On Thursday evening, members of the Year 13 CARITAS group camped out in a make shift shelter in the school grounds. The Slum gave students a first hand experience of the challenges of living in poverty. Thank you to the staff who helped, and the parents and well wishers who brought food to keep hunger a bay.
Book Reviewer,Mr Bob Doherty from Christchurch, visited the College on Tuesday. He is pictured addressing our year 7 and 8 students in the Bishop Verdon Block Atrium.
As part of the preparation for The Big Sing on Tuesday evening at First Church, Panache performed at School Assembly last Tuesday and St Theresa's Church last Sunday. All the hard work was rewarded with a superb performance on the evening. We look forward to the comments when recordings are viewed by the national judges.
Mr Prendergast, newly elected Chair of the Verdon College Board of Trustees, welcomed new members to the Induction Meeting held last evening. Mr Telfer, Mrs Gourley and Mr Townley are all experienced BOT members with a broad skills set. Mr Prendergast commented that with the continuity provided by the Proprietor's Representatives, the new Board is a strong and experienced unit ready for the challenges that lay ahead.
