Team photos Friday 3rd November
To all coaches, managers and players,
Team photos will be taken on Friday 3rd November. Below is a general timetable – it is hard to give exact times due to the nature of the day. Children must be in their classroom at the start of school for morning roll call. Teams will be sent for as the photographer is ready for them.
Times are approximate only
All children will need to bring full uniform including socks and shoes as appropriate.
No uniform for road patrol, swim team, cross country, librarians and choir (children can wear school uniform if they have one).
The Rippa/Tackle rugby teams will be supplied with a uniform on the day.
Note: Touch rugby players to organise their own uniforms.

Sunhats in Term 4
All children must wear a sunhat when playing outdoors in Term 4 and Term 1. Please make sure your child has a hat at school at all times this term. A named hat to keep at school would be a great option.
It is also a good idea to have sunscreen in your child’s bag – the roll on types don’t tend to leak and are easy for children to apply. The office always has a pump bottle of sunscreen children or adults can use in terms 1 and 4 at any time. Teachers talk to the children about sun and water safety but parents and caregivers should be explaining why sunblock, hats and sunglasses are a good idea in the summer and how these protect us from too much sun.
Board of Trustees meeting
The next meeting for the Board is at 7pm on Wednesday 25th October in the Admin building and anyone is welcome to attend.
Road safety
Please slow down when driving around our school. We have a 40kph speed limit in the mornings and afternoons around the school and our crossing patrol monitors need you to be slow and vigilant to help them cross children safely over the road.
Congratulations
Well done to Ronan Watson who had his book review published in the latest Upstart magazine and also to Amelia Sievers who had a ‘Shout-out” published in the magazine too!
