2014 Acknowledgements E ach year we celebrate a different theme from the five Marist Pillars: Simplicity, Family Spirit, Love of Work, In the Way of Mary and Presence. We would like to express our thanks to the many people who have shown Presence and patience in the production of this 2014 St Bernard’s College Yearbook.
This massive project was only made possible with excellent efforts of student designers Callum Bryan and Jacob Hawkins, especially for their page sub-editing, photography and co-ordinating the crowd-sourcing of student and staff support. A special mention of thanks to Mrs Elsabie Prasad and Mr Hart for students’ contributions and proof readers Ms Tara Quinney and Mrs Jean Howell for their eagle-eyed checking. We are also grateful to all of the photographers who have contributed images: Jacob Hawkins, Ms Christina Calcinai, Mr Christopher Hart, Mr Brenton Higson, Mr Perry Nicol, Mr David Sefton, Miss Emma Wallis and all the others who contributed pictures; to Duplico for our Ball photos, to WellingtonPhotography for the Volleyball photos and to InPhotography for the class, co-curricular and staff photographs. GraphicStock.com have also been invaluable.
Many thanks to Mr Panapa Lafoa’i for facilitating the use of his students’ artwork with their permission. The Marist Brothers for permission to use and adapt their logo.
Jannene Tomlinson (Sports Co-ordinator) and Mrs Kay Hudson (Admin) and the submitters of articles, materials and photos - staff, students, coaches, managers, Old Boys, Board of Trustees, parents, friends and supporters of the school. Thank you to Baseline Digital who have, in addition to sponsoring and printing the magazine, added their expertise to the cover with 3D inks. Lastly, an enormous “Thank You Kindly!” to Kris (my wife) and our kids: Lucas, Molly, Poppy & Jack for their patience with the lack of my Presence, when they were deprived of their Dad throughout the “holidays” whilst the magazine was being designed, proofed and prepared for print. Thank you to all of you for your contributions and feedback which add to the energy, variety and interest to the magazine. Without your work this would not have been possible.

EFFORT Nau mai, haere mai, mihi mai. Talofa lava, Malo ele lei, kia orana, kumusta, Malo ni, Greetings and welcome to everyone. Br Pat, Mrs Gordon, the Honourable Trevor Mallard, other distinguished guests, trustees, parents, staff and students, I am honoured to be a part of our academic awards giving ceremony.
T
he first thoughts that come to my mind are the scholarships, high distinctions, sporting and musical prowess and many other gifts and blessings that everyone here brings to St Bernard’s College. I congratulate all of you who have earned this year’s achievements. I also thank everyone especially those who contribute to the formation of our students in the Marist ethos of our college.
St Bernard’s is an excellent college. That is why you chose it and awards giving is a day and a way of celebrating how wonderful it is, even if not yet perfect. Of course, there are challenges and difficulties to face and disappointments from time to time. Education is a journey and a risk – a journey for young men into realising potential which brings about changes. There is always risk and uncertainty involved in the courage to change. We live in a generation that wants everything ready-made, off the shelf and instant. Education and realising potential are not off the shelf. Learning needs patience and determination and an ability to see below the surface and appearances of things. Schools are more like gardens than supermarkets. They are places of slow and hidden
growth. Sometimes it can seem so slow and so hidden, that we lose patience. We may even ask why we have Catholic schools at all. Catholic schools are a privilege and the results bear considerable fruits. Many of our students have strived to do their best to receive awards and they represent the true spirit of our college. It reflects their commitment and their attitude; a will to set themselves high goals and work to achieve these goals. Their successes also represent the high expectations of parents and teachers. For first-time award winners, the calling out of your name is a special moment. Others have worked hard but just missed out.
or player is what makes us push ourselves and achieve our full potential. We reward achievement, but we also recognise effort. Students feature in the awards list because they are successful through extensive effort. Karen Boyes, an educationalist, says that effort is the critical component in achievement and that we have control over effort through a mind-set of how success is gained. A growth mind-set means that teachers and parents must create a love of learning and ensure that developing resilience is high on their agenda. Learning to learn includes a willingness to fail, to make mistakes, and then be able to learn from these opportunities and experiences. This takes reflection and time. To learn to learn, one must know that is it hard to learn new information, new skills, and new ways of doing things. But the more we do it, the easier it gets. It would be helpful if teachers and parents stepped back and let the boys struggle and work it out for themselves. Many students do not try because a teacher or parent is constantly jumping in to rescue and help them. We need to showcase the effort and the time it takes to achieve not just the result. When praising students, we
“Look to the Star and
Call Upon Mary means we aim high and pray for Mary’s intercession and guidance
St Bernard’s College 2014
”
This would be disappointing, but I spare a special thought for you. Persevere, keep at it, raise your expectations, and make learning your top priority and next year you can be one of those receiving these awards. Although we all know that taking part is a key element in school events, team sports and life in general, doing well and being recognised as a top scholar, athlete
should praise their effort, concentration, their strategies and give them specific feedback about the next steps, goals and aims. Comments such as “Your persistence really paid off in completing your work today” are far more effective than “great work.” Another educationalist, Carol Dweck says “no matter what your ability is, EFFORT is what ignites that ability and turns it into an accomplishment.” Many of the achievements of the college are not of the kind that can be recorded in awards giving; they are the hidden, smaller achievements and maybe hardly worthy of note. But there are hidden gems, small acts of kindness shown to others and which have made a real difference to a fellow student on that particular day. Maybe our teachers and parents do not even know of them; maybe even the students have hardly noticed them. Each one of you is a valued and loved individual with the real potential to make a difference for good. There may not be an award for all these small and hidden things today. They are invaluable and will shape you and you will be rewarded now and in the future. “Look to the Star, Call upon Mary” is our motto. It calls us to aim high and pray for Mary’s intercession and guidance to overcome the obstacles that we meet in our everyday life. Persevering, when the odds are stacked against us due to distractions

Principal’s Report
Leadership
“The core business of learning is
to make the effort to finish school with qualifications to set you up for the next step. Catholic education is much more than that...
”
(like part-time work, social media surfing, sports, etc.), is what cuts us above the rest and that is when prayer to stay the distance is so critical. While St Bernard’s grows young men and invites them to live a balanced life, the core business of learning is to make the effort to finish school with qualifications that are going to set them up for the next step. Catholic education is, however, much more than that, as it prepares these young men for life. I say this directly to the students: if you gain all the awards on offer, but leave this College without encountering Jesus; if you do not live the Marist values of Presence, Simplicity, Love of Work, Family Spirit and In the Way of Mary, then you leave with nothing. While people assume and presume what the goals of a Catholic school are, the task of developing young men into witnesses of the faith is a formidable task. The Catholic bishops of New Zealand know this; principals of Catholic schools grapple with this; the parents, who send their sons to our school find it daunting; and the staff recognise the contradictory pressures of a faith-full life that has to compete against secular attractions. While it is not “cool” for many young men to show their faith publicly, I strongly believe that there is founded hope that the Gospel values come through in their everyday encounters and relationships.
4
The issue that challenges us mostly is their encounter with Christ, their definition of Church and their engagement with its institutional bodies and liturgical expressions. It is quite different from the previous generation. I suspect that my definition and how I engage Christ and the Church are also different from that of my parents. Yet, these young men choose to engage with the Church’s ministry of love/aroha; they idealistically stand for social justice and aspire for a world where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. They have to work out how “fairness and justice” fit in the Catholic belief that every individual is created in the image of God. Similarly, there are many other aspects relating to the word of God and celebrating the sacraments which they interpret differently. Pope Francis is a refreshing air, like Pope John XXIII and Paul VI before him. He talks about inclusiveness and calls us not to turn people’s situation into an academic debate or a measure of how Catholic are our young men. Our Catholic college is an opportunity to touch these people so that they may be blessed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. How do we move forward courageously? One of the things that I continually push for is a steadfast attitude (love of work) towards
learning and studying so that this is reflected in transformed grades and higher overall school achievement. We can gloat that we are performing better than other similar schools and that we have already reached the Ministry target of 85% NCEA Level 2 for our leavers. The educational endeavour wants us to take a good well-informed, hard long look at how we are progressing student learning. The issue we must face, however, is one that embeds a positive behaviour for learning in all our classrooms and a consistency across all teachers to expect high standards. A few years ago, I said that if we continue doing the same things, we will continue to get the same results. We must stop being risk averse and start addressing things differently, especially by continually reflecting professionally on the process and outcomes of our teaching. We also have to transform our curriculum that served our students well in the past, but now has to be more aligned with the knowledge, skills and competencies required for their future, based on vocational pathways and long term aspirations. “Family spirit” is what we build together. In this vein we need to prepare ourselves, students and teachers alike, for a whanau pastoral care re-organisation based on our House system. While there are risks, this is the road we will travel together. It is not doing away with the past. It is using past experience as the strong foundation for the future. We will develop a quiet sense of confidence in the road we are embarking on, respectfully supporting each other, trusting in God’s will and ensuring that our Catholic character is what makes us authentically distinct.
Finally – and not least – a word to teachers and all staff of St Bernard’s. Thank you. Caring for young people every day, every week, every month is very hard work and a genuine commitment to this responsibility makes it seem harder than ever. I am aware that a good deal is owed to the values you witness for these students. And of course, much more. To the Parents, Friends and Supporters, to the Māori whanau, to the Pasifika Parents Group, to all parents and many others, my gratitude for your ongoing support. To the Board, your encouragement is appreciated and to my senior leadership team – we would not be here without your commitment. I also want to mention my wife, whose support, love and generosity to my work has never wavered. In conclusion, I farewell Mr Mckay, Mrs Eickhorst-Squire, Ms Robinson and Ms Gallagher. In gratitude and humble acknowledgement I wish you the best in your wonderful and important direction that you have chosen to take. God bless you all. St Bernard’s Pray for us St Marcellin Pray for us St Mary Pray for us. May you all have a joyous and peaceful Christmas.

