Do you have a fond memory that you would like to share?
When we went to the Metro Centre. It was great to spend time with our Year Office, we had such a laugh. Also all the dress up days when Mrs Rayner always went over an above on her costumes.

One person who I will never forget is Mrs Rayner. She has supported and helped me in ways I will be forever grateful for. She helped me understand who I was and that there is always light at the end of tunnel. Now I am thriving in college because of the support from Mrs Rayner.
