Parent Association
Thank you
Open Day – what a day! The weather was in our favour and it was lovely to see so many happy faces. To all the wonderful volunteers selling fabulous cakes, doing their best chef work on the BBQ and providing the scrumptious large scones for the Devonshire Teas – thank you – an excellent job was done by all!
We saw our talented girls leading school tours and the Main Quad was a splendid atmosphere of the girls’ musical talents. Wandering around the various displays was a relaxed way to see a small snapshot of what our girls see, do and learn everyday at school. As current parents, we are ambassadors for future parents!
Thanks to ALL the parents and students who contributed on the day to showcase our wonderful school. An extended big thanks to: Kate Brown and her team on the Cake Stall; Mal Foubister and his team on the BBQ and Sue Whipps and Louise Wytenberg and their team on the Devonshire Tea Stall.
As the weather changes and we feel a coolness in the air, we know that Easter is not far away. If you have any general questions about getting involved with PAL, please email Tracey.
