LUNCHES We are becoming concerned about the amount of junk food starting to appear in lunchboxes again. We are a health promoting school and Twisties, Rashuns and large tubes of Pringles do not fit that policy. Small packets of plain chippies or crackers are OK. (in reusable bags or containers of course). NITS !!!!!! These nasty little beasties are doing the rounds again. Please check your child’s hair thoroughly and treat them as required. DUFFY ASSEMBLY We had a fun assembly on Monday with NZ singer songwriter and children's book author Kath Bee.
