The Rugby Leaque Tournament which was being held today has been postponed until Thursday 14 April.
Message from the Public Bus Services as follows:
We have been advised by Ritchies, the operator of the 76 school bus service (Upper Riccarton Schools to Lincoln) that the bus picking up Kirkwood students heading to Lincoln has been very full in the afternoons.
There is some confusion about the nature of school bus services which might be helpful for you to be aware of. Rather than being provided as an alternative to the urban routes, the school services are provided to supplement the urban bus network in areas where public bus routes are being overwhelmed by demand from school students at the beginning and end of school hours. Students therefore have the choice between catching the school bus or the urban services.
For older more confident Kirkwood students the alternative urban bus to get them home is the #80 Lincoln bus. To catch this bus, Kirkwood students can cross at the pedestrian signals to Wharenui Road and catch the #80 Lincoln from the bus stop outside number 5 Wharenui Road.
Maps and timetables for this route are available at http://www.metroinfo.co.nz/
Uniforms – We are aware The Warehouse is running out of our popular sizes. Please do not worry about not wearing the correct uniform when you start school if you are unable to purchase the correct size. You are welcome to make do with other options until supplies have been replenished.
Orientation Packs – Please contact the office by phone or email if you have not received your Orientation Pack. Details on how to book your ‘meet the teacher’ interviews on Thursday 28 January or Friday 29 January are detailed in the pack. We look forward to meeting you all soon.
