FROM THE EDITOR: It has been another busy year.

Once again it has been hard to find space for all the accomplishments, photos and articles that have been submitted for this years magazine.

But it has all managed to squeeze in.

Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed compiling it.

This is my last edition as editor and publisher. I have enjoyed the challenge but will move onto other things next year.

Hope everyone has a great holiday. Farewell to those leaving us, and hope to see the rest of you featured in next years issue.

An example what can be achieved is shown by Mele Tupueluelu who was awarded a place in the Youth Leadership Programme Australasia.

The programme will employ a highly interactive approach both in workshops and in a range of public and community settings where students will learn leadership skills and gain new perspectives on environmental issues.

The three week programme from 30 November – 23 December 2014 sees Mele travel to the United States and is fully funded by the United States Government. Mele was selected from a strong field and joins nine students and one adult mentor to join an equal representation from Australia.

As a school we can be very proud of these successes. It is a result of hard work from staff parents and students.

There has also been considerable input from the community for which the school is very grateful.

Manurewa High School is developing a reputation as a school in which students achieve. This positive attitude and proven success has resulted in significant national recognition

•The Ministry of Eduction has allocated over $3 million for the building of a Business Academy which will give a focus to the enterprise and innovative activities in the school. It will provide a solid link with the business schools at Universities and Tertiary institutions throughout New Zealand •The school has been selected as one of 5 school’s into the Microsoft IT Academy in New Zealand for 2015. This will give us access to many resources to improve the teaching and learning of our students.

•The appointment of Daniel Wilson as Principal of Nayland College in Nelson Thank you to Adele Whittaker who has been the editor of this magazine for six years and has worked hard to produce a consistently high quality magazine.

IN MEMORIAM

C O L I N B R O W N E : 1 9 1 9 - 20 1 4 PA S T P R I N C I PA L When Colin Browne arrived at Manurewa High as First Assistant (Deputy Principal) in 1963 the foundation students were in their 6th form (Year 12) year. The school roll was about 650. When he retired as Principal in 1981 the roll was over 1200 and the school was celebrating its 21st birthday. Colin became Principal in 1974 when foundation Principal Alex Maich retired. His appointment as Principal was greeted with cheering at the staff meeting where it was announced and in the Assembly where the school got to hear of it.

Colin’s caring personality was illustrated by his training as a specialist in teaching deaf children was teaching deaf children in school with many blind students. He taught in several primary schools before World War II, then did war service in the Pacific Islands. After the war he continued with his primary teaching career until he was appointed Careers Advisor at Otahuhu College, from which position he was appointed First Assistant at Manurewa High.

One of his pet projects as Principal was the building of the Pavilion which bears his name. Colin was a keen gardener and supporter of outdoor education. Many of the trees beautifying the school grounds were planted during his time, and photographs in the school magazine during those years show him turning earth with a spade, watching sports teams play, and joining school walkathons which raised money for school projects. When the Outdoor Education Centre was built at Waharau Colin was an enthusiastic promoter of the venture at Manurewa High.

His outdoor interests were highlighted by a lifetime involvement with the Scouting Movement and his promotion of Totara Park as a public space for Manurewa families to relax.

Colin’s interest in Manurewa High School continued long after his retirement. He was present at Senior Prizegivings until very recently and took an active role in the school’s 21st,

25th, 40th and 50th Anniversaries.

Until a few months before his passing on 31 July he lived in the modest Marr Road house he had occupied with his wife and family during his years in school leadership.

Above all Colin will be remembered as a modest, hard-working, communityminded person who built on the groundwork laid down at Manurewa High in its formative years.

STAFF FAREWELLS

MR DANIEL WILSON

Daniel Wilson has a long association with Manurewa High School, starting with the school in 1999 and progressing through from a first year music teacher to Dean and Assistant Head of Department. Mr. Wilson then had a period of time teaching as a Head of Department in England before taking up the position of Head of Performing Arts, Whanau Leader and NCEA Liaison Officer at Alfriston College. He returned to Manurewa High School in 2007 as Deputy Principal and was appointed Associate Principal in 2012.

Daniel departs Manurewa High School after eight years to take up a position as principal of Nayland College in Nelson. During his time at Manurewa High School Daniel has helped oversee a school transformation project that has resulted in significant increases to learning and engagement. Several key innovations that Mr. Wilson has led have contributed to the improvements across the board, including the school achievement strategy and academic counselling programme, many new curriculum and pathway developments, leadership of the school integrated digital technology strategy, homeschool partnership programmes, a re-

branding and values project in conjunction with the local community and staff professional learning and appraisal programmes, to name just a few. Daniel has also taken a keen interest in the music and performing arts during his time in senior leadership at the school; organising music tours to Australia and Hawaii and supporting numerous concerts and productions.

Daniel is looking forward to the challenge of his promotion to principalship and a change in lifestyle as he moves to Nelson with his wife and two young daughters.

MRS FIONA HERBERT

“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end…”

Leaving MHS after 6 years is going to be hard, but when I looked at the REWA values and see “Be aware of what you can be” and “Be adventurous and take risks in your learning” I realised it was time to try something new. There have been so many positive moments, and seeing and celebrating the successes of MHS students is something I will miss. To 10AHB, you have grown immensely over the last 2 years, and as you head into the senior school you can hold your heads high.

Go on and dream big, focus on your goals and do everything you can to reach them. Remember- “it’s not who you are that holds you back- it’s who you think you are not!”

MR STEVE MENDOZA MRS CHERIE To the Board and Everyone at Manurewa High School KENNEDY For the past five years, Manurewa has been my home; my whanau and my life. Arriving here from the England in the UK was a big step for my family but we wanted a new life which offered peace, tranquility and a reminder that life need not be a stressful and selfish way to survive – and we have not been disappointed.

The approach to life here is different in so many ways and in particular how much everyone in our school community tirelessly support each other each and every day. So many give so much and in the short time I have been here so much has changed to make things better for our students and their whanaus. I heard some worrying stories about South Auckland back in England but none of which was true and living here was a joy. The way in which cultural groups enthusiastically and successfully celebrate their identity is a wonder to be seen and I have greatly enjoyed the Polyfest, and other events.

Whilst I start my job at another school, I will always have my eye on Manurewa High and look forward to it’s continued success. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful experience of life as a school teacher and a resident of a rugby-crazy proud country.

MS BETH CUIZON

Back in 2010 during the Year Nine Powhiri, we saw this new crazy. Asian looking teacher with a weird accent who also looked like a Kung Fu Master who scared us to death! It was only later that we dared to approach where we found she was in fact a Kung Fu. Master, though not at all scary.

Beth Cuizon has been a true inspiration to us these past five years.

She has played a massive role in the successs of not only our concert band but the kids who have had the privilege to be taught be her. She brought over from Hawaii new teaching styles that has definitely shaped and improved our learning.

We’ve enjoyed these past years with her, cracking jokes, listening to trance music and collecting soft toys, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to go through high school with.

Thank you Cuizon for everything you have done and tried to do for us. We appreciate all the hard work and commitment you have shown not only to us as a collective but each of us individually, you’ve played a massive part in our lives and definitely won’t be forgotten, especially your odd sense of humour.

Even though you are leaving us *sob sob* we are happy that you will be happy where you are going next. Honestly, we will miss you like crazy! Thank you so much for persevering and putting up with us. WE LOVE YOU CUIZON!!!!

Love from. Mickey, Benny, Hardy, Dormy, Tessy, Becky and Daynany

Well Rewa, it’s been a wild ride! In 2007, I began at Manurewa High School as a first year English teacher, thinking I was here to teach you guys, but really - it was you who gave me an education.

You taught me perseverance, resilience and the importance of being genuine. You challenged my ideas of what it meant to be a good teacher - that puting time and energy into forming relationships was far more effective than power struggles. You forced me to re-evaluate how I measured success, as I soon realised learning was a process, not a grade.

In 2009, I took over as Head of Media Studies and over the years the school has allowed me to grow the department and teach what I am passionate about every day. I will leave with colleagues who I now call friends and a lifetime of memories of students who have forever changed me for the better.

It’s been an honour mourning your losses, celebrating your successes and being a part of the Rewa family for the past 8 years, but now it’s time to focus on my own family.

Don’t ever be a stranger guys. REWA HARD! Much love, Mrs Kennedy

HEAD PREFECTS

When we were younger, we never thought this time would come, finishing primary let alone high school! And yet here we are, done and dusted!

Throughout our high schooling years we have been told constantly that “It’s not where you start, but where you finish that counts” and it’s so true. We all have to find that extra bit of strength to keep going, to prove that we have learnt from our mistakes and found a better way forward; to strive for that excellence that our school has fought so hard to reach. During our five years at Manurewa High we’ve seen how people who had a bit of a rocky start to school have managed to pull their act together by the end of their 5 years and make a better way for themselves.

Here, it’s how they have finished that’s counted; it’s where they’ve finished and it’s how they’ve used their mistakes to change and make the most out of some of the best years of our lives, to finish strong.

Over the past few years we’ve had a chance to explore the many opportunities presented to the students of Manurewa High in the many different facets of our school. We have been able to represent our school nationally, even internationally with sport, music, in fact all of the arts, and academic subjects.

We’ve been given a huge playing field on which to tests our passions and are extremely grateful for those chances.

It has been an honour to serve our school and community as Manurewa High School’s 2014 Head Prefects. At the beginning of the year, as a prefect team, we went on camp to bond and prepare us for the year ahead. The opportunity for us to go away with this neat bunch of people got us excited to work with them and to undergo the responsibilities of being Head Prefects. This year we have had the chance to represent our school at local community events such as the ANZAC and Armistice Day Parades, national competitions and lead our fantastic group of prefects that we so closely bonded with. It has been an absolute privilege to build and further the relationships with our fellow students and the amazing staff who have been

constant examples of good role models and great human beings! Without your love, patience and support over these past five years, this year especially, I don’t know where we’d be.

What is ‘the last word’ without a few thanks you’s?

First of all, to our amazing prefect team; thank you for sticking by us and putting up with our craziness! Thank you for your support and commitment this year. We did it! Remember, as Whaia says, lead all day every day.

Thank you to Senior Leadership and Miss Thomas (aka. Mama Thomo), we can’t thank you enough for all the hard work you put into our prefect team; all the different forms of encouragement (food included) and words of wisdom, you made this year just that little bit easier.

And finally to the whanau of 2014, and we say whanau because that’s what we have become. To those of us left, congratulations! We successfully made it to year 13! We are so proud of you all! Thank you for the young adults you’ve all become, for the memories we’ve made and even those we’d wish to forget; much aroha to you all and all the best for the years ahead.

As we leave the safety of Manurewa High for the last time, we leave knowing that we’ve left the school in capable

hands. Lupe and Erin, all the best, we know that the two of you will continue to grow in yourselves and be a shining example of the ‘REWA WAY’, inspiring our future leaders coming through those green gates. Stick together, Kia Kaha, stay humble and remember, you can’t do it all on your own no matter what you may think; trust in your prefects and all of those there to support you. We wish you all the best for the years ahead.

As we begin this next chapter in our lives, not leaving MH behind but rather turning the page, we will never forget what this school; this family, has done for us. The memories it’s given us and the values that we now have etched into our minds. Thank you. To all of our whanau at Manurewa High, we wish you all the very best with whatever is to come, may you carry the confidence and faith in yourself to get to wherever it is you want to go.

We are proud to have been a part of this long tradition of excellence at Manurewa High School and we will be proud to carry on this tradition when we leave. We hold you all close to our hearts. All the best.

SCHOOL SUCCESS

BLACK BULB CO. YOUNG ENTERPRISE SUCCESS

“Everyone can arise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do.”

Challenging, emotional, exciting, inspiring are just some of the words used to describe this year for Black Bulb Co, a company who participated in the Lions Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme. At the very beginning of the year figuring out the right product was a struggle. Months passed by and we still have no definite product. We were on the verge of giving up but we knew that we couldn’t possibly do that because Dragons Den preliminary heats were happening in less than 2 weeks! We only figured out then what our product (Black Garlic Aioli) was. We spent after school hours and gave up our weekends just so we could perfect our business pitch. It was all worthwhile as we placed FIRST in the Finals.

Our Product launch took place at the Auckland Food Show. Prior to the event we spent tireless nights, afterschool and even weekends debulbing approximately 350 cloves of black garlic to produce our premium product. We also had the opportunity to meet some famous chefs, Simon Gault, Masterchef Winners Karena and Kasey, Annabelle White, Nadia Lim, to name a few. Another highlight was the opportunity we took to be have a stall at the very first Great NZ Food Show in Hamilton.

The Auckland South Regional Awards were held at the Villa Maria Estate, where we won the following awards: High Growth Potential Award, Highly Commended for Social Media and Business Management, Highly Commended Company of the year and I was fortunate to have won Entrepreneur of the year.

We were also successful in being chosen for Venture Up. It is a startup business accelerator programme for YES alumni. It is six weeks long and designed to supercharge our business venture and our entrepreneurial skillset over that time. The programme was

open to any alumni aged 17-25, and will be held in Wellington from 12 January to 20 February 2015. 30 individuals were chosen throughout New Zealand.

We were the only full team that were chosen. That shows that the judges believed in the future potential of our business.

Behind all our successes were people who believed and supported us in our Young Enterprise journey; our business mentors and specialist chefs- Eugene Hamilton and Borin Kim, Mr Muir, Mr Vega, Mr Gargiulo and staff of MHS, The Pacific Business Trust, Regional Coordinator Claudine Murray, and our families. A special acknowledgement goes to our Business Studies teacher Ms Emma O’ Riordan for continuously dedicating her time and effort to support us every step of the way. She has given up so much of her time just to ensure that we know what to do. She is truly one awesome hardworking teacher who deserves to be commended for what she has done.

One thing she has taught us this year is to ‘be Doers not just talkers’ and ‘to seize every opportunity’.

This year I have been blessed with a motivated and dedicated team. Their professionalism and willingness to take on the completion of tasks beyond their

comfort zones was impressive. Despite all the troubles and frustrations, it was worthwhile because we have learnt valuable knowledge and skills that we will surely make use of in our later years of life. We have become young confident entrepreneurs who are proud of what we have accomplished.

