Talofa everyone
It's hard to believe it's week 8 already. It's been a busy week with senior camps, St. Josephs Day Mass and activities and of course, the Gala which was a huge success. Many thanks for the ongoing parent/family support we get for these events and occasions to be successful. The Gala was a wonderful community event with many past pupils attending to help or connect.
Tomorrow is our Swimming Sports at the Aquatic Centre. The weather looks good and it will be our first time using the renovated pool. Children will be swimming the width of the pool this year (25m) instead of the length (50m).
Congratulations to Zoe and Lydia who participated in the Ocean Kids swim race Saturday.
