Kia ora whānau,
With the wet weather this afternoon, pick‑up time is likely to be busier than usual. To help keep everyone safe, please take extra care around the school grounds.
A few important reminders:
-Do not park on yellow lines, in bus bays, or across driveways
-Check and double check when reversing and pulling out
-Keep pedestrian crossings clear at all times
-Hold hands when crossing roads
-Drive slowly and be patient—visibility is reduced in the rain
-Encourage children to use footpaths and crossings.
Your support helps us keep our tamariki safe, especially on days like today.
Thank you for your cooperation and for modelling safe behaviour for our students.
