Week 7 Another busy week. Aside form teaching we had Parent Teacher meetings/Visit by HRH the Tongan Princess, who is also the Tongan High Commissioner in Australia and a play preformance. That was all on one day. To further create a full day the play we have been working on in Form 1 English we performed not only for the boy's parents but for HRH Angelique also.

Again after heavy rain overnight it will be another wet track. The Romeo and J...
