Big Sing 2026 💙💛
EGGS had an incredible 209 students take part across the festival, representing the School with energy and pride.
Congratulations to Leogato, our all-comers choir, which received the award for Best Performance of a New Zealand or Pasifika Work for the piece Matariki, composed by Mx Komene and conducted by Saye Kiuchi (Year 13).
Congratulations also to Fiorente, who were named Runner Up for the Excellent Festival Recital by a Junior Choir award. In the Student Piano Accompaniment category, Alice Yu (Year 12) received first place for the second consecutive year, while Saye Kiuchi (Year 13) was named Runner Up.
We are incredibly proud of the commitment, musicianship, and success of these students and staff. Congratulations to everyone involved on these outstanding achievements.

Last week, our Pasifika learners had presentations from Katalina Ma, Pathway Programmes Manager at the University of Auckland, who spoke with students across different Year Levels about subject selection, University Entrance, credits, and preparing for future opportunities. She was joined by EGGS Old Girl Iulia Autagavaia, now a Police Prosecutor, who shared her own journey beyond school and the opportunities that EGGS helped to create.
These conversations continue to encourage our students to see pathways beyond school as accessible, achievable, and worth striving for. 💙💛

A reminder that our Term 2 Pasifika Fono will be held on Wednesday 17 June from 5.30pm in the staff room. We warmly invite all Pasifika families to join us for an evening of connection, discussion, and community.

We are Regional Champions! 💙💛

After months of rehearsals, dedication, and hard work, our ShowQuest team has won Regionals with their powerful performance inspired by the extraordinary story of Nancy Wake. Through dance, music, lighting, and storytelling, students brought to life the courage and resilience of one of history’s most remarkable women.

Congratulations to every student, staff member, and supporter involved in this outstanding achievement.

Come and visit EGGS at Fieldays 💙💛
We’re excited to be part of this year’s event and look forward to connecting with prospective students, families, alumnae, and the wider community.
Stop by our stand in the Rural Living Pavilion (RM138) to learn more about life at EGGS, our opportunities both inside and outside the classroom, and what makes our school community so special.

For two nights, Year 12 Drama presents The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, Bertolt Brecht’s sharp and darkly comic satire exploring power, corruption, and the rise of Hi**er through the fictional takeover of Chicago’s greengrocer trade in the 1930s.
We look forward to seeing our students bring this challenging and thought-provoking production to the stage. 💙💛 Tickets available on iTicket.
