TOGETHER WE CAN DO IT!!!
Our school is again taking part in the “Auckland City Council’s Chaos at the School Gate” programme. This is one way of working together to make our school a safe place for students and making sure that the local roads outside our school are safe for the wider community. We know you will want to help us in this.
Being in the ACC’s programme means that parking wardens will be assisting us by visiting our school regularly (from Week 2 this term) to monitor the drop off zone and parking around the school. They will be issuing infringement notices where appropriate. We as a school agree to keep our community informed about safe practices by communicating with school families about how they can help.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
You can help us keep the school environment safe by:
- taking care to observe parking signage. Please note that the ‘2 minute zone’ requires the driver to remain in the car.
- making sure that when pulling into the drop off zone you move to the end rather than stop at the top (this allows others to pull in safely behind you).
- moving into the traffic carefully and going around the block rather than doing a ‘u turn’ to travel south.
- ensuring you model safe road crossing by using the zebra crossing if parking opposite the school.
- making sure that if collecting children you do not double park and ask students to walk between cars to get into your car.
- parking outside the yellow lines bordering the crossing so that sight lines are clear for our crossing patrols.
- parking a little further away from school and walking the extra distance to remove traffic from our gates.
- dropping children in safe places and ensure they do not alight from cars parked in traffic queues outside the school.
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Yes, this extravaganza of talent development is taking place on Wednesday 30 June and Thursday 1 July. The students will find out this week which of their chosen workshops they have been placed in.
Earlier in the term, the students were surveyed to find out what talent they would like to explore/develop in a DOT workshop. This information was used by staff to determine exactly what they would offer the students.
The workshop leaders are planning fantastic opportunities from Being Spartacus, indulging in Football Fever, Having a Ball (the Venetian kind) and Broadcasting to the Nation. All the workshop blurbs are displayed in the library if you would like to have a look at them.
Some workshops plan to go off-site. These students will bring home a letter this week with information, request for parent help and a permission slip to return. Other workshops will also be making requests for materials and pairs of hands.
Encourage your children to dress “in role” for their workshop.
Annie Mills has a particular request…
‘I am looking for helpers who enjoy communication to help run the “Broadcast Yourself” workshop during the upcoming DOT Days. We will be using the Garage Band software programme to create pod casts. Experience with Garage Band is not essential, as long as you are reasonably confident with computers. I could use help on both days (June 30 and July 1) or for part of that time. If you are interested, please contact me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). Kia Ora!’
Please be in touch for more information by emailing .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or phone 6305144 ext 703
