Sports teams will be competing on the college fields during the open day and subject departments will have displays and staff ready to answer any questions. The principal will give a brief address to groups of families at 11:00, 12:00 and 1:00.

The enrolment cycle for 2022 begins on the open day with enrolments closing off on Friday 9 July. Enrolment packs can be collected from the college that day. As the college has reached its maximum roll, it is important that enrolments are received by the close off date.

Over the last year, those travelling along Waterloo Road will have seen the construction of a new Library and Information Technology Centre. While the official opening won’t be until Tuesday 1 June, visitors to the open day can get a sneak preview and walk through the beautiful architecturally designed modern learning space.

Louise Thomas has provided this weeks Friday Feathered Friend.

"Nature abhors a vacuum. The old adage has seen the white-fronted terns/tara (Sterna striata) move onto the Petone Wharf as a convenient perching spot for hawking (terning?) for fish. Such sleek birds, they turn on a dime, their brilliant white feathers catching the sun as they dive like professionals into the briny.
The old wharf, stretching almost 400m out into harbour, was closed (although a few foolhardy humans ignore the signs and climb the fence) in January for six weeks (hah!) for “urgent” repairs after the earthquakes over the New Year caused it to slump a bit in the middle. To be fair, the piles are infested with marine worms turning the ancient trunks into so much Swiss cheese and the bolts holding it all together are rustier than my first car, so it wouldn’t have taken much. Having seen a cross-section of a pile, I’m surprised it hasn’t collapsed before now. I am looking forward to it reopening though, I miss being able to walk so far out into the harbour – it’s where all the good stuff happens."
