From the Principal's Office The Manurewa High School has completed another outstanding year. Much of the success has been due to the efforts of a stable and dedicated staff ably lead by an excellent administration team. I believe that even with our large roll of 1800 students, we have achieved our main goal, i.e. to develop each individual to their full potential. We have provided a wide range of character and opportunities building activities which has served to fuel a keen sense of competitiveness and self esteem in our students.

The outstanding successes in the academic, sporting and cultural areas continue to increase with each passing year.

This year, student achievements have been excellent. Several gained individuals have international recognition by being chosen as representatives of New Zealand to attend overseas conferences. Our students continue to excel in the Regional Science Fair, Mathex, Photography competitions and the numerous Australian academic competitions e.g. English, Chemistry, Mathematics and Science.

Our students have also excelled in the Arts. The Art exhibition is now a regular part of the school calendar and is of an extremely high standard. This year's drama production, 'Arsenic and Old Lace' and the musical, 'Grease' reached of heights extraordinary professionalism and expertise. The other groups, such as the Stage Challenge, Choir and the Concert Band were worthy representatives of the school and brought much credit to themselves and our school.

1996 was also a year of considerable adjustment and expansion in the curriculum and assessment areas. More subjects were trialling or using the unit standards in preparation for the National Framework when it is fully implemented. The school is well advanced in preparation for the introduction in 1997. This has meant a great deal of work by numerous staff to prepare these modules.

A change in the management structure occurred during the year.

A faculty system which represents the seven essential learning areas was introduced, and will, I believe, become an integral part of school administration and communication_ To keep pace with our rapid roll growth to our maximum of 1850, a number of building projects have been, or are about to be, completed during the year. A new Deputy Principals' suite was installed and additions made to the canteen. A new 12 laboratory science block with associated rooms will be in operation for next year. A large scale refurbishment programme involving the staffroom, S, B, G and H Blocks should be completed over the holidays.

One of the unsettling aspects of 1997 was the conflict between the NZ PPTA (Teacher's Union) and the government, as teachers strove to improve their pay rates and conditions of service in order to redress the situation where many qualified staff were leaving the profession and also to attract young graduates to the teaching service.

After a number of strike days and rostering home of various levels, the government and PPTA finally came to an agreement which hopefully will rectify the problems that concerned schools and principals throughout New Zealand i.e. the shortage of a well trained and qualified teaching staff.

However, despite this, and also one of the wettest winters on record, our school spirit and positive outlook remained throughout the year. I wish to thank all members of the Board of Trustees, staff, students, PTA and Maori Parent Support group who have supported the school throughout the year.

Finally, my thanks to Mrs Kilgour, Magazine Editor, and the other staff and students involved in the production of this year's magazine.

It is an impressive record of the highlights and activities reached by so many students throughout the1996 school year.

I am confident that the school will continue to produce well rounded, positive, caring young people who are highly qualified to go on to higher education, employment and responsible roles in society.

Student Representative

As this was my last year at MHS, I made sure I had as much fun and experience as I could while I was still alive i.e. before Bursary exams.

This has been a productive year for me. At times it was stressful but overall it was most rewarding.

Best of luck to next year's student rep as well as to all the students who are leaving school.

Being the Student Rep has given me the opportunity to realise how much effort the Board of Trustees puts into school affairs. appreciate them for treating me with equal respect.

Thank the Lord for all His guidance in all situations and to those loyal to The Manurewa High School.

Faculty News Human Resources FROM THE CAREERS/TRANSITION DEPARTMENT...

This has been an exciting year for The Manurewa High School Careers/Transition Department. Mrs Turner, Careers/Transition Coordinator and Mrs Hunt, Careers/Transition Assistant have made several changes in this area to ensure students have easy access to up-to-date career information. The Careers Room is open every lunchtime for all students to visit.

Three computers are available for Careers by Interest and Quest Data Base information.

Many Year 10 students have been involved in attending a STAR "Taster Programme" this year.

Arrangements were made by the school for students to visit Manukau Polytechnic to research career options available to them, and to realise the importance of education.

This has involved visiting many faculties such as hospitality, tourism, office systems, hairdressing, engineering, vehicle technology, computers and meat retailing.

tt.L-71: CHERRY BLOSSOM TIME IN JAPAN? Ais YEAH! YEAH! Although we had a contingent from our sister school in Japan, Takasaki Higashi Senior High School, we did not travel in return this year. The new four term year holiday times coincided with either the rainy season or the typhoon season, so, we requested a change to the cherry blossom time.

April 1977 should see the Manurewa High School group in the 2. middle of the Japan Alps involved in one of the most famous festivals in all Japan - The Hida Takayama Matsuri. Learning to eat well with chopsticks is only one important cultural difference, so students sometimes have the opportunity to learn through practice in class. For example it is poor etiquette to spear pieces of food with your chopsticks, or to stick your chopsticks end up in your food.

BUT, you are permitted to be as noisy as you like when slurping noodles!

Mathematics MATHEMATICS NEWS We started the year with a fully staffed department, having been joined by Mrs H Spear and Mrs D. Warfield. Mrs K. Innes Meehan was also assisting with two classes. We were very happy to welcome these experienced teachers to our department.

At the end of term I, Mr I Butts retired from teaching after being on the staff of this school since the We thank him for his 1960s. contribution to the school as Head of the Mathematics department for many years and for the valuable contribution that he made to student learning over the years. We wish him well in his retirement.

Fortunately, at the time of his retirement, Mrs K Thompson decided to return to teaching after a break of some years. She has very capably filled the gaps in the teaching programme which resulted from Mr Butts' departure.

For the first time, this year, our department has implemented the Authority's Qualifications 'Framework' by testing students in the Mathematics with Applications classes (Year 11 and Year 12) and in Year 12 Mathematics and some of Year 11 Mathematics using the Unit Standards. This has meant a lot of effort by staff in devising tests for the standards and adjustments by pupils to getting standards ticked. off instead of a mark out of 10 or 100 for a test. The PPTA 'Framework Freeze' has meant that very few Unit Standards were achieved at Year 12.

As usual over 100 of our junior projects were displayed in the Manurewa Public Library in May and the best of these were sent to the Mathex competition at the Museum of New Zealand. Our form 3 and Form 4 Quiz teams took part in both the South Auckland and Auckland quiz evenings As usual our stridence achieved some fine results in the Australian Mathematics competition. The results are listed below.

Physical and Personal Development

Science The Science Department The Science Department is looking forward to leaving behind cramped and scattered laboratories and at the beginning of 1997, moving into the purpose-built new science block. It is located to the east of the present buildings and has been in progress during the second half of this year. This will see nearly all the science subjects taught in specially designed rooms.

Horticulture, however, will still have to be taught in the prefab on the outskirts of the tennis courts.

The glasshouse and shade houses are located there and will not be moved in the near future.

The Science Technicians, who continue to provide excellent support to the teaching staff, have the unenviable task of moving all the equipment to the new rooms.

Although they are looking forward to shifting into the new block and having all the resources in one central place, they are conscious of the sorting and cleaning that all the equipment will need before they are installed in their 'new homes'.

The new rooms have a 'light and airy' look about them and the cleanliness will appeal to the students. It is hoped that they will take pride in their new rooms and endeavour to maintain its good looks.

ROADSHOW The Telecom Technology Science Roadshow visited MHS between the 6th and 10th of May. It is a touring exhibition of hands-on interactive exhibits and demonstrations linked to the new Science and Technology Curricula. Each of the activities is designed to teach students about Science and Technology in a fun and creative way.

Each session, of 120 minutes duration, started and ended with a demonstration. The two main themes this year were:

1'011

w.

Materials - this explored the characteristics of everyday and notso-everyday items Fire and Ice - this examined the concepts of temperature and combustion.

Students were then able to gain 'hands-on' experience on the exhibits. There were 50 exhibits which had been developed to captivate interest and provoke investigation. These included:

Foot notes - floor piano Beatbox - the rhythm and beat machine Telephone video machines A fish which appeared to swim above the surface of the water.

The Roadshow was a big success with 360 of our year 9 students attending and another 2320 students from other schools in the area.

ZOO TRIP Two Year 13 Biology classes started off a cold Tuesday morning with a trip to the Auckland Zoo for the purpose of studying the behaviour of primates. It also gave the students a chance to see the new MacDonalds Rainforest.

The students began b carrying out an observation activit on the Chimpanzees, Macaques, Spider Monkeys and Lemurs. The then attended a short interestin seminar on the behavioural patterns of certain monkeys, the differences and similarities between humans and apes, and the future of the zookept monkeys.

By the end of the semina rumbling stomachs were heard an it was time for lunch. Once lunc was over and all task completed th students had the chance to ru wild' around the zoo for an hour o SO.

Toakase and Teresa arrived just in time to feed the cutest, plumpest, blackest and hairest pig you could imagine. Penny and Shiphrah after imitating them, found themselves only centimeters away from a cute young male chimpanzee who was tapping on the glass wall holding their attention and smiling at them (which in monkey terms meant 'aggressionl. And Norah nearly had a face to face collision with a Tui flying straight at her in th new aviary. But it was really quit harmless and enjoyed the compan of humans.

