Support Staff Week!

We really appreciate our staff at school who help our learners in small groups, help them with learning of English and reading. We are so grateful for the staff who look after our school grounds and fix things when they are broken! We are so lucky to have lovely people in the office to do all the administration that makes the school tick over smoothly, too.

Here is our special morning tea today for all our Support Staff: Room 11 made a giant card for Mrs Anderson who works hard in the Office.
