It is great to see and hear about student success, not only in the classroom, but as sportspeople, and citizens of our community. The current weather signals the end of summer sports, and we are looking forward to the start of the Winter codes in term 2. I encourage all students to get involved. If you need more information, don’t hesitate to contact Hamish and Georgia in the Sports Department. Winter also brings about changes to the school uniform, please remember that the Winter school uniform allows for WHITE long sleeves to be worn under the school shirt. However, socks (and/or) stockings are BLACK. We wish our Te Ahi Ka students safe travels as they head to Rarotonga as part of a cultural experience. This will be the first overseas school trip (since Covid) for GBHS, and we are excited to see the world of travel once again becoming a valuable learning option. Tomorrow is the Starry Night Ball for our Year 12 and 13 students. There’s been a lot of work put in to make the evening a great event and I’m looking forward to seeing our stunning students in all their finery. Have a great term break!
