Our creek fence is being upgraded over the next few weeks. This means that we will have fencers working on the property. Most of the area North of the Rangitata block and along the length of the playing field on the North side is temporarly fenced and out of bounds. This starts from the main vehicle entrance to the playground. Please note that this vehicle and pedestrian entrance from Halstead Road will not be accessible while the work is happening. It has a yellow caution banner across it. Please use other gates for the next couple of weeks. Thank you for your support with this.

Weekly Round-Up Up Week 3
This week the Yr 7/8 students took part in the Weston Sports Interchange. The day ran smoothly and the kids had a great time. This year Point Primary came out victorious! We look forward to next year and doing it all over again. A big thanks to Miss Gaskin for all your organisation making this happen.

Our savouries from the fundraiser got delivered this week. We were able to raise $1,606 for the school through this. A massive thank you to the parents who at the last minute came in to help organise all the orders and get them to the right place. A special shout out to Rochelle Hastie who not only helped out with this but also cooked the sausage sizzle prior. What an amazing community we have.

Next Friday we will be participating in Pink Shirt Day. Kids can come to school wearing pink and raise awareness for this great cause. - Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying
