THANK YOU – School Year Book Sponsors
We wish to acknowledge the contribution of the following
businesses for sponsoring the 2014 School Year Book which
went home last week.
FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Canterbury Long Run Roofing
This is my last newsletter as your School Principal and it
is an opportunity for me to acknowledge all the support
I have had while I have been at Grantlea Downs
Gabities Appliance Services
As I mentioned at the Prize Giving, it will come as no
surprise to you that I have found Grantlea Downs to be
a beautifully presented School with a very supportive
school community. The students are very welcoming
and enjoy coming to school. The staff are hardworking
and very motivated, striving to offer the very best
education they can for all the students.
Marcia’s Hair and Beauty
My contract with the school finishes on Thursday.

I want to wish all of you the very best for 2015 and
beyond.

Please support these local businesses.
Merry Christmas to you all and I hope you all have a
relaxing and safe holiday.
