World Book Day

St. Aidan's celebrated World Book Day on Wednesday 24 September.  Each girl in the Junior School was to choose a character in a book and dress accordingly.  Below are pictures of the girls...

All the girls in Year 6 went on an Excursion on the 18th of August.  They all took the train to the Gallery of Modern Art to visit the Surrealism exhibit.   Carter had a blast!    Below is a picture of all the girls.....Carter is to the far right...
