SUMMARY:New Parents and Year 9 Camp Information Evening
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]We would very much like to meet all the parents of our new students and are taking this opportunity to invite you to a Whānau-based Parent Information Evening followed by a Year 9 Camp Meeting. The evening will commence at 6.30 pm in the PAC. \n\nThis is an opportunity for you to meet your child’s Whānau Leader where they will introduce you to the processes and expectations of our College including how to access important information on the web portal\, as well as answering any questions you may have. \nOur Whānau system is at the heart of the College and is the foundation of our holistic approach to student education and pastoral care. Upon enrolment\, students are placed in a Whānau where they become part of our extended family of teachers and students of all year levels and they remain in this Whānau during their years at college\, nurturing a sense of belonging. \nYear 9 Camp Meeting\nThe second half of the meeting will also provide important information regarding the upcoming Year 9 Camp. \nIf you do not have a Year 9 student attending camp then this will be an opportunity for you to depart. \nIt is expected that the evening will conclude around 8 pm.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
