Lingarth Street walking school bus
We would love to hear from families interested in joining the Lingarth Street walking school bus. Please get in touch. It’s a great way to meet local families and walking to school is a great way to start the day! It runs mornings only (can look at afternoons if there is enough interest).
The route: Starts at the corner of Ross and Lingarth Sts at 8am. Walks along Lingarth, crosses over Manawa Rd and walks the bottom of Martin Wilson Field to the bottom of Sonia Ave. Walks up Sonia Ave and uses the pedestrian crossing opposite Baradene to safely cross. This route means there is only one major/busy road (Manawa) that we cross.
Parents are asked to walk once a week to support the bus.
Please contact Paige [email protected] or 021996844.
Please be considerate of our neighbours
One of our Stirling Street neighbours contacted us about school caregivers constantly parking their cars and blocking their driveway at school pick up time. The neighbour was very gracious and has accepted this behaviour for a long time but has finally decided to raise the matter which has become abuse.
PLEASE be courteous and considerate of our neighbours’ properties.
