The Manurewa High School
Message from the Principal Year 2000 has been a significant year of change at The Manurewa High School. The new education reforms, the need for planning and development, and the Education Review Office Accountability Review. Educational reform required our school to devise a new enrolment scheme with a clearly defined home zone with automatic right of entry for students and a balloting process for students applying outside the zone. Throughout the year the Board of Trustees had the task of planning and developing four very important areas for the future development of the school. A 10 year Property Plan, a Strategic Plan, Information Communication Technology Development Plan and a revised and modernised School Charter. Planning for next year includes the building of two new Science laboratories, extensions to the gymnasium facilities and the building of a new 10 room Technology block. Also planned is a full computerised network within the school to access information from an extensive Intranet database with links to the Internet. Information Communication Technology will be used to improve learning and outcomes for all students. This new development has been the result of my visit, and consequently three staff members visiting leading "navigator" schools in Victoria, Australia. Early in term three the school underwent an accountability review from the Education Review Office. The report found that "The Manurewa High School students achieved well in many areas, and there is a strong academic record. Students were confident and enthusiastic about their school". Some areas of concerns were highlighted, but the Board of Trustees and myself have addressed these. A special feature this year was the number of successful overseas tours which included: the annual tour to our sister school, Takasaki Higashi High School in Japan, the Concert
Band tour to Australia including their participation in the Olympic Torch parade in Melbourne, the Cook Island group to the Cook Islands and French students to Paris in France. My thanks to all staff who organised, led and participated in these tours. Our students continued to achieve in all areas with academic results remaining at a high level. For example in the Bursary examinations last year 16 scholarship passes were gained and one student, Allan Lee, gained a top scholar award for New Zealand. The Scholarship Academy was formed this year to assist students in gaining scholarship passes. Students gained outstanding pass rates in the Australian competitions Science, Chemistry, Mathematics and English. Many students gained High Distinctions placing them in the top 1% in Australasia. Mark Young, a year 13 student, was placed in the top 15 of 1500 students throughout New Zealand who competed in the very prestigious Eton Press Mathematics examination. In the Ilford Shield photographic competition Maya Naskovska and Kirsten Forrest gained Honours Certificates out of a total of nine awarded throughout New Zealand Science continued to excel and this year was given a special award in recognition of it being judged the best faculty in any New Zealand. secondary school for two years. Students also achieved well at the Manukau Science & Technology Fair and gained many Silver Crest awards. Cultural excellence continued. A special award was presented to the Concert Band in recognition of winning the Most Outstanding Performance Award at the Auckland Secondary Schools Concert Bands & Festival Bands competition for three years in a row. The Cook Island group gained second place at the ASB Maori & Polynesian Festival as well as many other trophies for excellence. The Music Hall production held this year produced an array of talent and was an
outstanding success. There was a dramatic increase in the number of sports teams this year as a result of the appointment of Mrs Evaroa, Sports Co-ordinator and the willingness of more staff to become involved. Teams which won the Counties Manukau competitions were: Girls' Badminton team who qualified to compete at the National competition where they were placed 4th; U16 and U14 Girls' Basketball teams, Year 9A Netball team, 1st XI and Junior Boys' Soccer teams. Louise Jones won the U18 NZ Junior Girls 400m title in the fastest time ever for a girl of 14. She was also placed 3rd in the Junior Girls 400m at the Pan Pacific Games in Australia. During the weekend of 10-12 November a very successful 40th Reunion was held. Many past pupils attended and enjoyed the occasion. My thanks to Mrs Dixon, Second Principal and her Assistant Mrs McGavin for organising this weekend. My thanks also to the many support groups associated with the school especially the Prefects ably led by Barbara Ngawati and Ben Wilson. My thanks also to the Board of Trustees, the Parent Teacher Association and the Maori parents whanau support group. Finally, a huge thank you to the most important people - the students of our school who continue to excel and bring prestige to our school. Best wishes to all senior students who are leaving us this year. K G Thomson

PROXIME ACCESSIT
Mark Young (Marcus Youngus Excellentas)
Kyle Mc Farlane (Umbrellas X -Fileas Mu!dress)
Dux of the School for the year 2000 A.D. Mark is a seemingly shy, indifferent individual who has achieved the highest honour of academia. Arriving in year 11 he was placed in the advanced maths class. The students of this class felt that he had been misplaced, commenting "why do we have a third former in our class?" Mark soon made his presence felt. Travelling to Canada as part of the School Band he was immortalised in film as the only person to sleep with one-eye open. On camp whilst in year 12 he managed to eat his way through what could be described as an average household's food budget in one sitting. In year 13 he made his way down to Christchurch on a maths competition, complaining as usual about the lack of food on the flight. 'Mark is admired by his peers for his abilities and his willingness to provide free tutorials.' His great love If only they could marry) is his computer Maximus. Prefect, Dux, Scholar, Musician, Friend of many, A person of Olympic Stature. We wish him well for the future.
To be or not to be! Our Approxime Accessit has certainly left his impact on The Manurewa High School. An actor par excellence, Kyle has performed his way from year 9 to year 13. With rolled umbrella he has worked over this "mortal earth allowing us mere Plebians to gaze at his Socratic stance. Comedian, Poet, Satirist and Tragic Hero, the consummate actor, Kyle has set his goals high and has achieved them. Many students admire him for his wit an care of others. He is the Toastmaster at all public functions. If there is an earthquake rely on Kyle with his big yellow flag. Civil Defence expert and President of Amnest International, future Politician of the Conservative stance' A devotee of Hogsnort Rupert band (who are they?) Exam will never be the same without our hero bringing a pictur of his favourite muse and a cup full of pens. His future promising and we all look forward to what he will achieve next.

THE `Y2K' PREFECTS by Kyle McFarlane, Toastmaster General
"The Y2K Prefects will come together as friends to make this school Da Bomb': Direction, Attitute, Behaviour, Organisation, Motivation, Best of the Best!" (Prefects' Mission Statement, 2000) Well. 2000. Prefects. Called to Mr Thomson's office one sunny Friday afternoon, paraded in front of the assemblies on Monday, setting off on camp a few weeks later, where, under the guidance of Mrs "Boss" Impey, Mr Hornblow, and Mr Smith, we bonded, learnt all manner of leadership skills, learnt how to deal with problems, communicate, and untangle approximately 45,798 human knots. Highlights included the white-water rafting journey, the thrill of going to Pak 'n' Save (woo hoo!), our dinner at a local hotel, the numerous water fights held in the pool, and, of course, the visit to SHEEP WORLD! Thanks must also be given to our mascots: Gary 1 and Gary 2 (the hotel cats), Fred the Worm, and Cow; and we must mention our theme songs: "Hit Me
Impey One More Time", and Whistlin' Jack Smith's ''Kaiser Bill's Batman". It was here that the first germs of an idea for our production were formed. After several months of intense preparation (okay, we did it in three days), we showed the students that we are capable of human emotions. The audience response to our assembly was enormous; everyone loved seeing their favourite wrestlers Triple H and the Rock, and we were all rather worried about the frighteningly good female impersonator that was our Head Boy. The other major event of the year was, of course, the Prefects' Ball. Held at the Ellerslie Convention Centre, we chose the theme of Celestial Harmony; this year, in order to keep costs to a minimum, we held a contest in which students could
design a ticket. Music and decorations were soon decided upon, although there were certain... objections to some of the 'music' (read: noise) which was chosen. Came the night, and all was well unless you consider that the photographer left early. And the DJ didn't play any of the songs which he should have The Prefects of 2000 came together well; we started off well and managed to continue things throughout the year. To my fellow 'Fects: I'm privileged to have worked with each and every one of you this year; and I consider you all to be good friends. Goodbye, and good luck. And remember: we ARE da bomb!

Youth Parliament 2000 From our representative, Barbara Ngawati On August 28 , I was given the opportunity to represent the honorable George Hawkins (Minister of Police and our local Member of Parliament) at Youth Parliament 2000 in Wellington. This event is held every three years and is a chance for New Zealand youth to voice their opinions of the country's current youth affairs. This year 120 Youth M.P.s voted to debate the controversial legislation "Decriminalisation of Marijuana". I was against the decriminalisation of the drug because of my own personal experience. I have seen friends disrespect the drug, disrespect themselves and toss their lives down the drain because of drug abuse. I also talked to another two young males from neighbouring schools, Ngatapuwai and James Cook who also had had the same experience with friends and who felt decriminalisation would only condone and encourage drug use. We all felt that if the drug was decriminalised it would only cause more health problems, for example, bronchitis, cancer of the lung, mouth or throat and something not everyone knows about, loss of sexual desire. Obviously, there were many arguments for and against the decriminalisation of the drug and honestly I found it quite entertaining watching debaters go bright red with a build up of their frustrations. It was inevitably a heated debate. After hours of argument the Youth Parliament 2000 finally cast their vote. Seventy-nine voted against the decriminalisation, thirty-six voted for it and five abstained, which meant they didn't vote at all. Although the majority voted against decriminalisation, we all recognised that the current law needed amendment. Instead of an automatic conviction for possession of marijuana, it was felt that first and second offences should be fines. A
Barbara Ngawati in Parliament! third offence meant the offender should receive a criminal record. Youth generally do not understand the consequences of a criminal record and many therefore believe smoking marijuana cannot affect their lives long term. But they are wrong. You cannot get a job with a conviction, and you cannot get into the United States with a conviction. So, although we voted against the decriminalisation, we did present to the Speaker the idea that the current laws need to be changed for the sake of our young people's future. Why should a mistake made when you are young affect you forever. We also debated many other topics such as youth suicide, student loans 12
and free tertiary educatior contraception in schools and th decriminalisation of gay marriage and prostitution. Overall th experience was enlighteninc invigorating and intimidating; but am glad that I did it. It was a goo learning experience for me cultural I can tell you now, I never want to b a politician...too much work and to much media...the photographers an everywhere. If anyone wants to talk to me abou my experience, please do no hesitate to ask!

