The countdown to NCEA exams is on for our seniors, with only 4 days left of their academic year.

This year I enrolled in a Trades Academy. I attended the Civil Defence and Emergency Response Level 3 course, where I went away for four weeks in total throughout the year (one week at a time)

Our wonderful Attendance Officer, Marilyn Cook, broke all our hearts recently by announcing her retirement.

Last week the year 12 Biology students dissected plucks – hearts and lungs of sheep.

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce a new community group on the West Coast, Roller Coasters Inc.

Tell us what you think – to have cell phones at school or to ban them, that is the question.

For those preparing for end-of-year exams in NCEA Levels 1 to 3 English, Maths or Science, the StudyIt forums have reopened.
