Mangere College - 2018 1

The Principal's Report

2018 has been a

watershed year for

Māngere College with

changes in the staffroom,

an Education Review

Office report and some

significant visitors to the

school.

The year started off with us

welcoming 13 new teachers to the

school. This is a significant number

for us and meant a lot of change in

the staffroom. They each brought

a different level of experience

from first year teachers to very

experienced teachers and each

made a huge contribution during

the year.

One of our key areas to focus on

this year has been to improve our

teaching practice using a new

appraisal process and the Teachers

Council’s new professional standards

and code of conduct for teachers.

This work was reflected in a

comment that ERO made during

their visit when they said that a

strength of the school was “the

capability and dedication of the

teaching team who are open

to learning and committed to

improving professional practice.”

These two aspects - being open to

learning and improving practice

- are very important to me. In our

work: we all make mistakes and

perfection is an unrealistic goal

but we can always learn from our

experiences and strive to get better

in what we do each day.

Another important aspect of the

school that was commented on by

ERO is the environment that we

create for our students around the

school. ERO said that this strength is

the “inclusive and positive learning

and working environment where

students’ diverse languages, cultures

and identities are fostered and

their religions respected”. It is this

environment that our students need

and deserve to be able to learn

successfully and to achieve to their

potential.

This was the first ERO review during

my time at the school and it was

very rewarding to see the work that

we have been doing over the past

three years being recognised in

this way. As well as commenting

2 Mangere College - 2018

on the quality of the teaching

staff and the environment of the

school they also made reference to

these changes when they said “The

school’s leadership and strategic

change management processes

and practices, together with the

prioritising of Māori success and

student wellbeing, are effectively

contributing to achieving equity

and excellence and the acceleration

of learning.”

Of course they also pointed out

areas for improvement and the

most important of these for me

is the achievement of our Māori

students. We are not doing well

enough in this area as a school

and it is something that I am

committed to changing. This

school should be a place where all

students succeed and we need to

continue to work hard to ensure

that our results are equitable as well

as excellent.

At prizegiving this term we

announced our Student Leaders for

2019. This is an excellent group of

young people who are excited about

leading the school and having an

impact in the wider community as

well. So many of our students are

passionate about the society they

live in and particularly their local

community of Māngere. This was

particularly evident to me when

we hosted two politicians, the

Speaker of the House Trevor Mallard

and Minister Aupito William Sio,

to launch a virtual reality tour of

parliament. This gave our students

a chance to have their voices heard

by national politicians and to ask

questions of them. They certainly

expressed their views strongly.

Allowing students to have a voice

in the running of the school

through our different councils is an

ongoing focus for us at school. We

want to provide all students with

an opportunity to grow their own

leadership and develop into the

future leaders for our community.

We have continued to work

closely with our local schools in

our Community of Learning, the

Māngere Kahui Ako, which I am

proud to lead. We have a vision as

a group of schools of strengthening

education in the Māngere

community and of working together

for the benefit of our students. We

will see more positive outcomes

of this collaboration in the years to

come.

Of course the year has not been

without its difficulties and the loss

of a student and an ex student

during Term 3 was a real shock

to the school community and a

traumatic time for students and

staff. At Māngere College we talk

a lot about the importance of our

MC family and when you lose two

of your family it affects everyone.

What was important to me was

seeing the strength of the family to

pull together and overcome these

difficult times.

I was humbled by the strength and

resilience of our students and how

they supported each other and

I took pride in seeing the school

come together to face this together.

Our strength as a school is in the

community that we have and the

way that we can face difficult issues

together and support each other

through difficult times.

Haere rā e te piki kōtuku,

Hone Green

It is with great sadness

that the Māngere College

community has received

the news of the recent

passing of Matua Hone

Green in Opotiki, and

this deep loss cannot go

without acknowledgment.

Hone started at Māngere College

in 1972, the year the school was

officially opened, as an Assistant

Teacher in Social Studies, English,

Māori and Polynesian Studies. In

1973 he was appointed Head of the

Māori Department and in 1974, the

Dean of Form 3.

Hone was integral in establishing Te

Reo and Tikanga Māori at the school

and promoting it in the wider

community, as well as exposing

the students to a world outside

their own backyard. This resulted

in Te Reo being taught by Māori

students to Arahanga Intermediate

classes and at night school for the

community. The Māori Club went

on the road which took them to

Tongariro and Opotiki in 1974 and

the South Island in 1981.

Hone also played an important role

in setting up the Polynesian Club

which grew in numbers to 180

under his guidance and travelled

the North Island. In 1976, the

club gained 1st place in the first

ever Auckland Secondary Schools’

Polyfest at Hillary College and again

in 1977 when Māngere College was

the host school. At the time both

schools were acknowledged for their

leadership in multiculturalism.

Hone went on leave to complete

his University Studies in 1977,

returning in 1979. Then in 1988,

he left Māngere College to take

up the position of Principal at Nga

Tapuwae College.

In the 1977 magazine, the following

was written of Matua Hone Green:

‘His voice is seldom raised, he is

never seen posturing or gloomy

and there is no entry for ‘cruelty’

or ‘whining’ in his dictionary. His

strength is of an unassuming kind,

a blend of spirit and experience,

of being a good community man,

one who will take a microphone

without rehearsal and be the master

of ceremonies or a guitarist and join

the chorus. With equal willingness,

he will pick up a shovel and help

pour concrete into a neighbour’s

foundations, he is a man of two

cultures - a true New Zealander. ‘

Hone Green was a mighty figure,

a man of mana and quiet dignity.

When he spoke one felt compelled

to listen. He was one of the MC

greats and will be sorely missed. The

Māngere College family remembers

him with love and offers deepest

condolences to his whanau.

Nō reira e te matua, haere atu ki a

rātou kua taka i mua i a koe.

'Hone was

integral in

establishing

Te Reo and

Tikanga Māori

at the school

and promoting

it in the wider

community'


Ka kite anō au

L-R: Erica Wilson and Jocelyn Maitland

jocelyn

maitland

Jocelyn Maitland has

been the mainstay of the

Māngere College office for

almost 40 years.

In that time she has worked

alongside five principals, including

the founding principal, Ivan

Armstrong, and supported countless

staff members and students.

They have all benefitted from her

dedication and diligence.

Jocelyn’s responsibilities have

been many and varied –performing

secretarial duties for the principal

and others, as well as making sure

that students were outfitted in the

MC uniform, operating the school

stationery shop, managing the piles

of photocopying staff required,

completing administrative tasks

for the Board, collecting money for

various activities, organising the

management of the school vans -

the list could go on and on.

Jocelyn has been essential to

the smooth running of the office

and the school. Her superb

organisational skills and super

efficiency have meant that she was

always one step ahead of us and

those who hadn’t followed proper

procedures knew that Jocelyn will

always catch us out.

Efficient she may be but Jocelyn

has a lighter side as well. When

there are gales of laughter

emanating from the office we knew

that she was probably the instigator

of the hilarity. Jocelyn is also the

fountain of knowledge of just about

every sport you could mention and

Melbourne Cup Day would not have

been the same without her.

Jocelyn will be greatly missed. It

is the end of an era for Māngere

College. We thank her most

sincerely for her dedication and

commitment to the college, its’ staff

and students.

erica wilson

After a wide variety of

teaching experiences

including that of visiting

teacher, Erica Wilson

joined the staff at

Māngere College in 1997

as Guidance Counsellor.

In 1999 she was instrumental in

setting up the Achievement Centre

at Māngere College, one of few

Alternative Education Centres that

operate from within a school setting

and which has since been held up

as a model for other such ventures

in the community.

It is due to Erica’s vision and

leadership as Manager of the

Achievement Centre that many

young people have been able to

re-enter mainstream education

and realise their potential. She

has created a welcoming and safe

environment there where students

can work independently as well

as take part in scheduled classes

for their year level. The centre

epitomises the concept of the MC

family.

For the work she did with students

and families of the Achievement

Centre at MC, Erica received a Local

Hero Award in 2017 as part of he

Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year

Awards.

Not only have students benefitted

from Erica’s care and expertise

but also staff, who have valued

her support, wise advice and good

humour.

We thank Erica and offer her our

best wishes as she leaves MC and

look forward to hearing about her

travels and adventures.

For 19 years, Walter Brown served our school as the Community

Liaison Officer.

He helped bridge the gap between school and home for students and

parents alike. If not seen, one could hear Walter playing his Cook Island

drums either in the staffroom or in his office. He was such a valued member

of staff that he was allowed to have his very own carpark space, complete

with bright orange cones.

Mr Brown is now happily enjoying his retirement

Kathryn Barclay left Māngere College during term 1 – she has been

the school guidance counsellor and lead

the Student Services team for the last 11 years.

