Dear Parents

Senior student Exam success

As a follow up to the very successful workshop attended by our senior students last week, I would like to make the following information available:

Mufti-day

There is to be a mufti-day on Friday August 28. The theme will be black and white and the funds raised through the gold coin donation will go to support the netball teams.

AFS - host families wanted

The AFS organisation is again calling for host families. There are currently 14 students arriving from overseas who have yet to be placed with host families. There is a range of countries represented – Germany, France, Denmark, Kong Kong, Russia, Austria and the Czech Republic – amongst the group of 9 boys and 5 girls. For further information contact the local hosting co-ordinator (Sue Walsham 238 9223 or Email, or view the photos and details here

Hosting is a very rewarding experience for both the host family and the hosted student. It is well worth the effort.
