Arbor Day Celebration
This was a huge success and enjoyed by all. Thank you to the parents for the extra effort displayed in terms of the “dress-up” costumes for the Junior Phase children. The event was used to draw awareness to the importance of trees in our environment but also to make the students aware of the “Save the Rhino” campaign against rhino poaching which is a serious threat to our wildlife. A special word of thanks to Teachers Estelle, Jeanne and Pam for all they did to make the day so memorable.
Spring Day Activity
On Thursday 1st September, the children at the Junior Campus (Pre-R – Grade 3) thoroughly enjoyed painting Spring Flowers on the playground wall. This was a wonderful experience for our budding artists and parents are encouraged to pop round to the back and view the spectacular work. Thank you to the Dey Street Teachers for their superb effort in organising this.
