Whirlwind week for<br />
talented teenager<br />

ANDREW’S<br />
COLLEGE<br />
It’s been a busy week for the multi-talented Sienna Stowers-Smith. On Sunday, she was co-captain of St<br />
Andrew’s College mixed touch team, which won the South Island secondary schools’ championship title. Two<br />
days before that, she was named to trial for the New Zealand secondary schools’ netball team for a second<br />
consecutive year. Stowers-Smith’s talents aren’t limited to the two sports either. The year 13 student played<br />
for the New Zealand Māori under-18 Ngā Māreikura sevens team at the world schools’ sevens tournament in<br />
December. • Read more about the netball and touch success on page 6<br />
Smash<br />
and grab<br />
teens hit<br />
preschool<br />
teacher’s<br />
vehicle<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
FIVE FLEEING teenagers who<br />
were involved in a smash-andgrab<br />
at Northlink Shopping<br />
Centre were arrested following a<br />
failed getaway attempt.<br />
The teenagers were fleeing from<br />
police after they had smashed<br />
the front doors and window of<br />
Noel Leeming at the Northlink<br />
Shopping Centre about 4.40am,<br />
where they were seen running<br />
into the store holding pillowcases.<br />
Police were informed of the<br />
suspected stolen vehicle in the<br />
Huntsbury area about 7.45am on<br />
Monday.<br />
When police responded, the<br />
occupants of the vehicle tried to<br />
flee, damaging a police vehicle<br />
and a Huntsbury Preschool<br />
teacher’s vehicle in the process.<br />
In a Facebook post, mums<br />
from the preschool have banded<br />
together and said they would pay<br />
for the insurance excess on the<br />
teacher’s car.<br />
A Huntsbury resident posted<br />
on Facebook on Monday he saw<br />
up to seven police cars at the<br />
scene and was told by police that<br />
one of the teenagers was 13.<br />

CHECK IT OUT: ‘The new store is very sharp,’ customer Kathryn told Rhys.<br />
Owner Stu,<br />
cutting the<br />
ribbon and<br />
reopening<br />
the store as<br />
FreshChoice<br />
Fendalton.<br />
A fresh new choice in Fendalton<br />
FRESHCHOICE Fendalton<br />
opened its new store on Ilam Rd<br />
this week.<br />
The former Supervalue<br />
Fendalton store has been<br />
refreshed with a new look and<br />
name.<br />
Store owner Stu said the<br />
supermarket is an integral part<br />
of the community.<br />
“We have proudly operated<br />
in Fendalton for over 13 years<br />
and during that time we have<br />
appreciated the loyalty and<br />
support of the local community.”<br />
After the February 22, 2011<br />
earthquake the store stayed<br />
open, providing a vital link to<br />
the community.<br />
“We were proud we were able<br />
to continue serving customers<br />
during that difficult time. While<br />
some of the faces may have<br />
changed since then, the team<br />
brings this same customer-first<br />
approach to everything they do,”<br />
said Stu.<br />
When the store is busy<br />
customers will often find<br />
the owners behind the till or<br />
working on the shop floor filling<br />
shelves.<br />
Store manager David has<br />
worked in the store for seven<br />
years. For the FreshChoice team<br />
it is all about collaboration and<br />
community, he said.<br />
“A caring, respectful working<br />
environment like this is hard to<br />
find, but working at FreshChoice<br />
Fendalton makes it easy to have<br />
pride in the work that I do.<br />
“We have some amazing fresh<br />
deals to celebrate our team<br />
joining the FreshChoice family,<br />
which shoppers will appreciate.<br />
Best of all, our customers will<br />
be greeted by the same friendly<br />
faces and excellent customer<br />
service that our store has always<br />
prided itself on.”<br />
• FreshChoice Fendalton is<br />
located at 376 Ilam Rd, and<br />
is open 7am-9pm every day.<br />

Canty marching team<br />
displays winning style<br />
The Pioneers of Canterbury<br />
Masters team marched their<br />
way to success at the recent NZ<br />
<strong>March</strong>ing Championships, hosted<br />
by <strong>March</strong>ing Canterbury and<br />
held at Christchurch Arena.<br />
Smartly turned out in their<br />
crisp white jackets and blue and<br />
white tartan skirts, the 21-member<br />
team took first place in the<br />
display phase and were third<br />
champion team overall.<br />
Sirita Prior, who co-coaches the team<br />