MUSIC HALL 2000: Thoughts of a Grumpy Old Man Written by Kyle ''Fred the Grumpy Old Guy" McFarlane
FRED A review? Review that rubbish? By all means I'll write a review. That was the most completely nauseating, disgusting, unprofessional, idiotic, childish, noisy, unpleasant and offensive pile of horseDORIS [cutting him off] Please, boys and girls don't listen to that boring old git. The show was wonderful, and I know that I've never had more fun in my life. Being married to Fred, the closest thing I get to fun is when he forgets to take his medication and passes out. Then I can get some peace and quiet. Well, ladies and gentlemen, first up, allow me to allay your fears - I'm not as cruel and heartless as Fred is usually. With this year's school production, our glorious leaders, Miss Thomas and Mr Weeks, decided to go for something a little different. Rather than performing a musical play, they pulled all of the best parts out of various musicals Cats, Les Miserables, The Sound of Music, and more - and carefully crafted them together into an absolute showtime spectacular! Brooke (who played the ever-tolerant Doris) and I probably had the best parts in the show -we sat in our little box on the side of the stage, made the occasional snide comment, got out of class, and avoided the legendary wrath of Der Fuhrer, Herr Adolf Weeks. We were also privileged in that we were able to see the entire show - in various stages of undress and completion - approximately ten times, for free! In retrospect, I suppose that's the reason that I was asked to write this piece. The 'off' moments of "Music Hall 2000' were very few and very far between, and I must admit to feeling rather sorry that I couldn't openly congratulate the rest of the cast for their hours upon hours of hard work, training, rehearsing and repeating. But one must remain in character! The show began each night with a rousing extract from "Oliver"; the
musical based on Dickens' famous novel "Oliver Twist". Kim-Marie was an absolute doll in "Oompapa", and I suspect that Martina received a fair few wolf-whistles from the audience, as well as the cast! Tane, whom I must chastise for being such a poor example (given the high youth crime statistics) to youngsters, turned in a first-class performance as Fagan. Young Kevin epitomised Oliver, and entranced us all with his incredible voice performing "Where Is Love?" The choir next regaled us with "Consider Yourself", and then the cast returned, for "Be Back Soon". At this point, I'd like to publicly apologise for hitting Tony, the pickpocket who stole my wallet, quite so hard, and would like to ask for my Visa card back! The talented (but disturbed) David Von Jargon next regaled us with a Hungarian dance tune called "Hungarian Dance" (yes Asher, I know that's your line). This was followed up by the ever-talented Barbara Ngawati in her guise as Evita, giving us a spine-shivering rendition of "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina". Erika-Sue Rogers, who pulled our heartstrings all the way to Texas with "Seven Spanish Angels", followed next with her faithful guitarist Ritchie. Josh and Ritchie subsequently abducted the show (I hope you two weren't too rough with Asher!) and blew the cobwebs out with the Blues Brothers' tune, "Shake A Tail Feather". This was followed by the endless talent of Madonna Dasler singing "Climb Ev'ry Mountain", a group of gorgeous singing nuns who absolutely aced the last notes of "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria" each and every night - and Tracy and Ritchie in "Sixteen Going On Seventeen". The rousing "I Will Follow Him" gave us a pleasant end to the first Act, with Barbara really showing us what she was made of! The second act kicked off with a selection from the Muppet Show, and "Kermy Kevin" had the audience roaring with laughter at his spot-on Kermit impression. The Muppet puppets were also a huge success especially with Miss T, whom I suspect stayed behind after the show each night to play with them! 17
We were next regaled with another soulful song from our Head Girl, this time the feline "Memory". The 2nd item came from James Hinton, who gave us "Love's Old Sweet Song" on the euphonium. The Dance Group then gave us a medley of "prostateexploding" numbers which fair entertained us all! Sharon Baylis then played "Silver Bells of Memory" on the violin - a spine-tingling, sad tune that had the orchestra - and the cast! - sobbing their eyes out! Ben Singsam started the "Les Miserables" selection off with 'Do You Hear The People Sing?" and was followed by the sweet and tender voices of Natalie Surynt and Sarah Evans singing respectively "Castle On A Cloud" and "I Dreamed A Dream". The penultimate item of the evening was the sing-a-long, in which the... diverse talent of the audience was presented to us. What intrigued me was that, despite the somewhat... original style of singing, the audience successively scored higher ratings from "Mix Maestro Glinduin" than the cast did in rehearsal! The finale, "New York, New York" was a fitting and enjoyable end to a wonderful evening, and allowed Brooke and I to get out of those mighty comfortable, soft padded chairs that we had occupied all night! One must, in a review of this production, mention the MC, Asher, who was known variously as "Lord Maxwell Smarty III" and "Sir Nigel Need-a-leek" (a tribute to our lovably Welsh Mr Weeks). He pulled the show together, made fun of Fred, and had the audience rolling in the aisles with his raptor impression! This review cannot begin to explain the boundless talent of this year's cast, nor the immense effort put in by every member of cast and crew, who are too numerous to mention here. Well done, guys and gals - I'm glad I worked with you, and am sorry that, despite the fact that this is my last year at TMHS, this is the first production I've taken part in. Thank you all again - you did a grand job. (Oh, and by the way, thanks to the sound and lighting crews. Stu was most upset that they weren't mentioned at the end of closing night, so here you go. Happy now?)

The concert Band Destination Australia As the warm air slammed into our faces, we were lugging heavy instruments and luggage into our humble abode - The Oxford Koala Hotel, Sydney. Whilst there we visited the Sydney Opera House, performed at The Rocks' and attended an awesome workshop with the R.A.A.F Band (professionals) which was great for us all. This rehearsal, along with our two hour practice sessions every evening in Sydney, brought the band's playing up to a very high standard. We also performed at Fox Studios enjoying some free time there as well. Mr. Thomson joined us on the 'Titanic'- deadly simulation! That was a great day out. The climax of our Sydney stay came when we played in the prestigious top grade of the New South Wales Concert Band Festival. Receiving a silver award was very exciting and made us realise what all the hard work was for.
As soon as we finished playing however we were on bus heading for Melbourne - a 12 hour all night jou Everyone felt wacked after that. It didn't help that 3 us, including Mrs.Smith, had to spend the next night what had once been a nunnery. Mr Weeks goes Kung-Fu crazy!

Sydney 2000 Band Manurewa High School Music Teacher and Assistant Dean, Daniel Wilson, was invited by the Brass Band Association of New Zealand to fulfil an invitation to be part of an "international band" for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The six New Zealand players invited formed part of an international marching band that took part in the opening ceremony and parade of athletes on 15 September at Stadium Australia.
High School Board of Trustees who granted Mr Wilson time off work to attend this prestigious event. The Sydney Olympic Committee hosted the members for the whole time in Sydney, with 2 weeks of rehearsal from 31 August, Mr Wilson and the other band members needed to learn, from memory, 25 marches and National tunes for the event. The marching style was somewhat different from that of Mr Wilson's own band, Dalewool Auckland Brass, so a major challenge for the New Zealand group was to learn how to march in the "American College Band" style.
To be able to take part in these events Mr Wilson was fortunate enough to have support from many groups. These included the Lions Club, who donated travelling expenses, and The Manurewa

CLASSICAL STUDIES / HISTORY OF ART CAMP 2000 Translated from the original gibberish by Kyle McFarlane, scribe, poet, satirist, historian, statesman, and all around good guy "How shall we educate them, then? Or is it hard to improve upon the educational system which has evolved over a long period of time?" - Plato, Republic, 376e Well, my plebian friends, once again I put electronic quill to cyber-parchment, and regale you with the tale of our journey to the great city of Waharau: the Forum Gravelarium; the Temple of the Divine Stomach; the tenement blocks in which the Lepidarian students slept, whilst we intelligent folks (i.e., Marcus Parvus and myself) slept upon the floor of the hall. Thankfully, I did not need to carry out my threat from last year's yearbook article, and no-one was forced to drink a nice brew of hemlock. This year's camp, along with being the largest yet, also was the most technologically advanced - and I don't just mean the video game consoles. We had great lengths of extension cord around the place, a digital projector, two laptops, and a cartridge in a COM port. Several seminars were presented to the assembled multitudes - one by myself, and one by Mark and young Amy, who rather tended to put their feet where their mouths are. But I digress. Once again, Mr Kilgour and Mr Lees did a wonderful job of organisation; of much use to us all were Mr Petersen, Mrs Gordon, Miss Haugh, Mrs Snedden, and Mrs Kilgour, in that they taught us all mariner of intriguing art ideas, and other such captivating cross-curricular activities. A constant stream of activities, exercises, research tasks and classifications were hurled upon us by teachers who made even Caligula, Nero, Commodus and Elagabalus look like nice chaps, and certainly kept us on our toes and pens, whilst the stream of tasty morsels from the kitchen kept us well-fed. Our costume dinner was, as always, a good laugh - all were required to act in the form of a Greek / Roman god or Emperor, and choose a date (or three - Newman and his harem...). Following the well-toga-ed action, we received Mark and Amy's seminar on the colossal Villa Hadriani, during which, our venerated leader Pumpy managed to demolish Matthew's deck chair - for we seventh-formers, it was a touch of deja-vu from last year, when he did much the same with Deck Chair Mk I. The disco - in which disco lights were provided courtesy of Mark's laptop screensaver - was a rollicking good bit of fun, with breakdancing, 'hip hop', and all manner of craziness ensuing. As the organisers refused to play Bob Dylan, I sat outside and listened to it by myself, so I can't give you a firsthand account of it. But I'm told that it was fun. In summation: we learned a lot; we had fun; we bonded; we shared ideas; we puzzled out the intricacies of Roman and Greek society; we mocked Jordan. All in all, just what our ancient Roman friends would have loved. 21

Science Fair - Prizegiving convenor M. Makin, MC Dr Gillian Lewis
Wool - not something that many of us think about during the course of the year or would be interested in knowing about, but as Science fair looms suddenly we are receptive to any insight or information that comes our way. Miss Makin handed me an article on this topic that began my Science fair investigation.
this information and a few calculations, percentage reduction could be calculated (i.e. amount of ions that were removed from the solution and absorbed by the wool). I would then be able to compare the percentage reductions for each type of wool. While being sound in theory, once the tests were actually being conducted I found it very hard to keep the wool still instead it fell into the solution. About 3 hours later I finally came up with the idea to design a smaller more compact filter and have a larger mass of wool firmly held in there genius I know. My results proved my aim to be correct - effective absorption does depend on the type of wool that is used.. Coarse short crimp wool proved to be the most effective absorber creating a pattern that left fine wool being the least effective. My project was then selected to represent the school at the Regional
My aim was to investigate and prove whether wool is a good filter for heavy metals as well as to see what properties of wool - crimp and fibre diameter make it the best for heavy metal absorption. My first real obstacle was to find different types of wool. After countless ringing and running I obtained 3 types of wool each with varying thickness and curl - Merino, Corriedale and Coopworth. My tests were simple enough; run known concentration solutions containing heavy metal ions through the three different wool types measuring the concentration after filtration and comparing it to concentration before filtration. Using 23
Fair. After making some suggested improvements (such as repetition of tests) and refining the little details of the project (such as background research, logs and other extra information) it was ready for judging. On the day, after waiting for a relatively short period of forty five minutes the judges arrived and asked all those questions you hoped you wouldn't get. Do they like me? Do they think I know what I'm talking about? Are my answers correct or do they just nod with sympathy? It seemed they did and they were for I gained first place in my category and form, as well as winning other awards with large cash prizes which totalled $900 as well as a trip to Dunedin. Above all this, the Science Fair gave me the opportunity to take learning and experimentation into my own hands and delve into true scientific research that doesn't always have set or expected answers. I found that scientific research and results do not only fill up space on a page but can have applications that benefit the world. My results open pathways that after some more rigorous investigation can eventually lead to wool being the number one means of removing harmful chemicals from solutions - a means that is cheap environmentally friendly and will greatly benefit our wool nation. Wool - something that I won't stop thinking about. Jashneel Agraval

The Manurewa High School Health 2000 It has been a big year for "Health" in The Manurewa High School, updating and rewriting schemes to i mplement programmes more effectively across the curriculum within the school according to the new Health and Physical Education curriculum outline. This is still ongoing. As for our annual 'visits', Bloodbank visited only once this year in May and had a record number of students donate. However, because of 'restructuring' within the New Zealand Bloodbank Services, fewer staff were provided to facilitate the 'take', and many students had to be turned away. This was a disappointment all round. In August Rape Crisis paid their annual visit to the school to speak to Year Eleven on various aspects of

