School Speech Contest
All parents are cordially invited to listen to all our speech finalists. All finalists will present their speeches to the school in the hall on Tuesday 25th May, starting at 1pm. The school will stop for lunch early that day.
Book Fair
The Library is hosting the annual Book Fair from Thursday 27 May through to Monday 31 May (excluding the weekend). Students will bring home a flyer shortly. The theme this year is “Chill out with a good book”.
Book Fairs aim to help children develop a love of books and reading. To help your children find the books they like best, they can visit the library during school hours to see what books are for sale.
Students will be able to purchase books during that visit, but we also encourage parents to look over the books as well. Each child is able to take home a “wish list” showing the books they like, along with the prices. To make it more convenient, the library will be open until 3.30pm each day of the Fair. You might like to pop in when picking your children up. Some use the occasion to buy books for birthdays and Christmas.
Parents can also purchase books for the library!
Thank you for encouraging your children to read. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you at our Book Fair.

Library Manager
Senior Exams
