2026 Start Dates and Times

Greetings,

I wish all families a happy New Year with best wishes for a smooth start to your son’s start back to school.

The College staff are all enthusiastically looking forward to meeting our young men and working with them throughout the year in and outside the classroom.

I want to remind you of some of the key dates and times for our start of the College year and to remind our young men of the College expectations of them as they make their preparations to start the year.

  • Thursday January 29th
School starts for all Year Levels 7- 13 at 8.35am
Students will go directly to Year Level Assembly areas.
  • Friday January 30th
Powhiri for new students and staff
  • Thursday February 5th

Our young men have had a good, long break and I am sure are looking forward to starting the school year.

On their first day back Thursday 29th January we expect all students to be at school on time, in full Summer Uniform, we recommend that they wear Leather Sandals in Terms 1 and 4.

Jackets and Jerseys are not required in this warmer time of the term and are best left at home.

Students are expected to be well groomed.

We are confident that our young men can manage themselves to meet these important expectations and prepare themselves for a great start to their school year.

We look forward to working in partnership with our families over the year for the best outcomes for our young men.

God bless

M.Hogarty
Principal
