Principal's Comment

Kia ora Kevinian's and Supporters of the College

Passionate kapahaka challenges have echoed around the campus this week in preparation for Friday's Junior Performance Unit competition. This work is an outstanding example of student directed learning. The deeper learning that occurs is a tribute to the dedication of the Physical Education Faculty. As a College we have observed development in student leadership, teamwork, group work, tolerance and perseverance. I look forward to seeing the emerging leaders contribute to building a strong College family in following years.

On Wednesday the White Ribbon Riders were formally welcomed to the College. The article and images later in the blog show the warm welcome and strong links that are being made with our core values. Thank you to Sargent Jason McCoy, Mrs Helen Algar and the local riders who took the time to share this important anti family violence message with the students. It was fitting that Leslie Elliott from the Sophie Elliott Foundation shared her powerful experience about healthy relationships and we look forward to continuing this work with the Love Me Not programme.

This evening we are hosting the North Otago Pasifika Fono in the Auditorium. This is an opportunity to celebrate the success and achievement of our Pasifika youth. Thank you to Mrs Tina Dooley and Mrs Margaret Burton for facilitating this event.

Finally can you keep in your prayers Br Arthur O'Kane who has had a long association with the College and is currently not well, and also Jenny Dixon, wife of Russell, and June Campbell who are recovering from surgery.

May God bless you all this Advent Season
Paul Olsen, Principal
