Hi Everyone,
Just a quick update to ensure you are hanging tough as we make our way through the 4th Term, with Xmas and the long summer break in sight.
I hope you have enjoyed reading the new Darlington Post. It's a great addition! I'd like to pay special thanks to the team that put it together. From those parents who volunteered to write the class reports, the teachers that assisted with the content, artwork and photos, and lastly to both Rae and Suzy who co-ordinated and designed the publication, spending many hours to ensure that it would be well read and enjoyed by everyone. Many more to come.
We had a successful Cake stall at the Eveleigh Markets. Again it was well received. To those who volunteered and contributed to its success, I thank you !
If you can all put next Wednesday, 3rd November, in your diary as the next S&C meeting. To start @ 6pm in the teachers staff room. Look forward to seeing you there.

Dear wonderful Darlington parents, staff, friends and community,
The Fete on Saturday was a brilliant success, in part because of the weather but primarily because of the incredible effort, time, optimism and sheer kindness of so many of you who volunteered beforehand and on the day in A myraid of different capacities.
