Hi Annemarie,
It’s Grade 2C from St Matthew’s North Fawkner. We just wanted to say thank you for allowing us the opportunity to engage in the educational session yesterday. We absolutely loved it. Sovereign Hill is by far the best excursion we have been on to date. You can check out our blog at bcashin.global2.vic.edu.au.
