| General | Wellington City Mission Support | BLN |
| Kia Ora, Are you interested in helping a group of students from a Y12 Health class? All you need to do is bring in one or some of the following items, and drop them off at our drop off spots: the break room in R1, the international department, or by the library desk! We’re collecting items for the Wellington City Mission Social Supermarket, who have requested sanitary products (such as pads, tampons, etc), unopened deodorant and other personal hygiene products, baking products, and supermarket quality non-perishable food items (canned food, dry pasta, cereal, etc). If you have any questions, you can check the posters which are located all over school (including the drop off locations, stairwells, and in the canteen). Thank you! Ameerah, Beatrix, Devin, Emily, Levi, and Yuka |

| General | Workplace rights session in the Library on Thursday lunchtime | LTH |
| Come learn about your rights in the workplace, what unions are, and the state of the economy. On Thursday lunchtime in the library Craig Renney from the Council of Trade Unions is visiting the library from 1:30pm (so you have time to have some kai beforehand). He'll talk about workplace rights, unions, and the challenges workers face in Aotearoa. He'll also be able to answer questions you might have about any of these issues. If you're working, having issues at work, interested in working in the future, or just want to know more about worker's rights then this talk is for you! All students & staff are welcome. If anyone has questions please contact Mr Lockhart (LTH). |
