Including the incredible Mr Darren W - you brought the whole house down and gave us all the feels with your incredible gifts. You know how to pull a crowd and fill a dancefloor! ❤️ Our incredible Community Choir who wow us again and again. Not only the voices of angels but inspiring all of our students to give anything a go and doing it with such enthusiasm and passion! You are one of our schools greatest blessings. ❤️ Our gorgeous Irish Dancers: Lucy L, Olivia S, Olive S, Sadie S & Ava S - you had everyone at a standstill clapping and cheering.

What a fantastic day for our Stage 3 boys and girls teams! Our students showed great teamwork, perseverance and determination throughout the day, supporting one another, encouraging their teammates and giving every game their absolute best. It was wonderful to see them demonstrate such positive sportsmanship, resilience and a willingness to keep trying, no matter the challenge. We are so proud of the way they represented our school both on and off the field! 💛💚⚽️
