Winter Party!

We had our longest party to date on Wednesday afternoon lasting 7 hours! Around 80 people attended and everyone was very well fed with lots of laughter, games and fun. We provided all students with a Christmas party bag with useful and fun gifts inside. Thank you to our generous neighbours in Sharrow who helped us with their donations. There are more photos available on our Facebook Page here.
