We welcomed the public with open arms, offering a wide range of activities and attractions for guests of all ages to enjoy. From exciting tombola and raffle prizes to refreshing drinks, the day was filled with fun and entertainment. Our guests also had the opportunity to participate in various games, including the popular "guess the baby photo" game featuring staff members and students, as well as activities like "guess the name of the teddy" and "guess how many sweets are in the jar." Additionally, the BBQ, café, plant sale, and second-hand stall provided plenty of options for delicious food, shopping, and socializing. A big thank you to all who came and supported our school!
