Merry Christmas

A happy new year to all from the Stratford High School family.

We would like to thank you for your support of the school in 2012. The support from parents, students and the community is invaluable to our school and enables our students to take part in many of the extra curricular activities and events.

We would like to acknowledge the support of the SHS Old Pupils Association, Tag Oil, Massey University, Maata Woman's Institute and the Mako family in supporting our students at the prizegivings. It was also pleasing to note the increased number of junior students who attended with families.

The Parent Teacher Association supports the school with assistance at functions and also with funds raised from locker hire and uniform sales to purchase extra items for the benefit of our students.

Another way of supporting the school is with your purchase of school stationery. By using either Stratford Paper Plus or Warehouse stationery you enable the school to purchase stationery items.

Many thanks to the many sponsors of our school. We have a number of firms who support the school by sponsoring the school magazine, adverts in the Stratford Press, sports and cultural teams, cultural activities and colour printing. Without them many school events would not be publicised or provided.

Once again, keep safe during the Christmas break and we look forward to seeing you back in 2013.
