Principal’s Report

Tēnā

koutou e te whānau whānui, e te hapori miharo o Rangitoto.

Ka nui te hari I runga I tō koutou kaha ki te awhina i nga kaupapa o Rangitoto.

Nō reira tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.

Greetings to you all and a warm welcome to the 2021 edition of Panorama. This edition captures the story of our Rangitoto College community in a year of surprises, challenges, progress, and growth. Through multiple lockdown challenges, we have remained committed to providing our students with an authentic and meaningful education in keeping with our ambition statement and our core values. This has enabled Rangitoto students to make outstanding progress regardless of the location of their learning.

Our commitment to excellence has been at the forefront of achievements this year. Rangitoto students are ambitious, setting themselves high targets of personal growth, whilst committing to our key strategic pillar of achieving exceptional academic outcomes. In February, we were proud to retain our place as New Zealand’s leading scholarship school with 215 scholarships awards, two Premier Scholars in Friederike Voit and Cameron Senior, and a Top in Subject Award for Genevieve Kuan. This amounted to monetary rewards of over $200,000 from NZQA, breaking previous national records, and set many of our 2020 cohort on the path to tertiary education success. Our International Baccalaureate students gained similarly outstanding results, with Guy Wearn and Grace Blakey gaining scores over 40, putting them in the top 6 per cent in the world in this prestigious qualification.

Further academic challenge has been added with a number of students participating in international competitions. Students have competed in Science, Commerce, and Informatics Olympiads, with Mason Liu and Cameron Senior placing in the top 150 in the world in Chemistry and Biology respectively, and Jasmine Jared achieving a bronze medal in Economics. For our Year 9 and 10 students, the introduction of the Junior Diploma has provided us with the opportunity to celebrate all aspects of school life and has seen a growing commitment to extra-curricular and service activities alongside the traditional academic outcomes we aim for.

Pride in performance has been evident across the Performing Arts programmes despite ongoing disruption and a loss of formal competition. From Street Dance to Choir, Theatre Sports to Chamber Music, Rangitoto students have excelled. Outstanding achievements were gained by Amelia Ullrich, named as Top Senior dancer in the New Zealand Dance awards, and Abigail Lee making it to the Top 5 National Finalists in the New Zealand School of Music Jazz Improvisation competition. For the first time, our Advanced Open Debating team won the prestigious Auckland Schools Debating competition.

Rangitoto students have performed equally well in a wide variety of sports in 2021. We were able to complete most winter sporting codes and enjoyed early success in summer sports in Term 1. With four national title winning teams and four others making the podium it has been a great year for sporting achievement. Eight teams were named as regional champions, with our Premier Basketball Boys being denied a very realistic shot at the national title by lockdown following a dominant season in the Auckland

Premier League. For the first time in our history, our Premier Volleyball Boys won the National Championships, with the girls placing third. This incredible set of achievements followed on from our Beach Volleyballers claiming two gold, one silver and two bronze medals at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Beach Volleyball Championships, with Kiana Stevenson selected into the New Zealand Junior Women’s squad. Our Sailing team backed up their success from 2020 with a dominant win in the National Team Sailing championship, winning 37 out of 40 races. Seb Menzies was named as Yachting New Zealand Young Male sailor of the year. Our Swimming team were exceptional in the pool, retaining the national title, with numerous swimmers winning individual golds. Not to be outshone, Luke Sipkes won four golds and three bronze at the Diving New Zealand Nationals. Water polo teams were once again outstanding, with both boys’ and girls’ teams winning silver in the Nationals. Our Sportswoman of the Year, Shaunna Li, achieved the phenomenal feat of three national titles in the New Zealand Badminton Open, winning the singles, doubles, and mixed events. Our joint Sportsmen of the Year, Ethan Skelton and Zach Riley, are looking to take up Basketball scholarship offers to the USA in 2022. At a participation level, we have seen many sports maintain or add to the numbers playing, and thank all the coaches, managers, staff, and parents who have enabled our students to represent the college.

Whilst we have been cut off from much of the world this year, it is important to appreciate the courage shown by our international students. Many have spent a second year away from their families in pursuit of their educational futures. I would like to thank all those responsible for their care, to their families around the world, and to the students themselves, for placing their trust in Rangitoto College. We hope that 2022 offers us the opportunity to reinvigorate this significant aspect of school life and look forward to the culture and energy that our international students bring to the school.

Covid-19 has forced many new challenges on all at Rangitoto College. I would like to thank the School Board, under the leadership of Mrs Maggie Winterstein, for their support and guidance. With the Board’s careful stewardship, we can look ahead with hope and ambition, being well placed to provide an excellent education for our families. In 2021, our teaching and support staff have been simply outstanding. Their tireless hard work, quick initiative, and huge commitment to ensuring our students have not suffered loss of opportunity, despite the lockdowns, has been remarkable to witness. To our Rangitoto students: you have been exceptional throughout the ups and downs of the year. It is often suggested that our young people lack resilience, yet this year you have gone above and beyond, coping with uncertainty, supporting each other while remaining committed to your goals. To our class of 2021, I wish you well for the journey ahead and am confident in your ability to chart your course ahead, applying the knowledge learnt and showing the compassion you have developed.

The efforts of our Rangitoto College students and staff this year make me very proud to be part of this community. I wish you all a happy, healthy, and well-deserved summer break.

