John McGlashan College
At at the end of this week we celebrate the successes of senior students with Senior Prize Giving. This is always a very happy and prestigious occasion and this year we move venues, from the Chapel to the Davies Sports Centre. Year 13 students will be farewelled later in the term at the Annual Leavers Dinner, which is always a fantastic evening. Best wishes to all students leaving the college at the end of 2015, we trust you have many happy and fond memories of your time spent here at John McGlashan College.
As well as senior students studying for I.B and NCEA exams, year 10 students completed exams last week and year 9 students go into exams at the start of next week. We wish all students sitting exams the best of luck.
Until next time, we hope you enjoy this instalment of the JMC e-Newsletter.