I especially liked holding and touching the animals from the little pond" Jolene Chapman 9PR "I liked the way the stingrays and the eagle rays got their food, the stingrays tried to knock the face masks off the divers face. I also liked the pig fish because they start out as females and the bossy ones turn into

The Siemens Science Experience 2000 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. Eleven keen, enthusiastic people from The Manurewa High School attended this year, Cal Morrison, Hayley Motion, Debbie Moodley, Katie Foote, Denise Irwin, Natasha Sparks, Gemma Daily, Janelle Saili, Bassett Khou, Jo Dix and Danielle Harrison. Here are some of the experiences they had and things they did during these three days: We got to do experiments with all sorts of things to do with Science, including chemistry, electronics and even boat building! - Bassett The activity that I enjoyed the most was chemistry because we got to make things like nylon. The best thing about this was our group made the longest string of nylon out of all
the groups. Then we tested different chemicals in flames and the flames changed colour. The last thing we did was slime! This was my favourite because we got to keep it. - Debbie One of the activities I liked the best was environmental engineering. We got to spend most of the time outside. We threw oranges into the stream! Then we timed how long it took for the oranges to pass under a bridge to find out how fast the current moved. This programme also involved a bush walk, and we were told how to identify different plants. Hayley It gave me a different perspective on Science. Boat building was the best part. It gave me a chance to do something I would have never had the option of doing and it showed me that there are a lot more options out there in the wider world. My boat model looks REALLY COOL! Natasha We thought that the Siemens Science Experience was an
extremely good three-day coursa gave you an idea of job opportuniti especially in the science fields. Debbie/Hayley For example I really enjoyed computer engineering actit because it was so easy and well up. The teachers explained what needed to get into this course how many years it took to be qualified computer engineer. - Cal It was an excellent way to heaps of new people from a vani of schools in Auckland. It VN awesome. - Janelle Everybody who attended came a with something valuable, whet having a chance to meet new pea or just getting familiar with what local tertiary institutions have tool They also had a chance to do this that you can't do at school becai many of these places have specie equipment. If you are keen Science and in year 11 next year, involved and go for it!

Year 11 Science Trip to Rangitoto Monday 4 September was a fresh spring morning at the Manurewa High School. It was on this perfect day, with clear blue skies, that about 60 students ventured forth under the watchful eyes of Miss Makin, Mr Potter and Mr Sparks, to learn more about the geology and flora and fauna on Auckland's youngest volcano. We took the ferry to the Southern side of the island and made our way to the summit from there. Rangitoto is unique and world famous for the variety of plants that are growing on it and how From left to right quickly they have become Above: Uati Fesuluai , Maria Barrett and Tifi Talagi at the crater lookout. established. There is a real shortage Below: "DA BOYS" Leroy Maifea, Shane Mahoney and Jonny Cook of water, sometimes the surface reaches up to 70째C and yet these plants are successfully growing in many cases on bare rock! As we made our way to and from the summit we identified several species of plants, including rare kidney ferns, and sketched what we observed. We also had to identify the two main types of rocks that make up the island, basalt and scoria. When we reached the summit we had time to sit and have lunch. Then it was back to work, drawing a labelled map of all we could see of Auckland. On the map we had to try to correctly name as many of Auckland's 48 volcanoes as possible. It makes the job harder finding out that some of these have been quarried away! Finally, it was back to the Ferry then back to school. The day had been a great success and it made a real difference to actually experience Rangitoto first hand, rather than admiring it from afar and in books. It really gives what you have learned in class a new, realistic perspective.
Myths and Legends Throughout history different cultures have used stories to explain geological events. For example Rangitoto has a story about its
beginnings in the Hauraki gulf. Each student was asked to create their own legend to help explain a geological feature they had identified on Rangitoto's summit. Saroeun Ney writes the legend you are about to read.
The creation of Mt Albert Long ago there were two sisters called Mount Smart and Three Kings, who hated each other and were always fighting. Sometimes they would shout until gushings of fire and ash would appear above them as far as the open seas. One day the fighting rage was so strong, they started to throw and blast rocks at each other as well. Under the crust between these 27
battling beauties lived the goddess of fire and rock. Her name was Igneous Albert. She was a kind, loving goddess, but there was one thing that she detested, and that was people fighting. This time she could feel the rumbling and thumping. It was too loud and violent to ignore anymore. There was only one way to stop this. She decided after a lot of thought to block the view the sisters had of each other. So she rose up and pushed the two sisters to either side. To this day the sisters have not been able to fight. And when you drive past them you will see a new mountain right in between them. She is called Mt Albert.

CELEBRATION OF MATHEMATICS WEEK -
Mathematics
14TH to 18TH AUGUST
MATHS IN ACTION - MATHEMATICAL QUIZZES The winners of Mathex Quizzes have to combine solving problem skills with athletics ability. The event is a relay race where the baton change is the correct answer to a mathematical brain The four teaser. students in each team work together on a problem. "The runner" then dashes, at top speed, with their answer, to the marker. A correct answer means a score of 5 points and another question. If they are wrong they can try again or "pass". Imagine 14 teams doing this accompanied by the loud encouragement of their supporters.
During Mathematics Week, scho throughout the country make sp efforts to promote the study Mathematics by providing competiti and activities. This year, we publis two questions everyday in the d notices, one an estimation problem [H many jellybeans in a jar?] and one calculation problem. A music vouc worth $30 was awarded to the winner each competition every day, thanks to kind sponsorship of the Weymo Cosmopolitan Club.

Physical avxci Pevtsovxal Deveiorinevvf Soccer Department The 2000 Season started with the largest turn out of players we have ever seen. Trying to organise coaches and managers was a difficult task. The Boys section was well catered for but we could not find enough teachers or parents to accommodate the demands from the Girls. Four Boys teams and four Girls teams were entered into the Manukau/Counties schools competition played each Wednesday after school. The practice grounds on Mondays and Tuesdays were often full with up to 100 players, keenly competing for places in the teams for Wednesday's games_ The Boys' teams excelled with the 1st X1 winning the A- Grade title for the first time since 1992. The Boys 2nd X1 were Runners-up in the B - Grade, a most keenly competitive division. Boys C- Grade, a division for Yr 9 and 10 students only, was won most convincingly by the green team with a record of 72 goals for and only 1 against. Boys C - Grade gold team were runners-up in the same division. With the sound structure in coaching techniques we have been able establish this year and the number of talented juniors coming into prominence through Club and Representative Soccer at our school, the future looks very bright.
We entered a Girls A Grade team into the Auckland/ Manukau/Counties division that finished 7th position out of 8 teams in what is considered the best Schools Competition in NZ. Results are published in the NZ Herald each week. Two teams were entered in the Manukau/ Counties B grade competition, a division for mainly Senior Girls. Both teams struggled to get winning results, our Gold team comprised mainly Yr 11 students who showed a lot of potential for the future two years. The girls C Grade practised and played each week with tremendous enthusiasm, they were rarely beaten by one goal and these girls have learnt a lot and are ready for next season. We lacked coaches but the Girls always wanted to practise. In the games played, the attitude of our students was always paramount, they gave their best and were often just beaten by one goal. All the girls were winners, their enjoyment of practice and playing the game on Wednesdays was a tribute to the team sportsmanship or should I just say endeavours to win a competitive encounter. Year 2000 was most successful for Manurewa High School Soccer - an end of the season event, the Olympic qualifying match between NZ and South Africa was most enjoyable with 20 staff and 30 students visiting North Harbour Stadium to watch the game. Organising 8 teams to play each Wednesday is not an easy task, you need a good team. Thanks to the School's administration for 30

Junior Boys' Soccer Huge early season wins of 11-0 and more, showed a special character of wanting to play the best possible football regardless of the competition or conditions. With cleverly worked passages of play and great passing some spectacular goals were scored, great strikes from around the goal area by Reece and Fadi, piercing attacks by David, terrific angles shots and valuable crosses from Jeremy and John, and amongst many super shots a memorable long range blast by Aaron from close to half way that stunned everyone (except Dad on the side line!)
Included at the end of the season was an away match against Papatoetoe 16th grade where the season's play all came together in one great display and a 5-0 victory. Three players also went on the sub for the first XI towards the end of the season, playing well.
Exciting expansive play and a sensational 78 goals were possible
My personal thanks go to Brian Lane for time spent in the organisation, to
due to the hard working midfielders and the steadfast platform created in defense with the combination of Blair (radar), Aaron {the rock) and soccer legend Jarrod (the weapon) who also supplied great attacking throws and corners.
Mr O'Donnell for his enthusiasm and efforts till his departure and to Mr Conroy for stepping in to help, and of course to the supportive parents. However, the highlight this season has to be the staunch and very proud team effort in response to keeping our goal secure. For together with winning all their games and the Cup, only ONE goal was conceded in the whole season, great stuff, boys! Remember, sports do not always build character, but they do reveal it! The best to you all for next year. Darryl Hughes
SOCCER SENIOR GIRLS GOLD This year's soccer season started with a huge turn out of girls wanting to play, with 5 teams ultimately being created. There were two junior teams, two senior teams and one first Xl. The senior Gold team was coached by Mr Lee and our captain was Stephanie Warren, a first time soccer player. Most of the players in the team had played together before but many were first timers who looked forward to the challenge and the fun of being in a soccer team. We played nine games this season, winning three of the games including one against James Cook. This was a major highlight of the season as we are only a developing team. We were also given the opportunity to see New Zealand under 19 males play South Africa in the Olympic trials at North Harbour Stadium. We may have lost that one, but we all had fun cheering them on and donning black and white face paint! It was noted that the two senior teams and the first XI worked closely in training and in games, often swapping/sharing players to open opportunities up for aspiring young girls. Many friendships were made, mixing girls of all ages who normally wouldn't mingle. These friendships grew from hours of training, hundreds of bruises, many laps around a soccer field and countless afternoons of fun. We would like to extend a note of gratitude to the five teachers who gave up their spare time to not only coach us but inspire us. We hope to see all you younger players and a few extra next year and we say a sad goodbye and good luck to all the older players who helped us, passed on knowledge and helped make it fun for all.

The girls' soccer team 2000 This year our soccer was very enjoyable as we played our hardest, but most importantly didn't forget to have fun. That's what sport is all about - going out there with determination and a supportive team. Although we didn't quite reach our goal of getting to the final or even winning a game but it was fun for all. We couldn't have had a great team without the help of our coach. On behalf of our team I would like to say thanks to Mrs Henn for giving up her time to coach us. We really appreciate it.

Scott Foster Manurewa High School Seventh form student Scott Foster has picked up the Counties Manukau Secondary School Player of the Year award for the second consecutive year, and in the process, has lead his first XI side to the Counties Manukau Championship title. As a third-former, Scott was a member of the junior team at Manurewa High, coached by Brian Lane that went on to win the junior title. He stepped up into the first XI as a fourth former and the last few seasons has played under the watchful guidance of University/Mt Wellington striker Stuart Roberts, a physical education teacher at the college. Scott began his soccer career as a six-year-old with the local Manurewa club, and was one of only
two players of his age group to progress through the ranks as a Counties Manukau representative player for seven year's from 1993 to 1998. The other being New Zealand under 17 World Cup player Daniel Trent. As a fifteen-year-old in 1998, Scott was "signed up" by astute coach Ward Jameson, who was at the time coaching Franklin First division side Waiuku. "I had been involved with Scott's development at Manurewa as a youngster, and knew exactly what the lad was capable of, the opportunity to play senior football was going to benefit both the Waiuku club and also Scoff insofar as helping him with his early education into senior football. said Jameson. In his first season at Waiuku, Scott 32
earned the senior player of the ye award, not a bad achievement at for a fifth former, in his first year senior football. Two seasons at Waiuku matur Scott into a senior player, and t season Scott made a deterrnin effort to "step up" a few grades a try his luck with ex Manure National League player and t, striker Mark Armstrong who w coaching at Onehunga Sports in Bluebird first division. Scott worked hard at Onehung content to sit on th bench and for his opportunity. When the chan for a first team call up arrived, Sc seized his chance with both han commanding a first team spot, wh he maintained for the remainder the season.