Presiding Member’s Report

Māte whiritahi, ka whakatutuki ai ngā pūmanawa ā tāngata.

Together, we’ll weave the realisation of potential.

The start of 2021 was marked with the announcement that Rangitoto College had managed yet another year of exceptional educational achievement with record New Zealand scholarship results accompanied by top scholars in the IB programme, as well as significant improvement and strength across all levels of the NCEA, IB, and UE examination framework. This was the clear result of the combined effort of the talented and committed ākonga who were encouraged and supported by our experienced and knowledgeable kaiako.

It never ceases to amaze me that a truly world class education experience is available to all our students at the kura.

The vision statement of the school is ‘Great Opportunities—Great Students’. While academic success is fundamental, Rangitoto has never defined students as one-dimensional. The opportunities for students to develop into exceptional young adults is further highlighted in the college life of co-curricular activities. It can be seen in the Performing Arts programme which includes Music, Drama and Dance that extends far beyond the classroom. We see it in the myriad of school interest groups such as the Chess, Environmental, Debating, Rainbow Rangitoto, Unicef, Sustainable Coastlines, Scale Model, and the various cultural and service Clubs, no doubt formed in response to the desire for students to connect with others of like mind and give meaning to the world around them. Last, but by no means least, it can be seen in the sporting arena where Rangitoto College remains unsurpassed in New Zealand for the range of sporting activities that are available to all students to participate at all levels. Many thanks to teachers and parents who give of their time to support these endeavours for our students.

It is trite to say that the world has changed and continues to change. This has been no more evident than the arrival of Covid-19 onto our shores and into our lives.

With admirable and courageous leadership from our Principal, Mr Gale, supported by the Senior Leadership Team, the school has responded often at a moment’s notice to the challenges of providing education in a pandemic. This has included rapid movement from in-person learning

to online learning and online exams to in-person exams, ensuring the primary consideration of the safety of students was met whilst balancing and responding to concerns raised by the wider school community.

In addition, the school has had to navigate the financial constraints that have been foisted upon us due to Ministry of Education funding and the impact of the border closure on the reduction of our international students. The impact of the latter is more than financial as the International Department and the students we welcome to our kura give a vibrancy and multicultural experience that is not evident in many schools. I am grateful to the entire Board for their commitment to their roles as kaitiaki, ensuring that staff and students are supported to meet their aspirations. A special mention to the Finance Committee for their responsible and meticulous oversight of the financial position of the school. The community can be assured that the expectations they have of the highest quality resourcing for their child has been safeguarded, presently and into the future.

To the students of 2021, and in particular our Year 13 students, my hope is that out of the adversity that you have faced, you have come to a realisation that you are stronger than you ever thought possible. You are resilient and you have the mental and physical resources to help you deal with the challenges that life brings. Thank you to our Student Leaders, including those with leadership and supportive roles, who have made a tremendous contribution to the wellbeing of their fellow students.

I hope, on reflection, all students will revel in all that you have been able to achieve so far; friendships that may stay the course of your lifetime, teachers who will have a lasting impact on you well into the future, and on experiences and opportunities that will shape the person you choose to become. May you be inspired by the words of Greek philosopher Heraticlus, “Everything flows, and nothing abides, everything gives way, and nothing stays fixed.”

Mā te ako ka mārama, mā te mārama ka mātau, ma te mātau ka ora.

Through learning comes understanding, through understanding comes knowledge and wisdom, through knowledge and wisdom comes life and wellbeing.

Senior Leadership Team

Head Students

As we come to the end of Year 13, we embrace all the shared memories that made our schooling career. We become the small fish in a big pond once again as we start our lives in the big world. We have embraced challenges and demonstrated resilience through some pandemic-ridden years. Our achievements in sports and academics have shaped us into the exceptional young people we are today and none of it would’ve been possible without the care and support of our teachers, deans and friends. The effort you put into teaching us all is deeply appreciated and we honour the work that you do. As a Head Student, it has been a privilege and a pleasure to see how we’ve grown over the last five years at Rangitoto College and it has been an honour being a part of the class of 2021. Always remember that you have everything you need to be successful within you. I wish you all the best and hope to see you all in the future, Alicia. – Alicia Lemmer

As my time at Rangitoto comes to an end, I want to say thank you to everyone that has helped me on my journey. I am forever grateful to each and everyone one of you, family, friends, and teachers alike. This year was tough for all of us so congrats to everyone that has made it to the end of the year through lockdowns and online learning. It was difficult but the resilience that we showed proves that nothing can get in the way of us doing great things in the future. I have so many memories from these five years that I will never forget and many friendships that I know will last a lifetime. Good luck to everyone on any future endeavours that you may have, work hard, and continue to be the great people that I have come to know over the last five years. – Kieran Munro

When I attempt to recall the past five years collectively, they come in blurry flashes that are difficult to fathom. In the far future I will not remember the

details of the events that unfolded day after day in this place, but I’ll always remember the feeling that was eminent throughout this part of my life. Joy. One that precedes the beginning, only to be fully realised now that I’m here at the end.

