And the rain continues to fall! It certainly has been a very soggy couple of weeks and this has affected lots of different events in the school. In particular it has meant that we haven’t been able to run our athletic sports. With the South Canterbury Athletic Sports due next week (weather dependent!) we’ve been frantically trying to run championship like events here at school in a quest to select a Gleniti team to go the South Canterbury events. Nic Parmenter has been running this, but the weather has been very frustrating!

Keep an eye out for our School Transport Travel display tomorrow. Jane Sullivan, School Travel Plan Coordinator from Community & Public Health, is setting up a display outside the admin area early tomorrow afternoon. We have two $50 Prezzy cards as prizes to get everyone involved. There’s a quiz for people to fill in to help you “interact” with the display that is specifically designed to get parents and whanau talking about how we all transport our children to and from school. It’ll be well worth your time to take a look!

The end of the year seems to be careering towards us at an unbelievable speed. There’s always so much to do and finalise in these last few weeks. Some key dates to put in your diary as we head into the final straight!

· Year 8 Leavers Dinner at Sopheeze on the Bay on Monday 10th December

· Our End of Year Celebration will be held at the South Canterbury Events Centre on Morgans Road from 6:30pm on Monday 17th December

· School closes for the 2018 year at 12pm on Tuesday 18th December

· School begins for 2019 on Tuesday 29th January
