Maggie Dent and Nature Play

We had a very special visitor to our school, Maggie Dent (also known as the Queen of Commonsense) an Australian author, and educator who has a particular focus on helping parents with all things children and adolescence.  Maggie was the original inspiration for our new Nature Play area with her insights and knowledge shared last year. Since then our P&F committee along with many community members have worked very hard to bring this project to fruition. Maggie was thrilled with our new area and we were very proud to share it with her!
