Dear all

The unexpected magnitude of the earthquakes yesterday certainly caught us all a little off guard. I hope everyone has managed to get through without too much further damage. I trust tomorrow will bring happier times, sharing Christmas with family and friends. Take care of each other.

Best wishes and Merry Christmas.

Jeff Smith.

From the start of 2012 ALL students will be allowed to bring in a mobile device of their choice into school and connect to our wireless network. For more details about this initiative please visit the BYOD page on papNET (under Student Info).
