Well done to S5 Musician Jordan Stewart who has continued her recent successful run of competitions.  Jordan secured first place in the "Ataea Charity Competition" on Friday night where she performed two songs - one original and one cover.   Jordan was one of the youngest in the competition, so this was a great achievement. 

Just a reminder that our S4 Parent/Carer Meeting is tomorrow from 4pm until 6.30pm.  We look forward to seeing you then.
