Over the holidays the magnificent new Prep playground was installed. I know that many generations of Prep children will use and love this equipment. The cost of the playground and the installation was in excess of $60,000 entirely paid for with donations and fund raising. On behalf of the school I would like to thank the school’s Parents and Friends Group, our School Council and the Spring Fair Committee who have co-ordinated the fund raising. In this we have also been generously supported by the Bendigo Bank with a $5,000 community grant. We are extremely fortunate to have such dedicated people providing amazing support to the school and a wonderful parent community willing to support the events they have organised. This is a tremendous effort that makes a huge difference to the children’s well being and happiness.
