Every term we hold an Open Afternoon where parents and families are invited into school and their child shares their 'Learning Journey' from that term with them. 

It is a wonderful afternoon and an opportunity to collectively celebrate children's success each term.

Below are photographs and comments from our latest Open Afternoons:
