How will you support our Margaret Hendry Community in 2021?
We value the support we receive from our families.  

With each family contributing at least 2 hours of their time it allows our students to feel supported and represented in their school.

Please indicate below the activities you would like to be involved in.  If you have other extended family members who would like to help (Grandparents, uncles, aunties etc.) please add their details as well. Once you have indicated your interests, you will be contacted by a staff or community member to get started. You can nominate your available times in the comments section at the end of this survey.  Thank you in advance!
