Good afternoon

I trust everyone is enjoying this leap year day as well as the bright sunshine.

Please take note that on Saturday 2nd March that both the normal classes at Notre Dame Primary and Kelvin Hall are cancelled in favour of the Karate Grading being held Saturday 2nd March at the Kelvin Hall from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

Even if you are not in for the grading you should attend the grading event as the way our Karate Association conducts gradings is by continual assessment and not just on the day
