What an amazingly busy Term 2 we have had this year! In the last week of term we had our annual Winter solstice Evening and it was great to see so many from our community relaxing, socialising and sharing stories over sausages, soup and hot chocolate. Our students were also very excited about their part in the evening as part of our lantern parade or in one of the musical performances. It was a reminder again about eh fantastic community atmosphere we have here at Pender's.
Some other highlights of the term were:
A reminder too that NAIDOC Week falls during the school holidays and we would encourage you to participate in some of the many activities and events that are held to celebrate. For some ideas have a look at http://www.naidoc.org.au/
We hope you all have a restful holiday and we look forward to seeing you all back on Tuesday July 17th.
