Howick High School welcomed their new Grade 8 lion cubs at an Orientation event on Tuesday, 20 January. Looking smart in their new uniforms, the pupils were given a guided tour by the school leaders whilst their parents were addressed by Principal, Mr Langley.
It was pleasing to have a large number of Past Pupils accompanying their children at this event, including a third generation.
The Grade 8 lion cubs will participate in a week of integration and mentoring, assisting them to learn our school values and settle into the high school program before they officially join our pride of Rampant Lions.
Pictured are Kim Poole and Shaun Holmes, both past pupils of Howick High, with their son, Nathan Holmes, who has started Grade 8 this year. Shaun's mother, Kathy Holmes nee Hughes, is also a past pupil, and her sister, Lynne Mackay nee Hughes, was the school's first Head Girl in 1967.
15 of our new Grade 8 pupils have parents who are proudly past pupils of Howick High School. See the picture below.
