PRINCIPALS REPORT Don’t count the days, make the days count (Mohammed Ali 1942-2016) Tena koutou I am proud and honoured to be writing the introduction to the Manurewa High School 2016 year book. Proud of all the many fantastic achievements of our students and staff that you will read about on the pages that follow and honoured to be the current Principal of our great school. Proud of the many examples of students and staff living our values of respect, excellence, whanaungatanga and akoranga. Honoured to be serving our wonderful and diverse community.

As I reflect on my first three terms as Principal, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Salvi Gargiulo and his leadership. Over the last six years Salvi has taken us a long way and has successfully shown so many people inside and outside our school that ‘together we achieve’ and that we can compete with anyone.

Our students achieve academically as well as in the arts, culture and sports.

Collectively the Board of Trustees, Senior Leadership Team and Staff all work hard so that our students leave us proud of who they are, where they come from and where they are going.

I take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank our Board of Trustees (pg 3), particularly our chair Steve Smith, for their governance and guidance along with our Senior Leadership Team (pg 5) - for the hours of work they put in as we all strive to achieve our 2016 charter goals of Improved Academic Achievement,

Improved Cultural Identity and More students taking positive career steps after school.

There have been so many highlights throughout the year, I just want to specifically mention a couple.

We now have a student leadership model based on service leadership which is open to all our students. This year we have had over 160 students across all year levels serving our school through a range of student councils.

Our Future Problem Solvers; John Chen, Okesene Fatu, Aimee Lew and Aaron Lew. For a consecutive year the team placed first in the middle division of the Future Problem Solving National Competition, ensuring them an invitation to compete next year in the world finals in America.

To all our whanau, thank you for all the support you give to your children and please always understand how important your aroha and encouragement is. I would also like to thank our teachers and support staff on your behalf. We are so fortunate to have so many dedicated and passionate staff who spend so much time helping our students to achieve to their full potential.

Further appreciation is conveyed to our Business Academy Board led

by John Hynds and all of our business community who have been working with our students throughout the year.

Thanks to the generosity and support of our business partners, there are

a growing number of mentoring and employment opportunities for our students with such companies as Air New Zealand, Downer, Waste Management, EY and Hynds Group.

This involvement with our school has proven invaluable to the success of our students and we look forward to continuing the partnerships.

I hope you enjoy this year book as a record of the many days that have counted at Manurewa High School during 2016.

Special thanks to co-editors Adele Whittaker and Rangituhia Hollis.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES BOARD REPORT

It’s been a turbulent year for the board with the retirement of principal Salvatore Gargiulo in April, triennial elections in May, and appointing another deputy principal in between.

Congratulations to new principal Pete Jones and a warm welcome to deputy principal Lawrence Naicker.

When we weren’t signing resignation letters or appointing new staff, we helped send students to the Future Problem Solving summit in Michigan and the volleyball championship in Florida, USA. We look forward to the opening of the new marae and a business academy with the hope of bringing industry leaders into the school to offer quality pathways beyond graduation. Students are now achieving at or above national average which is unprecedented for

a school of our character. Members take great pride in the direction of our school and credit the wider community for your confidence.

We have a diverse board, which consists of a range of backgrounds and life experiences. Our student representative, John Chen, was elected in his first year after a spinetingling speech.

We would like to thank parents for taking part in the election and for your ongoing support in 2016. Festive greetings and a prosperous 2017!

FAREWELL MR GARGUILIO “Take your place in the world” To 2000 students, together on the field last Friday, our principal of the past six years expressed his gratitude for what they’d given to him and his family. “You’ve shaped the rest of my life. Anything I’ve done for you is minimal compared with what you have done for me and my family.”

Mr Gargiulo was referring to the special way that our community cares for each other, and their concern for fairness for all.

“Your attitude for life is the way the world can be saved.”

He says it is time for our students to take their place in the world. “Use your qualifications to represent your people in politics, the professions and business. You are good enough, and the world needs you.”

The most special dimension of his time as principal – surpassing many sporting, academic and arts successes – has been getting to understand our students. “Your families’ lives are far more important than cars and houses.

Your attitude has woken me up – and it’s woken up my friends too. You are very special. Thank You for enriching our lives.”

The future The next step for the Gargiulo family involves more time with each other, and a home base in Nelson.

Likely there will be a visit to Italy, his ancestral home, where there is the same great love for food and family that he has enjoyed in Manurewa.

“This will be the first time in 60 years that I have not got up and gone to school. It’s going to be different. I don’t really know what I will do but there will be some travel and spending time with the people I love.”

The Gargiulos have been a family at MHS, with wife Trish and daughter Anna both teaching here. Among many things, they have brought Italian culture to our school including quality coffee at Salvatore’s café, spaghetti bolognaise at sports after-matches, and pizza from wood-fired ovens for school functions. They even brought over their friend an opera-singing chef, Carlo, to prepare prima feasts for farewell events.

The next step for Manurewa High School is to welcome our next Principal, Pete Jones, on the first day of Term 2.

“Mr Jones has the aim to lift this school and take it from good to great.

He’s a special man and I’m delighted he’s taking over.”

An “amazing day” Salvatore Gargiulo’s last day was perfectly timed as it was also the end of International Week, when our cultural groups perform for whanau.

Repeating their Polyfest performances four times to four whanau, the Samoan, Niuean, Tongan and Cook Island groups earned a good lunch, and huge applause.

After lunch, there was a wholeschool assembly on the field, where the Kapa Haka group performed and led a 2000-strong haka that must have shook the whole of Manurewa.

As students headed off for the term break, staff gathered for a farewell, sharing insights of the progress that’s

been made under Salvi’s principalship, and a few tears.

Sarah and Aleesha’s towering Italian cake cheered us up.

Staff also performed a haka and presented gifts of pounamu to Salvi and Trish. The sports co’s, Mel and Maggie, gave a showcase of waka ama, rugby and volleyball shirts. There was also a Liverpool scarf, presented

by Pete Jones, perhaps to be worn when Salvi returns on his promised visits.

Salvi told staff: “The school is in good shape, and that’s not done without a whole team effort. It has never been difficult to energise this staff, and I’d really like to acknowledge your hard work.”

He also acknowledged the value of supporters from outside the school, including John and Leonie Hynds.

“There’s a lot of goodwill towards this school from people who realise that education is the way to eliminating poverty.”

STAFF FAREWELLS MR FLYNN

MRS TRACEY GREENWOOD

“I must start with an apology to my Year 9s and my colleagues. I snuck away from Rewa without saying a proper goodbye. At the time, I felt it was the right thing to do but in hindsight, I realise it made it look like I just didn’t care! This couldn’t be further from the truth!

To my Year 9s (and past Year 9s) thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your journey transitioning into the Rewa family. You place a lot of trust in us teachers and I hope I lived up to and met your expectations! Please continue to challenge yourselves and others (in respectful ways), to step out of your comfort zones and to reach for

your ‘far horizons’.

To my colleagues - thank you so much for allowing me to grow, for challenging me and for all your continuous support!

I have learnt so much from the wonderful people at Rewa both personally and professionally and for that I am grateful.

I leave Manurewa High School to join the foundation staff at Ormiston Junior College but keep in mind, I have left Rewa once before and couldn’t stay away so I view this not as a ‘goodbye’ but as a ‘see you later’!

Much love, Tracey Greenwood”

Mr Flynn left at the end of term two.

He was part of the Science learning area and the Digital and Visual Arts learning area. Mr Flynn taught physics and was the forerunner of the robotics program here. He was a very passionate teacher and developed an amazing new curriculum for the robotics students all the way through to Year thirteen. He has moved on to run his own digital department at Waiuku College.

He will be sorely missed by staff and students.

MRS AMY BARRON

I feel incredibly blessed to have spent the last two years working at Manurewa High School. This has become a second home for me and the staff and students here have become like family. I will be forever grateful for the experiences I have had here in the classroom, with the Girls 1st XV, the HALP trip to Cambodia and all of the other trips and days that I have been involved in. I have learnt so much about myself, teaching, other cultures and the world during my time here and I go forward with a richer understanding and appreciation of life and people.

Saying goodbye is always difficult and while I am excited about the adventures ahead, I know there will always be a place in my heart for MHS.

I know that the staff and students here will continue on to exceed all expectations and show the world what they are capable of.

MR SAM HARRIS

I am taking a year off teaching in 2017 to go and explore the UK and Europe with my fiancé. As a first generation kiwi, I am yet to go and explore the part of the world my whanau come from and feel blessed that I have been approved to take a year of leave by the Board of Trustees to do so. While I am away I will be catching up with family, backpacking around different countries, and nerding out over all of the History in that part of the world.

I will be keeping in touch with my students throughout the year. If you would like to check out what I am up to feel free to follow me on twitter: @S_HarrisNZ Have a great 2017 and I will see you all in 2018! Mr Harris

MRS KIRTI LAL

The Mathematics Department hosted its staff to a memorable dinner recently in order to farewell former colleague Kirti Lal, a veteran teacher with twenty-six years of dedicated service to the school. Kirti first joined MHS in 1990 and finally left it in Term 2 of this year, leaving behind a vacuum hard to surmount.

During her tenure, Kirti worked tirelessly towards developing more effective teaching and learning resources for the department, besides promoting the cultural aspects she considered important for our

MRS SWATI PATEL

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.

Martin Luther King, Jr. This year has been an emotional struggle as it is really hard to leave a place that you call home. After 7.5 years at Manurewa High School I decided that it was time to explore other options and to get out of my comfort zone. This change has been difficult as I find myself constantly comparing and reminiscing. Most days I find myself randomly singing ‘Piki Atu Ki Te Rangi’ and miss the powerful assemblies and Friday Waiata. I deeply miss my students and my form class KPL. I miss the

students. An exemplary lead teacher, she worked collegially in sharing her helpful expertise with others.

She upgraded her learning through continual professional development in numeracy and other relevant courses.

Always disciplined in her formidable work efforts, Kirti spent selfless long hours in relentlessly motivating her students to work more diligently. The consequent academic progress of those students has left an indelibly pleasing mark on them.

We wish Kirti all the very best for the future.

coolest English department where our conversations enlighten and amuse.

English teachers definitely have one of hardest jobs. English is where our students are challenged to think critically and question. To really dig deep into the symbolic meanings to give you the power of perspective.

There are definite perks of working at Manurewa High School, for example, students stopping you and singing a song for you or offering you their food. Students advancing to help carry something or opening the door and never asking for anything in return. Students asking if I am okay and if is there is anyone that needs ‘sorting out.’ So many amusing stories regarding classes and students and I

know for sure that, I definitely have better work stories.

I am proud that I have been part of a genuine and successful school. I carry with me a bundle of knowledge that has everything that I need on my new journey. Rewa is my home and I know I will always be popping in to say hi. To the incredible staff - keep on investing, and keep on loving as you do every day. Thank you so much for all your friendship and guidance.

To my students - I know I will see you around and I look forward to hearing stories of your success. I am still a South Auckland girl so I know I will be hearing “Sup Ms Patel” next time I am at Manukau Mall. Piki Atu Ki Te Rangi

MRS ANDREA BOSSENGER

After 11 years Mrs Bossenger has decided to move on to greener pastures, literally, a home with green pastures outside of Hamilton. She has immensely enjoyed the time at Manurewa High School and the many opportunities it has offered her. In her time in the Social Science Learning Area she was lucky to participate in many fieldtrips all over the North Island of New Zealand, and even some to Fiji, Cambodia, Vietnam and even China. She was lucky to work in a fantastic supportive learning area which allowed her the growth to spend the last 18 months as a deputy principal, working with the wonderful senior leadership team and many of the staff.

In her time at the school Mrs Bossenger has enjoyed the many different opportunities to work with students both in and out of the classroom, and has enjoyed the many laughs and fun times that have occurred with both students and staff, and will take away many fond memories. She will miss Manurewa High School, but realises like many staff, as Mr Gargiulo stated MHS is a bit like the Hotel California, ‘you may check out but you can never leave’, and she is sure she will be back, as any good geographer can tell you, contrary to the average Aucklander’s opinion, Hamilton is not the end of the earth.

STUDENT LEADERS “The true leader serves. Serves people. Serves their best interests, and in doing so will not always be popular, may not always impress. But because true leaders are motivated by loving concern rather than a desire for personal glory, they are willing to pay the price.” Sulani Helg and Niko Moala

12

Manurewa High School has been both a blessing and a privilege to have been a part of. Our first day of High School doesn’t feel too long ago now.

How nervous we must’ve felt about a new school, filled with new people and a completely new set of challenges.

But of the many things Manurewa High School has taught us over the years, one that stands out for us is having both the perseverance and fortitude to overcome adversity of any form.

The successes of Manurewa High School, academically, in the arts or on the sports field can only be attributed to those who make our school such a unique place to be a part of, the amazing teachers as well as the student body. The year for us both has been hugely rewarding, but of course like any journey, it was also filled with challenges. Of the many experiences we’ve had at Manurewa High School, the honour of being elected as the Head Boy and Head Girl will leave the greatest impression on us both. As we learnt the greatest act of leadership came from the way we conducted ourselves for the rest of the student body to follow each and every day. We both feel that the ‘servant leadership’ model that has been introduced for the coming years fits the positive direction our school is headed perfectly. Where every student is provided with the opportunity to become a leader, no matter the year level. This year proved that our age should not determine whether we can be a leader. Young or old, we are all destined to lead.

We would like to thank the Student Councils and their Lead Teachers for 2016, who worked hard and were dedicated to serving our school and community through service leadership.

From organising the numerous Pasifika Language weeks, Kids Can Fundraisers and environmental cleanup days, to organising the School Ball, Whanau Hui, and the Well-being Expo. Our student councils have gone out of their way to give. Give

their time, effort, and energy. This is what service leadership is about.

Giving without wanting anything in return. Adjusting to the new Student Leadership system was a challenge for many of our students as it was quite difficult to move away from the norm of having Prefects. However, I am proud to say that we have created a new tradition at Manurewa High School where leadership is no longer about enforcing discipline, but about serving others. It is about ensuring that service leadership continues when we are no longer here. It is our legacy that we leave behind for the coming generations. Leading from the back and the front. The purpose of this new system is to reveal a ripple effect of selfless leaders from all year levels who are ready to lead when we do finally leave High School. That has become a reality this year and we hope to see it continue in the future.

Fa’afetai tele lava.

To the staff, thank you for ensuring that we lived the REWA way and always provided us with different opportunities, opportunities that we wouldn’t find anywhere else. To the SLT, thank you for your continuous support and encouragement throughout the year. We appreciate everything that you have done for us. A special thank you to Mr Jones and Mr Guargillio for always believing in us and for creating

the new service leadership system. It only takes one idea for greatness to prevail. Last but not least, thank you to an inspirational woman who is filled with so much Mana and Aroha, Whaea Barbs. Thank you for always being at the forefront of our Student Councils and school, motivating them to think like 21st Century intellectuals and leaders. The endless hours and work that you have put into this has not gone unnoticed. To (Head Girl 2017) and (Head Boy of 2017), we know that you both possess many admirable attributes which make you two more than capable of leading Manurewa High School in 2017. We hope that you both fulfil this role wholeheartedly and continue to serve our school and community.

To the students of Manurewa High School, we hope to see you all fulfilling your passion and we look forward to hearing of your achievements.

Remember where you come from and who you are. At the end of the day high school is preparing you for your future. Manurewa High School strives for their students to live the REWA values, Respect, Excellence, Whanaunataga and Akoranga.

Through service leadership, an openmind and the right attitude, you are living the REWA value and preparing for your future.

LEADERSHIP IN ACTION In 2016, student leadership at Manurewa High School was redefined with the introduction of a Service Leadership model and team based approach. The new model gave opportunity for students across all year levels to lead and contribute positively to our school and wider community.

The introduction of the model was initially met with some reluctance.

However, throughout the year, the work of student councils contributed to the development of a new leadership mindset amongst students and staff.

