On Week 3, our school will be taking part in Road Safety Week: 

An important initiative to help students learn how to stay safe on and around roads. Throughout the week, students will take part in fun activities and discussions focused on safe walking, cycling, and travelling in cars. We encourage whānau to reinforce these messages at home and to help model safe behaviour during school drop-off and pick-up times. 

As part of the week, Thursday 15th May will be "Wear Yellow Day"—students may wear yellow or other bright colours to raise awareness about the importance of being visible, especially at night. This is a fun way to highlight how wearing bright clothing can help keep us safe near roads. An average of seven people are killed every week on NZ roads. Seven families are left with the devastating consequences of road crashes.

If you wish, you can donate to Brake here to help prevent these deaths and support people who have been bereaved and injured.
