Some of you may be aware that Rob was involved in a head on car accident on Saturday 10th September . While Rob heals from his injuries we will be working with reduced staffing levels, so we ask everyone to please be patient with us. Rob also has back surgery booked for early October and is expected to be off work for several weeks following this.
The past few weeks is a good reminder to us all to be extremely careful on the roads, to look out for each other and to be kind.
Thank you all for your understanding and patience.

Tamariki are at risk of getting very sick from the flu, and of passing it on to their whānau. Their best defence is to get a free flu jab.

* People aged 6 months to under 65 years with

If you are eligible for a FREE flu vaccine you can walk in to Talbot Park , 156 Otipua Road Timaru next week from Monday – Wednesday between 9.30am and 4.30pm – no appointment needed!
