Remember that newsletters come out every two weeks, and are given to every student. If you have not seen one, talk to you son/daughter about this, you may find old newsletters fermenting in the bottom of their bag. Alternatively, contact the Principal, and he can e-mail them to you. They may also be downloaded from this page.
