Principal’s Report

Tēnā koutou e te whānau whānui o Rangitoto.

Greetings to you all and a warm welcome to the 2023 edition of Panorama. It has been a privilege to witness the incredible achievements that we celebrate in this yearbook. Every year, we challenge our students to lay a legacy that others aspire to reach, to set the tone and to act as role models in our community. Rangitoto students have certainly stepped up to this challenge over the course of the year, providing many highlights that will live long in the memory.

Globally this year we have seen ongoing division and unrest, with people pulling apart rather than drawing together. In New Zealand, we are often isolated from this and witness this tragedy through imagery and news from overseas. Yet this year we have had our own share of events that have required urgent responses. Growing resilient young people who are prepared for such events, be they emotional, social, or physical, is a significant challenge for our society, and one that will always be a work on. I have been fortunate this year to visit some incredible schools and firmly believe that education has significantly improved over the years. However, the rapidly increasing complexity of young people’s lives brings extra challenges. As our students step out into the wider world, we trust that the values, skills, and friendships they have built will enable them to heal rifts, promote diversity, and set examples that others will follow.

Exceptional academic achievement remains a core focus of Rangitoto, and the efforts of our students have been rewarded with record-breaking results at the start of 2023. Over 200 NZQA Scholarships, outstanding excellence rates at all three levels of NCEA, and our second 45/45 in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, alongside an IB average score of 37 compared to a global average of 30, continued the academic progression that all have worked hard to achieve within our classrooms.

Our ambition to provide great opportunities to grow great students has seen our co-curricular programme continue to flourish, with opportunities in an incredibly diverse range of sports, performing arts, clubs, and activities. With 53 club and activity groups on offer, we have seen new clubs emerge from bouldering and needlework to investment and diplomacy clubs. Twenty-four service groups have made a positive impact in our local community and beyond, with 5,000 hours of volunteer work carried out. Record amounts of money have been raised, an example being our Relay for Life Cancer Society fundraiser which collected $37,000.

In co-curricular activities, our Premier Chess team have retained their New Zealand national title and students have represented New Zealand in Informatics Olympiads in Hungary. The Premier Debating team achieved their highest-ever placing of second in the Auckland Premier grade. Cultural activities have seen our Kapa Haka bracket perform at Ahurea and our Korean and Chinese groups debuting at Polyfest on the Diversity Stage— we look forward to continuing to grow these programmes in 2024.

The resurgence of our Drama Department led to 23 Auckland Live Showdown Award nominations for Shrek The Musical and Puffs. Our dancers gained numerous awards at the DanceNZmade competition, with the Ballet Troupe and Magnum Senior Troupes winning their divisions. Rangitoto musicians continued to shine with a Platinum Award for Best Big Band at the Auckland Jazz & Blues Club Competition, alongside Gold Awards and Best Jazz Combo for the North Sea Combo at the Tauranga Jazz Festival. Rock band The Birds placed first at the Rockquest North Shore Regional Finals.

Sports teams have excelled, with volleyball achieving incredible success, claiming all four national titles in beach and indoor competitions. Pairs Kaia Buckley and Kiana Stevenson, and Ryan Jefferson and Juan Carlos Quintero, went on to represent Aotearoa in the World School Championship in Israel. Swimmers retained their national title, with Sportswoman of the

Year, Summer Osborne making her debut as an Aquafern in the World Championships in Japan.

The all-round success of Rangitoto was recognised with our placing as the top state school in the Crimson rankings, and our recent selection by the international K12 Education Group as one of the top 10 schools to watch in Australia and New Zealand. All of this has been made possible by the talents and attitudes of our students. One of the many joys of teaching is seeing young people succeed in the huge variety of opportunities that we have at Rangitoto while growing into fine people who we entrust our futures with. This is made possible through the commitment of our school staff to providing a world-class education. My personal thanks go to Fay Meiklejohn for leading the school in Term 3 and to our Rangitoto College Board for the exceptional support and guidance they offer our community. Long-serving Heads of Department, Trish Webster and Kate Fenton, are stepping into well-deserved retirement following a combined 48 years of service to Rangitoto.

We are always sad to see our staff move on and thank each of you for the legacy you leave behind and the difference you have made to the lives of our students. In a year that had the potential to divide the education profession, my heartfelt thanks go to our Rangitoto staff for their ongoing commitment to Rangitoto and to teaching. I am truly grateful to work alongside incredible people who give so much to so many.

To our parents and caregivers, my thanks to you for your support and trust, and, most importantly, for allowing us to be a part of your children’s life. To our leavers, I thank you for the energy and leadership you have given our school. As you move forward in your lives, we hope that you will hold Rangitoto close to your hearts and keep in touch as you spread your wings towards a future of amazing possibilities.

Mā te huruhuru ka rere te manu.

Adorn the bird with feathers so it can fly.

I wish you all a healthy, happy, and prosperous end of 2023.

Nō reira tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa.

Patrick Gale, Principal

Board of Trustees

Presiding Member’s Report

Tūngia te ururua kia tupu whakaritorito te tupu o te harakeke.

Set the overgrown bush alight, and the new flax shoots will spring up.

Another year has sped past us, and we are back here once again, reflecting on and celebrating the wonderful achievements of our students. You will read all about the ways in which our students have excelled in their time at Rangitoto College when you read through this Panorama. I couldn’t even begin to do justice to all the opportunities that our kura provides.

I chose the above whakatauki as it speaks to me of the need and courage to embrace change. It reminds us to be open to new perspectives; to leave some things behind and develop new ways and practices which align with our values. Such is the journey to incorporate Mātauranga Māori into our curriculum, developing and practising a kaupapa for our kura that affirms the unique place of Māori in Aotearoa, New Zealand. This is a challenge that our ākonga, kaiako, tumuaki, and school community have embraced. We have already seen the fruits of this labour and will continue to reap the rewards in the immediate and long term.

We are very fortunate to have a well-qualified, supportive, and committed Board of Trustees who take responsibility for ensuring that the expectations of our community are being delivered and that the best resources and facilities are provided and maintained for the benefit of current and future students. The meticulous attention to our financial commitments and obligations continues unabated despite the challenging times ahead.

A word of thanks to our staff, our students, and our families—thank you for your commitment, your generosity of spirit and the way in which you support the vision of our school. A special note of thanks to Fay Meiklejohn for her steadfast leadership when she stepped into the role of Acting Principal during Term 3. The Board of Trustees recognises your unwavering dedication to our kura and our community and acknowledges the many hours that you worked above and beyond to ensure that the vision and the delivery of our strategic plan were maintained throughout your time in the role.

There is so much that our kura delivers for our students and our community, and it is always difficult to highlight just one event as there are always so many from which to choose. I wanted, however, to make special mention of the Summit Academy Dinner.

The Summit Academy was established in 2011 to recognise former students for their leadership, excellence in their field of endeavour, and contribution to society. It is a time when we come together to celebrate the achievement of the honourees and provide inspiration to our current students so that they may look to the future with confidence, hope, and ambition. There is so much talent to fuel that inspiration. You need only look to the walls of the Auditorium foyer, reading the summary of achievements, to encourage you along your pathway to success. I look forward to the addition of many more of you who will join our illustrious Summit Academy honourees in the years to come.

To lead a school such as Rangitoto College requires courage and determination, and we see those qualities in abundance with Principal Patrick Gale who continues to provide challenging opportunities for staff to grow their area capabilities and career aspirations which in turn nurtures the growth and excellence in achievement for our students. The responsibilities and the time-consuming nature of the role are relentless. The sabbatical that Patrick was able to take in Term 3 was both welldeserved and long overdue given the challenges that he has met and overcome during his time as the Tumuaki of our kura, not least of which was the response to learning through the Covid-19 era. I know that Patrick has returned with a renewed vigour and the Board of Trustees looks forward to continuing the productive working relationship that has been established over the years.

To the students and staff who will return to us in 2024, we look forward to sharing many more opportunities to connect and have meaningful exchanges and to supporting your plans for success and celebrations along the way.

To our staff and students who are leaving us, particularly our Year 13 students and student leaders. Thank you for your tremendous contribution to our kura. During your time at Rangitoto College, my hope is that you have been supported and nurtured to be your true self. I trust that you will have memories that you will reflect upon, long after you have left your high school studies behind you. In some future time, we would be honoured to receive you once again in order that you might share your post-school journey to inspire future generations and allow us once again to celebrate with you.

Kia hora te marino, kia whakapapa pounamu te moana, kia tere te kārohirohi i mua i tōu huarahi.

May the calm be widespread, may the ocean glisten as greenstone, may the shimmer of light ever dance across your pathway.

Fa’afetai lava ma ia manuia.

This year has been one of change for the Rangitoto College PTA Committee. Several long-standing committee members have stepped down during the year. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the following members for their long service and dedication to the PTA and school: Suzanne Putnam for five years’ service with the final two years as the PTA President, Lucia Liefting for coordinating the operation of the second-hand uniform shop for six years, and Lynda Twidle for her services staggering over the last 10 years as the PTA Treasurer and currently the second-hand Uniform Shop Manager. All three of them invested substantial time and skills to ensure that the PTA achieves the objective of continuing to support the school initiatives and that the Secondhand Uniform Shop continues to operate smoothly for the benefit of the Rangitoto community.

This year we have welcomed Raymond Liu as our President and recently, Holly Fang as our new Treasurer. We are also fortunate to have a great team of new volunteers at the Second-hand Uniform Shop, including Catherine, Hester, Clara, and Flora, who are committed to opening the shop every Friday at lunchtime during school terms, once a month on Saturday, and during the summer in December and January.

The Second-hand Uniform Shop not only provides students and parents with the alternative of recycling the use of good-quality uniforms, but also allows us to support the school financially through purchasing chattels (e.g. the school van transporting students in arts performance or sports events) and funding school initiatives (e.g. well-being seminars). We are planning to purchase a covered trailer that can be towed behind one of the school vans to carry the students’ luggage, music, and sport equipment.

We have improved the operation of the Second-hand Uniform Shop using the Hand Me Round system. The new online system allows parents to upload details of the uniforms that they want to sell. It also allows prospective buying parents to check the stock level online, to save themselves from disappointment when visiting the shop. If you have not already checked out the new online store, please visit: https:// handmeround.azurewebsites.net/RTTC/home

In addition to the uniform shop, our PTA continues to support other school events including the Scholarship Breakfast and Parents/Teachers Conference and Enrolment Evenings. To know more about us, please visit: https://www.rangitoto.school.nz/parents-students/parent-teacherassociation

Head Students

When reflecting on our five years at Rangitoto College I have nothing but appreciation for the people around me. The class of 2023 has provided so many memories and wonderful experiences that it makes saying goodbye so hard. The academic achievements are worth celebrating along with the fact that we have completed 13 years of school, but it’s the friendships and bonds that have truly defined my college experience. As a cohort we have laughed together, supported each other’s successes, and been there for each other, and these moments have been my highlights through college. As we stand at the threshold of a new beginning, I like to look back on our college years to acknowledge the challenges we’ve overcome, the friendships we have formed, and the knowledge that we have gained. I’m so proud of every person in the class of 23 and I wish everyone the best for bright futures ahead. I want to express my gratitude to all staff members and peers for their constant support, dedication, effort, and help. You all have played a huge role in my time at college. As we leave behind our familiar halls of Rangitoto College, let us embrace the future as our experience here will help guide us as we navigate our path ahead. – Kaia

Buckley

you and I wish us all success and happiness in our future endeavours, as we start the next exciting chapter of our lives. – Nicolas Ouwehand

As my time at Rangitoto College draws to a close I am filled with endless gratitude and pride to be graduating with the class of 2023. I am extremely grateful for the wonderful cohort I have had the pleasure of being a part of. I am both humbled and thankful and as we leave college, our memories of friendships and experiences will not be forgotten. I thank everyone whom I have had the pleasure of knowing during my time at Rangitoto, as the cornerstone of our college experience has been an amazing group of peers or rather friends. I am incredibly appreciative of the opportunities that Rangitoto College has provided us and our families who have supported us. I thank our teachers who have enlightened us, not just in their respective fields, but in life’s broader lessons. I am confident that we will benefit from them every day of our lives. I leave Rangitoto College with the knowledge that true accomplishment is attained when we utilise our talents and abilities in a way that is both personally fulfilling, and more importantly, has a positive impact on others. As we step out into the world, it’s crucial to remember that our education does not end here. Instead, it serves as the foundation upon which we will build our future. So congratulations class of 2023—thank

Student Leaders

Reflecting on my five-year journey at Rangitoto College, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of honour and privilege, not only to attend the school but to have had the opportunity to give back. Serving alongside my fellow Student Leaders has been an incredibly joyful year and every task we undertook was driven by our deep sense of gratitude. I extend my heartfelt thanks to the Rangitoto College community, including its dedicated teaching and support staff. Teachers who generously dedicate their lunchtimes to provide us with the support we require, thank you. Whether it was assistance with extracurricular activities or catching up on schoolwork, your unwavering kindness and commitment to going above and beyond to encourage us to achieve our personal excellence have truly defined our college experience. To the friends I’ve had the privilege of making on this rollercoaster journey, you have not only injected laughter and love into my life but have also shaped me into a better person. Together, we have made cherished memories that I will never forget. As we prepare to embrace the future, I cannot wait to see all the wonderful accomplishments our cohort will continue to achieve. To those returning to Rangitoto next year, I implore you to seize each day and all the opportunities that our college offers. – Hayun Seo

Reflecting on my time at Rangitoto, I feel most proud of the people I’ve shared this time with. While everyone has had their fair share of challenges over the past five years, my small, nervous, Year 9 self would have found great comfort and excitement in foreseeing the friends and memories that I would make. This year, it’s been a privilege sharing the role of Head Student with Kaia, Hayun, and Nic. I’m proud of what our teams have accomplished, and I have cherished our experiences with the wider student body. Getting to know the successive year levels has made me excited for their future, particularly the Year 12s who I know will be excellent Year 13s in 2024. I would like to thank everyone who has made these years so special—the teachers and staff, my peers, and my family—all of whom have shown me how to lead with compassion and humility. To the class of 2023—thank you and congrats for the past five years! Our paths will diverge from here in many ways but what can’t be taken away from us is the time spent together at Rangitoto and the memories we share. – Joshua Peng

Alumni

The Community Relations Department, headed by Sally Thompson and assisted by Xenia Moschopoulos, manage alumni events and communication, as well as sponsorship and fundraising within the college. The team has successfully organised the Golf Day Fundraiser, the 1950s Reunion, and the Summit Academy Awards Gala Dinner this year. We manage staff events like the Staff Welcome BBQ at the beginning of the year and the Staff Christmas Party on the last day of school. We have also secured multiple sponsorship opportunities for our Sports Department and funds for our annual Pīpīwharauroa Festival.

Our biggest fundraising event is the annual Golf Day Fundraiser which was held on Friday 28 April at Pupuke Golf Club. The day was an amazing success with $25,660 raised towards our Hardship Fund for students wanting to participate in sport and the purchasing of piupiu for Kapa Haka.

The Summit Academy Awards Gala Dinner was a special evening where we welcomed alumni, parents, staff, and friends of our community to celebrate four honoured graduates of the college: Nigel Avery, Jenene Crossan (Ngāi Tahu), Peter Connor, and Erica Stanford MP. You can read their inspirational biographies on our Wall of Fame in the Auditorium foyer.

Commerce

our

Year 9 and 10 BEC

As per usual, the highlight for our Year 10 students in this year was holding our annual market day as part of the Pīpīwharauroa Festival at the end of Term 3. The theme in 2023 was Te Whenua (connection to the land). Students thoroughly enjoyed the process from planning their stalls to selling to the local community on the day. Prizes were awarded to the groups who best met the theme.

Students also enjoyed a new topic based on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). They learned why CSR is important for business success and loved playing the stakeholder game.

Our Year 9 students enjoyed getting a taste of the three Commerce subjects—Accounting, Business Studies, and Economics. The revamped Economics unit included new sections where we discussed the values of manaakitanga, whakapapa, and whenua and we looked at how they influence decision making. Students also learned how sectors of the economy are interdependent and enjoyed discovering what goods and services New Zealand imports and exports.

Year 9 & 10 DGT

Year 9 students in Digital Technology have used their creative talents to express their views around the United Nations development goals. These have been achieved through a wide range of digital outcomes which have included infographics and games promoting positive messages and information about our local beaches and oceans.

Year 10 students created websites around college clubs and events and enjoyed expressing the interests connected to them. In one example, a student showcased their photography and shared skills and tips through several well-designed webpages.

and business concepts.

Accounting

As well as reporting financial information for a sole trader, our Year 11 students covered personal financial decision making. They spent time planning for a holiday at two overseas destinations—researching their costs, preparing a cash budget, and using financial and non-financial information to make an informed decision about which holiday option to choose.

In Year 12, students learnt to use Xero accounting software to set up an accounting system, record transactions, and generate financial reports for a fictional business. Specific processes in two important parts of a business operation (accounts receivable and inventory subsystems) were studied.

Our Year 13 students focused on partnership, job cost, company, and management accounting. They also examined the profitability, liquidity, cash management, and share market performance of Restaurant Brands Ltd, factoring in the current and possible future economic environment, and using this information to make an investment recommendation regarding shares in Restaurant Brands.

Business Studies

This year in Business Studies, there has been a fantastic amount of innovation and creativity. All our year groups have sold their products to the public this year. The school Market Day for the Year 11s was a success and an introduction to the life of an entrepreneur. In Year 12 and 13, the students showed off their innovative and sustainable products at local markets and through e-commerce platforms to reflect the changes in consumers’ buying trends. Across the year groups, we have seen a wide range of products. These have included planter pots made from flood damaged tea containers, a Brazilian and Chilean Cookbook, 3D puzzles, and handmade soaps.

Outside of their business activities, students have been honing their business skills by investigating marketing, human resources, and growth strategies among plenty of other topics. This has allowed students to have practical knowledge of how businesses can prepare in the ever-changing commercial landscape of the future.

This year was another busy year in the Commerce Department as we created our new Level 1 courses for 2024 and we worked with our local Iwi, Te Kawerau ā Maki to enrich

courses with Māori values

This year, we welcomed Sabrina Luck and Lynn Basri. At the end of Term 3, we farewelled Roberto Di Muri as he returned to the world of investment banking.

Economics

This year has been another interesting year for the NZ economy with a particular focus on the rising cost of living. This combined with the NZ General Election resulted in some thought-provoking discusssions in our senior Economics classes.

In Term 1, our Year 11 students enjoyed researching the decisions a business of their choice makes about resources, expansion, and non-price competition. A highlight of the year for these students was a trip to the Tip Top ice-cream factory during Term 2. Here we explored the concept of interdependence—investigating how Tip Top has mutual reliance with all sectors of the economy.

Our Year 12 students particularly liked learning about inflation this year—a topic very relevant given the current economic climate. Our Year 13s also enjoyed the macroeconomic topic of their course and had fun predicting and then presenting where they believed NZ was on the business cycle.

The NZ Economics Competition was held in June. It is a competition organised by Auckland University and sat by close to 3,000 students. Our High Distinction winners were Summer Bailey, Cheuk Wing Leung, Sophie Lee, Alice Hout, William Li, Andrew Li, Mingqian Norrington, Eileena Bao, and Daniel Leece. Congratulations to these students.

Programming

Our Year 12 Programming students have continued to enjoy the challenge of setting up their own Local Area Networks and testing them for security vulnerabilities. They get to trial them by hosting community games and develop encryption protocols to ensure user data is not compromised. Year 13 students have further developed their knowledge and skills in formal languages to create sophisticated software applications.

Multimedia Technology

Senior students have had the opportunity to explore a wider range of digital multimedia projects including 3D modelling of industrial design concepts based on the context of natural disasters. In one project, a student developed and modelled an autonomous search and rescue snake like robot. Another student used special effects to make videos educating audiences on natural disasters that can occur here in New Zealand.

Year 11 Digital Technology and CPG

Our Year 11s have had an enjoyable year creating their own websites and computer programs. For many this has been a new learning challenge while for others an opportunity to extend and explore their coding skills and creative flare. The retro games emporium continues to be a popular choice for our budding coders, while others have been opting to showcase how-to-guides for some very creative hobbies and passions. One student showcased their own artistic techniques in drawing and painting with video tutorials presented elegantly on their own website.

We have seen students in Year 12 work through the rewritten and revamped Level 2 CPG course. Students have been learning to code with micro:bits in a more practical way to make plant monitoring devices that use sensors, light, and audio outputs to inform users how best to look after their plants.

Design & Visual Communication

Another year has flown by, with students given numerous opportunities to design within real world contexts, exploring digital technologies in the effective visual communication of their product and spatial-based ideas and design outcomes. Students were able to develop potential solutions to everyday needs, opportunities, and problems.

Designing within the local community—its land and people— were central to many of their designs, with many students surveying the needs of the people who frequent areas prime for re-development and an improved vision for the aesthetic and functional use of the environment and public spaces.

Students have enjoyed the range of assignments created, which foster their creativity, innovation, and critical thinking skills. They are well-versed and prepared for academic success right through to Scholarship level, with noteworthy results attained over the years. Students are well-equipped to enter all manner of creative endeavours, beyond school, and further their study in fields, including product design, architecture, urban planning, and engineering.

English

This year may have been an unusually wild, wet, and windy year, but it has also been a fun and productive one. Much has happened in the English sphere, including the birth of three beautiful little girls: Erica Hugo, gave birth to Hailey in June, Jess Kitt gave birth to Ava in August, and Simon Gabion-Sheehan and his wife had their baby daughter in September. Congratulations to all the new parents!

The corridors of E Block have been buzzing before school, at lunchtime, and after school with many activities happening around the building. We are home to the Rangitoto Reporter Journalism Club, the Junior Debating Competition, the Creative Writing Club, the Novel Writing Club, and the Letters to Strangers Club. Students can also be part of the Ancient Greek Club, the Candy Waves Club, and the Needlework Club. We have Scholarship tutorials every Tuesday morning and Junior Shakespeare rehearsals in Terms 3 and 4. There is so much on offer for students to enjoy and get involved in at the college, and it is inspiring to see all the students and staff participating in these activities as well as all the sports and other activities around the school.

Interminable bloom

Amid dusk when the sky was peppered sour orange and the sun sat sideways we watched a notch of a meteor blister and break above us.

We’re watching history, she squealed, hands trembling. Make a wish, he replied, his voice tipping and tumbling into orbit.

She squeezed her eyes shut and I did too wanting beyond belief at that blushed collapse of something so unwordly. We wished on that keystroke ribbon of interminable bloom, dragging itself across the country and overflowing the horizon believing that it flew for us.

Because it was just us in that moment, together, gazing skyward, believing that each of our wishes were justified, and so everlastingly endless.

by Jamie Trower

In May, the extension classes were lucky enough to go on a trip to the Auckland Writers Festival, with highlights being the award-winning American writer Jason Reynolds, as well as ex-Rangitoto College student Chloe Gong, whose best-selling books include the Secret Shanghai series. The Year 13 students celebrated our annual Literature Day in June and heard speakers from the University of Auckland on aspects of literature. We also welcomed back another ex-Rangitoto student, journalist, and poet Jamie Gower, who performed some of his beautiful poetry and spoke about his life. Jamie gave a brilliant performance, and we hope he will come back again next year.

Our focus this year has been on the new Year 11 Rangitoto Diploma which is being rolled out in 2024. We are excited about the course that is being offered in English and believe that our students will both enjoy and be challenged by the ideas and material presented. Our curriculum now includes more New Zealand literature, and our aim has been, in particular, to add more Māori and Pacifica writers into our courses, as well as current writers from Asia and other parts of the world, as we think this will bring interest and a sense of recognition for Rangitoto College students. We aim to help our students develop their identities and be proud of who they are and where they are from. We will, of course, continue to teach a selection of the best world literature, including Shakespeare and other works from the canon, and aim to give our students a global understanding of the depth and breadth of our subject.

In each year, there are also the sad moments when we have to say farewell to people who move on from the College. This year, we were sorry to say goodbye to Rebecca Jessup, a wonderful teacher and colleague, who has returned to her old school in Hong Kong. We also farewelled Paula Walters, who, after a year of leave in 2023, has decided to take a longer break from teaching. Paula is a dedicated teacher and a valued staff member who is much loved by her students, and we will miss her very much.

Two people in the department who returned to teaching this year, and we were delighted to welcome them back from maternity leave, are Mila Pasfield and Jenny Matthews. Both returned in the second term after spending time with their little girls. We also welcomed several new staff to the college: Annie Finnie, Emma Poyner, Rachel Candy, Phoenix Bright-Young, Lydia Grasberger, and Natalie Barrow all joined the English Department in 2023. They have jumped wholeheartedly into college life and have fast become part of the whānau.

As always, our wonderful relief teachers have repeatedly saved the day for us. Sue Russell has again been a full-time member of the department this year, a wonderful, caring teacher, and a generous and invaluable colleague; we literally could not function without you! A special shout-out also goes to Estelle Seaman who helped a number of times for when teachers were away for extended periods. Thank you so much, Sue and Estelle, for all that you do for us.

Thank you, also, to Kathy Pillbrow who runs the Resource Centre, keeps E Block looking beautiful, and takes care of the staff and students in the department. She makes us laugh and is always ready with a piece of advice and a helping hand. Thank you, Kathy—you are a treasure!

I would like to wish the English and Media staff a wonderful and well-earned summer break. Let’s hope the sun shines these holidays! Thank you for all of your generous spirits, your colossal capacity for hard work, for going above and beyond every single day, and for making coming to work an absolute pleasure. It has been an honour to work with you again this year. Aroha nui.

Christine Parkinson, Head of English

Media Studies

The arrival of A.I. and ChatGPT forced us to consider the future impact technology might increasingly have on our lives, while Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter stirred the debate about free speech amid the commerce of social media. Cinema had a resurgence again as Barbie and Oppenheimer both brought people back to the movie theatre. Meanwhile, the writer and actors strike in Hollywood called into question the impact the streaming giants have had on the very creatives they have built their empire upon. Alongside this, the King’s coronation and FIFA Women’s World Cup captured global attention and “up the Wahs!” became the cultural catch cry of the year.

We had four classes of Year 13 students who started the year with their film production, working through the first term to develop their concepts for their short film noir sequences. This is always an eventful process, with all the ups and downs that befall creative endeavours. However, our students once again produced some amazing work, crafting films that gave us dramatic tension and suspense. Editing is always a hard-won effort, with meticulous hours spent ensuring cuts flow and the music works to punctuate the action and drama on screen. Year 13 production is always one of the highlights of the year for students.

Our Year 11 students began the year investigating their own media usage and consumption. It is very clear that the traditions of film and television as the main form of entertainment is no more. It has now well and truly shifted towards social media as the hub of all engagement, with almost constant interaction with TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram amongst teenagers. The media entertainment space is constantly moving and there is no lack of choice for our attention and entertainment. Our students also dipped their toes into their first experience of film production later in the year. It gives us great satisfaction seeing these young filmmakers gradually master the camera and turn their ideas to life in the editing room.

Our Year 12s had a great year exploring media representation and had a core focus on exploring the shifting nature of the horror genre and its monsters. Hollywood always plays on the contradiction between art and commerce, often choosing to play it safe with audiences. Through our investigation our students gained a perspective that true creativity and innovation often happens at the fringes. Streaming platforms along with new voices and new perspectives are re-invigorating horror cinema, pushing its boundaries. These ideas bring something new to a tried-andtrue recipe, broadening the capacity of genre to scare and unsettle us.

ESOL

T his year has been remarkable for the number of new students joining our classes throughout each term. In Terms 2 and 3 respectively, the equivalent of two new classes of English language learning students joined us. For the first time, since our foundation and reception courses began, we had two classes this year.

This year has also been one of changes in staff for ESOL. We welcomed Charmeyne McCollin from the United Kingdom as a new full-time teacher in our department. We greatly appreciated having Chiharu Waller with us in Terms 2 and 3 while we were waiting for Chermeyne to arrive.

ESOL is a subject that combines aspects from across the New Zealand Curriculum (NZC). While we mainly try to address the English learning area of the NZC, we must also apply principles from the Learning Languages learning area. Many of our courses also encompass knowledge often associated with the Social Sciences learning area too. Furthermore, students in our Foundation and Reception English Language Learning courses (FRELL) are taught language and concepts from the NZC learning areas Science and Mathematics. For both our teachers and our students, the rich knowledge demanded by the nature of our subject keeps everyone engaged and challenged.

Structured literacy has long been integral in our department. Learning about such knowledge as text-types, text purposes, the role of audience, and even the inherent biases both writers and readers bring to a text is fundamental to the rich knowledge English users need in academic and everyday contexts. Every year, students in our ESOLPR (Pre-Intermediate ESOL) classes study the poetic text-type haiku. This is just one example of the way, even at an elementary level, students’ learning in ESOL extends beyond just vocabulary and grammar (which, of course, are also very important). Once again, following a tradition we’ve had for some time now, some of our best ESOLPR students’ haiku work is presented here.

By the time you read this issue of Panorama, it’s hoped that we’ll all be enjoying sunny, warm weather. If you’re a student reading this, keep reading! Don’t just read all of your Panorama yearbook but read a novel (or two) over the summer holidays. Reading (in both English and your first language) is essential to success at school and in life!

Gateway & Pathways to Employment

Our Gateway and Pathways to Employment Programme has had another busy year with four classes of Year 12 and Year 13 students. As in previous years, the teachers of the classes were all Deans which added another layer of individual pastoral care to our students, in addition to the rest of the Careers team.

The start of the year involved students learning and researching career pathways to discover what may be a good fit for them so that they could try out different work experience options. For most students, the highlight of the Gateway and Pathways to Employment Programme is having the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with a work placement of their choice. Industries included

construction, electrical, social work, automotive, plumbing, retail, real estate, early childhood, teaching, personal training, boat building, and more. We thank all of our wonderful employers for giving students this opportunity to prepare themselves for whatever their future plans may be.

Courses were also run during the year with a Great Success customer service course and a Problem-Solving course. Students also attended courses individually based on their employment interests, which included health and safety, flight attending, barista, animal care, early childhood, adventure tourism, hair and makeup, interior design, rugby refereeing, and others. This laid an excellent foundation for their next steps.