Kathryn was instrumental in setting up the It’s Not OK – saying no to family

violence campaign that the school has been involved with over the last five

years. She has supported many of our students during her time here. Kathryn

has moved to a lecturing position in the counselling degree at the Manukau

Institute of Technology.

We say farewell to Heather, our Nurse who worked at MC for 10

years.

Heather enjoyed being able to share in the lives of the young people and she

also loved being part of the MC family.

She is now working as a Clinical Nurse Specialist Youth Health at Counties

Manukau Health. Heather’s new role involves supporting school nurses who

work in school-based health care in South Auckland.

We say farewell to Thomas Pearson, Music teacher who worked at

Māngere College for almost 7 years.

We would like to thank him for his work promoting music and musicianship

at MC and for his involvement behind the sound boards at Performing Arts

events. Thomas leaves us to live and work on the North Island’s sunny East

Coast.

Fiona is leaving MC after being here for 4 years as a school Nurse.

fiona

fouche

She is sad to leave but has enjoyed being part of the supportive and caring

MC family. Fiona has loved working with the students and feels privileged to

be a small part of their MC experience.

She is moving to an eye correction clinic in Mt Wellington.

chantal

cullinane

Chantal Cullinane has worked at Māngere College for the last 3

years as one of the part time Registered Nurses in the Health Clinic.

She left at the beginning of term 2 to take up a nursing position at Wesley

College. She was a much appreciated member of our nursing team and we

wish her well for the future.

piri

tamihana

rowena

o’neil

Piri Tamihana came to Māngere College as a temporary specialised

teacher aide mid-year in 2015.

He coached the 2nd XV rugby boys in 2016 before turning his attention to

the 1st XV. Two weeks into term 2, he decided to put his young daughters

first and bid farewell to full-time teacher aiding. His encouraging words

towards students and staff alike will be missed.

Rowena O’Neil finished as our Operations Manager in February to

move to Canterbury to be closer to her family.

Despite only being in the role for a short time Rowena made a significant

contribution to the school, helping with the day to day running and

improving systems to make it easier for teachers to do their jobs.


Head Boy's Report

First of all, I would like to

give praise to our Heavenly

Father for his continued

love and guidance

throughout this year

and our many years of

education. 2018 is slowly

coming to an end and

what a year it has been.

As year 9s, we arrived at Māngere

College with different backgrounds

and different life experiences. It

took some of us time to warm to

each other but the years of ups and

downs, tears and laughter, good

times and bad have brought us

closer. And now we have made it,

together as ‘family’.

While at MC, we have gained

new experiences and expanded

our learning capacity. We have

strengthened old friendships and

forged new friendships.

We have shared many moments

this year, like during Polyfest where

we demonstrated our love and

passion for our own cultures and the

cultures of others.

In our sports teams: Volleyball,

Soccer, Netball, Touch, Tag, Rugby

etc - win or lose - we remained

humble and grateful.

I will miss the school atmosphere,

the feeling of being at home when

you walk through those gates and

the diversity of culture which is like

no other.

Next year some of you will move

up to Year 12 and embark on your

second year of NCEA doing Level 2,

where things will get more difficult

than they are now. Others of you will

be moving up to Year 13 and your

final year in high school, where the

staff and younger students will look

to you, to help lead the school.

After we leave school, we are free to

do what we want with our lives and

to make our mark on this world. This

‘...the feeling of

being at home

when you walk

through those

gates...’

is what our 13 years of school have

been preparing us for.

I commend those who have worked

hard, stayed on task and have

consistently been focused on their

learning till the end, in spite of the

obstacles. I especially congratulate

those whose outstanding efforts

were recognised during our prize

giving. You should be proud of

yourselves.

I thank the Māngere College

teachers and staff for their patience

and support over the years.

Thank you for giving up your spare

time and pushing us to achieve the

best we could.

All of you have played a positive part

in our education and our growth

these past few years.

There is nothing we can say or do

that will appropriately show our

gratitude for all you have done but

I hope you realise how much we

appreciate you.

To you, our parents and caregivers,

without whose wise words,

dedication and provision, have

helped us to make it to the end of

Year 13, I say thank you.

On behalf of the student body,

I honour you all for the love and

guidance you have given us.

And now my brothers and sisters of

MC, thank you all for the memories

and strong friendships we have built

and for a fun and exciting few years.

It has been worth it.

I am grateful to have spent these

five years with you and I hope our

paths will cross again.

I hope all of the seniors do well

in their exams and whatever you

choose to do next year.

I have so much love and respect for

you all.

When we walk out those gates, I

ask you all to go out and make your

presence felt in the world.

Do what you love and love what you

do.

Remain hungry, remain humble,

remain grateful and continue to

seek the heights!

‘Let your beauty in our cultural traditions and costumes

define who you are and where you come from.’

Kia Orana and warm greetings from

the Māngere College Cook Islands

Polyfest Group 2018.

Māngere College Cook Islands

group started this Polyfest year

with humility and ended with an

awesome win.

A very organized cultural committee

consisted of families who were

supportive, dedicated and loving.

Through their commitment and

long nights, they raised enough

funds to ensure we had amazing

costumes.

We were the overall winners

at Polyfest 2018 Competitive

Section for the Cook Islands

stage again!

It was the first time in Polyfest

history for our MC Cook

Islands group to win all of

these prizes which was very

humbling.

We were also

privileged to

perform at the

Cook Islands Village for

Pacifica, and as a result

for winning the

Costume section,

our Costume Team

were lucky to get the

Display Hut- Fare

Pora to showcase our

winning costumes

and Arts and Crafts.

We would like to

extend our sincere

gratitude to the Cook Islands Village

Co-ordinator Bernard Tairea for

giving us this wonderful opportunity.

Finally, I praise God for his many

blessings, our students and teacher

in charge Tai Uamaki of MC for your

patience and resilience. We wish our

year 13’s the very best for your future

endeavours, our team, our family

and friends for your

never-ending love

and support

through the

composition,

choreography,

costumes

and financial

assistance in

whatever way big

or small Meitaki

without each and

every one of you

this journey would

not have been as

successful.

ASB Polyfest is a big part of Māngere

College, many cultures are involved

in this festival.

I am Rehia Patuwai a Year 12 Māori

Student here at Māngere College.

I have participated in Polyfest for

3 years now. Polyfest has changed

throughout the years. Polyfest is a

competition which encourages you

to be the best at what you do.

From my perspective, Polyfest is

a festival that brings all cultures

together, to laugh, to cry and to

enjoy performances.

It is an opportunity for friends

and families to witness the hard

work that performers put into

the performances. As a performer

it’s inspirational, it gives me an

opportunity to show my family

who I am and it gives me a chance

to show people how much I love

kapa haka, my culture and how

much I want to make my whanau

proud.

This year our kapa haka was mostly

year 9 and I am so proud of them.

Our kapa performed on the stage

in front of many, representing MC,

and enjoyed themselves. That’s the

best part about it. So I encourage

all to join the kapa next year to

experience standing on the kapa

haka stage at Polyfest a part of the

MC ropu.

- Rehia Patuwai

Niuean Group

The Māngere College

Niuean Group was a

success.

It was a hard year for me. Not only

because we almost didn’t have a

group, but because it was very hard

to take the role of being a leader

because I had other responsibilities.

Other than that, I still got a group

together to compete in Polyfest

2018.

Throughout our rehearsals, it was a

relief to see how many people were

committed to our group and I loved

how much passion, love, and energy

the students had for the culture.

Picking our leaders for this group

was a hard decision but at the end, I

chose Hannah-Lily Tohilima-Franklin

because I saw how much love she

had for her culture, and seeing her

take charge of everyone made me

want to make her a leader because I

needed someone bossy. She is also a

good leader in other areas of school

so I was confident with her being a

leader for our group.

Coming to the last week of practices

it was emotional knowing all our

hard work is coming to an end, and

it was a blessing to see what we had


achieved in the short time we had

together. Our last run through our

performance was the best I’ve seen.

All I saw was hard work from all

students.

The morning of Polyfest we all had

to be at school before 6:30 am, I

was glad to see our performers up

and ready looking really amazing.

Just being together that morning

was an experience I’ll never forget.

Seeing everyone encouraging each

other saying it’s going to be alright

or just hyping everyone up was a

big highlight for me. The dances we

performed were; Entrance, Ta Me

(Action Song), Meke, Lologo Tapu

(Church hymn), Takalo (War Dance)

and Exit. Every dance we did was

done to the highest standard. I

can’t explain how proud I am to be

a part of the Māngere College Niue

group. All the blood, sweat and tears

that had gone into rehearsing just

for that one day was all worth it in

the end.

Thank you to all the tutors;

Rissa Polima-Tapatau, Kaleb Samoa,

Luke Maiko, Tearataua Taviona, Pila

Kolonga, and to all the teachers incharge;

Mike Darraugh, Sally Haye,

Deb Ward and Aisake Tuitupou.

le mamalu o Samoa. First and

foremost, I would like to give thanks

to our Heavenly Father for his

everlasting love, support

and guidance throughout

our Samoan group 2018.

