Dear Parents and Caregivers
The Top 6 leaders and I attended the Student Leadership Forum at Waitaki Boys' High School this morning and were honoured to meet with the Governor General Sir Jerry Mateparae who is in North Otago for four days to attend the Scott Exhibition, as well as the opening of the 150th North Otago A & P Show and to attend the New Zealand Rowing Championship in Twizel this weekend. This is the second time this week that I have had the pleasure of the Governor General's company as on Wednesday afternoon I attended the launch of the Woodhouse Scholarship Programme at Washdyke. These scholarships will give students wishing to study Bio Science at a South Island University $5000 towards their fees. I encourage any South Canterbury based students to avail themselves of this opportunity.
On the sporting front, today we completed our House Relays for athletics in perfect conditions. Thank you to Ms Casey for organising this event. I wish Angus Macaulay and Isobel Ryan every success in their respective specialist swimming events at the NZ National Age Group Swimming Championships. Best of luck to the St Kevin's College Cricket team who play Waitaki Boys' High School this weekend after coming off a very convincing win over Roncalli this week. Congratulations to Shaun Kelliher who is enjoying a great run of form with both bat and ball.
Our Lions Leo Club and Rugby Club representatives have a fundraising raffle for sale at the show, the prize is a trailer load of premium quality firewood. I look forward to meeting parents and caregivers in the CRT Tent tomorrow for the 150th Anniversary celebration of the North Otago A & P Show.
God bless
Paul Olsen
Principal
