John McGlashan College
Tēnā koutou and welcome to this winter instalment of The Pilkington Press. We are rollicking towards the end of the term, and both students and staff are looking forward to a well-deserved break at the end of next week.
We have some great articles in this issue, including a focus on the P.E department, a recap on the recent John McGlashan Senior Formal, the STAC Winter Exchange in Christchurch, and a fantastic article from Mrs Smith in Learning Support - about the positives of asking for help.
Ngā mihi.
