Posted in General Senior Assembly - Week 7

Date: 13 March 2020

Ms Shea welcomed students to the second full senior assembly of the year. She reminded students that we are already in week seven of an 11 week term and that every student should be striving toward achieving 14 credits in each of their subjects before the end of the year. Every student should be aiming for excellence. We would like to see at least 70% of you achieve UE.

The Community Council is divided into three subgroups.The environment and sustainability group have already been involved in the Mangere Bridge beach clean up and are currently examining the schools waste procedures. The fundraising group will coordinate raising funds for causes like Daffodil Day and the 40 Hour Famine, while the humanities group will raise awareness of important social issues.

 

 To conclude the assembly Holly Hu and Reuben Smith from the Arts Council then introduced a guest performer to the school, Ramon Narayan from Active Education who is a member of the South Auckland Poets Collective. Ramon performed a fantastic Spoken Word poem and encouraged any student who had something to say to join the new OHS spoken word club, LAC Poets. If you are interested in joining this club, keep an eye on the notices or speak with a member of the Arts Council.
