Central Demolition will be undertaking minor asbestos removal works in the evening of Friday 16 November within the Awatapu College boiler room (pictured). The work will be undertaken by licenced asbestos removalists and will follow the Worksafe Approved Code of Practice to control any risks during the removal project. We estimate that the asbestos removal work will be completed within 1 day.
Year 10 Camps run from Monday 26 November - Friday 30 November. A gentle reminder that some may still have a balance owing for camps. If this is you, or if you are unsure, please contact the office. Students have been issued with camp letters outlining full trip details and permission forms - please return these as soon as possible. A reminder, camps are a privilege, not a right, and that the school reserves the right to remove a student from their selected camp. If you have any questions regarding Year 10 Camps, please contact Mrs Newton by phoning 06 356 4817 or emailing This email address is being protected from spambots.
