A very long time ago, when I was 8 years old, I went to a wonderful primary school in Melbourne for two years, called Ivanhoe East Primary School! And today I went back to visit all the students and staff! Thank you so much to lovely headmistress Ms Milena Maranville, fabulous librarian Judy Garner and her assistant Catherine Mawson, and all the staff and students for such a warm welcome back! I had a lovely time!
