From the Principal: Coffee Mornings, IGCSE and the College Expo

Aug 25, 2026 | Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Thank you to everyone who has attended our recent parent coffee mornings. Following the great engagement and feedback from those sessions, more coffee mornings are currently being planned for the coming weeks.

On Tuesday 25 August we are holding a session on the IGCSE programme at North West College. This will be at our Lincoln Road campus at 9am. I do understand that 9am is not an ideal time for working parents. Please note that I will endeavour to provide more sessions for our Year 10 and Year 11 parents and students in the coming weeks, and plan to invite experts from Cambridge New Zealand to attend and answer any questions from parents.

Our Year 10 students had a fantastic experience in the city on Monday 17 August, attending the live performance of Macbeth. Thanks to Ms O’Connor for leading the excursion, the students had a wonderful time. The production brought the Shakespearean text to life in a dynamic way, providing a memorable and engaging foundation for their current English units.

Please mark your calendars for our upcoming College Expo on Friday 18 September. This will be a wonderful occasion to celebrate student learning and developments. Full details, including specific timings and session schedules, will follow in the coming weeks.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Kind regards
Michelle Randles
