Road Patrol

Year 7 children provide road patrol services at the crossing outside the top school gate on Washington Ave between 8.30am and 8.55am and 2.55pm and 3.10pm each school day. The children are supported by a teacher, parent or caregiver at the location. We rely on volunteers from the school community to help with this, so if you are able to help please contact Karen Overell - karen.overell@brooklynprimary.school.nz
