KARAMU HIGH SCHOOL
KARAMU THE NAME AND SCHOOL CREST:
The name Karamu has long been associated with the Hastings area. It is the name of the local stream and was the name of JP Ormond’s estate on the other side of the city. However, Karamu High School derives its name from the Karamu tree Coprosma lucida. The tree had great significance in early Maori belief. It symbolised life and all the goodness in the Earth and mankind. It had the power to cleanse both spiritually and mentally. THE SCHOOL MOTTO: Knowledge is Strength emphasises the role of knowledge in strong successful life and is the basis of citizenship. THE SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT: Karamu High School will provide co-educational learning opportunities that will inspire students to achieve a wide range of success and develop high standards and self-esteem to enable them to become successful members of society. Students will achieve this through a well-balanced education focusing on individual needs in a friendly, safe and attractive environment. SCHOOL VISION STATEMENT: Proudly Karamu: Proud of who we are and what we stand for Proudly Hastings: Actively supporting the community we are in Proudly Learning: Aiming to achieve to our full potential

are our exceptional administrative and teacher aide support
staff who work tirelessly to provide assistance to the teachers, students, parents and community. Their work is often done without fuss or fanfare but is critical in making everything run
smoothly. Also, behind the scenes, are our ground staff of Mr Poulgrain and Mr McLaren, who continue their work in caring and maintaining our beautiful grounds and facilities that we are so proud of.
We are grateful for the support our school receives from
parents, caregivers, whanau and the community. The role
parents, whanau and families play in the education of their children is critical to the success of our young people. Whether
as a coach, manager, administrator, standing on the sidelines or as an audience at the production or performance, your support
Karamu High School has enjoyed another exceptional year of achievement and this has all been captured once again in our yearbook of 2018. Schools do not operate in isolation and draw on the hard work and goodwill of a number of very special people. I would like to pay tribute and acknowledge the many people who help govern, lead, manage, organise and assist in enabling Karamu High School to be a successful place to learn and work. Our Board of Trustees once again under the guidance of Mr Dave de Lange, continue to give countless hours dedicated to our school in their governance role. It is a multi-million dollar business with over 900 students and nearly 90 staff, and they too take great pride in ensuring that the school is moving in the right direction and adequately resourced. Thank you to all of our board members for the ongoing support and vision you share for our school and our community. I would like to make special mention of co-opted board member, Dr Les Buckley who will finish his term in February. Mr Buckley has regularly travelled for meetings from his home base in Singapore over the past four years to share his considerable knowledge and business acumen both at the board table and in the Business Studies classrooms. He is a proud former student of Karamu and has been a generous supporter of the school for many years and for that we are truly grateful. There are many stories at the moment regarding staffing quality and shortages around the country in the education sector, but I can reassure you we are very fortunate to be able to attract and retain a high quality and professional group of individuals. Our staff give a lot of themselves and are the engine room of this fantastic school. Alongside our teachers
really makes a difference, and our students do appreciate it.
I would like to acknowledge the engagement and participation
of the student body, in particular our Year 13 students led by Cameron Young, Amy Saunders, Jaime Mossman and Nick Palmer. Our Year 13 group was one of our smallest in many
years, but while they lacked in quantity they didn’t for quality. All of our leaders fulfilled their roles and ensured that they
continued to build on the positive culture that they have been a part of for the past five years.
Our education system is continually undergoing change and
our school reflects the aspirations and expectations from the Ministry of Education, parents and community, employers and
tertiary providers. Over the next decade we will experience a climate of economic and political change in a further shrinking world with a host of new learning technologies. We also need
to be mindful of the increasing pressures that our staff and students face, particularly regarding workload and well-being.
It is pleasing to see that the new government has made a
commitment to reviewing NCEA and have already stated
that they wish to reduce the significance of assessment and focus more on the quality of teaching and learning. We
pride ourselves on providing a broad education with a host of opportunities for students to enjoy and excel in. We want our
students to leave after four or five years of secondary school
education with the skills, qualifications, abilities and attitudes to make a successful contribution to our community.
We are Proudly Karamu, Proudly Hastings and Proudly
Learning and it is a great honour for me to be able to lead this great school. We now look forward to 2019 with great anticipation but for now, I wish you all a very safe and happy holiday season.
PRINCIPAL’S REPORT 6
The 1st of February saw the 2018 school year officially start with a pōwhiri for new students and staff. I know staff were there many, many days before then to make sure the year was “planned out” to ensure a smooth transition for the new
students and that all students were challenged to reach their
events.
Your time and efforts are a positive reflection on
our values, Proudly Karamu, Proudly Hastings, Proudly Learning. Thank you. I would also like to acknowledge the work and commitment
full potential. The commitment and professionalism of the
of my fellow Board Trustees for the time and effort they put
entire staff plays such a vital role in the school culture and is
into governance at Karamu. We have had many Head of
certainly appreciated by myself and the Board of Trustees.
Faculties present to the Trustees around student progress,
The Student Leaders were also named on the first day and
achievement and direction their faculty is taking. This is really
school, modelling what it means to be a Karamu student, and
also provides some insight for our future strategic planning.
this group, like the teachers, have such an important role in the
useful in monitoring our progress towards the school goals but
providing a voice and link between students and staff. In 2018
This year we have also co-opted two new members onto
we were again lucky to have an outstanding group of student leaders across all areas who lead our values at Karamu.
Our roll remains healthy and I think this is a reflection of a school that provides a safe environment, choice around
cultural, sporting and academic options, underpinned by strong
academic achievement in NCEA, University Entrance and scholarship.
At Karamu, we work hard to involve whanau in what
students do, in particular planning around course options, career aspirations and reflecting on achievement.
the board, Mr Brad MacDonald and Mr Nick Richards. This ensures diversity of thought across the board so that decisions made for the school, staff and students are discussed and well considered. Finally to staff, students, parents and caregivers, I hope 2018 has been a rewarding year. I thank you for all the ways you have contributed to Karamu throughout the year and all the best for 2019.
Open
communication in these areas certainly helps set the students
up for success and I encourage all parents and caregivers to get involved in opportunities to meet and discuss options with the teachers and students.
The school year is an extremely busy year with the focus on student learning.
Assessments and benchmarking
examinations feature throughout the year culminating for
many in ‘end of year’ examinations. The sporting and cultural aspects of school life also contribute significantly to learning
and social skills. To get the most out of the school year, it is really important that student attendance is at a high level, every day really does count.
This magazine again demonstrates the great success students
have had throughout the year at Karamu, in a variety of academic, cultural and sporting events, locally, nationally and even internationally.
Each year showcases students who
have built on their achievements of the previous year or those who are beginning their journey. Watching student success is certainly a highlight from my perspective as a Board member.
Again, I thank the staff, parents and various helpers who
ensure all the extra activities can take place at Karamu for the students. Without your support a lot of students would not be able to pursue sport, cultural and, in some cases academic,

Stacey Cornelius
Miss Cornelius joined us at the start of Term 3 in the Social Sciences Faculty.

Myka Nuku
Matua Myka joined Karamu High School following the departure of Matua Leon and Whaea Pene. Matua Myka has brought his extensive knowledge of Te Reo to our kura and his experience with a wide range of students has enable them to accelerate their knowledge and understanding of Te Reo and the Performing Arts. Matua Nuku is also a New Zealand representative in Waka Ama and having a positive role model for our students is valued. Myka Nuku left us in 2018 after his year with us.
Mark Rolls
Mr Rolls has joined us as our full-time guidance counsellor this year. He has a wealth of experience in the health area and has strong connections to the local support agencies to ensure our students are getting the support needed. He is a local with a young family. The move to the school will be of great benefit to our students who have a wide range of needs.

Pauline Woodmass
Mrs Pauline Woodmass has come back to Karamu to cover Food and Fashion Design for the year while Mrs Burn is on maternity leave. Mrs Woodmass brings her energy back to an area where she has taught in the past. Having spent the last few years in the primary sector as well as in the private sector I am sure this will be a great opportunity for our students to have someone with a wealth of knowledge to teach them.
10
Jamie Haronga
Mr Haronga has joined us as a teacher aide mainly working with 9MJA and Mr Jamieson. He brings his youth and energy to the school. A keen basketball player he has also started to help our students with their games during the lunch break and supporting our players on game night. Mr Haronga has already built up strong relationships with students at the school and helps those who are struggling with their work in a calm and caring manner.
Jacqueline Chamberlain
Mrs Chamberlain joined Karamu High School as a teacher aide this year. Mrs Chamberlain has a long history with the school with both her sons coming through the school and headed off to Auckland University at the start of 2018. She is married to Mr Chamberlain who is part of our Science Faculty. The students welcomed Mrs Chamberlain into their classes and built valuable and productive relationships assisting the students who need the extra help with their education. Mrs Chamberlian left the school at the end of 2018 and we wish her well in her future endeavours. Mrs Chamberlian left the school at the end of 2018 and we wish her well in her future endeavours.
Beth Eastham
Miss Eastham is a returning student who joined us at the start of Term 3 as an administrative assistant. Miss Eastham’s familiarity with the culture of the school has put her in a good position to ease back into the school to support the students and staff in the day to day running of the school. Miss Eastham left at the end of 2018.
FAREWELLS Matua Leon and Whaea Pene
Matua Leon and Whaea Pene have contributed a great amount to the school and it was with great sadness for us that they decided to continue their journey in teaching at the Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Te Wananga Whare Tapere o Takitimu. They have worked as a team and have made great changes in many of our students lives. They have been responsible for producing ki o rahi teams that hold their own on the national stage, kapa haka performances that have graced many stages around the Hawke’s Bay. They have enabled our students to travel the world on the Japan trips, but most of all they have made a great impact on many students lives and have made those students education a time to remember.
Maurice Belz
Mr Belz started at Karamu High School in 2012. The nationally recognised pétanque player was a key member of the social sciences faculty specialising in business studies. Mr Belz introduced market days and the dragons den approach to business studies and he could often be seen running around getting the student stalls up and running. He has now fled New Zealand across the ditch to Australia with his wife and is now a teacher of humanities and business for a new school at Mawson Lakes called Maple Leaf College. It’s a private Chinese and University of South Australia joint venture. He has filled in his time between finishing at Karamu and starting his new teaching position, at the wheel of a courier van. We would like to thank Mr Belz for all his hard work and support of a range of activities including rugby and young enterprise and wish him the best for the future.
Mrs Hilary Crawford
Mrs Crawford was one of our longest serving teachers. Starting in 1985 as part of the enhanced learning area, Mrs Crawford quickly established herself as one of the key parts of Karamu High Schools culture. She was joined by her son and daughter as teachers, not to mention several children. Mrs Crawford made a great change in many children’s life through her caring and gentle nature. She often went beyond what most would do including making sure families are looked after to ensure the children make it to school and have a uniform and a meal to get them through the day. A long standing leader of the social club we will miss the regular morning teas. We will all miss Mrs Crawford and we wish her well for a long and fulfilling retirement.
Mrs Stephanie Mills
Mrs Mills was a member of the social sciences faculty and started with us in 2016 joining us from Auckland. She was a key teacher in the area of geography and was a leader in the use of digital technology. A keen hockey player she spent many a cold night at the Park Island hockey turf cheering our students along. When the opportunity to gain promotion arose Mrs Mills took the leap and is now a lead teacher at Te Aratika Academy in Hastings. We wish her all the best and hope that she continues to develop in her new role

