While the Year 8's have been away in Wellington the Year 7's have stepped up as leaders at our school.

Road safety-we have had some concerns expressed about the safety of our students crossing the roads on their way home.  Our teachers have reminded our students about checking before crossing the road.  Can you please also talk to your child about keeping safe.  

Last Thursday 70 year 5-8 students travelled to Hillmorton High school to compete in the annual South West Zones athletics meet.

We were very fortunate to have again  received a grant from the Hornby Working Men's Club which we combined with a very generous discount from Mitre 10 Mega Hornby to purchase 2 worm farms. 

Last Wednesday Margaret Trotter, Steve Ladbrook and I had the privilege to attend the graduation of the Voice to Voice group.
