Kia ora Koutou

Dear Parents/Caregivers,

Well we are almost at the end of the Term again. Last day of Term 2 is next Friday 3rd July, and beginning Term 3 on Monday 20th July.

You may of seen our excellent article in Wednesdays edition of ODT, of our Pupils planting our Southern Rata Trees. Big thanks to Project Crimson!!
Assembly is tomorrow (Friday) at 2:15pm, Room 11 is hosting. Feel free to come along and join us in the hall.
At the moment the children are studying Road Safety. We do have some issues with the crossing on South Rd. We are negotiating with the D.C.C for signs and looking at some other initiatives with Mr. David Bond from Road sense.

Cheers

Mike Darracott
Principal
