Principals Report<br />

Dear Parents and Guardians<br />
We are enjoying the peaceful yet vibrant environment of<br />
engaged, learning students at present, as we work with<br />
them through important content and internal assessment<br />
activities. It is a gratifying experience for us all.<br />
Many of you may have noticed the recent changes to<br />
the website, particularly in terms<br />
of its function and navigation.<br />
We look forward to adding more<br />
images to the website in the next<br />
fortnight, updating the current<br />
stock with more recent images<br />
and photography. I would also<br />
like to promote the section “From<br />
the Principal’s Desk” which<br />
is updated fortnightly, a more<br />
conversational piece on the most<br />
recent developments and issues of<br />
the school.<br />
Those who follow this update will<br />
be aware of the restoration of the<br />
main block. This signifi cant and<br />
important work will start next year. If you are interested in<br />
a general description of this work I encourage you to have<br />
a look at the latest update of “From the Principal’s Desk”.<br />
I will continue to update the community as time progresses<br />
and the details become clearer.<br />
Winter sport is well underway. I have been impressed with<br />
the commitment of students, parents, community groups<br />
and individuals who support our codes. Most recently, I<br />
watched the First XI Boys’ Football team playing Mount<br />
Albert <strong>Grammar</strong> in one of their fi rst games in the premier<br />
grade. I was very proud of our students and the commitment<br />
they made playing in a more diffi cult and challenging grade.<br />
I wish them and all codes all the very best for this season.<br />
We are progressing very well with the implementation<br />
of International Baccalaureate. Staff are trained and we<br />
are well prepared for some visits from the International<br />
Baccalaureate Asia/Pacifi c Branch later this year. Mr.<br />
Holding is surveying the Year 11 students, the fi rst cohort<br />
to be given this choice, this week.<br />
The purpose of this survey is to<br />
give the school some concept of<br />
the numbers of students intending<br />
to take up the International<br />
Baccalaureate option. It does not<br />
commit students to fi rm option<br />
choices for next year at all, it simply<br />
will assist us with planning for<br />
2013. All students will be making<br />
their fi nal option choices later in<br />
the year, as usual. Mr. Holding and<br />
I will be talking to Year 11 students<br />
directly next week, outlining the<br />
two very valid assessment options<br />
for students next year, NCEA and<br />
the International Baccalaureate.<br />
Thank you for your continued support of the school. We<br />
appreciate the depth of this support and encourage you<br />
always to make contact you have any questions or if things<br />
are less than satisfactory at principal@takapuna.school.nz.<br />

PTA News<br />
The PTA welcomed four new<br />
members at our AGM, which was<br />
held at the beginning of March.<br />
There are several other people who<br />
have expressed an interest in joining<br />
and we look forward to meeting<br />
them at our next meeting. Wendy<br />
Duncraft our Deputy Chair, resigned<br />
from the committee. Her role has<br />
been taken over by Darnelle Louie.<br />
Wendy played a major role in the<br />
publication of our cookbook; without<br />
her energy the cookbook would<br />
not have been produced. Wendy’s<br />
support, enthusiasm and commitment<br />
to the school is enormous. Thank you,<br />
Wendy, for your tireless hard work.<br />

Taste of <strong>Takapuna</strong><br />
At the beginning of Term 2 we sent<br />
two cookbooks home to all our new<br />
families of the school and ask that you<br />
buy one for yourselves and sell one to<br />
a friend, family member or neighbour.<br />
We would really appreciate your<br />
support of this fantastic project. This<br />
cookbook is ‘the most useful cookbook<br />
I’ve ever owned’ said one happy<br />
recipient.<br />

