• Last week saw the school Disco at Stubbs Park, with 25 children in attendance! A few visitors travelled from Kukerin Primary School which was great. Mr McCormick’s DJ skills were put to great use with some fab music on the playlist. Pass the parcel, Limbo and Musical Statues were all played, and a lot of fun had. A big thank you to Vicki and Ric at the roadhouse for the generous donation of food.
