Congratulations to all our winter sporting teams on the outstanding participation and fair play demonstrated during the season. Thank you to coaches and supporters who have made the successes possible and been there for players in defeat. You are living role models of the Special Character of our College.
This weeks assembly guests were Mike King and Tai Tupou from the Key to Life Trust. Both Mike and Tai talked of their personal journey in life. They urged students to talk to others and seek help when issues first arise rather than waiting until they are major. The message was one of hope and complemented our Special Character values and virtues.
As the term draws to a close and examination week looms on the horizon, NCEA students are beginning to feel the bite of academic pressure. These mock examination are the safety net for students, as these supply the final results if a student cannot sit the end of year examinations. Staff go to a lot of trouble to provide top quality assessments and I encourage students study hard and take them seriously.
Thank you to the Avimore Construction team who have worked so hard to develop the Equestrian Arena this week. It is looking tremendous after the long winter.
I look forward to meeting many of you this evening at the Celebration of Sport Awards. Thank you in advance to Mrs Kitto and Miss Casey for the work that you have put in and congratulations to all of our award recipients. There has always been a strong sporting culture at the College and it is a pleasure to celebrate the sporting endeavours of our students together as a College Family.
Finally, please keep the McCleary and Wallis families in your prayers as they face the loss of loved ones.
May God bless you all
Paul Olsen, Principal