The theme for Polyfest this

year was ‘Thread the fibres

of humanity, Thread the

fibres of spiritual wellbeing,

Bind together

the essence of cultural

identity, Weave together

the diversity of cultural

awareness.’ ‘Feso’ota’i

i le tino, Feso’ota’i i

le agaga, Maua’a i

lou fa’asinomaga,

Lalaga i le matagofie

o aganu’u eseese.’

This represented who

we are as people and

defines our culture and

heritage.

Our Samoan group went through

the same process as previous years.

We started with trials that were held

in the auditorium. Each student

chooses what to perform whether it

be singing a song, doing a dance or

both, but in the Samoan language

or culture.

Our group this year was blessed

with intelligent and passionate

tutors who sacrificed precious

time for our benefit: Iulia Ioane,

Melania Agaimalo, Siata Ah-Chong,

Musuiaigaatoa Tapu, Numia

Toomata, Clarence Soti and Mike

Pio, who worked alongside our loyal

and dedicated teachers Mr Fesulua’i,

Mrs Smith, Ms Nu’usavili and Mrs

Ah Sam. We are very grateful for

their continuous support and

management leading up to Polyfest

2018.

The Samoan group was also under

the leadership of Jane Malau’ulu,

Jasmine Strickland, Esther Meleke,

Holly Rapana, Sesiona Faamausili,

Hannah Pio, Tai Perez, Paul Lesoa,

Italy Nglam and Ezra Salu.

On the third week of school, we

started rehearsals. Beforehand, we

would always start with a greeting

and prayer. For the first few days

when practices started, the leaders

had to come up with moves for

the Sasa due to not knowing if the

tutors were going to turn up to


practices for the first few weeks.

Luckily our leaders had come up

with a few moves to get the group

started on something instead of

waiting for our tutors to show up.

Practices from Monday to Friday

went from 3:40 pm to 06:00 pm.

On Saturdays, it was from 10:00 am

onwards.

As weeks went by practices started

getting more challenging. Students

were starting to feel the pressure

from the tutors and teachers

were being more strict than

usual, especially when it came to

polishing our performance from

the beginning to end. During these

tough practices, we learned our

Ulufale (entrance), Ma’ulu’ulu, Sasa,

Pese (songs), Taualuga (final dance),

Ulufafo (exit) and finally perfecting

our transitions on the way.

Lunchtime practices were organised

to help those who were lost and

slow on learning moves or the lyrics

to the songs. Students knew they

had to sacrifice free time and study

hours to practice in order for the

whole group to look like one and to

be ready for when that special day

comes. The intensity of practices

lifted even more as students and

tutors felt the performance drawing

near. Although emotions were

running high, we managed to

remain strong and continued to

push and encourage each other

to overcome these barriers we

encountered through our journey.

The day we had prepared and

practised for finally arrived. Nerves

and butterflies were a common

feeling backstage. We were all

scared and terrified but no emotions

could ever beat how nervous we

all were being the sixth school to

perform on Friday morning, 16th

March 2018 in front of hundreds of

people in the crowd. As we walked

up that stage, everyone knew it

was either give it your all or go

home with regrets. That day we

performed with all our hearts. We

sang till you could barely hear our

voices and dance like there was no

tomorrow. That day we performed

like a family and we left the stage

as brothers and sisters. We walked

off that stage as one. We left the

stage smiling proudly due to the

excitement within us and knowing

that we had performed to the best

of our abilities. Saturday 17th March

2018 we anxiously waited for the

results. Our prayers were finally

answered and we were blessed with

numerous placings in the categories.

This year may have not been

the year we took it out, but in

appreciation, we all agree that this

year was also another successful year

for the Māngere College Samoan

group. This year will be the last time

the year 13s will ever experience

the feeling of preparing for Polyfest

and performing on the Samoan

stage. But what I can say is that we

year 13s will leave with our heads

held high knowing that we have

accomplished our duties as not only

year 13s but also as leaders and that

we will continue to embrace the

Samoan culture.

Through sweat and tears, hard work

and determination, commitment

and sacrifices we have made, we

know that we have left behind a

positive, open-minded and loving

atmosphere for the future MC

Samoan Polyfest groups.

No words can explain how thankful

and appreciative we are to not only

the members of this year’s group

but also to our hardworking tutors

and teachers. We are grateful for

their continuous support, words

of wisdom and their never-ending

love for our group. A special

acknowledgement to our leadership

team and well-done on the effort

you all put in. We leave Māngere

College’s future Samoan group with

a little advice: “There will be times

where it will become too much

for you and you will feel like giving

up due to the pressure. You have a

leadership team for a reason. They

are there to help you, they are a

shoulder for you to lean on when

you need support. Never give up no

matter what because at the end of

the day it’s not just ‘I OR ME’ it’s ‘WE

AS A TEAM.” We wish you all the

best of luck and always remember:

“WE CREATE A BOND, WE CREATE

A FAMILY, TOGETHER WE WILL

SEEK THE HEIGHTS, TO STRIVE

AND ACHIEVE EXCELLENCE IN

EVERYTHING WE DO”

Refugee Activities

REFUGEE OLYMPIC DAY

On Tuesday the 19th of

June, some other refugee

students from Māngere

College and I went to the

Henderson Trust Stadium

to play some sports.

It was Refugee Olympics Day so we

all played a lot of different sports

like basketball, hockey, and football.

Some other students from Mixit

prepared a dance. We all really

enjoyed and it was fun playing

sports and making new refugee

friends from other schools.

REFUGEE

CAREERS

DINNER

A great night was had by

all at the Refugee Careers

Dinner.

This is the third year that we have

held this event at school and it

has been well received by families

and friends. Providers from AUT,

University of Auckland and MIT

came and informed us about

opportunities and scholarships

at their tertiary institutes. Former

students came and Ilham Akhlaqi

spoke about her first year at AUT.

We also had an inspiring guest

speaker who spoke about

overcoming barriers to achieve in

education.


We sold apples for 50 cents, and

the sandwiches were sold for $1.

We did a fantastic job and we are

doing this because we are trying to

help people in the Pacific Islands

who had their homes damaged by

Cyclone Gita and also new refugees

in New Zealand to buy tools for

their gardens at home. This will

help the families stay healthy and

safe including the new refugees in

Auckland.

RED CROSS

FUNDRAISER

On Wednesday the 21st

of February at Māngere

College we made

sandwiches at lunchtime

for the students at school.

Firstly we spread the butter on the

bread and the sandwiches had

tomato, lettuce, sliced cucumber,

grated carrot and cheese on them.

We sliced the tomato and the

lettuce. We had to cut the lettuce

small so we could make it equal for

everyone.

Refugees are important to Red Cross

and to everyone in our fundraising

team. We were helping them and

we needed MC students to help. I

thought to myself, ‘please, people

come and help make a difference’.

I was glad that we made $30 on the

first day, but we needed to make

more. The refugees were going to be

so happy when we could give them

the garden tools.

We did this for three days, and we

raised $129 by the end of it. It was

good to see students supporting

this fundraising event. We needed

everyone’s help and we are the MC

Family so we were able to ‘Seek The

Heights’ and help refugees to be

healthy at home.

AUT MENTORING

Fortunately, I have been involved in the AUT mentoring programme for the last two

years, and I had a mentor who guided and helped me prepare for school assessments,

goal setting and have better control on my career.

Having the guidance,

encouragement and support of a

trusted and experienced mentor

provided me a broad range of

benefits, which ultimately lead to

improve my performance in my

assessments and exams. In addition,


this programme helped me improve

my communication skills and

self confidence. This programme

provided an opportunity to be

challenged, supported, explore my

career options and plan for future

actions. I was very grateful to be

involved in this programme and

would like to continue with it next

year as I benefited a lot from it.

DUKE OF

Edinburgh’s

HILLARY AWARD

The Duke of Edinburgh is a

youth awards programme

that recognises

adolescents and young

adults for completing a

series of self-improvement

exercises.

It challenges young people to

dream big and discover their

potential. In the programme there

are three levels; Bronze being the

first, Silver being the second and

Gold being the last.

We had 18 students participating in

the Duke of Edinburgh programme

this year. We were doing the bronze

award that takes a total of six

months to complete. The goals for

the award were to learn a new skill

(or develop an existing one), get

physically active, give service to their

communities, and take part in an

adventure.

The aim of the Duke of Edinburgh

Award is to help challenge young

students to leave their comfort

zones. It helped us build confidence

in ourselves and have greater

resilience.

The most exciting part of the

award was going on an adventure

where we had to walk up to the

Pinnacles Hut in the Kauaeranga

Valley, located all the way in the

Coromandel. We learnt about the

important equipment we had to

take, the clothing and shoes we had

to wear in certain environments and

where we were going to walk.

