We are pleased to remind you of the invitation for you and your son/daughter to attend our Welcome Evening for students enrolled to begin Year 9 at Papanui High School in 2018. This evening will be held in the school’s hall on Tuesday 12th September at 7.30pm.

Feedback from previous years has indicated that this evening is important in allowing intending students and families to feel a part of Papanui High School and to answer many of the questions they have had.

An information pack will be given out on the evening, including a booklet designed to help explain some of the aspects of a secondary school, a uniform pamphlet, a booklet on sports and clubs, a stationery list, and a reminder list. A uniform display will be set up and information sheets from suppliers will be available.