This is a journey that I am grateful to have undertaken, and honoured to have spent this time alongside such amazing people; teachers who show the extent of the belief they have in their students by fully committing themselves to the art of teaching every moment they teach. I am inspired by your dedication and care. I have met incredible friends who have helped me step through every step. Should the future unveil endeavours that resonate with you, I hope that you’ll have the same courage you’ve taught me, and reach for the potential that is yours. – Alex Pham

We tentatively walked through the gates of Rangitoto College five years ago. Now, we walk out these gates for the last time, our hearts a little crumpled with sentiment, alongside the lifelong friends we have made during our time here. Reflecting upon the years, I am filled with so much gratitude for all the cherished memories and experiences that Rangitoto College has gifted me. It has been my honour to have learned such valuable lessons from a group of talented and resilient individuals that will resonate with me for the rest of my life; thank you for being part of my story and allowing me to be a part of yours. Additionally, I will never forget my gratitude for our teachers who have unconditionally supported us in facilitating our academic growth and also the development of our personal values. Congratulations to the class of 2021 for not only overcoming but conquering the challenging past years. Keep being the positive and motivated students you are. Ngā mihi nui, noho ora mai. – Kelly Cha

Tū Rangatira

“Mā mua ka kite a muri. Mā muri ka ora a mua”. Those who lead give sight to those behind them. Those behind them give life to

Rangatira is a form class open to any student, of any ethnicity, who is interested in exploring the values and knowledge of Te Ao Māori during tutor time. Tū Rangatira literally means “to stand like a chief.” Our tutor class is composed of Māori, Pasifika, Pākehā and South African students who are passionate about learning in a Te Ao Māori setting. In 2021 our Tū Rangatira students sought positions of leadership through sporting codes, cultural activities, academic pursuits, and volunteer work. Pairing Māori tikanga with Rangitoto College’s values, Tū Rangatira students demonstrate an ongoing commitment to Te Ao Māori, through kapa haka, Te Reo, school service activities—for instance pōwhiri, and school sports. Tū Rangatira students wear formal uniform every Monday and their formal ties differ from other school ties at Rangitoto, as students in the form class must first earn the right to wear one through overcoming a personal challenge or obstacle. In this manner, to wear the Tū Rangatira tie carries mana tangata, as it has been awarded by the class community for personal excellence and courage.

Students in Tū Rangatira have found the experience personally enriching through developing their leadership skills and tikanga Māori.

Mikaela Keer-Keer: Tū Rangatira in 2021 gave me the ability to further my cultural development beyond reo. I am astronomically grateful for the opportunity that Matua and Whaea gave me and the pride that I carry because of the success of Tū Rangatira.

Oskar Williams: Tū Rangatira was such a positive experience—I have learned so much about leadership and Te Ao Māori. If you have the chance, apply!

The last word for 2021, goes to Dani Maylam, Year 13: “Poipoia te kākano kia puawai, the seed of our knowledge has been planted as we now set off into the world.”

The Rangitoto Māori & Pasifika Leadership programme is now in its fourth year, run by Kairuruku, Davina Dean. The students selected to lead our school whānau work on events, initiatives, and promoting Māori and Pasifika cultures in our school, as well as developing their own leadership potential. Year 13: Mikaela Keer-Keer, Reuben James, Dani Maylam, Capri Petelo, Janine Lao, Raven Naea Year 12: Tamati Kingi, Rylee Hollran, Brooke Kingi, Bianca Tiatia, Soane Abraham, Nathanael Ellis-Kirifi Year 11: JJ Wilson, Rosalie Gerlach, and Alysha Osborne those who lead.

Commerce

At the start of the year, we welcomed two new teachers to the department; Grace Love in Economics and Business Studies and Jan Campbell in Accounting. We also welcomed back Dianne Purcell to Programming and Digital Technology.

Despite another year affected by Covid-19, we were fortunate enough to be able to include trips to Chelsea Sugar Refinery and the Waihi Goldmine for our Economics students, and for our Business Studies students to take part in market days at the school, in Browns Bay, in Takapuna, and in Coatesville.

Year 9 and 10 BEC

During Term 2, the Year 10s enjoyed learning about the decisions the Government makes in regards to taxation and spending. With the annual budget being announced in May, the timing of the topic led to some very heated discussions.

Our Year 9 students got a good taste of our three commerce subjects this year. Financial capability was also a popular part of the course. Students explored the concepts of income, spending, borrowing, and budgeting. Searching for a flat on Trade Me and budgeting for living costs was an enjoyable project for students.

Accounting

As well as reporting financial information for a sole trader, our Year 11 students covered personal financial decision making. They spent time planning for a skiing holiday at two NZ destinations— researching their costs, preparing a cash budget, and using financial and non-financial information to make an informed decision about which holiday option to choose.

Year 12 students learnt to use Xero accounting software to set up an accounting system, record transactions, and generate financial reports for a fictional business. Xero was also used to illustrate the accounts receivable and inventory subsystems, and how an accounting system can be used to manage these vital parts of a business operation.

Our Year 13 students focused on partnership, job cost, company, and management accounting. They also examined the profitability, liquidity, cash management, and share market performance of Restaurant Brands. They factored in the current and possible future economic environment, and then made an investment recommendation regarding shares in Restaurant Brands.

Year 9 DGT

The Year 9 Digital Technology course is into its second year and students continue to develop creative digital outcomes such as animations and digital infographics inspired by the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We have been pushing ahead learning and acquiring new capabilities using the BBC Micro:bits. Inspired by the challenges brought about by Covid-19 and social distancing, students developed programs on the Micro:bits to warn each other when they got too close to each other using Bluetooth signals. Year 10 students have been further developing their understanding of computational thinking while learning to code in JavaScript to create interactive quizzes. They have also been channelling their creativity into designing their own games through industry standard software.