Technology<br />

Technology visits the Yellow Treehouse<br />
Technology, as a subject, is concerned with the interaction<br />
of design and technology in the real world and is used<br />
to inform classroom teaching and learning. We actively<br />
seek experts to present and work with classes, and where<br />
possible we encourage learning outside the classroom by<br />
way of technology outings and trips.<br />
Students of Year 11 Spatial Design and Year 12 Resistant<br />
Materials (formally known as Hard Tech) took up the<br />
fantastic opportunity to visit the Yellow Treehouse<br />
Restaurant in Warkworth, last term.<br />
The treehouse was an advertising campaign for the<br />
Yellow Pages and was intended to surprise people and<br />
help the public see Yellow in a different light. The project<br />
was to be designed and made from services found in the<br />
book.<br />
Peter Eising and his team at Pacifi c Environments were<br />
given this adventurous design brief with only three<br />
months available from start to fi nish. The ambitious<br />
project was completed with huge success and functioned<br />
as a restaurant for the three months, as detailed in the<br />
original brief.<br />
Peter Eising spent a morning with our 11 Spatial Design<br />
students explaining the process from the fi rst planning<br />
and designing stages through to construction. Students<br />
quickly realised the similarities between this project and<br />
the design brief they had been given in class.<br />
This was a fantastic opportunity to give students a true<br />
understanding of the meaning of “Technology” and the<br />
problem solving and designing that is such a vital part of<br />
this process.<br />
Students were able to explore this magnifi cent structure<br />
in all its glory. They took photographs and collected<br />
evidence for their external achievement standard, whilst<br />
appreciating true innovation.<br />
Former Year 11 students who are now in 12 Resistant<br />
Materials worked with Peter last year. They visited the<br />
structure that they studied so closely, while collecting<br />
vital research for their current design brief. Peter gave<br />
them a tour of his structure, giving information and<br />
advice on their work. This prior knowledge has been<br />
utilized to add continual development in the fi eld of<br />
critical design thinking.

Year 10 – Enterprise and Financial<br />
Literacy Course<br />
Following on from a very successful set of business pitches at<br />
the end of last term, over 120 Year 10 students were selected<br />
to develop their enterprising ideas. They will be working in<br />
groups to create a product or service and sell their efforts at<br />
a school Market Day on Friday 1st June. There will be an<br />
extensive range of products available to purchase and the<br />
students are looking forward to selling to fellow students and<br />
teachers. Parents are invited to attend in order to support<br />
the event which will run in the school hall on Friday 1st June<br />
between 1.30 and 2.00pm.<br />
Level 1<br />
Level 1 Business Studies students are working hard to create<br />
an enterprising product and writing their own business plans<br />
to support their venture into the business world. This work is<br />
towards an NCEA internal standard. The business plans are<br />
taking shape and the students are working on the elements<br />
of fi nance by raising their own and taking the business risk!<br />
They will also have their products available for sale on the<br />
school Market Day.<br />
Level 3<br />
The Level 3 students have been extremely busy putting<br />
together their business pitch for a panel of dragons at Massey<br />
University. This is part of the Young Enterprise Scheme<br />
where they present their business plan to a panel of judges.<br />
The projects they are working on include: an innovative<br />
gluestick by Sector Solutions; The Waste Wizard by Genesis;<br />
A recycled event light by Lumiere; an i-phone application<br />
by Urban App Development; a personalised greeting card<br />
by Inov Corporations and an environmental cushion by<br />
Perpetual Corp. Congratulations go to Sector Solutions<br />
who secured themselves a place in the YES Regional Finals<br />
and we wait to see the results of their efforts.<br />
The students are participating in the YES as part of their<br />
course and are currently writing their full business plans for<br />
their 9 credit internal standard. If you have any business areas<br />
of expertise, especially in the area of Marketing and would<br />
like to support and assist any of our students Mrs Emma<br />
Johnson would be very pleased to hear from you. They are<br />
fi nalising their comprehensive marketing plans and require a<br />
consultant to provide advice for any contingencies they may<br />
need to consider.

Year 12 Physical<br />
Education Camp<br />
This year, 70 Year 12 Physical Education students attended<br />
the PE camp based at Muriwai Beach. While on camp the<br />
students worked towards gaining seven credits towards their<br />
Level 2 Achievement Standards. They were required to lead<br />
an outdoor activity and in doing so demonstrate leadership,<br />
social responsibility and risk management strategies.<br />
This year our camp began with a 10km tramp along the Te Henga<br />
Walkway. This track is part of the Hillary Trail that follows the<br />
coastal cliffs from Bethells Beach along to Muriwai Beach. Many<br />
of the students and staff found this to be a highlight of the trip.<br />
Day two saw the students participate in three main activities,<br />
mountain biking, orienteering and surf survival. It also saw the<br />
start of the rain! On our third and fi nal day students ventured<br />
out to Woodhill Forest where they completed the challenging<br />
Tree <strong>Ad</strong>ventures low and high ropes course.<br />
As well as seeing the students participate in challenging and<br />
fun activities, seeing them setting up their tents and cooking for<br />
themselves was also a highlight.<br />
Despite the constant rain throughout the camp, the students<br />
coped extremely well and can be congratulated in the way they<br />
acted and participated in the various activities during the camp.<br />
Huge thanks must also go the PE staff and additional TGS<br />
teachers who came and helped out during the camp.<br />
We are already looking forward to heading out to Muriwai<br />
again in 2013!<br />
Year 9 Sports Institute<br />
The Year 9 Sport Institute class have been working<br />
hard during the fi rst term. Students have been<br />
learning about Methods of Training in preparation<br />
for the class Triathlon. It has been tough work,<br />
students have felt the ‘deep burn’ and a lot of<br />
perspiration has been sweated out. Students have<br />
learnt valuable ways in order to prep them for the<br />
coming winter sports season.<br />

