The Manurewa High School

From the Principal's Desk 1999, the last year of the millennium, has been a significant year for The Manurewa High School. The student roll reached 1907, the highest ever.

Of particular significance was the increasing retention rate of students,

particularly in the senior school. The school is still struggling to contain its roll to a manageable number. This has been compounded during the year with the introduction of new legislation requiring the school to put in place a new enrolment scheme with a defined priority one zone. After widespread community and parent consultation, the new scheme was finally approved late in the school year.

The building programme during the year was relatively minor, as the school had been refused financial assistance for building projects.

Nevertheless with money available from direct resourcing the school was able to complete a major upgrade of the library and the entrance to the school and build a new student services centre.

Planned for Year 2000 are the stage two development of the student services centre, the provision of a suite, and hopefully extensions to the Art Department and Business Applications

guidance

Department.

This year students' achievements have again been excellent i thank the hard working staff for their support and encouragement of our students to excel at all levels.

University Bursaries examination results last year were outstanding and are indicative of this. Seven students gained 13 scholarship passes and nine subjects in the Bursary examinations were above the national means; in a number of cases by as much as 15%. An analysis of the examination marks has been carried out during the year to ensure that there is a value added component to the students' results.

Many students gained prizes in the annual Science and Technology Fair,

with one student selected to represent New Zealand at the Singapore University seminar. The number of students excelling in the Australian competitions continued to increase.

It was a regular occurrence for two or three students in each of the competitions to achieve High Distinction, which places them in the top 1% of all students entering the competition.

Also pleasing during the year was the success in the Geography department the Year 11 Geography Quiz team gained first place in the Auckland Secondary Schools competition and two senior students were selected for New Zealand Schools Geography Secondary Olympiad. l999 was also a particularly strong year for the Arts. The Concert Band continued to achieve at regional and national levels winning a Gold Award and the Most Outstanding Award at the Auckland Secondary Schools competitions, and a Gold Award at a national competition. This success was not confined to New Zealand, because during their very successful tour of Canada/USA the Band gained 2nd place at the very prestigious and world famous Calgary Stampede.

This year's annual drama production, 'The Pohutukawa Tree' was an outstanding success. An intense, emotional drama done so professionally and with many challenging roles for the students.

Five students gained Honours in the Ilford Shield competition, and our school was placed second = overall in New Zealand. The annual Art Exhibition was once again a great success with the largest number of exhibitors and viewers thus far.

Sport was not to be outdone with many teams and individuals achieving at regional and national level. Regional competition winners included : Junior Boys Soccer, Senior Girls Softball and Junior Girls Gold

Netball teams.

The Open Netball team won the prestigious Auckland Coca Cola Invitation tournament.

The 1st XV Rugby retained the ASB Cup in the annual clash with James Cook High School. Athletics and swimming continued to develop during the year with some very promising young athletes and swimmers coming through and achieving 1st, 2nd and 3rd places at North Island and New Zealand level.

My thanks to the Board of Trustees for their guidance throughout the year, and to the PTA for their

support.

My thanks also to the teaching staff who continued to offer a superb standard of education for the students who attend our school. The growing number of support staff is noted, and the enormous

contribution they make towards the smooth running of our school. Your work is most appreciated.

Special thanks to Anthony Goldsmith and Diana Tauvale, Head Prefects, and the prefects team for the important role they fulfil as student leaders.

Thanks also to the magazine editor, Mrs Kilgour and also to Mr Kilgour for once again producing an outstanding magazine and record of the highlights and main events of the school year. To all those senior students leaving, thank you for your involvement and contribution to our school.

group did the rounds of each activity, we dutifully filled in our worksheets and asked pertinent questions.

To end off the visit Ambury provided each student with a bottle of flavoured milk. We found the topics to be relevant and well handled. It was interesting to see genetics in action.

After a brief introductory talk we were taken to "the shed" to watch sheep shearing in action. We then split up into three groups. Each group was assigned an area according to whether they were going to be viewing the sheep to analyse adaptations and breeds, handling and classifying different wool samples, or admiring the cattle while discussing their genotypes and phenotypes. As each

Next time we consume a dairy product, eat a steak, pull on our woollen jumper, or enjoy a lamb roast, we will think of all the "behind the scenes" genetics that made it possible.

Environmental Council The council is made up of a very dedicated group of senior students who have met regularly at K1 for working bees on Friday evenings during the year. We spend the time doing projects around the school to help improve the environment of the school for everyone.

The little jobs that we have been involved in have varied from weeding around the native plants

that are planted down the covered way to the painting of new rubbish bins that have appeared around the school. The undercoating was a little boring but then when the coloured paint was applied we were left to our creative urges and the fumes from the oil based paints too helped to make interesting designs. We hope that they will stand out so other students will find them to be the tidy

Kiwi as they like us to believe they are.

We also spent some time on the school boundary helping to beautify the school but it was the afternoon tea that was supplied that helped to make it a pleasant occasion as well as doing some thing useful around the school.

The Siemens Science Experience The Siemens Science Experience is an opportunity for Year 11 students from all over New Zealand get involved in hands on science at local tertiary institutions. The programmes are held in the July holidays and students can choose to attend a variety of courses during the three days. Eight keen, enthusiastic people from The Manurewa High School attended this year, Astryle Posimani, Hine-Aroha Gage, Archie Head, Michael Atkinson, Melissa Clamp, Angela Morgan, Christine Jury and Kim Ellis. Here are some of the experiences they had and things they did during these three days: When I first went to Siemens Science I thought I'd be surrounded by loads of geeks and brainy dudes...but I was wrong. I met people of all cultures, Asian, Pakeha, Indian, Pacific Islanders and so on. It was good to mingle with all these people, they were all friendly and cool to hang out

with. (Astryle) When attending Siemens Science one of our first experiences was when we went out for a bush walk.

We had a sheet to fill out and one of our exercises was to identify the native trees. The walk was really hot and long. During the three days we went to different polytechnics to do our courses and this was really interesting. (Hine) Different activities were offered at each Technical Institute. For example at Manukau Institute of Technology we made a polygame, which you can play four different games on. One of the games was Simon easy/Simon hard, you had to follow the tone patterns the game made without making any mistakes. It also worked as a dice. (Angela) To make the polygame we had to learn how to use soldering irons. We made this in electronics at MIT. This

experience was great and I re enjoyed it. (Christine) One of the courses v biomechanics. On this course looked at different aspects of hea We cut up hearts, and tested reflexes! (Michael) To test reflexes they would st electrodes somewhere on your ai By doing this they could make yc fingers or thumb twitch. (Archie) Everybody who attended came as with something valuable, whet) having a chance to meet new peoc or just getting familiar with what t local tertiary institutions have offer. They also had a chance to I things that you can't do at schc because many of these places ha specialist equipment.

If you have the chance to attend of these programmes go for it.

IA Investigations that were carried out were exciting and innovative many on the cutting edge of Science. Katie Foote writes about her project 'Pollen and Forensic Science' to share some of her experiences from her involvement in investigative work and the Fair. Katie also received a silver CREST award this year in recognition of her excellent work.

CREST is a nationally recognised award for creativity in science and technology.

Jashneel receiving the Environmental Award from Manukau's Mayor Sir Barry Curtis

My project was an investigation into just how pollen can be used in forensic science. This is a relatively new method used to collect evidence from crime scenes that is becoming more popular in New Zealand. The idea of evaluating it really appealed to me.

My aim was initially to see whether or not I could identify an unknown sample of pollen using the sketches from the catalogue I was developing.

To get relevant background information and to find out how to extract pollen I contacted Dr. Mildenhall a palynologist in Wellington. Dr. Mildenhall later became my consultant for the silver CREST. Dr. Mildenhall sent me a method called Acetolysis, which involved the use of dangerous acids to strip the continued on page 12 11

This caused a bit of panic initially. I found out that the acids were so

strong they were causing the plastics holders to go brittle and smash. To solve this, I used bungs to stop acid escaping from the test tubes.

The pollens were really small, and each one was unique. The final

ASTA - Quiz On October 18th our four finalists from our school quiz went to Kings College to represent The Manurewa High School at the ASIA (Auckland Science Teachers Association) Quiz in the South Auckland Schools Final.

The "Team" of Renee Cassin, Chris Ellis, Laura Gemming and Bassett Khou performed well. They gained 74 1/2 points out of a possible 100 and were placed 2nd in a field of 9.

They really enjoyed the intellectual stimulation offered by the problem solving nature of the quiz and Bassett, who was the team "runner" was an extremely "active" participant! The Auckland final will be held on 28 th October at Avondale College; we wish them well for this event.

Health FADE Darryl Suasua has successfully presented another Drugs and Alco Awareness programme to year 10 students of The Manurewa High School As there is no longer any Government funding provided for FADE (Foundati for Alcohol and Drug Education) to present their programme to schools, Dar has decided to "free-lance" and because of his dynamic presentati technique he has been successful in doing this since leaving FADE. The students relate well to Darryl because he believes in simply presenti them with the facts, rather than sensational horror stories which may test students' credibility.

The programme content covers Alcohol and the symptoms of alcoholism a various other drugs but concentrates mainly on those readily accessible to t students such as cigarettes and marijuana.

