Year 10 Parent Dinner

Thank you to the 97 parents who attended the Chinese Banquet dinner at the Shun Fung Restaurant on September 19. The evening was most enjoyable and was a great way for Year 10 parents to celebrate the completion of their sons' personal projects for Year 10.

Funding Requests

Thank you to the parents who attended our 'Open" meeting on September 16. At this meeting we approved funding for the Music Department to upgrade its current stock of musical equipment, including the purchase of a tuba, a concert bass drum and some percussion equipment.
