Message from Mrs Harris:
This week, we’ve been reflecting on what it truly means to serve our community, one of the key ways we live out our school values of Love, Serve, and Grow. It has been a joy to welcome so many of you into school for our parent evenings, sharing in the progress and achievements of your children.

In all of these events, we’re reminded of the words in 1 Peter 4:10: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” Whether it’s through baking, performing, learning, or encouraging one another, may we continue to serve with joy and purpose.

Wishing you a peaceful and refreshing weekend as we prepare to celebrate a busy and joyful end to the term.
