Back to School

Kia ora koutou

Freeville School will definitely be underway tomorrow Monday 13th September. School will start for all students at 9 a.m. as usual. There is a briefing for all all staff at 8 a.m.

I am sure that we are all ready to try to get back into our routines and restore some kind of normality to our lives.

Please remember that parents are welcome to gather in the library for a chat and a cup of tea or coffee after dropping their children to their classrooms.

On another note I have been away in Wellington over the weekend coaching the Canterbury Metro Primary Schools' U65kg rugby team. The concern from our hosts for the welfare of all Cantabrians was very genuine. Our experiences have certainly heightened the awareness of Wellingtonians in regard to their own earthquake preparedness. We found ourselves looking around with an 'earthquake aware eye,' pondering the strength of the central city buildings we were walking between.

Unfortunately the concern and hospitality of our hosts did not extend to the rugby field where we were taught a very harsh lesson, but one I am sure our boys will learn from.