After a tiring day of trying t read direction signs and constantly getting lost, the day came to an end and it was back to school, and back to classes as usual.

The Merck Sharp & Dohme Science and Technology Fair The Manurewa High School once again hosted the very successful Regional Fair. Twenty seven South Auckland schools brought the best projects from their school to compete for Category, Best Form Level and Special Prizes. The 240 projects were set up in the school hall on the 17th of August. On Sunday eighteen judges from all over the region interviewed the their students, studied presentations and selected the prizewinners.

The fair was then opened to the public over the next three days.

During this time school groups, proud parents, siblings, grandparents, and members of the general public visited the displays.

Many favourable comments were made as to the high standard of the investigative work, the vibrant displays and the creative ideas that were employed by the students.

The prizegiving ceremony was held at The Gallery, Manukau Civic Centre on Wednesday the 21st August at 7.30pm. The Mayor, Sir Barry Curtis , welcomed the invited guests, students and parents and told them how proud he was of the achievements of our students. The sponsors (Merck, Sharp and Dohme) were also thrilled with the enthusiasm and high standards of the many participants and look forward to being associated with the fair next year.

It was an exciting, tension filled evening as the students waited to find out what they had won. Some of the Special Prizes were: The NZ Heritage Award; The Sports Science Award; The Food and Crop award for the best use of flour; The Statistics Award; The NZ Resource Award; The Best Electronics Application Award; ($1500 MIT Tuition Award or $500); and the Best at each Form Level Award.

The students of the Manurewa High School did particularly well awards eighteen receiving altogether - the most for any school! The Premier Award, (the chance to compete at the National Science and Technology Fair in Christchurch, and the opportunity to go Whale Watching in Kaikoura), was won by our own Year I 1 student Anna Murphy.

Many of the prizewinners are keen to get started on their next project. The monetary rewards seem to be worth the time and effort a good project requires.

6th FORM BlO CAMP 1996 For some people this could be perceived as a great adventure, for others, three days of torture, a chance for teachers to subject us to traumatic outdoor experiences. As we piled into the bus there were looks of both dread and excitment.

The journey looked to be full of laughter but our fun was soon deflated along with the bus tyre.

Not to worry though; after a rather long stop in the middle of nowhere to remedy our problem we were soon at our destination - Waharau out door camp. Our topic was ecology, and when we arrived this meant absolutely nothing to most of us, but as the hours ticked by and the activities progressed, words such as stratification, succesion and zonation became part of every day vocabulary.

The work was time consuming, yet enlightening and a sense of accomplishment and relief over came us as we handed in our final products.

Night time arrived and a sense of liveliness swept the camp energy was regained (perhaps from rest or maybe all those lollies), as music blared and conversation lingered, a group tramped off to visit our friendly neighbours - the glow worms! Without the aid of a torch, trying to get there was an experience in itself, but after a few short stops to recover some wayward members we arrived.

Trying to stop the chatter was the next mission, along with the endless giggling and occasional screech.

This was soon solved though as we steared speechless - in awe of these magical little creatures glowing brightly to light up the bush like christmas tree lights. We journeyed back to our new found home and as we arrived hot milos welcomed us.

All in all this was a memorable experience and as seats were filled and the bus departed, exhaustion overcame even the best of us, and there was silence for the first time ever on the sixth form biology camp.

CREST Have you ever wanted to find a good way of fading blue jeans? Or watched someone wrestling with a childproof pill bottle, and thought there must be a better way?

Science students at MHS are given the opportunity to investigate and solve problems like these as part of their involvement in CREST. CREST stands for Creativity in Science and Technology, and over the past seven years the projects and ideas students have used certainly have been creative.

Examples range from preparing fish skeletons and possum baiting , to cockpit design and tidal forces.

Doing this type of investigation has proven to be one of the more memorable experiences for students. Personally it is very rewarding for them, promoting and recognising innovation, independence and perseverance, and a real sense of achievement.

It also gives pupils the chance to meet with people from the industry who can give advice with regards to possible experiments and refinements to their work. This partnership is very valuable - it offers insight into the relevance of science in the work force as well as possible career paths for students.

To date 308 students have successfully achieved the standards recognised by the National CREST awards. Of these students 276 have gained bronze crest and 32 have attained silver. This year has been positive also with 75 students applying to do their bronze award and 29 to complete their silver awards.

From the 8th to the 12th of Ap Sally Vegar attended tl Enviroschool held at Li nal University in Christchurch.

SI stayed in the hostels at ti University.

The timetable was full and tl participants found themsek tackling all sorts of issues related the environment. Examples were your home making you sick?', tl environmental crisis in Russia al Eastern Europe, and the Mari] coastal issues. Some local issu such as the Canterbury Plaii farmers being unable to cut Manu on their own land were al discussed.

Not all the time was spent at tl University. Visits were arranged the National Radiation Laborato the Antarctic Centre and tl Canterbury plains. They also hi the opportunity to go shopping Cathedral Square.

Form Four Science Quiz.

GOAT ISLAND

This annual competition was again entered by our school. Each class completed a multi choice test to select their team and then the teams from the best five classes competed in the school final. These were; 4KR, 4SW, 4HN, 4BY and 4TY. The school final format had three sections; multi choice, written answers and oral questions with "beat the buzzer" answering. To make things a bit tricky, nasty things like taking marks off for wrong answers were done!

On the I I th and 18th of February most of the Year 13 biology students woke to an early start. Everyone had to be at the school by 7.00 am.

On reaching the school we weren't too sure whether we would be going or not as the weather didn't look too safe - but Mrs Howard assured us it would be fine by the time we got to Goat Island!

The winning team turned out to be 4HN; so Anna Parlane, Katie Clamp and Chris Pritchard were selected as the school team, with Stacey Hurley as the reserve. This team went to the zone finals at King's College on the 24 October and competed against Papatoetoe HS, Hilary College, Papakura HS, De la Salle College, Edgewater College, James Cook HS, Otahuhu College and the host school. With more difficult questions, our team did well to beat all the others, coming second to King's College. They now go on to the Auckland finals at Avondale College on 31 October.

Together with the driver, Mr Parlane, the team enjoyed morning tea at Manukau City before returning to period 3.

7Th FORM SCIENCE FIELD TRIP The seventh form science group have been on a number of field trips this year. The first trip was to the lhumatao fossil forest by the Mangere airport, to see the Ancient Peat Swamp the preserved a Kauri forest (about 2900 years old!) that was buried by the volcanic ash from the eruption of Maungataketake, (Elletts Mountain) near by.

Once all the gear and transport was arranged we set out on our hour and a half journey and on arriving at Goat Island we got into our snorkling gear including wetsuits (which were somewhat restricting to our movements).

When we were all dressed and ready we moved down to the beach to begin our adventure once we got used to the coolness of the water and mastered the art of putting on flippers under water without losing them, we ventured out into the deeper waters.

The water was pretty murky so we couldn't see all that well, however the vast number of fish we did see was a wonderful experience.

We encouraged the fish by feeding them with frozen peas and tried not to get our hands bitten.

After spending about two hours in the water some of us decided we had had enough and it was time for lunch. After hiking back up the hill to the car park we spread ourselves out and began lunch. The more dearing of us returned to the water to finish off their adventure while the others who'd had enough set off on their journey home.

Many thanks to all the parents and families who helped with transport. Also a big thanks to Mrs Howard for organising the trip and forgetting all the wetsuits and snorkling gear. It is safe to say that a great day was had by all!

They also visited the Auckland

By Rachel McWilliams Domain to map out the volcano there. In the after noon they visited the Geology department of the Auckland University where they were shown the fossil museum .

They also had the opportunity to identify minerals and to view the MANUREWA HIGH SCHOOL seismograph.

Science Award Monty Burrows has won his second science scholarship in two years.

The I 7-year-old form 7 student went to Europe during August to take part in the London International Youth Science Forum.

He was in London for two weeks and was given a guided tour of Oxford, Stonehenge and Salisbury. He also took part in scientific seminars and visits.

Applicants for the programme were taken from two divisions - one from Auckland and one from the rest of the country. Monty was one of three chosen from hundreds of applicants throughout the city. He was shortlisted and then put before an interview panel before being given the place.

Monty's talent in the Scientific Field won him a place on the Singapore Science Research Programme last year.

He is interested in persuing a Sciencebased career.

London International Youth Science Forum 1996 I was fortunate to have been the selected candidate to act as flagbearer for New Zealand at the Opening Ceremony at the Commonwealth Institute, Kensington High Street on the morning of Thursday. This, the University College London, King's College London and the Royal Institution of Great Britain (Faraday's past lecture theatre) were the venues for our lectures/demonstrations. Titles of the lectures included "Codemakers vs Codebreakers" (Cryptography), "Thunder and Lightning" (Chemistry), and "Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy" (Biology), "Aerodynamics" (Physics).

