The Steri-Needle team, who initially won the school Crocodile Pit competition earlier this year, went on to compete at the Innovation Awards at Fieldays last week. The team of Benjamin Allen (Year 13) and Jade Luxton (Year 13) competed in the Young Innovator of the Year and were awarded 'highly commended' by the judges. The Steri-Needle invention is a holster used to sterilise vaccination gun needles so farmers can hygienically vaccinate several animals. We look forward to seeing what's next for these two!

On Thursday 1 December, the School farewelled staff members Mr Kelvin Hogg and Whaea Anahia Noble. 

Mr Kelvin Hogg has served at St Paul's Collegiate School for over 19 years and we are very grateful for his teaching and pastoral care within Hamilton House during his tenure.

Whaea Anahia Noble is heading back to the University of Waikato to continue her studies. Anahia hopes to returns to St Paul's once she graduates in her academic goals.  

We wish them both all the best in their future endeavours.