The walk turned out to be more

exciting once we started the hike.

It took three to four hours to get to

our destination.

These 14 students have

completed the bronze

section of the Duke of

Edinburgh award:

On the first day of the hike,

there were a lot of stairs which

made the walk harder and more

challenging, but with the support

and encouragement from the Duke

of Edinburgh team, we all managed

to keep going. The place we stayed

in was a bit cold and we had to

eat from already packaged food.

Although it was challenging and

hard, we all pulled through and

came out of our comfort zone.

After that experience, I learnt how

to survive in certain environments

and how to read a map. Personally, I

also learnt what difficult things my

body can take and how self-esteem

can really help me in challenging

situations in life.

Well done to everyone who

completed this award and who

committed to the adventure. Also a

big thank you to the teachers and

staff who organised this opportunity

for us. Thank you very much.

Library

Author Helen Tau’au Filisi

The school library plays a

huge role in our school. It

is integral to the teaching

and learning process.

This year has been another

amazing, yet successful year for our

phenomenal student librarians.

We have had more and more

students wanting to become

librarians. Our collaborative student

librarian group works alongside

Mrs. Kumar and Ms. Blackwood

to ensure that all members of the

school have equitable access to

books, computers, equipment,

research materials and a safe

learning environment. All librarians

are rostered on once a week to

complete duties, either sitting

behind the issue desk, clearing and

shelving books, being in charge of

the workroom or serving our peers

who need assistance.

Throughout this year our library

has been a happy, busy place with

many events such as celebrating

the cultural language weeks. For

Samoan Language Week, Mrs

Kumar dressed our mannequins in

beautiful Samoan attire to showcase

the traditional costumes as well as

setting out display books to capture

student interest in learning about

the different cultures and languages.

This happens for all other language

weeks including Tongan, Cook Island

and Māori. During lunchtimes the

library runs cultural activities.

For Māori Language Week, students

came in and made poi. This helps

engage students to participate in

celebrating the importance of the

diverse cultures in our school.

During Samoan Language Week

the library hosted a special author

visit. We were fortunate enough

to have author Helen Tau’au Filisi

and Samoan Translator Tofilau Fritz

Filisi visit with their inspiring and

informative talk.

Every year the library is responsible

for supporting and helping to

raise money for cancer awareness.

Librarians come in the morning to

sell daffodils around the school for

Daffodil Day. This year we raised

$430.00.

The library is always a welcoming

place for everyone. Each year we

have our Intermediate students

from schools such as Viscount, Koru,

Sir Douglas Bader, Robertson Road

and Māngere Central come in each

day to experience the astounding

environment and opportunities

Māngere College has to offer for

their up and coming journey into

secondary school. It was great to see

the intermediate students surprised

to see the variety of books that our

library can offer.

Being a student librarian is fun and

enjoyable. We have the opportunity

to gain responsibility, develop our

work ethic and confidence to help

and provide a library service for our

peers and school community. It has

been a great year and I’m sure the

library team has many more great

things planned for our library in the

new year.

Sports Council

The Sports Council

consists of an active group

of students where we

work together to identify

several areas in which to

make a difference in the

school.

The role of the Sports Council is

to assist in the delivery of sport

within Māngere College to enable

all students to access a high quality

sporting experience.

I believe that we have helped create

a successful sporting environment

at Māngere College this year, which

encouraged student participation,

achievement and enjoyment while

fostering community involvement.

Towards the end of term 2, we

organised a project where the

school has been generously donated

over 25 pairs of rugby boots for the

rugby season by Best Foot Forward

(a partnership with BNZ and Blues

Rugby). The boots definitely allowed

more students to play more rugby

and made it easier for those who

didn’t necessarily have a pair of their

own. It was a fruitful event where

we had three rugby players from the

Blues team including ex MC student

Ofa Tu’ungafasi among the guest

speakers, with a lot of questions

answered and many were inspired.

In term 3, we worked alongside the

Student Council to run a fun filled

action packed week of sports in the

school and it was a whole school

event. Each of us were allocated

jobs to do, as well as being given

the role of organising a sport each

day with the assistance of the team.

There were activities across every

interval and lunchtime as well as

competitions, quizzes and staff

vs students events. Overall, with

great teamwork and better student

participation each day, we were able

to raise over $400 for World Vision.

We also helped with the

organisation and running of a

Sports Awards evening where we

recognised and celebrated along

with students who were outstanding

in their sports performances.

Student Council

This year the Māngere College Student Council has been doing a lot to be as active as

possible around the school and the community.

One of our biggest events was the

Worldvision Sports Week we held

here at MC for both teachers and

students to enjoy.

During the course of Term 2 we

started planning how to fundraise.

Everyone had great ideas and we

all came to the conclusion that

we would host a sports week with

one of the days being a Teacher vs

Student game day.

During the rest of term 2 the

Student Council teamed up with

the Sports Council to work out the

details of what sports we wanted

and when we should have the sports

week.

In the beginning the Student

Council was divided into small

groups that would lead different

‘One of our

biggest events

was the

Worldvision

Sports Week...’

parts of the project; such as

advertising and fundraising.

The Sports Day was a great success,

with both students and teachers

actively competing.

2018 has been a great year for

the Student Council and we have

managed to accomplish a lot in the

course of a year.

I would also like to take mention

of the 2 teachers in charge of the

Student Council, Ms. Ward and Mr.

Earl who have been great advisors

and great mentors in helping with

the Student Council.

Thank you all for a terrific year

and let’s make sure 2019 is even

better and from everyone on the

Student Council thank you and

may everyone have a very Merry

Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Health Council

Māngere College Health

Council is a committed

team of students which

aim to provide a voice

for students promoting

decisions and projects

that affect the health

and well-being of our

community.

Our Health Council is made up

of junior and senior students

who advocate on behalf of other

students. The Student Health

Council forms key relationships

with organisations such as Healthy

Families and Youthline.

A key initiative with Healthy Families

this year was promoting the school

as a water-only school. The Health

Council students design the MC

water bottle with the statement

‘H2O is the way to go’ to encourage

students to drink more water at

school.

‘A key

initiative

with Healthy

Families this

year was

promoting

the school

as a

school.’

We also run free breakfast during

interval on Mondays and Thursdays

at Student Services. All students

are welcome to come and enjoy

breakfast and socialise with other

students.


Cee-Jay’s

Hawaiian

experience

O’ahu,

Hawaii

A lot of people think of Hawaii as a

holiday destination, but for a first-timer

in Hawaii it was overwhelming seeing

the state that place is in.

One small village had the same population as New

Zealand living there. Being an ambassador for the Sea

Cleaner’s association taught me about the terrible

state that Hawaii is in.

In one week we collected 4.1 million tonnes of rubbish.

The currents in Hawaii are very strong which means

that rubbish will be washed ashore. Students in local

schools and teachers did not know that they had such

a tragedy. Our mission was to make a change, and I

think a lot of people will make changes in their lives,

It was Cee-Jay’s cleaning up at her local area of Ihumatao

which helped her get noticed by Sea Cleaners.

Photo: Stuff

not knowing that it impacts a lot of other people who

see the actions they take.

I came away from Hawaii with a strong purpose to raise

awareness here in Auckland, New Zealand. I just want to

say a special thanks to the many supporters in and out

of school and especially to Sea Cleaners and Makaurau

Marae.

Brainwave is a charitable

trust who educates

students, parents and

professionals about

brain development from

conception through

the early years and into

adolescence.

Brainwave

Workshops

A child’s brain grows more in

their first few years than it will

at any other time in their life; we

understand very clearly that early

experiences can help set up strong

or fragile foundations for later

learning, behaviour and health.

Adolescence is also a time for

significant brain development.

All Brainwave programmes are

backed up by solid science and

research and delivered at Māngere

College by two educators; a teacher

and a paediatric nurse with over 30

years’ experience.

Many students have younger

siblings; some are beginning to

babysit. Many will be the parents

of the future. The knowledge that

they absorb through this engaging,

interactive programme is very

empowering. Each and every one of

them can make a real difference.

Ask your son or daughter what they

have learned. And please visit the

website for more information:

www.brainwave.org.nz

Feedback

from some Māngere College students:

Very important

for future

generations to

live a happy and

healthy life.

This programme

has made a huge

difference to me.

It was good

because it made

me think about

how I can take care

of my own brain.

It has made me

more aware of how

fragile a baby is.

I loved this

experience and

didn’t want it to

end.


Pacific Islands

Leaders of Tomorrow

This term, some of our

Year 11 students were

selected to represent

our school at the P.I.L.O.T

(Pacific Islands Leaders of

Tomorrow) programme

held at Ignite College, Wiri.

Around 100 students participated

from several neighbouring South

Auckland schools.

