September has flown by and we have packed in a lot! There has been a heap of teaching and learning happen. We have held two whole school community building events. The first sports of the year, soccer & X-country, are in full swing. The Art club, Drama club, Music help and Math help have had their first meetings! AND we have added a whole extra class!
I hope parents and students will join me in thanking Acadie volunteer coaches and club leaders for uplevelling the school experience for a huge group of kids - thank you for all your extra time and effort, it does not go unnoticed!
