  Hello families, we are fast approaching our Christmas concert fortnight! There will be 3 different performances:

  Progression Step 2 (Years 1, 2 & 3) - Who took all the loo roll?

  Progression Step 3 (Years 4, 5 & 6) - Primary School Christmas Musical

   

  We are not charging for our tickets this year but you need a ticket to enter. As space is limited, initially we are giving each family 2 tickets per progression step concert. If more become available we will let all families know and you will have an opportunity to apply for more online. If anyone has mobility issues we need to cater for please let us know. 

   

  All families will be texted and emailed the link to order concert tickets - if you have not received this text please call the school office as we may have incorrect details for you.
