It has been an incredibly busy and reward- ing year. The team have stepped up to run the vital light- ing and sound aspects of the following school wide events: Music Festival, Matariki, Opening Evening, House Choir, Special Needs Concert, Talent Quest, HNPS Social and the Year 11 Suffrage performance (I am sure I have missed a few). This was no mean feat considering the majority of our 28 strong team were new year 9 and 10 members. As I see sunlight for the first time in 5 years, I am happy to report that the incoming 2019 technical team have excellent skills and will continue to shine in the dark behind the scenes. I have really appreciated the support and guidance of Mr Brebner over this time. It has been an honour and privilege to lead the tech team for the last three years. Nick Batey 108
