Māngere College - 2020 1

The Principal's Report

Well, what a year 2020 has

been! Who could have

foreseen that we would

be here at the end of the

year with a pandemic still

affecting many parts of

the world, having lived

through two lockdowns

and for us to have faced

the many challenges

that have been thrown

at us. I am immensely

proud of our whole school

community and how

we have risen to these

challenges together.

2020 marks my 5th year at Māngere

College and I love my job now just as

much as when I started - probably

even more so. The students and staff

at this school work hard to improve

what we do each day and have a

strong bond with each other, what

we call the MC Family, and I am

humbled to be a part of this family.

Our school strengths of support and

kindness have been highlighted this

year more than ever and brought us

through some tough times but also

brought us closer together.

I am more excited about the future

for Māngere College now than ever

before - to be able to build on these

strengths and prepare our students

for their futures.

COVID and lockdowns have taught

us many things and have magnified

differences and highlighted

inequalities in our communities

but they have also created

opportunities.

The arrival of laptops from the

Ministry gave us the ability to

provide all of our senior students

with a device at home and have set

us up with a base to work on in the

future - to ensure all our students

have access to online learning at

home in this digital era.

We have seen the advantage of

online learning but returning

to school after lockdown also

highlighted the connections that we

all thrive on. Coming back together

gave us an appreciation of our

students’ need to be connected to

each other and their teachers.

It was the focus and sense of

urgency that our students had

when they returned to school that

really impressed me and their

resilience shone through this year.

Our Wellbeing focus and our

work with the Toko collaboration

has gained more relevance and

importance this year. We know that

students’ well-being is taken care

of when they have a strong sense

of their own identity, language and

culture. When they can connect

strongly with other people and

important places and when they

feel a control over their education

and feel equipped with the skills to

succeed. These are things that we

focus on at Māngere College this

year more than ever.

We have continued to work closely

with local schools in our Community

of Learning - the Māngere Kahui

Ako. The goals of our Kahui Ako

align strongly with what we want

for our students: to be digitally

competent and equipped to face

the future, to have a strong sense of

their own education pathway and a

feeling of control over their destiny

and to be strong in their own wellbeing.

Our future is exciting with a 50th

Jubilee to celebrate next year and

significant property development

to plan for. But we are not waiting

for new buildings to make changes.

This year we have started with a

curriculum review to ensure that our

curriculum is engaging and relevant

for our students. We have focussed

on improving our mentoring and

guidance of students to support

them to reach their goals and on

monitoring their progress more

closely with the use of up to date

data.

The housing developments in the

area point to the growth we will

see in the school over the next few

years and we have started talks

with the Ministry about property

developments. Our challenge as we

move forward is to keep our strong

values and connections as we grow

and change.

The strength of Māngere College is

in its people - staff, students and our

community.

Kei te tika te korero

He aha te mea nui o te ao?

He tangata! He tangata! He

tangata!

‘The strength

of Māngere

College is in

its people -

staff, students

and our

community.’

Jonathan’s beginnings at Māngere College

have been a little different than usual. After only 2 days we went into Level

supportive everyone has been in the past few months he has worked at

Ka kite anō au i a koutou

This year we said goodbye to our Deputy

Principal, Keir Whipp, as he started his new

position at Botany Downs Secondary College.

KEIR WHIPP

Keir began at Māngere College in 2017 as he intended to

go on giving his best for the school community. During

lockdown you could see him in the background of TV

clips working up to the last minute sorting out devices

and workbooks for students. His calm, thoughtful and

highly supportive leadership will be truly missed both

by students and staff. Keir was a rare person who is ever

cheerful and looking to improve in everything he does.

He crafted the complex arrangements needed for the

whole school always putting students and staff before

his own needs. We look forward to this link with Botany

College and to sharing these ideas and connections for

our students.


DEBRA PENE

Debra Pene has left Māngere

College after 12 years as the STAR

and GATEWAY co-ordinator. She

gave students the opportunity to

gain workplace experience while

also achieving credits from on-thejob

learning.

of trades courses while getting a boost

towards completing NCEA level 2 or 3.

She was Year 13 Dean for 5 years and

was able to use her skills to build and

support very effective student leader

teams.

Many students benefited from her

encouragement and care as they

completed their work placement,

gained first aid certificates,

forklift licences, confidence in the

workplace, knowledge of their future

career choices and motivation.

Debra Pene also managed the

students doing courses at Manukau

Institute of Technology. The

opportunities for the students

increased because of her drive to

get the best for them. Many of our

senior students were able to attend

MIT and build an understanding

Students and staff have appreciated

Mrs Pene’s professional and realistic

approach. Whether it was teaching

Career Development, arranging a

Careers Expo, supporting students

who needed CV’s or knowledge of

their career pathways, everything Mrs

Pene did was to advance student’s

confidence, achievement and choices.

She has moved into a job where she will

continue to use her energy and skills to

support help create career pathways for

young people.

We wish her well in this endeavor and

for her future.

LEMOA HENRY SEVESI FESULUA’I

In Term 1 we sadly said farewell

to Mr Fesulua’i. Unfortunately

due to the Covid Lockdown we

were unable to farewell him

properly at the time but we had

a staff farewell in June. It was

a beautiful celebration with

sharing of gifts, ie toga from

Lemoa’s aiga, speeches and

some dancing.

Lemoa had been teaching for

almost one year when he joined

the Māngere College staff in 2009.

His teaching subjects are Gagana

Samoa and English. Throughout

his time at MC, Lemoa was highly

committed to engaging the

students in their learning. Some of

the highlights for him have been the

MC Malaga to Samoa, leading the

Samoan group during Polyfest with

many wins, the gardening activities

during the Wider Living week and

seeing the students achieving

excellent knowledge of the Samoan

language and culture.

He is leaving Māngere College to

take up a position of Professional

Teaching Fellow / Lecturer in Pacific

Studies (Samoan) at the University

of Auckland. We wish him all the

best and know that the University

of Auckland will benefit highly from

his knowledge and experience.

Lemoa will be greatly missed by our

students and staff.

Kuldip began at Māngere

College 16 years ago as the

Science Laboratory Technician.

le Atua le malosi ma le atamai e

He brought a wealth of knowledge

along with him as he had

previously been a Principal at a

high school in Fiji as well as having

vast experience in the laboratory.

Kuldip has been a valued member

of the Science Department. He was

always willing to help staff in the

classroom and out of the classroom

as well as supporting students with

their science work and coming

along to the field trips.

Kuldip has left MC to head into

retirement. We wish him all the

best for the next chapter of his life.


Haere rā e te piki kōtuku,

Jocelyn Maitland

On the 11th of November,

two days before her 78th

birthday and two years into

her retirement, Jocelyn passed

away peacefully at home with

her family.

We remember Jocelyn for her

dedication and commitment to this

kura. In her four decades working in

the office at Māngere College she

supported every principal from Ivan

Armstrong, the founding principal,

to Tom Webb, our current principal.

Jocelyn was renowned for her

knowledge of school protocols and

procedures and made sure we all

knew what to do and when.

Always at her desk by 7am she

would start her day putting things

in place so that our day would run

as smoothly as possible. Whether it

be clearing messages and sending

us important information, doing

mountains of photocopying,

organising the school vans for

trips out or greeting visitors at the

reception counter, she was ‘onto it’.

Ex-students coming to enrol their

own children would be surprised

and reassured to see Jocelyn’s

familiar face as their first point of

contact.

Jocelyn’s daughters were both

educated at Māngere College. Like

their mother they have shown

dedication to this school – Louise

is the current tuckshop manager

and both Stephanie and Louise are

assisting with preparations for our

50th Jubilee next year. We offer

them and their families our sincere

sympathy. Their loss is ours.