We also had various speakers present to our students so they could learn more about their industry. This included presentations on marine and technology, electrical, building and construction, and employment rights.

So, what’s next for our students? Some are returning to school, others are going on to tertiary study, some onto full time employment, and a number are starting, or have already started, an apprenticeship.

Gateway and Pathways to Employment provides an excellent platform for students to make informed decisions on their future and we wish them all every success in their career journey.

Health & Physical Education

Junior Health & Physical Education

The Junior Physical Education course continues to encourage our students to become lifelong learners who are responsible for their own hauora while supporting their peers. The two-year programme provides students with engaging and independent learning where they develop a range of interpersonal skills.

In Term 1, our Year 9 students participated in a unit called Rangitoto Mover, where they learned a range of interpersonal skills and social responsibility in a physical activity setting. The Year 10 students applied different motor skills and tactics to traditional sports and games.

In Term 2, both year levels developed their knowledge around the biophysical principles and how the principles can be applied to improve performance.

During Term 3, Year 9 students participated in the Physical Activity for Life unit and the Year 10s, Train for Life. Both cohorts explored a range of methods of training and principles of training, and how they can improve a variety of health and fitness components. The students are encouraged to apply this knowledge into their own lives to enhance their hauora now and in the future.

To complete 2023, our Year 9 cohort focused on the unit, Part of a Team, where they developed and demonstrated the skills of a team player, coach, manager, and captain, and the importance of each role. The Year 10 students used their creativity to create a game to demonstrate their leadership and interpersonal skills by leading the class.

Senior Health Education

Year 11

Students in Year 11 Health began the year continuing to learn and develop their understanding around wellbeing and focusing particularly on the Te Whare Tapa Wha model. The classes enjoyed the opportunity to begin to interrelate the dimensions of the wellbeing models we looked at as well as begin to learn about different interpersonal skills. These skills were put to the test as each class travelled over to the AUT Millennium Institute and put the knowledge they had learnt about interpersonal skills into practice through a rock climbing session with the added challenge of trying to climb the wall blindfolded with only their partners to guide them.

As well as this, the classes learnt about the importance of maintaining and managing changes to enhance relationships before concluding the year with our exam which focuses on drugs and alcohol, personal wellbeing, and decision making.

Year 12

In Year 12 Health, we encourage our students to become critical and perceptive thinkers of our social world. The learning is underpinned by the core concepts of this subject area with an emphasis on how these social issues impact hauora of individuals, others, and society.

Term 1 required students to develop a comprehensive understanding of resilience. The students explored a range of adverse situations and recognised strategies to support challenging and difficult changes that occur in our lives. Term 2 focused on the concept of health promotion, where students participated in social actions in addressing their chosen health issues. Connections with the wider community such as Northcross and Murrays Bay Intermediate enriched the students learning.

Sexuality and gender influences and issues remain as dominant controversial topics in the world. Students continued to develop their critical thinking by investigating the embedded cultural norms that contribute to gender and sexuality in Term 3. To complete the year, our Year 12 cohort analysed a range of adolescent health issues—mental health and social media, body image, and alcohol and food related issues.

Senior Physical Education

Physical Education has provided students with knowledge into a range of biophysical principles. At Level 1, our year started with an interesting and challenging assessment learning about functional anatomy and physiology and how they link to performance. Students applied this knowledge to a range of practical situations including the Swiss game of tchoukball, basketball, and volleyball. Our Level 2 students unfortunately got off on a challenging start with our camp at Motutapu Island being cancelled. Our staff are now very experienced at dealing with this adversity and giving our students great leadership options within the confines of the school.

Students at all senior levels enjoyed practical classes with a range of assessment methods. This range includes leadership, biophysical, and societal influences. Students also enjoyed sessions at the Millennium Institute of Sport and JUMP.

It has been very pleasing to note the high standard of work produced as students continually challenge themselves to strive for excellence.

Year 13

Our Year 13 Health course aims to provide thought provoking lessons and activities designed to challenge and educate students around current societal norms relating to current health topics.

In February and March, the Year 13 health classes of Rangitoto College had the privilege of partaking in physical activity sessions and learning about the benefits for mental health. Jack Caunter is a personal trainer who owns his own gym on the North Shore. He took the students for two sessions and discussed the relationship between mental health and physical health. The main ideas within physical activity as a form of health practice included: resilience, relationships, sleep, nutrition, and cognitive thinking.

In Terms 2 and 3, our students learnt about ethics as well as the drinking culture in New Zealand. Through investigation into these topics, they are challenged to look at both sides of the argument, allowing them to develop the skills of critical thinking.

Scholarship Health & Physical Education

Congratulations to the 15 students awarded Health and Physical Education Scholarships in 2022. These students are in the top 3 per cent of all Level 3 Health and Physical Education students in New Zealand. It was an amazing result for Rangitoto College, gaining 19.25 per cent of all Scholarships awarded, while also being awarded two out of the top 10 (20 per cent) Outstanding Scholarships for 2022. A special mention must go to Ashley Huddart who again achieved fantastic results with 23 from 24 and second top Health and Physical Education scholar in all of New Zealand, one behind her Top Scholar Award from 2021.

The success of previous recipients has been a catalyst for generating interest from a wide variety of students in this year’s programme. In 2022, we have 60 students in the cluster group and an additional 30 students in the 13PSS Scholarship programme, all of whom are passionate about exploring societal issues that impact wellbeing.

The programme got underway early in Term 2, with students participating in eight weekly interactive tutorials centred around gaining further Health and Physical Education knowledge and applying critical thinking skills to challenge perspectives on relevant issues in society. Unfortunately, due to strike actions some of these sessions were pushed back to Term 3.

Throughout Term 3, students refined their Scholarship topic and began the research process. Students required a lot of self-motivation and dedication. Utilising their mentor teacher for personalised feedback and guidance during this stage has been instrumental in supporting students to produce a report that aligns with the marking criteria.

Well done to all 2023 Health and Physical Education Scholarship candidates for your tireless commitment to the programme. We look forward to seeing the results next year.

Sports Science

Rangitoto College students continue to enjoy Performance Sports Science (PSS) across all three year levels. PSS has changed over the years but still has a focus on extending, challenging, and encouraging students to achieve highest accolades.

The Year 11 programme focuses on setting strong academic and physical foundations on which are built in Year 12 and 13. Unfortunately, this year the Year 12 students were not able to attend the annual outdoor education camp, but alternative arrangements were quickly made so that they could still demonstrate their leadership potential and gain NCEA credits.

The Year 13 Programme is heavily directed towards writing and completing a Health and Physical Education Scholarship report. Once again students have excelled in their abilities to think critically on a range of topics and compile work which is so well regarded.

Well done again to all students and teachers who have worked tirelessly and contributed to another successful year in PSS.

International Baccalaureate

Taught over two years in Years 12 and 13, the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme is taken as an alternative to the New Zealand national examinations (NCEA).

The IB Diploma Programme is designed to be both academically challenging and holistically balanced. In addition to their six chosen subjects, students take IB CORE comprising of CAS (Creativity, Service, and Activity components to balance their academic strengths), an Extended Essay (a self-directed research project that culminates in a university style 4,000 word essay), and Theory of Knowledge (a critical thinking course). This level of intellectual and personal development is unique in a secondary school curriculum and we are proud to offer it here at Rangitoto College.

Exam Success

We started the year extremely well with outstanding IB results. Congratulations to all of our 2022 exam students! We are extremely proud of our IB examination success. Not only does our cohort pass continue to be well above the world average— our students average 37 points, 11 per cent above the world average—our students continue to excel and our results are up with the best in the world.

We are especially proud of the following highlights:

• For the third year running, 100 per cent of our students passed the IB Diploma.

• Junzhe (Richard) Li gained a perfect 45 score which puts him in the top 1 per cent of IB students globally.

• Junju Schwarz, Alex Kang, Sawooly Li, David Zhu, Olerato Sibandze, Kent Oishi, and Alex Zhang gained scores which put them in the top 3 per cent of IB students globally.

• Caitlin Hodge, Bhanavi Micarelli, Sam Ranger, Marilyn Chen, Lucas Hebberd, Julia Lim, Elizaveta Rasskazova, and Kent Oishi gained scores in the top 10 per cent globally.

• Bilingual Diplomas were gained by Bhanavi Micarelli (Italian & English), Stan Flagel and Fred Pecquex (French & English), Rose Sun, Kevin Pan, Eva Ruan and Tommy Huang (Chinese & English).

Scholarships

Three of our IB students have gained scholarships into prestigious universities across the world.

• Sawooly Li and Caitlin Hodge both won full academic scholarships to Princeton University.

• Kamana’o Morton won a full sports scholarship to The University of California, Berkeley.

Our students continue to gain entry into universities in New Zealand and the best universities across the world including: Imperial College London, Toronto University, Utrecht University, University of Amsterdam, University of Sydney, University of Melbourne, University of Auckland, University of Cote D’Azur, and Michigan State University.

IB Classes

We are pleased to announce that IB now offers the following new subjects:

• Visual Art

• ESS (Environmental Systems & Societies)

We are pleased to continue to offer Rangitoto’s IB only subjects:

• Psychology

• French We also continue to be impressed with our students who choose to self-study Literature or Language and Literature in their mother tongue. Recently, we’ve had students undertake courses in Arabic, Dutch, German, Korean, Russian, Macedonian, Portuguese, Italian, and Malay. These alongside our already wide language offering of Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese, and English B.

TOK

The International Baccalaureate (IB) program features unique experiences like the Theory of Knowledge (TOK), which enhances students’ critical thinking and understanding of knowledge’s nature and application. This sets TOK apart, emphasizing both intellectual and personal growth.

Our visit to the Auckland War Memorial Museum in May immersed students in the TOK curriculum, aiding their preparation for the TOK exhibition. They drew inspiration from the museum’s array of significant objects, particularly those related to Māori culture, for their presentations.

CAS

Rangitoto College students excel in crafting CAS Portfolios as part of their IB Core, encompassing a range of in-school and community activities. These experiences, often reliant on student volunteerism, not only boost university applications but also cultivate the IB Learner Profile traits, including risk-taking and skill development. Rangitoto College enhances this with Activity, Creative, and Service Days.

For Activity Day, the 12IB Group ventured to the Sir Peter Blake Marine Centre, pushing boundaries through new challenges.

Creative Day saw students exploring activities like knitting, drawing, and writing, with some collaborating on projects and others pursuing individual passions.

Service Day involved collaboration with Te Hōnonga a Iwi at Rosedale Park, where students will participate in ecological conservation tasks like tree planting and site clean-ups.

Year 13 Biology Trip

The Year 13 IB students enjoyed a trip to Auckland Zoo. This included a chance to walk around the grounds as well as receiving an educational talk on the topic of human evolution. This was of particular interest to the students, as human evolution is not specifically covered within the IB Biology curriculum. The zoo trip allowed them to see the application of their topic, Evolution and Biodiversity, within the real world.

IB Students’ Wider Achievements

• Yeonsu Na made his debut on the international stage and represented Korea in the ICF Junior World Champs Canoe Slalom which took place in Krakow, Poland. He is also in the ICF Talent Identification Programme (TIP) which is a development camp run by the ICF (International Canoe Federation). Yeonsu is fortunate that he was given this additional opportunity and we know he will make the most of it!

• Lucie Knight passed the International French Exam called C1 DALF which comprises listening, reading, writing and speaking. Students who pass this four hour exam can express themselves fluently and spontaneously. It’s the standard required for entry to certain grandes écoles, such as l’Institut des sciences politiques de Paris or l’École Polytechnique.

• Lucas Lui took part in the New Zealand Schools’ Debating Championships which were held in Wellington in May. Year 13 IB student, Lucas Liu, represented Rangitoto College in the Auckland team. Competing in seven debates, Lucas and his team addressed important and relevant issues such as youth mental health and education systems. We look forward to seeing further excellent results from our own IB students and NCEA students in debating!

• IB Students Dowoong (Peter) Yang and Minwoo Kim, along with two NCEA team members, (Haechan Noh and Joshua Hang), competed in the NZ Engineering Science Competition. They were assigned the question, ‘How much power does NZ need to adopt generative AI?’ The results of the competition will be released in November. We wish them luck!

Languages

Chinese Chinese Bridge Speech Competition

This year we had six students from Year 9 to Year 11 compete in the annual Chinese Bridge Speech Competition. There were Nathan Blunden and Lola Weston in Year 9, Eint (Olivia) Htut and Kate Thynne in Year 10, and Kaietsu Ikeguchi and Rammiz Rehman in Year 11. It was wonderful to see these talented young people engage with students from other schools on their Chinese learning journey. Olivia was awarded the third prize in the junior category, and Rammiz placed third in the senior category. Nathan, Lola, Kate, and Kaietsu each received a merit award in the competition. Congratulations to all!

Dragon Boat Festival

Celebrating festivals is always one of the highlights when comes to language learning. This year our Chinese junior classes had an opportunity to taste some authentic cultural food. Zòng zi 粽子 sticky rice dumplings is a traditional food eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival. Nowadays, it is a public holiday—people enjoy watching the dragon boat race and tasting homemade or shop-bought zongzi 粽子 during this special day.

French

In the Term 3 holidays, 12 Year 12 and 13 French students travelled to the South Island to attend the Akaroa French Festival—a biennial event celebrating the unique culture and heritage of New Zealand’s only French settlement in the harbourside town of Akaroa. At camp, the students showed off their culinary skills by preparing Frenchthemed meals including a Master Chef-style competition; the star dish being a restaurant-worthy boeuf bourguignon. On the second day of the festival, students attended a historical re-enactment of the many brave souls who came to call Akaroa home: from the first Māori to the whalers, and then the French and German settlers who arrived on board the Comte de Paris ship in 1840. This experience brought to life everything learnt in the local museum earlier in the week. All in all, participants had five magical days exploring the Banks Peninsula and immersing themselves in French fashion, music, cuisine, and culture, sprinkled with a bit of a joie de vivre and je ne sais quoi.

Japanese

This year the Japan Day celebrations were held near the end of Term 2. It was an opportunity for senior student language leaders and Japanese teachers to recognise, celebrate, and share Japanese culture with all Rangitoto College students.

Japan Day was full of fun activities as well as delicious Japanese food. Students could take part in Japanese activities such as kendama, origami, and anime-styled illustration contests in front of the Auditorium. They could also purchase sushi, ramune drinks, miso soup, onigiri, and Japanese souvenirs. Students from all the different year groups in the school participated in the Japan Day events and went away with more knowledge about Japan and an increased appreciation of Japanese culture, food, games, and lifestyle.

Spanish

This year, Rangitoto College hosted the 19th annual National Spanish Debate Competition. Held on 23 May, the competition featured 13 participating schools—becoming one of the largest in the history of this event. Students are encouraged to engage deeply through a full immersion day of Spanish, with STANZA (Spanish Teachers Association of New Zealand Aotearoa) challenging students with a variety of topical moots over the course of the day.

Thank you to all the students and staff who helped ensure the day was a success, and congratulations to all the students who competed on the day.

Learning Support

The Koru Programme is a small multi-level class, which offers students opportunities to practise skills they will need for their pathway beyond Rangitoto College whilst gaining some NCEA credits along the way. It is designed to meet the needs of each individual student, offering assessments at Level 1 and Level 2 and at a supported level. It follows a more practical approach with students creating CVs, practising interview techniques, learning how to use money, and creating a budget. We also offer support to enable students to attain their driving license. In addition, we complete World of Work activities, including work experience placements in the local community when appropriate.

Library

This year has seen some big changes in the Library. Our long-term manager, Trish Webster, retired at the end of Term 1 and Cherrill Hurley has been on leave for Terms 2 and 3. Fortunately we have three new faces in the Library, Haidee Roberts, Elizabeth Ott, and Anna Woods, who have been working hard to look after our students.

The Library continues to be a busy space with Book Club, Rainbow Rangi, Crochet Club, and individual tutoring held in the reading rooms throughout the year. Break times, including before and after school see large amounts of students studying and relaxing in our space.

Our Year 9 Readers’ Cup team won the North Shore final this year and went to Dilworth College to compete in the national finals. Congratulations to the team, Alston Huang, George Xu, Jewel Zhang, Melanie Zhang, and Yixuan Liu.

Blast off into reading was the theme for this year’s Library week and our specially made Rocketship took pride of place in the Library. Students had a lot of fun with competitions, puzzles, a sticker mosaic, and photo booth. Congratulations to all our winners.

The Library’s two core business strands are supporting students’ learning and encouraging reading for pleasure. New library books are added to our collection throughout the year to inspire and assist students. We have an all you can carry policy for lending and encourage students to borrow books over the summer break. Our Library catalogue, eBooks, and audio books can be accessed on PC School—quick links—Library eBooks or Library catalogue. Follow the instructions on the Library homepage to download electronic or audio books.

Finally thank you to our Student Librarians who help our Library to run so smoothly. Farewell to departing Year 13 students, we appreciate your hard work and dedication to the Library over the years and wish you all the best on your further endeavours. We look forward welcoming new Student Librarians next year as well as our returning Student Librarians.

Staff News

At the beginning of Term 1 we welcomed three new teachers to the department, Dominik Wellenhofer, Ellie Yamaguchi, and Kirun Trippe. Ellie was a former student at Rangitoto College, and Kirun had done his teacher training with us so we knew them well. Dominik brought NCEA experience with him from another school in New Zealand and IB experience from overseas. In addition we welcomed Dr Dilek Celik as a teacher to the department. Dilek had worked with us as a teacher trainee as part of the Waikato University teacher training programme in 2022 so we were thrilled to have her back as a teacher.

In addition, Lauren Walles gained a welldeserved promotion to Across School Leader with a responsibility for numeracy in the Kāhui Ako. This led to Graeme MacDonald taking over her leadership role as Assistant Head of Department and Curriculum Leader for Level 1, and Jade Cattanach taking over Graeme’s role as Curriculum Leader for Level 2 Statistics. Jade also took over responsibility for Numeracy within the College.

During the year we also recruited Munesh Govender and Anna Pointon, both of whom bring experience from New Zealand and overseas schools, plus we secured the services of an excellent new long-term relieving teacher, Gillian Crowe.

Competitions, Extension, and Acceleration

The past several months has seen great success in maths competitions in Rangitoto College. The Maths Competition Club has grown exponentially, with weekly sessions to extend the keen students. The student leaders organised and ran the selection and training of our Mathex teams for the second year. A big thank you to Allen Li, Jonathan Sun, Sophie Wu, John Cai, Eileena Bao, and Kris Wan for all their efforts and the smooth running of the selection run off. In the most recent Auckland Mathex Competition, our Year 10 team won the championship, and both the Year 9 teams did a fantastic job.

Rangitoto College students enjoyed a great deal of success in the Otago Junior Mathematics Competition with eight students placing in the top 30 nationally for their year group, with Alston Huang placing first in New Zealand for Year 9, Gwang Ho Kim second place in Year 10, and Leo Wang third place in Year 11. What a fantastic result! Apart from the top prize winners there was much strength and depth to celebrate given 115 out of 135 entrants were awarded merit or higher awards. In addition to a strong showing in the Junior Math Competition, we await the results of our students’ efforts in the Australian Mathematics Competition and the New Zealand Senior Maths Competition.

A new club specialising in Mathematics Olympiad has been established to train students who would like to try Math Olympiad locally or internationally, thanks to Yeonsu Na, Allen Li, John Cai, and Alan Sun. Rangitoto College students performed wonderfully in Math Olympiad Competitions so far this year. In the Inter-school Mathematical Olympiad, Allen Li placed third in the senior session, and John Cai won a gold medal, with another six students winning three silver and three bronze medals. In the Auckland Mathematical Olympiad, Alston Huang, Leo Wang, and Gwang Ho Kim placed fifth, sixth, and seventh in the junior session and Allen Li was seventh in the senior session. Furthermore, students did so well in the first round of New Zealand Mathematics Olympiad that eight students from Rangitoto College have been selected to sit the second round in late August.

The college continues to offer students the opportunity to join extension classes aimed at providing them with the support and breadth of curriculum required for Scholarship Calculus and Statistics. It is pleasing to note that 2022 was a remarkable year with 22 scholarships in Calculus and 15 scholarships in Statistics.

Junior Curriculum

Year 9

Mathematics helps us understand the world and provides an effective way of building mental strategies. The study of Mathematics encourages logical reasoning, critical thinking, abstract or spatial thinking, problem-solving ability, and even effective communication skills. The Year 9 Mathematics course solidifies and builds on mathematical skills learnt from previous years. The year started with a short introductory unit developing students’ ability to better communicate their mathematical thinking. The content strands of the NZ Mathematics curriculum studied this year were Number, Geometry, Algebra and Patterns, and Graphs. The assessment regime this year has focused, not only on topic tests, but also ongoing quizzes on topics taught earlier in the year. With this regular retrieval practice, students will be better equipped to take on the junior exams later in Term 4.

Year 10

The Year 10 Mathematics course solidifies and build on mathematical skills learnt from previous years and starts preparing ākonga for senior levels of study. This year the Year 10 students have been exploring different strands of mathematics in order to become strong mathematicians. The strands they have been exposed to include measurement, geometry, algebra, patterns and graphs, probability, and statistics.

Something new and exciting this year was that our Year 10 students were given the opportunity to take part in the new NCEA Numeracy corequisite. While exams can be a scary encounter, our students were able to embrace this new form of assessment and see it as a learning experience.

Having been exposed to both mathematical and statistical concepts, our students are more equipped to make informed decisions about their future in mathematics.

Senior Curriculum

Level 1

Level 1 is an important year to not only develop foundational knowledge that students will take with them into Levels 2 and 3, but also to demonstrate their abilities in formal assessments. Our students in Level 1 this year have shown tremendous resilience in being able to adapt to a wide array of challenges that has been put before them so far: cyclones, flooding, days of rostering home, along with ongoing illnesses that have taken them away from the classroom. In spite of all that, the results have been tremendous and our students are in great shape.

In Mathematics towards Algebra, our students have learned a variety of topics designed to give them a solid understanding of both algebra and statistics. Their internal assessments of Trigonometry, Linear Algebra, and Multivariate Data have given them supplementary knowledge in addition to their external assessments of Algebra, Tables Equations and Graphs, and Chance & Data.

In Mathematics towards Statistics, our students have worked to develop a thorough understanding of Statistical concepts, represented in our Multivariate and Chance & Data topics, but rounded out through Trigonometry, Linear Algebra, and Measurement.

In Mathematics Extension, our students have been challenged to extend their thinking to standards beyond Level 1 in both Sequences and Series (Level 2) and Linear Programming (Level 3). These standards in addition to Algebra, Tables Equations, and Graphs and Geometric Reasoning will allow these students to continue their growth and high expertise in the subject of Mathematics.

In Mathematics for Numeracy, our students have worked very hard to develop their foundational abilities through a variety of topics such as Geometry, Linear Algebra, Bivariate and Multivariate Data, and Trigonometry. The efforts of these students to earn their numeracy qualification has been inspiring to their teachers and we are proud of their results this year.

Level 2 Calculus

Senior Mathematics can be challenging, beautiful, powerful, and fascinating. Wherever problems need to be solved, Mathematics is usually involved. It is fundamental to the study of engineering, virtually all science subjects and useful for many other subjects. More and more careers need a good knowledge of Mathematics. This year 250 of our Year 12 students have had the opportunity to further develop their logical reasoning and problem-solving skills in the context of algebra, calculus, and trigonometry.

Our students have continued to maintain their focus on their studies of Mathematics in 2023 through floods, cyclones, and rostering home and must be commended for the success that they have achieved in their internal assessments about coordinate geometry as they explored mathematics related to the Bermuda Triangle, graphs which could be used to model some of Dali’s art work, and trigonometry which they used to explore safety considerations about javelin throwing.

The end of the year was about their two externally assessed topics— algebra and calculus—and careful preparation for the end of year examinations. These two topics lay the foundation of knowledge required

for Level 3 Calculus and understanding them well is hugely important for success in Year 13 Calculus.

The team of Level 2 Calculus teachers wish all of their students well in their future studies and hope that those studies will include some Level 3 Calculus.

Level 2 Statistics

Our Year 12 Statistics students have had an enjoyable 2023, despite the interruptions faced in Terms 1 and 2. It is delightful to see that our students continue to develop resilience, resolve, and confidence, undeterred by the disruptions they have faced during their academic careers at Rangitoto College. The Level 2 Statistics teachers have been impressed by students’ advancement through the course, and they look forward to seeing many familiar, and new, faces next year in Year 13 Statistics.

The Level 2 Statistics course introduces students to critical skills and insightful statistical knowledge that will help them in Year 13 Statistics, and beyond. In our course this year, students were given the opportunity to gain NCEA credits through designing a questionnaire, conducting an experiment, making an inference, designing a simulation, evaluating a report, and understanding probability methodology.

Level 2 Mathematics

Our Year 12 Mathematics students have demonstrated tremendous growth in their mathematical abilities this year. Despite the significant interruptions to their learning with a cyclone, flooding and days of rostering home, they have persevered and shown resilience in accomplishing their goals.

Our students have been able to gain significant statistical knowledge through the experiments, questionnaires, and probability topics we have worked through this year. They have also been able to improve their algebraic abilities in both the Coordinate Geometry and Trigonometry topics. Finally, they have been able to put their mathematical ideas to practical use in our Networks topic.

We are very proud of the accomplishments of our Year 12 Mathematics students this year and hope they continue their Mathematical journeys next year in Year 13 Mathematics.

Level 3 Mathematics

Students taking this course were lucky enough to study both mathematical and statistical concepts during the year. While studying the maths standards, students learnt how to solve problems that required finding optimal solutions. The statistics standards enabled students to learn how to construct a report that also allowed them to further develop their literacy skills. Students that had the most success in this course had high attendance and displayed good time management skills.

“I have enjoyed my time I have spent in 13MAT. Over the course of the year I have learned useful knowledge and skills. In my 13MAT class there was a good environment where I have made beautiful friendships. Even though I struggled with my maths, I persevered in 13MAT to become an expert.” - Alex Hebberd, Year 13

Level 3 Statistics

Students that choose to study this very valuable course learned to select and analyse statistical data to make informed recommendations which they presented in written reports. They also designed and ran randomised

statistical experiments to test causal hypotheses. For example, one team of students, inspired by the war in Ukraine, tested Year 9 and Year 13 students to discover that sudden loud noises affected them now more than in the past. Students ended the year by learning a rigorous approach to critiquing media reports to avoid being misled and help them to make more informed choices in life.

“Throughout the course of Year 13 Statistics, the experience of learning various topics has provided me with insights into real world statistical scenarios. I’ve enjoyed the engaging class discussions with other students which has further deepened my understanding and enjoyment of the subject this year. I highly recommend considering Year 13 Statistics to anyone as this course includes essential life skills for interpreting real life data in work and daily scenarios. Additionally, it teaches us to think logically, enabling us to assess the validity and reliability of different research studies. This allows students to make well informed decisions regarding future information they might encounter.” - Olivia Lemmon, Year 13

“It’s been an absolute pleasure to have taken Scholarship Statistics this year. The opportunity to see a group of motivated people used to learning the best answer, having to take a step back and develop their critical thinking skills, has developed the way I think about real life scenarios from an analytical perspective. The chance to develop my critical thinking skills is one of the main take-aways I have from this course.” Sophie Johnstone, Year 13

Level 3 Calculus

It has been a challenging year for our Year 13 Calculus students to gain the knowledge required to excel in this course with the interruptions due to weather at the start of the year and the interrupted learning that they have experienced for the entire time they have been a senior student.

Year 13 Calculus has three external NCEA examinations: Complex Numbers, Differentiation, and Integration. The majority of the content learnt is new skills, and concepts are often applied in real world applications. It has been inspiring for teachers to see students rise to the challenge, enjoy the journey, and experience success in this extremely demanding course. Many of our Year 13 Calculus students are balancing high workload subjects on top of extra-curricular involvements. This requires commitment, planning, focus, resilience, and a significant amount of work.

We look forward to seeing their hard work reflected in the NCEA examinations and wish them well with their continued journey in mathematics, many through the study of engineering at university.

Performing Arts

Music

This year the Performing Arts curriculum was back to normal after several years of Covid-19 related restrictions and we were all very happy about that! No more screens, masks and/or rehearsal bans— even trips were back on the menu.

One take-away from the past years was the positive effect our units on practicing had on the overall success of our students. Therefore, we made the decision to include those knowledge-rich units permanently into our curriculum at all year levels.

For 2023, we decided to further expand the knowledge-rich”\approach from last year and develop and trial strategies in support of this:

1. A knowledge-rich approach to creative work in the Performing Arts (e.g., composition, choreography and devising), and

2. The intent to incorporate elements of Mātauranga Māori, or indigenous Māori knowledge.

Both contexts appeared to be connected in regard to the iterative design principles of modern design concepts (e.g. visual art) and the philosophy and meaning behind

Dance

This has been a successful year filled with many highlights in the Dance Department. Our students have regained a sense of rhythm and normality after the past few years’ disruption, which has paved the way for some truly exceptional group work to occur this year. Our junior students have excelled in both performance and choreography growing their understanding and skill set in both areas and working to an exceptional level.

kōwhaiwhai patterns in Māori art. Through the exploration of our school’s unique pattern (Te Kiko o Rangitoto) and waiata, students will learn and experience the knowledge of both worlds—indigenous and modern NZ—to inform their creative decision making.

What these two examples of knowledge-rich infusion in Performance and Composition are clearly showing is the trend to “not just” teach towards an NCEA assessment, but instead towards meaningful and powerful knowledge of the world around us. We believe that this approach will not only challenge our students more towards reaching their academic and artistic potential, but also equip them with a wide range of relevant knowledge which is transferable to a multitude of tasks and professional contexts in NZ way beyond their secondary school years.

The students are getting it—if you have any doubts, just ask them to show you their practice log: I promise you’ll be impressed!

I would like to express my gratitude to all staff in the Performing Arts for their tireless work through some very challenging years.

