FIELD & SENIOR FORT NOTICES
Please don't throw anything over the fence into the
neighbour's properties at any time!
Thanks Matua
Year 5-8 Football/Touch/Flag on the field
When the bell rings, you must leave the field straight away. Not finish your game, have a final play, or "last goal wins". When the bell rings, pick up the ball, and leave the field. The duty teacher should not have to remind you or wait for you to finish your 'final plays'.
This is the same for before school - when the bell rings, go straight to class.
If you continue to hang around after the bell has gone then we will have to have a break from ball sports on the field.
Please do not block the slide or play ball tag or any ball games on the Senior Fort. Ball games are to be played on the field or basketball court instead.
HAVE FUN AT LUNCHTIME AND BE KIND TO EACH OTHER
Thanks

From today until Monday 8th December the library will be CLOSED, including lunchtimes for the stocktake. This means that I will be busy scanning all the books that the library has in it. This helps to keep the catalogue information up to date, as well keeping an accurate number of books (stock) in the library. I also find out books that are missing and what needs to be
reordered.
There are still a lot of books that are issued out. These need to back as soon as possible. Some kids will be going to classrooms to collect any returns and the return bin will be out the front of the library as well.
From Tuesday 9th – Monday 15th December the library will be open again for the Summer Reading Programme. I will open the library, for extended hours on the last week of term, so that books can be issued over the Summer holidays.
