The Year 9 boys were stoked - and the envy of the rest of the hostel boys - with their new embroidered polar fleece blankets. Thanks to Vendella and Embroid Me for their generosity towards this project.

A huge thanks to all those who helped with the Wanaka Show. We had a successful couple of days networking and enjoyed positive interactions and feedback.

Reminder: we are now more than halfway through Term One. Please encourage your boys to lock away the potential 15 to 20 credits that are available towards their NCEA.

 

Man of the Week - Leo Garden

Always a happy guy in the hostel. Leo puts in 110% effort into both sport and school. Thank you for being the first to offer to help.

 

PLEASE BE AWARE - YES WE ARE OPEN for Otago Anniversary Day March 24th

Please get your leave organised ASAP so we can sort numbers for catering. Thank you.
