LANCASTERIAN PARENT GROUP - UPDATES AND CHANGES
This is to update all parents about parent group. We now meet 2 Tuesdays per term, where we have various speakers on different topics and well being activities, plus a brew and a biscuit and a chance to meet other parents. Then for the other weeks of the term you are able to come to our Tasty Treats Cafe which is run by the students in high school and this takes place on a Friday in our high school hall. The group that is on a Tuesday starts at 9.30am and finishes at 11am. The Cafe runs from 10am to 11am. The dates for both Parent Group on a Tuesday and Friday are below.
