OUR FIRST XI IS BOWLED OVER BY A
REPEAT PERFORMANCE
Two years of picking up everyone else’s rubbish produced its rewards for the Kavanagh College
First XI when it collected the Australasian Christian Brothers’ Cricket Tournament title in Brisbane
in January. The team members and parents raised money for the trip to Brisbane by cleaning
up Carisbrook after major rugby games.
The tournament involves 18 Catholic schools from around Australia and New Zealand and is
thought to be the largest of its type in the world. It has been going for thirty years and this was the
second time Kavanagh has taken the title. The first time was in 1997 when Br Shepherd was the
bus driver. Br Shepherd was very much in the team’s thoughts as they made their way through the
tournament.
Kavangh was the only team to remain unbeaten. It played teams from Adelaide, Canberra, Toowoomba,
Ipswich and Brisbane on the way to the final against St Laurence (Brisbane). Kavanagh
scored 228 in the final and restricted St Laurence to 187. Tom Buchan, who batted consistently
throughout the week, was subsequently selected as the captain of the Australasian Tournament
team. The strength of the Kavanagh team was its teamwork. Different players chipped in when
it was needed, so the win could truly be termed a team effort. Simon Cutler and James Bracewell
topped the wicket-taking, with 12 each, while Nick Beard produced the figures for the week with a
spell of 10 overs, 8 maidens, 1 for 3. Richard Thompson produced top individual winnings of 88,
and Daryl Caldwell top-scored in the final with 745. A large band of supporters travelled with the
team and its vocal support was an important ingredient.
The team wound down with six days on the Gold Coast, a fitting reward after all the hard work.
But it’s straight back to Carisbrook, as the players have now set their sights on returning to Brisbane
next January to defend the title. The players were: James Bracewell, Brendan Eathorne,
Sean O’Callaghan, Nick Beard, Michael Bracewell, Daryl Caldwell, Tumua Ioane, Patrick Cairns,
Jesse Farry, Damian George, Richard Thompson, Tom Buchan and Simon Cutler. A huge vote of
thanks goes from the team to manager Mr Dave Eathorne who spent countless hours planning and
organising the trip.
This year’s musical: The Wiz!
The Wiz is steaming onto the stage on May 6th with a massive Gala Opening to celebrate the
10th anniversary of the partnership of directors Chris Manley, Marie Ferris, Daniel Kelly and
Pauline Meinung. In May 1996, just one year short of having our own auditorium, this team
produced The Wiz at the Dunedin College of Education facility and began an annual run of hit
shows that have firmly established Kavanagh as a centre of cultural excellence.
Members of the original cast, crew and band are cordially invited to come and share some memories
with us at this Red Carpet Premiere. Please contact the school for further details.
Holding auditions and casting the show made it clear that there was a wealth of talent available.
Every year we have mourned the loss of our Year Thirteens, only to find that another group of
skilled performers has been literally waiting in the wings to step into the spotlight. This year is
no exception and we are confident of delighted audiences wending their way home still humming
the enchanting melodies.
The show band is also very much enjoying the high energy music of this seventies soul spectacular.
A considerable change from the tragic grandeur of Les Misérables, The Wiz is a romp
through Michael Jackson’s past life as a scarecrow and Diana Ross’ reincarnation as the oppressed
Dorothy. But if you thought that OUR show would bear any relationship to the classic
movie, you would be only partly right…. The songs are still the same!
Considering our Technical Director, Hamish Morton, was in Year 8 at school the last time we
produced this show, he can be forgiven for not being one of the original team! Nevertheless, we
could not imagine being able to do a show without him. Similarly Suzie Smith’s marketing skills
and Serafina Togiatama’s costume designs have become part of the trademark Kavanagh “style”
that has been such an important part of a winning combination for many years.
Truly a show with magic, The Wiz is ideal family entertainment with plenty of fun for all ages.
Remember the Yellow Brick Road? Come “ease on down” it with us!
The Wiz opens Saturday May 6th
with a Red Carpet Gala Performance.
It then runs Tues 9th to Fri 12th May.
Tickets available from the school office
from Mon 1st May.
Book early to avoid disappointment.

