John McGlashan College
Tēna koutou and welcome to the first issue of The Pilkington Press for the new school year.
This is a special time in the history of our school. At the end of the week, we celebrate 100 years of quality education for young men at John McGlashan College. Our centenary is gearing up to be a fabulous event, and we look forward to celebrating it in the next issue of The Pilkington Press.
Be sure to read Mr Veitch's article (A busy start to 2018), so that you are informed of the important events over the next couple of weeks.