We are very proud to be part of this outstanding success. One day we will look back at how far we have come and remember those who have pushed us to our limits and made us become the best of ourselves. We wanted to prove to people that we are capable of exceeding people’s expectations. As long as our passion lives, nothing can stop us from truly reaching what we aspire to be and do.

The student with the ‘Million Dollar Smile’ won Manurewa High School the award for ‘best performance on and off-stage’ at this year’s Trash 2 Fashion Awards, run by Auckland Council in partnership with the Keep Waitakere Beautiful Trust, and held at Corban’s Estate in Henderson.

For the first time, this year’s Trash to Fashion event extended an invitation to schools from South Auckland. After running a successful Trash2Fashion art unit for the Year 9 students in the first half of the year, the art department from Manurewa High School decided to throw their hat in the ring and compete in the ‘Perfectly Pasifika’ category against some experienced and serious competition from schools all over Auckland.

Thinking outside the square to produce an innovative garment from rubbish proved a tough task for the year nine students. The school competition required garments produced only from waste, using no toxic products such as glue, tape or staples. The students had to produce an extensive documented

portfolio including drawings and photographs, and a complete garment (head to toe). Some fantastic garments evolved, and one group of students had produced a work so impressive it was entered into Auckland Council’s Trash2Fashion competition.

1600 entries were submitted to the competition, of which 467 registered and committed to two intense weekends of rehearsals, plus three shows and an awards event. 117 were then chosen to compete at the Mangere Arts Centre semi-finals.

Manurewa High School’s garment, made from plastic bags, rope and newspaper, was designed by Sonatne Kaufusi, Charlie Thach, Jak Richards, Grace Neru and Leli Kaifoto. Sonatne was the designated model, and he clearly took his role to heart! Judges at the Trash2Fashion event named him the contestant with the “million dollar smile”, and Sonatne’s pride and fantastic attitude earned Manurewa High School the ‘Best Performance On and Off Stage’ award. Sonatne was a hugely popular contestant, making

friends with all the other students involved in the competition. He even left his cell phone behind for the rehearsals so he could fully engage and observe.

It was a great experience for our younger students, who conducted themselves exceptionally well at the event. Sonatne is keen to enter the awards again next year.

The Silicon Valley Experience began on Sunday, 6 July when five students and a number of staff and supporters travelled to San Francisco. Their journey took six days and takes in visits to Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Stanford University, Ideo and the Khan Academy. They also met with specialists in venture capital, and recruitment.

The students saw this as a lifechanging experience - one that will continue beyond the trip itself as they share their stories with their communities back in New Zealand.

“We can make a difference and bring the information we learn back home and share it with our peers. We can make New Zealand a technology hub and a hub of innovation,” says Year 13 student Justin Walker.

Shweta Sharma adds: “This

opportunity is like a catalyst moment for us. Later on we will definitely excel in New Zealand and from the knowledge gained we will be able to share this with others.” (Thanks to the Manukau Courier for this reporting) We are very grateful to business broadcaster Andrew Patterson, who had the vision for the tour, and was

able to bring together 24 companies and supporters to help finance it. They include Westpac, Xero, Vodafone, Just Water, Caniwi Capital Partners, Milford Investment Expertise, Jade, Vend, Mainfreight, Fronde, Endeavour Capital, Callaghan Innovation, Power

by Proxi, David Leven Foundation and Bradley Media.

COMMERCE

Frantic last minute adjustments, T R A D E FA I R grouped with nervous excited chatters.

Duct Tape Mania We struggled coming up with an idea for trade fair at first but luckily we had some help from the internet. At first the idea of making duct tape wallets seemed abnormal to us, but after viewing several images on the web, we all decided the idea wasn’t as bad as we thought it would be. Unfortunately there were several problems. None of us had any idea where to purchase duct tape, how much it would cost, or whether we would make any profit.

With all this in mind we still didn’t even know the process of making a simple and sellable duct tape wallet.

After buying the materials required, we followed a step by step tutorial found on YouTube. After gaining experience, we added our own ideas to the wallets, such as display for ID cards and a new way of adding pockets. We also experimented with other colour schemes and combinations. Using this information we made many wallets ready for Trade Fair. We managed to win an award for best overall and best quality on the day.

Adrenaline pumped, antsy teenagers, packed into one hall. Trade fair, an essence of excitement still buzzes within me when retelling such an event.

However I feel I should fill in the weeks that led up to such an event of mass proportions. It started with an indecisive group that had no foresight or plan of a product. After a week of ideas being tossed around and experimented on. We finally came to a conclusion.

Jewellery and wooden words of wisdom. We slowly but surely created our products. There were doubts and challenges but we persevered and found solutions. We carried on through countless trials and tribulations, and finally we reached and fulfilled our goal.

Trade fair for us as a group was a humbling experience. We have learnt so much from the start to the end of this adventure. We have gathered many valuable skills from the world of business and have learned much from our mistakes. Trade fair overall was a positive experience for all of us, and if we were asked to do it again, our answer would be yes!

Level 1 Economics get the chance to tour Tip Top ice cream factory in Mt Wellington. They learned about how different types of ice creams are made. Who makes the decision, what they need to consider before making any decision about their product or emloyees and how every decision made by them effects society.

Students enjoyed the whole experience and picked their favorite ice cream for free.

Some facts about TIP TOP: In 1936 two friends, Len and Albert, opened an ice cream parlour in Manners St, Wellington. Little did they know that their humble venture would grow to become a national icon loved by generations of New Zealanders.

Len and Albert soon began making their own ice cream. Not waiting for big ideas from overseas, they were

innovators from the beginning.

Len and Albert launched their first novelty ice cream bar in the early 1950’s – Eskimo Pie is an oldie but a goodie and is still loved today. Then came their first ice cream on a stick, Topsy (named after one of Len’s favourite cows). In 1962, these Kiwi upstarts built the Southern Hemisphere’s largest and most advanced centre for ice cream excellence – the ice cream factory most commonly known to Aucklanders as Tip Top corner. Tip Top’s innovation has been the key to its success, Tip Top has produced iconic products that stand the test of time like Jelly Tip, Choc

Bar, Trumpet and Memphis Meltdown – the first triple dipped ice cream on the planet!

Tip Top today… In a country with the world’s best milk and cream, the purest water, the sweetest fruit and richest flavours, it’s no surprise Tip Top is the world’s best ice cream – and it’s made right here in NZ.

On May 16 the year 13 Accounting and Economics students travelled to Wellington to expand their knowledge by visiting the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and the Beehive. When we got off the plane the shuttles came up and took us straight to the Reserve Bank where we were taught the role that RBNZ has, to manage monetary policy to maintain price stability, promoting the maintenance of a sound financial system and controlling the OCR (Official Cash Rate) to control inflation rates, but mostly they are known for supplying New Zealand with its banknotes and coins. Their vision is to promote a sound and dynamic stable financial system in New Zealand and they work towards this goal by having efficient payment systems, meeting the currency needs of the public and providing effective support services to the bank. We learnt a lot of how the financial system works and how RBNZ

has an immense role in maintaining this.

We were then shown the evolution of money through priceless artefacts that the Reserve Bank has kept from nearly a century ago. But what had caught the hearts and minds of the students was the MONIAC. The MONIAC (monetary national income analogue computer) was created by New Zealander Bill Phillips and is approximately 2 m high, 1.2 m wide and almost 1 m deep, and consists of a series of clear plastic tanks and pipes which were fastened to a wooden board. Each tank represented some aspect of the national economy and the flow of money around the economy was illustrated by the coloured water. A demonstration of how this machine worked intrigued and fascinated the fellow students. After a well-deserved break we visited the Parliament house, otherwise famously known as the Beehive. We were taken on a full in depth tour which showed

us where all the MP’s (Members of Parliament) gather for their caucus meetings and parliamentary debates.

We found out about the history, architecture, refurbishment and restoration of the parliament buildings and most importantly the strict rules and regulations that are enforced in the Beehive. This day trip to Wellington was very educational and a unique experience as it has shown us why RBNZ is the central bank and how it plays an integral role in controlling and maintaining the New Zealand financial system. Both RBNZ and relevant parties associated with parliament contribute to a large proportion of our wonderful country’s financial state of affairs. To our future fellow accounting and economics students planning on embarking on this journey next year good luck to you and enjoy this unbelievable experience!

ART DEPARTMENT

ART NEWS

The Art department has been humming along and had a busy year. It has been a hive of activity and we have celebrated many student successes.

We welcomed Miss Bribiesca to the team full time to join Mrs Lord and Ms Whittaker both back from maternity leave. Also joining us part time was Mr Hollis who came on board to help deliver our year 9 curriculum.

The students in the department over the past year have had great success both within the school and the wider community. In May we had 20 of our students work, both junior and senior, selected out of a pool of 90 Auckland wide students to exhibit in ‘The Original Art show’. There was a total of 40 finalists made up from schools across Auckland. The competition was tough and everyone was excited when Aeluna Nissan was placed first and Alexandra Newman was placed third overall, both of whom submitted stunning pencil sketches. It was a great gala evening and all the students exhibitors were there to support and congratulate their peers.

In terms two and three this year the seniors were treated to two artist talks and workshops from practicing New Zealand artists Marcus Winter and Charlotte Graham. Marcus Winter is well known for his sand art and his work features on a television commercial.

Students thoroughly enjoyed the workshop he gave; using ink, varnish and spray paint. Students also gave a Saturday up to do a full day workshop with practicing artist Charlotte Graham.

Charlotte took students through a step by step process creating their own bird art using a variety of mixed media.

The big night for the department was the opening night of the annual school Art exhibition. Lots of time, energy and work went into to making it one of the most successful exhibitions that I have seen in my time here at Manurewa High School. We had the most student work exhibited and the quality of the work was amazing. Ms Whittaker ran a blind auction for one her stunning paintings.

The Arts council made badges from every student in the departments work.

We had a guest judge from Edpac to determine the overall winners in each category as well as a ‘people’s choice’ award. It was such a treat to see the hall a buzz with students, parents, teachers and members of the community.

There has been a showcase of talent over the year within the department. We had several students submit work for the Wallace Trust awards. Once again this is a big award and it’s an honour if your work is selected as a finalist.

From 350 entries Aeluna Nissans pencil sketch of a girl daydreaming was selected as one of the 20 finalists.

Also recently Cassandra Wilkinson’s photograph named “Suadade” has been selected as a finalist and her work will be exhibited in the APO youth art competition.

The end of the year finale for our Level Three students was a successful exhibition held in the staffroom of their painting, design and photography folio boards. It was a stunning display of some outstanding work that the students have spent the most part of the year working on. Parents and staff were impressed with the quality of the work and the students were very proud to share the year’s work with everyone.

We wish our Level Three all the very best success on the next stage of their journey.

It’s been a massive year with many successes within the department. The hard work and long hours of support that the teachers of the department have put in to assist the students, has been evident in the quality of the work that the students have displayed. After marking the Level One and Two folios and seeing the fantastic work coming through at year 9 and 10 I am excited for next year’s students and talent to be unveiled. I know I speak for all the Art department when I say we are excited to see what successes and talent the coming year will bring.

BIO CAMP

Level 2 Biology offered a three day camp at the Waharau Regional Park which was from the 14th to the 16th of April 2014. The Biology camp involves the coverage of two new internal standards. They involve a range of practical activities such as a rocky shore study, a stream study, zonation on the rocky shore, investigating stratification and succession processes in New Zealand forests. For the duration of the different activities, students need to be thoroughly involved in collecting and analysing data, drawing and interpreting graphs and presenting their findings in a written assessment using their collected data from any one of these activities.

The teacher in charge of the Level 2 Biology course is Mrs K. Devi-Govind (TIC Biology). Level 2 Biology camp was a huge success and students performed well in both the standards.

My heartfelt appreciation to Mrs N. Stevens, Mr J. Flynn and Mrs L. Palmer who were also involved with the smooth running of camp.

I look forward to another successful Biology camp in 2015.

LIGGINS INSTITUTE TRIP Level 3 Biology is a full year course

that allows students to gain Level Three credits towards the National Certificate of Educational Achievement. Standard 91607 is based on the applications of biotechnological techniques and human manipulations of genetic transfer.

The Liggins Institute (located in Auckland city) provides an excellent opportunity for students to explore the various techniques used in modern day laboratories. This visit enabled the students to have hands on experience in using these modern day facilities. Students gained a better understanding of processes such as gel electrophoresis, DNA profiling and PCR methods. This knowledge was then assessed in a written exam worth three internal credits.

BUSINESS STUDIES

ANOTHER BUSY(NESS) YEAR

2014 has been another enjoyable and successful year in the Business Studies Department. All year levels have been busy creating their own businesses, coming up with creative and innovative products and taking them to market. There was a wide range of products this year such as Black Garlic Aioli (Black Bulb Co), Motive Beard Wash (MachoNZ), Loom Band Iphone cases (OZONE) and delicious Honey Roasted Sunflower Snacks (MYLIFE).

It was great to see the students carrying on traditions and continuing to support many worthy charities by donating a share of their profits; Kids Can, Camp Quality; Movember and Save the Children to name a few.

One group in particular (HPC) created beautifully designed cupcakes for SPCA. They went down a treat with both students and staff. SPCA were very happy with their donation.

We have been very lucky to have some amazing speakers of a very high calibre come in and speak to our students. Anthony Mills (Alumni) brought along members of the management team from Fonterra. They spoke to the level 2 and 3 students about the way Fonterra operates. Makaia Carr (MotivateMe NZ) had a difficult task of keeping the Level 1 students engaged on a Friday afternoon after school finished and did she rise to the challenge. She was an inspiration to the students and the teachers present.

On the 10th June 2014 our Level One Business class went on a trip to Spookers to do research about their recruitment process for an assessment.

Spookers haunted attraction is a live entertainment experience in which the victims (you) move through the theatrically themed haunted house and outdoor environments populated by sets, props and live scare-actors.

As you walk through the experience you will encounter visual, tactile, sound effects intended to terrify you.

Group by group we were taken for a tour around to see and experience the feeling of being in an old abounded haunted home. A cast member brought us through the house. They were all dressed up and had their full makeup

done. It must have taken a lot of time to get ready as it was really well done.

