AFCCT Community Projects Officer Dean McBain had this to say about Seaton Primary School. “From the first time we met with Seaton Primary School three years ago, it is amazing how much work has been done together. This is due to a great working relationship between AFCCT staff and the teachers, parents and pupils. It’s great to see the positive impact that has already been made and I’m sure it will continue to do so in the future.”
