I just wanted to pass on my thanks for the 401 talk that was delivered in school yesterday. I have sons in year 8 and year 10 and both were really upbeat and positive about the talk. They were keen to share the details of what they had heard and were inspired by the content. Please do pass on my thanks to the staff that enabled this to take place. We appreciate the time and effort that goes into arranging these additional resources.
