Kia Ora e te wahanu What can I say about our tamariki this week? We had an amazing and exciting first week in our new building. Our tamariki are overwhelmed with a variety of new resources to play with and so as the teachers. We are still settling in, getting to know our new environment and getting familiar with the very big space that we did not have before.

We would like to welcome Gilbert, Luca, Brinda and Marius and their whanau who just joined our Centre this week, and our new teachers Tara and Katie.

We hope you have a wonderful and safe Easter weekend and looking forward to seeing you back here on Tuesday.

Debate Club

ACG Sunderland attended its first debate of the season on Monday night.

ACG Sunderland 1 vs. St Kent's 5 - ACG Negative Winner: ACG Sunderland (by 20 points).

ACG Sunderland 2 vs. Massey 1 - ACG Affirmative Winner: Massey (ACG loss by only 8 points!)

We are so proud of the teams. For everyone it was their first debate ever!

The students had heaps of fun, and prepared very well for their debates.

Table Tennis Play Offs – ACG Sunderland Come Out on Top After a busy summer season playing against three other West Auckland schools, ACG Sunderland prove themselves to be amazing in the end-of-term play offs.

On the 8th of April, all players were entered into a knockout play off, at the Waitemata Table Tennis Stadium in Sunnyvale. Competition was tough, especially against Premier League players from Liston College. But the Sunderland players never let that stop them, and put up a good battle, taking the matches into long fights for sets.

Kevin Fang beat Hobsonville Point’s top player, Keith to the final by 2 points, in a tight test of both their abilities. It was a nail-biting event.

Nicholas Qin lost out to Liston; but beat Auckland International College by being a nimble player and wielding the paddle like a champ.

Our youngest player: Lucas proved himself by having his own unique playing style. He is very agile and really knew how to catch the other players off guard.

Of the four finals, we were in three and won three. The results were: Nicholas Qin (ACG) – 1st in A grade plate singles Kevin Fang (ACG) – 1st in B grade singles Lucas Yao (ACG) – 1st in B grade plate singles

Head Boy twice in a row, and well-known journalist visits Sunderland Three words: entertaining, engaging and enticing.

First thing Monday on the last week of Term One, Alex Chapmen was kind enough to come present about his experience at Sunderland, how he became a journalist, alongside providing general advice, and teaching us about journalism features, as it fits nicely into the AS Language course.

In 2011, Alex graduated from a (not so small now) school called ACG Sunderland. During his presentation, Chapmen described his experiences in sport, what subjects he took but most importantly the main struggles of high school; what to do next.

Like most students, Alex wasn’t sure of what he was going to pursue. He knew that he had talent in public speaking and had major interest in journalism, so he started working at a sports radio station, starting behind the scenes, and working his way up. Alex stated that the pros of working there were “The crew is like one big family”, “being able to interview famous sport celebrities”, and “watching the sport competitions extremely close.”

If there was anything Alex wanted us to take from his presentation, it would be the tips. The main tips he believed was to ‘take risks’, ‘say yes to more opportunities given to us’, and to ‘be kind’. He taught us that being kind led people to trust him and was the main reason why he could start working at NewsHub. Alex was a very clear presenter, and valued speaking from his own voice, as that’s what journalism is: “finding your voice” and sticking to it. He wasn’t afraid to use slang that he was used to, in fact, the use of occasional profane words engaged us, as it was nothing we were used to. I’m convinced to say that on behalf of the AS class, we were very lucky and grateful to have him come in and visit. Humorous and inspiring.

COVID – A Summary In 2020, the world faced a big challenge. COVID started spreading in the world, which affected everyone worldwide. The never-ending torture started, which went through 2021 and now in 2022.

COVID has changed the lives of many people and the world is not the same as before. Many people lost their family and friends; many faced financial hardship. It has caused lots of stress and anxiety to some people.

Schools were closed around the world. The school closures were one of the most disappointing decisions, mainly because children could not meet friends for a long time. On the other hand, many children had a good time at home in lockdown, while saving the world by doing nothing, and by nothing, I mean staying home, watching TV, and chilling.

Then some adults found a way to interrupt happiness, and online learning was introduced. All of the classes were started again via Zoom and Teams; But all of this happened for the better.

Restaurants and take-aways were closed, and we got a chance to see the cooking of our parents. We may have missed fast food, but home cooking resulted in some positive habits such as, spending more time with family, eating healthier and spending less money.

Initially, all children were exempted from masks, and we enjoyed the moment. We felt more privileged without a mask but it did not last long and the age limit to wear a mask was reduced.

Wearing a mask is very annoying but helps to protect from COVID. Vaccination age was also reduced, so children had to get injections which some may think are painful; but are very necessary to protect us from COVID. Overall, COVID has had a bad impact on most of our lives, but it has also brought positive environmental effects and overall pollution was reduced due to less traffic and manufacturing in lockdowns. Millions of people were locked in, but the natural world outside has continued to rumble on. COVID is starting to fade away with borders opening and cases decreasing. Hopefully everyone who had COVID are ok and thank you to all the teachers who made hybrid and online lessons possible.
