A big thank you to Miss Amanda who has stepped into G4A this week. As she is involved with all planning meetings for G4, she has an excellent understanding of the program of study and is able to continue delivering a creative and appropriately challenging curriculum. I look forward to continuing to work with her next week.
Thank you for your understanding through Mr Rory's absence. G4 wishes him a speedy recovery and look forward to having him back soon.
I hope everyone has a good and restful weekend.
