2025 Collegian Yearbook

2025 LEAVERS' GIFT

It has been truly special to have had such an incredibly tightknit, supportive and talented Year 13 group. We have strived to uphold the new 2025 St Paul’s school values of Respect, Resilience, Integrity, Belonging and Spirituality. We hope to leave a gift that honours this legacy.

We have been incredibly privileged to work alongside New Zealand Sculptor Jim Wheeler. We were particularly fascinated by his beautiful cast works, which incorporate the natural world to convey deeper symbolism. This

theme is certainly at the core of our 2025 Leavers’ Gifts: the Corona Civica , as well as a trophy artwork titled Resilience

The central gift is the Corona Civica – a bronze-cast crown, patinated with rich green leaves – based on the original Roman crown, the Civic Crown. It was a crown awarded to citizens who had demonstrated selflessness and courage in protecting others. This powerfully represents the legacy of service to others and the courage within ourselves that our year group wishes to leave, and to inspire future students with. Similar to the original Roman Civic Crown, our award is woven from oak leaves and stems, as well as St Paul’s symbols of acorns and bees.

The ecosystem and interwovenness are pertinent to the new St Paul’s values that have been woven into our school life: resilience in our work, integrity in our actions, spirituality in our minds, belonging in our communities and respect for all our people.

Our second gift, Resilience , is unique in that it will be presented annually at our St Paul’s Senior Prizegiving. It parallels the Corona Civica through its bronze-cast branches and green oak leaves. Modelled on an oak branch that had been sawn off and a secondary stem broken in a storm, it symbolises determination; despite setbacks from both man and nature, a fresh sprout had still burst forth. This award will be presented to a Year 13 student who has demonstrated the newly defined school values of Belonging, Respect, Integrity, Spirituality and Resilience.

We have been incredibly appreciative of all the support from artist Jim Wheeler, Mr Cameron and of course, our Year 13 group. From the bottom of our hearts, we say thank you. We leave St Paul’s assured, knowing that these five values will carry within us for a long time to come.

CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS

Mr Andrew Johnson

Welcome to the 66th Annual Prizegiving of St Paul’s Collegiate School. I would like to formally welcome all those that have joined us in person and online as we celebrate outstanding student achievement. It is my privilege on behalf of my fellow trustees to be able to acknowledge our successes throughout 2025 and reaffirm our direction in 2026 and beyond (but you can relax, no major announcements and I will promise I will be short as usual with my words).

Our strategy for the school recognises that in order to have the educational outcomes we all want, we need to create the right learning environments. This is more than just the physical environment, it is both the expectations that we set, the behaviours we celebrate, and the appointment and continuous professional

development of high quality staff; recognising that prioritising these core aspects of school life return the greatest benefit to the young people who live and learn here.

Throughout this year we, as a Board, have again made significant investments in progressing our Master Campus Plan, with the Hive set to open in January 2026, the expansion and refurbishment of Sargood House (almost complete), the recent opening of our new Staff and Visitor Centre at Tihoi Venture School and two new staff townhouses for Harington boarding under construction.

As a Board, our strategy recognises the importance of both people and culture within the school and wider organisation. Notably, we continue to focus on our goal of being the premier Boarding

School in New Zealand. Why such a focus on boarding? It is our strong belief that if we get boarding right in terms of expectations, systems and our pastoral care – this all flows through into all areas of our day school operation as well.

The professional development and support for a Boarding Housemaster becomes the same standard for a Day Housemaster; the quality recreational environment for a boarder becomes the same facilities available for all day students to enjoy. The provision of quality food for boarding students, is the standard for all students and staff to then enjoy on a daily basis at lunch. So we recognise that we not only need to provide high-quality facilities that encourage great learning outcomes, but we need also to continually invest in our

people and give them every opportunity to be their best when in front of our students. As we look towards 2026, the budget reflects increased investment in Housemasters and additional pastoral staffing throughout the school, as we know the quality of their care enhances the support, confidence and success of our young people.

During this year we have been getting ready to welcome Year 9 girls to St Paul’s in January 2026. We have been very deliberate in our planning, to create an increasingly co-ed offering and structure that combines a focus on high standards, academic rigour and extracurricular contribution, whilst recognising that as society changes our young people need to be equipped with critical health and social education experiences and messaging to ensure they can be confident, contributing leaders in society into the future.

Another key focus for the Board and Senior Leadership this year has been developing a clear strategy and policy for the phased adoption of AI. The training with and use of AI tools is well underway throughout the school, from helping streamline administrative tasks, supporting teachers with planning and preparing lessons, to directly enhancing student learning experiences. Beyond the immediate operational efficiency and productivity improvements, we are most excited about the potential for AI supported learning to enhance the development of critical thinking skills for students across all levels of ability.

Next year our school roll will be just over 960 students –this is heartening and a new milestone in our schools history. As our enrolments grow, we want to assure you the Board is committed to ensuring average class sizes do

not grow. We pride ourselves on having small classes, and we will continue to make significant investment in the development of our people and our campus to achieve this, as maintaining an average of 20 students or less in our classes is at the heart of a St Paul’s education. Again, this is a deliberate strategic choice that we believe provides the greatest opportunity for every student to reach their full potential.

As another successful academic year at St Paul’s draws to a close, I wish to acknowledge all of our staff both inside and outside the classroom. Our amazing teaching staff but also the people behind the scenes, the volunteers, Facilities, Grounds, Cleaning, Matrons, Gappies, sports team coaches and assistants, Marketing, Student Services and Health, Finance, Admin, Procurement and the amazing kitchen team – we acknowledge your efforts and contributions to St Paul’s in 2025. You all make the St Paul’s difference real, for our students and wider St Paul’s community.

To those staff members who conclude their time with us today, I thank each and every one of you for your dedication and service to the school.

I particularly want to acknowledge Associate

Headmaster, Craig Hardman (and his wife Brooke) who is heading to Lindisfarne College as Rector. Craig has served the school for almost 19 years as a teacher, boarding staff member, PE Teacher, Head of Department, House Master, Coach, and is widely acknowledged as a highperforming Senior Leadership Team member (responsible for Boarding, Tihoi and School operations) and has also been Acting Headmaster. Craig has been exceptional in all those roles and has made a real difference to all those he has worked with. We wish Craig and Brooke well with their exciting new chapter.

I also wish to acknowledge and say thank you for the contribution made by my fellow trustees, Teri Veitch, Bruce Miller, Ali Grigg, Jon Calder, Ross Brown, Sir David Moxon, Cath Clark, Karen O’Meeghan, Jacque Schuker and James Gurnick – thank you.

To leavers departing in 2025 –we wish you the best, and on behalf of the board, can I say thank you to all our parents and guardians for your commitment, support and loyalty to our school. We value and are mindful of the sacrifices you make to send your sons and daughters to St Paul’s.

Enjoy the upcoming break.

HEADMASTER’S ADDRESS

Mr Ben Skeen

Teenaa koutou e te whaanau

Kei te mihi ki te Atua, ki a Ihu Karaiti hoki

Kuini Ngaa-wai Hono I Te Poo, paimaarire

Ki te hunga mate, e moe, e moe, e moe

Ki a taatou katoa, kia ora

Chair of the Waikato Anglican College Trust Board, Mr Andrew Johnson, Archbishop Sir David Moxon, trustees, fellows, staff, parents, friends of our School, and most importantly, the young people who sit before me today representing the vitality and courage of a generation ready to lead, it is my privilege to present the 66th Headmaster’s Report for St Paul’s Collegiate School.

I love educational environments. Every year there is building in progress; the building upon students’

academic knowledge, the building of new physical spaces, the building of deepening cultural connection, the building of one’s character, the list goes on. So, it seems appropriate today to share some of the building highlights at St Paul’s throughout 2025. These include:

The building upon students’ academic knowledge. This has included the continuation of our unapologetic focus on teachers teaching, an increased emphasis on academic tracking to ensure that ultimately the overwhelming majority of students gain University Entrance so that all pathways are open to them beyond our gates (regardless of the next step that they may wish to take), the continuation of Year 9 specialist literacy and numeracy classes for 75% of our most junior

students to ensure gaps in understanding and application can be addressed early, and the successful second full year of the St Paul’s Diploma at Year 11 (providing explicit curriculum content and rigorous assessment mechanisms).

All the meanwhile we have championed the proposed nationwide secondary school assessment changes, as we stand for a robust and aspirational education system.

The building of new or refurbished physical spaces. This has included the almost completed $15m project

The Hive, the Sargood Boarding House extension and refurbishment works, the activation of Puutahi (the Tihoi Staff Offices and Visitor Centre), the new Textile Technology workshop and two new-build Harington Boarding staff

townhouses. These projects have occurred alongside the early commencement of 2026 property works, including two additional toilet block facilities, additional Harington Day common room space (on the current School Shop footprint), a new 20-bed Harington Boarding complex and the Harington Boarding common room extension, to name but a few.

The building of further capabilities in teaching. This has included ensuring teaching staff members get off campus to visit other educational providers (so that they can observe, learn and bring back into our setting examples of great practice), the development of an Artificial Intelligence policy, procedures and practice (which will assist not only in operational efficiency and resource creation, but also in the embedding of a critical thinking emphasis within courses and units of work), and expert professional development training, especially in the sphere of enhancing student pastoral support strategies across staff members.

The building of momentum as we plan for the introduction of Year 9 girls next year. This has included hiring outstanding new staff (of note we have been interviewing since June this year in readiness to ensure we appoint the best and brightest), the targeted professional development for teachers focused on effective strategies for supporting younger-aged female students, the reviewing of our orientation experience and wider enrolment processes, and the refinement of our junior courses (and where appropriate modifying course options to ensure our junior school programmes offer a variety of subjects across each curriculum strand).

We have continued:

• Building even greater visibility of our steadfast

expectations and aspirations - through the School’s refreshed vision and values. In particular I wish to note the call to both contemplation and action contained within the messaging of the weekly Chaplain’s Pen (such reflections are crucial at a time where we are all saturated by a society that promotes individualism and selfimportance).

• Building students’ passions via extracurricular experiences - through compulsory sport, music, cultural activities, the performing arts.

• Building awareness of the realities and needs facing others within our community - through hugely successful Charity Days and Fundraising Initiatives (with over $100k raised this year alone), and an active, voluntary service, mission and outreach offering for all interested students.

• Building resiliencethrough the Tihoi Venture School programme, compulsory House competition participation, regular tests and examinations.

• Building a passion for landscapes beyond the

horizon - through domestic and international education outside the classroom opportunities.

And importantly, the building of young people full of hope and conviction. This has included our students regularly sharing in large group contexts their stories, their wisdom, their respective calls to action. As examples of this studentled inspiration, I will forever remember Matilda Miller’s address at the Harington Day House Dinner when in reference to the future she eloquently shared the sentiment “there are seats for you at tables you have never seen, doors you haven’t opened yet, and so many opportunities that are waiting for you to grab them.”

And who could forget the courage of Toby Bowler during a Pride Week Assembly address when he implored us all to realise “The difference is really made when we treat everyone with empathy, no matter how different they are to us.” These student-led moments matter, for the lives of our young people are constantly being built and shaped by the experience and guidance of those who have walked before them.

In short, we have been busy building in 2025.

2025 Great Oak Award recipients Annie Stokes and Roy Zhu

The colloquial expression “Rome wasn’t built in a day” continues to be widely used in modern society, inferring building anything of substance takes time, and by default typically relies on the efforts of many. I now wish to express gratitude to the many individuals who have contributed deeply and meaningfully to our journey of building people, places and programmes across 2025.

Firstly, to our parents, proud whaanau who support and believe in an educational foundation firmly grounded in faith and whanaunatanga; thank you for your trust in our staff, thank you for giving us the honour of building alongside your treasured sons and daughters.

To the leaving class of 2025, I want you to know that I sat in this Whare Karakia yesterday afternoon, and as our Chamber Choir performed ‘The Celtic Blessing, May The Road Rise Up to Meet You’ during the Leavers’ Service, I sat in my chair and I cried. This is not common for me. As the choir so beautifully sang the words “Until we meet again, May God hold you, May God hold you, May God hold you, In the palm of his hand”

tears ran down my face. I was overwhelmed. Overwhelmed not by the imminent departure of Tilly, the School cat (who the Hardman family are stealing from us), but rather by the departure of you as a Year 13 cohort. The mixture of your connectivity, humour, vulnerability and hope, I have only ever personally experienced to the same intensity from one other departing class in 20+ years of education. So, thank you; I pray that God may hold each of you as you set out to lead lives of phenomenal contribution and impact.

To Head Girl, Georgia Roberts, Head Boy, Roy Zhu, Deputy Head Girl, Annie Stokes, and Deputy Head Boy, William Peoples, please know that while I would obviously never acknowledge it in public, each of you are incredibly talented, hard-working and fun young adults who are living like the wholehearted in the arena. I have truly cherished our time together and have delighted in watching you grow.

To construct lives that truly matter we need to be guided by master builders. Thank you to the wonderful humans who form the St Paul’s staff; dedicated and enthusiastic

individuals who across all facets of school life seek to position the building blocks in place so our young people can flourish. At the start of this year, I challenged you as a team, and as individuals, to ‘do things that scare you’. I have watched on, observing countless examples of this challenge being accepted. So, thank you; thank you for living out Marianne Williamson’s attestation that “as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.”

To the members of the School’s Senior Leadership Team, including my dear friend and Executive Assistant, Miss Jennifer Purvis, my heartfelt appreciation for your collective, unwavering commitment and energy to the Kaupapa we are advancing. It is with an abundance of conviction, humour, and grace you are leading this community through change. Each of you are the architects and the laborers. Thank you for fighting for the things that matter.

Importantly, the conclusion of this school year marks the departure of the much-loved Mr Craig Hardman after 19 years of devoted, passionate and selfless service to St Paul’s, as

he takes on his well-deserved appointment as Rector of Lindisfarne College in the Hawkes Bay. At yesterday’s Final Headmaster’s Assembly, Mr Hardman addressed the school and in his concluding remarks he signed off by saying, “Thank you for the memories, the laughter, the lessons. I’ve loved being part of this school . . . This is not a place of busyness; this is a place of magic and opportunities.” Well sir, I speak on behalf of us all in echoing straight back to you the following - thank you for being part of our memories, thank you for your laughter, thank you for the lessons you have taught us; we have loved having you as part of this school. You are the magic; you have created so many opportunities. We will remain forever grateful to, and for, you.

To the trustees of the Waikato Anglican College Trust Board - please know how much your stewardship of both the present and the future is seen and deeply valued. Thank you for your critique, counsel and commitment to our great school. To the Board Chairman, Mr Andrew Johnson, it was five years ago we first met. You told me why this community was so special; yet you humbly failed to mention the enormous contribution of time and heart you provide to enhance the environment and its people. Thank you for your continued presence and passion.

To the directors of the St Paul’s Foundation, led by the generous and thoughtful Mr John Jackson, to our Collegians Association Executive and future-focused President Mr Ryan McCarthy (class of 1997), and to our committed Parents’ Association members, led by Mrs Tomasina Antunovich, please know that all successful building sites require a combination of contractors expertly executing their specialised functions all at the

same time. Thank you for your collective effort and belief.

To Hayley, my wife, as we continue to build our own family and treasured memories and moments, thank you for allowing the St Paul’s family to share me at the same time. You remain the best Site Manager I know. I love you.

As we, the St Paul’s community, near the conclusion of ‘Project 2025’, I stand before you as the proud son of a father who was a builder. And while memories of his unfinished jobs around the family home remained vivid long after his passing, the recalling of his delayed ‘works in progress’ explanations continue to remind me even today that we are all unfinished, incomplete, flawed, constructed on foundations we faithfully hope and pray will

weather storms and sunshine alike in the times ahead. Critically though, God has already given us all everything we will ever need, so we should march on with sketch pads, hammers and chisels to build lives that truly matter.

Over the weeks ahead as the unpredictability of spring gives way to the warm embrace of summer, I wish all members of our St Paul’s whaanau countless moments of both stillness and energy-filled family fun. Let us seek to expand photo albums of memories built on faith, hope and love.

May the Lord bless you and keep you, may his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.

Teenaa koutou, teenaa koutou, teenaa taatou katoa.

Roy Zhu HEAD BOY REFLECTION

I am 18 years old and I still get dropped off at school by mum or dad in the mornings. I am also getting braces soon. I have realised that I have not really changed since I was in Year 9. (I reckon if you put me with my Year 9 self for a day, we would have lots of fun). This is not to say I have not learnt anything; St Paul’s has shown me more than I could ever listen to in class.

My parents are grateful that I have not changed much (personalitywise) since Year 9. Probably because, in this way, they can

still see me as their little boy reading picture books. Rather than changing the people we are – our childhood stories – St Paul’s has introduced us to a new set of picture books that have primed us to pen our own pages of adulthood.

Before I reveal the titles of these picture books, I must acknowledge who made them possible. I liken you, Mum, to the editor of these books. You always annoy me with things like unloading the washing machine, but I know you do this because you love me more than anything (at least I never get chafing now). And Dad, there is not as much to say about you because you are always taking a nap. However, no matter how tired you are after a long day of work – you never fail to make an incredible dinner for our family. Mum and Dad, you put family before anything. Your sacrifice to ensure I have had the opportunities you never had (like attending St Paul’s) is a blessing I hope to live up to one day. The same goes for my grandparents. I am forever grateful for the

dumplings you fold and for having you so close every day. Finally, I always find it funny when you tell off Mum.