Business Studies

Students in Business Studies continue to have opportunities to develop their academic and business abilities. The Year 13 Business Activity, which is run over three months, has had some phenomenal products this year, including personal alarm kits for shift workers, at-home make your own bubble tea kits, reading glass cleaning kits, and fidget jewellery, specifically designed for individuals with ADHD.

Year 11 and 12 students put their manufacturing, sales, and marketing skills to the test in market days. Year 11 students rose early on a sunny Saturday to offer refreshments to football and rugby fans at the school, while Year 12 students sold at local community markets. Successful products included candles, dog treats, cheeseboards, wax wraps, and jewellery. Students have also interviewed friends and family on marketing, motivation, and recruitment in order to gain a deeper understanding of how businesses conduct themselves. This has allowed students to have practical knowledge of how businesses can prepare in the ever-changing commercial landscape of the future.

Economics

2021 has been another fascinating year for the New Zealand economy with a particular focus on its economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic and, as a result, our senior Economics students have enjoyed some fanastic discussions.

The year commenced with a day trip to the Oceana Gold Mine in Waihi for our Year 13 students. The purpose of the trip was to learn about gold production and its negative side effects on the surrounding town of Waihi. Seeing the open-cast mine was a highlight for students and they were able to collect valuable information for their internal assessment on market failure.

A highlight of the year for our Year 11 students was a trip to the Chelsea Sugar Refinery during Term 1. Here we explored the concept of interdependence, observing how Chelsea has mutual reliance with all sectors of the economy.

In June, the University of Auckland Economics Competition was sat by some of our senior students. Dino Trieu, Samuel Wong, Jasmine Jared, Daniel Gover, Oliver Zhang, Richard Li, Ella Lin, Ethan Quach, Jinju Schwarz, and Youngju Jung all received High Distinction awards, placing them in the top 10% of participants across the country.

Additionally, Jasmine Jared of Year 12 was selected for the team to represent New Zealand at the International Economics Olympiad. Only 5 students were selected for the team and Jasmine was the only female and Year 12 student to be selected. Covid-19 meant that the team could not travel to Latvia and instead got up at midnight each day for 5 days to take part. The Olympiad concluded on 1st August and New Zealand came in 9th position out of a total of 44 nations.

ICT & Programming

This is the first year for our new Level 1 Digital Technology course where students have had the opportunity to explore a wide range of skills and knowledge in multimedia and programming. Earlier in the year they developed elegantly designed websites, followed by programs written in Python. They then followed their preferred specialised pathway in Digital Technology.

Senior ICT students have had the opportunity to explore a wider range of multimedia projects including 3D modelling of industrial design concepts, such as a design for solar powered car.

Year 12 programming students this year have been learning computer security and encryption. During the year they were given the opportunity to set up their own local networks to enable multiple players to host connect to community games.

Our Level 3 students have been learning about formal languages, network communication protocols, and big data. We had a range of senior students participate in the NZ Informatics competition. One of our Year 13 students came third while one of our Year 12 students was selected as one of the team to represent NZ in the International Olympiad in Informatics.

English

“Literature is where I go to explore the highest and lowest places in human society and in the human spirit, where I hope to find not absolute truth but the truth of the tale, of the imagination and of the heart.” – Salman Rushdie

Two of the central pillars of the English Department at Rangitoto College are the study of language and the study of literature. These two things go hand in hand: we want our students to read some of the great works of literature from both New Zealand and the world, and we want them to have the vocabulary and facility with language to be able to do it. Literature is the golden ticket in the chocolate bar that allows us to cross the boundaries of time and space. Through books, we get a view of life from the perspectives of people very different from ourselves in all the categories of human society: age, society, race, gender, religion, class. Reading books helps us understand and empathise with other people and gives us insight into their lives. It also helps us reflect on our own society, to be critical, and to consider what kind of world we want to live in.

We live in a time when many schools are dismantling their libraries and removing novels and Shakespeare—anything that challenges students’ reading abilities—from the curriculum. At Rangitoto College, on the other hand, we have the privilege of a truly beautiful library, well-stocked with books for every reading level and interest, fiction and nonfiction. The English Department is able to take full advantage of the library,

including the use of the Reading Rooms, and we intentionally invest time and energy into promoting reading both for pleasure and for intellectual development. We see true literacy as something far beyond the simple ability to read and write; true literacy is the ability to read and interpret complex books, plays and poetry, and to be able to discuss and write about them in an academic setting. To achieve this, students need to read, read widely, and read as much as they can.

On the subject of books, it has been a great pleasure for us to have seen the publication of the first two novels written by Chloe Gong, a past Rangitoto College student. Chloe’s books, set in 1920s Shanghai, are exciting and beautifully written, taking their titles from a quotation from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Her first book, These Violent Delights, came out at the end of last year and the sequel, Our Violent Ends, was released this year. Chloe, who recently graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, is now a New York Times bestselling author. Congratulations, Chloe, we are massively proud of you and will follow your career with much interest!

15 CURRICULUM

We hope that current students can take inspiration from Chloe’s success. We offer a number of clubs in the department for students who are interested in writing, including a Creative Writing Club, a Spoken Word Club, and a Journalism Club. We also have an online publication run by the English Department called Slings and Arrows which publishes excellent writing by students at all levels at the college.

