We started our Association year by hosting the traditional Year 9 Meet and Greet after the Meet the Teacher afternoon on Friday, 17 February. On a balmy Hamilton evening, it was held on the Cherrington Lawn, under the trees. It was great to share time and connect with our Year 9 families. Thank you to those who were able to join us and to the staff that could attend