Ultimately, to whom I owe the greatest gratitude are our teachers. You have still allowed us to write our own pages, but have given us every piece of stationery to do so. Thank you to Mr Sharma and Dr McGrath, as well as Mr Lewis, for being our role models in Fitchett. Especially you, Mr Sharma: thank you for shouting us KFC. To the senior leadership team – Mr Skeen, Mrs Miller and Mr Hardman – thank you for showing us how to lead, instead of telling. Thank you Rev: through you, we have seen what it truly means to put others before yourself. Thank you to Mr Evans and the Tihoi staff, Mrs Fox and the music faculty, Mr Jet Lim, Mr Aldridge and Mr Coley, for your constant passion and support in driving our standards with genuine care. Perhaps the mightiest thanks goes to Chris, Ellie and especially you, Nina, for the criminally tasty meals, and for allowing us to grow past 5’6 or 5’7.

2025 Head Boy Roy Zhu

Last, but leagues from least, thank you to our teachers. In 2025, Ms Spenceley, Mrs Keep, Mr Summerfield, Mr Taylor and Mrs Pitu: I do not know how you put up with such bothersome students who do not respect your personal space (not sure who that may be). Regardless, you have remained patient, dedicated and genuinely cared for us, and for that, I thank you.

To you, Georgia, Annie and Will: you have been like the dad of my parents – not much to say about you. On the other hand, I look up to each and every one of you every day, and we all have much to learn from you. Thank you for always being you. The same goes for the prefect group, and our whole Year 13 cohort. You are all inspiring, and our parents can rest assured knowing that the future of our world’s picture book – all of its illustrations – lies in your artistry. Finally, to my friends, I am grateful that you have supported me and not treated me differently. Thank you.

Finally, I know you are dying to know the titles of these picture books St Paul’s has cultivated us with. The titles? My Little Pony , Thomas the Tank Engine , SpongeBob SquarePants , Sesame Street and Winnie the Pooh These stories represent our five school values: Respect, Integrity, Belonging, Spirituality and – very importantly – Resilience. Although they were only introduced this year, they have underlined the words we have been writing for seasons.

Murray, from Sesame Street , has always told us the importance of ‘Treating people the way you want to be treated.’ I would like to start with what has been a non-negotiable: respect. Within St Paul’s, respect has not been just a physical ‘value’; it has been a way of carrying ourselves – a style of writing. In Year 9, senior leadership, teachers and prefects treated us with the same respect as now (as Year 13s), and this cycle continues.

‘Whatever job you’re doing, make sure you’re doing it right.’ Thomas the Tank Engine exemplifies integrity. Similarly, my dad always tells me, ‘Roy, if you’re going to do something, do it well.’ I think

he is trying to tell me something. Integrity came through most clearly during Tihoi. In the beginning, we were taught what the right thing to do was. By the end, we carried ourselves with the same purpose, whether or not somebody was watching.

‘A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside.’ Winnie the Pooh expertly epitomises the core of St Paul’s: belonging. On my first day in Year 9, I was lost around the prodigious campus. Luckily, another Year 9 (Max Gurnick – Head of Fitchett this year) came up to me. He took me up to Fitchett House, where Mr Lewis embarrassingly welcomed me in front of the entire house. These people showed us that we belonged.

‘Doing things out of kindness means you do not expect anything in return. You just want to help somebody in need.’ Fluttershy – my favourite character from My Little Pony – demonstrates a special cornerstone of St Paul’s: spirituality. Spirituality can encompass many directions; most powerfully, it has been through connection with our community. Rev, along with the Mission Outreach and Service space, has embodied what it means to put others before yourself, through serving our local hospital, refugee centres and Cancer Society Lodge.

I have left ‘resilience’ to last because it is what St Paul’s has offered us the most. As well as SpongeBob SquarePants : ‘I’ll have you know that I stubbed my toe last week, and only cried for 20

minutes!’ The homesickness and challenging outdoors made Tihoi a demanding experience. However, most importantly, we learnt to think differently. The legendary tutor Boyd McManus – not quite a picture book character – always reminded us, ‘You can be cold, wet and miserable, or you can just be cold and wet.’ This made all the difference. Hopefully, when stubbing our toes in the future, we will only cry for 10 minutes.

I am still waiting for my braces and to drive myself to school. We have a long way to go, but St Paul’s has provided us with a set of values – a crucial set of picture books – that will hold us steadfast in our following illustrations. These stories would not have been curated without the love and dedication of Mum and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, our Housemasters, senior leadership, our beloved teachers and, finally, our Year 13 cohort. It is to you that we all owe our deepest gratitude, appreciation and thanks. Because of you, my favourite childhood book is still Winnie the Pooh : ‘How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.’

Georgia Roberts HEAD GIRL REFLECTION

It’s hard to condense three years at St Paul’s into a single word or phrase. Too many moments, too many people and too many lessons have shaped these years into something far bigger than a single word could ever capture. Abraham Lincoln said, ‘It’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.’

My three years at St Paul’s have been just that, full of life. In the friendships and memories we created together, St Paul’s became a chapter of life I will always look back on with

gratitude. This school became more than a place of learning; it became a home away from home, a family and a foundation that will stay with me long after I, and we as a cohort, leave.

Looking back, I realise it was never just about the experiences themselves. It was about who I experienced them with. The people are what made St Paul’s home. Friendships here aren’t something you stumble into by

chance; they’re forged in the shared chaos of teenage life. My friends have been my anchor throughout this year, and I’ll carry those friendships as one of the greatest gifts St Paul’s has given me.

But peers were not the only ones shaping these years. Our teachers, mentors and boarding staff have played an equally central role, investing in us not only academically, but as people. They

Georgia with brother Jack and Nana at Grandparents' Day

pushed us beyond the curriculum, reminded us that failure is part of growth and modelled the resilience they asked of us. To all who gave up time, patience and care for us as a cohort, thank you.

To my family, thank you for being the constant behind the scenes, supporting me through every success, setback and everything in between. You saw the worst of me, dealing with my late-night phone calls when all I had was the ability to complain. Mum and Dad, I’ll always be grateful to you for giving me the freedom, support and love to make this my second home.

When I arrived at St Paul’s, I learned that everyone finds their place. It’s daunting, stepping into a community so established and vibrant. But slowly, almost without realising, it began to feel comfortable. That’s the beauty of this place; no matter who you are or where you come from, there’s space for you to belong. My wish for every new student stepping through these gates is that they too, find that sense of belonging that St Paul’s becomes, just as it became mine. And now, as the Year 13s of 2025, we leave after finding our place here, ready to begin the next chapter and to find a new place.

I was blessed during my time here to experience the St Paul’s rowing environment. Countless training sessions on the river, bus rides to the lake and shared exhaustion weren’t just about building strength or technique. Rowing taught me about teamwork, resilience and supporting others; lessons I carried into my role as Head Girl and into my interactions with our Year 13 cohort. The same patience, encouragement and sense of responsibility that kept us moving forward as a crew also helped shape the culture of the environment we all created together this year. In many ways, my rowing journey was a microcosm of what our journey as a cohort has been: challenging, rewarding and defined by the bonds we formed along the way.

This year, I had the privilege of serving you as Head Girl, a role that inspired me and gave me the chance to contribute in ways I hadn’t before, giving back to this

place I have enjoyed so much. I am especially grateful to the prefect team who supported me throughout this journey. To Roy, Annie and Will, thank you for your leadership, humour and constant support. Your presence made this year not only manageable but memorable, and I couldn’t have asked for better partners in this role.

To the prefects as a whole, and to those who weren’t but still went above and beyond, thank you for showing up, for caring and for making a real difference in the culture of our school.

For us as a cohort, this year has been about shaping a culture we are proud to leave behind. Together, we brought energy into everyday life that carried throughout the school, creating a sense of unity and positivity. That will be our legacy. I’m grateful for every person in our year group who contributed to that culture: the smiles, the

encouragement, the willingness to step up. You made this place feel like a community and those house competitions so much more exciting.

Next year, new Year 9 girls will walk through these gates, nerves hidden beneath smiles, excitement tinged with uncertainty. Be filled with gratefulness that you will get to experience five years of this wonderful place, and make the most of each one.

Reflecting on these years, I’d describe St Paul’s as transformational. It has been a place where we were challenged and where we failed, but also where we got back up, learned, grew and succeeded. It has moulded us into people capable of carrying these lessons into the future. And so I end with gratitude. Thank you, St Paul’s, for giving me more than I knew I needed.

DEPUTY HEAD BOY REFLECTION

William Peoples

The other day, I was watching a video of Brad Pitt’s speech about ‘the company you keep’, which resonated with me and my St Paul’s journey. He said he read a passage where a character asked, ‘Which is more important, the journey or the destination?’ and another replied, ‘It’s the company.’

This lesson hit hard and made me reflect on the last five years of my life as a St Paul’s student. I then realised that in another five years, when I reflect on my time at school, I won’t remember the long queues I waited in for lunch. I won’t remember sitting out of breath when running from the car park to Hamilton House just to make it through the doors by 8:00am. And it will not be the early morning wake-ups for my rowing trainings. Instead, I will remember the people I’m standing next to, trying to sneak in the back of those queues at lunch. I will remember the friends I collapse and sit next to when walking through Hamilton House’s door. And it will definitely be the people who can

put a smile on my face at 5:45am when walking down to the boat shed.

So, for my reflection this year, I decided to thank and dedicate it to the people with whom I have shared my journey. Firstly, my parents. Thank you for all the times you hustled me into the car in the morning, dropped off my training gear to me when I forgot it, and helped me with homework when it didn’t seem to click. But most of all, thank you for this opportunity to come to St Paul’s and for the support you have given; it has meant the world to me.

I would also like to thank every single one of my amazing teachers. Their unwavering support and dedication are the sole reasons that I have made it through my high school journey. This is shown through their patience when explaining a concept I don’t understand for the fourth time, turning up to countless hours of extra tutorials, as well as teaching with enthusiasm day in and day out. I can’t thank you enough.

To Roy, Georgia and Annie, it has been an absolute delight to work alongside you as Heads of School. To Annie, who always, without a doubt, will show up with a smile and enthusiasm that you can feel 100m away, and who is always ready to work and make a change.

To Roy, for always being ready to be focused and get work done, but just as ready to joke around to keep the mood high. To Georgia, for always being so organised and driven, whilst being a supportive friend that I know will always have my back.

To my Hamilton House brothers, the rowers who were my family away from home, and all my other amazing friends across Year 13, you are the ones who will fill the memories of my St Paul’s journey, and I can’t thank you enough for the amazing company. And although we have reached our destinations as Year 13 leavers, our journey continues far into the future. So let me know where your journey is taking you, talk to me about the destinations you make it to, and tell me about the new company you have found.

DEPUTY HEAD GIRL REFLECTION

Annie Stokes

When it was time to write my first address to the school as the Deputy Head Girl, I sat in the very spot I am now sitting in, staring at a blank page. What could I possibly say to capture my aspirations for the year ahead? Now I find myself in the same seat, once again typing, deleting and retyping – only this time, it’s not about what I hope to do, but about what St Paul’s has already given me.

If there’s one thread that’s run through my time here, it is the belief in ‘giving everything a go.' This approach has led to some of my proudest moments – like watching my Strava tick over to 50km at the end of the Charity Relay and again at the Relay for Life. Yet with this approach came an important realisation: you can’t do it all. At St Paul’s, where the opportunities feel endless, it’s tempting to say ‘yes’ to everything – until you’re stretched too thin. True value comes not from ticking every box, but from throwing yourself with 100% commitment into the things that matter most.

This lesson has been reinforced time and time again through serving as Deputy Head Girl. What St Paul’s offers is irreplaceable: the feeling of belonging and pride ripping through Sargood’s haka amid a sea of red; or unwavering support of teachers who push you that one step further.

Working alongside Will, Georgia and Roy has been one of the greatest privileges of my time here. Despite the occasional moments –from miscommunications that left Mr Hardman receiving four versions of the same email, to ‘quick’ meetings that stretched well into period 3, thanks to the irresistible lure of Year 13 morning tea – the highlights have far outweighed the chaos. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunities and challenges along the way, whether it was the fun of organising events such as the Junior Social or the Pink Ribbon Breakfast, pushing through public speaking nerves, or learning valuable lessons which will carry me beyond the gates of St Paul’s. To my peers, thank you for your energy and enthusiasm. It’s your collective spirit that has shaped

the fun, success and meaning of this year. To my parents – thank you for every call, every hug, and every drive over the Kaimais. Your support has meant everything.

To my teachers, thank you for your patience, your encouragement and for reading far-too-long internals without complaint. And to the kitchen staff: thank you for the smiles, the check-ins and the food that has made St Paul’s feel like home.

To the Class of 2025: what you put in is what you get out. Choose wisely where you invest your time and energy, and give it everything. I can’t wait to see where each of your journeys take you. A quote that has stayed with me throughout my time here is this: ‘Our real lives aren’t just beginning now. We’ve been living our real lives since the day we were born.’ And in the words of Natasha Bedingfield, ‘the rest is still unwritten.’ So take the lessons, the friendships and the memories from this chapter, and let them give you the courage to write the next.

themselves, what has stood out to me is the way everyone has come together, supported one another and shown real pride in being part of Clark.

Deputy Head of House: Cameron Lalich, Lucas Hale and Millicent Whetu

Housemaster: Mr Rees-Gibbs

Deputy Housemaster: Mr de Klerk and Mr Doyle

Matron: Mrs Wilson

This year has been a rewarding one for Clark House and it has been a privilege to serve as Head of House. More than the results

House competitions this year have had their ups and downs. We have had strong performances, such as winning the House Haka competition and placing second in House Singing, showing the effort and unity that went into that performance. Both results are examples of teamwork and commitment across the House.

Arts Day was more difficult, with Clark finishing sixth, but I believe setbacks like this only make us stronger. Importantly, at the time of writing this report, we are sitting third overall, just two points off first place, which shows how competitive we remain.

I am very grateful to my fellow Head of House, Martie Devlin, and our deputies, Cam Lalich, Lucas Hale and Millie Whetu, who have been outstanding in their roles. I also want to thank Mr Rees-Gibbs, Mr de Klerk, Mr Doyle and Mr Walters for the encouragement and guidance they have given throughout the year.

Most of all, I want to thank every member of Clark House. Your

effort, energy and spirit have made this year so memorable for me. As my time in this role comes to an end, I am excited to see what the future holds for Clark in 2026 and beyond. I know the house is in good hands, and I look forward to watching it continue to grow from strength to strength.

Coming off the back of winning the overall House Competition in 2024, this year presented a fresh challenge for Fitchett House. While we were unable to repeat that same level of success, 2025

has still been a year of growth, resilience and the strengthening of our community spirit.

A real highlight was our dominant performance at Swimming Sports, where we came away with a win that lifted the house's enthusiasm. This achievement showcased both the talent of our competitors and the dedication of our house supporters, who created an atmosphere full of energy and pride in order for our swimmers to thrive. Another standout moment this year came in the House Quiz, where we finished in second place. At the time of writing this report, this result stood as a testament to the wide range of strengths within our house, proving that we can excel beyond sport.

More importantly, this year was about building on who we are as a house. We identified a problem and worked on it by incorporating the girls more into our activities, creating opportunities for everyone to feel included, whether through games, Kahoots or simply being more welcoming in dayto-day interactions. That focus on connection and inclusiveness has helped us grow into a tighter, more supportive community which will strengthen the house for years to come.

While we may not have achieved the same results as last year, I am proud of every single member of Fitchett House. The culture we are quickly building is what will carry us forward into the future. Fitchett is becoming more than just a house – it’s a family – and this year we have laid strong foundations for even greater things to come.

HALL

Deputy Head of House: Jesse Chen, Jay Benefield and Ashlee Wade

Housemaster: Mr McCarthy

Deputy Housemaster: Mr Stewart

This year has been a journey of growth, resilience and developing a community within Hall House. While our placings in Haka, Swimming and Athletics Day saw us sitting towards the bottom of the standings at the time of writing this report, these results

do not define who we are as a house. Instead, they highlight an important part of our story: the determination to keep showing up, to keep improving and to keep supporting one another no matter the outcome.

Our proudest achievement came with Arts Day, where Hall House rose to the very top, claiming a triumphant first place. This victory showcased not only the incredible talent within our house, but also the diversity of strengths we hold. Whether it’s performance, creativity, sport or spirit, Hall House has proven that success comes in many forms. Arts Day reminded us of just what we are capable of when we bring our unique abilities together and give our best as a united team.

But beyond results, 2025 has been about building a strong and supportive community within Hall House. We have come a long way as a house this year, growing closer, celebrating each other’s successes and learning from our challenges.

Placings may not always reflect the heart of a house, but the spirit of Hall is stronger than ever. We are diverse, we are resilient and we are a community that continues to rise together. This

year has set the foundation for even greater things ahead – and we are only just getting started.

HAMILTON

Head of House: George MacDonald and Annabelle Flexman

Deputy Head of House: Adam Chapman, Joel Aitchison and Georgia Scott

Housemaster: Mr Summerfield

Deputy Housemaster: Mr Rawson

Manaakitanga, Kotahitanga, Whanaungatanga: the three core values of Hamilton House, and three words that have become synonymous with the Hamilton House experience. My focus for Hamilton this year was to

continue to foster the vibrant, supportive and welcoming culture of the House, and it has been a privilege to witness this environment flourish throughout the year.

A crucial factor in the success of any organisation or team is the foundation on which it stands, and Hamilton House has achieved success in the 2025 House Competition through its powerful foundation. Starting off strong by placing first in Athletics, Hamilton House came together to display the strength we hold both individually and as a collective. With a focus on participation and attitude, the house has maintained consistent performances in House events –placing in the top three for House Athletics, Haka, Swimming, Choir and Arts Day (so far) – which showcases the value of our determination and unity.

