Walking School Bus Update
Submitted by David F on Tue, 18/08/2009 - 17:28.Walking School Bus
I would like to thank Skaterz for such a wonderful afternoonon Friday 14th.
There were 35 people (including mums and dads) who turned up. That is 95% of the walking school bus participants. 
The students had such a great time, most of them didn't believe it was time to go. There was lots of falling over but thankfully there were no tears. The youngest at age 3 got the skates on and so did a couple of mums who were determined to try and keep up with their children. Anyone interested in joining the walking school bus can download forms from the ENPS website or go to the office. The weather is fantastic now for walking to school and what a better way to keep fit at the same time. Anyone joining up now will be in for a surprise in Term 4!!!!
