Can I make a plea for parents not to make a U-turn in front of our school crossing on Greenhithe Road? Parents are still dropping children at the bus stop outside Barrie’s shed and then making a U-turn directly in front of the crossing. This is an accident waiting to happen. Our school road patrol constable will be visiting and observing over the next few weeks to ensure we have safety in this area. We do have a safe dropping off area in the lower carpark. I have included some messages below from children. They say things so much better than I can. Have a great fortnight. Regards Peter Marshall My name is Charlie and I am on Road Patrol on Greenhithe Road. This is a very busy road! It is a big responsibility to get people across to school safely. Some people are dropping their kids off at the bus stop and then u-turning right in front of the crossing. This is DANGEROUS! When you indicate to leave, I think you are driving up towards the village, but actually you are u-turning. If some cars are speeding down the road, they might crash in to you. It is also tricky for me to sometimes know what is happening! One day 3 cars were on the bus stop and the bus had to stop in the middle of the road to let people off. Next time, don't go parking on the bus stop to drop your kids off, instead go to the pick up and drop off zone on Sunnyview Road. Or drop them by Wainoni Heights and then they can walk the rest of the way and still cross safely at Isobel Road. Thanks –Charlie

The Mountain Bike Team is growing rapidly. The last two weeks we have had 11 kids and more parents have come along too. On Monday we did skills training at Collins park. Thanks to Elroy's Dad who brought along his practice ramps we did some balance training. If anyone else would like to join Girls, Boys and Parents are welcome. We are meeting at Collins Park again on Monday at 3:30pm. Here is a photo of us practicing our balancing: My contact is [email protected]

SPORTS CORNER

NETBALL/HOCKEY

Netball teams have been announced today. Your child should have a letter and a team list in their bag so keep an eye out for that. If your child has been placed in a team without a coach, can you please consider taking on this role.

Hockey teams will be announced next week. We desperately need two more Year 5 boys to fill a team, so if you are interested please email Stacey Griffiths our Hockey Coordinator [email protected]

SWIMMING

Last Thursday a team of 26 children participated in the Inter School Swimming sports at Coatesville School. Greenhithe School had an amazing day coming away for the third year in a row with Overall Best Performing School and with the Relay Cup. Congratulations to all of the children who competed – we are all so proud of you. I would also like to thank all the wonderful parents who helped on the day with transport/time keeping or recording. Here are the final results from the day and some photos.
