Student Success “ P i k i at u k i t e r a n g i , A i m H i g h , St r i v e f o r E xc e l l e n c e ”

Tena Koutou, it is again an honour to be writing the introduction to our 2017 year book as proud Principal of Manurewa High School.

Proud of all the many fantastic achievements of our students and staff which fill the pages ahead.

This year book is all about our values. First of all RESPECT – the opportunity for us to acknowledge and show respect to the many achievements of our learners, students and staff alike. I would also like to specifically mention and show respect for two people who have recently passed away. Murray Hollis was a teacher here from 1979 – 2017, giving our school almost 40 years of service. We found out on the first day of term 4 that Murray had died suddenly the day before. Then over the long weekend Connor Talaimanu was tragically killed in a car accident at the age of 29. Connor attended MHS from 2002 – 2006 and was an excellent student both academically and as a sportsman. You can read more about Murray and Connor in the pages ahead, they will both be missed by many and we value their contribution to our school. This time last year I gave a quote from Mohammed Ali which seems even more relevant now:

“ D o n ’ t c o u n t t h e d ay s , m a k e t h e d ay s c o u n t ” ( M o h a m m e d A l i 1 9 42 - 2 0 1 6) The achievements in this year book also represent our second value EXCELLENCE. When you listen to people talk about those who achieve excellence you hear phrases like they are talented, they have a gift, born with it, a natural. Hard work trumps talent when talent doesn’t work hard. All the people throughout this year book have worked hard and whatever you do in life, if you really want to “Piki atu ki te rangi, Aim High, Strive for Excellence” there is no substitute for hard work. Some of my particular highlights nave been: Namisha Chand being selected to represent New Zealand at the London Youth International Science Forum

We have a sign at the front gate ‘Together we Achieve’ which represents our third value WHANAUNGATANGA. I want to take this opportunity to thank all our whaanau who support us; mums, dads, caregivers, grandparents, partners, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, friends – never underestimate the value of your aroha and support. I would also like to acknowledge and thank our Board of Trustees for their governance and guidance, especially Steve Smith our Chairperson and Stuart King who will be stepping down this year after eleven years exceptional service to our school. Thank you to our business community and alumni who regularly come in to help us, our teachers, support staff and Senior Leadership Team who all work so hard. We are very fortunate to have so many dedicated and passionate people who spend so much time helping our rangatira to REWAlise their passions and achieve their potential.

“ T h e st r e n gt h o f t h e t e a m i s e ac h i n d i v i d u a l m e m b e r .

T h e st r e n gt h o f e ac h i n d i v i d u a l m e m b e r is The Team.”

Going back to that sign at the front gate, every year we have a number of staff as well as students who leave us for professional and personal reasons.

In wishing everyone the best for their future I just want to specifically thank one person who is on that sign and is taking leave next year to spend some time with her whaanau in Australia. Thank you Ms Toloa for everything you have done for our school and enjoy the special time with your family. Ms Toloa gave a great quote at our Y13 leavers assembly –

“A d r e a m w i t h o u t a p l a n i s a w i s h ” We have a dream at Manurewa High School to grow great leaders and a plan with a leadership model based on service leadership. This applies to staff as well as students, so our plan for 2018 is that Whaea Barbs will be stepping up to be Deputy Principal. Whaea Barbs was a former Head Girl at Manurewa High School, she currently leads our amazing Dance learning area and has been the person who has developed our service leadership model over the last two years.

Finally to our fourth value and our core business AKORANGA. The skills of learning are so important to everyone’s future because with the constant change in our world, we all need to keep learning throughout life. At Manurewa High School we work hard to grow young people who when they leave us are, strong in their cultural identity, have gained qualifications relevant to their future pathway, are digitally fluent and live our values.

There are many examples throughout this year book of how our teachers have worked hard to provide inspiring learning opportunities for so many of our students.

Enjoy this year book which is full of akoranga that has been taking place anytime, anywhere, any place, any space. A year book full of teams, dreams, plans coming together and a celebration of all that is great about Manurewa High School and our community.

A special thank you to our editor Rangituhia Hollis for his amazing work.

Student leaders

E muamua lava ona si’i le viiga ma le faafetai I le tama o le lagi, uo mafai ona tatou faatasia I lenei aso faapitoa. E moli atu fo’i le faafetai tele i matua I lo outou lagolago mai I taumafaiga o le fanau, ae maise ali’i ma tama’ita’I faiaoga faapea le susuga ile ali’I pule, o lo’o feagai ma le a’oa’oina o matou le fanau.

Talofa Lava, my name is Sau Fatuleai and I am 18years of age. And in my 18 years I have spent 5 of those at Manurewa High School. Being here for that long I have learnt so many valuable lessons which have shaped me to become the person I am today.

All my life, I’ve grown up in the same community. I was a student at Homai Primary School, Manurewa Intermediate and now it only right that I finish off at Manurewa High School. But because I grew up in this community, I was looked down upon by so many people who have never even stepped foot into South Auckland, let alone Manurewa.

They have not seen the magic and the talent that I am privileged to see every single day.

Every day, I see students who are achieving not only sports but also in the arts and academically as well. I see students who are wanting to make a change in the world, and are fighting against the stereotypes that people have made about us.

Sau Fatuleai Head Girl

When I was younger, because I was a Polynesian girl who was brought up in the ‘hood’ I was expected to become an uneducated illiterate student who was to statistically proven to drop out of school by 16. But I didn’t want a computer to dictate my future, so I proved them wrong. I became the headgirl at Homai Primary, Manurewa Intermediate and now Manurewa High School, I have passed Level 1, 2 & 3 with a merit endorsement.

I am the 2nd in my family to graduate from high school and will be the 1st to attend university. And I have already been offered a place to gain my bcomm in AUT for 2018.

I’m telling you all of this because, that can be you too. In a few years, you could be the one here telling everyone about your achievements and being proud of them. Showing everyone that you are more than any statistic that has been uploaded online saying you are anything but the best.

We are the kids from REWA, the school that teaches their students about aiming high.

As head girl, I feel it is my duty to help the future leaders of our school to become the best versions of themselves by giving few tips and advice that I learnt while being here at Manurewa High School.

TIP ONE Never give up You will come across so many trials and obstacles in your life that’ll try to knock you down. Have faith in yourself, although there will be people who are there to support you from the side line, it is up to you whether you get back up and start fighting again.. You are from REWA, you don’t give up easily, you don’t give up at all.

pafe Momoisea Head Boy

TIP TWO Stay true to who you are and what you believe in Don’t let anyone take away how you feel. Stand up for what you believe is right, because if you don’t, who will?

TIP THREE make memories you will cherish forever Believe me when I say time flies. Its crazy to think that just 2 years ago I was getting ready to sit my externals and not having to worry about university yet. If I could go back in time, I would involve myself in as much extracurricular activities as possible. Rather than sticking to a single thing. I wish someone had told me that once you hit year 13, you won’t have much time to do fun things because you’ll be getting ready to prepare for the future.

I wish you all the best for next year.

Thank you, Faafetai lava.

IN MEMORIUM

Connor Talaimanu

David Voisey (left) Murray Hollis (right) Murray passed on the 15th of October, 2017.

Loving father of Rebecca and Christopher Hollis.

Former husband of Carolyn Grace.

I met Murray on his first day at Manurewa High in 1979. Although he was employed as a teacher of Mathematics he came from Ngaruawahia High School where he had been a teacher of History (my subject). I am still at the school (53 years after my arrival in 1964) and while Murray’s final year as a full-time teacher was 2011 he continued as a reliever 38 years after his arrival.

In 2016 a member of the Maths Department took a photo of the two of us and labelled it “100 years of teaching”. Both of us were doing reliever work in school classrooms right up to 2017.

Here are some Facebook Comments: “My favourite Maths teacher.” “A kindhearted man who did good.”

“A life of public service well spent helping thousands of young people.”

“The best Maths teacher I ever had.” “A fantastic Maths teacher.”

“Definitely a character and an awesome Maths teacher.”

“This guy was the Man at Maths. The human calculator for sure.”

Matt Metcalfe was both MHS Alumni and teacher. He wrote: “Had him as a teacher and a colleague. A man of great character and fun. I will miss the games of 500 in the lunchbreak. Time to swindle the gatekeeper with an open misere.”

Murray always sat at the same seat in the staffroom at interval and lunchtime and spent most of his time there playing cards. Rob Henley described Murray as the card table.

Murray was a humble no-fuss teacher. He also coached school tennis teams for years. As well as card playing he also enjoyed music, reading and crossword puzzles.

Connor James Levi Talaimanu.

Born June 03, 1988. Passed away on October 23, 2017.

It was with great sadness that we informed our Manurewa High School community, past and present, that Connor Talaimanu passed away on Monday 23rd October. Connor attended Manurewa High School from 2002 - 2006. He was a valued member of the 2006 prefect team and a member of numerous sports teams including the 1st XV Rugby and Touch teams.

Only 29 years of age you have been taken too soon Son. We love you so much Connor Boy that no words can convey the sorrow and despair we feel. You will forever live in our hearts and minds and we will celebrate your life and the great man you have b ecome. Every member of your family and friends will commit to this with every day we live, forever and ever.

Deeply loved son of Andrew and Vivianne, brother of Renee, brother in law Manaaki and Uncle to Isla. Grandson of the Late Levi and Christina Talaimanu and Doug and the Late Leonie Knight. Much loved cousin and nephew to your many cousins, Uncles and Aunties of the Talaimanu and Knight family.

One experience both Murray and I share is being informed by students that you taught their parents. When Murray was told “you taught my grandmother” he decided it was time to stop full-time teaching and do relieving.

My trip to the United States for the FPSIC was a fast-paced, intense trek around some of the most lovely places in the country. Upon arriving at the scenic campus of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, my team located our residential hall and unpacked. We lived like college students while we were there, having to eat in a mess hall, use communal bathrooms and sleep in dorms. I liked it, despite the sweltering heat.

With our chosen topic being biosecurity, an increasingly important field of science in today’s globalised world, I felt more connected to careers in science and technology than before. All FPS topics usually have a strong link to science and technology, but the biosecurity topic really changed how I thought about career paths in science and technology, from careers that provide societal advancements to careers that, frankly, hold society up. We rely on science and technology so much.

The opening ceremony, held, the day after we arrived on campus, showed me how involvement with science and technology can garner support from educational organisations like FPS. The two recipients of a $2,000 scholarship, both girls, one from NZ, one from the U.S.A., were strong advocates for the science and technology world. Their fields of interest were climate change and genetic engineering, respectively.

This demonstrated more of the available career paths in science and technology to me by showing me the variety of science and technology pathways one can go down. The typical idea of a science career – medicine, engineering – does not apply anymore when in a few decades there will be a demand for scientists who specialise in areas that do not yet exist.

Attending FPSIC and participating with like-minded students has benefitted me by giving me hope about the future state of the world.

While things may seem dire, there will always be young minds that want to do better. Seeing the thousands gathered in the opening ceremony hall, overhearing the occasional conversation about pollution or genetic modification, engaging with students from all around the world and their views on science and politics, I felt very connected to each of the people here. We are all bonded by our determination to alleviate some of the world’s problems.

As my team and I revised over our biosecurity research, I felt an increasing sense of duty. FPS is a confronting programme that lays the world’s challenges at our feet. We cannot turn a screen off and desensitise ourselves to climate change, mass extinction, tropical healthcare (lack thereof). Thus, I found my head swarming with somewhat pessimistic thoughts about the state of the planet. FPSIC inspired me to initiate a positive change in this world. I’ve read old mock exams from the 90’s, and the solutions school children ideated back then, actually exist today. I was inspired – will a school child in 2050 read an old booklet of mine and see the solutions paralleled in their world?

I want to use my skill set to contribute to environmental sciences, thanks to the drive FPS instilled in me. The programme not only advocates for the safety of future generations, it enthuses current generations to care. I care. We have a duty to.

10

The whole experience really solidified my love of problem-solving. I learnt that I thrive under pressure. I learnt that I feel intensely rewarded by challenges. In our exam especially, (Global Issues Problem Solving, Middle Division) which focused on the re-animation of an extinct Calamite species into a forest reserve in Costa Rica, my head was buzzing with equal excitement and dread. The six-step method of FPS has engrained in me an invaluable process for problem-solving that is both thorough and rewarding. Attending FPSIC has helped me realise the personal satisfaction I get from solving problems and helping others.

While attending FPSIC 2017, I enjoyed the immersion in a new environment. I liked sightseeing in Chicago, observing local landmarks in LaCrosse and talking to people from all around the country. The cultural demographic of the States, being largely different to New Zealand’s, fascinated me. Likewise, Americans were awed by my accent and background. The bonds I made with people at FPSIC will always serve as a reminder of the potential our generation has, and the common shared interest between us: solving the problems of the future.

What a year this gentleman had! Sonatane is a great musician but perhaps even a greater human, the size of his musical brain is immense yet it is dwarfed by the size of his heart.

Sonatane has won more things in 2017 than most of us will win a lifetime yet he remains incredibly grounded and humble, this will put him in great stead for what will be a long career in Music.

Coming First in Smokefree Rockquest is an achievement, this is the competition that discovered the likes of Bic Runga, Midnight Youth and Nesican Mysic and has allowed Sona to professionally record a single and shoot a video. His Song Birdie captivated all those who heard it and given that he has been interviewed by the likes of Kim Hill the reach of this song has been far and wide.

