WINGS NEWSLETTER Vol 14, Term Three, Week Ten, 27 September 2019
Dear Parents and Friends of Sunderland I attended the Primary Production Te Waka o Aotearoa ‘Legends of New Zealand’ on Wednesday and Thursday nights and was so very impressed with the standards of performance, singing and overall entrainment value.
What’s in this issue:
Mr O’Connor again has done such a wonderful job getting these young people to an excellent level. Congratulations to all the staff who have assisted in this outstanding production. Special mention to the West Auckland Middle School (our neighbours) for their assistance too.

On Thursday we held a mufti day to raise money for our charity in Term Four. Our charity is NorWest Care Trust, an organisation supplying hampers and support for under privileged families in West Auckland. It was a lot of fun with the Primary school dressing in onesies and the college as memes.
The school raised a total of $510.00 for the charity so far. You will have seen the food boxes already in the foyer of the school. We are looking for non-perishable items to be donated to this worthy cause. On Thursday afternoon we had the Primary Citizenship Term Three Assembly. Congratulations to the following students: 1NG 1SB 1-2CF 2RW 3AV 4LC 5WB 6PG
Leah Francis Chelsea Ataya Eshaan Gandhi Dong Chen Amelia Barnes-Hogan Ryan Melvin Ray Chung Joseph Kumerich.
I would like to wish everyone a safe and wonderful holiday period. I look forward to seeing students back at school on Monday 14 October in their summer uniforms.
Aspire. Succeed. Respect.

College Academic House Student Success Erin Geraghty won a Gibson tribute guitar off a competition on Facebook, by Smoke Free Rockquest. A representative from Gibson Japan, Rockshop and Smoke Free Rockquest presented this to her on Thursday. An online competition that was asking what music inspires you, so Erin wrote a little article, ‘Not thinking about it’. Congratulation's, Erin.
Student Success Congratulation's to Resha Bedekar in Year Seven. Resha’s team took the Silver medal on Sunday 23 September in ‘Olympic Hopefuls’ waterpolo tournament. It was a tension filled game. After a tie, each team played penalty shots and the final results were 6-5. Congratulation’s, Resha. 4

Term Four Charity – NorWest Care Trust
In Term Four, the Student Leadership team is supporting the NorWest Care Trust. The NorWest Care Trust works to ensure that everyone in our local community can enjoy the holiday season, by hand making and delivering Christmas hampers for the families who are in need. We are excited about the difference that we could make to our local community through the work of the NorWest Care Trust at this important time of year. For the first part of our service, each of the six Houses will have a section of three Christmas trees displayed on their House wall in the atrium. To decorate the trees, we would like to offer you the opportunity to sponsor an ornament. Each ornament will be decorated with the name of the family that sponsors it, and the ornaments will vary in colour and size depending on the amount donated: blue symbolises a $10 donation, red symbolises a $20 donation, silver symbolises a $30 donation and gold symbolise a donation of $50 or more. Smaller or anonymous donations can be placed in a jar that will be under each tree. You are welcome to take your ornament home at the end of term four as a memento. At the end of the year, the House with the most money donated will get a reward. To sponsor an ornament, please fill out the form attached and return it to reception with your donation OR transfer your donation to the ACG Sunderland account: 03 0252 0820953 00. Use your child’s House (McDonald, Tong, Fleming, Whenuapai, Waitakere, or Findlay) as the reference and do not forget to include the name you would like to appear on your decoration. Alongside the Christmas tree decorations, we will also be running a mystery bucket game. The aim for the students is to fill up the House boxes at reception with donations. The Leaders of the box that is the fullest every two weeks will get dunked at lunch time. This fun game will give students the opportunity to donate to a worthy cause. Six donation boxes will be left in the Reception area and labelled with McDonald, Tong, Fleming, Whenuapai, Waitakere, and Findlay. Please place all non-perishable food donations in the box of your choice. Thank you for all your support.
Trophies Please return all cups and trophies from Prizegiving 2018 to Mrs Davies or leave at reception. Whole School Picnic
This is in Term Four. However, this will be charged against students accounts this term.
Lost Property
This will be placed on display for all students next week. Any items left on Friday 27 September will be placed in our second hand shop. Other items will be donated to a charity. Please ensure you name all your child’s items.
Term Four Uniform
Summer uniform is to be worn from Monday 14 October 2019.

Borneo Trip
ACG Sunderland 0800 222 199 | 09 838 7070 6 Waipareira Ave, Henderson, Auckland
In December 2020, a group of 15 college students and 2 teachers will be going to Borneo to participate in a community service trip. The main focus of the trip involves a community project, such as building a bus shelter, a school block, a toilet block or a water well. To participate in such activities, we need to fundraise for the materials used in the construction process. We have thought of many ways in which to fundraise for the community project, such as sausage sizzles, bake sales, selling Eco Store soap, specially designed t-shirts/tote bags and many more that are yet to be announced. Our most consistently available method of donation is our GiveALittle page, and we would very much appreciate any donation given on that page, as it is essential that we raise enough money to provide infrastructure to the developing village that we will be staying with in Borneo. Please have a look at our page. Our team, along with the people in Borneo, will be more than grateful! https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/help-us-provide-schoolinginfrastructure?fbclid=IwAR2BPmTfiu_j_YaVkEZIo5HpuKKLLQTP7CDwH8s71U5ERQpEzcut9jbguBk Ecostore soaps are available from receptions, or one of the Borneo team students, for $2.50. A dollar from each soap will go directly to the community project. Keep an eye out for our next exciting fundraising venture.