Waterpolo Nationals<br />
By Max Revill<br />
For the fi rst time in many years a <strong>Takapuna</strong> <strong>Grammar</strong><br />
Waterpolo team qualifi ed for the premier division for<br />
nationals. Eleven <strong>Takapuna</strong> <strong>Grammar</strong> school students<br />
in the senior Boys’ team ventured down to Wellington to<br />
compete in the premier national waterpolo tournament.<br />
The next morning our team travelled to the Kilbirnie<br />
Aquatic Centre, where we went head-to-head against<br />
King’s College and were defeated 5-2 in a well fought game.<br />
A second defeat was to follow, as Westlake Boys’ High<br />
<strong>School</strong> came out all guns blazing and won 13-7, yet a large<br />
number of positives were gained during this high scoring<br />
encounter We triumphed in the six games that followed,<br />
including a thrilling 6-5 win over Palmerston North Boys’<br />
High <strong>School</strong>, which gained us entry into the plate fi nal<br />
against Scots College.<br />
With nerves in our stomachs and winning in our minds, the<br />
TGS Summer Surfi ng Competition <strong>2012</strong><br />
With the promise of 2ft conditions and offshore winds the<br />
TGS Surfi ng group headed out to Muriwai for a 7:30am start<br />
for the annual TGS surfi ng competition. The boys’ side of<br />
the draw was heavily contested with many entries across three<br />
divisions: longboard, Junior Boys’ and Open Men’s. The girls<br />
were absent except for Emma Rzepecky who competed in the<br />
Junior Boys’ division instead and managed to beat the boys<br />
in the repechage round, making Emma the girls’ champion<br />
for summer <strong>2012</strong>. As the tide went out, the surf diminished<br />
and by the semi-fi nal rounds was virtually non-existent. The<br />
decision was made to put the event on hold.<br />
Three days later the event resumed at Forestry, Te Arai in<br />
larger but less clean surf. The Waiheke High <strong>School</strong> ring in,<br />
Harry MacIntosh claimed the Open Men’s division but Tom<br />
Mason claimed both the Junior Boys’ and the Longboard<br />

A special thanks to coach Ben Clarke, who is the key to<br />
the elevation in performance in Waterpolo at <strong>Takapuna</strong><br />

Athletics Day <strong>2012</strong><br />
The weather was kind to us on our annual athletics<br />
day with some sun and cloud which proved just right.<br />
The day started at 7am for many with the setup of each<br />
station, drink preparation and the 1500m run at 8.30am.<br />
All students made their way to their stations and the 35<br />
minute rotations began. The DJ kept the music pumping<br />
throughout the day which was a hit for all involved. At<br />
one point all races seem to come to a halt while a giant<br />
‘Macarena’ dance surrounded the 100m track!<br />
49 students were selected for the North Harbour<br />
Secondary <strong>School</strong>s Athletics. Special thanks must to our<br />
fantastic groundsmen who spend hours on fi eld set up<br />
and assist with the big clean up at the end of the day.<br />
Also to our student Sports’ Council who worked all day in<br />
order to get through the day’s programme.<br />
AKSS Team Tag Triathlon<br />
Rain, wind and slippery conditions welcomed the Auckland<br />