There is no longer as great of concern for titles and badges and students are instead more focused on leadership action that creates positive change.

In 2016, 163 student leaders contributed to the make up of 11 different school councils. These councils provided a space for student voice to be shared and a platform for councils to lead the following iniatitives and events.

PB4L COUNCIL New rewards assembly approach Student survey (10% school) WHANAU COUNCIL Rose day Ball organisation Assembly facilitation /support Leavers gear Leavers dinner SAC day support SPORT COUNCIL Health Expo COMMUNITY COUNCIL World Vision Youth Conference Poppy Day-selling in school for RSA ANZAC Day celebrations in Manurewa Youth Parliament at Alfriston Collegevoicing youth concerns 40 hour Famine- World Vision Workshop at school Kidzcan Mufti Day New Zealand Peace Week celebrations Helped with SAC conferences ARTS COUNCIL Arts week Art Exhibition International Week WELL-BEING COUNCIL Orange shirt day Pink shirt day Health Expo ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL

These hui provided an opportunity for student leaders to meet as a collective and discuss strategies, skills and practices that could assist their own leadership development.

Looking forward to 2017, it is hoped that the new servant leadership model will continue to grow, engaging more students across a wider range of councils to positively affect change in our school and wider community.

“Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence” (Sandberg, 2013).

Healthy reward for champion of Breakfast Club Sulani has been a

driving force of the Breakfast Club since she started at MHS in Year 9.

The club is totally student led, and with good routines, Sulani says the student leaders achieve their aims of creating a positive, welcoming place, where students are helped to develop confidence in their abilities, over a nutritious breakfast.

Sulani is keen for students to become involved in leadership of the club. “Follow your heart and get involved,” she says.”The thing you get out of it is the fact you have contributed to feeding your peers, and helping them improve their results. Through

the whole process, you learn that in giving, you receive.”

The Kickstart Breakfast is supported

by Government, with cereal provided

by Santiarium, and milk by Anchor (Fonterra),

POWERING POTENTIAL

Timothy Dreadon (12KAN) has been selected to attend the Royal Society of New Zealand event, Powering Potential.

The forum takes place in Wellington from 12th to 15th December, and is a fully funded opportunity including flights, accommodation at the Copthorne hotel, meals as well as all the activity fees.

Only students from Year 12 and 13 with a proven passion for Science are selected. The event has been designed to challenge students and enhance their problem solving, team building and communication skills. Not only will Tim meet many like-minded students from around New Zealand,

he will also develop networks with his peers as well as scientists. The forum values those who can think outside the square, and who are divergent thinkers able to tackle the issues of the future. To this end Tim will be working with an expert mentor to help him develop these skills which is, in itself, a valuable opportunity. Tim has been warned that the event forces students to step outside their comfort zone, and will be “hard work” – yet he remains typically undaunted.

We wish him the best of luck and look forward to hearing of his experiences when he returns in 2017.

Tim will be an excellent ambassador for our school.

BACK WITH GOLD FROM SOUTH AFRICA

14

From their successes at the World Karate Championship 2016 in Capetown, South Africa, Rosemary Pokoati and Tuki Kamana-Pou clearly have a great future in the martial arts.

Rosemary won Gold in her division 16-17 age for the Kata. Winning the Kata is a supreme accolade as it shows complete understanding of the concept of Karate. Rosemary has been training and competing for 11 years.

There were 15 competitors in her division, from Mexico, Germany,

South Africa, Australia, Uruguay. She is believed to be the first Cook Islander to win at worlds, and first in her club, TSKF Manukau. It is the first gold for her club since forming in the 1970s.

Rosemary also won two bronze medals in the 16-17 age teams – the NZ team for Kata and NZ/Australian team for Kumite.

Tuki won Gold in the 16-19 Men’s division for Kumite. This is the first Worlds he has attended, and he has been training and competing for nine years.

Iavana discovers his biggest stage yet

You might recognise Iavana Seuala as the beaming, opening face on the popular ‘Manurewa Is My Home’ video, produced by the Manurewa Local Board.

Only in Year 11, with a fastdeveloping career, Iavana has also MC’d the Prime Minister’s Pacific Youth Awards, performed for the Vodafone Pacific Music Awards, and MC’d Manurewa High School’s Big Day In conferences for 900 Year 9 and 10 students.

All are big occasions, but his most challenging so far has been his most recent, performing at the TED-X Manukau conference in June. In front of 100 guests, the TED performance

has potential for an online audience in the millions.

“It was nerve-wracking for me and my family. But I’m very happy with how it went. People came up to me afterwards and said they found it very moving and inspirational. There’s nothing better for a speaker to be told.”

Iavana discovered his passion for public speaking and performance at Manurewa Intermediate School.

Supported by his family and his manager and agent, Iavana’s talent has created great opportunities. He says that he has also found that in focusing on one skill, he has become better at others. Apart from speaking, his interests are the performing arts,

Honours for students in St John

Two students, Katie Lowry and Melissa Wu, have gained the honour of being named the St John District Cadet of the Year, known as a ‘DCoty’.

Katie, in Year 12, is DCoty for the St John Counties District, while Melissa, Year 10, is DCoty for the Manukau District.

Both students have a passion for the St John Cadet Programme, which they say has helped them to develop as leaders who serve, and understand people. They are both part of the school leadership programme as well – Katie on the Sports Council and Melissa on the Wellbeing Council.

Katie is the third generation of her family to serve in St John. Her mum, Sue, has worked as a paramedic and now runs a schools programme. Her grandparents, Murray and Lesley Guptill, are actively involved.

Melissa found her way into St John through the example of older brothers and sisters.

The programme has a focus on first aid, healthcare, leadership and general life skills. There are classes once a week, and activities on weekends.

There are a large number of cadets, and winning the DCoty award is highly valued. Well done Katie and Melissa!

Social historians’ essay-writing

Budding historians Timothy Dreadon (Year 12), Jade Heke (Year 10) and Hannah Jayne Rodokal (Year 13) have helped to ensure the many talents of MHS students are deservedly in the spotlight.

With their own initiative, the three students entered an essaywriting competition promoted by the Manurewa RSA and generously supported by the Manurewa Local Board. Timothy’s essay took top prize, with an award of $2200. Jade’s essay was First Runner-Up, with a prize of $1200, and Hannah Jayne was one of seven finalists, and won $50.

The focus for the essays was related to World War One centenary commemorations. The students have

his U17 basketball team, and Media Studies.

He is an inspiring, motivated young man who has used the journey of his grandparents from Samoa and his parents’ hard work to inspire him to succeed.

“I’m hoping my talent will take me far. I want to provide for my family and community.”

Rockerz

Congratulations to the Rockerz Dance Group which came Second Runner-Up in the 2016 Bollywood competiion, and also won the award for best male dancer (Rahil Chand).

The crew has been working hard all year, evolving from Polyfest into Rockerz rehearsals.

In addition to performing, they’ve also been working hard to fundraise for their stunning costumes.

The Rockerz 2016 crew upholds a tradition of excellence in performing arts at Manurewa High School. They also maintain an excellent track record of success in the competition itself, says teacher in charge Gurpreet Kaur.

MHS has won the award for best male dancer for the past three years, and as a school has been placed in the top three for the past four years. In 2016, there were 16 schools participating in the event.

“The students are very passionate and motivated to do well in this competition. It’s great for them, and their supporters, to have been placed highly once again.”

been invited to be part of the Manurewa wreath ceremony on Anzac Day, and Timothy will read his essay at an RSA function following the ceremony.

ARCHIVES I started my teaching career at MHS in 1964 and this year was invited to lunch with a group of students from the 1960s. My first reaction on receiving this invitation was to wonder how these ex-students managed to get time off work to attend a school reunion, but then I did some mathematics and realised that since most of them started at the school in 1962 they would all be aged 67 or over, people, like myself, on the old age pension, and therefore retired.

Several of them found it hard to call me David, rather than Mr Voisey!

Amongst the group was Peter Lucas, who was Head Boy in 1967.

Peter’s parents were both on the school staff, his father, Norm Lucas, in the Technical Department, and his mother, Betty Lucas was the first school nurse, a job she did for her

first year without pay. Betty retired in 1985, the year of the school’s Silver Jubilee. The photo of long-serving staff (20 years or more) appeared in the Jubilee booklet. Both Betty and I were in the photo.

Sadly, Betty passed away this year, aged 94.

BUSINESS ACADEMY The Business Academy is developing well as a hub within our school. This year we have been focusing on: • Business Partnerships • Alumni Connections • Fundraising • Working with the Ministry of Education to finalise plans for a new building. We are cautiously excited that the Ministry will approve the project to begin in July 2017.

• Developing programmes that provide business context and experiences for all students.

• Developing our governance.

Our founding chair is John Hynds, a past student. He has created a strong board of experienced businesspeople to guide our strategy and encourage our work.

The feedback we get from business and alumni is that our vision to develop creative, enterprising and entrepreneurial capability in students is very much required.

16

We’re looking forward to a big year in 2017!

One of the partnerships we are working on is with the business advisory firm EY. It runs the Entrepreneur of the Year Awards, and some students have been able to attend this event.

ALUMNI CONNECTIONS It’s pretty impressive what our past students do! Here’s some of the ways they have supported the school in 2016.

Jordan Ikitule Jordan spoke to a Year 10 Science class to support a learning Inquiry theme on Future Focus. He shared that he was someone who did not take learning at school seriously and was not motivated to learn and achieve. However, he had an awakening moment upon becoming a young father, where he was hit with responsibilities for supporting a growing family. Jordan went on to gain qualifications in the business and finance sector and is now working at Westpac Bank in mortgage financing.

Anne Todd Anne is a senior associate at Inder Lynch Lawyers. She spoke with a group of students who are interested in studying law at university. Anne has specialised in family law. Her career has taken her to the United Nations, where she spoke to a committee about New Zealand’s de facto property legislation.

Daniel Burgess Dan provided support to the Science students who entered the Sink or Swim competition. He works as a design engineer for Methven and his knowledge of CAD and 3D printing was very helpful.

Raymond Sagapolutele Raymond visited a senior Photography class, and presented some of the work from his years as an editorial, commercial, concert and street photographer. He said the students were a great audience and asked relevant and well thought out questions in relation to technique, environment and social dynamics.

He was impressed and lifted by the enthusiasm and skill of the students.

Mark Young Mark was one of many alumni saddened at the passing of Classics teacher Paul Lees in 2014. His offer to create a Classics prize as a memorial to Paul was very much appreciated.

Classics teacher Ben Doyle welcomed Mark into his class to present the

trophy, and share some memories.

The first recipient will be named at senior Prize Giving in December.

BP Business Challenge 2016 It’s always great to have alumni as judges for this annual Year 11 competition. It creates a very strong connection for our students to know that the people judging them have been in their shoes once. This year we welcomed: •Toni Robins - Owner NZ Home Loans Hillpark franchise •Andrea Bates - Team Co-ordinator NZ Story - NZ Trade & Enterprise •Chris George - CEO of Burns & Ferrall •Oz Jabur - Manager - Product Strategy at Sush Mobile Sport 90s era alumni took on our volleyball and basketball boys. Both games were played with great spirit, and the boys showed supreme skills.

Big Day In 2016 Helping our Year 9 and 10s to grow their mindsets for learning and life were a number of role-model alumni.

This year we welcomed: •Eros Malele, EdTech Educator at The Mind Lab Unitec.

•Mele Tapueluelu, Helen Lesa and Lupe Fifita - from the 412 FOR YOUTH INITIATIVE. 412 aims to empower young people to succeed above and beyond the commonalities of a South Auckland Teen. They do this by running events and workshops customised to suit the youth.

•Jacinta Talia’uli and Ryan King.

Jacinta and Ryan had a strong vision for their lives after high school. Ryan graduated in Commerce from the University of Auckland in 2015, while Jacinta is in her third year. They encourage students to be community minded, but with a global perspective.

•Jasmine Jenke, who works as a Journalist and Photographer at Middlemore Hospital. She is the founder of the Humans of South Auckland Facebook page (and soonto-be-a-book).

Mentors building self-belief Jaspreet Singh has worked out that he’s our only alumni studying medicine at the University of Auckland currently, and he wants the company of more MHS students. That aim became action with the development of a new mentoring programme, Foster Our Future, which connects past students studying at university or recently graduated, with current students.

COMMERCE ECONOMICS

Economics overall is a very enjoyable class where you get to learn more about the different functions of an economy and its different policies etc.

A lot of people think that Economics is primarily about how money flows within a country, but it also includes different aspects of human life as Economics is used by the government to make decisions that’ll impact our society. In our 03 Economics class this year, we were able to fly to Wellington to visit the RBNZ (Reserve Bank New Zealand) and the BeeHive, to learn more about how money flows within New Zealand and other countries. We also were given an opportunity to have talks with advisors from the University of Auckland, who specifically came to our class and talked to us about what future pathways we were going to take regarding Commerce and their Business school. Overall, Economics is a great subject, and I would advise other students to take this subject in the future.

TRIP TO WELLINGTON

It was an amazing experience, it gave us a feel of what its like to work in Parliament. We had a tour of Parliament house as well as the Reserve Bank, we discussed the new development of the bank notes and got an insight of how the reserve bank is operated.

In the parliament house we discussed as a group how the government operates. We also gained a lot of knowledge about the resources that are used within the government. During the tour we experienced where the politics occur and discovered rooms that some of the workers don’t even know of.

Overall the tour of the Parliament house was amazing and it gave us an insight to how it feels to work for the government. This experience was

helpful towards our careers because we had developed some knowledge of how the government operates and the skills we need in order to be employed within the government.

My experience from the Wellington trip helped me further my knowledge of Economics as we went to the Reserve Bank and Parliament. From these trips, I have learnt new things such as having an Economics degree can help you to become a member of parliament and that the exchange rate is always changing, whenever currencies are being exchanged.

However, I felt that our trip could have been better if we stayed overnight to gain more knowledge and stayed in the Reserve Bank and Parliament for a longer time.

MONETARY POLICY CHALLENGE

Monetary policy challenge was a great way for us to learn the different components that are included in the policy and why they are so important.

It was very hard as most of the information was new for us. This challenge made us all incorporate our ideas and our economic knowledge together to form a masterpiece. It prepared us for the future. It enhanced our economic thinking which helped us to understand the housing market a lot better. The policy challenge will also help us in our assessments therefore in a way doing this challenge was a benefit for us even though it was hard and challenging.

GUESTS IN OUR SCHOOL

Kirsten Patterson – country manager Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand Kirsten inspired our Year 13 students talking to Economics, Accounting and Business Studies about how they are making a great career choice in business.

“There are 30,000 Chartered Accountants in New Zealand, and there isn’t a single organisation or business that doesn’t have a CA working in it. What that tells you is that being a CA is a great career choice.

It gives you skills to work in whatever your passion is.”

One student asked her if business is positive for the world. Kirsten says yes, because it enables communities to have independence. “The workforce

SAVY

SavY aims to promote good financial habits in all youth, regardless of their background or aspirations in life. They believe that good financial habits should be promoted alongside other similar life skills currently taught in schools.

They hope to initiate a change in attitudes, where financial literacy is viewed more as a habit rather than a skill. The charitable trust is designed to enhance the financial literacy of youth in New Zealand by providing greater access to information and resources.

To do this, they run FREE, hourlong financial literacy workshops in secondary schools - the workshops are fun and interactive as they are presented by two trained young facilitators (who are either University of Auckland or AUT students). SavY then aims to provide continuing support to the students that take part in our workshops through their website and their facebook page. They hope that access to such information will help change spending behaviour and encourage better decision making.

of the future – people like you – want to work for organisations that have purpose. Business has to respond to that. In the 1980s, business was about making money. Now it is about serving a purpose.”

Kirsten shared her own life story from school through university where she studied law. Her part-time job at McDonalds, while she was studying, proved to be one of the best learning experiences in her career. It taught her how to be a good employee, take instruction, and work with management systems.

