Santa's Breakfast On December 20th, Carson staff were in a festive mood as they came into the school at 6am to cook up the annual Santa's Breakfast. The Music Program performed while hundreds of meals were served. All of the proceeds went to the Harvest Project and a donation of $1000 was made in the school's name. Well done Carson!