This was a great opportunity for

these MC Year 11 students to

reconnect and build on their

confidence and understand what

their strengths are. There are many

ways to navigate ‘the ocean’ for

students to build on their identity

and resilience and to explore the

ocean currents navigate the fickle

winds, traverse changing tides and

to follow the plethora of secret

pathways hidden in the stars.

Well done to ‘Etina Kaliopasi,

‘Unaloto Leleifi, Diana Pio, Aaron

This year, the partnership

between Māngere College

and TOKO Collaboration

Charitable Trust together

hosted Toko Peau #4

event at Māngere College

on Friday 31 August 2018.

'Supporting Wellbeing'

The evening was a celebration of life

and TAUTOKO HAUORA (supporting

well-being). Once again there was

a display of art work from Māngere

College students. Guest speakers

included former MC students Dr

Ana Justine Mesui, Salome Wright,

Ernestina Maro, and Mary Aue.

Amongst the performers at Toko

Peau were the MC Kapahaka

group, former MC student Romeny

Kids with Character

In Kids with Character,

we are developing

leadership skills and

growing our confidence

as individuals.

This group is lead by Simon

Kent who works for the iSport

Foundation. During our time with

Kids with Character we have class

sessions which teach us how to be

a leader for tomorrow, we discuss

our plans for the future and our

careers.

We also attended an iSport

Foundation Leadership Day where

we listened and learnt from sporting

leaders such as Louisa Wall, Fiao’o

Faamausili, David Letele, Mike

McGuire, Richie McCaw, and others.

David Letele (aka The Brown Butta

Bean) shared his story and taught

us not to let excuses get in the way

of us achieving great things, and

most of the speakers taught us

the importance of making good

choices and how that helped

them be successful.

The Kids with Character group is

helping us gain confidence and

the ability to face problems headon

and solve them efficiently.

Some of our Year 12 Business students at the ‘Business is Awesome’ workshop

Commerce Department

This year has been an exciting year for the Commerce Department.

In Term 1, our Year 12 Business

students were given the opportunity

to attend a workshop organised by

the Rotary Club called ‘Business is

Awesome’.

Ten Year 12 students took part in

a whole day workshop where they

were grouped with students from

other schools. This gave our students

exposure to working with other

students to come up with an idea

for making a product, marketing it

and finally selling it. At the end of

the day, the winning team included

our students, Taylah Robinson and

Adrienne Lavea.

commerce trip to wellington

The Wellington Trip was

full of learning experiences

for our senior students.

We flew to Wellington and for a

few of our students, it was their

first flight ever. We stayed in a

hotel, and for many that was

also a new experience. For most

students, it was also their first

time visiting Wellington. During

the trip, we visited the Reserve

Bank and learnt how and where

money is manufactured, how

money works in the market, the

OCR and interest rates. We also

visited Parliament House, sat in

the debating chamber and saw

questions and answers debated.

We also visited Te Papa museum

and students had the freedom

to see the museum at their own

pace. They enjoyed Peter Jackson’s

wartime display. Lastly, we had

a city tour and students also did

some shopping.

rainbows End

adventure

Our Year 11 Business

students went to

Rainbow’s End.

This trip was based on their

assessment about Human

Resources. They did some research

work first and then spent the rest

of the day on rides and other fun

activities.


Young

Enterprise

Scheme

This year we had some very exciting business

ventures and products. The businesses developed

by students were all a great success.

‘manea aqua’

group

One business group

with the company name

‘Manea Aqua’ worked with

Auckland City Council and

created a fish habitat for

Tararata Stream which is

located near our school.

Students created a fish habitat from recycled

pallets and used cement slabs. They sold each

habitat to Auckland City Council for $150.

They also got $100 from SEED Funding for

their excellent performance in presenting their

business idea (called a ‘pitch’).

Selling their product at the Night Market at

Manurewa High School are Daisy, Lydia, Samira

and Hannah.

‘DHLS’ Group

DHLS had 6 members in

their group. They created

neck warmers from travel

pillows. Auckland Airport

collects all of the travel

pillows that tourists leave

behind at the airport.

They are collected by ‘ME Family

Services’ and Peter Sykes who is the

CEO of the company and also one of

our mentors who provided us with

used travel pillows.

The students altered the product

and developed neck warmers from

them. They used their own cultural

patterned material and made covers

for the neck warmers. They then

created their own wheat bags and

attached them to the neck warmers.

Year 11 & 12

market days

Students successfully

undertook their market day.

They learnt how to make a business

plan and carry out business

activities. They carried out their

own survey of the product and

analysed it. They also learnt how to

carry out the market day with full

responsibility and independence

as well as working as a group. Over

the year students carried out two

business activities and made profits

for their business. They were able to

donate part of their profits. Year 11

also did their market day and made

profits.

I wish all my year 13 students best

of luck and hope that they have

bright and fruitful futures.

Her Husbands Betrayal

Ice balls fall from the

mountaintop as the wind

lifts strands of her hair.

At this very moment, she’s standing

alone thinking about how wonderful

and remarkable this life can be.

Her red heels duplicate the colour

painted on her lips and attracts the

attention of her black Adidas t-shirt.

Her ripped jeans favour the public’s

tastes and her smile is brighter than

the stars in the sky. Her cosy coat

delivers more comfort and wraps

her warm from the bristling wind.

People see her as Rapunzel, not

because of some evil stepmother,

or because she was trapped up in

a castle but because of the long

glowing hair that brings out the

beauty in her. Her eyes turn lighter

brown when it attracts the sun, until

one night when she was just freely

walking to her house she witnessed

a scandalous matter!

DUM...DUM...DUM... “WHO’S this?”

“What is she doing with my

HUSBAND?” “Why is she HERE ?”

Difficult questions trace through

her head as she drowns in a sea of

grief. Her face fills with hate and

torture; she can’t think but to be the

bystander in this cruel view. Why?

Why? How can someone who vowed

will spend the rest of his years with

her do something so horrible and

disgusting?! She wipes the pain

and tears off her face and stumbles

down the stairs.

She packs everything and puts all

her clothes in a suitcase, and as she

walks to the door, her husband runs

to grab her. She drops the suitcase

and the room abruptly turns quiet,

he loosens his hand a bit, but this

time she throws her emotion into

his face before she left without a

word or sound. As she drove away,

her husband screams out her name

with so much anger and contrite.

The man she thought she loved

turned out to be the monster in her

dreams.

About a month later, she’s living at

her best friend’s house. She’s in the

process of trying to forget the past

and move on, but the pain always

hits her.

‘Her cosy coat

delivers more

comfort and

wraps her

warm from

the bristling

wind.’

This hurt that she is carrying is

so remorseful she can’t bear this

burden. She feels abandoned and

deceived from what’s happened,

that a girl who people thought was

so perfect and so beautiful would

end up to be the one who suffers.

After several years, she is now

enjoying life with her best friend;

she is trying to forgive herself for the

blindness that let others betray her

because sometimes a good heart

cannot see the bad. She smiles

through the pain and suffering but

she will never forget that life is like

a bicycle, to keep your balance you

must keep moving on.

Poet Laureate for 2017-

2019.

In her poem, Fast Talkin’ PI, she

writes about the different ‘faces’ of

Pacific Island people; some may

not be too good but many are

quite amazing. She challenges the

stereotypes that influence how PI

are perceived and treated in society.

She wants everyone to know that PIs

do NOT fit into a box any more than

other ethnic groups.

Te Reo Māori

Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2018

Tēnā rā koutou katoa.

I tēnei tau i whakanuia

te wiki o te reo Māori ki

te Kāreti o Māngere me

te huhua o ngā kaupapa

pēnei i te ako karakia, ako

waiata, te nui kata me te

kai.

Ko te kaupapa matua o te tau nei

ko te ‘Kia kaha te reo Māori’ ā, i

tērā tau ko te ‘Kia ora te reo Māori’.

I rawe te wiki, i ako ngā kaiako i

tētahi karakia, i tētahi waiata anō

hoki ā, i kite hoki rātou i te pao kai

me te harihari kai.

I kīkī rawa te whare pukapuka i te

I te Rāmere i haere ngā pakeke o

te akomanga reo Māori ki te hikoi

mo te reo i tū ki Te Mānukanuka o

Hoturoa.

This year at MC we celebrated

Māori Language week with prayers,

singing, laughing and eating. The

theme this year was ‘Kia Kaha te

reo’ which follows from last years

‘Kia ora te reo’.

The week was full of things to do:

staff learnt a karakia, a waiata and

witnessed a Pao kai and a Harihari

kai. Meanwhile, the Library was

busy on Tuesday and Thursday

with poi making and on Friday the

senior students of the reo Māori

class also participated in the Māori

Language Hikoi which was held in

Manukau.


Kapa haka

“Ehara taku toa i te toa

takitahi, engari he toa

takitini”

“My successes are not mine

alone, but of many – the greatest

successes we will have are from

working together.”