Jocelyn was a constant in our lives.

She gave her best years to us and for

that we are most grateful.

Nō reira e te whaea, haere atu ki

a ratou mā kua taka i te nuku o te

whenua i mua i a koe.

Kia hora te marino, kia whakapapa

pounamu te moana, kia tere te

kaarohirohi i tō haerenga.

Kia hora te marino, kia whakapapa

pounamu te moana, kia tere te

kaarohirohi i tō haerenga.

'Jocelyn was

a constant in

our lives. She

gave her best

years to us

and for that

we are most

gratefuly.'


Head Girl’s Report

Ae oute le’i asaina le nata i fale o aana lea na pisia ai

vae o le nofoa fia o Lilomaiava, e ao ina ou faatulou.

Tulou, tulou, tulouna lava. Lulu atu outou paia ma outou

mamalu o le a le o’o iai se faamatalaga.

O a’u o Herilla Victoria Salu Finauga,

oute mimita lava i lo’u aganu’u ma

lo’u gagana.

First and foremost, all the glory and

praise be to the Most High, who has

blessed me beyond measure.

Four years ago I entered the front

gates, scared, isolated and extremely

nervous. It is difficult to describe

what has been a rollercoaster of

a journey for us all. Whether you

arrived at the very start of Year

9 or joined us along the way -

undoubtedly our experiences have

brought us together as a family.

The class of 2020. What a year this

has been for us. Thank you everyone

for your patience and perseverance

throughout the year. Despite

COVID 19 being in the way of many

opportunities and activities, we

managed to fight through it and

created the most memorable year

for us all.

I have overcome a lot of barriers

this year, and I am proud to say that

due to the unconditional lectures

and daily prayers from my parents,

the support system from my family,

I was able to complete the year

as your Head Girl of 2020. A goal

that I had aimed for, and now have

achieved.

My fellow students of Māngere

College, it does not matter whether

you’re academically skilful or

physically skilful or both. Believe

in yourself and have a positive

mindset. Make careful choices,

so that your choices will reflect

positively on yourself and the course

of your actions will take you further

in life. The teachers at this school

have helped me grow into the

person I am today and for that, I am

very grateful. The Māngere College

family has helped me strengthen

my cultural values and embrace my

talents.

There are so many of you I would

like to give credit to, for making

this journey a memorable one. You

have shaped and moulded me

into the bold person I am today. I

acknowledge my subject teachers

who pushed me to the limit, to

complete assessments and made

sure I went home with a bulk of

homework to do. Also, to my friends

who motivated me to run for Head

Girl, and always complimented my

mum’s tuna sandwiches, thank you

for being by my side.

Thank you Mr Webb for believing

in me and trusting me as your

Head Girl for 2020. Thank you Mrs

Ah Sam. A mother figure to us all,

a matriarch to the school and an

influential woman at heart. You

continue to inspire me and always

push me beyond limits. Mālo Le

tautua Mama.

Thank you to all the teachers

at Māngere College who have

supported me through my time and

who continue to be an inspiration

for our students.

Finally, my deepest gratitude to

the two people who believed in

me and invested in my dreams

right from the start. My parents

are my ultimate role models and

my driving force in life. As migrants

from Samoa, they sacrificed their

home to come to New Zealand to

find a better future for me and my

siblings. Because of you, I am who I

am today.

As my final encouragement to our

students, I would like to leave with

you a little thought in mind. No

matter where life takes you, never

forget the sacrifices your parents

made to get you this far in life. The

future belongs to those who are

prepared for it. Set your goals, work

hard to achieve them and continue

to ‘Seek the Heights .’

What a journey it has been this

year. From the moment I walked

through those gates I had no idea of

the family that I was about to join, I

had no idea of the journey that I was

about to begin. Because I walked

through these gates, I was able to

meet new people that I would call

lifelong friends. I was able to hone

my talents and improve greatly in

certain areas of my education.

This school not only exceeded my

expectations but expanded my love

for it during my time here. I was

shown the importance of a school

family and how embracing it is

always better than hiding from it.

Something I will always remember

is the MC values and the message

of a school family that we always

display.

I would like to give a huge thank you

to every teacher that I have had the

pleasure to work with during my

time at MC. You have played a huge

part in my successes. To my dear

parents, you play the biggest role in

my life. You do the most for me and I

am truly grateful for you. At the end

of the day all my accomplishments

reflect on you both and everything

I do is for you. To my beautiful

Mum, thank you for everything. I

will never forget what you say to

me, whether it’s during a car ride

or whether you’re growling at me.

Everything you do for me is always

more than enough. If it weren’t

for your ongoing encouragement,

continuous love and support, I

wouldn’t be the person I am today.

Thank you, Mum.

To all my Year 13s, we made it.

Whether you joined late, or if you

were here at the start, we are all

family now. From singing in pretty

much every class with the boys to

finally performing together, and

from cracking jokes in the hotspot

and anywhere where we could all

laugh as only polys could.

This is the saddest part of our high

school years. The part when we

leave our second home or for some

of us our first. A place where we not

only developed in our education

but evolved as individuals. The place

where the iconic John & the Boyz

was formed, and the home of our

very own Samoan Cowboy. The

memories go on and will live on in

our hearts, but it does not end here.

Be prepared and eager to go out

into the real world and take on the

challenges of life head-on. Always

remember your whys and the

importance of family. At the end of

the day, it is all on us to make our

parents proud and to push ourselves

and strive for what we’re aiming

to achieve. So be ready and don’t

hesitate when the world comes

knocking at your door. It has been

a pleasure being able to endure

through this journey with such a

unique and diverse bunch.

I am grateful for the time I’ve had

with you all and the memories that

we’ve made. From the bottom of my

heart, I wish nothing but love and

support for your future endeavours.

But for now, this is us. So, cheers to

us, the class of 2020.

Student Leaders

The student leaders have been a great example to the rest of the school

this year. With 2020 being such a difficult year, it was great to see our

student leaders stepping up and being so present and visual especially in

the lockdowns.

They have all contributed to the needs of the students, responding

appropriately and with compassion when needed and ensuring everyone

feels part of the MC Whanau.

It has been a pleasure working alongside them this year.

Support Staff

2020 is the Chinese year of

the Rat. The beginnings

of an auspicious year and

one to show strength of

personality as revealed

throughout the year.

The return excitement after the long

hot summer was met with energy

and enthusiasm as staff re-united

again with colleagues and students.

The keenness and eagerness of staff

to support the new Year 9 intake

journey and the continuance of

work with the returning students a

year older was positively telling.

The successes of the school and

ultimately student achievements

are celebrated by support staff. They

were there, they were involved, they

supported, and they contributed to

the student’s pathway of learning.

Support staff contribute towards

meeting the school’s strategic

objectives which include

■ extra learning support assisting

students to achieve their goals

■ supporting students for gateway

experience and identifying

pathways options for career

opportunities

■ options and assistance to

embrace and overcome

language challenges and cultural

barriers in a new country and

adjusting to school life

■ widening different learning

opportunities to engage in

alternative education

■ providing expert and specialised

support in a healthcare model

for mental, physical, emotional

wellbeing

■ delivering a safe and connected

learning environment through IT

and property needs

■ keeping updated information


and links through the school

website, facebook and instagram

■ safe management of hazardous

chemicals and walking the talk

on health and safety

■ supporting green fingers and

benefitting from the school

garden

“It takes a village (our school) to raise

a child (our students and leaders of

the future)”. Support staff are part

of that village who walk alongside

teaching staff led by the school

leadership team who help to shape

students’ learning potential to excel.

Bang! – Covid19 and lockdown, a

100-year event that took everyone

by surprise. The impact of this

significant health phenomenon

on students, staff and the wider

community, the country, the world

was nothing anyone expected to

experience.

