Building Projects

We are finally starting the refurbishment of some of the junior rooms and the junior toilets next week.  Please be aware that there will be contractors on site.  They will be cordon off areas where they are working for safety reasons.  Please remind your children to respect these barriers for their own safety.  Contractors will have their site office in the staff and service car park.  Please remember this is NOT an area for dropping off or picking up children before or after school.  We will keep you updated on the progress and hope to minimise the disruption to staff and students.

Reminder around Child Safety:

"Never call children across from the other side of the road.  Excited children often dash out onto the road forgetting to look for traffic.  Children cannot accurately judge traffic speed." 

CHOOSE SAFETY OVER CONVENIENCE.  PROTECT ALL OUR CHILDREN

This week's "word search" is for the phrase logical thinking skills............   First two to spot the phrase and email me at a.simpson@woodend.school.nz  will win the chocolate !!
