building, it's unbelievable it came up in six months. And I'm so happy, seeing
the individuals learning within this environment, now, that I've come back ten
and a bit years later, 11 years now. It's a pleasure to see the school grown, a
school community grown, all the achievements, and the pride that you've got in
those many awards you've received. It shows just how much work it has taken to
grow this, and how much reward we all get as adults to see the children here as
they grow. Great! Congratulations and good luck.”

milestone, it is a celebration of the collective spirit, creativity, and
perseverance that has fuelled our community's pursuit of educational excellence
