Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Dear Parents/Caregivers

This term for Envirogroup, Ignite, Launch and Discover will be working together to reuse some common household rubbish by transforming it into new and wonderful treasures.   We will be busy building, painting, decorating and planting.  

You can help by sending clean 2 litre plastic milk bottles with lids, 1 litre milk cartons, plastic fizzy drink bottles and fabric or ribbon scraps, buttons along to Launch.

Thanks,
Amy Blatch and Sara Ashby

Holidays

Brrr!!! A chilly walk in Arrowtown at -5 degrees this morning. Hope everyone has been keeping warm and doing lots of fun holiday activities.

We are looking forward to being back on Monday, still in the MPF, but hopefully lots more progress on our new building. We have two trainee teachers with us for five weeks, so make sure you say hello and welcome them into the Clarkville family.

Now is a good time to check whether you have enough stationery to begin the new term. Especially those pencils that keep disappearing with alarming rapidity.