Through different roles, including working for a bus company and the NZ Rugby Football Union, Kirsten has become good at negotiation. She encouraged students to be prepared

to negotiate everything – including their pay. “If you don’t ask, you won’t get.” This is especially important for females because the research shows right from their first five years working, they earn less than what males earn.

The pay gap between men and women is now 11.5%, and Kirsten is part of a group of business leaders who are working hard to level this. The same group is also making changes for more diversity in New Zealand business, which will lead to more opportunities for our students and their families in the future.

Kirsten advised students when making choices about their careers to work for businesses that would support them. “You have to set yourself up to support your family,” she says.

DRAMA Whoa! 2016 has been a busy year for the Drama Learning Area at Manurewa High School. Miss Thomas has taken a year off and her bubbly energy has been missed in E9! Mrs Alatini has picked up some Drama classes this year and her Drama expertise has been welcomed. There has been some fantastic performance work across all year levels and it is a privilege to work with students to develop their confidence and harness and develop their talents.

•Senior students have had the opportunity to see a diverse number of performances in a variety of spaces this year – ‘The Wholehearted’ at Mangere Arts Centre and ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ at the Civic Theatre. A small group of students also went to watch ‘Romeo and Juliet’ at the Pop-up Globe.

•Level 2 Drama performed ‘Love and Information’ by Caryl Churchill and for many students this was their first opportunity to perform in front of an audience.

•Level 3 Drama performed ‘Wheeler’s Luck’ by Damon Andrews, Nigel Collins and Toby Leach. PIPA also came in and ran a workshop with them for an afternoon, which was a great opportunity for those looking to continue on in the Performing Arts at tertiary level.

•Sean Randal took the opportunity to work with the Auckland Theatre Company operating the lighting in the Next Big Thing season of ‘Shoulda Woulda Coulda’ at the Basement Theatre.

•A Theatresports group was started.

The team gained a lot of knowledge and confidence playing teams from schools around Auckland. It is pleasing that their hard work paid off with them being awarded the Most Improved Team from the Theatresports Youth Programme.

•A group of talented students devised and led Stage Challenge in collaboration with the Dance department.

Special thanks to Mrs Telford for all of her support in helping the department run efficiently. We are all looking forward to another full on, creative and fun year in the Drama Leanring Area in 2017! Ms Reid

SCIENCE SCIENCE FAIR

This year we had seven students representing our school, each with a unique and interesting project.

The selected representatives were: 1.Andre Yalda with an electronicssoftware project on damp homes 2.Dania Shafiq with an investigation into the gut flora of home-made vs. commercial yoghurts 3.River de Prinse with a project looking at the use of degrees of coffee roasting and its effects on plant growth 4.Prabhjot Kaur with her project about model magnetic trains and factors improving power 5.Aimen Sana with an investigation into nitrate contamination of Pukekohe boreholes 6.Namisha Chand with a project looking at the feasibility of DIY double glazing 7.Rida Basharat with an investigation into the potential uses of Aloe Vera gel as a tooth protector At Prize Giving, two of our students were called up to the stage. Dania was awarded 3rd in Senior Science for her project on gut flora, fermentation and yoghurt

Andre did extremely well- he got 4 awards: 1.First in category- Senior Science 2.IET Innovation Award -Senior Award 3.Best Use of Statistics Award 4.Special Award- Best Year 12 Innovation, Invention or Investigation His awards come with a tidy financial gain.

Andre’s project is a design he built to detect rising humidity levels in a home, it then will buzz to alert residents, and simultaneously will send a text message to resident and also landlord.

He also tested many interventions

such as fans, opening a window, putting on a heater or dehumidifier to see which interventions were most effective in different rooms and in what timespan a timely intervention would work. He had to teach himself not only electronics but also coding so he could programme his microprocessor to react and send texts.

At the same PrizeGiving, our laboratory technician, Liz Palmer, was honoured for all her years of dedicated service to Science Fair as a committee member – well done Liz! Mrs F Colyer

ROTARY NATIONAL SCIENCE FORUM Two promising senior students have been selected to attend the 2 week long Rotary National Science forum, well done to both Namisha Chand and Andre Yalda.

This programme is for OUTSTANDING all round science,

22

maths and technology students in Year 12 who will be returning to school in Year 13 and are planning to study the sciences or technology at tertiary level.

This fully residential programme is conducted by Rotary and the Tertiary Institutions of Auckland. By the end of the Forum students should have a 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.

It also provides an

opportunity for high achieving students to spend time with similar minded people and the experiences gained invariably result in overall personal growth and a renewed motivation to succeed Andre will attend the New Zealand Forum in Auckland and Namisha is one of just six students countrywide, chosen to represent New Zealand at the Australian National Science Forum, and will fly to Canberra as our ambassador. Both students will attend in the school break, January 2017.

We are proud of their success in selection and look forward to hearing their reports next year. I know both of them will make full use of this promising opportunity.

On September 9th a group of Year 11 girls as well as Mrs Barron and Mrs Sharma had the opportunity to attend the L’Oreal Girls in Science Forum.

This day is designed to encourage young women to pursue careers in science and for some of the top female scientists in New Zealand to share their research and their experience in Science. We were also taken on a tour of some of the Science laboratories at the University of Auckland. Our tour leader was a past student at MHS and shared her experiences with us. We visited the photon lab where scientists were working with lasers to solve a variety of problems in New Zealand industries as well as the chemistry and geology labs.

Thanks to L’Oreal for putting on this awesome event for us!

BIOLOGY CAMP

This year the Biology Department held a week long camp at the Waharau Regional Park from the 11th to the 15th of April. There were four Level 2 Biology classes, with around 100 students. The Biology camp involved the coverage of two internal Achievement Standards, investigating stratification and succession processes in a New Zealand forest ecosystem.

The students actively participated in the different activities which related to collecting and analysing data; drawing and interpreting graphs; and presenting their findings in a formal written assessment worth eight internal NCEA credits.

The teacher in charge of the organisation for this camp was Mrs Kaajal Devi-Govind (HOS Biology).

The camp was a huge success and the students performed well in both the Achievement Standards. I am also grateful for the staff who accompanied the students on camp to ensure that camp ran smoothly – Mrs A. Barron, Mr M. Soriano, Mrs C. Flynn and Mrs L. Palmer.

I look forward to another successful Biology camp in 2017.

ENGLISH THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT - GIVE THEM A MEDAL 2016 has been a massive year for the Manurewa High School English Learning Area.

The Rio Olympics, the US elections, and record-setting levels of learning have made for a year of ups and downs, a game of many halves.

The mighty waka that is the MHS English team began 2016 with changes. Ms Patel was consigned to the bench permanently, while new faces joined the ranks.

The year began slowly.

Mr Laurenson took a while to recover from a setback in February after he was mistaken for a prematurely-aging Year 9 and sent to the deans’ office for incorrect uniform.

The opening ceremony was also marred by humiliation after Ms Winslade again tried to kiss an official who attempted to greet her with a hongi. Speaking to an associate, she was overheard to say, “I just don’t know whether to kiss or hongi!”

A glance at the medal count speaks to the turn-around won through hard work.

2016 Medal Count: -Ms Flynn broke the sound barrier with her teacher voice, shattering her own record to win Gold for a second consecutive year.

-Mr Wensley won Gold in patience through listening to Real-Housewivesof-Auckland-staffroom-chat with little or no training in the category.

-Mr Oldham won yet another Gold

in the Best English Teacher category, building on his already outstanding early-career record (this was written

by Mr Oldham).

-Ms Winslade won Bronze in the End-of-Term Teaching Category for accidentally packing up her classroom two days early in Term 3.

-Mrs Chandra won Silver for giving out an astronomical 4000 hours of detention to help students.

The English Department’s performance in the annual games has made for happy punters at home.

Spectators have taken to social media to describe the English Department as “great”.

In the words of one student: “English is my favourite subject. If it wasn’t for English, my life would have less purpose.”

In a poll conducted last month, an astonishing 94 percent of senior MHS students named English as their favourite subject.

Other departments were humble about the English clean sweep.

While the English Department staff were the real winners, students also did OK. NCEA pass rates for internals were higher than last year, and students participated well in the September practice exams.

Year 10 students derived a special satisfaction from their speeches. As one student put it, “there is nothing I like more than giving a speech to a

room full of my high school peers”.

Students could be seen performing Shakespeare, producing vivid descriptive writing, writing letters to government bodies, and preparing thoroughly before all of Mrs Bawdekar’s lessons.

Team captain, Ms Frayling, whose autobiography Chasing Coffee will be released in 2017, captured the spirit of the year in her interview with Manurewa High School magazine: “I’m too busy to give an interview,” she said. “Go away”.

Frayling would also like to thank the ladies in the kitchen.

Farewell to Mr Martin McAllen, DP and line manager of English.

SOCIAL SCIENCE HISTORY

History at MHS has had its biggest year ever. This year we have more classes, more students and more teachers than before!

Students in History have had a blast exploring the past through amazing field trips and guest speakers.

Year 13 History classes had an incredible time in the Bay of Islands exploring our nations heritage despite having to brave a tropical storm.

Despite the wind and rain, students got out and about exploring the Waitangi Treaty Grounds and were given the opportunity to be some of the first visitors to explore the new Museum at the Treaty Grounds. Year 13 Historians were also treated to a guest talk with US Ambassador Mark Gilbert about American History, The US Elections and his relationship with President Barrack Obama.

Year 12 Historians were privileged to attend a seminar with members of the Polynesian Panthers. Dr Melani Anae, Will ‘Ilolahia, Tigilau Ness, and Alec Toleafoa were founding members of the Polynesian Panthers, a Civil

Rights group who sought to address growing racist sentiment aimed toward the Maori and Polynesian community of New Zealand in the 1970’s. Not only were the Polynesian Panthers activists for minority groups in New Zealand, the Panthers also operated a range of community ventures seeking to improve the social welfare and political awareness of Pacific Island and Maori people. Students questioned the group on their view on past governments Eurocentric policies, specifically the racial profiling of Pasifika immigrants who may have overstayed their work visas.

Year 11 Historians were not left out this year with a trip to the Auckland Museum to explore the Battle of Gallipoli. While at the museum students were able to handle artefacts from the Battle of Gallipoli which was followed by a re-enactment of the Gallipoli Invasion on One Tree Hill.

2016 has been a great year for students and History and 2017 is set to be even better!

GOAT ISLAND MARINE RESERVE FIELD TRIP

On March the 1st - 3 Level 1 Geography classes travelled to Goat Island Marine Reserve, 90 km north of Auckland to study and apply geographical skills, from sketching précis maps, collecting data based on beach use density, as well as observing effects on the natural and cultural environment such as rubbish and vandalism.

The ability to view a natural environment from our own perspective was amazing and directed our learning within a place that was not the class room. In addition, we discovered the origins behind GIMR - spiritual relationships, its value to New Zealand and its inhabitants. The GIMR trip allowed us to gain new perspectives on how humans can affect the natural environment we live and what we can do to protect our natural environment.

Year 11 Geography has been filled with many great experiences in 2016, one of which was the Goat Island Marine Reserve Field Trip. In the beginning of the year we enjoyed a day filled with beautiful views, scuba diving, swimming, sand and education.

We went on a glass bottomed boat trip which allowed me see close up the huge number of marine life living within the Reserve. In the Discovery Learning Centre, we were given the opportunity to learn about how the creation of the Reserve has benefited local marine species. Overall the experience was amazing and was full of educational value as it gave me the ability to apply skills taught to a real situation.

Geography Rotorua Fieldtrip On August 17th our 03GEO students embarked on a three-day camp in Rotorua to observe real world examples of tourism development which helps us to reinforce the knowledge that we learnt in classroom.

On the first day of the field trip, we traveled by bus around the lakefront and through the city to observe the distribution of tourism features within central Rotorua. We were able to visit Rotorua Museum, learning about the history of Rotorua Tourism Development. We also had the opportunity to experience firsthand, a Maori cultural show and tour around the thermal village at Te Puia; observing the geothermal processes that created mud poosl and several geysers including the world famous Pohutu geyser that erupts about once every hour, which sends a column of steaming water up to almost 100 feet into the air.

On the second day, we visited the Sheep Show at the Agrodome to experience New Zealand’s unique attraction which brings overseas tourists to Rotorua. We did some field work along Fenton Street, looking at different patterns and the distribution of facilities and infrastructure. We also visited Kuirau Park to view the geothermal area there and then had a chance to get involved in some adventurous activities at Agro Adventures such as the swoop, jet boating and bungy jumping. The day finished with a nice little retreat after a hard working day at the Polynesian hot pools, the nature’s gift in Rotorua.

The last day in Rotorua, we got to experience some more fun activities

at Skyline-Skyrides. The Gondola ride took us to the top of Mt Ngongotaha to observe the surrounding beautiful view of Rotorua City and Lake Rotorua and also not to forget to do some field sketching while enjoying the fun activity of the Luge.

The trip was a huge success, with everyone enjoying it, while learning a new broad range of skills and knowledge and gaining experience of real world Geography.

Muriwai Fieldtrip social studies review

Geography has been an amazing this year as we have been able to interact and expand our knowledge by using our theory work taught in class out into the real world. By doing both theory and practical work, this has allowed us to develop skills such as team work as well as great positive relationships with our teachers. This year we went to Muriwai Beach where we saw a beautiful landscape and learned about the natural and cultural aspects that we have in New Zealand.

We can take these skills and knowledge learned in Geography this year to apply concepts to our everyday life which helps us to understand the world around us. Next year we encourage students to take Geography as it will really help people to gain confidence and build relationships with others.

But remember to bring life jackets and when life gives you lemons don’t throw them too far or else they won’t come back.

This year has seen our juniors again producing some terrific work in Social Sciences. During Term 3 we had our inaugural Social Studies Showcase event that gave every junior class a chance to display the best work they had completed over the year. 09AGS and 10PNK won the overall prize for evidence of learning with 09TWD and 10ABH for overall presentation.

Kids Voting this year too was a real occasion. For the first time this was completed digitally with all Year 9 students been given a personal logon code. Their voting for the Auckland mayoral candidate matched the general consensus with Phil Gough gaining most votes. We even had a TV crew visit us form TV3’s ‘The Nation’ programme. 09KDL and Mr Doyle made it onto our nation’s screens in September with Brodie Phillips proving to be a real star.

We have also been looking at new

NCEA Level 1 assessments we can run to support and reward learning in our classrooms. The ‘Describe a Social Justice and Human Rights Action’ NCEA assessment has been run for a number of years now and this year we trialled, with some success, the ‘Report on Personal Involvement in a Human Rights Action’. It allows learners not just to learn about injustices in our world but to take action themselves – important for all aspiring Social Scientists!

Finally, a look to the future. In 2017 we will move away from our traditional topics and deliver content through key Social Science concepts and skills development. So it’s farewell to topics such as ‘The World at Risk’ and ‘Getting There’ and hello to inquiry-led collaboration on any subject that the students are engaged by. Watch this space for how we get on.

The Chinese Zodiac has 2016 as the year of the monkey. Traits of curiosity evident in monkeys, mirrored maths teachers nurturing curiosity and inculcating inquiry thinking in our students.

The department experienced change during the year. In January we learned of the departure of Tevita Hufanga. Tevita had started his teaching career with us in 2011 and had always yearned to return to his Alma Mater, One Tree Hill College.

We appreciated his companionship over the last five years and wish him all the best as we follow his progress at his new school.

Masina Po’e-Tofaeono arrived from Papatoetoe High School. He took on the task of an Assistant HOLA. His awareness of other systems will ensure that over time he will make a considerable contribution. We may have to wait however, as his ability was recognised by the University of Auckland who have awarded him a Teaching Fellowship for 2017.

Lynee Tuputupu was welcomed back from maternity leave. Later in the year she took over some of the responsibilities in the department and showed her ability to multi-task and do several jobs at the same time.

Also joining us was Ryan Borthwick.

He launched himself wholeheartedly into the school life, becoming Teacher in Charge of the Sports Leadership Council and an avid participant in school camps. A very promising Rugby referee, we wonder if there may be a professional future beckoning.

