Junior Prizegiving 2025
The 2025 Junior Prizegiving was a wonderful celebration of learning, growth, and achievement. Our students, staff, and whānau came together to recognise the hard work, progress, and contributions of our junior learners throughout the year.
This special occasion highlighted not only academic success but also the values and future-focused capabilities that define College: Rangatiratanga, Kaitiakitanga, Auahatanga, Māramatanga, Kōrerorero, and Whakawhanaungatanga | Character, Citizenship, Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication, and Collaboration. These qualities help our students grow into confident, caring, and curious young people ready to take on new challenges.
The junior years are the foundation for success in senior school. Building strong habits now: such as excellent attendance, punctuality, and consistent effort, sets students up for future achievement. Every skill developed, every relationship built, and every goal reached in these years creates the pathway to NCEA success and life beyond school.
The achievements we celebrated reflect the combined efforts of students, teachers, and families. At College, relationships are at the heart of everything we do, and the support of our community makes these successes possible.
