As you are aware, the two ties worn by students through their time at Massey are the bronze (Years 9, 10, and 11) and black (Years 12 and 13). From the beginning of 2024 our Year 11 students will also wear the black tie – signifying the start of their NCEA journey and identifying them as senior students.

This means that from next year, our junior students (Years 9 and 10) will wear the bronze tie and our senior school (Years 11, 12, and 13) will all wear the black tie.

We would ask that parents of children moving from a bronze tie to a black tie at the beginning of next year please consider donating the bronze tie to the school (provided it is not needed for younger siblings of course) as we like to have a stock of ties on hand to provide to any of our whānau who may encounter difficulty in purchasing them.