Jodi Hollings was our other recruit.

With a background of teaching in Hamilton, she accepted the challenge of our very own Siberia, Room P6.

We were always interested in the chameleon-like nature of her hair. An avid sportswoman and an avowed ‘Chiefs Girl’ she was quick to take on the task of looking after one of the Girls’ soccer teams.

At the end of Term 1 we said farewell to Salvi Gargiulo. Salvi has made a notable contribution to Mathematics Education in New Zealand and his influence will continue with the legacy that he leaves, not just from the teachers whom he trained at the

old Auckland College of Education, but also on the students who were privileged enough to have him in the classroom over the last few years.

Salvi was always enthusiastic to be in front of a class and he will be sorely missed.

In Term 3 Rob Henley returned to us after a period of sick leave. It was great to see him fully recovered and gathering strength. Rob’s experience was sorely missed with our senior classes and it will be quite a relief to be able to utilise him fully next year.

The big loss for us though was the departure of Kirti Lal. There is a further tribute elsewhere, but her quiet departure on the same day as Salvi was a huge blow to us. It is only when someone leaves that you may fully realise the contribution that they make. Kirti’s devotion to her job over a period of 26 years was immense, but it was her leadership in the department over recent, at times turbulent years, that set her apart as the rock within our tight community and the one who kept the fabric of the department together.

We had become so used to seeing Kirti with her students after school, often an avid fan club, that it was immediately apparent by the silence that descended on A12 the loss that we had to bear.

Shortly after we gained Lawrence Naicker. Lawrence had previously been HOD Mathematics at Papakura High School and Sancta Maria College. As a Deputy Principal, he became our new Line Manager, and we look forward to working with him in the years ahead.

On the academic side, there were highs and lows in our results from the 2015 year. Improvements from the 02MTA and 01MTA students were pleasing, but we still need to do some work on the academic classes at Year 13. Our Level 1 Numeracy rate at about 91% continues to stand us in very good stead compared to all South Auckland schools, and not just the lower deciles.

A very positive development was the introduction of a fourth weekly period to the Year 10 course. Numeracy is currently one of the focus areas nationally and it was a concern that

our students were not exposed to as much mathematics in the junior school as is evident amongst other Auckland institutions.

Student success was seen in the wonderful results that we achieved at the Auckland Mathex this year. One of our Year 10 teams comprising John Chen, Aimee and Aaron Lew, and Matthew Lay finished fifth equal. This was a huge achievement and we were all immensely proud.

Aaron and John also performed extremely well in the Australian Mathematics Competition with High Distinctions, reserved for the top 2% of participants. Students to gain Distinction awards were Aimee Chen, Nikita Aubrey Wihongi and Saintleechey Kalipatama.

We look forward to 2017 and the year of the rooster. Hopefully it will herald new beginnings and a greater passion for mathematics teaching and learning.

MONEY WEEK ‘Show Me The Money Week’ is directly linked to the ‘Plan’ stream of the National Strategy for Financial Capability. It’s all about visualising the future and making a plan to get there – whether it’s having the right insurance, saving for a house deposit or preparing for retirement. It’s about making financial plans to support life goals.

During the week hundreds of money-related events and activities took place around the country, bringing organisations, schools, community groups and more together in the mission to build financial capability and help New Zealanders get ahead financially.

In Manurewa High school Year 9s focused on New Zealand currency.

They learnt whose picture is on $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 notes and what the importance is of it. Then they created their own currency.

All students played a Kahoot game during Money Week in their tutor class and staff played a Gingerbread man game where they put price to their outfits for a day.

It was a successful event enjoyed by everyone.

FINANCIAL CAPABILITY COMMERCE INQUIRY DAY

We had a Commerce Inquiry Day in Manurewa High School on Monday, 30 May 2016. Around 450 Year 9 students were involved in this programme where they will have learnt about Financial literacy, Accounting, Economics and Business. There were five different stations for students and they went to the stations in rotation.

Station 1 was Money Go Round, where students understand that a sum of money can be spent and re-spent and that one person’s expenditure can be another person’s income.

Station 2 was related to Needs and Wants. Needs are defined as things

that are essential for survival such as food or shelter. Wants are things that people would like but are not essential e.g iPhone, Ferrari. Students were asked to compare the things they want with what their grandparents wanted which enables them to understand that one person’s needs can be another person’s want.

Station 3 was the Money Game which was a fun and exciting way to teach students about the benefits of saving money, and possible risks of spending money.

At station 4 students produced an imaginative costume from resources such as a rubbish bag, toilet paper, sellotape, crepe paper and worked co-operatively with group members to make decisions about which age group will buy their costume, what would be the price of it and how much it cost them to make.

Station 5 was related to using a budget to set personal goals, recognise the principals for achieving financial independence and develop awareness on lifestyle and how this can affect financial behaviour.

Students did enjoy the day and we are planning to make it an annual event for Juniors.

PETER CORDTZ VISIT TO MAORI WHANAU

The Commission for Financial Capability (CFFC) has a goal to help New Zealanders improve their money management, and the CFFC’s community manager Peter Cordtz says the first step is to make money a regular topic of conversation.

On a visit to Manurewa High School, Peter spoke to a gathering of whanau and encouraged them to talk more about money in the home. “Research shows that what worries kids most is the financial wellbeing of the family.

Talking about money at home will help to normalize it.”

A CFFC programme for schools is aimed at helping young people to understand money as a connecting rod between learning and the real world. “Making money is not about becoming rich – it’s about creating well-being. Wealthy communities are healthy communities.”

Manurewa High School is one of a few schools selected to pilot the programme. Commerce teachers Gurpreet Kaur and Sandhini Sharma are responsible for its implementation, and have been working with SavY to access speakers for student

talks. They plan more events with other guest speakers of interest to our families. They’ll also work with teachers to make sure that money is a part of everyday learning in every subject. Families may also be interested in a free six-week Financial Capability workshop to be held at the Manurewa Leisure Centre. Topics include budgeting, debt management, goals and savings, personal money management, Kiwi saver, investing, insurance, wills and buying a house.

TOURISM This year the Tourism Students of Manurewa High School have really focused on gaining a deeper understanding of the travel and tourism sector and what it means to work in the industry. It has been an exciting year with an amazing fieldtrip and a range of guest speakers.

On the 17th of August, some Level Three Tourism students joined the Geographers on a three-day field trip to Rotorua. We got the opportunity to experience Rotorua as tourists and truly understand the important role that tourism plays in this region. We experienced a range of exciting activities such as the Maori cultural show at Te Puia, the famous Sheep Show at the Agrodome, and the Rotorua Museum. While the Geographers completed their field research on Fenton Street, the Tourism students received a guided tour through the Distinction Hotel

and got the opportunity to see some of their executive rooms and discuss what it entails to work in the Industry.

One of the main highlights of the trip was our trip to Agro Adventures where we got to experience some of the amazing activities such as jet boating, the swoop and even bungy jumping!

On our final day in Rotorua, we got to enjoy the tranquil Gondola ride to the top of Mt Ngongotaha where we got to finish off our tourist experience with a few rides on Rotorua’s luge.

Throughout the year we have had a range of speakers come to talk to our students about what it would be like to work in the Travel and Tourism sector.

Duncan Stuart came in to discuss “a day in the life of a hotel” which was based on an article he wrote for the Regent Hotel. He also discussed a topic that happens quite frequently in the tourism sector which is “having to suck it up and not be rude, even

when it is hard not to be.” His talk was inspiring, entertaining and really outlined the qualities needed for those who wish to peruse a career in hospitality. Finally, Ceri Jenkins from the International Travel College has been extremely involved in our Tourism programme this year. He has visited a few times to talk to the Level Two students about the different work roles in the Tourism Sector and what opportunities there are for future pathways. Many of our students have been involved in the ITC program which was great fun and even offered some extra credits. It has been an exciting year, there have been some fantastic experiences, and some valuable skills learned throughout the year.

HEALTH SCIENCE ACADEMY

HEALTH SCIENCE ACADEMY It has been a very busy year for the Level 1 Health Science Academy students. After a rigorous interview process in which 52 students applied to be part of the 2016 academy class, 28 students were selected to move into a new dedicated academy tutor class and into their first year of Level 1 NCEA achievement standards. Added to this were a few (ten!!) projects and events to test ‘real Science’ and Science communication along the way and the 2016 Health Science Academy cohort was born.

The first event of the year was a welcome to the whanau BBQ where the academy students, their whanau and teaching staff were introduced to a team of ex-Manurewa Students (led by ex-dux Jaspreet Singh) who are all now studying at Auckland University. These former students were to be matched with the Level 1 academy students to become mentors over the 3 years of their journey into tertiary study, easing their transition along the way. The aim was to provide support and advice the mentors themselves would have liked on their journey into University.

In addition to these mentors, students were introduced to a range of Science and industry specialists throughout the year through various projects and events.

In a continuation of the mould study the 2015 academy students started, the first project students became involved in was a Dust Mite study. In this project twelve academy students were introduced to Scientists Caroline Shorter, Assoc. Prof.

Rob Siebers, Chantal Probst, Sarah Tassell, Zhi-Qiang Zhang, Zeng Zhao and Dr. Stan Bellgard. Along with these specialists and a small team from our partner primary school, Rongomai, these students planned and carried out an experiment to test for the presence of dust mites and mould in their homes and on their mattresses. In addition to high allergen levels from the dust mites, students also identified a range of fungi yeasts and moulds. Talk of publishing the findings in a Scientific journal has been discussed.

The next project on the agenda was achievable because of generous funding from the Participatory Science Platform project through Comet and SouthSci. A new achievement standard introduced to Manurewa High School science department this year was around reporting on a biological issue

and our students would be looking at how diabetes and obesity affects our community. Students were tasked with matching this theoretical assessment to a ‘real Science’ project where they would try and make a change for good in their community. In partnership with Fisher & Paykel Healthcare project manager Kate Miller and Scientist Bhavi Ogra, along with Liggins researcher, Dr. Silmara Gusso, students planned and implemented a series of activities around identifying the causes and treatment/ prevention of diabetes and obesity in our community. Fitbits were purchased, heart rates were taken and exercise sessions carried out. The aim was to reduce our resting heart rate using a dedicated exercise and healthy eating programme over a 4-month period.

As part of this Diabetes and obesity project the Heath Science Academy students were also invited to participate in the annual Health Expo run by Level 2 Health students. At the expo students ran an exhibitor booth with unique pamphlets, posters and presentations they had created based on their research.

They also cooked for a blind taste test where students were offered traditional and healthy versions of Pasifika and Maori kai. Both of these activities were a huge success.

Also as part of this achievement standard academy students were lucky enough to visit Liggins Institute at the Grafton Auckland University campus.

Liggins is home to a fantastic group of Scientists and teaching staff who have a dedicated classroom space in their facilities where students can experience hands on Science in a University setting.

Manurewa High School has been lucky enough to visit the genetic modification session with the Level 3 Biology classes over the last few years and this was the first (and last) time to visit with Level 1 students with the diabetes research standard.

Unfortunately, the Liggins dedicated classroom has closed its doors this year as they no longer receive government funding, it will be a huge loss to student learning.

In the middle of these two large projects, academy and Year 10 inquiry class 10AOL were also invited to participate in a pilot project for Manukau Beautification Trust in their Sink or Swim Expo scheduled for August.

Here students were asked to create an innovative project where they were

contributing to the built environment and ensuring sustainability was key. Again from our 2015 mould study an issue raised was damp bathrooms being a breeding ground for mould, so an idea was born to create a 3D printed extractor fan (sustainable) with a built-in humidity sensor and timer so we could use a timer or humidity levels to control the moisture in bathrooms. Whilst this idea was not unique the method and production of this fan was innovative and very sustainable.

The four academy students who took part in this project; Nevyn Burns, Nathan Lay, Tanveer Singh and Benjamin Tse represented themselves well and won best project for their efforts.

More academic academy success was celebrated in our annual Health Science Academy prizegiving in October where over 65 students at Level 1, 2 and 3 were presented with Excellence certificates for internal achievement standards across all three Science disciplines; Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Supreme Excellence certificates were also presented for Excellence in all internal achievement standards in Science. The recipients of these were: Level 1 Supreme Excellence Shivani Chand, Jayde Coxon, Jezebel Cristofari and Rommel Tangonan.

Level 2 Supreme Excellence Aaron Bradley, Rahil Chand, Anjali Karan and Dania Shafiq.

Level 3 Supreme Excellence Fawziya Ali; Maile Guttenbeil; Sukhmander Kaur, Claudine Kumar, Preeti Mani and Hayley Ngo. With a Te Whe at Auckland University, a bake sale to raise funds for a couple of academy students off on the HALP trip to Cambodia at Christmas. A class trip to rainbows end and a student helper session to fundraise for Life Education Trust along the way, this year has certainly been jammed packed with activities to keep the academy class busy and engaged. Now the focus is on our external exams, where hopefully the academy class of 2016 can improve on the outstanding results of last year’s cohort. Well done on a fantastic year academy!

BUSINESS 2016 has been an incredible and amazing year for the Business Department.

Level One Business Studies Level 1 Business students had an opportunity to visit Rainbows End and Spookers as part of their marketing and recruitment assessment.

Year 11 students did BP challenge which was a unique 3 days experimental learning programme to develop skills, connect students to the community and build their understanding of how successful business operates.

We had some amazing speakers of very high calibre to present to our students; David Irving former Chair of the ICEHOUSE, former CEO of Heinz Wattie and Ken Brophy from Joy Business Academy. They spoke on how small businesses are influenced by external factors.

Level 1 Business also did a market day where they created and sold their products. All groups were able to make profit and they learn a lot about how to do business not only in theory but also developing their practical skills.

Level Two Business Studies Level 2 Business students had two market days. In the second market event, respective groups showed improvements against their identified

weakness. As a result the event was better organised and gave students great learning platform.

Level 2 also visited Hynds Limited as part of their external exam preparation on large business.

John Hynds, the owner of Hynds was very helpful in providing all information that our students required. We had a tour of the factory and administration office. This was very resourceful and informative experience for our students.

Level Three Business Studies Level 3 Business was a busy year.

The students were busy creating their own businesses, coming up with creative and innovative products and taking them to the market.

There were two group Pure Blendz selling infused coconut flavoured coffee –premium and standard brands and Lj’s clothing selling up-cycled tie dye t-shirts.

Some activities for the groups were: •Received seed funding of $700 based on the excellent business plan and innovative product.

•Students participated in E-day, Dragons Den presentation and Venture Up Road Show.

•They sold at Auckland Food Show, South/East Night Market and Pacifica

Business Expo.

•The groups were featured on TV One news on 23rd August 2016.

•Students attended workshops organised by Pacific Business Trust.

•Annette Kaitapu was fortunate enough to be chosen for Massey Boot camp and also awarded $1000 Enterprise in Action scholarship.

•Students also attended CEO conferences and communication workshop where expertise people spoke on various businesses related subjects. This gave students much needed information and knowledge through networking.

•They visited NZ steel and also had Richard Thomson, General Manager Networks, from Air NZ to speak to them on external factors influencing business that operates in a global context.

It was a wonderful year for all of our students and I wish them all the best in their forthcoming exams.

Finally, I look forward to 2017 in facilitating and enhancing every students’ learning coming through Business Department.

MARKET DAY Business Studies is one subject that allows students to communicate with the customers effectively and learn the skills of handling a customer.

Forming groups and designing or making the product seems extremely tough but Business Studies makes it easier and helps us, Level 2 students to make informed decisions at the end of the market day. The first market day helped the students to come with a product according to the market research carried out to know if the product would be well recognised in the market. The research helped all the students focus on the customers’ satisfaction because after all, customers are the ones who will be buying the products. Level 2 Business Studies helped the students to gain knowledge about the Maori values that is vital for every business. Students learned how to manage time wisely, shop for the ingredients, have the product made and delivered on time, pack the products safely and hygienic issues are met while producing meals such as butter chicken. Not only this, the market day ensured all the students the pressure that business

people go through in everyday life in the business world.