with Noeline Kitto, says it was the closest<br />
result for champion team in five years,<br />
and “a very interesting competition with<br />
just <strong>30</strong> points between the first and third<br />
placegetters”.<br />
They were also the third-placed technical<br />
drill team.<br />
For their winning display march, the<br />
team received a trophy, with members<br />
also awarded badges and bars to place on<br />
their jackets.<br />
Eight teams from around New Zealand<br />
competed in the Masters division, four of<br />
them from Canterbury.<br />
The Pioneers of Canterbury Masters<br />
have enough members for two technical<br />
drill teams, and the second team, Pioneers<br />
of Canterbury Force, placed fifth in<br />
the technical drill phase.<br />
“It’s been said by some that you can’t<br />
coach two teams successfully, but we’ve<br />
proved them wrong. It’s also how you<br />
advertising<br />
Pioneers of Canterbury marching team and coaches Sirita Prior, left<br />
and Noeline Kitto, with their trophy front and centre.<br />
measure success which defines the season<br />
– awards aren’t what we prioritise but we<br />
appreciate them when they are received,”<br />
Sirita says.<br />
“We train both teams together as one<br />
team and they both receive the same<br />
attention.”<br />
Prior to the championships, the<br />
Pioneers of Canterbury were invited to<br />
showcase their display and technical<br />
marches at the Drill Dance Australia and<br />
<strong>March</strong>ing NZ Tattoo being held on the<br />
Gold Coast in July.<br />
“We asked the girls if they wanted to go<br />
and not one of them said ‘no’,” Sirita says.<br />
“They will have four weeks off from<br />
training before we prepare for Australia<br />
and then when we return we will be creating<br />
a whole new display and learning a<br />
new technical drill for next season, which<br />
starts in October,” Sirita says.<br />
The 2024 NZ <strong>March</strong>ing Championships<br />
will be held in Hamilton next <strong>March</strong>,<br />
hosted by <strong>March</strong>ing Waikato.

Stepping Back in<br />
Time - Year 1-3<br />
students visit<br />
Ferrymead.<br />
For our integrated topic this term,<br />
we have been learning about<br />
transformation with the context<br />
for learning being looking at how<br />
Christchurch has transformed as a<br />
result of migration. To learn more<br />
about what Christchurch was like<br />
back in the colonial days, each Kaitiaki<br />
group in Year 1-3 hopped on the bus to<br />
Ferrymead!<br />
Our students were so excited when the<br />
bus turned up - for some of our tamariki<br />
it was their first ever bus ride! When we<br />
arrived at Ferrymead, the children got<br />
changed into their costumes.<br />
Our students also baked cookies in a<br />
colonial kitchen.<br />
They also attended Moorhouse school<br />
- a colonial school with very strict<br />
expectations!<br />
Buzz buzz - Nothing sweeter than honey!<br />
Kicking off the year with harvesting last year’s honey!<br />
Last year we started our journey with our new beehive provided by Bee<br />
Awesome and they have been fantastic!<br />
We started with preparing our school grounds with some beautiful native plants/<br />
trees as well as bee-friendly plants that were given to us by Bee Awesome.<br />
The awesome staff at Bee Awesome then took our students for a series of<br />
lessons around honey bees in preparation for the incoming hive.<br />
Term 4 2022, rolls around and we have our new beehive, this went from a single<br />
box to a 4 tier box over the next 8 weeks.<br />
The students were able to kit up in bee suits and open up the beehive to have a<br />
look inside and see how the bees were going.<br />
From there we locked it up for over the summer when we knew they would be<br />
busy at work.<br />
This year we finally got the chance to open it up with most of last year’s Bee<br />
Team. They were so excited to see all the hard work that the bees had done over<br />
the summer.<br />
Check out some pictures of our students in action harvesting the honey and<br />
learning about different things. The bees are really healthy and we are super<br />
happy with how we were supported during this process by Bee Awesome and by<br />
the school.<br />
Kōmingo Year 5 & 6<br />
CBD Trip<br />
In Term 4 we went on<br />
our Trip to the CBD.<br />
On our trip we went<br />
to Margaret Mahy<br />
Park, completed<br />