We also went through Disturbia which scared a few members of the class.

We were very lucky to get the opportunity to chat with the Managing Director Julia Watson and Thomas Sutcliffe the Actor Support Manager.

They told us all about the history of Spookers, the culture and structure of the business and most importantly the recruitment process. They were extremely helpful and provided us with lots of notes and a yummy lunch.

Spookers was a scary experience but overall was a fun and enjoyable day.

Carol Sao

Andrew Patterson (RadioLive) ran an impromptu lesson with the level 3’s, sharing stories of young New Zealand entrepreneurs making their mark.

Each year group also had the opportunity to go out and see businesses. Level 1’s visited both Spookers and Rainbows End, Level 2’s visited the new ASB building in Wynyard Quarter and Hyundai. The Pacific Business Trust hosted many workshops for the Level 3’s. All of these trips related to the students assessments and helped the students gain lots of knowledge to help them succeed.

We are looking forward to what 2015 is going to bring to the department.

Makaia Carr from Motivate Me NZ took time out to come in and speak to the 01BUS classes to help us with our external assessment, where we need to talk about a small business. Her business may be currently small but it won’t take her long to expand and grow it. She has big aspirations for Motivate Me NZ and has already achieved so many of the goals she set for herself.

Makaia came in fully prepared and I mean fully. She came with a powerpoint presentation she had prepared and a goody bag. OMG a goody bag. She was very inspiring. She started off by telling us about how she got to where she is today and even had the courage to talk about her childhood that started out as a fairytale and turned into a nightmare.

She was very open with us. She spoke to us about the different aspects of her business covering all the different

topics in our externals.

She gave more than e n o u g h information to help us succeed. We took a lot of messages from her that also will help us in our day to day life and our future endeavours.

She told us to dream big and that we can achieve whatever we put our mind to. She gave us many tips about being a woman in business.

She especially inspired me as I was left speechless. That doesn’t happen

HYUNDAI AND ASB On March 11th, our level two business studies class went on a trip to visit two businesses that are very well known in New Zealand and are hugely successful on the international business stage. ASB and Hyundai NZ. As a class, we only knew very briefly what these companies do and how they operate. We were clueless about what each of them specifically do to stand out from other businesses in the same field as them.

To be completely honest, visiting Hyundai and ASB didn’t sound like the ideal school trip but we gained so much more knowledge of business. In particular how they do things. Hyundai had a strong work culture. They like to do things as a team. They even have their own company HAKA which we thought was quite unique. They felt like it was their way of bringing their whole team together, even though there are so many levels in their management structure.

ASB was nothing like what we expected it to be. Activity-based working, where workers can change desks depending on what they are doing. They had a work environment

like nothing we’ve ever seen before.

It allows the employees to experience greater mobility and collaboration.

The award winning building itself is quite new so the architectural look of the place was very modern, and high tech. Colourful working booths and domes are where they hold the meetings in ASB and every level is a different colour. Even entertainment rooms containing TV’s and gaming consoles for employees on their breaks. We were surprised to hear that the open environment has made more productive, more motivated and also had lowered the operating costs. It was pleasing to hear how environmentally friendly the building was too.

It was great to visit these successful businesses and many of my classmates finished off the day wanting to work there. We learnt a lot about goal setting and how far it can take you in life but the key message we picked up was to always have a positive attitude and to love what you do. With these two values you will be employed and succeed in life.

I am happy to report that, once again, Manurewa High School students have excelled at the regional NIWA Manukau Regional South Auckland Science Fair.

Noelle Tangonan, a year 13 student, entered her project entitled “Trash to Cash”. Noelle noted that tons of used coffee cups are thrown into landfill each year, and do not decompose because of the inner plastic linings.

She undertook to prove that these cups could be treated to remove the plastic and then recycled. She succeeded in reducing the plastic content by 34 % with her self - designed methods and only basic equipment, and made usable recycled paper. This project won First Place in the Senior Science category. In addition she won the Prize for Best Year 13 project as well as the IET Innovation Award.

Manisha Paliwal was another winner. Her project, “Its Udderly Amazing”, involved comparing the protein, lactose, vitamin C and lipid content of raw vs. pasteurised milk. Her data showed that raw milk was clearly superior in all categories except lipid content. Manisha used university level techniques, which she modified to make suitable for school level equipment.

Manisha’s project has implications for the prevention of childhood Asthma simply by switching to raw milk. Her project won Second Place in the Senior Science category as well as the Prize for Best Project in Year 12.

Ranish Chand, another year 12 student, did his research on the development of non-commercial and non-chemical weed killers. His data

proved that such ‘home developed’ remedies can work almost as well as chemical agents when used at high concentration. Ranish grew hundreds of mung bean seedlings, and chopped, weighed, measured and analysed every one of them, including chlorophyll analysis by spectrophotometer. Ranish was awarded the University of Otago Award. This entitles him to attend a fully funded trip to the week- long “Hands on Science” event at Otago University.

This is the 3rd year in a row that our school has won this award.

A very promising junior student, Samantha Oh of 10 KFR, has shown us a taste of what may lie ahead as a senior student. She decided to investigate whether or not heating infant formula by microwave would affect the nutritional content. This she did by a range of direct nutritional testing of microwaved vs. stovetop

Dianna Wolfgramm of 12 PSZ has been accepted into the forum and will represent our school amongst a range of both New Zealand and Australian schools.

The event will run for 2 weeks in the January school holidays, and will see Dianna take part in a range of handson activities, both in the field and in the laboratory. There will also be lectures, trips, as well as networking and social

events.

Rotary and the Tertiary Institutions of Auckland conduct this full residential programme. By the end of the Forum students should have better understanding of the tertiary courses they wish to follow and a fuller appreciation of the place of science and technology in the wider community. The Forum also provides an opportunity for high achieving students to spend

warmed formula. She backed her data up with microbial analysis. Samantha did indeed find significant differences in the microwaved formula. Her efforts won her Second Place in the Y9 & 10 Physical & Material World category, as well as Second Place in the DairyNZ Award.

Congratulations go to these students who put in many long hours of research, and showed time management skills beyond their years. Well done also to our other students who represented our school with high quality and innovative investigations. They did not gain an award but their skill level has dramatically improved and this endeavour will stand them in good stead. So well done also to Solinna Toul, Kevin Moo, Joseph Nguyen and Amandeep Kaur.

WOMEN IN SCIENCE CONFERENCE

My sister likes to say that I’m antisocial, so how did I cope with a rather social event like conference?

Well, I did just fine; in fact I really enjoyed it. On the 9th July 2014, I was fortunate to be able to attend the ‘Women in Science’ conference held in Wellington- on the award that is funded by the MacDiarmid Institute.

This was the first time they decided to allow secondary school students to attend the conference. As suggested by the name, the conference was quite feminist. It is interesting that there was a topic about why science is sexist. I think the purpose of the conference is to show how far we have come as a society to give women the right to have professional careers. Apart from this, the conference is about sharing experiences, new discoveries and the latest cutting edge technologies. The talks were really intellectual so some of them just flew over the top of my head.

There were also some debates going on

and it got quite aggressive but there was nothing personal. I loved the workshops that I went to e.g. Python programming (language code), building a robot with Arduino and programming it. Lastly I also enjoyed the controversial science workshop where we got to discuss the advantages of science hand in hand with the downside. It was nice to meet

and talk to some scientists. They are incredibly intelligent and I also made some new friends.

I’d like to thank Mrs. Colyer for helping me with the award application as well as arranging pretty much my whole trip.

I was the University of Otago Award winner at the Manukau Region Science Fair 2013. As part of my prize, I had the amazing honour of attending the Otago University’s Hands-on Science week in January – all expenses paid.

I was flown down to Dunedin and spent a week in the dorms, going to lectures and conducting experiments in their labs. There were different science projects running, including pharmacy, biology, psychology and many more.

I went into the physics project which focused on climate based physics. On the first day we looked at climate models from Christchurch and compared the changes over the years and learnt about infrared cameras. On Day Two, we used devices such as frequency generators and oscilloscope to learn more about resonant frequency and how carbon dioxide molecules re-admit light in random directions, just liked wires can emit sound. We measured radiation at short and long wave lengths. Day Three we visited the

second coldest room in the Southern Hemisphere. On the last day we looked at all our research and watched videos on climate physics, helping us understand what we had done over the week.

Thank you to Otago University for a brilliant week. It was very practical and I am grateful to them for the use of their facilities and to the wonderful demonstrators and organisers.

Kia ora Koutou, Well, the Chinese year of the Horse has certainly moved swiftly in the Dance Department. In 2014 we welcomed our third full time teacher to the Dance department.

Mele Ta’e’iloa has a background in Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary and her passion is Hip-hop. Her crew ‘Hopskotch’ won second place at the Regional Street Dance competition earlier this year. She has also travelled to Melbourne with Hopskotch and placed 3rd in the MegaCrew division for the World Supremacy Battlegrounds.

Ailini Alatini is currently the choreographer for MBRACE Dance Troupe. Consistently performing for Community Groups nationwide gaining international success in Australia. This year, Ailini has been involved in many community and corporate events such as Pasifika Festival, Wanganui Cultural Festival and the annual Cancer Foundation Ribbon Day. Shaquelle Maybury is back with renewed vitality and energy after fighting a nasty illness in 2013. Our department encourages commitment to professional performances which keeps us all on our toes. ‘Treading the Boards’ remains current in our teaching practise which inspires us to remain life-long learners and to strive for excellence.

Last term we were lucky enough to have Allister Salaivao with us as a student teacher. He is a talented dancer who has had 10 years teaching experience, including placing at the World hip-hop competition with “Prestige” (one of the pioneer groups in NZ Dance). Allister has choreographed for respected dance crews, competitions and events such as Tempo Dance Festival’s Out of The Box Showcase.

He is also a skilful member of Street Dance New Zealand’s judging panel.

We are proud to announce he will be a part of Manurewa High Schools Dance department 2015. Welcome aboard

SIMON AND RICHARD

Richard Peseta-Mapusaga and Simon Turangatau deserve recognition for the accolades they

have accumulated working with ‘Fresh Movement’. Both boys have led our SDNZ Mega crew with a collaborative approach with a team consisting of 23 dedicated students. They both represented New Zealand at the World Hip Hop Championships over in Las Vegas, with their team Fresh Movement Dance Crew and did an amazing job by placing in the top 10.

THE PROJECT

The Project is a National Dance competition that was held in Tauranga earlier this year.

We had the opportunity to take a group of Year 11 Dance students (NFXIOUS) to represent Manurewa High School in the MegaSchools division. Their hard work paid off and they placed 2nd. We also had our Delta Dance Crew compete in the Varsity division, as well as Richard Peseta and Simon Turangatau who placed 1st with FreshMen in the Adults division. We hope to be back in Tauranga again next year.

STAGE CHALLENGE

Many people see hip-hop as a terrible thing, promoting extreme anti-social behaviour. To us however, hip-hop is an escape from these experiences in our day to day lives. Young people in New Zealand are over represented in almost all negative social statistics; drugsviolence- loneliness- suicide. Hip-hop provides us with light in the dark spaces.

It’s our safe place. This was a brave Dance work which is very relevant to NZ youth statistics. Raisedinland Iose did an amazing job with choreography and teaching the dance routines to the cast of over 80 students. Lydia FirminCavanagh assisted Raisedinland with choreography also, directing and creating the Dark Spaces scene.

Though we did not place this year, we came home with 4 top awards and our students were proud of the story they left on the stage - ‘Dance saves lives!’.

4ONE3

4ONE3 is Manurewa High School’s all male Hip Hop dance crew. The group consists of Year 12 and Year 13 boys, they are Jerome Aiga, Etuale Fuilala, Tim Tonganibeia, Montell Tata-Nga-Waka, Sohil Chetty, Sione

Tu’ungafasi, William Boquiron, Richard Peseta, Simon Turangatau, James Talatofi. These boys have represented MHS at various dance competitions, community and school events all year round. Their most recent and highest achievement was placing 1st in Stand Up! Stand Out! 2014.

UNITEC

This year for the first time we had 3 Year 13 Dance students audition for a spot at Unitec’s prestigious Dance BA Programme. Jerome Aiga, Frankieveli Toelupe and Raisedinland Iose spent their Labour weekend at the 3 day audition process. They took part in workshops, dance activities and warm ups which was draining and took all their energy – something new they had not experienced before. They pushed on however and made it to the last day where they each showcased their solo choreography. After the 3 day+ audition, the wait for confirmation whether they were in or not was nerve wracking for the boys, their families and especially their teachers. We are happy to announce, that ALL 3 talented boys have made it through and have secured a spot in the Bachelor of Screen and Performing Arts program at Unitec. We wish them all the best!

DANCE EXTRAVAGANZA

This year we were fortunate to hold our annual end of year Dance concert at the Vodafone Events Centre. 300 Dance students from all year levels (Year9- Year13) were involved and performed in various dance pieces.

We showcased a range of styles which include Pacific, Tap, Salsa, Jive, Contemp and Hip-hop. Our Hiphop dance crews Delta, Reign and 4one3 wowed the audience with their exceptional talents. We had a special guest item by Allister Sala’ivao who performed alongside a few of our Year 13 students. To conclude our night the Stage Challenge retold our story of how “Dance saves lives”. It was a successful night and we want to thank Vodafone Event centre for the beautiful venue, the staff who helped backstage and our families and friends for your on-going love and support for our students.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT

THE ENGLISH REPORT

It’s been a great year for everyone’s favourite compulsory (until Year 13) subject. In preparation we shook off the ghosts of 2013, refined our course and replenished our stationery for the new year. We began 2014 with new timetables, new classes, and new texts to teach. Before Term One kicked off, the English Department all scurried to their respective classrooms once more to prepare. We set out our desks, took to the walls with staple guns, and loaded our top drawers with soon-to-be missing pens. So began our year.

And what a year. Newcomer Miss Haden was quickly absorbed into the fold, and brought her particular expertise to the lunchtime roundtable discussions. Between us this year we’ve managed to have two weddings, two pregnancies and a baby, as well as take up extra study and retain our social lives (just).

