To Samantha Toworai  for your efforts in  the garden.

There are still more weeds needing to be pulled if you have the time. Or want to get a bit of exercise moving mulch! J

Behaviour on the Bus

Unfortunately there has been some unacceptable behaviour from some children on the bus. Please remind your children that travelling on the bus is a privilege not a right. They must remain in their allocated seat, talk quietly only to the person beside them and not be eating or drinking. They must comply with any instructions given to them by the bus monitors or the driver. Any further behaviour which is deemed unsafe will result in that child being excluded from the bus. A seating plan will be coming home to families who use the buses, for your reference.

Congratulations to you both on these excellent achievements.
