Re-live the energy of our Centenary Celebration. Many, many, many past & present students & staff came together to celebrate 100 years of Ōpunakē High School in a weekend unlike any other – truly special. Massive thanks to James Aitken for capturing all the magic on film & photo. #legend He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata he tangata he tangata! What is the most important thing in the world? It is people it is people it is people!

Too good not to share!
The one & only Pete Clement has managed to free himself from the shackles of teaching.
Not only a PE and Graphics teacher, he has been a huge mover and shaker in all things environmental. He really has put the 'S' for sustainability into our DREAMS values. Pete has been involved in the loop track, riparian planting, trapping, implementing recycling, the food garden, and exposing our students to environmental career pathways both here and overseas. However, he won't be a stranger as there are always more exciting projects around growing students to be kaitiaki of Aotearoa that he will continue to develop and lead.
Enjoy some well earned leisure time Pete!
