Thank you to everyone for another successful year here at Onslow College. I hope you all get to celebrate having time together with friends and family over the summer break and I look forward to seeing you in 2018. Peter Leggat
NZAQ EXAMS
Thanks to all students for the way they conducted themselves during NZQA exams which have now finished.
