Kia ora e te Whānau

Wednesday 27 November is our annual Senior Graduation evening. This event celebrates any students who are leaving schooling with NCEA Level 1 or above. The event is held in the school hall and will start at 6.30pm, with doors opening at 6pm. Students can wear either uniform or smart casual attire. All whānau are invited to attend and celebrate with us.
We will have a professional photographer on site to capture the evening and these photos will be shared after the event.

We look forward to celebrating this important milestone in our young people’s lives with you.
