SCHOOLS
ADDINGTON PRIMARY
School pupils will get a new
school uniform.
Over the following weeks,
new entrant children will
be wearing slightly different
attire.
As a result of re-branding,
the school’s board of trustees
has been working with a new
uniform supplier.
The new kit retains the basic
navy blue base items, but the
school has changed the colour
of its polo shirts from ‘sky blue’
to ‘kelly green’.
The polar fleece jacket has
changed to a half zip and a navy
bucket hat with green under the
brim will also become available
in the future.
All uniform items will have
either an embroidered name
and logo or a logo only.
​The expectation will be that
all students are wearing the new
uniform by the beginning of the
2017 school year.

CASHMERE HIGH School
students won a language
competition recently.
They competed against 242
other high schools throughout
the country.
There were 550 junior students
and 180 senior students involved
in the nationwide competition.
The group of students placed
fifth out of 1110 schools
around the world in the annual
Language Perfect World Championships.
The online competition challenges
students to test their
vocabulary skills through writing,
listening and reading in their
chosen second language.
Over the course of 10 days,
students from across the world
competed to answer as many
questions correctly as they could.
As a result of winning first
place in New Zealand, Cashmere
High received the New Zealand
Association of Language Teachers
winner’s prize.
