Upcoming Events at Mana College

Event Date Details
Friday 24/04/2026 SPeaker for Y13 students

A guest speaker would like to talk to current Y13 about voting/enrolling to vote.  Just from 9 - 920 (Possibly run into P1)

Friday 8/05/2026 Brian Falkner - Author Visit

I have arranged for the author of our Year 10 novel, Brian Falkner, to come in and give a talk to all of our Year 10s about his creative process writing Shooting Stars and a creative writing workshop. Matt has approved the $420 speaking cost as part of our English budget.

This event would require all year 10 students to be out of their usual P4 and P5 classes, as the workshop will run from 1:30-3pm. This would mean that internal relief can be used for Year 10 English teachers as well as me (TJ) to attend the talk/workshop. I would envision running this in the Hall if available.
