Your dedication, resilience, and the outstanding support from your parents have undoubtedly made us immensely proud. Your achievements not only reflect your individual efforts but also highlight the strong sense of community spirit that thrives within our school.

Additionally, we applaud the wonderful efforts of the West End School students who participated in the inter-school swimming championships held on Monday. Your determination and sportsmanship were truly commendable, and we are incredibly proud of your achievements. We extend our gratitude to the parents who supported Mrs. Black during the event.