The English Department staff saw some changes at the end of last year with two people, Cameron Lacey and Zoe Rogers, leaving to go into Assistant Head of Department positions at other schools, and another, Jessica Lane, moving into a Head of Department position. We are always sad to see people go, but we wish them all the best as they move on in their careers. We also welcomed several new people into the Department. Two first year teachers, Carmelita Maletino and Ye Sul Kim, joined us and are proving to be worth their weight in gold, bringing much enthusiasm and passion for the craft of teaching.

We are also very lucky to have Jess Kitt join our staff. Jess, who has been teaching in Australia for some years and who has now returned to New Zealand, has taken on the role of Curriculum Leader for Year 11 English.

We are also delighted to welcome Rebecca Jessup, who returned to New Zealand after teaching the International Baccalaureate programme at an all-boys school in Hong Kong for ten years and who brings a wealth of knowledge about the IB English programme. In Term 3, Erin Atchison joined the Department, picking up classes from Sally Taylor who went on maternity leave to await the birth of Penelope. Congratulations, Sally, and welcome to the department, Erin. Erin has a PhD from the University of Edinburgh and has a huge knowledge base about literature, including New Zealand literature. We are so pleased to have Erin as part of the whānau.

Many thanks to our wonderful administrator, Kathy Pillbrow, for all her hard work in the Resource Centre. She is kind and helpful to both staff and students, doing everything with positivity and good humour. And a final thank you to the people who keep E-block humming: the extraordinary teachers. As ever, in 2021, they have gone above and beyond the call of duty, teaching in classrooms, online, giving up many hours of their time to ensure that students can be their best academic selves. Enjoy a well-deserved and relaxing summer break. Ka kite.

Media Studies

2021 served as a reminder that the media is a mirror into our world, sometimes wonderful, and sometimes unnerving. The storming of the Capital in the U.S. and the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban provided some of the darker media moments of 2021, alongside the levity of Tik Tok and Bean Dad. Meanwhile, Bezos and Branson’s flights into space and Kanye’s release of his album Donda were some of the years ‘spectacles’. However, rising above it all, the Olympics and Paralympics provided a wonderful moment of shared experience around the globe, a moment that celebrated humanity, something many of us perhaps needed after what was an incredibly tough 2020.

We had a bumper Year 13 this year with a total of four classes. This was a massive undertaking, particularly when it came to their film production. In total, our Year 13 students produced 36 short films over the course of just eight weeks. This was a production schedule that relied heavily on the guidance of their teachers to help groups through. Quite a few students had never taken the subject before, but they all rose to the challenge and produced some great film noir sequences. It’s always great seeing suburban North Shore streets and locations turned into the backdrop for dark crime stories about doomed heroes. However, the most enjoyable part of Year 13 film production is what the students bring to it and seeing them create great dramatic action scenes.

Term 3 in the department is usually a time for running through halls from monsters and cautiously walking through darkened hallways. Unfortunately, the lockdown period hit our Year 12 at the worst possible time. Only a few weeks into their production with their horror sequences, the students had to put a hold on their films and wait until we could return to school. With all the shutdowns of film productions around the world in 2020, it did feel, with great irony, we were giving them an

unfortunate ‘real world experience’ of the modern filming environment. At the time of writing, we still have no idea about the eventual outcome for our Year 12 production. However, I am sure that they put the knowledge that their research into the horror genre taught them into practice: horror doesn’t die, it just adapts!

Luckily, lockdown did not hinder the Year 11 production and the students were able to have a normal experience. This year, our students had fun creating their own crime drama opening sequences, learning to build tension, jump scares and suspense. It is always great seeing students discover their own talent and learn the craft of filmmaking. Outside of production, the Year 11s also explored the shifting landscape of modern media consumption and the questionable taste, at times, and power of reality TV. We want students to build a critical eye towards the media, an increasingly necessary skill in the modern world!

ESOL

The Covid-19 pandemic brought a different type of atmosphere to the ESOL department in 2021. Gone were the lockdowns and, instead, ‘locked in’ was a feeling that added to many of our students’ stress levels. For a large proportion of our students (both international and resident), this was another year they could not travel home to see their families during the holidays. Our students are to be commended for their resilience during a very worrying and unsettling time.

On this page, we have presented some of our students’ written work from the various courses we provide.

For English language learning students, ESOL courses replace English courses in the English department.

Our foundation-reception students were outstanding this year. All the teachers in the FRELL programme spoke very highly of the focus and rapid progress this group of students made.

Our students in ESOLPR and ESOLIN build their knowledge about language and literature at a simple level. Both courses use a type of assessment known as English Language (EL) unit standards. This year’s

ESOLIN students undertook a new speaking unit standard and all the EL standards give students credits towards Level 1 or Level 2 NCEA.

In ESOLPR, students studied written verse to build their knowledge about the importance of language techniques for specific text types. The focus was on the poetic text type known as haiku. Here are some examples of our students’ writing.

A Summer haiku

Students in our 1ESOL and UE courses study for English achievement standards. For students in 1ESOL and UEL, these assess their knowledge of language in authentic written literature and film. In the case of UER, students also read authentic literature of their choice and carry out assessed research. Many parents don’t realise that at Rangitoto College, students in 1ESOL and our UEL and UER courses are actually attempting regular English achievement standards. Our UER and UEL students can gain up to 20 Level 2 English credits and 17 of those give them university entrance literacy.

