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.

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.

School Peak magazine

The school magazine Peak will not be avialable for students to collect until the week of 25th January 2010. The students; Sarah Cooper, Sarah Robertson and Rachel Weren have worked extremely hard over the past ten days and many design aspects of the magazine are completed. Over the next week, the colour pages and text will be placed and the magazine should be at the printers by the end of next week.

Any students who wish to submit work for next year will need to have it into the committee by the end of term three for general articles so the magazine may be ready before the end of the school year.

The covers will be sent to the printers on Monday for test printing.