‘Little Shop of Horrors’ is a terrifying – yet hilarious – story about an awkward young Seymour (Cameron Young) and the ditsy Audrey (Jessica Shoemark) he’s in love with. The story capitulates through interactions with his Jewish adoptive mother, Mrs Mushnik (Amy Griffiths), a sadistic dentist (Jamie Hollway), a giant man-eating plant called Audrey II (Khalael Uelese), and three narrative street urchins who can’t mind their own business (Tia Ward, Romona Wainohu, and Lian Hontalba). This action packed, non-stop musical was (if I may say so myself) pulled off flawlessly by the cast and crew because of the tremendous hard work behind the scenes. Rehearsals began before school had even begun for the year, and the hard work only grew from there. In the eleven weeks prior to showtime the cast rehearsed at least three times per week. We lived, breathed and ate the show. Mrs Watson (Director), Mrs Cooper (Musical Director) and Ms McElwee (Choreographer) were especially guilty. The three teachers in charge dedicated countless hours outside of rehearsals to planning, set design, costumes and everything else that needed doing. We’d like to thank them again for all their support and expertise in getting the show up and running. Some days were long and much needed dance breaks were often taken during rehearsals to help keep us sane. It was during those long days we formed unbreakable friendships, the kind only found after spending countless hours working towards a common goal: making a fantastic show. It was because of all of this that ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ was a massive success. - Jessica Shoemark
SCHOOL PRODUCTION 12
Nga Korimako rose to the challenge once again in 2018, participating in the annual Big Sing Competition held at Waiapu Cathedral Napier earlier this year. They performed three beautiful selections of music chosen by the student leaders, Khalael Uelese (Year 13) and Tyla-Rose Halton (Year 13). The Maori and Pasifika choir were also taught with the assistance of the Uelese whanau. The choir’s voices blended together beautifully singing renditions of ‘Whakaaria Mai’, ‘He Taonga Mate Nui’ and ‘Lean on Me’ at the competition. They went on to perform in various other activities with the school, including the Blossom Day concert at St Matthew’s Cathedral, and the Hastings Youth Council’s Youth Grant Awards Evening. It’s been a great year and we look forward to watching Nga Korimako grow in the years to come. Khalael Uelese
BIG SING 13
HEAD STUDENTS Dear Karamu,
We’ve been in this relationship – what, five years now? But after all this time, I’m afraid that I must break up with you. Now, don’t even begin with the tears, you’re being overdramatic as usual! You have caused me pain and anxiety each day. You would think six and a half hours a day, five days a week, were enough – but no! You would drag me out after dark to volleyball games where we would inevitably lose, on weekends to tramp up chilly mountains, and to debating tournaments across the Bay. God forbid, you even woke me up before the sun rose, to attend ANZAC services and Academic Breakfasts. Talk about a clingy girlfriend!
Oh, settle down! It’s not like I’ve forgotten the good memories. I remember all the laughs that we had with teachers both in and out of classes. You know, they were like adoptive parents for me. Mrs Wiggins, Mrs Taylor, Mrs McDonald, Mrs Fraser, Mrs Price, Mrs Beaumont – the list of inspirational teachers to thank is endless. And I loved each of them – even Mr May (although that’s stretching it). Yes, I also remember all the friends you introduced me to. Abigail, Sahibpreet, and Reece – my best friends for as long as they will have me. Not to mention the dozens of other students who gave me a reason to get up each morning. From adorable Year 9s to fierce Year 13s, I have been in awe of the talent, love and potential in each of the friends I have made. I just hope that they realise the endless possibilities for them, and that they never give up on their dreams.
Well, I suppose I haven’t stopped to soak in the past five years with you, Karamu. It has passed in such a blur that there hasn’t been enough time to enjoy your presence. You’ve been pushing ahead like a steam train, and I barely feel like I’m keeping up. Although I’m the one leaving you, it feels like you are light years ahead of me. At least I know you’ll be fine without me. And in five years, you won’t even remember my favourite colour, my face, or even my name. But I will remember yours. I will hold our memories close.
Head Boy Cameron Young
It has been an honour to be in this relationship with you for five years. But I can’t change my mind about moving on, so I guess this is the final goodbye. Karamu, you have been my first and last girlfriend. I will miss you, and I will cherish you. And I will love you forever. Love, Cam
2018. What a year. Crazy busy and full of ups, downs, and fantastic people. It has been an absolute privilege to work alongside such a diverse, bubbly, and motivated student body. As Head Girl, I am so grateful to have been able to interact with all year groups, Years 9 - 13 and witness what they have been achieving and getting involved in throughout the year across all aspects of school life – sport, culture and academia. There is no doubt that saying goodbye to Karamu will feel like a punch in the guts, but what I have learnt during my unforgettable time at Karamu has not only given me a solid foundation of education to build on at university, but I have been shaped and guided into a confident young woman with a richer knowledge of the world and people as well as cementing values of respect, whanaungatanga, overcoming adversity and embracing diversity that I will take to the grave.
Karamu, not just a school, but a whanau. The reason Karamu will forever have a place in my heart, and the hearts of many others’ is the people. The staff, students, and Fern the school dog are the glue that hold this school together and make it so special and unique. To my mates, thank you for making the tough times easier and the good times great. The amount of inside jokes and stories we share is honestly the highlight of school for me. The friends I have made and the life lessons and advice I have received are invaluable and I will carry them through the rest of my adult life.
The opportunities that have come my way because of Karamu are endless, from travelling to Japan and staying in a foreign non-English speaking home by myself, rafting the Kaituna River, abseiling off Te Mata Peak, surfing at lunch time, winning national championships and travelling all over New Zealand with the Karamu emblem proudly on my chest- it has been epic! I encourage all current and future students to GET AMONGST (a phrase Cam thinks I use way too often but hey). There is nothing more regretful than a missed opportunity- so take advantage of them when they arise, or you may never get the chance to do so again. ‘Better your best’ is printed on the gym climbing wall and is a phrase that I always have in the back of my mind- but in school it is easy to forget that your best is good enough, as long as you are trying and giving your all- you are succeeding. Success isn’t defined by a badge or a certificate, it is the satisfaction you feel within yourself. It is impossible to sum all that I have learnt, memories I have made and people that have made the last five years as awesome as they were, into a couple of paragraphs. But I hope that everyone can look back on their time at Karamu with pride and a smile on their face, like I do. Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi engari he toa takimano.

My strength is not that of the individual, but that of the collective.
Head Girl Amy Saunders
Five years spent at Karamu High School provided me with some of the greatest highs and lows of my life so far. It gave me a taste of sweet success and a taste of absolute failure. But through it all, Karamu has remained there for me, for everyone. Even as our school has gone through hard times, it stayed true and strong. As the Year 13s come into our final days of schooling life, it is a time not only for us but for everyone, to be reminded that the journey isn’t complete without the highs and lows. It is simply a part of it. We should enjoy and be grateful for the success and allow the failures to be lessons.
To our teachers: Taking on the noble task of guiding the future is one of great magnitude. It is not easy, and we do not make it any easier. However, none of the most important jobs are. You stayed true to your devotion and managed to continue helping us no matter what hell we put you through. From all students past and present, thank you. It cannot be expressed enough.
Although now I sign off an era and move on to the next phase in my life, Karamu will remain. It will continue to be there for students and will continue to guide them through their highs and lows, along their journey. The teachers will continue to be supportive of students and help guide their future. And last of all, the students will remain there for each other. They will have each other’s backs. They will continue to stand for each other. That is what has defined Karamu. It is a family.
Deputy Head Boy Nick Palmer
R.I.P to those we have loved and lost. We will never forget them.
It’s extremely difficult to put into words what Karamu has done for me in the five years I have been here. If someone told me in Year 9 I would become the confident and motivated person I am today, I wouldn’t have believed them. Looking back at the Year 9 Big Day Out where I knew hardly anyone to all the amazing experiences Karamu has offered to me along the way, including kayaking around the Queens Charlotte sounds, to representing the school through dance and all the crazy house events it’s hard to believe that my time at this school is nearly over. I cannot thank the staff and class mates enough for helping me to realise that being outside your comfort zone isn’t scary, instead it gives you an opportunity to grow and learn. Throughout my journey at Karamu, I have been forced out of my comfort zone and without this I would not be the person I am today, I would not have experienced the wonderful things that I have done, and I would not have met some of the inspiring people that I have come to know.
Deputy Head Girl Jaime Mossman
The staff at Karamu have shaped my five years into some of the most enjoyable years of my life. Walking into my calculus class on the first day hearing “we work from the first day to the last day,” was daunting and I knew I was in for a tough year. However, knowing I could “stop the engine” at any time was a relief. In Mr Noble’s words, the staff of Karamu have been “sensational.” From the office ladies giving you a big smile whenever you walk in, even when you are borrowing tights because you forgot them that morning, to being given about 20 different extensions for our history internals. All the teachers and staff have always had the student’s best interest at heart and have made coming to school, even when it feels like we have 20 million different things to do, just little bit easier. It is a truism that chemistry can sometimes be painful and that hearing “check the emails” every day in physics can get a bit repetitive but everything the teachers have done for us was for our own good. School helps us to grow and in that respect the teachers were awesome, always willing to give up their time to answer stupid questions or just have a yarn after school about anything and everything. In a nutshell we could not have got through the past five years without you. Thank you. To all the Year 9s to Year 12s, thank you for inspiring me and teaching me that even just a smile can brighten someone’s day. I have loved being able to build relationships with some of you through House events and dance teams. To my fellow Year 13s, although we have had our ups and our downs, we have made it. We have grown together from tiny Year 9s too scared to put our hands up, into Year 13s who will share their opinions no matter what, even when they are not asked for. I will always remember the laughs we had, the memories we made and the relationships we built. It is hard to think that next year we will all go our separate ways, but I trust that we will be there for each other always.
For me, the connections I have made with the staff, students and Fern are what makes Karamu such a difficult place to leave. In Mr. Leitch’s words, I want to set every student at Karamu a challenge. At least once during your time at Karamu step out of you comfort zone. Be kind to one another and remember you will always be a part of the Karamu family.

For another year, the Year 13 students and their dates dressed in their glamorous gowns and fancy suits for the annual Karamu Cabaret. Our theme was ‘Gods and Goddesses’, and the Cheval Rooms venue at the Hastings Racecourse was decorated beautifully with Greek-styled ivy leaves and pillars. The night was filled with dancing, laughter, and topped off with a delicious three-course meal. A professional photographer, as well as a photobooth, ensured that the sparkling memories of the night were captured.
The Queen of the Cabaret went to Tyla-Rose Halton, dressed in a sparkly blue gown and adorned with a home-made feather cloak. The King, Cameron Young, was polished with a satin pink and white tuxedo. The Princess, Reece Sullivan, wore a sheer black dress that was embroidered with flowers. The Prince, Keagan Klempel, was looking sleek in a maroon suit.

