NOTES
NOTES
- Mt Spa = our local cluster involving schools such as Opunake, Matapu, Kaponga, St Josephs Opunake, Rahotu, Manaia
- Keys Program - this is a y7/8 program outlined here, based around senior students earning credits to get a variety of keys, including sports, culture, academic, and service. If a student obtains all four, they will receive a graduation certificate as a year 8 with honours. If they have obtained all four, they can also complete a digi-key as a year 8.
- During the cricket season we also have coaching from Hawera Cricket Club, where a player is sent to coach the cricket teams one day a week.