Board of Trustees’ Report
Nau mai Haere mai, Nga mihi ki a koutou katoa
G
ood evening - and welcome. On behalf of the St Bernard’s College Board of Trustees, I present the report for 2014.
Catholic Character
At the beginning of the year we welcomed Mrs Tara Quinney, who has made a very positive impact as the new Director of Religious Studies. She is ably assisted by Hamish Sutherland, and our Chaplain Anna-Marie Dickinson. Tara has demonstrated her organisational skills and, together, with the initiatives of Hamish, has been instrumental in maintaining and progressing the Catholic Character of St Bernard’s. We congratulate you and your team, Tara, and wish you many years of continuing to enhance the Catholic and Marist Character of our college.
Finance
Financially, overall, we are in line with both budget and predicted expenditure. An initial draft of the budget for 2015 has been completed, and this will be finalised in the New Year. We have also been advised that our Decile rating for St Bernard’s is now 6. It was previously 5. This means there will be a reduction to our Operations Grant by approximately $6,000.00 in 2015 and up to $17,000.00 by 2016. This will have a significant impact on our income. We must acknowledge Dominic Outtrim our Business Manager and his prudent management of the school finances.
Old Boys’ Association
We are delighted to advise the re-establishment of the St Bernard’s College Old Boys Association. At the Board meeting in July, the board members approved a motion: “That the Board approve the annual collection of a $40 Old Boys Association voluntary levy from all Year 9 to Year 13 students on behalf of the proposed St Bernard’s College Old Boys Association from 2015 forward.” Payment of this levy is while they attend the college and will give the students a lifetime membership to the Old Boys Association. However, for any Old Boys here tonight, you are very welcome to join and support this Association. It will be of benefit to you and your sons and grandsons in the future. I must acknowledge and give a huge thank you to James Nicolle, who is also the convenor of the
St Bernard’s College 2014
Finance Committee. James is an Old Boy himself and with great support from Br Doug Dawick, they have both been instrumental in re-establishing the Association. The Inaugural meeting was held on 28 October this year and was well supported with numbers.
PFS and MCDT
St Bernard’s is very well supported by the amazing team on the PFS. They contribute and give so much back to the college, providing additional opportunities and resources for the students which would not be possible otherwise. Please always continue to support this group of enterprising people. We also acknowledge the funds received from the Marist Community Development Trust, which also allows us to provide additional resources necessary to maintain the running of the college.
Property
2014 has been a year of what might have been in terms of property development at the College, with two major building initiatives. Firstly, the addition of four new classrooms to accommodate the 2015 roll increase, and secondly, the demolition and rebuilding of a substantial section of the main college block, both of which had been stalled. This was owing to the Archdiocesan reconfiguration of financial systems between the Archdiocese and the Palmerston North Diocese. However, the four new classrooms are to proceed, with work beginning in the new year. We must also acknowledge Dominic Outtrim and Terry Davis for the wonderful job they do of maintaining our buildings and grounds.
Curriculum policy and strategic planning
As part of our board meetings each month, and our subcommittee groups, we continue on with our Curriculum, Policy and Strategic Planning Review Cycle. As part of this review cycle we also invite and welcome the Heads of Departments on a 3 year rotation as a way of communicating and gaining feedback from all the Departments. This is a good forum for discussion on what improvements or changes they would like to make, or a “wish list” they may have, and how, or if, the board can be supportive of this. Not everything is possible, but it is always good to have the discussion.
Student Activities
There have been numerous sporting, cultural, academic and Catholic Character activities that the students have been involved with this year. For the size of our school and college, and the resources that we have, we have achieved very highly.
Leadership
New Starts Board Members
Not being an election year, the board members have remained the same. We did however have a change, with the annual Student Trustee elections. We welcomed Connor Bliss to the board, and he has immediately been proactive on behalf of the students. Sadly, with the election, we farewelled Daniel Raju, who was also a very good and proactive representative. Thank you to both Daniel and Conor for making the commitment to be a Student Trustee. I must acknowledge all board members for their commitment, but especially acknowledge Br Doug Dawick, our Deputy Chair, who is very sorry that he is unable to be here with us this evening, and also especially acknowledge Patricia Pynenburg, our Board Secretary.
Staff
Thank you to all staff for the wonderful work you have done again this year. Having been involved with the college for so many years, it is reassuring to know what a professional approach you continue to have, no matter what the situation.
Farewells
To all those staff who are leaving, we wish you all the very best. I must mention Mr Gerry McKay who is retiring. You will be missed.
Senior leadership team
With our Senior Leadership Team, we are fortunate to have a team that holds such a strong work ethic. Like any good business, when someone is unwell or away, everyone steps up, and in turn picks up additional duties, and that filters right through the college. Thank you for continuing to step up.
Principal
Our Principal Mr Fava was on sabbatical for one term. He returned and continued with another full and demanding year. His focus is always his passion for St Bernard’s College and what is best for the students. We could not wish for more and we would not want this to change.
Seasons Greetings
To our guest speaker, our special guests, and everyone here tonight, and to the families, friends and members in our community we wish you all a joyful and Holy Christmas and New Year. Tena koutou, Tena koutou, Tena koutou katoa Good Evening and Thank You

Leading Change “Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change we seek” Barack Obama
W
ise words from Barack Obama one of the most influential leaders of our time. Tonight is about celebrating all of the leaders you see sitting here in this room tonight and I have the privilege of speaking on behalf of those leaders. Firstly, I would like to give thanks in my speech. Secondly, I would like to present three key points about the journey at St Bernard’s and lastly I would like to present a challenge to the leaders of this College’s future.
Usually when the Head Prefect gets the honour of making a speech they would thank everyone at the end but I wanted to show recognition to all those who have played a part in our success from the very start. Firstly to the parents and care givers of the students, we thank all of you for the abundant support you showed right from the start, without you we literally would not be here! All the sacrifices you have made over the years to ensure we become the best possible young men in the world inspires us to become just that, thank you. To the teachers, thank you for giving to us your 100 percent commitment and dedication, the reason there is even an academic awards ceremony filled with so much success is because you continually push us beyond what we think we are capable of! You do a lot more than your job description requires you to and for that… although at times we may not show it… you have our un-dying thanks! To the Board of Trustees and PTFA I’d like to thank you on behalf of the students for truly caring about the development of St Bernard’s College as a whole, you are an integral part of this amazing school and I know that each and every one of you on puts your heart and soul into this College. Personally there are a couple of people I would like to thank for shaping and moulding me into a smart, capable young man here at my time in St Bernard’s College. And because of this they ensured that I would be up here on this stage today. So, I am going to-take-full –ad-van-tage of this opportunity. To Ms. Taylor and Mrs. Uili my intermediate teachers, thank you for installing in me the standards and expectations at St Bernard’s College which I carried with me in all seven years. To Mr. Paul Fairfield who although has left the school I want to thank him for giving me the courage to be a leader. To Mr. Fava, Mr. Sefton and Mrs. Thompson thank you for giving not only myself but all my year 13 peers the opportunity to be the leaders of 2014. To the Leadership team, thank you for helping me along this journey
6
and especially to my two main men Jacob and Nathan! Thanks for having my back through all the ups and downs this year! The BIG 3 sure did leave their mark! To a lady who has constantly pushed me to be better each and every day and who has done everything in her power to help me, Mrs. Shill, thank you for being my guardian angel and throughout the years. I hope you and your family are blessed with health and happiness. To my family, Mum and Dad! Wow! Who would of thought? I actually finished school! That’s one down and two to go! But in all seriousness thank you for everything, for being my first teachers, the people who believed in me from the word go. I am truly blessed to have parents like you! I only wish that one day I could repay half the debt I owe to you! I have close to 600 brothers at this school but there are two who I just so happen to share blood with! Noah and Nicholas, thank you for putting up with me not only this year but all of our years together. I’m not going to lie you guys really know how to annoy me at times but you also know how to be the best team mates in the world! I love you all and I couldn’t have asked for a better family. As those who have come forward on the stage have explained, it is about celebrating the success of our students tonight but in order to gain success you must first go through a journey, For some of us it was seven years ago but for most of us, five years ago was when we began this amazing journey at 183 Waterloo Rd. To put ninety 13 year old boys together and hope they’ll form a strong bond is a challenge especially because you’re hoping for them to be more than just friends and peers, you’re hoping that they
“You don’t need a
badge to be a leader will become brothers. At first, the growing process was hard, we were all trying to figure out how to become a part of this school but with the help of those people who I showed thanks to and our older Bernard’s brothers we soon united as one. In your journey at St Bernard’s you experience all the highs and lows just as normal college would, except the highs vastly outweigh the lows. When we all come out together as a school, we come out in force. As a junior when you’re young, seeing this for the first time whether it was school assembly, where a royal blue tide would make it’s way into this magnificent hall which doubles as a gym… or Athletics day, where competition and winning is the goal but it is done with camaraderie and laughter.
When all of us boys unite there is this ultimate sense of euphoria… no matter what! You feel like you belong here. As a senior, you have the privilege of getting to be a part of organising the magic and no doubt I have many amazing memories from this year but one that will forever be engraved in my memory bank is this year’s St Bernard’s Day. Everything was just another level up this year, the pride and passion from Marcellin, Chanel, Ignatius and Pompallier was at all-time high! Chants were being sung louder, banners were being lifted higher and laughter and enjoyment never seemed to cease. On days like that you wish your time here would never end. But of course, change is inevitable! Change is a constant happening, and whether we know it or not, we can all adapt. At the start in 2010 we thought adapting to become St Bernard’s men was going to be the hardest part of being at this school, little did we know… saying goodbye to our five years would be the hardest change we would face in our young lives. As leaders this year the class of 2014 got together and made a pact. We were the example and we wanted to set one which we would all be proud of. Throughout my time here if there is one thing that will stick with me from all of Mr. Fava’s speeches it would be his belief that we could all reach the highest peak of success. He would usually put it in this kind of metaphor: “Aim for the stars! And even if you fall short at least you’ll be on top of the world” The aim this year was just that, reach new heights, experience greater success and do it all together as Bernard’s men. It was at our year 13 retreat we decided this. One of our teachers said I would know, standing up here today. I would know if we had delivered on our promise… and I can safely just by all the great memories created this year I know 100 percent that we delivered.
”
If you only take one thing away from my words tonight let it be this, you don’t need a badge to be a leader, you show others by not only your words but your actions. Who says you just have to be good at rugby? Why can’t you be excellent in the class as well? Who says you have to settle for a Merit when a bit of extra work will get you an Excellence. You all are leaders some of you just don’t know it yet. I read somewhere that leaders realise that progress will come, it may be slow, it may even be after your time but to be a great leader knows that progress comes when you give

SBC Old Boys’ Association
There is something at St Bernard’s, something we’ve always had but never really known it was our greatest strength! That something is Brotherhood. My Father came back from the first Academic Awards he ever attended and said to me; “I can feel it! This awesome passion you guys have when you’re wearing that uniform, I don’t know what it is but I can feel it” And it’s true! When we wear that uniform we feel an ultimate sense of pride of passion, of doing right by not only your brothers but your friends and family. Whether it be out on the sports field or in the class room I consider those before me and all of you sitting here in front of me my brothers and I thank you for sharing this journey with me! Today I stand before you as Head Boy of St Bernard’s College. Tomorrow, I’ll be just another young man beginning the next steps on the journey of life! Five years ago my father said to me this day would come in the blink of an eye. I thought then this was a way of keeping me in school! And as much as I wish he wasn’t right… Dad! This day really did come in the blink of an eye. So our time as leaders has come and gone, and we know that a change for the better is happening our challenge to the leaders of the future is this. Aim high, achieve greater feats, give this change more momentum and if you are ever lost on this amazing path as a leader at St Bernard’s College remember these words; “RESPICE STELLAM VOCA MARIAM” Look to the stars and call upon Mary. Don’t ever feel as if you have to do it alone, you have 600 brothers behind you every step of the way, not to forget about the teachers who will always give you their time and support. You are the future and you are the change you seek! Your time starts now! Thank you, Nathan Lindstrom Headboy 2014

Our
St Bernard’s Men Reconnect
O
n the 30th of October old boys from across the generations gathered at St Bernard’s with the express purpose of reestablishing the St Bernard’s College Old Boys’ Association. A great night was had by all who attended and at the end of the evening an executive committee had been formed and the Old Boys’ Association was reborn. The officers of the Association are: Murray Charlesworth - Treasurer, Fintan Devine - Secretary and Jim Nicolle President. They are ably assisted by an executive committee comprising Dominic Outtrim (representing the Principal), Br Doug, Mark Keating, Josh Galuszka, Dominic Hayden, Jamie Bradley, Chris Hosnell, and Michael Johansson. 2015 promises to be an exciting time as Old Boys start to reconnect with the College and mix with classmates from their secondary school years. Apart from the social activity the Old Boys’ Association has a strong ethos of giving back to the College. Twenty Five percent of the membership contribution goes to the Marist Memorial Life Start Scholarship fund. These scholarships, in memory of Marist Brothers who have taught at the College and are now deceased, will be awarded to boys who are leaving the college to begin the next stage of their life journey. Mentoring of students and work placement opportunities are two other activities the Old Boys hope to kick off in 2015. Keep your eyes open in 2015 as we
hope to see more old boys active in college life. From 2015 current students have the opportunity to contribute a yearly membership contribution of $40 during their time at the College as part payment of a lifetime membership of the Old Boys’ Association once they leave the College. This is a great way to ensure that students don’t lose contact with friends and classmates when they leave After all, the people we learned with and learned from, and the place where we ‘learned for life,’ have a profound impact on the men we are today. Growing the membership and retaining members is a key focus of the Association. The executive is very aware of the need to engage with current students, particularly leavers, to ensure the Association remains relevant to current and past generations of old boys. We want to make sure they all have the opportunity to renew old friendships and make new ones with other Old Boys who share a common educational heritage. “Look to the Star and Call Upon Mary” Jim Nicolle President SBC OBA Facebook: SBC Old Boys http://tinyurl.com/SBC-Old-Boys #SBC183

