Ava Memorial Hedge
 To commemorate the sad loss of Ava our Guide Dog Puppy, many school families purchased a tree to plant in our 'Ava Memorial Hedge'; these were provided to us at a reduced price by Flower Power in Orchard Hills. These Camellias (Jennifer Susan - pink) were planted at the end of October.
The students have organised a roster to water, tend and fertilise the shrubs and we are looking forward to a beautiful row of subtle pink blooms next year.
Thank you to our students and parent community for your contribution and support. It has been greatly appreciated.
