Year 8 Open Evening.

Last Tuesday, 24th July we were pleased to welcome many Year 8 students, their parents and families to our Open Evening. Groups were guided around the school by senior students to see displays, view the classrooms and other facilities and experience the atmosphere of our school. Many thanks to the New Caledonia students who supplied the supper and to the number of students and staff who made this evening a success. Many parents were impressed with the open, friendly and respectful relationships shown by staff and students.

At the end of the evening there was a prize draw for tickets to the first Tenderlink Taranaki Ranfurly Shield challenge in Inglewood. The winners of the double passes were: Brandy Phillips (Eltham), Elizabeth Martin, Kyra Shadbolt (Stratford), Ryan Joll (Kaponga) and Nathan Roy (Midhirst). Miss Kay had organised a scavenger hunt and the ten prizes were won by: Alex, Danielle, Holly, Ben, Jordan, Demi, Jesse, Cody, Jessica and Josh.

Mrs Butler, Guidance Counsellor and Year 9 Intake Dean will be starting her school visits later this term. Enrolment forms will be sent to contributing schools shortly and collected during these visits. If you missed the open evening and would like to tour the school please contact the school office to make an appointment.