Leadership
Staff Welcome
Staff Here this Year Greg Bourke
Greg comes from Palmerston North and recently taught at FAHS Feilding High School. He has a background in agriculture and research science. Here he has joined the Science department where he teaches Science and Chemistry. Most of all, he is enjoying the opportunity to work in a Catholic school. Greg has had a great year and has topped it off with marriage.
Peter Crisp
Peter taught Music from the start of the year while Mrs McIntyre was on leave. He has greatly enjoyed his time at SBC and we have appreciated his dedication and enthusiasm. He says, “Only the future can tell whether I’ll return in 2015 in a relieving role, which I’d look forward to, or gain a full permanent role - which would be nice.”
Katrin Eickhorst-Squire
“I came to NZ in 1998 from Germany, via London and Edinburgh. As a classical musician for over 30 years, I travelled the world. I raised twins – now two awesome young adults! - and now teach Music, German and Religious Studies. As my compatriot Hermann Hesse said: “A magic dwells in each beginning, protecting us, telling us how to live”. I have seen many new beginnings, and in this one at SBC there has been new learning every day. Magic moments are the smiles from students brightening dark winter days, spontaneous offers to help, and inspiring thoughts and contributions to class discussions. Thank you all.”
Vicki Foss
Vicki has business marketing experience and has taken the helm of Mrs Nicola Grant’s duties in Gateway, the Uniform Shop and main office administration. She has also showcased her design skills with the new and improved school newsletters.
Ellan Gallagher “Last year I taught at Samuel Marsden Collegiate and was at Tauranga Girls’ College before that, so this is my first year working with boys. I have loved getting to know the students here and have been regularly delighted with their quick wits and sharp senses of humour as well as their politeness to me in the hallways or around school. I have been teaching English, French and Religious Studies at Years 9 and 10 but have had the opportunity to work with students across a range of year levels as I also did regular relief throughout the year. A highlight for me this year has been being able to go on both the Year 9 and Year 10 retreats and get to know the students outside of the classroom.”

David McVay
David arrived in 2013 and taught Science while Mrs Langford was on maternity leave. He will be fondly remembered for his lunchtime model making club. An opportunity arose at HVHS and David moved on with a fond farewell.
Pauline O’Leary Pauline is a versatile teacher who has been warmly received by the boys in the variety of roles she has filled. Initially she took over from Mrs Lomax’s Pacific Studies and Gateway, whilst she was on sabbatical, then she filled in for Ms Thorn arrived and then in Term 4 she turned her hand to Food Technology.
Aimee O’Sullivan We welcome Aimee to Marcellin. She has come up from the south. She loves the Wellington wind as it’s a change from the Southern Alp’s chill. Her warm, vibrant and enthusiastic approach mean she is really looking forward to teaching the Year 7-8 boys.
Tara Quinney
“I have come from Verdon College in Invercargill which also has a Marist Brothers charism and where I was head of Social Sciences. The students here have made me feel very welcome as a new DRS and they have impressed me immensely with their willingness and courage to participate in so many of the Catholic character activities available to them. I have also enjoyed co-ordinating the many basketball teams we have here and look forward to continuing see the boys potential improve and see them move into the premier grades.”
Leigh Rangiwhetu Leigh is an old boy of SBC and has come from Naenae Intermediate. He returned to take up the position of Head of Junior Studies. He has left us to take up a position at Randwick School.
Hayley Robinson
“I have previously taught at Naenae College and I taught at St Bernard’s in a maternity cover role for Anna Langford for the last three terms of 2014. I have loved the collegiality and care that underpin the St Bernard’s College experience. I will miss the enthusiasm many of the students show for Science and wish them well in the future. Ngā mihi nui.”
Rochelle Thorn
Rochelle was appointed as the new HOD Junior Studies from Term four of the 2014 academic year, having moved from the deep south where she had been working at Roxburgh Area School in Central Otago. Wellington is not new to Rochelle as she Background flax image courtesy of: http://flaxweaving.wordpress.com/
had previously worked at St Mark’s Church School in Wellington City. After a hectic Term four she is very much looking forward to a fresh start in 2015, where she will be continuing her work in Junior Studies as well as working in the English Department.
Emma Wallis
“I’m a second year teacher who trained in Canterbury. I love how the boys are so active and always doing something. Two highlights of this year would be: convening Water Polo and travelling with the junior team at the beginning of the year and a boy chasing me with a bug. It wasn’t fun at the time but I definitely can’t remember that without a big smile. This year has provided lots of good memories.
Annabelle McIntyre Annabelle has made a wonderful contribution to the Music departmant, not least leading the singing with her superb voice. She is now taking a career break, gracing the guests of the Wellington luxury cruise liners with her dulcet tones.
Fr Elmer Iberra
Philipino Father Elmer was well liked by the staff and students who appreciated him always visiting on a Friday lunchtime to hang out with the students. Our loss in Australia’s gain as he has decided to cross the ditch to manage vocations to the priesthood in Sydney. He will stay in touch via Facebook.
Ripudaman Kanwal
Mrs Kanwal came to us from Naenae College and taught Food Technology and was widely regarded as a ninja master of pasta. We wish her well with her retirement and return to India.
Gerry McKay
Our Scottish economist has taught at Heretaunga, St Catherine’s and Upper Hutt Colleges. Over his 40 year career he has contributed a great deal to SBC: as branch chair of PPTA, organiser of the Young Enterprise YES programme, taught Economics, was HOD of Social Studies, ran the Amazing Race and he coached senior football to success. Gerry has now retired and is taking a well earned rest travelling overseas.
Kerry Rubick
Our lovely librarian Kerry was well versed in all things technical. Sadly, Kerry has moved down the road to Taita College to take charge of their Library and Information Centre and pass on her expertise. We wish her well for the future as she starts a new chapter of her career.

Staff Farewell
An Ode to Margaret Gardiner DEDICATED YEARS OF SERVICE TO SBC - 18/5/1988—15/5/2014 Dear Margaret, dear Margaret, what will we do? The school office just won’t be the same without you! When new families come through the front door you’re the first person they meet A smile, reassurance you give to those that you greet. Unless you are late, in trouble or hurt Then we get the stern face which we deserve. But we’re praised when we’re good, and praised when we’re smart And you’ve always been there from day one when we start.
You’re even leaving with 130 sick days up your sleeve! Your connection to St Bernards goes way back –which is cool As your husband and son both went to our school. You even called your son Bernard –which is going too far! Working for three Principals: Brother Terence, Brother Dennis and Mr Fava.
I’ve been told a few stories which I’d like to share Of what you have done in the time you’ve been here. No one is sure of your correct starting date But I believe it was sometime in nineteen eighty eight. You started typing part time in some office upstairs Became Secretary to the Board for which you volunteered. In nineteen ninety three you moved downstairs to be Brother Terence’s College Secretary. And there you have stayed for 21 years Helping thousands of students who all know that you care. You are kind, loyal and friendly with nothing left to achieve
I
t was like a bolt from the blue the day that Margaret Gardiner our long serving School Secretary said she was ‘retiring’ and handed in her notice. Initially we didn’t really know what to do or say but then we were just
St Bernard’s College 2014
so happy for Margaret, that she knew it was her time to enjoy some well earned retirement. From there it was a hectic schedule of farewells for Margaret such was and is her influence at St Bernard’s. For over 25 Years, Margaret started on 18th May 1988, just as the
You helped run the successful popular Old Boys Association But Higher Authority moved you from that station. It’s now defunct, finished and not running at all No more friendships are rekindled, no St Bernard’s men call. But maybe one day it will rise again And we’ll hear the sweet sound of the St Bernard’s refrain. Margaret you are honest and caring, loyal and fun And would do anything to help anyone On behalf of my family, the teachers and the boys Enjoy your retirement, and the peace with no noise. Dear Margaret, dear Margaret what will we do? The school office just won’t be the same without you! by Matt Dicken Headboy 2013
‘Tomorrows Schools’ was being launched. What change she must have seen during her 25 years. She truly was the face of St Bernard’s, that first port of call, initial contact with the College. Enjoy your retirement Margaret!

PFS 2014 T
he 2014 PFS committee once again enjoyed the camaraderie and challenges of organising activities and events which help raise funds for the school. This year our aim was to raise money towards eventually providing a suitable outdoor covered area where the boys can still congregate and play on wet days. The Year7/8 and 9 dances are always good fundraisers with the boys enjoying an even r Pete St from ing socialising with the girls & Pauls & Sacred Heart. A lot of effort goes into ensuring the hair and attitude is just right! The 2nd hand uniform shop was well run and stocked by Tania Clark and this year we contributed $1,000 towards new books and magazines for the library.

Group and Brew’d Bar. Thanks to Cycle Science for donating a mountain bike which we raffled along with the many spot prizes helping us raise a total of $4,200 on the night.
The annual Garage Sale in November was once again well supported by parents and students. Thanks to Patricia Pynenburg for donating a beautifully iced Christmas Cake as the main prize in the raffle and to Felicity Hislop for arranging the Christmas grocery baskets that made up another 6 prizes. Sadly we are losing 3 long standing members of the committee- Tania Clark, Karen McAuliffe and Virginia Dicken and I thank them for all the hard work they have put in over the years while their boys have been at SBC. Felicity Hislop, Jun Templonuevo, Kirsty Georgeson & Allan Smith all have boys in the junior school and we look forward to a long association with them on the PFS. Elizabeth Josephson.

T
his year’s team of 14 participants and 10 initiates travelled to St John’s College in Hastings on the weekend of the 14th-16th May. The beautiful weather and the early morning start meant we could stop at the Southern Star Abbey at Kopua for lunch and learning on the way up.
Once we arrived in Hastings the first night was spent putting the final touches on speeches and performances as it was an early start the next day with a Powhiri for all 17 schools. The first event was debating with our team of Liam McAuliffe, Arama Pou and Joseph Schuchmann up against St Patrick’s Silverstream. Both sides spoke eloquently and with confidence. Impromptu Speaking was straight after that where Itai Mumwiro had 5 minutes to prepare a speech on what the world will be like in 2114. After lunch Jacob Netzler represented us in oratory with an eight minute speech that brought the house down. Thomas Mingins also represented us very well in the junior prepared speech with a speech on sugar. After a long day we met up with a team from St Peter’s Palmerston North, another Marist school, for a pizza dinner before jumping back into the vans to watch all 17 schools perform their religious drama. Our team of Junior Lauofo, Andy Su, Harry Bramwell, Nate Lindstrom, Liam McGill and Steven Clark coached by Jean Howell and Petra Jaeger-Letts made us very proud with their polished acting skills and thought provoking religious message. The next morning it was another early start to get Ben Van Woerkom to the holding room for Scripture Reading.
24
Unfortunately for him he was one of the last students to read so he spent over two hours nervously waiting before his turn in the chapel. However it was well worth the wait with Ben receiving the top score of a 6 for his exemplary reading. Sr Trish who gave up weeks of her time to coach him was extremely proud. Last but not least our Religious Questions team under the guidance of Br Kieran were up against some tough questions on Pope Francis’ latest encyclical on the joy of the Gospel. They answered all questions with confidence and their understanding of the documents was obvious to all.
We came 12th overall with a point score of 31. The winning team of St Catherine’s received a score of 38. The team represented our school with pride and the many hours they gave up to practice really paid off. A special thanks to all of the coaches and the adults who came along to support and care for the students by giving up their weekend in particular Sue McNab, Br Kieran and Chris Duthie-Jung.

n Tuesday the 5th of August some of our year 13 leaders attended the poverty forum that was held at the Anglican Cathedral of St Paul’s and hosted by their Bishop and our Catholic Archbishop John Dew.
Special Character
They were there to learn about the Christian perspective on poverty and listen to ministers of parliament give the viewpoints for their parties. They were then invited to stay with a hundred other young people just about to turn the voting age for discussion and activities related to poverty in our society. It was a wonderful opportunity to be exposed to the key note speakers and to ask them questions.
Reading the Heart of Learning
D
uring term three volunteer Year 12 and 13 students visited the primary students at Sacred Heart Petone every Thursday lunchtime to play games with them and help out in their school garden. The boys give up their lunchtime to spend time with the students and tell them what it is like to go to school at St Bernard’s. Two of our year 13 students who are past pupils of Sacred Heart were also invited to an assembly for Duffy books. Mark Capinpin and DJ Pereira spoke at the assembly about the importance of reading when you get to high school and what it takes to be a leader. They were then presented with Duffy books of their own to take home.