All of the students looked beautiful, and each enjoyed a night to celebrate their last year with their friends. It was truly a night to remember, and a massive thank you must go to the team of students and Mr Wooster who organised this event. - Cameron Young

KHS ATHLETICS SPORTS 2018
The 2018 School Swimming Sports was held on a sensational sunny Hawke’s Bay day at the Frimley swimming pools. We have a mixture of traditional and alternative athletic events. In the championship events we saw excellent discus and shotput throwers, great high and long jumpers, speedy sprinters. The athletes’ total score across a mixture of five field events determines who will be the school champion. In the senior boys, Nick Palmer (New Zealand shot put champion) only had four events on the tally sheet so even with his amazing record breaking shot put result (a massive 4m improvement over the previous record) he could not beat the total points that Mr “consistency” Linkin Smith accumulated . It was a similar scenario for our senior girls with Ruby Brett’s great running being narrowly eclipsed by the all-round Cortez Te Pou abilities across a range of events. All students do a 100m sprint with the two best in each house moving onto the finals, which is always a highlight of the day. Each traditional Olympic event has a tabloid equivalent. Each house has a set time to score as many points as possible. The high jump alternative is the “waterside”, the long jump becomes “speed jump”, the discus is the “gumboot throw” and the Medicine Ball throw replaces the shotput. The rope pull is also a crowd pleaser with its display of strength and power.

Year 13 Leadership Camp
This January was the second time the Leadership Camp was held at Camp David. The Camp was a team building and skills event for the Year 13 leaders of the school. We were split in two even teams to get to know each other more and work to each person’s strength and build up our weaknesses. The event was fun, activities ranging from trust fall, blindfold directions and spider web challenge to dance offs and a mini relay race. But my personal favourite was Master Chef, this was so fun, in little groups of four we showed off our cooking skills or lack of cooking skills.
26
Each individual had interviews with senior management, some were nervous or scared while others were very excited. Then the last day came to the most crucial event which was the voting stage, where we got to write down our preferred choices for the Head student roles this year and put them in a ballot. The most rewarding experience many had was being vulnerable around each other and having a therapeutic intimate get-together, which made everyone closer after the camp. A massive thank you must go to Mr Noble and Miss Primmer – it could not have happened without the two of them! - Abigail Masengi
ATHLETICS Karamu High School, again, fielded a fine team of athletes who competed at the annual East Coast North Island Secondary School Athletics Track and Field Championships, held at the Hawkes Bay Regional Sports Park, on Wednesday 14 March 2018. This year saw the rise of some impressive young talent for Karamu High School, particularly amongst our female athletes, with 5 of our female athletes achieving a top 3 finish, across 6 different disciplines. Special mention goes to Maddison Hughes who took out an impressive 3 titles in the Junior Girls division. Along with Maddison, special mention goes to the following students, who placed in the top 4 for the given events: Maddison Hughes: 1st Junior Girls 100m 1st Junior Girls 200m 1st Junior Girls 300m Ruby Brett: 2nd Intermediate Girls 400m 2nd Intermediate Girls 200m Maia Bassett: 1st Junior Girls Pole Vault Lucy McKay: 1st Intermediate girls Pole vault Harmony Kautai: 3rd Junior Girls Shot Put 2nd Junior Girls 4 x 100m relay: Maddison Hughes, Harmony Kautai, Briah Timms, Jordyn Nicholson Maddison, Ruby and Lucy gained selection into the East Coast athletics team that went on to compete at the North Island Secondary Schools Athletics Championships, held in Whanganui, during the first weekend of April.

DEBATING Junior Debating Each year, the juniors are given the opportunity to join debating – which is like polite, professional arguing. This year we had a large number of juniors interested, and had five Year 9 teams, and five Year 10 teams. Karamu has a prestigious history of excellent debaters, so it is fantastic to enlist juniors in this academic activity. The teams faced each other in four friendly rounds, with moots (or topics for the debates) such as, “This House would ban high school relationships”, “This House believes that phones are necessary for your survival”, and “This House believes that Santa’s elves should be paid minimum wage”. Although three of the rounds were prepared, and the teams were given two or more weeks to construct their arguments, they also tried their hand at a limited-prep round. In only one hour they formed their case – without the help of their coaches – and had to debate. All the adjudicators were extremely impressed with the quality of debating from all teams, which had shown the skills they had picked up throughout the year. In order to ease juniors into the swing of how debating runs, we had junior debating coaches assigned in pairs to a team. We’d like to give a massive thank you to the seventeen senior students (and Mrs Fraser) who volunteered their time to teach debating skills to the juniors. The coordinator for Junior Debating this year was Cameron Young (Year 13). Although the role has historically gone to a teacher, Cameron happily volunteered his time to facilitate the coaches and debaters. He found it so rewarding to see the mass of juniors involved with such an exhilarating activity. He said, “It’s important to build the confidence and self-esteem in youth from a young age, and there’s no better way than public speaking and communication! Debating is so special because it encourages you to think outside-the-box and critically about social issues.” Congratulations to all the juniors and their coaches on another successful year of debating. We hope to see you all back next year to argue more moots! - Cameron Young
Hawke’s Bay Regional Debating The annual Hawke’s Bay Regional Debating Competition started with bang – and was the toughest year yet! This year we were lucky enough to have a group of ten senior debaters entered in the competition, with four teams total. The competition was held at Hastings Girls’ High School and the welcome speaker was Tukituki MP Lawrence Yule. Over the intense weekend, our four teams were challenged by other schools and each other with moots such as ‘THW ban the concept of zoos’, ‘THB the feminist movement should discourage women to wear makeup’, and ‘THW ban private schools’. Amazingly, we had two Karamu teams (KHS1 – Sahibpreet Kaur, Liam Robson and Reanna Browning; KHS2 – Jessica Shoemark, Abigail Masengi and Dean Polak) facing two Napier Girls’ High teams in the semi-finals. Although both teams put up a great fight, Napier Girls’ High secured 1st and 2nd with KHS3 securing 3rd. Standout debaters of this year’s competitions were Sophie Jones (Year 11), Jessica Shoemark (Year 11), and Abigail Kilkolly (Year 12), who each picked up the Most Promising Speaker awards. Jessica was also chosen as a reserve speaker on our regional Hawke’s Bay Debating Squad, who would compete at Nationals. Massive thanks must go to Mrs Price and ex-Head Boy, Toby Hunter, for their support and for giving up Wednesday mornings to coach us at 7am.

The ‘Clothesline Structure’, the Modulation Song, horse breaths – ask anyone doing Speech Extension lessons and they will tell you exactly what this means! Speech Extension classes teach the students voice production, extemporaneous speaking, meeting procedures, and many other skills. After Mrs Bartlett’s retirement in 2017, Ms Anna Coleman joined our ranks as an incredibly passionate and resourceful speech teacher. We admire her for taking charge of such a large task, and we thank her for her support and friendship.
SPEECH EXTENSION
Most students sit one or two speech exams throughout the year, which are recognised by the New Zealand Speech Board, to extend students. This year the Year 9s have sat their ‘Talk Up’ programme which build confidence, and the Year 10s have sat their ‘Introduction to Communication in Leadership’. At senior level, the Year 11s sat their ‘Red Bar’ exam and Module 1 of their ASB Diploma in Public Speaking, and the Year 12s also sat their Module 2 and 3 exams of the same Diploma.
Our alumni – Abigail Masengi, Cameron Young and Sahibpreet Kaur – completed five years of speech classes with their Advanced Associate Diploma in Teaching, which allowed them to teach oral communication and public speaking to 45 Year 9 and 10 students. Abigail and Cameron also completed their Advanced Certificate in Professional Speaking. As you can see, Karamu has had a proud history of excellent public speakers and debaters who can confidently stand and speak in any situation. We will no doubt continue our proud tradition of successful speech graduates for many years to come! Cameron Young

ANZAC DAY ANZAC Day on 25 April marks an important commemoration of those who fought in WWI and all wars New Zealand has been engaged in since. This year, the event took on a special meaning as 2018 marks the 100th year since Armistice, the official end of the ‘Great War’. Although Armistice was not to be commemorated until the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month (11th November), our School Leaders represented Karamu on ANZAC morning this year at the Dawn Parade. They marched to the Hastings cenotaph with returned servicemen and servicewomen, Scouts and other school groups. As is our tradition, we gather to commemorate, or share our memories. For this generation, we fortunately have no memories of war, but appreciate the experiences of some of the people who attended and spoke at the dawn ceremony. The memorial attracted many people. It was a moving event.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.

BADMINTON This year Badminton has continued its long tradition of creating a social and enjoyable game for all players and skill levels. We had seven competitive teams and also learners who played on Fridays after school. Thanks to Mrs Taylor’s and Miss Glenny’s unyielding support for our teams through their coaching and organisation and to our drivers including Mrs McDonald , Mrs Hunter and Miss Redwood. Who knows if we won or lost overall – it doesn’t matter! The friendships being made on the court were success in itself. Well done to the cup winners. Tate Gorton won the Senior Boys’ Cup and Keelan Heesterman the Junior Cup. Sara Renall won the Junior Girls’ Cup and Holly Davison won the Senior Cup. Thank you everyone who played Badminton this year.

BASKETBALL Junior Boys Basketball. We had 2 teams in the Junior competition for the 2018 season. The Junior B team headed by Mr Wardrope had many players new to the sport and their enthusiasm and thirst to improve was obvious from the first tip off. While they did not top their division, they played with pride and all made great strides in their basketball ability. The Junior A team got off to a great start and ended the season in the semifinal playoff, unfortunately they did not make the final in a strong division. It was great to see the future of basketball at Karamu High School going from strength to strength. Great to see the support on the court and the great driving skills of Mr Hollands.
Senior Boys Basketball The Senior Boys Basketball team ended up winning their division in a close fought final against Wairoa College. With half of the team leaving the school at the end of the season it was a great way to finish the season. A big thanks to Dave Casson for leading the boys through the season

Junior Girls Basketball
This year the Junior Girls Basketball team was mostly made up of Year 9 students and some first-time basketballers. Despite our inexperience, the team performed really well in the opening games winning the majority of these and then being placed in Division 1 Championship. As the season progressed, so too did the girls’ skill level and teamwork. The competition was very strong in the Division 1 grade but we managed to reach the semi-finals. Unfortunately, things did not go our way in this season and our final placing for the year was 4th in Division 1. This was, however, a very commendable result given the number of new players in the team, and the girls always performed to their very best. Hopefully, we can build on this success next year as most players will still be eligible for the Junior competition. Stand out players were Aiyahna Araia (Year 10), Leilani Williams (Year 9), Briah McGrail-Timms (Year 9) and Harmony Kautai (Year 9). - Beryl De Guzman

CANOE POLO
2018 has been a very successful season for all of our Karamu Canoe Polo teams. A highlight of the year was having six Karamu teams qualify for the 2018 New Zealand Secondary Schools Canoe Polo Championships at Makino Aquatic Centre in Fielding, Manawatu. Having six teams qualify is incredible from one school, let alone finishing the competition with all teams in medal contention! This was a testament to everyone’s hard training and commitment throughout the year. Junior Girls took home a gold medal after their 12-1 win against Sacred Heart. Junior Boys beat St Johns College for bronze, Senior Boys B in Division 2, had a very close game against Hastings Boys High School just missing out on gold to finish 2nd overall. Senior Girls B finished 3rd place, winning their final against home team, Fielding High School. Senior Boys A improved dramatically from regionals but unfortunately just missed out on a bronze medal after a challenging match against St Peters College. Senior Girls A had a full-on final against Taradale High School but narrowly missed the win and took home silver. A very special mention goes to Sharnie O’Connor, Tia Lewis and Jacob McNeil who made the 2018 National Tournament teams. Jacob McNeil and Amy Saunders were also lucky enough to attend the New Zealand Road to 2019-2022 Development Camp where they were selected to play in the tournament teams at Ataahua Championships. With six national representative Karamu teams, it is no wonder why 26 of these players were selected to represent Hawke’s Bay during the 2018 season. It has been an insanely busy and successful year for Karamu Canoe Polo. It is exciting to see the sport growing and our students excelling outside the classroom, all of which would not have been possible without the support and guidance from our coaches, managers, school staff and whanau. We have no doubt that 2019 will be as successful as this year was – if not better! - Amy Saunders

