A message from Kimberley

As we reach the end of a term, like no other, any of us have experienced, a big thank you needs to go out to everyone for their hard work, support, trust and patience at a really unprecedented time.

Please enjoy a really relaxing two week break, enjoy the holidays and each other, and reflect on how fortunate we are, where we can actually have a holiday, in a country as beautiful as ours, without restrictions.

I look forward to seeing you all next term.

Keep safe

Kimberley

IMPORTANT REMINDER

We are seeing some dangerous pick up and drops off’s of students and illegal parking in the streets around our school. Parking on yellow lines and the berm on the corners of Emmett Street and Greerton Road can result in a $60 fine. There is more parking available on Pooles Road which is just around the corner from the school. Please help keep our tamariki safe.

Exciting news

Greerton Village Bike and Pump Track

A new asphalt bike and pump track is going to be built over the holidays within the school grounds. BOP Asphalt will be constructing the track in conjunction with pump track designers, Paul and Peter (Cambridge Rd BMX track developers). The track will circle the back field and venture up into the native bush area where it will combine with a pump track. The main track will include a small challenge course designed to improve balance and confidence. The purpose of the track is to promote skill development, balance, fitness, road awareness and safety issues.

This Friday, Todd and Pollock will lift a 40ft bike shed (Built by Sea Containers) into place behind the basketball court at about 9.00am.

The track project was made possible with major funding coming from Bikes.Org – a Government funded organisation set up to promote the development of bike tracks in schools and also funding from a private donor. We want to thank BOP Asphalt for managing and constructing the project at a substantially reduced cost, Todd and Pollock for providing a crane free of charge and Kel from the Port for organising this!

We are all looking forward to an exciting ride!!!
