The annual school Athletics Day was held last Wednesday and was a real success. After having an adapted House Day in 2022, due to Covid 19, it was great to be back at the Caledonian for a full day of competition, house spirit, and fun.

We started the year with a trip to the Physiology Department at the University of Otago, where we investigated how the human body responds to exercise.

It was with great excitement that we are able to once again fully interact with the preschool children.

Our Year 10 Food Technology classes were fortunate to have chef Tony Heptinstall to demonstrate safe knife skills in the making of a poke bowl with chicken, fresh vegetables and chilli sauce.

Dear Runners: Please stop apologising for being ‘slow’. Remember you are lapping everyone on the couch.

This week the class visited Otago University's School of Physical Education. Here they experienced first hand some of the sport science equipment.

Navigating the ever-expanding world of work and careers is becoming increasingly complex for our rangatahi/young people. No longer do we tend to choose one career and stick to it, it is now much more common to have multiple changes in job, as well as career direction. The term ‘Squiggly Career’ (book by Helen Tupper and Sarah Ellis) is a good way to describe it, as opposed to linear.

This is a reminder for students and whānau about some of the procedures around the school.

The Board use SchoolDocs as a way of managing all our policies and procedures, what this means for you as a parent is that you can access all our policies and procedures from home, and periodically throughout the year you may receive notifications asking for your feedback. It would be great if you could take a few minutes to give us your feedback as it all helps shape how we want to be as a school.