Sonatane has a gift for writing great songs, he crafts beautiful melodies that sit on top of advanced but uncannily familiar harmonies thus creating the musical equivalent of using cutting edge technologies to create something that has the comfort level of an old family sofa. He writes lyrics that seem real and he can seamlessly write from someone else’s point of view. His lyrics span many topics and are always sincere.

Sonatane has a busy schedule in front of him including summer performances with Tommy Nee.

Namisha Chand (13 KJH) attends the London International Youth Science Forum Namisha has broken a 20 year drought! We have tried for 20 years to get a student into this premier and internationally sought after event – the standard is extremely high and only 6 students from New Zealand were invited.

The trip ran from July 26th to August 9th and was held at the Imperial College in London. Namisha was awarded substantial funding to attend and represent both New Zealand and our school. After the event she then flew to Geneva to continue the trip with a visit to CERN to see the particle accelerator and learn about particle Physics.

Namisha was exposed to world leaders in the Sciences, and had the chance to investigate cutting edge technologies.

She, and her fellow international delegates, were afforded the amazing opportunity to take an inside look at research centres and highly regarded scientific institutes. In-between trips she attended lectures by world leading experts and academics.

She also took part in workshops on Science ethics and communication, not to mention debates. Time was also set aside for formal dinners, museum trips, opening and closing parties, fashion and cultural evenings as well as traditional London tourist outings, including the London Eye, Tower of London and Stonehenge.

After returning Namisha faced the uphill battle of catching up all the work she had missed back at school – we do cover quite a lot in three weeks! With the help of staff, she has managed to negotiate the mammoth catch-up task.

We are very proud of Namisha and her determination to make the most of this incredible opportunity, and we know she will continue to grow and develop the skills she gained in London.

Their music reflected their musical and cultural influences and took them to Second Place in the National final of SmokefreePacificBeats and First Place in Stand Up Stand Out. “The entire process leading up to now has grown us as a band and individually. In our music,our relationship with each other, and how it’s created a stronger bond within the band as a whole.

None of us expected to have the year that we did, but...in saying that we give the uttermost amount of credibility to our teachers and families that have pushed us to go further resulting in our success this year! It’s the music, it brings us together and being able to create something that connects everyone is everything.”

This year 31 Manurewa High School students in the year 13 Creative Design class, took part in the Future Animators Exhibition at Nathan Homestead.

Future Animators is a program that has been running for 5 years in partnership with Te Tuhi - Centre for the Arts. The relationship includes an exhibtion, which has the purpose of giving students real world experience and exposure to the wider arts community. The connection to Te Tuhi is an important aspect of broadening the creative conversation in which the students can participate. In that regard Te Tuhi Educator and Artist Salome Tanuvasa became a familiar figure at MHS this year, as she visited on a number of occaisions to discuss the creative processes of students in a one on one basis - Kanohi/Kanohi. This year the Auckland Council and Nathan Homestead got on board to host the exhibtion locally in Manurewa. With a mid-year snapshot of the students personal design and digital sculpture projects. The works in progress were exhibited between 11th of August and the 16th of September. The show was a huge success, gaining a lot of media attention. Students as well as the wider community should be proud of the high standard of creative work produced by our students.

Business School partnership

One of the benefits of our partnership is that three students a year have the opportunity to study in the Business School with all tuition fees met. This is one of the most valuable scholarships offered by the university.

As we go to press, candidates are being interviewed by a selection panel.

The EY mentoring group - post session photo opp on the rooftop deck at EY – our students are Luke, Fateh, Serenity, Xavier, Andre, Hamish, Sau, Amber and Orepa. Marlene was away that day.

NZ’s most inspirational enterprise teacher Miss O’Riordan’s daughter Eden helps her to accept her award.

We were thrilled that Emma O’Riordan won the Sir James Fletcher award for the Most Inspiring Young Enterprise Teacher.

This recognises teachers who go above and beyond and make a significant difference to teaching and inspiring students around enterprise, business and entrepreneurship. Miss O’Riordan was praised for being “utterly student-focused with an innovative and proactive approach”.

Her achievements over the past five years include: Supporting the success of many Young Enterprise award winning student businesses.

Students in the IGNITION group went to the Kea World Class NZers event and chased down Maru Nihoniho after her talk. They convinced her to visit school and talk to hundreds more about her journey from school to the top of the online gaming world.

We hosted the Hynds family, representatives from EY, and Pip Duncalf for dinner in August. This was in thanks for their support of our Future Problem Solving Internationals team. We also invited students and families involved in the new mentoring programme being provided by EY. Our Hospitality and Catering students gave us a fantastic meal and the 60 guests left very impressed.

Thanks to Mrs Dreadon for awesome support before, during and post the event.

BUSINESS STUDIES 2017 has been an incredible and amazing year for the Business Department.

Level One Business Studies

Vodafone #Code Like A Girl

LINKS WITH THE TRADE ACADEMY We’re working with MHS Trades Academies to support the building of our PopUp Business Academy project. This includes fitting our three containers which will be situated near the Old Whare. MIT and a range of sponsors have made it a success.

Thanks to Hynds, Toll, Cabjacks, Mitre 10 Manukau, JA Russell, NuLook East, and Dulux.

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

Year 11 students did BP Business 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 an entrepreneur Maru Nihoniho from Metia Interactive present to Year 11 Business student on her experience regarding how she develops her game design and development services business. This enriched our students on internal factors affecting small business and they were able to use the experience for their external exam. Level 1 Business also did a market day where they created and sold their products.

Students developed not just their practical skills but also their theoretical knowledge.

Level two Business Studies

MAKER MAKER MARKET As part of Future Fest for Year 10s, we introduced the Manurewa Maker Market this year to provide a “show and sell” opportunity for our creative projects. It’s been great to have students coordinating these events – thanks to Harleen Bhathal, Fa’apa’ia Folasa, Adrianne Nordstrand, Luke Orbell, Tu’Mua Seuala, and Gloria Tauiliili. It also great to have alumni support the Future Fest workshops - for Youth, Christian Segi and Annette Kaitapu.

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. Students created their own businesses, coming up with creative and innovative products and taking them to the market. There were altogether nine groups. Some activities for the groups were: Received seed funding of $800 based on the excellent business plan and innovative product.

Students participated in E-day, Dragons Den prelims and Dragons Den Finals.

They sold at YES Night Market at Sancta Maria College, Manurewa High School and Maker Markets.

Students attended three Pacific YES workshops at AUT Serenity Temu was fortunate enough to be chosen for Massey Boot camp and also awarded $1000 Enterprise in Action scholarship.

Inspiring Year 9 s and 10 s Sir Ray Avery inspires Ji Qun, Saintlee, Jarrod, Shivnesh and Gabriel.

Thanks to our partnership with EY, five students were invited to attend the announcement of the finalists in the Entrepreneur of the Year Awards. Here’s a reflection by JI QUN HUANG, Year 10: Tips and advice I have picked up from Peter Beck are: 1) Have big dreams 2) Work very hard 3) Don’t listen to people who say it’s impossible.

From Sir Ray Avery, I’ve learnt that you should have 5 and 10 year plans and also that innovation is something you see which others don’t see. I found this event to be an enlightening and inspiring experience for me as I’ve learnt a lot of things regarding businesses and entrepreneurs but mainly life in general.

Careers & gateway

CAREERS What a successful year! We are thrilled to report an increase in the number of our year 13 students who have been rewarded for their personal and academic abilities in the form of funding scholarships for next year. Money for course fees and or accommodation can be a major hurdle when contemplating tertiary education options but this year our students have been proactive in sourcing information from us, our tertiary liaisons and from our Careers Expo guests in August. Scholarships ranging from $500 to $45,000 have been won with some still waiting on NCEA endorsement results in January. Congratulations to all who won and best wishes for a successful first year in 2018.

In August we hosted our biennial Careers Expo where we invited over 45 providers and employers to share information with our students. We decided to target year 12 and 13 students who each had an hour to attend and then we opened the expo up to the whole school at lunchtime. Two very popular stands with the students were the Police and Cut Above where they were treated to hands-on experiences – ie seeing police weapons, dogs, helicopter fly over, and police car and being treated to a short back and sides at no cost by the Cut Above team.

For the third year now, we have continued to provide Learner licence classes for anyone turning 16. Over 200 students took advantage of the before school classes and subsidized fee of $50 to pass their licences. Currently our pass rate (with still some yet to sit) is around 97%. Communication via Facebook and texting has proven popular with our students and has been a reliable method of sharing information and contacting students easily. Getting up to date information out this way has enabled many 18 year old students with a good attendance record to apply and receive a Student Allowance whilst still at school.

In June we welcomed Mrs Hormes onto our staff as our Careers Administrator. She has been a much valued and highly competent replacement in this very busy role where she has the responsibility for ensuring the day to day smooth running of student and staff appointments with seemingly no effort.

Mr Craik took over 120 students to different careers events this year including the KATTI and PILOT days. The KATTI day is for Maori students to plan their transition from secondary school and the PILOT day recognizes Pacific culture-based and community focused leadership. Both events were for years 10-13 students. Other career events included lunchtime presentations from Armed Forces and Police Recruiting, Year 13 STEAM Ahead, Primary teaching Experience day and DREAM Fonotaga at the University of Auckland. This year saw him covering a lot of miles transporting students all over Auckland with the furthest being The RNZAF base at Whenuapai. Six visits and 30 students took the opportunity to visit the base where they looked at a variety of careers offered in the Army, Navy and Airforce.

GATEWAY STAR 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.

Approximately 100 Gateway students at Manurewa High School were involved in a range of Gateway programmes this year and many students took advantage of the new initiatives to the school. These were Scaffolding, Downer, Engineering, Farmers, Number 1 Shoes, and Bunnings. Countdown will be coming on board in 2018, along with our existing companies that continue to show willingness and commitment to support our school community. A special mention must be given to Happy Days Restaurant who generously offer work experience to our 02/03 Hospitality and Catering students every week in their restaurant throughout Terms 1, 2, 3 and 4. Amazing!

Our most successful area this year where many students have been offered full time work has to be the Engineering and Construction area. The Scaffolding Industry have already employed 5 of our students and 2 more will start when school finishes. These students have the capacity to earn $60,000 as a starting rate, not bad for 17 year olds! Haimona Te Whatu experienced Air New Zealand Technical Operations first hand during his placement in term 2. The selection process is extremely rigorous, so congratulations Haimona on your achievement!

For those of you returning next year, best of luck with your exams and we look forward to discussing your future with you in 2018.

Commerce Finance Festival Our school participated in an exciting day of fun, frivolities, and finance at Finance Festival 2017. Yes, you read correctly … even finance can be fun! The Upper Harbour Sorted Schools Cluster (UHSSC) and the Financial Education & Research Centre at Massey University (Fin-Ed) had put together an exciting day for students of all ages. It was at Massey University on Wednesday the 5th of July 2017.

Junior teams: Players navigated through a range of financial situations, challenging themselves to make wise financial decisions, assess risk and ultimately avoid bankruptcy! Then players designed a “risk and reward game” Senior teams: Teams competed in the Investment Challenge.

Students listen to a series of mini lectures covering investing in shares, fixed term deposits, bonds, and property. The competition involve students giving financial advice for a client who wants to invest.

Students explained how they would invest the funds and be able to justify their choices. They made a four minutes presentation to a panel of teachers and investment professionals. The successful teams then presented to all the attending students.

economics trip to wellington Economics students travelled to Wellington to expand their present comprehensive knowledge by visiting the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and the Beehive. When we got off the plane the shuttles came up and took us straight to the Reserve Bank. There we were taught the role that RBNZ has, to manage monetary policy to maintain price stability. RBNZ also promotes the maintenance of a sound financial system and the process of managing the OCR (Official Cash Rate) to control inflation rates, but mostly they are known for supplying New Zealand with its banknotes and coins. Their vision is to promote a sound and dynamic stable financial system in New Zealand and they work towards this goal by having efficient payment systems, meeting the currency needs of the public and providing effective support services to the bank. We learnt a lot of how the financial system works and how RBNZ has an immense role in maintaining this. We were then shown the evolution of money through priceless artefacts that the Reserve Bank has kept from nearly a century ago. But what had caught the hearts and minds of the students was the MONIAC. The MONIAC (monetary national income analogue computer) was created by New Zealander Bill Phillips and is approximately 2 m high, 1.2 m wide and almost 1 m deep, and consisted of a series of clear plastic tanks and pipes which were fastened to a wooden board.

Each tank represented some aspect of the national economy and the flow of money around the economy was illustrated by the coloured water. A demonstration of how this machine worked intrigued and fascinated the fellow students. After a well-deserved break we visited the Parliament house, otherwise famously known as the Beehive.

We were taken on a full in depth tour which showed us where all the MP’s (Members of Parliament) gather for their caucus meetings and parliamentary debates. We found out about the history, architecture, refurbishment and restoration of the parliament buildings and most importantly the strict rules and regulations that are enforced in the Beehive. This day trip to Wellington was very educational and a unique experience as it has shown us why RBNZ is the central bank and how it plays an integral role in controlling and maintaining the New Zealand financial system. Both RBNZ and relevant parties associated with parliament contributed to a large proportion of our wonderful country’s financial state of affairs. To our future fellow accounting and economics students planning on embarking on this journey next year good luck to you and enjoy this unbelievable experience!

Biz is Awesome Student Feedback Our trip to the Waipuna Lodge was very interesting. As soon as we arrived we were confronted with many other students from a variety of schools, this put us in a very awkward situation.

