School Travel Plan Workshop
On Monday 29 August at 5pm a parent workshop is being held in the staffroom to outline our school’s safe travel plan. This plan has been developed by the DCC, Sport Otago and the Police in consultation with school staff and families to provide a safe and healthy way for children to get to and from school. In addition issues relating to parking and the lack of a footpath in Longworth Street next to the school boundary will be raised. All are welcome to attend.

Assembly
Assembly will now be held fortnightly. There will be no assembly this week.
