School Notices

On Saturday 17th April a community work day has been organised to weed, clear and tidy up the gully.
It would be great if you could come along and help – half an hour or a whole morning, whatever time you can spare would be welcomed by John Lockley the co-ordinator of the gully project.

John says “bring 'strong shoes, a spade and morning tea”.  The plan is to meet at the top of the gully at 9.30am. Enter Boys’ High School via Argyle St then follow the driveway around to the right till you get to the gully sign.

People will need strong shoes, a spade, morning tea and a willingness to make a difference in the Gully environment for the long term.  This is part of an ongoing project to develop an outdoor classroom for use by the boys of the school,
If you are interested please come along on the day. John Lockley can be contacted on 027 274 2193
