Dear Parents and Friends <strong>of</strong> ACG Sunderland<br />

Well, <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r has turned, it has taken at least thirteen weeks and we may well have wet wea<strong>the</strong>r for <strong>the</strong><br />

school holidays too.<br />

It has been a long Term and <strong>the</strong> students are tired (as are some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> staff). The holidays will be a time to<br />

relax and recharge our batteries ready for Term Two. This week I did remind <strong>the</strong> students at <strong>the</strong> College<br />

assembly that it is only five weeks into Term Two that <strong>the</strong> first set <strong>of</strong> examinations hit. Therefore, it will be<br />

important that some revision takes place over <strong>the</strong> next two weeks. This reminder does align well with our study<br />

programme being distributed this week. ‘The Learning Journey’ is a collection <strong>of</strong> ideas and thoughts we have<br />

put toge<strong>the</strong>r to assist our students on <strong>the</strong>ir journey to achieving successful outcomes with <strong>the</strong> examination<br />

process. Please do not hesitate to speak with your Homeroom or Form teacher about revision suggestions.<br />

I had <strong>the</strong> privilege <strong>of</strong> attending <strong>the</strong> opening night <strong>of</strong> ‘Ka-Pow’, <strong>the</strong> College Production for 2013. It really was a<br />

highly entertaining and enjoyable experience with a near full house. The audience and performers really did<br />

enjoy <strong>the</strong> whole performance. Well done to everyone involved. I wish to highlight Ms Adrienne Petre for her<br />

direction, Mr Daniel O’Connor for his expertise with <strong>the</strong> music and his energy with props and set production.<br />

O<strong>the</strong>r staff involved were Miss Alva McHugh and Mrs Janine Tyler who assisted with directing and I believe<br />

Mr Bill Draper did some painting <strong>of</strong> props too. A very big thank you, to you all.<br />

I wish to congratulate Gregor Macdonald and <strong>the</strong> entire McDonald House team for organising our first service<br />

for <strong>the</strong> year. With over fifty students and staff in attendance last Friday night, we were all surprised just how<br />

much work was achieved. The courtyard area now looks fantastic with fresh mulch and a clean and pruned<br />

look throughout. Thank you to everyone who took part. Remember to support those that donated goods for<br />

this service, below.<br />

Congratulations to everyone involved with <strong>the</strong> PrEP Market Day on Monday afternoon. It was a<br />

tremendous atmosphere and very much akin to a ‘trading floor’. Within only about twenty minutes,<br />

most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> products had been keenly ‘brought up’ and parents and friends had arms laden with<br />

quality goods. It was a sell out in <strong>the</strong> end.<br />

I know <strong>the</strong> children learned a great deal from <strong>the</strong> experience and we are confident <strong>the</strong>y will be far<br />

more prudent with <strong>the</strong>ir hard earned ‘pocket money’ in <strong>the</strong> future. Special thanks to all <strong>the</strong> Primary<br />

staff for <strong>the</strong>ir patience and perseverance during this very important process.<br />

ANZAC Day this year is during <strong>the</strong> holiday period. Mrs Leanne Chartrand will be<br />

<strong>the</strong> staff representative for ACG Sunderland at <strong>the</strong> Swanson RSA on 25 April at<br />

9.00am (a programme is included at <strong>the</strong> conclusion <strong>of</strong> this newsletter.) All<br />

students, parents and staff are encouraged to attend this very important day. The<br />

school Leaders will all be in attendance in school uniform.<br />

The Parents and Friends committee held it’s AGM and reflected on what a tremendous year <strong>the</strong><br />

organisation has had. With <strong>the</strong> completion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> three year project <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sun shades, <strong>the</strong> quick<br />

completion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> very popular Primary sandpit and not forgetting <strong>the</strong> highly successful social<br />

functions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Supersized Picnic, Parents and Friends Breakfasts, Trivial Pursuit nights and <strong>the</strong> Art<br />

Auction. Much <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se successes can be attributed to <strong>the</strong> leadership <strong>of</strong> this group. I wish to<br />

publically thank Mr Simon Jaffe for his vision and passion over <strong>the</strong> past three years as <strong>the</strong><br />

Chairmain <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Parents and Friends committee. Thank you Simon, you have accomplished a<br />

great deal during this time.<br />

An election <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficers did occur at <strong>the</strong> AGM and I am pleased to announce that Paula Green and<br />

Kirsty Roby have been elcted Co-Chair <strong>of</strong> Parents and Friends for 2103. Sonya Eldridge was reelected<br />

