Stand by - there are some exciting things happening next year.

Finally on Monday the Year 10’s took part in a taster day at SIT Invercargill. The options this year were Sport, Carpentry, Vet Nursing, Animation and Hospitality. It was a great day out and gave students a “taste” of potential careers and interests.

Just a reminder lost property (apart from jewellery, which is at the office) has been laid out in A3 for you to come and check for your child's lost items. You will be able to access the room today until 3.30 or next week Mon-Thurs during office hours 08.30-3.30pm.

Thank you to Mrs Carter for being the visiting Zombie.

Between Thursday, 1st December and Sunday, 4th, four students from St Peter’s College walked the Greenstone-Caples Track as part of the Adventurous Journey component of their Duke of Edinburgh Award. Molly Gray, Eve McKenzie, and Emma Shanks are working towards completion of the ‘Silver’ level, and Rachael Miller is working to complete ‘Gold’. They were accompanied by two students from Gore High School, Emma Fotheringham and Annalei Symons, and Ruby Miller from Southland Girls’ High School. Mrs Jacqui Thompson and Mr John Ryan were also present, but the student party was independent in almost every respect. The Greenstone-Caples is a challenging four day walk, and all seven girls were a credit to themselves, their whānau, and their respective school communities.

Registrations for the Duke of Edinburgh Award can be made at any time online by visiting https://dofehillary.org.nz Next year, we will be offering the Bronze Award to all students from Year 9. This is a great opportunity to develop important life skills, stretch yourself, and make new friends. Students in the senior school have direct entry to the Silver and Gold Award levels.

We would really like to build up a ‘library’ of gear that could help tamariki to engage with the great outdoors. Not having the right equipment can be a barrier to young people getting out there. If you happen to no longer require any of the following items, please consider dropping them into the school office labelled ‘Duke of Ed’:

• Raincoats
• Thermals and Fleeces
• Boots
• Sleeping bags
• Tramping Packs

Year 9 have been studying a Cultural Diversity unit studying different people and the differences and similarities between them. Food is a good connector for people and they thought it would be a great way to celebrate finishing the unit by having a shared cultural lunch. After lunch they had some fun and played various games.

Here we have some treats that Year 8 have made and decorated chocolate brownie Christmas trees as a treat to celebrate Christmas.

Molly Cook is part of the Hokonui Under 16 Marching Band and they won South Island Equal Champion Team in the Under 16 Grade, 1st Technical and 2nd Display the competition took place up in Nelson last weekend.

Well done to Molly and the team, what a great result.