Fast-tracked into a realm of

technology-based solutions saw

students learning from home,

teachers engaging in virtual

classrooms. Using the cloud, google

classrooms and other tools to

help maintain and engage in ongoing

learning from the comfort

of home was a new experience

for many. Support staff assisted

teachers and students to maintain

a connected home learning

environment. Administration staff

coordinated responses to a barrage

of community enquiries and made

learning resources available.

As the pandemic set in, Support

staff forums moved online.

Technology fast-tracked everyone

to engage and work differently. The

normality of usual day to day school

life was challenging.

Online connections became a

melting pot of blurred and frozen

images and robotic voices. Good

humour, patience and kindness

helped us maintain sanity. The

support staff forums have

benefitted staff with professional

development and strengthened the

group network.

Sadly, we farewelled the following

staff during the year

■ Science Technician Kuldip Singh

left us in Term 2 after more than

10+ years

■ Nurse Roman Cabilla who was

relieving for Erin Hunt was

farewelled in Term 3

■ Teacher Aide Carmel-Maria

Savaiinaea left in Term 4 to

pursue a pathway to teaching

We welcomed new support staff

■ Kylie Franklin the new office

receptionist

■ Sarita Narayan the Science Lab

Technician

■ A welcome back to Nurse Erin

Hunt returning from maternity

leave

A special acknowledgement to the

many school volunteers supporting

the Sports Department, uniform

and stationery shop and the school

garden. Their commitment to our

school has been invaluable.

The year has now ended, and the

major disruptions almost seem

to be past us, however the work

continues for admin staff behind

the scenes completing end of

year processes with planning and

preparations for the new year.

Thank you to all support staff

and the work you do – it makes a

difference.

Season’s greetings and a prosperous

New Year.

- Helen Faamoe

SCHOOL

ACTIVITIES


OUR LIBRARY

Despite the challenges 2020 brought, the library did not

fail to be a safe and peaceful haven for students. Our

library family consists of 54 students and is constantly

increasing as we have new and existing students of

the college eager to become librarians. The existing

librarians also upgraded their skills by completing their

modules.

Throughout this year there have

been various events celebrated

in our library such as the cultural

language weeks. Like every year,

with the help of various teaching

staff and students, Mrs Kumar

dressed up the mannequins in

traditional costumes according

to the various language weeks

celebrated in school this year as well.

The library also hosted Matariki

celebrations where students learned

how to make shapes and objects

with strings.

students in the club.

Our library also plays an essential

role in appealing to our potential

students. Each year we have

students from various schools

come in to experience first-hand all

that Māngere College has to offer.

This year Māngere East, Bader and

Viscount visited the library and got

to experience the opportunities and

services our library has to offer. Our

treasure of books was one of the

main highlights.

Being a student librarian unlocks

various hidden potential in students,

and serves to give back to our

community. Not only does it build

our confidence and skills, it also

provides a sense of belonging, bond

and friendship between fellow

librarians and the entire student

body.

It has been a rewarding and

memorable year and I am sure our

library family will work together to

make the coming years even better

than the last.

- Shivashna Raj 12HS

The Tongan language week was

especially memorable, as Māngere

College was graced with a visit from

David Riley, the author of Rise of To’a

(who also happens to be an ex MC

student). Ms Alisi Tatafu was the coauthor

of this book. The visit made

students of the college motivated to

indeed seek the heights and realise

the importance of books in our lives.

The library also hosts Scholars’

Club twice a week. This club

assists students to complete their

assessments, homework and study

for difficult exams. Our friendly and

helpful teachers make beverages

and snacks for the hardworking

Refugee Activities

REFUGEE BIG DAY OUT

Going out on the Refugee

Big Day Out was the best

opportunity for the students to

meet new students of Māngere

College and get to know each

other better.

We played lots of different

Icebreaker games, introducing

names with favourite body actions.

We also talked about our future

goals and how to achieve them,

which was so fun. We also really

enjoyed the different variety of

foods at lunch. Thanks to RASNZ

(Refugee as Survivors New

Zealand) who were there with us

students and made the day more

special for the refugees.

For every refugee, Māngere

College is the best place they

could wish to come to because we

celebrate World Refugee Day with

honour and love. I would like to

say a big thanks to you all for your

support.

- Madina Salem Khel

2020 RASNZ

AWARDS

RASNZ held an awards evening at

the Refugee Resettlement Centre,

to acknowledge and thank those

who have made an exceptional

contribution to resettled

REFUGEE CAREERS DINNER

During Term 4 we held our annual Refugee Careers Dinner in

the Staff Room at Māngere College.

There were speakers from MIT, AUT and University of Auckland who gave

our refugee students a slide show presentation and were able to help

inform students of various University programmes, scholarships and

enrolment information.

The families were all given a supermarket voucher to buy ingredients

towards a plate food representing their culture.


GARDENING CLUB

Every Wednesday after school,

there is an active group of refugee

students and other staff and

students who plant, weed and get

to take home vegetables to their

whanau. The club is led by Rosalie

Kwan and we also have volunteer

Metua Aerenga tending to the

garden and supporting our students

to get the best possible outcome

from their gardening. Everyone is

welcome to join!

WORLD REFUGEE WEEK:

WHAT DOES THE WORD REFUGEE

MEAN TO YOU?

People around the world are marking World Refugee

Day on June 20, 2020.

Every year, millions of people are

forced to flee from their homes

in order to keep safe from war,

persecution or natural disaster.

Those who have to leave their

country are called refugees. The

International World Refugee Day

aims to raise awareness of this issue,

which affects millions of people

across the world.

The latest figures from the United

Nations (UN) suggest that every

minute, around 25 people have to

leave everything behind in search of

a safer life.

It is a time to acknowledge the

strength and courage of millions of

people who have been forced to flee

their homes.


From Friends to Foes:

HOW TWO MĀNGERE COLLEGE OLD BOYS MADE IT

AS RUGBY PROS

Wallabies centre

Oikoumene “Hunter”

Paisami and All Blacks

prop Ofa Tu’ungafasi both

hail from Māngere College

and the pair returned to

school in term 4 this year.

“We really appreciate them coming

back and showing what hard work

and strong values can get you.” says

principal Tom Webb.

Paisami and Tu’ungafasi know each

well off the field, as Paisami is good

friends with Tu’ungafasi’s younger

brother and often stays with the

family when he returns to New

Zealand. Even though Tu’ungafasi

left high school three years before

Paisami began, he says the

accomplished Blues and All Blacks

prop was an inspiration growing up.

“He would always say it doesn’t

matter what school you go to

because you can make it from

anywhere. Given he has been able

to make it out of Māngere College

to the Super Rugby and All Blacks

level, I’ve always looked up to him.”

Both players shared with the pupils

the challenges they’ve overcome to

make it into professional rugby. For

Paisami, he says moving to Australia

in Year 12 and having to make new

friends and learn a new culture was

tough. While he quickly made it into

the Australian school boys team,

his career hit a crossroads when he

was cut by the Melbourne Rebels

squad in 2018. However, he was able

to catch the eye of former All Blacks

lock and Reds coach Brad Thorne,

and within a short period of time

he’s become a consistent figure for

his new team.

rugby career, as it has taught him

the importance of hard work and

taking nothing for granted. He says

his main inspiration was seeing how

hard his own parents worked.

“I had 12 siblings, and my dad was

the only one working to support

us, so life was pretty tough. When

I started at Māngere College, I

couldn’t speak any English, but

I remember sitting in assembly

thinking I want to get to the end of

my time here and be able to give a

speech to all the students – and I’ve

done that. I believe anyone else can

achieve what they want if they work

hard and believe in themselves.”

