Dear parents, friends and families Thank you very much to our wonderful mums and staff members who helped out with the Father's Day breakfast. We had a great role up of fathers and grandfathers and they were all very well served with hot bacon and egg rolls and coffee or tea. The team worked very efficiently and special thanks to Michael Gaskin for setting up and packing up this morning. Great job to all the ladies / mums for all their efforts. Happy Fathers Day for last Sunday to all our dads. A big congratulations to the Keulen family (Lachlan - Kinder) who won the Father's Day raffle . Yours in Christ Kathy Gaskin Principal