St Marcellin Champagnat Feast Day
O
n Friday 6th of June we celebrated the feast day of the founder of the Marist Order beginning with a special prayer event organised by Special Character Captain, Arama Pou. Arama put together a prayer and reflection hour based on St Marcellin’s life. He also organised this so it could be sent out to all of our Marist brother and sister schools around New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa and Kiribati and prayed at the same time together. Students, teachers, Marist brothers from The Grove and Trafalgar Street and Archbishop John Dew attended.
26
Later that day we celebrated Mass with Fr England and Fr Elmer. It was Fr Elmer’s last Mass with us so it was also a special occasion to say goodbye to him and wish him well in his future journeys. After Mass the Marist Brothers provided a light lunch to share with St Bernard’s staff. The day had a real festival spirit about it and Marcellin house were dressed in mufti in celebration of their founder. The following morning there was also a special Mass at St Peter’s and Paul’s to continue the festivities. Ben Van Woerkom represented the school by reading at the Mass.

SBC Young Vinnies M y name is Benjamin DuthieJung, and I am a Special Character Captain at St. Bernard’s. Working alongside me is Ben Van Woerkom, Nathan Russell and Arama Pou. We also work as leaders of our own areas but come together to lead the Young Vinnies initiatives at our school. Some of these include:
We held a can drive with each of our school houses to promote awareness of the poverty that so many people in our own communities live in. By the end of this year we aim to provide upwards of 1000 cans to the local food bank. This year a new topic has been introduced into the intermediate school, focused solely around social justice. This topic is planned to become a permanent part of the curriculum for all new students. We also have started an initiative where Year 12 & 13 students attend these classes once a week, to be a pillar for the younger ones, answering any questions or queries they have on anything, but especially social justice. This not only raises awareness in the younger kids, setting a tone of service throughout the school for years to come, but also makes the senior students more known to the younger ones, increasing our bond and brotherhood.
28
The Marist pillar we are focusing on at St. Bernard’s this year is Presence, and this means we are trying to be as present as we can be around our community. This includes student presence at parish masses, fundraising for important causes such as the cancer society and ANZAC day poppy selling. O’Shea Shield is always an important part of the year, and this year our team found this to be a great experience not only for the competition aspect, but also sharing ideas and initiatives with other schools, in particular a dinner with St. Peter’s College from Palmerston North, where many great ideas were bounced off each other.
“
We are trying to be Present around our community”
Other events for 2014 included the SBC SLUM, in which students lived in a ‘slum’ created in the school courtyard, raising money for charity and awareness in our younger students. Benjamin Duthie-Jung

Students’ static images in response to a WWII children’s classic novel. John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, has acknowledged a debt to The Silver Sword: “the book stands out for me as a great children’s classic – it was my first introduction to the Second World War in fiction, to the horrors of the Nazi era, and the fear that capture could instill in the minds of its young heroes Ruth, Edek and Bronia.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Silver_Sword
SBC Poems
Life at SBC is pretty OK People annoy others and say “You’re Gay” Inside the classroom it’s always rowdy If you get a shaved haircut you’ll Hear “Neop, Baldy!” The line in the canteen is always full, If you push in front of someone you’re pretty much a fool!
Life at St. Bernard’s where the work is hard. Especially English with Mrs Prasad Most of the time it’s the homework, I’m hating. Homework is boring, I’d rather be skating.
People always mocking others and making them feel sad. C’mon guys, BULLYING IS BAD! But it’s not all bad at SBC Carry on reading and you will see…
The uniform does not suit me, We all look like troops from Call of Duty.
Classes like Drama and Music are really great, But in Cooking people prefer taking selfies with their mate.
Even though the homework is just time wasting traps, I would rather be here, then at St. Pats.
During lunchtime there’s plenty to do, Like handball, rugby or sitting in the loo.

I haven’t done it yet, Because of Mr Bourke! My mate asked me, Training today? Can’t train today, Need to write an essay. Get home and mum asks, How was your day? I can’t be bothered answering, I just want to hit the hay. Now I’ve finished, The task Miss gave. Hurray! Time to rave.

While civil defence teaches us many skills that are to be used in emergencies, it also teaches us practical skills that can be used in life and not just in an emergency. Skills like how to work well in a team, good listening, patience and critical thinking are all skills that are developed in civil defence. I know that as team leader, I have gained invaluable experience at how to lead a team to accomplish a purpose or goal. civil defence is also fun, which makes learning these skills so much better. To take a day off school and head up to civil defence to do exciting activities involving disasters is anybody’s idea of a good time! My enjoyment of civil defence was increased by the fact that a fancy free lunch catered at the mayor’s office was provided! So civil defence provides St Bernard’s boys with a fun, social platform that leaves us with skills that can serve in an emergency, and in any further ventures we decide to take in life. I really enjoyed leading the team this year, and hope we have a strong group next year to take a place in the competition! Thank you to the team, Mr Sejwal who was our manager and the civil defence instructors who took time from their jobs to teach us. Joseph Schuchmann, Civil Defence Team Leader

Questions, Questions, Questions
his year St Bernard’s participated in the annual civil defence competition. Here, schools around the Hutt Valley head up to the old Wainuiomata College to do training and activities that are important in a civil defence situation like an earthquake or black out. Our team of about nine boys were taught by the Hutt City response teams various skills such as building reconnaissance, stretcher lashing, how to move over rough terrain, knots and carries and many more. On the third day, our team was then put under test by our instructors in a competition. This also provided me, the team leader with a chance to sit a NZQA unit standard on these skills. Although our team did not place this year, next year we plan to initiate after school training so that we can do better at next year’s competition. It should be noted that this was the first time any of the boys had participated in this competition, and they did really well for a first go.

So give us comfort as we lay down bleeding, And pray upon our cold and stiffened dead.

At the National Commemeration of Anzac Day 2014 Nate took part in commemrating New Zealand’s fallen soldiers. He met the Prime Miinister, read a poem and together with a Turkish girl and an Australian boy, Nate helped with the laying of the wreath. The poem he read was by Mike Subritzky in 1986 and he did a amazing job at representing our school, and New Zealand youth.

“W NEED STOP ” E
R
acism: racism that causes hurt in innocent people, racism that causes depression, the same racism that causes suicides, fights,war, rebellion. Racism that goes on around us everywhere. Racial discrimination is shown everywhere. Examples can be easily found, and we need to stop it. Now, don’t even tell me you haven’t ever, in your life, had a negative racial thought, or maybe even committed racial acts towards someone, because such discrimination of any sort is only human. However, we need to make an effort to stop racism. You may think making that racial joke would make you popular and cool around your friends, but have you ever stopped to swap the roles of yourself and the poor little Indian kid, the scrawny white boy you took money from? Perhaps it was the little Asian kid’s homework you blackmailed him into doing for you. Have you ever thought about how much pain and anguish you cause them, just by saying a few inconsiderate words? Or some low and dirty practical joke you perform, just for that little moment of joy?, The little buzz you get from insulting an entire race, based on a stereotypes you hear on television? You know what I think? You should all be ashamed. You are judging an entire race based on a small amount of information that may not even be true. You cannot properly determine anything, and this goes for anything and everything- without a

proper and full understanding of that thing, along with sufficient information. Only then are you qualified to make statements, negative ones being out of question. This primitive, disgusting behaviour is definitely not acceptable in the 21st century. I have experienced a lot of racism first-hand and trust me, hell would be a weak synonym compared to the things I’ve been called. Now, you must understand this, racism will never stop. Just like many things in life, as much as you want them, you will never get them. The colour of our skin doesn’t mean anything at all. We were only born into these containers of skin, incapable of containing our freedom seeking will. You’re white, you’re brown, you’re black, and I’m yellow. But turn off the lights and what are we? We’re all black, That sounded a lot better in my head. My point is, we’re no different from each other. As Martin Luther King JR once said “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” In the end we aren’t different at all. Together we can combat racism, and reduce it by influencing others to stop.

Come on, tell me.” Wallace tells him that he’s Jewish. Freeman responds: “OK. Which month is Jewish History Month?” “There isn’t one,” Wallace says Freeman replies: “Why not? Do you want one?” Wallace denies strongly: “No, no.” Freeman argues: “I don’t either. I don’t want a Black History Month. Black history is American history.” Wallace says: “How are we going to get rid of racism until...?” Freeman ends the interview with a strong, powerful answer: “Stop talking about it. I’m going to stop calling you a white man. And I’m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man. I know you as Mike Wallace. You know me as Morgan Freeman.

he children of today are a polar opposite to the ones of the 1960’s. Back then all the jobs had to be done manually and people struggled with their day to day living. But with today’s technology, we get everything readily available; pre-packed lunches, toys and games bought, and so on. The adults of today had to make up their own games, they couldn’t just go and sit down in front of the computer or T.V and play LOL or COD for hours on end. There were a mound of jobs to do for the children and on the rare occasion that they got time to do what they liked it would probably be for a stroll or play with their friends, because they didn’t have that much. But then again, it does depend on which culture they came from, as some were rich, some were poor, and that chain has carried on through to today’s era. But then again, in those days, technology wasn’t as advanced as it is nowadays and you could argue that there is nothing to discuss about how we are different from the children of the 1960’s. Well if you are thinking that, you are wrong, and I am going to talk about three reasons as to ‘why’. First of all, how general life has changed manner wise. Secondly, the privileges we have today as to what they had, and lastly, will we be able to look after ourselves when we grow older and have we become weaker in stature. Firstly, the general life style has changed. In today’s society, children do not look up to their parents as authority figures and respect them anymore but rather they have more of a casual relationship. This is where it is different, as since there is no respect, they don’t appreciate the work that their parents do for them. They are totally oblivious to all the sacrifices that their parents continue to make for them in order to give them a better start in life. And the shadow that is cast over them causes them to take their parents for granted and be ill mannered and unruly. Their focus lies on things like video games, social media and social life rather than helping with house chores, spending quality family time, respecting their elders and thinking
42
wisely about their future. Also, kids of the 1960’s would walk to school irrespective of the weather conditions, as public modes of transport were very rare. They did not have the appropriate clothing and footwear and had to rough it out. There is a small percentage of children today who do struggle and walk to school. However, some of them do walk as a choice, one of them being, to keep fit. My point is, that the life of today’s children is completely different to those of the olden days because of the lack of respect for their parents and being self centered focusing mainly on video games and social life rather than building towards the future for themselves and not taking everything for granted. The privileges of today’s children are so different to the ones in the 1960’s, and we take most of them for granted. E.G. helping out with household chores, gaming and even the facilities and trainings that we have and use for the sport that some of us play today. All of this sometimes means nothing to us and we don’t see how valuable it is compared to what the kids of the 1960’s had in their society when they were growing up. We have to realize that even though we may not like what we are given, including food and clothes, these are priceless gifts that are life’s basic necessities we need to survive. In poorer countries, people are dying because they don’t have these necessities of life. Back in the day those kids best and most privileged possessions or what they looked forward to, if they went to a boarding school, was going home and spending time with their family or getting a hug from their parents. These are the things we miss in today’s
society of rich spending. The little things get passed by. And today since we do hardly anything for ourselves, it becomes extremely hard later on in life to do simple things like D.I.Y out in the backyard or simply cooking a meal. And then since we get nursed so much, we become weak, and we don’t slug it out like some poor people and the children back in the 60s, they were tough, they fought off trouble, sickness and hardship. They knew how to fend for themselves. Whereas if we get sick today and neither of our parents are there, we wouldn’t know what to do and would probably run to the doctor. Again, dependent on something or someone else. But those people didn’t even have the money to afford a doctor. They had their own home remedies and were back in good health in no time. Now some of you might be thinking that I don’t do any of these things, but I appreciate my parents, I respect them, and I don’t take them for granted. Even you might be telling yourself now; I treasure the stuff I have, the food I eat. Well, all I am trying to say is that, our lives are luxurious compared to the people back in the day and poorer people around the world. We live like kings in this day and age, compared to 50 years ago. And all I ask is that you think of those people when you go home tonight and see how many clothes don’t fit you or you don’t like in your closet and if someone wastes food at the dinner table, imagine the change in the less fortunate. Those are small things that make a big difference.

