SCHOOL PRODUCTION.
Thanks to all children, families and staff for all your support
and participation in our wonderful school production Special
thanks to Miss Simone Sky for her creative leadership. Fantastic!
Dear Miss Sky and all Corpus Christi family
We were highly impressed with the last
night performance. We thoroughly enjoyed the show. I could
see, people sitting around us also enjoying. The whole performance made us so curious, thinking that what comes next and
after next.... I think Miss Sky deserve a lot for making this performance so interesting and vibrant. I am sure many parents
like us felt proud that their sons and daughters are going to
this school and having this exposure. What a relevant theme
for the present context; where children are growing with so
many challenges ahead. We highly appreciate your immense efforts and hard work for making this program so successful. Well done!!!
Thank you so much.
Warm regards
Jamuna Parajuli ( Jeeban's mum)

those children who walk or ride to school without adult supervision.

on the day of absence using the following methods
Email Child’s name and class to:

that children are still at home.

The Parents’ Association plays an important role in providing social, fundraising and recreational activities for
