Final note.

So proud of my class this week. An amazing group of young people. A week in Wellington ..what a blast! Fabulous parent team and colleague too. Thanks to all families for all their hard fundraising work $12,000!! which made this trip affordable. 

Now a need for 2 weeks recovery! smile emoticon
