As the 2023 school year comes to an end, there is much to be thankful for, and while this year has not been without its challenges and frustrations, it is our fantastic students who continue to impress us with their resilience and good humour.

We are now in the Advent season and our prayerful preparation for Christmas has begun.

This morning year 10 students went to see the Pounamu Pathway Māwhera Experience building which is about to open. The director told us of the exhibition and shop, and the lighting that was being installed. We are very excited to visit with school groups!

Next year's Year 9's had an opportunity to make a rice ball with either a smiley face, a cat or a panda.

The uniform shop will be open from Monday 22nd January 2024.

Monday 11th and Tuesday 12th December are junior service days (one and a half days). These days are at the start of next week, week 10 of term 4. These days are set aside so that students can give service at home and in the community where voluntary assistance is needed. They find their own ways to give of their time and skills in the service of others.
