A friendly but firm reminder to our school community and wider whānau:

It is a legal requirement to stop for anyone waiting at a pedestrian crossing.

Please help us keep our tamariki safe — especially during busy school drop-off and pick-up times. Whether it’s rain or shine, drivers must stop when someone is clearly waiting to cross.

Let’s work together to model safe, respectful behaviour around our school. 🚦👣

To save more, match your power plan to your lifestyle. If you're home during the day, a 'time of use' plan could cut costs by using power during off-peak hours. Tailoring your plan to your routine helps keep more money in your pocket.
Head to the Electricity Authority’s website, where they offer free tools to help you compare and switch plans with ease. With so many New Zealanders already saving up to $400 a year, there’s no reason to wait. Smart power choices start here, and the benefits can last all year long.

Take charge of your electricity costs and see how much you could save today. You might just wonder why you didn’t switch sooner.