Boys 1st XI Soccer 2000
The 1st XI had a strong core of players from previous years, Scott, Reece, Shimon, Danny, AJ, some exciting new recruits, Yash, Logan, Jaynil, Eric , Odishoo and some parttimers who helped out exceptionally when available, Nico, Cole, Jared, Rhys and David. These boys all combined throughout the season to play attractive, winning, Football!!! Results went our way early on and our confidence increased. We developed our own entertaining style of play, revolving around Reece organising the defence, Scott dominating the midfield and Yash scoring plenty of goals. These three players all had great seasons and were ably supported by the rest of
the squad. When the season eventually came to a close, as a coach, I was extremely satisfied! We had convincingly won the Counties Manukau "A Grade" section with 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. We had also beaten the 2nd XI and the extremely skilful "Staff Allstars" to finish the year in style! After coaching many of these boys for the past few years it is now great to see we are becoming a major force in secondary school soccer. Special thanks must go to the other coaches, Mr. Edinberry (2nd XI), Mr O'Donnell / Mr Hughes (Junior A), Mr Hornblow (Junior B) and Mr Lane. Itmakes my job so much easier when
we have such enthusiastic people helping in the development of MHS soccer. Also thanks to the boys who won't be back next year, especially, Scott, AJ and Logan. Your commitment and attitude have been outstanding and this has played a major part in our success this season. I wish you all the best in future soccer endeavours! Finally, thanks to all the supporters and all the soccer players in the school. We have made it to the top in our region, lets see us stay there for many years to come! Mr. Roberts (coach)
JUNIOR SOCCER TEAM It was a pleasure to coach and manage such an enthusiastic skillful Junior Soccer team. After an early set back against Rosehill College losing 2-3 the team played excellent controlled football. Each player contributed to the success of the team and this culminated in the team being runner up to our School's very successful A Team. The team was ably lead by Cheyenne King in goal. Carl forbes controlled the midfield and Kane Hewett found he was the strength at the back as Sweeper. Savuth Thach was the main danger out wide however all the boys were a credit to the team and to the school. Thank you for providing your coach with a memorable season. PW Hornblow Coach 33

NETBALL 2000
THE MANUFIEVA HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR CHU I NETBALL A 2000
An increase in teams this year meant we were able to field 4 senior teams, 2 intermediate teams and 2 junior teams. There were a record number of trialists (79) however unless you have enough coaches, it isn't possible to place all students in teams. The teams were all selected and then competition started. This year in particular there was a strong field in the premier division and our girls were just beaten to a finals berth by one goal. Our senior A side had
mixed results with a lack of commitment by some players being a contributing factor. However a special mention re Te Amo Williams whose superb organization and Captaincy skills were outstanding. Our Senior B side was quietly determined and ended up winning their section — well done ladies. The 4th Form teams struggled this year for a lot of the same reasons as above, however the 4th Form A team did make it through to the crossovers 34
but were unsuccessful. In our 3rd Form section our teams were keen and enthusias and enjoyed reasonable succe The 3rd Form A team made it throu to the crossover champs and w very successful in winning t Counties/Manukau 3rd form sect Congratulations ladies — a sup effort. Finally a big thank-you to our coaches Ana Noovao, Kar Otene, Mrs Scanlon, Mrs Reynal and teacher support from Ms Towl and Mr Hodgson.

This year, it has been a pleasure and privilege to be associated with the Women who play in the First Fifteen. Not surprisingly, our games proved to be a popular spectator sport. I think the crowd enjoys our games nearly as much as the players (not to mention the manager). I know that my voice box took another hammering this season, I was often only able to muster a whisper by the end of a match. The successes we celebrated this year include • Coming third in the Counties Manukau competition • Drawing with Papatoetoe High, the eventual champions. • Joyce being the only player to score against Papatoetoe, she did it twice!! • Having Huriana, Angela Neelam, Aichi andTania selected to play at representative level • Having so many juniors on the team • Great team spirit • New coaches Many thanks to Vaea, Liza and Charlotte for their commitment and hard work during the season. See you next year, bigger, better and stronger. We promise.

Badminton - 2000 This year there was a record number of entries for people wanting to play Badminton (92) but unfortunately we were unable to place everybody in a team. We ended up with nine teams this year, 3 A Grade teams, and 6 in the B Grade. The teams were issued with new uniforms and looked very smart as they took the court. They competed against other teams from Rosehill College, James Cook, Pukekohe, and Papakura each week at Papakura on a Tuesday night. Results this year were mixed, but overall a good success. The A Grade Girls' team which consisted of Cara lee Moore (capt) Helen Marx, Khatijah Safit, Hayley Van Bellen, Jenna Clark and Yvonne Tiong won their respective competition this year - this included the mixed competition against the boys' teams. They were also successful in winning the Counties Teams' event, the next round held in Waikato (won this) and came 4th at the Nationals - a great result. While the A Grade boys did not fare as well, they played well and improved greatly as the season progressed and never gave up. A special thanks to the captains,

Our B Grade teams had differing results, but right throughout I was impressed by their positive attitudes and commitment to the game.

SWIMMING 2000 In February we held our annual school sports and as usual many new and talented students were identified. Eleven old records were broken- a record in itself, and are as follows: Michael Bushell - Open 1M, Snr I length Free, Open 3 length Back - Int 3 length Free David McKee - Int 3 length Free. Luisa Denton Open IM, Int I length Free, Int I length Back Shaye Duffin
- Int I length Breast, Int 1 length Fly. Open 3 length Breast.
The school champions for swimming this year are: Juniors, Desmond Harnett. Teaukura, Melissa Intermediate, David 1\icKee, Luisa Denton. Senior, Michael Bushell, Kate Warren. At the beginning of March we attended the Counties Manukau Intercollegiate Meeting, held at Massey Pool, Papakura. We took by far the largest team of any schools in the area and were placed in every race we entered. Our final placing was second overall behind Pukekohe High School in championship points.
In the past we have entered into the Auckland Relay Championships only but this year with the revamped organisation we ended up competing in two meetings out at Waitakere Aquatic Centre where we were extremely fortunate to have tremendous parental support, yet again! The first meeting was the Southern Zone competition where eleven schools swam both individual and relay races to try to qualify for the Auckland Champion of Champions meeting. The first place getter in an event at each Zone and the next fastest four times from any of the four zones, would make up the eight finalists for the Auckland Champion of Champions Meeting. As you can imagine, this was no mean feat! Our results were Individual

Forty one secondary schools from the Auckland region were represented at the Auckland Champion of Champions' meeting, held on 21 March. Shaye Duffin finished 2nd in the IG Back and Luisa Denton finished 5th in IG Fly and 7th in 10 Free. The junior boys' relay teams finished 5th in Back (up on placing) and 6th in Free. Our Open boys' team placed 4th (an improvement of 4 p!acings!) and our intermediate girls won the Medley convincingly by seconds! On the weekend of 25 March' seven swimmers who had met strict qualifying, times at club level, travelled to Palmerston North for the North Island Swimming, and Diving Championships. Seventy schools from Wellington to Kaitaia competed in this annual event. Competition was fierce as this is an age event and there are no distinctions between what level each swimmer is capable of hence, many National Div 1 and 2 swimmers were competing in the same race. Our team was; Luisa Denton, Bax Denton, Corrin Harnett, Melissa Harnett, David McKee, Michael Bushell and Bryce Molloy. Final results were Luisa Denton

The Routine By Cher' zelle Tuake
Winning entry in Year 12 Short Story Competition "Keep still," Nana said. Holding small handfuls of my hair she would twist, then twist, then suddenly yank my head back. "Ouch," I screamed pulling myself away from her. "Get over back here, and you better keep a still or I clip your ears," Nana replied in broken English. Oh how I hated getting my hair plaited from Nana, but it was the routine every Saturday morning. We were Seventh Day Adventist and had to wake up early to get ready for church. We would wake up when the sun was not even up yet. The only lights we saw were the ones in our house. We lived in the islands which meant no lamp posts outside, no driveways and no footpaths. There were seven children living with Nana and I was one of them. Three boys and four girls. We came from different families but we were all related to each other. "Wake those boys up now before you all get a hiding," was a very routine sentence Nana used every Saturday. Giving me no time to wake the boys up Nana would storm into the room with her broom made out of thin sticks and wack the three boys on the legs. Then came the next routine sentence. "Taviviki Kotou ete au Tamaroa. Kare to atu e tiaki ua is tatou ite is ra Katoa," she would say in Cook Island.
We laughed and would mimic her behind the walls. "Hurry up you boys the Lord can't wait for us all day,". 8 30 am would come. "Are you children ready now? Hurry up and start walking to church. If your clothes are dirty by the time you get there you will all get a hiding at the church". Then she would pause, "In front of everyone," she would finish as we all walked out the door. Walking to church was fun. It was the best part of the Saturday for us. Along the way to church we saw the other cousins and they would join our group. We would all take our time ambling to church. No Nana to annoy us or yell at us. It was just how we liked it. The journey to church would take at least ten minutes. It would be fifteen if we stopped at the shop. Eventually though, we arrived. As we came up the drive Nana would be standing at the top of the stairs like a primary school teacher watching her pupils entering the classroom. "You kids left before me and I arrive before you. Where have you been?" she would scream. Oh the shame! As we walked up the steps we knew what was about to happen next. Standing in a line one by one we got it. Yes, that's it a slap across the head and a clip on the ears. This happened to us every week. We always entered the church with other children laughing at us as they waited for the moment to happen. I would give them the eye and they would turn and whisper to someone else. The gossip that flew around the 38
church about us was evil. The ladies having their gossip ses about us made me want to flip The old men sitting in the front wo turn and stare at us in our disgr Was everything our fault? All children that had laughed at us k we would pay them back when had our classes. "Shame on you, you got a hid Tonga would sing. Then bang at the face Tonga was on the grou "That's what you get when you smart," I would say. "I'm telling your Nana," Tonga w whine. "Go ahead and I'll smash you school," I would follow. In the end Tonga never did tell that was his routine every week. After class we had to assemble in church. This was the part I hated most The sermon that was supp to last an hour but would last a w three hours "And God said let your heart be troubled," the Area would start and that is how it w Quote after quote after quote. Every week was the same. If think that was bad I'll tell you was bad was sitting next to N during the service. We we allowed to talk nor were we allo to whisper. Our backs had to straight, heads up and ears listen We each had a Bible, paper and to write down notes about sermon, all provided happily Nana. "There, study God's word I'll

later," she would say. Not that we did this. I guess we had to learn the hard way. On our sheets we played naughts and crosses, hangman, pictionary, made origami and sent notes to each other using the Bible to lean on. Next minute all we saw were these bulging eyes behind a pair of glasses observing what we were doing and you knew what came next. Seven slaps across the legs, seven clips across the ears and yes seven angry faces. It was the same every week. When the preacher stopped preaching, Nana would make us sing a song to pay for what she called 'drawing' a sin. We sang the same song every week - 'My God Loves
Me'. After that we had to apologise to the church members one by one and then close church with a prayer. They should have put us on the programme, as everyone knew what would happen week after week after week. Nana was disgraced with us and sent us marching down the street. "Go home and start cooking, the minister is coming home for lunch. Open two tins of corn beef and mix it in with the rice. The taro is already cooked. You boys climb the tree and get the coconuts," Nana struggled to say loud enough as we just kept walking away from her. On the way home we

always had discussions about Nana. Oh how we hated her and how we wished we were with our real parents. We even thought of running away. As we walked along the dusty road we always wondered what it would be like not living with Nana. The questions were always asked. Were we bad children? Did Nana hate us? Why is she so hard on us? Did she do this for our well being? We never knew the answers. Oh how we hated Friday. It was the day we dreaded. It was the day before Saturday - ROUTINE DAY.

