SCHOOL BUS DRIVER NEEDED

Job-share. Easy hours. Friendly kids.
Pukekohe East School is seeking a part-time bus driver to job-share with another driver. The lucky person will need to have or get the appropriate licences.
Bus driver hours are Monday to Friday during term time, from 8am to 9am in the morning, and in the afternoon from 3pm to 4pm, plus occasional day excursions. This is a job-share position; one driver might choose to work mornings and the other in the afternoons, or they might work alternate days. Please phone the school office 238 8708 if you are interested in the job-share bus driver position.
In today’s Franklin County News there is a lovely article about Judy. She shares fond memories of children push-starting the bus, and lambs, goats, chickens and dogs traveling on her bus to Pet Day. Full article below.
Franklin County News 23 May 2013
We survived. All 24 parents who braved the zombie-infested Run For Your Freak’n Life crossed the finish line alive and muddy. Thank you to the courageous parents who took part in the fun fundraiser, and to Spookers for supporting our school bus.
Here is the ‘before shot’ of our group. Clean, dry and none the wiser.
Dressed as escaped convicts, we shared laughs and screams in very muddy conditions.
Each parent had a flag belt with four flag ‘lives’. We ran 5km against the clock, tackled 13 course obstacles that got us climbing, crawling and jumping, all the while evading scary zombies who tried to steal our flags. Like ripper rugby only much muddier.
Held at Spookers, the course included parts of the Kingseat grounds, Spookers Freaky Forest, and areas of neglected zombie-infested paddocks, scrub and swamp.
Three of our team placed in the top 10. Shane Spackman came 4th, Greg Ward was 5th and Nicole Fricker 6th. WOW.
