The way we come to school	Starting from week 3 the school will be running a challenge that encourages children to use sustainable modes of travel to school. Each morning the children will record how they travelled to school. If they walked, scootered, cycled or used public transport they will earn their class a WOW! The class with the most WOWs will win a trophy at assembly. If you live too far away to allow your child to walk, scooter or bike, then you can drop them on the corner of O'Halloran and Juliet or Angelo and Willoughby. This will count as a walking WOW. Please encourage your children to take part by earning their class lots of WOWs! This will help to decongest Willoughby Ave and keep our children safe. To keep your child safe please: make sure students that are cycling or scootering wear a secure helmet. ensure an adult accompanies Junior school students. take home Junior school bikes and scooters before school starts ensure your child walks once you reach the school gate ensure Senior school students walk their bike or scooter to the racks, which are behind room 7.   The school is not responsible for any damage or loss.
Staff Training	On Tuesday 8th August 2017 the school office and all classrooms will be locked until approximately 8:40 am for staff training.  Cloak bays will be open for students to drop their bags in.