Due to a couple of icebreakers, we were able to become more comfortable with our group; therefore, we were able to converse and share ideas without feeling shy or nervous. When trying to figure out a product to pursue, we were very confused, as we could not identify what society lacked nor come up with an innovative idea that we saw fit to conduct our research upon.

After a while of dead end ideas, we as a group decided to make a solar powered Bluetooth speaker. At the end of the day, I had a lot of fun meeting new people, at the same time learning a lot about the concepts of constructing a product and marketing it. I would definitely recommend future students to attend this program, as it will increase their knowledge on Business as well as Economics.

is to find a cheaper alternative that gives you a similar social or emotional hit.

The tricks to replace a negative spending habit: 1. When you are ready for a change, choose something (media, food, gadgets) that you would like to spend less on.

2. Find a similar but less costly alternative. Choose a replacement that gives you the same emotional payoff.

3. With some of the money saved, treat yourself right away so you do not feel deprived. Reward yourself!

4. Keep doing it until you have moved on from your old spending pattern and you are in control of your choices.

Financial Capability

Money week

Today’s financial world is highly complex. Our young people make important financial decisions at a much younger age than in previous generations. Financial capability is a core life skill for participating in modern society. This year we ran Financial Capability programme with Year 13 Hospitality and Trades Academy, which was very successful. All enjoyed it. They learnt how to calculate tax on their income, what tax code they should be using, what the different forms of debts are and how to manage your debts. Learning basic skills of saving was helpful to the students. We all fall into spending habits and routines – some good, some less so – and every so often, it is good to have a think about which ones are worth keeping. Especially if you are starting to feel that things are slipping out of control. If you are looking to reduce your spending in a given area, the trick

Money week ran in Manurewa High school from 14-20 August where staff and students were involved. Staff enjoyed playing a Kahoot quiz in the staffroom whereas there were various SAVY presentations to all Commerce students. All year levels played Kahoot money quiz during form check as well. ‘Show Me The Money Week’ is directly linked to the ‘Plan’ stream of the National Strategy for Financial Capability. It is all about visualising the future and making a plan to get there – whether it is having the right insurance, saving for a house deposit or preparing forretirement. It is about making financial plans to support life goals. During the week hundreds of money-related events and activities, take place around the country, bringing organizations, schools, community groups and more together in the mission to build financial capability and help New Zealanders get ahead financially.

Dance

2017 has been an amazing year in Dance for both our students and staff. It has been a fun-filled year with success stories, new opportunities and fresh experiences.

We entered the New Year by welcoming a new member to the learning area, Baby Alexander Ngawati-Salaivao, who is adored by our Rewa dance whanau.

Our first competition of the year was Street Dance New Zealand.

Rewa All Stars entered the Mega Schools division. Out of 14 schools we placed 2nd with their creative throwback routine dedicated to Pop legends. Dance teachers Ms. Ta’e’iloa entered the Mega Crew division with Projekt Team and Mr. Salaivao with Prestige Dance Crew, placing 1st in the Adults division. It’s amazing our students get to see their dance teachers in action and walking the talk. Not only are our students inspired by their teachers, but also their peers around them are doing amazing things. Marquise Rogers, competed in three divisions and qualified to represent New Zealand in Phoenix, Arizona with his crew Swagganaughts and Yung ID. We watched his every move through livestream at the Finals and we are so proud of his achievements.

Heading over to Generation X Unleashed Performing Arts Competition, this year’s theme was LOVE. Manurewa High were the first winners in 2015. In 2016 we didn’t compete and so we were very excited to make a comeback. Our team leaders and dancers worked extremely hard on this piece. A lot of the movement and stories presented in their work were inspired by real life experiences from the dancers themselves. They won the hearts of many with their ‘Show Me Love’ routine, placing 1st once again.

The last competition for the year, Stand Up! Stand Out! is one event our students always look forward to. Three new teams were created, The Quaterbakz, The Remake and The Senior Boys. Two of our teams advanced to finals. We had an enjoyable night with The Remake taking the win! Both teams continued to perform throughout the year at school events as well as community events.

The dancing doesn’t stop there! We had more students entering battles than ever before. Students entered the 1v1, and new to the event, the 3v3 battles. It takes a lot of courage to dance by yourself, let alone, battle an opponent through dance. Manurewa High made a name for themselves at the Battle All Style Dance League, with Matthew Pule’anga, Runner Up in the 1v1 and The Senior Boys winning the first 3v3s.

24

Off from the competition stage and battle ring, our students have continued to make connections and get involved in other dance events.

Mr. Salaivao’s Year 13 Dance class were invited back again this year to showcase their collaborative piece, ‘Mosquito’ at YouDance Festival.

This is the second time Manurewa High School has been invited to perform, which is a great privilege and opportunity for them to see, feel and move in a professional environment.

Our students love to try new things and push their bodies to the limit and what better way to do so, then to spend a whole week with Neil Ieremia’s Black Grace Dance Company. Matthew Puleanga, Nicola Nimo and Keith Fata experienced an intensive week of workshops, networking, conditioning their bodies and moving in ways they are not used to.

Learning outside the classroom is one thing we value in our learning area and this year we were lucky to have some of our staff and students travel abroad to learn, compete and battle amongst professionals. Mr. Salaivao and Sage Minarapa travelled to Singapore for the Summer Dance Jam taking classes from huge names such as Keone Madrid, Lyle Beniga and Rie Hata. Both returned inspired and equipped with new skills and knowledge to share with the rest of us. Over in Australia, Ms. Ta’e’iloa competed in her first international battle at Destructive Steps. Her group Two and a Half Brownies made it to the quarterfinals, an amazing achievement. And just recently, a number of our students and staff, travelled to Australia for two major events – House of Champions and the World Supremacy Battlegrounds. Gloria Papali’I and Houston Maaka competed with the talented Brady Bunch Academy and Mr. Salaivao along with Sage and Matthew placing 2nd, in both events.

To end the year we finish off with Siva Siva 17. A dance concert which showcases the works of our Year 9 to Year 13 students. Our youngest students see first-hand the process of preparing for a show - at a professional level - as they step foot on stage for the first time, while for others it will be their last as an MH Dance student. They leave a legacy the department will continue to grow. We are forever grateful to our school who support our learning area to do what we do and to let our students shine.

Dance Department 25

Dance

Digital & Visual Arts The Digital and Visual Arts department has had yet another busy year this year.

It has been a hive of activity and we have celebrated many student successes.

We welcomed Mr Craig Render to the team after many years of teaching P.E. His interest in E Learning led him to the challenge of teaching Robotics and Coding. Although it was a brief stint in the department as he moves on to new challenges, his quick wit and passion for teaching and learning will be missed. We also welcomed Miss Ellie Prior this year who came on board as the new Design and Visual Communication teacher and her energy and dedication to teaching has been evident, as she has revitalised her subject this year.

The Department offers a range of subjects and is always looking for innovative ways to work cross curricular. This year, Mr Hollis continued the Creative Design course that allowed students to explore digital design and animation. We successfully reintroduced the DVC course with a fresher modern approach. There was also a lot of interest in the new Coding class that was offered at Year 9.

Next year another new cross-curricular course will be added with the introduction of the Level 3 Business and Design course. It is exciting to be a part of an ever-evolving department.

This year the school offered a unique opportunity for Year 10 students to be involved in a Maker Market. Students were invited to join a group and make products that could be sold at the market.

We had a group of students who made a variety of string art, stencil art, tie-dye t-shirts and upcycled plate art. This project was overseen by Ms Adele Whittaker, Miss Ellie Prior and Mrs Gaby Reid. The work produced was creative and a credit to the hard work the teachers and students put into the three-day event.

The Year 10 Art students have been learning about Kowhaiwhai patterning and have worked with the carver, Uenuku, who has been working on the carvings for the school Whare. They learnt about tikanga, patterning and the art of Kowhaiwhai. They took this new knowledge and produced some creative designs which have been translated into murals that will be on display in 2018.

As usual, the students in the department have displayed great talent across all areas on offer. The annual Art Exhibition is always a big date in the department’s calendar and this year was no exception. Re-Mix was a showcase of student, teachers and alumni’s work across a range subjects. It was awesome to see so many different types of Art in one exhibition, and I think everyone

enjoyed the video clips that the Media Studies had on display. We also ran another blind auction with one of our seniors Sunita Ly’s work, Mr Naicker was the successful recipient of the artwork. It was a treat to see staff, students and the community come and support such a great event. I know I say this every year but the exhibition just keeps getting bigger and better!

Another exhibition that the department was a part of this year was the Future Animators, which was held at Nathan Homestead.

The Creative Design students were lucky enough to work with Te Tuhi in order to create large-scale Digital works, which were on show to the local community.

Earlier this year Sunita Ly was selected to participate in the Te Tuhi youth programme. This gave her an insight into the expectations of an artist in the real world. An exciting opportunity to get a sneak peak of a community she is looking forward to being a part of. Sunita is one of the year 13’s who this year took on the massive task of doing a mixture of Digital and Visual arts and because of her talent and commitment was awarded Arts person of the year for 2017.

The end of the year for our Level 3 students saw another successful exhibition at school of their painting, design and photography folio boards. It was a stunning display of some outstanding work from our talented cohort. Staff were impressed with the quality of the work and the students were very proud to share their progression with everyone. We wish our Level 3 all the very best success on the next stage of their journeys.

It’s been a massive year with many successes within the department. The hard work and long hours of support that the teachers of the department have put in to assist the students, has been evident in the quality of the work produced. After the success of our senior students and seeing the fantastic work coming through at year 9 and 10 across all subjects in the department I am excited for next year’s students and talent to be unveiled.

We are losing some members of our team this year and are sad to say good-bye to our Media Studies teacher, Mr Luke Oliver and our Robotics teacher, Mr Craig Render and wish them all the best on their new journeys. As the year ends, we look forward to exciting opportunities 2018 will bring.

CREATIVE WRITING ENGLISH

The English Learning Area at MHS has undergone some big changes in 2017.

We have sadly bid farewell to some incredible teachers in the English Learning Area who have served long and worked hard for our students. Ms Servanin left in Term 2 to have her son, Luke, and has since been appointed to Assistant Head of Learning at Botany Downs College; Ms Winslade left us for ACG Parnell; and Miss Flynn marched on over to Waiuku College as the new Head of Department.

As a result, we have welcomed some beautiful fresh faces into the department (actually, a beautiful fresh face) - Miss Tomasi. Mr Welman earned a well-deserved promotion to Assistant Head of Learning. At the end of this year, we will also be saying ka kite ano au i a korua to Mrs Giborees and Mr Oldham as they each venture off for a year to broaden their horizons and further their education (after all, you never stop learning).

English students at MHS have had opportunities to attend out of class trips this year (very rare – but it happens).

In Term 2, the 03ENA class and the 23ENB classes had the privilege of attending the Auckland Writer’s Festival held at Aotea Centre. Some of our 03ENA students then took centre stage and performed their own southside versions of ‘1001 Arabian Nights’ to a packed crowd. With this came the opportunity to have writers come into the school to share their expertise. Karlo Mila, a phenomenal writer of Tongan, Samoan, and Palagi descent, spent time

after school working closely with our students. She had an enormous impact on our 03ENA students as they began to incorporate her teachings into their own poems. In Term 3, two year 10 English classes, 10AGS and 10KBR, attended the Royal New Zealand Ballet taster of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ – something very much out of their comfort zones but they loved it nonetheless (to be honest, a few did fall asleep). Mr Oldham was so inspired by the dancers that he pirouetted out of the theatre.

THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE My phone lights my life; Caressed by my fingers, Touched to my ears, Attached to my body, A part of me.

Because without my light I feel incomplete.

Our Junior English programme this year focused on the themes of friendship and cultural identity. Students have been able to explore their own identities by reading texts to which they can easily relate. The theme for our Year 11 programme in 2017 was based around the issue of conflict, our Year 12 looked at the idea of facing challenges, and our Year 13 students focused on relationships. As teachers in the English Learning Area, we take pride in teaching our students to have empathy, in the hope it will enable them to understand the position writers are coming from but also to reflect on their interactions with others in their daily lives.

When the sun rises, it is not enough.

I search for my light, My screen must fill my face With the artificial lives of others And flattery from my peers.

The kind gentle words from my parents, Do not cut it.

My phone flashes: LOW BATTERY! And suddenly I feel like An addict coming off his high, Forced to face reality.

Or a plant without water, Dehydrating quickly.

2017 has been a productive year for the English Learning Area, and although we have been through some major changes, we know that we will be welcoming new faces, new challenges and new opportunities. Bring on 2018! #Letsdothis

I desperately connect it to the charger.

Jealousy flames my body Like wild fire spreading.

My light is connected to something That is not me.

MY MEDICINE I did not know I was sick, But then I saw you.

Every bad feeling I had Seeped away.

Your voice became the medicine I never knew I needed, Your arms became the bed I thought I already had, Your smile burned into me And warmed my body to two hundred and ten degrees.

The sun could never be enough, After seeing you.

I forgot I was sick, Then you disappeared.

Dissolving into the far oceans And where would I find my medicine When your voice did not want to be heard by mine?

How do I rid the circles around my eyes If the only place I can sleep has no address?

The sun may burn my skin, But it will never feel as bad as When I realised, Without you I am sick.

english language learners 2017 has been another busy year of many successes for the English Language Learners. As always, rewarding is the word! We are proud of being ELL teachers when seeing our students develop their confidence in the ability to communicate using English.

