Principal's Comment

Kia Ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College

We have started the new term with a 'hiss and a roar' here at the College with a range of things happening including preparation for Bishop's Shield, the final countdown before the musical and the opening of the new toilet block.

We have the added excitement of still smiling about the win against Waitaki in the rugby which could not have come at a better time given the fact we had a number of past pupils in the College who all enjoyed celebrating with us. I would like to thank the coaches, managers and players of all of the codes which participated in Waitaki Week for their hard work and dedication. I was proud of the sportsmanship of our students and the pride with which they played for their school.

If you visit us at the College you will see we have made some changes to the way our office is laid out. We have turned what was an office space for two into an office space for four and we have created a sitting area for whanau. We are waiting on final painting to be done and for a service window to be fitted so that students do not have to enter the office to do minor things like sign in. We are hoping this will lessen the chances of spreading Covid and other bugs going forward and also offer a degree of privacy to parents waiting for appointments. My sincere thanks goes to Te Ngakau Nui, our parent support and fundraising group, who donated the funds for the refurbishment.

Congratulations to those students who competed in the Scripture Reading competition this week!

Have a great weekend

God Bless
