50th Jubilee Celebrations

What an amazing Friday and Saturday! Our open classes allowed many present and past staff and students to see the current learning environments in action followed by a range of performances from our kapa haka, choir, school band, gymnastics and junior school!  Friday concluded with a fun evening in the Rec Centre.  Saturday’s formal celebration saw official speeches from Jan Barnes, old boy Trevor Garrett and a special presentation from Rotary all tied together with MC’s Waveney Parker and Denise Plummer (ex staff members).  Saturday evening’s dinner and dance was kept lively with a non- stop performance from the band ‘Toe Jam’.  It was wonderful to speak to ex students and staff and listen to some interesting stories of their insights of life at Stanley Avenue.  I would like to thank the Jubilee Committee for making this event a real success.