Markus Fritsch, Head of Music & Performing Arts

A big highlight for our senior students is Choreography by Candlelight, which is an evening showcase of all senior students’ choreographic works. This year we had so many friends and family show up to support these students that we only just squeezed into the Dance Studio! Our senior students performed a range of assessment works which they have been working on throughout the year and it was a wonderful evening of creativity and collaboration.

Another highlight of the year was getting back to the theatre to see a live show! Our senior students were treated to the matinee showing of the Royal New Zealand Ballet’s performance of Romeo and Juliet. We had a fantastic time at the show, which always inspires our students to see what they can strive for and attain and assists with boosting energy and creativity for our student’s own performance and choreographic works.

One other highlight had to be the annual Dance Showcase held at the Bruce Mason Centre. With over 240 dancers taking to the stage to perform and showcase their hard work from across the year. This was especially a highlight for all our dancers and wider community. The transferrable skills our students learn at an event such as Dance Showcase are ones that they keep forever and create positive memories of their high school experience. We are thrilled to be looking ahead to 2024 and the plans for future for our young dancers. One final congratulations to our dance students on a wonderful year, and to our Year 13 dancers, we wish you every success for the future ahead.

Jennifer Maxwell, Head of Dance

Drama

It has been a whirlwind year for Drama. We were very pleased to welcome Heather Warne into the department this year, and what a year it has been!

Our students have been busy developing their knowledge of the context of Drama, as well as growing their performance skills and their understanding of the fundamentals of production. New Zealand has a booming theatre industry and the Drama department looks to help build students towards a career either on the stage or behind it. Through the study of Drama our students learn the key skills of communication, reliability, resilience, self-discipline, initiative, critical thinking, creativity, and divergent thinking (the ability to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions). We work as an ensemble, building a safe space for students to express themselves creatively. We implement vertical teaching where appropriate— this is where students work with others across year levels to help inspire younger students and to help build leadership skills in the senior ones.

Senior Drama

This year our Year 13s have focused on verbatim and New Zealand theatre. Verbatim is theatre which uses the actual words of the people at that moment in history. For their production work, the Year 13s worked on the verbatim theatre piece The Laramie Project. This highly emotional piece of theatre looks at a community coming to terms with the murder of Matthew Shepard, a young gay university student. Our students then attended the highly provocative, resonant and unforgettable The Haka Party Incident at Te Pou theatre in Henderson. Another piece of verbatim theatre, The Haka Party Incident resurrects the eventful day in 1979 when a group of University of Auckland engineering students rehearsing their annual tradition of a mock haka are confronted by the activist group, He Taua, and the consequences for those involved in this event. This fed nicely into the students’ devising work (where they create their own piece of theatre), based on historical figures. To end the year our students worked with theatre by local playwright Gary Henderson, looking at his play Peninsula for their techniques standard. Our Year 13s were incredibly lucky to get to see Henderson’s most recent play Things That Matter at the ASB Waterfront theatre. This play, based on the memoir by David Galler, is set in Middlemore hospital and is an articulate account of the compassion and change needed in New Zealand’s health system. We also brought in Auckland Theatre Company (ATC) to run workshops with our Year 13s on this performance, to help them better connect with the material and the Auckland community.

Our Year 12 students have focused on social injustice theatre. They started the year looking at the incredibly relevant and timeless play adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984. Using epic theatre as an inspiration, they followed this into creating their own devised theatre based on a social injustice issue. To support their learning, we were able to take the Year 12s to see Witi’s Wāhine at the ASB Waterfront. Witi’s Wāhine is based on the writing of Witi Ihimaera, including The Parihaka Woman, The Matriarch, and Pounamu Pounamu. The play places the wāhine of Ihimaera’s stories at the centre to explore and reveal our history in a new light. Finally, to finish the year, our students worked with Brecht’s Mother Courage and her Children, an anti-war piece of theatre which still inspires today. Our first student to focus on directing standards, Olesya Korchagina, successfully took charge of a small group of students to create a highly original and entertaining take on Mother Courage

Our Year 11 students have worked with more comedic pieces this year. They started the year with the melodramatic and incredibly funny slapstick Murder Mystery. We took them to Q Theatre to see Red Leap Theatre Company’s production of Dakota of the White Flats. A punk style, coming-of-age adventure story, focusing on two brave young women navigating their harsh world. This innovative devised work helped our students to create their own pieces of devised theatre based on the short stories of Roald Dahl. To finish the year our students took a close look at commedia dell’arte, the 15th century Italian theatre which is still informing comedy today. The recognisable stock characters, slapstick comedy and improvised lazzi have kept us laughing while we learn.

This year our senior students also took part in workshops with awardwinning, local devising group, Red Leap Theatre Company. Red Leap are a physical theatre based company and looked at the devising process and how we create ideas through movement.

Junior Drama

Our Year 10 Drama students began the year with the Shakespearean script King Lear. Having performed the abridged version, we took them to see Michael Hurst’s ATC performance of King Lear at the ASB Waterfront. Our students then worked on their improvisational skills, learning how to perform unscripted and to think on their feet, as well as make us all laugh. We then moved into devising, working off of the graphic novel The Arrival. Our students wrote their own melodramatic plays and finally ended the year with the fun and historic Greek theatre.

Our Year 9 Drama students this year began with the fundamental learnings of theatre. How do we navigate a theatre and the rehearsal process? We all ran for cover with the play 10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse and then created their own performance based on the poem The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost.

Every year I am increasingly impressed with the talent coming from our students. They work incredibly hard to develop their understanding and hone their skills, showing respect and integrity at all times. The students in our department bring a positive, lively atmosphere to the classrooms which continues to foster an effective learning space, but also a fun one. Well done all.

Sara Hunt, Head of Drama

Science

Biology

The year 2022 brought remarkable success to the Biology Department. In the early months of February, we received the exciting announcement of securing 26 prestigious Biology Scholarships. This accomplishment stands as a testament to the dedication and hard work exhibited by our students. Their commitment to their Biology education throughout the years has truly made us immensely proud.

We have been fortunate to welcome Jessy Lee and Logan Milicich to the team this year, we are looking forward to seeing their enthusiasm and new ideas being integrated in the Biology programme.

A huge congratulations goes to Abby Campbell who qualified in the top 25 biology students in the country and this allowed her to participate in the Biology Olympiad training camp.

Throughout the academic year, Biology students have enjoyed a diverse array of subjects, spanning from the fascinating realms of human

evolution and intricate cellular processes to the intriguing world of thermoregulation. Enriching their studies further, students embarked on various captivating biological field trips.

The 11 SCB and 13 Biology classes went to the Auckland Zoo. This outing provided a wonderful opportunity for students to closely observe a range of different species and explore their remarkable adaptations in a real-world setting. Additionally, both groups had the privilege of receiving an informative and engaging presentation from knowledgeable zookeepers, an experience that left a lasting impression on all of our students.

Our 13 Biology Scholarship students embarked on an enriching journey to the picturesque Tiritiri Matangi Island, nestled in the Hauraki Gulf. Here, they had the incredible opportunity to observe protected species thriving in their natural habitat and delve deep into the realms of conservation and the evolution of New Zealand’s avian population.

Chemistry

This year we welcomed Yaqi Wang and Lizzy Mudford to the team who have been a welcome addition, bringing lots of energy and creative ideas.

A huge congratulations goes to Andrew Li who qualified in the top 30 chemistry students in the country in Chemistry Olympiad and represented us at the national competition.

Our IB chemists have done us proud in their extended investigations ranging from iron concentration in spinach to the effect of temperature on the level of dissolved oxygen in stream water.

Finally, a massive well done to all our students who are through three years of disruption and have done exceptionally well this year.

Physics

The Term 2 Physics trip to Rainbow’s End Theme Park was more than a day of thrilling rides and laughter—it was an immersive lesson in Physics. Amidst the exhilarating twists and turns, students discovered the underlying Physics that drives these attractions.

As they boarded rides like the Stratosfear and Power Surge, students experienced first-hand, the principles of simple harmonic motion that they had been learning about in class. The changing velocity on different rides showcased effects of rotational inertia and centripetal force, providing insights into the Physics behind the sensation of weightlessness.

Adding to the scientific excitement, the students took to the bumper boats—an experience that introduced them to Newton’s laws of motion in a watery setting. Steering and manoeuvring the boats highlighted the concept of action and reaction, demonstrating how forces are equal and opposite, and how an angular acceleration can change angular momentum!

This outing wasn’t just about Physics—it was a lesson in teamwork, innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The blend of education and excitement emphasized that science isn’t confined to classrooms; it’s a part of daily life, even in the most thrilling environments. By exploring the science behind the fun, students gained a deeper appreciation for the Physics that govern our world, making their day at Rainbow’s End an unforgettable educational experience.

Social Science

Art History

The year 2023 was an exciting year for Art History. In Year 12, students examined the turbulent history of France in the 18th and 19th centuries, looking at the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon, and the significant changes that followed for French society. This was a highlight for students who loved engaging in History, as it introduced them to the different functions and the importance of art in reflecting its own time. In Year 13, the students learned all about High Renaissance and Mannerist art in Italy through exploring the art and society of 15th and 16th century Florence, Rome, and Venice. It exposed them to aspects of societies both big and small; from learning about the personal lives of patrons, to studying the grand projects like the Sistine Chapel ceiling that continue to awe audiences today.

At both year levels students had a chance to go on a trip to the Auckland Art Gallery. A highlight was the Light from Tate: 1700s to Now exhibition which exposed students to famous art and history from across the globe. Students were excited to see the historical paintings of visionary European artists such as JMW Turner and Claude Monet.

Geography

Geography is the study of people and places. This year all three levels of Geography students have studied a range of topics to learn about both of these aspects. Year 11 started the year looking at the natural processes of river systems. Students then looked at two different types of natural disasters—earthquakes around the world and volcanic eruptions in Auckland. The last internal assessment topic was on the controversial issue of the use of 1080 poison for pest control followed by the external topic on the Indian Ocean Tsunami. Year 12 had an exciting start to the year with a trip to the

Classical Studies

Classical

Studies at Rangitoto College has had a fantastic 2023. We have welcomed two new staff members, Madelaine Barrett and Courtney Whiting, to our teaching staff. Highlights for the year have been re-enacting Odysseus’ reclaiming of his household by stringing his great bow and firing an arrow through 12 axe handles. We were able to bring the iconic classical moment to life out on the Rangitoto fields where our students had fun with the bow and arrows.

Another highlight was Rangitoto College hosting the annual Classics Quiz. The night saw a packed hall, with teams from schools across Tāmaki Makaurau, with one of our teams coming fourth and another one of our teams winning the prize for the best team name—My Mything Braincells!

We look forward to many more moments in the coming years with a Classical Studies Trip to Europe planned for 2025.

Tongariro Crossing, this was a highlight for many of the students. They then completed topics on global coffee patterns, overfishing in the Hauraki Gulf, and crime in Chicago. Year 12 are completing their year on the Amazon Rainforest. Our Year 13 students have been lucky enough to complete two field trips this year. Firstly, looking at the coastal processes in Omaha and secondly the tourism development of Rotorua which they are learning about for their external examination. Year 13s have also looked at the global topic of maritime piracy and the contemporary issue of climate change refugees in the Pacific.

History

The year 2023 has been a great year in the History Department with students achieving excellent results in their assessments. Topics covered included the First World War, Black Civil Rights, the Vietnam War, the Second World War, The New Zealand Land Wars, communism as a force, and other global topics. The field trips to the Auckland War Memorial Museum, Bay of Islands, and the Waikato were a huge success and a lot of fun for those who attended.

Junior Social Science

Our Year 9 Junior Social Scientists have enjoyed learning a range of topics to develop an understanding of the world around them and their place within it. Students learnt about how people move around the globe and the subsequent challenges they face. They learnt about several environmental challenges our world faces, and how to be kaitiaki of our papatūānuku. Students also discovered Asia and how innovations have impacted their economies. Lastly, students compared systems of government, including a focus on New Zealand’s democracy and North Korea’s dictatorship.

Our Year 10 students have been busy this year delving deeper into our world and the people who inhabit it. They have enjoyed gaining new insights into natural disasters and the impacts that these have on people and places. Students have explored human rights and the

ways that these are violated by different groups at different times. They took great pleasure in designing their own tourist brochures for the historical site of Pompeii after learning about what happened there. Finally, students have also uncovered New Zealand’s past through examining our involvement in several key international conflicts. From this our Year 10 students have developed a strong understanding of the world around them and have built a strong foundation in the social sciences.

Social Science Internal

There has been a lot of excitement and energy this year in Social Science Internal. We have completed a wide range of internal assessments that have allowed us to explore interesting and current topics. It has been great seeing students develop their interpersonal skills and getting involved in real discussions around social issues and the world we live in. A highlight of the year was seeing the class working together as a team to display their ability to communicate effectively with others to achieve a goal together. It has been a great classroom environment for the students, as they have grown into mature young adults, engaging with current affairs.

Tourism

Sociology

Sociology has had a great 2023. Year 12 and Year 13 classes began the year with an introductory unit into some current issues that are affecting groups of societies from around the world. Throughout the year we have been building an understanding of the importance of human rights in our daily lives. By examining successful social actions, students were able to implement these learnings into their own. This culminated at the annual Sociology Exposition in the school Auditorium. Students raised awareness about local charities and ways that people could support these causes. Year 13s were focusing on influencing policy change and engaging staff and students in this process. To finish off the year we continued to explore interesting social issues around addressing conflict and the revitalisation of Te Reo Māori.

Students in Year 12 Tourism learn about the inner workings of the tourism industry. The topics they have studied cover tourism work roles and businesses as well as world and New Zealand tourist destinations. To enrich their learning in the classroom, Year 12 Tourism students have the opportunity to experience the tourism industry first hand. This year the Level 2 field trip took students to the Auckland Zoo, where they were spoken to by an education officer about how the Zoo is part of the tourism industry. They also had to rely on each other to complete a series of tasks around the Zoo. These tasks were designed to teach students about collaboration and cooperation, important soft skills within the tourism industry.

Year 13 Tourism is all about tourist destinations and looking into the impact tourism has on those places. The units cover Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands and the economic impact of tourism. These

units are designed to broaden students’ worldly knowledge through the lens of tourism. To supplement the academic learning, the Level 3 field trip to Tree Adventures focused on soft skills such as communication and teamwork. These are fundamental skills for working in the tourism industry.

Tourism at Rangitoto College also offers opportunities for students to learn about what tourism has to offer beyond high school. This year we had a visit from Queenstown Resort College (QRC), one of New Zealand’s most prestigious tourism training institutes. For those students who excel in the subject and are seriously considering a career in tourism, there is the chance to attend QRC’s three-day experience. Our career’s field trip is another great way for keen students to witness the industry in action. The trip included a visit to the International Travel College, the All Blacks Experience, and the Harbour Bridge Climb with AJ Hackett.

STEAM

This year in the field of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics), our programme has witnessed significant developments, including the introduction of Robyn Wood to our team from South Africa at the outset of the year.

Within our Year 9 curriculum, students have engaged in the utilization of traditional origami as a contextual framework for the design and development of innovative solutions to contemporary societal challenges. The environment we have fostered, where students can collaborate in small teams at their own pace, has yielded remarkably creative solutions to issues pertinent to their respective contexts.

Meanwhile, our Year 10 students have embarked on a journey that encompasses a global perspective. They have utilized the United Nations 2030 agenda and a forward-looking vision of the world in 2050 to identify community-based issues that resonate with their own experiences. The first half of the year has been dedicated to the exploration of challenges related to energy, food waste, and sustainability. Within these contexts, students have been encouraged to devise potential solutions, not merely to rectify these issues, but to mitigate their potential impact. In the latter

half of the year, students have been given the opportunity to choose a specific issue of personal interest. Among the topics they are investigating this year are transportation systems and various vehicle engine types, including electric and hydrogen options, as well as different hydroponic techniques and their corresponding fertilizers. Moreover, students are exploring the integration of artificial intelligence in the control of automatic feeding systems within hydroponics, to name just a few areas of inquiry.

This educational journey affords our students the invaluable opportunity to explore their potential ideas within a safe and nurturing environment, promoting creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

Te Manu Taki

Ruku ki ngā wai hohonu

Rere aki ai i ngā taumata

Welcome to Te Manu Taki Department here at Rangitoto College. Our department is a warm welcoming space where our students live by manaakitanga and whanaungatanga. Te Manu Taki Department weaves the curriculum through Te Reo Māori, Ngā Toi Māori, Whakairo, and it is deeply connected with the Tū Rangatira programme and Rangitoto kapa haka.

Te Reo Māori

Ko tōku reo tōku māpihi maurea

In 2023 we welcomed Matua Ke’arn Peters and Whaea Jess Langley to teach Year 9 Māori alongside Whaea Kata Simpkins and Whaea Sarah Galbraith. Included in the highlights of 2023 for our Te Reo students was the Year 12 research field trip to the Waikato to study Rangiriri, the Year 9 trip to Murrays Bay Primary for the Matariki Festival, and the Year 10 storybooks written for our local primary schools for Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori.

Whakairo - Carving

Ko te piko o te māhuri, ko tērā te tipu o te rākau

Ngā Toi Māori, Māori Practical Arts, is now offered from Year 9 to Year 13 and Rangitoto College is one of only three colleges in Auckland to offer such a programme. Under the guidance of Matua Mark Terei, learners hone the practical skills of carving and develop a deep knowledge of the pūrākau stories which uphold the knowledge. Students also spend time exploring the meaning encoded in the carvings to reveal their rich source of mātauranga knowledge. Ngā Toi Māori courses are a treasure for our community. Perhaps the highlight of the year for our Whakairo programmes was contributing to the living whakairo tent at this year’s Pīpīwharauroa Festival.

Technology

Technology encompasses expertise from various disciplines, amalgamating to be employed in a hands-on and experimental manner. Rangitoto College offers a range of courses such as Electronics, Material, Textiles, Food Technology, Construction, Engineering, and Hospitality. The thrilling and captivating projects undertaken by students over the course of the year have achieved remarkable triumph.

Food Technology

This subject is about cooking and understanding the science behind food. Students acquire skills to create technological solutions that align with real world issues. Examples involve collaborating with a retirement village to create high tea for elderly people and crafting festive foods for the Pīpīwharauroa Festival, responding to authentic briefs provided to them. Some exciting highlights for this year included homemade pastas, vegan and high protein ice cream, pizzas, icing cookies, international burgers, and a bunch of other delicious and innovative options. Junior courses provide the basis for learning about personal hygiene and kitchen safety practices. These fundamentals then prepare for more advanced concepts that are integrated into the senior courses.

Textiles

Hospitality

Throughout 2023, the Hospitality students have been challenged to grow and improve their skill on numerous occasions. We have been catering for a wide range of functions at school, such as Open Day, Concerto & Cookies, Rock Bands & Rocky Road, and the Pīpīwharauroa Festival held at our kura. The students have been experiencing new flavours through cultural cuisines, developing their own concepts and designing menus for the annual Garden Party held at Knightsbridge Village. We are very excited about Hospitality in 2024 and where the road will lead us on our journey as teachers and students.

In Year 9 Textiles Technology, students crafted a t-shirt for a designated stakeholder, ingeniously incorporating the stakeholder’s pepeha into the design. They also designed a t-shirt for a clothing brand about to branch into streetwear for teenagers’ brand, Salubrious, while also acquiring proficiency in laser cutter design. The Year 10 curriculum offers diverse prospects, encompassing wearable arts, e-textiles, and screen printing. During Term 2, students participated in the Eye on Nature wearable arts competition, where Erin, Lily, Mia, Luca, Ziane, Charlie, Alicia, and Amelia garnered a merit award for their captivating street-inspired ensemble. At Level 1, students entered the esteemed Walk the Line Competition, an integral part of NZ Fashion Week, with 13 students emerging as finalists. Year 12 students delved extensively into sustainability, experimenting with natural dyes, upcycling, innovative utilisation of off-cut scraps, and zero-waste patterns. Progressing to Level 3, students embarked on a project themed around costumes, concocting designs bridging the realms of a children’s storybook and a notable New Zealand artist or designer. An excursion to Auckland city introduced Year 12 and 13 students to the fashion and design programs at AUT and Whitecliffe University. Term 3 culminated in yet another splendid fashion exhibition showcasing the remarkable accomplishments of the students throughout the year.

Materials Technology

In the junior years of Materials Technology, students complete a series of modules based on developing their knowledge of materials and how they are manipulated to produce a product. They explore material properties and manufacturing processes. A portfolio of work is produced by the end of each module where students work through a design process to produce a prototype for a product. This year in 10MTC, a new project has been introduced where students must design and manufacture a portable speaker. They have enjoyed this module and it has allowed students to develop their thinking and ability to manufacture a prototype using a broad range of techniques. In Year 11, students produce an automaton (mechanical toy). This year’s theme was based around myths and legends, allowing students to explore their own cultural identity. This project allows students to develop their skills regarding mechanical movement while also providing them with ample opportunity to test and trial their ideation. At Year 12 and Year 13, students are provided with the opportunity to identify their own context/problem. This year some of the problems are based around storage, sports training aids, and a steering system for an EV.

Electronics

In our junior course, students have been learning how to write programs for programmable circuits. Year 9 students have been trialling programs that control inputs and outputs for a physical cyber-pet, which is created through laser cut acrylic parts. In Year 10 students have been learning about sensors and LED displays to read the environment such as temperature and humidity. Students have been learning how to use computer aided design to realise their designs. Year 11 students have been learning how to code in C++ to take advantage of the vast things that can be connected to an Arduino circuit board. We have continued to explore the electronic decision maker with students showing creative ways they can build fun and interaction into their designs. In Year 12, students have been exploring and designing

concepts for electronic toys. These have included remote controlled cars to magic wands. Year 13 students work with an open brief and establish their own contexts for their projects. Again, we have had a diverse range of projects this year. One student has developed a RGB light for a car that changes colour based on the speed that you are travelling.

Construction and Engineering

The year 2023 saw the pocket motorbike project introduced to Year 13 Engineering students, aimed to provide students with hands-on experience in designing, building, and testing a small motorbike. This project encompassed various aspects of mechanical engineering. Year 13 Engineering students were tasked with designing the motorbike’s frame and chassis, before fitting components such as the engine, wheels, brakes, and suspension system. Year 11 and 12 Engineering students continued to develop their repertoire of practical skills and engineering knowledge through producing a variety of high-quality outcomes.

i. Dungeons

The entire world a dungeon, And I, the dungeon master. Yet, I am not in control.

The fate of all actions In the hands of another Being of power.

ii. Dragons Dragons, they are fear-conjuring and strong.

They think surrounded by beasts with power, They belong?

No, Dragons may have strengths; Fire, size, flight, But kill as they must, They themselves may also be slain, They themselves may be contained. For they are but pawns, Pieces that play a grander part in a world they never will get to see. You still occasionally see them, Surrounded by fog, Shrouded by mist.

Ghost of monsters who used to exist.

iii. Die

Dice, All sides even yet so unequal. Who knew the world could be so evil.

Metallic surface, smooth like glass, Golden lining, adorned with sculpted patterns. The intricate designs making you forget, Just for a second, Malicious intentions behind its charming face.

The delicate toss, in one swift motion, Determines how you should live or die.

iv. Destiny

Inevitability.

He rules over us all.

In a world outside our own, he sits upon a black obsidian throne. Draped in shadow, coat of empty space, no matter what your build, skill, or race.

Manipulating, without a single form or face. Unblinking, and ever drinking the red liquid

That may be wine, Or the blood of his enemies.

Like a tide to the moon, we are drawn, Then cast aside as others come by Seeking vengeance against fate, Filled with spite and hate, Quickening heart rates, Rushing to their deaths on the date of doomsday. For no matter how much they might create or dictate, They are but puppets, Worthless against fate.

A Melody in War

Among the clash of steel, a girl was playing the zither.

The mellow melody mingled with the helpless cries ringing through the night. Blood spilt in all directions like blooming spider lilies as soldiers fell left and right. Splatters of red, crimson and aglow under the dim light of the moon, covered the cold bodies that littered the earth. The corpses lay in frozen terror, limbs twisted in awkward positions, blood pooled from their wounds.

Through all of it, the girl remained unfazed, untouched by the reach of death. She peered up at the battle unfolding around her as her hand strummed the strings. The more she looked, the harder it was to push away the feeling that was welling up inside her.

How was it that they did not stand a chance despite facing only a single opponent?

They were losing. Their forces were being struck down, one by one like flies. Retreating was not an option. They had to win or go down trying.

Something had to change.

Letting the last note of the music echo through the air, her fingers stilled against the instrument as the world around her rippled. Time slowed to a crawl.

She took a deep breath and after another pulse, the music started again, but this time, more upbeat. The music spun. Quicker and quicker. Twisting and churning. It reached a crescendo, whirling faster and faster until the notes distorted into the wind.

The earth shook, a thunderstorm brewed, and the ocean waves rose far across the land. Everything, including the law of nature, was falling apart.

Sparks flashed beneath her fingers as she plucked the strings. Her vision blurred but she didn’t stop. Couldn’t stop.

Lightening tore through the skies, waves crashing from above. The earth split and the moon shattered. The sun rose through the night, golden rays peeking between the hills. A long-forgotten warmth was cast across the corpse-filled land.

The girl looked up with clouded eyes, sweat streaking her face. With the last of her strength, she watched the enemy disperse into ashes.

She had done as much as any soldier on the field. It was time for her to rest.

A Tale told by an Idiot

In English class, Macbeth told me

Life is a tale told by an idiot

At first I was amused, then confused Shakespeare told the tale; Was he an idiot too?

I sought the truth, and after much thought I came to the conclusion:

Shakespeare’s work was made of fiction

No idiot could make such fabrication

In school, I suppose, we learnt the truth

Formulas and indoctrination of the youth

Keen mullings

(my mind is dulling)

I think I passed optimum

And my mind is denaturing

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

Oh, thank god, there’s the bell

It reminded me of Socrates

Dissecting the world until there’s nothing left

But poison down your throat

The wisest man knows nothing

I know nothing, have experienced nothing I feel wise

Am I? No

Knowledge is false, I know

Even if someone tells me so

I loaned knowledge with a Dawes plan

But when I was told to bring it back

Well, then, my mind went blank

Trying to compensate the loss of knowledge

And consume the extra space on my page

Rearranging my priorities

To solve the equation of education

Knowledge retention but all that remains

From cramming these facts into my brain

Is Macbeth telling me of life’s idiocy

Don’t get me wrong;

School isn’t some malevolent phantom

Sinner killing mockingbirds

It’s the whole of the world

That I’m finding quite tiresome

My mood can be modelled by a cosine function

Going up and down at varying degrees

I’m trying to accept the positives

But all I got was a mind dissociated

From what others called reality

It means so much to us

That fifth letter of the alphabet

No matter how SMART the goals we set

Only so much power can we generate

In our current state

Come in close to see my reaction

Effort vs results, oh, the juxtaposition

Hopefully one day we will see

With some newfound sense of clarity

Life is a tale told by an idiot

And that idiot is me

Mirror of You

The day I met the real you, the world was asleep.

Fog had tucked the world in, keeping those at home stationary. The chill pierced our hands like a million molecular pins. The wind swept our hair into tight knots. We did not have to show up to school before the sun warmed the earth, yet we did.

“Why are you here?” I wanted to ask, but all I could do was stare at your eyes. It was a kaleidoscope of emotions, cheer and gloom, fury and indifference, kindness and spite. They mixed in the concoction that you brewed, special only for me.

But I saw what you saw, and you felt what I did. After all, a mirror cannot reflect itself, only the endless void within it.

“Why aren’t you waiting inside?” you finally asked with your Chinese accent.

“They aren’t open.”

You nodded and glanced around. The sun was barely inching into the horizon. Others had roamed or sought shelter in the library, but we ended here, by the flagpole in the cold, awaiting the auditorium doors to allow entrance.

We watched each other again at different intervals. You wouldn’t let my eyes catch yours, yet you wanted to study what it was that astounded you. Finally, you relented and we stared into each other’s endless voids, searching for the nonexistent end.

“What?” I teased. Our friends always liked it when I teased.

You blink. “Nothing, I…”

The shine in your eyes, one that only I could see. The same shine reflected in my eyes, the understanding brought to light.

“Hey!”

Our gazes turn to the smiling girl, fighting the weight of her bags to meet us. “Why are you two here early?” she asked.

You shrugged. “I had to drop off my mom. She had an early start.”

“But you’re not supposed to drive.”

You flashed a smile. “As if you don’t.”

I laughed as I took out the clear lip gloss and brushed the soft end to my lips. “Why are you here early?” I asked the girl.

“Scholarship,” she replied before turning to you. “By the way, could you send me your answers? I wanna compare them with mine.”

You nodded. “Sure thing.”

“Thanks!” she exclaimed before scurrying off.

We watched her go before I glanced back at you. The proud persona you made for her was already washing off, returning to that colourful kaleidoscope with naught an authentic tint.

I tilted my head. “Could you be just like me, a rose reflection of the world?” I asked, my voice lowered. “A nameless shell of a person whose only goal is to show what they want to see?”

Your smile dropped entirely as you inched closer to get a better look at my eyes. There, at the deepest layers of your soul lay the loneliness, the sadness, the pain. There lay the memories you pushed away, ones of anger and screaming, ones of mistakes and irreversible regrets.

“Yes,” you replied, “maybe I am.”

1950s Reunion

The first day of Rangitoto College was on 6 February 1956 and in May this year, we were very honoured and privileged to welcome back some of our founding members to the College for our first ever 1950s Reunion.

We had over 40 of our foundation students share in a morning tea hosted by our Community Relations Team and 10 of our Student Leaders. There was memorabilia on display such as photos and original year books that invited conversations from our students to ask more about what life was like at Rangi in the 1950s. Equally, our guests were just as interested in life for today’s students.

Patrick Gale and our Student Leaders took the group on a tour of the college which no doubt looked very different to their time spent here from 1956.

