On Friday, 18 October, we came together at school to celebrate our talented students at the Cultural Awards. It was wonderful to see how supportive the students were of one another as merit awards, honours awards, NZ National Representatives, and prize winners were announced. They are truly a special group of hardworking people and it has been a privilege to work with them this year.

Congratulations to everyone who received an award and thank you to the staff, friends, and whānau members who support our students in their endeavours. You all make our community a better place.
