The library gets a winter clean!

With the new school term and the sad passing of our principal Mr Coert, GCU have been making a big push to spring clean the library and get it ready for its first class on Monday morning. As many of you remember the library went through a big change at the end of 2011, and whilst GCU have been utilizing the space for its educational programs it is only until now that we are able to fully open the doors to every child in Woodlands Primary.

We have 3 ladies to thank for this, Mrs Van Nikerk, Mrs Safter and Mrs Lombard. Three mums from the community have now been employed by GCU to assist us in making sure this library is in full swing. This week the ladies and my-self have been cleaning shelves, organizing books, displaying books and making the library fit for purpose for Monday morning. On the 8^th August we will officially have an opening with red ribbon, scissor and a cake to mark the occasion. Watch this space as we will update you on the progress of this exciting project and how our children respond to this new space and the stories we intend to tell.
