Hopefully we will have something nice to eat, that we have grown ourselves, at the end of the process. We will keep you updated with photographs.

Here are two teams that recently represented our school. Deacon, Amber, Alanna and Jack participated in the Credit Union quiz last weekend in the Town Hall.
