Well done to everyone who participated in the Awatapu College Swimming Sports on Thursday, 16 February. There was some fierce competition amongst our swimmers and the perfect weather conditions meant a great day was had by all. Official results and house winners to follow.
Since graduating from Awatapu College in 2015, Awatapu Scholar Kara Macdermid has continued her passion for sports and academia and is studying via distance learning at Massey University. Kara has written an interesting blog on her experience as a top athlete whilst studying extra murally - take a read!
Photolife Studios will visit on Wednesday 15 and Friday 17 February 2017 to take our school photos. Each student is photographed individually and the images are then compiled to make a class photograph for each form class. Students will receive ordering information after the photographs have been taken. However, if you would like to order a photograph of your children together, you will need to order this in advance. Envelopes for this are available at the office. You will be able to purchase individual photographs of your student, or a class photograph, or both. Ordering can be done online or via the school office. Students who use the bus service will also need to purchase a student ID card with this years image on it. These cost $7.50. Any other student who wishes to have an ID card may also get one, for the same price. Team and group photos will be taken later in the year. If you have any questions about the photographs, please contact Mrs Orme by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
