North Harbour Hockey Champions
On Wednesday, 9th June Rosmini College’s 1st XI Hockey team played off against Westlake Boys’ High School’s 1st XI for the North Harbour Hockey Championship. A triumphant Rosmini scored a 2 – 1 victory.
The Rosmini team consisted of Keenan Bhikha, Joshua Bowden, Morgan Codd, Maxwell Collett, Reuben D’Souza, Matthew Develter, Finnbar Erskine-Mills, Pat Faulkner, Sean Harrod, Joshua Holloway, Samuel MacKinnon, Jonathan O’Rourke, Riley Playfair, Fernando Terrazas, Jordan Thomas, Michael Thornhill and Hamish Berry.
The team was coached by Rosmini’s Assistant Principal, Year 13 Dean and Head of Physical Education Mr Paul Fordham and Old Boy Taimana Iversen. The managers of the team were Rosmini’s Head of Māori Mātua Noah Meggitt, Rosmini’s Director of Community Relations Mr James Fuiava and Nicholas Eastwood.
Mr Fordham said, “This was a fiercely contested game with both teams having opportunities in the first half. However, the game was drawn 0 – 0 at halftime. Westlake Boys was the dominant team of the first half. However, due to some changes made in the second half, Rosmini found themselves creating more opportunities to score. We were the first to strike with a brilliant goal from Morgan Codd. Shortly following this, some magic from Captain Jordon Thomas put us ahead 2 – 0. Following this, Rosmini College defended with a lot of heart only to concede a goal on fulltime to make the final score 2 – 1. A great result with notable performances from Hamish Berry, Patrick Faulkner, Morgan Codd and Jordon Thomas.”

Travelling Pots
Rosmini College’s 2021 theme of ‘Where is your Brother?’ was put into practice on Monday, 14th June when around 30 Young Vinnies from Rosmini College and Carmel College prepared and cooked close to 100 meals.
Rosmini College Year 13 Prefect, Ross McFadzean says, “These meals will go to those who are in need of a warm, hearty meal. This initiative is called the Travelling Pots and our Young Vinnies are aiming to prepare and package these meals several times throughout the year. At our next gathering, the goal is to produce 120 meals. The Vinnies team is deeply grateful for the enduring support of Pak ’n Save Albany.”
