Class Act Award Recipients 2024 Mrs Wish had the honour of attending the Class Act Awards last week. Established in 2001, these awards recognize two outstanding students from each school in Otago. This year, our well-deserving recipients were Wyatt Mallon and Elsie Clarke. Both students have shown exceptional leadership, dedication to their academic studies, and a strong commitment to extracurricular activities. Their certificates were awarded by Prime Minister Chris Luxon, and ODT editor Paul McIntyre. Olympic Gold medallist Finn Butcher spoke to the recipients about working towards his medal and using mindfulness and connections to achieve his goals. We couldn’t be prouder of them.

Halloween Costume Competition The question was: How scary are you? The answer on Tuesday was “We’re pretty scary!”. There was a good turnout on the day, with some marvellous costumes from both staff and students. There were medieval plague doctors, Eddie Munster, witches, reporters named Allan, fairy princesses, zombies, mummies, scarecrows and wolf people, The Red Queen and that white rabbit! There was even a giant mushroom and a giant “scream” ghost! Lording over it all was the Demon Librarian handing out Halloween treats and lollipops. The lucky winners were: Students 1st Brooklyn Mair (The Plague Doctor) 2nd = Maddie Lamb and Kaitlin Burgess (The Red Queen and the White Rabbit) 3rd= Dahara Williams and Niko Coleman. (Giant Mushroom and Scream Ghost) Staff 1st Ms J McEntyre (Eddie Munster) 2nd= Leanne Burgess (Scary Scarecrow) and Sharlene Goodwin (A werewolf) Honourable mentions: Ruby Barnett (the Mummy) Dakota Coleman (Allan) and Kyra and Bridgett Stephen (Fairy princesses!)