a Scavenger hunt<br />
to find cultural<br />
landmarks in the CBD<br />
including the Kate<br />
Shepherd memorial<br />
and the Bridge of<br />
Remembrance,<br />
visited the Tūranga<br />
library to learn about cultural landmarks<br />
and walked to Victoria Square to<br />
have our lunch under the trees before<br />
completing our scavenger hunt. It was a<br />
very hot day but it was loads of fun and<br />
we learnt a lot about the transformation<br />
of our city and the cultural landmarks.<br />
Thank you to the amazing parent<br />
helpers, teachers and staff from<br />
Tūranga who made our trip so<br />
awesome!<br />
Police Competency Test - <strong>2023</strong><br />
Taiheke were fortunate enough to have two teams enter into this event. PCT competition was<br />
held on Tuesday the 7th of <strong>March</strong>. This event was run at Cowles stadium. Students in their teams<br />
were put through their paces, testing their speed, agility, teamwork, and perseverance. Below are<br />
some student’s reflections and a selection of photos from the event.<br />
Maya<br />
• Thought that the PCT test was very fun and an amazing experience. We got to do lots of<br />
activities, such as laser, lilypad and who could fold their tarpaulin the most times and we would<br />
have to stand on them for ten seconds. My favourite part was the actual test because it was<br />
fun jumping over the walls.<br />
Enzo<br />
• The PCT was extraordinary with plenty of activities including: Laser run where there was a police<br />
officer that would record your speed with a laser gun while you run down a track. We got to tour<br />
through a police car and look through the St. John’s equipment, learning the safety position and<br />
also learning how to do CPR. There were also team-building challenges that would test your<br />
teamwork. But my favourite was the main event which was the PCT course! It was my favourite<br />
because of all the obstacles which was a challenge but through teamwork we succeeded.<br />
Jessie<br />
• Taking part in the PCT this week was an amazing experience as we were able to put all our<br />
fitness skills to the test. One of my highlights from the event was taking part in a variety of<br />
activities leading up to the main test. The main test was a very challenging course with many<br />
obstacles to overcome as a team but after all our hard work on the course, we were able to get<br />
a free sausage sizzle (which was very yummy). Overall I would recommend to anyone coming<br />
into year 7/8 in the coming years to try out for the PCT team as it was an amazing experience<br />
and just a really great chance to work in a team.

Chris<br />
Smith<br />
took up<br />
painting<br />
during<br />
the<br />
Covid-19<br />
pandemic<br />
and<br />
wants<br />
to form<br />
a group<br />
to help<br />
isolated<br />
artists.<br />
Plan to bring lonely<br />
artists together<br />
CHRIS SMITH wants to bring<br />
like-minded artists together to<br />
share ideas, work on projects or<br />
just have a coffee and a chat.<br />
She took up acrylic painting<br />
when she retired during the<br />
Covid-19 pandemic.<br />
Her art has become her<br />
passion but she has found it to<br />
be an isolating activity. So Smith<br />
has called for people to form a<br />
group in Burnside.<br />
“I think it would be really<br />
fun if we were a mixed group<br />
of arts and crafts people like<br />
scrapbookers, painters, cardmakers,<br />
just anything really.<br />
“It would be great to see what<br />
everyone is up to and share our<br />
knowledge and abilities with<br />
each other.”<br />
Smith has attended a few art<br />
classes but they were expensive<br />
and she would rather spend<br />
money on paint and canvas.<br />
“I’d like to get a group of . . .<br />
arts and craft people together<br />
for weekly get-togethers, where<br />
each person can work on their<br />
own projects, similar to a class<br />
situation, or just turn up for a<br />
coffee and a chat.”<br />
Smith said her art has changed<br />
and evolved. She paints New<br />
Zealand landscapes and dabbles<br />
in fluid painting, but is trying<br />
to loosen up her style with some<br />
abstract works.<br />
“It’s all for fun,” she said.<br />
•For further information<br />

A word from Ilam MP<br />
Sarah<br />
Pallett<br />
I know things are tough right now<br />
for many Canterbury households. As<br />
a Government, we’re focused on the<br />
