Their aim is to empower and equip teenagers with the skills and character to proactively address and defuse issues which they face in their school lives and personal lives. This was a hugely popular event, with students filling the PAC to sing and dance along with the performers.

GARDEN CLUB Carrots never taste better than when eaten straight out of the ground! That's the finding of our Garden Club members who have been working hard on their two garden plots each Tuesday lunchtime this year. Under the supervision of Mr Norton and Mr Conti, the young gardeners have been sowing seeds, watering, weeding and finally reaping the rewards of their hard work as their vegetables ripen! Gardening is a great skill to learn, says Mr Norton. "There's nothing like getting the dirt under your fingernails as you pull up fresh carrots, having a go at digging and raking in fertiliser, or learning when is the right time to put in or pull up the beetroot. These skills can only be obtained by actually doing it and by trial and error!" "The students really enjoy being out in the sun, having fun, meeting new friends and getting some veges to take home as a bonus!" The Garden Club meets on Tuesday lunchtimes at the Horticulture shed, and is open to all.
YOUDANCE FESTIVAL The Dance students are currently preparing to perform two pieces in the prestigious YouDance festival this year. The Year 13 Dance class and the Senior Contemporary Group will be performing on Thursday 1 June, 7:30pm, at Raye Freedman Arts Centre. Tickets available through iTicket (https:// www.iticket.co.nz).

SPORTS REPORT Week 3 Sports Report- 15-21 May
The Year 9 A Boys had a great 2-0 win against Mt Albert Grammar.
Basketball
Hockey
The Under 15 girls had a convincing 53-4 win over Marcellin College on Thursday 18th May. Player of the Day was awarded to Bronwyn Buller and a special mention goes to Mercy Lemisio for evolving her offensive game and to Daphne Edwards for setting the standard on defence. The U17 B Boys had a big win against Waitakere College following last week’s defeat. Standout players were captain Zarif Zainurin, who led the way by scoring an outstanding 25 points, and Francis Intic, who scored 18 points. Zakiah Puia led the team in rebounds and boards, with a total of 9 rebounds and 6 boards. However, MVP performance goes to Pearson Kirkwood who scored 8 of his 14 points in less than a minute of being on the court. The team as a whole played outstanding defence which showed in the final score: 49-16. U15 A Boys lost 57-21 to Auckland Grammar on Wednesday 17th May. The Premier boys had an outstanding game on Friday 19th May, beating Pakuranga College 90-84. Our very young Premier Girls basketball team had a tough game against a very experienced Mt Albert Grammar team. The Avondale girls played with pride and tenacity until the final whistle. Special mentions go to Maclani Michael, Metisa Edwards and Marie Wengert. These three girls came out in the second half with courage, and they provided leadership to the Year 9 and 10 girls who saw their seniors’ example and played with passion and pride. The second half score was 55-27 to Mt Albert Grammar, which reflected the extra resolve and energy the Avcol girls played with. Izabella Rasmussen-LotamDover, Maraea Whiu and Mercy Lemisio are growing in confidence with each outing and, along with Daphne Edwards, Leilani AusagePepe and Ocean Gatoloai, show that the future is looking bright.
On Monday 15th the U15 Boys played Round 2 against Mt Albert Grammar. This was an even tougher game than last week, with a lot of defending required in the first half. We held out the opposition in our circle on numerous occasions, frustrating them and keeping them scoreless, but being unable to hold our possession. About 20 minutes in, Shoma Hirota took the ball at pace from behind halfway and dribbled one-handed past three tacklers to delicately slip the ball past the left of their goalie into the backboard to put us up 1-0, against the run of play. This was an outstanding individual goal. Another close opportunity came when Shivang Patel ran away from the defenders down the right side with a strong cross that went begging. Liam Law-Telea was consistently strong in the mid-field, providing the backbone to our game. In the second half we continued our defensive tactics, trying to slow the game down, which succeeded in choking their continued efforts to score against us. Anoosh Kulkarni made a valiant effort at goal late in the game that was saved brilliantly by their keeper high to his right. The boys were tired at the end of this very tough game; a great effort by the team as we head into Round 3 next week, two games up and arguably two of the stronger teams in the competition now behind us.
Football
The 1st XI Boys had the first round of the Senior Knockout Cup with an impressive 5-1 win over Howick College. The 1st XI also had their third league game of the season in very trying conditions on Saturday morning. Rutherford College were the visitors in the driving rain and the howling winds. The first half was a real war of attrition with neither team able to gain a solid foothold in the game or master the conditions. The home side were on top for the majority of the half but couldn't make any chances that came their way count. The half time whistle blew and the visitors disappeared to the sheds for some warmth whilst Avondale got together to battle the elements and their own thoughts on what was needed for the second half. There was no respite from the arctic conditions but Avondale certainly started the second half on fire! Two quick goals from Joao Abreu calmed the nerves and enabled the team to settle in and control the game. They managed to see the result through with another clean sheet to remain unbeaten for the season and top of the A1 division. The 2nd XI Boys had a successful win away against Massey High on Saturday 20th May. The 3rd XI Boys drew 3-3 with Waitakere College on Saturday 20th May. 1st XI Girls had a fantastic 3-0 win over Glendowie College.
U15 Boys Hockey The 1st XI Boys had a fantastic 5-0 win over Mt Roskill College. Player of the day was awarded to Oliver Cornelius who scored an impressive four goals. 1st XI Girls had a great game against Macleans College on Thursday 18th May and drew 1-1.
Lacrosse
The Premier Girls lost to Mt Albert Grammar 10-5 on Thursday 18th May. Avondale C team had a narrow loss to Mt Roskill Grammar and the Avondale B team lost 10-0 to Whangaparoa College on Thursday 18th May.

