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

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.

wish her well for the future.
piri

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.
Mangere College - 2018 9
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
22 Mangere College - 2018
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
Mangere College - 2018 23
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.
Mangere College - 2018 27
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,
28 Mangere College - 2018
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.

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

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.

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,

In Kids with Character,
we are developing

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

Our Year 11 Business
students went to

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.

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.

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.

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

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.”

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’,

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!

APOPS Brass &
Percussion Visits
Our Year 10 music students
were treated to a special
presentation by brass and
percussion members of the
Auckland Philharmonia
Orchestra.
As well as performing a variety of
interesting pieces for our students,
including classical, jazz and
contemporary styles, they talked
about the mechanics, history and
technique of their instruments, as
APOPS Percussion Showcase
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.
Malcolm Lakatani with Year 11 Music
Composition students
Over five weeks in Term 2, our
Level 1 & 3 music students had
the opportunity to work with
performer, recording artist, vocalist
and multi-instrumentalist, Malcolm
Lakatani.
The Mentoring in Schools
programme supports teachers
and students with NCEA Music
Achievement Standards – allowing
students to potentially earn four
to six credits through their work
with their mentor. Our students
thoroughly enjoyed being mentored
by Malcolm, who assisted students
in their music composition work.

performing arts night
Our MC Auditorium was
packed to the brim on
Wednesday 20 June as our
Performing Arts students
starred in our annual
Performing Arts night.
The programme featured
performances by Year 11, 12 and 13
dancers, many of whom showcased
stunning original hip-hop and
contemporary choreography.
Highlights included a rousing
introduction from our kapa haka
group, who introduced our new
school haka, and some wonderful
collaborations between our
‘Noteworthy’ Junior choir singers
and the dancers. The night included
performances by our Year 13 Band,
Year 11 & 12 Vocal Groups, and our
Junior Drumline group who brought
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.”

In Term 3, our Dance students
were visited by facilitators from

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.’
Mangere College - 2018 65
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.

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.

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.

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.

This year our girls’
basketball team consisted
of students from Years 9
to 11.
Competing weekly in the Counties
Manukau Zone captained by
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.

On behalf of our mixed
U17/Year9 and 10 Girls
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
second in our section, this
allowed us to gain entry to
Auckland Champs.
This was a great experience for
our team.
The progress of our team
has been rewarding with the
development of our Year 9 and
10s.
Our Year 11s has been a team
who has come through from
year 9. They have grown from
strength to strength each year.
On behalf of the team, I would
like to acknowledge the great
staff who has supported us.
Miss West, Mr Samu and Mrs
Beazley, thank you for all your
support which has meant
everything to us. Thank you,
thank you, and thank you.
Last but not least from me,
special thanks to our 2018 Girls
basketball team. Bring on 2019!

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.

future rugby stars in the 2nd

importantly let’s thank all the