Firstly we would like to acknowledge our Whaea Ngahuia who passed on earlier this year. She played a major part in our lives and is sadly missed by everyone. She remains in our hearts, we love you Whaea. We have had a very busy year with many triumphs, good times, and hard work. Our first mission was a national competition, which was held in Taumaranui, the Manu-Ariki Nationals. We had about one month to learn 20 minutes of performance that later gained the group 3rd placing overall. For many of us it was the first time participating in a competition. Two weeks later was the famous A. S.B Cultural Festival. At the completion of this competition we had spent the last five weekends together learning and preparing for this event. We had gained a

reputation from the previous years performance we had to live up to. The pressure was on! We were the last group to perform on the Maori stage and in 20 mins, two months of late nights, lost voices and hard work would all be over. We were placed 5th overall, although this final placing came after much trepidation we knew that, that performance, was the best that we had! We then had The Maori Queen's Coronations Celebrations in the 2nd 40
term. Once again this went well, with the group placing 3rd overall. The next competition was the Manu-Ariki Regionals held at Waitakere High School. This is a regional competition where we placed 2nd, with our leaders, Kaea, Matina Grace and Mitchell Tipene both taking 1st places. This year was our turn also to host the Four High Schools' Festival, which was an awesome experience and a very successful evening. Papakura High School, Rosehill College and James Cook High
The Manurewa High School
School Maori groups all performed in an evening dedicated to members within each of the groups. We had to organise and do all the work to prepare for this; even the M.C's had their work cut out for them! We would like to say the biggest Kia Ora to Errin and thank her for being there for all of us when we needed advice and help. We would like to say good luck for the future and hope that all of your dreams come true and go hard girl in everything you do! Kia kaha To the other members of the group Kia kaha, and we'll see you all next year. No reira tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou, Katoa The following is a song that was written in remembrance of Ngahuia O'Reilly who passed away at the beginning of the year. This song was performed at the A.S.B Festival as a tribute to a lady who has worked hard and dedicated her life to teach te reo me ona tikanga to young Maori men and women. Your work and memory will live long in the hearts and minds of those you taught. Ngahuia Te Whaea Kua rere atu Ki te huna o te moa Aue

My trip to Japan 8th - 24th April 2000 By Lisa Foster Our plane left at 11:15am on Saturday 8th April, and ten and a half hours later we were at Narita Airport in Tokyo, on the other side of the equator. There was a 3 hour time difference, so we arrived at our sister school Takasaki Higashi Senior High School via a 3 hour bus ride at 11:30pm Japan time, it was already 2:30am the following day in New Zealand. There were 6 students on the trip, and each of us had our own individual home stay host sister. I was lucky to be staying with the girl who stayed with me last year, Makiko. Her parents spoke quite a bit of English, and although it wasn't absolutely perfect, I gave them full credit. It helped me because my Japanese was still pretty weak, and it helped them because they had the chance to learn English from and English speaking person. At first I'd sit and listen to their conversations and not understand a single word. By the time I had to go home I could generally pick up most of what they were saying. We attended school with our host sisters for roughly 4 days. We were made the centre of the 2nd and 3rd year English classes. We also had to deliver speeches to the entire school on the first day that we attended in Japanese! What's more, I had to go first! But it wasn't as bad as I thought it might've been, and everyone there was really nice. On the 11th, the 6 of us and our 3
accompanying teachers took a day trip to Doai, where after climbing 486 stairs in one go, I experienced something I'd been waiting for all my life. I saw the snow for the first time. To be more precise, I was in the snow!! On the 14th, we started our tour. We left our hosts and our suitcases behind and for a whole week we effectively backpacked around Japan. Our main source of transport was the train. Their rail system is so advanced, you can basically travel the entire country by train. Day one of our tour found us in Takayama City at the marionette display and the spring festival parade. We stayed in a traditional Japanese style youth hostel with paper doors, ate traditional Japanese food off tables about a foot high off the ground and slept on futon (a mattress on the floor). Next day we tackled the rain and made our way to Kanazawa where, despite the weather, we visited the famous park Kenrokuen. Again, we stayed in a youth hostel, this time up in the hills surrounded by millions of sakura (cherry blossoms). Day three and on to Himeji Castle, a hot spot, not only for tourists. We climbed up all the steep stairs inside the castle, in slippers, right to the top. This castle is very famous in Japan. It was never lived in, just used in battle. The view from the top was incredible, as was the castle itself. We travelled to Hiroshima that evening and stayed in Mikawa Ryokan. The following day took us to my favourite place of all the places we visited, Hiroshima City. We visited the very place the atomic bomb was dropped on the 6th of August 1945 at 42
8:15am. We went first to the Genbaku Dome which is the only building that was hit by the atomic blast that is still allowed to stand. It's a national treasure. We went to the children's memorial, where we deposited the 1000 paper cranes we'd made before we left New Zealand. We saw the flame of perpetual life, the vault with the scroll with the names of every person killed by the A-bomb written on it, the mound containing the ashes of about 70,000 unidentified people, and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum which was very graphic and very much an emotional place. That day we also went to the Kintaikyo Bridge, Kintaikyo Castle. and Miyajima On day five we travelled to Kyoto. We visited Kinkakuji a golden temple, Ryoanji; a traditional Japanese rock garden, and Kiomizudera; another temple. As we had done every other day, we got in a heap of shopping as well. We stayed at Pension Station Kyoto, which was more of a motel than a hostel. We'd all became so accustomed to sleeping on the ground on a futon, but we all slept in beds that night. Then it was off to Tokyo, where we stayed on the 18th floor of the Central Plaza in the Tokyo International Youth Hostel with a great, but hazy view of the city. The last day we found ourselves at Asakusa at the markets in the pouring rain spending up large to our little hearts' content. We went back to our home stays that Thursday night, and stayed there until Sunday when we were to make the flight back home. I really loved Japan. I'd go there again given the chance.

Takasaki Higashi Visit to New Zealand The eleven hour flight ended as thirteen Japanese students and teachers entered New Zealand's Auckland airport. These visitors arrived in New Zealand ready to be hosted by students from The Manurewa High School for approximately seven days. This happens every year, students and teachers from our sister school. Takasaki Higashi High travel to New Zealand to experience life as a Kiwi and to improve their English. This year the students and teachers were accompanied by their Principal who was very impressed by the way his students interacted and learned from us New Zealanders. Japanese students of The Manurewa High School were gathered in the hall to greet the Japanese visitors hoping to put what they had learned in class to practice. This was most important for those who were hosting, especially considering the Japanese are very shy people who need all the encouragement they can get. This is where the Maori Club did very well, welcoming our visitors proudly , with their songs, dances and speeches.
Above: Casey and Megumi at Mission Bay Below: Judy, her sister, Tomomi and Casey at ice skating.
When the welcome was complete students who were hosting paired up with the person they were to host for the next week. I hosted a sixteen year old girl who was very anxious to meet new people and learn more about New Zealand. This may seem simple enough, but she was in a new country and knew as much English as I knew Japanese. I soon became very grateful that the Japanese student I was about to host had brought an electronic dictionary with her. The next few days we spent ice skating, bowling, going to the beach, horse-riding, listening to music and shopping. We soon learned how to understand each other and with a little help from her dictionary, were able to hold long conversations. Overall, my time as a host sister can be explained as meaning it was fun!
Utsonimiya Exchange 2000 For seven weeks in the third term this year, The Manurewa High School was visited by two exchange students from Manukau's Sister City Utsonimiya in Japan. Ai and Aya attended classes along with the sixth form Japanese students, experiencing a range of subjects, (notably cooking class, where they spent at least two periods every day). The exchange programme runs every year between the two cities, when 6-5 senior school students spend seven weeks in a school in their sister city. This year I was fortunate enough to have Ai staying with my family, and I will reciprocate by spending these Christmas holidays with a family in Utsonimiya. I learned a lot from Ai when she was here, such as how to marinate pork in coca cola while using chopsticks and that there is a difference between the Japanese words for 'cheap' and 'vegetable' (this caused considerable confusion). Likewise, I know that she learned a lot from coming here and being apart of my family and our school community. Sharon Baylis 44

Paris Trip September in Paris for 24 MHS students. Our hotel, MIJE Hotel Maubuisson, was perfect, a lovely old 17th Century building in the pedestrian Rue des Barres. We walked across the island to NotreDame. It was the beginning of a beautiful relationship with spiraling stone stairs as we traced the steps of Quasimodo to the bell tower. We split up later. Follow the Rue de Rivoli and you can't get lost. Of course we made it home. Except for the two who went north instead of east, past the Phantom's Opera, on to the red windmill, le Moulin Rouge, centre of what was once Europe's biggest red light district. There they met some nice Police people who happily mocked them while driving them to the local police station at Place de Clichy. A call to our hotel allowed us to rescue them almost in time for dinner.
spiraling stone steps to the top of the Arc de Triomphe were rewarded by a splendid 360 degree view down the great avenues. Patrizia Signorelli (Exchange student earlier this year) travelled from Switzerland to meet us here! Back to Montmartre for dinner at the "Refuge des Fondus" with Haley commenting that the place clearly hadn't been cleaned since Mr. Lynch last ate there...in 1985. Sunday morning had to be the Flea markets at Porte de Clignancourt. Dinner was at the Buffalo Grill, Place de la Republique, steak, chicken, fries, great dessert and coca-cola in glass bottles. The students were happy although nervous about our visit to St Michel des Batignolles high school. Monday, we divided up, two or three students per class and at the end
The next day we got acquainted with the truly great Paris subway system, eliminating any chance of anyone else getting lost. On to the Louvre, the biggest museum in the world. Mona's smile greeted us and the Venus de Milo tried her best to wave. That night, Sacre-Coeur, splendid above the Paris lights, and then the Place du Tertre where the artists painted portraits of our young band.
of the day, everyone wanted to stay on having met some very cool young French people. Tuesday saw us sorting out our Monets from our Manets at Musee d'Orsay, a former train station and a very beautiful, light building with a great terrace overlooking the Seine. We walked to the Musee Rodin, with its gorgeous gardens, and thought our own thoughts beside the "Thinker". The next day, we took the train to the Chateau de Versailles, found grass and had a fabulous picnic of cheeses, hams, breads and orangina in the grounds where Louis waltzed Marie-Antoinette before losing both their heads at Place de la Concorde. Friday we let ourselves be delighted for 12 hours straight at Euro Disney. Our final night began with ice cream at the legendary Berthillon on the Ile St Louis, then dinner at Place St Catherine and a dash in the metro to see the sparkling Eiffel Tower. There we sang in Maori and English, and pondered a future busking in the streets of Paris. With the artists at Montmartre Restaurant Le Vapeurs
The Eiffel Tower was exactly as it is. We took the lift up and a few keen sorts walked the stairs down. Then to Opera where we split to visit Galeries Lafayette and Printemps department stores. Two days in the Loire valley and a chance to explore the twin stone spiral stairway of Chateau de Chambord. You can walk up without meeting the people coming down. Already Friday and a boat ride on the Seine provided a chance to drift by a millennium of history. From the Champs-ElysĂŠes, 45

