CHRISTMAS PARTY & CONCERT

We are looking forward to our end of year celebration on Monday week 10 (11 December). The festivities begin around 4:30pm with some great activities organised by the parents. There will be a Jumping Castle, Face Painting, Tattoos, Cookie Making and much more. There will be a sausage sizzle and hot food available for dinner. Please log onto the QKR app to order something for dinner.

Around 6:30pm the children will be ready to entertain everyone with some songs in the hall that they have been preparing in their music classes. This will be followed by a visit from our friend from the north pole around 7:30pm.

It should be a great afternoon and evening for all the family to enjoy.
