If your daughter/s needs to remain at school after 12:30 pm they can use the library, which will be supervised by staff.  Should your daughter require supervision until 2:30 pm, you must complete the Google form by clicking on the link below. Thank you.

To accommodate a large number of boarding parents that will attend our Years 9 and 10 Learning Conferences (Parent/Teacher Interviews) on Friday 8 June, school will close early at 2:30 pm.

The Te Awamutu bus runs will arrive early to accommodate our students but, unfortunately, the Cambridge buses will run at the usual time. Students who need to remain at school after 2:30 pm can use the library and will be supervised by staff.

We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Tomorrow afternoon, Thursday 17 May, we will be holding our annual school cross-country. This event will take place at Days Park, River Road, Hamilton. We warmly invite our Dio whānau to come and support their daughters/ granddaughters.

• Race 1 - Year 9 at 1:40 pm (competitive)
• Race 2 - U16 at 1:55 pm (competitive)
• Race 3 - U19 at 2:10 pm (competitive)
• Race 4 - Fun Run at 2:25 pm (all non-competitive runners)

Students not participating in cross-country are to meet Mr James in the lecture theatre. Please bring your medical certificate. 

Please note: If the weather is inclement on the day, a call will be made late morning to cancel or postpone the event. Students should come to school prepared for their afternoon classes just in case. 

Please ensure that your daughter’s medical and emergency contact details are up-to-date in the parent portal. 

If you have any questions regarding the cross-country organisation, please contact Mark Cornaga - mcornaga@wdsg.school.nz

Dear Parents/Caregivers

We have been notified that the Executive of the Post Primary Teachers’ Association (PPTA) has directed its members to attend a paid union meeting on Wednesday, 23 May at 1.30 pm.  All teachers who are a member of the PPTA are required to attend this meeting to ratify the Terms of Settlement of the Secondary Teachers’ Collective Agreement. Unfortunately, we do not have enough teachers who are non-union members to cover all afternoon classes and students will, therefore, be released at 12.15 pm.

Some school buses will run at the earlier time (Go Bus services to Cambridge, Huntly, Ngaruawahia and Te Awamutu). All other buses will run at the usual time (as they also serve primary and intermediate schools).  However, students who need to remain at school after 12.30 pm can use the library, which will be supervised by staff.  Should your daughter require supervision until 2:30 pm, please complete the Google form by clicking on the following link.

We apologise for any inconvenience this early closure may cause.

 

It will be a faith-filled worshipful and thought-provoking hour of dance, music, words, with an Easter surprise thrown in for good measure! 

Tickets are selling fast - have you got yours?

On sale now at the School Shop between 8.15am - 4.00pm, Monday to Friday.

A reminder that the Information sessions for the NASA CASE Space School International Study Program are tonight, Wednesday 14 March,

We hope to see you there!