Alex Maich Library & Information Centre What a year! I can easily say that 2000 has been a year to remember and certainly one which has proved to be as great as the pre-millennium hype predicted. My second attempt as head librarian has not been an exception. 2000 saw more welcome additions and renovations to the recently renamed Alex Maich Library and Information Centre. Changes are evident especially with the installation of the new INNZ senior student research computer pod and in term three, the non-fiction area was adorned with new study tables imported from Australia to match the new library colours. Also a much welcomed addition came courtesy of Mr Petersen and a group of Year 10 students at the end of 1999 with their outstanding red, orange and yellow Above: Monday and Thursday student Librarian team.

mural symbolising every aspect of student life at The Manurewa High School. After some twenty years of possessing such an old fashioned and dull-looking library, we can now easily compare with any other schools library in Auckland. I am very proud of our new-look library and I know my sentiments are reflected by the rest of the student body. The student librarian team has generally worked well this year and contained a larger quota of junior librarians than recent years. Led by a mature team of daily team leaders; with special recognition to Mark Huynh and Angela Gross who have been librarians for five years. The entire student team has developed very useful skills in librarianship. I must offer my heartfelt thanks to the adult librarians Mrs Nicholson and Mrs Lakhan for their support and advice to us throughout the year. At this point I must, on behalf of the library and the school, sadly announce the departure of Mrs Miers who is leaving to pursue teacher training at Auckland College of Education next year. We wish her the best of luck in her endeavours and thank her for all the smiles and work she put into our library. Again this year also, Mr Finlay and Mrs Shaw have been awesome teacher librarians and have become inspiring role models for me. I certainly hope they are still here when I can hopefully return to teach at The Manurewa High School in a few years time. On behalf of the library, I would like to wish all parting students great and fulfilling lives. But to returning students for 2001, remember to use your library, and use it responsibly and selflessly. Shaun Greaves (aka Greavis) Head Librarian 1999-2000

Cook Island Group: Polynesian Festival 2000. Interested students were invited to start rehearsing in November "99" and it was a very nervous bunch who turned up to meet the new tutor (6ft 8 and someone whom you don't mess with). There were a lot of sore bodies, but early signs of commitment started to emerge and in February of this year when rehearsals started, there was a very good turn - out. This was a very multi - cultural group, consisting of a number of Cook Islanders, Samoans, Niueans, Tongans and Maori students. Our aim this year was to be No 1 and take out the Cook Island section at the festival. Richard the tutor worked the group hard and was ably supported by Christina (tutor for the girls) Kopu (on drums) and our many parents who were there to sew costumes and just to be supportive. A big thank you to those people for their contribution. The day of the festival dawned and it was an early
meeting at school so we could all travel together to the festival. We watched the other groups and then it was out turn. This was now the opportunity everyone had worked so hard for, and we were all nervous, but ready to give it 100%. It was a superb performance and the group had every reason to feel proud. We had to wait a long time for the results, but it was certainly worth it a total of 7 firsts out of 12 and 3 seconds and two thirds. We were just pipped to first place by four points. Congratulations to the group - an excellent effort and one they can be very proud of. My grateful thanks to Mr Thompson and the Board for allowing us to purchase a set of drums, this made a huge difference to the group. And last, but by no means least - a huge thank-you to Richard Talagi - Tutor, Choreographer, costume maker, Mrs V Evaroa with boys from the Cook Island Group
drummer and general all round muso, dancer - you name it he can do it. His committment to the group, fine - tuning every detail certainly paid off and is a great tribute to him. Finally to the group - I was very proud to be associated with you this year. V .Evaroa Teacher - in - Charge.

Again a great performance by the group which was acknowledged by the locals there and who were commenting that our, group could 'teach the Cook Islanders a thing or two' - that is high praise indeed. We were also followed around on every performance by the Cook Island T.V. crew and the local newspaper who were keen to record our performances. This was shown on T.V on their news and also a small segment of the performance was shown every night. We were becoming quite famous. As a result of all this publicity we were asked to perform at the local market place on the final Saturday of our stay there. This is quite an honour and would be in front of a lot of people - we arrived early to set up, got changed and were ready to perform. A large crowd had gathered, the coconut wireless had sent out the message that our group would be performing. An excellent performance and one which made us some money which would be put towards our dinner that night. A great start to the day, after which everybody wandered off and did, their thing. Dinner that night was 'Island Night' at the Edgewater Motel, a beautiful location right on the sea - front. There was plenty of food and the performance by a well known local group 'Orama' started at 8:30 pm. This featured a couple of our drummers who had supported our group since we had arrived. Their performance was great and much appreciated by us all. After
that we wandered out onto the Terrace for a while and some of our group put on their own performances - Raymond, Sonny, Tifi, Pauline, ( I would add this has all been captured on video). On Sunday (our last Sunday there) we went to the church next door to where we were staying and took part The singing is in the service. amazing and never ceases to impress me every time I hear it. We were asked to go next door for
refreshments after the service and our group stood up and sang in appreciation. In the afternoon - it was back to the water for yet another swim at the wonderful Muri Beach. Monday dawned and it was time for the big walk across the island - this was going to be interesting as most of them were unaware how steep it was going to be, but once you reached the top, what an awesome view of Rarotonga - however I need to mention here that Mrs Smith looked decidedly unimpressed at the end, as her information was that she would thoroughly enjoy her day notl9191 (if looks could kill). Our last day was spent doing last minute shopping catching up with relations, packing and trying to do last minute chores and jobs, repacking because a lot items just 53
wouldn't go in and last minute photos. Our flight was leaving at 3.25 am the next morning - so we would not be going to sleep that night. After a late meal, the group presented thank-you gifts to the parents, teacher and tutor who had accompanied them. The students were then presented by the drummers Noo, John and Tia ) a small pate (drum) each with their names carved on it. They were blown away by this gesture and once again gave them another instance of the generous nature of the Cook Island people. Leaving was hard and there was a number of visibly upset members of the group - we had met so many wonderful people who were so generous and giving in their time, food, gifts and general caring of us as a group. A big thank-you to our drummers Noo, Speedy , John, Tia and his twin brother, also Eddy. To all the relatives who came and saw us, donated food and made us feel so welcome. To our two parents who joined us, travelled with us, helped out in so many ways a big thank-you for all your hard work. Finally - there is always one person who deserves a special thanks - to Richard our tutor who puts so much time and effort into everything he does. His attention to detail is excellent and this is apparent in the polished performance that comes from the group. Thank-you so much for all your hard work. Finally - there is a wonderful expression that relates so well to the Cook Islands - 'A special magic, A Special Place, A Special People. Mrs V Evaroa,Teacher-in-Charge.

Samoan Group E muamua ona ou fa'atalofa atu I le paia ma le mamalu ua mafia ai ona fa'afeloai I lenei laulautusi ina ou to fa'afetai atu Ile Samoan Group. The new millennium approached and it also marked the new beginning of the Manurewa High School Samoan Group. Getting a group together wasn't hard as we had 45 keen students all from different ethnic backgrounds coming together to form the Samoan Group of the Year 2000. This year I had the privilege along with Beautie Tufuga of leading the Samoan group and from this experience it has left me with a lot of happy memories. With only female participants as the boys had a very hard time coming to practices so in the end it resulted in an all girls group. There was nothing that was going to stop the group
from performing at the ASB Secondary Schools' Festival. The girls performed with perfection and provided tough competition for other competitors to follow. This came to fruition when we received the trophy for best Ulufafo (exit or farewell). "Fun" was the most important thing and also for the group, we went out there to perform to the best of our ability and even though we were placed 8th overall we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. For our Samoan participants it was a new feeling altogether, experiencing their own unique culture, passion flowed from their songs and rhythm known only to us. For our non-Samoan friends, it was also a time of experiencing new things but also learning to adapt to a new culture, understanding the ways of dancing, the electrifying

atmosphere that you can never find anywhere else but on the Samoan stage. But on a high note, all the girls would like to thank our ever so loyal parents who were there from the start. Considering we had to practise every single day, for nearly 2 hours. As well as that, we would also like to thank our mother leader, Ms Jarden for her constant support which never ceases to falter even when times are tough. Thank you for all that you have done. Last but not least, the girls themselves, it may have been like going to the army but we achieved what we had aimed for and for that you should be proud. May God bless you all and best wishes for next year and for many years to come. Solo Tuilaepa

DUKE OF EDINBURGH'S AWARD There are literally millions of young people throughout the world who are participating in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award programme. We have around 50 participants at various stages at Manurewa High School. The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is great for students who already have a busy life. It is also great for those students who need to get busy! Students get recognition for all the extra activities they do in their leisure time. There are four parts to the Award skill, expedition, service and physical recreation. Students can choose from over 200 activities that can be done to qualify for the skill section. For example we have students in the choir or learning
tramping and camperaft. The students got to try using our new and modern camping equipment. They cooked their own dinner on gas cookers and slept in the tramping tents. Compass work and survival in the bush along with other essential skills when tramping were also covered during this weekend.
a musical instrument that are getting these activities counted towards their skill.
The silver expedition trainings were run by The Mountain Safety Council or Positively Outdoors and our students thoroughly enjoyed attending these trainings and meeting a lot of other DOE participants from other schools.
We have students already involved in sport - all they have had to do is ask their coach/supervisor to sign their notebook every month or so to note their improvement. The service section of the award has been completed by our students doing a course such as a St John Ambulance First Aid Certificate. Alternatively they have been assisting in a voluntary organisation such as the SPCA or the guide Dog Centre. We held a Bronze ExpeditionTraining at Totara Park in September as we do every year. This is the perfect place to learn the skills of
Writers' Group The Manurewa High School Writers' Group has continued to strengthen this year, meeting every Friday lunchtime upstairs in the library. Students have had the opportunity to read their pieces of work in a supportive atmosphere and are regularly informed of writing competitions that are available. The group has proved to be very sociable (despite Mrs Vergara's best efforts to squash discussions of Buffy the Vampire Slayer!). Many new friends have been made across many different year levels. The best pieces of writing were published in a booklet format and distributed throughout the English Department for other students to read. Plans have also been laid to publish work from the group on the school's website. The Writers' Group extends a warm welcome to all newcomers, even if just to listen at first. 55

