Well done to all teams who went to Tournament Week. Although the results were mixed, our teams faced strong oppositions with determination and good sportsmanship. It is always pleasing to receive reports, as we have, from members of the public complimenting our students on the way they conduct themselves in public.

Voting for the Student Trustee on the Board of Trustees takes place at the end of this week. I thank all the candidates, who will be speaking in assembly this week, for their interest in being part of the governance of the College.

Senior exams are less than 2 weeks away now, and all students in Years 11, 12 and 13 should be well into their preparation for these exams which are a final “rehearsal” before the NZQA exams in November.
