Y9 Camps

Nydia-Bay-09

Y9 Camps are always a great way for new students to make new friends and find their place in a new class. The Nydia Bay has been a great opportunity for form teachers to know their new charges as they will look after the students' pastoral needs for the next five years. Here 9SE tramp into their campsite.

Nydia-Bay-09-Firestarting

The academic side of camps is important. Nydia Bay has a long history, both Maori and pakeha. Here Cory Whakatihi, watched by Tony Tandy and Troy Gilmore, rubs a stick of hardwood into softwood to create a spark to start a fire.

Matt-Threadwell-helicopter

Matt Threadwell and two friends arrived in style after winning a nation-wide Number 1 Shoes competition. The school also benefitted with a grant of $1000. The pilot was old-boy Ben Barnett.

Wayne-Hegarty-arrival

New Principal Wayne Hegarty was welcomed into the Marlborough Boys' College community on the first day of term. It was clear from the eloquence of the visiting Rangiora supporters and the affection shown that he will be missed. Their loss is our gain!
