Rakiura Adventures 2019

All students were fantastic and a real credit to their families. Big thank you to Miss Pearce, Mr Lousley, Mr Scoles and Mr Jenkinson for their help in making it such a a great way to finish term three. Next years booking has been made and it looks pretty exciting, with a change of venues inside the predator fenced area at Mamaku Point. It is the most densely populated area for brown kiwi in the world and has five private beaches!

Prizegiving 2019

Unfortunately the Lion Foundation is out of action this year at this time. The search to find another venue big enough to hold the school and parents (within our budget!) has proved unsuccessful. At this stage we may have a Year 7 prize giving earlier with a seperate Year 8 prize giving. That way we can still invite parents to participate and be there to see their child receiving awards.
