School Garden Update

Posted on by

We are very grateful to the Principal, all the teachers, the SNAs and the office staff for their ongoing support and enthusiasm.

Thank you to Dave, the Caretaker, for all the help in the garden, for installing the water butt, building a seat and for all the general advice and assistance.

Sincere thanks to all the parents who are juggling busy lives to make time for the garden project.

Many thanks to DLRCOCO, to the Parents’ Association for their support and to the families who donated plants and equipment.

Please come and visit the school garden and our outdoor classroom. Anyone interested in volunteering is most welcome.
