Report Interviews
Thank you to those parents /
caregivers who arranged for
interviews with teachers to
discuss your child’s learning.
If you were not able to
arrange for an interview,
either because you were not
available or because the
teachers was already fully
booked, please don’t
hesitate to contact your
child’s Dean who will ensure
that the teacher makes
contact with you.
We are continuing to explore our charter theme for this term, Flat Out
and Loving it. With respect to this, one of the aspirations we have for all
of our students is that they are encouraged and challenged to identify
and develop an intelligence, an interest, a talent through which they can
become all they were meant to be – whether that is in learning, sporting,
cultural or service endeavours
We often think of talent as what one is naturally born with. Matthew
Syed writes of the research carried out by an American Psychologist,
Anders Ericsson, who considered what makes for outstanding
performance. His subjects were violinists at a Music Academy, which he
divided into three groups. The first group comprised of an elite group of
outstanding performers expected to become international soloists; the
second were extremely good and, although unlikely to become star
soloists, were destined for playing in the world’s top orchestras. The
final group were students studying to become music teachers and while
competent, were not considered to be as able as the first two groups.
This is no disrespect to the teachers, who in fact require a vast range of
other qualities and competencies to be a great teacher, beyond the
ability to be an expert at one’s subject.
The research showed however that there were actually no systematic
differences between the three groups. Their natural aptitude for music
was in fact similar. All the students began formal lessons at around 8
years of age; all of them first decided to pursue a career in music at
around 15 years of age and both the number and quality of their
teachers was similar. But there was one difference between the groups
that was both dramatic and unexpected; Ericsson found that the
distinguishing factor for the three groups was hours devoted to serious
practice. By the age of twenty, the best violinists had practised on
average ten thousand hours; two thousand hours more than the very
good violinists and six thousand hours more than the violinists studying
to become music teachers.
But that was not all. Ericsson and his colleagues also found that there
were no exceptions to this pattern. Not one single musician who had
reached the elite group, did so without 10,000 hours of practice, and
nobody who had worked their socks off had failed to excel. Purposeful
and diligent practice was the only factor distinguishing the best from the
rest. Further research has confirmed that it is practice, not talent,

which ultimately matters and that this stands for
all forms of endeavour including sports, cultural
and arts, leadership or academic study.
When we hear people dismiss their potential with
statements like “I’m not a natural” or “I don’t
have the brain for numbers,” it is often based on
little more than a few weeks or months of halfhearted
effort. What the science is confirming
for us is the old saying, practice makes perfect and
that effort rather than raw talent matters most.

Follow-up from Reports
If you have any concerns relating to your child’s
academic progress, please don’t hesitate to
contact me. This also applies to any queries abut
the Junior Diploma of Learning for Year 9 and 10
students and the credits achieved, etc. If a student
does not gain his/her Junior Diploma of Learning,
he/she will be required to repeat some or all of
the Year 10 subjects until such time as we are sure
that the student concerned is capable of working
at NCEA Level 1.
NCEA Levels 1, 2, 3
All Year 11, 12 and 13 students should have
gained at least 20 credits by now. We will be
meeting with the students whom we consider to
be “at risk” in terms of not achieving their NCEA at
this stage of the school year. Two of the
strategies which we are currently considering for
these students (if necessary) are:

We are continuing in river group time to explore
the 4 R’s of powerful learning: resilience,
resourcefulness, reflectiveness and reciprocity.
Following a self assessment inventory which
students completed recently, they have now
received a graph which gives a visual image of how
they see their own learning power, as in the
following example. Over the next few weeks, we
will be working with students on ways in which
they can increase their own learning power.
Extra days of school during the next
holidays
After school Work and Homework sessions
to enable students to “catch up”.
Students who have not achieved the necessary
credits in Term 4 do not get study leave – they will
be required to remain at school in their
timetabled classes until such time as they have
achieved.

History 2011
Kathryn Reed
Year 12 and 13 History students are finding new
ways to appreciate the past and are enriching
their knowledge by learning outside the
classroom.
Last week, Year 13 History students went to
Auckland’s Maidment Theatre to see ATC’s
production of Mary Stuart-the dramatization of
one of the most gripping true stories of all time
about the fight-to-the-death between Queen
Elizabeth I and her cousin Mary Queen of Scots
over who should rule England.
NZQA Financial Assistance

