Our Fun Colour Run on Friday was so much fun. Lots of smiling faces both of our tamariki and whānau who came to support. I'll leave it up to you to decide who enjoyed the paint the most, tamariki running through the paint clouds or our helpers throwing the powder! Our thank to all the helpers and organisers!

Our Marimba Band packed up marimbas and travelled to Tahuna Intermediate yesterday to take part in the Dunedin Marimba Jam with the Hot Potato Band. It was amazing. Check out the photo on page 5 of the Otago Daily Times this morning.

Continued treacherous road conditions (severe frosts) mean there will be a late start (10:00 am) for all Dunedin schools in the Greater Dunedin area, this includes Port Chalmers. Please don't send your children before 9:30 am as there will be no one at school. It is important that not only our children get to school safely but our staff need to travel safely as well.
