Spring is slowly beginning to creep into our days. You can certainly see it and smell it around Cherrington at the moment. Soon all the cherry trees around the Chapel will be bursting into bloom. I’ve also noticed that when I wake up in the morning and leave school in the evening the sky is not so dark and I know that it will be getting lighter as each day arrives throughout the term.

Please refer to the website's online calendar for other important dates and the most up-to-date information.

On a foggy Waikato morning, our Toshimagaoka students arrived from Tokyo, Japan. We are fortunate to have a long-standing relationship with Toshi (the first group attended in 1990). The students were formally welcomed into our school with a pōwhiri followed by morning tea with their Dio buddies. Konnichiwa!

Welcome to Term 3! We are now well over halfway through the year, which means sport in Term 3 is back in its usual hustle and bustle.
