Congratulations to all of our winners and to Rutherford house for retaining the Swimming Sports title for the 4th year in a row!

Board of Trustees Elections 2019
This year marks an election year for the Board of Trustees. You can nominate another person to stand as a candidate, or you can nominate yourself. Being a Board member is an important role in schools as Trustees have an oversight of the school in its entirety (i.e. finance, property, and governance), not just one area of the school. Being on a Board does not mean you are responsible for the day to day management of the school.
Nominations open on Friday 10 May 2019. The nominations will close at noon on Friday 24 May 2019 with voting closing at noon on Friday 7 June 2019.
The new Board will take office on Friday 14 June 2019. This means the meeting on 12 June 2019 will be the last for the outgoing Board and is an opportunity for all potential Trustees to come and observe a Board in operation.
Relay For Life 2019
Congratulations to everyone who took part in the Relay for Life over the weekend 9-10 March. A big thank you to Ms Sutton and the team for their fundraising efforts. The Awatapu College team raised $8400 for the event and won the “Most Raised Community Group and Schools” award!
