HATS. It is an expectation at Kaiapoi North School that everyone wears a sunhat when they are outside. These can be purchased at the Office for $12.00. As an added protection from the sun applying sunblock is encouraged.

Safer Schools: ‘Safety at the School Gate’

Remember to use the crossing!

Constable Ken Terry has been monitoring parking on Allison Crescent, specifically when parents come to collect their children. Here are the tips he has suggested for the safety of all children.

  • Always park on the school side, even if this means walking further it does mean children do not have to cross the road

  • Reduce speed near the school

  • Do not park over driveways or double park

  • As summer approaches and the weather is warmer, encourage your children to walk, bike or scooter to school, especially with friends.

This helps :

* develop decision making skills

* enhance responsibility

* children learn to manage some risk

* builds resilience

Have a wonderful week.
