INCOMPLETE HOMEWORK!

Year 12s, I am not very happy this morning to see that only ONE student has completed and uploaded her production diary.

This is not acceptable and your will be getting a penalty point for not completing this activity.

This needs to be completed by the time I see you on Tuesday please.

Thank you,

Miss Beckles
