Our departing Year 13’s gathered to celebrate and reflect on their past five years at Tawa College on Wednesday 29th November. The evening saw our students laugh and cry over fond memories and the shared experiences that have shaped who they are and who they will become. We wish all our departing students the absolute best in their futures and thank them for their contribution to the Tawa College community.

Few people know that senior students can explore farming as a pathway while still at school, and gain qualifications while doing it!
