Welcome back to a brand new year at Provo Primary School. It was wonderful to see all the children keen and eager to begin the year with such a positive attitude.

Current improvements<\/strong><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span>Over the holidays there has been a succession of maintenance work taking place at school – some more visible than others – but including the replacement of rotten door frames and doors, re-routing gutters to prevent water lying on the ground, repairs to the Library and Junior Kindergarten roofs and walls, cleaning, tidying and clearance of broken and unwanted materials.<\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Kwatcha Holdings are also investigating the possibility of getting the school on City Water to ensure continued supply in case of a power cut. <\/span>All of these activities have helped to improve the environment for the children.<\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you to all who helped raise funds for the refurbishment of the Kindergarten and Junior Kindergarten rooms. They have been painted and had fans installed making a dramatic difference to both the look and the learning environment. Junior Kindergarten also had air conditioning installed.<\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Last week air conditioning has also been installed in 3 more classrooms (Kindergarten, Grade 2 and Grade 3). Two of these were due to extremely generous donations from parents. Thank you!! Grade 1 will have it installed this week making us a ‘fully air conditioned school’<\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span>We are continuing to work with Kwatcha Holdings to try to alleviate the congestion in the car park. Until a more permanent solution is agreed upon the following will help:<\/span>– <\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Staff are still using the far end of the car park to allow more <\/span>room for parents near the gate.<\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Whenever possible, drop off and leave as soon as you can.<\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n