Darryl's relaxed and easy manner and his ability to relate the content to famil aspects of the students' lives ensures that the sessions are lively and enjoyabl We look forward to seeing Darryl back again in 2000!

Goat Island On the 21st of February 1999, Year 13 biology students left school at 7am to travel up to Goat Island Marine Reserve , Leigh. It was a fine day but due to storms previous to the date, the under water visibility wasn't at its best. A few students had fun just getting past the breakers on the beach. Once beyond the breakers though they could see a selection of fish living in and around the marine reserve. Due to the storms many fish weren't around in high numbers. A few of the fish seen were Blue Maomao and Snapper, both were in large numbers, many of the Snapper up to 60cm long. Also seen were Leather Jackets and a few other species.

Stopping for lunch, after 3 hours in the water, found many students cold and exhausted. Students were given frozen peas to feed the fish but only the bravest attempted another swim.

Others fed them from the rocks. It was thrilling, yet frightening, when fish swarmed towards us, just from the smell of the peas.

Between two and three in the afternoon everyone slowly began to return home very tired and burnt.

Altogether it was an enjoyable and memorable day, there were no complaints or regrets.

Computer Controlled Lego

This year money from the information technology grant supplemented the purchase of interface equipment to connect Lego to our school computer hardware. Students have been able to connect sensors for light, movement, and temperature and then record over a period of time changes in these.

As well small motors constructed from Lego components are able to be connected to the computers and then controlled through the computer inputs. All this makes for exciting robotic controlled learning!

Here is what two lads had to say about it!

"The Computerised Lego was a good learning experience because it gave us an introduction in lego building and computer programming. We had to learn the language that is used in this program, this language used commands like: talk to "motord, setpower 6, wait 20, talk to [lampb lampc] We really enjoyed working on our own away from the class and it has given us another career choice in computer programming" Mark Watson and Alistair Kuypers 10 LA

YEAR 09 HORTICULTURE TRIP BOTANICAL GARDENS On Tuesday 8th June two Year 9 Horticulture classes set off to the Botanical Gardens for a practical experience in identifying Native Trees and Herbs. This is used as a reinforcement for the classwork done during the term. The following is Mathew Chamberlain's impression of the day.

"At the botanical gardens I did all my native trees first, we found Kowhai then Kawa Kawa then Karaka then Rewa Rewa then Toa Toa and Tawhai.

It was hard and then we went to the herb garden.

There was a herb called Stinging Nettle and I touched it and it hurt for a long time and there was one called Catnip which makes cats go crazy, I thought it was very cool."

The OWL at Waharau Our year 12 biology camp was held at Waharau. The camp challenged us with biological theory and we learnt a lot about the world of nature. We all had a chance to face mother nature hands on in activities testing not only the students' intellect but fitness too. We encountered fantails, owls and every insect you could imagine (sometimes being eaten alive by them). Wading through the freezing stream we found ourselves with eels, clear fish and small larvae trapping themselves in our nets.

Hiking through the bush not trying to disturb the creatures we found ourselves bewildered at the beauty of the trees and ferns.

Stumbling and shuffling across unstable rocks toward the beach to drop our quadrats and examine the starfish, crabs and chitons. We enjoyed the cool sea breeze although it did make it difficult to write.

After our graphs were drawn up and our essay finished. Our evening entertainment took us to the dark and enigmatic depths of the forest with no light to guide us to enjoy and commune with the glow worms and stare at the phenomenal amount of stars. Overall the three days gave us an experience of plant, and animal life in the New Zealand environment in New Zealand which I am sure will help us a lot with further studies and exams

Singapore 1999

Chris Garton (right) in front of the student hostels at Nanyang University

I was fortunate enough this year to be one of two New Zealanders awarded a scholarship by the Royal Society of New Zealand to study at the Nanyang University in Singapore.

I resided in Singapore for three weeks as part of the Technological Engineering Research Programme they were running at the university.

To put it in a nutshell, the 90 students partaking worked in groups of two or three to investigate their chosen topic under one of the engineering or science fields. My team's project included an investigation of propulsion in the field of biomimetics.

The university had us working pretty hard but I had time to do what I really wanted to do, which was to see the city. We worked from 9:005:00 weekdays and 9:00-1:00 on Saturday, the rest of the time we had to ourselves to do whatever we wanted. This wasn't too bad though because the city doesn't close at night but actually opens up even more, and so the best time to see the city was often in the evening.

Thus we toured the city, went to the odd party (Singaporian style which is quite different), and had a really good time.

The University campus itself was huge, but was still able to cater for our needs. We were basically on our own and treated as university students which suited us fine.

We stayed in student hostels and were given a food allowance to spend at will. The university's facilities were excellent for our projects but they were also very good for recreational activities.

Aside from labs and so forth they had: a fifty metre swimming pool with diving boards, a gym, tennis courts, squash courts, a running track, as well as several fields (and Singapore being as crowded as it is, having the land to build all this was no small achievement).

The flight to and from Singapore was eventually all paid for. Half of the trip was reimbursed by the university, whilst the other half was eventually paid for by sponsors of the Royal Society of New Zealand, making my trip all expenses paid.

The picture above is of Clint (the other New Zealander from Te kauwhata College) and in the backdrop is one of the wings of our hall of residence. The photo was taken just after the closing ceremony of the program and we were requested to wear our uniforms (Clint's college doesn't wear a uniform in the seventh form).

Our room was in a wing of a building identical to the one in the photo. We were on the top floor which at first I saw as a down side having to walk up and down the steps several times a day but was soon very grateful when

I realised that the mosquitos di come up that high.

To summarise my three weeks Singapore I lived the life of Independent Singaporian stude resided in a student hostel, ate local food at the cafeterias, studied at the university eventually started talking like as well. The change of culture for could be described as "walkln the heat of the day and having a breeze surround and whirl aro you". It refreshes you and makes more aware of not only y surroundings, but also things a yourself that you had forgotten.

As an old Chinese proverb goes better to travel a hundred miles to read one hundred miles worth scrolls'. This is certainly true as most interesting and memora aspect of the trip was living the of another culture (well as much could in three weeks), eating much of the local food as I c stomach, taking the public trans. everywhere (as they do thems and generally doing all the thi Singaporian does in their day t • life. If the opportunity to overseas were ever to arise a would most certainly take it.

Biolive Conference Every second year biology teachers of New Zealand hold a three day conference. This year the conference was held in Auckland at Waipuna, Mt Wellington. Mrs Barclay and Mrs Howard worked as part of the organising committee.

The conference proved valuable both in updating of knowledge and exchange of teaching ideas.

Biotechnology, in particular, gene technology and the associated research as relevant to the year 13 biology curriculum, was enlightening. The visit to the Auckland Molecular Medicine Department provided an insight in to just what our biology students can be expected to be undertaking in their programme during their time at university. In particular the computer imaging as diagnostic tools within the genetic field was most interesting. We were able to view the chromosome mutations from patients who were suffering from various types of leukemia.

On the Thursday we travelled to Little Barrier with the intention of getting a better perspective of the conservation of endangered species.

Unfortunately a wind warning came up and during our return journey we were more concerned with conserving ourselves! Attempting to get into a rubber dingy bouncing around in waves as we stood waist high in a rather choppy sea proved difficult. Transferring from the dinghy to the dive boat was another confidence tester and when comparing bumps once aboard it seemed that Mrs Weatherly (Maths Department) could claim to have the largest haematoma! Sea sickness for some, made the return journey far from pleasant. But it was a once in a life time opportunity and worth the drama!

1 999 Trip to "Fitness Plus" Every year with great regularity, t Science Department of Manure High School manages to take a w variety of students, (ie all lev academically and of varying ages) Fitness Plus which is the wonde gym "up the road" from the schoo

1 0EV's Trip to Rainbow's End On the last Thursday of Term 3 10EV went on a class trip to Rainbows End. We had just finished studying the Wheels and Weights Unit in Year 10 Science and part of the requirements of the Unit is to visit Rainbow's End so the students can apply what they have been studying about. We timed various rides and completed other activities from a worksheet.

Apart from having a great time, going to Rainbow's End is a great way to apply what we have studied to a practical situation. Everyone had a great time and were really well behaved. The students were a real credit to The Manurewa High School. " Our class 10EV went to Rainbow's End for half a day with our Science teacher and our science teacher let us go in groups, it was cool. We had to time the rides like the "Family Carts", They were fast, faster than the "Go Carts". We went on the "Family Carts" about 10 times because it is cool and you get 2 laps to race.

We timed the "Roller Coaster", the speed around once was 30 seconds and we went on the "Log Flume".

We had to time it from the top of the main end of the ride, it was fast - 4 seconds.

After we did the worksheet we got to go on any ride. Chris and I stayed on the "Family Karts" and the little "Go Karts" from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock.

These visits are curriculum based relation to Year 10 "Sports Science 12 HBH "Fitness" module, 11 H "Heart and Circulatory System" a NZASE "The Human Body".

The manager of the gym, who name is Darrell, is not only obligi with discounted fees for the studer but also gives them his undivid attention while they are there. has been known to follow up t gym visit with a school visit to discu with the students their diet and th fitness levels!