Many stories were shared and lots of laughter and happiness expressed, and it was most special to see some reunions of those who had not seen

Blood Day

The annual Rangitoto College Blood Drive is an amazing cause which unites students and staff in making a lifesaving impact by contributing desperately needed blood for use in NZ hospitals. On the 8 and 9 June, 200 students and teachers signed up to the Blood Drive and 150 units of blood were donated in total over two days! An amazing 95 of them were first time donors, which is awesome since these people likely end up as lifelong donors. Together, schools play a vital role in ensuring a stable blood supply and creating a brighter future for those in need, especially with Aotearoa’s current blood shortage. A huge thank you to Emma McDonald, Karen Neale, the Community and Environment Team, the Service and Spirit Teams, and the New Zealand Blood Service for making the blood drive a success this year.

Chinese Night

Celebrating the eighth-year anniversary at Rangitoto College, Chinese Night stands as one of our school’s most exhilarating and noteworthy events. Each year, our dedicated students come together to meticulously organise, rehearse, and execute stunning performances for our diverse cohort and our wider community. Our objective for Chinese Night is to honour, celebrate, and showcase the rich tapestry of Chinese culture, unveiling the intrinsic beauty to both our student body and our wider community.

Chinese Night consistently showcases a diverse array of exquisite performances, diligently crafted by our talented students. Our repertoire encompasses a wide spectrum, ranging from contemporary bands and Chinesepop dance to time-honoured traditional acts such as traditional Chinese martial arts 武术, classical Chinese fan dance 扇子舞, classical Chinese sleeve dance 水袖舞, the energetic lion dance 舞狮, and the vibrant diabolo 空竹. This year, we proudly introduce the addition of classical Chinese umbrella dance 伞舞 to our traditional repertoire. Further enriching our performance variety, allowing us to showcase furthermore aspects of Chinese Culture.

Participating in this remarkable event not only fosters new friendships with students at the college but also cultivates valuable skills, leaving wonderful memories and yielding numerous positive outcomes for all that get involved.

Chinese Night is a sensational and significant cultural event for Rangitoto College.

Korean Night

On 16 June this year, Rangitoto College orchestrated a successful rendition of Korean Night. This annual affair at our school aims to spotlight and commemorate both the traditional and contemporary facets of Korean culture. The event featured captivating performances including the haka, as well as the doll and co-ed fan dances that seamlessly blend traditional and modern styles while adorned in hanbok attire. Other highlights encompassed the taekwondo performance, the rhythmic nanta drumming performance, the mask dance alongside traditional forms, rap, modern K-pop dances, and live band presentations.

With over 750 attendees, the Auditorium buzzed with enthusiasm. The diligent efforts of student performers and leaders, Minwoo Kim and Siyeon Park, and the supervising teacher, Regina Noh, were evident in the meticulous organisation of this event. A deep appreciation extends to the students, staff, and sponsors whose involvement contributed profoundly to the resounding triumph of Korean Night 2023, creating an indelible memory.

Kotahitanga Day

Kotahitanga Day represents unity, togetherness, and solidarity. Held on February 27 this event was a fabulous day which brought approximately 800 Year 9 students together to bond as a group. Each Year 9 tutor class designed and created their own flag using the colours of their house. They also created a chant which was performed several times throughout the day. The bottom field was an array of colour and excitement as Year 9 students took part in a range of activities which encouraged them to problem solve, work together as a team, and earn points for their class and house.

Thank you to our 12 School Leaders and 127 Peer Support Leaders who helped set up, pack down, and support teachers and students throughout the day. Thanks also to the teachers involved who volunteered their time to help this event take place.

We hosted our fifth annual Golf Day Fundraiser in sunshine on Friday 28 April at Pupuke Golf Course with 144 golfers, lots of gusto, humour, and of course, great competition. This year we were raising money to go towards our Hardship Fund for students wanting to participate in sport and our Māori Community who are in need of piupiu for Kapa Haka. We raised a total of $25,660 which has been our largest fundraiser so far.

Lunar Festival Golf Day

TheThe support for the Rangi Golf Day has grown phenomenally each year within our community and this is something we value highly because without this, we would not be able to deliver the many initiatives and opportunities for our students, facilities, and staff.

We also had an incredible response from sponsors in our community who donated items for prizes and auctions and put on a few fun challenges around the course.

We would like to thank our main sponsors, Sal’s Authentic New York Pizza, Subway Constellation Drive, and Gilmours North Shore for all the delicious food provided throughout the day to keep the golfers fuelled and happy.

Thank you again to all those who played, sponsored, and supported this big event on our calendar. Rangitoto is very grateful!

We already have teams locking in their place for 2024 (Friday 5 April) so please get in touch with our Community Relations Department to register your interest. Email us at communityrelations@rangitoto.school.nz

Korean and Chinese Leadership Teams at Rangitoto College had the privilege of commemorating the Lunar Festival during the first week’s Friday lunchtime. Through the joint efforts of both teams, this festival offered numerous college students the opportunity to immerse themselves in two distinct cultures. The Korean Team’s student leaders, Minwoo Kim and Siyeon Park, and the Chinese Team’s Leaders, Ao (Lucas) Liu and Sitong Li, collaborated with others to diligently plan activities over the summer break, aiming to showcase Korean and Chinese culture. The event featured traditional cuisine, games, and performances that encouraged student participation. From the Chinese Team, activities included calligraphy, the chopsticks game, and the lion dance. Meanwhile, the Korean Team presented games like Ddakji and Jaegi Chagi. Students also showcased their cultures by donning vibrant traditional attire worn during the Lunar New Year. This successful event not only heightened cultural awareness but also enriched the cultural tapestry within the school.

Māori

Hui

Rangitoto ran multiple whānau hui throughout this year to showcase learnings from our Wānanga Series to our community. The journey we are on as Māori in Rangitoto College is about re-indigenising spaces to stand strong in our mana atua, mana tūpuna, and mana tangata. We are blessed to be supporting such beautiful souled children.

The evenings are about our ākonga demonstrating the teachings and talking about what they have been learning this year to enhance their knowledge of Te Ao Māori. They have done wānanga on roles and responsibilities on a marae, both front house (demonstrated pōwhiri process) and our hāpai ō (back house).

Wānanga Series

This was a series of wānanga that were held throughout the year to give students of Māori whakapapa within the Tū Rangatira Mentor Programme—a safe space to be Māori and practice tikanga. Students became familiar with etiquette at the marae and learned cultural competency and tikanga practices that keep them safe and feeling confident in that environment.

Ākonga māori attended a series of wānanga on marae. Each wānanga experience focused on an aspect of tikanga simultaneously with cultural values such as manaakitanga. These experiences took place on marae and/or other spaces that provide opportunities for ākonga to learn.

Te Taua Moana Marae - Te Whetu Moana

Rangitoto College has formed a relationship with The New Zealand Navy Marae in Devonport. We have been fortunate to be able to use this marae for educating our students in tikanga practices.

We have had the opportunity of facilitating five this year with a final one at the beginning of December at Kokohuia Marae in the Northland region of Hokianga.

The students were able to facilitate the pōwhiri welcome for staff and whānau at the Term 2 Whānau Night at the Navy marae. This was a highlight for many students, whānau, and staff who could see their development in tikanga.

Pacifica Hui

Kia Orana, Ni sa Bula Vinaka, Mālo e lelei, Fakaalofa lahi atu, and Tālofa lava. Our year has consisted of Pacifica hui and events, from celebrating our Pacifica language weeks, where our students organised activities and video recordings of phrases for the days, having the privilege of members of the Polynesian Panthers speak to our students, attending PILOT workshops, taking a group of students to experience Polyfest, our Tongan, Cook Island, and Samoan groups performing at the Pīpīwharauroa festival, and celebrating another Success Award Evening.

At Rangitoto College our Pacifica students have embraced their cultural identity with pride through these great opportunities and we look forward to celebrating these events again in 2024.

Pīpīwharauroa Festival of Mātauranga

Whakaoho tangata, whakahauora ngākau. Awaken people, reinvigorate hearts.

The day dawned bright, albeit windy, on the 18 September for the second annual Pīpīwharauroa Festival of Mātauranga, hosted by Rangitoto College. Our Pīpīwhararauroa Festival connects all learners throughout the Mid Bays Kāhui Ako as we journey through mātauranga Māori across many areas of the curriculum: kapa haka, te reo, species ecology, art, commerce, community, whanaungatanga, and maramataka. Kapa haka and cultural performances are featured at the final festival to celebrate the journey of learning. The theme this year was Whenua, and the many learning experiences were connected to the pīpīwharauroa through the kūmara. Kūmara themed artworks on display in the Rangitoto Centre, especially the superhero kūmara, were a hit with all visitors!

This year our activity marquees saw Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland Museum staff and our own whakairo students, under the guidance of Matua Mark Terei and Neil Sorenson, offer interactive experiences connected to the mātauranga of Whenua. This year, 12 groups from our local community and our local early childhood centres performed on stage, with many more joining the eclectic atmosphere, exploring Rangitoto College Year 10 commerce stalls and the experiences they had on offer. We look forward to the third festival in the tri-annual cycle on 25 March 2024—a twilight festival under the full moon!

Shrek

Adragon, ogres, princesses, lords…it’s no exaggeration to say that our full-scale production of Shrek The Musical was the stuff of fairy tales (and the season was completely sold-out)! A legendary team of staff and students devoted uncountable hours to create a spectacular and professional show, which brought joy to well over a thousand patrons, as well as an unforgettable experience for everyone who made it happen. Whether you were involved in cast and orchestra rehearsals, set building, making swamp vines, painting leaves, collecting props, sourcing and creating costumes, rigging lights, putting up posters, selling tickets, sweeping the stage, welcoming the audience, or simply encouraging someone you know to buy a ticket—your input was valued and appreciated.

“Shrek was a great experience which has really helped me improve my acting ability and myself”

Troy Etherton, Year 10

“Shrek was my first ever lead role in a musical and it was such an awesome experience that will always have a special place in my heart!”

Jedi Jumig, Year 12

Feedback from the audience…

“We were captivated by the characters, the costumes, the humour, the acting, the voices, and the absolutely fantastic orchestra! What a privilege to listen to live music and to a real orchestra! It was evident that a lot of hard work, dedication, and commitment went into the preparation of the show, and the end result was a testament to the outstanding professionalism of everyone involved.”

“My family and I would have gladly paid more for such an amazing experience, and we would love to watch it again if that were possible…we are grateful for the opportunity to witness such a remarkable artistic act and we look forward to attending more such events in the future.”

“The band in particular were incredible…they sounded super professional!”

Summit Academy

We held our prestigious Summit Academy Gala Dinner on Friday 18 August in the Auditorium where we welcomed alumni, parents, staff, and friends of our community to celebrate four honoured graduates of the college. These honourees have been carefully selected by our committee for their leadership, excellence in their field, and contribution to society. This year we celebrated Nigel Avery, Jenene Crossan (Ngāi Tahu), Peter Connor, and Erica Stanford MP.

The theme of the evening was a touch of mystery and guests were encouraged to wear a masquerade mask which created a few guessing games. The Auditorium was transformed into a mystical wonderland where guests were wined, dined, and entertained by our very talented students. A big thank you to the Free Range Chef for the evening’s beautiful menu.

Youth Workers

Kia ora, we are the 24-7 youth workers for 2023.

Our honourees each shared with us what their time at Rangitoto was like, memories of certain staff who had an impact on them, and what paths they have taken along their journeys since graduation.

The evening was put together by our Community Relations Team— Sally Thompson and Xenia Moschopoulos—who manage alumni events and communication, as well as sponsorship and fundraising within the college.

Next time you visit our Auditorium, be sure to look at our four newest additions on our Wall of Fame in the foyer.

Our organisation, 24-7, is a non-profit, with over 180 youth workers in 86 schools across Aotearoa.

We are Christian and Prisca and we have been the Rangitoto College Youth workers for 2023. We work closely alongside Guidance and Deans to provide extra support to all students throughout their time at high school. This can look like a range of things from playing basketball with students at lunch, to one on one mentoring, group work, coaching, and getting alongside the student leaders. All with the purpose of helping young people connect with others and helping them thrive.

We have felt so welcomed into the life of the school and so supported by many staff at Rangitoto. Some highlights for both of us would be how quickly we’ve been able to build relationships with the students and consequently how excited they are for mentoring, group work, or simply to hang out at lunch. We have immersed ourself in the life of the school and are around as much as we can be. Some highlights have included Rangi World Cup, Basketball 3v3, and Pink Shirt Day fun!

We work a lot out of S34, which is a room that we are able to do all our group work and mentoring from, as well as have it open one lunch time a week. We love how the room has become a safe space for many students and love how excited they feel to come and hang out in the youth work room—it helps when there’s food too!

Seeing young people thrive is essentially why 24-7 Youth Work (24-7YW) exists.

We are presence-based youth workers that support young people in all areas of school life. We want to see young people feeling equipped to handle all that life has, through developing inter-personal skills, resilience, and healthy peer relationships.

Student Leadership Teams Academic Team

In 2023, the Academic Committee organized a series of events aimed at fostering academic inclusivity and enjoyment. Our goal for 2023 was to cultivate a supportive and pleasurable academic environment within Rangitoto College. We organized a range of engaging events such as our Kahoot, Family Feud, Book Swap, and Study Planner.

As a group, we recognised the need for organisation and time management within our school. Therefore, in Term 1, we created a personalised study planner for students which encouraged students to keep track of their daily life and exams. This was a success as hundreds of students utilised the planner to manage their time efficiently and reduce their stress when faced with multiple exams. Another aim was to show how exciting and fun learning can be. As a result, in Term 2 most of our efforts were put towards a Kahoot series—a series of Kahoots quizzing the students about various types of trivia; cultural, social, and academic.

With generous sponsors, we were able to provide prizes worth hundreds of dollars. Every Kahoot averaged around 30 unique teams. Additionally, we took part in several activities to promote Rangitoto College’s strong commitment to supporting the academic pursuits of students, such as the Year 10 and 11 Pathways Evening and the Study Skills Evening. We also pioneered the creation of a Book Swap cabinet where students could exchange owned books. To end the year with a blast, we organized the Rangitoto Family Feud. Students challenged teachers to a family feudstyle quiz with questions covering various topics in our school such as the uniform rules.

Lastly, we would like to thank all those who have provided support throughout 2023. Your participation and contributions have been vital in helping us achieve our goals within a short span of time. As our students embark on their diverse academic endeavours, we extend our most heartfelt well-wishes.

Arts Team

There aren’t enough adjectives to describe this year’s arty and creative team. Ably led by Frazer, Georgia, and Olive, initiated new events and revamped some traditional ones. They introduced karaoke in Term 2 and gave students a chance to shine in a way that had not been done before. In Term 3, the group turned their skill and enthusiasm to Arts Week. Again, they launched at stunning new competition, Battle of the Bands, which was won by Watts, a brilliantly talented junior group. Tuesday saw them hosting mindful colouring in, making bookmarks, voting for pop culture idols, and crochet in the Library. On Wednesday, they took to the Sound Garden for drama, before heading back indoors on Thursday for Just Dance. The week culminated with Rangi’s Got Talent, where five finalists competed before a packed Auditorium audience. That event was won by 3.0, a trio of extremely talented dancers. The Arts Team wish to thank all staff and students who participated and helped make their events such a success.

Chinese Team

In2023, the Chinese Team worked tirelessly promoting and fostering Chinese culture within the school environment. Whilst doing so, served as a representative voice for the Chinese community within the school.

Through various events, the Chinese Team works hard to create amazing opportunities for students of all backgrounds to learn about and engage with Chinese culture. We’ve organised activities such as the Lunar Festival alongside the Korean Team, Chinese Night that has gathered hundreds of the diverse community to celebrate Chinese culture, Chinese Language Week, and a Chinese Information Evening that helped many Chinese families familiarise themselves with our school.

This year has been an incredibly successful year for the Chinese Team. We will continue to share our passion and love for our culture and continue to create a strong sense of the Chinese community. 明年见！

Community & Environment Team

This year was a very successful time for the Community and Environment Leadership Team. We focused on sustainability and fostering a sense of community within and outreaching Rangitoto College. In Term 2, we ran the New Zealand Blood Service’s annual collection at Rangitoto College. With donations from students and teachers, we collected over 150 units of blood. Next, we ran our Enviro Week to promote sustainability in a variety of ways including plant potting, clothes swaps, bake sales, and treasure hunts. Our school-wide game of Tag, known as KAOS, was extremely popular. Over 300 participants were involved, with Year 13 Gracie Zhang named the winner. Our last event for the year was a non-uniform day and food drive in support of the Good Works Trust, which runs our local North Shore food bank. Ultimately, we are proud of the change we have made and wish the team the best of luck in the coming years!

Culture & Globalisation Team

Led this year by Feifei Sun, Leanne Odoom, John Phaeng, and Sean Hwangbo, the Culture and Globalisation Leadership Team strongly believes in the promotion of cultural diversity, with a particular focus on the inclusion of our international students.

Students succeeded in organising two main events this year—Cultural Week and International Day. Cultural Week was a week-long celebration of the different cultures we have at our school, with events such as quizzes, games, performances, art, and food trucks. Meanwhile, International Day was focused on providing international students with the opportunity to run

Korean Team

TheKorean Leadership team was established to foster an appreciation for Korean culture and highlight the cultural diversity within Rangitoto College. Throughout the year, we have effectively executed several events, building upon our accomplishments from the previous year. In February, in collaboration with the Chinese Team, we hosted the Lunar Festival, where traditional games and cuisine from our respective countries, such as bulgogi (불고기 꼬치) and rice cake sausage kebab (소떡소떡), jegichagi (제기차기), Chinese dumplings, and calligraphy, were introduced. Another triumph was the Rangitoto College Korean Night, which attracted an audience of around 750 people. This event showcased a blend of Korean traditional and modern performances, prepared by our students over a span of six months. In July, we organised a Korean Information Evening, offering parents insights into NCEA and IB, school extracurricular activities, and university admissions. This year marked a resounding success for the Korean Committee, and we eagerly anticipate an array of diverse events in the years to come.

their own stall to showcase their cultural background to their peers. Both events were highly successful in getting students from all across the college involved, helping to expose people to new cultures, food, and traditions.

On the other hand, students have also worked in the background to increase support for our international students. From organising farewell parties at the end of each term, to sending welcome emails and giving tours for new students, as well as filming instructional videos such as how to catch a bus, we hope to have enhanced the experience of our international students.

Pastoral Team

The Pastoral Care Leadership Team has worked hard to support the mental health of ākonga at Rangitoto College this year. We celebrated Pink Shirt Day in Term 1, the team were so proud to see everyone wearing pink to support the Mental Health Foundation. As a kura, we raised $3,300 for the cause! Our second event was the Rangitoto College Bake Off in Term 3. It was fantastic to see so many of our tauira getting involved in this competition, while donating hygiene products for the Windsor Park Lifecare Trust. To continue supporting mental health across the kura throughout the year, the Pastoral Care Leadership Team shared inspirational quotes in the daily notices each week. We hope these reminded you to take some time for yourself each day. Thank you to all who participated in our events this year, good luck to the Pastoral Care Leadership Team of 2024!

Mā te ngākau aroha koe e ārahi. Let a loving heart guide your decisions.

Service & Spirit Team

This year the Service Team has taken part in two main events to help make a positive impact on both the local and global community. The first event was the World Vision 40-Hour Challenge where students from across the school signed up to take part in various challenges over a 40 hour period. In total students from the kura raised $11,599 which went towards helping children who need clean water in Malawi. Following the 40-Hour Challenge the Service Team organised an event for Shave for a Cure to help raise money for those living with blood cancer or a serious blood condition in New Zealand. Students and teachers took part in a fundraising event with a live lunchtime shaving session in the Auditorium. In total students raised a total of $7,858 towards this important cause.

Sports Team

TheSports Leadership Team for 2023, started the year with a clear plan to engage with as many Rangitoto students as possible through one weeklong event each term. A new initiative was to encourage students to support each other and have a go by trying out spike ball. This was held at the end of Term 1 and saw many students on the top field competing against each other.

Term 2 built to the excitement of the annual Rangi World Cup. The hockey turf swarmed with competitors and spectators who witnessed some class play along with tense penalty shoot outs. Team Samoa were the eventual winners.

Week 3, Term 3, 3v3 basketball filled the gyms, lots of great play, and wonderful spectator support that appreciated the talented basketballers along with newcomers to the game. It was a week of tight scheduling and led to the Doodles winning the competition.

An enthralling three terms of sports, thanks to James Edgeler, Jessie Honey, Isaac Lovering, and Kiana Stevenson who led the team and

Tū Rangatira Team

Tū Rangatira is a tuakana/teina programme that provides students a safe place to learn tikanga and cultural values daily where they can grow their confidence in tikanga Māori practices.

There are two separate classes of approximately 40 students. The junior year levels are a combined class of Year 10 and Year 11. The senior class is a Year 12 and Year 13 combined class. They come together on occasion to practice haka pōwhiri or waiata for events. Combining on occasion helps to create connections with the different year levels.

Tū Rangatira allows ākonga to develop skills in the pōwhiri process, and a range of karakia, mihimihi, and waiata to support them in both formal and informal events. They are educated on the function and significance of each of the roles to grow a deeper understanding of the responsibility to uphold the mana of tikanga within our school.

Year

13 Ball

Agroup of passionate students have embarked on an extraordinary adventure, teaming up with Auckland Council for the Adopt a Park programme, an impactful environmental initiative. Through their involvement in our local park, Centorian Reserve, these students are making a tangible difference, embracing their roles as guardians of this precious local park.

The Centorian Reserve Conservation Project offers a unique opportunity for students to learn outside the traditional classroom setting. It serves as an outdoor classroom, where students discover the intricacies of ecological systems, conservation strategies, and sustainable practices. Through hands-on experiences, they gain a profound understanding of the environment and become passionate advocates for conservation. Students obtain applied experience with many ecological practices involving water quality testing, pest trapping and monitoring, and planting native bushes.

This gives students a glimpse into restorative practice while promoting Aotearoa’s pest-free 2050 goal and rongoā Māori practices. This empowerment fuels their passion for environmental advocacy and equips them with the skills necessary to tackle environmental challenges in their communities and beyond.

Adopt a Park Amnesty International

In the heart of Rangitoto College thrives a group of passionate advocates—the Amnesty International Group. The leaders did a fantastic job facilitating the advocacy for our students to support human rights around the world. It was wonderful to see students across the school come together to champion human rights, spark conversations, and ignite change. They showed dedication in raising their voices towards many current humanitarian issues, through the form of the peaceful protest of letter writing.

These students recognise the power of unity and the impact of determination. Whether it’s rallying for justice, advocating for refugees, or shedding light on issues often overlooked, this group’s efforts remind us that even during a bustling college life, passion can drive remarkable change.

In collaboration with UNICEF, our annual Quiz Night was another resounding success raising money and awareness for important causes.

To promote the belief in a world where compassion triumphs and human rights are upheld for all, we are always looking for new members to join us.

Ancient Greek Club

This year, Ancient Greek Club attendees engaged with facets of the culture, values, history, and beliefs of the Greek-speaking world, alongside some basics of the ancient Greek language (including the alphabet, common words, and pronunciation).

Beginning with the Greek gods and stories from the Trojan War, our club has tracked both mythological and historical events through the centuries, pausing over poets such as Homer and Sappho, playwrights such as Aeschylus and Aristophanes, the great historians Herodotus and Thucydides, as well as historical figures such as Alexander the Great. We have explored religious festivals, the roles of women in Greek society and changes to Greek funerary art from the Archaic to the Hellenistic periods.

At the end of each session, students practise writing and speaking a few ancient Greek phrases, as well as translating short extracts from ancient Greek into English. Each translation includes a full Greek-English vocabulary list to help guide the students in this process.

We look forward to welcoming new and experienced members back to the club in 2024!

Art Club

Anime Club

This year has been a fantastic second year for the Anime Club. The enjoyment of watching anime has brought together 23 members who consistently come together and share their passion for their favourite anime. We watched a variety of genres of anime to develop a better understanding of the world and culture in Japan. This year we have watched The Promised Neverland, Spy X Family, and In This Corner of the World—which has raised awareness for the people living in Hiroshima during the Second World War bombing.

Biology & Beyond Club

T hroughout Term 3 and Term 4 the Biology and Beyond Club as consistently worked in S1. Throughout our meetings we strive to make Biology, but also all other sciences, more approachable. We engage in a range of different discussion, sharing our love for science with each other.

Another aspect of our club is our passion to help others. During every one of our sessions, we strive to help students achieve their potential in their chosen sciences. We do this by helping them with homework, working through past papers, or generally explaining concepts to ensure they can excel.

We are looking forward to the upcoming year, where we are going to start from Term 1. We anticipate even more scientific

Book Club

Book Club 2023 began, under Cherrill Hurley’s guidance, with 40 plus keen students sharing their love of reading.

In Term 1 the club enjoyed the summer sunshine, meeting outside under the trees to discuss the latest books and newly discovered authors. Haidee Roberts stepped in and assisted later in the year during Cherrill Hurley’s absence. It was wonderful to see students full of enthusiasm as they shared what they had been reading and bonded over their love of books.

In Term 3 we held a bookmark competition with a space theme and the winners’ designs were printed for Library Week. We had fantastic entries with five winning designs. The overall winner was Olga Domracheva with her beautifully hand painted entry.

The Rangi Book Club stand continues to be replenished with recommendations from our club students benefiting all Library visitors. As the year progressed the club grew to over 50 regularly attending students.

Thank you to Alisha

for all your support, and baking, over the year.

Chess Club

TCandy Waves Club

In 2023, the Candy Waves Club at Rangitoto College has had the honour of helping many children in hospitals all around the country. With 115 members, more than 50 per cent of whom were juniors, our students have been able to support Radio Lollipop with a wide range of events. Our amazing members created colouring pages, designed personalised cards, participated in New Zealand-wide fundraisers, and attended the annual Candywaves Night of Nostalgia fundraiser. Overall, Candywaves has been an opportunity for all students—juniors and seniors—at Rangitoto College to serve and help their community in an impactful and meaningful way. Special thanks to our leaders for 2023: Rebecca Huang, Cynthia Li, Jonathan Sun, Yuna Song, Desiree Lin, and Florence Camus Rogers.

hroughout the year, the Chess Club has consistently convened in room M7 every Friday. Our club boasts a social atmosphere that seamlessly complements our competitive spirit. With a membership of over 50 active participants, it serves as an excellent platform for making acquaintances and enjoying social bonds. This year, we took great pride in our participation in competitive tournaments such as the North Shore Regionals, where we demonstrated our prowess. As a result, we successfully qualified for Nationals, where we aim to defend our title as the Top Secondary School Chess Club in New Zealand. Our achievements go beyond the chessboard. We believe in fostering a sense of community and intellectual growth. To achieve this, we regularly meet and host friendly matches to encourage healthy competition. As we look forward to the upcoming year, our commitment to chess and our club’s values remains unwavering. We anticipate even greater accomplishments, more exciting games, and deeper connections within our chess-loving community.

Chinese Arts and Crafts

The newly established Chinese Arts and Crafts Club aims to promote a beautiful and exquisite side of Chinese culture. Our hope is to ignite a passion in more students to learn and explore the vast range of crafts that have been practised for centuries in China.

We were able to kick off the year by successfully selling out all our handmade charms at the Lunar New Year Festival. We were also responsible for making decorations for Rangitoto College’s annual Chinese Night. These decorations involved many holiday and after-school sessions outside of our regular Thursday lunchtimes. All the hard work and time our members and leaders dedicated had paid off as the decorations were highly praised. Throughout the year, the students have also been involved in paper cutting, calligraphy, and jewellery making, picking up new skills and building plenty of memorable connections along the way.

Chinese Traditional Dance Club Chip Packet Project NZ

Our Chinese Traditional Dance Club offers students the opportunity to learn and perform various Chinese traditional dance styles. This is a new club that has been developed after our Chinese Night this year. Our club is dedicated to promoting and preserving the rich cultural heritage of Chinese traditional dance. We provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for students who are passionate about learning and performing these beautiful dance forms. Through our club, students can immerse themselves in the art, culture, and history of these dances while participating in exciting performances and events like our Chinese Night in the future. We invited the dance leaders from this year’s Chinese Night to teach the students fan, sleeve, and umbrella dances. We are glad to see and share our culture with participants who are from different backgrounds apart from Chinese. Join us to explore the beauty and significance of Chinese traditional dance forms in a supportive and engaging environment.

Coding Club

The Rangitoto College Coding Club is a collaborative space that encourages individual creativity, problem-solving, and computational thinking. Not limited to a particular programming language or brief, members are free to work on their own unique programming projects, ranging from responsive website designs to colourful video games. This year the club have demonstrated fantastic self-motivation and self-management skills, which will benefit them greatly in the future.

This year is the first year that Rangitoto College has gotten involved in the Chip Packet Project New Zealand (CPPNZ). CPPNZ is a foundation that collects empty foil packets that would otherwise be thrown into landfills and turns them into lightweight thermal survival blankets. These blankets are then donated to homeless and less fortunate people who need help in fighting the cold, particularly over the winter months. Our first contribution as a school was simply setting up foil recycling collection baskets around the school in May. However, over the last couple of months we have since started holding workshops where students get involved in washing, sorting, and finally ironing the plastic foils into the blankets. It is fantastic to see the students getting involved in service to those less fortunate than themselves and giving up their time for such a worthwhile cause. We are looking forward to our continued work with CPPNZ in the future.

Creative Writing Club

Creative Writing Club is a space that allows students of all year levels to come together and write, every Tuesday lunchtime. The club has a regular attendance of about 20 committed writers keen to use the quiet space of E18 to explore ideas, build worlds and characters, and share their visions with like-minded creative thinkers. The club was established in response to a growing need for independent expression and vision, in counterpoint to the demands of analytical and critical writing within the school setting. Together or independently, students delve deep into different styles and genres, from fantasies, romances, dramas, sci-fi, poetry, and more. The space gives students a valuable opportunity to share their work with others in a supportive, judgment-free zone. During the important workshopping phase, students are given a voice to build their critical thinking and their ability to edit, as well as forming lasting friendships with their peers. Creative writing helps students to make sense of an ever-changing world, offering an escape into fictional worlds whose possibilities are endless.

