The year has whizzed by. It’s already the last term of the year!! Children are in Grades 2 to Grade 11. So close to Genevieve completing her formal education. As always I never know quite when my children will finish up their studies, so extra thought needed for her studies and goal achievements.

*Extra ‘curricula’ will be swimming lessons/squad once a week for the three youngest.
