SAFETY AT THE SCHOOL GATE: Park safely and keep our kids safe
This term our school is participating in Auckland Transport’s ‘Safety
at School Gate’ programme. Drivers who stop in the wrong place to
drop off passengers put the safety of children at risk. Parking Officers
will be on patrol outside the school this term and will be issuing
tickets to drivers who park illegally. The agreed approach is ‘zero
tolerance’. There will be no warnings issued, you will receive a ticket
if you are double parked, parked on yellow lines, or over someone’s
driveway – or for any other vehicle safety offence.
Please park legally and keep our children safe and to avoid being
ticketed.

First Tee Golf
Have you
awesome!
played
First
Room 5L's favourite sport
Tee
golf?
It's
Three weeks ago, I learned how to hold the
golf club. We had to hold it on the grip, I had
a try. Coach Kannel told us left hand, right
hand, feet together, left foot, right foot and
piggy pop.
Next coach Kannel told us the two golden
rules '' be safe and have fun''. I was excited
to do the warm up it was ''rob the nest''. I was
number 3. When it was my turn I went to the
other team and I had to grab one ball.
ST PATRICK’S
SCHOOL
We found out that Room 5L's,
favourite sport is Ice skating. 7
children likes Ice skating. We
found out that Room 5L's less
favourite sport is Golf and Rugby.
Only 2 children like these sports.
NEWSLETTER
Afterwards we played another game. I was in
Vaughan's team. It was my turn, and I tried to
hit the ball on the middle, but it didn't hit the
red line.
24 MARCH 2015
Coach Kennel asked what respect means
and Soane said ''respect means listening''
and coach Kennel said yes.
Finally we went back in the classroom and
our teacher said we had to write a story about
the golf.