big issues that matter most to New<br />
Zealanders, like tackling the cost of<br />
living and supporting communities<br />
following the recent severe weather.<br />
We’ve announced a cost of living<br />
package that will support around<br />
1.4 million New Zealanders – with<br />
pensioners, students, parents, and<br />
those on main benefits receiving a<br />
boost to their income from the start of<br />
next month.<br />
Superannuation for people here in Ilam<br />
will rise from April 1, with a couple<br />
both aged over 65 receiving over $100<br />
more a fortnight, and a single person<br />
living alone receiving an extra $66.86<br />
each payment.<br />
We’re also boosting the student<br />
allowance and student loan living costs<br />
payments by around $20 each payment,<br />
to make everyday life more affordable<br />
for tertiary students.<br />
To support families, we’re boosting<br />
Working for Families, including<br />
increases to Best Start Payments,<br />
and increasing the eldest child rate<br />
for the Family Tax Credit. We’re also<br />
expanding childcare assistance, cutting<br />
costs for working parents.<br />
These measures build on the steps<br />
we’ve already taken to ease the pressure<br />
on Canterbury families, including<br />
increasing the minimum wage and<br />
cutting the cost of petrol and public<br />
transport.<br />
We’re also cancelling or delaying a suite<br />
of programmes, to free up funding and<br />
resources for where they’re needed<br />
most. These policy changes will help<br />
to provide greater bandwidth for the<br />
Government to ensure we’re doing all<br />
we can to support New Zealanders in<br />
the here and now.<br />
While these measures won’t solve<br />
everything, they are practical steps that<br />
we can take to support families in Ilam<br />
with the cost of living.<br />

Talented netballers earn NZ schools trial<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
ST ANDREW’S Sienna Stowers-<br />
Smith and St Margaret’s Ivy<br />
Brown will trial for the New<br />
Zealand secondary schools’<br />
netball team next month<br />
after impressing at a national<br />
development camp.<br />
Brown will be trialing for the<br />
first time, while Stowers-Smith<br />
was named in last year’s secondary<br />
schools’ team.<br />
A pool of 90 participated in<br />
three national development<br />
camps in January, but only 24<br />
players were selected for a trial.<br />
Stowers-Smith and Brown<br />
are the only players from the<br />
Mainland region and two of the<br />
six South Island players.<br />
Stowers-Smith has played<br />
for the New Zealand under-18<br />
Māori Ngā Māreikura sevens<br />
team at the world schools’<br />
tournament, which took place in<br />
Auckland in December.<br />
Brown previously represented<br />
New Zealand in age-group<br />
basketball, playing at the FIBA<br />
under-16 Asia Cup last year.<br />
Stowers-Smith was also part of<br />
the Christchurch under-18 netball<br />
team that won the national<br />
CHANCE: St Andrew’s College netballer Sienna Stowers-Smith (C bib) and Ivy Brown (right) from St Margaret’s will be<br />
hoping to make the New Zealand secondary schools team.<br />
championships last year.<br />
After three years of Covid-19<br />
impacting international competition<br />
for secondary schools’<br />
netball, the final squad will<br />
travel to Australia in June for<br />
an under-19 competition. New<br />
Zealand secondary schools head<br />
coach Pelesa Semu said most<br />
players are new to the Netball<br />
New Zealand player pathway environment<br />
and the international<br />
exposure will be important<br />
leading up to the Netball World<br />
Youth Cup 2025.<br />
“The NZSS team holds a special<br />
place in New Zealand netball<br />
history and the pinnacle for<br />
secondary school players around<br />
the country,” Semu said.<br />
“We can’t wait to see what<br />
these athletes will bring to the<br />
trials in what will be a good look<br />
into the future of our game in<br />
New Zealand.” Semu will be<br />
assisted by former Silver Fern Jo<br />
Morrison, who will observe and<br />
work with the 24 players during<br />
a three-day trial of fitness, skills<br />
and match play in Auckland<br />
from April 16-18.<br />

St Andrew’s mixed team<br />
WINNER: Samuel Mustchin touches down for St Andrew’s<br />
in the last minute of the South Island secondary schools’<br />
