John McGlashan College
February has started with a hiss and a roar and we are already well into week four. School is gearing up for a full day of athletics this Friday, with two half days already under our belt; four Year 9 form classes have just completed the Central Otago Rail Trail (read our feature article for more information); tertiary providers have already started visiting senior classes, and Meet the Teacher night is this evening. No rest for the wicked!
Here is an insight into what has been happening in and around John McGlashan College over the past four weeks.