Māngere College head girl Herilla

Salu says having two successful

Pasifika former pupils share their

journey had a big impact on her and

her peers.

“Knowing they’ve come from

the same background as us can

definitely inspire us – and as Year

13s who are leaving school soon and

having to decide what we’re going

to be doing in our future, it can

motivate us to believe in ourselves

and go for what we dream of doing.”

Spinoff

Tu’ungafasi says being from a

smaller public school has been the

best foundation for his professional

chosen to participate in the

Duke of Edinburgh Award

with Shannon Bentermen, our

award leader from the Blue

Light organisation. Through

this journey of self-discovery, we

were pushed to our limits and

recognised our own personal

achievements. To complete this

award we had to learn a new

skill, volunteer service to others,

and take part in physical activity.

There is also an adventurous

journey camp where we did

outdoor activities. The biggest

challenge we faced was hiking

up Mt Tauhara that took us a

total of three hours. The Duke

of Edinburgh Award is a great

opportunity for students to break

out of their comfort zone and

try new things to enhance their

personal potential.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD:

TEACHER EXPERIENCE

We headed to Mt Tauhara to

begin our adventurous journey.

We challenged ourselves to be

responsible, caring for other

members of our group and we

pushed each other to hike that

winding and sometimes narrow and

steep trail. The total distance was a

2.5 km climb to the summit at 1088

metres. This experience helped us to

improve our health and fitness.

We got out of our comfort zone

and completed the hike to the

summit, taking in the breath-taking

panoramic view.

The next day we hiked from Taupo

township to Spa Park along the

riverbank of the Waikato River to

Huka Falls for lunch. We had to to

complete challenges on the way

and took the opportunity to develop

self-confidence and teamwork skills.

to develop self-confidence and

teamwork skills.

We all accepted the challenge and

made it to the end of the journey!

MC Media

This is the second year of the MC Media club running

at MC. Covid-19 slowed down some of the MC Media

activities, but we were still able to capture many

exciting school events. We had some new students

join the group and learn some technical skills and

gain some media exposure. Looking forward to some

exciting things happening in 2021 – watch this space!

MĀNGERE CANDIDATE

DEBATE

On July 31, there was a Māngere

Candidate Debate in the Māngere

Town Centre in preparation for the

2020 Election.

Olathe Taumihau, Mele Tuakalau

and PJ Campbell from Māngere

College were invited as part of MC

Media to speak to the four local

candidates and ask them questions

relating to the youth of Māngere.

The candidates were Labour’s

Aupito Su’a William Sio, National’s

Agnes Loheni, the Greens’ Reverend

Peter Sykes and Fuiavailili Ala’ilima

from the New Conservatives Party.

The students did an exceptional job

with some challenging questions

directed at the candidates.

Awesome work!

PERFORMING ARTS

SHOWCASE

After being postponed twice, our

Performing Arts Showcase was

finally able to go ahead on Monday

28th and Tuesday 29th September,

in the school holidays. The Showcase

was an awesome celebration for

our school with singing, dancing,

spoken word and drama. MC Media

had a crew of 6 students who

helped to photograph and film the

event. Thank you to Alec Ah-Lam,

O-Shay Murphy, Tavake Kamana,

Makeleta Alofaki, Anne Tupou

and Tala Senifo who all worked

hard to capture the amazing

performances. Check out the photos

Arts Youtube channel.

AUCKLAND BALLERS

WORKSHOP

Some of the Auckland Ballers visited

school during term 4 to document

our senior basketball students.

They let MC Media students Mele

Tu’akalau, Makeleta Alofaki, Tavake

Kamana and Anne Tupou use the

cameras and gave them some

quick tutorials on how to handle

the professional gear. It was such

a great learning experience for

the MC Media students who came

away really excited about the media

industry with also the possibility of

further connections, part-time work

or apprentice type training.

The group that came through

included Seth Siope, Matavai

Taulangau and Reagan Butler who

are all professionals in the media

industry and are mostly from South

Auckland.

Rise of the To’a:

BOOK LAUNCH

During Tongan Language Week, Year 9 Dean and Social Sciences teacher, Alisi Tatafu

launched her new book ‘Rise of the To’a’ alongside co-auther David Riley.

David is an alumni MC student, so launching the book at the school and in our school library seemed the perfect fit.

‘Rise of the To’a’ is about the Mate Ma’a Tonga League team, and was written to inspire our Pasifica youth to overcome

their challenges just as the MMT team did to win the Rugby World Cup in 2017.

Well done to Ms Tatafu, what an awesome achievement!


Ngā Rangatahi Toa

This year has seen us

have some amazing

opportunities where there

haven’t been any before!

We have grown, we have adapted

and we continue to respond to the

needs of our rangatahi and whānau.

While our landscape changed,

so have we. We remained agile,

open and continued processing

in real time. Throughout this year

we planned to fail and shoot those

gaps when windows would open

up where we could be together

and connect. This has enabled

us to reach some phenomenal

achievements alongside our

Māngere College students.

Here are some highlights from the

year:

■ Online workshops in Level 4 & 3

■ Creation of our haka

■ Base FM internships

■ performing at We love Aotearoa

■ Wassup at 10am project

■ Auckland Live workshop week

■ Fresh Movement and creative

artist workshops

■ Allpress Coffee barista training

■ Fresh new students for 2020/2021

■ 3 new rangatahi leaders in paid

employment with us

Toko Hauora

MANAWA WHENUA

HAUORA PROGRAMME

The 2020 Manawa Whenua Hauora programme began with

breakfasts for all year levels in Term 1, providing a platform for

students to connect with each other, their form teachers and

other staff as MC family at the beginning of the school year.

The advent of the Covid 19

pandemic with two lockdowns

affected how things were organised.

During lockdowns, the Toko team

ran a series of online workshops for

both staff and students covering

such topics as Keeping Connected,

Dealing with Emotions, Coping

with Stress, Mindfulness, Resilience

and Identity. They also supported

Ms Elizabeth Tupua, the school’s

wellbeing coordinator, by providing

prizes for her lockdown challenges.

Once the lockdowns were lifted,

workshops continued in the

auditorium on Wednesdays after

school, and guest speakers included

Māngere College’s very own Mr Mike

Darragh and Mr Paul Campbell.

Prior to school re-opening, the

Toko Collaboration Charitable Trust

collaborated with Māngere College’s

Hauora team to produce a video

that reassured students they were

welcome back, would be safe in

Alert Level 2 and that looking after

their wellbeing would help them

cope and build resilience.

The Manawa Whenua Hauora

programme has gone from strength

to strength with a Toko leadership

training day held in the first week

of the July school holidays for its

leaders. This was a very successful

joint venture with the NZ Defence

Force and the Māori wardens. A new

Manawa Whenua Hauora badge

was designed by Matua Maehe

Nuku and presented to students

at a Parents’ Fono in October. New

wellbeing awards for prizegiving

were also set in place for the

Manawa Whenua Hauora leaders.

It is very pleasing to see these

young leaders develop and grow

in confidence and leadership, and

the Toko Collaboration Charitable

Trust would like to wholeheartedly

thank all the staff and parents for

supporting the students in this

programme.

DEPARTMENTS


Achievement Centre

Tasi Limoni started at the Ambury School for Riding in 2019 – a partnered approach

to helping him achieve in both his learning and in life. After an unsettled start, Tasi

soon became an inspirational leader among his peers and a pillar of respect and

responsibility. Adding to this, Tasi mastered the art of riding and caring for the

horses.

This year with the recommendation

of the Principal and staff at Ambury,

Tasi attended an Automotive

class at the Manukau Institute

of Technology (MIT), in what was

only to be a two-week trial. Oneweek

in, Tasi was accepted into

the full Automotive Course at

MIT. From successfully stringing

paragraphs together and solving

math problems in the Learning

Centre, to cooking and baking in

the Achievement Centre, through

to riding and tending to horses

at Ambury…Tasi is now a full-time

student at MIT. Congratulations

Tasi.

