QBS Celebration of Learning – Friday 12th of June
It was lovely to see families in school spending time together as part of the Celebration of Learning Day. The students were the leaders of this event and they did a fine job sharing their learning in many different ways with parents. We hope you enjoyed this experience with your child, took time to view the various classroom displays and valued the time together in school. Thank you for your continued partnership and support. It is deeply appreciated.

Parents as Partners
It was wonderful to see so many of our parents come along to the Coffee Morning on Tuesday 9th June. The chance to come together, to catch up and get to know each other is always valuable. Several of you asked if we can meet up more often and so I will try to organise these events more regularly next year. Thank you to the parents who offered to continue to be involved in our school next year too!

QBS QUIZ NIGHT
Thank you to all our students, parents and staff who participated in the event yesterday evening. It was a great event with lots of fun and happy moments and lots of positive feedback from all. Mr Dale Caffrey, our Quiz Master, enjoyed hosting the event last night and felt that we had a very mix of nationalities grouped into teams attending the family event. We hope that next year, with all your support, we will be able to host a bigger Quiz Night.