mixed touch final on Sunday.<br />
score South Island title<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
ST ANDREW’S College’s<br />
mixed touch team have won the<br />
South Island secondary schools<br />
tournament after a dominant<br />
display at the weekend.<br />
They beat defending national<br />
champions Rolleston College 8-7<br />
in the final on Sunday to clinch<br />
the title.<br />
St Andrew’s team manager<br />
Alison Lomax said they made<br />
a strong start to the match, but<br />
Rolleston came back in the second<br />
half and managed to draw<br />
even with less than a minute to<br />
go.<br />
“STAC had the ball at the tap<br />
off and managed to keep possession<br />
and to set up a move to<br />
score a try in the last few seconds<br />
of the game to win 8-7,” Lomax<br />
said.<br />
“The large crowd was kept well<br />
entertained with this nail-biting<br />
finish and it was an excellent display<br />
of skills from both teams.”<br />
St Andrew’s finished the tournament<br />
with six wins and just<br />
one loss.<br />
Although they lost to<br />
Wakatipu High in pool play, St<br />
Andrew’s had the best points<br />
differential with 51 over the two<br />
days, largely due to a big 23-1<br />
win against Invercargill’s Te<br />
Wharekura o Arowhenua.<br />
St Andrew’s mixed side<br />
finished fourth at last year’s New<br />
Zealand secondary schools’<br />
tournament and will be looking<br />
to continue their success at<br />
the Christchurch super touch<br />
competition in October.<br />
“The team has had limited<br />
game time on a Wednesday this<br />
term due to weather, despite<br />
this, the team have trained hard<br />
and followed the guidance and<br />
expertise of their coach Paul<br />
Harris,” Lomax said.<br />
The team members will spend<br />
the next two terms playing<br />
various winter sports before they<br />
reassemble in October for the<br />
New Zealand secondary schools’<br />
championship in Rotorua in<br />
December.<br />
St Bede’s College were the best<br />
Christchurch school in the boys’<br />
grade, finishing second after a<br />
final loss to Dunedin’s Kings<br />
High School.<br />
The only final played without<br />
a Christchurch school at the<br />
tournament was in the girls’<br />
grade. Rangi Ruru finished<br />
fourth in the grade.

St Thomas’ dominate Brad Milne Cup<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
ST THOMAS’ dominated the<br />
second half to win the annual<br />
Brad Milne Cup basketball<br />
match against Rolleston College<br />
on Friday.<br />
In a game of two halves, it was<br />
Rolleston leading 43-37 at halftime.<br />
St Thomas’ started the<br />
third quarter with a 14-point<br />
run, which left Rolleston with<br />
a large deficit for the rest of the<br />
match.<br />
At one stage in the second half,<br />
St Thomas’ were leading by 50<br />
points.<br />
Rolleston were able to claw<br />
their way back, but St Thomas’<br />
proved too strong, winning<br />
110-71.<br />
Rolleston College deputy<br />
principal Alby Wilson said it was<br />
great to see the manawa (heartwarming)<br />
spirit of the large<br />
crowd of St Thomas’ supporters<br />
in the Rolleston gymnasium.<br />
The match is played as a season<br />
opener for both schools’ senior<br />
basketball sides in memory of<br />
former teacher Brad Milne.<br />
Milne worked at St Thomas’<br />
for eight years and was<br />
previously an assistant principal<br />
before he moved to Rolleston<br />
College in 2020.<br />
He passed away unexpectedly<br />
in 2020, and the cup was<br />
established the following year.<br />
St Thomas’ have won all three<br />
of the matches.<br />
BIG GAME: St Thomas’ on the charge in the clash against Rolleston College. Left – Brad Milne.<br />
“The whole night captured<br />
the essence of what the night is<br />
celebrating: The life and memory<br />
of Brad Milne. It was played<br />
with heart, fairness and mana.<br />
We know Brad would have been<br />
proud of both teams,” Wilson<br />
said.<br />
Both teams finished the game<br />
with a powerful haka, which<br />
Wilson said was “a great way to<br />
end the night.”<br />

No eggs? No problem, simply substitute<br />
Swapping in one<br />
ingredient for<br />
another can not only<br />
save your cake mixture,<br />
it can also reduce<br />
waste, write the good<br />
folk at Love Food Hate<br />
Waste<br />
WE LOVE using bananas and<br />
apples in creative ways,<br />