However, success isn’t exclusively measured by numbers on a scoresheet, and while the House Competition is important, perhaps the most significant success of 2025 has been the connections and interactions that occur within the house. Despite Hamilton House continuing to grow in size each year, the sense of community within the house this year has

felt stronger than ever before, with meaningful connections developing between all different year levels, backgrounds, beliefs and personalities.

None of this development and success would have been possible without the influence of Mr Summerfield, Mr Rawson and all other support staff and house leaders, and I am incredibly grateful for being able to be part of the Hamilton House experience. I look forward to watching how the amazing culture and group of young people in Hamilton House develop in the future, as this house has something truly valuable and unique.

The year 2025 in Harington Boarding has been filled with love, laughter and moments we will never forget. We began the year in the bush with an unforgettable

Girls’ Camp at Tihoi, full of bonding, new friendships and introducing many girls to the famous morning surprise. This set the tone for the year ahead, creating memories that kickstarted our boarding family.

Our Houses have continued to shine across all areas of the School, guided by their inspiring Heads of House, who have poured their whole hearts into leadership. Williams, led by Emily Davies, dominated the sporting scene, taking out Standards, Athletics and Cross Country. Clark House, under the leadership of Martie Devlin, showed strength and unity by winning the biggest event of the year, Haka. Meanwhile, Sargood House, led by Freddie Savill, once again extended its incredible rowing legacy by coming out on top and winning first place.

The true highlight of 2025 was, without a doubt, our annual Boarders' Charity Relay. Every single Harington girl rose to the challenge, completing a halfmarathon and showing resilience, determination and support for one another. A special congratulations goes to the six girls who pushed themselves even further to complete a full marathon. This is an extraordinary achievement that

embodies the Harington spirit. This year has been filled with competition, celebration and joy, none of which would have been possible without the love and guidance of our housemasters Mrs Lock, Mrs Lilley and Mrs Pollock, along with our dedicated matron, residential assistants and gappies. The spirit within Harington Boarding grows stronger every year, and 2025 has reminded us all of the pride and joy that comes with being part of our boarding family.

From the moment you become a member of Harington House, you realise how truly special it is. The connection, laughter and love we have shared through the four purple walls of Harington this year are immeasurable. We started 2025 with a bang, with all Year 11s and many Year 13s bonding through activities such as high ropes, abseiling and skit-making at the Tihoi campus. The fun carried through the year as we held Easter colouring competitions, guess-the-numberof-chocolate-eggs-in-the-jar, shared morning teas, speed dating and student-led house periods of dodgeball and silent ball.

Under the leadership of our amazing Heads of House –Annabelle Flexman, Caitlin Foote, Issy Rhind and Gracie Sarich – our Harington girls immersed themselves and thrived in the competitive nature that St Paul’s house competitions bring. Many of them stepped outside their comfort zones in areas such as House Haka, House Music, Athletics and Swimming Sports, competing with passion and commitment (and often outshining the boys).

A very special mention must go to Mrs Wallis, who has upheld the positive, welcoming and fun environment that makes so many girls feel at home in Harington Day. Without her continuous support and encouragement, many of these activities would not have been possible.

I am incredibly grateful and proud to have led our 150 female day students at St Paul’s this year. The mana, grace and grit each and every one of them has shown throughout the year make me proud to lead such a powerful group of waahine. This year has been truly unforgettable, and I wish every one of them the very best for whatever next year entails.

This year in Sargood has been one of grit, growth and genuine connection. Living in the midst of a construction site has tested our resilience daily. We’ve adapted,

supported one another and kept the spirit of The Brotherhood alive.

Alongside our successes, we’ve faced challenges. As the smallest house, competing in house events has been tough. We battled hard and gave everything. While we may have fallen short on the results table, the effort and heart shown by every Sargood student is something to be proud of.

We have also hugely appreciated our connection with the Harington/Sargood boarding girls. Through shared house meetings, dessert nights, or cheering each other on at events, we’ve built a partnership rooted in mutual respect and camaraderie. Together, we’ve worked to strengthen our shared culture and support each other and Sargood to be the best it could be.

None of this would’ve been possible without the support of our house staff. They set the foundation and carry the baton when it comes to upholding what it means to be Sargood, a culture built on brotherhood. Their guidance, patience and care are felt in every corner of the house.

While the year has brought disruption, the emerging home

of Sargood will be something very special. The legacy of 2025 will be felt in the relationships formed, the leaders grown, and The Brotherhood that continues to thrive.

This year, 2025, has been one of the most eventful years I've ever had as a student at St Paul's, and by extension, in my life. Our house, ‘The Mighty School House’ (as our house chant goes), has worked vicariously through highs and lows to reach where

we currently stand on the leader board. First place as of writing this. In my five years here we've never come this close to victory, and whether or not we end the competition at the top, it's been truly incredible to watch this house grow to where it sits today.

This is certainly in part of School House's incredible pastoral staff, and the shift in the attitude of students in the last five years. Mr Teka and Mr de Beer have worked tirelessly to promote a more welcoming, friendly house atmosphere - and one in which hard work is expected but results aren't a requisite requirement. The shift has been palpable, and I've heard many School House students, particularly Year 13s, who have experienced this upwards trending roller coaster of a journey, express a similar sentiment.

But School House staff doesn't just include those with ‘named’ roles. Mrs Pitu, Mr Wilson, Mr Mika, Mr Mann, Ms Schollum and Whaea Puhi have all been incredible contributors to the amazing year to date. I owe them my full respect and gratitude for all of their hard work.

Events that stood out to me this year were House Music, where we

truly put our full School House spirit out there, as a cohesive unit, and clinched the victory, Athletics Day where everybody did their part and rose the house to a very high standing, and my personal favorite, Winter Sports Day, where I got to witness the wonderful talents of so many of School House's students.

It truly made me realise what matters. Representation, unity in uniqueness and camaraderie. It's been a privilege to witness the growth of School House these last five years, and I wouldn't change a single moment for the world. I will leave School House at the end of the year excited for the future of the house, and content with the year that has been.

Deputy Head of House:

Housemaster: Mr Ross

Deputy Housemaster: Mr Emslie, Mr Tarbotton and Mr Van Der Merwe (Term 1)

Matron: Mrs Van der Walt

At the beginning of 2025, Williams House set out to live by our mantra, ‘Better Than Before,’ building on the strong traditions

of past years. It has been an honour to serve as Head of House and to see the boys and girls work hard, compete passionately and support each other across all areas of School.

This year, we enjoyed great success in the House Competition. We came first in Athletics Standards and tied for first place in Athletics with Hamilton and School House. This marked the third time overall, and second consecutive year, that Williams House has won both events together – a true reflection of consistency and determination. We also placed second in the House Haka, third in Swimming, and our proudest achievement came in Cross Country, claiming first place for the fourth consecutive year. While Choir and Arts Day were not our strongest results, the boys still gave their best and upheld the spirit of Williams.

Beyond the results, what stood out most this year was the culture of the House. From haka practices to playing footy after prep, and from study to boarding life as a whole, the boys and girls came together as one, showing commitment, leadership and pride in wearing the mean and green Williams House colours.

As 2025 comes to a close, I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved and confident that the legacy of this year will continue to strengthen Williams House in the years ahead.

CHAPLAIN’S REFLECTIONS

Saint Paul wrote to the Philippians: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank Him for His answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace.”

It has been a remarkable year. I carried these words with me on sabbatical, following in the footsteps of Saint Paul. During the course of more than 30,000kms, I traced his four missionary journeys, which together spanned over 20 years of his life. From his birthplace in Tarsus, Turkey, to his martyrdom in Rome, it was an extraordinary privilege to connect the story of Saint Paul with the life of our school.

Of course, such opportunities are only possible because of the incredible team we have in our Chapel. My heartfelt thanks go to Assistant Chaplain Mr Byron de Beer, Chapel Prefects Sean Lester and Fletcher Sefton, and Mission, Outreach and Service Prefects Daniel Zhao and Charlotte Belz. Their dedication, energy and leadership throughout 2025 have been outstanding.

Chapel and Service Highlights

This year saw many memorable moments in both the Chapel

of Christ the King and our wider mission and service programmes. Our Charity Days, the Boarders’ Charity Relay, our partnership with Flame Cambodia, participation in the Cancer Society’s Relay for Life and countless other initiatives, combined to raise more than $100,000 for worthy causes across the Waikato and beyond. This is a record for our school—a fantastic achievement made possible by the commitment of students, staff and supporters alike.

We also celebrated the growth and strength of our service programmes, which continue to make a significant impact both locally and globally. These include Over the Fence, the Refugee Orientation Centre Trust AfterSchool Programme, the Cancer Society Lions Cancer Lodge Music Programme, The Serve, Hospital Chaplaincy and the St Joan’s Ukulele Club. Each of these initiatives has thrived thanks to the generous support of staff and students who give their time, talents and energy so willingly.

A particular highlight was the inaugural student service trip with the Solomon Islands Medical Mission in September. In partnership with Bethlehem College, our students worked

alongside local staff at the Fauabu Clinic on the island of Malaita, contributing to medical care and community health. This pioneering trip was a powerful example of service in action, deeply shaping the lives of both the students and the community they served.

Another highlight has been the Year 9 Chapel Services, where each group worked collaboratively to create thoughtful, challenging and high-quality messages for our whole school community.

Closing Reflections

It has been a year of blessing in every space we serve, always grounded in the belief that true education is holistic—nurturing body, mind and spirit. As we close 2025, I return again to Paul’s words: “Don’t worry about anything; pray about everything; and don’t forget to thank God for His answers.”

Thank you to all staff, students, families and supporters who have contributed to making this such a remarkable year of faith, service and community.

FLAME CAMBODIA 2024

At the end of 2024, a group of 24 students, supported by an outstanding staff team led by Rev, Mrs Bromwich, Mr Howard and Mrs Keep, returned to serve in the education centres of Flame Cambodia.

This was another wonderful opportunity to engage with the urban poor of Phnom Penh, the capital city, and to work alongside the dedicated staff of Flame – many of whom are themselves former students of this remarkable charity, founded by Sue Hanna.

The preparation for these trips takes almost a year and requires significant effort, but the rewards are immense. Our students are not only challenged by what they see, hear and experience, but they also have the opportunity to contribute meaningfully through their interactions with the young people of Cambodia. This year, we were delighted to distribute more than 30 repurposed and reconditioned laptops to support education programmes in the Flame IT Hub.

Once again, we witnessed extraordinary transformational growth in our young people.

They returned with deepened connections to Cambodia’s story, history and – most importantly – its people. These encounters always change us for the better and enrich our lives here in New Zealand and beyond.

BOARDERS’ CHARITY RELAY

The year 2025 marked another Charity Relay written into St Paul’s history – and what a special one to remember. It was a chance for us, as a community, whether in the heart of the School or feeding the engine that runs it, to all join together for this awesome event that is all about giving back to families and children in Cambodia who don’t quite have it the same as us.

With Rosie and I being Heads of Boarding this year, this event had branded itself into our calendars as soon as we received the role. To say the least, it is the highlight of the schedule. We both knew it was a large task, but we were prepared to take the challenge on. The amazing thing with boarding is that you are family: the whole whaanau of boarding embraces the challenge every year, growing together as a community, uniting as one to knock our goals out of the park.

We had aimed for $16,000 and it was absolutely smashed out of the park, with us raising almost double, around $30,000. An amazing effort for boarding as a sole collective, with multiple people completing full marathons and the majority of boarding completing half marathons.

This relay was more than just running laps or raising funds – it was about standing together as a boarding whaanau, giving our best for a cause far greater than ourselves. The generosity, determination and spirit shown will be remembered as one of the special moments in the history of this event, which helps St Paul’s boarding stand out from the rest.

RELAY FOR LIFE

St Paul’s Collegiate School was thrilled to once again be part of Relay for Life Hamilton, held at Claudelands Oval on Saturday 29 March 2025. The event brought together schools, businesses and community groups from across the Waikato to support the Cancer Society and the important work they do.

This year, St Paul’s turned out in record numbers, with 115 students and 14 staff making up one of the largest and liveliest teams on the track. From 10:00am to 10:00pm, the baton was carried continuously as students walked, ran and joined in the fun throughout the day. The festive spirit was balanced by meaningful moments, including the moving Survivors’ Lap and the Candlelight Ceremony at night.

The efforts of our team were truly outstanding. Together, we raised an incredible $34,555, making St Paul’s the top fundraising team for the Hamilton Relay. Special congratulations go to Lani Jarrett, who raised an astonishing $7,487 and finished fifth nationwide as an individual fundraiser.

The School’s spirit shone just as brightly as our fundraising.

Voted ‘Biggest Team Spirit’ by fellow participants, our bumblebee colours made every lap a celebration. It was a proud display of teamwork, compassion and commitment to a cause that touches so many lives.

We are grateful to everyone who sponsored and supported our team, and we look forward to carrying this energy into Relay for Life 2026!

TE KAEA PREFECTS’ REFLECTION

As Te Kaea Prefects, when entering the 2025 year, we set a goal to continue the growth of Te Ao Maaori within our School community.

We started the year with our School poowhiri, adding new aspects of haka to create a strong welcome for new staff and students. Just a week later, we ran a Waitangi Day service, which not only gave us a chance to educate staff and students on the history of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, but also allowed us to share our own experiences and explain the effects it had on our ancestors.

Every year, the House Haka competition is a massive highlight – a powerful display of House spirit, cultural pride and unity among students. This year, the competition was no exception, as we saw Clark House emerge victorious, dethroning Hamilton House, who had previously won the last five competitions.

Since the House Haka competition, we have led Chapel services for both Matariki and Te Wiki o te Reo Maaori, where we focused on celebrating Maaori culture by offering perspectives and giving staff and students

a chance to experience many traditional Maaori activities in the Chapel and at lunchtimes.

Having the opportunity to embrace and share our culture was enriching. However, experiencing new and exciting things was also meaningful. This year, we attended Ngaa Manu Koorero, and being immersed in the topics and whakaaro of other rangatahi was inspiring. As well as Ngaa Manu Koorero, students from our School attended Koroneihana, where we celebrated the Queen’s first coronation since being crowned.

Reflecting on our journey as Te Kaea Prefects, we recognise that much of our achievement has been built on the path set by past Te Kaea Prefects, the assistance of senior kaiako and the unwavering

support of our peers. We would especially like to thank Matua Lamoni and Whaea Puhirere for guiding us on our journey as Te Kaea Prefects and offering wisdom and encouragement every step of the way.

In conclusion, serving as Te Kaea Prefects has allowed us to further immerse Te Ao Maaori into the St Paul’s community. Te Ao Maaori at St Paul’s is about unity as much as it is about identity, haka, waiata, poowhiri and other cultural events. We are grateful for the opportunity to build on the kaupapa of Te Ao Maaori at St Paul’s, and we hope that future Te Kaea Prefects will continue to follow the path laid down by those before them.

PRODUCTION

This year, St Paul’s Collegiate School staged The Addams Family, a production that showcased the remarkable creativity, dedication and spirit of our students. Performed at Southwell School’s Centre of Performing Arts, the show was a highlight of the cultural calendar and an experience that left both audiences and performers with lasting memories.

Our student leads wowed audiences with every performance, bringing Gomez (Toby Whytock), Morticia (Annabelle Choy), Wednesday (Rosie Willson and Claire Johnstone) and their eccentric family to life with humour, heart and confidence. Their commitment to their roles not only impressed on stage but also set the tone for the entire company. Many of our students stepped naturally into leadership positions throughout the rehearsal process, supporting one another and creating a strong bond that was evident in the energy of the final performances.

A special highlight was our Headmaster’s Invitation evening, which drew together members of the St Paul’s community to celebrate the talent and hard

work of our students. The evening reflected the strength of support that surrounds the Performing Arts at our School, and we are deeply grateful to our families, staff and friends who contributed their encouragement and enthusiasm throughout the journey.

Productions of this scale are the result of many hands and much expertise. Our thanks go to director Mr Rawson, whose vision and experience guided the cast with clarity and purpose; to Mr Taylor, whose leadership of the band ensured the music was vibrant and precise; to Mr Campbell, whose work with the chorale added richness to the ensemble; and to Kelly Petersen, whose choreography brought dynamism and style to the stage.

We are also indebted to Southwell School for the generous use of their outstanding theatre facilities, which provided the perfect backdrop for our students to thrive.

The Addams Family was more than a show; it was a testament to what collaboration, creativity and community can achieve. Our

students should feel proud of the standard they achieved and the growth they experienced along the way. The production not only entertained but also strengthened the Performing Arts spirit at St Paul’s, leaving us excited for what lies ahead.

VISUAL ARTS

We began the year on a high with five of our 2024 Level 3 Photography students gaining Scholarship. In addition, Jetta Kete’s folio was selected for this year’s prestigious Top Art Exhibition – the fourth consecutive year St Paul’s has been represented in this showcase.

Student work this year has been both ambitious and inspiring. Several put themselves forward for national opportunities, with Shannon Yu and Brianna Diao exhibiting in the National Youth Art Awards at ArtsPost, Hamilton, while Shannon Yu and Daniel Gan were selected for The Arts House Trust Secondary School Awards at the Pah Homestead, Auckland. A special highlight was the group entry into the Toi Wearable Arts show at Claudelands, Hamilton, where Coco Huan, Daniel Gan, Caleb Lin, Fiona Guo, Brianna Diao, Julia Chang, Aislin Tse and Amethyst Cheng showcased their creativity on the performance stage. Mr Cameron also exhibited in a Wellington group show

celebrating 50 years of Massey University’s Fine Arts Photography programme.

