By February 2, 2021General News

MAGS welcomed its 100th cohort of Year 9s today with a powhiri in the FW Gamble Hall.
More than 500 Year 9 students arrived at MAGS today, gathering in the Albertian Quad before being greeted in the hall.
Te Puna o Wairaka students performed a haka before Headmaster Patrick Drumm welcomed the newest Albertians and their parents gathered on the mezzanine floor.
The students were then introduced to Mr Coghill and Ms Yang, the Year 9 Boys and Girls Deans respectively, who assigned them to their Mentor Classes before they met their Mentor Teachers and Peer Support Leaders, who showed them around the school and introduced them to its systems.
They went back to the hall later in the day for the first Headmaster’s Assembly when Mr Drumm spoke about the MAGS Way Values, and other members of staff gave students information about other facets of the school. Year 9s also practised singing the school song for future assemblies.
Year 10-13 students start school tomorrow and will be assigned their Mentor Classes on the day.