Oldies but Goodies Grace West Side Story Orchestra<br />
West Side Story is a gigantic show in every way, but none<br />
more so than in its music. The score challenges both cardiac<br />
and cognitive systems.<br />
Musical Director, Mr Stent, has assembled an accomplished<br />
orchestra from among the students of TGS but also from<br />
past pupils as well as several talented parents.<br />
When she heard we were doing West Side Story, former<br />
orchestra leader and member of The Trio of Doom, Emily<br />
Bouhuis, insisted on being invited. Mr Stent shoulder tapped<br />
some of our most talented former students. Susannah Jaques<br />
on fl ute, Michael Tidbury on trombone, James Brooke on<br />
electric bass and John McCall on guitar. John pointed out<br />
it is the hardest music he’s had to play. No-one is denying it.<br />
Paddy and Julia Cornfi eld are professional musicians<br />
and bring keyboard (the cello part) and saxophone to the<br />
ensemble. “It’s the only musical I’d do for free,” said Paddy<br />
Cornfi eld. He also doubles as rehearsal pianist when needed.<br />
Our nationally renowned clarinet teacher and director of<br />
the Concert Band, Mr Andrew Uren, takes on the diffi cult<br />
B and E Flat and bass clarinet parts. He currently has a CD<br />
out championing contemporary music for the clarinet. The<br />
Auckland Philharmonia has kindly leant us the instruments.<br />
Several students are playing multiple parts. Holly Griffi n<br />
plays four – fl ute, clarinet, bass clarinet and tenor saxophone.<br />
Gemma Price does fl ute, oboe and cor anglais. Jordan<br />
Griffi th plays clarinet and baritone sax.<br />
Head of Maths, Ms Sam Cooke, picks up the standing bass<br />
and has rediscovered her skill while losing feeling in the<br />
fi ngers of her right hand. She is thrilled and challenged by<br />
the highly layered score.<br />
The orchestra dazzled the cast at the one complete playthrough<br />
before showtime. A number of players are<br />
professional as the parts are simply too diffi cult for students.<br />
Since we have to pay them we don’t train that often with<br />
the pros. We get only 2 rehearsals with the entire orchestra<br />
before we’re on.<br />
But at the play-through, the cast felt like surfers riding the<br />
biggest, bounciest wave. “It’s such a huge sound”, “Sounds<br />
just like the sound track we’ve been singing and dancing to”,<br />
“Sooo cooooool” were some of the responses.“ It was really,<br />
really good” said one clearly overwhelmed student.<br />

Successful High <strong>School</strong> Essay Writing with Dr Ian Hunter<br />
An informative evening for parents<br />
and students.<br />
NZ educator and best-selling author Dr<br />
Ian Hunter, will deliver an interactive and<br />
engaging evening on essay writing for<br />
students and parents. In the 60-minute<br />
workshop, students and parents are taken<br />
step-by-step through the essay-writing<br />
process. The evening offers parents and<br />
students a chance to raise questions in<br />
an open forum with practical advice<br />
to improve their writing performance.<br />
Attendance Matters<br />
If your son/daughter is going to be absent from<br />
school, please notify the school that day by phoning<br />
489 4167, press to report an absence or by emailing a.soh@<br />
takapuna.school.nz. If you leave a voicemail message, a<br />
follow up note is required for the school’s records. This<br />
would greatly assist the Deans when following up absences.<br />
Similarly, if your son/daughter needs to sign out during<br />
the day for any reason, she/he needs to bring a note and<br />
get an Exeat slip from SSC (during form period, interval<br />
or lunch) which she/he will then show the class teacher at<br />
the time of departure. Any departure from school during<br />
the day for reasons of ill health must be done through<br />
the school nurse in the Health Centre. It is unhelpful for<br />
us when students contact their parents directly in this<br />
situation.<br />
It is important that these procedures are followed for<br />
reasons of Health and Safety and to comply with Ministry<br />
of Education requirements.<br />
Thank you for your support in this.<br />
The presentation covers essay planning<br />
techniques, tips for getting started, how to<br />
write an A+ or Excellence essay, how to<br />
interpret questions, writing introductions,<br />
mastering exam essays, using evidence<br />
more effectively and much more.<br />
This evening will be held in the school<br />
hall on June the 13th, at the conclusion<br />
of the senior parent interviews. The<br />
presentation will start at 7:30p.m. All<br />
<strong>Takapuna</strong> <strong>Grammar</strong> <strong>School</strong> parents<br />
and students are welcome to attend.