HOUSE POINTS WON
AT EDGAR CENTRE
On St Patrick’s Day, the Intermediate
Department held their annual interhouse
sports day. The children were
split into 24 teams – 4 per house. Mr
Soper expertly organised 12 sports
that included soccer, hockey, cricket,
volleyball, touch, netball, basketball
and a range of co-operative games.
As part of the lunchtime entertainment
the staff played the ‘A’ netball
team from 2005 and the top boys’
basketball team.
We are thankful to the older students
who refereed and coached the teams.
The Year Thirteens – Brendan Eathorne,
Karl Sefton and Patrick Cairns
did an excellent job while the 14 Year
Ten students were great value.
The winning team, on countback, was
Gabriel 1 from Rice 1. The winning
house overall was McAuley by one
solitary point from Pompallier and
one more point back to Gabriel. It
was a tremendous day, watched by
many parents and participated in
vigorously and positively.

the rant... Guest ranter Sam Wilson, Year 11
Monday morning, 8.50am. Kavanagh College Year 11 students straggle into the gym along with
shouts of : “It’s too cold!” “What a waste of time!” “Why can’t we do something fun for a change?”
In charges Mrs Stewart and paper starts to rustle as the usual suspects pull out their notes. “ Mrs
Stewart, I twisted my ankle at netball,” “ Mrs. Stewart, Mum says I can’t do P.E ‘cos I just had my
meningitis shot yesterday,” “ Mrs. Stewart my braces hurt.” Here at Kavanagh College we have 3
hours of PE fortnightly. Is this sufficient? I say: no!

‘Sport must be compulsory
in schools’. Everyday we’re
bombarded with facts on obesity
and heart disease and do we
have to learn how to work in
a team by working in KFC or
can sport teach us this minus
the fat and chicken. The youth
of today should have a more
balanced curriculum to suit
today’s changing society.
So, obesity... It’s probably one
of if not the biggest health
risks affecting the youth of today.
According to the Ministry
of Health website one third
of children between 5 and 14
are overweight or obese. One
third! So if a class was New Zealand ,10 of you would be overweight. Imagine that. Those same
stats also say that 13 of 30 percent of children do no physical exercise during the weekend. That’s
pathetic. Obesity is an ever-spiraling problem, as well as making children lazy, tired and anxious
it increases the likelihood of diabetes and heart diseases. Every day I hear insults being thrown at
fat kids and 95% of the time those kids could stop the insults if they were just introduced to sport
regularly at school. It’s pretty simple really.
On top of all this sport isn’t just an arena for meatheads either. I’m sure every sport in the world has
a social league where winning means nothing. Even in competitive competition most people just
play for the friendship aspect. As well as friendship a number of other values can be learnt from
playing sport. These values can also be used when it comes to jobs. Adverts these days always ask
for team players with social skills, something that could be instilled in all children from a very early
age if sport was seen as a critical facet of education.
So there are several reasons why sport has to be a must in schools. I believe that if the inclusion of
compulsory sport ever occurs in ll levels of our curriculum, we will see the results. Children will be
healthier, friendlier and will have a more well rounded life and less rounded body.