Many thanks and gratitude to our dedicated teachers, Dallas Howell, and David Reid who have worked extremely hard to support our students. Great appreciation to our wonderful teacher aides Chrissie Lee and Daisy Watt. Without their effort, students would not have gained so much success. Without their enthusiasm, expertise and support, the year would not be so wonderful.

It is admirable that our ELL students have overcome many difficulties to achieve what they have achieved. Congratulations to all ELL students who have tried their best to adjust to their new life, and those who have made remarkable progress.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all ELL staff, students and their families the best for their future.

Just a few more days, my year 12 will finish. To be honest, at the time when I first came to New Zealand my English was really bad. I could not understand what people said and could not communicate with my new friends either. I realized that I needed to improve my English skills so I chose to study in ELL class. 02ELL was my favourite class. My ELL class has helped me a lot in improving my English. Going through each lesson, my English has got better steadily. I am now able to express myself clearly. I have learned skills for formal interview, learned many more vocabularies and grammar, learned to write formal essays and a lot of knowledge about New Zealand. ELL is a really helpful subject to support the non-English speaking students like me. It helps me fit in the new learning environment and life style. Thanks to ELL lessons and my ELL teachers, my English is much better than before and I am very proud of myself for my achievement.

In 2017, the ELL teachers and students went on fun learning excursions. The first was to the Auckland Memorial Museum. In the morning, we walked to the Homai Train Station and caught a train to New Market, in the city. Then we climbed up the many steps to the park in front of the museum. The students enjoyed looking at the exhibits, especially when they found the many draws of insects. At lunchtime, we walked to the Winter Gardens and sat in the picnic area to have lunch. When we had all finished eating, we wandered around the glass houses looking at the beautiful flowers. We returned to school on the train with a group of very tired students. Later in the year, we all boarded a bus for a trip to the Auckland Zoo. We all had our photo taken under the huge elephant at the entrance to the zoo and later we purchased a copy. The students were very excited because they saw many animals they had only seen in picture books, like giraffe and tigers, with the highlight of the day being the lions.

Sadly, they were not roaring as expected, but instead, were sleeping in the sun.

2017 Health Science Academy year in review What another full year for the Health Science Academy team.

After farewelling our pioneer class in 2016 - the first of the students who opted to take the journey into a career in Health, we welcomed a new, larger cohort for 2017. As interest in the programe had bloomed, the decision was made to try two classes at Year 11 to see if we could make the model work with larger numbers. With 52 new students enrolled, we would soon see if more students could benefit from the academy teaching and learning model. This also meant 3 new teachers joined the whanau to become Health Academy teaching specialists and kaitiaki support. We would like to welcome: Miss Bates – Kaitiaki for 12ABZ and teacher of Level 1 Chemistry and Physics, Mrs Devi-Govind - teacher of Level 1 Biology and Miss Unka - Kaitiaki for 11KUA. We also welcomed back Miss McPherson -teacher of Level 1 Chemistry and Physics and myself, Mrs Stevens academy TIC and teacher of Level 1 Biology.

In addition to the larger cohort, a reflection of last year’s extremely busy schedule meant in 2017 there was careful consideration of the extra-curricular activities the students were asked to participate in. Being mindful of reducing stress for the students was a key focus for this year’s planning. That’s not to say we didn’t get involved in a few things to keep us busy! Read on to see what we got up to.

JANUARY The year started well, in January when all the other students were enjoying fun in the sun, 25 keen academy students took part in a Teach First summer school holiday programe. This was a chance for new teachers to be in front of a class to teach full standards to engaged and capable students.

Student Feedback - Dania Shafiq 13ATS “I was one of the fortunate students who got a chance to attend a summer school hosted by teach first. As a student who had just finished Year 12 this experience prepared me for Year 13. I attended the level 3 Biology class, which was from Monday to Friday normal school time. In this class we learnt everything to do with the thermoregulation internal, which is offered at Level 3. We sat the mock internal, but were not offered the credits. I learnt skills for researching and analysing assessments. I would recommend this to any student who is willing to get a taste of what assessments are like in Year 11, 12 or 13, and also to those who are willing to learn some skills which will be useful during studying.”

FEBRUARY In February a group of Level 2 academy students took part in a followup communications day from the dustmite study completed in 2016. In the comms day students got to work with industry specialists on jingle design for a radio advert, website and print design. This was an enjoyable day for all and a fabulous way to wrap up a very successful project.

APRIL In April, 25 students were invited to take part in the International Biomechanics day at Auckland University. An opportunity for students to project themselves forward 10 years for a glimpse into what could be their future; designing and using cutting edge technoloy to solve real world biological issues.

Biomechanical Day at Auckland University - Matthew Lay, 11KUA What a fantastic way to explore and discover the combination of biology and technology - it has developed at an extraordinary pace. The two subjects linked together offer more opportunities to discover solutions and products that allow us to have a better understanding of the capability and extent to which our body 40

can be used. Using the advancement of technology but also seeing how much the study of Biomechanics can be fun, such as learning how they integrate small devices/chips into our everyday life to measure what we are doing to using high tech cameras to track and analyse our every move.

JUNE In June around 40 students were exposed to a Medical School ‘tips and tricks’ seminar at The Crowne Plaza in Auckland city. Students got to hear from medical students currently attending Otago and Auckland medical schools. There was also a nail biting test for teachers and students with questions used in the UMAT entrance exam. There was also a lot of dicussion around the exciting social life of a student – not sure this is what we wanted highlighted from this talk - but the students seemed to enjoy it.

JULY Just before the Term 2 break the long awaited Fisher and Paykel site visit arrived. Over a year in the planning, a scheduled visit for students of the 2016 Diabetes project was finally able to go ahead. Due to a scheduling conflict in 2016 we were unable to complete our project with a site visit, so it was rescheduled for this year. Usually secondary students are not invited to tour through the site so we were lucky enough to be welcomed to this fabulous facility right on our back door.

A group of 25 students were treated to a full tour of the site and undertook hands on activities including becoming designers of life saving technologies – I am proud to say the students came up with the same cutting edge solutions the engineers had come up with – REWA proud.

Highlights from Fisher and Paykel Site Visit – Neisha Cowan: “The best highlight from our trip to Fisher & Paykel would have to be being shown the impact F&P has on the medical industry and how it isn’t just about making fridges or appliances. We had the chance to experience the process of making medical equipment being used in many hospitals. We learnt how thorough designers need to be when designing life saving equipment. It was very interesting to develop and create breathing tubes and other new equipment. The overall highlight from our trip, I would say, is having our horizons broadened and being exposed to a part of the medical industry that most of us did not know even existed.”

AUGUST Defending our title as reigning champions of the newly established Tiaki expo with Manukau Beautification Trust, a 10 strong team of Level 2 algae bio warriors took to Vector Arena to try and keep their title despite poor planning and taking on the huge environmental issue of ‘acidification in the oceans.’

After much agonising over trying to solve a huge problem with a small budget, limited time and expertise and no real solution in sight, the Tiaki group decided to change tack and target a similar problem but one they could develop in the tight time frame – Biofuel solutions. Tiaki expo – Buua Redfern, 12ASC “Tiaki opened so many opportunities into the world of environmental science. We met so many new people who we have made connections with. This can help us for our future steps within the environmental field. Not only that, but we have also developed skills such as using the “STEM” method which we can easily apply to projects and situations within our real lives. Tiaki was such an amazing experience which not only opened my perspective on problems within my community which I never realised before, but also enabled me to meet so many amazing people!”

We learnt about new things such as how hearing aids work, speech manipulation, physical rehabilitation and loads of other cool things. Once the event concluded, we headed back to school feeling invigorated with a new found passion for health and a drive to succeed in Science.”

Term 3 brought with it the first annual Healthy Living Programme at Manurewa High School. Groups of passionate teachers and students arranged various acitivities around the Hauora concept of health (Taha Hinengaro: mental well being, Taha Wairua: spiritual well being, Taha Tinana: physical well being and Taha Whanau: social well being). Each week activities which covering each of the four pillars of Hauora were offered for students and staff to participate in. Some of the activities on offer were; kindness rocks, old school games, spoken word poetry, music jam sessions, tag tournament, gym workouts, positive thought jars, zumba sessions, dance sessions, nutritial food packaging analysis, REWA cookbook and creation of a mental health student led programme. We are really excited about building on this programme in 2018 and would like to thank Nestle for their support in making it possible.

Part of our Tiaki 2nd place prize was a mentoring session with Natalie Robinson founder of Mums Garage. The students found this session extremely invigorating. Natalie is an enthusiastic speaker who has a background in Science, in her current role she is the founder of a small business development company ‘Mums Garage’ that helps make experimental ideas into sellable product.

In addition to a mentoring session with Natalie, students and staff at MHS were treated to a celebratory lunch and presented with a native tree to plant on the school grounds to commemorate participation in Tiaki.

If you would like to get in touch about being part of this or any of the other programmes mentioned above please contact Nicole Stevens: sc@manurewa.school.nz

SEPTEMBER Right before the end of Term 3, budding Year 10 Science students were invited by Allied Health to attend a careers expo at Middlemore Hospital.

Level 1 Health Science Academy trophy winner – Francis Peterson Top in class; Level 1 Health Science Biology – Navjot Kaur Top in class; Level 1 Health Science Biology – Tinh Hoang Tram Top in class; Level 1 Health Science Chemistry Physics – Riah Lal Top in class; Level 1 Health Science Chemistry Physics – Viliami Fungalei Top in Level 2 Health Science Academy – Rommel Tangonan Stevens cup for Outstanding Effort in Academy Projects + $350 prize – Nevyn Burns Special thanks to the Tiaki project and Manukau Beautification Trust for this prize.

Top in Level 3 Health Science Academy – Monica Hor

Allied Health Middlemore Careers expo – Jarrod Clark, 10PSZ “The Health Expo was a fun-filled day that offered a variety of exciting learning opportunities to discover more about different health careers. Some of the exhilarating fields were orthopaedics, speech therapy, audiology, physical conditioning, cardiology and psychology. When we arrived at the hospital, we met a large number of health professionals and other schools while we were inducted by the event hosts. Then we were given a brief talk about house rules, lunch and how the arrangement was aimed to encourage young, aspiring Pacific students to pursue a career in health. We were then divided into five groups and given 20 minutes with a team of experts in each area. I learnt about how heart related troubles could be predicted through blood content, your pulse rate (measured in beats per minute) and blood type.

NOVEMBER Prizegiving is always a great time of year where we can celebrate the academic and special successes of all the Academy students. Usually we run a dedicated academy prizegiving but decided this year to join with the Year levels.

Congratulations to all of the 2017 Academy students, with special mention to:

Wow maybe cutting down the number of extra-curricular activities still needs some more work! It really was another busy year. The forecast for 2018 is looking much the same. We have already been signed up for four new research projects and have put our hat in the ring to claim back our Tiaki crown.

Kia Ora Hauora Year 13 Health Career Day - Eden Brien, 13KJH. In the Term 2 break selected Level 2 and 3 Maori students were invited by Kia Ora Hauora to go to a health careers expo at Midddlemore Hospital.

“Kia ora hauora works to help young Maori students become more included in the health industry. They want more Maori health professionals working to get a better life for themselves and their Whanau. Kia Ora Hauora show the methods they are using to improve current low level Maori participation in health. Attending the Health Career day at Middlemore Hospital during the Term 2 break allowed me to learn a lot about different health pathways.

We were told about the hospital departments, patient care and how to appropriately interact with the families. In addition to specific information about the hospital environment, we were also given advice from Auckland University Health Science students who were currently studying for health qualifications. There are also scholarships and groups available for us to receive help on our journey and assistance in completing the applications.

Overall, it was a fun experience, very family orientated.”

Hiranga ki te tonga

Hiranga ki te raki

This year MHS had a massive roll growth that meant there was a need for another class in Hiranga. To set this new class off on a positive learning path the students, and their new teacher Miss Adams, worked hard to bond and build relationships. As part of the bonding, this class went to Rainbow’s End and spent the day laughing and getting to know each other.

At the end of last year, MHS was to be one of five pilot high schools in the country invited to use a new programme called RT3T. RT3T is a reciprocal reading programme, which taught four important thinking skills that would benefit them on their learning journey. All Hiranga staff and teacher aides trained to implement the programme and had continuous support throughout. Classes ran the programme for 20 sessions with an awards ceremony held at the end of the sessions. We invited Whanau to come and watch the students in action as they demonstrated a session of how the RT3T programme works.

What a year! The ESC underwent a name change this year to Hiranga ki te tonga to reflect the two Hiranga groups that operated within the school. We welcomed a new teacher, Mrs Low, to our team in 2017. We changed from a junior/ senior division of classes to ability classes, creating HLW – Mrs Low’s class and HWH – Mrs Wudrich’s class. This turned out to be a very positive change for the students this year.

HWH was involved in Special Olympics and participated in Athletics, Football and Basketball. Huge thanks to Mr Quinn and Mr Ekholm for helping with Athletics and Football as well as Mrs Gruebner and Mrs Evile for their help in supervising the group. We cannot forget Mrs Theobald who often helps behind the scenes with the paperwork and last minute situations that arise (when Mrs Wudrich forgot her bag at school with the forms, camera and her lunch and Mrs T had to drive it over to the venue!) The students were positive ambassadors for our school and showed great sportsmanship on and off the field.

