Exciting Campus Developments and Opportunities to Give Back
We’re thrilled to share that construction of our 16 new purpose-built teaching spaces is progressing beautifully and on schedule for completion by early next year. As our school community continues to flourish and grow, these modern facilities represent a significant milestone in enhancing our teaching and learning environment. Each space has been thoughtfully designed to support innovative pedagogy and provide our ākonga with the resources they deserve.
With senior examinations now in full swing, we’re reaching out for your support. We urgently need volunteer reader/writers to assist ākonga during their exams (contact details below). This is a wonderful opportunity to directly impact a young person’s academic journey during this crucial time.
Looking beyond exams, we’re always seeking ways to strengthen the connection between our alumni and current ākonga. Your involvement—whether through sports coaching, informal lunchtime kōrero, classroom assistance, or helping with special events—brings immense value to our school community. When our ākonga see successful alumni giving back, it instils pride and demonstrates the enduring strength of our school whānau.
We believe our alumni are an integral part of what makes our school special, and we’d love to explore how you might share your time and talents with the next generation. If you’d like to learn more about volunteer opportunities or simply want an update on campus developments, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Your ongoing support means the world to us and our ākonga.
