Spooky Disco

We had a fantastic night on Wednesday night at our “Spooky Disco”. We were amazed at the variety of costumes and the scary makeup that many of our students were wearing. Thank you to our P&C for providing food and drinks and to members of staff who gave up their time to supervise and support this great night of fun. This was a very hot night to be cooking a BBQ.
