Good afternoon all,

Welcome to second-to-last newsletter of 2023!   

Our year 11 – 13 students are now well through the NCEA exams and will be looking forward to having these completed.

For the younger students OneSchool’s Head Start program has kicked in, and they have all moved up to the year level they will be working in next year.   This has gone very well, and new routines have been established which should mean that students build momentum rapidly next year.

We are looking forward to welcoming families and friends to the Timaru and Gore sites for the Recognition of Excellence ceremonies on Wednesday December 6.  Remember to register using the link 2023 Recognition of Excellence Ceremony Registrations - Wednesday 6th December if you have not done so already.

Finally, huge thanks to all the hardworking volunteers who helped with the Gore Campus upgrades recently.  The new van shelter/covered walkway gives a big improvement in both comfort and safety, the juniors are looking forward to using their new shade sail, the Year 7s and 8s are enjoying their new classroom layout with a new glazed wall and direct access to outside, and the staff are loving the new staffroom window.

From Jonathan Moore on behalf of the CA team
