Term two ended with an icy blast but we have managed lots of winter fun with after school sport, Matariki week and the Dunedin mid-winter carnival. The weather has been superb, allowing us to spend significant amounts of time outdoors. Rugby balls on the field, rip-sticks and ponies on the court, open air play kitchens and lunch in the sun. Winter bugs seem to have been fewer and absences have been minimal for this time of year. The Board of Trustees has finalised funding for stage one of the playground development, this will enable us to build the rebound wall, fencing the court and new sand-pit, bank removal and stage area, asphalt of the pathway to the court and garage. We are hopeful this will begin this year.
The Seacliff Market is to relocate to Warrington School, it will continue to be run in the same manner; first Sunday of each month, 11am - 2pm, low-key and friendly. The senior students are hoping to run a Fair Trade cafe from the Ubuntu kitchen and there is support from previous and prospective stall holders.
Aart Brusse’s music tuition has taken off with 2 trumpets, 2 clarinets and a feast of recorders all being learnt. Pony club continues to be a hit with students with visits by local ponies for an end of term session.