Secretary and Denise Mitchell continues a Treasurer. I wish to thank <strong>the</strong> entire committee<br />

and congratulate <strong>the</strong> incoming <strong>of</strong>ficers.<br />

members will be missed greatly.<br />

In conclusion, I wish to note <strong>the</strong> wonderful contribution Mrs<br />

Cathy Warden has made to <strong>the</strong> life <strong>of</strong> Sunderland since it’s<br />

inception 2007. She has been instrumental in much <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

culture and traditions that Sunderland holds dear now. We<br />

wish her all <strong>the</strong> best in her new endeavours.<br />

I wish to also wish Miss Rebecca O’Donnell all <strong>the</strong> very best<br />

with her Spanish Educational Scholarship and her OE too.<br />

We held a special assembly this morning to farewell <strong>the</strong> Mrs<br />

Warden and Miss O’Donnell, students read poetry, gave<br />

flowers and <strong>the</strong>ir were loud House chants. Both <strong>the</strong>se staff<br />

Have a wonderful two weeks holiday and remember revision, revision, revision.<br />

Aspire. Succeed. Respect<br />

Quote <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Week - Perfection<br />

“One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> chief causes <strong>of</strong> procrastination is <strong>the</strong> desire to do something perfectly. Many tasks are<br />

never started because we do not think we have enough time at <strong>the</strong> moment to do <strong>the</strong>m perfectly.<br />

It would be nice if we could do everything perfectly and it certainly is important to do your best in any<br />

endeavour. However, just because something cannot be done perfectly does not mean you should<br />

not even start it.<br />

Do not worry about doing something perfectly. The important thing is just to get started and do it. You<br />

can always go back later to make changes and revisions. A job done less than perfectly is better than<br />

a job that never gets done”.—Ralph Marston<br />

Value <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Week - Creativity (Week One)<br />

Creative people push beyond, around, or through <strong>the</strong> walls that confine <strong>the</strong>m. Every problem is an<br />

opportunity; every obstacle is a challenge. A creative person looks at a challenge in <strong>the</strong> same way a<br />

mountain climber looks at a mountain. The higher and more difficult <strong>the</strong> climb, <strong>the</strong> greater <strong>the</strong><br />

opportunity to grow and greater <strong>the</strong> reward at <strong>the</strong> end.<br />

Creative people are constantly stretching, growing and learning. To stretch yourself, to challenge<br />

yourself is key to being creative. Think outside <strong>the</strong> square.<br />

“Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, <strong>the</strong> thinks you can think up if<br />

only you try” – Dr. Seuss<br />

The Term in brief:<br />

Leadership Camp Learning Extreme Sun Swimming Sports <br />

Athletics School Picnic Sails Dodgeball Sports SOS Service <br />

Homework Revision, revision, revision.<br />

This year started <strong>of</strong>f with a bang, getting straight into a great Term <strong>of</strong> learning. Our first House event,<br />

Swimming Sports, set <strong>the</strong> mood for <strong>the</strong> Term to come, with fantastic participation and fun had by all.<br />

With hardly a week in between, <strong>the</strong> House spirit was in full swing once again with Athletics Day producing a<br />

highly competitive yet supportive atmosphere, perfectly complemented by <strong>the</strong> warm, sunny wea<strong>the</strong>r. Both<br />

Primary and College got really involved and it was great to see everyone’s cheering <strong>the</strong>ir House on and<br />

participating.<br />

This Term our school sports teams have put in all <strong>the</strong>ir best efforts to produce some fantastic results. The<br />

stand-out being <strong>the</strong> Cricket Team coming first in <strong>the</strong>ir competition, Orienteering making it to <strong>the</strong> sprint finals,<br />

and Tomas Mendes making it to <strong>the</strong> Maddi Cup and coming fifteenth in New Zealand .<br />

This year’s Supersize Picnic was a great success, with a huge turnout and everyone enjoying <strong>the</strong> many<br />

activities put on. It was great to see <strong>the</strong> Primary and College getting into <strong>the</strong> activities and helping each o<strong>the</strong>r.<br />

A continuation <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> many House events has seen every House put forward <strong>the</strong>ir strongest players to<br />

compete in Dodgeball for <strong>the</strong> prestige <strong>of</strong> humiliating <strong>the</strong>ir teachers in a staff vs students game, hoping to<br />

continue <strong>the</strong> students lead <strong>of</strong> 2-0.<br />

The holidays are a time for review <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Term’s work in preparation for <strong>the</strong> Term Two mock examinations.<br />

Read your copy <strong>of</strong> ‘The Learning Journey’ and get stuck in!<br />