The comments heard from t students when they are participati at the gym are common ones I "cool", "show me the weigh Darrell", "Can I stay longer?", "H much does it cost to join up?"

This is an invaluable resource for school in a day when students' li are generally becoming mo sedentary. This is evident in average student in the cla exhibiting signs of excess body fa lethargy, and a poor diet.

The visits will continue as long as popularity and the enthusiasm them is there among the students See you next year Darrell!!!

Crest CREST represents Creativity in Science and Technology. Each year more and more students are getting involved in CREST at Manurewa High.

In 1999 achievements were: * Bronze: 39 * Silver: 42 Crest is a nationwide Awards scheme to encourage student projects in science and technology. Crest aims to make science and technology more exciting, more appealing and meaningful to students. Students explore creative solutions to practical problems. Crest is not a competition. Assessment is based on criteria as given by Crest.

One project undertaken by Ming-en Wu, "Fat content in Beef Cuts" lead her to win an award in the Manukau City Science Fair.

Report from Ming-en During this year all students in the school participated in a science fair where they were to complete a science project. I did my project testing on the fat contents in different beef cuts and compared it with its retail price to see if there were any relationships. Under the

encouragement of teachers and members of the community a majority of the students in my science class and students of other form levels, attained a Crest award.

The best thing about Crest is that it provides a problem solving framework that helps you succeed.

Most of all Crest is not a competition. All students whose projects meet the criteria set down

for students achieve their Silver Crest Award.

Crest encourages us to use creativity to tackle problems, to persevere through the inevitable difficulties, and to apply anything relevant we know to our project. Crest projects can be challenging but they are interesting and fun to do.

School and Business Partnerships

All staff work together with the common aim of enhancing, encouraging and supporting the personal emotional and development of students at school so they are given the confidence and direction to pursue their academic, vocational and personal goals.

1999 has been a year of change for Human Resources with new personnel, new programmes and new buildings. Mrs Susan Impey was appointed Director of Human Resources and began her new position Term 3. The Senior Guidance Counsellor, Mr Bryan Smith (appointed late 1998) has been joined by Ms Christina Jarden as the School's second full time Counsellor, with main responsibility centred on girls' welfare.

The programme was well received and we look forward to developing it further in future years.

Year 11 Merit Scheme This scheme, run with the support of McDonalds, has once again been a great success.

Many Year 11 students have been achieving merit coupons, with some receiving up to ten coupons a term. It is positive for students to receive recognition for good work and attitude, with the incentive of a McDonalds meal at the end.

Peer Support Training Many Year 12 students have undertaken a two day programme aimed at increasing and developing their leadership skills. Once trained the students work as "Peer Supporters" for the new Year 9 students.

Careers/Transition Report Once again, the year has been extremely busy for Mrs Turner, Mrs Hunt and Mrs Porter. A large number of senior students have taken the opportunity to seek guidance either in career planning, employment opportunities or

tertiary training. The Careers Roc is well resourced for all tertiary a private provider information a includes various computer softwi programmes and a video library. students are encouraged to use Careers Room facilities.

Speakers A variety of speakers have present Seminars to interested stude during Terms 2 and 3. These h included the services - Army, N Airforce and Police, as well animation, teaching, hospitality catering, tourism, medical schc and psychology. Liaison Offic from most Tertiary Institutes h been represented and well attenc by our Senior students.

Out-of-School Career Visits The Army Display at Elle Racecourse was attended by fift interested senior students. Displ from all facets of Army life demonstrated, and students w encouraged to have "handsexperience riding armoured tart and trying their skills at the ri range. The highlight of the day the "mock battle" where SAS trop were flown in by helicopter. Thisa "followed up" the next day by an pupil - Robert McGavin - current serving in the Army as an Enginee speaking to the students about personal experiences. All in all, wonderful opportunity for tl students.

To assist some senior students career direction for 1999, seve visits were organised to vari Polytechs. The range of to investigated included architectu landscaping, performing ar marine, medical imaging, art ai design, nursing, communicates

The Manurewa High School studies and engineering.

Mrs Douglas' English as a Second Language students were taken on a tour of Manukau Polytech to familiarise them with the facilities available to them as ESOL students.

Engineering Day Seventy senior students interested in Engineering attended an "Engineering Day" organised by Manukau Polytech. This was well received by the students as it included practical, hands-on activities. All students made a CD holder during the course of the day, and were given information on the courses available to them for all facets of engineering.

Enginuity Day - Auckland University To encourage girls to enter Engineering, Enginuity Day was organised for interested senior students. This was also a practical, "hands-on" day which our students enjoyed.

Coca Cola Careers Expo This was well attended by our senior students.

Maori And Pacific Island Career Planning Days Senior students had the opportunity to attend these Seminars and really enjoyed the day. Role models gave motivational presentations throughout the day and the students were encouraged to achieve academically.

A small group of Pacific Island students attended an information morning at the Auckland Institute of Technology (now the Auckland University of Technology), and were hosted by the Pacific Island Liaison Officer.

Year 10 Tertiary Taster Once again, Year 10 students participated in Careers

Week which culminated in a visit to a tertiary institute. All 435 students visited a tertiary provider to explore life and courses at tertiary level.

Visits were made to Auckland University, Auckland University Tamaki Campus, the Auckland University of Technology, and Manukau Polytechnic.

primary role as Director of Human Resources, was then appointed as Deputy Principal of Glendowie College, a position which commenced at the beginning of Term 2.

Mr Smith was then appointed as Senior Guidance Counsellor.

Year 12/13 This year all Year 12/13 students were involved in Unit Standard Core Generic Career Modules. This involved Year 12 students completing a Career Plan and Year 13 students completing a Curriculum Vitae.

Life Skills Year 11 and 12 Life Skills classes have continued to benefit from special programmes organised by the Careers/Transition Department. This included the opportunity to attend Work Experience and our pupils attended various businesses in the Manukau area. We would like to thank those employers most sincerely for supporting The Manurewa High School students.

Representatives from WINZ gave an informative presentation as to how their organisation can help school leavers.

The students also attended Youth Skills which was held at the Greenlane Expo Centre this year. All trades were represented, and demonstrations and competitions were held throughout the day.

Year 12 Leavers Seminar A Leavers' Seminar was arranged for Year 12 at the end of the year, and was supported by past pupils who held a forum, career guidance and decision-making activities.

Guidance This year the Guidance Department has experienced major changes; firstly with the arrival of Mr Bryan Smith who had previously worked for seven years in West Auckland in the areas of Health, Transition Education and Counselling. Miss Louise Moore, who was involved in Counselling, in addition to her

Mr D Smith The position of School Chaplain had been vacant for over a year; however an ex-head girl of The Manurewa High School, Susan Miller, commenced in this role at the beginning of Term 3. The Board of Trustees then gave approval for the creation of a new position; that of Guidance Counsellor with special responsibility for counselling our female students.

Ms Christina Jarden, previously Year 10 Dean, was appointed and began in this role at the beginning of Term 4. We can now look forward to the benefits that a stable staffing situation can offer for the year 2000.

This year the Guidance Department has offered individual, group and family counselling (confidentiality ensured) on issues such as parent or peer conflict, depression, stress and anger, sexuality, mediation, grief, relationships, school concerns, and parental separation and divorce.

Much of our work involves liaison with agencies outside school, such as Youth Law, CYPFA, public health services, public and private practice counsellors, drug and alcohol rehabilitation organisations, and the Special Education Service.

Approximately half of the students 19

seen have self-referred for counselling, while the remainder have been referred to us by parents and guardians, staff, other students, or outside agencies.

Each term the "Challenge for Change" courses have been facilitated by the Guidance Department. The aim of these programmes has been to challenge our students (referred by Deans, Deputy Principals, or Counsellors) to change attitudes and behaviours that are unacceptable either at school, home or both. The topics covered during these eight 2 period sessions are self-esteem and communication skills, responsibility and co-operation, anger and stress management, problem-solving and coping skills, and respect for others.

We are very satisfied with the progress made during these courses for most students, which are run by two Youthline counsellors in our school Whare.

Health Centre The Manurewa High School boasts two Registered Nurses, Carolyn Pritch full-time and Catherine Mounsey part-time.

As primary health providers for the majority of students (this is the case in rr New Zealand secondary schools) the nurses deal with a broad spectrurr Health, emotional and social issues. These include minor accidents i common ailments, health, hygiene and dietary advice; puberty, sexual he and contraception; solvent and substance abuse. Referrals are made to own guidance department, or outside agencies in any of these areas, as need arises. Liaison with parents, caregivers, doctors, dentists and pul health also forms part of their role. Carolyn and Catherine educate student a one-to-one or group situation in a confidential and caring environment.

This year the health centre was extended, allowing for the provision separate bunkrooms for female and male students.

1999 has been a progressive year for the Guidance Department, and we now look forward to the year 2000 when we will work from upgraded facilities and offices which will include a spacious room for group counselling and family group conferences.

Dormant Elephants Kelly Dunnings 12HN She sat alone in the coldness, hostile regardless of its familiarity. The building was massive, but downsized by its towering machinery, and metal tracks that ran overhead, twisting, curling, then either disappearing into a machine or piercing through a gap in the wall. The machines stood like dormant elephants, silent and daunting. The blue bulk of their shells were formal and cold.

