Polyfest 2023

Preparation time for Polyfest 2023 was a lot tighter than usual, but AGGS still managed to come home with some impressive results, including wins on the Tongan, Niuean and Cook Island stages, and a placing on the Diversity stage. Congratulations to all students who took part in Polyfest this year, we are so proud of you all. A huge thank you to all the staff and tutors for all the work you have put in, and a special thanks to our fabulous Polyfest Coordinator, Lilly Stowers.

Athletics Day 2023

The AGGS Athletics Day was a huge success for our students this year. With Mt Smart out of action, we opted to head out to Massey Park in Papakura and it was well-attended by our students and was a perfect fit for our school.

Each tutor class was assigned a maunga and a colour, with regular chants practice leading up to the event. Every student who participated in an event received points for their maunga and by the end of the day, the winner with the most points was Maungawhau!

Congratulations to all involved and we look forward to AGGS representing at the upcoming central-east-west athletics zones later in March.

Welcome to 2023 at AGGS

Students should be in the correct school uniform and should bring a pen; no other stationery will be required. For Thursday and Friday school will finish at 2pm. School lunches will be readily available.
