Kia Ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College,
I thought I would post this gorgeous picture of our junior Equestrian class which was taken by Kara Cox earlier this week. This class is taught by the lovely Ingela Anklew who also coaches our International students. It has been fabulous to have our International students return to the school and to see our arena start to get busy again as the term kicks off. Ingela and Jamie (who teaches our NCEA course) make incredible contributions to our College as do the team of people behind them who are happy to lend us horses for our teen riders and who encourage our riders to challenge themselves in this difficult sport.
Our sports teams have been doing exceptionally well in recent weeks, including our cricket players, rowers and all of our students who took part in our Athletics activities. Sport is a wonderful thing for teaching our young people skills in teamwork, resilience and goal setting as well as the obvious spin off it has for physical and mental health. As we gear up for winter sports trials, please encourage your young person to consider playing a sport.
Sadly, winter will soon be upon us and whilst this may seem like long range thinking I do need to indicate that winter illness, including Covid 19, as well as industrial action in the education sector may see us needing to rotate classes of students home. I am issuing this early warning so that whānau consider the importance of ensuring that their students are at school on the days when they can be. Consistent attendance now may help to mitigate any disruptions that might occur later in the year.
Have a great weekend
God Bless
Jo
