Principal's Comment

Kia Ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College,

Spring has sprung here at the College and the blossoms are out. This always feels like a major turning point in the year as we climb out of winter coughs and colds and into the warmer weather. After the stress of examinations last week hopefully students are able to appreciate time to enjoy the sun.

There are a few things that I need to draw families' attention to as we head towards the real examination period. Firstly, Level 1 Cambridge Mathematics is on at 9am on the first Monday back. Because this examination is sat on the same day all over the world, there is no chance to delay this or reschedule. If your student is taking this examination please consider this in your holiday planning.

Secondly, we will be sending a 'fridge schedule' of examinations in the next couple of weeks. Please keep an eye on this as students who are late to examinations start at a real disadvantage. Also please discuss any clashes with your son or daughter to ensure that the school knows about them in advance as we have to make careful arrangements to maintain authenticity.

Last but by no means least. Our Singing festival will be held next week. This is a real opportunity for our students to support one another and their Houses. There is an expectation that students will attend and do their best not only in House competition but also in support of solo singers. Year 12 students looking for leadership positions in 2025 should take this opportunity to step up to set and example for their Houses.

Have a great weekend

God Bless

Jo
