Nerae Preece Principal From the Principal What an amazing week it has been for our school. So many wonderful celebrations. It started on Monday when Bonnie Slootman (School Council Secretary) and I interviewed our grade 5 students for leadership roles in 2023.

Nerae Preece Principal From the Principal’s seat  This week I have been asked quite a bit about how I am feeling about the school building being demolished.

For some of you who attended Badger Creek School, there will probably be lots of different feelings for you, it’s always good to come and talk about it if [...]