Crochet Club

Anew club in 2023, Crochet Club provides a welcoming and inclusive environment

Cultural Networking Club

TheCultural Networking Club (CNC) had the pleasure of hosting several events this year to celebrate the diverse culture of the Rangitoto College student body. Our club aims to create a diverse school network that embraces every culture in our community while at the same time giving our members a chance to develop their own skills and confidence. This year our members have had the chance to explore their culture and learn about other cultures through various lunchtime activities from kahoots to cultural quizzes to games night. It was amazing to see the smiles on the faces of members as they got the answers spot on!

We aspire to give students who normally wouldn’t have a chance to lead or express their culture an opportunity to do both simultaneously. We hope that the club continues to thrive in the future, and we look forward to having bigger events in the school and even the wider community!

Debating

Once again, Rangitoto College fielded many teams in interschool competitive debating in 2023. Students at all levels demonstrated a lot of passion, commitment, and bravery to put together, with very little preparation time, witty and cohesive arguments and speak continuously for five to seven minutes while also responding to their opponents’ arguments on the spot. It was great to see camaraderie develop between the team members and there was a lot of good humour as they helped each other refine their points. It was also great to have a full season of in-person debating after several years of being forced to debate online due to Covid-19.

Junior Open

In 2023, Rangitoto College was again able to have five teams competing in the Junior Open grade of the Auckland Schools Debating competition, thanks to the efforts of our senior debating students who selflessly helped out with coaching the junior teams. As we have for many years, Rangitoto College again hosted the Northern Zone of the competition and we had teams from all over the North Shore visiting our school. All of our Junior Open teams competed well and the members showed excellent commitment to their teams. Rangitoto One did particularly well to make it through to the round 16 for the Auckland Region. A big thank you to the senior students who coached teams in this grade and adjudicated debates as part of that role: Raymond Huang, Lucas Liu, Andrew Li, Jonathan Sun, Greer McKenzie, Katrina Chen, Lianne Kim, Charlie Hodge, Phoebe Lin, Alex Brandt, Rebecca Huang, and Cynthia Li, and also teacher Annie Finnie who helped with hosting the competition. We could not have so many teams competing if not for their efforts so it is very appreciated.

Senior Open

In 2023, one team from Rangitoto College competed in the Auckland Schools Debating Senior Open competition which was hosted by Westlake Boys High School. Students in this team competed strongly and were able to make it through to the round of 16 for the Auckland Region. I would like to thank teacher Laura Hudson for her help in coaching Senior Open this year for the first time.

Diabolo

Advanced Open

This year, Rangitoto College again had three teams enter the very competitive Advanced Open grade of the Auckland Schools Debating Competition hosted by Carmel College. All the Advanced Open teams were once again coached by teacher Lucy Irwin who we are very grateful to for helping out with this grade for several years. The teams showed dedication and competed well and Advanced Open Team One were able to make it to the round of 16 for the Auckland Region which was a great result.

Premier Advanced

This year we again had a team representing our school at the very highest level of interschool debating, Premier Advanced, which was hosted by Auckland Grammar. Premier Advanced has seven-minute speaking times and complex motions which require a lot of thought. Our team consisting of Lucas Liu, Andrew Li, Raymond Huang, and Jonathon Sun have done incredibly well. At the time of writing, they have made it all the way to the finals for the Auckland Region, which is a remarkable achievement in such a competitive grade. On top of this, Lucas was selected for the Auckland Regional Squad based on his strong speaking ability, so big congratulations to the team and him. I would also like to express my gratitude to Olivia Newman for the work she has put into coaching this team.

Junior Championships Tournament

In July, junior students Austin Picard, Joshua Wang, Hugo Tan, and La Reina Ye competed in the Auckland Schools Debating Junior Championships which was held over a weekend at Mt Roskill Grammar and the University of Auckland. Teams from all over Auckland were there to compete and our team did extremely well to break second and make it to the quarterfinals based on three out of three wins in the regular rounds and high speaker scores. I was very impressed with the quality of their arguments and rebuttal at this tournament and it bodes well for the future of debating at our college that we have such talented juniors.

Thomas Shadbolt, Teacher in Charge of Debating

Diabolo is a Chinese traditional performance that involves juggling a large stringless yoyo using a pair of sticks. Celebrating our tenth anniversary since our inception at Rangitoto College, the Diabolo Club is now over 50 members strong, with consistent sessions taking place a few times each week on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, and even a few student-led practices taking place over the holidays.

We’ve reached new heights this year as we’ve performed in Rangi’s Got Talent, have unexpectedly revived our Discord server, and, for what has certainly been the highlight of this year for all of us, have had one of our strongest appearances at the college’s annual Chinese Night, where 12 of our members, accompanied by 3 leaders, had the opportunity to show off our repertoire of new, flashy, and complex tricks.

Despite the niche nature of this hobby, the Diabolo Club continues to stand out as a prominent representation of Chinese culture within the school—so let’s anticipate another decade filled with spectacle and captivating performances, as there is still so much more diabolo to be done!

Diplomacy Club

Diplomacy, a game created in 1954, has players choosing one of the seven major powers in Europe at the dawn of the twentieth century. With a deceptively simple set of rules, it is an easy game to get into but a hard game to master. Diplomacy is a brilliant and well-designed game of a type that few can replicate and was even played by the likes of American President John F. Kennedy!

Diplomacy is set at the height of political tensions in Europe which would eventually boil over into the outbreak of World War 1. The game uses no dice, only pure strategy and negotiation are at play here. You can’t win the game on your own. You need to build alliances to become the dominant power in Europe, and possibly change the course of history!

So, what makes the game great? It embodies the skills needed to negotiate, compromise, and work with others to name a few all while keeping it fun and off pixelated screens! Contrary to what you may read online, friends are made at the Diplomacy Club as people interact with each other as they form bonds and develop social skills.

Diplomacy is great for History and Geography. Diplomacy helps increase your understanding of the complex historical environment of Europe during the early twentieth century, while also laying bare the geo-political relations of the time. This is the cornerstone of Diplomacy and why it is a magnet for tacticians and politicians alike!

Duke of Edinburgh/Pike Ake

Rangitoto’s Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award programme continues to involve Year 10-13 students in a co-curricular programme of service, skill, and physical recreation. The Duke of Edinburgh Hillary Award has been growing in participation each year with 2023 being no exception. Students who challenge themselves to develop skills beyond academics show an ongoing commitment to developing a skill, taking part in physical recreation and supporting the community for three to eighteen months. The Award also includes pushing the students out of their comfort zone and completing outdoor expeditions of up to four days. Due to Cyclone Gabriel, our ākonga have had to enlist the help of external agencies Bigfoot and Auckland Adventure Works to ensure they completed their adventurous journeys—one of the most rewarding parts of the award.

2023 has seen the continuation of Pike Ake (Rise Up). This group of young people from Rangitoto College’s Tū Rangatira tutor group have been completing their bronze awards alongside involvement in the Tū Rangatira programme. Both the Hillary Award and Tū Rangatira have tīkanga that is comprised of service to the Rangitoto College community, practising or learning a new skill, and involvement in physical activity. This programme continues to build mana in the students involved whilst immersing them in te ao Māori.

Rangitoto is very lucky to be fully funded thanks to The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Aotearoa New Zealand and the Ministry of Youth Development.

Congratulations to all our 2023 participants.

Dungeons & Dragons

The year 2023 brought the biggest-ever influx of new players, particularly junior students, who joined more experienced adventurers and dungeon masters for a wide variety of exciting campaigns. Every Wednesday and Friday after school, our creative dungeon masters subjected the various groups of adventurers to a terrific range of mental and physical challenges. Some of the players acted recklessly and were fortunate when a lucky D20 roll saved them from a ghastly future, while others were over-cautious and failed to see their dreams of vast treasure realised. In one campaign a group of nine ex-criminals carried out the busy work of lords and governors in their attempts to keep a war from breaking out between kingdoms. They fought against a kingdom of orcs, led by half-orcs, whose intent was world domination. Moving from village to village they took a stand against the machinations of selfish gods while simultaneously traumatizing almost every villager they met; it’s not easy saving the world!

East Coast Bays

Rotary

Club Service Projects

In the spirit of community and environmental stewardship, our students have embraced the opportunity to make a positive impact through their participation in the East Coast Bays Rotary tree planting events. These student volunteer initiatives have not only enriched our local ecosystem but have also nurtured a sense of responsibility and connection among our student body. Through this partnership, our students develop an understanding of native fauna, predator prevention, and ecology systems present in our community.

Ecorigami

Ecorigami Club is the combination of ‘eco’ and ‘origami’ as we strive to promote the protection of the environment through our origami. We have had a successful year with a variety of events and the opportunity to donate over $300 to various environmental organisations throughout New Zealand. Our first event, Sprouting Growth, allowed us to spread the joy of plants and fundraise for the environmental organisation Trees that Count. Later on in the year, over 70 members participated in Movie Night where we watched a sponsored dinner of Pizza Hut, Boss Sushi, and Gong cha bubble tea. Finally, our Origami Competition inspired members to make personalised origami designs and present their pieces on Japan Day.

Throughout the weekly meetings, our varying themes allowed our members to make a variety of origami from the classic paper cranes to more complicated pieces like jumping frogs. As a club, our goal was to make a difference in our environment through fun and exciting activities. We hope that our efforts make an impact and that our club continues to grow in the future.

EPro8

This year we had nine teams compete in the interschool Epro8 STEM competition. The teams trained regularly in Terms 1 and 2 for the main competition held in Term 3.

The challenges this year included making a carwash, a working pendulum clock, and some old-school arcade games. The teams that did well combined excellent problemsolving skills with super-efficient time management. The Year 13 team of Daniel Leece, Jonathan Siah, Hyungmin Cho, and Ethan Greene took out their semifinal and will look to defend their title from last year in the Auckland/Northland finals.

We look forward to more teams joining us next year.

ESports

Esports continues to be a popular sporting alternative at our school, and our successes have continued. Esports garners all of the attributes and social aspects of regular sports with a fraction of the physical exertion. Teamwork, perseverance, and strategy are all attributes that our successful teams have developed and embraced. Students have played in a variety of competitions which have been run in a variety of formats. The most popular titles this year have been Valorant, Fortnite, and League of Legends.

Our teams have achieved notable success. Our top Fortnite team came first in the country in the University of Waikato’s tournament, and our top League of Legends team placed second in the country, making it through to the Australasian tournament, only to be taken out by Footscray High School in Melbourne. We had an incredible six teams in Valorant, however, our best team was eliminated in the semi-finals. Many of the games have been broadcast online by professional casters who have been impressed by the level of skill shown. Rangitoto College has once again proven itself to be a leader in Esports across the country.

Helping Hands

Helping Hands

is a service club within the school which raises funds to help others less fortunate in our community. We gather at a factory on either a Saturday or Sunday morning and then work for four hours to pack mouse traps. The funds raised from our labour are then distributed to organisations such as the Middlemore Foundation’s Jammies in June project and Orange Sky. The Jammies in June project provides pajamas to children at Kidz First and at 76 primary schools that the foundation supports through Mana Kidz School Health. Orange Sky is an organization which supports homeless people in our community through the provision of hot showers, laundry services, and social connection via their orange vans.

Ignite Christian Group

In2023, the student-led Ignite Christian Club has met regularly each week to sing worship songs, focus on devotions and Bible reading, and reflect on how they are applicable to the students’ lives. The aim of the group this year is to help the participants to grow in faith together. Our student leader has also been sharing a nation of the week where a country is introduced each week for prayers.

In Term 2, we ran a movie session with food and snacks provided, which had a great turnout. Revolution has also come with pizzas every term to promote its youth events.

Ignite Christian Club at Rangitoto College continues to be a space welcoming Christians and non-Christians to find out more about Christianity, to support one another in prayers, and to move forward in our faith journey together.

Helping Hands offers an opportunity for our students to help others and develop their sense of belonging and participation in our society. It is our small way of helping to improve the lives of others who are less fortunate than ourselves.

Informatics Club

Informatics studies how problems can be solved through computation and the right application of algorithms and data structures. This year, the Informatics Club has been focused on learning these ideas, how to implement them through code, and how to apply them to problems in a contest setting.

Rangitoto College has always had a big presence in the informatics scene in New Zealand, winning the high school division of the New Zealand Programming Contest and saturating the New Zealand Informatics Contest leader board. The Informatics Club aims to help its members explore the more elegant and fun side of programming so that students at our college can continue to engage with informatics for many years to come.

Two of the leaders of this club, Phoebe Zhang and Jonathon Sun, represented the country in the International Olympiad in Informatics,

IT Assist Club

Theheld in Hungary. This is the most prestigious computer science competition in the world for secondary school students, and a real privilege considering the national team consists of only four students. Phoebe also placed first in the Aotearoa Informatics Competition, and participated in the European Girls’ Olympiad in Informatics, placing third (the best-ever for a New Zealander!). The contributions and knowledge shared by these two amongst the club have been invaluable.

Rangitoto-Knightsbridge IT Assist Club is a recently formed collaboration between the college and the local Knightsbridge retirement community. A fantastic group of tech-savvy Rangitoto students have volunteered to help the Knightsbridge residents with their IT-related problems, through a range of presentations and online resources. We look forward to starting up officially in 2024.

Jazz School

Every Friday after school, our young jazz musicians come together to learn in-depth about jazz—phrasing, note choices, instruments’ roles, improvisation, and the language of jazz. We rotate between the beginner class and the intermediate class. Some students are already in jazz ensembles, and some are preparing to be in one.

These students are learning advanced jazz theory that is more than just soloing with the Blues Scale and they are starting to incorporate these into their solos. Each fortnight they are assigned specific tasks such as preparing solos, learning to play arpeggios, and using jazzspecific techniques when practicing. These students are the future of our jazz programme, and we are so proud of the progress they have made this year. We are very much looking forward to their progress in jazz throughout their time at Rangitoto College!

Junior Shakespeare

Junior Shakespeare is an exciting event put together by the English Department. We have an everyone-is-included policy that ensures that all students, who would like to, have the opportunity to perform on the stage.

After auditioning, the students are separated into separate casts with different teachers directing each cast. Each cast is then given a section of the play to perform. This is all brought together in a one-night-only incredible show where the casts work together to perform the entire play.

The performance is a hilarious amalgamation of students and personalities. It has been such an incredible, fun experience working with our junior students.

This year’s performance of A Comedy of Errors showcased the incredible talent of our passionate students and teachers.

O, villain, thou hast stol’n both mine office and my name: / The one ne’er got me credit, the other mickle blame.

International Students

This year saw our largest international intake in over two years with almost 200 international students from 28 different countries coming to study at Rangitoto College in 2023. It has been amazing to bring so much cultural diversity to the school with students coming from Austria, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Macau, Paraguay, Philippines, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, USA, and Vietnam.

Our students have made the most of their time at the school getting involved in a range of sports, musical groups, clubs, and activities. They have also taken the opportunity to see the wonderful sites and scenery New Zealand has to offer, from trips to the Bay of Islands, Rotorua, surf trips, and tours of the South Island to name a few. It was a pleasure having these students study at Rangitoto College and becoming part of our whānau.

KidsCan

Founded in 2022, the KidsCan Club has enjoyed a successful year, with over 200 members as of 2023. Our goal is to grow further and raise funds for KidsCan NZ Children’s Charity and Charitable Trust, supporting the education of underprivileged children around Aotearoa.

This year, we organised diverse events, from bowling with our sponsor Zone Bowling to making posters addressing education inequalities and child poverty in New Zealand. These activities helped students understand why we support KidsCan. We also teamed up with Rangitoto Letters to Strangers Club for a joint event, where students exchanged written letters about childhood to destigmatise mental health and raised funds for KidsCan through a raffle. A special thanks to ANZ, Black Antler Eatery, and Mestiza Chocolate for their generous sponsorships and support.

A big shoutout to our members and Ye Sul Kim! We look forward to being more involved next year in positively impacting children’s lives.

Korean Culture Club

Korean Language Club

안녕하세요,

한국어를 배우는

데 관심이 있나요? We’re thrilled to introduce the Korean Language club. Led by Regina Noh, this club immerses students in learning the Korean language of Hangeul (한글). Sessions take place every Tuesday after school, where students acquire the basics of Korean language, fostering confident communication using everyday expressions across diverse situations. In this supportive environment, self-expression blooms, and multilingual skills evolve.

The Korean Culture Club, a studentdriven organisation, endeavours to introduce the liveliness of Korean culture to the Rangitoto community in an enjoyable and inclusive setting. During our Friday lunchtime sessions, we engage in a diverse range of activities that facilitate students’ exploration of various facets of South Korea and foster interaction among those intrigued by the culture. Among the array of experiences, members partake in traditional endeavours like the Yut-nori (윷놀이) board game, trying on hanbok (한복), and embrace contemporary elements like K-pop, K-drama, and K-food—including the spicy noodle challenge (불닭볶음면). Noteworthy moments include learning modern K-pop dance from guest instructor, Terina of KDANZ, and crafting South Korean flags. Our current leaders, Seojin Hong and Samuel Yang, have adeptly guided the club’s operations. They aspire to create even more entertaining and imaginative activities in the future, extending an open invitation to fresh faces and ideas as we aim to expand the club in the coming year.

Korean, an intricate language with debated origins, boasts a history, culture, and elegance that captivates. The club also delves into Korean culture, exploring K-food like Tteokbokki and Kimbap, embracing K-pop, K-dramas, and traditions. This year we attended the Korean Language Trivia Night at Lynfield College and won the Best Dressed Award. New members are warmly welcomed as we aspire to further enhance the club’s journey ahead.

Letters to Strangers

Letters to Strangers (L2S) is Rangitoto College’s first mentalhealth-related club. We seek to destigmatize mental illness through anonymous, hand-written, heartfelt letter exchanges that aim to connect people in a non-confrontational way and share individuals’ vulnerabilities. Expressing ourselves through writing can act as a source of healing and comfort as well as reminding others that they aren’t alone. Since the establishment of the club back in 2022, L2S has grown to over 80 members and more than 200 letters have been exchanged between club members. Themes of letters this year have included Wildest Dreams, The Depths of Love, Change, Creative Writing, and Childhood.

Lion Dance

LionDance is a traditional dance that combines martial arts and rhythmic drumming for culturally significant and entertaining performances. This year, we had a wonderful performance as the opening act of our school’s annual Chinese Night, alongside a commission from an annual business event by the CCB. Experienced lion dancers also had an opportunity to help our parent lion dance branch with the Chinese New Year SkyCity performances.

In Term 2 L2S had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with The Microvolunteering Collective and Ara Taiohi to write letters to rest home residents. To conclude the year, we also collaborated with Rangi KidsCan Club to hold a letter exchange event that featured a raffle and shared lunch.

Thank you to all our wonderful members and see you next year for even bigger and better things!

Magic: The Gathering Club

WhenRoy and Aadvik approached me about founding a new club for the school, I was curious about how things would turn out. Between a steep initial learning curve and a maddeningly wide variety of cards to choose from (making it difficult to even know where to start) Magic: The Gathering comes with quite a high barrier of entry which causes players of the game to sometimes be hard to locate.

However, despite all these challenges, they have managed to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment for players of all skill levels. Every Friday after school, enthusiastic students gather in M12 to share in their passion for this iconic card game. These dedicated individuals have made this club a place where students can either work together to create new card combinations or challenge each other in the pursuit of strategic card-based glory. Going forward, I hope to see even more excited faces at this club as students bring more friends in for an exciting time.

Onwards, students! To victory!

Ellie Yamaguchi, Teacher in Charge

Needlework Club

This year we were excited to welcome students interested in all types of needlework to a new club at Rangitoto College. A range of fantastic students attended on Tuesday at lunchtime from those who are experienced sewists to absolute beginners. It has been wonderful to see the skills of those who are experts in knitting, crocheting, or embroidery get stuck into their work and teach other students who had never held a needle before. Students worked on a variety of projects, from felt toys to scarves and beanies. Others learnt how to make a magic circle, cast on a row of stitches, or embroider a straight line on cloth.

Congratulations to everyone who made progress this year and we look forward to continuing in 2024. Keep on sewing!

Novel Writing Club is a space for like-minded students who would like to stretch their creative legs by responding to various writing prompts, challenges and contributing to group world-building stories. Using the NanoWrimo Young Writers Programme, students collectively work on their aspiring novels, while sharing ideas and inspiration for their future tales. Attached to the right is a small slice from a greater world, supplied by one of our Senior members.

Novel Writing Club parkrun

Under the cover of darkness, two skilled figures, cloaked in shadows, darted across rooftops and between buildings. They sprinted from shadow to shadow, remaining forever hidden.

parkrun is an opportunity for students to help support these community-based run/ walk events.

parkrun is a weekly five-kilometre community run/walk event for people of all ages and athletic abilities. Students across all years have been taking part either as volunteers or participants, and in some cases performing both roles on one day.

Volunteering at parkrun is an opportunity for students to get outside, make new friends, have fun, learn new skills, and be a valuable part of their local community. parkrun is always

The twins of death crept past the gates and the guards, past the well-manicured shrubs and vibrant flower bushes. They made their way to the back of the house, and scaled the brick wall to the balcony. Prying open the window wasn’t difficult, but it made more sound than expected. It echoed in the silent night like a firecracker.

Once inside, the figures creeped along the carpet and soundlessly opened the doors along the hallway. Many of the children lying in their beds, still and asleep, were turned away from the entrance of their rooms, which made it easy to pounce. Those who slept differently, however, were trickier, but still vulnerable.

All the while, the moon shone high in the sky, protecting the silent attackers, hiding them from the world. It lit the cobblestone streets with a silver glow and cast shadows in rooms and alleys.

looking for new volunteers. They make sure the event is set up and packed away each week. Students could be organising the finish funnel, operating the timer, or scanning barcodes, there is something for everyone.

Most of our college support has been at Sherwood Reserve in Browns Bay, but students have also taken part at Hobsonville Point and Metro Park in Millwater. Some have even travelled further afield with their families, especially as parkrun is a global phenomenon with over 2000 events worldwide.

Philosophy Club

In Term 3 we kicked off Philosophy Club by discussing the claim that human and animal suffering disproves the existence of God. As was the case all year students engaged in vigorous, but respectful debate. As the Teacher in Charge, I was impressed by the creativity and bravery of the students as they encountered ideas for the first time. We discussed a few mind-bending thought experiments including the highlight of the year which was our discussion of Judith Jarvis Thompson’s Violinist Experiment. Students were able to discuss the morality of abortion without realising it which generated some thought-provoking questions and dazzling insights. I supplied a small spark of question or idea, and the students supplied the wildfire of exhilarating chat. I look forward to a future of exhilarating lunches discussing the big questions with our wonderful students.

Tyler Vinton, Teacher in Charge

Pick Up and Play

Pick Up and Play provides our Year 9 and 10 students with service and leadership opportunities through sport and play activity initiatives. The purpose of the initiatives is to increase spirit within Rangitoto College and strengthen the sense of cohesion within our community.

Each term focuses on a different sport/activity allowing students to participate in a range of opportunities.

In Term 1, students participated in badminton and in Term 2 basketball on the courts. These ran for five weeks starting in Week 6 and finishing in Week 10.

Term 3 was a Year 9 tutor class knockout volleyball tournament and Term 4 was the Year 10 volleyball knockout tournament.

The number of student leaders grew from 15 in 2022 to 42 students in 2023. We are excited to see this leadership continue to grow in 2024.

Pick Up and Play enables students to develop life-long skills such as interpersonal and leadership. Furthermore, all students can connect with each other and engage in another aspect of student life at Rangitoto College.

Platform for the Needy (PLANE) Club

This year, PLANE (Platform for the Needy) has been brought into Rangitoto College as a new club. Our aim is to advocate for human rights in Uganda, helping disadvantaged and vulnerable populations to help them have a better quality of life. We raised over $300 through a bake sale and raffle, going towards educational materials for orphaned children in primary and secondary schools in Uganda. With 100 new members in the Google Classroom this year, we have received some great involvement. Through various events such as poster making and article writing, students have advocated for human rights in Uganda such as gender-based violence, child labour, child poverty, accessible quality education, environmental conservation, and more.

Rainbow Rangitoto

It has been another fruitful year within the Rainbow Rangitoto community, where diversity, acceptance and pride were able to shine. We had members involved in Big Gay Out and other Pride events in February and that theme of unity continued throughout the year at gala events and diversity days both within and outside the college. In a year where in media the LGBTQIA+ community is too often underrepresented or cancelled, this group has worked hard to feel seen and heard. It has been ably led by its senior students towards their goal of making Rangitoto College a safer haven and a true ally. The journey continues and we thank the Senior Management Team for their work in partnership as well. Thank you to all the students who participate even if just to chill, and to those who can’t just know we see you. Everyone is welcome.

Rangi’s Hermes Express

Rangi’s Hermes Express is an anonymous pen pal club that is new to Rangitoto College this year. Students are assigned to a partner for a term and exchange letters with their pen pal, giving them the chance to express their emotions, talk about different events in their lives, and interact with someone whom they might not otherwise have met. Across the course of each term, students will drop letters to their pen pal into the Rangi’s Hermes Express mailbox, and at the same time, check to see whether any letters have been dropped off for them. Then, at the end of each term, pen pals are provided with the opportunity to reveal their identities to one another. Many of the students involved have expressed how much fun it is to exchange letters in this and build their relationship with their pen pals as friends.

Student testimonies:

“Teenagers nowadays are so focused on their phones and TikTok and Instagram but with Rangi’s Hermes Express people get a chance to handwrite letters to a stranger and get to know someone new. It is extremely exciting to get to check the letterbox knowing that you have a special piece of mail that is just for you. Since you use codenames, no one really knows who they’re writing to, so it adds an element of mystery and extra excitement to it. I am going to continue RHE for all the years it is running because it is a really fun way of interacting with strangers.” - Eleven

“Rangi’s Hermes Express has been really fun to be a part of. I was able to make a new friend over the terms that I participated in, and we clicked really well! It is always exciting to stroll past the Library and decide to check the letterbox on a whim, only to be delighted when you find a letter addressed to you. There is something so rewarding about writing real physical letters and I think the system worked really well.” - Lemony

“I have enjoyed Hermes Express as you can freely have a conversation with a person without having to talk face to face. It is also really interesting finding out the person’s personality and characteristics.” - 150

“I really enjoyed the fact that it was anonymous and we had the opportunity to meet our partners at the end.” - Blue

RangiSPCA

The Rangitoto College SPCA group has showcased a commendable dedication to supporting animal welfare through various fundraising initiatives in 2023. Their activities have been both innovative and impactful, reflecting their deep commitment to the cause. Students were involved in dog toy crafting, bake sales, and movie nights, all of which resonated well with their peers and the community at large.

Additionally, their efforts extend to practical donations, such as collecting blankets and homemade dog toys, underlining their genuine concern for animal comfort. Notably, they also channel their creativity into crafting informative newsletters that raise awareness about the importance of animal welfare.

These activities exemplify the students’ proactive approach to fundraising for the SPCA and have shown whakawhanaungatanga as their relationships have strengthened throughout the year. The Rangitoto College SPCA group stands as an inspiring example of how thoughtful initiatives can collectively contribute to meaningful change for animals in need.

Their efforts have included holding a movie night and showing The Super Mario Bros. Movie where they raised over $750. They have also been involved in the Red Cross Journey. This project has seen our members take on the challenge of walking 10,000 steps a day whilst learning about how refugees make the journey from their home country to New Zealand. They have also held a Pop-Up Thrift Shop and raised over $500. In July, Afaa, a Red Cross representative came from Wellington Head Office to present the student leaders with a certificate in recognition of their efforts this year.

Rangitoto Maths Competition Club

Every Wednesday members of the Rangitoto Maths Competition Club meet up to learn maths competition knowledge. This year we organised a very successful Rangi Mathex with over 120 participants, with our top Year 10 team coming first in the Auckland Mathex. In addition, we had huge success in multiple maths competitions, including Alston Huang, Gwang Ho Kim, and Leo Wang achieving first, second and third respectively in the Otago Junior Maths Competition, three prize awards (top 0.3 per cent) for AMC, and achieving one of the highest amounts of top 30s, distinction, and high distinctions in various other competitions.

Relay for Life 2023 was even more amazing than previous years. This year we had over 200 students and staff fundraising for the Cancer Society by running, walking, skipping, and even cartwheeling around the AUT Millennium Track for 12 consecutive hours. The theme for the event was Remarkable Together, which was reflected in the spirit of our Rangitoto College team—they kept up their energy and determination throughout a day of unpredictable weather. We were entertained by the various activities like tug of war, meditation, Zumba, a talent show, and many games. Dodging the rain and pushing on through strong winds, it was fantastic to see our ākonga vibrantly serving their community and demonstrating our school values. Rangitoto College successfully raised over $37,000— more than we ever have before. We will be back again next year and encourage all students to consider joining our team in 2024, as we continue to support the Cancer Society in the fight against cancer.

Relay for Life Scale Model Club

The club was originally formed several years ago and has made another appearance this year!

The fun and relaxing environment has enabled students to connect and collaborate with like-minded individuals, to create kitset models of planes, ships, and figurines; meeting for one, or more hours after school for one day a week throughout the year.

Science & Engineering Student Association (SESA)

In the heart of our resourceful club, the Science and Engineering Student Association (SESA), this year has been a testament to the extraordinary possibilities that arise from creativity, collaboration, and hands-on exploration. From the mesmerizing eruption of elephant toothpaste to the enchanting dance of colours in our DIY lava lamp experiment, we’ve shown that ingenuity can transform even the simplest of materials into captivating spectacles. Our boatmaking venture taught us that teamwork and clever design can conquer challenges as we navigated uncharted waters, while the awe-inspiring organ dissection unveiled the intricacies of life’s inner workings. We also indulged our senses with an ice-creammaking event that demonstrated the sweet rewards of science in everyday treats.

Embracing the art of science, we’ve harnessed the power of chemistry to light up the room with methane bubbles and witnessed the sheer beauty of a fire tornado. Each of these experiences has illuminated the realms of science and engineering in ways that textbooks could never convey. In the spirit of continuous growth, let’s look forward to another year of the unrivalled thrill of unveiling the secrets of the universe through the lens of science and engineering!

