The end of term is fast approaching (our next newsletter is the last for 2019), but the pace of work is certainly not subsiding! Teachers are in the final stages of putting together our Year 1-9 reports (seniors from Years 10 and above have already had their exam reports), students continue to work on a variety of different projects including their Yellow-Eyed Penguin Trust information posters. Please note that the last day of school for 2019 is Thursday 12th December - it will be a half-day. We will conclude with a final assembly at 12pm, and departure/buses at 12.30 pm. News
