Senior School Performing Arts Celebration

This was an amazing showcase of classroom learning and reminded us of the wider issues of sustainability and keeping our environment in a way that future generations will appreciate.
Well done teachers and students. It was fun to watch and to anticipate what was going to happen next as the show progressed. LJ.

What a great day it was on Saturday with many of the local schools taking part in the Annual Koanga Festival.

There was a great turn out and the kids all looked and sounded fantastic.

All these images and more that were taken are available to purchase, please just email me if you would like information about how to go about this. Parents are also welcome to purchase the images.