lost to Watakere College 50-9. Player of the Day was awarded to Ruta Rasmussen. They also lost to Massey High 44-18. Player of the Day was awarded to Leighton Estreich-Tai. The Year 9 White team played Massey High and lost 13-12. Player of the Day was awarded to Christine Maagdenberg. The Year 9 Grey team played Lynfield College and won 7-5. The Year 10 Black played Kelston Girls and lost 5-14. Player of the Day was awarded to Meleana Niu. The Year 10 White played Lynfield College and won 22-4. Player of the Day was awarded to Serene Forsyth. It was a vast improvement on last week.
Rugby League The U15 Boys suffered a 49-22 loss to Onehunga College on Wednesday 17th May.
Rugby Union The 1st XV's third match of the season against Macleans College was played in freezing conditions with wind and rain battering the players and spectators for the majority of the game. Familiarity with their artificial turf and playing to the weather conditions gave Macleans an early advantage. There were some good probing runs by Dylan Finau and Ezrah Kapeteni. The final score was 17-3 to Macleans. Player of the day was Ezrah Kapeteni.
was a large squad that headed to Sacred Heart College on a cold, wet Saturday. There was a huge amount of excitement amongst the boys, balanced by uncertainty as to how they would fare the first time they played together. Sacred Heart's kick off was blown straight into touch by a howling crosswind which set the tone for the game. Avondale won their first line out, and any fears that this untested team would take a few games to find its feet were completely unfounded. The boys played as if they had been playing together for months. Captain Ollie Carroll had an immense game, leading his team with the benefit of his considerable match experience. The forwards were physical and put the Sacred Heart pack under pressure. It was hard for us to win ball, but when we did our more skilful backs demonstrated a running game which cut open Sacred Heart's defence at the first attempt, sending Jarq Paul in for his first try in the opening minutes of the game. All three of Avondale's tries came from the backs, with Jarq Paul getting a second as well as Filipi Savaka getting his first. Sacred Heart’s tries came from their forward pack's recycling of the ball and this was to be expected considering the Avondale pack had never operated before. The game ended 19-10 to Avondale. It was an extraordinary achievement for an untried team and one that suggests a great deal of potential for the future. The Under 14 rugby team matched up against a strong Liston College team on Saturday. Avondale started extremely well, with tries to Isimasi Tavae and Ola Hoeft giving the team a well earned 12-5 lead going into half time. Liston came out of the stoppage with an increased sense of urgency and attitude which we couldn't match, going down 37-12. However, Avondale showed some very positive periods of play which is a good sign of what the team is capable of going forward in the season.
Squash The Premier Boys lost 12-0 to Pukekohe High on Friday 19th May. The Senior Open A Boys lost 10-3 to St Peter’s College. The Open B Girls had an outstanding 4-0 win over Westlake Girls.
Underwater Hockey The Senior Open team played two games on Tuesday 16th May and suffered 9-0 losses to both Glendowie College and Mt Albert Grammar. Premier Girls Rugby 1st XV Boys Rugby on the artificial turf at Macleans College The 2nd XV Rugby had an impressive 27-10 win over One Tree Hill College. The Premier Girls lost 10-15 to Auckland Girls Grammar on Monday 15th May. The U15 Boys had a tough loss against a much larger Mt Roskill Grammar. After being down 19-0 at halftime, the boys fought back to almost draw level but were held up on the line. Three late tries to Roskill sealed the game. Great tries were scored by Tyler Loomes and David Saia and Player of the Match Corey Wood made some amazing defensive plays. The final score was 34-12. It was the first match of the season for Avondale's 6th Grade rugby team – the first team we have fielded in this grade for many years. With the help of two 1st XV coaches and a lot parental support, it
Correction: Last week we incorrectly attributed a hat trick in the Year 9A Boys football report. Congratulations to Anthony Duncan who scored 4 of the 5 goals!
