The prefab, that will be room 4, is coming along nicely. The gate to this building site, that sits on Linwood Avenue, should be closed at the beginning and end of the school days but please keep an eye on your children that they don’t venture into the site as it is dangerous in there. On that, just a wee reminder that school finishes at 3pm. Please do not pick up your child before that time – the last 30 minutes are important times for sharing information and learning. I am aware we did relax this during level 2 but we would like our children to stay until 3 please. Thanks Trevor Proctor Acting Principal

South East Zone Cross Country
Congratulations to our team of year 6 boys who qualified for and participated in the South East Zone cross-country. The event was held at Heathcote Valley Park on Tuesday afternoon in very cold conditions. They performed well and were in the middle of the pack of 42 runners. Mataio, Jakob, Hasnain, Apera and Murunui gave a very creditable performance, and we are very proud of their efforts and their good sportsmanship. Many thanks to Ms Meha and Ms Knowles for their work with the running club, and support for these boys.
iSport Foundation A team of students got to play cricket with Richie McCaw at the Hagley Oval yesterday. It was part of an iSport Foundation event promoting active kids.