My favourite academic part of this experience was the half day visit to Research and Industrial Establishments and Day visits as these incorporated a mixture of travelling and learning which is the best combination. 1 visited the Randell Institute of Molecular Biology, the Royal Air Force School of Aviation Medicine, Hampshire and a day visit to the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge and later to Cambridge. Each were very interesting, especially the Cavendish Laboratory where several of the world's great discoveries have been made and where New Zealander Lord Ernest Rutherford once taught as a Professor and Head of the Laboratory. The medical aviation school talked mainly about minimising the effect of air accidents. The Randell Institute was based around research and looks like an interesting kind of a career.A group photograph was taken of the staff and participants, all the participating members a photo including over 300 people from over 60 nations of the world. There was an informal discussions "topics" night where in Nutford House we had a group debate against each other, the topic being "Who's in Charge Here?". The International Cabaret night was highly entertaining, where participants

pertormed various acts/skits. The wealth of culture and humour demonstrated that night was something everybody should see.

Stonehenge was a thrill, the ancient blocks still standing solemnly after several thousand years and Salisbury Cathedral was a great one, the powers of the church and history filling all who visit. The Hampton Court and Gardens in the County of Surrey was the most beautiful and superb of all visits.

The Castle on the bank of the Thames River, had rooms completely covered by exquisite paintings and its gardens were a real treat. Afterwards Windsor Castle's cabinets of glittering armour, swords and numerous other treasures provided splendid scenes.

Wednesday 7th August was a sad day as everybody had to say goodbye to each other, people we may never meet again. The 1996 London International Youth Science Forum was an absolutely incredible experience, one of which will always be a major highlight in my life. The people were all excellent, having sincere, friendly and refreshing attitudes displaying an extremely comprehensive mix of nationalities, ideas and beliefs. The wealth of culture that I and all other participants must have encountered was a complex quality which I believe is essential to anyone who wants to have a pure and true appreciation of the world's people.

nailbiting rounds saw Manurewa lose to Rodney College in the final question of the evening by one point to finish second. This continued the strong tradition of The Manurewa High School Geography Department in this event, having made it to the finals on four occasions including a win in 1994. The team were fine ambassadors for the school and attracted many plaudits from the organizers, teachers from other schools and fellow competitors.

The Geography Department was also involved in the International Geography Olympiad during July. A number of our top Form Four Social Studies students attempted a multichoice test dealing with geographic skills and approaches. The top twenty students in Auckland including Matt Hornby and Kane Wessells were selected for the Auckland Regional Finals. Kane performed very well to achieve eighth place and Matt achieved seventeenth place. Neither student made it through to the National finals, however both performed creditably in the face of very strong opposition. This included a number of schools that encourage Level 10 (Form 4) students to do School Certificate Geography. My thanks to Mrs Dobric for taking these students to the regional finals.

Geography on Planet Hellywood After two months of painstaking preparation our Geography field trip was finally upon us. As our bus spluttered out of the school compound we had visions in mind of a relaxing, cruisy three days.

Were we wrong!!!!

On our arrival at Waharau (soon to be known by all of us as Planet Hellywood) we were greeted by a pack of frenzied, psychopathic biologists. This foreshadowed our mental state in three days time. As the devils chariot left the camp ground we felt submerged in a pool of bitter anguish. Through the biologists eyes we had seen our fate, now we were left alone to face it with no way of escape.

Our teachers transformed into the role of cruel tyrannical masters who shuffled us like cards into our final mark destiny, yes you guessed it, groups. The nightmare that was camp had now struck us with frightening force and brutal reality.

For the next three days we were cruelly tortured by our masters and made to do the most horrendous things. We were forced into the raging untamed torrents of that mighty river system known as the Waihihi stream. We were forced to greywacke scale treacherous mountain peaks known as the Hunua Ranges. We spent fearful hours drawing cross sections, maps and things that the mind can barely conceive of. Worst of all, the one thing that we shall never forget, we were cruelly made to eat the Dobric's cooking.

Orienteering The Geographers who went up a hill and came down a mountain.

Throughout our duration at Planet Hellywood we were blatantly savaged by our masters. Awanga McGeady had her arm physically ripped off by Miss Briggs during a battle over who really was the best Mr VK brutally geographer. attacked students with buckets of ice cold water as they peacefully slept. Had we not had the likes of Simon, Kelvin and Robert with us I feel many of us may have perished at Waharau, perhaps our shallow graves found years later.

Before we could finally escape to freedom we were summoned to our master's lair to accept our final humiliation. One by one we were called and sentenced. Such crimes as those listed below were publicly proclaimed and the recipient mocked and ridiculed in the presence of fellow sufferers.

Natalie Morris - won the 'junk food junkie' award for hating processed food, camp food, any food except what mummy packed.

Way back in early March Mr VK, Miss Briggs and Mrs Dobric took some foolhardy geographers for a romp around Cornwall Park in the school secondary annual Orienteering Championships.

Manurewa High School had entered five teams of keen, unwary senior students. None of us knew the perils that we would have to face. But in the end we overcame the obstacles and managed to drag ourselves over the finish line.

The Tale of Port Waikato.

The Port Waikato trip could be described as a complete and utter catastrophe, suffering from bad management and plagued by injury, but that would be lying.

In reality, what the F.7 Geographers found at Port Waikato fell just short of a blissful Utopia, rather a mediocre paradise.

With cameo appearances made by the sun, the troupe of F.7 Geonuts made the rounds of all the educational high spots of Port Waikato, anxious to absorb as much detail as possible for the inevitable exam questions.

Present in the troupe were several outstanding individuals, Mr. Hornblow, the man V.K. and Miss Briggs . Blessed were these immortals with the gifts of unlimited knowledge and wisdom, yet cursed with students, arguably from the deepest pits of Hades itself.

HISTORY TRIPS 80 Year 1 I history students and three teachers set off in Term I to look at the defences of Auckland, and other sites of historical significance. The first stop was the Devonport Naval Base where we were taken on a tour of the facilities, shown the museum, and spent some time looking over the Frigate Waikato, taking in all the sounds, smells and cramped conditions of a semi-modern warship (Waikato will be sold next year), and learning why sailors have permanently bumped heads and barked shins.

Then we went up North Head where we had lunch (and most of the group disappeared down the cliff to the beach), examined the tunnels, guns and gun emplacements up there, and on the way home called in at Bastion Point which has significance both for

Auckland's defence and as a focus for Maori grievances over land.

A few weeks later Year 13 students toured the northern Waikato looking at sites important in the New Zealand Wars of the 1860s.

Starting with St John's Redoubt (on Redoubt Road) we took in milestones, redoubts, military camps, ambush sites and fortified churches in Papakura, Drury, Mauku, Pokeno, Koheroa, Tuakau, Waimarino, Meremere and Rangiriri.

Rain threatened all day but held off until we got to Rangiriri. Then it was back home with a stop at Georgie Pie Bombay where the tables were covered with pies, chips, Coke and assignment sheets in the scramble to complete these before the trip was over.

Throughout the day the sun scorched our backs, sand whipped our faces but we carried on relentlessly each with a task vital to our existence, according to the teachers anyway. We all pitched in and somehow the work assignments were completed, accusations of colourful imagination and unconfirmed data entries flew, but none could be made to stick.

The days events would read as follows...

Leave school ... arrive at P.W Walk to Mid beach area ... work ... walk to end of spit ... work .. fool ... work ... walk back down the ruddy 3.5 km beach to the cliffs ... eat ... climb cliff... work ... work .... work ... throw rocks ... work ... scramble quickly down the cliff face . . . just manage to catch bus leaving . . . unconscious blur . . . get back to school.

All in all a rather pleasurable experience, the only possible criticism (not to be censored) was the lack of chocolate fish. If given the opportunity to do this again I would have to say... " Quite possibly, put me down as a definite maybe."

Special Education HARD TO BELIEVE THEY COULD NOT SEE The Judges had to remind themselves that the finalists in the Royal New Zealand Foundation for the Blind's Inaugural Achievers Awards were blind as they considered the 75 entries submitted by New Zealanders with international doctorates, businessmen operating million dollar enterprises, international sports people and musicians who have won international recognition.

Three of the five winners are past pupils of The Manurewa High School.

Lisette Wesseling Who won the Performing Arts category left school in 1989. After completing a BA in music and psychology at Auckland University she went on to do post graduate study at Melbourne University in singing performance.

Lisette's particular passion is baroque and early music. She regularly sings solo, is a member of several ensembles and choirs in both Auckland and Melbourne. Her energy and dedication have just gained her one of only eight places available at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. Her Head of Department at the University of Melbourne believes Lisette may have the potential to be a world famous performer".

Joanne Duffy Who won the Sport category left The Manurewa High School in 1990.

