Enrolments for the 2012 school year are now well underway. During July we held our open days and open evening when prospective parents and students were able to see the school in action. If you were unable to attend on those days and would like to have an individual tour of the school, please feel free to phone the school office on 410 7805 to arrange a suitable time.
