Brigadier James Hargest

We keep faith | Ka whakapono tonu atu mātou

Brigadier James Hargest was a local and national hero and an inspiration to all those who come to our school. Brigadier James Hargest gave his life in WWII and is buried in Normandy, hence the school’s use of the Normandy Lion, our “Leo.”

Like him, we have a strong set of values that every student is encouraged to aspire to.

We are James Hargest and this is our way | Ko matou tenei Ko tenei mātou

Thanks so much to our awesome PTA for organising and hosting another second hand uniform sale this week. If you have dry cleaned blazers and kilts to sell, or other clean uniform items in immaculate condition, please bring them to the Senior Campus Hall from 4pm - 5pm on Thursday afternoon. We are very keen to purchase your kilts, blazers, trousers, skirts and ties. Cash will be paid at the time of sale. We are not buying school shorts at this stage as we have an oversupply. Shorts and other uniform items not suitable for sale can be donated for families in need. If you are keen to purchase uniform items, the sale is on from 6-7pm on Thursday, also in the Senior Campus Hall. Doors will not open until 6pm. Thanks again PTA - this is a greatly appreciated service you offer the community! ... See MoreSee Less