his year was a great step forward for the Gateway program. We piloted a program for the Construction class where students were able to do their work placement within the school grounds. This was headed by Ted Hanaray (Employer), wearing his other hat as a qualified carpenter. Ted was already known to the boys as he was a staff member who did relieving classes at the college and before that as Director of Pastoral care. The program was based in the Wood-Tech Workshop with Mr Patrick Cassidy running the Level 3 Construction Theory and practical alongside. Their projects included building and repairing existing structures around the school and they also built a new deck which was used by the drama class and music department as a stage to perform on. One of the major repair jobs that the student undertook was the Tractor shed which involved putting automatic doors in, replacing weather boards, as well as reroofing. Mr Cassidy also had boys making big picnic tables which they managed to sell and put the profits back into

the program. Ted was very pleased with how the boys applied themselves when they were onsite and the students were really grateful to get a lot of time working with the tools. Some boys really stood out as potential Carpenters and all benefitted greatly from the program. Our Red shirt Program was also very successful this year with John Te Foto winning the MVP for his intake. Some of the boys who gave this a go were very surprised with how much they were able to learn in this training. They were also very happy to gain the 27 credits on offer, though some of the credit needs to go to Cassandra Clarke. She demanded very high standards and insisted on study timelines being met. One of our new partners this year was the Les Mills Gym in Lower Hutt. They took three of our boys who wanted to explore career options within the sporting/ personal training industry. They got to experience the day-to-day running of a very upmarket Gym. They also attended classes or workouts, worked in the reception area and helped with all the cleaning duties that came with the job.

his year the Languages Department welcomed a new staff member in the form of Ellen Gallagher (French). She joined Manuhiri Corcoran (Japanese) and Nila Uili (Samoan). We were once again fortunate to have great teachers working in the department and supporting our students. Once again the department participated in the annual Language Perfect Language Championships and did very well across all the languages offered at St Bernard’s College. We were acknowledged as one of the top 10% of participating schools for our outstanding efforts in the competition. We look forward to improving on our efforts in the 2015 competition.
Japanese
It has been another full year in the Japanese section of the Languages department. In terms one and two we were lucky to have a number of Japanese students visiting with us from Shibuya Makuhari and Ikubunkan High Schools. Our students have been very fortunate to have had the chance to communicate with native Japanese speakers and share the language and culture of New Zealand. On the 13th November, the Year 9 & 10 students went on their EOTC field trip to the Japan Information and Cultural Centre in the Majestic Building in Wellington. This year we were given an educational presentation including a quiz, games, dressing up as well as a couple of short video presentations and explanations about current Japanese trends and life. After the visit to the Information Centre

I was impressed that all the students tried the different foods and played games like catching raw eggs and fried rice in bowls! It was particularly fun catching cooked egg in our mouths. A great time was had by all. Many thanks to the parents who accompanied us - without parent support we could not take these types of trips out.

French
This year we welcomed Ellen Gallagher to replace William Daveis who, sadly, left at the end of 2013. A large number of students picked French as their Year 9 language option and enjoyed learning the basics of the language and culture during the year. It was a successful year and we would like to wish Ellen all the best for the future.
Samoan This year the Year 13 programme started. This has allowed our students to continue to achieve credits in Samoan from Year 9-13. The students also participated in many activities in the local community including the Samoan Independence Day celebrations and supporting one of our Year 10 students who competed in the Regional Samoan Speech competition. During term four we were lucky to have Bob Wilson come in to cover some lessons. We very much appreciate all he did to assist the students in their exam preparations. Next year we look forward to being the host school for the 2015 Samoan Independence Day celebrations.

The Year 10, 11 and 12 Japanese and Samoan students and Miss Gallagher took the opportunity to organise mini lessons and taught them to the Year 7&8 students. They covered teaching the basics of communicating in these target languages, including greetings, numbers and colours. It is pleasing to see that a number of our students arrive at St Bernard’s with very good second (and sometimes more) language skills. It was a series of interactive lessons which were enjoyed by the teachers and students alike. There were Japanese, French and Samoan themed activities held during lunch hours and the languages teachers shared aspects of culture and language during staff reflections in the morning. We ran a daily quiz over the week and gave out yummy treats to 5 entrants each day. It was exciting to see the high level of involvement at all levels. Mrs Manuhiri Corcoran HOD Languages

Library / Learning Support
I Love To Read K The Library is where I find info, inspiration & peace ia ora tātou katoa, I love books and I love to read. So it was a logical choice that I became a student librarian when I came to St Bernard’s College. In my time as a student librarian, I have seen our library evolve from being not only a place of solitude, study and books, but where a place where learning and brotherhood occurs, through the many card games played, computer help, comparing lesson notes and many more.
I have thoroughly enjoyed having a role where I have been able to assist students, whether it is on the desk issuing and returning books, helping locate books, photocopying and many more. I have taken away many skills and experiences which will help me with my career in teaching. My years spent as a student librarian have gone very fast and I regret not completing the Library Awards Programme. I would like to show my gratitude to Mrs. Kerry
Rubick (pictured right), Ms. Sheehan and my fellow librarians. Mrs Rubrick has sadly decided to move to pastures new and face new challenges in the next chapter of her career. She will be replaced my Mr Neil Coup (pictured far right). Ngā mihi ki a koutou katoa. Thank you and I wish you well in the future. Year 13 Student Librarian, Arama Pou

n Friday the 28th of February, which was in week five of term one, I arrived at school prepared to play six solid hours of Ki-O-Rahi. When I first got to school I went into 8CL to find people getting changed, so I got my PE gear out of my bag and put it on. For the next 20 minutes I hung around Marcellin until the bell went and I had to go to class. When I was back in 8CL Miss Calcinai did morning registration. After that we were split into two teams - A and B. I was in B. These were our teams for Ki-O-Rahi. When the bell rang at nine, we trooped outside and sat in our team lines. After expectations were explained by Mr Williams, Mr Rangiwhetu, Mr Nicol and Ms Taylor, we were ready to start play. Rory, our captain, lead us over to field one. When we got there we set up to play the other CL team, A. After 15 minutes of hard-core pace and throwing, we lined up by the “tupu” to hear the final result. As it turned out we’d won, though narrowly. After that we played an 8RA team but lost. After morning interval we played three more games and won them all. Then after lunch there were two more round robin games and we won one and lost one. We qualified for the semis with a record of six wins and two losses. We won our first semi and moved onto the final against 8RA (a team that had beaten us). I was nervous when we kicked off but got more confident as we started to score points. We cancelled the other team out pretty well in the second half, so I was confident but nervous before the announcement of the final score In the end, we won 17-12 so I cheered along with my team as we claimed our Ki-O-Rahi balls, as the prize for winning the tournament outright.

The final was between 8RA, team I and 8CL, team B and 8CL won in the end but it was a very close game.
It was an all-day tournament held on the 28 February. It was a chance for students to try a new sport and for a bit of fun.
I really liked the day and I got to learn and play a new game that I hadn’t even heard of before. I really hope we get to play it next year.

Ki-O-Rahi Regional Finals for Y7/8 On Thursday 27th March, St Bernard’s College Year 7/8 boys headed to the Interschool Ki-O-Rahi Competition. Being the first time playing in this tournament, the SBC boys were very nervous but keen and excited about playing and competing against some of the wider Wellington based schools. As the sun rose in the sky the boys were welcomed to Te Ara Whanui School which was located in Petone, and was to be the venue for this unique sporting competition. Two SBC teams were entered into the competition: Team Red and Team Gold. Team Red started by playing Corrina School from Porirua, whom they beat comfortably. The Gold team then had their first game against Titahi Bay School and bet them convincingly as well for a great start for the SBC spirit and confidence.

Ara Whanui who were the hosts of the competition. It was clear to see that a lot of their players were very skilled and that they were a very well-oiled machine that played as a whole team rather than the SBC Red Team which learnt the lesson not to play or rely on individual talent. Red had lost their first game. In the next round of games the SBC Gold Team were up against the powerful and large school, Tawa Intermediate. This was close to being the highlight of the day as the spirit and skill on display from the SBC Gold boys was simply outstanding. Thankfully the Red Team got their act together in their game as well and destroyed the young and inexperienced Korokoro School. Both SBC teams won this round and went on to discover that they would be facing each other for a place in the grand final. SBC Red and Gold played out a fierce but fair game against each other with the Red Team eventually winning and moving onto the grand final, where they would have to face their biggest challenge: the host
Te Ara Whanui. It was a magnificent game to watch as the underdogs, St Bernard’s College, gave them a good and hard battle. Unfortunately due to some controversial refereeing decisions, Te Ara Whanui came back and took the victory. St Bernard’s would like to thank Jason Tangianau from Kokiri Marae for helping both teams improve their skills, and for Mr Rangiwhetu for motivating us on the day. We would also like to thank Mr Williams for being the link and getting us registered and involved in the tournament. We would also like to acknowledge the boys from SBC who played with great gusto and energy in all of their games and represented the school with great pride and determination. This day was a great learning experience and also lots of fun. It is an awesome sport and hopefully we get to continue to play and compete in years to come.

“
We worked hard throughout the year, studying Elizabethan theatre (and yes, we did ask the question, “To be or not to be”), writing our own dramas and sharpening our acting skills while learning more about New Zealand playwrights. We had a great start to the year with our entry into the O’Shea Competition in May. Steve, Harry, Liam, Nate, Junior and Andy developed the scene with the help of amazing Ms Jean Howell. Students devised a five minute scene based on a piece of scripture. Our big event for the year was our co-production of “The Ragged” with St Oran’s College and Te Rakau Trust. Once again, Jim Moriarty was in the director’s chair, leading the cast of 52 students through over 250 hours of rehearsals before Production Week in July.

We had packed houses every night and audiences were moved to tears at times by power of the play and the quality of the acting. The drama explored issues surrounding the settlement of the Wellington region. The Honourable Trevor Mallard came to our opening night and after the show he commented that he would never see Wellington Harbour the same way again.
You’ll never see Wellington Harbour in the same light

Our big theatre trip this year was to Circa Theatre where we saw Arthur Miller’s “A View from the Bridge”. By happy coincidence, playwright Dave Armstrong sat in our row. We study Dave’s play, “Niu Sila” at Level 1 and Dave was once an itinerant music teacher here at SBC. Students enjoyed the opportunity to discuss his plays before we went into the theatre for the main event.

