‘He iti te kōpara ka rērere i te puhi o te kahikatea’

We have now reached the end of our school year.  The seniors have finished their NCEA examinations and can expect their results in the third week of January.  Since the seniors left our Year 9 and 10 students have had their own school assessments and their results and report comments are now available on the portal. The juniors have also been involved in their own comprehensive programme which included three-day discovery. Students had the opportunity to try a wide range of different experiences which included: being tourists in Rotorua, tramping in the Queen Charlotte Sounds, learning to surf, gathering kai and learning how to cook it, ethnic cuisine, clay sculptures, sports at the ASB centre and soap making.  There was something for everyone.

We recently held our junior prize giving for our premier award winners.  Many students also received recognition for their efforts and contribution to the school at several other events held earlier. Our main academic award winners for this year were:

Top Academic Achiever Year 9: Ella Pan

Year 9  Runner Up: Abby Sangwine and Nayomi Thiagarajah

Top Academic Achiever Year 10: Rosie Meyer

Year 10 Runner Up: Anush Goel and Molly Zhou
