Term 3 starts on Monday 15 July

Yes! We're back already!

As I've been away on holidays there is no plan for the term, so let's go with a troubleshooting session for Monday morning (10 am to 12 noon). Bring all your questions, on any subject and we'll work through them.

Monday afternoon (1 to 3 pm) will be back to basics as usual.

See you Monday!