HLW did some incredible work this year, in particular a unit on the History of Music. The displays they did were extremely well done. Near the end of the year, they wanted to take a class trip to Rainbow’s End. Mrs Low said she would do this provided 42

the class fundraised to cover some of the costs. Rosemarie Kerr, with some assistance from Mrs Adler, made and decorated 300 cupcakes to help with the fundraising effort. Along with a sausage sizzle, the group raised around $400. They had an amazing time at Rainbow’s End. During week 5 of Term 4, HLW made Christmas cakes during their HAC lessons. They did a phenomenal job decorating them, mmmmmmmmmmm.

Both groups had option classes in Music, Dance and Wood Technology as well as Hospitality and Catering for HLW and Food Technology for HWH. Some of our senior students had the opportunity to attend MIT and work experience courses.

Our students enjoyed continued support through Speech-Language and Occupational therapy sessions as well as Transitioning programmes for those students who are leaving us at the end of the year.

This year we bid farewell to Nadirah Bi, Rosemarie Kerr, Chantep Lach, Logan Murray and Chloe Rowe as they leave MHS to make their own way in the world. We wish them well for whatever the future holds for them. Kia kaha!

hospitality & Catering

This year there was a very enthusiastic bunch of culinary students in Hospitality and Catering. Most had started the culinary journey in year 11.

It was actioned packed! Completing many Unit Standards, in and out of school functions, attending trades and outdoor education camp, competing in both regional and national culinary competitions, preparing food for the school cafĂŠ and completing work experience.

This year the Hiranga class joined the 03HAC class once a week and buddied up with students cooking a wide variety of dishes. They prepared dishes from butter chicken with naan to muffins and brownies. This was a great experience for everyone to work together, teaching skills to others that we had previously learnt.

At trades camp, we prepared food while the trades

44

class completed maintenance around Waharau Camp Site. During the time at camp, it was very wet. We were evacuated on the Thursday due to the flooding. This was a great experience catering for cold, wet, hungry working males.

We did a wide range of functions this year. From small school catering jobs, buffet for 400 people at sports prize giving and out catering for St Johns Youth. Each time we completed a catering function the guests were very impressed. The standard of food produced continues to grow.

Every lesson was an assessment in Hospitality and Catering. Each day in the kitchen, we would prepare food depending on the day and the requirements of the school cafĂŠ.

Grace Clarke

2017 has been a very busy year in the International Department. Manurewa High School has hosted a record number of short tour groups: three from Utsunomiya, Japan and two from Shanghai, China.

Our visitors enjoyed a varied programme while in school which helped them to understand a little bit more about our curriculum and our culture. They were welcomed with a powhiri, made poi and learned how to use them in a poi dance, cooked some kiwi kai, and made bracelets and brooches out of wool. Outside of the classroom, they visited Butterfly Creek and went on a tour of Auckland, including the War Memorial Museum and cultural show, Kelly Tarlton’s and the Sky Tower. Our Japanese and Chinese classes benefitted from being able to converse with native speakers and buddy students enjoyed showing our guests around. Several students and staff members were also homestay families and forged connections with our visitors that will last long after they return to their home countries. All the groups were overwhelmingly positive about their experiences at Manurewa High School and the friendliness of our students.

Joining our long-term international students this year have been Linh Nguyen from Vietnam; Lihong Leng, Elita Lim and Srei Kan Yong from Cambodia; and Devanshu Sharma from India. At the end of this year we farewell our Year 13 students: Jervis Deng, Kim Jin and Jessica Wu from China, who all hope to continue their education at Auckland University next year. Olga Pisi from Papua New Guinea is leaving to do a maritime engineering course at MIT, and Devanshu Sharma is moving to Christchurch.

Harry Chen, Esther Yi and Janessa Wang from China will continue their schooling at Manurewa High School next year. We are also expecting several new students from Vietnam at the beginning of 2018.

There has been much for our international students to celebrate this year as we have seen them progress academically, grow emotionally and integrate more effectively into the kiwi way of life. As a group, they have shared the experiences of visiting the Waitomo Caves, Otorohanga Kiwi House and restaurant dinners. The highlight of the year was the International Students Celebration where we recognised the achievements of each student and thanked those who make it possible for our international students to live and learn away from their families and home country. Jervis Deng was awarded the Metcalfe Cup for ‘All Round Excellence by an International Student’ and was also Photographer of the Year.

Elita Lim received the ‘Lord Keynes Cup for Economics’ and Olga Pisi was ‘International Student of the Year’. Several students have already gained their Level 2 and Level 3 NCEA certificates and qualified for entry into university. Others are making amazing progress with their English language learning skills.

All of them are growing as confident and independent young people, living the REWA values of respect, excellence, whanaungatanga, and akoranga.

The last words go to our students who are moving on to even bigger and better things, with all the skills that Manurewa High School has helped to foster. We wish them all the best for the future; we know it will be remarkable.

Jervis Deng, “I liked being a student at Manurewa High School because it gave me the opportunity to study subjects like photography that I wouldn’t have been able to do in China.”

Kim Jin, “Manurewa High School has been a very good school. Teachers helped me a lot- all of them.

I also made many friends. I am proud of my achievements and so is my family. I enjoyed working with groups on Geography camps and trips. I really encourage other international students to go on these because it is a great way to see and understand NZ culture. Going with classmates is really good because it helps with assessments as well.”

Jessica Wu, “At Manurewa High school the teachers always helped and supported me.”

Devanshu Sharma, “I am very happy about coming to Manurewa High School. All the teachers are very helpful especially Mrs Howell in ESOL. Maths is my favourite subject. I really liked that the school has computers and internet that I can use all the time for free; it is not like this in India. There are also plenty of places to study and my New Zealand class mates have been helpful to me.”

Olga Pisi, “Being an international student at Manurewa High School gave me the chance to see some amazing places in New Zealand. I loved the trips to the Sky Tower, Waitomo Caves and Rotorua. The teachers are really supportive of academic progress and I have made great friends.”

japan trip

Talofa lava, On the last week of Term 3 Mrs Sime, Miss McCall and Miss Malaeimi had the pleasure of taking 18 students of the Year 12 and Year 13 Gagana Samoan class to Samoa. Students were excited to visit their homeland and renew their cultural knowledge. The purpose of the trip allows students to use their surroundings to complete their assessments, which is part of the Interaction and Writing assessments. Part of their assessment students were to: Write/Speak about the cultural changes they were able to see in Samoa.

From Day 1 to Day 11 – students and teachers were immerse in the language and culture. We were able to spend three days in Savai’i travelling by ferry and then spend most of our trip on the main island Upolu. During the last three days of the trip, students had the opportunity to stay with their families.

Students were intrigued and enjoyed the excursions that consisted of: Le Vae o Moso (The footprint of Moso), Canopy walk (walking on a high bridge), Alofaaga Blow Holes, walking the Mauga o Vaea (Mount Vaea – connections made between Fiji and Samoa), Papase’ea Sliding Rocks, The cultural village (Favourite activity of Miss McCall and our students) and the beautiful Matareva Beach.

Everything we did and visited was amazing and revitalizing for the soul. All students behaved exceptionally well and carried the ManuREWA values.

It was a successful trip organised by Mrs Sime and without her knowledge and guidance, this trip would have never been a success. Thank you Mrs Sime for your awesomeness. Thank you to Miss McCall for being amazing with our students; it was a pleasure having you with us this year. Thank you to SLT, teachers and families who supported our students. We appreciate everything that you do for us.

Fa’afetai lava! Ia manuia, Miss Malaeimi.

My favourite memory of 2017 was going to Japan. I really enjoyed Japan. Everything was so beautiful, the food, the lifestyle, the scenery and especially, the people.

My favourite part of Japan was being hosted and attending Takasaki Higashi High School. School in Japan is anyone’s worst nightmare. No phones, no technology, blackboards and there is only one lunch break but I enjoyed it because I got to experience it in a way not many people get to. We were all like the popular kids in school; anywhere I walked around in school the students would say ‘Hi.’ Some would even go crazy and ask so many questions that I couldn’t keep up. Overall, my favourite part of school in Japan was their school Athletics day. We all saw the competitive side to the students at this school.

My host family was super nice to me. They made me forget that I was even away from home. My host mother got up at 5am – some days even earlier to prepare our ‘Obento’ (lunch).

This lunch was no ordinary lunch; it was super cute and she had shaped my rice as a cat and used seaweed for the whiskers and eyes. Everything my host mother cooked was so good that I could taste the love in it. I learnt so many things while I stayed with my host family, I learnt many lessons that I will take away

with me and hold onto for the rest of my life. The best thing I took away from my experience with my host family was the value of appreciating family and never taking their love for granted.

We visited so many different places in Japan that I’m not sure how to fit it all in one paragraph. We went to Disneyland, DisneySea, Takasaki Higashi High School, Sensōji Temple, Harajuku (famous for its amazing fashion and the five-story Daiso Dollar Store) and Shibuya. If you visit Japan, make sure to try EVERYTHING. Do not leave a single thing untouched. Even if you don’t have enough time. Try every single food. If it looks yuck and weird, try it. I mean you don’t go to Japan everyday right?

Lastly I want to thank all our families and friends for supporting us and helping to make our trip a possibility. But the most important thank you goes to Miss Leatinu’u, Ms. Toloa and Mr. Singh - thank you all so much for looking after us and making sure we were all okay, especially for putting up with all our crazy vibes.

Until next year, Sayonara, Deborah Paulo.

Mentoring Program

It was an interesting year for our department.

Replacing teachers and middle managers in our subject area is becoming increasingly difficult, and as we head into 2018 it seems that the national shortage is finally going to create problems in maintaining classes in what is a core part of the curriculum.

Mr Masina Po’e-Tofaeono was awarded a teaching fellowship for the 2017 year at Auckland University. He no doubt found life a little easier, but at the end of the year he has decided to return to a leadership role at Papatoetoe High School. We congratulate him once again, but he will be hard to replace. Mrs Lynee Tuputupu took on his responsibilities during the year. She in turn spent an extended time away on maternity leave and we welcomed Sione to our extended family in April. It was a close thing, and we were rather lucky that his delivery was not on the Staffroom floor.

Mr Vijay Vijayakumar and Mr Bimal Singh also took on additional duties as we had difficulty filling Mrs Lal’s position. New teachers to our department this year have been Ms Catherine Graham who is undertaking the Teach First programme; Mr Nyel Rodger from the Graduate programme at Auckland University; and Mrs Kate Whiteman and Mrs Arun Vijayakumar, both familiar faces as relievers in recent times. Mr Hogan Chapman also took on a greater teaching load.

We are very grateful to have these people and they have all shown a great willingness to be involved in the wider activities of the school.

The internal results were very good. Sometimes we overlook our small successes. For example, our Level 1 Numeracy rate of 91% stands tall in comparison to most of our neighbouring and similar decile schools. An amazing statistic is that of all the Decile 1 schools in New Zealand almost 20% of the pass grades in the national MCAT came from Manurewa High School. These are areas where we must be doing something right.

BYOD was a major focus for us. We made progress with our Year 9 classes but the commitment was variable over the department staff as a whole, and it is perhaps wiser to seek incremental change rather than experience a tumultuous revolution.

In the local Mathex competitions we continued to 50

perform above our weight. The Counties-Manukau competition was at Wesley College this year and our teams disappointed somewhat in what really served as a warm-up event. A notable achievement was Jethro Navarro (best runner!). There was much more success at the Auckland competition held at ASB stadium. One of the Year 10 teams finished in the top 20 with 85 points which was a very meritorious performance. Next year we host the Manukau competition so here is hoping for a home town victory.

Team members at Mathex were: Year 9 Mathletes: Zariyha Abdul, Daniel Aviga, Patience Curry, Ilaisanne Finau, Kevan Lew, Zoraver Malhotra, Jethro Navarro, Lorraine Sakalaia.

Year 10 Mathletes: Jeremie Lee Bayaban, Lauren Beattie, Chansothira Chin, Jarrod Clark, Jiqun Huang, Saintleechey Kalipatama, Huyen Nquyen, Tiomai Toailoa, Juhge Toetu, Emma Watson.

In the Australian Mathematics Competition we had our usual successes. Kevan Lew from Year 9 achieved a rare High Distinction, while Distinction awards were gained by Ilaisaane Finau (Year 9); Tiomai Toailoa and Jiqun Huang (Year 10); and John Chen and Aaron Lew (Year 11).

The sudden death of Mr Murray Hollis in September was a cruel blow. This is written about elsewhere in the magazine, but Mr Hollis was familiar as a reliever to most of our students. His 39 years in the school as a member of our department meant that we had lost someone who was very close and meant a lot to us.

We also lose at the end of this year Mr Henley who heads for an early retirement after 20 years. He is also written about elsewhere. He will be joined by Mr Zifeng Liu (8 years) who will be taking up a position at Botany Downs Secondary School and Mr Alo Viliamu (4 years) who will be trying his hand at the commercial world. These are all very deep losses and our thoughts and best wishes go with them.

A R Carey

My time being a 2017 peer mentor has been stressful, empowering and absolutely rewarding. In 2014 (year nine) I had the privilege of being blessed with such an amazing group of year 12’s and 13’s I was proud to call my mentors.

Each with a passion for leadership, this group of young leaders were appointed the task of helping guide me through high school and aid the awkward transition from intermediate. I felt as though I was safe with my mentors and felt a sense of security and belonging immediately.

