Events

School events bring learning to life and help shape our school culture. They help students build confidence, connect with others and celebrate their progress. Events also give families a chance to be involved in school life and share in their child’s achievements. Our school ensures that all upcoming events are communicated effectively to parents and the wider school community through our school Facebook page and the parent calendar in Sentral.
