Reunion a Great Opportunity to Reconnect
Year 7 & 8 Camp
Genesis Deadline
Over the long weekend, we had the pleasure of hosting a special reunion for our alumni from 1982 and 1983. Despite some heavy rain, a large group turned out to reconnect with their roots and reminisce about their time at the school. Mr Bill McClure, our Deputy Principal, captivated everyone with his kōrero on the school's history and evolution over the last 40 years. Hearing past students share their memories was both fascinating and heartwarming— some things at our kura have certainly changed, while others remain steadfast!
