School Sleepover - Can you lend a helping hand?

Our students are buzzing with excitement for next week’s school sleepover! On Thursday, teachers and students will enjoy a full day of learning, followed by a fun-filled evening of games, activities, dinner, and a sleepover at school.

This event is a fantastic way to prepare our kids for school camp later in the year.

However, it’s a big ask for our amazing teachers, who’ll be working two days straight with little rest! To help give them a well-earned break, we’re reaching out to our wonderful school community.

If you’re available to lend a hand, we’d love your help during one (or more) of these times:
🕓 After School Activities (approx. 3.30 pm – 5.30 pm)
🍽 Dinner (approx. 5.30 pm – 7.30 pm)
🍳 Breakfast Friday Morning (approx. 7.30 am – 8.30 am)

Your support will make a big difference and help the evening run smoothly. If you can assist, please comment below or contact Kerri Hollingsworth

Let’s make this a night to remember for our kids – and give our teachers the rest they deserve! 🌟
