A note from our Principal, Andrew Smith Hello and welcome to the Windsor North School Art Auction. It has been a real hive of activity here preparing for this event and we are delighted with the result. I would particularly like to thank Fiona Byrne for the many hours she has put into this auction and to our wonderful PTA for their efforts. We have also had some fantastic sponsor support and a very high calibre of Art work is on offer. Funds raised from this event will go towards the creation of a covered outdoor area. This will double as a shaded lunch area and outdoor learning area. Thank you once again to all the people involved in this event - your support and enthusiasm is greatly appreciated. I wish you all a very enjoyable viewing, and rewarding bidding experience!
