We're stoked that nzherald.co.nz have named St Paul's Collegiate School as the 'most pleasant venue' for New Zealand Rugby's annual U18 high performance camps - and we're pretty proud to host them. 🏉

In addition, our Director of Rugby, Paul Hodder, was named as an official 'good buggar' and we couldn't agree more! 👏🐝

Blair Dean (Year 12) has turned his work experience with Schick Civil Construction into a full-time position! After completing the Waikato Trades Academy programme at Wintec, Blair attended a Schick careers experience day, where students from across the Waikato took part in practical activities and learned more about the company. Blair was selected for an eight-week work placement and impressed Schick with his attitude and work ethic.

As his placement came to an end, Blair was offered his role, which he will begin in Term 4. A great example of how making the most of vocational opportunities can open the door to employment. Wishing you all the best in your new pathway, Blair! 👏
