Our Year 12 Art students had the privilege of a trip to the Auckland Art Gallery at the beginning of the term. They were able to meet Reuben Patterson, a well known New Zealand artist, who took them through a practical workshop. which was engaging and fun.

- blankets or linens
- toiletries
- warm clothing or winter essentials
Please drop all donations to: Abbie Thalari – T4

Thank you for supporting this incredibly worthwhile kaupapa and helping our students see how their skills and efforts can positively impact others in our community.

On Friday, under perfect conditions, we held our annual school Cross Country Championships. Using the same course introduced last year, students raced across school sports fields, farm land, gravel driveways, netball courts, riverside paths, and public footpaths along the challenging 2.4km course.

Participation was outstanding in the compulsory Year 7-10 races, and a large contingent of senior students took part in the optional two-lap event during period 5. Congratulations to all race winners, and well done to every student who stepped up to the challenge and completed the course.

A huge thank you to our property team for preparing the track, our sports staff, sports prefects and council members led by Mary Ingham, and our teachers and L2PE1 students for their support, encouragement, and organisation throughout the day.
