Day and Barbeque I
would like to take this opportunity to thank all those people who helped
to make the events held last Friday run so smoothly. Sports
Day was a great success and we have all those who helped to thank. The
teachers, staff and many parents and students all contributed to making
the day so enjoyable for the pupils. The
PTA Committee – Mrs Park, Mrs Kamal, Ms Dennis and Mrs Schriver - did a
wonderful job of organising the barbeque. I am sure that everybody had a
very enjoyable time on Friday evening. We must also thank parents who gave
money, donated wine or helped to supervise the food and beverages. The
music and dance, performed so well by our students, contributed greatly to
the fun. All the performers were very entertaining and they seemed to
enjoy their time in the spotlight. We must thank Mr Albert who spent many
hours working with the children as well as providing the music. Good
