GBHS Newsletter (17 March 2023)
Kia ora e te whānau; The term is flying by and it has been great seeing the wide variety of activities happening across the week.
Last year the GBHS student council proposed the introduction of sweatshirts to our uniform. They worked through a great process and this term surveyed students in Years 9-12 to find out what they thought about the proposed sweatshirts. The great news is that 95% of the students who took part in the survey loved the sweatshirts! We are now working with our uniform supplier on the timeline……they are not in stock yet, but we will let you know when they are.
Congratulations to Harrison Clark-Robinson, Henry Jansen and Annie-Rose Collins for all their work in making this happen and to all the students who took part in the process.
Have a great weekend. Fiona Barker PRINCIPAL
