Cataloguing War Graves
Last Thursday afternoon members of our SPEC class, as well as our Senior History class, traveled with Mr McClure and Mr Trevathan to Fairfax Cemetery for the purposes of cataloguing war graves there. Mr Trevathan works closely with the New Zealand Remembrance Army, a nationwide volunteer network committed to remembering people who served and to the restoration of all graves and memorials of those people. We will be working with Mr Trevathan to locate, record and clean where necessary. Ultimately, in future, we hope to be able to produce a resource that visitors to the area can use to locate the resting places of loved ones and ancestors.

Ball Dress Swap
It’s that time of year - Ball Season is upon us! Things kick off this week with our Ball Dress Swap, an initiative that was first introduced last year and proved to be a real success. It’s a great way to promote sustainability and help make the ball more accessible for everyone. If you have a dress, suit or pair of shoes tucked away that you no longer need, we’d love your donation. It’s a simple gesture that could make a big difference to one of our students. *Tickets for the school ball are now on sale, and all payments must be made by Friday 15th August. The excitement is well and truly building!
