Important Notice - Road Works / Road Closure on Cobham Drive
J Swap Contractors have been contracted for the reconstruction of Cobham Drive from the start of Cobham Drive to Kowhai Ave. Works will start on Monday 31 October with a completion date of around the 15th Dec.
We have been advised that families will be unable to drop off or pick up their children from the Cobham Drive entrance for the duration of the works.

Gumboot Friday
Pop on your Gumboots and show your support.
This is a great opportunity to connect with each other, have that korero with the kids and make sure we are all doing well. Why wear gumboots? Having depression is like walking through mud every day. So we ask you to show your support, put your gumboots on and take a walk in their shoes for just one day.
