Thanks for supporting Witches Walk and Halloween Cake Sale 2017!

Many thanks to all the families who supported our Witches Walk and Halloween Cake Sale. The turnout was just fantastic and it was great to see the wonderful smiles on everybody’s faces and the colourful costumes on the children. Thank you for dressing your children up, for kindly donating cakes/buns and for coming along to the school to join in the fun and buy something at the cake sale! It was a wonderful day. Many thanks also to members of our great PTA who helped organize the cake sale on the day!

We have many bake trays/tubs/boxes left in our school library for collection.