Orban was not alone in taking his dramatic endeavours beyond the walls of St Bernard’s. Joseph Afoa performed in “A Christmas Dream”, a retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic tale, “A Christmas Carol” with a Māori twist. Joseph plays the Ghost of Christmas present.
Overall, it has been a great year and the boys of St Bernard’s Drama have once again made us all proud Mrs Jaeger-Letts

Drama Production “The Ragged”
“Whatungarongaro te tangata, toitu te whenua – Man disappears, but the land remains”
O
ver the last two years at St Bernard’s (2013-4), we have proudly organised and performed two massivescale productions in collaboration with Sacred Heart and this year, with St Oran’s College’s. Both were produced by the team at Te Rakau Trust, a tions produc theatre group in Wellington City, led by veteran and globallyacclaimed New Zealand-born actor and director Jim Moriarty and his partner Helen Pearse-Otene. This year we performed “The Ragged” which is the second play in a trilogy written by Ms Otene-Pearse. There are many themes in The Ragged, each character and each scene has a particular theme but a theme for the overall production would perhaps be change. One of the important messages is that change can be good, and sometimes we must adapt to new ways to cater for the times. The play is set in Wellington, New Zealand circa
50
1840, when the Treaty of Waitangi was being signed around the country. The Treaty was a significant part of New Zealand history. It was signed by Crown representatives from England and various Māori chiefs. The main idea of the treaty was to offer the same rights to Māori as British subjects and to recognise the Māori’s ownership of the land. It was a time when the settlers area of Petone was being established and the coast of Wellington around Owhiro Bay / Baring Head was also being settled.
St Bernard’s College 2014
Performing Arts: Music At the time of “The Ra gged” New Zealand was being se ttled by the British, the French we re exploring the South Island an d the Americans were heading to the North Island. The Treaty granted so vereignty to New Zealand to assu re there were no land wars and to agree that the Māori were treated as equals and given rights and privile ges the same as British subjects, even though many believed back in England they were one level abov e the Māori people or tangata wh enua (people of the land). Helen Pearse-Otene felt inspired to write “The Ragged” because all her plays are focused aro und big world events. As Ms Pears e-Otene is Māori she felt it was right to do a play on behalf of the Māori in regards to the Treaty and settleme nt of their land.
She spent years colle cting journal writings and visiting settler areas in New Zealand to make “The Ragged” as historically accurat e as possible. The events in the pla y affect each character differently because of the groups and status of each character. There are British government representatives to en sure everything is ‘fair’ and to overs ee the signing of the treaty, and the re’s ‘respectable’ people settling in parts of the country who are unha ppy with the state of the Māori wh o run around barefoot mingling wit h the respectable people, even tho ugh the treaty assures the Māori pe ople will be given the same privile ges as the British.

Sweet Music T
his has been an interesting year for Music. Mrs. McIntyre and I have tagged in and out as music teacher throughout the year. However, despite the changes many of the big SBC musical events remained the same. The first event of the year was the Wellington regional competition for ‘The Big Sing’ held at the Michael Fowler Center on Wednesday 4th and Thursday 5th of June. This is a national secondary school choir festival and competition organised by New Zealand’s Choral Federation and St Bernard’s entered our student lead Gospel Choir. Although our boys didn’t make it past the regional round they were awarded the ‘Best Performance by a Student-Directed Choir’ for their performance and credit must be given to Jacob Netzler for his leadership of the group. Next was the Music Café night held in the school staffroom on the evening of June 12th. This was a cosy event with drinks and nibbles featuring some of the best acts from St Bernard’s includ-
St Bernard’s College 2014
ing the Jazz band, Pacifica Band, solo and group acts. Finally at the end of term three we had our Celebration of Music Concert in the school gym on the evening of September 11. This is the last musical showcase for the year and although there was a late change in venue it was well- attended by family and friends of performers. It was great to see many junior students getting involved in this event either as crew or performers (and in some instances as both!) St Bernard’s has a lot of great young talent coming up through the ranks and I wish them the best of luck in their future performing exploits. Whāia te iti kahurangi ki te tūohu koe me he maunga teitei. Thanks for having me and it has been a pleasure teaching music at SBC. Sincerely, Mr Peter Crisp TiC Music

he question we must always ask ourselves is “Are we better off with the advances that science has made”? We would no doubt all say yes but then we ask “What has been the cost? We look at the outbreak of the virus Ebola and read about its spread and how we can be contained. Do we know sufficient about what viruses are, how they spread, how they can be controlled, what are our bodies control mechanisms, why are there so many types and many more very important questions? Should this be part of the education of young people so that they know how to react and respond sensibly to such questions? As teachers we would say, “yes!” But again the curriculum does not allow for this. Do we know that “antibiotics cannot kill viruses”? Do we know that “the only way to control the common flu virus is to use our own immune system”? We need to keep our immune system healthy to do this. So how do we control the Ebola outbreak? We need to contain it and then it will die out but at the same time

Arrivals
We warmly welcomed Gregory Bourke who replaced Lyn Too as one of our chemistry teachers. Greg arrived from Fielding High School and brings a wealth of experience as well as love of making explosions, stick bombs, lots of fiery reactions but above all instructing our young men with the knowledge of the chemistry of life that is around them Emma Wallis joined us from Hutt High as a one year replacement for Jess Christian who was on maternity leave. Emma’s contribution has been excellent as she brings a young teachers’ enthusiasm and knowledge. We also welcomed: Hayley Robinson who has been with us for half a year and replaced David McVay. Hayley has settled in well and her ability to develop revision and study notes with a strong literacy basis has been of huge benefit to all the students. Her commitment to “moodle” has been extremely valuable to the students.
Farewells
We farewelled David McVay to Hutt Valley High School after his short stay with us. He will be missed by the model making group that he set up.

we must care for the patients and develop medicines that assist our body to fight off this attack. We must remember that we have come a long way since the days of Marcellin Champagnat where diseases were seen as a form of retribution. Thank God for science. The staff and students can justifiably be extremely proud of their achievements in 2014. Students who realise that success is “90% perspiration and 10% inspiration” will be successful. This illustrates that there is no substitute for hard work. Having the desire to success is great but we must also have the tools to study successfully for examinations.
This is one aspect that we as a department must focus on and ensure that every student is equipped with the skills and knowledge on how the study to pass exams. The Marist pillar this year is “Presence” and I believe that the department has worked with the students, their whanau, and other teachers to ensure that we are there to achieve their learning potential.

Otago University Senior Science Quiz
We continued our involvement this year with 20 students attempting the competition. We were not successful in gaining any prizes but it gave the students the opportunity to test their scientific and computer technology knowledge against the examiner. Well done guys.
Brain Bee Competition
This year we had 12 year 11 students participate in this competition which is run through Auckland University under the auspices of the NZ neurological society. It involved the students answering 30 multichoice questions on a functioning of the human brain. It is an excellent competition to enter for any student with this type of career in mind. We had two students (Nathan Chan and Aidan Watson) being invited to Auckland this year to take part in the final. Both boys enjoyed the opportunity immensely especially the chance to look around the Auckland Medical School.

Trips Outside the Classroom.
This year the year 8 were very fortunate to have had a full day trip to visit three areas involved with recycling within the Hutt Valley. The students visited the Silverstream landfill, then to Earth Care, then to TransPacific Recycling. They then went to Dowse Art Gallery to look at ancient Maori involvement in recycling, i.e. uses for flax. This was an excellent opportunity for the students to see how their recycled wastes are being turned into new objects. It was suggested that the students could use recycling as a means of getting some pocket money. Class 9KE were involved in a national programme that involved an in-depth exploration of two local river ecosystems. The class looked at the Waiwhetu and Kaiwharawhara streams. The students were testing for abiotic factors (water temperature, pH) and biotic life. (the number of aquatic insects, fish etc) An excellent hands on biological investigation. This will be a multi- year investigation and the data will be used by the Wellington Regional Council.
GNS Visit
Six year 12 science students had the opportunity to visit this governmental research centre at Gracefield and experience what today’s scientists are researching in both theoretical and practical projects. The boys were able to see ice cores taken from Antarctica as well as microscopic fossils seen in rock samples. It is always an experience to have liquid nitrogen run down your arm without it burning you. It also helps make fantastic ice-cream.
Field Trips
These important learning experiences allow the theory to be put into a context. Year 13 Bio went to Paraparaumu Beach for a lupin investigation, 12Bio went to Zealandia wildlife reserve to sample the Karori stream both within a natural habitat and again down at the bottom of the Ngaio Hill Road after it has travelled through an urban environment. Year 12 Science went to Carter Observatory to get information on planetary formation and Titahi Bay to look

at Wellington specific geological features. 10AN went to Harcourt Park to commence their investigation on the influence of the Wellington Fault on geological features. Special thanks to Mr Julian Thompson, the education officer at GNS who provided the expert descriptions of the geological features. Yr 9 classes went to Pauatahanui Inlet as part of their community study into tidal estuary ecology. They sampled mud crab, mad snail numbers as well as the behavioural features of mud crabs.
Primary School Visits
We are extremely fortunate to be able to take practical science down to Saint Peter and Paul’s School and Sacred Heart School. It is great to see the awe and excitement in the eyes of these students where science is still a magical occurrence. At Sacred Heart we look at light and how it is reflected and refracted as well as dissecting a bulls eye. At Saint Peter’s and Paul we assisted in their work on forces by showing them how to make and fire a chemical rocket. With the same Year 5 and 6 students we were able to assist with their study of plants and they were able to see the wonders of the microscopic world. We were also very fortunate to take four lessons with their science club which involved topics on light, forces and chemistry.
Science Demonstrators It is great to have students who are so enthusiastic about science that they give up their Saturday to explain science demonstrations to parents of prospective students on Open Day. We also had the valuable assistance of year 10 students who went along to local primary schools and helped to explain the more difficult concepts that were being looked at into a language that the students could understand. These young scientists are a credit to their family and to the college. Thanks to Jack Marra, Jackson Locke, Elisha Day, Pablo Lopez.
Science Fair
This is one aspect of science that students enjoy because of the experimental work that is involved. They are however more reluctant to write it up in the “scientific manner”. It can also fill parents with fear and trepidation but the work gets completed. I would especially like to thank all parents for their support of their son’s endeavour to find out more about the world about them. Thank you for encouraging them to complete their investigation and for the use of your kitchens, garages, backyards etc in order to test their hypothesis. See the next page for a full set of the results.
Wellington Regional Science Fair
This year, 12 exhibitors were courageous enough to have their exhibits judged by specialist in a variety of fields. Congratulations to Keanu Templonuevo who achieved 2nd place in Year 7 and a special prize called the Hugh J Gordon Memorial Prize who was a Professor of Botany at Victoria University. Keanu’s investigation was titled ”Multiple Vertical cropper”
Horticultural Club
A small group of students were entrusted with looking after the horticultural beds. It is great to have students who care about their environment.
Astronomy Club
They meet once a month to look at the night sky and see the planets in our solar system as well as the myriad of stars that make up our Milky Way galaxy. When the weather is inclement then they look at current astronomical events on web sites such as NASA. The club is run by Mr Anthony Gomez, a local astronomer, whose knowledge and enthusiasm are second to none. On occasions, visiting students from other schools have shown to us the value of having such a club.
Environmentalist Club
A small group of students meet to decide on activities that students at the college could be involved in. A photo competitions was run in relation to “Sea Week”. Results were. Prizes to Jasper Hobbs and Jack Hanson.