This has been quite the year for

everyone. Even with the Covid19

lockdowns, students in the

Achievement Centre qualified for

their learners licenses, participated

in cultural performances for

language weeks and public

events, taught Year 7 and Year 8

students sports skills, went on work

experience and first aid courses and

were even named in the school’s 1st

XV Rugby team. We acknowledge

Jeremiah Falanaipupu and Nathan

Taufahema who were named in

the team for 2020. Nathan was also

appointed as co-captain.

We are also extremely proud of

Violetta Langi and Nathan for taking

a leap outside their comfort zones

to submit applications to become

Student Leaders. Nathan was

successful and will be a Student

Leader in 2021. The mere fact they

applied, is a huge achievement.

The Mamba Mentality (introduced

and made famous by the late L.A

Lakers and NBA great, Kobe Bryant)

means “to be on a constant quest

to try be better today than you were

yesterday”. This has been our ACH

focus for 2020. We’re ACHIEVING IT

every single day.

- Hermann Arp


Art: Hermon Mani

Hermon Mani has clearly

demonstrated his creative

powers this year, excelling

in the Art disciplines of

painting and printmaking

at NCEA level 2.

He came into his own when helping

with the tutoring of the year 8

groups from neighbouring schools

for our Open Week, being able to

confidently demonstrate skills and

communicate ideas. Hermon is

from the Cook Islands and has been

in New Zealand since he was in year

9.

Business Department

2020 was a very unusual year for everyone. Though we

planned to do so many school trips, COVID-19 stopped

us. Our Accounting, Economics and Business students

were to travel to Wellington, so instead a virtual outing

was organised to help them complete their course

work, to gain their NCEA credits.

the Regional Final Award and the

Excellence in Sustainability Award.

The students in this business group:

Herilla Salu, Miraclerena Tuta, Liona

Vailea, Cynthia Misi, Joell Fuimaonu

and Esther Siaki.

The Year 11 and 12 Business groups

were able to carry out their market

days successfully, selling food that

had been prepared by students and

making a profit.

Our Year 13 business students had

a successful year with their creative

ventures. One of the groups called

‘Handy Mates’’ created fruit and

veggie bags out of donated Air

New Zealand head rest covers.

The students made the product,

advertised it and sold them

successfully. Led by Herilla Salu,

Cynthia Misi, MIraclerena Tuta, Joell

Fuimaono, Liona Vailea and Esther

Siaki, they were selected to present

in the final round of an almost

“Dragon’s Den-like” pitch at Young

Enterprise Studies, resulting in an

overwhelming win. They will be

awarded a prize for their fantastic

work with a sustainable product.

The second Year 13 business group,

‘Corona Busters’, was led by Olathe

and they produced masks which

helped to prevent the spread of

COVID-19. While the lockdowns

hindered the profit margins, they

had first-hand knowledge on how to

run a business in a difficult scenario.

Young Enterprise Studies Auckland

South Awards

In term 4, our Y13 Business students

won 3 awards at the Young

Enterprise Studies (YES) South

Department has had a successful

year considering nationwide and

global challenges.


Careers at

Māngere College

Kia ora and warm Pacific greetings to you all. I am Ms Karanga

and 2020 was my first full year at Māngere College, in charge of the

Careers Department, and what a whirlwind year it has been.

We coped through two lockdowns, which threw all our plans for

work experience out the window and into the unknown.

Mrs Reade stepped up into the

position of Star and Gateway

Coordinator like a boss, and worked

miracles around the Auckland area.

She has undertaken a mammoth

job, vacated by Mrs Pene who

resigned last year. Mrs Reade, along

with Mrs Kwan and Mrs Akhlaqi has

helped us numerous times with our

students’ needs in Careers, and I

would like to acknowledge them for

their efforts.

Careers would not cope without our

awesome teacher Mrs Nu’usavili,

she has worked wonders in our

career programme ensuring that

all students reach their highest

capabilities. I am glad to announce

she has become a permanent

member of our team and will help

facilitate again in 2021. “Faafetai tele

faiaoga”.

VOCATIONAL PATHWAYS

In Vocational Pathways the boys

have had an opportunity to attend

various training institutes around

Auckland and develop different

skill sets. This year has seen them

journey them from MIT, to KIWA in

Papakura, to Vision College in East

Tamaki and to On Demand Logistics

in Manurewa, to work experience in

Waiuku, and to complete their driver

licensing, forklift licences, and Site

Safe certificates.

We would like to acknowledge the

work of Mr Perks, and Mr Aviga from

Manurewa High School who helped

us bring our students into these

amazing opportunities.

Also, to Ms Sarah Redmond from

ARA who has done a fantastic job,

organising our school to be given

these life changing opportunities.

STONE CARVING WORKSHOP

During Māori Language week,

we were able to secure ABSCA,

Aotearoa Bone and Stone Carving

Academy to come and hold a

workshop for our young Rangatahi

at Māngere College. This is the

first time we have been able to do

this, and Whaea Arihana was able

to share in this experience with

our students. Mr Maha Tomo, is

the carver who also came with his

partner to present and facilitate

our students. This workshop will be

available again in 2021.


Throughout the Careers classes

we have had some outstanding

students who have in one year

completed Level 2 and 3 in 2020,

which has allowed them to focus on

a sixth subject in 2021. I would like to

also mention a massive thank you

to all the students who have made

the next step forward in their Hikoi/

Malaga/Journey into tertiary studies.

CAREERS EXPO

The Careers Expo on July 31st

allowed students to see what was on

offer in the wide world. 2021’s Expo

will be bigger and more focussed

on industry, apprenticeships and

Universities, so watch this space.

Māngere College has had some

fantastic students accepted all

over the beautiful country of

Aotearoa, into universities and

training institutes that will enable

them to work towards their dream

degrees and careers. Massive

congratulations to those of you

who were successful in securing

scholarships and placements at our

top Universities.

There will be some students who

are still planning their future and

have joined the ARA expo which will

happen on the 12th of November.

These students will have been

bridged into permanent work by

this day but have been working

hard to gain the licences and tickets

in training for their employment

sector.

Scholarship planning for 2021

students in Year 12: this is the year

that you will need to aim for those

Merits and Excellences in your

subjects, this will help you apply

for University scholarships in 2022.

Tertiary study is all about planning

and working towards a common

goal of personal achievement.

On a final note to all students who

want that dream career, plan and

commit to seek the heights of

personal achievement, and believe

in yourself!

“He Mahi Tahi Tatou Mo Te Oranga

Katoa”.

We should work together for the

wellbeing of everyone.

HOW I BECAME THE SAMOAN COWBOY

Hi, my name is Reupena

Luamanu Kilipati and I am

a country singer and the

MC Samoan Cowboy.

I was born and raised in Samoa.

When I was little, I started singing

everyday especially when I would go

to the plantation to work. It made

working fun. When I finished work,

I would take a break and naturally

begin singing to myself. I had a little

bit of a country twang and I thought

to myself how amazing it was

because I felt that God had given

me a gift and I had recognised it. I

began to sing at church in the choir

and solo. This is where I was able

to get a lot of experience and over

time, I began to create my own style.

My voice was always strong, but it

began to develop more and more.

As I grew it seemed so did my voice.

I’ve always been appreciative of it

because it is a blessing from God.

