It is a totally free course that will equip you with many skills and will also result in the establishment of a support network for families who take part. Do consider doing the course. You can register on line at www.positivepartnerships.com.au or we have application forms available if you do not have access to the internet. Just give our office a call on 43257783 or 43252325 and we will send the forms home to you.

They are $55.00 each for children’s sizes and $66.00 for adult sizes, but are re-usable and durable. Sizing information on the adult sizes not shown here is available on the website. You can order them on line through the website www.conni.com.au It was mufti day today, and families and friends of our students were asked to send in an item for the Christmas Raffle Hampers. Thankyou to everyone who supported us in this way. We are still collecting items, so if you forgot or were unable to send anything in today, please feel free to send in items on Monday or Tuesday. Parents will be meeting during the week to put the hampers together and get raffle tickets out to everyone. Regards Gwenda Williamson
