Pre-Prep say goodbye to Mr Court
07/07/2010

Mr Court with card

Pre-Prep have certainly enjoyed the assemblies given by Mr Court over the years but this week it was their turn to entertain. Each class took a turn to perform with puppets. The boys sang their favourite songs and told the story of Daniel. PP3W ended the performance with a re-write of Mr Courts ‘Favourite Things’.

Tuesday assemblies have always thrilled Pre-Prep when Mr Court has brought his array of animal puppets. The boys have met Oyu the Orang-utan, Kylie the Koala, Craig the Crocodile and other animal friends of Mr Court. The puppets have listened, not as attentively as the boys to bible stories! His gentle messages have given the boys good moral guidance in a special way that the boys could understand.

All of Pre-Prep will miss Mr Court in September. We all wish him and Mrs Court a wonderful retirement.
