ARBOR Values
This term Osborne Graphics has added some wonderful visuals of our ARBOR Values to the school. The additions included new door signs, a big ARBOR Values mural to our undercover area, a new sensory path in Early Childhood and signs for our gates. We are very pleased with the outcome and welcome you all to take a walk around and have a look.
