Kia ora whānau,
It’s happening … next week … the construction of our new playground
funded by our PTA, the Rātā Foundation and St Albans School Board of
Trustees begins. We anticipate this to be a four week project.
Important Health and Safety Information: Access to school from
Westminster Street will be closed for the duration of the construction. Please use either
the entrance via English Park or come around to Sheppard Place.
Child Safety
We want to focus on child safety in today’s newsletter. As in past communications one of
the recommendations we like to share is setting up a unique safety code word that your
child knows well. Parents can use this if they need to send another adult to pick up their
child for some reason. Children are told that they should never go with an adult, either a
stranger or someone they know, unless that person knows the safety code word. Please
talk to your children about what to do if they are ever in a situation as awful as this.
Incorrect Use of Mobility Parks
We have experienced an increase in the demand for mobility car parks by
permit holders. Mobility parks are located in the English Park carpark on
Sheppard Place. These must strictly be used by permit holders only. If
you see someone misusing these parks please do not confront them,
simply use the app and report them:
https://ccsdisabilityaction.org.nz/mobility-parking/access-aware/
Playground Equipment for a Good Home
We have a collection of climbing
frames, ladders and bars available for
a good home within the community.
Available for a donation $ (towards
new equipment). If you are
interested in this offer, it is a first in,
first served basis. You must be able to
remove the equipment from the site
by 8am Monday 3rd August. Please
contact the office on 355 9132.
