The Penultimate Week

 

We come to the end of the penultimate week of the year with the College in good spirits.
We are preparing for the Years 9 and 10 prizegivings on Thursday and Friday next week in Period 1. We welcome back all the Year 10 students from their camp at Coromandel. Many shared experiences of fun and challenges to grow their personal capacity. Many thanks to all the staff who gave their time and energy for these camps to occur. And that of our generous past pupils who ensured this camp experience occurred for some students who were supported financially to ensure they could attend. Many thanks.
Events completed and upcoming are;

  • NCEA externals now complete
  • Year 10 camps now complete
  • Junior sports competitions now complete
  • Year 9 Prize Giving on Thursday, 7th Dec pd 1
  • Year 10 Prizegiving on Friday, 8th Dec pd 1
  • The Big Day In on Tuesday, 12th Dec


The opportunity to complete such a solid year with Terms 3 & 4 being focussed on uninterrupted learning has been very satisfying.
Enjoy the opportunities of this last full week.