Here is a response to a text for the wide-reading assessment in the level 1 ESOL course. The issues the student read about and responded to became current events again this year, emphasising the relevance of literature to real life.

After reading Parvana, written by Deborah Ellis, I was impressed. Parvana’s family shows us the miserable life of the Afghan people under the control of the Taliban. It makes me think deeply about gender equality, courage, and life which are the three main themes in the story. Parvana lives in Afghanistan with her family. Life there is controlled by the Taliban. The Taliban had ordered all the girls and women in Afghanistan to stay inside their homes. They even forbade the girls to go to school. Women must wear a burqa and only their eyes can be seen. At first, I thought it was made up by the writer because it doesn’t seem like it can happen in 1996. The truth is this is real and [lasted] until 2001 [when] the Taliban failed. Females can go outside again.

In my opinion it’s against human rights. We are all born as equal[s] you can’t treat anyone as an object because of your religious beliefs. I feel sad about what the females were suffering at that time in Afghanistan.

Parvana makes me think about Mulan. Both of them pretend to be boys [and] they fight for their family. However Mulan was chosen to replace her father to join the army, whereas Parvana was forced by war and life. Mulan became a hero in the end but Parvana did all of the things to just keep her family alive, which I think makes her the greatest kid in the world.

As this year’s Panorama was being prepared, we once again went into a Covid-19 Level 4 lockdown. Our students and teachers must be praised for impressively rising to the challenges lockdowns bring and their ability to continue teaching and learning under trying circumstances.

Gateway

2021 saw a growth in numbers with four classes across Year 12 and 13. The teachers of the classes were all deans which added another layer of individual pastoral care to our students.

The beginning of the year saw students learning about themselves and researching career pathways to discover what may be a good fit for them. During the year, they all attended a Great Success customer service course and a Problem Solving course, as well as a number of students completing courses in Health and Safety, flight attending, barista, animal care, I.T., early childhood education, adventure tourism, rugby refereeing, and others. This laid an excellent foundation for their next step.

For most students, the highlight of Gateway is having the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with a work placement. Industries included early childhood, construction, electrical, social work, tourism, plumbing, retail, teaching, and more. Placements give students an insight into what it’s like in a real workplace and we thank all of our wonderful employers for giving students this opportunity to prepare themselves for whatever their future plans may be.

So what’s next for our Gateway students? Some are returning to school, others are going on to tertiary study, and a number are starting, or have already started, an apprenticeship. Gateway provides an excellent platform for students to make informed decisions on their future and we wish them all every success in their career journey.

Year 12 Camp

This year’s Year 12 Leadership camp was one of the highlights of the year. We were very lucky to be able to go on a camp with six Year 12 classes to have a leadership experience at one of Auckland’s gems—Motutapu Island. We had an action-packed four days of outdoor education experiences where students interacted with the local environment in an active and challenging manner. The key point of this was for students to share their leadership experiences in an authentic environment and have lots of fun on the way. There were a series of both land and water-based activities which included waka ama, sailing, flying Kiwi, confidence courses, and an overnight camp. This was a great experience for students and staff which got our year off to a very positive start.

Health and Physical Education Scholarship

Congratulations to the 15 students awarded Health and Physical Education (HPE) Scholarships in 2020. These students are in the top 3% of all Level 3 Health and Physical Education students in New Zealand. A special mention must go to Ashley Huddart (Year 11), Cameron Senior (Year 12), and Genevieve Kuan (Year 13) who were awarded three out of the 12 outstanding scholarships for 2020.

Genevieve was the top HPE scholar in all of NZ with a perfect 24 from 24.

The success of previous recipients has been a catalyst for generating interest from a wide variety of students in this year’s programme. In 2021, we have increased in size, with our cluster group having an additional 30 students in the 13PSS scholarship programme, all of whom are passionate about exploring societal issues that impact wellbeing.

The 2021 Scholarship Programme got underway early in Term2, students participated in eight weekly interactive tutorials centred around gaining further HPE knowledge and applying critical thinking skills to challenge perspectives on relevant issues in society.

Throughout Term 3, students refined their Scholarship topic and began the research process. Unfortunately, a large part of this process occurred during the lockdown period and required a lot of self-motivation and dedication. Utilising their mentor teacher for personalised feedback and guidance during this stage has been instrumental in supporting students to produce a report that aligns with the marking criteria.

Well done to all 2021 Health and Physical Education Scholarship candidates for your tireless commitment to the programme.

“Health and PE scholarship has given me the opportunity to explore issues in health and sport at New Zealand and global levels, and allowed me to research avenues that interest me. I have learnt to effectively critically evaluate, and applying this skill to a larger project has developed my ability to view an issue from all sides.”

– Ashley Huddart, Year 12 Junior Health and Physical Education

Junior Health and Physical Education

Term 1 saw a focus on the Knowledge Rich Curriculum. This new approach saw the Junior Physical Education programme be implemented over both Years 9 and 10 so to allow the knowledge to be imbedded over a two year period. By the end of Year 10, students had a sound understanding of being a Rangitoto mover, game sense, biophysical components (both theory and practical), and principles and methods of training that were tested. Students took part in a programme that emphasised class collaboration, aerobic conditioning, physical testing, and team and group leadership. During the extensive lockdown period in Term 3, Year 9 and 10 students completed activities focusing on interval training, continuous training, creating activities in their environment and logging the activity that they completed. Many online tools were used to deliver the curriculum: Jamboard, Socrative, Google Classroom/Meet/Breakout rooms and Online Activity to name a few. Lockdown gave the students and teachers the opportunity to learn how to deliver a practical subject online. At the start of Term 4 after an extended period of lockdown as well as keeping with the theme of class collaboration, the emphasis was on getting the students active. This allowed for a “Return to College” activity programme that saw an extensive variety of sports, activities, modified and newly constructed games to be offered to students to participate in. There was an excellent response from students with exceptional participation rates, personal and collective enjoyment, and a sense of competitive spirit.