Alex Gorrie Yr 9
Pablo Dohms
Y13, German
exchange student
KALA: English and drama teacher, or else I’ll do Gabrielle Styles (except my
Carlos will be a hot Samoan rugby player) and become a desperate housewife.
DREW: Professional musician and/or guitar tutor.
PABLO: Two more years school in Germany, then military service and probably languages at uni.
TRIBUTE TO BR SHEPHERD:
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
On behalf of the little Sisters, I would like to thank
you for the privilege of caring for Br Shepherd,
known as John Henry or Shep. Brother brought
so much joy and happiness into our home just
being himself. We Sisters could not help admiring
Brother, for we had to place him at a table in
the dining room with ladies in their mid-seventies
to nineties and it was not possible to have very
stimulating conversation. However, he could see
what needed to be done for the residents and did
it: such as Sr Pauline, who need to be taken out of
the Chapel after Mass, so he took it on as his job.
Then he noticed how the nurses in the dining room
wheel in about twenty walking frames to their
owners, so he would bring them in. One night
we were very short of staff in the dining room for
serving the meal, so he asked: “Now what can I do
to help you?”
Our nurses were really touched by the way he tried
to do all he could for himself and his acceptance of
his condition in such an uncomplaining way, never
feeling sorry for himself, always having a goal. In
fact, one of the nurses said that not many people
had touched her the way Brother had, and that
over the years she had seen many. Others said that
Brother had a good sense of humour, that he made
them laugh so that they felt uplifted in his presence
and that one could sense his inner strength.
He crossed all ages with the same understanding.
Many of our staff are not Catholics, but Brother’s
inner peace and acceptance went beyond just faith
to touch all lives. There were times when everyone
felt that there was something that we could
tempt Brother to eat or to make his life a little
more comfortable. When asked, the reply was:
“Oh, you’re too good. I have all I need.” When
Sr Mary Catherine told him about one of our Little
Sisters who had just been diagnosed with cancer
and had three months to live, he asked for her
phone number and contacted her so that she and Sr
Carmel could talk together.
There were days in the last weeks that Brother said
how much he hated missing Mass, but he truly
was too ill. One of those days was October 7th,
the Feast of the Rosary, but in the afternoon, when
the relics of St Therese of the Child Jesus came
home for one hour, he struggled to walk to the
Chapel. You could see how weak he was but also
what love and faith he had. I will add that the cap
was in his hand.
The number of young people who came to visit
him was exceptional.. They improved our singing
at Mass on several occasions. One can’t help but
think of all the testimonies made by the youth a
the vigil and for the Requiem Mass a number of
young people standing up the sides of the Church
and in the sanctuary. There must have been 800
people all together for one humble servant of
Edmund Rice, who loved the Good Shepherd
and spent his life loving his neighbours, doing so
much good for all. He won’t be on the top media
programme, which is a crying shame for the world
is crying out for witnesses of love like Brother. If
all those present take heed of Bishop Campbell’s
homily and not make Brother a memory but put
into practice what he taught, then the Church in
Dunedin and beyond will be a true remembrance
of a wonderful person who worked quietly in the
Lord’s Vineyard. Thank you once again, Brother,
for the privilege you gave to all who live at Sacred
Heart Home.
In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary

Assessment:
For the last six weeks the Year 11 Drama
class has completed their first NCEA
achievement standard for the year by
devising and rehearsing a series of short
plays using the galleries of the Otago Museum.
The Museum staff provided excellent
support and guidance both during the
development of the dramas and also by
giving us the opportunity to perform them
to an audience on the evening of Wednesday
April 5.

Why have Athletics Day? Why not! After
all, we get to run and jump and be hyperactive.
We can chat to our mates all day, set
records (some of us, anyway) and walk
around aimlessly in our number ones. We can
even scream at random people and generally
raise the roof with barely a raised eyebrow or
detention slip. And come on, how often do we
get to break out the old potato sack and make
a quick(ish) dash in it? Athletics Day is a fun
day to be had by all. With an all day canteen,
a warm sun (after 10 am) and house points up
for grabs by even the slowest competitor, it’s
got to beat class hands down. How could you
want to slob at home? The atmosphere created
by the cheering spectators is enhanced by
the guys with drums over in Pompallier. So
let’s get stuck into Kavanagh Day!
RUGBY OFF TO A GREAT START THIS YEAR!
Kavanagh proved to be a surprise packet at the Otago Secondary Schools’ Sevens Rugby Tournament, winning
the U18 title and finishing runner up in the U16s. This represented an outstanding effort against teams from all
the leading schools in the province.
Kavanagh U18s disposed of Bayfield, Dunstan and Otago Boys’ High before downing old rivals St Kevin’s
in the semi-final. It made no race of the final against John McGlashan College and drew much praise for its
polished and skilful display from the many spectators present. The team, well led by Wesley Mason, was Nick
Beard, Patrick Crowley, Karl Sefton, Tumua Ioane, Louis Tili, Matt Gallagher, Daryl Caldwell, Ofa Moata’ane
and Michael Kapua.
The U16 team did exceptionally well, considering that Louis Tili and Tumua Iaone played in the older age
group. This team had wins over Logan Park, Strathconain (Canada) and West Otago, before upsetting the highly
fancied Kings High School team in the semi-finals. They went down in a keenly fought final to Otago Boys’
High. The team was Sean Crowley, Michael Bracewell, Kane Wehi, Josh Tulia, Tom Woodhouse, Stephen
Maota’ane, Isino Muasika, Rainar Boreham, Campbell Munro and Martin Forde.