Getting UE and passing Level 2 with fantastic credits, Business Studies is the option. The second market day was even more interesting for the team members and they were able to be more productive since they already had a feel of how things and situations go by experiencing the first market day. This helped all the students to keep a better relationship with all the customers and involve the community members as well to be a part of the market day. Small businesses become successful and they turn into a large

operation if they have the basics of the business knowledge. Market Day is a fair day where the students become productive and they are working handin-hand as a whole team and meeting the school values; REWA. By doing the market day, students acted as the company directors who were able to keep track with the source documents, plan budgets and breakeven, prepare income statements and distribute the amount of profit and do charity.

Therefore, any student who takes business will never be disappointed and succeed in life.

THIS YEAR’S ENTERPRISES ARE RIGHT ON TREND

We have two businesses doing well in the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) with innovative products in food and fashion.

Pure Blendz has developed a natural way of infusing coffee with coconut. Pure Blendz took its first batch to the recent Pasefika Business Expo at the Vodafone Events Centre – and sold out. The group gained $425 in seed funding through YES, and the judges were impressed with the strength of their business plan and their innovative product.

LJ’s Clothing has a concept for upcycling T Shirts with a tie-dyed process, which is one of the world’s hottest fashion trends for 2017.

Shoppers at the Pasefika Business Expo snapped up the first release.

This group also gained excellent seed funding of $275.

Our school has a great track record of success in YES. Students enjoy the practical learning it provides,

developing both creativity and business skills.

DIGITAL AND VISUAL ARTS DIGITAL

Digital Technology is such a fluid subject and with the merger of Art last year we have been able to create some exciting courses at senior level in 2016. Level One Foundation Design Studies covered the development of web pages (HTML and CSS), planning and development of code, Microsoft certification and planning of a short movie clip. The class at level 2 got more in-depth about the fundamentals of HTLM5 and CSS3, students were given the tools to plan, create and develop a web page from a simple low fidelity design to a functional working web site. Students also created a relational database

and learn the rudiments of connecting tables. Robotics has enjoyed a steady increase over the past few years and even with the departure of Mr Flynn the course is still going strong. We have robotic classes from Year 10 to Year 13 and the senior students compete in a nationwide kiwibots program.

Coding has become an essential area in digital technology with nearly all in developments based on coding so at year 9 in 2017 we will introduce coding and hopefully give our new Manurewa High School students a step up in the world of digital technology.

Mr Ngataki

work not just amongst their peers but staff and alumni as well. Our resident carver Uenuku Hawira also exhibited and sold some of his beautiful carvings.

For the first time we also opened the exhibition on a Saturday morning and it was great to see families come through that otherwise would not have had the opportunity. This event has developed and grown every year, this year we invited photographer Raymond Sagopolutele to be a guest judge. He was simply blown away by the quality of the photographs that the students are producing.

It seems that our students are getting quite the reputation for producing quality work. Amandeep Kaur was selected as a finalist in the Wallace Trust awards, which was a huge achievement. This was followed up with the Original Art awards. For the fourth year of the running of the Secondary awards Manurewa High School was strongly represented. We

had 6 entrants, 3 painters; Amandeep Kaur, Aeluna Nissan, Jade Bourke and 3 photographers; Lavinia Latu William Filo and Tequilla Moses that were selected from hundreds of applicants that made up a total of 38 finalists from schools all over the greater Auckland area. Amandeep Kaur took out overall first prize with one of her self-portrait paintings and was awarded a $1000 cash prize. The competition was tough but all of our students made of us very proud with the high standard of their work as well as the distinction of being selected from a large pool of entries.

So once again it’s been a massive year in the Art department and lots of achievements by our students that have made us very proud! The department is excited to see what new challenges/ competitions and exposure the students of 2017 will bring!

Every year the Art department seems to grow bigger in terms of its involvement with the wider Arts community, this year was no different.

There’s always competitions being entered and new areas for the students of the department to gain exposure. Amandeep Kaur and Aeluna represented the school at the Royal Easter show Art exhibition at the start of the year and Amandeep gained first, second and merit awards and Aeluna received third. In the April holidays Aeluna was selected for 5 days in the Art world by the Te Tuhi youth programme. She experienced workshops, gallery visits, Artist talks and also looked at Art programmes that AUT and Elam offer.

Our annual exhibition was a complete success and we had a large number of the community come through on our opening evening.

Students also sold a large number of work and were excited to exhibit their

MEDIA

2016 has been a massive year for the Media Studies Learning Area.

It has been a real honour to work with such talented and passionate students who have produced fantastic work this year, both academically and practically. It has been a pleasure to see the subject grow in popularity and see more students becoming passionate and enjoying the subject.

This year Media Studies offered new and exciting opportunities for students to take part in. The first being the establishment of the Media Council. It has offered opportunities for students to create short videos of events and activities taking place in school, running the school Instagram page and also taking part in competitions.

This functioned as part of the school’s service leadership programme.

Two highlights from Media Studies this year was the establishment of the school Instagram page and our participation in the HP 48 Hours Film Festival.

The Instagram page was created and run fully by a group of students who did an amazing job promoting both the page and events around school. They have a clear vision of how the page will progress next year and I am looking forward to seeing what they do.

Taking part in the HP 48 Hours Film Festival is no walk in the park. It is one of the most iconic and difficult film competitions in the country and tests even professional filmmakers. With teams receiving a genre, character, prop, line of dialogue and a technical technique they must write, shoot and

edit a short film in 48 hours. We had two teams enter and both finish, which is an achievement in itself. Our Year 11 team ‘The Post Its’ won Audience Choice at their heat screening which, is an outstanding achievement for a first time entry; especially when competing against professional teams.

This competition showed the calibre, passion and talent of our students. All teachers involved in this event were incredibly proud of the students who worked extremely hard and produced two great films.

All this leaves me nothing but excited and passionate for 2017. I want to continue to offer more opportunities for students next year and to continue building on the success of 2016.

Yet again, another successful year in Dance for Manurewa High School. The new appointment of Head of Learning Area, Barbara Ngawati-Salaivao, brought a wealth of knowledge and fresh initiatives making a positive impact to the learning area of four.

The year started with a bang, with Rewa All Stars Mega Crew auditions.

Over 90 keen students lined up to audition for a spot to represent MHS at the Street Dance NZ Mega Schools competition.

Our students spent hours researching, choreographing and rehearsing. They dedicated their piece to dancers and crews who have paved the way for Street Dance in NZ. Our Rewa All Stars team, led by Andy Ha, Wyona Murray, Christian Segi and Murphy Faalavaau, received the Most Outstanding Performance award and won 1st Place again.

Other competitions Manurewa High School took part in in 2016 include

Stage Challenge, Stand Up! Stand Out! and the Battle All Dance League.

For the third time at Stand Up! Stand Out! our dancers brought home two placings - TNT came Runner Up and two-time-champions Deuces Dance Crew came home with the win. Battle All Dance League is a 1v1 All Styles battle which challenges dancers to freestyle and move organically to unknown music. Andy Ha battled his way to the Top 4, placing 4th in the Secondary School division.

Off from the competition stage, our students have been making a good name for our school at prestigious dance events. Whaea Barb’s Year 13 Dance class were invited to showcase their collaborative piece, ‘Politician’ at the YouDance Festival. This is the first time Manurewa High School has been invited to perform, which is a great privilege and opportunity for our students to see, feel and move in a professional environment. From

YouDance, ‘Politician’ was selected to showcase in this year’s ‘Ignite’, at New Zealand’s foremost dance festival, Tempo.

To end the year, we finished off with ‘Kanikani 16’, a dance concert which showcased the works of our Year 9 to Year 13 students. Our youngest students got to see first-hand the process of preparing for a show at a professional level. As they stepped foot on stage for the first time some of our more mature students took the stage for the last time as a MHS dancer. They leave a legacy that our younger students will continue to grow.

It has been an amazing year and we can’t wait to do it all over again – bigger and better! We want to thank everyone who has supported our students, and learning area this year.

Your love and support does not go unnoticed.

HIRANGA HIRANGA CAMP TO KOKAKO LODGE.

With much trepidation the students gathered in the morning of Tuesday 13 September for the annual Hiranga/03OED camp. Being later this year it was warmer. Usually the students would be all rugged up with masses of warm gear. It’s a good thing they didn’t bring as much as we had to take out a whole pile of food. Mrs Wilson got annoyed at people standing around and started giving orders especially when she took charge of packing the food into the back of the bus. “If you want to eat then we need to get it loaded.”

Everyone checked off. Off we went.

41 Year 9 and 10 students. There to meet us were Mrs Reynolds, Mr Williams and Mr Reynolds (aka Mr

Viking), Delvin and 03OED students all raring to go. Hang on! With 2 Mr Williams there had to a name change somewhere- bring on Mr Alan Williams aka Papa Williams and Mr Thane Williams aka Baby Williams.

The next 4 days were full off challenges, building relationships, eating, and rain. Well, if you’re going to go kayaking and testing the raft that your group has built, you are going to get wet anyway. Thank goodness for lifejackets and helmets if your raft (or kayak) gets a mind of its own and doesn’t want to float. Other challenges included, orienteering, bivouac (shelter) building in the bush, trust walks/falls and the amazing “electric fence”. Not as fearsome as it

sounds. It was an activity where teams had to devise ways of passing each member over a rope “fence” without touching it. Ama devised some pretty clever ideas. It’s always tricky when you have helped everyone else and you are they last on the wrong side trust falls to the rescue. The rain set in day 3, so by the time we got to the “Amazing Race” things were getting pretty muddy. Thank goodness for hot showers.

Thanks to Mrs Reynolds and Mr (baby) Williams for the invitation to attend, the good food prepared lovingly by the 03HAC students, Mr (Papa) Williams for the photos. For the students who attended well done and see you again next year.

VISION RESOURCE CENTRE Manurewa High School “Golden Oldies”

With the establishment of the Vision Resource Centre in 1966, we will be celebrating our 50th Year Anniversary.

Celebrations to mark this event will happen in Term 1 - 2017 (watch this space).

We have come to the end of another successful year and as usual the students made us proud in their achievements, be it academic, sport, cultural or whanau based, all junior and senior students excelled in all those areas.

The team of teacher aides ( Amrith Jaj, Reuben Brannon and Mari-Louise Jeptha), a fixed Resource Teacher Vision (Belinda Biggs) on site and two visiting Resource Teachers Vision (Aimee Peterken & Lyndsey Starkey) have provided enthusiastic and dedicated vision 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 assistive technology such as Laptops with software, IPads, IOS devices, electronic Braille note takers and a variety of tactile resources. Many resources are now emailed to the students and they access the resources in class at exactly the same time as their peers.

Students email their work to the subject teachers and get immediate feedback on their work. This improved the communication between the students and teacher immensely. It also allowed the students independence and taking responsibility for their own learning to a next level.

This year we started with twelve students attending the regular classes and supported by the Vision Resource Centre. During the year three students left because of a change in residence.

At the end of this year we have one Yr13 student (James Tucker) who will leave the Vision Resource Centre to attend Eastern Institute of Technology in Hawk’s Bay. We wish him well in his tertiary studies. The other students will be staying with us next year which will give us a total of eight students in the Vision Resource Centre in 2017.

Throughout the year some of our students have been involved in various activities. With the support of the Halberg Disability Sport Foundation who promoted Goal ball at the school by sending us a team of coaches to train the students on Tuesdays during their lunch break. We would like to thank the coaches for all their hard work and helping the students to achieve well in sport activities.

Naomi Mackinnon excelled in her Music abilities. She participated in the Big Sing Choir competition that was held in the Auckland Town Hall. Naomi took part in the “Play it Strange” competition. Play It Strange shines the spotlight into NZ schools

Naomi Mackinnon and Michael Chopra (two students who are totally blind) were interviewed by Radio NZ about the benefits of 3D resources and how it can be implemented and have an impact on their learning at school.

Both enjoyed the experience to be interviewed for a Radio station. Naomi and Michael has been offered the opportunity to attend the Singularity U Summit in Christchurch, from November 14-16. This opportunity has come about partly because of the recent Radio New Zealand interview where they shared their passion for astronomy and helping people to understand how they see their world. To find out more about this

and brings into the light the great songs that are written there. Naomi scored a place in the top 40 finalists and as a result, she had her song recorded at the Roundhead studio (an Auckland-based sound recording studio owned by singer-songwriter Neil Finn). Naomi is enrolled at TeKura Correspondence School where she studies Spanish Level 1 online. She received a Certificate of Merit for her spoken presentation in Spanish and a Certificate of Achievement for her written texts in Spanish. Naomi’s passion for Drama motivated her to attend the plays “The Wholehearted” directed by the Massive Company at the Mangere Art Centre and “To Kill a Mocking Bird” directed by the Auckland Theatre Company at the Auckland Civic Centre.

Summit please read here: http://www. singularityunz.com/ 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 their vision needs that will ultimately impact their academic study in the regular classes. We endeavour to do this with more passion and enthusiasm to success under the vision of BLENNZ which is “Every BLENNZ learner is well prepared to achieve in life” 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

ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING

46

Another busy year has flown past! Without a doubt, the year has been challenging but rewarding as always. English Language Learning Department continues to provide successful programmes to our English language learners. As always, it is very rewarding and we are proud to see our students have developed their confidence in the ability to communicate using the English language.

In the senior school, NCEA assessments have been well developed. All senior students have an opportunity to earn credits towards passing NCEA at their highest ability from Level 1 to Level 3. Our reception and junior programmes have also been well developed to meet our student’s needs.

Over a hundred students studied in our department this year. Students come from different countries and

language backgrounds as migrants or foreign fee-paying students and a large proportion of them are Pacifikas.

All ELL staff have enthusiastically endeavoured to try new teaching and learning strategies. The on-going Pasifika Reading Inquiry programme, using culturally relevant resources and strategies, teaching has proved to be successful. Through the deliberate teaching of literacy skills, especially reading and vocabulary, most students have achieved greatly.

Congratulations to our students who have made remarkable progress.

We are very proud to see them getting firsts in mainstream subjects including English, Science, Art, Hospitality, Economics and other subjects.

Congratulations to our junior students who have made huge progress and have flown high.

Congratulations to our reception students who came here with no

English. They have improved from Foundation to ELLP stage 2 in reading, which has made us all proud of them. We wish them all the best in the coming year.

Congratulations to our students, who not only studied hard but also participated in school-wide activities and sports. They fully enjoyed the international week celebrating their different cultures and had grown a strong sense of belonging.

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

Great appreciation to our wonderful teacher aide Chrissie Lee, who is always ready to go the extra mile. Last but not the least, I would like to thank Mr. David Reid for his contribution.

Congratulations to you all, ELL staff, who have made our year successful, enjoyable and pleasant!

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS This year we have said farewell to Mrs Sandra Shaw who has been involved with helping international students at Manurewa High School for many years, first as the Deputy Principal overseeing the running of the Learning Area and, after she retired from that role, returning as the teacher in charge. Mrs Shaw was passionate about building up the number of international students at Manurewa High School and also about ensuring that the quality of care and academic opportunities offered to these students was second to none. Many of the students who are leaving this year will remember her kindness, her motherly nagging and her lessons in the polite way of doing things! She left at the end of Term 2 to enjoy a well-earned, ‘it’s real this time’, retirement. We wish her all the best.

Stepping into Mrs Shaw’s shoes hasn’t been easy. Even though I have been a teacher at Manurewa High School for more years than I can remember, being responsible for the international students is a very different role and has been a huge learning curve. However, with guidance from Mrs Bossenger and the amazing administrative assistance of Mrs Ball (plus the odd emergency call to Mrs Shaw) I have made it through to the end of the year!

