John McGlashan College
It has been another very busy month in and around John McGlashan College. Highlights include the Ichikawa visit; Waihi Sports Exchange; Otago Secondary School Athletics; Easter Service; various subject field trips; and a visit from some famous rally drivers.
This last week of the term has featured Parent-Teacher interviews, the ANZAC service, and a large group of students, teachers, and parents, leaving on their two-week Vietnam trip this afternoon. We wish this group all the best for their exciting travels.

Happy Holidays and see you next term.
