The University of Waikato Experience Trip
Twenty Year 12 and 13 students had the amazing opportunity this week to travel to The University of Waikato for two nights to experience the life of a student. We stayed in the halls of residence, attended workshops put on by the different faculties, and were able to talk to current students to learn about their university experience.
This trip was a great way of seeing if university life is for us and if we can see ourselves in this space. A huge thank you to Waikato for making this experience available to us.
School Production
This year Hastings Girls' High School has chosen to perform the one act play Darklight by Lindsay Price.
Darklight examines depression and anxiety in teens. Characters fight their inner thoughts, search for their truths, and have surreal conversations with death. Some fail, some find hope.
This is a relevant and necessary issue to explore. Whaea Rose (Guidance Counsellor) and Catherine Bentley (Principal) are supportive of the decision to stage this play.
If you are interested in being part of this special school event, register your interest in the link below.
Please contact Mrs Ferguson with any questions regarding the 2024 school production.
Rehearsals will begin Wednesday 21 February.
