Rosmini College football promotion
Rosmini College’s 1st Xl Football team had a hard fought 1-1 draw at Western Springs College on Tuesday 16th August. The team headed into the game with 12 wins from 12 games and this draw against Western Springs College was enough to secure the Auckland Secondary Schools A1 League title, and promotion to the Premier League with a game to spare.
Rosmini College Old Boy, Callum Simmonds, who coached the team, says, “The pivotal moments in the season were a 5-3 win at home in a fiery encounter with Western Springs, and home and away wins (4-3 and 4-1) against otherwise unbeaten Rangitoto. The team has been led by consistently strong performances from defenders Dylan Sahinkaya, Zach Gabriel and Liam Playfair. Team captain Curtis Hughes and midfielder James Marshall have provided the match winning moments when really needed. Striker Brendan Acfield has top scored with 21 goals, including 6 in a 10-1 win at Kings College.”
Callum continues, “The success this year has been a culmination of three years of hard work. All 23 players in the squad have contributed in some way throughout the year. Khris Hughes' tireless work as team manager has been invaluable, as has the behind the scenes efforts of school staff, Jon Dale and Bojan Stanojevic.”

The team also successfully navigated through a difficult qualification process to earn a wildcard entry to the New Zealand Secondary Schools Premier National Tournament in Napier, with elimination playoff wins against Selwyn College (2-1) and Whangarei Boys (5-0).

Rosmini College school production: The Hound of the Baskervilles

Rosmini’s Head of Drama and Year 13 Dean, Ms Karen Bellis says, “The students have worked tirelessly in rehearsal for the last term. Regular after-school rehearsals were needed to ensure the performance was of a high standard. The cast and crew did not disappoint the audience. The actors were outstanding in their portrayal of the characters, presenting “one of the best performances Rosmini has produced,” according to several members of the audience."
Congratulations to Ms Bellis, the Director and Producer, Rosmini Old Boy Cameron Smith, the Assistant Director, and to the cast and production crew for an outstanding performance.
