Principal's Comment

Kia Ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College,

Happy Friday! We seem to have been blessed with great weather for Tournament Week, and as tired students drag themselves back through the school gates, we are hearing some wonderful reports about how the sports events have gone. I have received two emails from different people this week from different parts of the South Island commenting on how well our students have represented our College.
Like most people, I love winning, but what I love even more is when, win or lose, our students rise to the occasion and are good ambassadors for their teams and the College. We have had some good results across the codes and the general feeling is that in all cases our students played their best games.

Next week, on the 5th September at 7pm in the library, we are holding our Caregiver consultation evening with regards to the Cambridge trial for senior curriculum which we are running for 2024. I encourage any parents and caregivers of Year 10 students to come along as this will affect your young person. During the evening we will share with you our rationale for this trial, the associated costs and the way the Cambridge system works. You will get a chance to ask questions, give feedback and hear from Heads of Department with regards to what they think Cambridge courses have to offer our students potentially in the long term.

Thank you to the two lovely young ladies who agreed to be my models today for the blog snap. I absolutely love this time of year when the grounds are filled with blossoms. It's a magic place to come to work.


Have a great weekend.

God Bless

Jo