In Samoa I had dreams of recording

my music, but it seemed impossible

to me. It wasn’t until I moved

to New Zealand that I began to

see a way of turning my dreams

into reality. At Māngere College,

I took music. It has always been

my passion and my number one

subject at school. I think that it

was the first step in my journey. I

began to become more confident

in myself. During this time, I started

playing around with music with

my friends and sometimes we

recorded ourselves on our phones

and uploaded these to youtube so

that we could share our music with

a wider audience. It was fun, but I

still wanted to do something more

professional.

I was thinking about recording a

cover of the song called ‘Trying to

get over you’ by Vince Gill because I

loved the lyrics and melody. I wasn’t

sure how to go about it, so I talked

to the music teachers to see if they

could help. They suggested we

record it at school. The equipment

wasn’t state of the art, but I think we

got a pretty good recording. After

getting the soundtrack down I was

thinking of making a music video

for it. I felt so inspired to make it

happen that I discussed it with Ms

Emily. She suggested that we could

film it at Ambury Farm. I asked my

best friend to help me out. She

agreed to act for me in the video.

The song is about a relationship. His

girl moves on and he sings to her

about all the things that they were

promised from the stars. The words

of the song are so powerful to me

because I feel the emotions of the

song when I sing it. The video was

fun and difficult to produce all at the

same time. We incorporated riding

a horse in the clip and so that was a

challenge because I wanted to look

natural as if I had grown up around

horses. It was the same for my best

friend. It was the first time she had

been around horses too.

With some clever editing the video

turned out really well. I was proud

of it. I hope to follow my musical

dream and I can’t wait to find out

where it takes me.


MISSING

“Mevrig” Mum sighed.

“You’re finally sixteen my dear!” She

continued, as I watched her peel the

potatoes.

“Go get ready now darling, the

guests are going to be here any

time now!” She said.

I nodded and quickly ran up the

stairs to search for a suitable dress

for tonight. We had invited our new

street neighbours to come over for

dinner and suggested a ‘90’s style’

theme. I was excited, kind of. I mean

my mum wasn’t really the type to

let anyone in the house since her

boyfriend went missing. I picked the

dress I randomly found in the attic

once when I was up there and put it

on. Then I quickly rushed down to

take over my mum’s duties so she

could get ready as well.

“Ding, Ding.” The doorbell rang! I

walked politely to the door with a

smile ready to greet our new socalled

neighbours. As I opened the

door - wait - there was no one there.

I turned around to look at mum

only to find her looking at my knees.

My knees? I wanted to know what

she was looking at, but it wasn’t my

knees. It was a child! It was a little

girl with her teddy that had a name

tag reading ‘Louisa’. The teddy was

a bit ugly, but the little girl looked

quite presentable.

“What’s your name?” I asked kindly.

She didn’t say anything, in fact,

5 seconds later she just put her

teddy near her ear and walked in

MY house like she owned it. It was

strange.

“Bella!” Mrs Carol said as she

appeared in our doorway looking at

her child.

“I deeply apologise for my daughter.”

She worriedly exclaimed.

“No need for that! Children are so

innocent. They don’t know what not

to say!” Mum replied, grinning.

As Mum and Mrs Carol laughed,

Mr Carol decided to join the

bandwagon.

…...

A few moments later Mr and Mrs

Carol introduced their daughter and

said that she always held her teddy

to her ear everywhere she went

because she felt safe with her teddy

close. Moments later we all sat down

to eat dinner. We were supposed to

have five dining seats, but instead

we added an extra one for ‘Louisa’

the teddy. Even better Louisa was

right next to me. I stared at it for

a few seconds then I looked back

at mum. She was too busy talking

with the guests to notice me so I

just sat there.

As we all had to close our eyes for

prayer, I heard a whisper…

“I know what you did!”

“...What was that? Who said that?”

I said, interrupting the prayer. I

was scared. I looked to see that the

teddy beside me was gone.

Mum looked at me angrily. Til

‘BOOM’ The ceiling fell down out of

nowhere. A body covered in blood

fell from the attic with a note saying

‘Mevrig did this.’ Mum screamed as

she noticed the ring on the body’s

finger.

It was her boyfriend.

SHARING IS CARING

(SHORT STORY )

One day Danny knew that

he had won the lotto, but he

realised that he had lost the

ticket.

Then he looked for it in the

rubbish but it was already empty.

He asked Sam (his friend), “Do you

know where the rubbish goes?”

Sam showed him where the

rubbish bin was.

He went to where he had left the

rubbish but he couldn’t find it.

Next, he went and asked a group

of people to help him find his

lotto ticket. He was looking for his

ticket. Everyone was searching.

They heard Sam say “I found it”.

They all looked at Sam.

Sam found the lotto ticket in the

rubbish. They went to the shop

and said “we won”

Sam gave the lotto ticket to the man

and HAPPILY shared the money

with HIS FRIEND.

REFUGEE JOURNEY:

THE REH FAMILY

In 2017 Kwae, Oo and Me

Reh came to New Zealand

from Karenni Banmai Naison

Refugee Camp in Thailand.

The camp is situated on

the border of Burma and

Thailand.

We were born in the camp. All

refugees are not allowed to leave the

camp. You are allowed to go to the

hospital only with an appointment.

The education is very low and we

can grow vegetables for our use.

It’s difficult to get a passport which

is required to work outside the

camp.

Soe Reh came to NewZealand in

2018. Our families applied to UNHCR

(United Nations High Commissioner

for Refugees) to be resettled. We

had to wait two years before the

paperwork was finalised.

Now we have a better life, education,

a warm home and an opportunity to

own a car.

We are very fortunate to be

welcomed by a friendly country.

SHWE’S

REFUGEE JOURNEY

Refugees are people who

have been forced to leave

or escape their country

because of war or natural

disasters, but those are only

some reasons. I came to New

Zealand because my parents

wanted to start a new

chapter in life for my siblings

and me.

It was an awesome first experience

of New Zealand and I felt very

blessed to be coming to Aotearoa.

The freedom of life came back, even

though I missed my friends back

there. I had no clue how to speak

English, and it was pretty hard back

then. Looking back, I was nervous

about learning from the start.

My first school really supported

me with subjects and my everyday

routine. It was tough getting used to

everything and where places were.

My hard work and dedication

helped me to be motivated to

keep going, even when it felt

like a rollercoaster. I actually felt

really happy and proud of my

parents for leaving their family

to help my sister and me with

our future. Looking back to our

first arrival, it was quite funny

and I was nervous because every

road we took, there was always

sand in our faces. We got to stay

in a hotel for 2-3 days until we

got to the place we had to stay.

Life was surely impressive, to be

honest. So every road or path

we take is always possible for

right and wrong. Don’t give up

in life and keep working towards

your dream. Right now I’m at

Māngere College to learn more

about the future dreams for our

generation.

AQUILA’S REFUGEE JOURNEY

I was born in Afghanistan but moved

to Pakistan with my mother and two

sisters when I was young. We stayed in

a place for widows and had a room with

a shared kitchen and bathrooms. I went

to school and made friends who I played

hide and seek with in the dark.

My Mum worked as a cleaner, sometimes my sister

and I would help her.

I can see the differences between Pakistan and

New Zealand. In Pakistan, there were no flowers

or trees. Sometimes I miss my friends. I can speak

Pashto.

When I came to New Zealand my life changed, and

I am happy to be able to smile. Thank you.

MATARIKI 2020

Matariki 2020 was

celebrated throughout

the kura.

Our students learnt Mahi Whai

(string games), Māori hand games

such as Hei Tama – Tu tama, Takatu

and Hipitoito. We also had a Staff

Professional Learning Development

in which staff were able to learn

about the importance of the names

and meanings of each star in the

Matariki Cluster.

These stars are Tipuanuku,

Tipuarangi, Waiti, Waita,

Waipunarangi, Ururangi,

Pohutukawa, Hiwaiterangi, Matariki.

