Crossing the road
All pedestrian crossings are supervised by a staff member every day for about 10-15 minutes at the beginning and at the end of the day. Lately Mrs Maihi who supervises the crossing on Broadway has been concerned by a few children who are not crossing where they should and are putting their lives at risk. Whanau of these children have been contacted but it is important please for all whanau to remind their tamariki about why they should use the pedestrian crossings please.
Whanau Hui
All whanau are invited to come along to school on Tuesday 14th March to meet with their child’s class teacher. Whanau can choose which time they would like to attend a session from the following times: The first session will be at 3.30pm, the second at 4pm, the third at 4.30pm and the final session at 5pm.

Please come along to hear about what is happening in your child’s class, discuss ideas with the teacher about helping your child at home and take a look at the work to date your child has completed.
If you have any queries please contact us. All whanau who attend will go into a draw to win one new school polo shirt and school jacket.