Since then Joanne has won gold and bronze medals for skiing at the Paralympics in Lillehammer, Norway. Joanne, who is severely vision impaired, skiis with the help of a sighted guide whose task is to ski in front and call directions. She averages 80 km per hour on the downhill event. Joanne has also earned seven medals in the United States and gained top places at the Australian and New Zealand championships in the slalom, superG and giant slalom.

Ivan Pivac Who attended our school for one year in 1966 was the winner in the category for Business enterprise and excellence. Ivan has a BA in psychology, a BBS in marketing as well as a M Corn. He also has a Diploma in acupuncture and 4 years training in physiotherapy. Ivan now operates a company that specialises in adaptive equipment and technology for people with disabilities. This company now supplies over 1500 product lines to customers in the areas of health, industry, education and every day life. He is also involved in research using ultrasonics for mobility and orientation. In his early 20's Ivan set off for the typical Kiwi OE experience to 'see' the world by hitch hiking around Britain and Europe - despite being totally blind!

In Melbourne Lisette has taken up the cause of deaf and blind students, urging Trinity college to formulate and adopt a disabilities policy, but says she is "not over the top about political correctness."

When asked about her blindness recently she simply said, "It used to be politically correct to call it visually impaired until someone decided that might mean you looked ugly. So now it's vision impaired. But whatever you call it, I can't see a damn thing.".

The Concert Band The school band has grown with the introduction of a new programme for year nine students wanting to play band instruments.

The first appearance of the Concert Band was at the Anzac Ceremony.

The group played a piece from the 'Lion King' and the ' Sousa Spectacular.'

For its next major performance, at the Aotea Centre, the band learned to play 'Fantasia.'

Although unplaced in the competition, the future for the band is bright indeed.

Culture

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat The well documented 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat' provided the school with its first major entertainment for the year. Both Monday 25 March and Tuesday 26 March were sold out and many disappointed members of the public were not able to attend.

The Manurewa High School Choir, along with the choirs from Central Primary School , Hillpark Primary School and Homai Primary School filled the programme for the first half of the show.

The second half of the show featured special guest star Ben Leauanae from 'Purest Form.' Mr Weeks aim for the show was to to provide an opportunity for the primary school children to experience the joy of singing. He certainly achieved that.

Choir After our success of 1995, our famous school choir prepared to get back into another season of choir festivities. The eighty-strong group of voices were lead by H.O.D Music Department - Mr Nigel Weeks. With rehearsals held every Monday and Thursday lunchtimes, as well as a few after-school rehearsals, the choir got into the swing of things.

Our numerous performances included: A musical 'Joseph and the Techni-Coloured Dreamcoat', accompanied by three local primary schools, and our guest star, Ben Leauanae.

A guest appearance in the Young Persons guide to the orchestra, accompanying the Auckland Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, as well as well-known singer Dave Dobbyn. This was followed by The Smokefree Secondary Schools' Choral Festival 1996, held at the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Parnell.

(Our breath-taking performance that night literally made Mr Thomson cry) The following week we participated in the North Shore Music festival, held at the Bruce Mason Theatre in Takapuna.

Four days later, we took up the invitation to share our musical talent and experiences at Kawerau college in Kawerau. It took a few hours to get there, when a few of us took the opportunity to take photos of those who were asleep in the bus.

We were billeted by the kind families of Kawerau, and made a big impact on the locals with our singing. After a sad farewell the next day, we left and made a few stops to browse through a few parks.

A few more performances at the Aotea Centre (which may as well have been our second home) and the School Prizegivings.

Our disciplined choir has had a great year. And we owe Mr Weeks special thanks for putting up with us. Also thanks to Mrs Smith and Miss Madjka for being our piano accompanists.

SPIRIT OF NEW ZEALAND In June of this year I was lucky enough to be a voyager on the Spirit of New Zealand, a 45m sailing ship.

During our ten day voyage from Tauranga to Auckland there were a number of vigorous activities, such as rope pulling, hauling the sails up, lifting them down and pulling them round.

On our first day on the boat we were put into our four watch groups of ten people. Of the fiftythree people on board forty were Trainees and most of us had never been on such a large sailing ship before.

On the first night on the boat we were acquainted with our new surroundings. The hardest thing to get to was the bunks we had to sleep in. However, the biggest hurdle was to get to sleep in the bunks. The next morning we had a wake up call at 6:20 a.m. and had to be on deck by 6:30. After a quick warm up we jumped into the freezing cold sea for our morning dip.

On our way from Tauranga we stopped off at Hot Water beach on the Coromandel. This was really relaxing because it was the only hot water we could have over our bodies in ten days. Normal daily washing was done when we went for our morning swim.

Day five and we stopped by the Mercury Islands for two nights because the sea was too rough and everybody would have been sea sick. So on the 7th day we arrived at Great Barrier Island after about five hours of straight sailing. We motored into Port Fitzroy at Great Barrier at about 4:30 p.m. and went for a swim.

The scheme now has eight other teachers assisting with the different areas - Mr O'Dea, Physical Recreation; Mr Parlane, Expedition (helped by Mr Muir and Miss Booker); Mrs Dilworth, Service; Mrs Johnstone, Skills (helped by Mrs Kilgour), and Mrs O'Reilly is assisting students in Maori Studies.

Duke of Edinburgh's Award At the start of Term Four the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme gained a new Co-ordinator, Mrs Dobric. Thanks to Mr Hancock for his input before departing to a new position at another school.

There are currently twelve students working at Bronze level and two students working at Silver level. Their activities, done in their own time, include Karate, Amateur Radio, Choir, Assisting the Elderly, Squash and First Aid. Students choose their own activities and set their own goals according to their level of skill and knowledge. The scheme aims to challenge individuals, and to develop selfreliance, self-awareness, responsibility, perseverance and initiative. Any students aged 14 and over may participate.

organised by the Northern Area coordinator and field officer. The tutors were students in Outdoor Education from Manukau Institute of Technology. The course ran from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, with the students learning bush craft/camp craft skills which will be well-used with the practice tramp and qualifying tramp next year. It was enjoyed by all who attended.

Next year promises to be a busy and interesting one for the scheme at The Manurewa High School with plenty of supportive staff, and involves Term One modules for senior students who may then wish to join the programme. Many thanks to all involved!

In October Mr Parlane took six students to a Bronze Award Training Camp Expedition

Exchange Students There was a considerable amount of coming and going during 1997 as our students returned from new experiences, stretched their wings and explored new horizons and interesting foreigners joined us to discover the Kiwi way of life.

Sandra Peters came back from her year in Brazil as an AFS student and S Tada, our AFS exchange from Japan and An Makino an ASSE student also from Japan, settled in for their year at MHS. Shara Curlett and Emma Hedges went off to Australia for 3 months as Rotary Twin Exchange students and when they returned in May they brought with them Emily Flahill and Anna Hutchinson who were their Australian twins.

In August we farewelled Jenny Carroll who is spending a year in Holland as an AFS student and in December we say goodbye to Andrea Beesley who is off to the United States on an STS exchange.

To those who are returning home we say "Goodbye, good luck, It was great having you here. We will miss you", and to those venturing abroad "Have a wonderful time. We know you will be superb ambassadors for New Zealand and MHS and will do your part in helping to foster international goodwill and understanding. Haere Ra."

STAGE CHALLENGE 1 996 The day of the contest saw a record thirteen schools taking part, a far cry from the three schools of the previous year, and a packed gallery in the Aotea Centre witnessed a number of superb performances.

With flowing dresses of brilliant primary colours, white shirts and bow ties, performers on roller blades (a first for this event), style, panache and pizzazz, our performance drew eager applause from all sections of the audience.

Our soundtrack ran a vast gamut of twentieth century musical styles from the 1930s Big Band sound through to 1990's Dance/Club music and any number of styles between.

The routine performed to an excerpt from Shirley Bassey's 'Big Spender' was stunning and drew many laughs from the audience, which was the ultimate aim of the whole routine.

Overall, we presented an image of colour, movement, brilliant precision and obvious delight in our own performance. To say that we were proud of our achievement is an understatement. We were ecstatic and most of us floated from the Aotea Centre stage without our feet touching the ground.

The judges, alas, saw things differently and apart from retaining the award for 'Best Soundtrack' the major awards went elsewhere in 1996.

Nothing worthwhile in life simply 'happens.' There are always those who make things happen and their efforts should be recognised. Of the teachers, Mr Cook, Miss Thomas and Mrs Murdie worked very hard, both to encourage high performance standards and retain the effective use of their vocal chords. Mrs Johnstone and her crew of mainly third formers performed miracles with a few bits of cloth in the sewing room to produce wonderful costumes and Mr O'Donnell was always on hand to give advice and assistance with the construction of the set.

This year saw a change in attack as well with a number of senior students taking leading organisational roles to enable the performance to get under way, and here mention must be made of Rohan Beal, Julie Crowe, Rhiannon Duggan, Nicole Klink, Amanda Miers, Jo Parlane and Kyla Scott.

