Students in our Junior School have started celebrating the **LITERACY AND NUMERACY WEEK with an optional Out of Uniform / Dressing Up Day today. It was lovely to see so many children participating and enjoying the start of our Literacy and Numeracy Week today.
Students had the options to come to school in YELLOW (Literacy) or GREEN (Numeracy) or a mixed of both to show their preference for the love of literacy or maths.
Out teachers collected gold coin donations from their students with all contributions going to be donated to the Burma Flood Victims.