Our Year 9 Masterclass students experimented with darkroom photography, cyanotypes, photograms and even pinhole cameras, while also earning their ‘photography licence’ through mastering DSLR settings. Year 9 Core Art students reimagined Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa in quirky, contemporary styles, while Year 10 students created clay mugs inspired by whakapapa and skateboard decks influenced by skate and pop culture.

At senior levels, our Year 11 Diploma students impressed with a mid-year exhibition showcasing painting, printmaking, photography and design. Year 12 and Year 13 students are currently completing their final folios, which once again demonstrate the remarkable calibre, creativity and individuality of our learners.

On behalf of the Visual Arts team – Mr Cameron, Ms Hudson

and Ms Flood – thank you to all our talented and hardworking students. Your creativity continues to inspire us and makes St Paul’s a truly exciting place to teach and learn.

DEBATING

The 2025 season was characterised by a surge in student engagement with argumentative dialogue, leading to an expansion of the programme to accommodate this enthusiasm. We had a bustling year, with our traditional debating success complemented by the pioneering of an Ethics Olympiad team and growing involvement in Mooting and Model UN.

Debating

Our debating squads performed with distinction across the Waikato competitions. In the junior division, the Cosmic Croissants narrowly missed a semi-final spot on cut scores, setting a promising foundation for the coming years. In the senior grades, our Premier and Open teams were competitive against the best public speakers in the greater Hamilton area. A most notable achievement came from the Loquacious Lattes – Toby Bowler, Boh Williams, Annie Stokes and Jonty Falconer – who reached the semi-finals in what was for them only their first and second year of debating.

Many students volunteered to adjudicate junior competitions, showing service and allowing further growth for the region. A significant thank you must be extended to Daniel Zhao, who led from the start, coaching and building up the entire squad. A special congratulations is also due to Libby Zhu, who earned a Best Speaker award for the Open

division at the Waikato end of year Prizegiving.

Ethics Olympiad

This year we pioneered our first Ethics Olympiad team, comprised of Troy Poole, Adi Manda, Ethan Peng, Ananya Bansal and Luke Hawthorn. This new format challenged students to grapple with complex and modern ethical problems, requiring them to articulate a coherent ethical framework in collaboration with another team. The team’s dedication and hard work were

rewarded with qualification for the international competition, where they performed exceptionally well to place 20th in the world.

Model UN

This year, Model UN (MUN) continued to grow from strength to strength. The programme featured two major events: the Auckland MUN, where students independently organised their trip to compete in one of the largest Model UN conferences in the country, and the Waikato MUN, hosted for the first time by the University of Waikato. Across both events, St Paul’s was represented by more than 30 delegates. A special mention goes to Daniel Zhao, who joined the university organising team as a committee chair.

Mooting

We had four students – Daniel Zhao, Aidan Hodgson, Toby Whytock and Troy Poole – compete in the Waikato Mooting Competition, taking on challenging and complex legal topics. Preparation for both moots was extensive, requiring a deep understanding of the law, thorough research and careful structuring of arguments. The students demonstrated sound reasoning, clear thought and confident speaking throughout. While they did not advance to the semi-finals, they achieved excellent results and received strong feedback from the judges, particularly for their persuasive delivery and the quality of their presentations.

LIBRARY

This year has been one of growth, creativity and community spirit in our School library.

Our Student Librarian team has expanded in a big way, growing from 16 committed members to an incredible 43 fabulous volunteers. These students have shown outstanding dedication, helping with everything from crafting displays to preparing materials for competitions – and, of course, the ever popular mini book chocolates. Yes, the tiny book covers were cut out with care and enthusiasm to add a literary twist to a sweet treat.

One of our biggest hits this year was the Uber Reads promotion – a fresh and fun way to introduce our latest books. Students loved the surprise element, and it sparked renewed interest in exploring new genres and authors.

We also brought back a crowd favourite – Music Month, featuring live karaoke sessions in the library. This year’s highlight was the unforgettable staff karaoke

competition, which not only entertained but also showed that our teachers have some serious musical talent!

In March, we launched our schoolwide reading competition, ‘March into Reading.’ The library was transformed into a vibrant pizzeria, setting the scene for some serious page turning. The House that read the most pages earned a well deserved pizza

shout, and the friendly rivalry only added to the excitement.

A massive thank you to our student volunteers and the wider School community for making our library a vibrant, welcoming space for everyone. We can’t wait to see what next year brings!

YEAR 12 LEADERSHIP

In 2025, an exciting initiative empowered Year 12 students to develop and refine their leadership skills through the voluntary Nurturing Leaders Programme. Eighty nine students took up the challenge, participating in a series of workshops designed to build communication, collaboration and self-awareness – helping them recognise both their strengths and opportunities for growth.

Throughout the year, students engaged with a diverse lineup of inspiring guest speakers. From our Board Chair, Andrew Johnson, and All Black legend Stephen Donald, to Collegian Thomas Nabbs and successful business leaders such as Tim Nowell-Usticke, entrepreneur and founder of Wineworks from Hawke’s Bay, each brought unique stories, insights and leadership lessons that resonated with our aspiring leaders.

A major highlight was the challenge of organising and leading the 2025 Wero Taimana – a one off sporting event for

Year 10 students. Working within their House groups, participants designed a programme of varied activities to promote camaraderie ahead of Tihoi. This event not only strengthened connections within the School community but also gave our emerging leaders the chance to apply, test and refine their skills in a real world setting.

The ultimate measure of success will be seen as these students step into Year 13, putting into practice the strategies, readings and ideas they have gained. As the programme continues to grow, it is clear that leadership skills remain an essential foundation for contributing meaningfully to society.

Watch this space – our Nurturing Leaders Programme is set to evolve even further in 2026.

CHAMBER GROUPS

2025 marked the 60th anniversary of the NZCT Chamber Music Contest, and St Paul’s musicians rose to the occasion with energy, talent and creativity.

The St Paul’s Trumpet Quintet – Liam Stiles, Zane Merson, Rina Zhao, Sangjoon Lee and Austin Guo – performed Suite by Purcell, Happiness Is the Truth by Bruce and Wednesday Night Quintet by Greenberg. Thylakoid Stacks , featuring Heidy Chang on violin, Olivia Zhao on violin and Shanaz Chen on piano, gave a stylish rendition of Shostakovich’s Five Pieces . Kalia Seavill joined her group Concordia Trio on violin to perform Mozart’s Concerto in D, Mvt 1

The eight-hand piano ensemble

The Lady Fingers – Heidi Liao, Martina Zhang, Vivian Ho and Shannon Yu – delighted audiences with Rossini’s Overture to William Tell . Year 12 student Julia Chang and her trio Jolly Flutes brought light-hearted flair to Castrede’s Flutes en Vacances

A particular highlight came from Triple Forte – Nurie Choi on violin,

Ryan Koo on cello and Kelly Leung on piano – who performed Arensky’s Piano Trio No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 32 . Their outstanding performance earned them ‘Highly Commended’ and a place in the Northern Region Chamber Music Competition, where they impressed audiences and judges alike. Kelly also won the Waikato regional contest with her group Trovarsi Insieme

Beyond the contest, other chamber groups – including the

String Orchestra, Brass Quintet and Foxy’s Flutes – continued to rehearse and share their music throughout the year, from School concerts such as Good Vibrations to community performances at the Cancer Society Lodge.

Congratulations to all our chamber musicians, and heartfelt thanks to their dedicated coaches for their guidance and support.

CHOIR

What a sensational year it’s been for St Paul’s choirs! Our All Comers Choir has grown to over 60 singers, and with that growth has come heart, spirit and sound that truly soars. Every week was full of energy, laughter and the sheer joy of making music together.

The Big Sing was a standout moment. The choir rocked the stage with a showstopping I’m Still Standing , earning a Highly Commended certificate – a wonderful reward for all the dedication and enthusiasm. Another thrilling highlight was the premiere of The Kraken , a specially commissioned piece that was bold, dramatic and challenging, giving the choir something truly unique to share. And our warm, heartfelt performance for grandparents and families reminded us that singing brings people together across generations in the most joyful way.

The Chamber Chorale had a fantastic year too. This auditioned a cappella group shared music in Chapel services, including our

popular descant of I, the Lord of Sea and Sky , and at the local Cancer Society Lodge as part of our service programme. At The Big Sing, judges praised the balance of our voices on Circle of Life and gave special recognition to our original composition, Whakarongo ki taku inoi , by Fergus Byett. With the amazing support of accompanists Fergus Byett and Carlee Hanna, the Chorale performed regularly for the School, often from memory, impressing audiences with their skill and artistry. The Chorale

also participated in their first professional recording, working with The Porch Studio in Hamilton to record the commissioned works – a new and exciting experience for all!

This year has been about more than music. It’s been about fun, friendship and finding our voices together. Here’s to more music, laughter and incredible performances in the year ahead!

GOOD VIBRATIONS

This year’s Good Vibrations concert opened in powerful style with Kapa Haka. Their programme of waiata tira, waiata-a-ringa, Tooku Reo Tooku Ohooho and haka filled the hall with energy, pride and connection, setting the scene for an evening that celebrated both tradition and musical diversity.

The first half also featured a range of chamber and small ensemble performances. A lively eight-

hand piano version of Gillock’s Champagne Toccata brought both fun and flair, while the Brass Groups entertained with contrasting selections from Sondheim’s Comedy Tonight to the upbeat Happiness Is the Truth The Flute Choir added colour with Saint-Saëns’ dramatic Danse Macabre and a playful take on Shake It Off

Two solo performances stood out as highlights. Julia Chang played with elegance and expression in her flute solo, while Kelly Leung captured Debussy’s shimmering piano colours with great sensitivity. The String Group also impressed with Karl Jenkins’ rhythmic and refined Palladio

After the interval, the choirs took the stage. The Chamber Chorale gave a heartfelt performance of Elton John’s Circle of Life , their voices blending with warmth and power.

The Big Band, directed by Mr Taylor, lifted the atmosphere with a burst of jazz colour. Lullaby of Birdland swung with style, while Arnah Currie’s vocals shone

in How High the Moon . They wrapped up their set with the funk favourite Pick Up the Pieces

The Concert Band followed with sweeping melodies and drama, from How to Train Your Dragon to the thrilling Great Locomotive Chase

Finally, the All Comers Choir closed the evening in joyful style with Elton John’s I’m Still Standing – a fitting finale to a night of variety, talent and true Good Vibrations .

MUSIC CAMPS

This year our annual music camps were once again full of laughter, learning and music making. They gave students the chance to spend time together, rehearse intensively and gain guidance from visiting professional musicians in preparation for the year’s performances.

The year began with Band Camp in January. Students worked with Band Director Mr Taylor, band managers and coaches Mr Cakebread and Mr Harlow, and were joined by Mrs Fox, Collegian Dion Xue and itinerant guitar and bass tutor Mr Shaw. For two and a half days, students played, ate and slept music as they prepared repertoire for the upcoming band festivals. Camp also featured an incredible music quiz run by Mr Cakebread, where the girls’ team proudly claimed the crown! Senior Band Leader Eric Joe (Year 13) reflected, ‘Camp is a valuable time for us to connect, build teamwork and strengthen the sense of community across both bands.’

Choir Camp in May brought together the Chamber Chorale and All Comers Choirs for

two full days of singing in the Music Department. Led by Choir Director Mr Campbell and accompanist Mr Walters, students also benefited from the expertise of Francis Cowen and Sally Rosenberg, who provided specialist language tutoring, and Jane Tankersley. The choirs focused on challenging repertoire, including commissioned works by New Zealand composer Fergus Byett. Of course, Mr Campbell’s legendary game time returned – this year with lively outdoor

team challenges instead of golf! Choir leader Martina Zhang said, ‘Choir Camp is the perfect way to connect the voice to the face, and form a strong bond through games, snacks and performances.’

These camps provided unforgettable opportunities to grow as musicians and to look ahead to an exciting year of performances.

ROCK AND POP

Tuosa Lane – Cameron Evans, Charlie Storey, Sam Taucher and Ethan Peng – made their debut at Smokefree Rockquest with their original song Fine Silver. The band impressed the judges with ‘some good playing and strong arrangement ideas,’ making their very first competition outing a memorable one. What a fantastic start to their journey!

We also celebrated a standout Solo/Duo entry from Charlotte Belz, who delivered a stunning

performance of Hold Me Down Judges praised her ‘incredible strength and beautiful tone,’ along with her natural connection to the audience.

Adding to her achievements, Charlotte also opened for Frankie Venter at The Meteor this year, proving herself a confident, versatile and truly exciting performer to watch.

INTERNATIONAL DEPARTMENT

The International Department has enjoyed a full and rewarding year, welcoming both new students and families into our community at the start of 2025. We were delighted to see our returning students and International Council members support and help them to settle into School life and make the most of the opportunities on offer. Parents also played a vital role, and we extend our thanks to those who partnered with us to ensure such a positive beginning to the year.

Throughout the year, our students have been actively engaged in both School and community life. We began with our annual Race Relations Day celebrations – a highlight that set the tone for a year of cultural sharing and inclusiveness. Other events included Chinese lantern making, our popular Games Night with themed costumes, a variety of group games and karaoke – definitely an evening filled with fun and laughter. Our international students have also thrown themselves into music, art, House competitions and

sport, ensuring their talents and enthusiasm were widely shared across the School.

This year we continued our tradition of hosting a Happy Birthday lunch to celebrate our students. More recently, our Cultural Day, with the theme Pieces of a Puzzle , was a true showcase of diversity and community spirit. The day included inspiring performances and presentations in the Chapel, food stalls generously supported by our international parents through the Parents’ Association and a series of ethnic games. The funds raised went towards the Hamilton Combined Christian Foodbank, allowing our celebrations to give back to the wider community.

In Term 1, we also took time to farewell our long-serving Homestay Coordinator, Mrs Benefield, whose dedication and care over many years have been instrumental in providing safe and supportive homes for our students. We thank Marg for her commitment and service.

It has been a year rich with learning, celebration and connection. We are proud of the way our international students have embraced opportunities and contributed so positively to our School community. We look forward to another year of growth, friendship and shared success in 2026.

AGRIBUSINESS DEPARTMENT

Year 11 Agricultural and Horticultural Science

Our Year 11 Agricultural and Horticultural Science students took their learning outdoors with a visit to the Hamilton Gardens, where they explored various soil types, plant growth and maintenance practices. The trip encouraged reflection on kaitiakitanga (guardianship) and whanaungatanga (relationships), highlighting how these values are woven into agricultural and horticultural practices.

Year 12 Agricultural and Horticultural Science

The Year 12 Agricultural and Horticultural Science students visited LIC, a pig farm and Halter New Zealand, learning about artificial insemination, animal welfare and environmental practices. They also saw how advanced agri-technology is used to enhance modern farming.

Year 12 Agribusiness

This year our Year 12 Agribusiness students enjoyed visiting Kaipaki Berries, gaining valuable insights into the benefits of covered-crop growing. The experience offered

a practical perspective on how innovation is shaping horticulture, including extending the growing season, adapting to soilless growing, mitigating common pest challenges and improving harvesting efficiency through elevated picking tables.

Year 13 Agribusiness

Year 13 Agribusiness students visited a range of primary sector organisations including Manuka Health, Cambridge Stud and Monavale Blueberries. The visits provided valuable insight into how these businesses are developing future-proofing strategies and adapting to industry challenges.

Year 13 Agricultural and Horticultural Science

The Year 13 Agricultural and Horticultural Science students visited a range of kiwifruit organisations including Zespri, a kiwifruit breeding centre and an orchard as part of their field trip. They explored current research projects and learned about the latest developments in kiwifruit. At the orchard, they observed the picking process and gained insight into key management practices.

As part of their assessment, Year 13 Agribusiness students took part in making their own camembert. This helped them to learn about the art of adding value in Agribusiness.

The Year 13 Agribusiness students kicked off the year with the exciting Crocodile Pit competition, putting their skills to the test in a battle of practicality, creativity and innovation. One team stood out, going on to win the prestigious Fieldays Young Innovator of the Year Award for their clever, time-saving tool, KiwiPrune.

CONSTRUCTION

In 2025, the Construction Class continued to gain authentic, hands-on experience through a diverse range of projects across the School campus. Students worked on the renovation of the Copy Room, the refurbishment of the Harington Gym, the construction of a kitchen storage extension and the renovation of the Executive Assistant to the Headmaster’s office. Each of these projects brought its own unique set of challenges, requiring students to think critically, problem-solve under pressure and collaborate effectively to achieve high-quality outcomes. By working on both small-scale and larger projects, students developed a well-rounded skill set that reflects the expectations of the modern construction industry.

Guided by expert carpenter Adrian Wesford, the class struck a balance between workshop-based training and live-site practice. This combination not only refined their technical skills but also gave them valuable insight into the planning, organisation and teamwork required in professional construction settings. The

opportunity to see their work directly enhance School facilities was a source of pride, reinforcing the importance of contributing to a wider community through craftsmanship.

Beyond the physical results of their labour, students built resilience and adaptability, learning to manage setbacks and approach tasks with determination. The experiences of 2025 have highlighted the value of persistence, attention to detail and collective effort – qualities that will serve them well as they move into further training or industry roles.

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY

The 2025 academic year has been a whirlwind of creativity, collaboration, and code - crafting across our Computer Science (CS) and Digital Technology streams. From mastering the Flask micro - framework to designing slick prototypes in Figma and Adobe Animate, our students pushed towards creative solutions in the curriculum.

This year’s CS Diploma added a focused mini-web-app stack: Flask paired with core HTML/CSS. Students began by building singlepage applications, then expanded to multi-route sites that pull data from SQLite databases in Year 12. The hands-on experience gave them a taste of real-world web development while keeping the learning curve manageable.

