Early Reminder for the Leavers Dinner:

Over the last few years we have noticed a huge increase in the number of children coming to the Leavers Dinner in special cars; 2 years ago nearly 2/3 of children arrived this way. This is not a focus for the dinner that we want to foster or encourage.   

We realise that this is a special time for the children, however, we want to ensure that it remains special for all children. We are worried about the pressure and impact on those children who don’t have access to a special car for the night.  It is important that the focus for the night is the time spent at the dinner, not how they arrive.  We also want to keep the celebrations inclusive for all, and most importantly age appropriate for Grade 6. 

Last year we really appreciated the positive response to our request and feedback from many parents indicated that they were relieved to have this pressure taken off them.

We would really appreciate it if you could support us in this matter.
