The mild weather and autumn colours make a stunning backdrop for our return to the College for Term 2. The week commenced with a belated memorial commemoration of ANZAC Day. Thank you to Chaplain, Fr Wayne, the Waitaki Combined Schools Firing Party and the Waitaki District Pipe Band for your valued contribution to the occasion.
Later in the week the annual Cross Country was held around the College grounds. Thank you to both staff and students for the enthusiastic manner in which you engaged with this hotly contested House event.
Today we end the week with our first Parent-Teacher meetings in the College gymnasium. I look forward to catching up with caregivers and encourage you to contact your son or daughter's Dean if you are unable to attend and need some additional feedback.
Finally, all the very best to teams having their first games in the winter sport competitions. I encourage students who have not signed up, to consider joining a team. It is a great way to keep fit, make friends and learn to be more tolerant and supportive of others.
May God bless you
Paul Olsen, Principal
