World Diabetes Day Last Friday we dressed in blue for World Diabetes Day to show our support for our friends and community who have diabetes. One of these very special friends is Reid. Reid is in the middle school and has Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. The immune system attacks and destroys the cells that produce insulin.

We would like to acknowledge our Home & School Committee for all the hard work they have done this year with organising and running sausage sizzles, disco and the sausage sizzle fundraiser at Digger Day. It is also great to see that we have some fantastic new members who have joined recently and lots of willing helpers. The staff and children of David Street School appreciate all you do in supporting our children.