My positive response to this programme when I was year nine is the reason I was so eager to be a peer mentor for 2017. As a mentor I aimed to achieve everything and more my mentors did. I wanted to be a positive role model, a helping hand, a listening ear and a trusting friend to my mentees. Although it wasn’t an easy task to accomplish, I did it. I was able to be everything I aspired to be and more to my cherished mentees in 09KBK. I loved every single moment spent with my mentees and had an absolute blast getting to know each individual. For me, the reward wasn’t the badge or certificate or the recognition. It was being able to bond and create such a strong relationship with such a promising group of kids. Not only did we get to see them grow, they got to see us grow as leaders. Working with such a talented and dedicated group of people was also an amazing positive to come from this. The ever-growing love and support is the reason I am proud to be a 2017 mentor.

Mentoring this year has been a blast! Its helped me to grow as a person and realize there’s so much more than being a leader ‘from the front’, where everyone can see you. It taught me that being a leader from behind the scenes is just as important; from going to early morning trainings twice a week to becoming a friend to the mentees and being a support person. I loved getting to know 09TRG this year.

They have made me excited to become an even better mentor next year.

Marcus Tuigamala

Deborah Paulo.

Amber Inia Being a mentor this year has been a blessing and is one of my biggest highlights this year! I learnt so many things and am so honoured to say that I was able to become a mentor and see so many students not only in my mentee classes grow but also my peers that were mentors themselves. I learnt so many life lessons and became so more open to the whole point of mentoring which wasn’t to be there and teach our year nines but to be that friend or an in-school older sibling that they could turn to for help with personal problems and school. I was able to connect with all my mentees. But of course not everything - in becoming a leader - can be happy rainbows and stars. I learnt from it all and now I look back and am proud of how I grew in this program. Thank you 09 TGL, you are the best!!!

MUSIC 2017, wow, what a year! It seems like such a short time ago I was writing about 2016 and working out how we were going to even come to that level of student success yet on nearly all fronts we have surpassed it. Despite this I do write with a sense of bittersweet as we celebrate and commend, but also have to say some fairly sad goodbyes...

Our graduating class of 2017 have been a dream to work with and they have flown the flag of our school values and pride high at both a local and national level. The dedication to their craft that they have shown has afforded themselves and the school extremely well and has filled their teachers with extreme pride.

We are also sad that we are farewelling some members of staff: Mr Stanbridge has been given leave for 2018 and has travelled to the UK to be with his wife as she battles health issues. We have been extremely lucky to have had his service and the hours of extra time that is required to run our band programme.

We send our blessings to you good Sir and hope that you can return to Manurewa with a healthy family!

We also need to acknowledge Miss Fong who has been doing a wonderful job with our choir, although she is leaving the school we are hoping that she might be able to continue in this roll!

The third member of our Team that is Leaving is Mr Coulomb who after nine years of incredible service was (not surprisingly) head hunted for a Head of Department job, a position he is no doubt ready for and will be very successful in.

At the start of the year we also welcomed the wonderful Mr Leupolo who has been a wonderful addition to our team and farewelled two long serving Itinerants in Mr Cantwell and Mrs Findlay, we thank them for their time with us.

Now for the highlights! 2017 was the year we cemented our spot as one of the truly great contemporary music departments in the country. Our records of students success now includes 9 national finalists in Smokefreerockquest/Pacificabeats and too many finalists in Songwriting competitions for me to count.

We have won thousands of dollars worth of prizes and this year have also been given a Piano!

We also had a great time doing our Musical ‘Bring it On’. This was a great occasion with wonderful music, acting and dancing.

This was not only a chance to connect with our creative peers in Drama and Dance but to summon back Alumni in the form of Band members Mitchell Clark, Michael Telford and Michaela Clark as well as technical support from Aaron Dormer, Prinesh Chand and Savannah Blackburn (Cheerleading).

While unfortunately, there is no category for best band in the showdown awards it certainly says something that we are the only band in the country to even attempt to play this score!

science YEAR 13 Auckland Zoo Trip This year we took around 43 Level 3 Biology students to Auckland Zoo. This day trip related to strengthening students understanding of the AS 91606 (Human Evolution) and AS 91603 (Plant & Animal Responses). Both these Achievement Standards are worth nine NCEA external credits.

The secondary Zoo educators were fantastic and gave our students a thorough understanding and teaching of the Human Evolution standard, including hands on practical session with skulls and other skeletal features. Students also had a guided tour with the Zoo educator and learnt about animal behaviour and responses, as well as some independent time to explore the Zoo themselves.

For some students, it was their first time that they had been to the Auckland Zoo, which was pretty special! Overall, the Zoo experience was positive and I hope that students perform well in their external exams on the above mentioned Achievement Standards. I look forward to another successful Zoo trip in 2018.

science year 12 biology trip Level 2 Biology camp was held from the 10th to the 12th of April 2017, with three Level 2 Biology classes and a total of around 90 students. The Biology camp involved the coverage of AS 91158 and AS 91153 (both worth a total of eight NCEA internal credits). The camp involved studying stratification and succession processes with a New Zealand forest ecosystem. Overall, the students participated actively which related to collecting and analysing data, drawing and interpreting graphs and presenting their findings in a formal written assessment.

The teacher in charge of the whole camp was Mrs Kaajal Devi-Govind (Head of Biology) and the results from the camp assessment were quite pleasing. I would like to thank the following staff who accompanied the students on camp - Mr M. Soriano, Mr R. Casey, Mrs S. Krishna and Mrs L. Palmer. I look forward to another successful Biology camp in 2018.

Science Fair Once again, we have had some good success with our budding research scientists. A total of 9 students submitted investigations to represent our school at the NIWA South and East Auckland Regional Science Fair – and 8 of them were lucky enough to be invited to the prizegiving, which was held on the evening of Wednesday 5th September at Mission Heights Junior College.

We won the following awards: Dania Shafiq Won the Secondary Consumer Science category.

Suhena Kumar Received a Highly Commended award.

Atrena Youkhana Second prize in the Senior Science category.

Marlene Iripa and Rida Basharat took out third place and Latutama Finau, Sione Finau and Amelia Pasikala (all year 12 students) gaining a Highly Commended on their first ever attempt at a science investigation.

The IET Innovation Award went to Marlene and Rida, as did the Best Project by a Maori student, and also the New Zealand Heritage Award sponsored by NIWA, the primary sponsor also of Science Fair.

All the students have won money, some of it quite significant.

They pushed their boundaries, challenged themselves, overcame fear to present their work to the judges, stayed back at school every Tuesday and Thursday up until 6 pm, ventured out into the community to seek advice and donations of materials and just generally showed very high levels of commitment and time management.

I should also mention that Shivani Chand (year 12) did what I considered to potentially be the best project, yet inexplicably she won no awards. In fact they awarded no top prizes to any year 12 students this year. Shivani showed an incredible work ethic and time management skills that were second to none – so full congratulations should go to her too for representing the school so well, despite the mysterious lack of year 12 awards this year.

Much gratitude to Heather Wilson, for her expertise and advice, and for her company at prize-giving in support of our students.

Classics tourism

A completely new course, almost entirely online! Tourism has had a slight revival this year, which has seen our achievement increase significantly. The new course includes achievement standards mainly delivered through the International Travel College and students have given such positive feedback on the assessments. Throughout the year, we had some guest speakers such as Mel from ITC (an ex-Manurewa student). We also had two brilliant field trips, one to the city and the other to Rotorua.

Sixteen year 12 students attended a fieldtrip to ITC in the city. Here we had the opportunity to take part in the flight attending short course. Students had to demonstrate understanding of how to deliver aviation safety to passengers.

Later in the afternoon, we visited two hotels, the Sky City Hotel and the Sky City Grand hotel. Surely, there is no better way to end a fieldtrip but by speeding around the Auckland Harbour on the Adventure Jet boat? This trip gave students an understanding of the different pathways there are in the tourism industry as well as a perfect opportunity to wander around the International Travel College and see what tertiary education is about.

Some of our Year 13 students took up the opportunity to attend the Geography and Tourism field trip to Rotorua. This is such a fantastic opportunity to see the impact that tourism can have on an area. At Agro Adventures students got to bungee jump, jet boat, Swoop, Shweeb and even experience the sensation of skydiving on the Freefall Xtreme. Other students enjoyed a quiet afternoon watching a bird show and wandering around the gardens at Rainbow Springs.

We finished the day off with a relaxing soak at the Polynesian Spa. Another great way to finish off a field trip? The luge! Students and teachers raced each other down the mountain on the final day before making our way back to Auckland. It was an epic trip with some awesome memories.

geography 2017 was another amazing year for Geography at Rewa.

Why was it such an amazing year? Mainly because of the incredible fieldtrips that geography students get to go on. Fieldtrips separate Geography from most other subjects because they enable students to get in amongst the real world and experience the subject in a variety of environments. In 2017 there were fieldtrips at all levels. A few of them are described in brief below.

The lively level 1 students visited Goat Island Marine Reserve in early March. Ms Wensley, Mr Silk and Mr Burtenshaw accompanied them on what was a beautiful summer’s day. The focus of the trip was to collect evidence of human impact on the environment. The real fun was snorkelling in the fish dense Pacific Ocean and taking a glass bottom boat tour. A trip to the Auckland University’s Discovery Centre at the end made for a brilliant sun soaked and educational day.

The level 2 geographers headed down to Tongariro National Park at the end of Term 1 to gather data on the physical differences between the western and eastern sides of the Park. One of the many highlights of the trip was our dramatic attempt at the 17km Tongariro Crossing in really crappy weather.

After climbing the aptly named Devils Staircase, poor weather forced us to turn back. Although we did not make it across, it did end up being an adventure that no one will forget. A big thank you to Mr Sialeipata and Mr Viliamu for your support and strength.

If you take Geography at level 3, you get to go on 3 field trips. The first to Polyfest, the second to Muriwai Beach and the third to Rotorua for three days.

For the sake of brevity, I will only write about our Rotorua trip which took place in Term 3. The focus of our Rotorua field trip is on tourism and what better way to do this than be tourists. The students took part in a wide variety of fun activities including a sheep show at the Agrodome, geothermal wonders and Maori arts and crafts at Te Puia, soaking in hot pools, luging, bungy jumping, and jet boating. Thanks go to Mr Burtenshaw, Mr Silk and Ms Wensley for their support. 2018 is going to be as good or even better.

One new year level and five field trips later, Classics in 2017 has been a whirlwind to say the least. In 2017, Manurewa High School has seen Classics grow from two classes across Levels 2 and 3, to 2 classes at each level as well as the introduction of Level 1. Level 1 Classics has allowed students to look at Heracles whilst also comparing him with Maui from Maori pūrākau. As part of this internal we looked at the artwork of Christchurch based artist Marian Maguire, and were even generously gifted two of her works - “Maui Wrestles the Nemean Lion” and “Heracles Wrestles the Taniwha.” As part of this amazing experience, the Year 11 students were able to engage first hand with some of Marian Maguire’s other prints with the help of Auckland Art Gallery curator, Emma Jameson. Being able to view Marian Maguire’s art work up close and personal was invaluable for the students and was a great help for their internal.

In 2017 we have been fortunate enough to take a walking tour of the CBD to look at the Classical-inspired buildings and listen to specially organised lectures from the Classics and Ancient History department at the University of Auckland. Earlier in the year, the Year 13s journeyed to the Pop Up Globe to watch As You Like It, a play they would be comparing with Aristophanes' Lysistrata. The Shakespearean comedy was exciting, engaging and hilarious, and provided inspiration for a possible trip for the Year 13 Classics students of 2018 as well.

History The History Department has enjoyed a very successful year, yet again. At all three year levels, our students have enjoyed unrivalled success. History students have been able to study a wide range of topics, from the civil rights movement in the United States, to the Dawn Raids and the significance of the Treaty of Waitangi upon modern day New Zealand society.

A highlight of 2017, as always, was the Year 13 trip up to the Bay of Islands. The purpose of the trip was to gather primary evidence detailing the earliest contact between European settlers and Maori. Despite some inclement weather, the students thoroughly enjoyed their experience and gathered a wealth of knowledge that served them well in the concomitant assessment. In Year 12 History, students spent a great deal of the year looking at various forms of protest in New Zealand and internationally; the culmination of which was a visit by four members of the Polynesian Panthers. Dr. Melanie Anae who helped facilitate the visit was very complimentary of our students and all members of the Panthers were deeply impressed by the knowledge, respect, and insight of our Year 12 students. In 2018, we are thrilled to once again have the talents of Mr Kristofer Ekholm and Mr James Frascatore in our department. Our current Head of Department Sam Harris has spent 2017 abroad, working and sightseeing his way around the United Kingdom, Europe, and South – East Asia. We look forward to welcoming him back in 2018. As always, the History department will continue to focus on producing a curriculum that is engaging, relevant, and driven by student request.

We are looking forward to another fantastic year in 2018.

Live Election Debate

workshops

On 29th August, I, along with Sally Pritchard and Jacinda Barnes, were privileged to be able to organise, run and emcee the Manurewa MP live election debate. The debate was held in our school hall, with local candidates representing various parties. Thank you to Louisa Wall (Labour party candidate); Katrina Bungard (National party candidate); Tasha Hohaia (Maori party candidate); Teanau Tuiono (Green party candidate) and Elliot Ikilei (Conservative party candidate) for attending and participating in the debate.

Students from each of the high schools in Manurewa (James Cook High School, Alfriston College, and Manurewa High School) were able to congregate together at this event and become engaged and active in political discussion. Some of the questions that we asked our candidates tackled issues that faced youth in our community; issues like the housing crisis, mental health, the education system, and transport. Youth, whether eligible to vote or not, were able to see where each

party stands in these pressing issues. This event was also livestreamed by Fairfax media which enabled people not in attendance of this event to watch the debate.

