Joey’s Outdoor Classroom Arrives: We are delighted to finally see our Outdoor Classroom ready for use after all the planning & fundraising! In March of 2022, we held our Fundraising walk with the Parents’ Association to raise much-needed funds for our outdoor area of Rosie’s Garden & Joey’s Outdoor Area. We are looking forward to having our outdoor space used now to facilitate learning, group-work, student wellbeing activities & recreational time, all set in the fresh air and located next to Rosie’s Garden. A huge thank you to all our school community for supporting our fundraising initiatives and to Outdoor Spaces for working with us to install it! Hopefully the sun will continue to shine!
