Juriella in Room 6 has misplaced her new polar fleece. It has her name on the tag. Can you all check your children's polar fleeces to see if it has been picked up by mistake.
The Principal’s award goes to Marian for always living out the Mercy Values. In the words of her teacher “Marian is like an angel”. Marian always does her best and always cares for others. She is a very good friend. Marian is someone who we can be very proud of.
