Wanganui Collegiate School celebrated a long-held tradition at the weekend.
Collegiate weekends happen three times a year and each weekend's focus is on a different part of culture - sport, music, tikanga.
Alec McNab has been helping to organise the Athletics Event at Cooks Gardens during Collegiate weekend for more than 45 years but the event surpasses this.
For students, Collegiate weekends do not just give the opportunity to be a part of something contemporary but help to recognise the history of the school.
Past Collegiate families often join to watch during the weekend, current parents come to cheer their child on, and this year the school invited prospective families to come and experience the unique culture of Collegiate.
Every student, day and boarding, is assigned a house.