CLAY TARGET SHOOTING The team of Daniel Stuart, Cameron Spargo, Oliver WigginsCrowe, Max Crossan and Jesse Kereru remained unchanged from 2017. The early focus was the regional competition, the Central and Lower North Island series. Oliver Wiggins-Crowe was to dominate this series with the only perfect score of 100/100 at Eketahuna and eventually take the High Over All for the series winning the McCormick Family Cup from the other 90 shooters. Oliver also won the McLanachan Cup for Single Barrel and was 2nd in the Points Score. He carried this good form onto the South Island Championships with a Bronze medal in Single Rise. He then went one better in the New Zealand Championships with a silver medal in the Single Rise. This capped off a truly remarkable year for Oliver. Our captain Daniel was close behind Oliver coming 6th over all and 5th in Points Score. In the series, the Karamu team got off to a flying start gaining an advantage over their main rivals Lindisfarne when the two teams shot-off after being tied on the same score in round 2 at the Hawke’s Bay range. Karamu won that battle and the two teams would be locked together, pushing each other right up to the seventh and final shoot at Woodville. Tricky conditions prevailed. Karamu had set up their tent near the field that Lindisfarne were to shoot on and the team members saw Lindisfarne faulter. A ripple of expectation spread throughout the squad despite the coach trying to calm everything down and just focus on our own performance. Victory was in sight. The mind can do funny things in these situations and as we approached the mark the anticipation was high. Within the first few shots, it was apparent that nerves had set in and we

stumbled our way to a score that saw us fall short of what we needed. At the end of the series, we were separated by 21 points out of 3000. We had been beaten and we knew we had our opportunity. The team that beat us went on to be 2nd in the New Zealand Championships and we knew they were better for the competition we had throughout the season. In July, the team competed in the North Island championships with considerable success. Daniel won an epic shoot-off in the Single Rise to become North Island Champion. Cameron won the shoot-off for single Barrel. This meant that Karamu team members had taken two of the three individual championships at this event. In open events, Cameron won the Double Rise at the Hawke’s Bay District Championships with a superb effort in which he beat the ex-world champion and several other NZ title holders. He was the Junior High Gun at this event. Jesse was 1st in the B grade Single Rise. He had carried his good form through from his recent High Over All at the HB Series shoot. Later in the year Jesse was involved in a marathon shoot-off against the Hawke’s Bay President Darryl Remnant, who is an Old Boy of Karamu, for the Club Single Rise Championship. A keen group of novice shooters has been practicing this year and we look forward to entering a second team in the series next year. A big thank you to the wonderful support from the parents who have tirelessly fundraised and supported their children. Thanks also to the school, clubs and club members for their support with out which this team would not be as successful. - Nigel Field

The 2018 season went well with some memorable wins. We had a few close wins and losses. We worked as a team and everyone’s success was a team effort. Molly went on to represent Hawke’s Bay in the senior women and under 18 teams. Beating Lindisfarne was one of the high lights of the season. We would like to thank Mr Taylor, Mr Leitch and our captain Jacob Reeve.

ORIENTEERING
Karamu has a core group of orienteers who have competed in both local and North Island school events this year, with some great results spread amongst the team. The first Hawke’s Bay interschool event was the School Sprint Champs, held in the HB Showgrounds in February. Our best result on the night was Year 9 student Annabel Elmsly, who ran a strong race for 2nd in the Junior Girls grade. In May, the HB Schools Long Champs were held in very wet and muddy conditions at Rotoma, a steep, hilly farm map. Karamu had podium finishes with Caroline Glen ( IG Standard) and Thomas Steinemann ( SB Standard) who were both able to keep their footing and slip and slide their way to 2nd place in their races. Although a fine day, it was still muddy underfoot on the Craggy Range map for the HB School Relay Champs in June, but our Intermediate Boys team of Pierson Clement, Rory McKay and James Miles worked well together for 3rd equal place. We also entered two teams in the HB School Rogaine Champs in July, a 3 hour event on a rugged farm map near Putorino . In the Junior Boys grade Pierson and Rory worked well for 4th, followed by James and Jack Gilchrist in 5th. In the April school holidays we had a team of six at the NISS Orienteering Championships that were held over three days on the Kapiti Coast. Over 300 secondary students competed in three days of racing with the Sprint Champs on Friday, the Long Distance Individual Champs on Saturday and the relays on Sunday. Our best results came in the Individual Champs at Waitarere Beach on Saturday, where courses were run on pine forest and undulating farmland. In the IB Standard grade James Miles was 2nd, just beaten by 7 seconds, and in the JB Standard Grade Rory McKay was 1st, winning by over 90 seconds. This year we had six different students on the podium at four of the seven interschool events, and that is a great result. Congratulations to all our 2018 orienteers and a big thank you to all the parents who have transported and supported the students at both interschool and club events throughout the year.

CROSS COUNTRY During Terms Two and Three, Karamu students competed in a variety of interschool events. In May we had two teams of four competing in the East Coast North Island Cross Country Relays run at Anderson Park, Havelock North. Our Junior Boys team was 8th ( best run from James Miles) and our Year 9 Boys team was 7th ( with the best run from Rory McKay). Ruby Brett was our only runner who travelled to Gisborne for the ECNI Cross Country Champs, coming 4th in Senior Girls. This qualified Ruby for a place in the ECNI Senior Girls Relay team at the NZSS Cross Country Nationals run two weeks later in Taupo. Her team was 10th in the relay, and in the individual race Ruby finished 60th out of 132. Ruby’s preferred event is the Road Race and in August at Frimley Park she ran a strong race to take 2nd in Senior Girls at the ECNI event. Her fast pace of 15.15 for 4km was only 10 seconds behind the winner.

CYCLING 2018
Road cycling is both a team and individual sport. At Karamu, our road cyclists enjoy an approximately 45-minute ride on Thursdays during sports period. These sessions are orchestrated by Mr Jamieson. This becomes training for the major school competition in our region, the Hawke’s Bay Secondary Schools Cycling Championships. This incorporates both team and individual sections. This year, Karamu entered a Junior Boys team and four individual road racers. Aimee Shaw (Year 11) is an aspiring cyclist and high achiever in cycling. This year, she has competed in many races, series and tours including ‘The Hub Tour’, ‘Bev May Women’s Tour’, ‘CHB Junior Tour’, ‘NZ Age Group Road Nationals Road Race’, ‘Northern Tour’, and ‘Cyclocross Nationals’, to which she was the Under 19 1st Place Champion! The results were as follows: Under 16 Boys Time Trial – 1st Place Team: Hamish Mackay (Year 9), Jack Gilchrist (Year 10), Ben Gouldsbrough (Year 10), and James Miles (Year 10) Under 16 Boy’s Individual Road Race – 2nd Place, Jack Gilchrist (Year 10); 3rd Place, Ben Gouldsbrough (Year 10) Under 17 Girls – 1st Place, Aimee Shaw (Year 11) Under 17 Boys – 3rd Place, Jamie Hollway (Year 11) - Jamie Hollway

THE GREEN TEAM This year, the Green Team started off with some of the members and their whanau attending the annual Beach Clean-Up at the Waitangi Reserve. Together, they picked up around 400kg of all sorts of junk, from ordinary plastic to glass bottles, a full rubber tyre to broken pieces of fishing rods. The day ended with a sausage sizzle and a smile. One of the Team Leaders was Abigail Masengi (Year 13), who was also a Hawke’s Bay Environmental Youth Councillor this year. She was able to organise activities for the community and the Green Team to participate in outside of school time. These activities ranged from river clean ups, river planting days and the fun movie screening night of ‘Blue the Film’ about consequences of climate change. We hope next year more from Karamu will join the Hawke’s Bay Environmental Youth Council and stay active in the environment. Tips from the Green team just to make your life a bit greener: - Use a reusable Keep Cup for grabbing coffee to go. - Buy a metal straw to use over and over, instead of using plastic, one-use ones. - Invest in beeswax wrap instead of plastic cling wrap. - Be a conscious consumer and think about whether the products you buy are sustainable or environmentally-supportive. -

PACE YOURSELF Pace Yourself is Karamu’s social running group, that focusses on mental health and wellbeing. Run by Mr Cummins and Ms Veen, we made it our goal this year to support each other through exercise, and provide opportunities for people to speak up and discuss any issues that they may have been experiencing. Everyone knows that regular exercise is good for the body, but exercise is also one of the most effective ways to improve your mental health. It can relieve stress, improve memory, help you sleep better, and boost your overall mood. Throughout the year we mostly went for runs around Windsor Park, however, we also had the opportunity to run along Ocean Beach and up Te Mata Peak. It was a great pleasure to be a key part of Pace Yourself this year, and it was a great chance to provide advice and support to my peers. Karamu is a great place, and help will always be there for those that need it. - Liam Robson

Leaping out of bed at 4am in the morning is unheard of but not last Wednesday for the equestrian team! We were all up bright and early driving down to Dannevirke (which is much slower when you are towing a horse Flat) to go and give our all at the Southern Stars Dannevirke Interschools event. Being a ‘townie’ school, we don’t have a large team but with Emma Mansell, Kayla Anderson, Hannah Mackay, Taryn Derbridge, Rhiannon Groen, myself and Kendell Hansen as our professional groom we didn’t look too shabby. I kicked the day off with the first dressage test of the day for our team and everyone standing on the sidelines supporting definitely set the mood for the day. It was a busy day with people riding, and those who weren’t darting in and around making sure we watched everyone doing our school proud. It was an eventful day, but the highs outweighed the lows by tonnes with everyone trying their absolute best and achieving goal after goal no matter how big or small. We had a few riders who were giving the next level up a go, and some giving their very first competition a go. A very successful day with many honorable mentions at prizegiving and Taryn coming out with a second place which is outstanding for our newbie to the team. Overall a wonderful day which everyone enjoyed. A big thank you to all the parents that helped out and the wonderful Ms Wiggins for organising and making the day run as smooth as possible.

FUTSAL Futsal continued to grow as a sport at Karamu High in 2018. We had 7 teams in total this year playing in a range of leagues. The Junior Girls B team remained undefeated for the season and the Junior A team came 2nd in their grade. The junior boys A team performed well throughout their grade and made it through to the top four. The B team had their moments and showed improvement with a fantastic end to the season with a win. It was great to have so many parents supporting the teams weekly. With a strong number of juniors coming through who have played the sport before, the future looks bright for Futsal at Karamu.

