Play Area Developments

Excavations for the final stage of the Verdon Block recreation area commenced today. We look forward to making use of the extra hoops, four square courts and all weather surfaces next year.

Fabric Bags

Mrs Hammond's fabric class proudly display the results of their bag project. The individual design and build nature of the project has produced some innovative concepts. An example of this originality is the Flag-Bag made by Quinton Keen. It is a bag that folds into a marker flag.
