On Saturday, May 8 the Pasifika group travelled to the Claudelands Events Centre in Hamilton to perform at the very last "Pasifika By Nature". This event is a good chance for secondary school students from around the BOP and Waikato region to come together and celebrate their Pacific heritage by performing a range of dances from all around the Pacific.

In May both Year 11 Innovative Horticulture classes visited Kings Seeds.

To give you some advance warning, we would like to advise that there will be an MOE NCEA teacher only day on Wednesday, August 11.