The Digital Technology stream continued to champion Figma for UI/UX design and Adobe Animate for motion graphics. Students produced end-to-end prototypes – from wireframes to interactive mock-ups – while other projects focused on animated videos that convey complex ideas in a short timeframe.

Senior students also poured their effort into the new (for 2025) Digital Technologies Scholarship Examination, exploring advanced topics like algorithmic efficiency, advanced programming and problem-solving with code.

Pictured are a few standout projects from this year’s cohort, showcasing the blend of technical skill and creative vision.

From Flask - based web apps to animated storytelling, our CS and Digital Innovation streams continue to cultivate the next generation of tech pioneers. We’re proud of every student who turns code into art, problem into opportunity, and imagination into reality.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT

In 2025, the English Department placed a deliberate emphasis on nurturing in our aakonga a critical awareness of the world around them. In an age where knowledge is abundant and where the sheer volume of information can overwhelm, it has never been more vital that our students develop the ability to discern, filter and evaluate ideas. Through the study of literature and writing, we encourage them to engage not simply as passive receivers of knowledge but as thoughtful individuals capable of weighing perspectives, forming reasoned opinions and discarding what is trivial. These skills are the bedrock of both academic success and responsible citizenship.

The year has been one of exploration and growth, as teachers and students alike have worked collaboratively to refine the craft of interpretation, dialogue and expression.

Our changing curriculum demands a balance between the richness of classical texts and the acknowledgement of

contemporary voices, ensuring that students can see themselves reflected in literature while also being invited to step beyond their own lived experience. By embracing both tradition and innovation, the Department has sought to cultivate spaces where independent thought and critical dialogue thrive.

A particular highlight of 2025 was the Koorero/Speech Competitions, where for the first time in recent memory, both the junior and senior titles were won by brothers: Anurag Manda in the Junior section and Adi Manda in the Senior section. Their poised and articulate performances embodied the very essence of what we seek to develop in our aakonga: clarity of thought, confidence in delivery, and an ability to challenge their audience with insight and conviction.

As the year closes, the department remains proud of the way our students have risen to the intellectual challenges placed before them. They continue to demonstrate not only academic

growth but also a developing wisdom and discernment that will serve them well beyond the classroom. In fostering these qualities, we affirm our commitment to shaping graduates who are both critically literate and deeply reflective members of society.

SENIOR SPEECH WINNER

Adi Manda

Raise your hand if you’ve ever scrolled through social media and seen someone on a perfect holiday, or a millionaire flaunting their immense wealth, or a gym nut with the perfect physique and thought, “why can’t my life be like that?” A lot of you? That, right there, is comparison. It sneaks into our minds quietly, yet it shapes the way we see ourselves every single day. It forms this insatiable desire to be like the next person that can either bring us up to succeed, or chip away at our spirit until we crumble. It’s a double-edged sword, one that every one of us is guilty of being at the ends of in our lives.

I’m no stranger to this, and my drive to succeed is often, unfortunately, driven by comparison or hampered by comparison. And, I think that with all the anticipation about prefects and benchmarks, this concept has been at the forefront of my mind, and once I realised it was there, I pondered, am I being affected by this in a positive or negative way? So why do we compare ourselves? Can it be used as a tool? And ultimately, when we notice it in ourselves, what should we do?

The boring truth is that comparison is an integral aspect of human nature. The Social Comparison Theory, introduced by Leon Festinger in the 1950s, explains that people evaluate themselves by comparing themselves to others because it gives them a sense of identity. It’s a natural mental toolit helps us to understand who we are and where we stand.

Now, this has both positive and negative effects. On the positive side, comparison can act as motivation. If you see someone achieving more than you, you might feel inspired to work harder. Psychologists call this upward comparison, and it helps us set higher standards, push our limits, and imagine new possibilities. But the danger comes when it crosses a line. If someone sees a person doing better and, instead of feeling motivated, begins to feel jealous, insecure, or inferior, then it becomes toxic. Unfortunately, we often have this negative view of comparison, rather than the positive.

Is that it then? Is the human race destined to always compare ourselves, to be caught in an endless cat-and-mouse race until we ultimately, die? I don’t think so, and some of my personal experiences recently have taught me to view this concept in a different light. As I’m sure many of the seniors will agree, benchmark results are often a mixed bag, and that was no different for me this year. For every lower-than-expected result, I found myself constantly comparing myself to others, and in doing so, I was constantly beating myself up.

This impacted my morale. But then I realised that failure, no matter how large or small, always strives to teach us a lesson that we can build up on. By comparing ourselves negatively to others, we block the message that failure teaches, which limits our personal growth. In my case, not doing the best I could on MOCs, teaches me what I need to improve on for my final exams, and this positive mindset can aid in striving to do better.

I recognise, though, that it is impossible to only be impacted by comparison positively, so I want to finish up by introducing another form. As I was thinking about what I could have done differently in the exams, I thought back to my revision, my learning, and I thought back to the person I was at the beginning of the year. And it hit me: I have changed so much, learnt so much, had so many successes - all of which would have been beyond Adi-from-8-month-ago’s wildest dreams! Instead of comparing myself to others, comparing myself now to myself from the start of the year showed how much I had grown. We, as human beings, have so much potential and the scope for infinite possibilities, so I implore all of you to reconsider how we view comparison. Instead of limiting ourselves to this interpersonal view, let's all grow, together, by looking back at our past selves, our successes, and building from there.

Ultimately, progress is not about being better than others — it’s about being better than who we used to be. If yesterday you struggled with patience, but today you showed tolerance, that’s growth. If last year you feared public speaking, but today you’re standing here giving a speech, that’s progress. These are the comparisons that truly matter, and these are the comparisons that we must act on in our lives.

JUNIOR SPEECH WINNER

Anurag Manda

A child cries himself to sleep every night because of someone’s actions. This is the 21st century. A girl deletes her posts, her photos, and loses her confidence because of one comment. This is the 21st century. A boy eats lunch, again, no one looks, no one cares. This is the 21st century. We have AI. We have space travel. We have billion-dollar technology in the palms of our hands. But we still have no cure for cruelty. No safeguard from the harm of words. No peace in the mind of every teenager. This is the 21st century, and bullying is still hurting us.

This year at Tihoi, I was bullied. It wasn’t subtle like whispers behind my back. It was direct. I was punched. I was called racist slurs by people I knew. Some saw. Some looked away. And in those moments, I felt small. I stood there, not because I was strong, but because I didn’t know what to do. How do you respond when someone tells you you do not belong? You don’t cry, not there. You keep your face steady. You pretend you’re fine. And then, later, when it is dark and quiet, it hits. The sting in your body. The ache in your mind. And you start to ask yourself questions you should never have to ask: What did I do? What makes me different? Why didn’t anyone speak up?”

And the worst part is that, slowly, their words begin to slip into your own thoughts. You start to believe them. You start to think, “Maybe they’re right. Maybe I don’t belong.” That’s what bullying does: it doesn’t just bruise the skin; it erodes who you are. But here’s what I learnt, and I learnt it the hard way: bullying thrives in silence.

In New Zealand, over 40% of students were bullied in the past year. Nine percent once a week. Six percent every single day. We talk about bullies. We talk about victims. But what about the bystanders, the people who see, hear, and know, but choose to do nothing? I know what that silence feels like. Maybe you do too. You witness something wrong, your gut tells you to step in… but your feet don’t move. You tell yourself it’s not your business. That it could make you the next target. And so you say nothing. But silence is never neutral. Silence is a choice. And too often, it’s a choice that gives more power to the bully and leaves the victim standing alone. So how do we stop it?

For me, it started with breaking that silence. I told a teacher. I told my friends. I told my family. And once I spoke, the walls that had been closing in began to open. I realised that telling someone isn’t a weakness, it’s the first act of strength. My teacher listened. My friends stood with me.

My family backed me. The problem didn’t vanish overnight, but step by step, it was addressed. And I no longer felt alone. That is how bullying ends. Not with one person acting alone, but with a chain of people who decide that their courage matters more than their comfort. And yes, sometimes the bully is hurting too. That doesn’t excuse their actions. But it does remind us that standing up isn’t about revenge. It’s about breaking the cycle for everyone.

So here’s what I’m asking of you: the next time you see it, the shove in the hallway, the cruel comment online, the lonely lunch table, don’t stay quiet. Walk over. Stand beside. Say, “That’s not okay.” Tell someone who can help. Refuse to let another person believe they’re worthless because of what someone else said or did. Because here’s the truth: the child crying himself to sleep, the girl deleting her photos, the boy eating alone, they are not just stories. They are real. And I know this, because I was one of them. Bullying doesn’t just stop when the bully stops. It stops when the rest of us decide it will stop. It stops when silence becomes action. It stops when comfort gives way to courage. It stops when we refuse to be bystanders. Because in a century of AI, of rockets to Mars, of billion-dollar technology, there is still no greater achievement than choosing to be human.

CREATIVE WRITING

The weight of my skin

I'm too brown for the white kids. Too white for the brown kids. I'm stuck in between, and no one wants to meet me there.

Stuck in between, and it's slowly tearing me apart.

Am I exotic? Or exactly the same?

Like a puzzle piece being forced into the wrong frame, wrong game?

Edges bent, corners chipped, but yet, I still don't fit.

They tell me to pick a side, As if identity is a box I can tick. Not like I haven't spent my WHOLE life trying to colour inside the lines, Of someone else's expectations. So, where do I belong if I'm too much of one? And not enough of the other?

Too loud in rooms where I should be silent, Too quiet in spaces where I should be heard. I laugh too hard. Speak too soft. I shrink myself to make them comfortable but yet, I'm the one left aching.

They tell me.

“You're not that brown though”

As if my skin is something they can edit, A filter on their screen.

“You're basically white, though”

Like it's supposed to be a compliment. Like erasing some of me is doing me a favour. I learned to hold my tongue, Swallow my truth, Chew on the silence until it tasted like nothing Like paper dissolving on my tongue, flavourless, and empty, Just to make it easier for them to breathe.

It's suffocating, And I am so tired.

Tired of apologising for who I am, Who will I never be?

Tired of the endless questions, The endless doubts, The endless, “Why don't you fit in?”

I’m tired of trying to be what they wanted, When I don't even know who I am anymore.

They want me to pick a side

But there's nothing to choose, Because neither side feels like home. And I can't belong to a place that won't accept me, For who I am, Who I've always been.

But no matter what side I stand on, I plant my feet firm, refusing to disappear, I always feel like I'm standing alone.

I'll always be the girl in the middle, Torn between two worlds that never see me, Never know the weight of my skin, The weight of my soul.

Pieces of me will always be scattered, Not able to fit together.

I'll always be the question mark In their sentence of belonging, The one who will never be enough.

And maybe that's just who I am. Too much of one, Never enough of the other. Forever stuck in between. Forever lost in the spaces no one wants to meet me in.

But I am still here. And that, They can never take.

- Naiema Vea (Year 13)

MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT

We have had another successful year in the Mathematics Faculty.

On Wednesday 7 May, we partook in a special edition of the Otago Junior Maths Competition, marking the 40th anniversary of the highly successful competition. This was a throwback to the original challenge: a single, paperbased round. Forty six students from Years 9-11 sat the paper, faced with six questions in their 50 minutes. We are still awaiting results at the time of writing.

The Australian Maths Competition took place on Wednesday 6 May, with 64 students signed up. This time, the competition was open to all students from Years 9-13. The following students were awarded Distinction, which placed them in the top 15% nationwide:

• Year 9: Nobelium Chen, Freddie Fulforth, Austin Guo, Sheldon Lu, Joshen Yao

• Year 10: Raymond Li

• Year 11: Tianyi (Tony) Lu, Troy Poole

• Year 12: Aditya Manda

• Year 13: Jasper Ludbrook, James Su

The annual Waimaths Competition was held at Hamilton Boys’ High School on Thursday 21 August. Teams of three students worked collegially to answer 20 challenging questions in 45 minutes. There were approximately 15 Waikato schools entered in this competition.

• Year 9 (sixth place): Joshen Yao, Ethan Tan, Sheldon Lu, Griffin Liu (reserve)

• Year 10 (tenth place): Raymond Li, Ethan Hu, Jabez Packer, Noah Xu (reserve)

• Year 11 (sixth place): Tony Lu, Leo Huang, Troy Poole, Mark Liao (reserve)

Special thanks to Dr Paul Carter, Mrs Carolyn Gibbs and Mr Guy Johnstone who accompanied the teams on the night.

SCIENCE DEPARTMENT

The Science Faculty has enjoyed a year of innovation, discovery and recognition, with students engaging in a wide range of competitions and opportunities that have showcased both their talent and curiosity. From national Olympiads to local challenges, students have continued to push boundaries and achieve success across the sciences.

Student Achievements:

• Annie Stokes gained Scholarship Biology as Year 12

• Nobelium Chen attended Round 2 of the NZPMC, a physics and maths competition held in Auckland

• Ella Snyman attended the School to Skies Programme, where 36 girls were selected to learn about engineering, principles of flight and leadership

University of Otago Science Quiz commendations went to Nadia Peng (Year 11); Max Armstrong, Stirling Grant and Adi Manda (Year 12); and Annie Stokes, Liam

Stiles, Oscar Walsdorf and Jasper Ludbrook (Year 13). Earning this recognition places them in the top 20% of an already exceptional group of students who took part in the quiz.

EPro8 challenges this year included radio communication systems, laser security systems, bomb disposal vehicles and abseiling harnesses. The junior team Despicable Me (Ethan Tan, Joshen Yao, Andrew Wang and Tom Stewart) came first in heats, first in semi-finals and 11th overall out of 100 teams. The senior team The Doorknobs (Liam Stiles, Roy Zhu, Oscar Walsdorf and Jasper Ludbrook) came first in heats, third in semi-finals and fifth overall.

The following students won Waikato Science Fair prizes, which showcased their creativity and curiosity through science:

• Julia Chang was awarded equal third place for her drawing Nymphicus hollandicus, inspired by her pet cockatiel.

• Mark Liao was awarded first place in the Senior (Years 9–13) Scientific Wallchart category. His entry, An Unlikely Duo: The Spotted Salamander and its Relationship with Algae, responded to the theme of Change and Adaptation.

• Thomas Luxton and Ryan Shi were awarded first place for their video entitled Our Planet, Our Future, based on the theme “Our Power, Our Planet.”

Two groups of senior students partook in the New Zealand Science and Engineering Challenge this year and are awaiting results. The Year 13 students were Liam Stiles, Roy Zhu, Oscar Walsdorf and Jasper Ludbrook, while the Year 12 students were Sangjoon Lee, Jun Han, Ethan Peng and Adi Manda.

SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT

The Social Sciences Faculty has enjoyed another rewarding year of learning and achievement. We welcomed two new staff members, Ms Rachael Stephens and Mr Jason Borich, who brought fresh expertise to Social Studies, Geography and Commerce. At the end of Term 2 we farewelled Mrs Sarah Cantlon, who has taken up a position with the Ministry of Education. Although it was difficult to see her leave, we are delighted that she continues to contribute to Social Sciences on a national scale.

One of the highlights of the year was the annual Market Day, where senior Business Studies students collaborated across nine weeks to research, design and deliver business plans. Students then tested their ideas by taking their products and services to market within the St Paul’s community, before evaluating the success of their ventures. These projects demanded creativity, teamwork and resilience, and provided an authentic taste of the challenges faced in today’s business environment. Junior students in Enterprise Studies

also had the opportunity to showcase their skills through lively Market Nights. These events allowed students to launch products, promote campaigns and engage directly with parents and the wider school community, reinforcing the real-world nature of their learning.

In Economics, scholarship students attended the New Zealand Economics Forum at the University of Waikato in February, gaining valuable insights from leading speakers about the state of the New Zealand economy. The New Zealand Economics Competition also brought strong results for our students. Shaunki Punjabi placed 16th nationally, while Roy Zhu and Ella Snyman achieved high distinction. Several other students, including George MacDonald, Ashwin Bhorkar, Thomas Luxton, Liam Walters, Ethan Peng and Troy Poole, were awarded distinction in their divisions, reflecting the depth of talent within the faculty.

Geography and History again highlighted the value of learning beyond the classroom. Year

11–13 Geography students carried out fieldwork in a range of locations, from investigating the Auckland Volcanic Field and Waihi’s Martha Mine to exploring tourism’s environmental impacts in Raglan and Rotorua. Year 13 History students deepened their understanding of the New Zealand Wars through visits to sites including Rangiriri, Rangiaowhia and Ooraakau, while Year 11 historians travelled to the Auckland Museum to strengthen their research skills and understanding of the First World War.

In 2025, Social Sciences at St Paul’s continued to provide students with opportunities to connect classroom study to real-world contexts. Through authentic projects, fieldwork and competition success, students developed the knowledge and confidence to engage thoughtfully with the issues shaping society today.

TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT

The Technology Department has continued to flourish in 2025, with students further developing their practical and creative abilities across all subject areas. In both Furniture Making and Engineering, students have worked on a balance of predesigned outcomes and bespoke projects. This approach has not only strengthened their core skills but also allowed them to explore their creativity and produce work that reflects their individual interests and ambitions. The ability to problem solve, adapt, and take pride in high quality craftsmanship has once again been a hallmark of their success.

This year, we were delighted to welcome Mr David Mann to the Technology Department. His expertise and enthusiasm has already had a positive impact on the learning environment, and students have benefited from his guidance as they navigate both the practical and theoretical demands of their courses.

In Design and Visual Communication, students

have been encouraged to think critically and creatively, facilitating innovation through a range of design projects. These projects provided opportunities for learners to apply design principles in new and exciting ways, producing outcomes that combine technical skill with imaginative vision.