MAU RAKAU

Despite Covid-19, we are as a school

looking forward to continuing with

Mau Rakau into the year 20201. We

will have 2 of our students (Sylas

Wilson Year 11 and Kasey Wehi

Year 10) representing Māngere

College achieving their Level 1 or

‘Poutahi’ in Mau Rakau 2020. It has

been a challenging year for the 2

boys, however, they were able to

learn the Kupu (words), Karakia

(prayer or chants), Mahi Rakau

(Taiaha movements) and Waewae

Nuku (Footwork). A huge thanks

to Chris Wiremu and Nga Pou

Tuakana (Higher Level Seniors) for

coordinating Mau Rakau this year.

KAPA HAKA

Kapa Haka has been a struggle

this year. Because of the Level

restrictions, we were not able to

have mass gatherings or people

from other bubbles to achieve what

we wanted to, however at the start

this year Matua Maehe, Whaea Jane

Paul and Whaea Arihana had the

TALOFA LAVA AND WARM

PACIFIC GREETINGS

First of all, we give all the glory and

praise to our Heavenly Father who

has guided us throughout this

year. Unfortunately, because of the

horrible pandemic of COVID 19, our

yearly event at the ASB Polyfest was

canceled. However, our Samoan

Polyfest Group had the opportunity

to perform in front of families and

friends during the Fiafia Night that

was held in the gym. Within that

short amount of time that was

given to us, we made some very

memorable memories together as

a family.

With Polyfest being cancelled,

we received some very sad news

that one of our greatest teachers

was leaving Māngere College. Mr.

Fesulu’ai has been working at this

school for more than 4 years, and

though it was heartbreaking for us

to see him leave, we couldn’t have

been happier to see that he is going

to do bigger and greater things at

the University of Auckland. Words

are not enough to describe your

hard work and dedication towards

your gagana Samoa classes and to

the school.

We were very fortunate that with

the lockdown being at Level 1

during Samoan Language Week, we

were able to celebrate our cultural

activities in school. Special thanks

to Carmel who was our MC for the

week and her team. Also, thank you

to every performer who was brave

enough to take part in the interval

and lunch time activities. We also

had the opportunity to celebrate

Samoan language week with the

teachers and staff members of

Māngere College.

Another memorable time for us

was when we had the privilege

to perform at the Māngere East

Festival at the Māngere East Library.

We were so thankful to Joanne

Latif our productions and media

manager who got us involved in the

festival and we were able to perform

to get some extra credits.

Our theme this year is “Prepare

yourself a gift for your travels”. We

believe that COVID 19 was a way

for us to realize how important it

is to always prepare for the future

or what may happen next. Our

motivation for you is that you

prepare yourself today so you won’t

need to worry tomorrow. Set your

goals now and work hard to achieve

them. Thank you and God bless!

Tongan Department

“We welcome you to join us in Enriching Aoteroa through faith & prayer.” (Theme of Tonga

Language Week 2020) Fakakoloa ‘o Aotearoa ‘aki ‘a e lotu mo’oni.

Māngere College’s Tonga Language

week was a treat for both the

eyes and soul. Every lunchtime

activity was opened with a hymn &

prayer by our Tongan teachers and

students. Every day was packed

with performances from all year

levels, displaying the nature of the

“‘Ulungaanga Faka-Tonga”.

It has been inspirational to watch

our students showcase their passion

for their culture through songs,

dance, and even a traditional kava

ceremony.

From colourful “teunga” customs to

beautiful “faiva” traditional dances,

our Tongan students brought us

the real live Tongan experience.

But this week could not have

happened without the help of

all our performers and Tongan

students & staff. Thank you so much

for enriching MC in your culture.

To all our staff members who

stayed patient and understanding

throughout the week “‘oku mau

hounga ‘ia” we are truly grateful

and appreciate your support for our

students. To the students and staff

who were the backbone of Tonga

Language Week who held the

foundation of every performance

and off/on stage preparation – thank

you. A special shoutout to all our

senior students who worked behind

the scenes in preparation for Tonga

Language Week. You have all played

a big role in Tonga Language week

2020.

- Ms Bloomfield


Mathematics

With an excitingly different approach to the

year, it was testing times for our students and

department.

But being able to model attributes that we promote in our

classrooms, we were able to problem-solve and try to deliver

the curriculum as best we could given the disruptions

caused by COVID. What was pleasing to see was the

increased number of students using Education Perfect

for Math, teachers upskilling in using online platforms to

communicate and more importantly becoming more

flexible and understanding of our students’ needs.

As some normality came back into our year, the Math

department was involved in Open Week where we got to

share what we offer in terms of courses, support in Math

and extra-curricular to our feeder schools Viscount, Sir

Douglas Bader and Māngere Central.

Furthermore, to continue providing opportunities, we

offered the level 1 MCAT exam to more of our Year 11

students, some of our Year 12 and Year 13 students attended

the Pacific Academy study Ako sessions during term 3

holidays and we entered 4 junior teams into each of the

South Auckland Mathematics Competion (SAMC) events.

There were some pleasing results by both year 9 and year

10 teams and we were fortunate enough to host two of the

four events and be cheered on by our peers and teachers.

An interesting year to say the least but some valuable

learning experiences by both the department members

and students. We would like to wish our 13VPM, 3MAT,

3MAS and 3MAC students all the best for their future

endeavours (36° 57’ 34.96” S 174° 47’ 30.466” E).

MUSIC MENTORING 2020

This year our music

students had the chance

to be mentored by some

of NZ’s finest musicians.

These included Anonymouz

(Music Producer, Beat Maker,

Videographer) via the NZ Music

Commission, Shelley Cocker

(Founder & Producer, NZ Music

Anonymouz mentored our senior

music students in Songwriting

and Composition, and offered

them valuable insights into the

NZ Music Industry, whilst Shelley

worked with our talented female

vocalists, focussing on stage craft

and performance. Three of our

vocalists also had the opportunity

to workshop with Mazbou Q, where

he analysed their performances

and stage craft and helped them

to gain confidence in their ability

and potential. Many thanks to these

music mentors for working with our

students to help them achieve their

goals.

NEW FOUND SOUND

16 MC Music students took

on the New Found Sound

Competition this year – our

groups John & Tha Boys, Niu

Sound, Dolce and Duet Una

& Pypher.

New Found Sound is a competition

for upcoming musicians, singers

and bands. Regional heats kicked

off in July throughout the Auckland

and Hamilton regions. Our four

groups headed to the South Heats

at the Māngere Arts Centre on 13th

July. After a fun night filled with

many stand out music and dance

performances, our groups came out

on top - with John & Tha Boys and

Niu Sound placing 1st equal in the

Band category, and Una & Pypher

placing 1st in the Duo category.

Fast forward to 1st August, when

our finalists took to the stage in the

Final at TAPAC in Western Springs,

competing against the best of the

best. They had the opportunity to

perform to a packed crowd and

enjoyed the camaraderie between

all the groups backstage. John &

Tha Boys, Niu Sound and Duo Una &

Pypher all performed brilliantly, with

great feedback from the crowd and

judges alike. The competition was

stiff, with the winners decided by a

mixture of audience vote and judges

scores.

Congratulations to John & Tha

Boys who placed 1st Runner Up

in the most highly-contested

Band category, and to Niu Sound

who gained the highest judges

scores on the night. Outstanding

results for all our performers who

are to be commended for their

professionalism, dedication and

team spirit throughout the course of

the competition.

WE WILL RISE: MC SCHOOL SONG

Over the course of 7

weeks, a group of our

music students had the

opportunity to work with

Kava Bowl Media on an

original track and music

video.