Special Olympics Sustainable Coastline Club

On Wednesday 7th June we took 15 of our students to a Special Olympics Football Ribbon Day at the Massey University Recreation Centre in Albany. All students gave their best efforts as for many of them this was their first Special Olympics experience. They won all of their games and came top of their group. The students thoroughly enjoyed representing Rangitoto College and had a wonderful day.

The Sustainable Coastlines Club is led by a small group of students who care about the Aotearoa environment. This student-run club provides aid to the Sustainable Coastlines Organisation which aims to restore shorelines by combating climate change and pollution.

The year of 2023 has been another very successful year for the Sustainable Coastlines Club. Members were able to have the opportunity to participate in activities and broaden their knowledge about our environment. Our student leaders organised two beach clean-ups, one at Browns Bay Beach

and the other at Takapuna Beach. Events such as these create a positive influence of kaitiakitanga within our community. In addition to our beach clean-ups, students were able to participate in an in-school club activity by researching and creating an educational poster to share on SCC’s Instagram page. The members had the opportunity to demonstrate how they achieve sustainability in their everyday lives. The aim of this event was to allow for a positive change in our world and for members to inspire other members and our wider community to carry out more sustainable practices.

The Rangitoto Reporter

UN Youth

The year 2023 has been an educational and insightful year for the members of UN Youth at Rangitoto College. Throughout the year members have been immersed in various events out of school such as Aotearoa Youth Declaration, Raise Your Voice, Auckland Model United Nations, and New Zealand United Nations. We have also had other in-school workshops and events such as consultations on the Auckland Council annual budget and Upper Harbour Local Board three year plan.

UNICEF

UNICEF at Rangitoto consists of a dedicated cohort of more than 200 active student members who share a common passion. Students, spanning all year levels, enthusiastically engage in various events driven by their commitment to raising awareness about global issues. The club has been run for over eight years having raised over $15,000. Every year, our students organise a series of engaging events to raise funds for meaningful causes, including a quiz night, movie night, and laser tag fundraiser. It is the perfect opportunity for students from Years 9-13 to collaborate, learn, and collectively work towards addressing pressing global issues.

The highlight of the year was Rangitoto College’s own Model United Nations. With over 50 participants debating on foreign intervention in conflicts and political corruption. Rangi MUN was certainly an amazing day which also provided delegates to get immersed in the world of civics and become more knowledgeable global citizens. UN Youth strives to inspire young people to become active global citizens who are confident with civics, and international relations.

United Students

United Students is a group focused on improving the school environment and making a lasting change for Rangitoto College’s students. The club’s main project is the creation of a community garden, with the aim of serving Rangitoto College and the wider community. Members have organized the project through their own initiative, advancing the goals of environmental sustainability and community nutrition. The club has surveyed several locations, consulting with the school, with potential sponsors, and with community members like the Knightsbridge Retirement Community. The club’s goals for next year are to secure approval for a site and break ground on the garden.

Members have demonstrated persistence and a passion for the school’s environment through their participation in United Students. Thank you for all your hard work and see you next year where we can make a big difference!

Performing Arts Co-Curricular Report

Not only did our production of Shrek the Musical appear like something had awoken from a two-year-long beauty sleep, producing a magical full-scale production, as well as having a full year of music making, dancing, and acting without restrictions made us feel like we had stepped into a fairy tale. At last, we were able to rehearse and perform just like in pre-Covid times, and what a pleasure it was!

Both staff and students seem to have appreciated this long lost/newly found freedom immensely, demonstrating with their dedication and commitment how much they value the opportunities offered to them in the Performing Arts department. On the following pages you will get a glimpse of the sheer size of the Performing Arts co-curricular menu—with high quality opportunities on offer in any discipline, style, or genre.

Our top results speak for themselves and are a true testament to the hard work which is put in by both students and staff to excel and grow in their chosen activities. I could not be prouder of our Performing Arts team and what they continue to bring to the stage year after year.

I would like to congratulate and thank all students and staff for the enormous contribution they have made to our co-curricular programme during 2023, as well as our parent community for their continuous support.

Markus Fritsch, HOD Performing Arts

“This year, I’ve had the enjoyment of being part of many different Performing Arts groups which have all allowed me to grow as a performer and as a person. Magnum Company and Hip Hop Megacrew have allowed me to branch out into different styles of dance while having the opportunity to represent the school at various competitions. Shrek the Musical and the Drama Company production of Puffs created environments of support and encouragement with groups of people that I value greatly. The Fundamentals choir and singing with Big Band, have taught me how to work as part of a cohesive team while stepping out of my comfort zone. All these activities have helped prepare me for a future in Performing Arts and I am so grateful for all the opportunities I’ve been given at Rangitoto College.”

Music Tuition Programme

Coordinator – Sarah McConnell

After three years of coping with the challenging and ever-changing Covid-19 restrictions it felt surreal to be starting off the tuition year in a relatively normal way. Students are increasingly making the most of being able to take instrumental, vocal, technology, and music theory lessons on-site—with several instruments maintaining significant waiting lists. Our team of 20 music specialists are rich in talent, passion, experience, enthusiasm, and skill—many juggle teaching loads at several different schools and run private home studios while maintaining their professional musicality by performing in/conducting community and professional ensembles, doing session and solo work, weddings, corporate gigs, and sometimes touring. The Music Department is so fortunate to be enriched every week by this dedicated and diverse team of experts.

Concertos & Cookies

Almost 200 students performed to a packed Auditorium at our annual Concertos & Cookies concert on in June. The audience eagerly devoured melt-in-the-mouth cookies (professionally baked, packaged, and labelled by the unbeatable team from Food Technology) and sipped on cups of tea, while enjoying a spectacular smorgasbord of music from our Concert Band, Wind Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, Sinfonia Orchestra, and two Chamber Trios. We were delighted to welcome a strong contingent of supporters from Knightsbridge Village, as well as families, friends, and teachers.

A Choral Confection

Our final showcase in the Music Department calendar, A Choral Confection, is always a delightful way to round off our concert series, and this year was no exception. Our audience was issued with a pick n mix of confectionery on arrival before being treated to melt-in-the-mouth programmes from our four choral ensembles, interspersed with sweet vocal solos and duos. A highlight of the evening was having a student from each choir conduct their ensemble for one programme item—there are definitely some future choral directors in our midst.

Jazz Club & Happy Hour

Lamps…camera…action!

An increased interest in jazz in recent years has seen the addition of three extra combos being added to the programme since our last official jazz club event, making a total of 12 ensembles! We made the call to split these groups across two events—Jazz Happy Hour (4 pm on a Friday—strictly one hour) and Jazz Club (5 pm on a Sunday—two hours)—and both were a huge success! It’s a wonderful sight to watch the eager audience lining up in the foyer, then being shown to tables and settling in to be entertained. To have a warm vibe coming from the crowd (and from the retro lamps) is essential for the confidence and morale of our performers, and we are so appreciative to the families, staff, alumni, MBIS, and Knightsbridge supporters who come along in droves to clap and cheer!

Rock & Rocky Road

Combine a darkened Auditorium, café-style seating, two stages, lighting effects, and stage smoke with delicious slabs of rocky road and 11 rock bands, four duos, three solo acts, and two very entertaining hosts…and what do you get? An incredible evening of rock (and rocky road)! We love this event, and our rock families do too. A record number of tickets were sold for this, our third rendition of the event, and we can’t wait to top that number in 2024!

Life in the Music Department!

“It’s an extremely friendly and encouraging environment.”

Devon Fenwick-Rose, Year 12

MIXTAPE: Dance Showcase 2023

MIXTAPE delighted audiences with a range of exciting, creative, and upbeat dance works! With over 240 students involved, performing to a crowd of over 870 spectators, this was the biggest show to date!

This year’s showcase was a combination of curricular and cocurricular classes and troupes, combining to showcase all students involved with dance at the college. Our Year 9 Dance students performed dances with throwback soundtracks incorporating the skills of jazz and street dance. For many of these students, this was their first time on stage, and they showed terrific confidence and energy every time they performed. Our enthusiastic Year 10 dancers showcased a crowd favourite, the cultural dance performance of the Samoan Sasa led by Jezeriah Holmes. Alongside this they have explored and honed their contemporary technique with their myths and legends-inspired contemporary dance. Finally rounding up the end of the show with a throwback to the era of disco!

The Year 11 students explored the bellowed musical of An American in Paris, alongside their contemporary work taught by alumni student Hannah Salatielu, and the upbeat style of street dance. Our Year 12 students wowed with their precise execution of their contemporary repertoire created by their teacher Renee Richards, alongside an engaging musical theatre piece from the classic Damn Yankees! The Year 13 Dance students have worked for two terms to produce their choreographic assessment works in a professional theatre! Gaining insight into the full creative process of producing a work, these students should be commended on their creativity and mahi to get their works completed to such a high standard. Alongside this, they explored musical theatre, hip hop, and contemporary in the realm of performance-based skills.

A very big thank you to all who helped in pulling together a show of this size, it has been the best to date and we can’t wait to be back in the theatre again soon!

Magnum Junior Troupe

This year Magnum Junior Troupe has provided a great opportunity for students to come together to grow and connect. Melody Ullrich, our student captain, has worked super hard on creating an upbeat, grungy, rock-styled jazz routine that displays the dancers’ talent. This piece titled Misery Business was first premiered at Dance Showcase and DanceNZmade, where they received second runner up in the 9-10 Division. We would like to thank Melody Ullrich for her work this year!

Magnum Senior Troupe

Magnum Senior Troupe, is an auditioned jazz technique ensemble made up of Years 11-13 students. This year, the skill level demonstrated at auditions was outstanding, which led us to select 18 dancers for Magnum Senior Troupe! These dancers have been a delight to work with and train this year. To begin the year, they combined with Junior Troupe for a Latin inspired work titled Livin La Vida Loca. This piece attained second at the National Dance Challenge in May and was cochoreographed by Year 13 students Kiera Hawkins and Sophia Snelgrove. The second work for the year is titled Lost in the World and showcased the fluidity and performance creativity of these senior dancers. The creative process was led by Sophia Snelgrove and Summer Hawkins and took out first place in the 11-13 Division and was first runner up overall at DanceNZmade. Summer and Sophia also received a choreography award for their work on this piece. A big thank you to our Year 13 dancers whom some of have been a part of our technique troupes since Year 9 and will be departing the college at the end of this year, we thank you for your dedication and service.

Magnum Company

Magnum Company is a contemporary dance-based group at Rangitoto College that focuses on creative choreography and working collaboratively, whilst homing in on the students’ technical skills. News Flash, one of their pieces, explores the idea of how fast news travels and within seconds the world knows, but along the way also becomes muddled and certain topics are emphasised through different news channels. This piece placed third at the National Dance Challenge earlier this year. 52, their second piece, is based around the 52 card suit and how each card represents something different and in order to be a character you must be prepared to lose. This piece was lucky enough to receive a director’s entry into nationals in Palmerston North. This year, it has been a pleasure working with student captains Olive Mortimer and Mia Weber to bring these numbers to the stage. We would like to thank Olive Mortimer for her hard work and dedication to Magnum company over the past two years as she graduates this year.

Hip Hop

This year has been one of the most successful years for Rangitoto College’s Hip-Hop Megacrew under the leadership of our Year 13 students Jennifer Liu, Sophia Snelgrove, and Felicia Zhang. With another huge turnout for auditions with 90 junior and senior students turning up to stake their claim. It is always such a privilege to witness the amount of talent that this school has at these auditions. Our Hip Hop Megacrew came away with first place in the Hip Hop Division at the National Dance Challenge and a student choreography award.

In the Term 2 holidays our crew competed at the Secondary Schools Blueprint competition alongside some of the best street dancers in Auckland. We were very proud to attain third place at this event and this is great recognition of the development of the crew over the past few years. Rounding out the competition season with DanceNZmade where our Megacrew competed in a very full open section and brought the energy with a crowd-pleasing set to finish out the competition. A big congratulations to the crew on their success in 2023 and we look forward to seeing what 2024 will hold!

Overture Ballet Troupe

This year we had another fantastic turnout for Overture Ballet Troupe auditions. With a difficult selection process, we ended up with our biggest troupe to date, which is a testament to the incredible skill of young dancers coming through the college. Overture was led this year by Year 13 Marissa Zhou and Year 11 Lyn Lin. The dance piece titled All Again is a lyrical stylised work with a narrative component. This year they have seen outstanding results coming first overall at the National Dance Challenge competition and winning the student choreography award. Also taking out first place overall in the Auckland DanceNZmade regional competition. Overture Ballet Troupe has been a pleasure to watch run this year and a privilege to see the development of all dancers involved. Another big thank you to Marissa and Lyn for all their creative energy in creating this beautiful choreographic work.

Drama

Drama Company

This year saw Drama Company take to the Pumphouse Theatre stage and step into the magical world of wizards with the play Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic an Off-Broadway play by Matt Cox. For those of you familiar with another young orphan… that one who lived… that one with a scar on his head… well forget him! This story was about the Puffs! A bunch of really nice, badger-loving, wizard students who happened to be at school at the same time. Full to the brim with 1990s references, this hilarious play was performed by two outstanding casts, one made up of Year 13s and Year 12s, and the other 11s, 10s, and 9s. Both casts brought their own brilliant interpretation of these larger-than-life characters to the stage, wowing audiences night after night. Special acknowledgements go to Year 10 stage manager Brody Donald and his band of student crew who worked tirelessly backstage during the show.

Theatresports

Theatresports is competitive improvised theatre, with students working in teams of four to produce short, comic scenes through a range of games and challenges. Every Tuesday afternoon features hilarious, once-only performances from a group of enthusiastic and talented students. In theatre sports, you enter a world where a cat can write a bestseller, deaths are frequently reversible, and the guns are all spaghetti—every week brings something new.

We welcomed many keen new members to the club in 2023, besides senior members who shared their know-how. Year 13 student leaders Harry Engleback and Callum Wilson ably led the club in fun and friendly weekly meetings, introduwcing new games, giving encouragement, and providing many comedic performance highlights over the year.

Some of our club members represented Rangitoto College in interschool competitions as part of the Theatresports Youth Programme (TYP). In these competitions, school teams from across Auckland perform for a live audience and are assessed by a panel of judges and given marks out of ten for three areas: technique, storyline, and entertainment. Succeeding in all of these requires quick thinking, creativity, courage, and teamwork. The audience gets involved as well, giving “ask-fors” for each scene, like a character or an unusual place for an event to occur.

Many of our juniors had their first chance to compete at Long Bay College, where our teams thoroughly entertained audiences with games such as genre rollercoaster (where the scene continues but the genre keeps changing) and furniture (where two team members become all the props and set that the other two require). This was followed by a player match at Orewa College, where team members Harry Engleback, Callum Wilson, Astrid Hebbink, and Harrison Cooper took first place. We then hosted a match at our own Performing Arts Centre, where judge Lori Dungey described our team’s performance as fabulous and innovative, and commented on their excellent energy. Later in Term 3, we hosted an interschool festival match, as well as an in-house competition to give more of our members the opportunity to perform for an audience. The students also enjoyed workshops run by TYP improvisation experts Lori Dungey and Simon Cameron, who focused on creating interesting characters and gave valuable tips for new games.

The Theatresports Club members should be proud of everything they’ve achieved this year, both in and out of competitions. We hope that the friends and memories the students have made will last for a long time. We thank our Year 13 members and wish them all the best for their future as we look forward to another fun and creative year.

Sports Director Report

Iwrite this in my last week as Director of Sport at Rangitoto College, August 15, 2023, three and a half years after I started in lockdown 2020. Time has literally flown by in what can only be described as an amazing journey in a community which I am deeply passionate about and care greatly for. A community where our mostly volunteer coaches and managers, turn up rain, hail, or shine, often multiple times per week, to unselfishly deliver sports opportunities to our amazing students. In a society where time is scarce with families having to navigate multiple pressures across all aspects of their lives, the true heroes in our sports programme are very much our volunteers. With a myriad of other things to do, these great people put others ahead of themselves and share our sentiments that involvement in sports makes our school and the lives of our rangatahi better. For that, we are eternally grateful.

As a window to our school, sport makes a massive contribution to the vibrancy and culture of Rangitoto College with its positive impact on the social, physical, and mental well-being of our students. It provides them with the opportunity to make new friends, learn new skills, cope with adversity, achieve personal and team goals, and most importantly have fun. It enables them to disconnect from the noise and live in the moment as they focus on the fresh air, that next kick or pass, and that can only be good for them. This morning Acting Principal Fay Meiklejohn and I were invited to a shared breakfast for the Junior Premier Girls Football team, by teachers and coaches of that team George May and Mark Freeman. The breakfast followed their training and was a lovely surprise to the girls who thought it was just going to be a post-training team meeting prior to their bronze medal play-off tomorrow. It was such a special morning as the coaches praised the girls for their commitment to each other and the way they had played their season. How they all turned up to every training and what a special group they were. The bonds and friendship among the team and the respect they had for each other, and their coaches, shone through and it was awesome. The team had also brought unexpected thank-you gifts for the coaches and the captain spoke with a maturity and sincerity that defied her years as she presented gifts on behalf of her team, thanking the coaches for their amazing coaching and mentorship throughout the season and complimenting her team on how they had played. This was indeed something quite special and, in many ways, reinforced why sport is such a beautiful vehicle. Regardless of what happens in the playoff game tomorrow night, this is a win already and really is what sport is about. Although this was a super special occasion, I know for sure that

all involved in our sport community to constantly remind yourself of the greater good that comes out of sport. Sure, be the best that you can be and strive for improvement, but also embrace the wider good that sport provides and be grateful for the coaches and officials who are giving up their time to help you as players or your child play sport.

thank you to my

Lastly

team, Nat Moe, Lisa Wiki, Natasha Mouat, and Brownz Tagaloa for your work and commitment to sport at Rangitoto

Sports Performance Academy

Our Sports Performance Academy (SPA) has seen another amazing year with the programmes on offer expanding and building on their connection to our wider sport-specific needs.

As we create more alignment through our Sports Performance Academy with our sporting codes, we appreciate the different needs of individual codes and understand the one size fits all approach needing tweaking to broaden and further develop our athlete skill base.

SPA Blue is catered more to those who are focused on their strength and conditioning with the objective of building happy and healthy relationships with exercise. Secondary to these relationships are improved athletic performance and injury prevention. It has been rewarding to see the students flourish within the programme by taking ownership of their training and decision-making.

Within the sports-specific module, we have seen an increase in those wanting to further develop their core skill base and to understand the progression of the skill once mastered.

This was evident in our Netball SPA as our young netball sisters focused on the skills required for the Rangitoto style of play and the philosophies

behind our netball culture. This was a segway into our preseason block and trial process which saw many of these young girls make our top competitive Year 9 teams.

Football SPA ran for Terms 1 and 2 again this year and has proved to be invaluable for our junior players. Working alongside our 1st XI Girls Football coach, who is also our football development coach, these young players were able to finetune the skills required to get the best out of their game.

Rugby forged ahead with a U15 Development

Boys Squad who took to Wellington to compete in the U15 Hurricanes tournament during winter tournament week. The squad was led by James Fuiava, our rugby development coach, and saw the boys add in an additional field training per week which alternated with a gym session to their already busy in-season training. The tournament was an epic week for these young lads who did themselves and us proud.

Talent ID was an approach that some codes took this year, with resource coaches running a series of development sessions for targeted players. These athletes have stood out over the course of their season and thrived in this new opportunity. Providing this extra focus and upskilling has not only improved season play but has also helped

pave a premier pathway for many of our athletes.

We have seen significant progress and progression in our SPA offerings and admire how our students embrace new challenges and continue to push themselves and their peers to improve.

Athletics & Cross Country

Athletics at Rangitoto College continues to show great success. This year we had another good turnout of students at our annual competitive school athletics day. Students competed in a variety of different track and field events, including 800 m, 400 m, and 100 m races as well as high jump, long jump, shot put, and discus.

The North Harbour Zones competition was then held in March at the AUT Millennium track and was an opportunity for our athletes to compete against neighbouring schools for the first time in a couple of years (due to Covid-19).

The day highlighted the talents of some of our sprinters such as Kenzie Bowden who won the junior girls 100 m and 200 m, and Mackenzie Guy and Nyla Spencer who took first and second respectively in the intermediate girls 400 m.

Not to be outdone by the track runners, the field athletes also came home with several titles. Mackenzie Guy and Mckenzie Kruck jumped the same winning distance in the intermediate girls triple jump with the winner being decided on countback. Our senior girls dominated the field events with titles to Cleo Loader in the long jump, Riley Sheldon in the triple jump, and Nadja Kumerich in the shot put.

Field events gold also went to Eric Taylor in the intermediate boys long jump, Zhan Bowden in the intermediate boys high jump, and Reid Davidson in the senior boys shot put.

A couple of weeks later the athletes travelled to Trusts Stadium to compete against the greater Auckland schools at the Auckland Champs. There were many great performances, but special mention and congratulations to the sprinters who banded together to win the intermediate girls 4x100 m relay, Joe Dolphin who took out the coveted senior boys 100 m title and equalled the Auckland record, Zhan Bowden who won the intermediate boys triple jump, Eric Taylor placed 2nd in the intermediate boys long jump, Talaya Vorster was 1st in the open girls pole vault, and Nadja Kumerich was 1st in the senior girls hammer throw.

Cross Country

After weeks of preparation, organization, and anticipation we unfortunately had to cancel our annual school cross country event due to the extreme wet weather and flooding we experienced in May.

Although we were unable to capture our top competitive runners, we still had a group of 18 students represent Rangitoto at the North Western Zones event held at Moire Park, Massey and despite our small numbers still came away with some great results.

Nyla Spencer – 3rd overall intermediate girls race

Nyla Spencer, Rebbeca Redpath, and Mali Lynskey – 2nd intermediate girls 3-person team

Cristian Nita, Takuma Iwasaki, and Ashton Lathwood – 3rd senior boys 3-person team

Cristian Nita, Takuma Iwasaki, Ashton Lathwood, Sebastian Camus Rogers, Richard Peng, and Hyungmin Cho – 2nd senior boys 6-person team

We then had 13 students compete at the Auckland Cross Country Championships held at Lloyd Elsmore Park, Pakuranga which consisted of the best runners from across Auckland. All students raced well in what were very wet and muddy conditions underfoot.

Congratulations to Year 12 student Eryn Westlake who placed 3rd overall in the intermediate girls race at this event. An awesome achievement!

The last distance running event to take place for the year was the Auckland Road Race Championships held at Bruce Pulman Park, Takanini. We had 12 students participate at this event, all giving it their best against the top runners in Auckland. A special mention to Owen Sze and Anson Tsang who placed 8th and 9th respectively in the intermediate boys 4 km race. A great effort!

At the end of Term 4, 2022 we had 12 students represent Rangitoto College at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Athletics/Road Race Championship held at the TET Stadium in Inglewood, Taranaki.

All athletes competed to a high level in very challenging conditions. It was great to see many of our athletes make it through to finals in their respective events with some personal bests being achieved as a result.

Rangitoto College came away with six podium results (four individual events and two relays). Congratulations to the following students who received medals.

Badminton

Nadja Kumerich – 2nd senior girls hammer throw & 3rd senior girls shot put

Nyla Spencer – 3rd junior girls 300 m hurdles

Talaya Vorster – 1st junior girls pole vault

Junior Girls Relay team (Nyla Spencer, Emma Young, Mackenzie Guy & Kenzie Bowden) –1st 4x100 m relay and 2nd 4x400 m relay

Our Badminton students had an outstanding season with growth within our school badminton community, both social and competitive.

Our Senior Boys placed within the North Harbour League and our Junior Girls, Felicia Chen and Clara Lam, took silver at the Auckland Champs Junior Girls Doubles.

The Badminton New Zealand Secondary School Championships recently unfolded in Porirua, Wellington, showcasing a week-long display of exceptional talent, intense competition, and nail-biting matches. This premier event brought together the finest young badminton players from secondary schools across the nation, and among the standout teams was Rangitoto College’s Boys Badminton team, who secured an impressive eighth-place finish. The tournament, comprising eight intense ties, offered a platform for the rising stars of New Zealand’s badminton scene to demonstrate their prowess on the court. Each day the athletes left it all on the court, vying for victory and the coveted title of national champion.

Rangitoto College’s teams had their dedicated teacher Quintin KwokHeon supporting them and we are grateful for Quintin who volunteered to travel to nationals with the team. Our overall achievement is not only a testament to the talent within Rangitoto College’s badminton teams but also to the broader community that supports and nurtures young athletes. It underscores the importance of fostering sportsmanship, dedication, and teamwork among students, attributes that will serve them well both on and off the badminton court.

As the Badminton New Zealand Secondary School Championships concluded, the Rangitoto College’s Boys Badminton team can proudly reflect on their journey and look forward to continued growth and success in the world of badminton. Their remarkable performance in this prestigious tournament serves as an inspiration to aspiring young athletes throughout New Zealand, reminding them that with dedication and hard work, they too can achieve greatness in the sport they love.

Basketball

Premier Boys

After a hard-fought year with the Premier Boys Basketball team in 2022, legendary basketball phenomenon Kenny Stone decided to hang up his whiteboard to travel the world. Kenny has left behind a rich legacy that has lasted a decade at Rangitoto College.

A new year meant new coaching staff, with the appointment of Breakers Assistant Coach Chanel Pompallier who brought with her assistant coaches Tony Webster, Rochelle Pompallier, and Paul Webber. Alongside the staff came an entirely new playing roster for an exciting new season ahead.

The premier competition saw the team struggle for a fair amount of the season, but the boys did not shy away from their hard-fought battles. A 60-point deficit against Westlake Boys at home to open their campaign, followed by a 49-point deficit against Mount Albert Grammar this season was not the start we were looking for. In round three little improvement was made, with a close loss against Saint Kentigern’s, before a showdown with St Peter’s. With the return of 2022 starting point guard Michael Ropotini, Rangitoto fought hard against a young St Peter’s team to earn their first win of the season.

After the holiday period, the team went on the road again to beat old foes Sacred Heart in front of a packed house before returning home to a tight encounter against the defending champions, Rosmini College, losing only by nine.

Round two started off at Westlake Boys, who shot out to an early 20-point lead in the first half. Rangitoto never gave up and fought hard to tie the game with 1:08 to go. Westlake ended up nudging ahead in the last 12 seconds to take the win by one. To round off, Rangitoto went on to fight hard but lost closely to Auckland Grammar, St Peter’s, and eventual greater Auckland basketball tournament winners, Mount Albert Grammar School.

There were a lot of highlights and a lot of learnings made from such a young and inexperienced team, but the boys showed a lot of resilience and built strong character going through adversity together. At the time of publishing the team are in preparation for the national qualifying tournament to bid for a spot at the Secondary Schools Championships in early October. We forward to building, growing, and developing these young men and getting them primed and ready for 2024.

Junior Premier Boys

The Junior Premier Boys Basketball team had a great season with success both in their North Harbour competition and within their wider North Island competitions. Coached by Rangitoto alumni Gabe Davidson and Daniel Wright, the squad had backand-forth games with talented teams from both Westlake and Kristin throughout the regular season. The three teams jostled for the top two spots within North Harbour, with Rangitoto falling to third on the table and narrowly missing out on a spot at the Greater Auckland Championships. Despite this, the boys rallied well to win their 3rd/4th playoff game to finish within the top three.

The boys also competed at the Zone 1 regional competition, where again they were faced with strong competition from talented sides including Westlake, Kristin, Takapuna, and Auckland Grammar. The team adjusted well to longer games and new additions to the team personnel. Throughout the tournament, the team played two games per day which allowed players to assume more responsibility and contribute in a variety of ways.

Overall, the team’s experience this season was full of challenges, successes, and learnings for the future.

Premier Girls

The Premier Girls Basketball team has had an outstanding season which has seen them come together as a group and develop as basketball players.

The team started the year with a tough loss to Northcote College in a relegation/promotion game, which meant they were relegated to the Senior A grade competition. This proved to be a blessing in disguise as being in this grade gave the players the chance to improve their skills and allowed the team to grow in confidence.

The girls were undefeated in the regular season, winning most games by a significant margin. The team had a gritty win against a physical Mt Roskill team in the semi-finals and this guaranteed them a shot at promotion back into the Premier Grade at the start of next year. Sadly, the team went on to lose to Manurewa High School in the competition finals (74 to 71). Throughout the season the team have shown how driven they are to succeed and, given the large number of junior players in the team, they have exceeded all expectations.

At the time of publishing, the team’s focus is now on qualifying for the National High School Basketball tournament and winning promotion

Junior Premier Girls

The Junior Premier Girls Basketball team had a fantastic year in terms of results, player development, and team chemistry. We finished the season with a 21-win, 1-loss record, winning the North Harbour U15A Premier grade, Greater Auckland Championship, and National Zone 1 Championship. In the Greater Auckland Basketball tournament, which saw the top eight teams in the greater Auckland area compete over a three day period, the team dominated, winning all five games convincingly, including a 32-point win over Westlake in the final.

The highlight of the year, however, was the National Junior Zone One Championship. The team played seven games, winning most games by over 60 points. Even though the team was understrength for this tournament the girls performed exceptionally well, winning the final 66-47 over Westlake.

It was an enjoyable season with some big wins and excellent team play. The team had a good mix of Year 9 and 10 students. Five of the girls made the North Harbour U15 Rep side, while one of the girls made the North Harbour U13 team. On top of this six of the junior girls were also selected in the Rangitoto Senior Premier team who also had a very successful year.

Maddison Skelton captained the side and showed great leadership, competitive drive and understanding of the game throughout the year. Sienna Maurice dominated on both ends of the court, using her speed and vision to run the team offensively and often defensively taking care of the other team’s best player. Kyree Rakena’s ability to power her way to the basket and score with both hands was impressive, Kyree along with Sienna and Maddison formed the backbone of the team. Amelia Andrews and Zoe Magiera shot the 3-point shot with great accuracy

back into the Premier Grade in 2024. This year we say goodbye to Year 13s Tamsin McAsey and Esther Roberts, but with the large majority of the team staying on for next year we are in an exciting position—watch this space!

at critical times throughout the season, while Jezariah Holmes and Grace Giles dominated defensively when available. Another noticeable mention must go to Jade Hopkins, Georgia Howlett and Renhanrui Li who used their height to good effect, understood their roles, and did whatever was required to win games. A special mention here must go to Gordon Skelton who provided additional coaching in terms of how to play as a big in basketball. This made a huge difference to the girls’ confidence and the overall team’s success. Finally, Jessy Westerkamp displayed all the values of the college throughout the season as well as dedication, commitment, and the want to improve.

