An amazing journey!  From Miss Ryan and Mrs Webber Dear Parents  Our year together has now come to an end. It has been an  amazing journey . Each morning, we have looked forward to seeing the children’s’ bright smiling faces walk into the classroom. These smiles always made us feel happy and contributed to a pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere. Our journey has seen the children develop an  enthusiasm  and  love  for learning. They have learnt to have a go at challenging activities and complete activities to the best of their ability. We are very proud of all the children and congratulate them on their wonderful efforts and achievement in Pre Primary/ Year One. We wish the children all the very best for next year. Thank you very much for your  fantastic   support  throughout the year. We have really enjoyed getting to know you and your lovely families.  Kind regards Miss Ryan and Mrs Webber
