I hope you are out enjoying the good weather, whether at the beach, in the hills or on a sports' field. Sleep quantities have improved following the completion of the Australian Tennis Open which was an absolute delight with the 4 finalists, the standard of play and sporting behaviours and of course the results!
This year Fernside School has new sports' shirts and swimming caps following the good work of parents Sarah and Alan, thanks guys.
