Monday, 27 March – Sunday, 02 April
School Bus Bay
A reminder that the bus bay on the Chambers Street side of school is for buses, only. Passenger vehicles using this as a turning bay, or stopping in the area, are causing congestion / challenges for the bus drivers.
Please respect this space as being reserved for the bus service.
Junior School Social
We are hosting a junior social on Thursday, 30 March 7:00-9:30pm in the school’s Henderson Hall. The theme is ‘Neon’. This is for Y9-10 students. Tickets are on sale at school on Monday, $10 entry.
Acknowledging Burger Fuel Napier
We would like to acknowledge Burger Fuel Napier who have donated thousands of burger vouchers to schools across Hawke’s Bay. These have been passed onto families in need of support following Cyclone Gabrielle. The vouchers have been distributed by the House Deans.
Uniform Shop
Pleas ensure that your son has a winter school uniform ready to wear for Term 2. All students need to be in correct winter uniform – a long-sleeve winter shirt. Prices for winter uniform are available on the school website. The winter shirt is $48.

Sizing can be based on current summer uniform. Items may be exchanged if they have not been worn or named. Orders must be collected by your son from the school office.

Term One Progress Report
This report offers an overview of your son’s achievement and effort. Ordinarily, we produce two reports a term. However, this term we will be generating only one. The April progress report will be emailed to parents / caregivers in Week 10. Please make the time to talk through this report with your son, acknowledging the positives, work-ons and setting goals to collectively work toward.
If you do have any concerns in relation to your son’s progress at school, academic or pastoral, your fist contact is their tutor teacher. You can find staff emails here..
