Greenpark School

Kia ora e te whānau,

Just a reminder with the wet weather we have had today, our after school routines will remain the same—all walking buses, school buses, and after-school pick-up arrangements will carry on as usual.

Please drive safe, follow the rules and give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination. Visibility is lower on wet days so take extra care. Please support our community by following all road and parking rules.

Please do not contact the school office to pass on messages or to change plans due to the weather. Stick to the plan and avoid confusion!

Ngā mihi for helping us keep our tamariki safe.
