John McGlashan College
Nga mihi nui ki a koutou katoa, warm greetings to you all.
We have had a very busy term thus far, with Winter Tournament, our major production Rock of Ages: High School Edition, and Tournament of Minds to name but a few.
This week I.B practice exams have begun, and Swimming Sports are being held at Moana Pool on Friday. Now that spring has sprung, our college is also gearing up towards our annual Fête and Senior College Sunday Service at the end of week 9. We look forward to celebrating these wonderful college events with you.
Ka kite anō, see you again next term for our second-to-last issue for 2017.
