John McGlashan College


Tēnā koutou katoa,

Spring has sprung, which means one thing, the JMC Fete is almost here.  Our fete is always one of the highlights of our school calendar and a great chance to connect with the McGlashan community.  

The end of this week is also a full one with school swimming sports on Friday morning and normal classes resuming in the afternoon. The last week of the term will be busy, with the House Haka competition, Year 10 Speech Final and Course Selection evening and afternoon sessions.  Enjoy the end of the term and have a well deserved holiday break! 

Ngā mihi.