Junior Health follows a knowledge rich curriculum where students have enjoyed learning about hauora, resilience, nutrition, sexuality education, and alcohol and drug education. These topics underpin the key concepts of Health which extend into all facets of life. Lockdown has presented challenges for students in the sense of a change in routine and we have adapted our curriculum to check with students and encourage them to focus on positive well-being.

During Term 1, students evaluated different methods of treating mental health disorders. The students participated in guided yoga, Pilates, meditation, mindfulness, and boot camp at the Millennium Institute of Sport and Health. They investigated complementary and alternative medicine practices and reported how these practices supported general well-being and positive mental health. In Term 2, students debated a current ethical issue in relation to well-being. Perspectives were analysed and arguments presented with consideration of the legal position, cultural norms, human rights, social justice, and equity. Later in the year, students explored global issues relating to poverty that impact health and wellbeing.

Year 12

Year 12 Students this year explored change situations. By recognising steps and strategies resilient individuals use, they gained an appreciation of how to continue working through tough times. Learning about support systems at a community and nationwide level enabled students to access individual support and educate others who may need this assistance.

Sexuality and gender are two topics that are controversial throughout the world. By exploring deeply embedded cultural norms and policies, students were able to understand the factors influencing individuals to accept or reject societal norms. Recognising the importance of interpersonal skills in influencing unsafe working and school environments enabled students to analyse when and where people may encounter conflict.

Interacting and engaging with the school and local community to enhance well-being was a focus for Term 2. Students took social actions which included addressing student self-image, the health impact of stress, and the importance of strategies to address mental health. Throughout the year, all content encouraged students to look at global health issues and the role these play in developing our culture and encouraging social justice. We are extremely proud of students’ efforts, ranging from volunteering with the Salvation Army, through to organising their own food drives and setting up support programmes for students within the school.

Year 11

In Year 11, students worked on maintaining and managing changes to enhance relationships. They practised interpersonal skills by having assertive conversations and demonstrating effective listening skills. Students went rock climbing at the AUT Millennium Institute to practically apply these interpersonal skills by trusting their partners through blindfolded rock climbing. Students have also investigated the effects of change on well-being, with a particular focus on the Christchurch earthquakes. The end of year examination has a focus on drugs and alcohol, personal well-being, and decision making.

We are immensely proud of all our students with how well they have coped during what has been a very challenging year. It is obvious they have applied Health curriculum strategies to help themselves and others in this unprecedented time.

International Baccalaureate

An International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma indicates to a future university that a student is capable of managing the demands of undergraduate studies. Rangitoto’s IB students this year have continued to impress us both in their academic achievements and also in the broader elements of the IB programme. The IB programme continues to grow within the school providing a second pathway to students in their final two years of school.

Rangitoto’s IB students enjoy the wider IB Core elements of their programme: Theory of Knowledge—TOK (a critical thinking course), Extended Essay—EE (an independent, university style, research project) and Creativity, Action and Service—CAS (ensures their academics balance with a wider worldview). Rangitoto’s IB students have also celebrated achievements in external New Zealand and worldwide competitions.

IB students have enjoyed learning inside and outside of the classroom this year. Mr Olsson, Ms Jessup and the Year 12 TOK students attended the Life of Galileo performance at ASB Waterfront Theatre. Galileo was one of the fathers of critical thinking. Students enjoyed learning about his life and the struggles he faced due to his critical approach to life. Year 12 English Literature students also enjoyed their trip to the Pumphouse Theatre where they saw The Crucible.

While academic achievement is obviously vital when a student seeks university entry, so is the ability for the tertiary institution to see that the student has wider interests and is a good citizen. This year our IB students spent the day involved in a variety of service activities including tree planting, cooking for the elderly, providing service at school, and at the SPCA.

2020 IB Results

• 100% over 24 points.

• Two students placed in the top 6% in the world. Guy Wearn gained 43 points (top 3% in the world) and Grace Blakey gained 41 points (top 6% in the world).

• Average point score of 33 (world average is 29).

• Subject points average 5.4 (world average 5.0).

Languages

After all the cancellations that occurred in 2020, we were delighted to go ahead with the annual National Spanish Debate Competition hosted by the Spanish Teachers Association New Zealand Aotearoa (STANZA). As the most recent competition winner, Rangitoto College had the privilege of hosting this event, which saw a number of teams from other high schools visit for the day to compete in intense interschool debates on a wide range of topics—all in Spanish. The day began with a pōwhiri led by our school’s Kapa Haka group, which was a wonderful opportunity to see a range of cultures integrated in one place to welcome the guests to the competition. Year 10 languages student Cuba Rihari stunned our guests by welcoming them in both Te Reo Māori and in Spanish, transitioning between the two languages with confidence and fluidity.

