Carols

Each year, we celebrate Christmas with our community by holding Carols by Torchlight led by Miss Brentnall and Mrs Edwards. This event is very well attended by our school community, and our students perform a Christmas carol. This year, Outback Steakhouse is supporting the event, and a delicious dinner can be preordered to enjoy on the night.