Dean’s Report<br />

It has been a long thirteen-week Term and very busy, filled with<br />

lots <strong>of</strong> activities and programmes for <strong>the</strong> children. We have such<br />

fantastic children at ACG Sunderland who have really worked hard<br />

this term, stayed focused on <strong>the</strong>ir work, and who have also shown<br />

values <strong>of</strong> respect and kindness to <strong>the</strong>ir friends.<br />

Our students have worked hard on PrEP (Primary Enterprise<br />

Program) and this culminated in a fantastic Market Day on Monday. Thank you to <strong>the</strong> busy mums<br />

and dads in our community who were able to make it to our Market Day. It was a great opportunity<br />

to have a look at and purchase some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> great products our students have made to help <strong>the</strong><br />

environment. All stalls sold out very quickly so you had to be fast to grab a bargain. The children<br />

have spent <strong>the</strong> week reflecting on <strong>the</strong>ir learning in Financial Literacy and <strong>the</strong> Primary staff hope to<br />

ascertain who was <strong>the</strong> most entrepreneurial!<br />

On 25 April, ANZAC Day all students <strong>of</strong> ACG Sunderland are invited to come along and march in<br />

<strong>the</strong> ANZAC parade, meeting at 8:45am at Swanson School to Swanson RSA. Please wear your<br />

winter uniform if you are able to come and look for me once you are <strong>the</strong>re. Don’t forget to bring a<br />

poppy!<br />

Over <strong>the</strong> holidays I know many students will be reviewing <strong>the</strong>ir work in preparation for <strong>the</strong> internal<br />

Science, Math and English examinations. These will be for Year Five and Six students in Week<br />

Five <strong>of</strong> Term Two. Students need to take <strong>the</strong> time to go over your notes and jot down any questions<br />

<strong>the</strong>y might have to ask <strong>the</strong> teacher on <strong>the</strong>ir return. Please also take a look at ‘The Learning<br />

Journey’ for study skills you may not be aware <strong>of</strong>.<br />

The College Production, ‘Kapow’ was a real treat on Wednesday and Thursday evening. Huge<br />

congratulations to <strong>the</strong> cast <strong>of</strong> students and <strong>the</strong> staff who worked hard to make it a success. Well<br />

done!<br />

I have been invited to <strong>the</strong> grand premier <strong>of</strong> “Up <strong>the</strong> Creek”; a stream restoration comedy directed by


Community Waitakere Staff member, Simon Grant. This video was filmed at <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> 2012 with<br />

some ACG Sunderland students and I will be first in line to purchase a DVD <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> film to share with<br />

<strong>the</strong> Primary. O<strong>the</strong>r groups who took part in <strong>the</strong> film were Wai Care staff, West Auckland Historical<br />

Society, Henderson Primary School and Flanshaw Road School. A special viewing will be held in<br />

early in Term Two for interested students.<br />

We finished <strong>the</strong> Term with our Citizen Assembly and I felt<br />

very proud looking at <strong>the</strong> students who were awarded this<br />

certificate. Pictured with Mr <strong>Villars</strong> is <strong>the</strong> group <strong>of</strong><br />

recipients, Benny, Jack, Oliver, Victoria, Amelia and Jake.<br />

Well done.<br />

Do not forget Book Week is week Two in Term Two and<br />

on Tuesday that week we will hold our Book Parade.<br />

Please come in that day wearing a costume <strong>of</strong> your<br />

favourite book character! Put your thinking caps on and<br />

be creative as our librarian, Mrs Davies, may have prizes to give out on <strong>the</strong> day!<br />

Have a safe and restful holiday.<br />

On Sunday, 14 April, an enthusiastic group <strong>of</strong> students (twenty-three Primary and three College)<br />

participated in <strong>the</strong> Weetbix TRYathlon, which was held on <strong>the</strong> North Shore.<br />

It was a fantastic day out and it was great to see everyone try <strong>the</strong>ir best! For many children, this<br />

was <strong>the</strong>ir first time competing in such an event and I know that from everyone’s smiles afterwards,<br />

A big thank you to Mandy Allen who helped me organise this<br />

Lastly, to every child who took part, I think you<br />

are all champions!!<br />

With <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r against us, we knew we had to dig deep to get a good placing at <strong>the</strong> Auckland<br />

Chapman, Rowan Hart and Harrison Ng.<br />

Ambury Park is a tough course and<br />

not very forgiving, Jayden smashed<br />

his arm on some rocks but kept<br />

running to <strong>the</strong> end, well done<br />

Jayden (we have since learnt that<br />

he has broken his arm and is in<br />

A great outcome from a great day.<br />
