This week our Year 11 students have been away on their annual Retreat at the Waihao Marae near Morven. College Retreats have a different focus depending on the year level and in the case of our Year 11 class it was an opportunity to look at building relationships with their peers and others in a Maori setting. Outdoor challenges are very much a part of the retreat and our thanks to Miss Casey our Year 11 Dean and her team for the time and energy they direct into the programme.
There has also been a mix of sporting and academic events on during this past week, including the postponed Kavanagh Exchange and the Annual Aoraki Junior Maths Competition. We have also had a group of athletes represent the College at the Otago/Southland Secondary Schools Competition and the Special Character that all of our students exhibit while they are away on behalf of the College is to be commended.
Our best wishes go with our rowers as they compete in the Maadi Cup Regatta at Lake Ruataniwha this week.

May God Bless You All
