Next year's school production is Seussical—The Musical. This is a great fun show based on the characters and stories of Dr Seuss. It has wide appeal for audiences of all ages. More details will follow but you can check it out online.
As part of the Patronal Day celebrations, a number of staff meet for breakfast. Patronal Day has special significance for the Marist community, so it was a pleasure be able to share the occasion with Br Osmond.
This week the College welcomed Justin Yu who is undertaking his final practicum at Verdon. He is about to complete his teacher training at the University of Canterbury College of Education. Justin was educated at the University of Ottawa in Canada and specialises in Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. We hope his time with us is enjoyable and rewarding.
On Saturday 4 July I flew up to Auckland on the Spirit of New Zealand. I went on the boat for ten days. In this time we learnt how to sail the boat, and I went small boat sailing, rafting and swimming. We also learnt leadership skills and met lots of people. We sailed out of Auckland around the Hauraki Gulf and then back to Auckland. Thank you to the Lions for sponsoring me to do this. I had a wonderful time - Paigan Marshall.
