BOOKS & BUNS FUNDRAISER – Click here for photos

We are all heading home a little fuller in the waist today after a wonderful morning sampling some delicious (and beautiful) cakes prepared by our teams of students and parents from Sandringham and Caernarfon. Thank you to all the parents who must have been up late yesterday cooking with their children and for everyone who kindly donated so many books. We have done a very rough count up of donations and we’re looking like reaching HK$20,000 to split between our two charities: Feeding Hong Kong and Bring Me A Book. Thank you all!

 

YEAR 2 – ADVENTURES IN OZ – Click here for photos

We all enjoyed a wonderfully colourful and fun-filled performance from our Year 2s this week. Thank you to all our year 2 students and teachers for all their hard work (and to our year 2 parents, of course, for their amazing work on the costumes).
