JUNIORS
The school needed the hall last night to rehearse for the school play that’s on September 4 and 5, so we are holding our wind-up and presentation dinner tonight, instead.
We had 14 junior badminton players turn up to play last Wednesday, even though they had no school, which shows how much they love their badminton.
