We also recognise the disruption caused by the unexpected school closure, and we are truly grateful for your flexibility and understanding in making alternative arrangements at short notice.
Your partnership is a reflection of the values we share at Calvary—authentic care for others, a commitment to excellence, and a spirit of resilience and hope.