As a subject, English is often approached with suspicion by those unfamiliar with its uses. Writing is not measured with a ruler, rarely do correct answers match those in the back of a textbook, grammar has its own oftdebated peculiarities, and the official inclusion of slang into the dictionary is met with equal parts despair and approval.

English tends to be portrayed as a dusty, tweedy sort of subject, understood only by a select few who are neither superior nor subordinate; only strange. And in other schools this may be the case, with dusty novels or obscure films favoured by out-of-touch teachers who are furious when nobody understands their references.

Not so with Manurewa High School’s English Faculty. We are a department filled with teachers passionate about our subject, each bringing a diverse background to the discipline.

Novels, poems and short stories studied explore relevant, topical issues.

Films are selected for their

entertainment value as much as their thematic complexities. There is no text that cannot be taught in one of our classrooms. Bring us the lyrics to today’s top pop song and we will analyse it with as much skill as we would a Victorian poem. English, you see, is all about communication and understanding. And those two concepts must be able to be applied everywhere.

This year our students explored the deeper meanings and big ideas behind uncannily prescient dystopian futures, fantasies of myth and space, gang warfare, racism, classism, and discovered just how terrifying birds can be. We also sniffed out tomorrow’s young writers, whose hidden talents were quickly recognised in the first few weeks and who will continue to be fostered until they leave us for good.

Our nurturing looks like tough love at times. English teachers seem to relish any opportunity to dissect a piece of writing. We savage once-white margins with notations, suggestions and questions. But there’s no malice in our liberal use of red ink. We merely need the writing to be perfect. That’s all.

This year we were thrilled with the

availability of literacy credits for our seniors across the curriculum. No longer were we the sole keepers of the mysterious University Literacy Entrance Requirements. This advancement further allows the concept of crosssubject learning in the future. Skills learnt in English are applicable to many other reading- and writing-heavy subjects, and vice versa.

With more assessments than in previous years, our juniors took the increased workload on the chin. Our e-asTTle and Common Assessment Task results show that we’ll have some superstars in our midst when they put on their senior uniforms and tackle NCEA Level One in the years to come.

Next year holds new challenges.

With two away on maternity leave and a few new faces, there’s going to be some shifting of roles in the English Department of 2015. What will never change is the level of skill and support that comes from we strange inhabitants of E-Block. When it comes to communication and understanding, we hold ourselves and our students to the highest standard.

R E L I G I O N -LEVEL A usual call is made, indicating that it is time for the Dhuhr (Mid-Day) prayer.

On hearing the call, I lazily make my way towards the group of people preparing themselves for the prayer. We align ourselves in parallel rows, shoulder to shoulder, on the colourful soft rugs that spread across the floor. I sway my body from side to side, patiently waiting for the leader to begin. For some reason I don’t want to be here right now. I can’t remember the last time I did.

“Allahuakbar” (God is the greatest) the prayer has begun.

And just like that, I decide to turn around and leave. Again.

I think I’m losing faith. Picturing myself a few months ago I was an entirely different person. I’m running away from God and His religion.

Something I would’ve never imagined myself doing. Yet I don’t feel guilty.

I don’t feel anything. Nothing at all.

And I think these people that I’m staring down at through these tiny metal holes in the rails from the floor above are noticing it too. But nobody says anything anymore because they know I’ve heard enough. Time and time again I run away and sit here… waiting. The holes on my faded maroon school skirt, one on each knee, grows bigger and bigger each day. Right now the only thing on my teenage mind is getting to that door that lies straight ahead of me. But I’m afraid to make a noise. Because what they don’t know is that I am here and they are there. But the people behind that door, they know and they are waiting for me. I pick at the holes of my skirt to waste time and suddenly I hear the sound of movement below. So quickly and swiftly, I crawl.

The floorboard beneath this thin blue carpet makes risky noises so I make sure to be careful. But over the years I’ve learnt my way around this maze of noise. I know exactly which spots make the loudest creaks and groans.

I make it to the yellow door. My heart is beating really fast and I’m scared.

I feel this way every time I’m in this situation. But this feeling excites me and I can’t help but want to feel it over and over again. I don’t want anyone to notice me. I can’t afford being caught

T W O C R E AT I V E W R I T I N G

doing something stupid…again. I know God is watching me in this very moment. He’s probably disappointed and wondering where I went wrong. I brush those thoughts aside. I’m happy, aren’t I? Before I place my hand on the cold metal door handle I take one quick glance behind me.

I squeeze my eyes shut and hold my breath as I push the door open hoping that it wouldn’t creak. I let out a deep breath and smile to myself in relief. Once again I am here; a room so dark and cold but strangely I feel like I belong. The room is oddly silent and I can hear the sound of my own heart beating. I’m waiting for that familiar sound of laughter and giggles. And just then, I meet two pairs of beautiful brown eyes - their eyes tell a million stories. Two girls come out from behind the teacher’s desk laughing. They walk towards me for an embrace and I can’t help but smile that smile. Suddenly everything makes sense. All the things I feel when I’m alone go away when I’m with them. That’s why I am here and not out there - I feel something. And it’s something I want to feel over and again.

A silly laugh escapes from all of us but the last thing any of us need is trouble.

A trip to the principal’s office has become too regular. So we head to the beige fire exit door which leads to a grubby metal staircase.

I look down at my white cotton socks, but I chose to keep them on. Together, we hold each other’s

hands and tiptoe down the stairs that leads to the school’s back field. My feet quickly meets the warm concrete floor and I make a quick run under the staircase. The summer sun heats up my body. We complain about the heat so we peel our white hijabs off and place them in a pile. Together we lean our bodies against the warm orange brick wall of the school’s building, our arms linked around each other. We lift our skirts above our knees to feel the sun’s heat against our legs, all while talking and laughing about our future, the memories and the heartfelt promises we intend to keep forever. Together we lay, side by side, shoulder to shoulder.

I lift my head towards the sky and in this moment I just wish I could freeze time, right here, right now, and live in it forever.

DISCOVERY LEARNING CENTRE

REFLECTIONS FROM D I S C O V E RY 2 0 1 4 When I was in Discovery I learned about the Treaty of Waitangi and the meaning of Discovery and how we can learn in different ways by doing different activities. Discovery is a place where people can learn and focus on their work.

MANAAKITANGA Discovery is a place where we came to be culturally aware of others and know more about who we are as an individual and what we mean to others and what we’re a part of.

We have learnt how to treat others the right way, how to work together with one another despite all our differences and how important our ancestors are.

We have learned to treat others the way that we want to be treated, how to work together as a team and how to associate with others and make new friends.

Discovery is about helping us as Year 9 students to make the right choices and how to interact with our community.

DISCOVERY IS A NEW CHAPTER WHERE YEAR 9S COME TO EXPERIENCE THEIR NEW LIVES OF BECOMING YOUNG ADULTS. IT GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK FORWARD TO OUR DREAMS.

STRENGTHS:

Communicating with my group members and getting an appropriate amount of work done; accepting the people in my group’s ideas when they share and try making them better by putting in my own thoughts; participating when the seniors came in to teach us the school haka, which we performed with pride at the Marae; looking out for my group members and helping them when they ask for help; wanting to learn about the Maori values.

OPPORTUNITIES:

Visiting the Marae and learning about each Maori god and people who travelled to New Zealand in waka from Hawaiki; learning about how Manurewa got its name; going to the Marae and learning about the Maori history.

THREATS:

Not being able to pronounce certain words; getting confused about which brother was older than the other in the story about ‘how Manurewa got its name’.

WEAKNESSES:

Getting distracted by people around me; not paying attention at times when instructions are given; not understanding some of the words when Matua was presenting his speech using the Maori Language; pronouncing.

GEOGRAPHY

LEVEL ONE GEOGRAPHY

This year, geography was a memorable and interesting subject. We got to experience 2 trips, the Goat Island and Rangitoto Island trip alongside we visited the Auckland Museum.

GOAT ISLAND: At the Island we were put into 5 groups so we could be attentive to all fun and interesting activities that were prepared. The activities done were snorkeling, measurement of the beach as it was part of our research and we had to do a survey based on people and the number of visitors that come to the beach every day. We experienced the glass bottom boat under which we got to see a school of snappers.

As a class we also had to attend a presentation which informed us about the environment and the reserve. This was a great opportunity to understand Goat Island and our environment.

RANGITOTO TRIP: was held recently in term 3 on the 9th of September. We had caught the ferry

to Rangitoto Island it was a 30 minute ride. On the island, we were travelled up in 3 different groups. On our long journey up the mountain we had a great time socialising and enjoying time with nature. After an hour worth of climbing, we had all made it safely up the mountain. The view was just incredible. We could see the sky tower, the landmarks, the harbour bridge and other popular buildings. At the top we got to sketch the view which was a great experience to try to locate the fine details. We had taken so many pictures and video of the day. After enjoying the delightful view we were again split up into 2 groups, having the opportunity to visit the lava caves. This was a fun activity, going through the dark caves and just admiring the natural features.

Soon after the lava caves we had to go back to the bottom of the island as the ferry was about to arrive. Best time was on our way down. It was the race of our lives. We had to run down from almost half way down the island. The trip was

LEVEL TWO GEOGRAPHY

02 Geography camp was honestly one of the best camps I’ve ever been on. Every aspect of the camp was fun, from the tests that we carried out to the essay writing at the end of the day.

Everyone was rushing to get their tests done as the water rushed down stream, almost bowling people over, nearly everyone walked out of the water with numb feet.

I think the one thing everyone enjoyed at geo camp was the Tongariro crossing. I don’t think anyone actually anticipated how hard the Tongariro crossing would be. We were warned

that it wasn’t going to be easy but I didn’t really register how hard it would be until it came to the stairs. As we walked the set path, everyone was so consumed in the scenery that surrounded us.

Climbing an estimate of 2000 stairs, was the hardest thing I’d ever done and even though it was hard everyone was so encouraging. Nobody was left by themselves and even the people who found it extremely difficult, were with a group of people who kept them going.

However, the beautiful view of the park, at the top of the stairs was well worth the climb. So many people were ready

super exciting and tiring. We ran down as fast as we could, just hoping to make it to the ferry. Luckily we had all made it safely to the ferry after a 5min delay. In the city we caught the bus and went to the museum. At the museum we looked at the volcano section and also went in the shaking room, which felt like a real volcano.

At the end of the day we were tired.

This was an unforgettable trip as we had great fun whether it was climbing up the mountain or running back down.

We learnt and experienced a lot based on volcanoes and their effects on our environment.

Geography is great fun and we learn facts about the earthquakes that occured in Christchurch and Haiti. In class we would do activities and fun tasks to have a better understanding of these. Geography is an amazing subject as you learn heaps based on a variety of topics which improves our understanding of the world around us.

to give up, but as the group encouraged them, they made it to the top and were so thankful and proud to say they had walked 16km, or at least to the first stunning lookout before turning back.

I think everyone found the camp fun and enjoyable because it was well planned out, from the fun-filled activities to the end of day debriefs, everyone was so co-operative.

Geo camp was such an amazing experience, one that I think I will keep with me forever.

LEVEL THREE GEOGRAPHY

On the 6th-8th of August, the Geography and Tourism classes went to Rotorua for the much anticipated Year 13 camp. We stayed at the Keswick Christian Camp site and they were such amazing hosts. On day 1, we set out to beautiful Rotorua to discover its natural and cultural attractions. Our first stop was the Rotorua museum which originally was the local bath house. There we split into two groups where one went off in exploration of the bath house, while the others viewed an intriguing screening of the origins of tourism in Rotorua, also combined with the local Maori legends. We attended a lecture of the history of Rotorua which was inspiring.

Te Puia was our next destination.

We had a great traditional Maori Welcome and a waiata performance was an experience we will never forget.

It was amazing to see a lot of tourists from around the globe interested in the Maori Culture let alone appreciating New Zealand’s history. After the show we explored quite a bit more of the grounds of Te Puia. Some of us seeing

the kiwi birds for the first time. That was great! Next we were led to the Geysers, capturing its eruption. Here, we took photos of its eruption which reached heights of 20-30 meters.

Day 2, led us to a very long walk down Fenton Street recording the distribution of the accommodations such as the hotels, motels, lodge, holiday’s inns etc. Afterwards, we had an hour of free time and then met up at McDonalds for our next destination which was the Agrodome where we observed the trained sheep, ducks and dogs. Later on in the afternoon was more hyped up as we headed to the Agroventures. At the agroventures there was the swoop to the bungy, the jet boat to the sky dive activities where everyone had a chance to experience something new and to test our braveness and courage.

Later during the afternoon, to cool us down, the majority of us went to the Polynesian Spa and the others went Rock Climbing.

The last day we got to visit and ride the Rotorua Skyline Sky Rides where we raced down the luge more than

once. It was great fun. Nothing but good vibes and love all around. What a way to end our last geography trip as Year 13’s.

It was an awesome and a memorable year for the Year 13 Geography and Tourism classes this year and no doubt we all have something to look back on and cherish from our trip that will last a lifetime.

Beginning of the year we also went to Muriwai Beach as we collected information on the Muriwai Coastal Environment as being south from the stack to the river (Okiritoto Stream) 2.5km north. It was a great experience studying the natural environment, the effects on the coast, despite the smell of the birds.

A big Thank you to our wonderful teachers Ms Bossenger, Mr Hendrikse, Miss Glendinning and Mr Silk for putting up with our occasional misdemeanors, entertaining and our clashing personalities for the whole year. Y’all are the real MVP’s.

09 SPORT STUDIES

In 09SPT we’ve been playing crazy cricket and to be honest it was really crazy. Since I’ve been playing cricket for a long time no one could get me out. My team was really good because we were once losing by quite a big margin but my team got the other team out under a minute and we caught up. We all went crazy. Our whole class is participating and loving it. The most important thing we learnt while playing Crazy Cricket is communication and day by day we were getting better and better. Hopefully the next time we play that game we don’t go crazy.

