On Tuesday we had a group of students that represented the Rural Schools at the South Canterbury. They all performed extremely well and showed real HEART. Well done, especially to Carter Brewer who was placed 3rd in the Yr 8 boys.

The Cancer Society has a brilliant website full of great ideas about keeping your children sunsmart. http://www.sunsmartschools.co.nz/info/sunglasses is a great place to find information about appropriate sunglasses for children.
For those of you new to the school, we are a family friendly, child centred rural primary school for pupils in years 1 to 8 (ages 5 to about 13).

Children attend our school from a wide area in and around the immediate area to the west of Timaru. The school is served by several bus runs two of which serve the edge of Timaru City.
We have between 125 and 148 pupils - the roll varies as new entrants join us during the year.

So here are some tips for supporting your child’s development as a reader. Put as many of these things in place as you can, then relax! You’re doing your bit, and your child will respond.
