Craft Groups
Our craft group is up and running on Thursdays in the library during playtime. There is also our craft group on Tuesdays for students with a parent away, whether it be on deployment or course. I am also including in this group any students who might just need some quiet time during lunch or feel they are having a little help settling in. So please let me know if you would like me to invite your child to our Tuesday craft/Lego sessions.
Please feel welcome to visit me at school or contact me on 6249 8869 or, alternatively, send an email to brenda.galvin@cg.catholic.edu.au
