Grass on the field
The grass was mowed over the weekend which means there is lots of grass to play with on the field - FUN!!
Please remember, the grass belongs to everyone, however, if others have piles of grass they are playing with please don't take it from them. There is plenty of grass on the field for everyone to have fun.
We do not want to have to say "no grass play" but if arguments arise, this will be the choice the teachers will have to make.
Play fair, and everyone can have fun.

PATROLS TRAINING FOR 2026 TEAM
If you are Years 5, 6 or 7 right now, YOU can train to be part of our Traffic Safety Team next year! Yes, it takes guts to be out there in all weather, integrity to turn up on time and not let your team down, and commitment to keeping your community safe.
Sign up at the office this week. You will need to take the letter/permission slip home and discuss it with your parents. Return the signed slip to the office by the end of Week 2 (Friday 17th October).
Training with Constable Steve is on Wednesday 5th November (Week 5). You will then go on the roster for the rest of the term to practise your new skills!
