A reminder to return these participation forms by tomorrow to the school office for year 5/6 students who are wanting to participate in the Biorhythms teeth project. Forms were sent home last week after Sophie's visit with Hoiho and Kakapo's classrooms. This is a project being run from the Dental Faculty at the University of Otago.
Car Parking
When you are dropping off or collecting your children, please do not park over the neighbours' driveways as they cannot get out. Thank you.
Congratulations

Congratulations to the children who have qualified for this event next Monday at the Oamaru Racecourse. All children who qualified for the NOCC had received a note last week to take home. We need to know who will be attending this event so we do not miss any children entering their race.
Please ensure the children are at the race track between 3.30 and 3.45 pm to meet Mrs Asi who will give them their name labels and will be managing them. The North Otago course is held in the same area as our school course and is changed slightly. Parents must stay in the designated viewing area as they are not allowed on the course. There is to be no parking on the race track nor are dogs allowed.
First race starts at 4.00 pm.

Years 1-4 in the junior school are down to volunteer for the Parish Freezer. We would be very grateful if the families could kindly donate baking or cooked meal items before the end of term 3. the items can be baking or a main meal e.g. soups, casseroles, lasagna, muffins or biscuits etc. If you are in a position to contribute, thank you.
