John McGlashan College


The term is rocketing to a close, but not before we examine what's been happening over the past few weeks. Recently, we've had a visit from Ichikawa Gakuen High School, an Old Collegians Service, the St Andrew's Sports Exchange, and we've also welcomed a new Boarding Director, Mr Andrew Campbell. 

The last few weeks of term are busy with Summer Sports Week, Maadi Cup Rowing, Go McGlashan Read, auditions for our major production: Rock of Ages, Parent-Teacher Interviews, plus Easter and Anzac Services.  

A reminder  - you can keep up-to-date via our college website: https://www.mcglashan.school.nz/  and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/johnmcglashancollege/ 

Have a lovely and restful school holiday and see you back here at the start of next term.
