Dear Parents,

The last word … nearly the end of the year! A BIG THANK YOU! I have had many parents approach me to thank the school for the job we are doing. We really do appreciate the feedback we have received. Our job here is not just a job. We are here for a purpose and we realise that purpose is a very important one. It is encouraging to us that parents see the purpose in what we do shining through.

Another BIG THANK YOU! For all your continuing support of your children and the school.

Finally, the Primary School staff wish you and your family a blessed and happy Christmas! We look forward to meeting up with most of you again next year! A special farewell to those families who have their final year of association with the Primary School. We wish you God’s richest blessings.

John Stackhouse,

Head of Primary School