01SPT

“The highlights for 01SPT have been working with the Homai Primary students, going to rock climbing and laser strike, and learning about self-management.” - Fatai Tuitavuki “The highlights for 01SPT have been playing sports and interacting with fellow classmates and creating new friendships and bonds.” - Jonathan Taukolo “The highlights for 01SPT have been learning leadership skills, playing games and getting to know everybody and feeling like a family.” - Lupe Tamanika

01HEA

“I’ve had heaps of fun gaining knowledge about the 4 aspects of Hauora in relationships and in both good and bad situations. Knowing this has made me a confident person in trying to help others in their situations and to know what to eat when I want to live a healthy life.” - Grace Gago “I have learnt so many things about Hauora/wellbeing.

This course expanded more on what we learnt in Health/PE last year. It gave me more of an idea of how to deal with situations which involve all 4 dimensions. I have enjoyed close to everything in Health. Great course!” -Maile Guttenbeil

02PED

Highlights of the year for 02PED: Alice Hemara- Camp & getting to know other members of our class Bailey Hoera- Camp was awesome and I had lots of fun doing the activities.

Helen Lesa- Camp was an amazing experience, being able to bond with others.

02HEA

“The Health Expo was the best aspect of the year as we got to make a real difference in our school community by promoting health. We displayed stands on topics such as bullying, nutrition, alcohol, sexuality, suicide and physical wellbeing. We invited outside organisations in to support us such as family planning, youthline and the heart foundation who provided advice and guidance. It was great to see lots of students coming in to try our games, quizzes and activities and leaving with knowledge that they never had before.”

“01PED has been an awesome subject to take. We have learnt new sports such as Ki O Rahi and Turbo Touch and even got to go Rock Climbing. We had a mean week at camp where we learnt new skills and made new friends. 01PED has been challenging because we had to develop strategies to improve our performance and write about what we have been learning not just doing practical all the time. We always have fun in 01PED and it is my favourite subject.”

03SPT

“03SPT has been amazing this year. Not only did we develop our leadership throughout the course but we got to apply this leadership in many activities. A big highlight this year was spending a day with the Warriors and watching and learning how the different coaches managed the players.

Finally at the end of the term we spent a day at Les Mills gym ,where we got to participate in a cross fit class and apply everything we had learnt about how the body works and what muscles are being used. 03SPT has taught me a lot and I have really enjoyed the course“

03PED

“It was a challenging year full of laughs and jokes for us.

There were times when we were pushed to our limits and sometimes beyond particularly during the aquathon and the tough guy and gal challenge. We were pushed to think in ways that we never knew and see things from completely different angles. In the end though we managed to overcome any obstacles that were in our way and through this we created strong bonds within our class.”

Another busy year has flown past!

Without a doubt, the year has been challenging but rewarding.

At the beginning of this year, we welcomed Mrs. Howell as our new staff as well as Mr Clive Bushell, Mrs Sandy McAllen, and Mr Hogan Chapman, who were allocated to teach our reception class.

Many thanks and gratitude to these dedicated teachers who have worked very hard to support our students.

Great appreciation to our wonderful teacher aides Chrissie Lee and Carla O’Neil, who are always ready to go the extra mile.

It is admirable that our ESOL students are determined, motivated, and hard-working and bringing a wealth of assets of different cultures and languages to our school, which is a huge accomplishment.

Congratulations to our students who have tried their best to adjust to their new life, and those who have made remarkable progress. In particular, Manisha Paliwal, who has kindly written about her English learning journey to share with us.

LEARNING ENGLISH

Learning English is not easy for everyone and learning English as a second language is more difficult. As a migrant student, spending two years in New Zealand, I have realized that English is important for me and I have a clear goal to improve my English.

Since I came to New Zealand, I have faced many difficulties. I can understand what people are trying to say to me, but I can’t speak English that fluently and with some accent. It happened a lot to me when I tried to say something, people laughed at me. Sometimes I was mocked and also often ignored when people don’t understand me. But today, I am confident to speak in front of people and have made good progress

in my learning. I participated in the Regional Science Fair, where I got the second place. I am proud of having a chance to represent my school at the interview for the Breakfast Show on TVNZ. I have been in ESOL classes for two years. My English is improving day by day and it is all possible due to the support of my teachers. This is a place where I can learn happily, a place where I can take risks, a place where I can learn in different ways and a place where I enjoy learning.

I am proud of myself. Thanks to the language support I have luckily got, it has made it possible for me to achieve well in all my subjects.

LIFE IN THE ESC

Another year passes and again we find ourselves wondering where it disappeared to and how we managed to fit so much, into such a relatively short period of time. The new entrants we welcomed this year were Mark, Steel, Kasey and Chevelle.

Term two was both a delight and a challenge, as Mrs Gargiulo went with Mr G to Africa, and Europe. We delighted in her regular posts, photos and video’s of playing finger games with African children in school, big game, and new adventures. We crossed our fingers for them both when we heard of Mr G losing his wallet in Europe, and wondered how they were coping with the stress of finding the right platform, to make vital connections, with barely minutes to spare. We also wondered what we would see on their return as there were lavish descriptions of substantial meals, and days spent in orchards or exploring towns under cloudless skies with the obligatory gelato or fresh fruit in hand. Many thanks again to Mr Murray Hollis, who

covered in ESC for the term and added much to our programme.

Our students have again benefited from work experience programmes, STAR funded courses at MIT and our in house Living Skills Programme.

Individual students have also had the opportunity to work with Occupational Therapists, Speech Language Therapists and Transition Co-ordinators to prepare them for life beyond the school-gate. We have also managed to squeeze in the Special Olympic Soccer and Basketball Tournaments and are eagerly looking forward to a fun day of Touch Rugby later this term.

We farewell Rebecca Woodthorpe at the end of this term and wish her all the best for the future, and every success in her studies at MIT. Finally I would like to thank and acknowledge the wonderful team who support our students and deal with the myriad of issues that are part and parcel of ESC life. Mrs Gruebner, Mrs Theobald and Mrs Gargiulo are without doubt the most talented and wonderful

staff anyone could ask for. They take everything in their stride and create a magical environment for our students to thrive in.

Their complimentary talents, highly developed skills, and determination to obtain the best for our students are the building blocks that make the Education Support Centre a great place to be. Ladies you are legend!

MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT

M AT H E M AT I C S R E P O R T 2 0 1 4

We have an underlying philosophy in our department that every student is an asset. While sometimes we struggle to identify that with particular individuals, we certainly comply with the view that each student is as important as the next, no matter what level of Mathematics.

We also abide by the view that barriers to entry for a course should be minimal.

Sometimes students fulfil our hopes, sometimes they let us down.

At the start of the year we welcomed into the department Mr Alo Viliamu. A graduate of Aorere College via Auckland University he became a welcoming and cheerful face. His classes came to appreciate the firm discipline and relaxed style which helped make his first year of teaching an outstanding success. All other staff returned. We seem to be going through a process of both stability and gradual renewal in the profiles of our Mathematics staff.

From the results of the 2013 examinations it was obvious that there were some areas that we had to work on. We were very pleased with the success of our 02STA course which was new for 2013 and the results of the external paper equalled anything on offer elsewhere in the school. It was a pity that the numbers wanting to do this course fell away for 2014.

Perhaps our students have an aversion to hard work and the call on literacy skills. The Statistics that many older people remember is a far cry from the collection, sorting, evaluation and reporting of data which is happening today.

For the year we decided to put an emphasis on our 02MTB and 03MAI courses, both internally assessed.

Here we find some of our less able students and we knew that if we raised success levels it would impact on the overall NCEA results for the school. At this stage of the year it appears that we have exceeded our expectations.

With 03MAI a UE approved subject we were particularly intent on raising the percentage of students who gained the required 14 credits. It is likely that we will double this to over 60%.

The Mathematics staff are a talented lot. Mr Bimal Singh and Ms Prasad

travelled with the HALP group to Thailand and Laos in September. By all accounts they became the chaperones rather than the chaperoned. Mr Raghu Singh once again took on the challenge of International Week and we always look forward to and prepare for his Churchillian oratory. He also became the mass provider of a million student reports.

Mr Vijayakumar once again enjoyed being a father figure for his 01HMA class. Mr Henley settled into a new room (again), this time A5. Our wonderful debater Mr Naidu continued to express his opinions, always truthful and full of purpose. Mr Hufanga singlehandedly saved the Ponsonby Rugby Club’s 120 year celebrations. His 50 metre dash to score the winning try came on the stroke of full time.

Mrs Lal was away during much of the first term. When she returned the thought passed that she must have been doing much more work than we thought.

Miss Mataele once again organised the Tongan Group to do us proud at Polyfest. We look forward to her change of lifestyle at the end of the year. Mrs Singh was seen to be early one morning and accidentally attended the Staff Meeting while Mrs Dreadon became our very own dog lady.

On a more academic note, our Mathex teams did us proud, travelling to both the Counties-Manukau competition at Rosehill College and the Auckland competition at the ASB Stadium Kohimarama. Thanks are due to the efforts of Miss Hou and Mr Liu in preparing the teams for this.

Once again we had successes in the Australian Mathematics Competition with a Distinction certificate being earned by Adam Scott and a further 15 recipients receiving Credits.

Looking ahead to 2015 there are some exciting developments. The introduction of BYOD into two Year 9 classes will be watched with interest.

Our two participants, Miss Hou and Miss Mataele, will have a lot of hard work in front of them. The department will be linking with Hiranga to provide

the mathematics for the Year 10 programme as well as assisting with the integrated learning. In addition we are hopeful that a set of laptops will materialise to be housed on the ground floor. This will open up countless opportunities as we look to further engage with technological change.

VISION RESOURCE CENTRE DON’T LIMIT YOUR CHALLENGES – CHALLENGE YOUR LIMITS

Another fantastic year has nearly ended in the Vision Resource Centre at Manurewa High School. As usual our students have played a full and active role in the life of the school. Be it academic, sport, cultural or whanau based, all junior and senior students excelled in all those areas and were acknowledged at the Prize giving evenings held this term.

The team of teacher aides ( Delwyn Grey, Amrith Jaj, Chrissie Lee & Reuben Brannon), a full time Resource Teacher Vision (Belinda Biggs) and two part time Resource Teachers Vision (Jan Thorburn & Jenny McFadden) have provided enthusiastic and dedicated support to the students and enabled them to strive to reach their full potential in all academic areas. Our students have competed on an equal footing with their peers through the use of specialist technology such as Laptops with software, IPads, electronic Braille note takers, digital cameras and a variety of tactile resources. Many resources have been formatted on site to suit the needs of the students so that the students have them in class at exactly the same time as their peers. We are continually updating and amending our huge resource collection of Braille, electronic documents and large print materials and therefore ensuring that the students who attend the resource centre have a superb resource immediately to hand on site.

This year we had eleven students attending the regular classes and supported by the Vision Resource Centre. At the end of this year we have one Yr12 student who will leave the Vision Resource Centre to attend the ‘Kickstart’ programme at BLENNZ Homai Campus in 2015. The other students will be staying with us next year to be joined by five new faces that will give us a total of fifteen students in the Vision Resource Centre in 2015.

Throughout the year some of our students have been involved in various activities. With the support of the Halberg Disability Sport Foundation, students were able to attend the

RNZFB Camp at the beginning of the year. Halberg also promoted Goal ball at the school by sending us a team of coaches to train the students on Tuesdays during their lunch break.

With the enthusiasm and commitment to the game, Freedom Nathan, Justin Hammond, Naqibullah Alizadeh and a sighted peer Shekar Paliwal were placed 4th out of six teams and made it to the semi-finals at the recent Goal ball Nationals. They also drew in the round robin game against Auckland Blind Sport and Recreation Club women’s section. Freedom Nathan also won the “Spirit of Sport “Award. This term the team of coaches are training a team to play Blind Cricket. We would like to thank the coaches for all their hard work and helping the students to achieve well in sport activities.

Cam Dawson and Freedom Nathan excelled in their Music abilities. Cam not only made it to the National Finals in the Smoke Free Rock Quest Competition but took second place in the Solo Performance/Duo category.

Cam also appeared on National Television in The Attitude Programme, Seven Sharp, has a Facebook page and ‘You tube” clips that highlights his Music achievements. Cam and Freedom also had the opportunity to have their songs recorded and released on CD at Neil Finns Roundhead Studios in Parnell.

Cam Dawson and his mum had the opportunity to meet Andrea Bocelli at the concert evening in Auckland where Cam handed a copy of his recorded songs to Andrea as a gift to thank Andrea Bocelli for the two executive tickets sent to him and his mum to attend the concert.

Cam was introduced to Arturo Pelayo on Friday 19th September. Arturo has shown a keen interest in Cam and is planning to run a special project with him on Astronomy by using 3D printers to produce resources. This project will take its course in 2015.

Justin Hammond (Yr12) has been a role model to the juniors and played an important part in the mentoring programme at the school. He attended a Leadership Workshop on Leadership

Training on 7th – 9th October 2014 at El Rancho – Waikanae where he explored his passion to become a leader and develop his skills. Justin also achieved with excellence in Level 2 Dance this year. Lavinia Vehikite (Yr12) has achieved some amazing academic results as well. Her dedication and hard work paid off when she achieved Level 1 with an excellence endorsement. She continued to work hard and most of her achievements this year is of excellence standard. We are very proud of her.

Lavinia aspires to become a nurse and travel to her country of birth (Tonga) to practice as a medical practitioner. At the beginning of this year, Manurewa High awarded her a scholarship to attend a holiday workshop at the University of Otago to begin this journey. While there, she networked with like-minded youth and attended lectures. She is a positive role model to all with an exciting future ahead and we wish her well in all her endeavours.

It has been a fantastic year watching all the students grow in confidence as they meet each challenge they are presented with. The Vision Resource Centre at Manurewa High School will continue to support students in all areas of their academic study in the regular classes with more passion and enthusiasm to succeed under the vision of BLENNZ which is “Equity through access - opening doors so all may learn.” and Manurewa High School which is “Aim High-Strive for Excellence – Piki Atu ki te Rangi” “The only thing worse than being blind is having sight and no vision” Helen Keller.

HOSPITALITY AND CATERING DEPARTMENT

C AT E R I N G A N D T O U R I S M C L A S S

In 03CAT we have had a lot of opportunities, chances, and experiences. We have had functions that are held on a Thursday at lunch time -this is where teachers come in as paying guests and we serve them.

