On the first day of Term 3, Monday, 21 July, we welcomed five International Students:
Paul Dessel, Hendrik Gerritzen, Till Schulenburg and Thomas Schuehly all from Germany and Piper Samanchate from Thailand. We also welcomed Exchange student Fabiano Tracanna from Italy.
The students all enjoyed as part of their orientation a walk around Mt Maunganui (Mauao) with delicious fish n chips for lunch. The boys have all now started their studies, with 'Kiwi' student buddies to help with their transition into class.

St Joan of Arc Secondary School Short Term Student Visit

This week we have enjoyed having a group of 11 boys and their teachers from Hong Kong, St Joan of Arc Secondary School, visiting our school.
The boys have had a wonderful time with their ESOL lessons and going to mainstream class with their kiwi buddies.

Goodbye and Best Wishes to our Leavers

We are sad to say goodbye to our Leavers at the end of this term. We wish them all the best for their future. They have certainly matured into young men that all their family and friends can be proud of.