I would like to give special thanks to Mr Silk. He was the inspiration and backbone behind this event. Without his vision and motivation, we wouldn’t have been able to make this event happen.

I’m sure Sally and Jacinda will agree with me that this was a fantastic event, one that we’re proud to have been a part of. I think it is important that we foster and grow interest in political discussion - engaging people young and old - so that we can have a truly representative democratic system. It is important that our school and wider community vote and become part of the democratic process.

Year 13 Textiles Another successful year by the Year 13 Textiles students who designed and produced their own ball gowns which they wore at the Senior Ball. Not only were the gowns absolutely stunning but the finished result was used towards their NCEA Level 3 Achievement Standards! Looking good ladies!

Walk the Line – NZ Fashion Week Verenaisi Pickering was the star of the New Zealand Fashion Week, when she bravely modelled her own gown at the Walk the Line Fashion Parade. She was highly commended by the judges and Verenaisi thoroughly enjoyed the experience and was a credit to herself and Manurewa High School.

Te pae Tawhiti Risk Taking

Trip to Cambodia Humanitarian Aid Leadership Programme

Can you remember a time where your fears held you back? Even when you knew something was safe, were you still afraid to have a go? That’s what happens so often in a classroom so our students took to the ‘ropes’ to learn more about overcoming their fears.

Solving Wicked Problems The Gap Between Rich and Poor in New Zealand Some problems are just so complicated that no-one even attempts to solve them, but this didn’t stop our Year 9s researching about the income gap in New Zealand. Did you know, for example, that $38,000 is considered a living wage? This is the amount required to easily get by and pay your bills, buy food, rent and so on. Did you also know that the minimum wage is currently only $16 per hour? This equates to only $33,000 per year, $5,000 below the living wage.

Guess what kind of jobs earn minimum wage? Yep, all those jobs that you don’t need an education for. Better try and study a bit harder in school then.

Design Thinking Towards the end of the year, we wanted our students to put together all the skills they had been learning throughout the year. They had to do some research, work in teams and manage themselves and their time to complete a project. Thus the Marble Roll project was born! Students had a great time. Some of the things our talented students made were: a pulley so the marble could defy gravity and travel up, a loop the loop, a see-saw and many more.

Design Thinking Many students ask ‘What is TPT’? The short answer is TPT is about helping students develop some of the key competencies they will need to succeed when they leave school. Collaboration and self-management are two such skills.

Next year, we hope to use the whole year to help students become experts in Design Thinking. This is a process which encompasses many of the important skills students will need to succeed in the future. Some of these photos show our Year 9s prototyping a new design for a wallet made especially for teenagers. We look forward to seeing what they come up with in the future.

The HALP trip was truly the most adventurous and most life changing trip I have ever taken. When we flew over Cambodia I realised how barren it was in comparison to home. I also realised first hand what 3rd world living really was. I would eventually leave with a completely different perspective on almost everything.

Our adventure began in Siem Reap after a gruelling 12-hour flight from NZ, making a pit stop in Singapore then onto our end goal. We met our tour guide Lee-Sim or “Sim”, who guided us throughout the whole trip and even made some cheeky bargains to get me and my friend Niko some delicious Cambodian cuisine otherwise known as snake, grasshopper and frog (which by the way was delicious).

The food was amazing, from fish amok, to tree ants and silk worms (Miss McPherson doesn’t agree with me...).

We stayed 4 nights in Siem Reap. The first day comprised of us meeting our World Vision sponsor child, meeting her family and seeing all the projects that are taking place to help people in need of simple things that we take for granted, such as food, water, and education. It showed me how the money we send is put to use, and was eye opening to see how this girl as a result could go to school and achieve what she wanted in life. Which is something that I believe we are all entitled to do.

One of the gems of our trip - while at the floating village of Tonle Sap - was visiting the rice fields and riding an ox around the farms. The place is literally a functioning community of floating houses. We visited the school and were greeted by smiling

faces. Something I will never forget about Cambodia are the people’s warm hearts and gracious smiles.

We visited the beautiful temples of Angkor Wat, (Note: Go just before the sun comes up - it is epic and worth it!). We even got to ride an elephant and hold a snake. But the one thing I witnessed and that I will always remember is the sheer beauty of the people and their culture.

We were shown the history of Cambodia from the birth of the royal palace, to the influence of the Khmer Rouge and how everything else came to be.

Now my favourite part of the trip was assisting in the development of some of the rural villages. Over a 2 day period we worked with the organisation ADRA (Adventist Development and Relief Agency) to build toilets and complete wells in Pursat. After many slip ups and muddy bums we were exhausted, but it was fun and an awesome feeling helping people. We also spent an afternoon teaching a youth group the importance of hygiene. We showed them how to use toothbrushes and how to wash their hands. Before donating toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap and nail brushes to the children.

We also supported several NonGovernment Organisations while we were there, from resturants to the circus.

Both groups take street children off the street and teach them the skills to be able to support themselves. We also learned about the work of Dr Beat Richter and how he has helped the children of Cambodia by working with the King to build 6 childrens hospitals.

Another part of our trip was visiting the

Cambodian markets and shopping. This was epic because you could get some awesome stuff for an insanely cheap price or alternatively you could be like me and spend $50 on a painting.

Our third and final destination was Phenom Pehn - the glorious capital of Cambodia - which is flooded with buzzing motorcycles and staggering buildings.

Here was where we learnt about the Khmer Rouge in detail. And where I realised that the history of Cambodia is one we can all learn from.

To summarise the HALP trip, we entered a beautiful country and embraced the culture through dance, music and language. Being amongst the villages and the people of Cambodia really inspired so much in me. And it also inspired all of the awesome friends I made from the beginning to the end of this journey. It was great to see everything and absorb it. And to realise that we can make the world a better place and have fun while doing it. I strongly believe you should go somewhere in the world and make a difference, because you need to be the change you demand. Additionally I want to thank Miss McPherson and all the other staff who made this possible for the other students and myself. I was honoured to meet them and share such a once in a life time experience, one that I will never forget. One day I wish to return to and help others.

rugby 1st xv boys

This year’s First XV was different from any other First XV we have had in previous years at Manurewa High School. We set ourselves three goals to work towards, these goals were to:

Win the Counties Manukau 1st XV Rainbows End Cup Q u a l i f y f o r C o - E d N at i o n a l s E a r n t h e r e s p e c t o f ot h e r s To achieve these goals my brothers and I created a bond that was unbreakable in the team. This bond and respect extended to our peers, teachers, other teams and people within the Manurewa community. We fundraised out in the Manurewa community for the charity KidsCan, to acknowledge all the hard work they do for our school.

Starting our season with the Chiefs Cup Tournament, we knew it was going to be tough coming up against Hamilton Boys High School. The boys aimed to “stay in the fight” from the beginning to the end, which we did even though we were down 53-0. We fought right up to the eightieth minute when Tevita Mailangi scores a beautiful try for us ending the game on a high 53-7. Chiefs Cup continued to give us tough competition getting defeated by both St Pauls Collegiate 7-47 and Tauranga boys 5-48.

Starting the Rainbow’s End Cup, we knew our biggest challenge would be facing St Johns Hamilton, having lost twice to them last year.

During the competition, we came across our only loss, against Te Awamutu College. We were narrowly leading the entire game but 70

Te Awamutu managed to sneak in a heart-breaking try to end the game.

Then came the challenge we were all waiting for, playing St Johns.

To have gotten our revenge on St John’s the first time in our pool game 25 – 23 was one of the best moments of the tournament. We all felt it, the boys played their hearts out and defended our goal line like our family was right behind us. Not only did we give it to them once, but twice! When we met again in the semi-final, it was truly a game to watch. Coming back from a 13 – 3 half time score, in St Johns favour, we knew we had it and we truly deserved it. The final against Cambridge High School was a hard game. We lead the entire game, but Cambridge came back and got exceptionally close with a score of 24-20.

Our journey did not stop there as we still had one more goal to accomplish, to qualify for Co-Ed Nationals. Training for the first game of the qualifying rounds, we came up against Western Heights College. We did not have our full squad due to many injuries and concussions. Many leaders and key players were not playing, so my boys had to step up. We fought a hard fight but lost in the final second to a penalty.

Although we did not achieve our goal to make it to Nationals, I am still proud of the hard work and effort my boys put it in this season.

I am proud of every accomplishment that this team has achieved this year. This journey has really been the highlight of my year. To have captained my talented brothers and played alongside them.

It will forever be an unforgettable experience. This could not have been achieved without our coaches Mr Sialeipata and Mr Watkins. Thank you for supporting us and coaching us to become better people and better rugby players.

Finally, to our number one supporters, Nicky and Tony Johnson who came to every game and also providing the breakfast club at school for us boys to eat at. Words cannot accurately describe our thanks to you for all your hard work and we truly are grateful for what you all have done for us throughout the season. Also, a special thanks to our following sponsors; ASB Bank, Browns Road Dental Centre, Miss Nichola McCall and Rapid Rentals, Mr Mark Walsh, Mr James Walsh, our principal Mr Pete Jones, and once again Nicky and Tony Johnson.

This will forever be a memorable season and I am honoured and grateful to have represented my school in the green and gold out there on the field alongside my brothers. It has been a privilege for us and we hope that the legacy of this 1st XV we leave behind will carry on and grow.

rugby 1st xv GIRLS

waka Ama Wow where do we start, let’s start from the beginning I guess.

Auckland Champs in Term One. We had 13 teams compete over various grades and events and as always our opposition was up to the task and challenged us right the way from the heats through to the finals.

It was a good opportunity for the younger inexperienced paddlers to get a look at what “good” really looks like in our Sport, it also helps those that have never been to Nationals for Club or School understand why trainings are so rigorous, as that great cliché goes –

We found some great juniors to hand the reigns over to this year, I’m hoping they continue to drive MHS Waka Ama forward and leave their stamp on things when they leave in year 13. It’s all about leaving the Sport in a better place than when you first found it. I’m proud to say this year’s 13 did that.

2017 brought highs and lows as all great tournaments do, we never leave Nationals without learning plenty about ourselves, team mates and life in general through the experiences of Sport.

The main results: • Silver – J19 V12 250m Mixed.

• 5th – J19 V6 250m Girls.

• 6th – J19 V6 250m Boys.

• 7th – J16 V6 250m Girls.

• 9th – J16 V6 500m Girls.

“You only get out what you are prepared to put in” or in Mel’s words: “Your performances will always tell the truth, on race day you have nowhere to hide” For the ones that had been there and done that it was our last gauge before heading into Nationals.

The highlight would have to be winning the J19 Girls W6 500m title back to back as well as the J19 W12 250m, we probably weren’t considered to be that much of a threat in those 2 events, don’t ever underestimate teams is the lesson from that one, every race is different, anything can happen on raced day!

The main results: • Gold – J19 V6 500m Girls.

• Silver – J19 V6 250m Girls.

• Silver – J19 V6 500m Boys.

• Silver – J19 V6 250m Boys.

• Gold – J19 V12 250m Mixed.

This was probably one of the largest groups we had taken away during my years with six V6 teams in total. This week is always one of the highlights of my year, it makes everything we go through in preparation worth it, by preparation I mean years of dedication and sacrifices.

We eat like Kings and Queens, the racing is phenomenal, the venue is the beautiful Blue Lake in Rotorua and the atmosphere from over 100 Schools is breath-taking and the luges and our own little traditional mock prize giving on the last day is a great way to finish things off.

To those originals leaving this year, Sean Maireroa, Pafe Momoisea, Katie Lowry, Teia Mohammed, Carmel Nickel, Paschal Koteka, TJ Talalelei, all the best in whatever you choose to pursue, your investment will never be forgotten and I hope the memories never leave you.

Te Waharoa

School Councils Environmental Council

This year in Te Waharoa we have been discussing the kaupapa of moving from Colonisation to Tino Rangatiratanga. To us Colonisation means another culture has come to Aotearoa, become the dominant culture and we as Maori have lost a lot of our land, culture, language and even identity. This means that we Maori no longer function as naturally as we did in pre-colonial times.

Tino Rangatiratanga – is about us being empowered to define who we are as Maori instead of a dominant culture defining that for us. That means that we value the maatauranga of our tiipuna – the knowledge of our ancestors and even our iwi, to live and be as Maori in our world today.

We have been working on self-determination – tino rangatiratanga- through our education in Te Waharoa and linking this with connecting with our cultural identity using Te Ao Maori and Maatauranga Maori. We also wanted to reframe Hauora using indigenous knowledge to increase cultural wellbeing. This triangle in the diagram shows what we were trying to achieve this year: From this, we hoped to develop curriculum that meets Maori cultural aspirations and where we, the students and whanau, co-create what learning looks like in the classroom. So, we started learning about Atua Maori – or Maori Gods and the creation story of Rangi and Papa from a Maori perspective. Darrio Penetito-Hemara from Toi Tangata and Nikki Timu and Alex Whitcombe from Healthy Families Manukau, Manurewa-Papakura helped us along the way with our kaupapa. Toi Tangata is an agency that enables whānau physical health and wellbeing. They specialise in positive health. The Toi Tangata team work hard to create meaningful connections to Kaupapa Oranga Māori. The Kaupapa of Oranga Māori is expressed in their vision Tama Tū Tama Ora Through Physical Wellbeing We Thrive.

Healthy Families Manukau, Manurewa-Papakura is about all of us working together to make our communities healthier places to be. They helped connect us with Toi Tangata and exposed us to projects in the community. So, basically we formed a partnership – We students wanted to connect with Maatauranga Maori– which is what Toi Tangata provided through teaching us about Atua. We then could become change agents in our whanau and community, which is what Healthy Families support. We also got qualified through the Field Maori Unit Standards in the NCEA framework.