She dangled her weighted legs over the edge of the wheeled table, heavily dragged by scuffed, ink-smudged steel-capped boots.

The walls of the building itself were icy blue, with absent chunks of plaster exposing hospital white flesh. Blue was her favourite colour, but still she felt the outcast; no colour in this place could ever have a warm aura.

These walls held stories of people who spent their nights working; stacking, repairing, tidying, watching, discarding. The hours when the newspapers travelled smoothly through the machines was usually the worst. She sometimes found herself overwhelmed, dizzy at the constant clicking and echoing madness of each machine.

But always at this time, was silence. Only she and her father were here this early; her only gripe about being "the boss's daughter".

She felt behind her for the worn leather of her dull black bag, taking from it a thickly filled folder and a BIC ballpoint pen. She sat for a while, staring mindlessly at the heavy shapes of machinery before her.

Through a space she glanced a movement...Henry. He caught her eye and bobbed his head. She waved to him, then smiled. She had gotten to know him better over the last year, and was no longer intimidated by his hefty, broad waisted trunk. She regarded him as one of those "gentle giants".

She watched him lean into his chair like pregnant women, then he lost himself into a large advertisement - the kind that advertised ritzy apartment buildings and rich houses on the Shore.

"He, Jessie". Another man was here.

She leaned on the shaky steel back of the table, its shiny surface greased with ink, reflecting her youthful face. Its strong edge bit into her hands - still soft and delicate, even after a year's work. The smooth, thin hands of a child.

John grinned back at her, the odd wrinkle of his face creasing gently. As usual, she glanced at his hat; he always had a new one. This one was scrawled with a familiar saying of work and money; he was too far away for her to read it properly.

His soft blue eyes glanced at her thickly adorned folder. "Studying again", he observed. His face tensed with a solemn stare and years of life's experiences. "I wish I'd stayed at school - then I wouldn't be working in a dump like this".

"It's not that bad."

But she knows what he meant - he'd spent years of his life here, and it was a place of repetition. He knew how to handle the machines land his crew, which made him the best supervisor to work with), but there wasn't as much to it as there could be in life.

It was when she sat among this machinery, when she saw these ageing men turn the pages in their newspapers to things they could never afford, she felt vulnerable to life's hand. It wasn't just the money - she prized being happy, contented, over everything else. And this place offered no such emotions to anyone.

She felt like a princess working alongside the peasants. She had a chance, opportunities, and they had nothing but hope.

The folder and pens still rested in her hands, and she clicked the pen with an absent mind. Her back was now turned to the machine, and her eyes gazed towards the windows that ran along the top of the tall building, like metopes along an ancient temple. Yet was nowhere near as accurately designed or beautiful. The line of the windows were no more than thin strips of white-painted wood, sheeted with dirty rectangles of glass. They were fixed into the solid walls with a ledge inches wide, on which rested years of dust from newspapers past and gone. She couldn't actually see it, but knew it would be there; even after one night in that place, she would leave dusty. Flecks of white dust always clung to her hair and clothes.

Black. It was all black outside, lonely and desolate.

Her skin would be black later. Working with freshly printed papers meant ink always smudged dull black markings across her face and turned her pale hands into those of a dark-skinned African tribesmen.

She realised she'd been indulging in procrastination, something she often lapsed into. It was so easy to drift into thoughts of what was happening to her in the outside world, especially if it was something she'd rather not think about. She knew she couldn't be like these people who came here we nights a week, every week, to their mundane, simplistic world. She needed a world of promotion, and life and laughter. She needed to think to be driven forward by needs and wants and deadlines.

She could never end up here for the rest of her life, with a sad story to tell of jobless months, failing business, like many of these people who once lived in worlds of progress.

She would live to be free.

Samoan Culture Group

Sugar " 0 le a?" " Sau!" TALOFA!!

It was several weeks before March 18 1999 - the day of the ASB Secondary Schools Maori and Polynesian Festival.

This year, it was easy getting a group together, as many keen Samoan students were interested in joining.

Our group wasn't just for Samoans, we had 3 Niuean and one European student, that was a new and welcome experience. As weeks went by with before, after school, lunchtime and Satuday practices, we practised just hard enough to get our actions, dances and singing right.

(Let's say that Taumaia had to scream I) to make us get it right The boys had a slow start during the first two weeks of practice, but with strong determination, they got it in the end.

Our dedicated leaders, Taumaia and Jesse (with the help of Sia) really helped shape the group with their discipline and talent. Finally March 18 arrived. Our bus delivered us to the Manukau Velodrome! The MHS Samoan Culture Group was to perform!

The excitement that we had was incredible, everyone was kissing and hugging, reassuring each other that

"We'll be fine, just relax. Relax".

Just before we performed, Taumaia said a prayer for our group and we went silently to our positions on that big and frightening entertaining stage! The drums banged loud and our harmonised singing was amazing. Shouts and screams of support were heard from the audience, then it was over.

Wright for their patience in supervising us during our long practices. la faatasi mai pea le Atua mo taumafaiga a matou le fanau o le Samoan Group i Manurewa High.

See YOU in the millenium. Tofa Soifua ma is manuia.

By Alualumoana Lakisha Sio 12LS

We had fun performing at the Festival and even though Billy Roebeck wasn't there, he was there in our hearts and we felt him, guiding us all the way.

The highlight of the performance would be the time we walked off stage to the changing rooms and we were told that our uniforms were beautiful, that we should be proud of ourselves for getting up there and doing it for our Samoan Culture and our school.

Yeah!

Many thanks to our patient leaders Taumaia Fa'afili, Jesse loapo and special thanks to our teacher in charge, Ms Jarden, as well as Mrs Evaroa, Mr Pinto and Mrs

Tena koutou katoa Hey all you fallas and falleses First of all the Maori Club had an early start to the year. A few weeks before school started we returned and began to work hard on our new bracket. Our first major competition was of course the A.S.B Maori and Polynesian Secondary Schools Festival, which was held at the Manukau Velodrome over the weekend of 18th - 20 of March.

What an amazing ride it was to prepare for this event, for weekends and evenings previous to this all we were doing was Maori Culture!!!

Although all of our hard work paid off in the end when our 13 ladies and 3 warriors faced teams of fifty from throughout Auckland to place 3rd overall. This was an amazing achievement for us as it made all of

the hard work, long hours and yelling seem more than worthwhile. We placed in most categories at the festival including James Dawson achieving 1st place for Male Kaea (leader), 1st place for Moteatea, our 3 warriors placing 2nd overall in the Haka, 2nd Mita o to reo (language pronounciation), 2nd place for the Whakaeke (entrance) and 2nd for Kakahu Tane.

Other competitions we participated in were The Maori Queens Coronation in Ngaruawahia, ManuAriki Regionals at Waitakere High School where we placed 2nd and qualified to perform in a National competition next year in Taumaranui.

We had to learn a new Entrance, and a Choral item for this which was hard work. The final competition we participated in was Te Ahurea Tino Rangatiratanga, in September where we did not place although we had a great day.

And to James Dawson the most outstanding kaea who has led the group well, thankyou for your dedication and hard work. The group will always love you and miss you. Oh no! You go Aussie!

Library Report.

After four years as a student librarian I believe 1999 to be the busiest year yet. There has been a large increase in student use of the library facilities mainly due to the renovations and upgrade of the library building. The proposed changes of 1996-1997 have finally been achieved.

The library has been refurbished with stunning new carpet, a wonderful paint job, groovy posters sporting the faces of American celebrities and a fabulous new librarian issue desk, completing the "new look" Manurewa High School library.

As well as the library renovations, the upstairs senior study area was fully refurbished with new tables, chairs and display shelves which hold senior text books from almost every department.

Accompanying the library refurbishments was the purchase of hundreds of brand new books and periodicals bringing our library into the new millennium.

Term three ended with the departure of Mrs Box who has returned to the Netherlands after three and a half years with us. She was not only a professional librarian but she also doubled as gossip guru and counsellor to the student librarian team especially to Angela W, Heather, Rochelle, Mark, Jay Ar, Lyhour and Angela G. She will certainly be missed.

Above. Librarians beside the unused salt water pool at Rangitoto Island Left: On top of the world_ From left; Jay Ar, Angela, Shaun & Rabab on the summit bunker

It has been a very enjoyable year for all the student librarians and as a reward for our hard work, the librarians had a dinner in our honour in the school restaurant.

Personally I have found my first in-school major leadership role to be quite demanding but I would like to thank librarians Mrs Nicholson and Mrs Miers and teacher librarians Mr Finlay and Mrs Shaw (my mentors) who deserve special recognition.

In conclusion, I would like to wish everyone luck for 2000 and hope everyone will party safely over Christmas and the New Year whilst I spend five weeks on a French exchange in Tahiti.

INDIAN CLUB 1999 The group started with 18 members this year. The aim of this club is to: *

help students learn and appreciate their culture

*

make their transition into the "new" culture easier

•

bring about more cultural integration and understanding

In term three a group of nine members entered the intersecondary school dance competition, hosted by Natasha Arts, at the Logan Campbell Centre.

