News from Prep H
Last Friday was a very exciting day in Prep H. We invited our lovely Mums in for a special pamper day to
celebrate Mother’s Day. The mums were treated to back and hand massages, nail polishing, hair brushing,
tattoos and make-up. After all these treats we wowed them with some very special songs and finally we
served them a cold drink and nibbles. We loved pampering our mums!
