Dogs in and around school grounds<\/h3>A reminder that no dogs should be on the grounds during school hours, unless by prior arrangement. Please ensure ALL dogs are on a leash when dropping off and picking up children as some people are not comfortable around dogs, and this keeps everyone safe.

Do you, or your neighbours, have someone turning 5 next year?<\/h3>
We need to get all enrolments for 2023 in, ideally by the end of next week, so that we can ensure that we have been given enough staffing for the year from the Ministry of Education. We have the opportunity to apply for a review in early November, if we think we have been under-staffed.<\/div>
PLEASE contact Jacky or Reihana in the office<\/a> for an enrolment form, or download one from our website<\/a>.<\/div>
