Head Student Ralph Henderson wraps up a very busy sporting week and looks forward to the next few weeks of an event packed calendar.


Kia Ora everyone,


My name is Ralph Henderson and I am one of your head students for 2024! I am super gratefull for the opportunity and excited for what's to come throughout the year.

On the 1st of March through till the 3rd we had the Twizel Area School Rowing Squad take on the South Island Secondary Schools Regatta. The regatta was filled with ups and downs but gave everyone something to take away, grow, and refine their skills. Massive congratulations to the following athletes:

  • Sadie Mason- Un17 2X (Silver), Un17 1X (Gold), Un17 4X (Gold)
  • Hazel Mason- Un18 Novice 2X (Bronze), Un17 4X (Gold )
  • Kiara Thyne - Un17 2X (Silver), Un17 4X (Gold)
  • Hazel Henderson - Un17 4X (Gold)
  • Taylah Marsh - Un18 Novice 2X ( Bronze)

But a big well done to all involved!

Our focus now switches to Maadi so huge thanks for all who have bought supporters gear and we look foward to seeing you down there. I'm sure it's going to be an amazing time for the school.

This Wednesday we have Country High School Athletics which is a great opportunity for our students to showcase what they can do whether in a track or field event, I'm sure everyone will be gunning to give it their all. Good luck to everyone participating, especially those from Ōhau house!


That's all from me; I'm looking foward to see the rest of the year unfold and seeing our school continue to develop the already great environment it has.
