This week marks the last few days of our Year 10’s inter-tutor competition. Students have nurtured whanaungatanga by working together to compete against other classes through general knowledge quizzes, sports, and performances. A great way to end the year! ...

This week our innovative Year 10 STEAM students presented their final projects! Their objective was to explore a potential solution to an issue they have identified in Aotearoa.

Topics included transport, water, food production, waste management, green spaces, and sustainable power production and consumption. ...

The Einstein Olympiad was back and better than ever this year with 140 junior students from Rangitoto College and the Mid Bays Kāhui Ako schools competing in a range of exciting activities. The activities were designed to test their general knowledge, their ability to think logically and critically, and their ability to problem-solve and work in teams. 

It was a fun day of learning, participating, and building positive relationships. Check out a few highlights from the day! ...

Welcome home to Year 13 student Sawooly Li who has just come back from meeting Queen Consort Camilla at Buckingham Palace!

As winner of the Queen’s Commonwealth Essay Competition, Sawooly met a number of Royal Commonwealth Society ambassadors including Philipa Greggory, Geri Horner, and Ben Okri who read an extract from her piece.

Ben also shared advice on continuing to practise writing the way a pianist practises the piano. Sawooly said the experience was once in a lifetime and gave her lots of new insights.

Her group also enjoyed visiting Westminster Abbey, Stratford-upon-Avon, the BCC recording studios, and more.

Ngā mihi to Sawooly on this incredible achievement! You can read her winning piece at the link in our bio.