FOOTBALL 2018 was always going to be a transitional season with eight of last year’s team moving on. This, on top of being promoted to Division 2 on the back of a successful season last year, was going to push the team to improve quickly and in great strides. Lead by James Morley and Liam Robson these boys marshalled the team well throughout the season. This was a very young team with a third of the squad coming from Year 9 & 10, a team that will be building for the next few years. Despite suffering several close defeats, this squad just grew and grew throughout the season. With a keenness to learn and improve week on week, they pushed the top teams, but just didn’t get the results to show for their work. With only a few players moving on next year, we anticipate this continuation of improvement. What was great to see was some new blood coming into the squad with the likes of Bradley Hughes and Connor Auckram joining the football

HOCKEY
Hockey has continued to be a competitive, growing sport in Hawke’s Bay. Although the results of the season weren’t as the teams had hoped, all the players worked well together and competed as a well-groomed team. A highlight of the season was the first XI team’s win against Napier Boys. The score ended up at 5 - 1 to Karamu, with some excellent shots being scored. The enthusiasm of the hockey boys and girls of Karamu is hard to beat. Despite the results not being what they wanted, they walked away after every game feeling the support and encouragement from their coaches and peers. Jade Ubels (Year 12) said that it was great that “we got our name out there more”. She noticed that the team worked really well together, especially near the end of the season, in comparison to last year. Her favourite memory was when their goalie, Tamar Hoogendoorn (Year 12), epically stopped a goal that saved the game. All the hockey teams had a fantastic experience, and we have no doubt they’ll continue to improve for next year’s tournaments. - Amber Flashoff

DANCE NZ MADE On August 6, a contemporary dance troupe of eight girls and two soloists went to the Dance NZ Made Regionals held in Napier Municipal Theatre. A range of Hawke’s Bay schools competed in this event to win a place to go to Nationals held in Palmerston North. The contemporary group did a piece called ‘Restless Nights’, a tribute to our lost friends last year. This dance was very special to us and we were placed overall champions in the Senior Division. Emily Coppell (Year 13) and Jaime Mossman (Year 13) also won a Choreography Award. The group headed to Nationals on September 23, held in Palmerston North. We were performing against so many talented schools and the girls performed to their best, showing what little Hawke’s Bay could do. It was a great experience for the team. Amy Griffin did a solo named ‘Wait’ and Maia Bassett did a solo called ‘Trapped’. Both were competing against a range of talented students, and ended up winning their Divisions at regional level respectively. There was a lot of tough competition at Nationals, but both girls danced beautifully, with Maia placing second in her Division. As well as a contemporary group and two soloists, we had a duet by Emily and Jaime. They performed their duet the day before the Finals, and they did a fantastic job. Not only should the team of girls be commended for their hard work, but thanks must go to the supportive families and teachers who made this happen. Congratulations again to the girls, you all worked very hard and put a huge amount of effort and time in to the competition. - Emily Coppell
PEACE YOURSELF A zen relaxation group where students and teachers alike get together to do yoga. Run by Ms Veen and lead by various students, the group focuses on unwinding from a stressful week of school work. At Karamu, we believe that it is important to look after your overall wellbeing. Peace Yourself provides a platform for everyone to take some time out of their busy schedule and stretch away their worries. Poses ranged from downward dog (a student consensus shows this to be the worst pose) to the corpse pose (a little lie down never hurt anyone). Peace Yourself invites everyone who wishes to acquire some inner zen to attend, and is an enjoyable experience with no judgement of others’ individual abilities.

KAPA HAKA Te Rau Karamu pulled off a fantastic performance at the NgÄ ti Kahungunu Ahurei regionals. Led by Koka Sharlena Maui and Koka Pikihoro Stewart, Te Rau Karamu commanded the stage well. Being a non-competitive year made it a bit more flexible for tutors to work with the senior students and share leadership rolls per item within the bracket. Overall another outstanding kapa haka regionals for Te Rau Karamu Kapa Haka. The students have worked hard with limited practices and can be proud of their performance at the regional competition. With this great start we can only grow stronger as the year continues with various upcoming performances. - Tihei Karamu!

SOFTBALL Karamu High School softball went from strength to strength in 2018. We had two strong teams, one in division 1, the second in division 2. The division 1 team were runners up in the Fastpitch 2018 season, however we were the top high school team for the region. Key players in the team were Brock Coulbeck as catcher, Nastashia Ngawhika as pitcher and Te Waiarani Randall at second base. Some players went on to both regional and national success with Nastashia Ngawhika U18 Hawke’s Bay team, the U16 New Zealand team that travelled to the international softball academy in Blacktown, Sydney Australia and the U18 international softball academy in Newcastle Australia. Captains were Nastashia Ngawhika and Brock Coulbeck and a big thanks to coach Jamie Ngawhika. The division 2 team welcomed some new players to the team, their success culminated in winning the 2nd division for Hawke’s Bay. Notable players were Corey Sullivan and Thomas Haszard, and Braden Cooper hitting his first homerun with loaded bases. A big thank you to Whaea Racheal Tuika and Mr Mark Rolls and captain Corey Sullivan. We look forward to a successful 2019 season - Nastashia Ngawhika

MUSIC Karamu Chorus Led by Mrs Cooper, Karamu Chorus displayed a fantastic performance of ‘One Day More’ from Les Misérables at the annual Karamu Arts Evening this year. In comparison to previous years, this all-inclusive group (formerly known as Ultimately Vocal) is no longer solely focused on singing. Acting, makeup, costuming and choreography were incorporated into the preparation for this big performance. The beauty of this group is that a wide range of students are able to participate, from Year 9 dancers to Year 13 singers. At Karamu, the only time it is acceptable to go onstage covered in dirt and ripped clothes is when performing as peasants during the French Revolution – which Karamu Chorus pulled off impeccably. And the audience would be able to tell you, you sure do hear the people sing! - Amber Flashoff
TECH CREW
The 2018 tec and sound crew looked after sound and lighting for a range of school events. One of the biggest was the school production where their experience ans skills with both sound and lighting paid off culminating in a highly professional and well delivered show. The team was also responsible for bringing the Sounds in the Round productions, supporting both dance and drama productions, and continuing to support outside visitors who use our facilities such as the Ruataniwha Dam public consultation meetings. There were several new people in the tec group, and they welcomed Mr Rolls who has brought his expertise and patience into the mix. The school activities also included school assemblies, special assemblies and farewells, sporting events, swimming sports, athletics and tabloids. They showed they have great taste picking music for Sounds in the Round and sports days. They also represented us well on our open evening showing that they are key and essential to the smooth running of events. If it sounds great they are responsible.

NETBALL The 2018 netball season for Karamu High school has yet again been a success. This year saw 9 Karamu High School teams competing in the Saturday competition and the Karamu A team (Aoraki), competing in the top, Super 12 grade, played on Tuesdays. For Karamu A, it was a successful season, given that this year, the team comprised of many new and young players. I’m extremely proud of the growth and maturity the team developed over this season. The perseverance and hard work put into training helped ensure that the team placed well. We placed 6th out of the 12 teams in the competition, being an improvement of 3 placings from last season. We hope to see Aoraki maintain their position in the super 12 competition next year and further improve in the years to come. The Karamu Senior B team (Tasman), had a very successful season, placing 1st in their grade in the Saturday competition. Cook took out 2nd place in their grade. A huge success, good work girls. A big thank you to all the coaches and managers, this year would not have been as successful without your help and commitment. Thank you for your passion and coaching of this sport to help develop young players to better their best. A thank you to parents for the Saturday morning support, in all weather conditions. Again, without all your help, netball would not have been possible. To all the girls, well done on the tough season. Enjoy your well earned break. Keep up the training and we look forward to seeing you back at trials next year. -Tia Lewis & Michaela Edwards (Karamu A captain & vice captain, 2018,

RUGBY 1st XV Rugby The 1st XV rugby squad started in the B-Grade Division of the competition, and the entire squad can be proud of their achievements throughout the season. The group was made up of both experienced and new players, who showed genuine character by always remaining competitive. As Captain, Samuel Walton-Sexton (Year 13) led by example through his skill and decision making, and was awarded ‘Most Outstanding Player’. Further senior players – Luke Kupa (Year 13), Ethan Hope (Year 13), Jacob McNeil (Year 13), Blake Tresidder (Year 12), Jonty Tresidder (Year 12), and Ammon Kaio (Year 12) – displayed their skill and competitiveness each week, and can be pleased with their final seasons of secondary school rugby. New players – Kayden Lomas (Year 12), Riley Walton-Sexton (Year 11), Corbyn Te Whaiti (Year 11), Zac Brooker (Year 11), Joel Tawera (Year 10), Karlin Painter-Dudley (Year 10), and Steven Fungsoongnern (Year 9) – made a major impact in the squad and developed well as the season unfolded. Despite having aspirations to play in the backline, both Blake and Jonty Tresidder were outstanding with their consistency and commitment amongst the forwards. The squad was strengthened by the inclusion of Flaxmere College players, Donald Taufu and Sanchez Tamati, and Havelock North High School player, Ben Hulena. In terms of results, the team did well to reach a semi-final against the Hastings Boys’ High School U15 team. Unfortunately, Hastings Boys’ managed to score a winning try during the final play of a fantastic match. Hastings Boys’ went on to win the final against Napier Boys’. We also played in the Central Six tournament in Whanganui at the end of the season. As always, all players acquitted themselves well both on and off the field. The squad made the tournament final but couldn’t quite get past a winning Hawera High School. Isaac Hinton, Riley Walton-Sexton and Jonty Tresidder were deserved recipients of season awards. The squad was also very proud of Samuel who achieved the prestigious honour of making the 2018 NZ Maori U18 Squad. A heartfelt thanks to Head Coach, Shannon Sexton, and Assistant Coaches, Elijah Martin and Jon Read. – Jon Read
Girl’s Rugby The Girls 1st XV Rugby team of 2018 had a very good season in terms of finishing Championship Runners Up, although doing this the team struggled with consistency to meetings and trainings. If the team want to win the finals in 2019 every player needs to improve: communication, availability and attitude. For us to continue improving as a team, we need to work hard individually and as a sisterhood. Because we didn’t have any Year 13 players we don’t lose anyone. So, to all who are returning: relax over the summer and get ready to return fitter, faster and fired up for 2019. There were some stand out performances by some players during 2018. These players were Raegan Robinson, Te Waiarani Randell, Crystal Hapuku-Te Nahu and Harmony Kautai. Then there were some players that gained higher honours, being selected in the HBSS Under 18’s Rugby team. They were Leilani Williams, Harmony Kautai, Raegan Robinson, Cortez Te Pou and Teani Feleu (from Woodford House). All attended the HBRU Under 18 camp, from there all were selected to represent Hawke’s Bay. Some “thank yous” needed to be given to our management team of Miss Sharlena Maui and Mr Tom Blake. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and we look forward to catching up with you all next year. - Keelan Heesterman

