ADVENT FRIENDS: Last Sunday was the first Sunday of Advent. Each child in the school has been allocated an “advent” or “special” friend in the lead up to Christmas. Children should be particularly kind to the person without letting them know that they have been chosen. No cards or gifts are necessary and should not be sent into school.
