LYNMORE SCHOOL BRINGS HOME THE TROPHIES! FROM THE PRINCIPAL ... We hope everyone has had a great week. Autumn is definitely here with the trees full of colour and the cooler temperatures.

The EPro8 Challenge is the inter-school science and engineering competition. Every year over 10,000 students from 800 schools throughout New Zealand take part. Students took part in a series of competitions and events designed to promote science and engineering. A thank you to Mr Martelli and the senior teachers who helped prepare the students for this event. Whip, Grip, Rip: A huge congratulations to all those students who participated in the Whip, Grip and Rip mountain biking event on Tuesday. There were three races (A taster of mountain biking, Let me fly, and Legend Status). Only Legend Status took placings for students because the focus for the other two was participation. Legend Status results: Year 5 and 6 girls: 1st Georgia, 2nd Cate, 3rd Ceara Year 5 and 6 boys: 1st Matthew, 2nd Nathan, 3rd Lachlan There was also a mixed relay team consisting of Matthew, Georgia and Nathan.

Thank you to Whaea Catherine, Whaea Cherie, Whaea Lisa, Mrs Barker, Mr Martelli and Mr Doyle for supporting our students on the day.

Sponsor the Fence - Update We are replacing the sports surface (AstroTurf) and the surrounding fencing, both are over 20 years old. The combined cost of replacement of both is around $170k. We need to raise around $55k to enable us to complete the entire project including: · Removing some of the trees that drop leaves onto the AstroTurf along side Te Ngae Road. · Replacing the fence Once the new fencing is place and some of the obscuring trees removed, the two sides marked below have a great advertising opportunity along Te Ngae Road and Iles Road. We are therefore selling the option of an advertising space along the new fencing around the AstroTurf. Costs for advertising signage for a 2 year timeframe are as follows: Te Ngae Road side: Per 1.5 x 750 advertising space Sites 2 SOLD! Iles Road side: Per 1.5 x 1 metre advertising space Sites 5 Sold! ¨ Spaces are limited to a first in first served basis. ¨ Only one advert per field of business will be taken e.g. one real estate, one plumber, etc. ¨ Timeslot is for 2 years and then the signage will be taken down and replaced with new purchases ¨ You can purchase more than 1.8 x metre space for your advert. ¨ The school will produce the sign based on the graphics and words you send to us. Te Ngae Road – 24 x advertising spaces available @ $2,200 plus GST each Iles Road – 9 x advertising spaces available @ $1.500 plus GST each To book your space (before they all go) email: [email protected] A big thank you to the businesses that are Many thanks supporting us to date - some of the signage is up yay!
