Message from our Principal

Tēnā koutou katoa,

As we approach the year’s end, we celebrate the achievements of our students through final assemblies and prize givings. These events are a highlight, showcasing the incredible talent, perseverance, and dedication of our ākonga across academic, cultural, and sporting domains.

Representing our college is a privilege that comes with the responsibility of upholding our core values of manaakitanga (kindness, respect, and service to and for others), whanaungatanga (building connections and relationships), and kaitiakitanga (guardianship of the environment and knowledge). Regular attendance - 80% or higher - is vital to this commitment. Attendance not only ensures students benefit fully from their learning but also fosters discipline and connection to the school community. Students not meeting attendance and behavior expectations may face restrictions from representing the college in sports or other activities. Let us all work together to support every student in maintaining these important standards.

This year, we launched the Acorn Foundation Community Fund to enhance opportunities for our students and staff. This fund will contribute to the betterment of our college, providing resources, spaces, and initiatives that allow our school community to thrive. More details can be found in this newsletter, and we encourage you to learn about how this initiative will enrich our school’s future.

A special acknowledgement goes to Hamish Tanner, our 2024 Head Boy, who was nominated for the Western Bay Community Awards, Youth Spirit Award. Hamish exemplifies leadership and community service, notably through his work with Kura Kai, mentorship initiatives, and various fundraising activities. He is also an accomplished squash player, coach, and an inspiring role model. Congratulations, Hamish - we are incredibly proud of you!

Please take note of the start-of-year information included in this newsletter. Stationery will be available through Office Max or Office Products Depot, and our Deans have worked closely with senior students to confirm their timetables for 2025. Should any questions arise, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the relevant Dean.

As this year comes to a close, I want to thank you all - students, whānau, and staff - for your contributions and support throughout 2024. I hope to see many of you at the upcoming final assemblies and prize givings as we reflect on this year’s successes and prepare for the opportunities ahead.

Wishing you a safe and enjoyable holiday season. I look forward to welcoming you back for the 2025 school year.
