Kia ora e te Whānau

Next Monday 13 November is our Teacher Only Day for our Year 9 and 10 students. This is part of the accord agreement with the government to prepare for NCEA changes.
There will be no classes for Year 9 and 10, but all NCEA external exams for our senior students will be still running as scheduled by NZQA.
