Arthog Thank You

I am very proud of Team Arthog this week…

The children themselves have been commended for their excellent behaviour and wonderful company this week.  They have been a pleasure and we are very proud of all they have achieved and experienced.  Arthog offers invaluable adventures for our children and I am certain will have formed memories for a lifetime.

I am incredibly grateful to the staff team who have given up time from their own families to ensure the children are safe, cared for and have an enjoyable experience.  It is over and above that our staff team commit so readily to our residential offer and I cannot thank them enough.

Thank you to our parents and carers who have enabled this residential to go ahead.  We appreciate the support you have given to your children to prepare for the visit and to ensure they have what they need.  As always we are grateful for the support you give to NJS to enable such experiences to take place.

Families: enjoy the dirty washing!  Staff: enjoy a good rest!

Thank you to everyone.
