WINGS NEWSLETTER Dear Parents and Friends of Sunderland
Vol 14, Term Three, Week Six, 30 August 2019
I wish to thank the staff in the Preschool Primary and College for all their work in preparing for our upcoming Education Review What’s in Office this meetings issue: held over the next week. The inspection for the Preschool is occurring on Thursday of this week and I know that Sue and her team are very much looking forward to hosting the reviewers onsite. Next Monday and Tuesday the review team are here in the Primary and College; in our next newsletter I will report back on their findings. On Thursday to Saturday Mr Stephens and I are attending the annual Independent Schools conference, this year held in Wellington. I am very much looking forward to hearing the excellent line-up of speakers. Again I will report back next week. I wish to thank Miss Berta Armenteras very much for all her work with the Spanish classes here at Sunderland for the past five months while Mrs Rebecca Lambarth has been on maternity leave. Today will be Berta’s last day, as Mrs Lambarth returns back to ACG Sunderland on Monday. We certainly wish Miss Armenteras all the very best with her career post Sunderland. On Thursday, almost the entire Year Five and Year Six cohort of students represented the school at a sports cluster event. The sports we were competing in were: Hockey, Soccer and Netball. A huge thank you to all the parents who assisted on the day with transportation. Again, I will report back next week with regards to the results.

A reminder that our annual Parents and Friends Breakfasts, in conjunction with Fuji Xerox and Heaney & Partners Law Firm, are coming up. These are good opportunities for the family to come out together and listen to a guest speaker as well as be surrounded by wonderful company. This year they will be held at the Trust Stadium with new caterers who are offering us a fantastic Breakfast menu. This week, order forms for tickets were taken home by your child. Please return your ticket order to reception before Friday 6 September. I hope to see you at these enjoyable and inspiring events. Primary Breakfast is on Tuesday 17 September from 7.30am to 9.00am. Our guest speaker is Michaela Sokolich-Beatson.
Following a breakthrough year in 2016, talented young defender Michaela SokolichBeatson has continued to enhance her credentials in leaps and bounds. Named for the first time in 2018, the talented 22-year old is an example of the next generation of Silver Fern ready to create a legacy of their own in the black dress.
A product of Whangaparoa College, Sokolich-Beatson was first chosen for the Northern Mystics in 2016 and is where she has remained for the last four seasons. An impressive 2019 season saw her efforts recognised with inclusion in the wider Netball World Cup programme. An outstanding athlete, Sokolich-Beatson is a tireless and effective defender. Skilled both in the circle and out on wing defence, she offers versatility and a fierce determination for the ball. Her strong leadership skills held her in good stead as the captain of the triumphant NZU21 team at the Netball World Youth Cup in Botswana in 2017. Fresh off their championship at the Netball World Cup last month, she’s looking forward to sharing her thoughts with your students about goal setting and how it’s taken her (and the Ferns) to the pinnacle of international netball sport.
College Breakfast is on Monday 16 September from 7.30am to 9.00am. Our guest speak is Alexia. Alexia is the founder and CEO of GirlBoss NZ - a 12,000 strong army of young women who are determined to achieve gender equality in their lifetimes. Dismayed by the under representation of women in leadership roles Alexia founded GirlBoss when she was just 16. Encouraging young women to embrace STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), leadership and entrepreneurship, GirlBoss is now New Zealand’s largest organisation for young women. It’s members are shrugging off the statistics and preparing themselves to take their seats at the table - the boardroom table that is. At 17, Alexia was the youngest person to lead a research project at the New Zealand Treasury - and at 18 - she was selected to seek new stars and planets on the NASA SOFIA mission. She was named the most influential young leader under the age of 25 at the Westpac Women of Influence awards and recently returned from Buckingham Palace where she received the Queen’s Young Leader medal for services to the commonwealth. She is the youngest Commonwealth citizen to ever receive this honour. Alexia proves that you are never too young (or too short) to be an agitator for change. Wishing our fathers an enjoyable Fathers Day on Sunday.
Aspire. Succeed. Respect.
Nathan Villars Campus Principal ACG Sunderland
