We warmly encourage all whānau/parents and your son to attend our Y8 Information Evening on Wednesday 24 August 2022 at 4pm – 6pm in the College Hall, 5 Stephenson Street.
Our staff and students will show and talk about the opportunities Marlborough Boys’ College can offer your son, followed by a tour of the school for those who wish to, or an informal question and answer session with myself and my Senior Leadership Team. The online Enrolment process will open shortly. We will be communicating with you separately and soon about this.

Vaping is becoming a huge concern for our community. Just the other week The Marlborough Express ran a story about the issues vaping was causing at Marlborough Girls College (see link below). Principal Mary-Jeanne Lynch said she would like to see more public information about the harm of unregulated vape products, including the level of addiction to nicotine that was increasing among young people.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/300642022/bathroom-vaping-causes-school-evacuations Life Education Marlborough has organised a free community event 'Vaping: Learn the Facts' with two guest speakers - Letitia Harding, Chief Executive from Asthma & Respiratory Foundation NZ and Cynthia De Joux from Smoke Free Nelson Marlborough. Letitia is very passionate about raising awareness of vaping as there is so little information available. Cynthia (with support from Reuben Molnar from Hauora Rangatahi, Health Promotion Service) presents vaping education workshops for students at Queen Charlotte College, Rai Valley Area School & Youth Groups, with sessions planned for Marlborough Girls College & Marlborough Boys going forward. This is free to attend and includes an open forum if there are any questions for our guest speakers at the end. It is aimed at parents and teachers/principals with concerns for their students, and for those of us that are unaware of the potential risks, but rangatahi are most welcome to join in. You just need to register so we have your email address to send the Zoom link to. |
