Kia ora koutou SUPPORTED LEARNING LEAVERS DINNER Last night, our Supported Learning department said farewell to students Lily and Cayden and long serving teacher aide Kay Payne at the leavers dinner in Te Whare Ahurea. It was a wonderful evening celebrating many achievements, with awards presented to the senior students and words shared about those leaving. It is always good to see so many whānau and friends on these occasions and I would also like to extend my thanks to the Supported Learning team for all their hard work in organising the evening. We extend our very best wishes to Lily, Cayden and Kay for all that the future holds. |

NCEA EXAMS Exams continue next week for our senior students. A reminder for students to:
COLLEGE CANTEEN The College canteen will be open all day for students involved in exams. We will be open from 8:00am to 2:30pm during the exam weeks. This is a good place to meet up after exams if you want to sit away from the exam rooms. Students with a credit on Kindo AND are NOT coming back next year are advised to use this credit as this cannot be paid back to a bank account. For students returning next year the credit will roll over. Some basic stationery items eg pens, pencils etc are available for sale for those ‘just in case’ moments. Plain water bottles are also available. |
|
STAFF ONLY DAY MONDAY 10 NOVEMBER A reminder that we have our Staff Only Day on Monday 10 November. There will be no classes for students on this day. The staff only day is one that has been allocated for use by the Ministry of Education, with a focus on planning for the new curriculum requirements that are in place from 2026. Our subject departments will use the day to start aligning their teaching resources with the new material. |
