Ex student passes away

Former All Black and Otago rugby icon Gary Seear passed away this week. Gary attended Tahuna in the early sixties. Mr Hunter actually played a couple of games with Gary at Southern in the late 70's. Gary was missed off the Tahuna Wall of Fame but we will get him added up there soon.

Tahuna Fundraiser 2018 - Sunday May 6th

We have been lucky enough to be chosen by Lions to be the recipient of the Taieri Gorge Fundraiser for this year. It is really important that we get great support for this opportunity so that we can supply resources in Science & Technology for current students and those to come.
