Swimming Programmes entering our second week…
This morning our REAP instructor and I had a conversation about the temperature of the swimming pool. It has been decided that the remaining week of lessons will be taken starting 17th February, 2020. She will not be coming tomorrow and will make this day up some time in February.
Library Closed
PLEASE RETURN ALL SCHOOL LIBRARY BOOKS.
Books that are not returned will be invoiced to you. We are also very delighted when all school readers and journals are returned. Now is a great chance to have a big search of the house and bedrooms, and get all books back to us.
THANK YOU. Thank you to Mr Wing who came along and helped Mrs Wing with the big job of stock-taking our library. Teachers have received lists of outstanding books, however there are a large number of books that have not been scanned out of the library, which effectively means that they are being stolen. Please return all library and school books to school.
