Term 2 (and beyond): Important Dates

There are a number of important dates that we would like you to be aware of:

Friday, 27 April, 10am, Amesbury Hall: Unveiling of artwork being presented to the school by the building consortium. You are all invited to attend. The artist, Jeff Thomson, will be present to talk about the piece he has been commissioned to create for us. I am told it is about 5metres high and it is painted corrugated iron. I see this as our opportunity to say a BIG thank you to all the contractors who have put so much thought and effort into the development of our school.

We would like to put on a nice morning tea for the consortium of which there will be about 20 - 25 members present. If you are able to help provide a plate of something yummy, please let Gail at the office know.