The future of basketball is looking bright with some young talented, committed, and passionate players coming through. The Junior Premier team is also looking strong for next year, with four returning players, many of whom played starring roles in 2023.

Basketball 3v3

The Basketball 3v3 tournament was a resounding success. Teams from various backgrounds and skill levels came together to showcase their skills, talent, and passion for the game. The competition was intense, with thrilling matches that kept spectators on the edge of their seats. The event’s organisers (BBNZ) ensured smooth logistics and a vibrant atmosphere, creating a sense of camaraderie among participants and fans alike. Overall, the 3x3 Basketball tournament went well, promoting the sport’s popularity and leaving everyone eagerly anticipating the next instalment of this exciting competition.

We entered Junior Premier Boys and Girls, and our Senior Premier Boys and Girls teams into the Elite Division. They all competed very well with all teams making the top 20 schools in the country. Our Junior Premier Girls managed to make it right to the final stages of the tournament walking away as bronze medallists! Congratulations to Kyree Rakena, Maddison Skelton, Mela Andrews, Renhanrui Li, and Sienna Maurice.

We cannot wait to enter this tournament again. Bring on 2024!

Linda Chen, Year 13 Design

Beach Volleyball

This year will go down in the Rangitoto College beach volleyball history books as our most successful year to date. In January, many of our players represented North Harbour at the Interprovincial Championships, where several top-three placings were gained. February brought on the Secondary Schools Beach Nationals where Rangitoto College won three gold and two 4th places in Division One, along with a silver in Division Two. Another outstanding start to the year with all involved playing some unbelievable beach volleyball with great gamesmanship.

By winning the gold medal at nationals, Kaia Buckley, Kiana Stevenson, Ryan Jefferson, and Juan Carlos Quintero qualified to compete at the ISF World Secondary School competition. This year it was held in Israel, in May. The players, along with their parents and Alan Kerr represented Rangitoto College with pride as they competed against some schools, but mainly national pairs from all around the world. The girls finished 6th and the boys 11th. Four worthy and formidable ambassadors.

Ryan and Kiana were selected to represent New Zealand at the Beach Volleyball Asian Championships. The diverse culture created by the other countries and students made it so much more enjoyable as they were able to meet a lot of new people. This tournament helped create a greater understanding of the different levels of competition and the different ways of playing the sport. This included teams like China and Thailand playing the sport at a much more consistent level (minimal mistakes) while other teams like New Zealand and Kazakhstan used a lot more power, strength, and risk. Managing the high humidity and 35 degree heat challenged them, but prepared them for future competitions.

Kiana was then selected to represent New Zealand at the Youth Commonwealth Games, held in Trinbago. This was in addition to representing New Zealand Open Women in the Continental Cup and being the 4th ranked Open Women player in New Zealand. At the games, Kiana and her partner gained a bronze medal. She played some exceptional beach volleyball honing her skills and learning some new ones along the way. Congratulations Kiana for an outstanding achievement and for being awarded Young Player of the Year by Volleyball New Zealand. Kalea Norton is to be congratulated for her selection as a reserve for the Youth Commonwealth Games team.

As with all successful teams, it is the preparation prior to and during competition that ensures all players are ready to play to their best. We are grateful to have the expertise of our coaches Johann Timmer and

Adam Watson who inspire our players through their knowledge, tactical insight, and intense training sessions. Additionally, Sharon Redpath and Alan Kerr organise, inspire, and make sure all involved uphold the teams’ positive culture while leaving it all on the sand. As always thank you to the unwavering support of the players’ whānau who provide amazing sideline support for all teams.

With 2024 approaching, there are many young players who are training hard to become the best they can be, while a number of Year 13s are leaving the college. We wish them well in whatever their futures hold beyond our kura and thank them for being tenacious, passionate, and respected role models.

Cricket

1st XI Cricket

Boys Cricket

Whata chaotic but beautiful start to 2023. We are excited to highlight the successes and opportunities that are being developed in cricket at Rangitoto College this year.

The 1st XI Girls coach, Nathan Banks, has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to build a legitimate cricket programme for girls. Part of that legitimacy is premier status. The recognition as a Premier team is something new, special, and well-deserved. We are extremely excited to see the growth and development of our programme for girls’ cricket over the next few weeks, months, and years to come. Well done to everyone involved.

We also trialled a new initiative with our Rangitoto Cricket Development Programme in Term 1 which went extremely well. The new initiative involved all the cricket teams coming together and training collaboratively in an intensive eight-week programme. This was led by the energetic 1st XI Boys coach and alumnus Mark Badland, with the support of alumni East Coast Bays players Max Butler, Isaac Bird, and Kyle Kieser. Not only are these sessions growing and developing the skills and cricket knowledge of our rangatahi, but they also offer the opportunity to build a vibrant and connected Rangitoto cricketing community. What a great opportunity to level up all areas of cricket from fielding, batting, bowling, and general technical and tactical aspects of the game.

This was a fantastic moment for Rangitoto College. Singing from the same song sheet, working in partnership with East Coast Bays Cricket and Mitre 10 Mega Albany with the same goal in mind and that is to serve the cricketers of our community. We cannot wait to see what 2024 brings.

Thank you to everyone who jumped on the waka, picked up an oar, and confidently just started paddling to a bright and successful future.

In the world of sports, victories and defeats are an inherent part of the game. The journey of the Rangitoto 1st XI Boys Cricket team through the first half of the season exemplifies perseverance and the unpredictable nature of cricket.

With a win/loss record of 50 per cent, the team has encountered the full spectrum of emotions, from triumphant victories to hard-fought battles ending in defeat. Often losses came from our own downfalls rather than being outclassed by the opposition. However, at all times this team has embraced the challenge, consistently regrouping and pushing forward.

One of the defining factors of this team’s journey has been the unity displayed within the squad. The locker room atmosphere has remained positive, with players supporting each other and working collectively to achieve goals. This cohesion has translated onto the field, enabling them to deliver quality performances.

Our senior players are currently leading the charge, with Te Manewha Rikihana leading the batting stats, followed by Jacob Badland and Somesh Fageria with notable performances. Somesh has also had an outstanding start to the season claiming 19 wickets with the ball, with Kushal Kanchinadham, Zach Robertson, and Matthew Childs also delivering strong contributions. The team has worked tirelessly on their fielding skills which has certainly contributed to the strong start. Led by Max McKinnon behind the wickets with 13 catches, followed by Jacob Badland with nine.

When the team has the right energy, the opposition will often find it difficult to score freely and there is often brilliance shown by a number of players within the team. Beyond the numbers on the scoreboard, the Rangitoto 1st XI Boys has consistently upheld the values of sportsmanship and fair play. At the time of publishing, as the second half of the season draws near, the team is poised to embrace the challenges and triumphs that lie ahead following some hard pre-season training.

2nd XI Cricket

The Rangitoto 2nd XI had a successful start to the year, victorious in three out of four games. After not fielding a team last year, the 2nd XI was reformed this year with primarily Year 11 students. The team showed great resilience, some weeks contending with a wet ball and drenched field and adapting their game to the conditions.

The first week was a little rocky, coming up against an opposition of Year 13 students who punished loose deliveries, dispatching a couple of balls into the brambles never to be seen again. However, in the following weeks the boys showed great maturity, not panicking when early wickets were lost or when the opposition had great partnerships.

Our second week brought our first win, with a low-scoring game on a very wet pitch. Our spin bowlers did an awesome job, with Toby Fletcher (3/13) taking early wickets, Gus Rose (2/13) and Regan Slabbert (3/3) knocking over the lower order. Toby Fletcher carried his bat as part of a successful run chase.

A sunny morning for our third game, we got our highest score for the season (171/8). Caleb Swan 30 (24) and Toby Fletcher 24 (30) had a great opening knock, and some great bowling from Toby Fletcher (3/8) and James Reynolds (3/23) got us home.

The final game was played on a very dewy morning, with lots of sliding around in the outfield and water spraying everywhere. Wickets were spread around the entire bowling line-up, bowling the opposition out for 121. James Reynolds carried us home with an unbeaten 44*, putting on an impressive display of calling and running between wickets, well supported by Regan Slabbert (28) and Ariel Bradshaw (18).

Well done to all the team, and a big thanks to players from the Colts 1 and First XI teams who helped us out each week.

Girls Cricket

Term 1 2023 was a term of firsts for our 1st XI Girls team (since restarting our girls’ cricket programme in 2019).

It started with entering our girls into the 1A Grade for the first time. Any nervousness around the step up in competition was quickly dispelled as a mix of comfortable wins and a couple of very close losses showed the girls certainly belonged. Despite it resulting in a loss, a highlight of the term came in the first opportunity for the girls to play on the grass wicket at home. We put together an outstanding all-around team performance and really pushed a King’s 1st XI team with four Auckland age group representatives to our zero, losing with only three balls to spare.

Another first for 2023 was our participation in the Gillette Venus nationals qualifying tournament. Open to all Premier and 1A Grade teams this was an awesome chance to experience some tournament format cricket against the best teams in Auckland. There were so many positives to take away from the event, most notably our first win against a Premier Grade team with a very comfortable 9-wicket win over Saint Kentigern College.

On another note, just as exciting as all the firsts for our 1st XI was the passion for cricket shown from our 2nd XI Girls team. Despite a relatively new group of girls, the season was full of so much energy and positivity both at training and on game days. The improvement from the first game of the term to the last was massive and a testament to the girls’ curiosity and commitment towards learning about the game, helped along the way by two student coaches, Billie East and Zaara Sain.

In previous years we’ve had two teams compete in Term 1, but it is looking likely that 2023 will be the first year we will also be entering two teams into the Term 4 half of the season—an exciting sign for the future of Rangitoto College girls’ cricket!

Relationship Building

In a great opportunity for girls from our surrounding schools, Coach Nathan and a number of our 1st XI Girls ran a 6-aside cricket festival focusing on participation, giving the game a go, and just having a bit of fun.

There were nine teams from three different schools (including our Year 9 girls) totalling 54 girls participating in this great sport we call cricket. Five rounds of 6-over games with a 1st XI girl taking a team each, either coaching, umpiring, scoring, or assisting in some capacity which was a great leadership opportunity for our 1st XI girls too. The winners of the tournament were MBIS Blue. Best Team/School Spirit Award went to MBIS Orange, as voted by the coaches.

Thank you MBIS and Northcross Intermediate for giving our girls an opportunity to lead, to coach, to mentor, and to grow. We hope you enjoyed your time with us.

Canoe Slalom

Once again, the school’s kayaking team have had a busy yet fulfilling season this year. The season kicked off with the annual New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Canoe Slalom Championships which was held at the picturesque Tekapo Whitewater Park. During the competition, Rangitoto College was able to gain several podium finishes throughout the five days. Notably, there was Yeonsu Na who won two bronze medals in the Senior Kayak Mens Division as well as in the Kayak Cross Mens Division. Paddler Junsu Na successfully won silver in the Intermediate Kayak Mens Division. This was followed by the New Zealand National Championships where Junsu Na then placed 3rd in his respective age category yet again. Overall, this was a very successful campaign done by the team.

However, the major highlight must be when Yeonsu Na was able to represent Korea at the 2023 ICF Canoe Slalom Junior World Championships held in Krakow, Poland. He was also invited to the Talent Identification Programme which was a two-week-long intensive training camp hosted by the International Canoe Federation in the lead-up to the competition. This was his first time competing at the international level and he paddled extremely well under this new environment.

During the season break, the emphasis of the school’s kayaking team will be placed on the expansion and growth of this sport in Rangitoto College. With the proximity of an Olympic standard artificial whitewater course in Auckland as well as support from some of Aotearoa’s elite paddlers, the kayaking team is hoping to organise a school-wide programme so that there can be a full team of athletes in time for the next season.

The Rangitoto College Equestrian Team competed in three events this year at St Peter’s School in Cambridge. The first event of the three was the St Peters Inter-school Dressage competition in June. The event was a testament to the discipline and skill of the team’s riders, with Olive Burrows and Taylor Rawbone and their ponies Pipi and Hopeful. Their participation not only demonstrated their abilities but also highlighted the commitment of Rangitoto College to fostering the Equestrian community.

Continuing their impressive journey, our other riders in the team participated in the St Peters Inter-School Showjumping event in August in Cambridge. The riders delivered exceptional performances, showcasing their bond with their horses and jumping to amazing heights. Among the standout participants were Honey and Trixie Fitt-Allen, Tyra Bickford, and Alex Twose. Each of them competed in different events, adding a layer of diversity to the team’s overall accomplishments.

Rangitoto College’s equestrians have shown their commitment to excellence both in and out of the arena. These competitions not only provide a platform for students to exhibit their riding skills but also teach valuable lessons in teamwork, perseverance, and horsemanship.

As the team from Rangitoto College continues to make their mark in various competitions, their achievements stand as a source of inspiration. Through their accomplishments, they exemplify the college’s values and dedication to fostering well-rounded individuals who excel in both academic and extracurricular pursuits.

Modern Olympic fencing is a fast-paced, technical game that demands fitness and a tactical sense. This modern sport can trace its roots to the historical practice of duelling.

This year the Rangitoto College Fencing Club has expanded again to training three nights a week, to accommodate more beginners showing interest in the sport.

Rangitoto fencers have been busy competing in local, national, and international competitions, with Rangitoto fencers picking up bronze medals at the Fencing North Secondary Schools Teams competition and representing New Zealand at the 2023 Australian Youth and Cadet Junior Championships in Sydney.

Fencing captain Ashleigh Catlett has led a new interest in competing and development among the club’s senior members. This year Rangitoto coach Nour Malak was selected to attend a three-month coaching training in Budapest, Hungary, taking one of six spots globally. She has since been putting those skills to use in our Monday classes.

The Rangitoto College Fencing Club looks forward to continuing building our programme in 2024.

Fencing Golf

Rangitoto College had an exceptionally talented Premier Golf team this year. The team consisted of the following players: Amy Im (Year 13), Leo Liu (Year 10), Oliver Kiing (Year 10) and Juwon Kim (Year 9). The squad had a fantastic interschool 9-hole competition in Term 1, winning the Premier North Harbour Division. During Term 2, the team participated in the Auckland Golf Secondary Schools Strokeplay event which consisted of 36 holes at Akarana and Redwood Golf Clubs. In the individual event, Oliver placed 2nd with a combined gross score of 136 and Leo placed 3rd with a combined gross score of 137. Amy won the girls individual event with a combined gross score of 139. These were outstanding results! On top of this, the squad won the overall teams division, qualifying them for nationals in Timaru during Term 3. We will be sad to lose Amy next year but are looking forward to building another strong team for the years to come.

Football

Football at Rangitoto College has been incredibly successful in 2023.

This year we have seen huge growth in the number of students wanting to play football. Overall, we had 17 teams, a five-team increase from 2022.

A massive thank you to all coaches, managers, volunteer referees, players, and parents for making this season happen and for contributing to the success of our football programme. It also has to be said that it was incredible to have a FIFA World Cup right here in Aotearoa and this can only encourage more of our rangatahi to take up the beautiful game. Bring on 2024!

Premier Football

1st XI Girls: Daniel Semp & Kate Sanderson

The 2023 season for our 1st XI Girls has been nothing short of spectacular, marked by achievements, growth, and unforgettable moments that will be cherished for years to come. In the College Sport Premier Girls competition, our talented squad secured a well-deserved 3rd place, missing out on winning the competition by two points—showcasing their dedication and skill on the field. This achievement not only reflects their commitment but also the exceptional quality of players and teamwork that defines our team.

Tournament week proved to be a highlight, with our team finishing in an impressive 6th place. Their sportsmanship and camaraderie throughout the week left a lasting impression, making us proud. We had a huge number of junior students play for us in this competition which gives us lots of confidence for future years.

Beyond the field, this season was also marked by memorable moments during trainings and team activities, fostering a sense of unity and friendship among the players.

Good luck to our Year 13 girls who are leaving the school. Your commitment to this team has been nothing short of exceptional. You have led this team and can be proud of the way you held yourselves. All the best as you continue your own football journey!

1st XI Boys: Craig Fickling, Richard Stuckey & Julia Li

It was a successful 2023 season for the 1st X1 Boys. The College Sport Senior A1 League was a two-horse race to win the league between Rangitoto and Selwyn. We lost the first game against an impressive Selwyn College team but then produced a great performance later in the season which resulted in a draw in the second game. The team finished 2nd place and secured a promotion/ relegation play-off game early next year for the Premier competition.

Winter tournament week was held in Nelson where the team competed in NZSS Jim Wishart tournament. Quarter-final 1-0 victory over Christchurch Boys, semi-finals 1-0 victory over Otago Boys, and final 2-1 victory over Whanganui. Tournament champions for the second year running! There were seven goals from Miki Squires, and the captaincy of James Watt and Isaac Lovering kept the team focused on the game plan and produced successful results. A great team effort with all 17 players contributing to the win.

Thank you to Craig Fickling, Richard Stuckey, Julia Li, Daniel Semp, and Natasha Mouat for all their time and dedication to the 2023 1st XI season.

Boys Football 2nd XI Boys: Richard Stuckey

Another great season that saw us finish grading unbeaten and top of the league. We were hoping to go one better this year but came unstuck against a vastly improved Takapuna and finished 2nd in the North Harbour Senior B Championship grade again.

Big shout out to the six players who stepped up to the 1st XI team throughout the season and the Year 13 and overseas players who will be leaving us.

Senior Boys Blue: Adam Robins

The Rangitoto Senior Blue team competed in the Senior C North Division this season. We started strongly with a 4-0 win over Rosmini but slowly lost steam. After two losses to the top two teams of the grade, we quickly bounced back with a change in formation to finish 5th overall. The highlight of this season would have to be a 3-2 comeback win against Long Bay Black after being 2-0 down with Tom injuring himself in setting up the final goal. I could not be prouder to coach this team and have had an amazing season with them, I wish them all the best for their future footballing endeavours.

Senior Boys White: Aaron Gray & Joel Hodge

At the start of the season, we held our first training session and not many of our teammates knew each other. Throughout the season the boys started to get to know each other and create bonds in our team. It meant that a lot of our players were excited to come to training and play games together. By halfway through the season there was a significant increase in our team’s skills and the way we played together, we had won a very tight match that was our best of the season and this is when our player’s confidence skyrocketed, and our team became a much stronger force on the field.

Year 11 Boys Blue: Mike McLean

This year we built from a focus on strong defence and developed through our midfield and forward combinations. Every week we improved on our weaknesses and continued taking advantage of our strengths. The team was just that, a team, and worked very well together, always supportive and encouraging of each other. The result at the end of the regular season was second. In the championship round we conceded just three goals and scored 11 goals, better than the winners but unluckily came second by just one point. We are very proud of the team’s achievement, collective improvement, and commitment all season.

Year 11 Boys Red: Drew Spark

Year 11 Red had a great season. We had some difficult results but the standard of football that was played consistently improved each week. The boys put in a huge amount of work at training and in their spare time which positively impacted both individual skills and team performances.

Year 10 Boys White: Alexis Townshend

It was a rough start to the season, conceding a (considerable) number of goals in our first game. However, once training started, the team improved every week, bringing the goal difference down each game until a 1-1 draw against Long Bay end of Term 2.

Our final game was a rematch against Westlake, who had previously beaten us 10-0. The boys played a great game, with the final score being a 1-0 loss, with plenty of opportunities to even the scoreline.

Year 10 Boys Blue: Matthew Reid

10B Blue did not start the season well with a defeat against one of the many Westlake teams in the competition, but soon hit their stride, and played some silky football with some impressive results. The highlight for many was a 5-1 win in the Rangi Classico against the other 10B team. We were also fortunate to have a huge amount of home games, which helped our familiarity and confidence.

We went into the final game against Westlake Stanley knowing a win would give us the championship but sadly lost 2-0, the first time we failed to score a goal all season. It was a memorable campaign full of solid goalkeeping, great goals, inspiring speeches, pointless bicycle kicks and cringeworthy celebrations. All in all, a great bunch of lads.

Year 10 Boys Red:

Nathan Chapman, Ronald Chen & Ben Hunt

Ronald, Ben, and Nathan had the pleasure of coaching an amazing group of Year 10 boys for the 2023 season. Having coached most of these boys in Year 9, it was awesome to see their connection and culture from the get-go. This season was a bumpy ride, starting with a series of losses which tested their resilience and teamwork. As the season progressed, they dedicated countless hours to practice, refining their skills and putting 110% effort into each game until the end whistle, which as coaches was all we could ask for. Slowly but surely, their hard work began to pay off and in the final game of the season, they showcased the culmination of their season-long journey, winning in a thrilling and closely contested match against Macleans.

Year 9 Boys Blue:

Kenzie Longmuir, Catherine Smith & Hayun Seo

The Year 9 Boys Blue team put grit, energy, and determination into their entire season this year. With some boys new to the sport, it was truly a season of development as every individual in the team showed improvement technically and tactically, and the team’s cohesiveness improved in leaps and bounds as the season progressed. Placing second in the 13B North Plate, every single team member showed integrity and excellence as they pushed themselves and each other to improve.

Year 9 Boys Red:

Girls Football

2nd XI Girls: Roberto Di Muro

From winning our first game 10-0, to crushing our final 5-1, Rangitoto’s 2nd XI Girls had a great season.

Our team proved unbeatable this year, winning eight from eight games, and scoring 67 goals while only conceding four. The most memorable experience this year was the final. We were lucky enough to be playing at home, and this provided us with the support we needed to pull through and win our league!

Written by Emmy Hurcum, Year 11

3rd XI Girls: Leo Mendes

Isaac Lovering, Dexter De-Winter & Greg Murphy

The boys had an extremely solid season and represented Rangitoto College excellently on and off the field. The commitment by each player to the team was great, not just shown by consistent game and training attendance but there was a lot of passion shown by all on the field. Some excellent goals and a lot of team and personal growth in what was a close, competitive season.

The 3rd XI Girls season this year was a privilege to be part of. The team showed great consistency and commitment in training, and it paid off in the end. We started off the season with two losses, however, we then turned it around and won every other game. A stand-out moment for me was an away game against Glenfield 1st XI; we were losing 1-0 with only eight minutes left in the game and the girls scored two goals! A great moment that showed their perseverance and commitment throughout the season.

Junior Premier Girls: George May & Mark Freeman

The Junior Premier Girls competed against the best that Auckland has to offer, playing in the Junior Girls A League. This season, the team has developed the strongest whanaungatanga we have seen whilst coaching the Junior Prems, all players working hard during training to improve for match day not as individuals, but as a team. The resistance band and pool noodle training sessions provided great moments. The results were reflective of this and every time the kaitākaro walked away with the win, they knew they deserved it. Finishing a very strong 4th in the Auckland League was a justifiable result and height that Rangitoto College had not reached in over five years.

Junior Girls Blue: Prisca Pieters

This season Prisca had the privilege of coaching the Juniors Girls Blue team. They had an amazing start to the season, ending Term 2 undefeated. Term 3 was a little more of a challenge as we had numbers dropping, however, the girls still worked hard and showed up to play every week. A highlight was seeing both the team as a whole and so many individuals keep improving as the season went on.

Junior Girls White: Ruby O’Sullivan

This season our Junior White team was coached by Year 12 student Ruby O’Sullivan. Their commitment and motivation to improve as individuals and as a team was awesome to see with good numbers turning up to trainings and games each week. They started the season struggling to score goals but by the end were creating great scoring opportunities. Overall, the girls really enjoyed learning new skills and had fun playing together which is what football is all about.

Indoor Volleyball

This year will undoubtedly stand out as a pinnacle of achievement in the history of volleyball at Rangitoto College. The school’s senior indoor teams orchestrated an extraordinary feat by clinching both titles at the highly competitive New Zealand Nationals in Palmerston North. The 53rd New Zealand Nationals hosted 160 teams. Our Premier Girls team beat Orewa 3-0 in the final to win Rangitoto its first female national title. The Premier Boys beat Waimea 3-1 to make it back to back national titles. This remarkable success was led by the capable captains, Kaia Buckley and Ryan Jefferson, who epitomised leadership, determination, and unwavering team spirit.

Ryan Jefferson, a standout athlete, not only captained the victorious senior indoor team but also earned accolades as the Most Valuable Player (MVP) alongside his counterpart from the women’s team, Kalea Norton. Their exceptional performances on the court not only galvanised their teams but also showcased their prowess on and off the court. These MVP awards were a testament to their hard work, resilience, and ability to rise above challenges.

In a historical first, Kalea Norton, a remarkable Year 12 student, achieved a dual distinction. Not only was she a key player in Rangitoto College’s winning formula, but she also secured a spot in the New Zealand Women’s team. This select team played against Chile, displaying Kalea’s exceptional skills on an international stage and bringing pride to her school and country.

Rangitoto College was fortunate to have a trio of illustrious alumni coaches at the helm. Nina Kerr, Sam Bell, and Johann Timmer brought a wealth of experience and passion to their roles, moulding the teams into cohesive units that dominated Harbour, Auckland, and New Zealand allcomers. Their dedication, mentorship, and strategic acumen were key factors in the teams’ triumphant journey.

The coaching staff was further fortified by the contributions of Adam Watson, Jessie Meiklejohn, and Kayla Polley, who played pivotal roles in honing the players’ skills and shaping their game strategies. Their commitment to the players’ development was evident in the teams’ stellar performances, showcasing the value of dedicated coaching.

Acknowledging the indispensable role of the support staff is paramount. Rangitoto College was fortunate to have long-serving managers Josh Bullen, Jamie Sowter, and Graham Lowe, who tirelessly managed logistical

aspects, ensuring that the teams were primed for success both on and off the court. Their behind-thescenes efforts were instrumental in the teams’ achievements.

Celebrating this success would be incomplete without acknowledging the support network that stood steadfastly behind the players. The parents of the athletes played a pivotal role in nurturing their passion for the sport, providing unwavering encouragement, and being pillars of strength throughout the journey.

Additionally, the support extended beyond immediate circles, as the school received ongoing backing from Principal Patrick Gale, as well as Trevor Meiklejohn, Lisa Wiki, and Nat Moe. Their contributions, whether through mentorship, resources, or counsel, fortified the school’s athletic programs, helping them achieve unprecedented heights.

The triumph of Rangitoto College’s senior indoor teams in 2023 is a resounding testament to the power of collective effort, teamwork, and dedication. This achievement not only added new chapters to the school’s history but also serves as an inspiration for aspiring junior athletes. For the leaving players they have certainly left an amazing legacy.

Kalea has had an amazing school and IPC season. She was named MVP at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Championships in March when Rangitoto won gold. She also won gold for Harbour in the under-19 division at the inter-provincial championships and was named to that tournament team. Just for good measure, she was the reserve for the Youth Commonwealth Beach Volleyball team.

Premier Coach Farewell

Nina Kerr, has left an indelible mark as the premier volleyball coach at Rangitoto College for half a decade. Her selection of Head Girl Kaia Buckley as captain for the last three years and her partnership with manager Jamie Sowter were keys to the success. As was the talent of Kiana Stevenson. With remarkable success, she guided her team to victory, clinching the Auckland Championships not once, but twice under her tutelage. Notably, her leadership led the first Rangitoto female team to medal at the esteemed New Zealand Nationals, a ground breaking achievement. Breaking even more barriers, her guidance propelled the Rangitoto team to unprecedented heights, securing their first-ever national championship win this year. Kerr’s dedication and strategic prowess have not only shaped athletes but have also etched a triumphant chapter in the school’s sports history.

Hockey

Aswe turn the pages of this calendar year and reflect on the incredible journey of the 2023 school hockey teams, we can’t help but be overwhelmed with gratitude for the guidance, support, and unwavering commitment that our coaches and managers have sacrificed.

This year was not just about winning or losing; it was about the invaluable lessons learned, the camaraderie formed, and the unforgettable memories created. The turf and the dugouts became a place of growth, resilience, and inspiration, all thanks to the dedication of our coaches and managers. Thank you to these incredible volunteers and our supporter whānau. An extra thank you to Rachel Jackson, our Teacher in Charge, for her support and leadership in this space.

Hockey Development

This programme was run during our Term 2 and 3 school holidays. It was a great initiative and a way of engaging and connecting with our wider community. The coaching services of former Black Stick Brett Leaver were offered to all players and to our surrounding primary and intermediate schools. It was well received with a huge turnout—a fantastic way to promote the sport and inspire young up-and-coming hockey athletes.

During these sessions, we had a clear goal of teaching fundamentals around passing, dribbling, creating space, tactical play in the circle, promoting teamwork and sportsmanship, refining their hockey skills, and upgrading their hockey software. There was a lot of great feedback with many families wanting more. Watch this space!

1st XI Boys

The 2023 season commenced on a high note for the 1st XI Boys, showcasing impressive performances in the Harbour competition. Their success led to their qualification for the Greater Auckland A1 competition. The team secured victories against Mt Roskill and Macleans during the competition, ultimately clinching a fifth-place finish.

The boys journeyed to Wellington for the Rankin Cup & Indian Shield tournament. Despite facing formidable opponents, the team accrued valuable experience in this premier-level competition. Their commendable effort culminated in a 30th-place finish. Notably, there were no departing Year 13 players this season, instilling optimism for their ongoing progress next year.

1st XI Girls

The 1st XI Girls Hockey team enjoyed an exceptional season, demonstrating not only their unwavering commitment and dedication to the sport but also their remarkable on-field talent.

Competing in the fiercely competitive Premier Auckland competition, our girls consistently delivered outstanding performances against formidable opponents. During the playoffs for the third and fourth positions, they faced Saint Kentigern, and after a full-time draw, our team clinched victory in a thrilling shootout, securing well-deserved bronze medals.

However, the team’s crowning achievement was winning the prestigious Chica Gilmer Trophy. This victory was a testament to their skills, teamwork, and determined spirit. They managed to net an astonishing 45 goals while conceding only four against their opponents. Notably, Hannah Groh emerged as the tournament’s top goal scorer, further solidifying their outstanding performance.

