Electives - do you have ...?

One of the electives starting today (Monday) is 'fort building'. So Kalesha is chasing after old sheets and towels and big cardboard boxes (broken down for ease of storage). If you can help it would be very greatly appreciated.

Gardening Club 

In term 4, our keen gardeners will be planting some summer vegetables. If you have any excess seeds, leftover plants or self-seeded vegetables/flowers growing in your garden, we would love to plant/replant these in our school garden. 

We garden on a Friday and any donations of items could be dropped with Gemma in Te Rito. Thank you. 

Head Lice 

It looks as though head lice maybe making a return yet again.

I refer you to a previous article on the subject which covers the identification and treatment. Please read it and take the necessary action.
