Thank you to everyone who was so generous in donating gifts to our Harvest Festival service. Following The Abbey service the gifts were donated to worthy recipients. The retiring collection went to WaterAid. Our grateful thanks to all.

On Friday 6 of October we had some visitors to The Abbey! Excitingly, a group of students spanning Years 9 to 13 facilitated some Dance workshops for Years 4 and 6. It was a great day and The Abbey students really benefited from learning from the older students. The dance material was choreographed especially for the session and, as a teacher, it was very special to see two school communities come together as one to share, show and learn.
