Early Closure on the 22 November
 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 may use the library, which will be supervised by staff. Should your daughter require supervision until 3.20 pm, please complete the Google Form by clicking here. We apologise for any inconvenience this early closure may cause. Mary Curran Principal |

Canteen Payments Online from Next Term - Important Information
 Monitor allows parents to load funds on to their daughter’s student identity card, which can then be used to pay for certain items at school. Each identity card will hold a canteen account and a photocopying account. The My Monitor website is now active. Please click here for detailed instructions on how to access and use My Monitor. Students will have their own My Monitor screen through which they will be able to view their account balances, but they will not be able to add value to the accounts. Later today, you will be sent your login information. Please keep this in a secure place.
