Welcome to another week of frivolity and learning.  As we enter the back half of the year, we have been impressed by some of the work students are beginning to present and the willingness to get down and audit homes for electrical appliances. Some very interesting discoveries were made including unknown charging chords plugged in waiting for a device that may no longer exist.  School photos  As it is your child's last chance to have a primary school photo and they will have a graduating photo on top of that, we ask that every effort is made to be in the correct uniform. This includes shoes, hair and beards. Appropriate black shoes should be worn, hair if shoulder length needs to be tied up (we like to see the faces of the students in our class photos) and beards trimmed neatly.
