Over the holiday period, our school community is asked to keep a
neighbourly eye on the school. If you become aware of serious risk to
property please don't hesitate to contact the Police on 111. They will
prioritise needs and respond appropriately. For urgent, but more minor
damage to property, such as broken windows or glass, there will be
caretaking staff (Don 027 492 2471) on site week day mornings or I can
be contacted on 021 2433687.
The community is welcome to use the
school grounds responsibly over the holidays. Only swimming pool key
owners may access the pool.
Santa Parade
It was great to
see Cockle Bay School represented in Howick’s recent Santa Parade.
Thanks go to Sarah Laing for organising the event and to all who
participated. It was a fun occasion.
Year 4 Camp
There
were plenty of high jinks at the Year 4 Willow Park camp. Everyone was
in good spirits, enjoying the hot weather and fun activities.
