Dear ACG Sunderland Community
On Monday at College assembly we announced to the students which Form Classes will be forming the new What’s inthethis issue: Houses – Whenuapai and Waitakere. Whenuapai – VTB and VNT Waitakere – VCS and VHC Added to these Houses will be current Year Seven students in the next week or so. The reason for announcing the students for these Houses early is so we can establish a culture, moto and mascot for each House. Therefore, when Athletics day comes around in 2020, we will be all ready. We also named the Associate Leaders for 2019. Congratulations to: Waitakere Whenuapai Findlay Fleming Tong McDonald
Shaiyana Adhar and Aditya Misra Joseph Pauling-Munro and Kuldeep Khakh Nishma Singh and Adit Shankar Mera Lawley and Sahil Patel Anna White and Anahera Kingston Arundhati Shankar and Regan Maconaghie.

On Wednesday, the School undertook its annual earthquake drill and most students were very quick to get under the desk and hold on. Drop – Cover – Hold The best were our Preschool students who were outside enjoying the sunshine when I arrived and declared there was an ‘earthquake’. Straight away their teachers said ‘turtle’ about fifteen little children got into the middle of the playground and made little turtle slopes covering their heads. We were super impressed! Conversations in the staffroom this week did question the need for an earthquake drill in Auckland – being a long way from a Faultline, but the geologist in me could not resist to ask them how sixty eight volcanic cones had appeared in the Auckland isthmus, assuring them that when an eruption occurs, there will be earthquakes.