Sixteen secondary schools participated. Although the competition was strong, we won the second runner-up trophy. Congratulations to the group for their dedication and hard work. It was an excellent effort.

This year there were 18 members who participated in various activities.

In term one two items were prepared by the group members for the Polynesian Festival.

We are grateful for all the assists and support provided by parents/guardians of the studs We have some exciting social cultural activities planned for and look forward to more pare support next year..

Merry Christmas and Happy Year Lg

Membership is open to any student at the Manurewa High School.

French Department Our Tahitian exchange students, Vairee and Jean-Francois enjoyed their stay with Kyra and Rose, enriching I am sure all of their lives, with Vairee particularly enjoying her first experience of snow. We congratulate Year 12 students Shaun Greaves and Jean Lin who are preparing their Tahiti exchange, six weeks of tropical sun, tepid sea and torrid soirees, with French thoughts crowding their minds on the dawn of the new millenium.

We welcomed Mrs Weatherly to the department this year and look forward to her continued enthusiastic collaboration.

After much angst, the New Caledonia trip did not happen. However, from the barricades a new cry has arisen: Paris 2000. Save your pennies French students, this time there can be no retreat. Come join our Parisian feast of cultural fun and linguistic frivolity and the taste of it will linger on your lips for evermore.

The Bohemian CafĂŠ was scene to three French dinners with the final combined years 9 to 12 group overflowing the restaurant and leaving only the bar available for the teachers who nevertheless were comforted by their proximity to some truly great wines. As snails slithered down tremulous throats, Jean-Jacques and his team catered courageously to the whims and fancies of their genteel and jolly clientele. C'etait magnifique!

UTSUNOMIYA EXCHANGE During 1998 - 1999 Christmas holidays, I was fortunate enough to be involved in the sister cities exchange between Manukau City Council and Utsunomiya City, Japan.

It was the experience of a lifetime that enabled me to expand my knowledge of such a unique culture.

All of my Japanese cultural work throughout the years could not have prepared me for this experience, or for the memories that this country and the people sent with me back to New Zealand. The generosity of my host family to open up their home and their daily lives was overwhelming. My host sister was Mariko Fujita, whom some people might remember from her exchange in New Zealand in earlier 1998.

Schooling was nevertheless challenging, although as the months ticked by, my patience, ability and

understanding was enhanced by their eagerness to teach me their ways.

Some highlights of my trips were: riding to school in minus 100 C, rice paper doors "which rip so easily", delicious food, earthquakes, beautiful ancient temples, and dressing-up in kimono.

The end of my two-month exchange caused my emotions to be mixed. I wanted to see my family and friends in New Zealand, but yet I did not want to leave behind the people and life-style I had become accustomed to over the two months.

I would highly recommend that others should participate in such programmes in the future.

At the Antarctic Exhibition at Kelly Tarlton's - Yuki (in front) with a friend.

At the end of July, six students and two teachers from our sister school, Takasaki Higashi High School, came to New Zealand for a two week tour. After spending the first week in Auckland and Rotorua, they visited Christchurch Boys' High.

On the very first day they arrived at The Manurewa High School, my student, Yuki Koitabashi, told me in English, that she thought that New Zealand was beautiful.

The Japanese students and their hosts thoroughly enjoyed a day trip to places like Kelly Tarlton's (the Antarctic display really was a new experience for them), Devonport and Mt Eden. The Manurewa High School students all found that having the Japanese students stay with them made them "have a good go" with the Japanese they had learned.

It will be great when we meet them again in Japan next April, and renew the friendships.

E.S.O.L. This year has seen an expansion of the number of ethnic groups participating in the ESOL- Asian Club. This diversity has culturally enriched the school. We now have 140 S.E Asian, 77 Indian, 56 Chinese and 18 Middle Eastern students.

It is pleasing that no one group dominates the club, that there is a fellowship and support mechanism that has developed among club members, that has seen pupils new to Manurewa and New Zealand, settle into our country and our school, in less time than a few years ago. One of the major reasons for this is those dub members who have been in New Zealand for some time, 28

giving the new arrivals assistance and support in their struggle to come to terms with a strange language and a strange school environment. The growing sense of responsibility among the senior club members is a very heartening thing to see, and I thank those who have given up some of their time to accept responsibility for their often bewildered fellow club members.

This year the club members were offered, as in past years, a trip to indoor bowling, iceskating, Clevedon horse-riding, Totara Park barbecue. The barbecue was successfully organised by this year's President Muoi Ngo, Vice- President

Sophy Phan, Secretary Vivian Treasurer Jack Huynh Committee Members, espe William Huah, Chan Ouk, Nic and Shin Lowe. So much fur being had that it did not brea until about 6-30, when it was ge dark.

It is also encouraging to see E students diversifying their inter and fields of experience outsid study, in the music, drama and s groups and starting part-time jo the community.

The Club is now 6 years old looks forward to continued sup growth and enthusiasm in 2000.

CELEBRATION OF MATHS WEEK (AUGUST 9th to 13th ) This is the week where schools throughout the country make special efforts to provide exciting and interesting maths activities for their students. Maths Week is a joint initiative of the New Zealand Association of Mathematics Teachers and the Ministry of Education which successfully raises the profile of mathematics amongst students and their local community. The activities of Maths Week reinforce that maths can be interesting and fun and that maths skills are used and needed by everyone in their life.

During Maths Week, the students

were given two questions each day.

One question was a problem to solve and the other an estimation. A music voucher worth $30 was awarded for each question daily. Many thanks to local sponsors for their generosity and congratulations to the winners!

One of the main highlights of the week was our participation in a National project to calculate the circumference of the Earth by measuring the length of the Sun's shadow at midday. Using this information from a number of schools throughout New Zealand and some geometry the required

calculation was made. The results were very close to the true value.

This is based on a method used by the Greek mathematician Eratosthenes over 2000 years ago!

MATHEX COMPETITION Four groups competed at the local Mathex competition at Rosehill College in June, after class run-offs in the school hall_ The two 9SP groups, 10AL and 10ML group faired very well against the local competition, with a very vocal support group of parents, teachers and fellow students encouraging them.

For the second year running, the year nine group ran away with first prize - a splendid achievement.

Well done to all participants and thank you and your parents for your support.

Following this, two groups from 9SPand two from 10AI represented The Manurewa High School , at the Auckland Mathex Competition at the A.S.B Stadium.

Unfortunately, although not as successful, the pupils held their own against tough competition. Well done to all involved.

Also this year, Mrs Thompson organised a bus to take three classes 9JS, 9LD, 9TY to see the Mathex projects at Alexandra Park. The pupils were able to see the high standard of entries, including a number from our school, in all the

varying sections of the display. A number of pupils have been inspired by the variation and presentation and have come away with ideas for next year.

Physical & Personal Developm BOYS RUGBY 1999 The Manurewa High School fielded three boys rugby teams this year in the following grades.

1st XV division one U17 open (although this team was mainly made up of U16 players) U14 open All teams represented the school very proudly both on and off the field. Congratulations to the U17 team for coming third place in your competition.

THE MANUREWA HIGH SCHOOL BOYS 1ST XV RUGBY TEAM CAPTAINS REPORT 1999 has been the comeback year for the Manurewa High School 1st XV rugby team. We won 15 out of 21 games, losing a few games through ill-discipline and wrong options.

Opposing team coaches and spectators acknowledged that our 1st XV had enormous depth and showed a lot of promise.

To begin with, we were placed third in the Coca Cola pre-season rugby tournament behind strong schools Otahuhu and Church Colleges.

Throughout the rest of the season the boys maintained a good winning record, and our "BIG HITS" and "CARVING RUNS" became well known to other teams earning us the respect of such teams as Wesley and Waiuku colleges.

We may have missed out on the finals but a bigger challenge was looming, this was the annual ASB CUP match against James Cook High School. On the line was our school pride and also the fact that we were the reigning ASB CUP holders. With both teams having won one game each against each other earlier this season, this third encounter promised to be even better, and it was with the Rewa boys coming out on top!. There was no doubt that this was our hardest game, which was 30

reflected in the final score of 25 20 to us, sending James Cook feeling home shattered.

So, 1999 was a very successful year for us, and I would like to thank the Lord for blessing us with such talent from players to management. I would like to thank Mr Patten, our manager, Our coaches, Alan and Hosea, and a special thanks to Mrs Evaroa and her girls for the massive feeds.

Also, thanks to the staff and Mr Thompson for their awesome support. Lastly, thanks to the players, boys it was an awesome team this year and thanks for making it a very memorable and successful year!!.

SWIMMING 1999 The 1999 season got away to a strong start at our school swimming sports with record entries, a lot of new and exciting talent competing at the junior level, and old rivals battling it out in the intermediate and senior age groups.

The conditions were kind and many new records were achieved as listed right:

The champions for 1999 were worked out by totaling the best four results for each individual swimmer and are as follows; Junior Girl - Luisa Denton, Junior Boy - Baz Denton, Intermediate Girl - Corrin Harnett, Intermediate Boy - Robert Stephen, Senior Girl - Erin Bowden and Senior Boy - Tim Funaki.