Kapa haka has now started to

progress at Māngere College, led by

our new kaiako, Maehe Nuku, who

is also working in the Te Reo classes

with Whaea Arihana.

I am Cee-Jay Maitai a Year 13 Māori

Student Leader here at Māngere

College. I have participated in

the kapa haka throughout my

schooling here at MC. Throughout

my journey as a participant I have

learnt to improve in all aspects

and become a stronger leader

within the school community. My

ambition is to inspire and develop

many students who come through,

also to strengthen students in

learning their culture. Our school

was very lucky to have a haka

written for our school and a haka

so unique to our school, created by

Matua Maehe and our students.

We welcome all students to join the

kapa haka group.

qi gong workshop

As part of celebrating Chinese culture during

Chinese Language Week, we had a Health Qi Gong

workshop open to all our Juniors.

Health Qi Gong is a practice to cultivate and balance qi (“life energy”).

The Year 10 Mandarin class made posters to publicise the workshop

and Qi Gong master David Wong came in to run the workshop.

Thirty students attended the workshop, learnt foundational

movements, performed a 20 minute practice and learnt about keeping

our bodies and minds healthy.

chopsticks

workshop

Food is a central part to

understanding different

cultures, and the way we

eat is different in all our

different cultures.

Students learnt and practiced

using chopsticks, and competed

for prizes with picking up drawing

pins. Pins are small and slippery,

so the students had a good

challenge!

Noteworthy at Performing Arts Night

‘Noteworthy’ Junior Choir:

Noteworthy started this

year with a small group

of talented Year 9 & 10

students and has grown

to become a tight-knit

and committed group of

young vocalists who have

grown immensely in their

short time together.

Only a few months after first

forming, they were invited to

perform at the Māngere Town

Centre Library as part of our NZ

Music Month celebrations. The

following month, they performed

at the annual Māngere College

Performing Arts Night to a packed

out crowd; performing both as

an individual group, and also

providing vocals for multiple dance

performance items. Not long after

this, they took a leap of faith and

entered the Vocal Group category

of the prestigious Stand Up

Stand Out competition, receiving

excellent feedback from the judges,

who commented on a ‘great

performance’ that featured ‘lovely

Junior Drumline

harmonies, beautiful tones and

strong leads’.

After a busy and rewarding couple

of terms, Noteworthy closed out the

year performing at the end of year

school prize giving ceremonies, as

well as being invited to present a

mini-concert at the annual Māngere

Bridge Santa Parade.

Their stunning item at the

Performing Arts night had the

crowd cheering them on as they

played not only in a group, but

also as soloists. These creative

percussionists have also created

a custom-made rig for their

‘Junkyard Percussion Project’ –

where they take ‘found’ items

and turn them into percussive

musical instruments. Their final

performance for the year at Junior

Assembly was exceptional.

work and determination

of our girls.

They began the year by performing

for NZ Music Month at the Māngere

Town Centre Library, followed by

entering in the South Auckland

Performing Arts Competition

(SAPACS), with the addition of

Lexus Walters. They entered into

two of the Vocal Group Categories,

competing against many wellseasoned

performers and large

choirs, however they were awarded

high marks and won 2nd place in

both their categories, taking home

certificates, ribbons and prize

money!

Following on from this, VIA also

entered the Group Vocal Heat at the

Stand Up Stand Out competition.

Adyhana, Vera and Ilisapeti also

entered the Solo Vocal heats, with

Ilisapeti progressing to the Solo

Vocal Semi-Finals, placing in the

commenting on their ‘beautiful

vocal blend, interesting arrangement

and thoughtfulness of approach’.

VIA progressed straight through to

the Finals, placing them in the Top 5

vocal groups overall. As part of this,

they had the opportunity to attend

a private masterclass with renowned

soul-singer, Bella Kalolo. Their final

performance was at the Vodafone

On Wednesday 15th August, VIA

trio were profiled on Niu FM as part

of Pacific Youth Week. They were

interviewed about their musical

journey, recent success, music

competitions and what drives them

to succeed. They also performed

two beautiful songs live-on-air.

Their interview and songs were also

streamed live on Niu Fm’s Facebook

Te Rehu and Miracle with MC Staff at Heads Held High

Wayfinder Te Rehu Karaka

Heads Held High

Two of our Year 12

students, Te Rehu Karaka

& Miracle Tonga, were part

of a cohort of promising

young leaders selected

from South Auckland

schools who were given

the chance to creatively

re-story the world they live

in, in collaboration with

the Blackfriars Theatre

Company.

The project, which was showcased

in June at the Māngere Arts

Centre, challenged stereotypes and

explored themes of alofa, reciprocity,

resilience and respect. Te Rehu was

chosen as the Māngere College

Wayfinder for the project. Wayfinders

were chosen as fierce changemakers

who advocate for change.

Te Rehu writes, “I want change

in our learning, in education and

job opportunities. I’m fighting for

freedom. I want our people to think

for themselves and decide what’s

best for our communities.”

Leading on from her involvement

in Heads Held High, Miracle Tonga

was chosen to join “Voices of South

Auckland” – a collective of four

promising high school students with

a talent for spoken word and poetry,

Intermediate students enjoying workshops with Miracle

and a heart for their community.

In association with Springboard

Trust, Miracle delivered empowering

workshops to students at Bruce

McLaren & Takanini Intermediates,

which encouraged and enabled

students to open up and give voice

to their lives, struggles, emotions

and hopes through spoken word,

poetry, games and discussion.

Miracle was deeply inspired by

the bravery and resilience of these

young students, saying of the

experience, “you’d be surprised to

see what a kid can hold. Even the

smallest people carry the heaviest

things in life. But that only inspires

you to do better and to help make a

change.”

crowd. As well as performing as an

individual group, they also provided

the music for dance items, and

then closed the night out with

another song which saw the crowd

up on their feet, dancing the night

away. They were also featured at the

Sports Awards Night, performing

two standout songs that were

enjoyed by all. Closing out the year,

they performed a rousing rendition

of ‘Sometimes it Takes a Mountain’,

to Volume South Exhibition’s composition

competition, and offered them advice and

encouragement on their musical journey.

As a part of the presentation,

Rocky Misiepo, a

motivational speaker and

rapper, talked to students

about his path to success,

his music career, and the

value of being committed

to your work. TJ Manuel, one

of the founders of RepFM

also spoke about his journey

throughout his school

years and then into his

professional career, sharing

how he had such a passion

for music, in particular music

in South Auckland. He set

up his own radio station

and recording studio, and

this became the platform to

work with many successful

artists. He explained the

importance of surrounding

yourself with motivated

friends who will encourage

you to succeed and that if

you find something you love,

work at it and don’t give up

- it’s worth investing time in

your passion. The afternoon

was concluded with a special

performance by upcoming

rapper, Lukan Rai$ey and DJ,

Crème Manuel.

Queen Shirl’e with Year 11 music students

Queen Shirl’e

On 26th February, music

as it forms a firm foundation for the rest

of your life. She also shared her musical

journey and in particular her rapping and

song writing career path and the doors it

has opened for her to get involved in the

community and share her gifts with others.


Year 10 students enjoying the concert

Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra in action

APO Discovery Concert Trip to

Auckland Town Hall

On Wednesday 2nd May,

thirty Year 10 music students

had the opportunity to

travel to the Auckland Town

Hall to hear the Auckland

Philharmonia Orchestra, live

in concert.

This concert was a special showcase

which followed the journey of

orchestral music, looking at how

it has developed from the 16th

Century to today.

The concert kicked off with the

sensational ‘Four Seasons’ by Vivaldi;

a profile of one of the earliest

examples of storytelling. Following

on from this was a journey through

musical history, with pieces by

Mozart, Mendelssohn, Dvorak,

Rachmaninov and Bernstein.

Interests were peaked as the last

piece was announced, a new work

by the APO’s Young Composer

in Residence, Kirsten Strom.

The piece, ‘Wake Up Call’, saw

orchestra members start the piece

whilst on their phones, seemingly

uninterested in beginning the piece

– how bizarre! One by one they

‘woke up’ and the piece came to

life. It was rhythmic, exciting, and

somewhat suspenseful, and even

included clapping, tapping and

stomping sections. Within the space

of two hours, students were taken

on a journey of musical discovery

which opened their eyes to the

possibilities in music – whether as a

performer, composer, conductor, or

even a committed music enthusiast!

well as giving students an insight

into their lives as professional

musicians. They encouraged the

students to think hard about

choosing a career that they feel

passionate about and to put the

groundwork in by being motivated

and consistent. They all spoke of

how playing music with others,

whether it be in bands, ensembles

or orchestras is really enjoyable and

brings out the fun of music, and

that practice is key for achieving

your goals as a musician.

the house down with their energetic

routine.

