Hillary Outdoors Week Long Camp - 5 spaces remaining!!
12 Mar 2026 – 4 May 2026The Leadership Hillary Outdoors programme delivers life-changing adventures that grow leaders, enhance learning outcomes, build connections and foster sustainability.
Our most popular programme packs a punch in just 5 days! Our high-impact journeys deliver powerful growth during critical years of youth development.
These immersive experiences foster leadership, environmental sustainability, and vital social and emotional learning for rangatahi. Participants engage in outdoor activities that promote teamwork, build trust, and create lasting peer connections in just a few days, results that often take weeks to develop in other environments.
This will take place in term 3 from the 26th to the 31st of July, and has a charge of approximately $1500.

Priority will be given to senior students.

Student Buddies / Ambassadors Required Years 10-12
21 May 2026 – 24 May 2026Kia ora kōtiro mā,
Please contact me if you would be keen to be a buddy for a visiting Japanese student on Monday, 3rd August. I mainly need Year 10s, but also some Year 11-12 students are needed too. You would meet your visitor / buddy at the end of Spell 1 and spend S2-4 with them, including morning tea. Do consider this fantastic opportunity to meet potential international students and to represent our school in a positive way.
Ngā mihi,
Whaea Irihāpeti / EKI
