Dear HNHS families,
World Cup fever has swept through the school over the past week with our final house event for the term, Inter-house Football, now in full swing. It has been fantastic to watch the action and to see so many students representing their houses and enjoying some fierce but good-spirited competition. The competition finishes on Friday with the fiercest battle of all – the annual staff vs students showdown. I trust the referee has a good supply of yellow and red cards...and ice packs!
Our students have also been involved in a lot of good-spirited competition on stage over the last few weeks and it has been a pleasure to witness such a high standard of performance from so many students. Following my last update, three of our chamber music groups performed at the regional competition and ZACoustic was awarded first place and will now compete at the national final in Wellington. This is the first time in my time at the school (which is quite a while!) that our students have reached this standard in chamber music.
Last Saturday, another three groups performed at the Smokefree Rockquest competition and at the end of the evening, Lily Moore was awarded the prize for best lyrics, Nicholas Squires the prize for best vocalist and Trolley, the award for top band.
