Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty anyone who keeps learning stays young.  The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.Henry Ford

END OF TERM 3

As we reach the end of yet another busy Term I would like to take this opportunity to thank all for the support you have given both to your children and to the school and teachers. I would like to ask parents to help us make the final stretch for 2015 a success. Learners and staff have been involved in a wide range of events and activities and once again we have enjoyed and celebrated many successes. I wish you all a peaceful and joyful break and look forward to finding you all refreshed in the last Term of 2015.
