Message from the office\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t believe Monday is the first day of September and Spring Day! I am glad to see the end of winter but can\u2019t believe how quickly the weeks and months have gone by this year.<\/p>\n

I love spring as it comes with a renewed sense of joy and excitement, and days filled with brightness and warmth! I look forward to our school being filled with our beautiful girls covered in colour and blossoms on Monday! Happy spring to all our VP families!<\/p>\n