An Interview with Samuel Walton-Sexton
Samuel Walton-Sexton was selected this year to play for the New Zealand Maori Under 18 Rugby Team, as well as the Karamu 1st XV. With this being his last year at Karamu, I wanted to sit down with him and discover how he got to where he is today.
What do you remember about your first rugby game?
I remember the sausage sizzle and can of fizzy Mum bought for me every frosty morning, down at my home stomping-ground of Elwood park.
How does it feel to represent your country in rugby?
For me, I wasn’t just representing my country. I was representing my culture, my family and Karamu – in honour of all they have done for me.
What got you to where you are today?
My Mum has been the biggest supporter of me off the field. From a young age she was getting me to games and training’s and just being there in support even though she doesn’t know anything about the sports I play. She was loud, embarrassing and motivating in all areas of life. Dad was always there to be my coach through club and school but has never forced me to play rugby, which added to the enjoyment, as I knew I was playing on my own accord. Even though Karamu isn’t known for their rugby programme it has helped me grow – not only as a rugby player, but a person. It’s taught me to be more patient and willing to help out others that have different abilities.
Do you plan to have a career in rugby?
I certainly hope to have a career in rugby. All I can do is keep playing some good footy either in Hawke’s Bay or somewhere else. Opportunities will always come and go in the sport of rugby, but when an opportunity comes up I’ll definitely take a shot.
What advice would give to young rugby enthusiasts?
I’m still learning about the game myself. But when someone does take time to give me advice about sport or life I’m an open-minded thinker in that sense. So, my advice would be to be like a sponge and soak up the knowledge of a coach or other players trying to give you advice. Always grind as well – NEVER STOP THE MAHI!
What has kept you going, regarding your sporting endeavours?
My competitive nature has always kept me going, as I hate losing. Having fun with a good bunch of people makes it easier to turn up to trainings, games and events. Making people proud of where I come from and also proving the people wrong who believed I couldn’t do things makes doing the mahi easier. Getting cool gear and going overseas has always been a bonus thing to work towards over the last couple years. - Keelan Heesterman

Get to Go Year 9 & 10
ADVENTURE RACE Mr Rafferty and Ms Gunn took two teams to the Hawke’s Bay edition of the Get2Go Adventure Race with the winners qualifying for the finals on Great Barrier Island. With two strong teams, Karamu was expecting to do well but would come up against the might of a very well drilled Taradale team. Taradale showed why they are reigning champions by powering away on the kayaking leg. However, Karamu came back into contention in the team building and puzzle activities. Taradales’ strength in orienteering would show on leg three and Karamu finally fell off the pace on the mountainbike leg. This proved invaluable experience for the students with many wanting to do more of this kind of Adventure Racing next year.

BIG DAY OUT 2018 February 2018 all Year 9 students attended the Big Day Out at Pakowhai dog park. The Big Day Out is set up for students to get to know who their class mates are and for teachers to find out the personalities of all the students in their form class. We did a whole heap of different activities to show our strengths within the environment, from abseiling to kayaking down the Pakowhai stream. The activities were all team-based meaning that all the students in the class were involved in helping their class succeed. The teachers were amazing and they set up an amazing day. I believe that the Big Day Out was a good day of bonding and I recommend it to everyone who is attending Karamu next year. My highlight of the day was being able to get to know the strengths of our class, and the skills that we learnt throughout the day. Ashleigh Gouldsmith

OUTWARD BOUND
Three of our Karamu High School students, Ben Randle, Isaac Hinton and Ereina Tonihi got to experience the opportunity of Outward bound in 2018. A big thanks to Mr. Wooster for arranging the opportunity for us.
Outward Bound has given me 3 weeks worth of experience which has given me a different perspective on life. Even though it has been 10 months since I attended OB,I still keep in good contact with the variety of different people I met on the course. On this journey I learnt a lot of life skills such as rock climbing, sailing, kayaking, tramping as well as social skills. I was encouraged to endure nature and to enjoy the absence of technology. Overall, I thought OB was an awesome experience, I would recommend this course to anyone! Ben Randle - Head Boy 2019
TENNIS For tennis this season we were very successful in the interschool competition. The boys team ran undefeated, coming out first in the grade, 16 points ahead of second place. The girls team also did well getting into the top plate and winning back to back, only losing a close match to the Central Hawkes Bay team and coming second overall. Next season we will be looking to move up both teams up a grade to extend our abilities and challenge us more. There may also be an upcoming in-school tournament planned for junior and senior champions. Sara Renall

TOUCH RUGBY 2018
- Junior Girls
2018 was a very successful year for the Karamu Junior Girls Touch team. This team has a bunch of representative players, and was fortunate enough to have been entered in both the Junior and Senior grades. The collective experience found in the Junior Girls team really showed throughout the season. The team was undefeated in all games in both the Senior and Junior Division. This is something that has never been done before. In the Junior Division, the team won eight games straight. This included their final against Iona College. The Senior grade was more of a challenge for the team, as they were facing very strong, determined Senior students. However, our team played strongly and went through to the final which was against Central Hawke’s Bay College. This game was awfully close at half time but Karamu pulled through and took out the Senior Title as well as the Junior Title. This is something that has never been achieved before. The team showed a great level of commitment and determination. All of the team members deserve an MVP award, however, special mention does go to Reiley Bartlett, Briah McGrail-Timms, Harmony Kautai, Leilani Williams and Holand Marsh. The team would like to honour and give a big thanks to Mr Anaru Bartlett for his coaching experience as well as Mr Crawford for his excellent management skills. Karamu is very proud of its Junior Girls Touch team. - Ethin Templeton

- Mixed Team Just like the Junior Girls, 2018 was a very successful year for the Karamu High School Mixed Touch team, which was very fortunate to be led by Sam Walton-Sexton (Year 13) and Cortez Te Pou (Year 12). The team was selected to represent the mighty Hawke’s Bay at the Regional Tournament held at Queen Elizabeth College in Palmerston North in the beginning of the year. Our Mixed team kicked off the tournament against Patea Area School with a 12 – 5 win. That was followed by a 5-all draw against the host school, Queen Elizabeth College. Thereafter, the young team struggled to stay in touch with the more experienced opposition. Some outstanding contributions from some Year 9 players were Reiley Bartlett and Briah McGrail-Timms. Previously mentioned Senior students Sam and Cortez, as well as Zac Brooker (Year 11) also showed their excellent ability. Entering 2019, our Mixed team will only lose one player. They are still looking forward to all of the challenges 2019 will throw at them, and will tackle them head-on!

The Karamu High School Mixed Touch team would also like to give a huge thanks to Mr Anaru Bartlett, as well as Mrs Kelly Brooker for their excellent guidance and management of the team at the Zone 4 regionals.

WAKA AMA Whakarehu J19 Girls Waka Ama Team
This year a girls waka ama team, Whakarehu, made up of students from Karamu High School representing Heretaunga Ararau Waka Ama club competed in the January 2019 National Sprint Club Championships held at Lake Karapiro. They contested the W6 1000m and 500m races in the J19 Girls Division. The team consisted of Amy Saunders, Michaela Edwards, Ashleigh Thorpe-Loversuch, Taylor Thorpe-Loversuch and Tia Lewis, all Karamu High School Year 13 students in 2018. Aleisha Barnes, the steerer for the team, a Year 13 Napier Girls High School student. The Karamu girls came from a canoe polo background but were novices, except for Michaela who had paddled at the 2018 nationals, when it came to waka ama. Aleisha was by far the most experienced paddler having a few nationals under her belt. Their canoe polo experiences definitely gave them a head start particularly in paddle technique and self-management in a tournament setting. The team started their campaign in mid-September 2018 and continued through the Christmas/New Year break. They trained on the water three days a week, each session lasting an hour or more with some additional off-the-water training included. They had a taster of what they could expect at the nationals, by racing in a lead up mini regatta in Masterton in which they placed 1st in the 1000m turns race and 1st in the 500m straight race. At the nationals they progressed through to the semi-finals of the 1000m turns race and made the finals in the 500m straight race. Given the relative inexperience of the team and the formidable challenge offered by the other 35 teams in this division, most of whom have been together for years, it was an achievement that exceeded all expectations. It was very clear from the start that these girls were extremely hard-working and committed to achieving success as a team. They have all the hallmarks of being a very good team and with more time, capable of beating the best. As their coach it was a challenging but enjoyable experience, their rapid progress individually and as a team being the highlight, as it showed their willingness to listen and learn. A special thanks goes to the following people. Sarah Thorpe who managed the team, surrogate mums Ms Gunn and Ms Glenny, sounding board Ian, Sue and Ngamata who filled in as steerers at practice when Aleisha couldn’t make it and Aimee Fisher who came to a couple of the trainings, boosting their confidence with her insights and enthusiasm.

WEIGHTS CLUB Hard work, encouragement, sweat, setting goals, support, repetitions, achieving credits, comradery, lifting, talking, gaining and having fun are some of the things that come to mind when we look back at 2018 in the Weights Room. It has been another great year where the students have made the most of their time to learn, interact and grow both physically and mentally. I would like to thank all the senior students who treated the room with respect and set the standard for the juniors to aspire to in terms of gym etiquette, training and working together. I look forward to doing it all again in 2019! Mr Noble

VOLLEYBALL For some, volleyball is a serious competitive sport to strengthen skills, for many, volleyball is a great social sport, making new friends which is fabulous as Karamu offers both. Most importantly, for many Year 13s, volleyball has been a fantastic experience and highlight in their high school journey. I myself have thoroughly enjoyed my volleyball journey, from playing with other quirky students, creating new connections with people outside of school, and discovering that it is my favourite sport. Someone who has reaped the benefits of volleyball is Khalael Uelese, who said: “This year, four senior teams competed in another amazing season of volleyball in Term One. Along with energetic junior teams in Term Four. As a student ref/coach, our school teams dominated the competitive stage with their endless support for each other and enthusiastic chants to maintain the zest within their teams. Our four senior teams supported one another and cheered each other to the point where our teams were considered one. The best thing about volleyball is players use their individual skills to accumulate to the overall success of the team. Such as when the team scores a point, everyone feels as if they played a role to the point. I’m glad to have been surrounded by such astounding individuals who all gathered together to play the sport I so dearly love.” We would like to thank all the coaches, coordinators and drivers who enabled us to participate in such a valued sport. We all appreciate the extra time and effort you put into ensuring that we had a great experience. Thank you to Miss Dawson, Ms Poirier and Mr Hollands also.

DIVERSITY GROUP A student lead group with the added support of Mr Cummins is run weekly as a support group for LGBTQ+ youth within the school. As well as organising any outside support the members may need (counselling, educational help), the group meets to provide a safe place of relaxation and understanding. Arts and crafts such as appreciation cards, drawing therapy, and sticker art were incorporated throughout the year to create a relaxed environment for some of the newer students. At the annual Blossom Day, the group came together to make a float (with the help of lots of friends and supporters who helped maintain the confidentiality of the members of the group). Encouraging self and peer acceptance, the goal of Diversity Club is to provide a welcoming space for anyone of the LGBTQ+ community, whether out, in the closet, or questioning. - Amber Flashoff
STUDENT COUNCIL 2018 saw the formation of Karamu High School’s first Student Council. Our aim this year was to trial and observe the mechanisms of the council’s presence, and what benefits it could bring to the students and school culture at Karamu. The council’s purpose as a group was to be open and collaborative within the student body by presenting new ideas for the school’s improvement, as well as problem-solving in regard to student well-being and issues, to help our school environment. Together we have produced ideas for the advancement of the class and school environment. We have also focused on a project specific to mental health and the discussion surrounding it this year. Currently, we are in the process of adding a park bench with the hope of representing everyone and ensure no one feels alone at Karamu High School. We as a council agree that students are undergoing a lot of pressure at a very delicate time of their lives and that it is essential that we take a step back or seat to acknowledge that students may need extra support or just a breather. Having the Student Council active this year has demonstrated how students of different year levels have connected to support and aid all the students at Karamu. The council is a forum for student voice and has encouraged many to come forward, state their opinions, and discuss issues with others more comfortably. It has become an asset to Karamu which has enabled many positive implications and definitely more to come in the future. The Student Councillors for 2018 were Daniel O’Connell (Year 9), Sascha MacDonald (Year 9), Keelan Heesterman (Year 10), Sophie Brookes (Year 10), Markis Walsh-Kingi (Year 11), Sarah Weaver (Year 11), Meg Ryan (Year 12), Ben Randle (Year 12), Shannon Minogue (Year 13), and Liam Robson (Year 13). The Chairperson for the Student Council was Sahibpreet Kaur (Year 13), who was also the Board of Trustees Student - Shannon Minogue

IRON MAORI
The Karamu staff again represented themselves at the annual Iron Maori. The largest group of teachers from any school, they swam the 2km, biked the 45km and ran the 10km with pride and pain. A big thanks to all the supporters and Mrs Tuika for again organising a great day.

