Dear Parents,
Namaste and Welcome. Welcome back from the break, and welcome to our India month celebrations. On Wednesday, our opening assembly was simply amazing. Priya Murli and her dancers performed a spectacular array of dances representing many of the States of India and our children were all spellbound by their grace and skill. An enormous thank you to our Indian Studies teachers, Ms Bindu and Ms Anu for organising!
