Kia ora, everyone,
Yesterday, a small fire occurred in one of our campus toilet blocks. It was quickly contained, with no injuries reported. The cause is still under investigation. We are committed to ensuring the safety of our students and staff.
Earlier in the day, we had conducted a routine fire evacuation drill. The school community responded with remarkable speed, calmness, and focus. Later, when the real fire happened, everyone again evacuated swiftly and efficiently. Our direct alarm connection to the local fire station ensured prompt assistance.
Visiting students from Sunnybrae Primary joined us in the evacuation, making their trip more eventful than expected! We were impressed by our calm students demonstrating how to deal with the situation.
Congratulations to everyone taking part in the KBB Music Festival this week. Both our Chamber Orchestra Concert Band and our Symphony Orchestra and Stage Band are playing in the Gala Concert at the beautiful Holy Trinity Cathedral. You can find out more about this lovely event and book tickets here.
With only a couple of weeks of winter left to go, I wish everyone a great weekend.