Exceptional vocals and harmonies

were showcased by our Girls Trio

and Boys Quartet and we were

treated to a lively, fantastically

costumed Year 11 dance to the

theme song from ‘Hairspray’.

Ruby Winter:

“It was a great

experience because we

got to learn different

types of dance. It was

awesome working

with the University

instructors because

they helped us relate

how we express

emotions through

dance.”

workshop

Activate

2018

In Term 3, our Dance students

were visited by facilitators from

the Unitec Institute of Technology,

who delivered their Activate 2018:

Dance Performance Workshop.

They were treated to an interactive

and action-packed Dance

class, with the awesome opportunity

to share moves with Dance

University students.


2018

Dance

report

Dance in 2018 started

out with a great focus on

composition.

Students in years 11, 12 and 13

spent all of term 1 focusing on their

identity and developing creative

movement pieces that highlighted

who they are and where they come

from. Apii and Una in year 11, Tare,

Rehia and Erana in year 12 and

Sharee, Holly and Izadine in year

13 all worked collaboratively to

make amazingly

creative pieces. This

composition work

led perfectly into

the term 2 extracurricular

event

of Gen X, where

several of our year 13 students

worked together to develop a piece

that represented the theme of

Purpose.

During terms 2 and 3 all Dance

classes focused on performance

work, developing their skill and

technique across a variety of

genres. Topping off term 2 with a

spectacular Performing Arts night,

which was highlighted by two class

performances of Hairspray (year

11) and Dive (years 12 and 13).

In addition to this, at the start of

term 3 we were very lucky to have

a team of students from Unitec

come in and run a performance

and composition workshop with

Dance students from years 10-13.

As a result of that day, one of our

talented junior dancers Anne has

been regularly training with Unitec

as part of a youth contemporary

dance group.

Year 10 Dance has had a great

year, highlighted particularly by the

collaborative piece we developed

with the year 10 Music class, which

concluded with the students

performing amazingly well in front

of their peers and an exclusive

audience of Mr Webb and members

of the ERO team. Another highlight

of the year 10 class has been our

musical theatre class dance which

has shown the skill and enthusiasm

our junior students have towards

dance in general.

Overall 2018 has been a great year

for Dance. Each year the ability of

the students increases and they

inevitably rise to the new challenges

placed before them.

Gen X 2018

A talented group of our

Dance students created a

uniquely choreographed

performance piece for Gen

X 2018.

This innovative secondary school

competition fuses various forms

of the arts to bring a message of

hope and love - and this year’s

theme was Purpose. The audience

was treated to a combination of

spoken word, music, dance and

multimedia, to be used as a voice

for our young people.

Physical Education and

Health Department 2018

It was a busy and fun-filled year within the PE dept this year. Here are

just some of our highlights from this year.

junior PE

Our junior PE

programme

is about

developing and

improving skills,

while learning

to work within a

team.

This year we had an

emphasis on using

and developing

our interpersonal

skills to help others

and ourselves, to

understand the

importance of physical activity

and how it relates to our hauora

(well-being).

Throughout the year our

students have participated in a

variety of different sports and

activities including; athletics,

fitness, games, gymnastics

and swimming.

Our focus in athletics is

all about being the best

we can be. We take

part in different athletic

events such as sprinting, middledistance

running, long jump,

and throwing and consider how

we can improve our own

personal scores through good

techniques.

In fitness, we look at how the

body responds to exercise and

ways to improve our fitness.

We consider different training

methods and the best ways

to meet our own personal

needs. We also consider how

regular exercise and good

eating habits can improve our

hauora.

In games, we explore how

different strategies and

tactics can be used to

gain an advantage over

our opponents. We look

at offensive and defensive

strategies and how creating

space, marking and losing a

player, and good techniques

all play a part in helping our

team succeed. We look at

different games including

invasion games, striking

and fielding and net and

wall games. We also look at

different games from around

the world and consider how

these differ from what we

are used to and the influence

they have on society.

junior health

This year our junior health

program has had a facelift,

by including new units

such as ‘Ko wai au’ and

‘Net Safety’ in year 9.

As the world is ever changing so

is the content of our programmes.

Students are given the opportunity

to explore aspects about their

culture, values and how to

become responsible decision

makers. The aim of these

new programmes is to

build resilience through

strengthening their personal

identity and sense of selfidentity.

Through this we hope

that students will be able to

make a significant contribution

to the well-being of themselves

and others beyond the

classroom.

‘...students are given

the opportunity

to explore aspects

about their

culture, values and

how to become

responsible

decision makers.’


senior

PE

In our senior PE

programme we

are able to offer

4 achievement

standards all

looking at building

and improving

on the students’

knowledge from

years 9 and 10.

In our first standard, we

focus on our interpersonal

skills and the students

create and work within

teams to coach and

officiate each other. This

really challenges our

students to listen and

understand each others’

views.

In our second standard,

we challenge the students

to participate in a variety

of different games

and activities many of

which they have not

experienced before or are

not familiar with such as

archery, bowls or soccer.

Students are then asked

to consider some of the

factors that influence their

participation and how and

why they participated.

We also have a

performance standard

where students are

required to perform an

activity or sport to a high

standard on a regular

basis.

Our final standard is a

health standard looking

at promoting positive

sexuality. Although this is

a difficult and sometimes

embarrassing subject

we feel that it is vitally

important for all our

students to learn and

understand about this

subject as they mature

into adulthood.

Tongariro camp

During week 9 our

Student Leaders and

other Year 13 students in

Leadership roles went to

Tongariro National park for

a 5 night camp.

The camp had a focus on

developing their leadership skills

and allowing them to consider

what they as a group would like to

achieve this year.

All leaders were given the

opportunity to challenge themselves

both physically and mentally.

The students participated in a

variety of different activities, which

gave them the chance to practice

some of their leadership skills.

They represented themselves and

Māngere College very well and we

look forward to seeing what this

group of students can do into the

future.


sports leaders

The Year 12 Sports

Leadership class

started the year with a

bang, with the group

organising and running

the big day out for the

year 9 students.

This was a fun filled day of games

and activities aimed at helping

the year 9 pupils get to know each

other. Activities included team

building games such as magic

stick and spiders web as well as

traditional games.

Year 13 Sports Leadership class

had a focus on different leadership

strategies in term one and

considered the strengths and

weaknesses of each. In term two

they had an opportunity to put

some of these into practice when

they planned and ran coaching

sessions for our Junior PE classes.

big day out

On Friday 16th of

February, the Year 9s had

their Big Day Out where

they all participated in

activities organised by the

Year 12 Sports Leadership

class.

It took place on our own fields

where everyone involved

participated in the games including

the Student Leaders. The purpose

of this event was to give the Year 9s

a fun and competition, develop the

MC way and build team-work within

each form class. It was well worth a

day out of the classroom!

We played a game called ‘Scenarios’

where each form class presented

a short skit displaying the values of

Māngere College, which are Respect

and Responsibility.

All classes were very committed

to their acting and portrayal of

what the MC Way is which made

everything more enjoyable. The

day was finished off with a sausage

sizzle put on by teachers.

- Jasmine Strickland

‘...build

team-work

within

each form

class.’


sports

science

The main

purpose of

sports science

is to assist

those that have

a passion for

sports to help

maximise their

potential.

This is done through

teaching methods and

principles of training,

which then have to be

applied in a training

program created by

our students.

sports science go to

woodhill forest

The Level 2 Sports

Science classes went to

Woodhill Forest as a part

of their mountain biking

assessment looking at

risk management in an

outdoor setting.

The main focus was to plan a

mountain biking trip and look at

some of the possible risks associated

with it. The students had to prepare

a Safety Action Plan (SAP) outlining

the risks, what could be the major

cause of these risks and how they

were going to minimize these risks.

The students got a good insight

into how risk can be managed and

how to determine some potential

dangers in outdoor activities.

Many of us enjoyed ourselves a lot

despite the minor injuries that we

got along the unbalanced ride. It

was a really fun but a scary first

experience for most of us. It was

awesome with all the students

taking part in this new activity and

pushing themselves.

The ride was mixed with tracks

that were downhill and uphill.

One highlight was when some

people accidentally let go of the

bike handles while riding and

ended up crashing into the trees or

bushes, another highlight was going

through the steep down-hill tracks.

Well done to all students and a

special thank you to our sports

science teacher for all your hard

work and commitment.

-Julienne Niko

Classes also look at

sport from a

socio-ecological

perspective and

how that can have

an impact on

participation in

physical activity.

Students then take

action to enable

others to participate in

a planned activity.

In 2019, these

activities will be

aquatic-based.

‘...another

highlight

was going

through the

steep downhill

tracks.’


Auckland Science and

Engineering Challenge

This term, we sent a

group of Year 9 and 10

Māori students to the

Science and Engineering

Challenge at the Franklin

Pool and Leisure Centre in

Pukekohe.