We have welcomed several new students this year (Jervis Deng, Kim Jin and Janessa Wang from China, Olga Pisi from Papua New Guinea, and Ravikesh Nadan from Fiji) and also farewelled a couple (Jack Chen from China, and Anastasia Leonidova from Russia). At the end of the year we will be saying goodbye and good luck to our Year 13 students (Miew Viriyaarcha from Thailand, Lucy Nguyen from Vietnam, Apan Grewal from India, and Rotanakoudom Seng from Cambodia) as they leave to continue their New Zealand education at tertiary level. Aditep Rintha from Thailand, Jezebel Cristofari from Italy, and Jessica Wu from China who all began Manurewa High School in 2015 will continue their studies here next year as well. We are a truly diverse whanau.

Some of the highlights of the year have been a trip to Goat Island and Sheep World, where Jack tried his hand at sheep shearing. There have also been ten pin bowling matches (Most Stylish Bowler awarded to Jervis), restaurant visits, and Olga and Miew had an adventurous time as guests on the Geography trip to Rotorua. An international barbecue with homestay families and a trip to the Sky Tower are planned for the end of the year. On an academic high

note, we must congratulate Jezebel Cristofari who was awarded the top accolade for Excellence in the Health Science Academy.

Our students from Yichun in China were also excited to show their Principal, Director of International Students and the Chief Inspector around Manurewa High School when they flew in for a four-day visit to New Zealand. They took them on a tour of the school and shared a magnificent lunch at Manners Café with them. The visitors were impressed with the variety of subjects offered here at Manurewa High School and the flexibility of our teaching/learning styles.

Overall, I must acknowledge what a wonderful group the international students are. They deal with the trials and tribulations of everyday student life along with the added challenges of learning a new language and living away from their home country and their families. For those of you leaving Manurewa High School, we wish you all the best. And remember that once you are part of the MHS whanau, you are always part of the MHS whanauno matter where in the world you come from or end up.

HOSPITALITY AND CATERING HAC COMPETITIONS

This year 22 Hospitality and Catering students were given the opportunity to take part in the NZ Culinary Regional and National competition to compete among other schools throughout New Zealand. A lot of students signed up for it in the first week of training, however, quite a lot of them backed out due to early morning starts. We had to give up our lunch and morning tea times for the practices and stay back late after school. The Regionals were held at M.I.T and participants from schools all over Auckland were there. The competitors were nervous as it was the first time for all of us to do something like this. Our heart beats got faster as we got put on the spot to perform the task we were performing.

Everyone’s eyes were on us, but once

we started, that was the only thing we focused on. The Nationals were held at ASB showgrounds it was even bigger this time as high school students from throughout New Zealand were competing. At the end of the day our school took the Trophy for Excellence.

This competition was such an amazing experience because we gained good skills and learnt new things. It also helped build our self-confidence with stepping out of our comfort zone, and if we had the chance to do something like this again then we will.

Noleen Prasad, Ryanella Reynon

A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY

48

Doing Hospitality and catering this year enabled us to participate and compete against other schools throughout New Zealand. Given this opportunity, many of us were able to experience new techniques and skills that helped develop our passion to cook. Many students volunteered to undertake this challenge not knowing how serious this competition was, but after the first week, more then half the students had pulled out. Throughout the training period, it required a lot of commitment from each competitor including after school and before school sessions and lunch times were required. After the trainings were complete, a lot of people were exhausted but excited. Going to the venues for Regionals and Nationals made everyone a lot more nervous but keen, seeing other schools, full time chefs and especially the full lit cameras. When it was my turn to compete, I felt really nervous but stuck to what I knew. Everybody was happy with the outcome we achieved. Many of us ended with Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals. Our school scored well and was the overall winner which filled everyone with joy.

TECHNOLOGY PRODUCT LAUNCH

The “Product Launch” is a project set up in the Technology Department to allow children the chance to research, make, change and then promote a food product. The idea is that by the time the students get to the market day that they have something delicious and interesting to sell to students at the school.

“It has been an amazing experience learning the basics of cooking this year, and as part of this program we were able to take part in the Product Launch. The Product Launch gives students the opportunity to look at a range of snack food products. Learn how to make, change and then produce a finished product to sell to an audience.

It, (Product Launch), has taught me how different foods are made and how changing a recipe can really make a difference to the taste.

Also I learnt how important it is to think about your packaging and how to develop advertising that is both informative and interesting. The board that we make has a huge impact on attracting students to buy our product.

This experience has helped me to developing new skills in cooking and given me an appreciation for business.”

-Soakore “In the product launch my group decided to make corndogs. We thought as a group that it would be a good idea to make some that was

simple and would be some different to other groups.”

-Hana “What I liked about Product Launch was trying all the different foods that other people make. There were so many different ideas and types of food for sale on the day.”

-Bella “What I liked and njoyed about Product Launch was making the nachos to sell. Going around and trying other groups food and drinks.

The food that I enjoyed the most was the Banoffee Pie. I really enjoyed the Product Launch” -Michaela

TECHNOLOGY WAHARAU RENOVATION In May, the Year 13 Trades Academy Construction boys completed the Camp Cabin Renovation at Waharau campsite near Miranda on the East Coast. It was a week-long camp which involved working up on Scaffolding to remove the worn out external cladding and new fixing new shadowclad boards. All of their newly learned construction skills and Power tools confidence helped them to achieve a great finish.

This project is designed to give the students a “on the job” building experience. It puts them into a situation where they must learn not only to work together but also live together. Sharing meals and bonding is a big part of the project. Even though the weather worked against us with the cold and the rain we were able to finish the job early. And we we all stood back as a team we could see that it was a project for them to be proud of and a real life preparation activity for their entry into the Workforce next year.

A short Q&A with Poasa Anae – one of the boys…

What did you do on camp in the renovations? Change the cladding – Travelled to Waharau, eastern side of Hunua Ranges – Painted the final coat for the cladding What we did before leading up to camp – Painted new sheets for exterior cladding – got all of the materials ready What else did you do on camp? – Worked overtime when the weather was good – watched movies during the evenings – played rugby after work – eat heaps of food – sing heaps of songs – kicking back with the boys What we learned and will take away from the experience – Painting skills – Taking off and putting on new cladding – Teamwork – Trust – Loyalty – Brotherhood

MAORI ACHIEVEMENT MAAORI ACHIEVING AS MAAORI AT MANUREWA HIGH SCHOOL This is my first year in the Maaori whaanau class and I was welcomed with open arms. This Maaori Whaanau class isn’t your typical tutor group; it is a whaanau. We have the opportunity to confide in each other as brothers and sisters, often the big brother who constantly tells you “everything will work out, stop worrying”. A safe haven where you can express yourself freely and know everyone is looking out for you, is a great way to start each day.

The partnership between Manurewa High School and Vodafone has had huge benefits for me and other students.

I received an amazing opportunity this year to partake in performing Haka Powhiri, a traditional Maaori welcome, for new staff to Vodafone. Not only did we get to perform our hearts out, but afterwards we had the honour of being exposed to the corporate world.

I believed the “Corporate world” was sitting in front of a computer from 9 to 5, stuck in a 4 walled office, working around the clock. I was wrong! You

have the choice to work from home, flexible hours, competitions are many and varied to keep motivation alive, enabling employees to hit their next target, and most importantly, we can’t forget the drive and passion to have a Te Ao Maaori environment. I did not realise that ‘Taha Maaori’ were acknowledged with so much Mana, not just with Vodafone but with many corporate firms such as ASB, Deloites, and many more. That fact blew my mind.

It has been a privilege to have Ryan and Crystal (ex-Manurewa High School Students who are now Vodafone Graduates) express the essentiality of Maaori in the business world and to guide us, as our mentors, while we are still at high-school. I have been able to take away tips and tricks of creating a CV, the cultural attire in a work force, the balance between casual and formal and how to be taken professionally. I came into Vodafone with a closed mind-set which Ryan and

Crystal quickly changed. Personally, I did not think of going to university.

I was going with the flow waiting for high-school to finish, then maybe an apprenticeship, in who knows what?

But with the support I have received and the new knowledge I have gained about commitment to help Maaori students succeed, an interest has been sparked within me to expand my mind even further, yes, maybe university. Vodafone has taught me many values, but one I shall always remember is Reciprocation. The will to serve, to give back to your community.

I would like to take this time to acknowledge Ryan, Crystal, Hayden, Te Wao, and the other Vodafone staff, plus of course our school for allowing us to pursue this opportunity. These Ex -Manurewa students found a way to give back to their school, which I am so proud to be part of.

This year is the second year of our initiative of a Maaori Learning Curriculum Area. The Maaori Learning Curriculum Area consists of a Maaori Student Vertical Whaanau Class who meet in the morning and are made up of students of all year levels (Year 9-13) and also a new course that sits alongside Te Reo Maaori called Te Waharoa. Te Waharoa is a multi-level course available to Year 9’s and above that teach through Te Ao Maaori modules that are qualified through field Maaori unit standards.

The intentions of the Maaori Learning Curriculum Area are to help in raising Maaori student achievement but is also a space where all students will have access to learning through Te Ao Maaori (The Maaori world view).

This means it will explicitly link Maaori cultural knowledge (to nurture Maaori identity) to school curriculum so that learning is contextualized and affirms maatauranga Maaori (Maaori knowledge) alongside Western knowledge.

This year in Te Waharoa we were fortunate enough to do Mau Rakau with Matua Chris and Matua Mani under the umbrella of Te Whare Tuu Taua o Aotearoa whom Papa Pita Sharples started. It has been a challenging journey physically, mentally and spiritually for all involved but has authentically connected our students with tikanga and kawa of our tipuna.

This new knowledge has definitely brought pride to these students in being Maaori. During the holidays some of the students were learning to make tipare (headbands) for their grading for Pou Tahi and we are proud that 4 of our boys Waima Mokaraka, Rewi Herewini, Lyric Hemana and

Blade Tuiasau-Mokoare received their Pou Tahi after a gruelling 4 – 5 hour grading which ended in a 5km run. We are also proud of the other students in the class who are persevering and looking to grade either later this year or next. Kia kaha taatou!

Last year our teeina students had worked with Carel and her team in the Ministry directed initiative Parents, Families and Whaanau. They have been helping our students to find out about different career choices to spark their interest and direct them into more meaningful pathways in the future.

This has led to the development of our Whaanau Education Action Plans (WEAPs) for each student which identified their goals, their realities, way forward and option choices for next year. Our students carried on using these WEAP tools to present their aspirations to their Whaanau in the Term 3 Student Option Conferences and this is now a tool that has spread school wide with all Year 10 & 11 tutor classes now using the WEAP tool this year in the hope all year levels will use it in the future.

Other things we have been learning through the Maaori Whaanau Class is Te Reo Maaori, learning how mihi to the kaikarakia, karakia, haka powhiri, how to perform our school song Piki Atu in sign language, various haka such as Tika Tonu and the school haka and waiata-a-ringa such as Te Iwi E and the Tainui athem E Noho Tuheitia. Our students have even stepped up to be role models and teachers of the haka and waiata to the whole school during cultural days and whaanau celebration days. A special mention must go out also to our two Year 10 students Erita Thomson and Agnes Day and our

two Year 12 students Adelle Kapa and Trinity Makutu who represented our school at Manu Korero earlier in the year from the Maaori Student Whaanau Class. Agnes and Adelle competed in the English section and Erita and Trinity represented us in the Te Reo section. We are very proud of your efforts in representing us at this prestigious regional competition.

Lastly we said “bye for now” to Whaea Ari at the end of Term 3 as she embarks on her journey to motherhood.

We celebrated her departure with a whaanau baby shower at the school cafe that included lots of kai, baby presents, fun games which involved trying to tie your shoe lace without popping the balloon that was up your top. We were treated to some magical poetry from our Maaori Shakespeare Sam in Year 12 who recited a special poem he had written for Whaea Ari. We wish Whaea Ari all the best and cannot wait to meet baby as we await her return to us in Term 2 of 2017.

A huge mihi to Nannie Shaquelle who has been a natural fit within the whaanau as she takes on Whaea Ari’s role while she is away.

“I have been a member of this whaanau class for 2 years and my experiences have been challenging and exciting with the feeling of reconnection. Challenging because there are many opportunities for leading roles such as karakia, mihi, leading powhiri and waiata. I feel that being a member of the Maaori whaanau has reconnected me with my roots, culturally and spiritually” Adelle Kapa – Ngati Whatua, Ngati Pikiao – A member of the Maaori Whaanau Class

MAORI ACHIEVEMENT KIA MAU KI TŌ MAAORITANGA – HOLD FAST TO YOUR MAAORI CULTURE We enjoyed another encouraging evening celebrating our Senior Students with their Whaanau over a dinner served up by our award winning Hospitality and Catering (HAC) Students. Caleb Forster and Trinity Makutu were our competent Year 12 student MC’s who managed the occasion with confidence and ease. The night closed with our guest speaker the talented and inspiring artist Ryan Monga of Aridjah who spoke proudly of being from Manurewa and growing up in Otara and how his experiences and culture is a huge part of his contribution to a successful NZ music group and creating their trademark ‘Polyfunk’ sound in his music.

We were also fortunate to be visited

by Brooke and Starcia O’Neill or ‘The O’Neill Twins’ who are ex-students of Manurewa High School and who have blown up in the world of hip hop dancing and now music with the release of their new single ‘Boss as Chick’. We are extremely proud of a school of their achievements and wish them all the best in the future.

Maaori Celebration - Whakamihia ā Tātou Akonga Maaori The Maaori 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 Maaori student’s achievements in the school. It is exciting to see students coming up on stage to be acknowledged by the school in front of whaanau - some shy and others with more confidence, yet all with a sense of pride about their heritage and who they are.

I think we did our best and we made all our whaanau and friends happy and full of pride for what we’ve achieved” Jaydene Pile-Williams - Ngati Awa – A member of the Maaori Whaanau Class THE MAAORI COUNCIL The Maaori Council formed this year under the new student leadership format.

This was a small group who were dedicated to share Te Ao Maaori with the rest of the kura as well as look as ways they could support in raising Maaori student achievement schoolwide. We loosely split into 2 groups – Project Reclaim and Project Re-frame.

Project Reclaims objectives were to look at ways we could support teachers in understanding how our Maaori students learn in order for them to be successful.

The Maaori council gave student voice of what Maaori learners value which now informs a school wide appraisal tool teachers use under the Kia Eke Panuku Initiative. The Maaori Council were also influential in encouraging the school to partner with our local iwi Waikato Tainui in signing a Kawenata by providing feedback and presenting to the BOT on the importance of this relationship.

Project Re-frame looked at how we could include the rest of the school in thinking and interacting with Te Ao Maaori more positively. This was achieved through supporting cultural and whaanau days with teaching the school haka and the waiata Manurewa E, running activities during Te Marama o Te Reo Maaori or Maaori Language Month such as Patai o te wiki, Piki Atu Whaanau Singing Competitions, Maaori songs as the bell, Haka workshops and Matatini viewings in the whare. A big mihi to Kotuku Whaanau who were victorious in wining Te Marama o Te Reo Maaori taking down the previous champs Te Ao Marama who had won it the last three years.

Also a huge mihi to all our student leaders in the Maaori Council – Natanahira Tuiasau-Makoare, Jordan McPherson-Whimp, Lydia Day, Trinity Makutu, Caleb Forster, Takuahi Mahara, Aretha Ngawaka, Diamond Kingi-Stephens, Joshua Simpson, Paris Daley and Teagan Pukeroa.

STUDENT COUNCILS ARTS COUNCIL

Throughout 2016, Manurewa High School’s Arts Council has been actively involved in several different events around the school, the most prominent of which was the annual Arts Week. Incorporating elements of all four art sectors- visual art, dance, drama and music- the Arts Council successfully managed to organise a week of engaging activities, such as creating bright, colourful rangoli patterns all over the school, offering to do henna art and putting together the school art exhibition for everyone to enjoy. As well as this, we had lunchtime concerts in the hall for dancers to display their talent and had

an open rehearsal for people to watch our orchestra get their jam underway in the music classroom. We had amazing turn outs for both the art exhibition and dance performances, both of which allowed a broad spectrum of people access to a side of Manurewa High School not habitually available to the public eye. The Arts Council is not just about arty stuff either- our first success as a council was during International Week, where we had a cupcake sale that showcased the multicultural diversity at our school. In the leadership scheme of things, we were also approached by the Senior Leadership team to put together

centerpieces for the tables at the final Student Leader Hui, which in itself was an amazing experience, and allowed our members to demonstrate their own artistic creativity. Next year our aim as a council is to achieve a whole lot more throughout school when it comes to art and its many forms, such as incorporating more theatrical and dramatic aspects during Arts Week.

