This week has seen some glorious Spring like weather, and it is great to have seen lots more sunshine. The week has been an unusually quiet one with boys away at winter tournament’s all around New Zealand. We have also had 2 industry interview days plus Junior service day, meaning attendance at School has been limited this week. Lots of boys have taken advantage of the quiet week and headed home for a well-deserved, mid -term break, over the long weekend.
 
Our Boarding Administrator, Brodie Morris leaves us today to start her maternity leave with her baby due at the end of September. We wish Brodie well for the exciting times ahead. Brodies temporary replacement will hopefully start from 12 September with more details to follow.
 
Due to the short week and high absence rate we have changed our trip to the Te Puna Taimona hot pools to this coming Tuesday 8-10pm. This trip is for boys in years 11-13 and should allow boys a great opportunity to soak and unwind. On Thursday we will have a Tribe themed night. Dinner is Chinese banquet followed by an Inter tribe multi-sport competition. Look out for the photos in next week’s newsletter from these events.

We hope you have a fabulous weekend wherever you are. Best Wishes Dai and the boarding team.
