Children arriving at school before 8.25am
Whānau are reminded that while staff are often at school prior to 8.25am they are preparing for the day ahead and not supervising children. We have a number of children arriving at school very early in the morning and would encourage whānau to seek alternative arrangements so that their child is at school closer to 8.25am. Similarly at the end of the day we have children being collected at times well after 3pm. We would appreciate whānau co-operation.
Mainfreight Calendar Awards
Special congratulations to the following children who had their art work selected to be included in one of the 2020 Mainfreight calendars, Darcy Hughes, Paris Yukich and Naisha Singh.