The accompanying photos showcase the impressive standard of student work produced in 2025, highlighting the creativity, dedication, and enjoyment evident in the Technology classrooms and workshops.

ATHLETICS

Twenty two students proudly represented St Paul’s at the Waikato Champs, held locally at Porritt Stadium. Each athlete showed outstanding dedication and delivered performances that showcased their skills. Standout efforts came from Chris Burr, Liam Hodgson, Ruie Morice, Tamsyn Watson and Andrew Wang, who all qualified for the North Island Secondary Champs.

At the North Island Secondary School event, also held at Porritt Stadium, 11 St Paul’s athletes competed as part of the Waikato Bay of Plenty team. Across the weekend, athletes faced challenging conditions, with Saturday bringing four seasons in one day—strong winds, rain, and even heat—before Sunday provided calmer weather for competition. Top performances included Jay Benefield, who placed second in the Senior Boys Long Jump, and Chris Burr, who claimed third in the Intermediate Boys 300m Hurdles.

BASKETBALL

The Senior Premier Boys enjoyed a landmark season, beginning with promotion to the top Mel Young Invitational League, Division 1, just below the premier grade. A demanding training schedule, skills sessions at HOOP33, strength and conditioning testing, and high level games, including at Pukekohe High School on the Franklin Bulls’ NBL court, prepared the boys for the season ahead.

They also competed in the Mel Young Invitational, reaching the final and narrowly missing out on promotion to the top league. Throughout the year, guest coaches with World Championship and Division 1 experience supported the squad, helping to develop skills and strategy while emphasising team culture, togetherness and chemistry. Dominant performances in school exchanges and camps highlighted their cohesion and growth.

At the Zone 2 Secondary Schools Regionals, St Paul’s faced a challenging pool, dropping early

games but bouncing back with wins over Te Awamutu and Papamoa. After a preliminary quarterfinal loss to St John’s, the boys fought through playoffs, culminating in a dramatic ninth/ tenth victory over Otumoetai College. Bohan’s final-second three-pointer sealed the win, giving the team a tenth place finish – the best result since 2013. Led by Year 13s Jared and Aidan, with a squad mostly in Years 11 and 12, the team’s growth and determination signalled a bright future.

The boys also competed in the Zone 2, 3x3 Regionals, entering the Boys’ Open Grade as the youngest team. Early losses were followed by 11 straight wins to reach the final, where they narrowly fell 18–22 to Mount Maunganui. Bohan scored 17 points in the final, and the team earned medals and a trophy, demonstrating resilience and 3x3 potential for St Paul’s.

The Senior Second Team made their Premier Reserve League

debut, competing against A and Premier teams. Guided by Coaches Angus and Carl, they contributed three players to the Senior Premier squad and gained valuable high level experience.

A young Senior Third Team in the Open Senior Competition secured several wins and showed steady growth under Coach Valentino and Manager Mr Simoncilli.

With record interest in basketball, the P-League offered students across all codes and year levels a fun, structured competition. The league fostered enjoyment, skill development and friendly rivalry, quickly becoming a highlight of the programme.

2025 was a season of achievement, growth, and team culture, laying strong foundations for the future of St Paul’s basketball.

- Mr Fisher

The team commenced the season with a series of strong performances, and it was fantastic to see them included in the Friday night league for the first time. They demonstrated high levels of energy, teamwork and commitment in the early rounds, and had good wins over Waikato Diocesan, Hauraki Plains, and Hillcrest High, but struggled against Sacred Heart. The team’s cohesive spirit was a particular highlight, as players effectively communicated on the court and supported one another. This initial period of success created positive momentum and set high expectations for the remainder of the season.

However, the team quickly lost Neve Smith for the season due to injury, and Lachyn Moeke had a clash of commitments – both of which were big losses. Naiema Vae performed strongly offensively and led from the front, helping to swing momentum through her skill set, while Antonia Cuthers brought energy and valuable points to the table all year. Chloe Fisher was a strong presence from the three-point line, while Mia Ofsoske and Loveen Bains were tireless workers, as was EmilyLee Rota, whose positive attitude throughout the season was appreciated. Marlo Anderson chased everything defensively and had some good games offensively. Saffron Coley was strong in the paint, often cleaning up both offensive and defensive boards, and her passing ability frequently set up teammates.

Regrettably, the positive trajectory did not continue. As the season wore on, a marked decline in performance became apparent. During matches, there was a visible drop in hustle and intensity, and players were less inclined to exert full effort at both ends of the court.

Unfortunately, the last few matches of the season were defaulted. The old adage remains true: it is not how you start but how you finish, which is food for thought for some.

BADMINTON

Always a popular option, badminton sessions throughout the year were a hive of activity. This year, five teams were entered into the Waikato Badminton Secondary Schools Competition –the most we have ever entered. My thanks go to Mrs Keep and Mr Thomson for assisting me in making sure that practices and matches, both home and away, ran smoothly.

Boys’ Teams

Division 1 Black: Jesse Chen (captain), Nemo Chaidissakornkul, Leo Gu, Ethan Peng, Mark Sripinyo and Zander Wu. This team came second in this top division.

Division 1 White: Aaron Li (captain), William Aitken, Max Armstrong, Kaeden Govender, Stanley Lin, Luke Wen and Taichi Yasuoka (placed fourth).

Division 2 Red: Arya Harish (captain), Tom Armstrong, Nobel Chen, Brandon Lin, Sheldon Lu and Leon Smith. Unfortunately, this Year 9 team was frequently

let down by the opposition, who failed to turn up for match-play. Our boys are to be commended for always being ready and available.

Girls’ Teams

Division 1 White: Ash Tse (captain), Julia Chang, Shanaz Chen, Fiona Guo and Sofia Waterman.

Division 1 Gold: Martina Zhang (captain), Chelsy Chai, Miya

Hsieh, Kelly Leung, Ellie Qiu and Rina Zhao. This team came third this year.

My thanks also go to all the students who took part in badminton this year. Everybody chipped in with setting up and dismantling the courts. With up to 75 students participating in badminton, it is certainly a growing sport. We look forward to another promising year in 2026!

BOWLS

Bowls became the fastest growing sport over any other summer sport in 2025. Mrs Landon and Mrs Bradford put on a tournament every week creating a more competitive atmosphere. Mixed teams changing every week meant we played with and against each other. We quickly became one big team, not just a consistent pair.

We played on Artificial green throughout the season at the Claudelands Bowling Club. The weather always put on a good show for us, never having to be rained off. We would like to say a big thank you to the members of the Claudelands Bowling Club for allowing us to use their facilities and also their bowls.

Towards the end of the season we came closer to the big final of who was going to be the St Paul’s 2025 bowls champions. Miller Gower and Jas O’Connor versus Cam Lalich and Imri Seavill, it was a tight game which led to Miller and Jas coming out as the 2025 bowls champions. The season was an enjoyment for all where

we learned skills, etiquette and tactics to get closest to the kitty.

Lastly we want to say a massive thank you to Mrs Landon and Mrs Bradford for the amount of work and effort they put in throughout

the season. From driving us to the bowling club to organising a well thought out tournament each week.

CRICKET BOYS’ FIRST XI

The 2025 season has been another outstanding one for the St Paul’s Collegiate School First XI, highlighted by the team’s qualification for the New Zealand Secondary Schools Boys’ First XI Cup (formerly the Gillette Cup). The Cup is New Zealand’s premier schoolboy cricket tournament, showcasing the best six teams from across the country. This year’s edition will be staged at the NZC High Performance Centre, Lincoln University, from 17–22 December, and the St Paul’s squad will head south determined to make their mark.

Qualification was earned in March when the First XI contested the Northern Districts competition. The team displayed skill and

composure throughout pool play, recording strong victories over Pukekohe High School, St Peter’s School Cambridge, and Mount Maunganui College to book their place in the final against Tauranga Boys’ College.

The final proved to be a memorable occasion, with several standout individual performances. Batting first, St Paul’s posted a competitive total of 229 all out from their 50 overs. The innings was anchored by Josh Hart, who produced a superb century, scoring 101 in a controlled display of patience and power. His knock set the tone for the side and provided the platform needed to push for victory. With the ball, Campbell Soanes led from the front, dismantling the Tauranga batting order with figures of five for 32. Backed by tight fielding and disciplined bowling from the rest of the attack, St Paul’s dismissed Tauranga for 132, sealing the Northern Districts title in emphatic fashion. The final standings placed St Paul’s in first, Tauranga Boys’ College second, St

Peter’s School Cambridge third, and Hamilton Boys’ High School fourth. The result continues a proud tradition of cricketing excellence at St Paul’s and demonstrates the squad’s ability to perform under pressure.

Having finished fourth at the national tournament in 2024, the team now has both the experience and the motivation to push further in 2025. With a strong mix of senior leadership and emerging talent, the First XI will travel to Christchurch (after the printing of this book) determined to challenge for top honours and to represent the school with pride on the national stage.

CRICKET GIRLS’ FIRST XI

The year 2025 proved to be a very special and exciting one for girls’ cricket at St Paul’s Collegiate School.

The season began with 20 girls turning up at trials, and it was obvious from the outset that there were some very talented young female players joining the team. The excitement and energy on display during training sessions resembled a dance party, with music pumping throughout.

The girls carried this energy into local T20 games, where they performed well under the captaincy of Georgia Scott. Georgia qualified for her First XI cap for the number of games she had played since joining the team in Year 11 and for her service to girls’ cricket at the school. There were strong wins against Cambridge, Hillcrest, Hamilton Girls’ High School, and Waikato Diocesan. For the first time at St Paul’s, the team had the chance to qualify for the Northern Districts regional tournament. With a win over Waikato Diocesan and a loss

to St Peter’s School Cambridge, it all came down to a decider against Cambridge, where the girls stepped up with a convincing win to qualify for the tournament in Tauranga.

The squad were privileged to be hosted at Georgia Scott’s family home in Tauranga, which provided a beautiful base for the tournament.

In game one, the team faced Tauranga Girls’ College. At one stage, they had Tauranga at 33 for 5, but the lower order pushed the score beyond 100. The chase began well but the batting was too slow to reach the target. In the next match, the team secured a huge win against Gisborne Girls’ High School, with Stella Hoskin and Grace Buckley both making fifties. The following day brought a disappointing loss to Waikato Diocesan, despite St Paul’s having beaten them during the regular season. Lucy Hadley batted well, finishing on 50 not out. The final game was against St Peter’s, and although the team bowled

strongly, with Poppy McKay shining, they were unable to chase down the runs after Stella Hoskin was injured.

At the cricket prizegiving, Stella Hoskin, Lucy Hadley and Poppy McKay were awarded First XI caps for their excellent performances during the season.

Looking ahead, the team are focused on the 2026 season with the goal of winning the regional tournament and qualifying for nationals.

CRICKET DEVELOPMENT XI

The 2024/25 season was a significant step forward for the St Paul’s Collegiate School Development XI as they moved into senior club cricket, competing in the Waikato Valley Senior A competition across both two-day and 50-over formats. The team also tested their skills in the Waikato Valley Premier Grade T20 competition, providing a fresh challenge and an excellent opportunity to experience the demands of higher-quality cricket.

While the jump in standard was considerable, the Development XI embraced the challenge and made valuable progress throughout the season. Each player gained important learning experiences by competing against seasoned opposition, and there were many notable performances. A highlight came in a two-day fixture against Morrinsville, where Ben Foster produced a remarkable 12-wicket haul, showcasing both skill and resilience.

The team also enjoyed a special fixture against Whanganui Collegiate in an exchange that gave players the chance to test themselves against a strong traditional rival, both on the field and as part of the wider cultural exchange.

Overall, the 2024/25 season was one of growth and development. The boys took important strides forward in their cricketing journeys, learning what is required to compete at a higher level while continuing to build a strong team culture. With these experiences

under their belt, the squad is well placed to progress further in the seasons ahead. The team extends thanks to the parents of the Development XI, who have been consistent supporters throughout the season.

JUNIOR CRICKET AND COLTS

The 2025 season was an excellent one for Colts cricket at St Paul’s Collegiate School, showcasing the depth and strength of the Year 9 and 10 programme.

In the Waikato Secondary Schools Colts grade, St Paul’s entered two sides in Division 1. Both teams performed superbly, with the Colts XI finishing first and the Colts Gold XI second, separated only on net run rate. This remarkable result underlined the talent within the school’s younger cricketers. Notably, Matai Lake was the competition’s leading run scorer across all schools, while off-spinner Joe Teat finished as the top wicket-taker.

In March, standout players from both teams were selected to represent St Paul’s in the inaugural Colts Invitational Tournament against Auckland Grammar, Tauranga Boys’ College, Christchurch Boys’ High School, Palmerston North Boys’ High School, and New Plymouth Boys’ High School. This event, alongside the Vettori Shield hosted at St

Paul’s in December, gave the school’s top juniors valuable opportunities to compete against some of the country’s strongest cricket schools.

At Under 15 level, St Paul’s competed in the prestigious Seddon Cup. After winning all pool matches, the side defeated Francis Douglas Memorial College in the quarterfinal and Whanganui Collegiate in the semi-final to reach the final against defending champions Hamilton Boys’ High School. Playing at home thanks to their No. 1 seeding, St Paul’s bowled Hamilton Boys' High School out for 142, with Logan Hickey taking four for 23. Captain McKay Murray (73) and Josh Hart (48 not out) guided the chase, sealing a seven-wicket win and the school’s first-ever Seddon Cup.

It was a season to remember and a glimpse of a bright future for St Paul’s cricket.

CROSS COUNTRY

The Waikato Cross Country Championships were held on 7 August at Waipuna Park, Tauranga, where a team of 15 St Paul’s athletes rose to the challenge of a demanding course against some of the best runners in New Zealand.

Quinn Hadley once again impressed with a remarkable barefoot performance against top Tauranga athletes, while Tasman Reid produced an outstanding run in a highly competitive field that even featured one of the world’s fastest runners. Both boys placed eighth in their respective age groups, a commendable achievement.

St Paul’s also fielded three teams in the teams’ races. The Junior Boys—Kye Gault, Quinn Hadley, and Blake Watts—earned third place, while the Senior Boys team of Jay Benefield, Tasman Reid, and Ted Kingsford also claimed an excellent third place finish.

These results reflect the determination and talent of the

athletes and made for another successful year in cross country.

CYCLING

The year 2025 has been one of growth and consolidation. Most riders were new to road cycling and to riding in groups, which meant a focus on reinforcing the essentials of bike handling, improving safety and building confidence while sharing the road with others. Training centred on city routes and the outdoor velodrome in Hillcrest, where riders not only gained practical experience with traffic and group dynamics but also challenged themselves with speed work. The balance between road sessions and velodrome training supported steady progress, and participants are now cycling with greater confidence and independence. This foundation has prepared many for more advanced rides, ensuring that 2025 was marked by development and readiness for future challenges.

In July, Harlow Adams and Angus Thomas competed in the North Island Schools Cyclocross Championships in Hamilton. They raced for 40–50 minutes around an off-road course featuring hills,

mud and obstacles. Riders could use either mountain bikes or specialised cyclocross bikes and had to contend with deteriorating conditions as the terrain was churned up.

Harlow won gold in the Under 16 Girls’ category, finishing 2 minutes 24 seconds ahead of second place. Harlow and Angus also raced in the relay, where teams of two or three riders competed on a shorter course. Averaging 2 minutes 45 per lap and dismounting to change riders each lap, they secured gold in the Mixed Under 20 relay.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH

The year started on January 9 with a group of students completing their Gold Practice on a two-day tramp in Pirongia Forest Park. The elevation gain on the first day proved particularly demanding in the warm weather. This was followed by a four-day Gold Qualifying Tramp in the Tongariro National Park where the students could enjoy the spectacular vistas of this volcanic region.

This year has seen a big increase in Year 11 girls enrolling in Duke of

Edinburgh as well as many of the boys continuing with Silver after their return from Tihoi.

Three groups have successfully completed their Silver Practice tramps on the steep, technical and muddy tracks in the Pirongia Forest Park. These groups have then gone on to complete their Qualifying tramps in the Northern Kaimais which included the challenges of carrying heavy packs, camping and rivercrossings. One of the highlights was the wonderful campside fire built one evening by one of the groups.

Two groups have completed their Gold Practice tramps in the Waiorongomai area in the Kaimais. These students had to step-up to complete longer walking distances and at the same time had the opportunity to learn about the history of the area.

Well done to all students participating in Duke of Edinburgh for their mahi across all aspects of the Award.

A big thank you to the teachers who have assisted with the supervision of these tramps: Mrs Keep, Mrs Lilley, Ms Botha and Mrs Pollock.

EQUESTRIAN

St Paul’s inaugural year in equestrian saw riders attend six interschool events, with top placings in three of the toughest competitions in the North Island.

At the Pegasus Cup, a prestigious show jumping event, hosting 50 schools, held at Takapoto Estate in March, the team of Matt and Cam Taylor, Annabella Were and Lily Sutton placed strongly across two days of challenging courses and in less than ideal conditions. They secured second overall, just eight points behind the winners.

In May, at the North Island Secondary Schools Cross Country Championships in Taupoo, Annabella Were, Lily Sutton, Pippa Earwaker and Grace Buckley competed against 34 other teams in dressage, show jumping and cross country, finishing second.

At the North Island Secondary Schools Championships, also in Taupoo, Annabella, Pippa, and Grace each contested multiple dressage tests, show jumping rounds, and the arena event.

Pippa placed second in dressage, Grace won the three day event and placed in show jumping, while Annabella placed in five of six events, finished second in her three day division, won her show hunter division and claimed the Supreme Award.