The Information Hub
Amanda Fitzpatrick
We are well into the second term and the Hub is
buzzing; lunchtimes are an amazing sight with kids
challenging others in chess and checkers and all the
computers are in full use whether it’s for homework
or playing. Cards are being shuffled and dealt along
with kids just chilling out on the couches reading. The
Hub certainly attracts many students at lunchtimes
and it’s awesome to see them just mingle with each
other. The music is always going but now that winter
is nearly here, I have started playing movies on the
big screen which is always an attraction.
Well done to Nathan Broadbent on being the Chess
Champ for Term One. The Term Two draw is up and
well into playing to find out who will be our champ
this term. Checkers has also started but not as
popular as chess.
Plenty of new books have been catalogued and put
on the shelves and as always, the kids grab them very
quickly.
Thanks to all the people who have dropped off
magazines; they are always welcomed.
At the start of the year, the NZQA fee of $75.00
was added to all senior students statements. We
have since been advised that this fee is $76.50.
This is taking into account the new GST rate that
was introduced in October last year. This being
the case, many statements now have an
outstanding balance of $1.50 after all other fees
have been paid.
If you have any queries please don’t hesitate to
contact the main office or student centre.
From the Guidance Dept…
Trevor Benns
I attended a Youth Justice workshop recently and
was impressed by a poster on the wall. It
reminded me of the important job we have, as
parents, to set the example. Here it is:
IF YOU WANT YOUR KIDS TO BEHAVE,
Children generally don’t
misbehave to annoy you. They’re
just being kids. And how you
react to their behaviour shapes
them. If you’re aggressive, they’ll
be aggressive. On the other hand,
control your temper and they’ll
learn to control theirs. There’s lots
of really simple things you can
do which will improve their
behaviour, and make your life
easier. You should start by
setting clear rules and sticking to
them. Praise good behaviour. If
they’re misbehaving, criticise the
behaviour, not your child. And if
the kids are really getting on
your nerves, use “time out”, stick
them in a safe, quiet place for a
few minutes while you both cool
off. But above all, try to keep your
sense of humour. It’s not always
easy, but it’s worth it to help break
the cycle.
BEHAVE YOURSELF.

Recent Achievements
HPC Cross Country Championships
The HPC Cross Country finals were on the 18 th May and
again held at South Farm. After weeks of training,
students qualified this year with the top 15 boys and
girls from each age group competing at this challenging
course. In perfect conditions the course was set for
the students with plenty of hill climbing, stream
crossing and cow pad running. The senior and
intermediate boys ran a total of 4.5km with the
remaining groups completing a 3km course.
A big thank you to Andrew & Sharon Gordon for
allowing this event to take place on their property and
also thank you to Tim Summers for his assistance on
the day, much appreciated.
The top 3 placings were as follows:
Junior Boys
1 st – Adrian Knight
2 nd – Ethan Rennie
3 rd – Will Newbold
Intermediate Boys
1 st – Aidan Summers
2 nd – Thomas Prescott
3 rd – Finn Rowden
Senior Boys
1 st – Josh Mounsey
2 nd – James Leuthart-

Congratulations to the champions and to all of those that
took part.
Te Kuiti High School Sports
Exchange
A really early start (and a bit of a shock to the
system) for 70 students and 7 staff as the
buses pulled out of the HPC bus bay at 7am
bound for Te Kuiti in very wet conditions.
After a quick stop in Otorohanga for the usual
reasons, we arrived at Te Kuiti High School at
9.15am. After a fantastic Powhiri by the Te
Kuiti students, it was straight into the first
round of matches between the Hockey Boys
Sevens, where goal for goal both teams
fought their way through the puddles, some
nice passing after half time from HPC resulted
in a win 6-3.
The second round of matches involved the
Hockey Girls Sevens, Senior Boys Basketball
and Girls 1 st XI Football. The HPC hockey girls
really put on the skills winning 15-0, while the
Girls Football also proved too strong winning
12-0. After a slippery start at the Boys
Basketball, the game was called off at quarter
time, deeming the surface at the indoor
stadium too dangerous which was
unfortunate, as it looked to be a close game
between these two teams.
The final two games of the day saw both
College A Netball teams head to the town
courts to battle it out with HPC displaying
some good netball and another victory 53-16.
Meanwhile, back at the college field, the HPC
1 st XV put on a very strong performance in
front of a good crowd, winning 92-0.
All in all another fantastic day of sport and
friendship between these two schools who
have been friendly rivals this since 1963.

Thames Valley Secondary Schools
Cross Country Championships
Thirty athletes made their way by bus to Te
Aroha on the 25 th May for the annual Thames
Valley Secondary Schools Cross Country
Championships. The course was in excellent dry
conditions with half of our athletes placing in
the top 10 of their age group – superb effort.
Our top 3 placings were: Sophie Pulford was 2 nd
in the Junior Girls, Helena Gasson was 3 rd in the
Senior Girls and Josh Mounsey was 2 nd in the
Senior Boys.
As a team – Our Junior Girls & Senior Boys both
finished in 1 st place with our Intermediate Boys
& Senior Girls both finishing in 3 rd place.
Congratulations to the champions and to all
those who took part.

North Island Secondary Schools
Swimming Championships
Congratulations to Helena Gasson and Libby
Gray who represented HPC at the NISS
swimming which was held at the Freyberg High
School in Palmerston North on 21 st May. 55
schools attended and the standard was very
high. Only two age groups were swum with the
intermediates combining with the seniors to
form a 15 and over age group so the
competition in this section was very tough.
Helena performed extremely well to gain a 2 nd
in the 200 Individual Medley, a 3 rd in the 100
Butterfly in a personal best time of 1.05.51 and
backed this up 5 minutes later with a 2 nd place
in the 400 Freestyle – with less than a second
from the 1 st place getter who is the current age
group champion.
Libby also performed well as a 15yr old in the
senior section with a 9 th place in the 200
Backstroke and 11 th in both the 100 Backstroke
and 100 Breaststroke.
Fantastic results, well done to you both.
Wear our team uniform with pride
Always put learning before sporting and
cultural activities
You are expected to be a good sport ie a
gracious winner and a dignified loser
Note that students may be stood down from
a team or game through:
‣ Unsatisfactory attendance (below 90%)
‣ Ongoing behavioural concerns at school
‣ Serious discipline breach which results in
stand down or suspension
‣ Lack of commitment and progress in
classroom learning
