HOPE

is not the closing

of our eyes to the difficulties, the risks, or the failures. It is the TRUST that if I fail now I shall not fail forever that if I am hurt I shall be healed, that life is good And LOVE is beautiful that I SHALL FIND MYSELF. Jane Pillow.

John, Janelle, Jillian and Helen may be missing from our school community but they have left behind a challenge to us all.

Judith Hancock, PRINCIPAL.
