Principals Message - Meaghan Cook

Happy Mothers Day.
I read this recently and wanted to share it with our community.
By Rachel Martin,
Mum
Emotional, yet the rock.
Tired, but keeps going.
Worried, but full of hope.
Impatient, yet patient.
Overwhelmed but never quits.
Amazing, even though doubted.
Wonderful, even in the chaos.
Life Changer, every single day.

I would particularly like to acknowledge our wonderful P&C who organised the gifts and came into the campus to sell the products. All money raised comes back to your children.
