Kia ora koutou
Today marked the final day for our Year 13 students, and although we could not farewell them with our traditional Leavers Dinner and Senior Prizegiving ceremony, we were pleased to mark this special day with an “outside picnic”, music, special “civvies day”, fun awards and two food trucks. We congratulate and celebrate our leavers for 2021.

A huge thank you to Mr Toti West and Mr Hamish Berkers who assisted in producing the video and audio. Credit and thanks to Ms Kenny for the talent quest videos. A further thank you to our Arts Coordinator, Margot Rawlings for coordinating all the logistics and to our exceptional design team for the graphics.
