NOTICES:

KAIKOHE CAMPUS SCHOOL CARPARK:

Kia ora whanau ma.

I would like to ask for your help to make our carpark a safer place for our students at the beginning and end of the day by making your drop-offs and pick-ups at:

the curb / footpath on the school side of the road.

We are concerned because the carpark can become very busy at these times of the day and have had some close-calls in the past.

Thank you for your help. Nga mihi mahana

David Rogers
