Whāia e koe te iti kahurangi ki te tūohu koe, me he maunga teitei
Pursue excellence - should the you stumble, let it be to a lofty mountain
Here at GCSN we hope the start of Term 4 is going well and you have an exciting term ahead!
Our podcasting competition is wrapping up this week and we also want to remind you of our amazing resources available on the GCSN website ahead of the launch of our brand new resource all about utilising generative AI as a learning tool.
We have lots of exciting opportunities planned for the remainder of 2024 as well as looking ahead to what the 2025 school year has to offer. Keep an eye out for:
