GBHS Home and School Update
  • Home and School recently sponsored ‘The Plan’, a very informative (Delay) Teen Drinking workshop for parents facilitated by the Public Health Service and Health Action Trust (NMDHB)
    Parents have different views about what, when (age, company and occasion) and how much alcohol they allow their teenagers to drink. If you missed it, it could be worth attending next time it is offered sometime next year.
  • We recently granted a subsidy of $150 to a senior student for attendance to Hands on Otago, a week-long ‘university experience’ which include Humanities, Business and Science.
  • We can assist students requiring subsidy for similar academic endeavours.
  • Thank you to all our Friends of Home and School who have helped us in our fund raising activities during the school year… The Quiz Night, the raffles, and for baking, cooking and assisting at the stalls in the Mystery Bike Ride and the Wood Fair.

We wish you and your family a safe and Happy Holiday!

The Home and School ladies:
Anna L., Anna R., Daphne, Jan, Jill, Jo, Julie, Linda, Lou, ​Vanessa and Cynthia
