There are a lot of different ways people like relax. Some people like to go out and shop for some retail therapy (remember that you need money to shop before considering this option), some go out with friends and hang out or watch a movie. Others who don’t like being around a lot of people or leaving the home will enjoy staying inside and watching their favourite TV show or movie. I know that I’ve been bingeing some Netflix shows and Marvel movies since my exams ended. Maybe you’re not the kind of person to relax easily because you’re a perfectionist and/or overachiever who always needs to be working to be better. That’s also okay. But all of us are only human. So are our teachers who are busy marking in what’s probably supposed to be their free time. It’s important to know when you need a break, to know when you can stop working at your full capacity and take a bit of time to recharge before the external exams which start in about a month. These tips can also apply to our lower college students who will be sitting internal exams next term and Year 9s who will be sitting their Secondary Checkpoint exams as well. Study hard but remember to take breaks and treat yourself to some comfort food and TV from time to time.
Mock exams for the seniors and some of the Year 10s are now over, with some students already getting results back for some of their papers. It’s no secret that these exams have caused some stress, not just in students, but also in the teachers who are now busy with marking. Before exam sessions, we had people in the cafeteria and in the corridors getting in some extra study just before their exam was due to start. That was all exam revision; now it’s time for the exam recovery stage.
Exam Recovery
Just as you put in a lot of effort to revise and prepare for your exams, it’s also important to put some effort into relaxing and destressing afterwards. Yes, these mocks are an opportunity for you to learn what you need to spend some extra time studying before the real thing, but before you set about doing that, you should sit back and unwind.
As for our seniors, take a bit of time before you get all your results back so you can recharge before you take the real thing next term.

Sunderland on Service is a great opportunity for many students, and beneficial to them in multiple Volunteeringways.benefits
both you and those you help. You can gain new knowledge, grow as a leader, and boost your self assurance by helping others. In general, by lending a hand to others, you may change the world. This makes you feel good about your community involvement as well. There are numerous ways to volunteer and get engaged; you may lend a hand to your neighbours by organising their garage or cleaning up their garden. Involvement in school activities such as coaching sports or helping out with after school activities, like garden cleanups are other options. My life has changed significantly as a result of the Sunderland service I am currently involved in. Sunderland on Service is truly a terrific chance to grow in self assurance and respect. As a reward for your efforts, you are given a badge once you have completed a certain number of hours. Sunderland on Service is a wonderful opportunity, so I urge everyone to try it.

‘No Planet B’ Hydrogen Fuel or Fossil Fuels?
Unlike most fuels, burning hydrogen for energy does not contribute to climate change. This is because burning hydrogen does not produce greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. Instead, in a hydrogen fuel cell, the only emissions are water vapour. This sounds great, right? So why haven’t we replaced fossil fuels with hydrogen yet?
Although hydrogen provides Earth a chance to move to a “cleaner” source of fuel, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, there are still many flaws of it that need to be overcome.
The idea of a “hydrogen economy” was quite popular in the 1970s, introducing hydrogen as a new fuel for transportation as oil prices were rising quickly at the time.

Although hydrogen fuels are great news considering climate change, pure hydrogen is quite rare on Earth. The processes we go through to create hydrogen emits even more carbon dioxide! This is exactly what we are trying to avoid. The most popular production method is perhaps known as Steam Methane Reforming (SMR), where methane a major constituent of natural gas is reacted with steam under high pressure to produce hydrogen, but also carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide (science students will know the harmful However,effects).ifhydrogen were to become a climate solution, there is another type called “green” hydrogen, which is made by using renewable energy to separate hydrogen from water, called electrolysis! Electrolysis is just a process which can breakdown substances, such as water, into smaller components. Even so, this process requires a lot of electrical power electricity which could be used for our own homes instead!

ACG09Sunderland8387070 6 Waipareira Ave, Henderson, Auckland 12 College Chess Olympiad
Being my first Olympiad, I wasn’t exactly familiar with all the rules and regulations that came with playing in a tournament like this. All the anti cheating ones seemed fairly obvious, but there were some things that I wasn’t sure of before I played in this tournament. For example, there were two metal detectors to go through, and security checks for anyone wishing to enter the venue. There was also an almost paparazzi like crowd of local chess fans who had come out to see the players; and there was even a food court and a stage where there would be performances which we got to see before the round. I had never played in a tournament which was so team focused either. Since the final result didn’t depend on one player, but the collective result of the team, there was a lot of keeping an eye on everyone else’s games. There was also a refreshments room where my teammates and I would go before the round to get things like sodas, chocolates and some even got tea, coffee, and biscuits! Seeing as I had my first ever mocks only a few weeks after I got back from India, I was a little concerned about falling behind on my schoolwork. Thankfully, many of my teachers gave me all the work I needed to do and much of it was also posted on Blackboard and OneNote which helped me catch up when I got back. I didn’t have much time to do schoolwork in India, most of the time I was either playing my game or preparing to play my game.
Approximately 6 weeks ago, the 44th International Chess Olympiad was held, with around 1700 players from 187 countries attending. I was lucky enough to be one of them, along with 9 other Kiwis to travel to Chennai, India and play for Team New Zealand. I won’t ramble on for too long about all the technical details about this tournament believe me I could, there is a lot to talk about with big tournaments like this but I will say that one thing that made NZ’s women’s team stand out is that we had the third youngest age in the women’s section, with a 19, 18, 14, 13, and 12 year old bringing us to an average age of 15.4; we were only beaten in age by Ivory Coast (14.25) and Cape Verde (14.8).
Overall, it was an incredible experience and I’m glad to have had this opportunity to represent my country in such a prestigious tournament.

“Mathex felt like what can only be described as a sprint, both for the runner, and the mathematicians. 30 minutes of some of the nastiest problem solving ever thought up, to find the team that will be able to say with some certainty, that they are the best problem solvers of the city.” Mathex
It was great to be back after Covid interrupted past Mathex Comps, and we returned with aplomb, scoring the highest totals we have ever done. So many of our teams scored the maximum count of 100, and the others got nearly there I am so proud of the success of our Herestudents!iswhatsome of the students had to say:
“Attending this year’s Mathex was an incredible experience with such an excited and enthusiastic audience, as well as some very competitive teams. I’m glad we got to compete, and I’m pleased with our results!”
“Mathex was really fun, and I enjoyed everything about it. The questions were quite difficult, but an interesting change to regular word problems.”
