Message from Matua
Lately some of our students have not been making positive choices at school or at Technology which is disappointing.
Over the next 5 weeks until the end of the school year, anyone who is involved in any negative behaviour will be given community service in their break and lunch times. Please remember you are role models and our expectations of you are high so keep our school safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Auckland is in the midst of an unusually large bee swarming season, that experts say has been exacerbated by a milder than usual winter.
The Auckland Beekeepers Association says they have already dealt with 100 call outs this season.
In October, a swarm plastered the back of a parked car in Birkenhead for two hours.
A month earlier, a swarm took over a sign at a busy intersection on Queen Street, forcing pedestrians to reroute.
During spring and early summer, bees swarm when part of a colony that has outgrown its hive go in search of a new home or extra food. The mass of bees will temporarily find a place to land away from their hive, while scout bees search for an good home.
A much milder winter and spring has led to bees swarming weeks earlier than usual, and larger numbers of bees splitting off from their hives, possibly because warmer temperatures over winter meant that colonies might not have had lots of eggs, larvae and pupae dying from the cold.

Here is the new road patrol roster for the rest of the year. You will notice that all the experienced patrollers are buddied up with 2 new trainees. The idea is that they will get some on the job experience ready to go for it in 2027.
Kids need to be at school ready to go at 8:25 and at the end of the day they don't need to report for duty til 2:55pm.