St Paul’s riders have more than held their own against schools

with dedicated equestrian academies. It has been an outstanding year, made possible by the support of parents who transported horses and riders and worked as chief grooms.

BOYS’ FIRST XI FOOTBALL

The 2025 season for the First XI Boys’ Football team was a fantastic opportunity for a rebuild after losing 11 Year 13s in 2024. Expectations were modest, but the squad quickly showed resilience and potential.

The season began in Term 2 with the College Day Cup against defending champions Hamilton Boys’ High School. After conceding early, goals by Head Boy Roy Zhu and Ashton De Roo secured a comeback win – St Paul’s first against Boys’ High since 2023. The team went on to remain unbeaten in the competition and lifted the trophy for only the third time in the school’s history.

Confidence carried into the league, where the boys opened with strong wins against Rototuna and Hillcrest and wrapped up the season with a third place finish, behind Hamilton Boys and St Peter’s. The young and exciting squad recorded five wins, two losses and a draw – a result that exceeded expectations.

In the nationals qualification, St Paul’s defeated Mount Maunganui, Hillcrest and Rotorua Boys’ High to earn a place at Premier Nationals in Palmerston North. Facing a tough pool, the boys lost their opener to Howick College before edging Wellington College 3-2 in a thriller and drawing 1-1 with Otago Boys. This secured a top 16 spot in New Zealand. The squad finished 16th overall after

close contests with some of the country’s strongest sides.

The 2025 campaign allowed a new generation of players to showcase their abilities and gain valuable experience. With this foundation, the team are well placed to build towards further success in 2026.

GIRLS’ FIRST XI FOOTBALL

The 2025 season was full of highs and lows, and the girls showed real determination and perseverance throughout. Competing in Division 1 was a challenge, but the squad continued to put their best foot forward and made significant progress. A major highlight was qualifying for the Premier Winter Tournament for the first time in St Paul’s history.

This year’s Most Valuable Player, recognised for her crucial role in the team’s success, was Amy Sexton. The Most Improved Player award went to Boh Williams, while the Players’ Player, voted for her contribution both on and off the field, was awarded to Amelia Mallett.

Thank you to the senior girls who led by example – you will be missed, and we wish you the best for the future. The rest of the team looks forward to building on this year’s progress in 2026.

2025 Football Caps – Girls’ First XI

Amy Sexton (35 games): A versatile player able to cover wing, midfield, and defence. She has raised the standard of defending, is comfortable on both feet, and is one of the cleanest strikers of the ball in the league. Her voice and leadership on the field make her an invaluable asset.

Iris Webb (36 games): A fearless centre back, known for her tackling and commitment in every

50/50 challenge. She is relentless in defence, never hesitates to head the ball, and leads with infectious energy.

Elsa Greenbaum (37 games): Calm on the ball and strong in the tackle, Elsa is a reliable and dedicated member of the team. She can play anywhere along the back line and continues to step up each year as a crucial part of the defence.

FOOTBALL SOCIAL

“I’ve never played for a draw in my life.” – Sir Alex Ferguson

The 2025 football season was defined by resilience, talent and the inevitable tests of character that sport provides. With a squad featuring several former Premier players, the quality on display was undeniable. Yet, true to the cliché so often used in the beautiful game, it proved to be a season of two halves.

The team began in a lower division, posting victories that often stretched into double figures. However, a move into a more competitive grade soon followed. Here, fortunes fluctuated: some weeks brought dominant results, while others produced narrow wins and hard-fought battles. This shift demanded not only skill but also tenacity and unity, and it was here that the strength of the group’s culture shone through.

One standout fixture – though for unexpected reasons – saw several “invited ring-ins” arrive with makeshift shin pads

fashioned from shoe insoles and shirts either hanging loosely or straining at the seams. Alongside this questionable preparation came an embarrassing defeat. Yet it was in this very match that true character emerged: the willingness to laugh, regroup, and play for one another no matter the circumstances. A positive and inclusive culture became the real hallmark of the season. Whether in victory or defeat, competitive fun and mateship prevailed, making the season as rewarding off the field as it was on it.

Special thanks must go to our Gappies, Monty and George, whose energy and enthusiasm added great value to the coaching team. Their presence heightened the experience for players and coaches alike, ensuring the 2025 season will be remembered not only for the goals scored, but for the spirit in which the game was played.

GOLF

Golf at St Paul’s enjoyed another positive year, with continued growth in both participation and opportunities for development. A major highlight was the establishment of a new partnership with St Andrews Golf Club, which allowed our players to access the course on a weekly basis. This provided invaluable experience in game play and course management, ensuring that students could take their skills beyond the practice range and apply them under authentic playing conditions.

The annual Lindisfarne Exchange was contested at Morrinsville,

where our team faced a tough challenge and unfortunately came away with a heavy loss. While the result was disappointing, the fixture continues to be a valuable opportunity for our golfers to test themselves against strong opposition.

Several players also experienced the Waikato Matchplay Championships for the first time. This was an eye-opening introduction to the competitive and often unforgiving nature of matchplay. Although results did not go our way, the lessons learnt were significant, and the group is determined to return in 2026 with renewed confidence and a stronger tactical approach.

In the Waikato Collegiate Teams competition, St Paul’s fielded both junior and senior teams of four. With three scores to count, the format placed great emphasis on team responsibility and the importance of producing a competitive card for the benefit of the whole side. It proved a tough day out, and although we did not achieve the desired results, the

experience highlighted areas for growth and the mindset required in team-based competition.

Special thanks must be given to our Golf Captain, Boston Clark, who has been a loyal and dedicated student of St Paul’s golf for the past five years. His leadership, commitment and passion for the game, has set a fine example for younger players and left a lasting legacy for the programme moving forward.

BOYS’ FIRST XI HOCKEY

The 2025 season saw St Paul’s return to Rankin Cup after winning the Mayhill Cup in 2024. Mr Rees-Gibbs moved to the assistant coach role, with Mr Churchill coming across from the girls’ team to take over as head coach of the boys.

In the local round, the team put together a strong run of performances, beating St Peter’s School Cambridge and Hauraki Plains, losing only to Hamilton Boys’ High School in the round robin. One of the most remarkable games of the season came in the semifinal, where Cambridge High led 3–0 with one quarter to play. St Paul’s dug deep, with two goals from Quinn Harris and a buzzerbeater from Willem Groenendijk levelling the score at 3–3. The team went on to win the shootout 2–0. St Paul’s were unable to repeat their heroics in the final, going down 5–1 to Hamilton Boys’.

The Intercity competition saw St Paul’s face the top regional teams from the Waikato and Bay of Plenty. The boys drew with Tauranga Boys’ College, Rotorua

Boys’ High School, and Ruamata, with losses to Hamilton Boys’ High School, relegating them to the fifth/sixth play-off. They responded with a solid display against Rotorua Boys’, winning 2–1.

At Rankin Cup, the team had a tough draw against Christ’s College, Whangaarei Boys’ High School and Hastings Boys’ High School. Concerns of a slip-up against Christ’s College were quickly put to rest with an emphatic 6–2 victory and Quinn Harris astonishingly scoring all six goals. The boys could not get past Hastings or Whangaarei and finished third in the group. They responded well in a must-win game against Bethlehem College, winning 5–2, with Harris scoring four. This result importantly secured qualification for Rankin Cup the following year.

The boys then defeated Southland Boys’ High School 5–2 to reach the semifinal of the India Shield. However, they fell 1–0 to Marlborough Boys’ College. In the bronze medal match against

Lindisfarne, St Paul’s fought bravely to draw 1–1, courtesy of a brilliant Ben Lou drag flick with two minutes remaining. The game went to a shoot-out, which Lindisfarne won, leaving St Paul’s with fourth place in the India Shield (20th overall). A special mention goes to Quinn Harris, who finished as the tournament’s top scorer with 13 goals.

Representative honours were also earned, with Ben Lou selected for the Waikato Under 18 men’s team, Noah Candelaria and Tyler Percy-Graham for the Waikato Under 16 team, and Quinn Harris for the Waikato NHC men’s team.

GIRLS’ FIRST XI HOCKEY

The 2025 season was another strong chapter for the St Paul’s Girls’ First XI hockey team, building on the successes of the previous year.

Waikato Competition

In the Waikato Premier Grade, the girls finished fifth overall after some mixed results in a rebuilding year following the loss of eight players from 2024. This result earned the team a place in the Midlands Intercity Competition and the opportunity to further develop their teamwork and gameplay.

Midlands Intercity Competition

As defending champions, the team progressed through pool play unbeaten to reach the final, where they once again faced St Peter’s. Despite a 3–0 defeat to a well-structured opposition, the team had lifted their game considerably from their Waikato placing. Positional changes, commitment, and belief put them in a strong position heading into the Federation Cup.

Federation Cup/Marie Fry Trophy

The pinnacle of the season came in Wellington at the Federation Cup/Marie Fry Trophy. Wins over Marlborough College and Ruamata secured their place in the Federation Cup, before a loss to St Cuthbert’s College set up a quarter-final clash with St Margaret’s College. Despite a determined effort, including two goals disallowed, the girls went down 2–0 to the eventual winners.

In the play-offs for ninth to twelfth, the team defeated Taradale College before losing

to King’s College to finish tenth overall – equalling the best-ever result achieved by St Paul’s Girls’ hockey, set in 2024.

Individual Accolades

Five players – Paige Hopping, Iona Martynoga, Hayley Hanna, Mala Suvalko-Thomas, and Lucy Hadley – were selected for the Waikato Under 18 team that placed third at the National Tournament. Makayla Hollands was also selected for the Waikato Under 16 team.

TANNER CUP

The 2025 Tanner Cup saw a record 18 teams compete, travelling from as far north as Whangaarei and as far south as Dunedin. With six pools of three, the top team from each group advanced to the quarter-finals, while the remaining two spots were decided via a repechage play-off between second-placed teams.

St Paul’s Collegiate School once again fielded a team drawn from the Junior A and Development squads, coached by Hamish Cameron and Tom Fox, and managed by Anton Percy. With the tournament falling between Tihoi intakes, all Under 15 hockey players were available, and day boys experienced hostel life by boarding in Williams House.

On the turf, St Paul’s opened with a 4–2 win over St Andrew’s College, followed by a narrow 3–2 loss to Wellington College. This placed them second in their pool and into the repechage, where Westlake Boys’ High and John McGlashan College proved too strong.

In the ninth–twelfth play-offs, St Paul’s secured a tense shoot-out win over Christ’s College thanks to outstanding goalkeeping from Tyler Percy-Graham, before going down 4–1 to Timaru Boys’ High to finish tneth overall – a credible result in a record-sized field.

Tournament Dinner

The traditional Tanner Cup Dinner featured guest speaker Darren Smith, Olympian, Commonwealth Games player and Black Sticks Men’s coach. His insights and the boys’ thoughtful questions made for an inspiring evening.

Acknowledgements

Special thanks go to Mr Hollier (Facilities), Chef Warner (Kitchen), and their teams for their tireless work. International umpire Bevan Nichol deserves recognition for his exceptional mentoring of the officiating team, and thanks also to Sam Ashton for his support in running the tournament.

LACROSSE

The 2025 season was one of growth, grit and success for the St Paul’s Premier Girls Lacrosse Team. Under Coach Louise Hildrick’s guidance, the team built skills, resilience and unity, culminating in a strong performance at the National Secondary School Tournament at Rosmini College in Auckland.

A season highlight came on Saturday 16 August in the third/ fourth place Waikato playoff against Te Awamutu. The match started with early pressure, but goalkeeper Kiera Lloyd made crucial saves to steady the team. Midfielders Iona Martynoga and Makayla Hollands controlled the centre, creating chances for early goals. The attack line— Jayda Smith, Ella Robers, Leya Oliver, and Leila Stewart—moved cohesively, using space well and applying pressure.

In defence, Gracie Sarich, Annabelle Choy, Delta Downing, and Maddison Cox held firm. A key play saw Sarich intercept a fast break and flip it into a scoring chance. Though Te Awamutu

scored in the second half, St Paul’s responded calmly. Further goals came from Hollands, Tatenda Chikwiri, and Lucy O’Reilly, with Martynoga securing the win with her fourth goal, sealing an 11–4 victory—third in Waikato and a Nationals spot.

At Nationals, the team faced tough conditions and strong competition. A heavy 15–0 loss to Epsom Girls’ Grammar tested their resolve, but they bounced back with a narrow 4–3 win over Te Awamutu. Game 3 saw a loss to Westlake Girls.

Day 2 brought fresh energy with players returning from hockey nationals. The team defeated Mount Albert Grammar 14–1, then staged a thrilling 8–7 comeback over Te Awamutu to place fifth in New Zealand.

Thanks to Coach Lou Hildrick, manager Mrs Bromwich, and supportive families, 2025 was a season to remember. With a young team, St Paul’s looks forward to an exciting 2026.

NETBALL PREMIER

The St Paul’s Collegiate School Premier Netball team has enjoyed an outstanding season in the Indoor Premier B, Hamilton City Competition. The players’ commitment and hard work were evident each week, with everyone putting in the mahi at trainings and pushing each other to continually improve. As a result, every player showed significant growth in fitness, skill and confidence throughout the season. The team’s efforts culminated in a thrilling grand final that went to extra, extra time, with St Paul’s narrowly going down by just two goals, against Waikato University Premier Reserves, a result that reflects the grit and determination shown all year.

At UNISS, the team carried this momentum into a strong campaign. They opened with excellent wins over Tauranga Girls’ College and Macleans College, before producing two hard-fought and memorable victories against St Kentigern’s and St Dominic’s. Across ten challenging games,

the team showed resilience and togetherness, finishing in a very credible 16th place out of 128 teams. This year’s squad can be proud of their achievements, not only for the results on the scoreboard but also for the fitness, competitiveness, and team culture they built along the way.

Adding to this success, five of our players gained Hamilton City Representative honours, with many taking on leadership

responsibilities. Jasmine Davis captained the Hamilton City U18A team, with Anika Cowley also named in the U18A side. Zoe Tebbutt captained the U18B team, while Livvy Perenara led the U16A team as captain, joined by Klaudia Horsfall in the U16A squad. These selections are a testament to the talent, work ethic, and leadership qualities within this year’s Premier team.

NETBALL PREMIER RESERVE

The Premier Reserve Netball team enjoyed a season of growth, challenge and achievement in 2025. While results were at times mixed, the team showed resilience and steady improvement, ultimately finishing fourth in the competitive Senior A1 Secondary Grade.

A highlight of the season was the Hamilton City Netball Centre Tournament on the July 22, where the team performed with confidence to win the Development Grade. This success was a proud moment for both players and coaches, showcasing the progress made across the year.

Throughout the season, players developed not only technical skills such as accuracy in shooting, speed in transition and defensive pressure, but also vital qualities of teamwork, communication and resilience under pressure. Several players grew in confidence and consistency, going from strength to strength as the season unfolded.

The players were supported by teachers Mrs Cooley and Mrs Gibbs, who thoroughly enjoyed working with the team. Their focus on skill development and fostering a strong team spirit played a key role in the team’s successes. The 2025 Premier Reserve Netball team can be proud of their efforts and look forward to building on this foundation in seasons to come.

ROWING

The 2024/25 season was one of dedication, resilience and extraordinary achievement for St Paul’s Rowing. With 94 members and an additional 18 Year 9 boys completing Learn to Row, our club continued to grow in both participation and performance.

A major highlight was the North Island Secondary Schools Regatta, where our rowers qualified for 20 A Finals and 13 B Finals, securing second place overall in the North Island. Our athletes rose to the occasion, wearing their gold and black stripes with pride and supporting one another in every race. Their efforts delivered medal-winning performances in fiercely competitive fields.

At the Maadi Cup, our 58 athletes truly excelled. St Paul’s crews reached 15 A Finals and six B Finals, with 11 crews finishing in the top five in New Zealand. We proudly brought home two gold, three silver and two bronze medals, with several fourth and fifth place finishes missing the podium by mere tenths of

a second. These results are a testament to the perseverance, sacrifice and belief shown by our young athletes.

On and off the water, our coaching team worked tirelessly to support and guide each athlete toward their personal and crew goals. Their ongoing commitment and expertise, alongside the unwavering support of our rowing committee, dedicated parents and school leadership, ensure that St Paul’s Rowing remains one of the strongest programmes in the country.

Looking ahead, we are excited to welcome our first group of Year 9 girls, continue to recruit and develop novice rowers, and provide clear high-performance pathways for those who wish to excel. We are immensely proud of what our rowers, staff and supporters have achieved together, and we look forward to building on this momentum in the 2025–26 season.

RUGBY FIRST XV

The 2025 season was one of growth and resilience for a young First XV. Preparation began midway through Term 1 with long trainings before two successful trial matches against Downlands College from Australia. The final squad of 30 was confirmed ahead of the holidays, where the team’s campaign began with a tough 59–12 loss to Palmerston North Boys’ High. A preseason camp at Tihoi, mixing hard work with valuable team-building, became a turning point.

Early Term 2 featured the inaugural exchange with New Plymouth Boys’ High. In wet conditions, St Paul’s produced an energetic display to win 39–22, providing confidence heading into the Central North Island (CNI) competition. Results fluctuated as the team battled strongly against quality opposition: narrow losses to Lindisfarne (19–10) and St Peter’s School Cambridge (19–14), a gritty win over Wesley College (24–20) and strong victories against St John’s Hastings (55–5) and Francis Douglas (39–12). A trip to Feilding tested the side

against the benchmark team, and although beaten 35–7, St Paul’s competed fiercely. After the holidays, the team stayed in the hunt for a CNI semi-final with a 23–7 win over Whanganui Collegiate, before a heartbreaking 20–19 defeat to St John’s Hamilton ended those hopes. The season finished strongly, however, with playoff wins over Francis Douglas (24–22) and then St John’s (38–27) in the Plate Final – a satisfying way to close out the CNI campaign.