LEARN ON THE JOB!
Work experience offers a range of opportunities for students. Recently
the Life Skills students participated in a week’s work placement. A
range of placements were found for the students including spending
time with a TV news cameraman, assisting at Taieri Gorge Railways,
electrical work, SPCA, pet shop assistant, retail clothing store assistant,
car panel-beating workshop, welding workshop, florist, bakery,
and car sales.
The employers were welcoming and supportive of the students. Employer
feedback reports were excellent and the students gained valuable
skills from their placements. Some of the students won part-time
employment from their placements. The students prepared thank you
letters which were sent to the employers.
We really appreciate the ongoing support from our local community.

KAVANAGH HORROR-SCOPES
By Hope Robertson and Keady Doherty.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Beware Thursdays. This is the day when you will forget your lunch. Mars is extra red this term, therefore
the stars suggest you make it the previous night and stick a post-it note on your forehead as a reminder. (All term)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will experience success later this term. Although you may think study will hinder other activities
(eating, sleeping…) it will be worth it in the end.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Watch out for seagulls near the 11th. Ham sandwiches attract them. On the brighter side, good fortune
will bring $3.45 your way.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): A ‘classroom romance’ will sweep you off your feet , so take care of the stairs (especially in the Mercy
Block).
LEO (July 23-August 22): Happy days are yours in the week of the 22nd, as a new look or purchase (possibly a new 1B5?) will bring
attention your way.
VIRGO (August 23-September 22): Take care in the cold weather. Prevailing winds could cause a sore throat, ear infection or an
unexpected kilt flash.
LIBRA (September 23-October 22): Try your hardest not to offend the sun god. He may not show his face for a long time and your
village’s crops will fail.
SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): Near the 15th, you will lose your favourite pen. CONTROL YOUR ANGER! Like most things
in life, this is only a temporary disturbance.
SAGITTARIUS (Novemebr 22-Decemebr 21): Free your mind! Be open to many new things, such as music, sport and culture. But
remember: don’t party too hard: hugs, not drugs.
CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19): Curiosity gets the better of you and your experiments in teachers’ anger thresholds will go
horribly wrong.
AQUARIUS (January 20- February 18): Keep your shirts tucked in. Teachers with names ending in the letter “y” will be on the prowl.
PISCES (February 19- March 20): A saucy look from a hot classmate will give you a boost near the 30th. Follow this; it could bring
inspiration.

ON METAPHORS
The Lava Lamp by Carie Jewiss
A rocket full of lava
I stare at it every night
Wondering if it will take off
With every blob
Its power grows for the day
It will blow
It is quite evil
With blobbing noises
I hear and it gets hot
Out in the night
The lava burns and sizzles
It scares me
The Fireplace by Luke Martin
The mouth of a roaring red and orange monster
That sucks the victim in. And burns until it’s cooked.
Then he swallows it and leaves only ash behind.
Then it gets tired and lets down the flame.
Until it is gone and no life is left.
And then it’s dark.
And the night has died.
The Tree by Emma Clark
Stepping into the street outside my door,
they start the day with a tremendous roar.
They send their arms swinging through the air
Tugging and pulling at my messed up hair.
I look up and see so many bones
With their hissing and howling making hideous tones.
The Washing Machine by Georgia Dunbar
One sunny Sunday morning
A mean machine swallows up all my clothes
Spins them round and round
Then spits them out
All out on the floor
All wet and soggy.
A Monster in the Dishwasher by Caitlin McLellan
I think there’s a monster in the dishwasher with a big
appetite for scraps.
We feed it children from a box.
I think he really likes them: we feed him a lot.
I don’t ever see the monster but I do see its long silver
tongue
And when I open the door, the dishes are clean
and warm from the monster’s warm tongue.
But what’s that? The monster is angry. Look a this eyes.
HELP! I AM NOT PUTTING THESE DISHES AWAY!
