New P1 lunch
Yesterday we welcomed the new Primary 1 children and their parents in to try our school lunch and experience the dining hall. They all seemed to really enjoy it and then had the chance to go out and play in the big playground. The current P1/2 and P6/7 buddies were very caring and supportive. Well done!
