John McGlashan College
There has been the distinct sound of 80s hair band music drifting around John McGlashan College, as our school gears up for its run of Rock of Ages: High School Edition. Our biennial major production is set to feature in our very own Davies Sports Centre this year, in what is to be an 'arena spectacular'. For more information and where to purchase tickets, check out our feature article.
Other highlights in this issue include the recent Sports Council Dinner, Associate Professor Yoram Barak's visit to a Year 13 History class, plus feature articles from the Science Department, Junior School, Gateway, and much more.
We hope you enjoy this issue.
Get ready to ROCK!
