School Banner

School Banner missing, again. FYI it's not a rainbow flag, if that's why you took it!

The colorful banner (purple, blue, red, yellow, pink, turquoise, green- Photo on the Blog and the FB page) in front of the school was made from material which was donated by Mary Gooding and is meant as a colorful reminder for motorists to slow down and keep our students safe. 

It was attached to the base, so someone had to deliberately yank it out. It is upsetting that someone in this community would repeatedly vandalise school property. I can only assume that those who have repeatedly removed the banner did so because they think it is a rainbow flag, which it is not! So, to the individual(s) who over the past months have numerous times removed the banner, thrown it into the bushes, moved the whole stand in front of the door, or now took it away, please return it.

The Thetis island Elementary school students and staff will be thankful.

Accommodation Search

My partner and I are seeking accommodation on Thetis for 2-6 people for a period of 2-4 weeks. We are looking for some time in between July 15 to August 15 ideally. 

We are open to renting for a full month if the price is reasonable. We have been holidaying on Thetis for the past 40+ years and will be very sad if we need to go elsewhere. 

Thank you!
