The 40 Hour Challenge is officially underway at Otago Girls'! Our awesome School Council team has set a massive goal: 150 participants and $7,500 raised to help kids in the Pacific region facing severe food poverty.
The challenge is on, with students walking at least 5 minutes every hour for 40 hours straight (fuelled by wristbands and spot prizes). Tomorrow, we're backing them up with a school-wide non-uniform day for a gold coin donation.

👇 If you'd like to get behind the team, you can show your support via the link in the comments below. Our 40, their future!

Incredible news from our music department! Fleur de Clifford has been selected as a finalist in the Peace Project songwriting competition for her song, "Stone Cold Water".
This is a massive achievement, and Fleur is being rewarded with a day in a professional recording studio to record her song, as well as a music voucher. Join us in congratulating Fleur on this well-deserved success!

Shoutout to our Year 9s who competed in this year’s Readers Cup. With some fantastic guidance and strategy from our Year 10 coaches, the team placed 4th —climbing the ranks and beating last year's result.
Proud of you all!

Huge congrats to Annalise Miller on her selection to the NZ U15 Water Polo Development Squad. She’s heading up north this weekend for a selection camp, aiming for a spot on the NZ Under 15 team heading to Australia later this year.
We’re all cheering for you, Annalise! Good luck!

Last week, 15 enthusiastic Enviroschools students rolled up their sleeves to clean up the Townbelt near Moana Pool! Thanks to their hard work, 3 rubbish bags were removed from our beautiful local environment.
Thank you to all the students for your fantastic effort, and a sincere thank you to Keep Dunedin Beautiful for generously supplying the cleanup equipment.

We are absolutely thrilled to celebrate the incredible success of three of our amazing students in the International Maths Online Challenge!
A huge round of applause goes to:
⭐ Ashling Coffey
⭐ Amy Li
⭐Moana Li
All three of these brilliant minds were placed as Elitists - a prestigious title awarded only to students who score between the 80th and 95th percentile worldwide!
To compete against the brightest young mathematicians across the globe and come out near the very top is a phenomenal achievement.

A wonderful weekend of competition at the NZ Open Aerobics Championships in Christchurch. It’s always a privilege to see everyone’s hard work come together on stage.
