Kia ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College
Congratulations to Magee House for their 1st placing overall in the Choral Festival inter-house competition last evening. Having listened to student voice, for first time in many years all four houses were seated in the Auditorium. This added to the occasion, with all the traditional house passion and rivalry on display. Spectator seating was at a premium and over 40 viewers joined the event via internet live streaming which was organised by Mr Seddon. Thank you to our music teacher Mrs Haig and her team of staff and student helpers, for organising a tremendous celebration of music with choir, group and individual performances.
Yesterday evening we also farewelled our guests from Gong'an No1. Senior Middle School from China. Their brief two week stay in the hostel has been very successful and we look forward to continuing links in years to come. Thank you to Mrs Campbell, Ms Walshe and Mr Fowler who have helped me with the visit.
This evening I will be launching the Community Safety Strategy for the Waitaki District as part of the International Safer Community initiative. Local secondary school involvement in the project is pivotal to its success. The group has a facilitation role to identify issues and effect change through mobilisation of local groups and resources. The guest speaker this evening is Professor Hayne talking on the Impact of Alcohol on Adolescents at 6.30pm in the Waitaki Girls High School Hall.
Finally, best wishes to the 1st XV Rugby team as they play off against Burnside High School from Christchurch to be the top co-ed South Island Rugby School . The match starts at 1pm at Murray Field and you support would be appreciated.
May God bless you all
Paul Olsen, Principal