We aim to teach and encourage both students and faculty to get in touch with their artsy side, promote selfexpression and embolden artistic talent in students whether it be in visual art, drama, dance, or music.

COMMUNITY COUNCIL

ANZAC DAY “They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.”

Community Council’s first community event was attending the local ANZAC service in Manurewa where people from the community, local organizations/groups and also local Schools came together to pay tribute to our true heroes who fought for our country. We represented our school well and hope that more people are aware of commemorating such a significant event that lead us to a better future - Grace Tauiliili

STUDENT COUNCILS ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL

This year Manurewa High School formed its very first Environmental Council run by 20 students who range from year 9 to year 13 and 3 staff members. This Council is actually a student led initiative where the students actually decided what they wanted to accomplish as a group. Thanks to the wonderful student leaders: HannahJayne Rodokal, Caitlin Turner, Elesha Moore and Timothy Dreadon. They have started many projects that have given the other students at the school opportunities to become involved in taking care of the environment within our school and local south Auckland community. Below are some of the many projects that these students have become involved in 2016.

64

Manurewa High School’s Environmental Council has focused on raising awareness of environmental issues that we face today through activities that get students actively involved to learn about them. The beginning of the year was started off with a clean-up involving approximately 25 students at Wiroa island alongside Auckland Airport staff. For their hard work and help the students were rewarded with a hovercraft ride, a sausage sizzle, firefighter training and the school was given a donation for our help.

From here it was decided that each term a clean-up would be run in various places around south Auckland. One of these events included participating in the Puhinui stream clean-up, an event that aimed to have the largest amount of volunteers in New Zealand.

In the first term, the Environmental Council also volunteered at Eye On Nature, eco-festival learning and teaching certain aspects of living sustainably to primary schools who visited the festival.

To get involved with other sustainable schools around Auckland, members of the Environmental council also attended the Central mini jam held at One Tree Hill College, competing in an amazing-race like challenge and further learning about sustainable living and other environmental issues.

A facebook page is also being currently run by the environmental council (MHS Environmental Council)

to be used as a means to communicate with students as facebook is a popular medium for youth today. This page shows the achievements of students in relation to sustainability, and notifies students of events coming that they can get involved in. They have run a Facebook competition over conservation week to get more likes and provide updates on how the week is going.

The focus for the third term of school became plastic. During school leadership huis it was decided that the plastic cutlery and plates would be washed and reused to go against the use of single-use plastic. During Term 3, the Environmental Council also decided to run a bunch of activities that would raise awareness in the school and hopefully motivate students to learn more about sustainability.

A display in the school library was created and a quiz with questions testing students on how much they know about recycling. Members of the environmental council gave spot prizes to students who could answer questions correctly during lunch times.

A board with rubbish on it was to be sorted as an activity, where it had to be decided by students the best place for each piece to go: landfill, compost or recycling. This week we also took part in KNZB clean up week, so this term’s clean-up was a local clean-up after school at Memorial park.

Therefore in order to sustain the initiatives that the students have implemented this year, the future of this council is to get as many young members of the school to become aware of the environmental issues within our local community and to enable them to become leaders of sustainable action. Future plans include bringing recycle bins into the school, creating a vegetable garden and maybe even a worm farm to help with composting.

ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL WIROA ISLAND CLEANUP

After an awesome whanau day at school, five staff members, twenty three students, and I had the amazing opportunity to attend a coastal cleanup at Wiroa Island by Auckland airport.

The afternoon itself consisted of picking up rubbish along the coastline with other volunteers from Auckland airport. With great teamwork we managed to find many interesting things that had ended up on the coastline such as an open home sign

or a door handle. As a reward everyone was allowed a ride on a hovercraft, fire fighter training and a good ol’ BBQ along with a $5000 donation to Manurewa High School for our effort.

It was an amazing experience that we are sure not to forget. Thank you to all those that made this possible: Auckland airport staff, Emergency Fire Department, Whaea Barbs, Ms Bossenger, Mr Silk, Mrs Walker & Ms Giborees

FUTURE PATHWAYS COUNCIL

The Future Pathways Council has been set up because there is a need for students in school to be more aware of what the Careers Department do and offer; senior students in particular need information about events / opportunities happening outside of school so they can make informed decisions when they leave. The council leaders are: Fawziya, Jennifer, Roy, Laniana and Bhavna and the careers ambassadors are: Adam, Amandeep, Hayley, Izaiah, Jireh, Mafutanga, Mohammed, Shayal and Shristi.

This year some of our tasks / initiatives involved creating a careers webpage for the school website (which is still in progress), having a noticeboard to encourage our students to read the daily careers notices and assisting Careers when outside organisations such as the Solomon Group and tertiary providers come in to school. Showing that the council is not just careers focussed, we had a sausage sizzle in term two and all profits were donated to the two Y12 volleyball boys, Henry Ape and

Wanyae Suafo’a who went to Florida, America. We also helped with the Health Expo.

We would like to thank all the teachers, leader’s and careers ambassador’s for your dedication to the team in 2016! The future pathways council is always on the lookout for council members to recruit. We therefore welcome all students, junior and senior in 2017 to join the council to help other peers and the department.

STUDENT COUNCILS WELLBEING COUNCIL HEALTH WEEK OUR BEST EVER

It was a massive week at MH celebrating hauora, and it might be inappropriate to say, but the event was infectious.

The two-day Health Expo led by Level 2 Health Education students was a highlight of the week, packed out at interval and lunchtime with curious students wanting to learn more. The Level 2s must surely have nailed their assessments - related to Researching and Raising Awareness of Health Issues - through this wholistic learning experience.

Marlene Iripa’s group identified Diversity as one of the big issues for our school and community. They did their homework, talked to outside providers, and confirmed a lot of facts.

But even Marlene was surprised at how much the message clicked with her fellow students.

“We’ve been gathering signatures to start up a Diversity Group in the school. The response has been amazing. Much more than I would have thought.”

Other big issues included: •Sex Education •Bullying •Gangs •Gender Equality

•Diabetes •Family Violence •Homelessness •Mental Health •Boys and Health Access Lauryn Siua’s group provides an example of how the students are not only aiming to raise awareness, but also to create change. They have developed a proposal for the school to consider changing the school uniforms and bathrooms, to be “genderless”.

“It’s not an issue for our school now but it will be in the future. We want to do something now so that those future students don’t have an issue.”

A range of providers also contributed time and resources to the event. Just Water’s Angelle Andal and Jan Aldrin Santos had a popular stall. It showed how much sugar goes into packaged and fizzy drinks. They sampled a sugar-free alternative, which they say is also half the cost of sugary drinks. Their message fits with a wider promotion at the expo, about diabetes prevention.

Rowie McEvoy, a pint-sized health powerhouse, spoke to Year 9s about a five-point plan for being healthy, fit and strong. It’s not hard, she says: •Be happy

•Drink water till your wee runs clear •Eat from the ground (more vegetables) •Exercise till your puffing (it only takes 10 seconds) •Work your muscles (you don’t have to go to the gym – just do simple exercises at home) Comedian Mike King also captivated the Year 10s with his very positive message around mental health.

Tamara Elliot, who coordinates the Graeme Dingle Foundation programme in our school, demonstrated how fit she is.

Other providers included: •Solomon Group •Curious Minds – South Sci •Auckland Transport •AUT •Family Planning •Endometriosis New Zealand Teacher in charge, Claire Stapleton, has organised Health Week for a number of years, and believes it has been building for this year to be the best yet. “The students really engaged with it.”

Claire had a lot of support from the Wellbeing Council, which is one of the new leadership councils we established in 2016. “The best yet!!!,” Claire says. “The least stressful expo I have had the pleasure of leading due to the tremendous leadership, support and initiative of our wellbeing student council. Thanks team - you were awesome.”

WHANAU COUNCIL

Ray Kroc once said, “The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.” We set very high standards for ourselves as a group this year and have achieved everything that we thought we would and only hope to do better next year.

The Whanau Council is all about family, it’s in the name. We started off as a group who would support the senior staff and deans as well as the various other councils and ended up achieving even more than we thought we would, in the grand scheme of things. From organizing our first big event, Rose Day, to hosting the daily assemblies behind the scenes and even creating a video to voice what the Whanau Council is all about, this year has been

a blast. Having the ability to provide many of the students in the school that usually go unheard, with a voice, to take a part in the making of big decisions about the Ball and Leaver’s gear has been a privilege. Although it may seem as though we haven’t done much this year, a lot of the work we have done, such as car parking and service to the teachers during Student

Achievement Conferences, took place behind the scenes. It has been great getting to know the tons of people that we have and learning the ins and outs of organizing events and I hope we have set the bar for future years’ Whanau Councils. It’s a challenge, but we took it up and I wouldn’t have chosen any other council.

CAREERS AND GATEWAY The Careers Department at Manurewa High School provides our students with various opportunities towards achieving and understanding our career goals. The department allows students to experience different working opportunities, this year there were 102 students that were part of Gateway and 101 Students in STAR. Some of the Gateway courses that Mr Lawton (Workplace Coordinator) has organised in 2016 were: The Warehouse “Red Shirts in Schools” programme, McDonalds, Happy Days, MIT Office Administration, New World Clendon, Gate Gourmet, Waste Management, Watersafe Auckland, Chorus Telecommunications, Bethesda Care, NZ School of Tourism, Air NZ, ANZ Bank and Configure Express.

Mr Craik (Careers Counsellor)

took over 80 students to different careers events this year including the KATTI and PILOT day.

The KATTI day programme is for Māori students making the transition into further education &/or employment opportunities. The PILOT day is a culture-based & communityfocused leadership, empowerment, & development program created to increase the number of emerging leaders in the Pacific Islander community. Both events were for Years 10 to 13. Student feedback: “I learnt that Maori students are supported & where we can go to get support, however there should have been more unis & other places to study involved (NZDF, outside of Auckland polytechs)” and “it was well organised and students were really motivated by the day”.

There were various other events including the annual Open Day at Waikato University in which fifteen year 13 students got to experience a taste of campus life at Hamilton.

Auckland AUT had other events such as the year 13 Steam Ahead, Primary Education Experience Day and DREAM Fonotaga. Student feedback from the Fonotaga were: “It was an amazing experience, I’m so thankful that I was given the chance to attend” and “it was very eventful, I really enjoyed my time there. It was good to be in an environment where Pacific people want to achieve & do well”. Lastly, Women in IT day at the Techtorium, which emphasizes that career paths in IT are not gender dominated. After attending the day, the two girls have signed up for a STAR course with Mr Lawton.

GATEWAY REPORT Gateway is a programme funded by the Tertiary Education Commission that enables senior students to learn and gain NZQA credits while in the workplace. It is designed to make learning relevant and to broaden student’s options while enabling schools to help their students by strengthening the range of career pathways.

Gateway has proved again that this programme is a very effective platform for senior students to gain valuable work experience in areas of interest to them, with 102 students involved in Gateway this year. We had a number of local industries willing to engage our students in work experience within their companies, including, Office Administration, Banking, Telecommunications, Nursing, Early Childhood Education, Travel & Tourism, Building & Construction, Sport & Recreation, Engineering and Police with more new industries

coming on board in 2017.

We placed three year 13 students at Waste Management this year in a pilot programme trialling the 2 plus 3 programme. This is 2 days in the work place and 3 days at school, the programme has been so successful that the three students were offered full time employment and paid training for 2017. Next year we hope to offer more work placements at Downer, Grayson Engineering, Safework Scaffolding through Gateway, as more employers realise the value of the Gateway Programme.

Once again our Hospitality industries have been strong supporters of the school with Happy Days Family Restaurant placing 19 of our year 12’s in term 1. Also, McDonalds and Gate Gourmet offer many of our senior students work place opportunities through the Gateway Programme with the offer of part time work upon successful completion. Thanks again

to Bruce Wong of Happy Days, Stephen Smith of Gate Gourmet and Marion Hila-Tuaivi from McDonalds for their continued support.

The Red Shirt in Schools Programme known as (RSIS) is ever popular among our seniors and job placements at The Warehouse Manukau in Term 1 and 2 for 1 day per week for 10 weeks give valuable work experience opportunities in the customer service industry. Thanks also to The Warehouse for their continued support to our students and school.

To all my Gateway students of 2016, to those leaving school… best of luck for the future whatever you do and wherever you go, and to those returning to school in 2017, don’t forget to sign up for gateway early.

EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM HILLARY OUTDOORS SCHOLARSHIP Aaron Lew - When the Year 10’s were challenged to apply for an adventure camp one winter morning, I initially scoffed at the idea, as did most of my similarly skeptical friends.

As if we, the nerds of M.H. would ever survive this gauntlet! However, after careful consideration, I quickly composed and hit the ‘send’ button on an application, and a few weeks later, I boarded the van that would take me to Tongariro. Arriving with much trepidation, I soon became immersed in a world of risky journeys and reckless adventure. Whilst courses like canoeing and high-ropes were easier than others (the two-day tramp) I emerged from the experience beaten, bruised but with a sense of hard-fought triumph. I had developed as a leader, a friend and a person; gotten to know some amazing people; pushed my brain and body to its limits; and had taken a hesitant step out of the comfort of the classroom into the unrelenting outdoors. I am happy to say I am only stronger and wiser because of it.

Caylee Faneva - We learnt how to work in a team and problem solve.

Another thing that I learnt was that communication is vital when you are working in a group. Also I learnt that in order to work together everyone has to contribute to the team. Participation is the most important thing when working in a team. Before I went to OPC I was unsure of what activities we were doing. Hiking for 5-6 hours in native bush was not what I had in mind or ab sailing down a huge great rock wall. The ab sailing was the scariest thing I’ve ever done before especially when my fear was heights.

The support from my team was great, and the sentence don’t overthink it was going through my head the whole time till I got to the bottom. I never knew any other student that travelled down to OPC with me besides Benn I thought that the whole week would be very awkward. The activities we did just made us tighter everyday. And coming home with smiles and laughs was even better. In my personal experience I believe I have changed into a more confident person that will challenge myself and speak out more.

Benn Vakalahi - Thank you for giving me an opportunity to experience something really fun. I enjoyed cooperating with other people and also completing obstacles that I never thought I’d ever do! I really had fun and I reckon this was worth going to. I’d like to say thank you to the teachers, Mr Borthwick & Mrs Renyolds for being a part of this and helping us through the week, and for supervising us throughout this incredible event.

Finally, a huge thank you to those who fundraised for us, because without you guys this event wouldn’t have been possible, really grateful for what you guys did.

John Chen - OPC camp was a life-changing experience. OPC camp provided challenges which pushed us to our limit; being uncomfortable at the time, but definitely rewarding afterwards. The discount in which we were given was truly remarkable.

I feel that by having this discount, many more students were able to experience this camp without having to worry about the economical burden.

OPC camp is a experience that I will cherish forever. It provides a unique leadership experience that nurtures and develops vital leadership skills while also developing our love and respect for nature.

CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

YR TEN ZOO TRIP

On the 1st and 7th of September a number of our year 10 Science classes had the opportunity to go to the Auckland Zoo for the day. Here students were able to see a wide range of animals from all over the world as well as participate in an education session with Zoo educators. They learnt about Elephants, Baboons and Cheetahs and the adaptations that help these species to live successfully in their environments. This fitted into our genetics topic where we were looking at how species are adapted for their environment and how these features are passed down in our DNA.

