Congratulations to Dion Wilson who was awarded a Bronze Certificate in the NZ Maths Olympiad.

Some of our English classes had the opportunity to enter the Hastings District Council's Expression Project. It is a creative writing competition where applicants express their thoughts about Hastings in 20 words or less. There are 5 winners across the Hawke's Bay who have each won $250 worth of vouchers of their choice, and their words have had original artwork commissioned. The winning words and accompanying art have been made into window displays. Congratulations to Heath Lawrence and Logan Timmins who are both winners. Logan's winning words are on display at 109 King Street South and Heath's is displayed at 318 Heretaunga Street West.

Well done to Logan and Heath!

Reports from each group will follow soon!

William Carter was very fortunate to be invited to be a part of the Taylor Hawks LABS training camp earlier this month. It was great to have NBH Nelson Giants Head Coach and Tall Blacks Assistant Coach Mike Fitchett take the time to share his wealth of knowledge with the group, from setting standards, to teaching concepts on both ends of the floor