Without their efforts and enthusiasm the whole project w never have seen the light of day. without the enthusiasm, dedica and support of the entire ca performers, backstage workers all those who helped in what little ways, no matter how s both on stage and behind scenes, the event could not happened. We can afford to pride in our achievements.

CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP The Champion was our focus for what seemed an incredibly short Term I. This Easter presentation used a tape to back an exciting dramatic portrayal of the Easter story as a fight between Jesus and Satan. We had no trouble finding volunteers for the demon sequences (surprise! surprise!), and a little more trouble finding those willing to be God, Jesus or angels.

However, we got them all, and once again, Jesus won the fight.

In Terms II and IV our meetings were a combination of visiting musicians and speakers, discussions led by lergun and some of the teachers. One day most of the Christian teachers came along and many shared a brief word of

Cultural Council 1996 encouragement with us. On another occasion, we took the hall for a lunchtime concert taken by top Australian musician and songwriter, David Evans.

It was back to drama again in Term III when we put on a version of The Good Samaritan using music, acting and dance.

The Christian Fellowship Group continues to be strong both in numbers and spirit, and we are grateful for all the students and staff who have helped us make this year a success. Special thanks to lergun, Tammy (who organised the dancing), Mr Voisey, Mr Leilua, Mr Bruce, Mrs Priest and Miss Forstner.

With thirty regularly participating members, the Council worked on several projects through the year.

Office holders included our Chairperson, Julie Melville-Smith (7HW), Deputies, Carolina Tiumalu (7PN) and Sarah Dutt (7BR). Our first Secretary was Ross McGahan, but when he left, the position was filled by Kezia Colbert (7PN). Other seniors serving on the Steering Committee were: Dayna Edwards, Theresa Walker, Nathanael Savage, Ten Paul, Lisa Cumberland, Kelly Vause, Angelina May, Renee Kirkland, Nicola Geddes and Peter Simmons.

The Cultural Council provides refreshments and assists with seating at large school functions, in particular the two major drama productions this year, 'Grease' and 'Arsenic and Old Lace.' The Council also assisted with concerts held in conjunction with the local primary schools, the Variety Concert and the PTA Evening Gown meeting.

The members appreciated the support from teacher convenors and others who joined in at the busy times.

Our best wishes to longterm members who are leaving and a warm welcome to our new Year 12 and Year I I entrants.

Chess The mere mention of Chess conjures up images of thoughtprovoking sixty-four squared black and white combat, which is exactly what chess is all about. A feasibility study to ascertain interest levels in the school exceeded all expectations.

Since July, when the lunch-time meetings began, there has been a consistently high standard of competition, from both those willing to learn the basics and those enhancing their table-top tactics.

Next year, the club plans to participate in inter-school competition.

Chess is an ideal game for those who would rather topple their opponent in a non-contact scenario and in the safety of a warm, dry room on a miserable day.

It develops cognitive skills, providing a release from an often tedious schedule.

The Manurewa High School Senior Debating Team Some people consider the term 'debating' to be a euphemism for out-and-out arguing.

Maybe.

However, for those of us fond of the sound of our own voices, (politer friends label me 'talkative') debating is a great way for us to express our views - however longwinded.

So what exactly do we do? We get a moot, which is a point that you have to argue about. Some of our moots this year were : * "That Uranium should stay in the ground" * "That we would rather be wealthy than wise" • "That the first aim of education is a career" "That Poverty is a blessing"

The Samoan Club Talofa lava! Imagine twenty young Polynesian men vigorously dancing in unison on a bare stage.

Their heads flick and spring as laughing eyes warm the crowd.

Group 'strongman' Andrew Williams displays granite abs. The wily junior Eteru loses his lavalava once again, yet continues to dance without missing a beat. Human skyscraper Paraia Toi's shoulder-length hair transforms into a solo Mexican wave.

As the group heavily slap reddening oil-drenched bodies an audience of hundreds screams for more. And just when you thought the crowd has reached their limit of response, the flexible Henry Fa'afili adroitly tumbles into a backward flip ... with his eyes closed.

Believe it or not, this was the scene that often greeted the MHS Samoan Group on their various performances this year. Howick College was the first school to succumb to 'Samania'. The audience, many of whom were seeing a Samoan cultural group for the first time, were delighted by the intensity of performance. Volume, timing, discipline and enthusiasm united to sway the crowd.

Unfortunately, audiences missed what were often the best performances; the singing and celebrations on the bus trip home.

This would become so intense that even the tyres would 'groove'.

A few weeks later the group achieved its highest ever placing in the Auckland Secondary Schools Maori and Polynesian Cultural Festival. Before a crowd of three thousand at the Manukau Velodrome, the group were able to attain a sixth overall placing. The boys scored a commendable second place in the competitive Fa'ataupati (slap dance) Section .

Year ten student, Billy Roebeck, had the confidence and charisma to be placed second in the Fuataimi (individual male leader) .

Considering the group was tutored by student leaders, this was a remarkable achievement.

Other performances at the Papakura High School Cultural Festival and before Helen Clark at the Middlemore Hospital Pacific Island Unit anniversary were much appreciated.

Many thanks to patient and determined tutors Ailine Autufuga, Paraia Toi and Deborah James.

Special thanks to Donna Leilua for her work on the uniforms and Tupou Lokeni for his expert drumming on the "sharp sounding snare".

MAORI CLUB This year has been very busy for Te Ahikaroa (the school Maori culture group). The year started as usual, with practises but unfortunately, they started later than usual, giving the group less time to prepare for the upcoming competitions.

Our first competition was the Manu Ariki National competition held in Taumaranui.

Next on our agenda, was the well known ASB Polynesian Festival held at the Manukau Veiadrome, this is also an annual event, hosted this year, by Hato Petera. Although we performed in the rain we really enjoyed ourselves. Our group, and our male and female leaders ) Leslie Broughton and Darnell Waikato) achieved high placings at this competition.

The next competition we attended was at Turangawaewae Marae, Ngaruawahia for Dame Te Atairangikahu's thirtieth year as the Maori queen. Although unplaced, we were commended for our 'Acapella' performance. (At this time of the year we did not have a guitar.)

Midway through the year we attended the unveiling of lames Cook High School student, Megan Tupuhi and we were later saddened to hear of the tragic death of Thomas Blair, ex school student of Manurewa High School.

Our tutor, Maihi Nikora, then had to prepare us for our next competition held at Waitakere College. We were placed third overall here at this competition.

As many of you may have noticed, our school whare had to be moved to make way for the new science block, and for a while, we had to practise in the pavillion.

Also this year, a few of us got the opportunity to be filmed for TV2s 'Mai Time' doing demostrations of mau taiaha and mau patu.

Our last major performance was at our own school hall for the annual four schools festival, in which Papakura High, Rosehill College and lames Cook High perform for fun, as

well as our school. At the powhiri for this function our whare and the photos of our tupuna were finally blessed.

Finally we would like to thank Maihi Nikora, Carla Porou ,Keleigh Henare, Damon Heke, Max Tauranga, Hine-Haakirirangi NikoraPorou, Moko Tini, Matai Smith and the Whanau Tautoko for all of the support they have given us. We would also like to thank Mr Hornblow, the Board of Trustees and other staff members for their support throughout the year.

COOK ISLAND CULTURAL GROUP The Manurewa High School Cook Island Group was made up of thirty six keen students who participated in the 1996 A.S.B Maori and Pacific Island Cultural Festival.

I would like to thank our tutors, Mrs Mary Brien and Ana Brien, and our manager Ms jarden for all their help and dedication.

Dawson Kataina and Noelani Mataio were our leaders and their skills were appreciated.

The group had an opportunity to perform at Middlemore Hospital's first Anniversary celebrations of the Pacific Islands Cultural Resouce Unit in late March to an appreciative audience.

DEEPAWALI Deepawali is known as the Festival of Lights and is celebrated

by Hindus all over the world. It is a joyous occasion which celebrates the triumph of Light over Darkness (or good over evil).

On this day homes are decorated with colourful designs and in the evening is lit brightly with special oil lamps (diyas), candles and coloured lights. Traditional sweets are made a few days ahead and shared with loved ones, friends and neighbours. A delicious array of mouthwatering foods is also made (and of course eaten!). Since this is the equivalent of our New Year family members receive small gifts, new clothes or jewellery.

This year seven ibravei students decided they would like to make the rest of the school aware of this occasion by putting on a couple of items at assembly. Although the thought of performing on stage was a scary prospect, all the girls thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

We hope that we can encourage more students to participate next year.

PTA 1996 The PTA in 1996 school teams as we have always done in previous years. However, because of many stresses within the school no major fund-raising event took place this year. Fund-raising was much more low key and occurred as a secondary event of our other activities undertaken.

helpers with morning tea on the Sunday of the Fair. We congratulate the Science Department on the success of pupils from The Manurewa High School both in taking the Premier Award and for being the most successful school in the Fair against some very strong competition.