Science Study Skills Day
Thanks to Mrs Lomax, three classes were able to get the opportunity to gain the skills on how to study effectively from an internationally recognised presenter. If the students implement the suggestions that they were given then their chances of success would improve dramatically. His suggestions are to study for 35 minutes and have a 10 minute break, repeat for a different subject and repeat once more. The second suggestion is the 10:1:1:1 method. Study a topic and revise it 10 minutes later. Review this material 1 day later, then 1 week later and then 1 month later. At this point the material is in long term memory.

The Science Staff
The many and varied activities that are carried out for the benefit of the students can only be achieved through the collective endorsement of all the six science staff. I know that each individual staff member brings a unique flavour and knowledge to each of their lessons. The time that is spent in ensuring that every student is given every possible change to achieve to their potential is phenomenal. We all teach differently, but collectively, we know that science is a subject that every student needs to understand how it fits into their everyday lives. They need to know the difference between true science and pseudoscience. Mr Gregory Bourke. Greg is our Chemistry teacher who joined us at the start of the year from Fielding High School. Greg has a deep seated love of Chemistry and Science and endeavours to links all his chemistry and science ideas to everyday situations. Mrs Hayley Robinson. Hayley has been us for half a year and is teaching Science from Year 7 to 11. Hayley is very aware of the need to have a variety of ways that students study and revise. She has developed useful revision exercises that are relevant, fun to

Year 10 NCEA class
Last year’s class did very well in their 3 NCEA standards. The two internal standards and the one external standard were passed by 93% of the students. This is very impressive considering that the external standard is normally sat by year 11 students and it is one of the more difficult level 1 physics standards. The standard was titled Magnetism and electricity.
Old Boy Visits
It was great two have Jordan Saggers majoring in Marine and Ecological Biology at Victoria University and Yuxuan Zhou who is in his second year of Medicine. Both men gave the 13 Biology class an insight to life at university and what is required to be successful. It is great to have old boys visiting the school and being willing to have discussion with current students.
Future in Tech Visitors
This is an organisation that arrange for young graduates to visit schools and talk to students about their career and what is required for students to get to this level of success. This year two graduates spoke
do and linked very closely to the key ideas of each topic. She has introduced a regular lunchtime tutorial programme that is a very effective learning tool. Ms Emma Wallis. Emma is a 2nd year teacher and is teaching Science and Mathematics from Year 7 to 11. Emma has developed many effective strategies that allows for all levels of ability to achieve their goals. Emma has also been involved with the lunch time tutorial programme. Emma is also our water polo convenor and has been an important part in this very successful sport. Mr Luka Andic. Luka is a senior Biology teacher and Year 12 Dean. Luka sees the real value of having students learn outside the classroom. Biology is best understood if the theory can be witnessed in nature. The use of Zealandia as the site for his Y12 Biology internals gave the students an insight to how this very important mainland island is helping endangered species. His work with the Year 9 class has allowed them to do a long term fresh water investigation plus it gave them the idea of how to develop a scientific process.
to two Year 11 Science classes about how they decided upon engineering as a career choice. They talked to the students about the choices they can make and that the choices that are made can be wider than they may think. This is an excellent service and definitely opens up the eyes of our students about life after college.
Paper Recycling & Tree Planting
Each week paper and cardboard is collected and we recycle it. This year we received 14 trees for our efforts and they are planted around the college. This project is part of a national wide endeavour called Paper for Trees. National wide in 2012 8,650 tonnes were recycled, 71,000 cubic meters of saved landfall space, 33,150 trees were planted and the amount of carbon that did not get emitted from landfills was 20,665tonnes. Since the projects conception in 2001, 100,000 plus trees have been planted. Mrs Lynley Pawson. Lynley is the most essential and integral member of the Science team. As our lab technician, Lynley ensures that every teacher has the resources available at all times. Lynley’s ability to be an extra pair of hands during practical sessions has proved invaluable on many occasions. Lynley is the “glue” that holds the department together. Mr David Housden. David’s commitment to Science and Physics education has and continues to be considerable. David’s involvement in developing national curriculum makes him a very useful sounding board for us as we continue to refine and develop our own unique curriculum. David continues to make the difficult concepts of Physics relevant and useful to his students. He is the reason Physics is one of the most successful subjects in the curriculum. David is leading a group of staff into looking at “How relevant is our current curriculum to our present day students?” We are looking forward to his findings. Mr Brenten Higson. Brenten is the HOD and teacher of Biology.

n the Economics Challenge we were assigned the task to invent a safety product to help reduce the amount of accidents on quad bikes in New Zealand.
This challenge was set to test our knowledge of how to manage as a team with limited resources and time. Using our imaginative minds we all worked together and produced a variety of products which we believed as a team would reduce accidents on quad bikes on all terrain. However we were stunned to realize we were not being judged for our inventions by Mr McKay or our workshop organizers, but by a panel of investors, brokers and bankers. This shock was overcome by all who participated in the workshop and everyone was acknowledged by the judges with high regard for their efforts. John Phillips 10EP

n July St Bernard’s got a new school van. The Toyota Hiace Minivan is a much more ‘user friendly’ vehicle than the Ford Transit, it replaces.With automatic transmission, power steering and all the mod-cons including reversing camera, bluetooth etc it is more like driving a car.
Part of the commissioning included an allowance for signwriting. As well as the corporate identity we wanted to reflect the flair and culture that is St Bernard’s. The result was a design variation drawn by groups of Mrs Shill’s DVC students that were trying to capture the idea of SBC. Our ‘blue wave’ koru that has increasingly appeared in our publications was a large feature in the design process. The final design was put together by Clare Shill and digitally rendered by Callum Bryan to create . Mr Outtrim, our Business Manager, liaised with the signwriters to ensure the final professional result. We hope our van will have many safe travels for all the years to come.

Otago - ISTC 2014: Information Science Technology Challenge The 8th Annual Information Science Technology Challenge (ISTC2014) for Year 12 and 13 High School students was held in Wellington on Wednesday 2nd July. The aim of ISTC is to encourage students to problem solve and think about new entreprenuerial applications and synthesis of different technologies. We had four teams of Y13 students battle it out in lunchtime sessions to win the coveted opportunity to compete in this one day event where the student teams were challenged to develop an innovative business idea around the use of one or more of the technologies demonstrated by Information Science staff. The day culminated with the student teams presenting their idea to a “Dragons Den” panel of judges from industry and academia. Prizes were awarded to the winning teams in the categories of overall winner, best presentation, best understanding of the technology and the audience choice. A notable mention to Richard Awatere’s group for winning best team name with “Error 404 - Team Name Not Found”. Our boys presented interesting uses of nanotechnology and they were unlucky to lose to HIBS, however, they had a fantastc time and ate their fair share of Hell’s Pizza.

Many thanks to Google for sponsoring CS4HS (Computer Science for High Schools) to enable Victoria Univesity Wellington and Unitec to teach our teachers how to deliver CS and programming to our boys IT & CS are vital to New Zealand’s future economy and are the world’s top ten best paid and most indemand jobs. For the second year running we were pleased to be part of the ICT-Connect programme from the Institute of IT Professionals. The IITP help students to see the potential of Computing and to boost their future career prospects.

enior Computing students have had a challenging 2014. They have learnt a range of topics, from programming with Python and Scratch, spreadsheets, databases, desktop publishing and graphic design to the ins and outs of coding websites using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. All very technical stuff but the boys have found it interesting and accessible thanks to websites like CodeAvengers.com and www.codecademy.com which they like for their self-paced interactive lessons.
We also warmly welcomed Elf Eldridge (pictured above), STEAM Outreach co-ordinator from Victoria University Wellington. The visit was part of the ICT-Connect programme which brings industry professionals into schools to offer careers advice. Elf told us all about the excellent opportunities in ICT and showcased freaky software engineering and cool robotics projects from Weltec and Victoria University’s CS students. Elf’s visit also inspired students to apply to the Codeworx.co.nz competition, sponsored by Orion Health, which provided them with Raspberry Pi credit card sized mini computers. Elf also led the local Tek Ctrl afterschool workshops at the Lower Hutt library on Thursday evenings where his graduate students support projects in robotics, CAD and coding. The message must be making it because nearly three times the number of new students have enrolled for Year 11, Level 1 NCEA for next year. The future looks bright for CS and we cannot wait for 2015.

Whilst we all love learning very few people, I think, would say they actually like exams but (thanks to the quick and simple interactive marking spreadsheets that we developed) this year’s students were able to quickly enter answers and gain instant feedback on their performance on ICAS past papers. This helped them to gain an understanding of the types of questions they could be asked and to gain familiarity with the multiple choice style exams. At the start of Term 2, 36 students from Years 7 to 9 participated in the 2014 Computer Skills ICAS competition. It is pleasing to report that the following students gained a Credit award (roughly placing them in the top 30% of all NZ candidates). Year 7 - Credit: Alex Cornille, Tomas Senek, Keanu Templonuevo and Alexander Watsom Year 8 - Credit: Henry Bennett, Mackenzie Georgeson, Jacob Sharkey Year 9 - Credit: Martin Almendarl, Caleb Carrasco, Gianpaolo Cigaral, Trevix Raquid, Junlin Sun The following students produced an outstanding performance in the examination and gained a Distinction grade. Year 8 - Distinction: Liam Eagle, Nithen Best and William Johnson

#HourOfCode
S
t Bernard’s College is at the cutting edge of computing. Less than 10% of NZ schools are offering coding in their curriculum. So, in addition to our varied technology programmes, we are seeding these skills in our junior students when they take part in the excellent #HourOfCode website www.code. org. This will help Y7-10 boys to become the next generation of app inventors and software engineers. They received an hour’s introduction to Computer Science (CS), designed to demystify “code” and show that anyone can learn the basics to be a maker / problem solving creator. Students were inspired by the likes of President Barack Obama, basketball star Chris Bosch (Miami Heat) and musical guru Will.i.am who said, “We live in a world surrounded by technology. But only a tiny fraction of students learn how computers work, or how to create software technology. CS provides a foundation for virtually any career and all our students can benefit from learning the basics.” SBC was one of the few officially registered schools in NZ to join the CS Education Week’s massive campaign called the Hour of Code. In the last two weeks of term, SBC boys were amongst the 10 million students globally who have been introduced to try one hour of simple CS. But it didn’t stop there. We rewrote our course to give them plenty of opportunity to learn the basics and build their own projects. Boys from Y7-10 have loved the variety of self-guided tutorials that anybody can do, on a browser, tablet or smartphone. They are great for anyone aged 6—106! Go to Code.org, I challenge you to heed the words of President Barack Obama, “Don’t just play on your phone, program it!” Mr Matt Harrison - TiC Digial Technology

t the end of August finals were held for all Wellington college basketball teams and our junior A and senior B both qualified. The Junior A Team captained by Noah Lindstrom went into their final in division 2 with an unbeaten record. They faced a revved up Wainuiomata High School team with nothing to lose. A change of venue and nerves put St Bernard’s on the back foot at times and this ended up being their most challenging game of the season. Luckily they pulled through with a 65-53 win with Kitiona Vaofusi top scoring, shooting 33 of the 65 winning points. The Senior B Team captained by Michael Brennan went into their final in division 3 after a nail biting home game against Taita winning 52-42 with Michael Brennan top scoring with 13, Jacob Egan 12 and Mark Capinpin 10. The team played best on home turf with the support of their families and classmates cheering along the side-lines so it was with great trepidation that they entered into the final at ASB Stadium against Taita again. However with many of their St Bernard’s friends and family making the trip into town and an amped up team they came through with a convincing score of 79-56. It was a fantastic end to great season with many of these boys having played together since Year 7 & 8.
Sports & Cultural
The last time Senior A won in the finals was 2008 when their current coach Miguel was playing. After five years of managing it was wonderful to also have Catherine Brennan go out with a win. We hope to continue our success in the years to come by moving up in the divisions and this would not be possible without the coaching, managing and parent support that has been kindly volunteered this year. We hope you will all be back next year.

