What a week!

It's such an amazing place to be, we get to do this, we get to be here, we get to change the course of so many lives every day, we are incredibly lucky!
Week 2 of Rawlinson Reindeer games will not disappoint, there are so many exciting things happening! Can't wait to see how each of you represent.
If you haven't had a chance to hear the songs of the season or see our highly talented theatre students, this coming week will have plenty to choose from. Take a look at the calendar and pop in for some holiday cheer. The kids would LOVE to see you there.
