RELAY RACE AT HARVEY HADDON STADIUM

On Tuesday, twenty four Y5 and Y6s went to Harvey Hadden Stadium to compete in a thirty minute relay race. They performed spectacularly and the Y6 boys almost equalled our school record by running seventeen laps between them! The odds were stacked against us, with the extreme heat and sunshine, but they worked brilliantly as a team and cheered each other on until the end. Go Team Haydn!

A MESSAGE FROM MUMS FOR LUNGS – PARK SAFELY

By now, your best-laid plans to arrive at school early and prepared might have fallen apart in the usual morning chaos. However, if you don’t need to park close to school, parking a few minutes away might actually save you time. You’ll avoid the stress of searching for a space at drop-off and pick-up, as well as the awkwardness of parking where you shouldn’t.

Do you know what’s hard to spot? A platypus. Do you know who else can be hard to spot? A small child below the line of sight of your mirrors.

Please don’t turn or reverse outside the school entrances or near corners, and don’t park on zig-zags, double yellow lines, dropped kerbs, driveways or crossing points. Parked cars can block children’s view of traffic and drivers’ view of children. Please drive slowly, give priority to children and families walking, scooting or cycling and switch off your engine while waiting.

As our Parking Buddies say: show you care, park elsewhere!

Join Haydn’s Mums for Lungs group to help make the roads around school safer and the air cleaner. It's not just for mums! To find out more, please visit www.mumsforlungs.org.
