To all of our seniors leaving us prematurely today... it’s been a pleasure watching you all grow over the past years. This is definitely not goodbye and we look forward to having you back in August to say a proper, planned farewell. In the meantime take care and stay safe.
To all our seniors from all the staff - here’s to you!! We’ve all been thinking about you these last few weeks but especially today. Hope you’re all safe and well and looking forward to the future and all it holds. Oh and thanks for the postits 😂
Well done to the girls football team who took part in the SPAR Future Stars Cup at Toryglen today. The team achieved 4th place and we are all very proud of them 😊
