We'll be returning to online class this week and Mr Joyce, your TY Reps and I will be doing our best to keep this varied and useful to you. We'll be adding more information to the Google Classroom as we move through the final weeks of online emergency schooling.

Garrett’s 4x4x48 challenge in aid of Pieta House
Well done Garrett...this is incredible!
From Garrett
"Hi, for those of you who know me I’m Garrett (yes that’s really me in the photo), for those of you who don’t know me I’m... still Garrett. I’m doing the 4x4x48 challenge, meaning I’ll be running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours.
All of the money raised will be donated to Pieta House, because they have helped a lot of people, especially through these times when everyone is so far apart. Please donate what you can, any amount is greatly appreciated!"