We received an offer from Microsoft (NZ) Ltd to demonstrate software currently available from their company which would be suitable to support children in their activities at school. This was also supported by Compaq a computer manufacturer to demonstrate their current range of computer equipment. A very good demonstration of a range of software was given. The evening was very interesting particularly to those parents who were considering purchasing a computer or educational software for their children's use. The software donated to PTA by Microsoft was passed on to the Experience Unit for use in their computers.

The success of the PTA depends on support from our student's

The PTA supported the Science Department who once again hosted the 1996 Merck Sharp & Dohme Manukau City Science and Technology Fair by providing the judging panel, organisers and 37

parents. Anyone who would like to help can contact the PTA through the school office.

The Manurewa High School Parent Teacher Association would like to take this opportunity to wish all students, parents and staff a Safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

The Library.

It falls to those with the art of rhetorical wit and insight to present the Library's contribution to the 1996 annals of M.H.S history. No matter how absurd it may sound, the Library team has had yet another enjoyable year slaving at the grindstone to the whims of you, the students.

This year we were blessed with the arrival of two new librarians. The team welcomes Miss Box and Mrs Miers to the hectic life of Library slavery.

However, earlier this year, an individual of a high standing amongst the members of our ranks left, boldly going beyond the gates of M.H.S. Mrs. Miers, a giant amongst librarians, took her leave with much wailing and ceremonial hoo-haa. Her experience and wisdom was of megalithic help to us all. We shall remember her.

Mr. Finlay, Mrs. Shaw, and Mrs. Price have maintained the Library to their usual high standards, likely to rival that of other high schools on a national scale. For this we all should thank them.

The volunteer regiment of student librarians formed an integral part of the library service, led ably by Admiral Jordan 'Put the book away' Carter and less ably by Regular Seaman Gnatt Savage. The high level of dedication from this team has been evident this year. For example, each day at lunchtime, you can find at least one student librarian attending to the laborious task of shelving books, by choice, most of the time.

The 1996 Library team deserves their recognition for the loyalty and hard work they have shown over the year. Well done.

Community Education.

Each term more than 250 adults have taken advantage of the excellent computer facilities at The Manurewa High School. In addition many more are enjoying the great variety of other courses offered by the Community Education .

Courses such as Introduction to Computers and Introduction to Word Processing run each Night (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) and meet the needs of new computer users. They are always fully subscribed. These lead to Intermediate Computing or Word Processing which teach more advanced skills. Other computer courses are Excel - the leading Windows spreadsheet, Keyboard Skills and Desktop Publishing using MS Publisher - an excellent package for creating newsletters, flyers, brochures, cards etc. A new course that is being run primarily for a local manufacturer is part of the NZOA Unit Standards - Operate a Personal Computer.

With over 250 computers at The Manurewa High School we have a ratio of one computer for every seven students. 160 of these are networked in six computer suites that are also used for the Community Education classes in the evening. This ensures that each Evening class student has their own machine.

Three of the rooms have Pentium 100 computers bought at the beginning of the year. This allows us to use Windows 95 and a large variety of educational software as well as the latest Office 95 software.

A good variety of CD's containing research data and encyclopedias, along with a bulletin board, and access to the Internet add to our resources.

The new Community Education Coordinator, David Harvey, is also the Director of the Faculty of Technology and HOD Computing at Manurewa High School. This

probably accounts for the number and variety of computer courses offered.

Also popular are the Cooking classes with Indian cooking in the first Term, Chinese in the second, Thai in the third and Vegetarian in the Fourth term.

In addition many more students are enjoying the great variety of other courses offered. Courses such as Landscape gardening, Hairdressing, Red Cross First Aid, Defensive Driving and Wood Turning There area number of other year long courses such as Maori Language, Badminton, School Certificate English, SC Mathematics and Sewing.

The Red Cross Comprehensive First Aid is a NZOA Accredited Course Unit 532. It is the minimum training required for those appointed as first aiders under the Health and Safety in Employment Act. It deals with knowledge everyone should have. Theory and practical exam on the last night. . It also fulfils the requirements of the new NZOA units 6400 - Manage First Aid (2 Credits) and 6402 - Provide basic life support (1 Credit) This is completed during the 2hour, 8 weeks course on Monday nights.

The four week Defensive Driving course, at the start of each term, proves popular. It helps improve your driving skills and meets the Ministry of Transports requirements for a 50% reduction on a 'Restricted' License.

The Prospectus giving an outline of courses offered is available from the four local libraries at Manukau City, Manurewa, Clendon and Papakura or from The Manurewa High School Office. The costs of courses offered by the South Auckland schools are very competitive ranging from $20 to $60 a course.

MANUREWA HIGH DANCE GROUP 1996 This year The Manurewa High School Dance Group was formed under the guidance of Miss Thomas.

It was comprised of 30 students who formed a junior, senior and combined group to help choreograph a variety of dances in preparation for the Auckland Schools Dance Festival which was held at Auckland Girls Grammar in May. The Manurewa High School was one of the very few Secondary in the schools involved performance, and we were given a warm and welcoming reception by the audience. The non-competitive nature of the festival made it a positive experience for the group as "first timers", but it did not mean that there were any less butterflies on the night!

It is encouraging to see the amount of interest and talent from the students in the group, and this reflects a need to promote an aspect of the Arts that is often overlooked in Secondary Schools.

Arsenic and Old Lace A play by Joseph Kesselring and an ambitious Drama for the 1996 school year. A mad cap farce based around the strange habits of two old ladies and their nephews, was a resounding success, because of its high standard of presentation and production. The 15 strong cast and the production team worked very hard, after school and also during the holidays achieved a quality and humorous production.

The performance ran for 3 successful nights from the 30th of April to the 3rd of May. The highlights of the production often were unexpected but well appreciated by the audience, such as when the steps behind the stage gave way and Theresa Walker and I fell off the set, sending the audience into hysterics of laughter, most of them probably thought that it was part of the play.

Working with the side range of talent in the production was a treat, and getting to know people, and work with them in such a chaotic comedy was another bonus.

Grease That was worth about one and a half out of ten!' This overused statement by Mr Weeks came flying in our faces every time we felt we had put everything into it!

But looking back on it, all those hours of rehearsal and hours of "polite" criticism from Mr Weeks paid off.

The show was a complete success.

Of the six full performances, the four evening performances were all sold out. It was a fun production, complete with spontaneous improvisations and bloopers like Sulusi's drawstring dangling out of the leg of his shorts!

There were also the panic-fuelled fill-ins from the Burger Palace Boys, like: "Hey Sonny, you got a cigarette?" "... urn._ nah..."

"Oh

ah ... gee ..."

" Yeah ..."

The ability of the cast to work well with one another and enjoy themselves pulled the show together over the production limited time. The Burger Palace Boys and the Pink Ladies worked well together, but the stars of the show were undoubtedly the main characters played by the talented Sulusi Eteru and Sydney-rella Singsam. They performed classics like "Summer Nights" and "You're the One That I Want" like true professionals.

Above all, everyone involved in the production thoroughly enjoyed themselves. From the 'rebirth of wrestling' on the musical camp to the Pulp Fiction inspired dancing from the little boys at the back of the set, there was an energy that translated itself onto the stage.

This would have to have been one of the most popular and enjoyable theatrical experiences for all who participated.

Sport Manurewa High School Rugby League Year in Review 1996 At a time when Rugby was riding on the crest of Super 12 glory and the Auckland Warriors were failing to ignite, it was with justified apprehension that I called the first MHS 1st XIII muster at the end of March. I needn't have worried as the pride and mana that had developed in the previous inaugural team resulted in over forty boys turning up for pre-season.The headache ahead for Coach Stowers and myself was selecting eighteen boys to make the squad.

We played three pre-season matches, starting with an exciting draw with Otahuhu College and then a win against Tangaroa College. We were close to developing a winning formula but as with every equation there are hidden factors involved.

Our first two championship games saw us both winless and uniformless.

Unfortunately the uniforms lent to us last season had to be returned and the school did not have the funds available to support us. Just when things were looking desperate Super League, came to the party with two thousand dollars for an awesome new strip good on ya Rupert Murdoch! The school pledged shorts and socks and we were in business with lames Cook around the corner.

1.C. at 1.C. was never going to be an easy task, especially with last year's last minute loss to them still fresh in our minds. I.C. was full of Auckland Reps and brimming with confidence. However the smiles on the faces of five hundred James Cook supporters were short-lived.

Big Dave Palalei and David (The Axe) Ikitule carved them up front while Jeremy Wynyard was gutsy at half back. With Captain Josh Stowers directing traffic at stand-off, outstanding centre Anzac Lutelu went through more than one gap with speed to burn, and not a traffic cop in sight!

With twenty minutes to go in the match and the teams evenly placed, the character of our team shone through. Newcomers Pio Tauvale, Tim Matagi, Tolai Seluone and Ion Molesi showed that they deserved selection with their gutsy performances. Henry Fa'afili showed the form which must put him in line for New Zealand teams in the future.

