Students have been able to put democratic voting into practice this week with the student election for their Board of Trustee representative. The candidates spoke at forums on Tuesday and Wednesday, giving fellow students the opportunity to be well informed before placing their vote. The polls closed today and the results will be announced in the coming days. Thank you to all of the students who have put their names forward for consideration.
On Tuesday evening the College hosted the Pasifika community at the Fia Fia night. Our Pasifika and Kapa Haka groups performed in preparation for their performance at the Otago Polyfest last night and I extend my sincerest thanks to Mrs Plunkett and Mrs Dooley for helping the students prepare.
It was my pleasure to host the team from the Catholic Education Review Office at the beginning of the week. Their visit is a tri-annual review of the Special Character of the College and whilst a full report will come in due course, initial feedback to the Senior Management Team has been very positive and affirms the Values of the College. Thank you to all of the staff and students who made themselves available to meet and speak with the team.
Next week is Senior Assessment Week and students are reminded to not underestimate the importance of these examinations. They should be well aware of the value of results should they need to apply for a derived grade for their end of year NCEA exams. As such, I expect all of our students to ensure they are well prepared and utilise the entire time allocated for each exam in order to attempt and complete all of the questions or papers.
Please keep our senior students sitting examinations in your prayers.
May God bless you all
Paul Olsen, Principal
