Message from the Principal
Dear Parents, Welcome to November, a month of change as our seniors take study leave this week to prepare for the NCEA external examinations and our juniors work through the remainder of the term, including their junior examinations, building up to our Junior Diploma celebration assemblies on December 12 (Year 9) and 13 (Year 10). Celebrating across the curriculum has been our focus for the last few weeks, with Sports Prizegiving and Arts Prizegiving and Academic Prizegiving now behind us. The lists of achievements and the

levels of performance have been outstanding and celebrations continue with our Maori community Prizegiving on Friday November 24. It is a feature of the leadership development for students at this school that the House and Arts Councils take full responsibility for the Sports and Arts evenings, annual highlights for us and for them. Our guest speaker for Sports Prizegiving was Jane Nicholas, an International Kayaker and ex-student and for Arts Prizegiving GraceWright, also an ex-student and recognised artist. Both were outstanding speakers and role models for our girls. In the week before our students start their junior examinations in Week Six there will be a study day on Friday 17 November when students will stay home and focus on revision. Once the junior examinations are over the Deans at both Year 9 and Year 10 levels have been working hard on organisation for the period of time before the end of year, putting in place some extra learning opportunities both in and out of the school.
At all levels of the school students are encouraged to make the most of the next few weeks, to invest time and energy in learning as they develop their talents and study skills, to seek help to fill any gaps in their understanding and to ensure that they are ready for the next steps on their learning journey into 2018.
