The Nayland College Journalism Club is looking to profile some of the groups and organizations around the school, highlighting all the opportunities available at our school. Our first move in this purpose is to profile ourselves, in what can only be described as a slow descent into madness. Student Journalist Finn Kerby-Pinguet reports.

At the start of this term a number of our level 1 and level 2 music students had the amazing opportunity to have their original compositions played by professional musicians at a compositional workshop.

Check out what some of our talented students have created in the Year 10 Jewellery module!

Student Leaders are involved with the planning and presentation of many events and represent the school throughout the community. As some of the busiest and most well-known students at Nayland, one of their tasks is to be interrogated for the school newsletter. Some time ago we caught up with Jaxon Marshall. Next we’ll speak with Emma Barnes-Wetere of the student leaders. Student Journalist Finn Kerby-Pinguet interviews.

A group of very talented and creative students spent a lot of lockdown last year diligently working on embroidery projects to enter into a national competition. Year 9 students Ellie Beever, Serena Stanton Clark and Millie MacBrayne all did exceptionally well in the competition with Ellie taking first place for her piece 'There's no place like home.'

Today we profile another one of our 2021 teaching recruits Lauren Prestidge, a familiar face who has returned to Nayland College after Covid cut her OE short. While we're sad for Lauren that she didn't get the length of time overseas that she had hoped for, we're so glad to have her back at Nayland!

Pūaha Te Tai have been practicing hard, hoping to improve on their outstanding results from last year. Head along to the Trafalgar Centre in time for their 2:25pm performance tomorrow (Saturday 7 August) to show your support. We're expecting to once again be blown away by the quality of their performance, this year in their brand new piupiu.
