This week we have had over 100 students involved in seven sporting tournaments across the South Island. Reports back from staff and parents have been incredibly positive and whilst results were a mixed bag I congratulate all of the teams on their conduct, both on and off the sporting field. There are high expectations of all of our students when they are out in the community representing the College and once again our teams did not disappoint. I would also like to extend my thanks to all of the coaches, managers and chaperones who volunteered their time to support and travel with the teams this week. Without appropriate support our students would not have many of these opportunities.
Next Friday we celebrate the sporting successes of the College over the past 12 months at our annual Celebration of Sports Awards. The evening will be slightly different this year, with the presentations being made in the College Auditorium beginning at 7pm following a more traditional format. All of our sporting awards for the year will be presented as usual and with an open invitation for parents and caregivers to attend, I look forward to seeing many of you there.
With Senior Assessment week approaching students should be settling into a regular habit of study. These examinations are used as to help assess an application for a derived grade, should a student be unable to sit their end of year NCEA examinations and need to submit an application. NZQA have developed a new App called the NCEA Guide which provides quick and easy access to key information about NCEA, how it works and how parents and caregivers can support students studying in NCEA. Content can be viewed in both English and Te Reo Maori and the App is free to download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Finally, best wishes to the 1st XV Rugby team as they play in the national Co-ed Schools Rugby Championship. After such a close opening game your determination and courage on the field in the face of adversity are to be commended.
May God bless you all
