Boarding News
Hello to all our Boarder Families.
We have had a wonderful week in Boarding with some great news! Electric fans have been fitted to all the students’ rooms and air-con will be fitted into our recreation room over the next couple of weeks. This has been a slow process due to the availability of electricians in the Toowoomba area.
