Dear Parents/Caregivers

Multicultural Pot Luck Dinner With Entertainment

The date of this popular event this year is Friday 21st May - From 7.00 - 9.00 p.m. - Place - School Hall.

The aim of the evening is to celebrate the multicultural element in our school and encourage families to mix socially in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Families bring a dish, preferably from their country of origin, so that everyone can taste a variety of food.

There will be multicultural entertainment after the meal. This is not a fundraising exercise. We charge $1 entry to cover disposable plates etc.

Last year the Hall was full to capacity. Make sure you don't miss out. Fill in the form below and return to the school office. An early return would be appreciated. We look forward to seeing you on the night.

SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk)

SADD is a non-profit organisation which condemns drinking and driving. The Hutt Valley High School Student Council has a sub-committee interested in promoting awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving. One of the strategies available is "A will to live", a signed agreement or contract between parents and teenagers in which they agree to support each other in not driving after they have been drinking or travelling in a car driven by someone who has had too much to drink.

If you are interested and require more information, or a contract form, please see Mrs Sinclair in C17.

Careers Evening

4th May 1999 at 7.15 p.m. - 10 p.m. run by Hutt Valley High School Careers Department in conjunction with Hutt Valley and Pencarrow Rotary Clubs. Please meet in the School Hall.

School Fees

The Board recommends an annual donation of $41.25 per term or $165 per year for each student, with a maximum of $330 per family. Payment may be made in a lump sum, by termly amounts or by direct credit. In the latter case, please contact the school office for details. If you can manage to make your donation as soon as possible the school benefits through the early use of your donation and you gain the earliest possible tax refund. Please contact the Principal, in confidence, if you have any concerns about this matter.
