At the beginning of February we held our endorsement evening to recognise the considerable academic successes of our senior students. To gain an endorsement students must gain 50 or more credits at the level of the endorsement e.g. Merit or Excellence.

Our students have done it again! Over the course of one week, students and staff have raised $742 for Cyclone Gabrielle relief. This wouldn't have been possible without the generous support of Farmlands Fairlie and Bidfood Timaru. Senior students also donated the money they earned through a service activity in the local community. The funds have been sent directly to Puketapu School in the Hawkes Bay. The service captains chose this school as they are similar to us, a rural community that pull together in times of need. The school has been asked to use the funds in whatever way they see is best to support students and their families. Thank you to all of you who supported these efforts.

Mackenzie College has a history of outstanding student leaders, and 2023 is no different. After taking part in a tough application process, we are proud to announce the student leaders for this year.

Well done to our awesome boys' team and our Sports Coordinator, Kim Jordan for their success in the recent Coast to Coast.

Our Sports Coordinator, Kim Jordan, 1st place in the Women's Veteran Category in the Coast to Coast. Kim is an incredible role model for our students and a huge reason why Mackenzie College excels in this event.

We are incredibly proud to have two New Zealand representatives in our school. Congratulations, Jessica Ryall and Gracie Hellmrich, on your recent trip to Bulgaria.

What a fantastic Athletics day we had this year. The weather was beautiful and the students gave everything their best. Congratulations to the following:

At the beginning of the year, we held our peer support camp out at Lindisfarne. The students in attendance worked on their leadership skills and learnt how to be peer supporters. They even found some time to swim and create wacky desserts in the dessert challenge!
