Dear Parents, Thank you to all for your continued support of myself and the Senior Students. I hope you have a great break. If you get the "I'm bored" - remind them reading is fun, take them to free programmes run at your local Library. Also encourage them to spend time on Mathletics. Most of all be happy, be safe and enjoy the holidays. Judi
