Last updates for 2011

Congratulations
Congratulations to Shane Jordan who was selected as the 2011 winner of the Heartland Scholarship. Shane will use this to continue his woodchopping. Shane spoke earlier in the year to the school as one of our 2011 Poutama speakers.

Activities Week
Junior students enjoyed the activities week with staff. The weather was fine enough that those choosing outdoor activities were able to continue. School based activities like electronics, film challenge and Masterchef had enough excitement to last the week while farm students at Taratahi tried lots of farm based jobs.

School magazine
The school magazine is available to be picked up. The school office will close on Thursday 16th December and reopen on Monday 23rd January, although staff may still be at school behind closed doors. Year 12 and 13 students are reminded that they need to come to course confirmation on Thursday 26 January with their record of learning to confirm their 2012 course. Peer support training will be held on this day from 10 am to 2 pm.
