Teacher Morning Tea 2012

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

We would like to thank all the parents who have baked and have helped on the day; the Morning Tea was amazing!! The feedback from the teachers was incredible and we were told that they have not had such a treat in 20 years...... So we have a lot to do over the coming years.

Again thank you so much, your support is very much appreciated and we hope to see you all again next year.

Please find hereby some pictures.

Warmest regards,