The team is farewelling several Year 13 students this year. We extend our warmest wishes to these departing players and express our deep gratitude for their invaluable contributions to hockey at Rangitoto.

Rangitoto College has again entered a small team of off-road cyclists into several mountain biking events this year. This includes the Auckland Secondary Schools Cross Country Mountain Biking Championships, along with national cross-country and downhill events. The Auckland regional series of races takes place across the wider Auckland Region with courses in some beautiful and scenic locations. The cross-country format races are well organised through College Sport, the Auckland Mountain Bike Club, and a handful of dedicated teachers and parents.

Courses are well planned and marked out to suit a variety of skill levels, experiences, and riding competence. The biggest challenge is often the result of the poor winter weather making the terrain slippery and harder to negotiate. Finishing these tough races deserves recognition, so well done to all our riders this year.

Rangitoto remains not only grateful to all riders for pedalling hard, having a go, and competing, but also to the many parents who get up early on Sunday mornings to transport students, and in many cases volunteer their time as marshals. Everyone involved really appreciates these efforts.

Special thanks to Alastair Fear for managing our group of mountain bikers this year by ensuring each rider was entered, prepared and ready to race at these events.

Hopefully, we can continue to build our team of mountain bikers, getting more students out onto the trails and gravel tracks. Mountain biking brings so many great benefits to fitness, health, and well-being. Pedal hard, keep safe, and enjoy the ride!

Orienteering Mountain Biking & Road Cycling

This year has been a very busy for orienteering at Rangitoto College. We have seen a huge increase in the number of students involved and participating in the different events on offer.

The first orienteering event to take place this year was the Auckland Schools North Harbour Zone Sprint Series. This series was run over five weeks at various schools in the North Harbour area. We had a total of 26 students participate in one or more of these events, ranging from beginner orienteers to those who had orienteered before. Students who placed in the top 10 (most points after the five events) were then invited to compete at the Sprint Series Finals Day held at Long Bay College and AUT North Campus. We had 6 students compete in these finals, with Alexander Robertson in Year 9 being our best performer on the day, placing 8th out of 42 competitors in the Year 9 Boys category.

We had seven students represent Rangitoto at the College Sport Rogaine Championships. This event involved students navigating rough, muddy farm terrain for 90 minutes with the aim of covering as many checkpoints as possible within the time limit. Alexander Robertson in Year 9 placed 2nd at this event in the Junior Boys Individual Grade. We also had four students compete at the College Sport Individual Championships. This was a challenging and competitive event for our students, but all did their best against the top orienteers in Auckland.

Year 12 student Kate Jobbins was our only student who represented Rangitoto College at the North Island and New Zealand Secondary School orienteering events. Kate competed extremely well in all three orienteering disciplines (short, long, and relay) and gained great experience from taking part in these events.

Rowing

Tamsin McAsey and Ellesha Stratful were the first rowing crew since 2017 to represent Rangitoto College. They competed in Maadi, the largest secondary school competition in New Zealand, making it into the B finals for the under-18 novice double. This meant they placed 14th in the country. Tamsin and Ellesha also competed in the under-17 pair at nationals, this was a very new boat for the girls yet they were extremely close to qualifying for a B final. Another awesome achievement from Tamsin and Ellesha was winning a bronze medal at the Head of Harbour Regatta in the novice double. They also won the best novice crew award at the North Shore Rowing Clubs prizegiving.

Run Club

Rangitoto College Run Club (RC/RC) continues to grow from strength to strength. With an open-door policy for anyone and everyone, numerous students of all ages and abilities have participated on a weekly basis. Running at their own pace and level for the pure enjoyment of getting out there and having a go. Run for fun is the theme we are strongly trying to promote.

Group runs have taken place once a week after school each term with a different focus and plan each time. Poor weather has seen the group hitting the treadmills and other equipment in the Fitness Centre at times, but there have also been excursions to the local Millennium Track. Term 4 has seen students preparing for the athletic season and local community run/walk events like parkrun.co.nz.

Here are a couple of student comments:

“I am a part of the Rangitoto Run Club because I enjoy being able to socialise with fellow runners. The Run Club is a great opportunity to give and receive advice from friends to better your running experience. The club is accepting of all levels of running and is set up in a way that works for everyone. I love that Run Club can be recreational, but equally competitive.” – Cristian Nita, Year 13

“Through Run Club, I feel motivated to go for runs with friends and do longer distance running than ever before. Run Club has many people of different capabilities, that encourage others to continue running and to give advice. Because of Run Club I have seen my fitness levels increase majorly.” – Jacob Rawbone, Year 11

Run Club is excited to keep building its participation numbers and welcomes students of all abilities to enjoy group running. Come along, we look forward to seeing you.

Netball

Netball 2023 has been a massive year at Rangitoto College. Its so great to see more and more of our young women getting into netball. We had more teams and umpires than we’ve had in a number of seasons which can be quite the feat to manage. It is thanks to our volunteers that we were able to get through the year smoothly.

We were lucky to have Ashley and Caitlin Edwards onboard to coordinate our umpires. This job was not just about allocating umpires to games but coaching and supporting our umpires through their qualifications. It is thanks to these hard-working alumni that our umpire programme is looking so strong for the future.

I am looking forward to an even bigger and better year in 2024!

Chelsea

Collard, Teacher in Charge of Netball

This journey has been a rollercoaster of experiences, commencing as year 9s braving the rain and cold on Monday nights, enduring the challenges of Covid-19 by practising and throwing balls against our house walls while yearning to return to the court, and ultimately getting the call up to the premier team and the chance to represent the school at the highest level. Being a part of the squad that has clinched victory in two out of three consecutive Harbour finals has been a rather life-changing experience. The dedication, perseverance, and best of all humour of the girls have been truly inspiring, motivating us to turn up week in and week out and reminding us of our love and passion for the sport. Each phase of this journey has been uniquely special, thanks to the incredible individuals who surround us—from fellow teammates (both past and present), coaches, managers, family members, and umpires, to the dedicated staff—all of whom consistently motivate us to give our best. Now as Year 13s our time in the Rangitoto netball community has come to an end. We will take with us all the memories made throughout our years representing the college. So, with our final goodbye, we would like to wish the best to our future netball players and encourage them to embrace the challenges and make the most of their time representing Rangitoto College.

Jessica Honey and Sienna Rugg, Premier 1 and UNISS teams

This season was BIG! We trialled just over 300 students which made up 11 Year 9 teams and 19 Open College teams. We had a record number of Year 9s and Year 10s in our SPA Netball team, had over 60 umpires, and also took two Open College teams to play out at Netball Waitakere as part of our development programme.

It has been a huge year of growth for our Rangitoto Netball whānau and it has been pleasing to see the many opportunities that have been embraced.

We had two teams in the Netball North Harbour Premier Grade again this season, one team in Open College A, and one team in Open College B. It has been wonderful to start seeing the results of all the hard work that we have done over the past few years with better alignment of the various aspects within our Netball programme.

Thank you to all our coaches, managers, umpires, scorers, players, and their whānau for contributing so positively to this season.

Thank you to the Rangitoto College staff who continue to support our students through the encouragement of keeping active and to the many of you who we have seen courtside supporting our teams.

We are looking forward to offering new opportunities in 2024 and are excited to see our players to continue grow in the game.

Nataleigh Moe, Team Coordinator – Sport (Netball)

UNISS

Upper North Island Secondary School Championships (UNISS) for 2023 was held down in Hamilton. We took a team of 12 to compete in the A Grade for the second consecutive year. Throughout the week we competed closely with teams from across the North Island. Playing two full games each day, with 10 games in total our girls showed resilience as well as mental and physical strength. Our girls finished 18th in A Grade, meaning we retain our spot for 2024. A special mention to Julia Browne and Kyel Anderson who showed everyone the true meaning of getting out there and giving it everything with both girls rarely spending time on the side-line. A huge congratulations to Kyel Anderson who also got named in the A Grade tournament team. This is a phenomenal achievement for Kyel. It has been a long time since we had a player recognised in this squad. A special thank you to our Year 13s Sienna Rugg, Jessica Honey, Mikaela Leger, and Charlotte Harris. Thank you for your contribution to Rangitoto Netball.

Jamie Sowter, Premier 2 Coach and Premier 1 Assistant Coach

Umpires

Our netball games cannot be played without umpires officiating on the sidelines in all weather, rain, or shine. It is daunting as a student deciding to give it a go—picking up a whistle and officiating a game played by your peers with a sideline full of coaches and parents. This year we had a record number of 31 new students begin learning to umpire. This season these new umpires trained on the court with a senior umpire buddy coaching them at every game until they felt confident.

Congratulations to all our umpires who gained new qualifications this year. Through hard work, our umpires passed a total of 72 umpire qualifications this season, with four of our students passing their Netball NZ Zone Theory Level in 2023. Thank you to our volunteer umpire coaches from Rangitoto College and NNH for giving up their valuable time to assist us with training our growing umpire squad. Student umpire Emma Edwards officiated at the U16s netball tournament in New Plymouth this year and was joined by Emma Brandt to both officiate at the netball UNISS tournament in Hamilton in August, travelling with our Rangitoto umpire co-ordinators Caitlin and Ashley Edwards and alumna Julia Lim. This is an amazing opportunity to receive coaching from high-level umpires from around the North Island during the tournaments. Come and join us in 2024 and give netball umpiring a go!

Caitlin and Ashley Edwards, Netball Umpire Co-Ordinators

Rugby

1st XV

The 1st XV had a successful season this year with all players growing in their skills, leadership, and teamwork. The team quickly came together after a tough preseason with the coaches and players’ leadership group driving real emphasis on brotherhood. The team quickly became a tightknit group. Although the team had some tough results against some of the stronger sides in the 1A competition, the boys have steadily improved across all games and represented both their college and themselves excellently well. Coaches Craig Hewetson and Boyd Gillespie were not only instrumental in setting a positive culture within the team, but they also made it clear to the boys that it was the performance that they were after, not just the result, and testament to this the team have grown each practice and each game. This has been excellent to see and victories against Manurewa and Orewa this year are real highlights of the season. Congratulations must also go to Lucas Pritchard, Eduan Kleynhans, and Taine Hewetson who were named in the Harbour U18 Squad.

From this side, we expect to see many of the boys return to play 1st XV rugby in the future. With many of the Year 11s in the side already capped, their experience in growing a strong 1st XV for the college in the future

Premier Girls

Rangitoto’s Premier Girls Rugby team has had an excellent 2023 season. Playing in the North Harbour Youth Rugby competition, the girls won almost all round-robin games against various schools, with one 5-12 loss against formidable competitors Westlake Girls High School. Late June saw the competition final against Westlake Girls, held on a cloudy day in front of supporters from both sides. The tight game saw Rangitoto coming away with a 19-5 win. This success allowed the team to go on to challenge Northland winners, Bay of Islands College. The players enjoyed the experience of travelling up to Kawakawa and going head-to-head against such a talented team. Bay of Islands College took the win with a 12-48 final score.

Tino pai to the dedicated players and ngā mihi to all involved in this fantastic season!

will be invaluable. From what the coaches have seen so far this season, we feel the future of Rangitoto College rugby is bright.

2nd XV

A core group of strong boys became the heart of the team this year and although the results did not go their way, they represented the school with pride and passion all year. Thank you to all the coaches and players who helped to support our 2nd XV this year.

U15 Girls

It was the first year of playing tackle rugby for almost all our U15 girls this year. We started by working on the safety skills of the game, which paid off well as the girls worked out they could play this sport and handle the contact. There was plenty of fun and laughter along the way and the enthusiasm to learn was great.

As the season and round two progressed, our girls were demonstrating improved skills and abilities greater than our opponents. At the end of the season, we were particularly proud of the team’s ability to control the ball over multiple phases.

Well done on your first season girls and we look forward to seeing some great rugby from you in the future!

Youth 14 Red

We started the season with an epic Rangitoto versus Rangitoto 5-all draw. Nothing left in the tank on either side. A last-gasp win next up was then followed by a few hard lessons and a couple that we let slip. School bragging rights went to us on the return match against Rangitoto Blue and we ended with a 3-win, 9-loss, and 1-draw season.

We made the semi-final and playing our best rugby, came away with an awesome win over one of the many Westlake teams. Looking forward to the 2024 season already!

Youth 15

The Youth 15 team enjoyed a rollercoaster year with many ups and downs. After a rough start to the year, where the results didn’t represent the effort and brand of rugby the boys played losing games by small margins. The tide started to turn, and the team enjoyed some success towards the end of the year—they ended up winning the final! Congratulations to all the players, coaches, managers, and parents who were supporting this team.

Youth 14 Blue

This year the Under 14 Blue team started with 17 keen players who quickly developed into a team that showed character and resolve. One of the many learnings was that the boys had to play in positions that they were unfamiliar with— they did this with enthusiasm and a desire to do the best for their team. A culture quickly developed where the boys were prepared to work for each other. A lot of fun was had at training and some effective friendships were formed. We are looking forward to next season.

Youth 16

Wow, what another incredible year! Youth 16 champions!

The Youth 16 Rugby team was made up of players from Year 9 to 12 with varying rugby experience. These boys came together strongly and enthusiastically. Dedicated parent coaches Brent Bibbie and Wade Kirkland built on the success of the 2022 season, creating a great team culture and ensuring the boys played with skill and determination. They always played as a team and were willing to soak up new learnings—it was all about improvement week on week. They had an outstanding season, going through both the pre-season and the regular season undefeated!

They then stepped up another gear for the semi-finals and finals, having convincing wins against Orewa and Kaipara to take out the championship.

The future of Rangitoto Rugby is bright with these boys coming through.

Sailing

Rangitoto College continued with superb form this year and our sailors jumped at the chance to compete at racing regattas with great success.

North of the Bridge Team Racing Regatta

This regatta is for all colleges north of the Harbour Bridge and was held at Parua Bay, Whangārei. The Rangitoto College Sailing Team has won this regatta every time they have competed in it over the past five years—so no pressure on a new youthful co-ed team! After a close battle in light winds, Rangitoto College came away with another win! The team was Arran Begic, Ben Hall, Sergio He, Josh Ferrissey, Naiomi Ferrissey, Joe Leith, Louie Poletti, and Chloe Turner. This regatta is a seeding regatta for nationals and ensured Rangitoto College started in Gold Fleet.

National Team Racing Regatta

Nationals were held in the first week of the April school holidays at Algies Bay. Starting in Gold Fleet with 34 colleges from around New Zealand competing, Rangitoto College as always was competing against the top all-boys schools for the title. Our team of Arran Begic, Tehya Harris, Alex Hebberd, Josh Ferrissey, Naiomi Ferrissey, Joe Leith, Louie Poletti, and Chloe Turner had some epic battles against the other top schools, Christ’s College, Auckland Grammar, and Westlake Boys.

In very windy conditions, our co-ed team proved to be the fastest team on the water led well by Joe Leith (Year 11) and Josh Ferrissey (Year 11) out front in a class of boat they sail full-time with young helm Arran Begic (Year 9) showing great skills in the double hander and ILCA sailor Louie Poletti (Year 12) also.

After some 150 races over the week, it came down to a final race to crown the national champions with Rangitoto College and Westlake Boys well out in front overall. Our team got three debatable penalties to nil in the final and still managed to come back and cross ahead of Westlake only for another penalty on the line against Rangitoto. The two teams were then tied on equal wins in total, with the countback going in Westlake’s favour on that last race. It was gutting for our team, but a truly great team effort (especially given our co-ed status and the younger age of our team) and we were awarded the silver medal this time around.

Open Fleet National Titles

Rangitoto College sailors won a number of national titles and podiums:

• Joe Leith and Josh Ferrissey National Champions 420 Open Class

• Naiomi Ferrissey National Champion ILCA 6 Female Youth Class

• Louie Poletti Runner Up ILCA 6 Male Youth Class

• Chloe Turner Runner Up 29er Open Female Class

World Championships

Four Rangitoto College sailors were selected and competed in their class world championship at events:

Joe Leith and Josh Ferrissey—38th Gold Fleet 420 Open Worlds (Alicante, Spain). The boys actually led the worlds after 4/12 races but came unstuck in very light races later in the regatta and some early starting penalties.

Naiomi Ferrissey—31st Gold Fleet ILCA 6 Female Youth Worlds (Dziwnow, Poland). This is a superb result especially given it was the first ILCA international regatta for Naiomi.

Chloe Turner—29th Female Team 29er Open Worlds (Weymouth, England). Another superb result for a young 14-year-old sailor in a very experienced fleet.

Joe Leith and Josh Ferrissey—31st Gold Fleet Junior Europeans (Gydnia, Poland).

We would like to thank Brownz Tagaloa, Trevor Meiklejohn, Peter Harwood, Don Hastie, Patrick Gale, and Rangitoto College for their enthusiasm and support of the team.

In March, our boys and girls teams competed in the One Day Senior Softball Tournament, held at Prince Edward Park, Papakura. The length of the games was quite short, only three innings or 40 minutes, whichever came first.

The girls were up against some tough teams losing three games and a draw. They played well getting some runs in most games. Not a bad finish on the table, 4th overall in their pool and not a bad result against the overall tournament winners, One Tree Hill College.

• One Tree Hill loss 7-4

• Alfriston draw 3-3

• Rosehill loss 10-0

• Birkenhead loss 5-2

Squash Softball

Our squash players, male and female teams, can be justifiably proud of the way in which they succeed against all odds. They need to practice and train independently as squash courts are not easily accessible. A home match is unfortunately usually far away, and often against more experienced players. The Junior Boys team had a successful season in their league and they can feel confident about progressing into and competing in the senior leagues next season. The Senior Boys team battled hard too in their fixtures with some successes. Thank you to the parent helpers who facilitated these boys’ involvement in many and various ways.

The boys had a good day, better than previous years, finishing 3rd overall in their pool winning two games out of the four and almost beating the overall tournament winners, Alfriston College.

• Western Springs win 7-1

• Mt Albert loss 6-2

• Alfriston loss 5-3

• Pakuranga win 6-5

Thank you to all the students who took part, along with the support of the parents who helped and supported on the day. We look forward to taking part in the tournament again in 2024.

The Senior Girls team, however, were once again full of sunshine, laughter, singing, dancing, and also resounding victories. In the top female Auckland league, the team pushed each opposition aside before falling at the last hurdle in the league final. The final itself was an exhilarating affair accompanied by a vociferous supporting crowd, cheering at each and every point, with the viewers vying to establish vantage points to witness the epic battle on the court below.

Unfortunately, the Rangitoto team could not force an upset but the team were very happy with their runner-up position.

Congratulations and thanks to the four players who starred from Year 13 of Georgia Astridge-Emery, Jenny McMillan, Lisa Zhou, and led by Charlotte Harris. Charlotte Harris wins the 2023 Most Valuable Player award. She has amazingly not missed a match for four years and she has won nearly every one of her matches during that time.

The Rangitoto squash teams for 2024 will need lots of new members to join us, both male and female, both experienced and beginners, and from any year level. All are welcome! Just let our Sports Department know that you are available!

Neil Harris, Teacher in Charge of Squash

Surfing

This year an enthusiastic group of surfers represented Rangitoto College at the Auckland Scholastics Surfing Championships. The first round was held at South Piha in challenging overhead surf. The under-14 boys and under-18 boys showed great sportsmanship and encouraged each other to compete in powerful surf. Sebastian Arciszewski and Koby Stanaway were stand-out performers in the under-14 boys division at Piha and got through to the semifinals.

The second round was held at Omaha beach in a much more manageable and clean 2-3 foot surf. Both Sebastian Arciszewski and Koby Stanaway got through to the semifinals in the under-14 boys division. In the under-18 boys division, Sam Westerkamp got into the finals and finished 4th.

Later in the year, the New Zealand Schools Surfing Champs was held at Manu Bay in 3-5 foot surf. Sam Westerkamp, Joel Thorburn, Toby Coombe, and Quinn Jude competed in the under-18 boys division. They all caught great waves during their heats and connected high-performance manoeuvres to generate competitive scores.

Next year the competitors representing Rangitoto College will have another year of experience and it will be exciting to see how they go in these events. Moreover, they will continue to develop great friendships and shared experiences through the joys of surfing.

Table Tennis

Rangitoto College’s commitment to excellence in competitive table tennis team was a huge success in the recent North Harbour competition, where six dedicated teams battled it out on Friday evenings for the win. Among these outstanding teams was our A Grade team which stood out, capturing the gold medals for Terms 2 and 3 competitions. The winning quartet of Edmond Jia, Joshua Lu, Jerry Hi, and Ben Xiong demonstrated their exceptional skills, teamwork, and determination, making our school proud.

A few of our teams qualified for the Auckland Teams Championships. Here, our B Grade team took out silver. Their achievement exemplified the depth of growth we now have in our programme and the talent and commitment within Rangitoto College’s table tennis community. This success would not have been possible without the ongoing support and coaching of Albert Cheng.

Running alongside our competitive play, our school also fosters a strong sense of community and sportsmanship. Over 60 students were engaged in our social league, coming together on Wednesday afternoons in Gym 1 to enjoy the spirit of the game, build friendships, and have fun.

We look forward to embracing further growth and student involvement in 2024.

Swimming

Another stellar year for Rangitoto swimmers.

The year started strong with the first of the Auckland College Sport events, the Northern Zone being hosted at the National Aquatic Centre in March with the athletes producing solid results, this was then followed up with Champion of Champions also in March and finishing off with the Individual Championships in June. Once again, a really solid performance from the students along with many podium finishes in all of the College Sport race series events.

Term 1 was action-packed with many of the students racing at New Zealand Championships and New Zealand Age Groups. Rangitoto had some outstanding swims by the students at these national meets with some of them taking out national titles, including the naming of Summer Osborne as the new Aquablack #286 which resulted in her selection into the New Zealand team travelling to the World Aquatic Championships in Fukuoka in July. Summer also booked herself a spot as the captain of the national team travelling to Israel in September to the World Junior Aquatic Championships. What an incredible achievement as she finishes her final year at Rangitoto College.

New Zealand Secondary Schools did not disappoint despite the team being smaller in numbers than in previous years. Once again, the team secured another co-ed title for Rangitoto College for 2023. Fourth year in a row—an outstanding achievement.

New Zealand Short Course was next off the starting blocks which was hosted in the Hawkes Bay. This meet was held over a five-day period with a great show from the Rangitoto crew representing their clubs and securing further national titles.

A fantastic year overall for all our students with some amazing results.

Special thanks to Tonya Osborne, our most amazing team manager, who has contributed to the success of our swimming programme by devoting her time to be poolside with our swimming students at the various meets over her daughter’s time at the College. Tonya’s wealth of swimming knowledge and passion for the sport and seeing our students achieve has been invaluable.

Tag

Atagday out is always a good day out! The sun was shining, and players were keen to get out there as it really was our first experience at a tournament day after a long while.

Passion, dedication, and support for each other and the sport were evident throughout the tournament.

Our boys always showcase their skill and speed, and our girls’ consistency and smarts lead them to winning the Senior Girls A grade.

Our senior girls in Term 1, went through to finish 3rd at the Auckland championship! Such a great achievement for our first time attending.

We are planning on building on our tag achievements as a talented cohort of juniors come through the ranks.

Special thanks to Wade Kirkland who has been leading our tag space for the past few years and Mark Simpkins who has come on board also. Thank you to Brownz Tagaloa whose focus on building a supportive tag community and developing our players is steering us in the right direction.

We are looking forward to seeing where tag takes our athletes in the future.

Tennis

Senior Girls

Competing in a Senior A competition is always going to be a tough when the team comprises of mostly junior students with little experience of playing at a competitive level. This was the situation our girls’ tennis team faced this year however, to their credit, they embraced the challenge and travelled across wider Auckland to compete against experienced players, finishing 7th out of eight school teams.

Despite not recording a win, the girls always demonstrated grit and determination, and at times the results did not truly reveal the closeness of match scores. The players displayed courage, one of the school’s core values, each week when they took the court, and gained great experience from playing in this challenging competition. All team members must be applauded for their cheerful outlook and willingness to improve their playing skills.

Senior Boys

Our Senior Boys team had a more successful season by making the final and coming runners up in the College Sport Auckland Premier competition, the first time in a number of years.

The team played at a consistently high level throughout the fiercely competitive league format of weekly matches. Rangitoto had impressive wins over Macleans College, Botany Downs, and Auckland Grammar and lost a hard-fought battle against Westlake Boys in the final.

Year 12 Chan Min also performed exceptionally well in the Auckland Champs of Champs tournament winning the Senior Boys singles title over Kings College 6-1, 4-6, 10-7. Year 13 students Nicolas Ouwehand and Nathan Agethen combined well to reach the semi-finals of the Senior Boys doubles, losing to eventual winners Westlake Boys.

Chan, Santiago Gonzalez, and Michael Yang will anchor a strong team to compete in the 2024 school competitions.

A big thank you goes to Joanne Ouwehand and Kate Fenton for managing the teams. The time and effort you spent organising, transporting, and supporting our tennis athletes is greatly appreciated.

Weightlifting

Rangitoto weightlifting has had a positive year while we are in the rebuilding phase with new lifters entering the sport.

We have competed in the Auckland Secondary School competition as well as the Secondary School Nationals which were held in Auckland.

All seven lifters received Gold or Silver medals for their efforts which was fantastic as it was their first Nationals in their new sport.

This is our 9th year representing the school at Secondary School Nationals and we continue to have outstanding results at each competition.

I look forward to next year's competition.

Coach Nicole Kumerich

Grace Qi, Year 12 Painting

Water Polo

Waterpolo has again continued to be very successful in 2023. The students involved are extremely dedicated and committed to becoming better water polo players which has shown in the results achieved by our teams as well as individual achievements. All teams have amazing support from our coaches, managers and parents which also contributes hugely to the success of the programme.

Premier Girls

The Rangitoto Premier Girls Water Polo team enjoyed a hugely successful 2023 season! Under the phenomenal coaching of Chelsea Geary and Ava Cooper, the team went from strength to strength as the season progressed. Term 4 in 2022 involved trials and weekly trainings, including beach swims at Mairangi Bay during the summer holidays. A preseason tournament over Anniversary Weekend was a great lead-up to Term 1, and in February training ramped up to three sessions weekly, plus one gym session and three individual swim sessions. College Sport games during Term 1 were on Friday and Sunday nights, and we finished fourth with a close loss to Baradene in the finals. We were edged out of the top four by Aquinas at the North Island Secondary Schools to finish fifth with a win over Westlake, later turning the tables by beating Aquinas by one goal at Nationals! We peaked in Christchurch, winning bronze in our final against Baradene, and almost beating the winning team (St Cuthbert) going to penalties in the semi-finals. What a great way to say goodbye to our Year 13s Hayley Boyce and Keira Conboy. A huge thank you to coaches Chelsea and Ava, our amazing manager Angela O’Brien and to Miss Mouat and Mr. Meiklejohn for all your support this year.

Senior B Girls

The Rangi Senior B Water Polo Girls played another great season this year. Despite being a relatively young squad, they achieved 2nd place in their Auckland league. This year the team also participated in the Division 2 National Champs, finishing in 13th place. They all gave it their absolute best and achieved great improvements on both an individual level and as a team. A special mention goes out to our Year 13 player Kayla Gilfillan in her final season of school water polo. Huge thank you to Rachael Roset for coaching the girls again this year and helping them improve each game. Also, to Catherine Armes for managing and supporting the team every week.

Premier Boys

This year was a big step up for several the players in the Premier Boys Water Polo team, with nine players joining the team after the departure of much of the team last year. The boys had a great start to the season, and performed well in the College Sport Auckland League, narrowly missing out on the bronze medal in a tight final match against Auckland Grammar, to place fourth. A solid performance at the North Island Secondary Schools competition in March saw the boys place 6th, in another tight final game against Auckland Grammar. Third time proved to be the charm when the boys came up against Auckland Grammar again at New Zealand Secondary Schools in Christchurch, finally beating them in the semi-finals. Falling just short of a Top 4 finish, the boys placed 5th—the best boys result of any North Shore school. Coach Jake Lockwood, Manager Felicity Roberts and Team Captain Michael Rodgers did a great job leading this young team to a great start for their first season together.

Senior B Boys

This year’s Senior B Boys Water Polo team was a young team and for most it was their first experience of playing senior water polo. The team were in good hands with coaches Samantha Bentley and Darcy Spark (both Rangitoto alumni) whose skills, knowledge and experience helped the team to improve each game. The team competed in the Senior B grade of the College Sport Auckland League and placed 4th in their division. The highlight of the season was taking part in the New Zealand Secondary School Division 2 Nationals and placed a well-deserved 15th out of 20 teams. Nationals was a tough but great experience for all the players as they were challenged by opponents who were older and bigger. This did not deter the team who played with determination and had a never give up attitude. The team had a mixed bag of results at Nationals with two wins and three losses. A big thank you to Lisa Scott for managing the team this year and to Samantha and Darcy for the time and effort they put into coaching the boys to become better water polo players. Bring on the 2024 season.

Junior Water Polo

This year we had four junior water polo teams. Junior A Boys coached by Michael Rodgers, Junior B Boys coached by Thomas Armes, Junior Girls coached by Robbie Tindall and Junior Mixed coached by Darcy Spark and Samantha Bentley for Term 2, and Mackenzie Rogers and Stevi Cooper for Term 3 and 4. All teams played in the North Harbour competition, with our top teams also competing in the College Sport Auckland League and the North Island Secondary School tournament. All teams saw great improvement throughout the season and came away with some great results.

Arts Awards

The2023 Arts Awards evening was a vibrant and joyful celebration amidst a swampy-fairy-tale décor—in honour of this year’s school production of Shrek The Musical—with over 150 students recognised for their service, contribution, and achievement in the co-curricular arts at Rangitoto College. We sincerely thank these students for the character, energy, and spirit they bring to our school community, and to the generous and talented staff who facilitate and support the many facets of our co-curricular programmes.

Christine Parkinson (Head of the English Department) for judging the Creative Writing competition.

Katie Poynter (Head of the Art Department) for judging the Painting competition.
