Holiday Projects
During the holidays we were pleased to have the interior of Room 17 painted, a new water fountain installed down by Nga Kākano and the new sandpit cover installed.
Pedestrian Crossing on Broadway
Every morning from 8.15-8.30am and 3-3.15pm Mrs Maihi is on road duty at the pedestrian crossing closest to Paper Plus and the Doctors. Please be sure your child gets to the crossing so that they can cross during these times.
We have also purchased a cone/flag to place in the middle of the two other pedestrians to help motorists notice and slow down when approaching. It has been pleasing to see Constable Whiti Tipoki out on the roads in the mornings also doing his bit to help keep our tamariki safe when walking to and from school.
