This evening we had our annual Year 8 Adrenalin Forest evening which a load of our Year 8 students enjoying the challenges of the high ropes course followed by a good old kiwi BBQ in the reserve. It was great fun and Vicki Smith managed to get some great snaps - here are a few!
Other reminders for this week:
- Tomorrow is the 'Tough Kids' event at the South Brighton Domain. Senior HQ students are taking part along with Team 5/6. Students need to be at school for the roll at 8.30am sharp as the buses leave at 8.40am. Our race time is 9.30am. We will return to school in time for lunch and the afternoon classes as usual. Please remember to bring a complete change of clothes, towel and plastic bag as you WILL get wet and muddy. I've also suggested a rain jacket in case the rain predicted does arrive. Students can wear their sports gear, mufti or a dress up if they plan to enter the dress up category. A drink bottle and big lunch is also expected!
- Wednesday lunch time the Student Council, House Captains, Kapa Haka Leaders and HQ teachers have their annual McDonald's lunch. Notices went home today with the students this event applies to. This is paid for by the council and is a thank you for all the hard work during the year by the students in these roles.
- Thursday evening we have our Senior HQ Prize Giving. This kicks off at 6pm sharp and is always a packed house! Get there early to secure your seat. We anticipate the prize giving running until 7.30pm all going to plan. It is expected that ALL of our Senior HQ students attend this event. Friday morning is then optional and school finishes at midday on Friday for those students who choose to come along.
We wish all our HQ families and students a very Merry Christmas and a safe, relaxing summer break. Thanks for your support over the past four terms. We look forward to seeing our amazing Year 7 students back next year for another action packed year in the HQ!
Happy holidays everyone........Mrs Moore!