The class would split with one half being in the kitchen, and the other half in the front of House- this is part of our assessments. We started with a Buffet lunch, then moved onto A’ la carte. We then extended onto a 50/50 drop with a choice of 2 meats. We have also done catering services for the Chinese and Japanese exchange students and more recently catered for the local pensioners. We have done afterschool and out of school services where we catered for the Maori Achievement Dinner. The out-of-school catering for the Manurewa Local Board was the highlight of our services. When it came to SAC conferences we made a variety of foods for the teachers on break.

We have had a lot of opportunities to serve, cook and cater throughout this year. With all the catering going on we also spend time working on our Unit Standards workbooks. The workbooks

we work with relate to the food we cook. We learnt how to make espresso coffees, with that we separated into groups that have allocated days where we come in early hours to make 20plus coffees for the staff.

Students in CAT have participated in a lot of competitions, throughout the year, students in year 12 and 13 had put time and effort into their competitions.

We had students practicing for Cupcake competitions, Pasta, Wraps, Table Setting, Smoothies, Coffee Making and more. These students participated in Regionals and Nationals Culinary Competitions. We also had one of our Year 12 students participating in a baking competition, and won the title of Baker of the Year. As well as those competitions we also had burger comp.

03CAT had the chance to do some work experience, in pairs working one day a week we started with Coffee Club. Two students a day did not come to school but worked, one student being on the coffee machine making coffees and the other waitering. We also had the chance to do work experience for Gate Gourmet. For this students

MY EXPERIENCE IN HAC

My Name is Marissa Hirst, I’ve been taking Hospitality and Catering for the past two years. From my perspective, this cooking experience has been somewhat of a rollercoaster with its highs and lows with an amazing finish at the end.

Before taking Hospitality and Catering, this subject seemed like fun because you get to cook and eat but it turned out to become more hands on than I imagined. From this subject, there are a lot of opportunities including competitions, lunch services, work experience and learning the art of coffee making.

Every Thursday our class worked together to prepare a lunch service for school staff. We set up a restaurant like dining area so we could experience a realistic restaurant service. We train to serve our staff like customers so we can have the experience of working at

a real restaurant.

Competitions are one of the many opportunities I got to take part in and showcase my skills which I further developed when I competed in several competitions and won gold for my school. But getting first place wasn’t

packed appetisers.

A mix of year 12 and 13 students got to take a one week course at Bakels where students spent time making different varieties of baked foods from bread loaves to sweet bread products learning different techniques and skills.

The year 13 students also got to do an assessment experience at MITs School of Baking which was a two day assessment. As well as the courses we also had a two day experience learning about how to deal with customers in different situations.

With all the hard work going on we had time off to go on trips. Our first trip was to a Food Show. This is where one of our students competed. We then went to Vodafone Event Centre where students were competing in the National Culinary competitions.

We were treated to a 3 course class lunch at The Beachouse restaurant and plan to go to Bracu later in the term. We wish to thank the school for giving us this opportunity and trust this experience will greatly assist us in our future.

easy as there were many challenges along the way. The struggle was trying to commit myself to getting up early every day to practice my dish.

But after all the ups and downs everything I’ve learnt has led me to a better career for myself.

This programme provides a range of planned experiences that will challenge the students to • Be motivated to pursue education and employment • Have confidence to set challenging goals and achieve them • Have the ability to interact with adults to obtain the support and resources required 2014 the Career Navigator programme was supported by Leighton & Fonterra.

Foundation for Youth Development has been involved with Manurewa High since 2012. The partnership has introduced two successful programmes.

Stars Peer Mentoring programme is a transitional programme that allows for the Year 12 & 13 students to become mentors for the Year 9 students. The mentors have volunteered to participate in the programme where they commit themselves to weekly training lessons that support them to facilitate fun and interactive activities.

Mentee Quote “I love my mentor because he helps me and supports me when I have a problem”

The mentors gain responsibilities related to leadership skills, building healthy relationships with their peers and mentees, feel empathy towards their teachers and enhance their selfconfidence.

Mentor Quote “I now understand and feel what my teachers go through when standing in front of a class with students who do not want to learn or listen” I am grateful that my teacher has been supportive this year through my mentoring journey!

On behalf of Foundation for Youth Development and Whaea Tamara, a special Acknowledgement to Miss Thomas, the Year 9 tutor teachers, Mr Muir, Mr Perks, the Careers Team, Chrissy Steeples and staff of Manurewa High. You have embraced the programmes and have encouraged our students to achieve and be successful, THANK YOU!

HIRANGA CAMP This year we took 50 Hiranga students for a four day camp to Kokako Lodge in Hunua. It was filled with adventure, fun, challenges and working outside of our comfort zones.

The Hiranga students worked in groups with the Year 13 Sport leaders on various activities over the four days, building confidence, solving problems and taking risks.

The Year 13 leaders were all amazing and took the time to get to know the Year 9 children. Building relationships was the key to having such a successful camp experience.

Some of the activities that the children worked on were raft building, orienteering, kayaking, Burma trail, archery and seeing the glow worms as well as many other things. On the last day the students all participated in an Amazing Race, working together to complete tasks and racing for the finish line.

All of the students involved had an amazing time and wish it could have lasted longer. They would like to give a HUGE thanks to Miss Wilson and Mrs Reynolds for organising it all and giving us the opportunity to get involved in such an incredible experience. Another HUGE thanks to the HAC boys and Miss Gordon, who worked tirelessly in the kitchen, getting out of bed before everyone else so we could have the BEST camp food ever! To the VIKING for helping out with the kayaking and archery. To Kokako Lodge for letting us stay there and use all the gear.

Last but not least to Mr Williams, Mrs Ram, Mrs Parker, Mrs Wilson and Mrs Reynolds (again) and Ms Morgan for giving up your time so we could grow our confidence and leadership skills.

MUSICAL NOTES

What a busy Year for Music! We started things off with the “Who Loves Who” Competition and three of our students in the national top 20. Well done Amy Leaana, Agnes Paupau and Michaela Clark. Then we found out that Michaela had come first place and had won recording time at Roundhead studios!

This Year was a boom year for SmokefreeRockquest and SmokefreePacificaBeats as well with our participation levels higher than they’ve ever been. We even had one group TAK (Ana Henry, Tara Thomas, Kore Pita and Moses Ta’ala) make both regional Finals! In SmokefreePacificabeats they were joined by Nesian and Tequilla Moses at the regional final with MHS filling 3 of the 12 spots and the only school with more than one finalist. Tequilla took out first place in the solo/duo catergory, the Mana Wahine prize and went on to place in the top 2 at the National Final.

SmokefreeRockquest is the biggest Secondary School Music Competition with over 700 acts competing and involving over 2000 Students. Cam Dawson not only made the National Final but placed 2nd in his category winning a prize of $1000 worth of Rockshop vouchers. This is a major achievement. Along the way Cam got to meet lots of iconic musicians including Jon Toogood (Shihad) and even Andrea Bocelli. Cam was also featured on three different television shows.

Once again we were a top two school nationally in the Lion Foundation Songwriting competition with four of the top 40 coming from Manurewa High School, congratualations go to Cam Dawson, Ana Henry, Freedom Nathan and Nesian for winning recording time and having their songs released on CD. A first for 2014 was being asked to record a song for Play it Strange Samoa.

TAK also were Highly Commended in the ‘Hook, Line, and Singalong’ competition and Evander Siafa was Highly Commended in the ‘Wero’ Songwriting competition

KBB FESTIVAL

We had three bands competing in this year’s KBB festival and all of our students can be incredibly proud.

We had a gruelling schedule with our Symphonic band playing Wednesday evening, our Jazz Band Thursday evening and our Wind Symphony (Senior) Band playing in the first session on Friday. Many Students backed up all three performances and the associated travel to Westlake Boys and Girls Colleges. Our Groups performed well with both Concert Bands receiving Bronze Medals and the Jazz Band receiving a Highly Commended Grade.

2014 also marked a revamp of how our Year 10 Program was being taught and we have seen some key improvements with our new specialist Guitar, Keyboard and Singer/ Songwriter classes.

STAFF ACHIEVEMENTS

Miss Cuizon has had a busy year providing musical directorship to both Concert Bands and being an active performer with the Auckland Symphony Orchestra. Miss Cuizon was also invited to lend her conducting expertise to an ensemble in her Native Hawaii.

Mr Coulomb’s band ‘Sematics’ has really taken off and has had one of their singles remixed by acclaimed Engineer Greg Haver in London and then Mastered in New York!

Mr Randle was in two Bands playing Acoustic Guitar in the Art Folk Group Eyreton Hall (with our Drum and Vocals tutors Mr and Mrs Keegan) and Playing Bass Guitar in the Brit Pop band StormPorter.

Mrs Louman had another great year handling most of the accompanying duties for assessments and singing assemblies.

A special thank you to all of our Itinerant tutors - they do an amazing job, all the core music staff, the AMAZING Mrs Telford and our Line Manager Mr Wilson. Your support is always welcomed and appreciated.

We will miss those departing Year 13 students. Your involvement over your time here is often immense. Keep the music flowing and remember to come back and visit!

TRADES ACADEMY THE QUAD BURNER PROJECT

As part of our Trades Academy Community Project we built a ‘Quad Burner’. This is a resistance exercise machine used to strengthen your quadriceps and build muscle.

The material was supplied by M.I.T and the wheels, angle iron and steel mesh were supplied by FYD and our Mentors.

Getting involved with the community and making a Quad Burner for the Papatoetoe Rugby Club was a great experience. We worked with our mentors from Leighton’s Engineering, over two weeks designing and making the project.

Our mentors were really helpful and gave tips and advice on how to carry out our project and it gave us an insight into how real projects are carried out in industry.

Some of the 02EGN and 02TAE students were very inspired by our project and the work we completed and many of them have already chosen to try and carry out a much better project next year. (Good luck with that!!)

We eventually tested the Quad Burners by having a relay of two mixed

teams of mentors and students. The Quad burners performed well and we were very fatigued after the relay showing that they actually worker extremely well!

In the end I would recommend

ENGINEERING

this type of community project to the students next year. The 02 Trades Academy have been making Children’s Picnic Tables as part of their course.

Here are a couple of the boys with their finished table – pretty impressive!!

TRADES ACADEMY BCITO BUILDABILITY CHALLENGE

This year our school was entered into a building challenge with 8 other schools from around the country. Our teachers selected 5 students from the Trades Academy Construction course ((Joshua, Allawi, Behonest, Cornelius and myself) to design and build a sand pit with two uses. Each student was assigned a task, important to the completion of the project.

As students, having not done a task of this level before, we felt as though we wouldn’t complete the task to the full standard. Instead, we not only completed it (even starting late after so many setbacks) we built the most stunning product that the judge who assessed our sand pit thought we had purchased it! For a group of high school students, soon to be leaving, we were very humbled by such a comment. All of us who were involved in the building process gained great learning from the skills we were shown and have grown in confidence with ourselves and abilities, so much so, that we are prepared for whatever life can throw at us.

Now that the project has finished we feel as though we have gained a lot from the experience and are deeply thankful to Mr Montgomery and Mr Pilling for their part in showing us the proper way of doing things and helping us to get the task finished. We could never have done it (in time) without their encouragement and expertise. Thank You. Te-Wha McGee-Karawana

MAORI ACHIEVEMENT

51

RAISING MĀORI STUDENT A C H I E V E M E N T AT M A N U R E WA H I G H SCHOOL It has been another busy year for us all in terms of Māori achievement as we have continued to cement key celebrations and customs within the kura. A recent report on our NCEA Level 2 Achievement Profile shows that we as a school are above the national average for the number and percentage of Māori school leavers leaving with NCEA level 2 or above for 2013.

Whist this is pleasing, we as a school are committed to further improvements and have worked hard with current initiatives as well as developing some new and exciting ideas to further raise Māori Student achievement. A brief outline of a few follows.

SENIOR MĀORI ACHIEVEMENT DINNER

Kia mau ki tō Māoritanga – Hold fast to your Māori Culture We enjoyed another encouraging evening celebrating our Senior Students with their whānau over a dinner served up by our award winning Hospitality and Catering (HAC) Students. Ezra and Trevina, this year’s Student MC’s did a good job to keep us all in line ensuring the evening ran smoothly. The night closed with our guest speaker the inspiring Dr Lance O’Sullivan, this year’s recipient of the Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year award.

The Kaitaia-based doctor and father of seven children, has implemented a range of health initiatives in the Far North that are helping to raise the standard of health care in remote communities. Growing up he found himself expelled from two high schools before attending Hato Petera College in Auckland. Dr O’Sullivan spoke of the turning point for him in his life was being nourished in an environment that helped him connect and learn the important aspects of who he was. His message was simple but clear as he

encouraged our rangatahi to do what they do because it is the “right thing to do and for the right reasons”. He also encouraged our rangatahi to continue to work hard because we needed them to be the successors of people in positions like himself. He ended by leaving us with his key ingredients for success which were: self-belief, hard work, and realising the support around you and that it can come from where you least expect it.

MĀORI CELEBRATION WHAKAMIHIA Ā TĀTOU AKONGA MĀORI

The Māori Celebration night has become an established part of the School year. It is an event to look forward to and celebrate the range and depth Māori student’s achievements in the school. It is exciting to see students coming up on stage to be acknowledged by the school some shy and others with more confidence, yet all with a sense of pride about their heritage and who they are. Read about the winners on page 72.

MĀORI LEARNING CURRICULUM AREA & WHĀNAU CLASS FOR 2015

Ko te reo te mauri o te mana Māori – Language is the essence of Māori Identity The school has been planning and working through a proposal this year to set up a Māori Learning Curriculum Area and Māori Student Whānau

Class for 2015. The intention of such an initiative is to help in raising Māori student achievement but will be a space where all students will have access to learning through Te Ao Māori (The Māori world view). This means it will explicitly link Māori cultural knowledge (to nurture Māori identity) to school curriculum so that learning is contextualized and affirms mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge) alongside Western knowledge. To offer Māori cultural knowledge taught within a Māori context is another way we as a school could better promote a positive identity for our Māori students and research supports this can help build resilience in students that can improve engagement and achievement.