Social Science

The challenge is presented by The

Univeristy of Newcastle and in

partnership by the Āmua Ao & The

Pūhoro STEM (Science, Technology,

Engineering and Maths) Academy.

It was a fun and action-packed day

for the students, and the ultimate

aim of the day was to give the

students a positive experience of

science and engineering.

Our students came 4th out of 8

schools.

Year 9 Geography

Year 9 Students embark on a hikoi of Te Pane o

Mataoho (Māngere Mountain) at the beginning of term

2. This involved a ‘Walk and Cook For Life’ workshop

encouraging students to grow and cook their own

vegetables.

1 Geography trip

The 1GEO trip to Ihumatao was a Geography

Contemporary Issue assessment. We were

joined by Pania Newton, who is one of the

key members of SOUL advocating to save

Ihumatao from a large housing development.


2 geography

hunua falls trip

The Level 2 Geography class spent a day in the native forest at

Hunua Falls learning about our climate. They worked as a team to

research the many things in the environment that affect the temperature

where we live. They also got to experience our country’s

beautiful nature.

1 geography

hikoi

The 1GEO Hikoi was the Geology

walk of Te Pane o Mataoho. It

was a collaborative Science and

Geography assessment.

3 geography

karekare trip

For most students in Level 3 Geography, their field trip

to Karekare was the first time they had experienced

Auckland’s wild west coast beaches. They enjoyed

walking across the wide open sand dunes surrounded

by high cliffs and to learn about the power of the open

ocean and our natural environment.

Flag Making

The Heritage Rescue

flag-making workshop

was on the 9th of

February and was held

in the D-Block Fabric

workshop.

It was a fantastic opportunity

for our Level 3 Fashion students

to get involved with protecting

heritage land at Ihumatao.

The students, Mrs Maskell and

Ms Singh worked alongside

SOUL (Save Our Unique

Landscape) and a team of

specialists from TV documentary

series “Heritage Rescue”. The

students and teachers have

created dozens of bright

flags to draw attention to

the historic site and to the

community’s fight to save it

from destruction.

The students’ work will be

featured on ‘Heritage Rescue’

on Choice TV.

Students loved sewing the

colourful flags and designs

on the flags. It was a great

and interesting learning

experience for Level 3

Fashion students.

Variety of Chefs

visit MC

Every year before the SkyCity

Variety of Chefs event, the chefs

visit a local school and spend

the morning cooking with a

special group of Variety kids.

This year, celebrity Chefs Nic Watt, Monique

Fiso and Hayden McMillan came to

Māngere College, where they foraged with

our refugee students in the garden before

cooking some amazing omelettes.

The final results were delicious, using a few

vegetables from our school garden and

eggs.

On Friday morning, we met 3 variety chefs

who taught us how to cook Japanese

omelettes and lettuce wraps with

vegetables in a square frying pan.

Patricia Beazley who also had the

role of coach for the first seven

games.

Supporting the team was

teacher-in-charge Milo West

and myself as manager.

We were gratefully privileged

to have Mr Samu take over

the role of Coach.

Team success included

placing second in our

section and gaining

entry to the Auckland

Champs. A great

experience for our team.

Results for the season

was played 11, won 8

and lost 3.

The progress of our

team was rewarded

with the development

of Year 9 and 10s. An

exciting group who will

go from strength to

strength.

Year 11s have come

through since Year 9

and their supporting

role with the juniors

has been one of

their strengths.

I would like to

acknowledge

the staff

who

supported us.

Miss West – our reliable driver,

making sure we had our belts on

before she turned the key on and

providing the team with snacks.

Mr Samu – our trusting coach who

not only shared his coaching skills

and knowledge but also his food.

Tai Uamaki – for her behind the

scene role in the participation of the

team. Thank you Tai.

Special thanks to the

team, a great bunch

who I encourage to

return for another

season in 2019.

Basketball team, I am

privileged to share our

journey for 2018.

This year we had one basketball

U17 girls’ team consisting of

players from years 9 to 11.

We competed in the U17

Counties Manukau Basketball

Tournament playing against

other schools in that zone.

During practices there were fun

times, times we trained hard and

times we played well…this also

came through in our games.

Being successful in coming

allowed us to gain entry to

Auckland Champs.

This was a great experience for

our team.

Soccer

We had one boys

team of committed

players this year.

They played in the Senior

Manukau B division

despite having many boys

from the junior school. It’s

fair to say that this team

is full of big characters

and some great players,

although not the most

organised group or team

I’ve ever seen.

We had a good start to our

season, putting in a solid

performance in our round

robin games, winning 5 of

our games and finishing

3rd overall. This put us

into the plate competition

where we went on to

finish 5th.

A special mention to

Shuaib and Shane who

are both in their last

season with us having

played for the boys soccer

team for all of their 5

years at MC. These boys

both stepped up to roles

of responsibility this year,

running some training

sessions and coaching,

while Shane was our

captain.

Once again well done

on a great season

- you guys really

represented

yourself and our

school with great

passion and pride.

Well done and thank you.

- Mr Darragh

Boys soccer coach

As always there were

lots of fun and laughter

around this team and I

would like to thank all the

boys for their hard work,

commitment and great

sportsmanship throughout

the season.


Rugby

Firstly, let us thank all the

players who took part in this

year’s rugby teams, from our

young bucks in the under 14’s

and 15s, the girls in the 10-a-side

team, to Māngere College’s

future rugby stars in the 2nd

XV, to our unstoppable 1st XV

who led the way with their

hard work and dedication. Most

importantly let’s thank all the

coaches and managers, because

without them there would be no

teams.

1st XV Rugby

Our 1st XV team

played in the 1C

competition this

year and had an

unprecedented

season, going

through the entire

competition

without losing a

match.

defeated Mt Albert

Grammar and then took

out our fellow Māngere

rivals, Southern Cross

Campus in the final

to be crowned 1C

Champions for 2018.

The team played a total

of 12 games and didn’t

taste defeat all season.

The side were a class

above all opponents,

going through the

round robin unbeaten,

finishing on top of the

table and qualifying

for the playoffs. In their

semifinal, the first XV

Such a successful year

wouldn’t be possible

without the hard work

and the sacrifices of our

coaches Piri, Dee, Vi and

our manager Ms Masoe.

- Sili Tongotongo

Captain

This year 1st XV rugby

competed in 1C grade, they

were the contender and

a force to reckon with in

school rugby.

Coach Piri Tamihana, alongside

Dee Masters worked hard this

year with the boys and came

out with a great achievement

for Māngere College.

Participation in the team has

been a great opportunity

for these boys, they

demonstrated hard work,

comradery and commitment.

The 1st XV should be proud of

their result in this competition

of 10 games, being

undefeated with 10 wins

for the season and making

us the proud winners of the

Auckland Secondary Schools

Rugby 1C.

- Caroline Masoe

Manager


2nd XV boys

rugby

Our 2nd XV team played

in the 2B competition and

played a total of 9 games,

winning 7.

These boys stormed through

the round robin matches, going

on a 6 game winning streak.

As one of the top sides, they

easily qualified for the playoffs

before finally succumbing in

their semifinal. This team was

coached by Willie Marsters and

their manager was Ms P Reddy.

- Sili Tongotongo

It has been an

extraordinary

season for our 2nd

XV Rugby team.

They played with an

outstanding style, set a

high standard of play

and showed a calm

determination during

high pressure moments

to finish 2nd overall in

their grade. There were

plenty of personal bests,

praying, singing, lots of

laughs and great team

spirit and so we are all

looking forward to next

season.

The team is very

appreciative of their

coach, Mr Willie Masters,

who took on the huge

u15’s boys rugby

Our under 15 team

played in the 15B

competition and

played a total of

9 games, winning

5, losing 3 and

drawing 1.

This year we had a

composite team (2

schools combined).

Marcellin College had a

coach and players but

no team was available to

play at their school. On

the other hand, we had a

team but no coach.

These boys played well

throughout the round

robin games and qualified

for the top 8 knockout

rounds, going down in the

quarterfinals.

This team was coached

by Joe Collins and Jon

Pearse, their manager

and Teacher-in-Charge

was Miss Tualaulelei and

the captain was Nofoaiga

Sefulu.

u14’s boys rugby

girls (10-a-side) rugby

Coach: Matapo Nipu (exstudent)

Co-coach: Dee Marsters

(community)

Staff in charge: Ms A

Potini

Captain: Jasine Leo’Olo

The team was small in

numbers but not short on

talent, with injuries and

other commitments, the

players have found it very

frustrating and difficult

to cope within the winter

season of rugby.

Coach: Mr A Tuitupou

Staff in charge: Mr P

Campbell & Ms E McCosh

Captain: Josh Havili

The U14 rugby season

started with a hiss

and a roar with a large

squad toughing it out

at trainings. The pack

showed plenty of

humour and enthusiasm,

but a lot of new faces

also meant they had

plenty to learn.
