Kia ora e te whānau;
The sun was definitely shining for Carnival Day today, and it was awesome seeing so many students come in their house colours, ready to get fully involved in the activities and sport on offer. Huge thanks to Deputy Principal Aaron Harris, our House Leaders and Student Leaders for the huge amount of work that was put into the day.
Next week marks the beginning of Ramadan, a really special time for many students and whānau in our GBHS community. For those who might not know, Ramadan is observed by Muslims around the world and is a month of reflection, fasting, and kindness. The end of Ramadan is celebrated with Eid al-Fitr. To all our students and whānau who are observing, we wish you a peaceful and meaningful Ramadan - Ramadan Mubarak!
Have a great weekend.