Darrio, Nikki and Alex introduced us to the atua – Rangi, Papa, Tumatauenga, Tawhirimatea, Tangaroa, Tane Mahuta, Rongo etc. We looked at pūrākau –stories that shared a Maori World View. We discussed the type of characteristics the atua may portray and thought about physical activities we could share with our whanau or create games from. For example, in this picture, you can see us taking the movement that Tane used to separate Rangi and Papa and creating movements we could share with our whanau to develop strength.

From thinking about the movements, we then created games. We created keemu cards or game cards as part of our assessment and the aim was to create a resource that we can share physical activity with our whanau. Sharing our learning journey with teachers and whanau in an after school presentation was also part of our assessment. Here are some of our reflections from members of our Te Waharoa class: Lyric: “To me Mau Rakau is learning about the struggle of our ancestors and what they had to do to survive” Logan: “It’s important to me because my dad calls me his legacy and wants me to lead on the marae. To me learning about Mau Rakau gives me a good idea of how my ancestors fought and knowledge that’s important to us” Jayke: “Learning my Pepeha helped me to understand more about my whanau and here we came from” As a class here is what we want our teachers to know: -We are spiritual people and that needs to be considered in the classroom -When our teachers speak Maori in their class or share our stories we appreciate it and it shows they care -We would love to learn more Te Ao Maori in your class not just the Treaty of Waitangi We also want to say thank you to our teachers and whanau for all the hard work they put into teaching and supporting us to reach our potential as Maori – we appreciate all the hard work, love and effort. Also to Darrio, Nikki and Alex for their part in supporting our journey and helping us to create these cool videos of our mahi. If you would like to learn more about our kaupapa go to the Healthy Families Manukau, Manurewa-Papakura Facebook page and check out our videos.

2017 has been a challenging year for the environmental Council. We have had a great improvement from last year in terms of achievements. Our achievements are new ideas, better attendance, making good plans and we even had some people come in to teach us about their achievements and how we could apply that to our school. Our council has developed more smart ideas and we have attended a few events about sustainability and the environment such as Greenjam, Mini-Greenjam and the Festival for the Future. Manurewa High School is a great school with amazing facilities, but we are lacking on the environment side. As a council we still have room for improvement and putting out ideas into action.

Community Council The Manurewa High School Community Council for 2017 have had many achievements throughout our time as a cohort of student leaders. We have always aimed to be the bridge between our school and our wider Manurewa community.

We believed we have fulfilled this aim this year from the many events we have hosted, planned and supported; all of which actively showcases our school's model of servant leadership. During this year, we have fundraised to support charities such as Manurewa RSA, KidsCan, Fundraiser Mufti day and World Vision. We volunteered as school representative in local events for organizations like ANZAC day and beach/neighbourhood cleanups. We were privileged to hold and run the first ever Manurewa MP election debate this year where we brought in the electorate representatives to share their party's opinion on issues facing our youth so that youth engagement in political discussion and voting is increased with our neighbouring local high schools. It has been an amazing experience to be a part of the Community Council for 2017; to serve the link between our school and the community. We will always be a student body who serve our school and the Manurewa community as the leaders of tomorrow the R.E.W.A way.

DIVERSITY COUNCIL As the first council of its kind at Manurewa High School, the Diversity Council aims to strengthen the support of LGBT+ members of our school and community.

We hope to promote greater awareness, inclusion, and representation for our diverse students, and are dedicated to creating a safe space for all learners, regardless of their gender and sexual identity. We have achieved this throughout year by talking in assemblies about issues around our school such as language and using it safely to help protect our diverse students.

The Diversity Council is a safe place for everyone and it allows you to feel comfortable with your peers, giving you a chance to speak openly and relate with others when you feel like you cannot with friends or family. It is described as a “place where you feel like you can be who you are and not be afraid of people judging you for being you.” All in all, Diversity Council is for everyone who want to make society a more accepting and safe place.

Rainbow Youth Pride Pins As members of the Diversity council we decided to sell Rainbow Pins around the school in order to fundraise for Rainbow Youth's fundraising initiative. The money raised from the badges was given straight to Rainbow Youth, a non-profit organisation that helps produce and distribute LGBTQ+ learning resources. The purpose of selling Rainbow Pins was not only to fundraise money for Rainbow Youth but to let the closeted youth of Manurewa High School know that they are supported. By buying and wearing Rainbow Pins people are supporting the LGBTQ minority. In the short term, our action promotes a sense of safety, love and whanaungatanga in Manurewa High School. In the long term, the money raised should help Rainbow Youth with the continued production and distribution of educational resources in New Zealand.

ARTS COUNCIL 2017 has been a big year for the Arts Council.

Our role at Manurewa High School is to promote all areas of the arts to the school.

Some ways we have done this is by: • Helping paint the set and being front of house for the School Production of Bring it On – The Musical.

• Helping out with the annual art exhibition.

• Planning murals which we hope to display in 2018.

• Planning arts activities for Rewalise 2017 We are looking forward to implementing more awesome arts activities in 2018, hopefully culminating in Arts Week.

I arrived at Manurewa High School a first year Music teacher at the ripe age of 22, long hair and head band on full display, making a racket. Both the staff and students have shaped who I am, not only as a teacher, but also as a person (no more headband and hair, though still making a racket).

I feel honoured to have worked alongside such inspiring and motivated teachers, and have made some lifelong friends. The students have in turn taught me how to teach through their honest and down to earth attitudes, never lose these qualities!

I can’t thank Tim Randle enough for his guidance, friendship, humour and our glorious food runs over the last nine years, I will miss working alongside you and the team. Thanks Rewa High, keep trailblazing!

See you at the next Smokefree events.

The end of 2017 sees the departure of a true gentleman. Always the consummate professional, Robin Henley retires after 20 years as a member of the Staff.

Rob is one of a dying breed from another time. Ever reliable, he was the first to get his marking in; on duty without fail at lunchtime or interval; and an email or personal request was always responded to efficiently and on time. Not one to make a fuss, he nonetheless stood up against things that he could see were wrong, and always at the forefront was the well-being and sense of right for his students.

Rob came into teaching as a second career. An Australian by birth he graduated from the University of Queensland and pursued a career in Chemical Engineering. For 8 years he worked at Mount Isa Mines where he met his future wife, the lovely Joan. In due course the couple returned to Joan’s native New Zealand where Rob spent 11 years with New Zealand Steel at Glenbrook. Looking for some stability in his life, and with a streak of teaching in his DNA, he decided to train as a teacher at the Auckland College of Education.

His first and only teaching position was to be at The Manurewa High School, and he started in 1998.

Twenty years on Rob reflects on the teaching profession, and true to his nature he emphasises the positives. He does comment on the increasing workload and demands; the difficulties in meeting students’ academic and behavioural needs; and the emphasis on bureaucracy. But mostly he remembers the warmth of his students; what they have given to him as an individual; the joy he gets from meeting them years after they have left; and the friendship of his colleagues, especially those who have shared the card table with him over so many years.

For a long time Rob looked after cricket. Saturdays were spent out on the fields. The wind was usually bitingly cold, but there was always the game to follow. It was also an opportunity to catch up with his great mate Murray Hollis who looked after the tennis team.

In the classroom Rob was a mathematician with a sharp mind. Classes started on time; they got through the work; and he became one of the first specialists when Statistics started to make its presence felt in the curriculum. Scholarships came out of his Year 13 classes, and he particularly remembers Ming-Chun Wu from his very first year. She later became HOD Mathematics at Botany Downs and is now a leading strategist at the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

Rob heads into retirement looking forward to being even closer to his family. Two grand-daughters have changed Rob’s life, and while he says ‘never say never’ he has no plans at this stage to return as a reliever. We hope that is not the case, but we do salute him for his wonderful contribution to the teaching profession and to our school.

Saying goodbye to one of the best…

If you’ve been involved in any way with MH over the last 23 years – there is no way you wouldn’t know Andrea Thomas. Miss T. She has been an integral part of so many aspects of MH it is hard to believe that we have to say good bye to her. When she started in 1995 who knew the impact she would have on so many lives.

Here is just some of the things people have to say about her: “Great things come in small packages” is how I would describe Andrea Louise Thomas. She entered the gates of MHS in 95 in her little Jeep and was to change our REWA world forever. We all have fun, fond memories of this dynamic, energetic Miss Thomas. I was lucky enough to have taught alongside Andrea and she was an amazing supporter of me. I wish my “hand and foot twin” the very best in her future journeys and want her to know I will always share my chips with her in the future. Tashia Glendinning (Ex-student and current staff) She was my favourite teacher at school. Always smiling and full of happiness and laughter. She is the reason I got into teaching - I even wrote about her in my application to Teachers College and when I finished the forms I rang her (was living in Wellington at the time) blubbered on the phone with thankfulness for being my inspiration and said I hoped to be just like her one day. Barbara NgawatiSalaivao (Ex-student and current staff) To the one who set me on the path towards where I am now. No words can express how much alofa & gratitude I have for you. You started me down a path I am proud to call my career and it all started in E9. Thank you for being the teacher, mentor, guide, kick up the bum and most of all, friend that we all needed. Love always, Italia Zuko Italia Hunt (Ex-student) Miss T - a little legend with the biggest heart, no words can describe truly how great you really are. The best there is, the best there ever was, the best there ever will be...til we meet again Danny Atamu (Ex-student) Andrea Thomas is the Drama teacher I strive to be. When I started at MH - She mentored me but also trusted me enough to let me put my own spin on things. I loved that we would dress up and distract each other by singing Grease, Abba and High School Musical songs when we should have been doing other things. She’s supported me through all the highs and lows of directing. I am so thankful that I have been able to learn and develop my teaching from such a talented, caring, funny and passionate woman #dramasaveslives Gaby Reid (Current Staff) Andrea (“Tuppence”) Thomas

Farewell Luke Oliver Luke joined Manurewa High School three years ago as a fresh-faced eager new teacher. He took on the position as teacher in charge of Media Studies and joined the motley crew of the, then new, Digital and Visual Arts Department.

Luke revamped Media Studies at Manurewa and spent his time developing and extending a new and exciting curriculum for the students. He has managed to grow course numbers considerably through the three years he has been here.

This is an indication as to the success of his teaching and programme.

During his three years Luke also worked on bringing Media Studies to students outside the curriculum and offered other projects and opportunities which included the 24 hour film festival, social media platforms and filming. Luke also started the Media Council which gave students the chance to use their skills in a leadership way within the school. This included the school Instagram page which promoted positive aspects of the school.

Luke is leaving Manurewa for newer opportunities at another school. We would like to take this opportunity to thank him for all the work he has done whilst here and wish him all the best for the future.

Michelle Flynn As I sit here in my new office and stare out at the green fields of Waiuku College, I reflect on my 10 years at Manurewa High School. MHS gave me the most incredible friendships and opportunities that I will never forget. It is fair to say that I miss everyone dearly and that MHS will forever be in my heart. Our students (and yes you are still mine) take a hold of you- they give so much of themselves and we do the same. It was a huge decision to leave but I realised that the only thing I am in charge of is me. I needed to rediscover that change, whilst scary, can be a good thing. I can be the change and that change unfortunately meant leaving MHS. I needed to push myself and take that next step to become a Head of Department. I am returning to my turangawaewae- Waiuku, to re-join Mrs Hughes and my brother Mr Flynn. MHS has given me life-long friends that I don’t feel you gain from any other teaching environment. I also needed to remind myself why I love teaching. I love imparting knowledge, of helping others to learn and to understand themselves better. I hope my students leave my classroom with; more empathy and less apathy, an understanding that words have power, that their choices should be for the greater good, and to feel proud of their cultural identity. I also hope they understand that they can affect change through small acts of defiance, to question rather than to blindly follow others. And most importantly that they have taught me, hopefully, just as much as I have taught them.

As an Ex-Principal at Manurewa High, from day one, it was obvious that she was an exceptional classroom teacher of Drama, a fully committed “whole school” person and someone who was always prepared to go the extra mile for the students in her care. They don’t get any better than “Tuppence” – always positive, never critical and always able to see and develop the best in anyone. On behalf of all the staff that knew Andrea a “few” years back, we all join to wish her the very best as she takes on the next steps in her impressive career and to remind her that ‘Rewa’ is home – and always will be. Richard Thornton (Ex-principal) We wish her the very best as she follows her dreams and takes on new adventures. I am sure she will continue to be involved in the success of a school that offers so much to so many people. It is time for the next act of your show to begin - thank you for all you have taught us and giving so much of your life to so many people who will have all enjoyed and benefited from having you in our lives.

Take care, stay in touch and keep weaving that special magic. Phil Muir (Ex-staff)

Andrea Thomas Craig has been at Manurewa High School on and off for the past twelve years. He spent the majority of his time in the HPE department.

Recently Craig had an epiphany and realised he needed a change of direction. He moved into the e-Learning coordinator position and joined the Digital and Visual Arts Department for his last year.

Craig took on the daunting task of teaching Digital Coding and Robotics. He spent a lot of time upskilling himself and working with students and teachers to develop the course. Craig did an excellent job at staying one step ahead of the class and managed to fool most of them.

By the end of the year he was a proficient and successful digital teacher.

Craig is leaving Manurewa to continue his digital pathway and is transitioning into a support role with a provider company. We would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his work in the department this year and wish him all the best for the future.