The final few seconds of the match saw James Cook in front by three. We had one more set of six tackles to break the line. On the fifth tackle, hooker Dave Te Kani dived over from dummy half and the win was ours! There were joyous celebrations on the sideline and on the field. A disconsolate J.C. player, Uoka Sagapolutele, shook my hand and said that he wished he still played for us.

There were other wins in the season and some great tries scored.

We were stoked to make the top six playoffs but unfortunately the representative seasons of a large number of our players took its toll.

Congratulations to David Paleilei for making the NZ Under 16s and to Auckland reps, Daniel Ikitule, Dave Te Kani and Henry Fa'afili.

47

Thank you also to those who filled in throughout the season, Aaron Ross and Mark Larsen both have potential in Rugby League and Tony Tran was a great team player.

If I had to pick a player who stood out this season, it would be Daniel Ikitule who is an extremely tough and uncompromising footballer.

Thanks also to the Skittle family for their support. Finally a big thank you to Team Stowers, Steve, Debbie, Max and Josh, and to the Grounds people Trice and Tom who did an excellent job.

By the time you read this document, the current New Zealand schoolboy and Junior Maori Rep Josh Stowers will be at St George Dragons starting his professional career.

I'm sure all at The Manurewa High School join me in wishing him the best of luck. Kia kaha Josh.

1st XV Rugby.

Third Grade Rugby

The season started early for the 1st XV rugby team this year with trainings three times a week leading up to a pre season game against De La Salle College. I was very lucky to have a good young team of talented players, unfortunately all of the opposition had larger, talented players and perhaps more consistency in their game plans.

At the beginning of the season I was looking forward to a fun winter Rugby.

Grade Third of Unfortunately, the Counties Union doesn't keep an eye on weight restrictions and after playing the Rosehill second fifteen I decided a few changes were necessary. With a little more size in the team, we began to compete successfully, managing a couple of drawers and never losing by more than ten points. Eventually we had a couple of wins.

The struggle throughout the season came from a diminishing side due to team members leaving school and our inability to be able to compete with the clubs for players. Still we saw the season through with the most memorable game being against James Cook High School for the ASB Cup. We went down 17-12 in that game by an unconverted try. We were winning two thirds into the game but pure misfortune let us down. I appreciate the efforts of all the boys who played in that game and especially those who remained committed and loyal to the team throughout the season.

The highlights of the season for me were well contested games against Saint Stephens and Wesley College. The forwards would dominate up front and the backs provided good, hard, running rugby in the form of John Cameron, Chas Broughton and [Ha Burns. Rugby league has an obvious influence in the style of backline play and generally players have many good ball handling skills at The Manurewa High School.

Players who stand out for commitment and skill include Paul Miller, Sunia Pasi, Justin Brien, Nick Taylor and Clem Robinson. Special thanks to Paul and Marry Brien for their overall generosity to the team, and to Allan and Claire Peake for their faithful transport support each Saturday.

The team would definately never have functioned either without the support of parents, in particular Mrs Marshall for all of her first aid work and in all weather, Mr Larsen for assisting me as coach and Mr and Mrs Hall for always offering encouragement to the players and myself. Thankyou to you all.

Fifth Grade Rugby The 1996 season kicked off to an exciting start, with a new team meeting the eventual championship winners, Rosehill College, in their first match.

Our squad had a constant strength of over thirty keen individuals all out to prove themselves . This proved to be a real asset at times when injuries took players off the field.

As the season progressed we were able to improve our ball handling skills and our game was Old rivals, less defensive.

JUNIOR BOYS SOCCER 1996 SEASON

1st XI BOYS SOCCER - 1996 The standard of Counties Manukau Soccer improved considerably during the 1996 season. Our 1st XI competition team had a mixed season with the away win against eventual winners Waiuku the highlight of the season. Manurewa finished fourth in the competition.

This last season was most successful with our team winning the Manukau Counties 'C' Grade Competition.

The final game of the season against Waiuku 'A' was the decider in a close competition. Our home ground was in excellent condition, thanks to the efforts of our Groundpersons Trish Moor and Tom Keven.

Mr M Grant coached the team but was not fully supported by many seniors players who had jobs after school which affected their availability.

The team really responded to this environment and played their best soccer of the year against the only team that had beaten them during the season.

This years team was a mixture of a number of new players with Matthew Winiata, Jeremy Rowland, Brad Rudsits and Colin Hopkins from last year's team showing sound commitment and reliability.

This game started at a fast pace, very even, until Sun Kak scored the goal of the season with a well struck shot from 25 metres out. From then on Waiuku had no chance as Manurewa really improved as the game progressed to score another two goals, winning 3-0.

A number of new players represented the school at first XI, with Harrod Grant, Tony Eggleton, Garth Bankier, Paul Keeling, Michael Gregory, Grant Anderson and Muhammad Taufia all performing well at this level

Throughout the season this team played with alot of commitment, and really improved with each game. The twenty players involved were nearly always available and the players who were reserves, gave full support to the team on the field of play. Adding to the saying that your team is only strong as your reserves.

SENIOR GIRLS SOCCER REPORT

J UNIOR GIRLS SOCCER REPORT

A new season bought a new coach and a squad of 16 enthusiastic girls. It looked promising, the coach was looking forward to the first practice only to find out that 14 players were strikers. After much pleading, begging and arm twisting a reluctant backline was formed (many thanks to Kelly, Tracey, Kezia, Nicki and Toakase). The team was ready to take them all on.

For the first time in twelve years I took a break from coaching the senior girls and switched my attention to the development of junior girls soccer in the school. It was an enjoyable and rewarding experience. The school has a wealth of talented junior players which bodes well for the future of girls soccer in the school. During the year a number of girls joined and left the team. We always had a squad of at least 20 enthusiastic and increasingly skilled players to draw on, so competition for positions was keen.

Season Highlights Holding Pukekohe (a strong side nationally) to a draw in an outstanding team performance.

The Team Forwards Katherine Matete Amy Rowland Emma Rudsits(Vice Captain) Midfield Carolina Tiumalu(Captain) Awanga McGeady Shiphrah Pahulu Utility Jennifer Robertson Donna Cooper Elinesi Pasi Bronwyn Cooper Backs Kelly Vause Tracey Crowe Kezia Colbert Nicki Charleton Toakase Tonga Keeper Hoana Parangi A great team spirit lead to a most enjoyable season. We farewell a number of very experienced and popular players this year. We wish you all the best for the future and encourage all those interested to try out for one of the soccer teams next year!

Many of the girls had never played soccer before so the season got off to a slow start. The team lost its first three matches. From that point on the girls went from strength to strength winning matches against Waiuku (7 - I, 5 - 0), Papakura (5 - I, 4 - I) for a final season record of 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw. Player of the day was awarded at the end of each game. A measure of the strength across the team was that Justine Denton, Thary Ouk, LauraLee Tait and Bia Pham were all on equal points at the end of the season. The top goalscorers for the 1996 season were Laura-Lee Tait with 7 goals and Bia Pham with 6 goals. A further 5 players scored goals during the season.

The end of season squad was Tanya Erceg (captain), Kylee Leyshon, Kirsten Brown, Leanne Scorgie, Andrea Waller, Amber King, Madonna Dasler, Bia Pham, Thary Ouk, Janelle Stubbington, Justine Denton, Dumai Su, Laura-Lee Tait, Aroha McGeady and Joanna Espiritu.

Many thanks to Mrs. Leyshon for her cheerful support throughout the season and her willingness to help with transportation to away matches.

My thanks to the team for their enthusiasm and commitment.

First Eleven Boys Cricket Another great season was had by this team, which was able to build on the last two years with many of the players being involved during the previous seasons. Having won the competition for the last two years we determined to be at the top of the points table again.

However, at the beginning of the season we missed several games because of bad weather and this enabled some other teams to get points on the board early. The boys stuck to their goal and played with real commitment, attending practices and maintaining a good attitude when things did not go our way. When the season ended we found that we had finished first equal, sharing first place with a team from the Weymouth Club.

Eric Hokai was our top batter, scoring the most runs for the season and having the highest average. He was well supported by lames Davies, Tam Tran and Monty In the bowling Burrows. department, Mark Larsen led the He was the highest way again. wicket taker, taking twenty-one wickets for the season. Rees Logan and lames Davies also competed well with the ball. Mark Larsen was the team Captain.

We are hoping to have our own permanent pitch at the school for the coming season, thanks to a grant given to the school for this purpose.

(As the magazine goes to press the cricket pitch nears completion!)

Thanks to all those parents who helped with transport when needed, your assistance was appreciated by those in the team.

Thanks boys, for supporting your team and myself as the Coach.

MANUREWA OPEN A NETBALL Once upon a time in the land of netball, eight budding "stars" made plans to conquer the world.

They wanted to venture forth where no Manurewa netball team had been before. Land unfamiliar, waters uncrossed. The triumph of the Manukau Secondary Schools would not be enough!

