John McGlashan College
The start of a new year and a new name to boot! We welcome in 2017 at John McGlashan College with a 're-branding' of this e-Newsletter. "The Pilkington Press" is a fitting tribute to the beautiful street our school is located on.
The first four weeks of this term have been busy ones. Highlights include the Year 9 Rail Trail, Athletics days, Rowing Regatta, I.B Top Scholars Awards, and a Waihi Exchange. Lots for you to digest.
We hope you enjoy this issue.