Working in the KBM studio with

Producer, Malachi Samuelu,

instrumentalists Ofa Ahomana

and Tererei Samuel laid down

instrumental tracks whilst

vocalists Adyhana Urika Filifilia,

D’nadcyn Matia, Pearl Taisi, Unaloto

Leleifi, Johnathon Lemalu, Kaisa

Faamausili, Cezanne Ratumu-

Wharton, Faamanu Sanerivi

recorded solo and harmony parts

as they watched the layers start to

form the song. The music video was

shot in three stages, both at MC

and on location close to Mangere

Mountain with filmographer Dylan

Crummer and director John Tapu.

It was an incredible experience for

everyone involved in the project;

overcoming challenges, learning

new skills and focus, and celebrating

‘The MC Way’ in the process.

The support for the song has

been immense - within the first

weekend of its release, the song saw

over 20,000 views, and hundreds

of shares and positive feedback.

Massive thanks to Kava Bowl Media

for their work on this project and to

our MC Family and Community for

the support of the song.

Rugby

This year has been one to remember but not always for the desired reasons. Preparations

were severely disrupted by the COVID pandemic and the two lock-downs came at crucial

points in the season which had the overall effect of blocking our progress in the competitions

into which we were entered. A reduced number of entries resulted in MC fielding only a boys’

first fifteen (1st XV) and two girls’ 10-a-side teams.

GIRLS 10-A-SIDE

We started after the first

lockdown ended but the real

surprise was having more

than 40 girls show up to our

training sessions.

This was a feature of the girls’

season and although the numbers

dropped away over time, we still had

sufficient numbers to send out two

teams each Monday afternoon.

The A team started with a big win

over Waitakere College. Captain

Mele Lelenoa was a standout

performer, as were Adyhana, Tame

and Jas. We faltered a little after a

mid-week non- competition game

against Otahuhu College when it

was halted because of a serious

injury to one of their players. The

game was evenly poised at the time

with no score. There was a huge

crowd for this home game (and it

continued for the whole season).

Ironically, when we played OC in the

competition rounds, the same result

occurred when one of our girls

sustained a severe head injury. That

game was registered as a 0-0 draw

and acted as another brake to our

progress.

Losses to Avondale and Howick and

a scheduled game against Tangaroa

ended the season when the second

lockdown happened in August.

Auckland didn’t open early enough

to complete the playoffs, so this is

how we ended.

The B team was captained by Silia

Palenapa. The most outstanding

feature for this season was the

wonderful team spirit carried

throughout each week, with

the numbers attending training

sessions and games remaining

consistently high. Being supportive

of teammates carried them through

tough results on-field and their

determined effort was excellent.

Comprising mostly juniors from

Years 9 and 10, it bodes well for the

future of girls’ rugby at Māngere

College. Many thanks to coaches

Rob Hukatai and Fred Leniu for their

ongoing support and instruction.


1 ST XV BOYS RUGBY

Perhaps the best way to

describe this season is

that it was an amazing

journey that took a group

of unlinked individuals

and led them from a

state of uncertainty

about what lay ahead

to one of self-belief,

increasing confidence

and eventual success.

The first steps in this journey were

made with the appointment

of new coaches Bond Tagaloa

and Sam (Oto) Tuia. Their

experience coaching school and

representative teams had an

immediate effect on the group,

starting out small and gradually

growing into a formidable team.

Together with the support of

team manager, Kiri Leniu and the

sponsorship of the Leniu family,

things were ripe to challenge and

win the Auckland Schools Rugby

1C competition and compete for

promotion to 1B in 2021. … And

then COVID-19 struck and put a

hold on everything!

Upon return from lockdown, we

restarted preparations for the

2020 promotion-relegation game

with Avondale. These included

early morning fitness sessions,

Pre-season games against a

teachers & dads selection, Southern

Cross Campus and Alfriston College

followed. However, we learned

some tough lessons in the loss

to Avondale 13-17 and again the

following weekend against Marcellin

in the first round of 1C competition.

During the term 2 holidays, training

sessions and a team outing to Laser

Strike gave opportunities for team

bonding that were capped with

another loss to Mt Roskill Grammar

in a non-competition match, and

our first win of the season against 1B

opponents, One Tree Hill College.

And then COVID did it again…

Our return to school and hopes

for a return to competition didn’t

eventuate due to Auckland’s Level

3 & 2.5 lock-downs which effectively

ended all rugby competitions in the

city. With scheduled, but unplayed,

games against lower placed schools

Edgewater, Papatoetoe, Alfriston

and Mt Albert Grammar C we were

unable to improve on our 2nd

placing on the table and because of

the major disruptions in 2020, the

rugby union decided there will be

no promotion-relegation next year.

The team grew as a unit. Individuals

emerged as leaders and tacticians

on-field. Things were building very

nicely as the various elements came

together into the ‘perfect storm’ of

coaches, management, players and

families to produce success in 2020.

Another constant feature of the

season was the amount of support

we had from parents and friends at

away games and home fixtures. We

hope that will continue in the future.

Off the field we became a focus

point for Kava Bowl Media Sky TV

series “Pacific Brothers and Sisters”.

The team featured in a weekly

five minute segment titled “Real

XV”. The nation was introduced

to team captains Nathan and LB,

players Jeremiah, Daniel, Blessing,

Faamanu, Vai and many others in

the team. We got a lot of interest

and support from viewers around

the country including some from as

far away as Wellington who wanted

to buy tickets in the team raffle that

also featured on the show. Another

Palmerston North viewer offered to

buy boots for the boys who revealed

they didn’t have boots that fit.

Throughout the season we had

guest visits from Julian Savea and

Danny Tusitala who helped with the

coaching. La’auli Sir Michael Jones

and Pita Alatini presented team

jerseys at the pre- season dinner.

Huge thanks go to Bond and Oto for

their work with the team and each

boy individually. Thanks again to the

Leniu Crew who sponsored the work

and to all our parents and staff who

supported us through the year. 2021

promises to be one where we build

from a starting point of strength

with the return of almost half the

squad. Onwards and upwards from

here… Keep your eyes on this team.

It was definitely a season to

remember.

- Nathan Samu

‘Huge thanks

goes to Bond

and Oto for

their work

individually.’

SENIOR GIRLS VOLLEYBALL

SENIOR BOYS

VOLLEYBALL

The Senior Volleyball Boys A

team started the season in term 1

strongly with wins over One Tree

Hill, Tamaki College, Sir Edmond

Hillary Collegiate and a close 3-2 set

loss against De La Salle. The boys

had many moments of success in

all of their games in the Premier

division at Auckland Champs but

were challenged to convert that

success into winning more games.

Nonetheless, they are excited for

next year’s season as a rebuilding

phase for the team with many

promising juniors coming through

into senior volleyball.


JUNIOR BOYS VOLLEYBALL

We have two Junior Boys Volleyball teams and both teams have competed in close games and have had

some good wins. They have started to gel together and are working on their skills as a team. The Junior

A Boys Volleyball team are excited to compete at Auckland Champs and are motivated to challenge

themselves against higher-level teams.

Māngere College

Supporters

Māngere College continues to be very grateful to our local businesses and individuals who provide

financial support to our students. This commitment helps Māngere College students achieve to their

potential.

Financial support allows us to provide three groups of scholarships each year:

• The Māngere College Entrance Scholarships cover most of the costs associated with starting as

a Year 9 student at Māngere College.

• The Māngere College Senior Scholarships are awarded to deserving Year 10 students. These are

worth $500 and are used by the recipients to cover the cost of uniform and other school costs

over their senior years.

• Year 13 students can apply for the Māngere College Leavers' Scholarships. These awards are

valued at up to $1500 to assist students to meet the costs of tertiary study.

If you are interested in offering Māngere College any financial sponsorship which would further

enhance our students’ future pathways please don’t hesitate to contact the school on

enquiries@māngere.school.nz.
