It's time to bid adieu to our Swiss Exchange students.
The students joined us as part of The Swiss Exchange where 16 Swiss students were hosted by Kiwi families around NZ from July to September.
This year CHS students Isla Read, Brian Lin and Maddie Phillips hosted the Swiss students and they will be going to Switzerland to stay with their host student over December and January.

The exchange involves students around New Zealand and aims to help them develop their language skills but also helps them learn about different cultures, experience travel and gain more independence. Life long bonds are formed.

The students have been working hard and fundraising to fund thier exchange and thanks too to Pip Feast who runs the exchange

Theatre Sports Success!

Congratulations to our Junior Team (Jellybeans) made up of Mila Cumberpatch, Anu Ragul, Katrina Winter and Mia Vink, and our Senior Team (The Jean Team) made up of Vinnie Proebstel, Delta Ritchie, Summer de Gouviea-Rennie and Hayden Thorne.

Both teams won at the Waikato Schools Theatre Sports Competition on Monday night. This is a testament to their team work on and off stage, the training they do and their enjoyment of performing - all were on show. Thank you to the Cambridge supporters who came to Hamilton to watch them and for being a loud and supportive presence in the audience for our performers.

We are so proud of how all of our teams have competed over the competition this year, and to take home both trophies again was incredible! Bring on 2027!