MAYFAIR COMMUNITY DAY
On Sunday 4 March, the Mayfair Community organised a Community Day at the Bill Mathewson Park. This was in celebration of Children’s Day, an event to launch the community’s Masterplan, and also to encourage families to fill out their Census forms. This was an incredible initiative which Karamu was proud to support. Part of being ‘Proudly Hastings’ is getting out and involved within the community. So, a group of students gathered to help set up the event. They were set to work pitching the marquees, cooking sausages, and supervising children on the bouncy castles. It was great to see so many students actively engaging with their neighbours and community. We were also lucky to have Ruby Schmidt (Year 10) and Nick Palmer (Year 13) perform a few songs at the event. They both did a great job, and added to the vibrant atmosphere. The entire Community Day was a great success, and the organisers of the event were very impressed with Karamu’s enthusiasm with getting involved. - Cameron Young
HASTINGS YOUTH COUNCIL
The Hastings Youth Council is a division of the Hastings District Council solely focused on the needs of youth between 13 - 19years old. The Youth Council is entirely drawn from youth in our district, who are actively having an impact on issues that affect their peers. This year, we were so proud to have three of our students selected to be Hastings Youth Councillors – Abigail Masengi (Year 13), Hope McCleland (Year 12), and Cameron Young (Year 13). Cameron was also voted as the Deputy Chairman of the Youth Council for this year. These three students helped plan and organise events all year round, such as the annual ZEAL Paint Party, the charitable Colour Fun Run event, and the Potential Youth Awards which celebrate and acknowledge students in Hastings who are succeeding despite facing difficult hardships. The Youth Council were also excited to continue their Youth Grants Awards, which give the Hastings’ youth funding to achieve their goals. One of the recipients of these Youth Grants was Year 13 students, Tyla-Rose Halton. Abigail and Cameron were among a few Youth Councillors who were selected to go to Wellington for the Festival for the Future Conference. This conference focused on leadership, issues which will have an impact on our future, and had inspirational speakers. Whilst running their own events, the Youth Council have been involved with Sport Hawke’s Bay, who launched a development initiative to improve activity in Hawke’s Bay. This has been a busy and very productive year for the Hastings Youth Council, and it has been great to see so many Karamu students involved with them in one way or another. We hope that more Karamu students apply for this awesome opportunity next year – to step up, and have their voice heard! - Abigail Masengi

The Academic Institute has continued this year to provide events for members who gain an Excellence Endorsement at Level One or Level Two. It’s key roles: to acknowledge and celebrate outstanding academic achievement and encourage and support further academic achievement. These were met through four events: Term 1: A lunch launch, followed by a visit to the Hawkes Bay Business Hub. The rationale was to expose students to several highly successful companies, showcasing many aspects of entrepreneurial success including marketing, management, leadership and innovation within one location. While touring the site key personnel presented the diverse skill set/career opportunities available. Term 2: A breakfast event with guest speaker Wayne Norrie, current Director for NZ Trade and Enterprise, Chairman of the
Hi Tech Trust, Furnware and Sportsground. Wayne bought interesting dialogue around Technology Mega trends and how they are impacting our world. Term 3: Another Breakfast occasion with Alumni (Head Boy, Proxime Accessit and Sportsman of the Year) Ben Taylor, current coach of our First XI Hockey side and son of history teacher and Year 11 Dean, Mrs Tracy Taylor. Ben left Karamu High School in 2012 to pursue Law & Economics at the University of Otago. He strengthened our current philosophy of following your passions and ensuring we keep a balance of study, exercise and community work. Term 4: Lunch at school with Mr Shane Gorst. Former CEO of Make-A-Wish NZ, General Manager of Art Deco Trust and current General Manager at Totara Health. A timely focus on time and stress management.

THE ARTS DRAMA
Drama is serious fun. Although many students were involved with our school show, Little Shop of Horrors, drama students were able to engage with and enjoy drama through many other opportunities this year. In May, Karamu’s Improvisation Club organizer, Amy Griffiths invited Theatre Specialists Kristyl Neho and Puti Lancaster to run workshops for some very keen improvisers. The students had great fun and learned valuable skills.
an assessment opportunity as part of their NCEA course. It is high stakes to perform in front of an audience, especially family and peers. They did really well.
A group of students were invited to perform a short War-time sketch at Sommerset in the Orchard as an introduction to their ‘Warbirds’ themed commemoration in July. The audience were enthusiastic in their response to our students’ presentation.
A very enthusiastic group ranging from year 9 to 13 took part in the Hawke’s Bay 48 hour ‘Dare to Devise’ drama challenge, held over two days in September. Their piece ‘Friends not Food’ was performed at Havelock North High School proving Karamu students are brave and creative and that Drama is serious, and seriously fun!
Our Level 1/2 Drama class also presented to an audience of family and friends in July this year. The play, ‘The Exam’, formed
DANCE
In preparation for Dance Scholarship, our Dance students attended a workshop in Upper Hutt. We stayed in a lovely rural property overnight and attended the workshop at Upper Hutt College the following day. The workshop was extremely valuable. It helped the students gain understanding of the senior choreography achievement standard requirements and what is needed to successfully prepare for scholarship. We hope there will be another one next year. Some students attended a wonderful performance by the Atamira Dance Company at Napier Municipal Theatre. The performance “Pango” was choreographed by Moss Patterson. The level 1 students study this choreographer. So we were really fortunate to be able to see one of his performances live and also hear him speaking about it. The students were easily able to interpret the ideas and themes of the dance. It was a brilliant evening. Performance Assessment Evenings in Term 1 and 2 were held for dancers from Year 10 – 13 performed for family and friends. Performing dance in front of an audience was a new experience for many of the students and they did so well. It was particularly heartening to see the students performing their own choreography. On Open Evening, our students braved the cold to perform on the circle. Level 1 students Mekhi White, Willow Kohi, Amy Griffin and Tegan Wroe performed their very clever choreography “Kowhaiwhai” and Amy Griffin and Sarah Weaver performed their beautiful choreography duo. Beverley Hussey went beyond the call of duty, performing her solo choreography many times!

After many weeks of hard work, the Senior Drama class showcased their talents at a performance of ‘Find Me’ to family and friends on Friday 14th September. “Intimate and intense, with heartfelt performances” is how Mrs van Rijk described the performance.
The senior Dance students performed with star quality and pizazz in this year’s show, Little Shop of Horrors. They were a bright and polished addition to this year’s fabulous show. Arts Faculty Evening was another performance opportunity. The Level 1 Kowhaiwhai dance was performed to a very high standard and Sarah Weaver came to the rescue at short notice. Level 3 dancers, Emily Coppell and Jaime Mossman, performed their Dance NZ Made Duo and Hannah Norfolk and Emily Coppell performed a lively and energetic Indian dance. We will miss our Year 13s, their humour, energy and talent and wish them well in their futures. Karamu dancers won a place to go to Nationals in Palmerston North at the Dance NZ Made Regionals at the Napier Municipal Theatre in August. The contemporary Year 11 – 13 group performed ‘Restless Nights’, a tribute to friends lost last year. Our Karamu group won regional overall champions in the Senior Division. Emily Coppell and Jaime Mossman also won a Choreography Award. Amy Griffin and Maia Bassett both performed solos and won their Divisions at regional level. The dancers then performed at the Nationals in September. Karamu performed against many talented teams and our dancers put their hearts into their performances. Emily Coppell and Jaime Mossman also performed a strong duet with amazing presence. Not only should all the girls be commended for their hard work, but thanks must go to the supportive families and teachers who made this happen. Congratulations again to the girls, you all worked very hard and have a huge amount of effort and time to the competition.
THEATRE TECHNOLOGY It was an interesting year for Theatre Technology with the school show, Little Shop of Horrors, offering an opportunity for Maja Sanders to design and construct some of the set. We also took a trip to see Kororareka: the Ballad of Maggie Flynn, a devised performance about women in early settlers’ times in NZ. The cast of five actors all played multiple characters.
We were particularly interested in the way they used unusual objects, like balloons, as props and how the lighting was used to create space, place and mood. We wound up our year by designing and constructing minisets for the Arts Evening – two different scenes from the show Hairspray.
VISUAL ARTS At the beginning of term 2 the Visual Arts department was delighted with the finished renovation of the decking outside our rooms. The layout of the rooms has changed slightly, and the deck has been a very welcome addition with classes taking full advantage of it. Photography, Design, Sculpture, Painting, Printmaking With 236 submitted Portfolios this year from levels 1 to 3, this was our biggest year, yet. The Portfolios ranged, from Art, Digital art, Painting, Design, Photography to Printmaking and Sculpture. Students had just under two terms to complete their Portfolios which showcased a range of techniques and development toward a final work. It was fantastic to see the majority of these Portfolios displayed at the Karamu High School Annual Arts Evening 24th October. There was a great
turn out of friends and whanau that night to celebrate the student’s efforts. Other highlights in the year was the Photography camp at the beginning of the year. Once again, a fantastic trip enjoyed by the three Level 2 Photography classes. The Level 3 painting students produced a large scale painting at the beginning of the year as part of their course programme. These works were displayed in the staff-room and school library for all to enjoy. In mid-August the majority of Level 2 students from all art disciplines, submitted a work for the Hastings’ Schools’ Art Exhibition held at the Hastings Community Art Centre. There was a great turn out of Karamu students and their whanau and Hastings Laau and Briar Fraser each won the prize in their category.
MEDIA STUDIES Senior Media Studies tour of Wellywood! A highlight was attending the opening night of the International Film Festival in Wellington at the Embassy. As well as two other films, we visited Weta Workshop and had a session with a screenplay writer and director. We toured the new tertiary arts facility Te Auaha and had a really good look around the city too.
Junior Media. Year 9 made animated stop-motion films, designed film posters and learned to close read film. Year 10 made documentary films on topics as diverse as coping with negative emotions, to new New Zealanders experiences of NZ to why anyone likes gaming. And one doco about why Karamu is a great school.
Senior films this year were again fantastic. A number of hilarious and expertly made films again setting a high standard for next year’s seniors to meet, or beat. The Michael Jackson Effect – directed by Mitchell Raison and Sam Bailey – was fluent, coherent and very funny. Lian Hontalba and Ereina Tonihi produced Roommates, a quirky, quality comedy.

