John McGlashan College


The John McGlashan College Fete is always a highlight of our social calendar every year and is the feature article of this issue. The day was a huge success and is a credit to the hard work put in by parents, teachers, and students. Check out the fete photos at the bottom of the feature article.

We seem to be speeding through Term 4 and there are a lot of events coming up. Senior Prizegiving is next Friday, in the Davies Sports Centre, then we move into senior externals, junior exams, Year 10 camps, and Arts week. There will be one more issue of our JMC e-Newsletter before the year is out, until then, keep well and enjoy reading this issue.
