End of Term

Have a wonderful two week break and I will see everyone back at school on the 13th October. (Remember pet day is the first Friday back which is a half day for the students)

We didn't get to do this today so we will go and do our part of Keep Carterton Beautiful from 12:35 to 1:30 tomorrow.  We will be picking up rubbish around the Kent Street area.  Come along and help if you are free. 

Tomorrow we have our end of term celebration (Celebrating the positive behaviour at Carterton school) which is an extra long playtime and this will start at 1:30 and finish at 2.

Good luck to Ethan, Leana, William and Ashley who are going to the technology challenge tomorrow.
