An event is held every year in March on the Waikato River.[4]Controversies[edit]In March 2010, a 14-year-old student at the school, Bronwyn Ormbsy-Ward, was assaulted by at least three girls. The attack happened outside school grounds, and video footage was wildly circulated. After viewing the footage, Bronwyn’s mother laid a complaint with police.[5] In August 2011, a 17-year-old and her friend were refused use of school toilets at interval, after finding all other toilets in the school locked. They were also denied use of staff room toilets. Upon returning to the staff room to ‘beg’ to use the toilets, they were told “there’s a bush out there.”Principal Robyn Roa, who introduced the strict policy, later apologised. The girl’s mother, who is writing a complaint to the school’s board, said that an apology was not enough, calling the staff ‘immature’ and ‘pathetic’.[6]Recent history[edit]In 2011, mainly in response to the attack of former student Bronwyn Ormbsy-Ward, of which a video was widely circulated, principal Robyn Roa introduced a ban on all electronic devices, which includes cellphones and iPods. She also said the prevalence of violence among young girls was a worrying trend and was unsure whether it was because they were prone to gossip or whether it was a cultural shift.[7]In 2014, it was reported that the school would replace traditional classrooms with a modern approach to education in an attempt to “restore the school’s once glowing reputation”.[8]Notable staff[edit]Notable alumni[edit]References[edit]^ “New Zealand Schools Directory”.
