Some students in Years 10-12 have still not submitted subject option choices for 2017. As the timetable starts being put together over this break it is essential that these are filled in, signed by student and parent, scanned then emailed back to anne.winnall@marsdenwhitby.school.nz by end of Monday 26 September.  Copies of Y11, 12 and 13 subject selection forms are still available as attachments on MyMarsden.

 What a wonderful smorgasbord of musical talent and variety we were treated to on Tuesday evening! The breadth and scale of talent amongst our students is truly humbling. It was a joyous way to end the term.

Please remember that Monday 10 October is a Teacher Only Day and school begins for students on Tuesday 11 October.  Have a wonderful break and, if you are the parent of a senior student, make sure you assist them and get involved in their study for externals. The best way to know if you understand something is to teach someone else so allow your sons and daughters to teach you what they have been studying in English. History, Maths, Spanish! Who knows what you might learn! He waka eka noa.