Guidance This year the Guidance department has benefited from a stable staffing situation, with each of our 3 counsellors completing the entire school year in their respective positions. Ms Christina Jarden has fulfilled the role of guidance counsellor with special responsibilities for female students, Mrs. Susan Miller has continued to work each Friday as school chaplain, and Mr. Smith has remained as Senior Counsellor with special responsibilities for male students. Many benefits have arisen from our three counsellors continuing in their positions, which were all established in 1999. Both students and staff have become more familiar with each counsellor as time has progressed, and counselling work has been built up during the year. Each counsellor now works from an office in the new student services center, which has assisted the teamwork aspects of the department.
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 Principal or Counsellors) to change attitudes and behaviors 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 cooperation, anger and stress management, problem-solving and coping skills, and respect for others. We are very satisfied with the progress made during these courses (boys and girls groups) for most students, which are run by two Youthline counsellors in our school Where.
The year 2000 has been a year of consolidation and increasing The Guidance Department offers confidence in the services offered, individual, group and family and we look forward to 2001 with counselling (confidentiality assured) enthusiasm and further positive on issues such as parent or peer growth. 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, Child Youth and Family services, public health services, public and private practice counsellors, drug and alcohol rehabilitation organizations, FPA School linked clinic, and the Special Education Service. Approximately half of the students seen have Bryan Smith, Christina Jarden and Susan Miller 56
Human Resources All staff work together with the common aim of enhancing, encouraging and supporting the personal and emotional development of students at school so they are given the confidence and direction to pursue their academic, vocational and personal goals. 2000 has been a year of consolidation for the faculty. Two full time counsellors are on hand to deal with students' issues and concerns, and Susan Miller continues to offer her services as School Chaplain. The Deans have had a busy fulfilling year, ably assisted by the assistant deans. The faculty farewelled Mrs. Tabotha Leonard at the end of term 3 to pursue her career in England. The new Student Services Center is being put to good use. Mr. Smith, senior counsellor and Ms Jarden are both located here, as is Miss Thomas. year 12 dean and the director of Assessment, Mr. VK. Staff and students all agree it has been a valuable addition to our facilities. The faculty has been able to offer a range of courses and programmes during the year. The Learning Support Programme This programme has just completed its second cycle in the school. Its aim is to provide students with learning skills that will enhance their chance of academic success. Each form took part in a programme of eight 30minute lessons centered on specific concerns at each form level Year 9/13 Peer Support Year 10 A step in the right direction Year 11 Sink or swim Year 12 Internal combustion

The programme is working well 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 that can be exchanged for McDonald food vouchers. Positive reinforcements and recognition Each term the deans have asked staff to nominate students that have put in a special effort or who have applied themselves well in schoolwork or contributions to sports or cultural teams and activities. Nominated students received a sweet treat at the end of the term for their efforts. Peer Support Training Many year 13 students have completed their 2-day peer support training aimed at increasing and developing their leadership skills. Once trained the students work as "Peer Supporters" to the new year 9 students. Career/Transition Report Once again, the year has been extremely busy for Mrs Turner, Mrs Hunt and Mrs Thrupp. A large number of senior students have taken the opportunity to seek guidance either in career planning, employment opportunities or tertiary training. The Careers Room is well resourced for all tertiary and private provider information and includes software various computer programmes and a video library.

Social ScievIces Year 10 Enterprise Studies Trade Fair On the night of Wednesday, August 13 two hundred students saw the culmination of two terms of hard work - the Enterprise Studies Trade Fair!! This event was held in the hall where up to 50 different groups (or enterprises as we like to call them) displayed the products that they had been labouring over for the past four weeks - some students were still preparing their products half an hour before the Trade Fair started. The aim of Enterprise Studies is to develop a "can do" attitude in the students and to show them that they can make things happen themselves - and this was certainly achieved as between three and four hundred students and parents came to peruse, haggle and BUY, BUY, BUY as the students realised the rewards of their effort. For the record Joseph Murdie trading as Primes won the award for the Most Innovative Product for his range of T-shirts and surfboard wax while Funky Frames took away the award for Best Product Presentation.

OPEN SATURDAY MORNING
The Manurewa High School Y13 Rotorua Field trips at The Manurewa High School Social Sciences Department are always somewhat, well, interesting, and the 2000 Year 13 Geography/Tourism field trip to Rotorua was no exception. It began early on a cold Wednesday morning in September, when upwards of 80 students plus a few staff piled into couple of buses and began the journey to our geothermal wonderland. After a quick pit-stop in Matamata, we arrived in record time at the Kiwipaka Hostel, our home for the duration of our stay. All hopes of relaxation after the journey, however, were quickly dashed as we soon realised there was to be no rest for the wicked. And very, very wicked we must have been, for the next few days were filled with non-stop activity. The rest of Wednesday aftrenoon was comprised of visits to Whakarewarewa - the NZ Maori Arts and Crafts institute and geothermal reserve - and a tour of the Rotorua Bath House Museum. We returned to Kiwipaka in time for a lecture on Tourism Development in Rotorua and that evening set off to Tamaki Village for a Hangi and Concert, which was amazing. We were divided into tribal groups according to our bus allocation, with Mr VK and Mr Hornblow managing to gain Rangatiratanga (chieftainship) during the course of a 20-minute bus trip! Mr Hornblow even acquired a new name which our driver thought would better befit his new chiefly status "Piripi". After a fabulous meal and entertainment, we returned to Kiwipaka for the night. Thursday proved to be at least as busy as the day before. After an early morning wake up call, followed by breakfast and a lecture on Planning and Environmental issues, we were on the road again by 10.30am. Our destination: Wai 0 Tapu geothermal reserve, home to the Lady Knox geyser and a large quantity of pungent, boiling mud. Lunch was next, followed by a trip to Rotorua airport and then a guided tour of either the Novotel or Rydges Hotel. Then we took it to the streets, pounding the pavement and
V ioe:
pestering passersby for their Lakeland Queen cruise views on tourism in Rotorua. Just after 4pm, we all crowded back into the buses for a guided tourism development tour with Jocelyn Wood, then it was back to Kiwipaka for dinner (yes, it was fairly average) and another lecture. While the evening was spent completing fieldwork assignments, Gnatt and I undertook to conduct our own investigation on the impact of tourism on Rotorua's nightlife.... Friday dawned cold and drizzly, but this had little effect on our spirits as we set out for a breakfast cruise aboard the Lakeland Queen. It was great, but by far the best thing about this was that there was plenty of coffee to be had by all. And I got a birthday cake. Next came a wet tour around Rainbow Springs and then a farm show at Rainbow Farm, where Blair was the proud recipient of a very special gift from Ben the Bull...Finally we arrived at Skyline Skyrides where we had lunch, more fieldwork, and, of course, the luge experience. I must say here there was some concern at the lack of co-ordination of some members of our group, which was manifest in the disproportionate number of bailings they experienced. I won't mention any names...Brooke and Mr VK. The bus trip home was interesting, at least it was from where I was sitting. Most of the back half of the bus was asleep, tired out from an eventful 3 days. Unfortunately, A.J., Ben Wilson, Asher and Chris Garton were still wide-awake and their main bus trip objective was usually to torment Miss Cox. Unfortunately, Miss Cox had departed for Taupo earlier and so they turned their attentions to Gnaft, me, and the long-suffering Piripi. Luckily, the bus driver was just as time efficient on the way home as he'd been on the way there, so everyone came out with all their body 59
parts intact. In all, it was a fabulous trip with an awesome group of people: students, staff, tour guides, bus drivers, hairdressers from Gisborne (never mind)...And as well as being a lot of fun, it also allowed the students to put into practice and see first hand the theory work they'd learned in class. It was a valuable experience for everyone involved.

Y13 PORT WAIKATO
Last minute instructions
It was late in Term 1, a hazy, hot, dreamy memory. Actually it was quite cool, threatening rain and windy as. The Year 13 Geographers, Mr VK, Mr Hornblow and Miss Cox and a few other hangers on, took our annual pilgrimage to the sparkling, refracting waters of Port Waikato. Over the next six hours we traversed dune blowouts and climbed rotationally slumped cliff faces. We negotiated ancient (No I wasn't talking about Mr Hornblow) greywacke stacks and explored weathered cliff debris. We threw (no not students - they wouldn't let us) lemons in the water and walked and walked and walked and then walked all the way back again. We measured longshore drift, wave angles, cliff angles, dune profiles, wind speed and just about Linden shOwing how anything that could r be measured. We had "sand" in the sandwiches, stunning two metre plunging mi rip curl surf, samurai warriors with broken I: rulers fighting to the death in narrow dune c corridors, spaghetti tangles of string and misplaced levels and screamed instructions lost in the wind (from the SW of course). At the end of the day two very sleepy, snoozy, Y11 Geo busloads of fine young people wombled home satisfied that they had mastered the intricacies of coastal processes. Time will te11,1111 The Year 11 Geographers took their annual pilgrimage to Mr Reeves' Dairy Farm in Karaka and the Rotowaro Coal Mines again this year. As we boarded the buses and settled in for our journey ahead, many were only equipped with their classroom knowledge, having never set foot on a Dairy Farm let alone a coal mine. But after a day of cows, paddocks, effluent, silage, mud, trucks and coal, we stepped off the bus as enlightened folk - able to attack any School Certificate question! Over the two days we experienced every possible weather situation. However this merely added to the fun of especially the Dairy Farming experience. Those white sneakers will never, ever be the same again!

To complete the fieldwork component for the year we spent a fantastic morning atop of Mangere Mountain. It was a sight to behold. 180 school kids bounding up the mountain with a vigour never quite seen before - measuring, sketching and cross sectioning. All in all marvellous time was had by all students, staff and mountain! 60
The Manurewa High School
The Mighty Waihitix It was that time of the year again. Eighty five students and four keen and enthusiastic staff boarded two buses and headed for deepest, darkest, Waharau and the legendary Waihihi River / Stream I Trickle???? Rumours from previous years had students on edge about the truckloads of work they would be expected to do ............. and they weren't wrong .............. Every morning the kitchen staff were greeted with bright eyed and bushy tailed geographers but by the time they returned from eight hours in the field, almost everyone was in need of one of Miss Cox's infamous 'cups of tea and a lie down'. During the day, students worked in groups formulating hypotheses about the mighty Waihihi River and then tested them in the field. It involved submerging legs (if not other parts of the body) into crisply, cool water and measuring rock size, depth. velocity, cross sectional area and much, much more. At night (and sometimes into the early hours of the morning) the data collected was analysed, THUVUKIy correct graphs were constructed, and conclusions made. Phewwwwww! What a lot of work! Those rumours weren't wrong. Our thanks must go to Miss Faulkner who was an absolute whiz in the kitchen (whipping up scones for afternoon tea and scrumdiddleyumptious meals never heard of or seen before on geography camp), and to Miss Briggs and Mr Hornblow who 'go all loopy' with a lack of sleep. Good luck to next years Year 12. WAHARAU rocks! (hee hee hee)

