Term Three Week 5

Fiafia 

A huge THANK YOU to whānau for coming along to last night's Fiafia performances.  Please keep an eye on next week's pānui for photos.  

Final Benchmark Exam Timetable

Please read the final timetable carefully as some exams have moved. Read the instructions on the timetable carefully too!

GOOD LUCK!

Benchmark Exam Week Study Spaces

When you are not writing an exam, you will be expected to be in your chosen study space - everyone who has signed up via the link in the last Pānui will be in their first-choice study space. If you have forgotten, there will be lists on the noticeboard at the back of the Hall, as well as in the Student Centre. If you have not signed up for a study space you must choose between the 30s and 40s blocks only. Once you have chosen a space, you must be in that space all week.

Senior Pathways Hui

On Friday 1 September our Year 10, 11, and 12 students will have the opportunity to speak with department representatives to learn about all of the senior courses available in 2024. This will be a great opportunity for them to learn about what is on offer and which courses they can choose for next year. More information will follow in next week's Pānui but save the date in the meantime!

Cruisin' with Chrissy Driver Education Evening for Learners and their Whānau

On Wednesday 30 August at 5pm we will be hosting Senior Constable Chris Leppien who will present her Cruisin' with Chrissy Driver Education Evening. All are welcome as this training is designed for both learner and teacher.

Festival for the Future

In early June, Isabella Bradley, Year 12, was given a scholarship to attend the Festival for the Future which is a leadership conference. She was able to listen to heaps of amazing current leaders who talked about high performance leadership, empowering youth voices and how to make major decisions. She attended workshops and was able to engage with different agencies such as UNICEF, World Vision, and the SPCA. On the last day they were able to listen to the candidates' debate which had Nicola Willis, Marama Davidson, and Greg O'Connor and were able to hear how these parties were going to help the youth out in the upcoming election. Overall an amazing experience for Isabella and all other future leaders.

Maintaining Healthy Communities Hub Trip

This week our Healthy Communities Hub visited spaces in Heretaunga that support hauora and relationships. In the morning at Waipatu Marae we were guided around Aunty's Garden by Aunty Hanui then listened to the wonderful wahine, including Dr Aria Graham, at Mamia. Later we learned about Nourished for Nil then headed to Mitre 10 Sports Park where we were given a tour of some of the facilities by Dr Patrick Lander and connected with 2021 HGHS Head Girl, Georgia Treneman, who now studies at EIT. We ended the day having fun at Cornwall Park playground.

Aunty's Garden is a community garden where anyone can go to collect fresh kai for a koha.

Mamia wraps-around the wellbeing of new māmā and pregnant women who need support, skills, and rest. Mamia is open to all women under the tikanga of the marae and kaupapa Māori.

Nourished for Nil rescues food to prevent unnecessary waste; anyone can use this service.

Mitre 10 Sports Park has a number of free facilities for the community to use anytime including a running track and cycle skills course complete with traffic lights and road markings.
