The Sensory Garden team has been led by our very creative and hard working Teaching Assistant, Diane. She has been responsible for the concept, supporting the students' presentation of the idea to Mr England, securing our generous sponsors and coordinating the construction of the garden. She has worked tirelessly this past year behind the scenes to make this happen for our students and the wider school community to use and enjoy. It will be an evolving space for students to work in and enjoy the calm environment

Thank you all so much.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
