WINGS NEWSLETTER Vol 10, Term 4, Week 5, 17 November 2017

From the Principal What’s in this issue: Dear Parents and Friends of Sunderland

Just this morning I have been up in the Auditorium and Mr O’Connor is busy organising our young actors as they prepare for the 2017 edition of the Primary Production. I know parents and children alike are all looking forward to the extravaganza. See you all on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for the performances.

On Tuesday we held our annual Orientation Day here at Sunderland when all the children beginning their educational journeys with us next year, arrive, meet their teachers and begin to experience the “Sunderland Way”. It was as usual a wonderful, supportive experience for everyone, with happy children and parents leaving after lunchtime. If for any reason you missed the Orientation Day then please do not hesitate to contact Rebekah Hanrahan and she may well be able to organise a ‘student for a day’ experience.

I am very much looking forward to seeing our top performing cricket team play for the very last time for this season. There are a large number of Year Thirteens in the team who will be graduating at the end of this year, so it is very special! Fingers crossed for the weather.

On Wednesday Mrs Tyler escorted our Associate Leaders to a new initiative run by AUT. The leadership training day was held at the City campus and by all accounts was very worthwhile. Thank you again to Mrs Tyler for managing this event.

On Thursday night the Year Six Graduation was again held at The Brigham at Whenuapai. It was perhaps our largest ever with 25 children all graduating from Year Six. I wish to thank Miss Wujec, Mrs Chartrand and all the parent helpers for putting this wonderful celebration together. It really is a fantastic opportunity to reflect on their time in the Primary school and look forward to all the opportunities that occur post primary education.

Aspire. Succeed. Respect

AUT Juniors Programme: On Wednesday 15 November 2017, ten students from Year Ten were selected to attend the AUT Juniors Programme at their campus in the city. Thanks to Mrs Tyler who also enjoyed the trip. She took all of us in the school’s van and got through the traffic well ahead of time. The programme started at approximately 9.30am in one of their lecturer halls and we were joined by three other schools: Massey, Epsom Girls and Mt Albert Grammar. There were three main activities we all had to participate in; a race and two workshops. We all participated in the Amazing “RIASEC” Race, which taught us how to be realistic, intelligent, artistic, smart, enthusiastic and creative. We all used these attributes in our activities and to finish the race! We also had workshops run by the AUT student ambassadors and the staff as well. The first was Leadership. It helped us to have a better understanding of what attributes a good leader might have and gave us an opportunity to test out in activities what leadership qualities we might have ourselves. The second was Teamwork. This showed us what a good team is made up of and how we can apply that in our own situations. The weather was just right as most of these activities involved a lot of running outside and inside. Of course, with other schools around there were many unfamiliar faces, so this required a lot of talking to your team and discovering how to work well with them. Overall, this trip was very enjoyable and a new experience for most of us. I know for sure that all of us learned new things about ourselves and what we might need to work on, because there is always room for improvement! Isabellia Lee Associate leader for Mcdonald