It’s been a very interesting year for RFG (Rewa Fellowship Group). We started off the year quite small in numbers, due to the loss of Year 13s last year who have now left school, though it has been fantastic seeing a couple of new faces and even a lot more staff. This year, we got to hear some inspiring testimonies and real life experiences, and it has been great to hear some stories from Mr Hendrikse about his Missions trip to Pakistan. For those who do not know what RFG is, we are a student and staff run group that meet every Tuesdays Lunchtime in I4. Each week we get together to eat, play games, and learn and hear stories from various speakers. Our RFG group is open to anyone and everyone! So whether you are seeking refuge from the cold, hiding from your priorities or are really genuinely intrigued, feel free to join us! Looking forward to seeing you next year! Here is an encouragement verse Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plan I have for you” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”, from the Bible!

THRIVING ON A BUSINESS BOOT CAMP

72

Spending a week away from home on a boot camp with students from all over Auckland took Annette Kaitapu out of her comfort zone.

The boot camp provided students doing the Lion Foundation Young Enterprise programme with opportunities to network and learn from businesspeople. Run by Massey University, it blended workshops that explained business concepts, with business site visits. The approach developed students’ business knowledge and skills.

Through the Rising Foundation, Annette has been lucky enough to do an Outward Bound course at Anakiwa (her favourite place!). This course includes the requirement to spend a day and a night in the outdoors, by yourself. She says being away from home on the Massey Boot Camp was a different kind of challenge – maybe a bit more comfortable, but also requiring courage.

“Each day we’d get into teams and visit a company. When we got back, we’d discuss the experience within our teams. We then had to develop a presentation about the company to present to the other teams.”

Some of the businesses involved were HP New Zealand, Sovereign, BNZ, Jucy World, Chelsea Sugar, Air New Zealand, Fonterra, Colliers, Pita Pit and KFC. Some of the business skills developed included: •how to sell yourself •how to startup a business •public speaking Each night there were social activities including a Master Chef competition, Games Night and a Fireside Talent Show.

Through her participation in the boot camp, Annette has been awarded a $1000 scholarship toward study at Massey University.

It’s great to see our students taking advantage of these extra learning and networking opportunities!

CHINA EXCHANGE BIOLOGY AUCKLAND ZOO TRIP

Our trip to China on 8-22 December 2015 was a lifetime experience. The purpose of this trip was to interact and engage with the students from Number 1 Jingmen High School and Number 1 Yichun Middle School and be ambassadors for our school promoting the opportunity offered here at Manurewa High School. During the two weeks we got the opportunity to explore and encounter daily life as a Chinese student. We adapted to their daily routine of school from 7am till 10pm, we tasted a variety of traditional Chinese dishes and their way of life. We were involved in various activities such as making dumplings, dancing, community service, Chinese calligraphy and meeting the lovely students from both schools. As a treat to end our trip, we visited Beijing and had the opportunity to explore the Great Wall of China, Summer Palace and Tiananmen Square. This journey was a life changing trip for all of us getting to experience life in China, being treated a bit like stars (especially Kartik as the only boy), as there were very few westerners where we went, seeing the beauty of the Yichun countryside, and to see how different it is to New Zealand.

Telelina Crichton, Fawziya Ali, Kartik Ohari, Jessie Chen, Sulani Helg.

This year the Biology Department took around 40 students to the Auckland Zoo on the 8th of July. This trip was conducted so that students gained a better understanding of human evolution. The students received a thorough and intensive presentation of human evolution, which is covered in the Achievement Standard 91603 and is worth 4 credits

in the external exam. The students also had a hands on experience studying human and ape skulls and skeletons, which further enhanced their understanding of how humans have evolved. The teacher in charge of this trip was Mrs K. Devi-Govind (TIC Biology) and other staff that were involved during the day were Mrs N. Stevens and Mrs L. Palmer.

MAD SUSTAINABILITY HUI

From the April 27-29, I, HannahJayne Rodokal and another student, Buua Redfern, leaders of the environmental council were invited to take part in this year’s MAD (Make A Difference) Sustainability Hui. The Hui is centred on the idea of living sustainably with the environmental issues we face and how we can be leaders in finding solutions to these problems. Although it was only a few days long, we learnt so much and met many like-minded people.

Over the course of the Hui, we participated in many workshops.

One of my favourite workshops was run by Waicare which taught us the signs of a healthy stream and how to carry out water quality testing. I found it interesting to see what signs of life you can find in a stream such as crayfish (koura) and the larvae of different kinds of bugs. They’re far from what you’d expect them to look like in reality! The camp allowed us

to connect with nature a little bit more than you normally would living in the city.

Other workshops focused on leadership skills. We learnt that starting small is essential to a growing project or idea. That is something I believe the environmental council is trying to achieve throughout this year with our action plan of motivating other students to get involved. As more students get involved, I believe we will grab the attention of the outside community as people motivate other people. Getting involved in events such as stream or beach clean ups is a great way to help sustain our environment as well as have a fun day with friends.

The MAD hui provided a large network of opportunity and I realised that there is always something to be learnt from any experience.

SPORTS REPORTS VOLLEYBALL PREMIER SENIOR BOYS

The Volleyball Premier Senior Boys enjoyed an extremely successful season this year. They placed 1st at Auckland Champs for the second year in a row with Tala Potifara being named as MVP, and Henry Ap’e and Uatisoni Aso named in the Tournament Team.

They then went down to Nationals and earnt the privilege to represent their school in the final. They had the overwhelming support of the crowd in a tough game against a quality Westlake Boys side. They came away with the silver medal, which although not the outcome they desired, is still an outstanding result and Tala and Henry were once again named in the

Tournament Team. Henry and Wanyae Sua’foa were then selected for the NZ U17 team and travelled to USA to represent our country.

The determination of the boys to improve on their performances for next year is admirable. They have already begun training hard, playing club volleyball and representing Oceania at a recent U19 tournament in Fiji.

They are travelling down to Nelson at the end of the year to visit Mr Gargiulo and play pre-season games. The team would like to say a massive thanks for all the support they have received and can’t wait for the 2017 season.

OPEN GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM

Our basketball team this year has been a rollercoaster ride. From early morning trainings to after school trainings it was really hectic. As a team, we were able to gain a lot more knowledge on what basketball is as a sport and what we can do to become better basketball players on and off the court. Our coach was there through everything, from taking the time out of his busy day, which he could have been spending with his family, to come and coach the team has been something that we never really took in.

We are grateful and appreciative for all that he has done as well as his lovely wife to be able to coach and manage us. Overall, we had a lot of fun and it was a great experience to be able to be part of the girls’ basketball team for 2016. Thank you to the girls who were part of this team and who always put 100% effort into our games.

UNDER 14 RUGBY BOYS

The U14 Rugby Boys willingly stepped up to the challenge when they got the opportunity to play in the Auckland U14 A competition.

Captained by Moses Esera they played tough games week in week out. They fought back after losing all their games in the first round to beat MAGS and draw to De La Salle in the second. In their final game of the season they scored the only points against the eventual champions Kelston Boys when Ojani Lalogafau scored a run away try and Moses converted it. They learnt to “run like Thomas” and develop their discipline both on and off the field. This group of boys then chose to enter 2 teams in the Counties U15 7s tournament when there was no U14 competition. Their love of rugby is admirable and both management and players cannot wait for the 2018 season.

RUGBY UNION 2ND XV

The 2016 Manurewa High School 2nd XV were a team with great depth.

Coached by Mr Bruno Watkins and Mr Maitai Kahindi, managed by Miss Annabel Walsh and captained by ‘Alamoti Funaki, the 2nd had a great season full of tough, close games.

While still a young team, this group showed great promise and has a big

future ahead of them. They had some great wins throughout the season; most notably against Waiuku College, at the end of the season, winning 46nil. Their biggest nemesis this season being James Cook High School First XV. With three close games played throughout the season, this led to a very tense semi-final; unfortunately,

going down 26-13 to finish third overall in the competition. Our standout players of the season were: Paea Tava, awarded Best Forward; Joe Semaia awarded Best Back; Mafutaga Fa’aleaoga awarded Most Improved Player and ‘Alamoti Funaki, awarded Most Valuable Player.

RUGBY LEAGUE FIRST XIII

The first XIII Rugby League boys team worked hard this year to get themselves recognised and to get to the highest they can in the season and at Nationals. The boys fought hard at every game but unfortunately fell short when losing to Kelston Boys High School during the season games, this did not hinder their determination as they continued to fight through every match. Their determination got them through to the plate round against Southern Cross Campus, in one match Manurewa High School

played with only 12 players, the boys pushed through right to the last second and came out on top winning the plate round. During the Nationals Tournament, the boys worked on a lot of team building and training in preparation for the Nationals Tournament but unfortunately fell short and claimed 5th place overall.

From the manager – thank you for all your great work and your respect. You fought through to the end and through all the obstacles that you had to face.

Well done!

OPEN BOYS BASKETBALL

76

The Open Boys Basketball team were outstanding this year led by Pafe Momoisea and Sakiasi Faaui. They won the Counties Manukau Open Basketball tournament defeating a tough Saint Kentigern team. The boys qualified for Greater Auckland Basketball Champs as a result.

Heavily viewed as the underdogs; our boys never gave up. We faced Saint Peters in the finals after winning two out of three round robin games, then again defeating Saint Kentigern in the semis. Unfortunately, we fell short in the finals loosing to Saint Peters in a game that went right to the final buzzer. We are still very proud of our boys for an outstanding season.

Sakiasi Faaui, Cameron Schipplock, Folomalo Toelupe, Siaosi Siafa, Tyler Oversluizen, Andrew Peni and Sidrick Salting, we wish you all the best as you graduate from MHS. The team would like to thank all our parents and supporters who showed up all season long. 2017 can’t come soon enough.

Alo Viliamu (team manager)

We had a very successful 2016 season and went through huge improvements in order to get there.

Throughout our entire season we were seen as the underdogs whom no one expected to get any more than a few lucky wins but we were able to prove everyone wrong and go the distance.

From not being on anyone’s radar, to being the top team in counties, and then top two in the Greater Auckland competition. In my opinion we were able to do so well due to our abillity to treat every game the same and also because no matter who or how long anyone was on the court we played our hearts out for our school, our families and most importantly each other. So glad we were able to come away with the results we did, despite whatever negatives came with it, to put ourselves in a good position for next years season and also to be able to farewell our year 13 brothers in such an appropriate way.

FOOTBALL

This year the Manurewa High school 1st XI football team had a memorable season. But we have to remember memorable doesn’t necessarily indicate ‘great’. As a team we had many ups and downs along the road, but that’s what all teams face; but in our case you could say we were down a declining road for a long time. Nevertheless, we started our season off quite well with the first couple of games drawing against teams such as Strathallan, Al Madinah and Aorere.

Our first game of the season was against Strathallan, as Strathallan was a private decile 10 school we doubted ourselves and thought we had no chance to win.

What a surprise we had in store when we scored the opening goal of the match with a shot from deep, struck right into the top right corner of the goal scored by Avishek. The end result of the game was a draw that we were thrilled and satisfied about at the same time. However later on in the season, we began to lose a couple of games and slowly our team moral began to drop but we had one thing going for us as a team (that we assume is a historic achievement in our school) and that is the highest number of own goals in a season by any team in Manurewa High School. What stunners some of those own goals were! Yeah….

Back to the season, after our drought engulfed by losses we sorted our mess out in the end. The competition was separated into two, the top four teams battling out for 1st place and the bottom five, just trying to stay in the competition for next season. You guessed it right we were placed in the bottom five, but the realisation that our school could be dropped a grade for the next season was daunting for the team. With the help of our coaches we focused more and dedicated ourselves more to the team.

With this came success, we didn’t come first but we placed second place with consecutive wins in our competition. This year in particular was a great year for our school in terms of expanding the name of football in our predominately rugby based school, with four male teams and a female team. It is fair to say that the goal of the season has to go to Ramail with a shot from deep sneaking in the goal between the crossbar and the keepers hand, I forgot to add that this was also an own goal. At the end of the day we had fun playing the sport we loved; football.

What a memorable season it was for us.

Big thanks to Mr T Williams and Mr A Kemp for coaching us. Special thanks to Mr A Williams for managing us. On behalf of the boys we really appreciate what all of you have done for us throughout the season. Damien Kumar

RUGBY FIRST XV

In Term 1 of this year, a group of boys came together to form the 2016 1st XV. These boys came from various year levels, whanau, and cultures.

Uniting for a common cause, rugby.

The team was coached by Mr Deon Wagner and Mr Lando Sialeipata, managed by Ms Karlene Morgan and Miss Sara Blackburn. The coaching and management team provided the boys with a strong focus on monitoring the boys training, skill development, learning, behaviour and attendance.

Instilling in the boys a commitment to uniting and working as one.

By Pele Motuga: Captain 1st XV Each week our relationships grew stronger because of the values we followed. BRIC: Brotherhood, Respect, Integrity and Commitment.

These values kept us going week in and week out, with working hard at trainings, each player fighting for a starting position. The commitment that we made to the team was based around our BRIC values as well as our education, behaviour in and out of the classroom and attendance. The boys knew that if they slipped up in any area they could end up being stood down from a game. A few boys did get stood down over the season, leaving the rest of the team to step up and work around those missing players.

In the Chiefs Cup tournament, the boys never gave up on each other, they kept fighting for the win, right to the very end. Our first game took us to Rotorua, where we unfortunately lost our vice-captain, Peni Finau, in the opening minutes of the game to a neck injury. We lost this game 15-41 and fought hard for every point. Our next few games in the Chiefs Cup

weren’t successful, being defeated by both Hamilton Boys 0-48 and St Johns 30-6, we knew we were in for a tough tournament. Not making the finals in this tournament gave our boys the determination and passion to succeed in the Counties Manukau Rainbows End competition.

The boys all made a promise that we will work hard. We knew that we would be coming up against St Johns College again and we were determined to meet and beat them in the finals on the Counties Competition.

The trainings and the work effort that the boys put in each week, started to show through in our games and our results. We managed to defeat every team that stood across from us, fighting our way back to the top so we can take on St Johns, our biggest rivals, in the finals. We took on every team and every game as if it were our last, and the score line showed it.

Vs: Rosehill 46-29 Vs: Te Awamutu 34-10 Vs: Alfriston 48-9 Vs: Pukekohe 33-6 Vs: St Johns 30-6 Vs: Matamata 69-0 Vs: Cambridge High 31-10 Semi FinalVs: Cambridge 38-10 We had pushed our way back to take on St Johns in the finals. Playing them on their home ground was hard, the pressure we put on ourselves was immense, but we had made it. It was a game of two halves and unfortunately, we lost them both. But, we were still proud, proud that we had worked together throughout the season, proud that we had made the finals, proud that we were one. We lost the game 22-7, but we knew our journey wasn’t over.

We now had to shift our focus to qualifying for Co-Ed Nationals. We were playing a school we had never heard of before, Te Whare Kura o Mauao, from Tauranga. Our boys played with honour, dignity and pride, defeating the Kura 69-5. This win sent us through to the finals for the spot of Co-Ed School in the Chiefs Division.

We had to get through one more game against St Peters from Hamilton.

Every minute of that match was hard fought. The score board does not justify the effort, perseverance and determination our boys had to win this. Unfortunately, once again, the game that mattered was a loss, 25-17, which ended our chances of going to Nationals.

This journey has been an amazing experience. I am honoured to not only be a member of the team but to having the privilege of Captaining a talented group of players.

Special thanks to Mr Wagner and Mr Sialeipata for coaching and guiding us through this journey. To our two caring managers, Ms Morgan for the hours put into monitoring our attendance and behaviour, and to Miss Blackburn for the amazing food. To Mel for our shirts, we do look incredible. To Ms Morgan’s son, Ethyn, for always being there to help us with setting up and helping our managers out. We really appreciate what all of you have done for us throughout the season.

This year has been one hell of a ride with the boys in gold and green.

For us to play in the jersey meant a lot to all of us. It has been an honour and a privilege to represent our school.
