Kia ora Koutou, This has been a big week for Lakes High School with ongoing Roadshows, our Open Day for Year 8’s and on Thursday evening, Open Night. These have been really positive events, well attended and the feedback received has been highly encouraging. I want to thank our awesome students who have helped at the event and shown what is best about our school – the relationships between our students and staff. I know this is being sent out on several other platforms, but on Monday we have a staff only day. This is continuing to develop our school-wide thinking around restorative practice. Our Deans are currently working to fill in gaps in subject choices for 2021 so that we can start to develop a timetable that reflects the choices of our students and meets their needed pathways where possible. We will always do our best to meet all student requests and preferred options. Nga mihi,
Jon Ward Principal / Tumuaki