Tournament Week in Christchurch capped the year. Against St Andrew’s, St Paul’s showed character to steal a 23–21 win thanks to a late 40-metre penalty from Jackson Hay. The final outing against Christ’s College ended in a 32–24 loss, but again highlighted the team’s fighting spirit.

The season leaves plenty to build on with performances that showed real promise. Thank you to the players for their commitment, our parents and supporters for their tireless backing, and the management team whose work

behind the scenes made the season possible.

RUGBY SECOND XV GOLD

The memorable 2025 season was built on hard work, resilience, and belief. After a strong pre-season, with most of the boys training in the wider First XV squad, the foundations were set for what became a year to remember.

After a few weeks of grading, the tone was set in the division with a gritty opening win against a well-drilled Te Kuiti High School side, proving we had the skill, fitness, and determination to match – and better – local First XV teams. From there, the boys went on an impressive streak of five consecutive wins, building confidence and cohesion week by week.

A physical away trip to Tokoroa brought our first loss, but as is often the case in rugby, defeat proved to be a valuable teacher and prepared the team for a fitting rematch in the grand final two weeks later.

With home advantage in the final, the team came out firing, racing to a 17–0 lead after 20 minutes in front of a passionate crowd. Tokoroa, to their credit, muscled back into the contest with

powerful running and long spells of possession. In the end, a crucial second-half penalty gave us the buffer we needed, and the squad held firm to secure a deserved 20–12 victory.

In total, 35 boys pulled on the jersey this season – each one contributing to the success of the year. Special mention must go to Captain AJ Lake, whose leadership in the engine room was defined not by words, but by actions. A true team man.

RUGBY U16 WHITE

The U16 White squad can be proud of a season that showed real growth, resilience and determination. Competing in Division 4, the boys faced tough opposition early on, but steadily developed their game, turning hard lessons into strong performances.

Highlights included a gritty 24–15 win at home over Tokoroa and a dominant 44–17 victory away against Taumarunui. The season concluded with a remarkable contest against Otorohanga, where the team launched a spirited second-half comeback and came within a single play of snatching victory, eventually falling just short 41–36. That performance captured the heart of this team — courage, belief, and never giving up.

Throughout the year, the forwards worked tirelessly in tight exchanges while the backs looked to play with pace and width. Each week brought moments of character — a key turnover, a desperate cover tackle, or a flowing attacking move — that reminded us what this group was capable of. Even in defeat, the boys represented St Paul’s with spirit and pride.

St Paul’s U55 rugby team enjoyed a memorable season built on teamwork, determination and camaraderie.

Coached by Andrew Flexman, Dion Deane and managed by Nerroly Hay, the boys bonded tightly, showcasing both unity and individual flair. Andrew’s creative nicknames added fun and spirit throughout the season.

Always knowing the team would be depleted before the Tihoi boys departed, their final game together as a team was a highlight win over Hamilton Boys' High School in bleak conditions with a 52–7 triumph. Finishing with eight wins and three losses for the 2025 season, the team can be proud of their growth and passion.

The true success of the season was in the bonds built and the resilience shown. The players learned to trust one another, to respond positively to setbacks, and to embrace the challenge of competition.

Special congratulations go to our award winners: Best Back –Kye Gault, Best Forward – Rodie Whetu, Most Improved – Gabriel Bonnington and MVP – Will Roberts.

SCUBA DIVING

The 2025 season has been one to remember for the St Paul’s Collegiate School Scuba Diving Club. With a wave of enthusiastic new junior members joining our ranks, the club experienced a fresh burst of energy that shaped a dynamic and exciting year both above and below the surface.

Throughout the season, divers at all levels achieved impressive milestones. From first-time Open Water certifications to more advanced qualifications like Advanced Open Water and Stress and Rescue, each diver made significant progress. It was rewarding to see so many members step out of their comfort zones, develop confidence, and refine their skills through handson experience.

Our dives weren't just about technical growth—they were also about connection. Whether navigating new dive sites or surfacing with smiles, the team spirit remained strong. The friendships and camaraderie that developed were as meaningful as the diving itself, with every trip building memories we’ll carry for years to come.

We extend our sincere thanks to the team at GetWet Waikato, whose expert instruction and unwavering support have been key to our development. Their professionalism and encouragement created a safe and inspiring environment for all divers.

Looking ahead to 2026, we’re eager to take on new underwater challenges and continue exploring the ocean together. With more dives planned and a passionate team leading the way, the future looks bright—and blue—for our diving club.

SKIING

As we reflect on the 2025 season, the St Paul’s Collegiate School Snowsports Team celebrated a year marked by resilience, camaraderie and memorable moments on the mountain. Despite the challenges of unpredictable weather and limited snow coverage, the team embraced every opportunity to make the most of the season.

This year we enjoyed three adventurous weekends at Turoa Ski Field. Though conditions varied, each trip was filled with energy, team spirit and steady improvement on the slopes. A major highlight was our extended weekend in Wanaka, where we experienced incredible skiing and snowboarding across Treble Cone and Cardrona. These days provided some of the best snow and most exhilarating runs of the season, creating memories we won’t soon forget.

Unfortunately, the return of the Waikato Secondary Schools Ski Racing Competition (WSSSC) and North Island Secondary Schools Ski Racing Competition (NISSSC) was once again put on hold due to weather disruptions. Still, the

team’s passion never wavered. A number of new junior members joined this year, bringing a fresh wave of enthusiasm that helped fuel a positive and supportive team environment.

This season wasn’t just about racing—it was about friendships, fun, and the shared love of the mountain. A special thank you goes to Mrs Bromwich for her support across all three Ruapehu weekends, and to Mr Heaton for leading the Wanaka trip.

Here’s to more snow, more fun and more unforgettable adventures in 2026!

SQUASH

Squash in 2025 has been full of fun, learning and new players discovering the skill involved in this sport. We have again had the service of Greg Holt to coach our keen Winter Squash players, while the Summer terms offered a more relaxed atmosphere, providing a great opportunity for newcomers to come along, give it a go, and see if squash is a sport they’d like to pursue more seriously.

We had our best ever Waikato Secondary Schools results this year with the team of Hemi Gregory, Sean Lester and Hunter Corson finishing runner up in the main division. We also had success in the lower divisions with many podium finishes as well.

Our trip to Nationals in August was another challenging and tough competition. This year we only had Sean Lester from last year's team so it was a new experience for many of the players to be at an event at this level. The boys were seeded 19th and due to a couple of close results ended up in 24th.

A highlight of the year has to be selection to the New Zealand Secondary Schools team for Hemi Gregory, who at Year 9 has shown he is a future star of the sport. He will travel to Cairns and compete against players from two Australian states.

SWIMMING

The St Paul's swim team has had a strong 2025 season, building on the success of previous years. Our swimmers participated in several key competitions, achieving notable results across age groups.

At the NAGS Championships in April, the club finished ninth overall, with several swimmers achieving top ten rankings in their respective events. John Park stood out with multiple strong performances in breaststroke and individual medley, while Ashley Lander excelled in backstroke. Lani Jarrett also had a solid showing in backstroke and freestyle.

The team continued their strong performance at the Swimming NZ Secondary Schools National Championships in July, finishing 14th out of 74 schools. Several swimmers earned individual medals, including Neo Urlich (second in 50m Butterfly), John Park (third in 100m Breaststroke Relay) and Ashley Lander (third in 200m Backstroke).

The team also achieved several podium finishes in relay events, demonstrating excellent teamwork.

Relay Results at Nationals

• 4 x 50m Mixed Freestyle: second place

• 4 x 50m Mixed Medley: second place

• 2 x 50m Mixed Freestyle: second place and third place

• 8 x 50m Mixed Freestyle: second place

Earlier in the year, at the Waikato Regional Secondary Schools Swim Champs in June, the squad achieved a commendable third place overall. Several swimmers earned podium positions, including Emma Fletcher (second in 50m Butterfly and 50m Backstroke), Neo Urlich (first in 50m Butterfly and 50m Freestyle) and John Park (first in 50m Breaststroke).

These results reflect the dedication and hard work of our swimmers throughout the season. Congratulations to all team members for their efforts and contributions to St Paul's swimming program.

TABLE TENNIS

St Paul’s Collegiate School competed in the interschool table tennis competitions organised by Waikato Secondary School Table Tennis. These weekly matches, held throughout Terms 2 and 3, led up to the North Island Secondary School Championships during Tournament Week in late August.

Two teams represented St Paul’s. Heidi Liao, Ashwin Bhorkar and Alex Zhang made up one team,

while the second team included Mark Liao, Andrew Wang and Richard Wang. Both teams faced six other schools in round robin play, with many matches proving tightly contested and requiring focus and resilience. Despite the strong competition, our players delivered consistent performances and came away with excellent results.

After two days of intense play, St Paul’s finished on top of their

division. Heidi, Ashwin and Alex’s team earned the gold medal, while Mark, Andrew and Richard’s team secured silver.

It was a fantastic achievement and a reflection of their hard work, teamwork and dedication throughout the season.

TENNIS

2025 has been one of our busiest and most competitive tennis seasons yet. We had a solid mix of casual fixtures, local tournaments and national-level competition that pushed us to play to the highest level.

We opened at home against Lindisfarne College, and away vs St Peter’s School Cambridge. These were close fixtures with many matches going to deciding sets, setting the tone for a season of excellent tennis.

The Waikato Secondary Schools competition saw a full roster from St Paul’s, with seasoned competitors and newcomers all taking to the court with aplomb.

Hunter Corson and Charlie Parlane

We closed the season at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Tennis Cup, taking on some of the strongest schools in the country. A gruelling four days with matches lasting upwards of three hours in some instances, as our players battled it out.

Charlie Parlane, Hunter Corson and Fergus Hood made up the Boy’s team, and although plagued by injury in the final days, had strong performances to play off for ninth/tenth vs Lindisfarne College, this time managing to take the win. Shannon Yu and Judy Zhang fought hard in all their matches to take out fifth place in a thrilling final day vs Rangi Ruru Girls’ School.

Both the Boys’ and Girls’ Teams finished higher than seeded, and can be really proud of the grit, determination, and sportsmanship they showed during the week. This year showed the value of teamwork, resilience, and energy. We leave 2025 proud of what we achieved and ready to push for even more next season.

TOUCH RUGBY

This year was an exciting one for Touch Rugby at St Paul’s, with five teams taking the field across a range of grades. Each group faced its own challenges and enjoyed moments of success, but every team showed commitment, enthusiasm and growth throughout the season.

It was especially pleasing to have a mixed team running this year, giving both boys and girls the chance to enjoy the game together. This step reflects the inclusive spirit of Touch at St Paul’s and is something we hope to build on in the seasons ahead.

Across all teams, players developed valuable skills in speed, agility, and teamwork, while also learning the importance of communication and connection on the field. Playing outside of school in external modules will be an important next step in developing our game further, exposing players to a wider range of competition and helping lift the standard even higher.

VOLLEYBALL

The 2025 season was a milestone year for volleyball at St Paul’s Collegiate School, with more teams competing than ever before and a number of firsts achieved across both the girls’ and boys’ programmes. With six competitive teams entered, up from three in 2024, the growth of the sport within the school has been awesome to see.

Premier Girls

Our Premier Girls' team travelled to the National Secondary Schools Championships in Palmerston North for the first time. Previously, the team had only competed in satellite tournaments for the upper North Island, so this was a major step forward. In local competition, the girls played in the Waikato Premier Division after finishing in the top three of Division 1 last year. It was a challenging season against strong opposition, but the team claimed notable wins over Cambridge High School, Waikato Diocesan, and Onewhero. In the playoffs, they suffered a heartbreaking five-set loss to Te Aroha College, which meant they played off for eighth place in the division.

At Nationals, the team began strongly with impressive victories over Whanganui High School, Freyberg, Wellington High School, and beat division top seed Gisborne Girls’ High School. However, the playoffs proved tough and they eventually finished eighth in their division of 20.

Recognition also came for individual players, with Leila Steward selected for the Waikato U17 main squad and Harlow Adams named as a non-travelling reserve for the same team. Becca Winefield had an excellent season captaining the team and playing libero. Her service to the school over the last three years has been significant, playing in every cempetitve fixture since joining the school in Year 11.

Senior Boys

Another highlight of the season was the debut of our Senior Boys' team in the Waikato Secondary Championships. Playing in Division 1, the boys showed they could compete at this level, finishing seventh overall with strong wins against Hillcrest, Hauraki

Plains College, and Morrinsville College. The team benefitted from the leadership of Year 13 student Sanshiro Takahashi, who both captained and coached the side. Sanshiro’s service to volleyball has been significant, as he has contributed and helped train teams over the last three years, even when we haven’t had competitive boys teams.

Girls' Development Team

The Girls' Development Team competed in Division 2 of the Waikato Championships. While results didn’t always fall their way, they showed resilience throughout the season, recording a solid win over Hamilton Girls’ High and pushing Hillcrest close in two narrow losses.

Girls' Gold Team

Our Girls' Gold Team, playing in Division 4, enjoyed their share of success. They recorded wins against Hauraki Plains College and Sacred Heart and their improvement across the season was clear to see.

WATER POLO

In Term 1, St Paul’s Collegiate School entered four teams into the Waikato Secondary Schools Water Polo Competition. This was the first year we had fielded two boys’ teams, a girls’ team and a mixed team. The teams were coached by Lian Mazzoleni, Jack Morton and new coach Adam Milne, whose time and energy poolside were greatly appreciated.

The St Paul’s Collegiate School Black team secured third place with a narrow 7-6 victory over Hamilton Boys’ High School Gold. In the girls’ final, St Paul’s defeated Waikato Diocesan 4-3 in a tense match, with captain Caitlin Foote and Emma Fletcher scoring decisive goals and goalkeeper Brooke McAlley making crucial saves. This historic win marked the Senior Girls’ first division title, with Caitlin Foote also named Most Valuable Player.

In March, both the boys' and girls' teams competed at the North Island Secondary Schools Division Two Tournament in Auckland. The boys faced a tough pool, finishing 13th after a strong 7-4 win over Westlake Senior A2. The

girls achieved the school’s bestever result, placing sixth overall after qualifying for the top eight and defeating Mount Maunganui College 7-3. Caitlin Foote was further recognised with selection in the tournament team.

The boys also competed at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Division 2 Nationals in April. Despite a difficult draw, they

fought hard to secure a draw against Westlake Boys in their final game. Although results were limited, the players showed impressive development in skill and teamwork across the four days.

SCHOOL BALL

As the doors to the St Paul’s gym opened, guests were instantly transported into the vibrant and energetic world of the United States. The “All-American Ball” celebrated America’s diverse culture, iconic landmarks and love of sports and entertainment, creating a night full of glitz, glamour and excitement.

From the dazzling F1-styled Toyota FT-50 at the entrance to Indianapolis-themed racing simulators, the evening captured the thrill of fast cars, high-energy sports, and iconic cities.

Inside, the dance floor was alive from start to finish. Teachers and students alike could be seen on the dance floor, with the DJ’s high-energy setup creating a truly electric atmosphere that made it impossible to resist dancing.

Food and drinks were another highlight of the evening. Guests enjoyed a range of delicious United States inspired options, including hot dogs, curly fries, burgers and crispy chicken. Ice-cold Coke and Sprite were

the drinks of choice, wrapped in custom-printed St Paul’s “AllAmerican Ball” branding, an extra stylish touch that kept everyone refreshed all night long. Chef Warner and the catering team ensured every bite and sip was nothing short of perfection, keeping energy levels high all night. Guests were also treated to a serve-your-own dessert station featuring brownie and cookie dough pops, a sweet highlight that rounded off the evening perfectly.

The evening would not have been possible without the incredible support of Mrs Lock and Mr Wilson, whose guidance, expertise, and relentless behind-the-scenes work ensured that the night was a great success. The ball committee, Annabelle, Emily, James, Iona, Paige, Issy, Matt and Becca, all played a crucial role, dedicating countless hours to planning, decorating and coordinating to bring the All-American Ball to life.

With its thrilling activities, exceptional food and unforgettable atmosphere, the 2025 All-American

Ball truly captured the bold, dynamic and electrifying spirit of America, while creating a night full of laughter, dance and memories that will last a lifetime.

GRANDPARENTS’ DAY

YEAR 12 LEADERSHIP CAMP

Our annual Year 12 Leadership Camp illustrated exceptional passion, enthusiasm and humility from aspiring leaders. With over 80 aakonga attending this year’s camp, we were impressed by the collaborative efforts, vulnerability and outstanding support peers demonstrated over the three days.

Kicking off in the Lander Centre, with a keynote from the Headmaster, a driving message was being brave and putting yourself out there; embrace the growth that exists in discomfort. As students arrived at Tihoi, raw team work was highlighted - or exposed - in Day 1 activities. From listening, effective communication, group performances and a highly competitive Amazing Race, students got stuck in mixing with new peers, strengthening relationships and complimenting each others’ strengths.

We were spoiled with three impressive guest speakers - Paul Wilson, Jon Calder and Sarah

Cowley. All three provided different perspectives on leadership, had very different life journeys and some valuable advice.

The Inka Pole, rounding off the three days, truly celebrated the goals that can be achieved when we work together, motivate one another and show genuine

unity. An exceptional group of individuals who will no doubt leave positive marks on the future - both in and beyond our school gates.

A huge thank you to all the staff who attended and contributed to the successful running of the camp.
