SCIENCE FAIR AWARD An innovative Science Fair project has not only won Shahd Al-Isawi (Year 13) a $1000 dollar scholarship to study Science at Auckland University, but may hold a key for the treatment of both cancer and diabetes in the future! The 'Black Healer' project was a culmination of two years of work for Shahd and her science partner from Epsom Girls Grammar School. Their focus was to target an issue of international concern, and to find a new, safer alternative treatment for chemotherapy and metformin for diabetes by creating an extract from Nigella Satvia seeds, often known as 'Black Seeds'. The girls identified at which concentration and at which temperature the extract increased insulin sectretion in beta cells and decreased cell viability in melanoma cancer. Over a period of two years, the girls were able to refine their extract and conduct many experiments via cell culture at the University of Auckland, supported by a team of specialised individuals who supervised them through the experiments. The results obtained were remarkable and pose a possibility for a new treatment for cancer and diabetes in the future! The girls won the following prizes at the Niwa Science Fair: - 3rd place overall in the Senior Science category - University of Auckland Junior Scientist Gold award and a $1000 dollar scholarship to study in the field of science at the University - Platinum nomination for the Prime Minister's Future Science Prize, where they are eligible for a $50,000 prize - Platinum nomination for the Powering Potential Prize, also eligible for a $50,000 prize Shahd says that she felt very proud to represent Avondale College at the Science Fair, and she would encourage others to take part in the future. "I believe it will encourage students to find a passion for science the way I have," she says, "as well as enabling the students to develop skills that will benefit them in later life and in tertiary education."

ROCK OF AGES! [CONT.] The high energy Show featured classic 80s hits from legendary artists Bon Jovi, Journey, Styx, Pat Benatar, Poison, REO Speedwagon and more. Audiences had "Nothin' but a Good Time" as they jammed out to reimagined renditions and mash-ups of "Don't Stop Believin,'" "Here I Go Again," "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," "The Final Countdown," and other rock favourites. Set during the tail end of the big, bad 1980s, Rock of Ages followed aspiring rock star Drew (Joshua Parker) and small-town girl Sherri (Kiara Fernandes) as they fought to save Hollywood's Sunset Strip. Congratulations to all the students involved, and to the staff who worked so hard behind the scenes to bring the show to life! - especially Ms Newlands (Director), Mr Stenbo (Musical Director) and Ms Jennings (Choreographer).

TRAVELWISE
AUT REAP MENTORING PROGRAMME This year AUT, with the support of the Ministry of Education, ran a pilot mentoring programme for Year 12 and 13 students from a refugee background. The programme was facilitated by a current AUT student and they ran six one hour workshops over Terms 2 and 3. The workshops were aimed to help develop a supportive relationship where the students were encouraged to explore their aspirations concerning their education, work, social and leisure interests. The group also investigated future careers and tertiary education requirements, with the emphasis on encouraging them to gather information for themselves.
Avondale College’s small but dedicated Travelwise group hosted a Road Safety Expo in conjunction with Auckland Transport on Tuesday 26 September. The focus for the Expo this year was learner driver safety and hazard identification. The group manned stalls to educate students about road safety which included quizzes and a giant game of snakes and ladders. The responsible hosting table was especially popular, with students sampling mocktails and taking recipes home. The Police were also in attendance, with the Booze Bus available for students to look through. The speed camera technology was put to excellent use measuring running speed – one student got up to 27km/h!
