The September High Achiever

Welcome to the September edition of the High Achiever to round out Term 3. We celebrate all of our Winter Tournament Week titles and achievements, along with all of the special work that has been going on in the classrooms, on the stages, and in the gyms and on the fields. We hope you enjoy our coverage of this month, and wish you a safe, relaxing and rejuvenating spring holiday.

Arohanui from the team in Publications.