In March we took a large team to compete in the Counties Manukau Championships at Massey Pool, Papakura, competing against swimmers from the other secondary schools in the region. Once again, our team achieved outstanding results and were the most vocal in their support for each other!

Individually placed were: R Stephen, E Bowden, S Duffin, C Wickman, D McKee, L Denton, C Harnett, B Denton, B Molloy, and K Foote and at the end of the meeting our relay teams won the Junior and Intermediate Girls Relays, were placed second in the Junior and Intermediate Boys Relays and third in the Senior Boys relay.

Unfortunately, we were unable to take a team to Palmerston North to compete in the North Island Secondary Schools Camps this year, as there was a clash in timing with the Counties Club champs, but we look forward to being able to compete again next year.

After our success in the Auckland competition last year, we decided to begin earlier in the year to prepare for the hard competition expected by entering in more advanced levels.

In term one we had 25 interested competitors who worked extremely hard to master the more difficult routines required and enlisted the expert help of Miss Paterson, Gemma Moore, an ex student Michael Bishop and Karli Symons.

Our first competition was held at Mt Roskill, Tri Star Club, and consisted of preliminary rounds judged by New Zealand coaches. From this we were able to select our teams of four to enter the finals on another day. The competition was divided into various grades for novice (gymnasts with no formal training) and club (gymnasts who have or still do compete in the New Zealand Gymnastic competitions).

We trained for two hours once a week at school and fortunately were able to secure free use of the Counties Club gymnasium, with its sprung floor and specialist equipment for extra evening practices through the continued support of Michael Bishop.

The final results in the Auckland Artistic Gymnastics Secondary Schools Championships finals were: GEMMA MOORE 2nd Girls Novice A Grade (individual) 32

PAUL HOKKE 3rd Boys B Grade (individual) VUTHEON MOEUN 1st Boys C Grade (individual) RACHEL MOORE, TULA BELL, TRACY FOWLER, MELISSA WALTON 3rd Girls Novice C team MICHAEL SING, BAM DANG, MIKE LIANG, VUTHEON MOEUN 3rd Boys Novice C team After an absence of thirty years, a North Island competition was reinstated and held at ASB Stadium during the school holidays. We took a team of six gymnasts who competed individually in different grades after gaining selection from the Auckland champs. This competition was for Artistic and Rhythmic gymnasts.

Our team excelled!

Karli Symons was placed 1st in the girls Open C (club grade), Gamma Moore gained 2nd in the girls Novice A (by .5 of a mark), Vuthy Moeun won 3rd in boys B Grade, Paul Hokke was 6th in boys B Grade, Vutheon Moeun won 1st in boys C Grade and Erica Third placed 6th in Club A Grade Rhythmic. Erica has competed internationally several times as part of a New Zealand team and it is to be hoped , that with her expertise we can encourage a greater interest in this aspect of the sport.

A separate competition gymnastic tumblers was also he ASB Stadium. Tumbling performed on a sprung floor consists of three or four agi performed consecutively, with tumbler having to complete t more 'runs' depending on the g entered.

The Manurewa Boys C grade won their grade with Mike Liang Bam Dang 2nd , Micheal Sing Vutheon Moeun 3rd= and B Nguyen 5th. Paul Hokke was pl 4th in the boys B Grade,and Ge Moore 5th in the girls Open C. The sport of trampolining also co under the umbrella of Gymnast college sport and our competitor at this years Auckl Secondary Schools event Gemma Rowland who competed the elite grade and was pla second, Gemma has been a N Zealand representative trampoli for several years and has travel overseas to compete and repres our country.

Overall, our gymnasts represer the school with pride and confide and are to be commended on t excellent results. Their commitm to training and great team spirit at events bodes well for success in future.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH'S AWARD This year has been a very busy year for Duke of Edinburgh's Award. We have doubled in size and we now have 54 participants participating in this prestigious international award.

Duke of Edinburgh Award group - they have fun!

Fire Safety Course The students enjoyed several practical exercises including going up in the snorkel (cherry picker); a mock rescue - the students were blindfolded and used their new found skills in searching for victims in a "smoke filled" house; using the breathing apparatus. We also visited the Police Control Tower and Central Fire Station.

Pinnacles Hut Expedition Seventeen students and six teachers ventured uphill to reach the overnight destination of the Pinnacles Hut in the Kaueranga Valley, Thames. This event proved a very worthwhile gauge of exactly how fit we all were! Some of us need to walk uphill more often we decided!

Of course going back downhill also provided some challenges for those of us with bad knees and lack of coordination!

Manurewa Library Service A programme has been set up for Duke of Edinburgh's Award students to entertain primary school students with crafts, games, videos, and other

Ot activities. This fulfils our need for Service Section activities and the Library's need to keep â– y the primary school children who *lip use the library after school entertained constructively and safely.

This service gives our students the opportunity to work with small children.

Volcanic Venture Exploration Silver participants completed an urban exploration of volcanoes in the Auckland city area. We completed the Coast to Coast walkway with the added challenge of torrential rain all day. Takapuna provided a wealth of volcanic places to explore including Lake Pupuke and the volcanic formations from the Rangitoto Island

N 804,

a eruption. The third day found us in Devonport at Mt Victoria where we participated in the Scavenger zE o.

Hunt organised by the local Information Centre (a free chocolate fish to all those who correctly complete the hunt!!). All in all a very active exploration!

o

In addition to the above activities the students have attended expedition training weekends - a prerequisite to going on a practice and assessment tramp. These were run by the Mountain Safety Council for Silver and Gold participants. The Manurewa High School run a Bronze course in the beginning of the year and another one is run by Auckland Institute of Technology at the end of the year.

Ladies, A Plate Please Following in the tradition of the mighty Black Ferns, came The Manurewa High School Women's 1st XV. A new look side took the field this season, with an abundance of first year players and junior students rucking, mauling, dodging and weaving.

This year's success was a combination of enthusiasm and hard work for us. Fuelled on by the Nazi coaching team of Jason (Year 13), Sunia (Year 13) and the "lovely Vaea", our attrition rate was high. Only the strong survived.

Pre-season training started earlier than ever and our fitness paid off during game time. Consequently, injuries were reduced, with only one emergency hospital visit.

(Thanks Carolyn) "The Local" provided us with brand new uniforms, which enabled us to storm into the Counties Manukau competition looking great and taking out the plate division.

Coach Vau and the Girls Rugby Team

Full credit to all of our loyal supporters, the coaches and especially the players. Rugby is a game of two ha hope to see you all back next season to, pick up where we left off.

Tangaroa Tournament This year saw the inaugural rugby tournament between The Manurewa High School and Tangaroa Colic tournament was played post-season and in the spirit of friendly rivalry. Tangaroa visited with their 1st XV Women's team. Both Manurewa teams were defeated, but the tournament was successful in many other wal the magnificent haka at the start to the meal at the end, fun was evident. We look forward to the retur tournament next season.

Under Seventeen Rugby The Under 17 rugby team began the 1999 season on the wrong end of a hiding from a Wesley College team that looked like it belonged in an Under 27 grade.

Undeterred and enthusiastic the boys carried into a season of mixed results but much enjoyment .

Lead by their dedicated captain Taitoa Masina and boasting a squad of up to 30 keen young men the team qualified for the semi final play offs in fourth place. On a day dominated by the weather the boys pulled together to fulfil their true potential. A legendary victory against top qualifying Pukekohe was celebrated in much song and revelry by players and supporters. An unfortunate anti climax was the lack of a final which left our position for the year under debate.

A highlight to the year were the supporters who lined the fields and provided transport unfailingly. The development of players in this year's Under 17 team should bode well for future First Fifteens.

Badminton 1999 It is now near the end of the year and the end of another enjoyable season of badminton.

This year our school entered six teams into the Counties Manukau Secondary School competition; two A Grade boys teams, three A Grade girls teams and a B Grade boys team.

Judging by the records of the past few years, the A Grade girls have maintained the "traditionally" good standard. They were just 'a coin toss' away from winning the first round of New Zealand Secondary Schools competition (According to the analysis of my conspiracy-expert CIA friends, it was a double-sided coin); the A Grade boys this year are kind of a "sorry sight" though. Our top

players are split up by Counties and teamed with other players, dispersing our strength and preventing us from retaining the champion title. However, it did not prevent us from enjoying the games, after all, we have to give other schools a chance!

There are quite a number of new faces in our teams this year (which is good considering most of our top players graduated last year!), most of whom have the potential to become good players. All of us who are graduating this year have high expectations of them as they are the "new generation" of the school badminton team, best of luck to them.

Congratulations also to Cara-lee Moore of 10HY who came second in

New Zealand in her division at the National badminton competition this year.

Since this is my first and last chance to express myself in the year book, I would like to use this opportunity to thank Miss Roxburgh for all the time and energy she put into the team, both the organising and the training.

All the badminton team appreciate what she did for us, and are aware of the burden she carries! I would also like to thank my team for their support and cooperation, which makes my role as captain much easier.

Before I pass my role as captain on, I would like to say to those future players: play hard, but don't forget to play for fun!

1 999 BOYS ROWING TEAM This year the school was represented in rowing by two Year 12 boys, Fraser Marr and Paul Claney, and coached by Mr Patten.

They rowed together as a double scull combination with Paul also racing the single sculls.

