Battle of the Bibliophiles (BOB)

BOB will run from Friday 20 October to Friday 27 October. Students will have 1 1/2hrs uninterrupted time and up to 2hrs with explanations. The students will need to answer three sessions online. The sessions will be two from 12 selected books and one from Britannica school. Our 2023 Battle of the Bibliophiles (BOB) teams have been practicing in the Library every week. They will battle against 51 other teams around other High Schools in New Zealand in Term 4.

Spelling Bee

Spelling Bee students are practicing regularly in the library. They do written and verbal tests in their semi-final. The written test will contain 20 words, 10 from the 2023 Aotearoa New Zealand Spelling Bee Semi-Final Wordlist and 10 unseen words. The semi-final will be held in Christchurch, Tuesday 5 September, from 4pm-6pm (provisional finish time) at Philip Carter Family Auditorium, Christchurch Art Gallery.

Love for Knitting

Mrs Cecelia Jardine King and Miss Jocelyn Rattray have changed the knitting sessions to Friday lunchtimes. Students enjoy knitting and crocheting, along with other activities in the library.  Some students are inspired to make it a hobby. If you have any knitting needles, crochet needles or wool sitting around at home please bring these along.