*The above diagram shows a framework that briefly outlines the Māori Learning Curriculum Area proposal and the next stage is to meet with our whānau and community to help us define the elements to ensure its success. If you would be interested in knowing more about this new proposed initiative or would like to contribute in any way please get in contact with Miss McCall via email at mn@manurewa. school.nz.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

A V E RY B U S Y Y E A R It has been a very busy year for the international students. We welcomed three new students this year: Ricardo Chen from Yi Chun in China, Milly Adimim from Nauru and most recently, Dinh Anh Nguyen from Vietnam.

Several of the international students went on a tour to see the sights of Hobbiton and enjoy the warm baths at Te Aroha in the middle of the year.

They were able to exchange Facebook details with French students who are studying in Wellington and were also on the trip. In addition there have been our restaurant visits, this year to a Vietnamese and a Chinese restaurant.

A real highlight was the opportunity for Mrs Shaw and Mrs Li to meet Polly Liu’s and Tina Zhao’s parents in Guangzhou. They enjoyed outstanding hospitality, went sightseeing and were thoroughly impressed with the great food. They then travelled to Jingmen No. 1 High School and Yi Chun No. 1 High School, our partnership schools in China. We were also able to meet Ricardo Chen’s parents in Yi Chun and to experience the same generous hospitality.

Then we welcomed Jingmen’s first short tour in August by three students and their teacher. This was quickly followed by a tour from Kakogawa in Japan.

We say farewell to three students this year who are all going on to tertiary study in New Zealand.

Van Anh Nguyen, Polly Liu and Angelina Lee have each been at Manurewa High School for three years and we wish them well in the future. They have made a wonderful contribution to our international student group.

HALP

THAILAND AND LAOS EXPEDITION

HALP is the MHS Humanitarian Aid Leadership Programme. It’s been running since 2010 and we have sent groups to Cambodia (three times), Vietnam, Thailand and Laos. Every trip has been action packed and life changing, creating lifelong memories and developing focussed, future leaders – who are big on making a difference and learning about the world.

From September 24th – 7th October 23 students and adults travelled to Thailand and Laos to have the adventure of a lifetime. The group was: Naotia Atiana, Michaela Clark, Tessa Dreadon, Isla Fidow, Rebecca Girdwood, Lavinia Havea, Sulani Helg, Kalolaine Ikavuka, Tamera KetikaPulefolau, Zayna Pirini, Zara Rotohiko, Te Wai Rua Cowan, Vishant Sahay, Karita Siakasini, Hope Taala, Sarah Wijohn Adults: Donella McPherson, Bryan Smith, Bimal Singh, Mel Verwijmeren, Anjila Prasad, Andrew Robins, Phil Muir.

They travelled to Bangkok then to Laos where they visited Luang Prabang, travelled up the Mekong River, travelled overland to Phonsovan in Xieng Khouang region, Vang Vieng, Ban and Vientiane. Projects they helped out with included: Thailand – Bangkok: Afternoon at NZ Embassy/MFAT/NZAid Project. Met NZ ambassador, Reuben Levermore, heard from consulate members about NZ Aid programme. Met and discussed projects with prominent members of Rotary International.

Then to the magical mountain country of Laos – and the first school group to go there. One of the poorest countries in the world. First was Luang Prabang and participated in the morning ‘Alms Giving’, a traditional Buddhist rite where the local people give gifts of food to lines of saffron glad monks from

the town’s 54 temples. Very cool. Like lunchtime outside the pavilion but with hundreds of monks.

The group travelled up the Mekong River and visited a remote Lao Loum village. They stayed overnight and carried out LOTS of cool activities. They visited the local school and participated in some of their activities. The school is funded by a NZ Trust called ‘Bridging The Gap Mekong Trust’. We made financial contribution, gave some gifts, played and hung out. Cool.

Visited Lao Elephant Camp, went on an elephant safari, fed and washed them & then visited the Bear Rescue Centre, which is funded and run by an Australian NGO called Free The Bears.

Visited ethnic Lao Theung village.

Played heaps. Did some cool stuff.

Made financial contribution.

Long windy trip south east to Xiengkhouang Province – close to the border with Vietnam. Visited the SOS orphanage. Painting buildings + murals, games and learning activities with orphans. Gave gifts. Made financial contribution. Visited NZ Aid projects, Plain of Jars. Mines Advisory Group UXO Centre to learn about the effects of Unexploded Ordinance from the Vietnam War on the lives of the Lao people to this day. Gave donation to clear mines from land and purchased a GPS for locating mines. Cool.

Then we visited the Lone Buffalo Foundation who are working to improve the lives of local children through sports and English programs at the local school. Gave data projector, made contribution to fund a teacher for a term.

Played international football match. 4 – 4 draw (we did score 1 try).They had no idea what was happening when we picked up the ball and ran with it. Great haka and awesome match.

After a couple of days mountain

biking, tubing, kayaking and ballooning in Vang Vieng (amazing place) we travelled to Vientiane. Visited some NZAid projects in Bolikhamxay.

Learning handicraft production with Ban Na villagers (making rice baskets, bags and other simple things). Visited Thaphonsan village where the project supports to build some facilities there.

We conducted a social activity: planting trees with villagers. Made a financial contribution towards development. Did some MEAN AS bombs and discovered an amazing waterfall.

Our next interaction was a cultural exchange: 40 high school age kids on a micro-scholarship program (funded by the US department of State) – these kids are all from disadvantaged backgrounds and are in their final 6 months of a two year part time language and culture program. We did this at the COPE visitor centre - prosthetic limbs for UXO victims. Made donation to buy prosthetic limbs. Gave medical supplies (kindly donated by Industrial Fits Aid Supplies).Learned heaps, ate icecream then went to the markets.

Our last night was spent with former World Health regional director and Doctor Gio’ Deodato, and friends and family.Friends included the Minister of Health and a Kiwi doctor who gave his time to teach us about health, medicine and developing countries.

The group was proudly supported by: International Travel College, Alfriston Rotary, Stray Travel, and many other generous supporters – Thank you so much to all those people who made this life changing expedition a reality.

It was amazing. Planning has begun for HALP 2015 to Cambodia and Laos – don’t miss out…

DUKE OF EDINBURGH BRONZE AWA R D – Y E A R 1 0 A D V E N T U R E R S

On Thursday 12th and Friday 13th June a group of 28 Year 10 Manurewa High School students travelled to Waiheke Island to carry out the first of their adventurous journeys – as part of their Duke of Edinburgh’s Bronze Award qualification. The group was a random mixture of students who wanted to challenge themselves to experience something new – and gain a recognised award. After a calm ferry trip from downtown Auckland to beaufitul Matiatia Bay students were met by staff from Potiki Adventures – who kitted us out with a pile of camping gear. Mobile phones were sealed away with duck tape and packs were filled with food, cookers, tents, thermal survival gear – yes, we were carrying everything we needed to live away from the luxuries of home on our backs.

For most of our students this was the first time they’d been to Waiheke Island – and the first time ‘real’ camping – which made for a life changing experience. No flush toilets (a spade was provided to make our own), no microwave ovens, no TV’s, no Playstation, no power… no McDonald’s – nothing but nature and what we could carry. Our first tramp was around the coast heading south. There was a mixture of different terrains – some flat, some hilly – and lots of trees that had been blown over the track in the recent storm. Students were divided

into three groups – each very different.

The boys group went hard out, proving their strength, stamina and ability to chant louder than anyone else. The two girls groups also showed their unique characters – one was patient and thought things through and the other was loud and ready to challenge the boys to physical supremacy – and ended up coming back first.

The night was really windy. One tent had its zip explode about 2am because of the wind – which meant moving it in the dark to a more sheltered spot.

Other people found it difficult to sleep with the howling wind thrashing their tents around while some were just so tired from the days’ tramping they slept the whole night through.

What did we learn? HEAPS. Eat a decent breakfast and keep eating when you have a break to keep your energy up, drink regularly, keep out of

offered this programme and we believe it to be a very valuable experience.

Students learn to make better, safer decisions and are put through a range of interesting workshops and sessions.

The day has a powerful impact on students and will change and save lives. All of our Year 11 students spent a day at the Vodafone centre in February.

Students worked through sessions and workshops which included safe

the brakes on in a car at different speeds to see how braking is affected by speed – FUN but makes you think seriously), altering your car, hazards distractions and risks, my car, and they heard from an accident victim. This was incredibly powerful – hearing how someone else’s bad decision – to drink and drive – has completely destroyed someone else’s life.

If this day can save one life then it’s

the wind, don’t pitch your tent where it can get blown away and enjoy yourself!

Two days of beautiful sun in one of NZ’s most stunning locations!!

The students returned tired, with some sore legs and backs but happy and stronger – both physically and mentally. These students have now done 2 overnight camps plus a number of other projects, including tree planting at Orakei Marae and environmental work on Motutapu and Waiheke Islands. Opportunities and experiences like this teach you so much – and build confidence and friendships that last.

We wish to thank Bianca and the team at Potiki Adventures and a special thanks to the Friedlander Foundation for providing such a large number of our students with such a special opportunity – student who wouldn’t normally have such an opportunity.

CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

Wow! What a year it’s been! This year has been such a great journey for many, especially for the Christian Fellowship group. Our group started with only a couple of students, which later increased throughout the year.

We’ve been blessed to have guest speakers from different churches in our community and students sharing and inspiring each other through their stories and activities.

However, last term our group were privileged enough to organize a concert in our school hall where over 500 people were gathered to watch. It

was not just any old school concert, it had meaning. The theme of the concert was “EncourageMEnt”, empowering people to be and stay encouraged through God’s love, that they are never alone when it seems like times of abandonment or loneliness.

It was a great turn out, better than what the Christian fellowship group hoped for. A free event with free food afterwards, there were many people from our school, churches and community. The vibe was incredibly powerful, and the feedback received was that many people were touched by

They say ‘Real men wear pink’, well in this case, I guess you could say ‘Real schools wear pink’. On May 28th, the Health council held a ‘Pink Shirt day’ event. This event gives the students and the staff the opportunity to go all out and wear just about anything pink, and Wow! What a massive turnout for Manurewa High School. Walking through the boulevard and it was like a flood of pinkness surrounding you left right and centre. Basically the whole purpose behind Pink Shirt day was to raise awareness about bullying and stop bullying completely! ...Well at least try to anyway. Students from the Health council went around to all the classes and collected donations. We raised a lot of money which we were very much grateful for. Pink Shirt day was a great event and it helped pass on the message of anti-bullying. It reminded people of the effects of bullying and what it can do to a person. By seeing how pink our school was, we knew it was a success! Thank you Staff and

Students for participating in the event and donating money. We plan to host another Pink shirt day event 2015, and for sure it will be much bigger and better. -Maile Guttenbeil, Year 11 The health fono day is an event setup by the Youthline and other health organisations around Auckland.

This year 10 health council members attended the event which was held on May 8th. The fono was a great opportunity to socialise and interact with other schools and a great way to experience new ideas from different health council groups. We started the day off by introducing ourselves, we all were placed into different groups which encouraged us to interact with other schools. In our groups we were given a variety of games and tasks.

We discussed what we have done in health council. We played Charades and used play-dough to convey our messages. This built our team spirit and our confidence level. After our interactive games each group had to

performances of spoken word, songs, skits and speeches, as well as a special altar call that had people touched and in tears. We were blessed with such an opportunity by the school and guided

by God to make this concert something special to remember. So, from the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank Mr Hendrikse and Mr. Bingham for helping us overcome the obstacles to hold this concert.

God bless everyone, and stay encouraged!

share ideas based on how we could make our health council better. Each school got to experience and learn new ideas such as having a healthy day, water fun-day and having a zumba day. In our group we had to perform a small skit showing what a good health council looks like and the behaviours that are inappropriate. This was a fun and interesting event. Our lunch was provided for the day. During lunch we participated in games (Pukana) and we had a great time sharing the different ideas we had learnt. At the end of the day we finished off with a song that we all participated in. The event was surely a memorable one as I made new friends and I got to experience different ideas and perspectives that have helped our health council grow.

Also this year some students have the opportunity to be part of the health Fono organisation that helps plan for the next event. I personally had a great time and a fun experience at the fono.

“LUA PATI MA AHHHHHHHHHH……..”

LE the biggest tournament in Australasia happens at Waka Nats stays at Waka

Well where do we start with Waka Ama, it’s by far one of the toughest sports to crack here at MHS, trainings aren’t just water based, they’re land, gym and fitness centre based too – they’re basically hell BUT….at the end of the day if trainings are hell races become easier and Coach Mel Martene definitely isn’t one to shy away from giving us the hardest training sessions we have ever seen! Eastern Beach’s staircases became our new best friends, burpees were our staple diet and water was our new heaven!

AUCKLAND CHAMPS…

This year like every other year we competed at the Auckland Secondary Schools Champs that were held in March at the Orakei Basin, we had 12 teams compete on the day and again we were one of the most successful schools in attendance. One of the standout performances actually came from our young U16s boys’ team of Pafe Momoisea, Rashaan So’e, Sean Maireroa, Mosese Teuhema, Alamoti Funaki and Tim Dreadon. Keep our tradition of excellence going strong boys!

with over 100 schools from all over New Zealand competing for top honours.

Competition was fierce with many school teams loaded with club and NZ paddlers.

We raced hard…….and again our top performers were the U16 boys and girls mixed W12 team that placed 6th overall – proud of you guys, well done!

Race hard, train even harder and get on that medal podium 2015!

We laughed…….every year one of our traditions is to have a performance night. This year we discovered some talented boys…. Vaililo Talaileva and his “lua pati ma le ahhhhhhh” Something we will never forget, what

Nats…so you think.

We cried……this year we say goodbye to some amazing seniors, Tenisha Stringer and Seve Paeniu.

These guys have been with us since they were juniors and they have grown to become great people both on and off the water. Thanks for all the memories guys and don’t forget your Wakaz Famz!!

To Mel and Maggie – our Wakaz parents, taxi drivers, counsellors, providers of food and torturous trainings THANKS HEAPS!!!!!

WAKAZ FAMZ 2014…LUA PATI MA LE AHHHH…….OUT.

NEW ZEALAND NATIONALS...

