Pukekohe High School

Congratulations, Nyle — we are incredibly proud of all that you have achieved and can't wait to see where your artistic journey takes you next.

Competing against 25 teams from across the Bay of Plenty and South Auckland, our students demonstrated outstanding scientific knowledge, practical skills, and teamwork.

Their efforts were rewarded with an impressive 5th-place finish and prize money, placing them among some of the top young chemistry students in the region.

Congratulations on this fantastic achievement and for representing Pukekohe High School with excellence!

Congratulations once again to our 1st XV for representing our school with excellence both on and off the field.

Mauri Ora e te Whānau,

Te Wāhanga Whakaako warmly invites you to join us on Tuesday 23 June 2026 from 4:30pm – 6:30pm for an evening of celebration, learning, and whanaungatanga.

This is a wonderful opportunity to meet our staff , explore what our faculty has to offer, and view examples of your children's mahi. Student work will be on display, showcasing the learning and experiences that take place throughout the year.

Our evening will be led by our rangatahi, who will guide whānau through our learning environments and share insights into what happens within our Te Māhuri and Tūwhitia spaces, as well as our wider curriculum areas.

There will also be a variety of fundraising stalls operating throughout the evening, with items available for less than $5. Feel free to bring a picnic or some kai to enjoy while our rangatahi entertain us with a selection of special items to acknowledge and celebrate our whānau.

We will gather together in Te Hīkoi at 4:30pm for a brief welcome before you are invited to explore our spaces, guided by our rangatahi.

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing an evening of connection, learning, and celebration.

Nā mātou o Te Wāhanga Whakaako

We congratulate Nyle on this exciting achievement and encourage our community to support this highly acclaimed emerging artist as she shares her work with the world.

Adding to the team's success, Matthew Handany was recognised as the Top Player on Board 2, an impressive individual achievement.
