Term Three Week 7
Academic Support for Seniors Moving Forward
Please have a read over the attached document which outlines how we will be supporting senior ākonga moving forward. Students who are showing signs of falling into the "Group 1" category will be contacted and invited in to meet with us over the next few weeks. Every day counts - seniors can still make significant gains before study leave kicks off next term!
Homework Club
The Library will be open as a study space for students on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday after school from 3.20pm until 4.30pm.
Performing Arts Festival
The Hastings Girls' High School community are thrilled to hold our first Performing Arts Festival at Toitoi on Wednesday 14 September at 6pm. After two years of disruption, we will celebrate together as 'our girl' takes centre stage, showcasing a range of performing arts; a space where they will stand firm in their identity, where their culture will shine. Tickets have now sold out, however, we will be live streaming the event on our Facebook page.
HGHS Senior Ball
Our Year 12 and Year 13 Students are invited to attend our Senior Ball on Thursday 29 September. If you are a Senior Student and would like to attend please complete this form asap, as limited spaces are now available.