Auckland Champs came and went by pretty fast and from there we were straight into preparing for the New Zealand Secondary Schools Nationals – the highlight of our season. Nationals is held in Rotorua at the Blue Lake, it’s

GIRLS SQUASH

In Term 2, 2014 a group of girls formed two teams of five to compete in a west / south competition.

We played teams from Western Springs, Mt Albert and Macauley in a round robin event, and we won about 70% of games played. Though we lost 30%, we still feel like winners on the inside – and winners for representing our school.

Toward the end of the term, a group of us was selected to represent our school in the Auckland Secondary Schools Championships, held at the

National Squash Centre over two days.

Some of the girls we played were extremely good, and this really gave us a chance to improve our skills. We played our best, enjoyed ourselves, and came away in mighty fifth place.

Monica Hor was also a happy winner of a spot prize on the day.

Throughout the season with the girls, I’ve learnt new things, met new people, and spent time training the girls and helping them to improve.

Brooke Alderton, girls squash captain

Team manager’s note: managing girls’ squash was an awesome way to get to know some awesome students.

I liked how the stronger players supported those new to the game. I liked how right from the start, learning to manage the largest vehicle I’ve ever driven and finding the best ways to dodge the Browns Rd traffic. They were supportive of me and grateful. Thanks: Brooke, Hayley, Monica, Ishani, Dara, Hannah, Sulani, Rebecca and Tessa.

R U G B Y 1 S T X V G I R L S R E P O R T 2 014 “Firstly I’d like to thank the girls for their hard work this season, you not only met my expectations you surpassed them, and like all victorious teams that success started at training but, there is more in every single one of you, don’t make Regional Champs your focus, make your goal to be the best that you can be and if you set your ambitions high and work harder than everyone else one day you’ll get there – Mel” BELIEF, FORMATIONS and FAMILY, these 3 words made up our core values this season and what it season it was.

We started training hard in March, it was a Rugby team, a sport played with an oval shaped ball and yet we never got to touch one, or even see one for about the first 5 weeks of training. All we saw were running shoes, hills and grass, add to that all we heard was the whistle, whistle to start running and another to stop running.

Trainings were killers but those of us that stuck around did so for a common reason, to get our hands back on our Champions trophy won in 2013. The running that we were hit with was going to help us achieve that, “nothing worth having ever comes easy” “remember why you are here, play for your sisters next to you” “play for the jersey and the legacy that it represents” “it’s hard to win a title but it’s even harder to retain it” some of the things our coach Mel Martene would remind us of over and over again, these were the reasons why we trained, and those same reasons kept us on the same page.

Strangers turned into friends, friends into sisters. We learned about Belief – we had to know that we could do it. We learned about Formations – we had to trust our game plan and implement it well. We learned about Family – we had to trust one another and we had to be able to count upon one another to do our jobs.

• Played 16 games.

• Drew 1.

• Lost 1.

• Won 14.

• Points for 567.

• Points against 37.

•Top try scorer – Harmony “Pumba” Tinomana Papali’i.

•Top points scorer – Aki “Problem child” Piliu.

•Top Tackler – Matilda “Machine” Emelio.

Thanks for all of your teachings coach, we really appreciate all that you did for us on and off the field, and you helped some of us become better people and better students not

just better rugby players. Thanks to Mr Clemas for being the best backs coach ever and also thanks to Miss McPherson and Maggie for supporting us on and off the field! To the girls, we are so proud of you all, make sure we work harder next season and let’s get to the Nationals.

To the year 13s, our Captain Matilda Emelio, Horsey Ana Latu, Lupe Maamaloa and Amy Leaana, thanks for the leadership and guidance. All the best for your futures and we remaining will do our best to build on the MHS Girls Rugby 1st XV legacy of Champions.

VOLLEYBALL

Before we talk about Volleyball for this year, we need to mention the impressive achievements of our Junior Premier Girls and Boys Teams 2013 and their battle for supremacy at the North Island Champs.

For the first time since 2003 MHS dominated the girls section at the North Island Championships – it had been a long time coming for Volleyball here at MHS but it finally happened, off the back of an impressive regular season where the girls won the Auckland Premier competition and the Auckland Secondary Schools Champs tournament, they also won a hard fought 3 set game vs the always competitive Otumoetai College at the North Islands to regain the North Islands title that had eluded us for over a decade. I was privileged enough to be at the tournament and I must commend the girls for their determination and composure – whether they knew it at the time or not, they were playing at a level beyond their years. Thanks to Coach Nico Ngwun and Manager Maggie Silva for their time and efforts in getting the girls to the peak of their competition.

Our Junior Premier Boys also impressed many at the tournament and it was tough game vs a highly motivated Western Height High School that ended our boys’ hopes of following the girls into their final. Our boys played some outstanding Volleyball and were great sportsmen throughout the duration of the tournament and I must mention the exceptional passing ability of Henry Ape. It was again my privilege to be able to manage the team at the tournament on behalf of regular team manager and #1 supporter Miss Claire Hunter who was unable to make it. Well done on the final placing of 4th and thanks to Coach Mr Benjamin “Kevin” Kelsall and Miss Hunter for their continued support.

Now 2014 Senior Volleyball season started and all teams were out to impress. Our 5 zone teams performed well with all teams finishing top 3 in their respective grades – well done! Thanks to Miss Toga, Miss Malaeimi, Miss

Silva, Miss Hunter and Miss Dravitzki for managing our teams!

All eyes were on our Premier Boys and Girls teams, these teams were gunning for Nationals at the end of March in Palmerston North and both teams had the ability to create upsets.

After both teams missed out on top 3 spots at Auckland Champs they headed to Palmerston North with a point to prove. A couple of games didn’t go our way at Nationals and resulted in our girls placing 9th and the boys finishing up 11th in NZ, still a great achievement!

We look forward to seeing what both teams can accomplish in 2015 with another years’ experience under their belts.

Congratulations to: Gail Taumafai – Auckland and North Islands Tournament Team and MVP. Zebalda Aiono – Auckland and North Islands Tournament Team.

Joesph Ligaliga – Auckland Tournament Team.

MAORI ACHIEVEMENT

M Ā O R I C E L E B R AT I O N WHAKAMIHIA Ā TĀTOU AKONGA MĀORI The Māori Celebration night has become an established part of the School year. It is an event to look forward to and celebrate the range and depth Māori student’s achievements in the school. It is exciting to see students coming up on stage to be acknowledged by the school some shy and others with more confidence, yet all with a sense of pride about their heritage and who they are.

Harding, Titanyna, Adonis, Lyric, Michaela, Tysha, Pera-Maui and Cam were the students that entertained the audience with their singing and playing instruments. The audience responded warmly, cheering and clapping as their considerable talents were acknowledged.

Our new Māori teachers Ms Stone and Mr Ngataki stepped up to be the MC’s and Mr Watkins was the reader; they facilitated the evening in a warm and humorous manner alongside recognizing the significance of the occasion. There were many people in a range of supporting roles helping to contribute to a memorable event once more.

Thank you to our school whānau for supporting and validating our Māori students as we look forward to next year’s celebration.

GATEWAY

G AT E WAY A S U C C E S S W I T H 9 5 STUDENT PLACEMENTS Gateway has been a wonderful success story again this year with 95 Manurewa High School students attending workplace training in a number of local industries. Work experience ranged from Retail at The Warehouse and Mitre 10 Mega, Automotive, Nursing, Aviation, Travel & Tourism, Engineering, Hairdressing, Police, Logistics, Information Technology, Office Administration as well as Cafes and Restaurants. The ‘World of Work’ opens up many opportunities for our students to connect with businesses in the region, and often students return to school with renewed interest and motivation about career options.

There are 27 level 2 credits on offer for students interested in working with the general public gaining confidence in communication & customer service skills in the process.

Ten year 12 students are selected every year to complete a Gateway placement at McDonalds, and enjoy the experience although it sometimes can become extremely hectic.

GateGourmet, Happy Days Family Restaurant and The Coffee Club continue to assist the school working with our Hospitality and Catering students. Without their support these programmes would not be possible, and for this we are truly grateful to them. These companies are continually impressed by the calibre of our students and the training they receive at school, which can lead to full or parttime employment.

Travel and Tourism popular with many senior students again this year, with Flight Attending and Adventure Tourism giving endless opportunities for them to experience activities such as safety demonstrations, food & beverage service, and bungy jumping.

Ava Onosai and Lupeolo Maamaloa actually flew to Wellington as part of their Gateway programme training for Flight Attending with Travel Careers & Training.

Terrence Nair had the opportunity along with Ashneel Deo to experience

the Technical Operations side of Air New Zealand in the Engineering Department. Placement was one day per week for 8 weeks experiencing the work performed by Aircraft Maintenance Engineers. This selection process is extremely rigourous and involves students from other high schools in Auckland competing for only 8 places. Congratulations goes to these two students for making it onto the Gateway Programme with Air New Zealand.

Working in conjunction with Manukau Institute of Technology a new Gateway Programme in Office Administration was launched. The Gateway Programme encompasses workplace administration and customer

service skills training for senior students wishing to explore a career in Office Administration. Students attend MIT one day per week for a total of 10 weeks and cover health & safety, communication in a team or group, customer service, ergonomic principles of computer work stations, maintain personal presentation, digital communication technology and face to face and telephone enquires. All 18 students on this programme have given very positive feedback about the course and it will continue to be offered in 2015. To all Gateway/STAR students … Best Wishes and Good Luck for 2015. Neil Lawton Gateway Coordinator.

ALUMNI CONNECTION PROGRAMME

ALUMNI CONNECTION AND DEVELOPMENT This is my second year at Manurewa High School leading alumni connection and development activities. It’s great to feel the momentum gathering. We’ve developed a good following through LinkedIn, which helps to connect us with alumni in the businessworld. With the support of Archivist David Voisey, we’ve developed broader connections to alumni all over New Zealand and the world, particularly through sites such as oldfriends.co.nz. Staff have also been

ARCHIVES

There was a discussion amongst staff members this year about what would be the same about Manurewa High in 15 years’ time. Someone came up with the statement “David Voisey will still be here!” Having arrived in 1964 and worked as a teacher until 2005, then as the school archivist, and from this year as an occasional reliever, this sounds like a distinct possibility-except that in 15 years’ time I will be aged 88! Anyway, the Archives Department continues to work quietly in the school library collating information about past school events, storing media articles about recent events, organising photos and videos, and responding to requests from past students and staff for information. This year I have been

75

a valuable source of leads for alumni success stories and contacts.

Not only are we seeing an improvement in quantity, there’s also pleasing development in the quality of connections. A few highlights this year: •The involvement of three alumni as judges of the BP Business Challenge, a Young Enterprise programme for Year 10s.

•A team from Fonterra, led by alumni Anthony Mills, helped to deliver Year 12

and Year 13 Business Studies lessons, providing an authentic case study on the theories being taught.

•A group of about 30 alumni attended an event to advance development of the Manurewa High School Business Academy. The stars of this show were alumni John and Leonie Hynds, who are passionate supporters of our school.

We held a Thank You event for all our supporters late in 2013. Lots of people came, who clearly appreciate the opportunity to be part of our school.

We’re busy working on this year’s Thank You event again.

Leanne Gibson, co-ordinator

scanning all past issues of the school magazine and putting them online. So far I am only up to the 1980s but expect this task to be finished sometime next year. You can access them via the school website Alumni link.

Most students have fond memories about their high school yearsfriendships made, school trips, school events, sport, drama, music, and even lessons and some teachers! At the same time they are glad when these years come to an end and they enter the next phase of their lives whether it is tertiary education or the world of work.

Some are keen to keep up the school connection with class reunions (either formal or informal) while others move

on with their lives with little thought for their school years until much later in their lives. When Manurewa High turned 50 in 2010 a high percentage of students from the foundation year of 1960 attended the Reunion, together with many more from the period 1960 to 1970. Students from more recent years were not so well represented. Nostalgia tends to be a trait that develops with old age!

The Manurewa High School website provides a link to the Alumni programme for past students. When you leave school I would encourage you to visit this page, find out what is happening, and consider being involved in some way with the school as a past student.

CAREERS DEPARTMENT

C A R E E R S 2014 This year one of our main focuses has been to provide students with information and preparedness for the many options available to those looking at transitioning beyond secondary school. While still assisting students across all levels with their option choice pathways, the majority of our time has been employed organising outside agencies to present future training and employment opportunities and experiences for our senior students.

With the wide array of Youth Guarantee courses extended now to cater for 1619 year olds, many of our students have chosen to transition early to tertiary courses of interest that are fees free.

Our students have engaged in some new pilot programmes this year. In Term 1, the New Zealand Defence Force offered a group of up to 30 senior students a military style One Day Challenge here at school. Staff from NZDF ran a careers presentation followed by leadership activities and finished with an introduction to NZDF physical training and debrief. Our volunteer students really enjoyed the activities, but many found the physical training session pretty gruelling!

In order to gain necessary employment qualifications, all students over 16 years were offered the chance to study for their Learners licence for a reduced, subsidised cost of $50. This is the second year we have offered these extra classes after school and we have increased the pass rate to 83% this year. Being an election year, all Year 13 students were encouraged to fill out their election enrolment forms which was made more real with some of them voting for the first time.

To improve financial literacy, we decided to take part in the University of Auckland SavY programme for school leavers.

Founded in April 2008, SavY has built up strong relationships with more than 20 schools in the Auckland region. It is a student led programme run out of the University of Auckland Business School with current university student mentors presenting sessions on budgeting and financial commitments that prospective tertiary students may face. Our students were challenged to consider their future needs and wants and to decide on their best personal options to maintain their financial security.

In Term 2 Solomon Youth Transition Services invited our school to join a programme they provide for students over 16 years. All Year 12 and 13 students were invited to attend a short seminar on financial literacy (yr12) or

time management (yr13). At each presentation they could enrol to receive ongoing individual mentor support from a Youth Worker until the age of 18 with a bonus of being eligible to receive a gift voucher on their successful passing of their current NCEA level qualification.

To culminate this programme, the Solomon group in conjunction with Niu FM and guest musicians staged a popular lunchtime pre-exam jam in the

school hall where students received an exam preparation package and numerous spot prizes.

As in past years, a number of students took the time and effort to apply for an ever increasing number of financial scholarships on offer for next year. Congratulations to all who were successful!