The campaign for the Maadi Cup Regatta began in January with the boys enduring many early morning rows and they only got lost once in the fog thanks to the navigation skills of their coach.

Fraser and Paul competed well in the early regattas always being placed in the top three of their races.

Paul also managed to win a couple of his singles races which provided a much needed boost to their build up to the Maadi Cup. At Maadi the competition was tough and both boys had to endure heats and repecharges but unfortunately were unable to make the final. Overall it was a pleasing season and preparation has already begun for the next onslaught.

Boys 1st Xl Soccer Team 1999 The season began with high hopes. Many of last team were years returning, older, wiser and more experienced than 1998, all eager to taste success. The squad of boys worked hard early in the season as they "attempted" to improve their fitness levels and develop a positive style of play. By the time of the first game we were primed, ready for action and the boys didn't disappoint. A 3-1 victory against an aggressive AlMadinah School kick started our season on a positive note (it was also the first time Manurewa FROM LEFT: Odishoo Hido, Mr O'Donnell (Coach) Ramz Halook, Jason Forbes, William Ellis, had won while I refereed!).

The two outstanding players were the captain Dana Hill, who not only was a great leader but she provided stability in defence and Kayla Spyve who provided excellent leadership and skills up front.

A big thank you goes to all the players for their enthusiasm and commitment.

What a drama!

Ngawati whose role as Aroha Mataira was so powerful and so convincing that it brought a tear to a few eyes.

The creative and vibrant personalities of the cast provided entertainment throughout the weeks and weeks of rehearsals, and of course the camp, where the school hall was transformed into the home of the "Pohutukawa Pirates" and a study took place of the Pohutukawa at Mission Bay! The behind the scenes contribution by all staff and students was again valued and appreciated, and Mrs J is now officially costume lady and resident nurse!

The Pohutukawa Tree Bruce Mason's 'The Pohutukawa Tree' was taken out of the English classroom and transformed for the stage for 1999.

Many challenges had to be overcome, firstly entertaining an audience so fond of the MHS Musical, and secondly, performing a text demanding in both the issues it deals with, and the complexity of the characters that convey them.

Many exciting activities have taken place behind the black curtains of V6, with a "Dreams and Nightmares" performance to Year 9, trips to musicals at Onehunga High School, and a first class performance at Howick College with "Judas Zoo" that amazed and inspired all who attended.

Our own drama production of "The Pohutukawa Tree" also contained many faces from 12 Drama in lead roles and in the movement scene.

Concert Band and Choir Trip to North America

On Monday 28th June, after more than a year of fundraising, practising, and playing, the Concert Band, Choir and teachers set forth on their 17 day tour of Canada and the United States.

The tour started in Edmonton where we stayed at the University of Alberta. From there we moved onto Grande Prairie where the very hospitable, Grande Prairie Marching Band warmly welcomed us. This part of our tour included a memorable march in the Canada Day Parade, a forgettable concert at the freezing Beaver Lodge (aka Critter Creek), and a day where we roughed it with the ferocious looking (but tender tasting) Canadian bison.

From Grande Prairie we moved back to the University. The highlight for most of us in Edmonton was visiting West Edmonton Mall. The largest mall in the world, complete with water slides, an amusement park, bungy jump, ice skating rink and a mere few hundred shops. Several students spent in excess of NZ$500, not fully appreciating the capacity of their suitcases at the time.

On route to Calgary we were

privileged to travel through the notorious Badlands, and Drumhella, to see the famous prehistoric, Royal Tyrell Museum. We arrived in Calgary to meet our homestays and the next day we were "on the road again" for a day trip through the Canadian Rockies to see the spectacular Lake Louise and do some sweet shopping in the little town of Banff.

enjoyed the rest of the day at the Saddledome where the Calgary Stampede came to life.

One of the main reasons for the tour was to perform at the prestigious opening march of the annual Calgary Stampede. The students had practised for months with Mr. Wilson at the helm. Mr. Weeks' motivational speech before the march included these words of wisdom, "Now, students, if someone in front of you faints, don't stop to help, walk around them. And if you collapse, make sure you don't damage the instruments or you will feel pain!" In front of 250,000 people, in sweltering conditions The Manurewa Concert Band and Choir marched for over an hour and a half with instruments in hand and did the school and the country proud by taking second place in their category. The tour members then

The final day included a visit to Universal Studios, where the tour party was treated to an all day funfest of rides, thrills, spills and splashes.

From E.T. to The Terminator, through Backdraft and the Jurassic Park adventure ride, everyone had a fantastic finale to the tour.

The final leg of the tour was a twoday stopover in Los Angeles. The school was invited to play their last performance in Disneyland. Once again the band and choir showed in front of an international audience that they truly are of a world class standard.

A sincere thank you to Mrs. Dixon, the tour director. Only through her dedication, planning, organising, patience and leadership did the fiftyfive tour members have an experience they will never forget. A tour they will always remember as the time of their life.

Immaculate Concerto - The Millennium Concert Band.

Another victory for Mr Weeks. This year for the concert band has been, well, immaculate. The highlight of the year was the eagerly anticipated realised dream of the North American tour. We produced beautiful sound, and award winning performances. It just keeps getting better.

This year the Band participated in the National Band Festival in Napier and was awarded yet another Gold and Silver award. Once again we took part in the Auckland Secondary Schools Band and Orchestra Festival, here receiving a Gold award and a mark of 49 of 50 and the placing of Most Outstanding Performance (which was salt in the wound to Auckland Boys Grammar. Tee hee).

Our flute player, Kerrin Osborne, received a silver award for her solo performance.

Our brand spanking new Junior Concert Band made their debut at the Auckland Festival, and did exceptionally well for a first time performance.

As well as all of this, another band, The Manurewa Wind Orchestra was formed, combining members and ex members of the school concert band and professional players from Dalewool (Mr Weeks' award winning brass band). This band also won two gold awards.

A memorable moment in every concert was our very own "Sugar Plum Fairies" - aka Alex Carter and Lou Reddy. Their shameless performances entertained audiences all over the world.

the course of trips and over adventures. Everyone is dedica works together and takes prid their achievements.

On a sadder note, farewell and g luck to Kerrin Osborne, Lo Kennedy, Brett Bailey, Phillip Bax Hosanna Leituala, Tracey Voisey, Marshall, Keryn Slade, Alex Ca and Lisa Guttenbeil.

As the new millennium approa we can only wonder what gl await The Manurewa High Sc Concert Band.

CHOIR ................

CHOIR ................

Choir practice today....... Which choir? ...... Festival choir, Girl's choir, Tour choir? It was rather confusing at the beginning of the year but most of us finally managed to sort it out.

'Minoi Minoi,' and 'Jubilate' - were pretty good but was the competition tough! We were not selected for the N.Z. Finale but have great plans for 2000!

Girl's Choir was underway very quickly in February, because we were booked for our first public performance at a Luncheon for the Manurewa Ladies' Probus Club. We learned our three songs well and took Sharon and Nancy as instrumental soloists so the ladies enjoyed a varied programme.

We enjoyed singing in the Cathedral later in the year, at a Charity Concert.

The Girls' Choir also sang in the festival - the first time our school has had two entries. They also sang well and Lisa Guttenbeil was great as accompanist - despite feeling very nervous.

The large Festival Choir worked hard leading up to the Auckland Secondary Schools' Choral Festival at the Town Hall in June. We thought our songs - 'Consider Yourself,'

Tour Choir was something else!

Fifteen enthusiastic (insane?) singers prepared to sing in four parts, in between Concert Band and solo items, on a tour of Alberta - Canada

- and Los Angeles. After ext rehearsals and many fundrai performances we became a g team - on and off stage. On tour carried the marching banner water bottles, swung pois organised waistcoats, as well learning and singing all our m from memory. It was a fantastic one of the highlights be' performing at Disneyland, where, Mr. Weeks' words ,we sang 'out our skins.'

Art & Photography Art Exhibition 1999 This year the Art Exhibition was an unprecedented success.

Sales exceeded all expectations as the total Art Works sold reached the$1000 mark.

Again all the profits of the Art Works went to the students who exhibited.

The exhibition was opened formally by our Art Mentor, renowned New Zealand artist, Richard McWhannell, and we enjoyed light refreshments and outstanding Art Works.

It was gratifying seeing the attendance numbers of the general public double. This was due to the wonderful coverage given to us by to local newspapers. My thanks again to all those who exhibited and to all those who supported this event.

The Cultural Council 1999 A thoroughly professional group of people has provided front-of-house for school services productions during the year.

They remained cool, calm collected under and pressure, smoothly dealing with eager audiences clamouring to be seated.

Impressive sales techniques were demonstrated during the intermission rush for refreshments and skilfully managed to assist awkward customers. Their grooming was impeccable, and as a group, they showed mature organisational and people skills.

Congratulations on a job well done.

ART HISTORY / CLASSICS CAMP 1999 (Inscribed upon this parchment by Kyle McFarlane, autobiographer of the Kings)

"AVE, IMPERATOR! MORITURI TE SALUTANTE!" This was the cry of the misaligned contingent of students, teachers and myself, your friendly neighbourhood scribe, all of whom braved cockroaches, broken bones, and Jamie in the attempt to learn something more of the sensibilities and to brush aside the mists of time.

