Shaded Area Upgrade
Wow! Our shaded and lunch eating area is certainly looking different. Work has begun on upgrading the shaded seating area. Thanks so much to the PTA who have led this project, including the funding. All of their hard work is paying off as the school will benefit from a far better structure and better seating. In the meantime please be aware of construction activity around the Harland Street gate.
New Basketball Hoop
Thank you to Anna Holland and the generosity of Basketball New Zealand for our new hoop that was recently installed. It has had a lot of use during the holidays and the last week of term. The hoop is located outside Room 10 and is very popular with everyone.
Mrs Gorman will be Back!
We look forward to Mrs Gorman returning on Thursday 19 October all going according to plan. In the meantime Mr Rob McDonald will be teaching in Room 11. Mr McDonald is a New Zealand teacher who has taught at Netherby School and is currently on leave from his Australian teaching position.
