March Meeting : Wednesday 20 March 2024
Dear Glendowie College community,
It is hard to believe that we are nearing the end of Term 1 and the end of March, which means after 31 March, the discount off the college donation will cease, so make sure you take advantage of this. The college donation really does help the school fund all the extras we offer for students.
The Parents’ Association Car Boot Sale was hugely successful and the community response on the day was wonderful. Many alumni took the advantage to revisit the school and have a wander around while picking up a bargain. Look out for future events run by the Parents’ Association and get in touch if you can help.
The summer term means lots of sport, Athletics Day was fun and hot, and swimming sports this week is another great way for the Houses to compete. The Rowers have returned from a successful Maadi Regatta held at Lake Ruataniwha where they won a Silver in the Boys U16 Double, congratulations to Finlay Christensen and Xavier Warren.
We are continuing to replace the windows – Hammer block is complete, and Eddy block is planned for the July holidays. The Campus Vision Task Group is forming its vision for the next 10-Year Property Plan. There are many areas in need, so we are identifying our target list and will spend our money wisely.
We wish you a safe and happy Easter with lots of hot cross buns and chocolate..
Ngā mihi nui,
Belinda SutherlandPresiding Member
