Term 3 was a time where we chose to give to a charity
that was close to many peoples heart by raising money
for the Hasting SPCA. This is the third year that we have
raised money for them and we know that everyone loves
to dress up as an animal now and again.
Finally this year we let Ms Jones’ year 10 social studies classes take over a mufti day to help with all of the
events, games and activities that they were organising for
Globe Eradicate Poverty week. It was awesome to see
the younger students at this school getting interested in
giving back to the committee and having a better understanding of doing something to help out those in need.

Cultural
The year kicked off with Havestock bringing together the
school and the musicianship groups who entertained
the crowd of students and teachers through the whole of
lunchtime with a mix of tunes ranging from their own groovy
compositions to old favourites. Along with the sausage
sizzle, lollies and face-painting put on by the Cultural
Committee. It was excellent to see the senior students as
well as staff dressing up for the occasion.
Next on the list was Talent Quest. Organised by the
Committee, with the help of Messrs Cargill and Throp,
along with Carmen, Talent quest was another huge
success. With an amazing variety of performers over the
four lunchtime auditions, the 11 finalists were chosen. The
night-time show put on for the Final was an amazing
success showing the vast instrumental, vocal, dancing
and comedic talents of all performers involved as well as
certain audience members. In the end, Campbell Hay
wowed the judging panel and took out Talent Quest 2014.
Members of the committee also helped out both The
Spring Fair and Music Fest, in roles ranging from set up,
to advertising, to playing and even MC-ing various parts
of these events. In all it has been an exciting and action
packed year for the members of the Cultural committee
and we wish the best of luck to next year’s team.
