I love how excited the community is when big events happen and we have 2 fantastic ones coming up - Funfest and Musical!! Get set for the ride and check out some important information below to ensure you are informed of changes to our normal routines and impacts of these exciting community times.
CHANGES TO CHAPEL AND ASSEMBLY WEEK 7 and WEEK 8
Due to Book Week special events, parades, Funfest practice and exciting preparations for our school Musical, there are some changes to our community times this week and next week. This week there is no Chapel or Assembly in the Junior School, this week's awards however will roll over to the following week. Next week both Chapel and Assembly will be conducted online, we will make this available to parents as we are able so that you can still share these together at home in place of being able to attend. Once the links have been made available for families, they will be stored on our Community Times @ Faithon our our Junior School Communication Hub.