Unfortunately, all we had were a few small bits of wire procured from the clay-fiddling exercise to brush these mists apart. Needless to say, there were a large number of highly confused students trying to make sense of the intense plethora of artistic and architectural information shot, ballista-like, in our general direction, by the highly developed intellects of Messrs Lees and Kilgour,

and the lovely Mrs Snedden. From my bed on the hall floor, I was privy to all sorts of midnight hijinks, including many unpleasant disturbances to MY SLEEP (Note to all Year 2000 Classics / Art History students: if you make as much noise as my contemporaries did this year, I am liable to make you do a Socrates impression, and slip some hemlock into the teapot. Revenge at last..)! Some lived frugally, whereas others lived in Neronian indulgence, and had televisions, playstations, stereos, deck chairs, potato crisps and soft drinks.

There was, however, no proper food wasted, due mainly to Mark the human garbage disposal, who consumed huge bowls of baked cream, beans, spaghetti, and assorted unidentifiable delicacies.

it must be stated that we did leave Waharau with considerably more Classical knowledge than when we arrived. Due to the skills of Mr Petersen and Mrs Gordon, we gained hands-on inter-curricular experience in the creation of pots and Roman arches, as well as experience in drawing techniques.

We learnt a copious quantity of information on art periods, from Greco-Roman through to Renaissance art, which gave us increased scope for understanding in our respective subjects.

Many thanks must go to the Board for allowing us to go on this trip, and to Mr Kilgour for organising the camp. With any luck, next year's camp will give us even more learning and education (insert random snickering here).

All in all, however,

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM (A Kyle McFarlane Production.

Coming to you in KyleVision(c).

Stereo in selected theatres.)

"STAND ASIDE! I take big steps!"

After an exhausting term, the students and teachers of The Manurewa High School decided to enhance their cultural knowledge of musical comedy by attending 'A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum', at the St James Theatre. 'Tragedy Tomorrow,

Comedy Tonight' was their call - and comedy it was. As well as providing a refreshing break from their nightly study (ha! ha! ha!), it gave the students a more rounded definition of the Roman social existence and moved them away from straight textbook learning. They also learned of the more... interesting segments of Roman life, such as the highquality brothel, the 'house of Marcus Lycus', in which resides the virginal sweetheart of a young nobleman,

whose slave promises to get her for him. Through an intricate system of lying, deceit and bawdy humour, he gets the girl, the slave gets his freedom, and the crazy old man who was the virgin's father didn't have a coronary from walking seven times around the seven hills of Rome! All in all, one of the funniest and most enlightening experiences given to the students this year.

Social Sciences CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP 1999 started off with planning for the Easter Assemblies. This time we chose to dramatise and "humour up" the actual story of Jesus' last days on earth. The Last Supper turned into something of a "bun fight", Peter got "an accent like an Australian", and an unforgettable moment was when Peter (Luke) cut a large plastic ear off the servant of the High Priest (Stacey), and it clattered onto the stage. Damian did a great job as

Jesus, and Justus as a Roman soldier.

The rest of the year saw a variety of Friday meetings, taken mostly by members of the group who showed a lot of talent in coming up with ideas and presenting them.

We were thrilled when the school got a chaplain, Mrs Susan Miller, to help out in the guidance area.

HISTORY TRIPS New Zealanders often think of history as something that happens somewhere else (like Europe), but there is a lot to see around Auckland that helps make our own history alive. Social studies classes this year have all done trips that focus on aspects of Auckland's early history, and the years 11, 12 and 13 history classes have all left the classroom to enhance their learning by a see and touch approach..

In February it was time to visit "Scars on the Heart" at the Auckland

Museum where we saw mementoes and "touch screen" exhibits of the New Zealand Wars (Year 13), World War I (Year 12) and World War II and the years of the Cold War (Year 11).

In March the two Year 11 classes took off for the Devonport Naval Base, North Head and Bastion Point, where we saw sites and exhibits illustrating New Zealand's Search for Security. The highlight was a tour of the frigate Canterbury (now on duty off East Timor). At North Head we were able to see the remains of posts used to anchor the boom stretched across the harbour to Bastion Point during World War II.

MODEL UNITED NATIONS ASSEMBLY 1999 Chronicled by the Grand High Russian Ambassador, Kyle "Ivan the Terrible" McFarlane "DOBRE UKTA (Haves a nice duck)" RUSSIAN DELEGATION: Kathryn Willoughby, Jennie Ozumba, Kyle McFarlane

In a misguided attempt to inform students about the workings of the United Nations, three senior students set out to Auckland Girls Grammar School to represent The Motherland, the Federation of Russia. Kathryn, Jennie and my good self traveled into town via the train, a system which is almost as poor as the Siberian Express. By the time we arrived, signed in, had our pictures taken, and found a power point for our laptop, we had to sit down and listen to the Acting SecretaryGeneral, Jonathon Hunt MR.

As Russia, we were members of the Security Council- the supreme body of the UN. This meant that we had the power of veto, which allowed us to stop any remits from being passed to the General Assembly. One of the remits stated that "The power of veto be abolished". After this remit, in which we, Britain, France, USA and China spoke together, and in which we had an astounding loss, the five

members announced their resignation from the UN, to raucous applause. We were, however, invited back to participate in the final remits (and afternoon tea).

All in all, we learnt a lot, had a lot of fun, and discovered how the United Nations worked. It was a valuable learning experience, and, best of all, got us out of class!

Prior to the event, we were given a number of remits to debate, for example, 'That Slobodan Milosevic be tried as a war criminal", and "That Third World debt be wiped". We composed speeches, gave them, and voted on the remits. Through an intricate web of notes, we made alliances, enemies, and deals for swapping vodka, weapons and cocaine.

Year 12 Geography - Waharau Honestly, it has been an awesome year. Just where we got these students from I don't know, but to take 83 strong and well, you know, mature Year 12 students along on a three day camp and experience - like - no problems? Where are we?

Somehow the teachers thought they had woken up in some magical kingdom where there are only perfect princes and princesses...!

Honest! Miss Cox, Mrs Dobric, Mr Van Kralingen and Miss Briggs all thought that we were away with the fairies and the pixies. Not exactly, we were away with 83 wonderful human beings who deserve the most credit for being cool people to go on camp with. All of them! Honest!

Mostly we enjoyed the night walks and the possum pi..; no, someone did think it was a bit of rain. But it was so dark it was like being inside a cow. Sorry Miss Cox, you know we don't mean any offence, but it was really dark. I can't imagine why they screamed going across the tiny bridges, can you?

By the way, what IS wrong with free time at 5.30 in the morning anyway?

We did say you'd have some, after all. We won't talk about Dana living in the stream or the two Micks wanting to know where IT was. IN THE BUSH we told them. Who would build one this far away from everything?

It really was a great trip, and everyone really improved in their

Geography - Tongariro It was wonderful to be going this year, with an enthusiastic bunch who didn't mind that there wasn't all that much snow. We walked carefully up to the first chair-lift, and threw heaps of snow-balls just to say we'd done it. Mrs Jansen had plenty of practice at this in her North American past, so definitely was a person to steer clear of! The best part of the trip was reaching the Taranaki Falls. It was such an overcast, misty day that we started to feel we were in a parallel universe that just happened to look like the Tongariro National Park. It kept going and going, and there were few reference points to tell us we were getting closer; so the arrival was very, very welcome. Some budding trampers emerged from the group, and several who met challenges had our undying admiration. Awesome. And the vegetation / altitude relationship really makes sense when you see it and experience it.

Also evident were the entertainers.

We really couldn't choose for Anna it just wasn't easy to make that sort of decision! All those blokes in the blind dating game were just a bit INTERESTING, weren't they! Such talent. Group effort got a big tick with the big presentation too. A very pleasant trip with a great bunch of students. Thanks to Mr and Mrs Dobric, Miss Cox, Mrs Jansen, Mrs Hart and our student teacher Miss Spice.

Staff Information Technology Professional Developmen The Manurewa High School applied for and won a contract worth $12,000 from the government to provide Information Technology Professional Development (ITPD) to all staff for 1999. The school has made available Information and Communication Technology (ICT) support for all teachers since 1988, assisting each to develop their ICT capabilities and their abilities to incorporate ICT confidently into their classroom programmes. This has been done by providing release time for the ICT Facilitator/ zCoordinator to support and train staff.

The 1998 evaluation of teaching staff capability found that over 80% had access to computers at home. All use a word processor to prepare work. All have used ITC in some area of their curriculum.

The 1999 ITPD has concentrated on four aspects of ICT support 1. Seven "ICT lead teachers" were selected, one from each the 7 curriculum areas. Each was 60

provided extra training either in house or provision of funding for outside courses/seminars. These teachers are the first line of staff support for curriculum specific areas helping to incorporate ICT into subject schemes and advance integrated ICT teaching and learning.

2 Publication of staff self-evaluation workbook to direct personal development of all staff.

It contains personal progress sheets to track progress, notes to explain each area and direct training, course notes where needed to extend information literacy of all staff in a wide range of areas.

These included use of network and class management, use of applications for administration and teaching.
