National Simultaneous Story Time

What a fabulous time we had last week for National Simultaneous Storytime! Our students from Early Learning through to a Year 7 class enjoyed the entertaining reading of ‘The Cow Tripped Over the Moon’ by our very talented Director of Learning, Scott Dickson! Throw in some banter with PR team member Jase Scheidl and games and singing by talented reception class teacher, Katie Window and you have a recipe for fun!

Thank you to all those behind the scene helpers who made sure this event ran smoothly and to parents and caregivers who came along to enjoy the event too.

We can’t wait for next year!
