The Sixth Annual Einstein Olympiad successfully convened 140 Year 9 and 10 students from Rangitoto College and the Mid Bays Kahui Ako schools. The event was designed to rigorously test students’ general knowledge, capacity for logical and critical thinking, and collaborative problem-solving skills. Activities included a Countdown Challenge, a comprehensive Big Quiz covering core academic subjects and general trivia, and concluded with an interdisciplinary Amazing Race across the school grounds. The day fostered active learning and built positive cross-school relationships.

International student Anna Amitage has been having an incredible experience at the Youth Leadership Certification organised by the Global Business Symposium in Sydney. She has enjoyed spending time down under and meeting emerging change-makers from over 40 countries!
The president of the United Nations Association of Australia, Patricia Jenkings, was impressed with Anna being the youngest delegate and even asked to have a picture with her. As the only high school student at the conference, it`s been amazing for Anna to learn alongside and be inspired by so many brilliant young adults.
She is looking forward to her last few weeks in NZ before heading home to England for Christmas! @rangitoto_college_int

Our Year 12 IB students finished their four-week service project with the Knightsbridge Community residents. It was a great way to connect the students with our senior residents, including their oldest resident (101), who joined the final quiz day.
The students provided an afternoon tea afterwards. The afternoon was also an opportunity to farewell staff member Shona McRae who has worked tirelessly on our Knightsbridge projects!

Last Friday, we celebrated our 7th Annual Golf Day Fundraiser on the stunning greens of Pupuke Golf Club in Campbells Bay. It was a spectacular, sold-out event, drawing a full field of 36 teams (144 golfers), alongside tremendous support from our generous community sponsors.
We are thrilled to announce that we raised a total of $26,718! These crucial funds will be split between supporting students experiencing financial difficulties and to enhance resources for our Technology Department. Your contributions directly help us do more for our students and staff, bridging essential funding gaps.
The day couldn’t have been a success without our dedicated food and beverage partners! A special thanks to our major beverage sponsor, The Merchant Pub Co, who kept spirits high all day, and to Pita Pit and Gilmours North Shore for ensuring our golfers were fed and happy on the course.
We are deeply grateful for the commitment of our sponsors, alumni, and parents. Your support is what made this fantastic result possible!

We would like to celebrate the installation of our new statue, E Tipu e Rea (Grow and Flourish), now standing beneath the Pohutukawa in the bus bay. This significant piece is a powerful symbol of collaboration, created through the vision of student Mikey and digitally executed by Ruben Jooste (with assistance from Ben Pollard).
A huge thanks to our staff and the Māori community for bringing this legacy project to life!
