Waikato Diocesan School for Girls

House Singing never disappoints and last night was no exception! Once again, All Saints Chapel was bursting with spectacular House Spirit and impressive performances from every girl chasing the win in this event, which has been tightly contested since 1931.
Congratulations to winning House Ross, runners-up Scott and third place Shackleton. A special mention to our individual award winners and a massive thank you to Ms Hewitt-McGrail, Mrs Greenslade and Mrs Colvin for their huge input to the evening.

Recently, the University of Waikato hosted their annual Analytical Chemistry Competition. Our Dio team of Gabriella, Sarah, Cate and Jasper competed against 23 other school teams to win first place. This tough competition is open to all Year 13 Chemistry students across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions, making this a massive achievement for our school and these hardworking students.
Well done ladies!
