CARNIVAL

There is much excitement about tomorrow night’s Carnival. Ticket sales have gone extremely well and they are now sold out. While it may seem simple to continue selling, there are a number of limitations in terms of the safety regulations.

There will be plenty of security patrolling in the streets surrounding the school, but parking will be limited, so please consider Uber as an alternative. If you do park, please be considerate to our neighbours – no blocking driveways, parking anyone in, etc.

Please note that no tickets will be sold at the gate. Entry will be with the wrist band only.

SUBWAY

In September, we were assured that the subway going under Campground Road would soon be ready for use. However, it was then discovered that the submersible pump in the subway had actually been stolen. Then followed constant follow up with two Ward Councillors – Campground Road is a boundary between two wards - and they have been very helpful. But making the subway usable again has involved three to four departments in the City Council so that co-ordination and implementation has proceeded in fits and starts, not assisted by sporadic rain. But the electrics have been re-done, a new pump installed and it is clear of water. And we can use it as of today!  It still needs  serious cleaning and the lights re-connected. Thank you for your patience – it has been enormously inconvenient and stressful for all of us – especially staff walking the boys to sport.

HAIR

I spoke to the boys in assembly on Monday about ensuring that their hair is neat and tidy. Most will need a haircut now – four weeks from the end of term – so that their haircut remains appropriate right until then. No-one wants to have a school haircut in the second last week of term. Please also assist us by ensuring that your son does comb/brush his hair and that it is neat before leaving home. A number of boys are arriving clearly having done nothing to their hair since waking up.

Best wishes
