This week the Wrap Up hits the red carpet at The Shonas, celebrating the launch of The Flannel and the mahi of our senior Media, Moving Image Culture and Journalism students.
In this weeks’ Wrap Up you can buy a ticket to the Library concert on Monday 16 October, or register your attendance for our senior prize-giving assemblies. Read about achievements in Art and the latest library lunchtime lecture from former student Cadence Chung.
All this and much, much more in the first Wrap Up of Term 4.

The final two weeks of term were fast and furious! From EPro8, to political debate, staff vs students sports to our shared dinner for families of refugee and migrant students, not forgetting the return of the Music Evening, there was a lot going on. Catch up on it all in this bumper Wrap Up!

The Wrap Up is back, and in this mega wrap we share Toi Māori’s kōwhaiwhai inspired sign for Taka Kai the WHS canteen, and share details of the canteen’s Kindo app launch. We celebrate School Library week, share successes in Mathswell, Poetry Aotearoa, Japanese speech and Underwater Hockey, and join in celebrations for musical and sporting successes, both at home and overseas.

This week the Wrap Up brings stories of success at the national Toi Wearable Art competition, the NZ Cyber Security Challenge and World Scholars Cup. We welcome the new International students who joined us in Term 3 and shout out our support for the Persian Food and Dessert fundraiser taking place at Newtown School today.
