It has been a term that we won't forget. 8 weeks of term one, then lockdown, school holidays brought forward and then a 12-week term. Read on to see our highlights.

It does seem a little like term 1 and 2 have been one continuous term, and this is reflected in some students reflecting on the Waipara camp as a highlight. There have been plenty more highlights, and we would like to share them with you.
