Another reminder about driving to school and parking
It’s a privilege for Y13s only. You need to complete a form for this. See LAV
You can’t park in certain places like Walden St, the bottom of Kinghorne St, or Glamis Ave.
You must not leave litter 
You must be respectful to the people who live in the local community where you are parking. It reflects badly on us all when you drive poorly and leave litter.

NCEA WORKSHOP
Talofa Lava and Kia Ora,
I pray this email finds you all doing well.
As a result from last months Parent’s meeting we decided to have an NCEA Workshop especially around the new changes for our students that will start next year.
We will have representatives from the Ministry of Education Pasifika and Maori Teams to present to us. This will also be a good idea to ask them those burning questions you may have about Learning, Teaching and Funding etc.

The details for the workshop are:

VENUE: Lesley Shelly Lecture Theatre (next to The HUB)
TIME: 6PM TO 8PM (with dinner at 5.30pm)
This will be held next week Wednesday 29th March.

Please RSVP if you are available to join us for catering purposes.