YEAR 13 HISTORY TRIP TO THE NORTHERN WAIKATO written by General Kyle McFarlane of the Manurewa Redoubt
"In March of 2000, we all had to go along with Mr. Voisey to the mighty Waikato We took along our cellphones and we got aboard the bus And when we stopped on Great South Road, the cars all laughed at us." (with apologies to Johnny Horton and Howard Morrison). On the first of March, a miscellaneous collection of Year Thirteen History students, herded like sheep by Messrs Voisey and Finlay, took a day off from school to cruise around the Northern Waikato and eat lunch in JenniferAnn.com (formerly Pokeno). Oh yes, and to learn a little more about our cultural heritage, by investigating the New Zealand Wars. Unfortunately, the trip fell on free text message Wednesday, and several students barely lifted their thumbs from the keypads on their mobiles. It was pointed out to me that the frequent useful bits of information shouted at us over the drone of the coach would be better distributed by sending text messages. But I digress. We visited a vast number of historic sites, beginning in what was virtually our own back yard. We took almost forever to reach our first stop - the military milepost at 88 Great South Road, just down the road from TMHS. We progressed to a number of churches - St. John's at Drury, St. Bride's at Mauku, and the Pukekohe East Church. These provided a valuable insight into the ideas, lives and religion of both early New Zealand settlers, and to the Roman Catholic Church, a very useful aid in our other topic of study, Tudor and Stuart England. And then there were the redoubts. We had been warned by last years' seventh form that there were "millions of [expletive removed] redoubts" to be seen; we only came across one. We were all greatly amused by Mr. Finlay's animated role-play of a British soldier watching
for Maori warriors, and how one shoots along a redoubt. Then, back on the bus in search of new things. The frog-march up to the Mount William lookout absolutely destroyed several of us, and our sadistic warders allowed us only a few brief moments of rest at the top before sending us back to our tiny airconditioned cell... I mean, coach. For some reason or other, we then walked up another hill, and some members of the party were so... shall we say, fitness deficient... that they had to be carried. As we returned to the bus, more confused than ever -
After a brief re-enactment, wherein poor Linden was slaughtered, attempted to enlighten my slightly slower classmates on what the order of battle was. Of course, I got the whole thing hopelessly wrong, owing completely to the fact that I had my map upside down, wrong way round, and inside out. Then, back - again! to the bus, and on to our final stop the food court at Pukekohe. After a mesmerising dinner, we returned to Manurewa, satisfied, and happy to be released from our prison-on-wheels, off home to write our essays (Ha!), review our notes
Array Hughes, Dane Pace, Julia Brown and Asher Finiayson
"Why did we climb that hill?" - we came across a student taught by Kommandant Voisey back in the old days. After marvelling at what a small world it was, it was back on the bus and off to our next port of call. After climbing some more hills and looking at more fascinating historical stuff, we arrived at our penultimate destination - Rangiriri. After a decent cup of char in the tearooms, we went off to the actual site of the battle. 62
(Ha! Hal), and thank Mr. Voisey and Mr. Finlay for giving up their valuable time for us (Ha! Hal Hal) NB: I take no responsibility for the accuracy of this article. Mr. Voisey and Mr. Finlay are both quite nice guys, and the bus wasn't that bad. It's just poetic license. Although it's not technically poetry. But I'm the writer and you're not, so don't complain!

Christian Fellowship Christian Fellowship has had a very active year 2000. The beginning of the year bought with it change when it was decided that it would become a student led group, under the supervision of Mr Voisey and our school chaplain Mrs Miller. Throughout the year the leadership team, which included Jennie Papesh, Rachel Booth, Alualumoana Sio, and James Hinton, organised an exciting program. This included games and activities that have built friendships and unified the group. We were very grateful for the support we received from students and staff, when raising funds for the hostages in Peru. Although many of the meetings were
taken by students within the group, we were also visited by a series of people, including local youth pastors, youth teams, and Johnny Lee Clary. However the highlight of the year would have to be our Easter Assembly, where we enacted the crucifixion of Jesus and performed a dance to the song "More than 17 We would like to acknowledge the many people who assisted with the preparation for the drama both on and off stage, especially Mr and Mrs Miller, Raechel Fuimaono, and Mr Voisey. Overall it has been an exciting year, where every member has gained
63
something as a result of being part of the group. I would like to thank Mr Voisey and Mrs Miller for their guidance, and the support the leadership team has provided me with throughout the year. I have enjoyed my year as chairperson of Christian Fellowship, and would like to wish everyone all the best for next year. Amy Hughes Chairperson 2000

ESOL/ASIAN CLUB 2000 Well over sixty members of diverse Ethnic cultures, enjoyed three very successful club trips this year. For the outsider, its interesting to see the different cultures interacting through the common medium of English. With the Olympic games so near and our hopes so high in the equestrian events, it was wonderful to see the same concentration and effort being displayed by club members as they rode, some for the first time, over a Clevedon farm through bush and rough terrain. In spite of the very showery weather, spirits soared as high as tile flying fox, which was another fun activity of the students. For the two teachers present, the barbeque in a large barn was a welcome respite from the elements. The club has had over the years, a number of activities, come into, and go out of, favour. At the moment, as well as the Sunshine Ranch visit, there was a very successful Totara Park barbeque and an evening at the Aquatic Park, both enjoyed immensely. Each year there is considerable debate and lobbying as to what the three activities should be. They each seem to be enjoyed so much, that it comes as a surprise sometimes, when one of them gets replaced.
Because of the popularity of the club, the senior students, through their participation, do dominate what is happening. Maybe some consideration could be given next year, to allowing younger students, to choose and maybe organise, one of the activities. This year's President, Hang Pham, Secretary, Mark Huynh and an able group of Committee Members, including Maggie Tang, Neelam Patel, James Chan, Visa! Key, Kinie Choi, Dania Cheng, Kelvin Kam, Newman Li and Tony Trieu, proved to be a responsible group, who not only enthusiastically organised the trips, but also rostered themselves to watch over the computers in L4 during intervals and lunchtimes, thus enabling students to have the privilege of being allowed to stay in the classroom then. Unfortunately, because of the huge numbers wanting to take advantage of this, this privilege had to be limited during the second half of the year, to Seniors only. Our thanks to Mrs Taylor, Mrs Lal, Nurse Pritchard and Mr Smith who helped with some of the trips.

The new millennium saw some significant changes to the Homai Visual Resource Room. In July of this year The Manurewa High School took over full responsibility for the Resource Room which had previously been part of Homai Vision Education Centre. This was marked by a name change that more accurately describes the function of the Resource Room - the Vision Resource Centre. With the introduction of Special Education 2000, the Vision Resource Centre has received a number of new enrolments during the year from all over New Zealand. The Resource Centre now supports 20 students, most of whom are low vision, and numbers look to be on the increase for next year. Pauline Mataio, a Year 12 student with low vision, was selected as part of the Cook Island Travelling Group who went to Rarotonga to perform at local schools. Mrs Yvonne Smith, a Resource Centre Teacher Aide, accompanied the group. It was a first visit for both of them and they thoroughly enjoyed the cultural experience. Fraser Marr, a Year 13 Resource Centre student with a hearing impairment, was selected for the Auckland Under 18 Rowing Team after participating in the New Zealand Championships. He has been rowing for only 3 years and has a bright future in this sport. Sadly for the staff and students in the Resource Centre, Mrs Donna Cox has announced her resignation. Mrs Cox has been a teacher in the Resource Centre for 10 years and prior to that taught English at The Manurewa High School. She has been a dedicated and respected member of the Vision Resource Centre staff and she will be sadly missed. Staff and students wish her all the best for the future.

Education Support Centre The Education Support Centre provides assistance for students who have some difficulties in the learning of academic subjects. Some students also face the challenge of a physical or senorial disability.
The Manurewa High School is a fund holder for special needs students. This has enabled us to build on specialised resources and equipment and this year we have increased support staff numbers so students receive greater one to one tuition and assistance.
The programmes offered in the Education Support Centre follow very closely those offered throughout the school. In addition a Skills for Living programme is available and the students also have the advantage of Work Experience in the community. This can lead to employment when the students leave school and is a wonderful opportunity for them. Our thanks must go to all those people who employ our students enabling the Work Experience programme to continue. Our thanks also for the support received from the Manukau Healthy Cities programme.
The highlight for the year 2000 was our participation in the Special Olympics in March where our students not only achieved fine results in many events but also showed true Olympic spirit with their positive attitude and determination to do their very best. Our weekly swimming programme at Homai National School for the Blind and Vision Impaired has also been voted as an activity enjoyed by everyone. Sadly, on the 2nd of July this year a valued staff member of the Education Support Centre passed away. Julie Lucas joined us in February 1998. Julie very quickly became part of the team supporting both teachers and students. In her

We are thankful for the help she gave us, taking us on trips, helping out with cooking and with our schoolwork. She did so much. We all will miss her heaps but we are lucky because we will keep all the good times that we shared together with Mrs Lucas with us for the rest of our lives. We will cherish the memories of her in our hearts."

1' Hola! My name is Alejandro Vergara, although most of the staff and students here at The Manurewa High School know me simply as Alex. I came to work with the Technology Department at the end of term three, 1999. In my job as Technician I have done many things, including the setting up of the Automotive Studies workshop in T8. I have also enjoyed refereeing for the junior girls' soccer team. I came to New Zealand from my country Uruguay in South America about 4 years ago. I attended the Universidad del Trabajo del Uruguay in Maldonado, and completed a degree in mechanical engineering. The schools here are very different from the ones at home. The students at The Manurewa High School are very lucky to have the excellent resources they have.

What Does a Food Product Launch Involve? This is what the Year 10 Food Technology students found out when they completed their Product Launch assignment. It began with an introduction from the Product Development Manager of Fruco Juice Company. She took us through the whole process and then it was our turn. We started off working in groups of 3-4 students. The first step was to brainstorm all the ideas of what we could make, for example muffins, slices, savouries, finger foods etc. The decision on what type of food to make was Mrs Dixon and Mr Evans sample the products! based mainly on the next step, which was finding out what our target market wanted. For this we designed the questionnaires and got our target group to complete it The survey gave us an idea of the most popular food. This enabled us to chose a suitable and practical recipe. Some of the considerations in recipe selection involved the availability of the ingredients, nutritious, eating needs, mass production and cost of the product. The important part of this launch was to make a packaging with the required information. To make sure the product was successful a number of taste tests, evaluations and adjustments (if required) to the recipe were made. Finally the day of the launch arrived- we each had a table in our school hall on which we displayed our packages of samples for the guests. Other Year 10 students were invited to view and taste our products. The most difficult task was taken care of by Mr Thomson and Mrs Dixon who were the main judges. They finally picked out the winners from the 6 different categories. All in all the Product Launch was a huge success and certainly an experience. Gemma Dickson - Year 10
PTA This small group of parents and teachers, dedicated to helping the school and also getting to know more about the way our school works, meets monthly in the staffroom. This year we have had staff speak to us about the role of Deans, Science Fair projects, the Careers Centre and the Technology department. The PTA has also been involved in some fundraising and has been able
to contribute to sports and cultural groups as well as some departmental spending. We have provided 'Electroflash" kits for the Science department, "Guess Who" games for the French Department and some new equipment for the Food Technology Department An important role of the PTA is providing the second-hand uniform shop as a service to parents and pupils. Major changes in the staffing 67
and the running of this shop have occurred this year and it is open Tuesday mornings during normal term time (except exam times) and extra hours in late January. Being a member of the PTA is an excellent way of contributing to the school and gaining a different perspective of school activities and we would like to encourage more parents to join our small friendly group.
