Dear Parents
The school is looking amazingly colourful today with pupils and many staff all dressed up as their favourite book characters.  Our ‘Dress Up Day’ brings a most successful ‘Book Week,’ to promote reading, to an end.

Last night the Grade 6 classes performed their ‘Cultural Evening’ production.  What an incredible production it was.  The standard of performance was very high and was not only educational but also highly entertaining with many in the audience in tears of laughter.  Our congratulations go to the pupils, to the Grade 6 and Shona teachers and our thanks to the parents who helped made the production so successful.

We welcomed the Head and representatives of Arundel school today when they came to talk to our Grade 6 and 7 pupils and interested parents.

Next week is Eisteddfod Choir’s and soloist’s week.  The choirs and soloists all are singing so beautifully and we look forward to their participation in the National Institute of Allied Arts Eisteddod and we wish them all every success.

We will be holding our Inter-House Athletics next Saturday for all pupils in Grades 3 – 7.  The high jump and long jump events will be held for Seniors next Wednesday afternoon and for Juniors next Thursday afternoon.

If any Grade 3 – 7 pupils will be unable to participate in the Inter-House Sports Day next Saturday, 17^th March, please would parents inform the office in writing.

Next Thursday will be the final afternoon of afternoon activities for the term
