This week we celebrated some of our amazing Year 9 Students.
Students were nominated by their peers, teachers, and Dean for being students who ‘live’ our school values in a range of different ways.
We celebrated students who are growing in confidence, making academic progress, demonstrating leadership, developing communication skills with teachers, and showing Manaaki by the way they welcome new students to our school. What an incredible cohort of students we have. ... See MoreSee Less

The Year 9 - Term 3 Dean Award was awarded to brothers, Mikael and Gabriel Pana.
Here is what Year 9 Dean, Katie Van Dyk wrote about them:
Mikael and Gabriel Pana are incredible human beings. They work hard in every subject, engage in classroom activities and are respectful to all teachers and staff. These young men are humble in their abilities but are intrinsically motivated to achieve the high-level goals they set for themselves. Most importantly, Mikael and Gabriel are kind people, they are emotionally intelligent and support and care for their peers deeply. He iti te mokoroa, naana i kati te kahikatea. This whakatauki speaks of the mokoroa (grub) being small, but having the strength to cut through the kahikatea. For me, the comparison I find is that hard work and kindness might be small things that can go undetected, but ultimately , they have the have the power to change the world. We are so lucky to have you both at our school. Please know that your efforts are seen and appreciated.

The atmosphere at our recent Murder Mystery fundraiser for the 2025 New York trip was fantastic. It turns out that detective work isn’t as easy as it seems! Everyone got into the spirit of the evening, completing three scientific tasks in their respective laboratories. The competition was fierce, but the winning team was the Science department from Matamata College. Best dressed went to Matamata Vets. Thank you to all those who supported this memorable night. ...
