Hello Everyone

Hope you all enjoyed the Burger Lunch we had at the end of last week, it was a good finish to yet another great week.

As everyone will know by now, Exams have been pushed out a week due to the Lockdown situation that New Zealand is currently facing. I am sure everyone is glad of the extra week that we get for studying to do the best we can in the OSG exams. Keep studying hard guys, it will all be worth it.

Also a big congrats on all the AWESOME results from the Year 11-13's, and a special shout out to Tiara Brewerton who got 15 Excellence credits in ONE MORNING!

Enjoy your weekend everybody!

Thank you,

Tizana and Saffron
