I hope you managed to relax during the dance break and are recharged for another fun term. Congratulations to all the dancers who performed on stage at the MYD and a big thank you to all the teachers and volunteers who ensured the day ran smoothly!
Thank you to everyone who travelled to Warrnambool to compete and/or support our wonderful students. We were lucky to get great wether for most of the week! More details can be found below. It was a great way to finish off Term 2.
The teachers took time at the end of last term to talk with their students about our End of Year (EOY) theme ‘Hobbies: I Like…’. As always, the students have come up with some great ideas. We can’t wait to see all the dances on stage with costumes!
Thanks again for your continued support …. and a warm welcome to our new students and families commencing this term. We’re excited for Term 3 :)
