Cashmere High School--From Form Six

This year began with the sixth form being proud of a set of very good gained In School Certificate examinations at the end of 1992. Early in the year Mrs. Mitchell and her team of biologists took the sixth form on their outdoor biology trip to Temple Basin. The reports of the amount of completed, the comradeship, helpfulness and general courtesy and politeness of these groups were a great credit to the sixth form. The "In" word to describe these students was "awesome".

Once again it was our year level from which the student representatives on Board of Trustees were elected. Our student body has been very ably represented this year by Miriam Swanson and Kelly Horgan. Sarah Howison and Katrina Burns are two other students from form six who have taken an active in student affairs, Sarah as the Chairperson of the C.H.S. School Council and Katrina as the C.H.S. representative on the Chrlstchurch Youth Council.

Our musicians were once again In the limelight. In the Smokefree Rock Quest, Dave Clark and Robin Wells were members of Oi Vei; Dylan Thomas, Jarrod Moreton and Myles Allpress were men of Tardigrades who were commended for their original competition; and Kelly Horgan was a member of Love Soup, which won the Regionals and gained third place in the Nationals.

Sixth form students have taken part In a wide range of sporting, musical, dramatic, environmental and community activities. Some of our sixth formers played a major role in banning the burning of waste at Princess Margaret Hospital. Many have given service to the school by coaching in their various fields of endeavour.

Our Senior Girls' Basketball Team Included many sixth formers among its members and they performed creditably at the National Tournament during the August holidays.

Along with their activities outside the classroom the sixth form have mostly taken their studies seriously, producing very good results. They have set down excellent study habits as many prepare for Bursary exams In 1995.

It's been a busy and varied year. Well done form 6.
