Takapuna Grammar

Merit Badge Awards Assembly

Last month the school held its annual Merit Badge Awards Assembly for our Year 12 and 13 students. A Merit Award recognises the substantial contribution a student has made to their activity or sport.

Students have performed with distinction, exhibiting excellent leadership and strong commitment. This year we congratulated 128 students who achieved a Merit Award. This included five Gold Merit Award winners. To obtain a Gold Merit Award you must receive a Merit Award in four or more individual activities/sports.

Students go under the Clippers for Cancer

At Takapuna Grammar we decided to participate in this amazing cause. We acknowledge that many Kiwis in our communities and across New Zealand, are impacted by cancer. In response to this, we set up a team of students to be involved in Shave for Cure.

We shaved our hair off to acknowledge and support blood cancer patients through their hardships. We managed to raise $5,976.40 at time of print with Xander Elphick-Moon topping the individual fundraising efforts with a whopping $1840!

Thank you to everyone in the community who sponsored us for this great cause. From the TGS Whanau, we really appreciated your support and look forward to contributing to this remarkable fundraiser again next year!
