We are very lucky to have Lepperton Playcentre on the school grounds. Playcentre is an early childhood centre run by parents. They have sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays from 9am to 12pm. Contact Melissa for more information ph 02102443991 or visit their facebook page: Lepperton Playcentre


School Apparel

We have optional t-shirts ($22) and hoodies ($45), and compulsory bucket hats ($18), available to order from the school office.


Winter/Wet Days

Gumboots and slippers are a good combination on cold, wet days and greatly assist us in keeping the environment clean and tidy.



Library Bus

We are very lucky to have the Puke Ariki Library Bus visit us every second Wednesday (check the calendar for dates). To issue books children must have a Puke Ariki Library card.



Sun Hats

During terms 1 and 4 students are required to wear the school branded sun hat. We have a 'no hat, play in the shade' policy. Children who do not have a school bucket hat will have to stay under the shade of the trees during morning connect, lunch and afternoon connect.


Administering Medicine

If your child is unwell, they should be kept at home. If your child requires short term medicine to be administered at school, you must complete the Administering Medicine form at the office. All medicine must be handed in to the school office, not be kept in a child’s bag.

Swimming

At Lepperton we have our own swimming pool which we use for swimming lessons everyday in Term 1. The pool is available for use by the community in the summer months - a key can be obtained from the school office for a one off fee for the season.


Sports & Activities

We offer a wide range of sports and activities including (among other things) netball, soccer, basketball, hockey and touch rugby.

Lost Property

We encourage parents to name all of their child’s clothing. We have a lost property stand under the covered area by the playground that you are welcome to check for clothing items that your child may have lost. All named items will be returned. Unclaimed clothing is donated to a charity at the end of each term.