but did you<br />
know they<br />
can also<br />
be used<br />
as baking<br />
substitutes<br />
in place of<br />
eggs, butter,<br />
and yoghurt?<br />
This is especially<br />
handy if you often<br />
find partly eaten apples<br />
coming home inside lunch<br />
boxes. Chop them up and place<br />
in freezer bags until you have<br />
enough, then cook them up to<br />
make apple sauce. Stored in a<br />
container, it will last up to three<br />
days in the fridge or longer in<br />
the freezer.<br />
Use ¼ cup as a substitute for<br />
1 egg, or ½ cup of apple sauce<br />
instead of 1 cup of butter, and<br />
swap equal amounts for yoghurt.<br />
If it’s brown bananas you’re<br />
dealing with, half a large banana<br />
can be used instead of 1 egg,<br />
or 1 cup of mashed banana<br />
substituted for 1 cup of butter<br />
or yoghurt. Note that using<br />
ingredient substitutes may affect<br />
the texture and flavour.<br />
Here are more ideas for egg,<br />
butter, and yoghurt substitutes:<br />
What can I use instead of<br />
eggs?<br />
• To replace<br />
one<br />
egg, you can<br />
use:<br />
• Mayonnaise<br />
(left)<br />
– use 2 or 3<br />
tablespoons.<br />
• 1 teaspoon<br />
of baking soda<br />
plus 1 tablespoon<br />
of white<br />
vinegar.<br />
• Ground<br />
flaxseed – mix 1<br />
tablespoon of ground<br />
flaxseed with 3 tablespoons<br />
of cold water, stir then leave to<br />
stand for 10 minutes to thicken.<br />
• Whole chia seeds – mix 1<br />
tablespoon of whole chia seeds<br />
with 3 tablespoons of cold water,<br />
stir, then leave to stand for 10<br />
minutes to thicken.<br />
• Silken tofu – use ¼ cup of<br />
silken tofu, blended.<br />
• Aquafaba (chickpea brine)<br />
– use 2 tablespoons of aquafaba<br />
instead of 1 egg white or 3<br />
tablespoons for 1 whole egg.<br />
• For glazing, in place of an egg<br />
wash, milk also works or heated<br />
apricot jam brushed over the<br />
cooked bread or pastry.<br />
• For breading, a mix of cornstarch<br />
or cornflour and water<br />
can work before coating with<br />
breadcrumbs.<br />
What can I use instead of<br />
butter?<br />
Here is a general guide for the<br />
ratio of butter : substitute.<br />
• Avocado 1:1<br />
• Coconut oil 1:1<br />
• Pumpkin puree 1:¾ (Pureed<br />
squash, butternut, and<br />
sometimes kumara can also be<br />
used)<br />
• Olive and vegetable oil 1:¾<br />
• Applesauce 1:½<br />
• Nut butters 1:1 (but use half<br />
nut butter and half oil)<br />
What can I use instead of<br />
yoghurt?<br />
Sour cream, silken tofu,<br />
coconut yoghurt or cream/milk<br />
all make great substitutes for<br />
yoghurt and work using a 1:1<br />
ratio!<br />
Chocolate mayonnaise<br />
cake<br />
Want to try out a classic<br />
dessert using an ingredient<br />
substitute? Give this decadent<br />
chocolate cake, which uses<br />
mayonnaise instead of egg, a go!<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 cups flour<br />
1 cup sugar<br />
2 tsp baking soda<br />
½ cup cocoa powder<br />
SWAP: This decadent chocolate cake uses mayonnaise<br />
instead of egg.<br />
PHOTOS: GETTY, GEL LIM/ODT<br />
1 cup water or cooled black<br />
coffee<br />
1 cup mayonnaise<br />
1 tsp vanilla extract<br />
Directions<br />
Heat oven to 175 deg C/155 deg<br />
C fan bake. Prepare a 20cm cake<br />
tin or baking dish by greasing it<br />
or lining with baking paper.<br />
Sift the dry ingredients into<br />
a bowl, mix using a whisk then<br />
make a well in the centre.<br />
Add remaining ingredients<br />
and mix until just combined.<br />
Pour into the prepared tin and<br />
bake for 50-55 minutes or until<br />
a skewer inserted in the middle<br />
comes out clean.<br />
Remove from the oven and<br />
leave to cool for 5 minutes before<br />
removing from the tin. Cool<br />
completely if icing.<br />

Kirkwood Intermediate<br />
School of Choice<br />
Celebrating Kirkwood<br />
House Captains for <strong>2023</strong><br />
Year 7 Camp<br />
Our Year 7 pupils have recently<br />
attended a camp at Purau Bay.<br />
This is a great way for the children<br />
to get to know each other.<br />
Back row (from left): Clara, Alex, Amilee, Annabel<br />
Front Row (from left): CJ, Nika, Liam, Oscar<br />
My favourite<br />
part of camp was the<br />
abseiling because it was<br />
fun, challenging, and a new<br />
experience. It was great to watch<br />
everyone do it. I learnt that there<br />
were lots of different types of crabs<br />