HAWKE’S BAY ARTS FESTIVAL AMBASSADORS PROGRAMME The Ambassadors Programme is a part of the Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival which allows youth in the region to interact with artists, and let their own creativity grow. This group is led by Daniel Betty, Iona’s drama teacher, and Puti Lancaster, a Toi Whakaari graduate and theatre director. The Ambassadors are selected through an audition process, and Karamu was proud to have another student selected to be an Ambassador this year. The following is Georgia Goodsell’s (Year 12) perspective on this experience: “The Festival went from the 15 to 28 October, and our performance was on the 20 October. For our performance we had the theme of ‘Our Earth, Our Water, Our Selves’, and we created it based on our opinions of the world and where we belong in it, what we wanted to say. We started off earlier in the year with an intensive week of workshopping and creating, and at the end of that week we had a small performance to show our families. However, after that we started working on something completely new for the Arts Festival, but also taking elements from what we learnt in the intensive week and putting it in to the performance we were now creating. “At first, the Ambassadors didn’t really know what we were doing, as we were just doing random activities that we thought didn’t have anything to do with our performance. But we just had to trust the directors, Dan and Puti, and eventually those random activities were ideas for our performance. On the day of our performance we actually changed the last bit of our piece and we were worried that it wouldn’t work. But, when we performed it, it worked really well. “I learnt a lot about the arts industry, like all about creating the shows and the effort that goes in to making everything work.
Also, I learnt how they made the Arts Festival work, and also new ways of theatre and presentation. I usually do scripted theatre, where it’s just learning lines that are given to me, or school drama where you will have to stick to an achievement standard. However, this was so different! It was entirely our own and we could create it exactly how we wanted to – not sticking to scripts or theorists or rules. We could say and do anything we wanted! I am so grateful for this opportunity, and truly feel as though my perspective on the arts and creative industries have changed. “My favourite workshop was when we went into the gym and we pretended to be earth, water, and air. We had to forget about our self-doubts and worries of judgement and just prance around the space, in our own bubbles. The greatest lesson I learnt during this Programme was that while we are small people in this world – small compared to the bigger picture – our voices and opinions still matter. We need to let go of doubts and worries, because the only thing holding us back from ever achieving something is ourselves. It sounds pretty clichéd, but it’s true!” Each year the Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival brings untold talent to our region. It is a fantastic way to experience professional theatre in our own backyard, while not having to pay a fortune or travel overseas. Daniel and Puti are doing great work by including youth in behind-the-scenes tours and workshops. They are growing an appreciation for theatre and arts in Hawke’s Bay, and showing that there are always opportunities for creative, theatrical minds in Aotearoa. - Cameron Young
IMPROVISATION CLUB 2018 saw a big population boost for the Improv Club, with many fresh faces joining this year. A majority of these fresh faces were new, little and bubbly Year 9’s who brought a different approach to what improv at Karamu looks like. 2018 also saw the return of some familiar faces to Improv club, with members spanning from Years 10 - 12 returning for another year. With a new year came fresh leadership, with Performing Arts Leader, Amy Griffiths (Year 13), taking the helm. Amy brought fresh ideas, games and a sense of comedy that was a hit with the improv students. Improv Club was lucky enough to attend workshops from former Toi Whakaari students Kristyl Neho, Manuel Solomon and Puti Lancaster. Attending these workshops was for the committed, those willing to come in to school on Saturday 26 May. These students benefitted from the workshops, learning a range of different games, how to use
108
your voice effectively and how to build confidence as well as a story line while improvising. 2018 also saw the Improv Club compete in more competitions than last year. This year, improv students competed in the inaugural ‘Dare to Devise’ challenge. This competition was held on the 14 September through to 16 and was the Live Theatre version of the 48-hour film challenge. In 48 hours, our team had to create a skit containing many variables, such as a particular line, a certain setting or a prop. Although Karamu didn’t win the competition, we won best teamwork on stage. Junior improv students also attended the interschool Improv Battles at Napier Girls High on 21 November. Karamu has entered this competition annually for the past couple of years, and we always do a fantastic job.
ARTS EVENING
DRAMA
A highlight of the year is when the students of Karamu get together to produce a variety show of all the arts. Music, drama, art, media, dance, Maori performing arts and theatre technology are all included – not to mention the variety of other after school choirs, cultural groups and solo projects asked to perform for friends and family. It’s always a great night and this year was no exception. The evening opened by allowing guests to browse Level One, Two and Three Art/Photography Boards and view media films. It was a showcase of the amazing artistic talent at Karamu. You could also spot Corny Collins next to the theatre technology students, who had transformed students into the characters of the musical ‘Hairspray’. At 6:00pm sharp the audience rushed to their seats for the performance section of the evening. All the acts were amazing! Some of my personal highlights include a Level Three traditional Indian dance, Amy Griffith’s solo drama piece, and Tia Ward’s performance of her original song. An excellent rendition of a Level One melodrama took place with comedic (delicious) baguettes. The diversity of Pasifika and Maori performing arts followed. And last, but not least, Karamu Chorus’ rendition of ‘One Day More’ wrapped up the Art’s Evening. Luckily there were few malfunctions, and all in all it was an amazing night! A big thanks must go to all the teachers in the Karamu Art’s Faculty for giving the students this opportunity to showcase their art. Thank you also to everyone else who contributed to the evening! - Jessica Shoemark

SOCIAL SCIENCES SOCIAL STUDIES All year 9 students were provided with the opportunity to visit the Napier Aquarium and MTG as part of their study of the Savage Earth Topic specifically looking at the 1931 Napier Earthquake. At the Aquarium, students had a hands on opportunity to create a tsunami in the tsunami tank, cause liquefaction and watch the effects on model cars and build and create both faulting and folding models showing what happens in the crust when an earthquake occurs. At the MTG students visited the 1931 Earthquake gallery filled with preserved items from this day and had a walking tour of the nearby streets and Soundshell area to look at the new Art Deco buildings that were constructed in the rebuild of Napier. During term 3, a small group of students from Year 10 participated in the first ever Hawke’s Bay Model United Nations Conference held at Iona College. Students were assigned a state to represent and a simulation resolution on the subject of Indigenous Rights to discuss, debate, and amend. It was a fun, rewarding day where students developed leadership and critical thinking skills in a positive and supportive environment.

BUSINESS STUDIES It has been a phenomenally busy year in the Business Studies programme in 2018 with so many things happening. In our Junior programme we have seen a huge growth in students taking the subject in Year 9 and 10, with the Year 10 taking part in the BP Business Challenge at the end of Term 2. This was a huge success with students immersed in all things business for 3 days and having to present to Judges at the end of their time. Our senior programme goes from strength to strength with a wonderful display of marketing from the teams involved in the Level 1 Market Day. This was a great foundation for any student taking the Young Enterprise Programme at Level 2 & 3, and showed excellent entrepreneurial spirit from the teams.
Our Year 12 & 13 were again involved with the Young Enterprise Scheme, with some great products. They showcased their wares at the Hawkes Bay Farmers Market and Napier Urban Market, as well as seeing several of them starting to use online platforms to sell, which we will see more of over the next few years. The Year 12 & 13 students also got to go to Kaikoura to do a research project on the Whale Watch Kaikoura which they where then able to use within their studies.
GEOGRAPHY 2018 saw another year of learning outside the classroom opportunities for the Geography classes to learn about both natural and cultural processes. The Level Three Geography class travelled to Auckland from Thursday 24th – Saturday 26th May to visit Muriwai Beach as part of work on Coastal Processes. Whilst at the beach for the day students carried out data collection for a Research Assessment worth 5 credits. Data collected included profile
116
measurements for slope gradients, testing for longshore drift (current direction) and saltation (wind movement) as well as observations and close up inspections of the cliffs, arch, headland and stack, shore platform and extensive dune system. Ex-student and 2017 Dux Bethany Cox who is studying Geography at Auckland University came along to support the students for the day. The Year 12 students had a great experience attending a
lecture at the Hastings District Council and then flying across the Bay in small 4 seater planes from the Hawkes Bay Aero Club. This was to study urban landscape patterns and change in Hastings. On Friday June 1st, the Level One Geographers also took to the coast, this time a little closer to home starting out at Clifton and working their way round to Awatoto, Marine Parade and finally Westshore to investigate natural and cultural factors that affect the appearance of the coast.

JAPAN TRIP 2018 In September this year, a group of students from the Maori and Japanese classes travelled to Japan, the land of the rising sun. We were led by Ms Veen, Whaea Pene, Matua Leon, and later joined by Ms Gunn. With these amazing adults, we had an action-packed adventure which we will never forget. The plane stopped in Hong Kong on the way over, and in Japan we visited the cities of Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Kobe and Tokyo, as well as a few small places. Each city had different traits and traditions, and it was incredible to experience the spectrum of the Japanese culture. The most memorable part of the trip had to be our homestay in Kobe, where all students were assigned with a host family from Kobe Noda School. We were welcomed by the students with pieces of paper with our names and endless smiles, hugs and greetings from the family that we would stay with for the next week. The majority of the students agreed that this was a life-changing experience, to see how a family on the other side of the world lived. It was an incredible insight into a foreign culture, but it taught us all to think openly and be brave. Although this was a trip, it was no holiday! We had to spend the week of our homestay at Kobe Noda School, in the classes with our host students. We experienced four days of intense school, from 8:30am to 4:30pm (or sometimes 5:30pm), with only one lunch break. A day will usually consist of 7 or 8 periods, which is so crazy! At the school, we bonded with our current students as well as those who will come to Karamu next year on an exchange. We did, however, do fun things at school; making bath bombs in Chemistry, learning a famous Japanese song in Music and learning to use the abacus in Maths. But the best was outside of school learning; shopping at a Japanese supermarket in Japanese for our cooking class and making our own noodles at the Nissen Noodle Cup Museum. It was sad to say goodbye to all the friends we had made, and to the generous families who had hosted us. The true highlight of the trip had to be going to the Hiroshima Peace Park Dome. Unfortunately, it was raining hard so we didn’t really get good photos of the dome, but we did spend a long time in the museum and memorial. We walked around the exhibitions displaying tragic photos, damaged artefacts, and listened to sad facts on an audio tour guide. The atmosphere was very melancholy. The saddest part of the tour was listening to testimonies of the survivors. It was a reflective time for us to commemorate those who passed away from the atomic bombing in World War II. Another favourite place we went to is Miyajima, a small island. A little isolated island full of wild roaming deer, endless tempting souvenir shops and the famous red Great Torii Gates. There was a lot to see from tall pagodas, a huge aquarium and priests performing chants and prayers. Fantastic memories include riding the famous Yamanotte circle line, visiting iconic places such as the famous Shibuya crossing, Harajuku and Akihabara. Shopping and food galore! The trip to Japan was an incredible experience, and all the students are so grateful to the school for organising such a fantastic opportunity. This was a life-changing experience, and I know that so many of us are already looking forward to the next time we visit Japan. Thank you again to the teachers who put up with us for the three weeks – you are champions, and taught us about courage and independence! - Abigail Masengi

SCIENCE FACULTY REPORT It has been an inspiring and eventful year for the Science Department. Our students have excelled in and out of the classroom. Staff have been busy updating our courses and developing digital resources. We have continued to work closely with local employers and tertiary institutions. Both our Junior and Senior students once again attended the Hawkes Bay Science Fair, with Gabriel Barlow (Y9) picking up a Highly Commended from the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand, for his “Quake, Rattle and Roll� earthquakes project. The department also hosted the Science Fair quiz night, with our principal Michael Leitch, capably comparing the event.
and Sonya Sedgwick, from the Hawkes Bay Regional Council
Environmental Education Unit, helped the students carry out water sampling and testing. The students could then chose to carry out an inquiry based project focusing on protecting and sustaining the estuary environment.

continue next year, with the emphasis on cultivating the soft