Their mission, which they chose to accept, was to defeat the notorious Auckland Girls Clingons and snatch the Auckland title from their grasp.

So their journey began. Every Saturday morning, without fail the eight stars travelled to Mt Eden to compete for the Auckland Secondary Schools Championship.

The saga included the vivacious Gail Pere, coach number one.

Through her wisdom and perseverance she saw us through the initial rocky waters to many successful wins.

But due to circumstances beyond our control, coach number two was appointed Rae Smith.

The stars knew that it was going to be hard with a new coach but their strength of character and will to perform was evident in their team spirit. The challenge looming was the qualifying eliminator for the New Zealand Netball Nationals.

Unfortunately the stars were knocked out by Rosehill in the regionals but they were not downhearted. They still had to prove that they were the best!

The stars travelled to Planet Coco Cola to prove their worthiness to Sultana Lois Muir. They did not disappoint coach number three, inspirational Ana Noovao. The mission was almost completed.

Without key player Simone Turner, the stars were unable to grasp the gold from the Auckland Girls Clingons, losing by one point.

The stars were ecstatic. Admirable young stars that need to be mentioned were Leilesha Davis and Jackie Grey who had the honour of receiving most outstanding players in the Auckland solar system.

But alas, the mission was not to be accomplished by these budding stars. Though they fought to the end, they could only manage sixth placing in the Auckland solar system.

The highlight of the mission for these stars were the weekly running sessions that only lasted two days and the yummy carrot cakes made

by Mrs Shaw that only lasted two minutes.

The STARS for 1996 were made up of: Aroha Moore (Cap alias Grumpy) Simone Turner (The real Captain) Shaolin Faafili (Rudey) Sharon Tearoti (Happy) Michelle Baker (Groovy) Leilesha Davis (Grunty) Moera Stephens (Smiley) Lena Davis-Buchanan (Goofy) Jackie Grey (Froggy) Thank you to all our trekkers (supporters) for always believing in our ability to be successful. Many thanks to our three coaches who each gave us valuable personal insights into the game of netball.

We hope they continue the mission in the future of Manurewa High School netball. And finally to Mrs Shaw without whose unconditional support and encouragement we would not have accomplished our successes.

Aroha Moore Simone Turner

At the beginning of the yen coach, Mrs Sharon Evans, s, girls down to discuss what goals were for the upcoming The girls replied with, 'pla hardest, and win every game that's exactly what they Defeating any team that challenge them which led the be Manukau Region win Auckland Region winners, Northern Zone Region winner.

Pakura Wynyard who were later joint Diana Tauvale and Aroha Rupa If it were not for the help, su and great coaching of Mrs E Mrs Rupapera and Mr O'Dea girls may not have been successful.

So the unbeatable side of will next year be moving up to premiere grade to maintain winning streak.

HOCKEY

It's been five years now since we first joined forces and now, for some of us, our journey has sadly come to an end. Let's take a moment to reminisceOur first year together: 1st Counties Regionals 2nd North Island Champs (the underdogs) Second year: 1st Auckland Regionals (woohoo!)

1st Auckland Champs (yippee!)

1st North Island Champs (too easy!)

Ist Western Heights Tour (no medals, nothing) Third year: Ist Auckland Regionals (surprise, surprise) 1st Auckland Champs (pretty medals) 1st Western Heights Tour (no medals, nothingOagain) 1st Schweppes Australian Tour (big Cup) Fourth year: 2nd Regional Finals (oops) 1st Auckland Champs (ah- that's better) 3rd National Champs, Nelson (sprains, injuries) Fifth year: 1st Regional Finals (getting boring now) 3rd Auckland Champs (tut, tut) 1st in Nationals 2nd Division (we went out with a BANG) Through the years, many individuals have excelled in this sport and their talent has been recognised. Congratulations must be given to two players chosen to represent the North Island Secondary School team in the TransTasman series as well as to those who made it into tournament teams.

GIRLS HOCKEY Girls' Hockey -After being away from New Zealand for a year I returned really keen to get the hockey season started. With Mr Thomson's backing I began calling meetings but found little interest initially. However by the time games were due to begin two teams had been formed.

The First XI, coached again by Mrs Nellie Macdonald, had a huge squad of 17 players, all enthusiastic to play the games although practices conflicted with other sports and with part-time jobs. The first round of the Counties A Division competition did not augur well: we came second to last. With a mixture of new and old faces we were learning how to play as a team.

But by the time the second round started we were fired up, winning or drawing most of our games. Then came the set-back to our spirits, with our goalie leaving school. Our intrepid backs coped with the situation, one playing as a kicking back, complete with helmet. We captured a place in the final, and although we lost that game to Waiuku we felt we had developed and played as a team and deserved our second placing in the division.

I would like to thank Nellie for her continued support and encouragement as coach, Mrs Spear for in-school organisation, and the players. We weren't much at the 'Friendship knows not its own beginning, but we ended up in the depths until the hour of separation.' final - awesome!

We are going to miss the cramped road trips, the crusty motels and the catty arguments.

The Second XI, with a smaller squad, also had a slow start to the season playing in the B Division.

After the first four games - and four losses - it seemed this team was going to have a dismal season. At no point, however, did the players give up: regardless of the score they continued to try to set up attacks, and to defend their goal doggedly. The fifth game saw them draw with Rosehill. From then on their fortunes were mixed, ending with a I-I draw in the play-off for third place at the end of the season.

Many thanks to the small band of parents (and one pair in particular!) without whose help the team would never have been able to get to Pukekohe and back again.

Badminton The Man urewa High School entered six teams into the Counties Secondary Schools competition. All games were played between May and September. Our teams were very successful, winning three out of the four graded divisions.

The A grade girls team, led by captain Sarah Aikin won all of their games showing great sportsmanship and dedication. The A grade boys team came second in their division captained by Nick Chappell.

The girls BI team came first overall in the B grade division winning three of their five games, while the B2 girls, although not placing in their grade, showed great commitment and a marked improvement in their performance during the year, often winning matches 8-0. The BI team led by Young Tran came first in their division winning all of their games with the B2 team following in second place.

Overall, a very successful and enjoyable year. Congratulations to all players and reserves. A special thanks to Mrs Dobric for all of her hard work this year and to Young, Jamie and Albert for all of their help and support.

Form Three Camps I 996 There were four camps during Terms I and II with 23 0 Form Three pupils attending all together, with guidance from a total of 36 staff, parents and instructors and the "liaison" prefects attending to help their classes.

This year it was decided that only those classes from which 80% of pupils wished to attend camp could go. Thus there were three camps altogether: 3PL, 3RB and 3TM in the first; 3MP, 3TH and 3BK in the second with 3WS, 3FN and 3WD making up the third. Unfortunately other form classes did not get to go on a camp.

The programme was similar to the last couple of years and designed to encourage the pupils to learn new skills in the outdoors and to work together as teams in supporting each other. The activities in the day programme were:

Tramping each group tramped for a day in the streams and tracks of the park, finding out how to travel without wheels.

Sailing a half day was spent in the sea or the quarry ponds sailing the Optimist sailing dinghies.

Canoeing each group had a half-day session learning the basics of controlling (and capsizing!) kayaks.

Orienteering basic map reading skills and cross country running combined to lose a few.

Confidence Course clambering, climbing, swinging balancing and crashing!

Pipehenge finding out about the Earth's position and movements in space and the basics of day and night, the seasons and time using our 20th century version of Stonehenge.

A variety of evening games organised by the staff and on to provide entertainment and challenges.

The weather was generally this year, with our weeks at the managing to coincide with the between storms.

We again used the service outside instructors, John Hawo from The Adventure Source" Dianna Rands and Jo McArthur "Wanderwoman".

Of course, none of this wi have been possible without the amount of extra work put in ti) the staff involved in the program Thanks to you our Form T pupils start their association our school in a positive way.

1996 was the inaugural year for The Manurewa High School Dragon Boat Team.

This team was composed of year eleven and twelve students; an even number of boys and girls. There are twentytwo members in a Dragon Boat Team, twenty paddlers, one "caller" (person at the front with a big mouth, and one "sweep" (important person at the back who steers the boat) Prior to the school competition, each team is allocated six, one hour training sessions_ Some schools, however, were fortunate enough to have access to a boat on several other occasions, which gave them an obvious advantage.

The Coca Cola Secondary Schools Festival was held at the Viaduct Basin on February 10. We competed in the mixed grade, along

with seventeen other teams from throughout Auckland and several teams from towns further afield.

The hardest thing about Dragon Boating (apart from the physical It takes all discomfit) is timing. twenty paddlers, working in unison, to get the boat across the finish line.

At times our timing was slightly less than perfect, but with determination, and a lot of shouting from the big-mouth up the front, we managed to paddle our way to third place in the grand final. This was a great achievement for such an inexperienced crew and I know the team thoroughly enjoyed their taste of Dragon Boating. A special thanks to those who 'jumped in the boat' at the last minute, and to Mr Leilua for standing in as sweep when we really needed one.