on the beach. I also learnt that<br />
when you are abseiling you<br />
never put your feet close<br />
together.<br />
My favourite<br />
part of the camp<br />
was doing the activities<br />
and feeding the eels and<br />
goats. We enjoyed the free<br />
time on the beach, the water<br />
was crystal clear. The<br />
abseiling was amazing;<br />
you feel like you can<br />
fly.<br />
House Captains for Mansfield/Hillary<br />
CJ - ex Ararira Springs Primary<br />
I love the teachers at Kirkwood and I find the school culture is so down<br />
to earth and is super motivational. I like the discipline and strict rules the<br />
teachers lay out. I want to make a positive influence on the students during<br />
their time at Kirkwood and I want to make the environment a better place.<br />
I wanted to be a House Captain because I wanted to be a great leader for<br />
this school.<br />
Clara - ex Lincoln Primary<br />
I like the opportunities and learning environment. Also, the people from<br />
different backgrounds and the staff at Kirkwood are all lovely to talk to.This<br />
year, I would like to encourage more students to try new things. I want to<br />
help fundraise to help our school and I would like to help more students<br />
respect, encourage, and help others. I wanted to be a House Captain<br />
so I could help others, learn leadership skills, and have an influence with<br />
decisions made at school.<br />
House Captains for Sheppard/Freyberg<br />
Liam - ex Knights Stream School<br />
I like Kirkwood for the many opportunities which are offered, especially<br />
leadership opportunities. I will encourage people to try new things which are<br />
outside of their comfort zone. I wanted to become a House Captain because<br />
I would like to get more involved with the school and learn leadership skills.<br />
Amilee - ex Prebbleton<br />
At Kirkwood, I like all the sports and activities made available to us. I would<br />
love to get in a netball, touch and korfball team and will encourage others to<br />
try sports too. I was always wanting to be House Captain at Kirkwood so I<br />
can develop leadership skills.<br />
House Captains for Britten/Te Kanawa<br />
Oscar - ex Ilam School<br />
I really like the Technology classes and Physical Education. My favourite<br />
subject is writing. I wanted to be a House Captain so I can show I am<br />
responsible and really trustworthy to others.<br />
Annabel - ex Halswell School<br />
I enjoy the Technology classes, all the sports available at Kirkwood, and the<br />
many different opportunities offered at Kirkwood. I will get everyone to enjoy<br />
sports days and encourage people to earn House Points. I wanted to be a<br />
House Captain because it sounds like a good leadership role.<br />
House Captains for Rutherford/Batten<br />
Alex - ex Ararira Springs Primary<br />
I love Kirkwood because there are always new things to do and learn. It is<br />
awesome to be around a lot of people my age, and to learn and grow from<br />
them. There are also heaps of cool opportunities, whether they are sporting,<br />
academic or leadership. This year I would like to encourage everyone to be<br />
their best self and make the most of every opportunity. Last year, our class<br />
studied who our houses are named after, this inspired me and made me<br />
want to become a leader.<br />
Nika - ex Beckenham School<br />
I love Kirkwood so much as I feel like I can do anything. All the teachers<br />
and children support me in everything I do. I want to encourage learning and<br />
interacting with others. I wanted to be a House Captain so I can show people<br />
like me that they can do anything they want if they put their mind to it.<br />
I enjoyed all of<br />
the camp, especially<br />
abseiling, canoeing, the farm<br />
tour and feeding the eels. We learnt<br />
how to abseil and how to play Kick the<br />
Can. I learnt that Ripapa Island existed,<br />
and I learnt the island's past uses and<br />
history. I also learnt a lot more about<br />
the Māori history in and around<br />
Ripapa. We went on a farm tour<br />
and enjoyed seeing all the<br />
farm animals.<br />
My favourite<br />
part was abseiling<br />
down the cliff. My other<br />
favourite part was canoeing<br />
in the ocean. I learnt that goats<br />
will eat absolutely anything if<br />
you let them. I also learnt how<br />
to put a tent up and down<br />
and that chickens and<br />
goats like bread.<br />
