SUMMARY:Purchasing of Year 13 Graduation Book
DESCRIPTION:Graduation Book is only available to Year 13 Leavers and is a record of the ‘Class of 2025’.\nThe cost to purchase the 2025 Graduation Book is $30. The last day for payment is either Friday 10 October. \nThe Graduation Book fee is automatically loaded onto every Year 13 student’s account. After Friday 10 October\, students who have not made full payment will have this fee removed from their account and no book will be ordered. Every year we have students wishing to purchase one after the closing date. Unfortunately\, these requests will be declined as we must confirm numbers with the printers.  \nStudents who have purchased a book will receive this\, along with their final school report\, before departing the graduation celebration. Those not attending the celebration\, but who have paid for a Graduation Book\, can collect it from the Finance Centre during the NZQA exams.