Captains' Reports 13th Grade
T
he 13th grade football team had a reasonably good season with a few ups and downs. The season started off very well with a win, considering no one knew each other very well and the styles they played. In the first round we very deservingly finished 4th with 16 points. But by the second round it wasn’t as good, as we came 5th with only 9 points.
Sports & Cultural
The skill level of the team improved greatly as the season progressed, but whilst we were improving all opposing teams were as well. A few players in our team were playing up a grade or two and some even three. I must congratulate them on their efforts as they are only meant to be playing on 3/.4 sized fields. Right from the start it was quite evident that there were a few main players in the team which made the team a real possibility for top spot. It was great to see that most of the team had great commitment and showed up to most trainings. It was disappointing that one or two did not have the same commitment. The team fought very hard all season as it was very evident in the results as only one of our five losses was by more than 1 goal. Even though we had a great attacking game against Wainuiomata, winning 10-4 but I think we saved our best game for our final game where came together and played as a team. I think if we played that way all season then we would have claimed top spot. The season would not have been anywhere near as enjoyable as it was, if Mr Higson hadn’t given up his time to run trainings. Also a big thank you to Mr Henderson and Ms Sissons who managed the team really well and survived those freezing cold Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. Lastly I would like thank all the parents for getting the boys to the games and for all your support and encouragement. Daniel Henderson (Co Captain with Gareth Atkin)
Junior 2 verall, this year was pretty good for the junior 2 team. We made it
O
into the top four, finishing in fourth position. We started the year off with a game against Onslow which we won 3-2. This was a good result, as we hadn’t played together as a team before.
It took us a few games and trainings to get to know how each other played and how to play as a team. We had a few games in which we were half asleep during the first half. We woke up in the second half and as a result we played much better. A lot of our games were definitely games of two halves. Our top scoring game was against Wellington College 5 where we won 6-1. This game was one of our best performances which showed in the final score. Our last game was one to remember. We played St Pat’s Town at St Bernard’s and it was a real mud hole. Because of the conditions some of us were very nervous as St Pat’s had beaten us previously. We did not need to be afraid as we played well as a team and we finished up with a 4-2 victory. A special thanks to Matt (Mr Weldon Smith) our coach who had to get up extra early on our training days so that he could finish the day early and come and coach us at 3.30pm. He is a great coach with great tips and skill and when it came time for the games he would make more noise than the whole of our school together! Thanks also to the parents who came out in the freezing cold to cheer us on. I really enjoyed playing this year and I hope next year turns out just as good. Daniel Goldsworthy (Captain)

Junior One his year’s J1 team played a season
T
full of skilful and passionate footballers. The season started at the Scots College pre-season tournament. We played three games against top quality junior teams and although we didn’t win any of the games our team started to play as a team and develop a good chemistry between the players. This increased chemistry showed in our first grading game against Kapiti College. We won this game giving us a huge confidence boost going further into the season. Through more grading games against top teams, we found ourselves in division 1 for the rest of the season, competing against Wellington College 1,2 and 3, Kapiti College and Hutt Valley High School.
The team was very appreciative of the time and effort that they gave to us to ensure that developed and played attractive and attacking football. We also want to thank our parents for taking us to games and especially the Saturday we had to meet at 6.30am for our game in Wellington at 8.00am. It will be great to be playing together for St Bernard’s in years to come. Jack Marra (Captain)
A season highlight was when we held Wellington College 1 to 0-0 for the first half on their artificial turf. The second half did not go as well however. A huge thanks to our coaches, Mr Jordan Saggers and Mr James Nash.

2ndhis year XIthe 2nd XI was comprised of
T
year 11 and 12 players who enjoyed each other’s company and formed a team of high achieving football players.
1st XI
Throughout the season we suffered some heavy defeats (1-5 against Wgtn Coll 9) but also came away with a few high scoring victories (9-3 against Silverstream 3rd’s). This season we were coached by the mighty Mr Higson who passed on his footballing knowledge and coaching perspective to the team which helped fine tune our games. The 2nd XI had a core of 7 to 8 players that trained hard and had the desire to perform to their peak performance, game after game. These players will go close to claiming a place in the 1st XI next season. This season new played 13 games, victorious in 3, drawing 1 and losing 9.
T Sports & Cultural
his year’s 1st XI squad consisted of a group of great young players who showed amazing potential, but sadly we did not perform consistently throughout the season. The expectations on this team to perform at the highest level was great, given that a number of players played in the 2013 championship team. We had the goal of winning back to back titles in division 1 and we even had the opportunity to be in the premier youth grade. Sadly, we fell short of both aspirations. We slipped off our grading games and as a result we were disappointingly relegated to division 2. Division 2 was a place we did not belong in as we knew we were better than this. However, our performances on the field did not always show this.
Numerous tight and hard fought games came down to the wire but we devastatingly let slip possible victories slip from our grasp. Our highlight of the season was the annual fixture against St Peter’s College in Palmerston North, which is our last game on tour. We were a goal down at half time but with a number of inspirational speeches we knew that we were 40 minutes away from a memorable victory and regaining the “Friendship trophy that we lost in 2011. We scored three unanswered second half goals and the trophy was ours. We proved that pride, passion and team work does bring its rewards.
Even losing 9 games we never gave up hope as witnessed by our last game where we lost 2-3 to St Pat’s Town 2nd XI where we showed heart, courage and pride. Thank you to all the parents, friends and family that turned up every week to support us and encourage us to achieve greater things. Thomas Josephson (Captain)
During the annual NI tour each player an even stronger bond between ourselves. With this advantage we showed the opposition that were not a washed up team. At the end of the season we found that HVHS came out on top of premier youth which was a team that we beat in a preseason fixture. We used this motivation, for a team experiencing this level for the first time. We will come back next year and we will show everyone the true capabilities of all the players and the team as a whole. We will again be a team to be feared. This was a learning year for us. I would like to thank all those players who are leaving this year. Your knowledge and commitment to SBC has been tremendous. You are real St Bernard’s men. A very special thanks to our coach Mr Wayne Ebert. Wayne was at all our practices and gave a wealth of information on how to improve both our individual game but also on how to work as a team. Under his coaching every player has gained new skills and techniques that will allow us to compete for places in senior men’s teams in future years. Kelly Higgins (Captain)

Rugby Under 55’s / 65’s
YOU DON’T HAVE TO PLAY RUGBY TO KNOW
IT’S AWES ME
P
Sports & Cultural
laying for the Under 65’s rugby team was a great experience. We played in the second division and were competitive but like last year in the under 55’s we lost some key players to injury throughout the year, and had some tight results go the wrong way. We ultimately finished 5th in the grade which was a good achievement considering there were 8 teams and a whole other division below us. We won roughly half our games which was a better record than many teams could claim and it was great to see the boys persevere through injuries and tough games throughout the year. This was especially notable when we were reduced to fifteen men against St Patricks Silverstream, which meant we had no subs and people playing out of position. Silverstream managed to finish third at the end of the season but we had managed to beat them which gave us a lot of confidence for the rest of the season after the boys had put so much effort into that game. A huge thank you needs to go out to Steve Mann, Mike Gorham and Matt Roberts who did an excellent job of coaching the team and were also helped along the way by many actively involved parents. Support never seemed to fade and a thank you needs to go out to all parents that would drive their sons to the game and stand on the side line in all sorts of weather. Without them this season would not have been possible.
very good season. They played in the second division as well and ultimately finished 4th. They were one of the best teams in the division but had some key players injured towards the finals and lost in the semi-final to a good Silverstream Side. The side was coached by Logan Ongley, Justin Wilson and Mark Johns and they too need a very big thank you for all the work they put in over the year. Again like the under 65s support never faltered and the side lines were always covered with dedicated supporters, who also deserve a big thank you. A thank you must go out from both teams to the Rugby/Physical Education Department of St Bernard’s who provided us with many things like balls, jerseys, water bottles and all the necessary gear to make this season possible. Thank you, Matthew Mann and Max Siemonek (Captain and Vice-Captain of the under 65’s)

ctober 2013 saw the first ever SBC 7’s team enter the Condor Qualifying tournament. We didn’t make the semi-final but as none of the team had ever really played 7’s before it was a good challenge.
Sports & Cultural
In February 2014 we played in the inaugural Marist College 7’s and successfully won the Bowl final. This competition saw Marist colleges from all over the country compete. Fredrich Kiel captained the side and was named in the Tournament Team. Freddie is an outstanding 15’s player and led the slightly more experienced squad well throughout the tournament. Roll on October and once again we found ourselves at the Condor Qualifier. This year the top 2 teams gain entry to the National Condor 7’s in Auckland so we figured we were in with a good shot. With only 2 Pool games we needed to win at least one if not both. 29-7 vs Taita, then 10-38 vs Silverstream meant we made it through to a quarter final vs St Pat’s Town. 14-12 to SBC – Well Done! Cup semi-final vs Silverstream.
96
This would have to be the game of the day. 12-7 to SBC with less than 2 minutes to go, Silverstream snuck in a try to level the score. All we had to do was hold them off & we’re into golden point. Sadly not to be and we were beaten 19-12. SO close! St Bernard’s is now an established threat in the local 7’s comp and can only improve from here. Our goal for 2015 – win the Marist 7’s in February! We’re confident that our team can make it through to the final. St Pat’s Town will again pose a threat – they are an experienced 7’s squad. Thanks to all who supported us this year – HOBM for sponsoring our jerseys, Lupi & Mike as our waterboys, and a special mention to Luisa Tuisamoa (baker extraordinaire). Deborah Wright, Team Manager

Volleyball
D
uring term 1 the Junior Volleyball team, Year 9 and 10, played in the Hutt Valley Division. Our goal was to qualify for the Junior Premier Division in term 4. The team trained hard and showed improvements with every game. The hard work in training paid off. We qualified for the Wellington Region Premier Division for term 4. This consists of the top 6 teams from Hutt Valley, Wellington City, Kapiti and Mana. The boys trained hard over the term 3 holidays to ensure we could compete with the best junior volleyball teams in the Wellington region. Our goal for 2014 is to be the Premier Champions. The boys knew that this would require commitment, hard work and skill. Another goal of the team was to qualify for the North Island Championships where we would test ourselves against the top 32 teams from the North Island.
St Bernardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College 2014
The College Sport Wellington Regional Volleyball Tournament is the only way to qualify for the North Island Championships. During term 4 we increased our training times and leading up to the tournament we were training everyday, sometimes twice! Five students: Aloysius Duffy, Carlos Leota, Kitiona Vaofusi, Joshua FurjesCrawshaw and Puna Manaia have all completed their Volleyball New Zealand refereeing course. This is the way that these students can give back to volleyball at SBC by increasing their knowledge and being able to referee at National tournament levels for the rest of their playing time at SBC. Well done boys! At the time of writing this report the team is 2 days away from the qualifying tournament. They are very excited and focussed on playing to the best of their ability and reach the goals that they have set for themselves. For the first time in at least 10 years SBC will be entering 2
teams into the regional tournament. We are the only boys school in the region to do so. This shows the popularity of volleyball at the College. The team has been extremely well led by Ben Ernst as our captain. A big thank you to the parents who have helped the boys get to games all over Wellington and have supported them at court side. The SBC Junior Volleyball team is: Ben Ernst, Puna Manaia, Aloysius Duffy, Harrison Crosbie, kitiona Vaofusi, Joshua Peckston, Matthew Mann, Carlos Leota, George Barr-Brown,Joshua FurjesCrawshaw, Daniel Lloyd, Xavius Tuita, Hakalia Tavite and George Roberts. Special Mentions: Aloysius Duffy- best spiker, Kitiona Vaofusi- best blocker, Matthew Mann/Ben Ernst- best receiver, Harrison Crosbie-best server, George Roberts-best year 9 player.