Rangitoto College entered two teams made up of Year 12 and 13 students who both fought well and won a debate each against of the different schools. At the end of the day, there was also a Best Speaker competition where scores from the day were tallied to find a top four candidates who then competed in an impromptu speech competition. Year 13 student Sophia Hepper won second place overall after delivering an impressive speech on whether New Zealand should make electric cars mandatory. A big congratulations to the winning team from Auckland Grammar School who won the intensive final debate against Green Bay High School, and congratulations to our school teams who competed and did our school proud! We would also like to thank all of the teachers and student helpers who made this event possible and go as well as it did. ¡Qué genial!

Speech competitions were also a highlight in Chinese this year. Our talented students in the senior Chinese classes participated in the Chinese Bridge Speech Competition and Yujin Park, a Year 13 student, was

awarded the second prize in the National Speech Competition and the first prize in the Auckland Regional Competition. Yujin will represent New Zealand to compete in the International Speech Competition in October. Congratulations Yujin!

Alex Jung, a Year 11 student, was awarded the second prize in the Auckland Regional Competition, and he also won the Best Creative Performance for his fantastic music video.

Our Year 11 students Eva Bennett, Chris Hewitt, and Sebastian Camus Rogers were awarded third prize and merit in the competition.

Thankfully, the Year 12 Chinese class was able to go on their restaurant trip right before Term 3’s lockdown. Learning a language is not only about the language itself; cultural understanding is essential, and food is an important aspect that enriches a student’s cultural knowledge. Málà tàng 麻辣烫 is a well-known Chinese food, similar to Huǒguō 火锅, but can be customized to individual tastes. Sadly, the senior French students had a restaurant trip planned for the week after lockdown struck. To make up for it, we held a French-themed virtual bake-off during online learning. This helped us to learn about some regional French delicacies, and our bubblemembers were more than happy to sample the goods!

The Languages Department has been so lucky to have our wonderful French and Spanish Language Assistants, Sandy Chassagne and Beatriz Blanco Regalado stay with us for a second year. Bea and Sandy enriched our language classes by providing an invaluable source of up-to-date linguistic and cultural input for our students, always with enthusiasm and energy! We have loved having them with us and we wish them all the best for their return to Europe.

As once said by Laini Taylor, “Peace is more than the absence of war. Peace is accord. Harmony.” I have had the pleasure of learning Japanese since Year 9, and I am grateful for taking this subject as I got the opportunity to expand my knowledge about another culture. Moreover, participation in traditional activities helped me increase my understanding of the language. Despite the unfortunate events happening around us, we are still able to celebrate Hiroshima’s Commemoration Day. Various activities such as watching Grave of the Fireflies gave us a sense of sympathy towards those who lived in Japan when war was happening. Through this, students from different year levels had the chance to fold a thousand cranes; sent to Hiroshima Peace Park. The thousand cranes symbolise our wish to keep the world a safe place. I am thankful for the amazing teachers that have taught me up to Year 12. Without a doubt, taking Japanese has been a pleasure thanks to my peers and teachers helping me. Taking up another language, especially Japanese, is something that will stick with me forever.

Mātauranga Māori

Mātauranga Māori is celebrated at Rangitoto College through many academic options available to students. 2021, saw the greatest number of students yet enrolled in Te Reo Māori. Our Te Reo programme at Rangitoto College was recognised for its success in Te Reo teaching, named in Metro Magazine’s top 10 schools in Auckland for Level 1 Te Reo Māori. This year, two of our Te Reo learners, Calais Norman (Y10) and Tamati Kingi (Y12) successfully represented Rangitoto at the annual Manu Kōrero Speech Competition, held at Waiorea, Western Springs College. They both demonstrated such mana and courage, and their speeches were an inspiration to others, who have already expressed their intention to enter in 2022!

Rangitoto students have also studied Mātauranga Māori through the developing programme of Māori Practical Arts. These are practical art classes which focus on weaving together tikanga Māori through design and carving, constructing deep knowledge around language, symbols, and visual texts.

Students enrolled in Māori performing arts grew their knowledge of Te Reo and performance through waiata, mōteatea and haka. In 2022, these junior programmes are extending into NCEA courses through the senior school. It is an exciting time for Mātauranga Māori at Rangitoto College. Whaowhia te kete mātauranga! Tīhei Mauri Ora!

Māori carving is a fun practical arts subject that has taught me the meanings behind the designs of māori whakairo. Māori carving is a collaborative environment for us to be able to share our ideas. We learned how to tell a story through our artwork by carving wood to create depth and shape. In lockdown, it is a bit more challenging to do practical carving, so instead, Matua Terei got creative and we used soap to carve a Wheku. Māori carving is a subject that caters for everyone.

Learning Support

The Koru Programme

The Koru programme is a small multi-level class, offering students opportunities to practise the skills needed for their path beyond Rangitoto College whilst gaining some credits at NCEA. It is designed to meet the needs of each individual student, offering Unit standards at Levels 1 and 2 and at a supported level. It follows a more practical approach with students creating CVs, practising interview techniques, learning about the use of money, and creating a budget. We also offer support to enable students to attain their driving licence. In addition, we complete ‘world of work activities’, including placements in the local community when appropriate.

Year 13 Volunteer Programme

Each year, we offer Year 13 students the opportunity to give back to the school by donating one of their study periods to support a junior student who has additional needs. The response was very positive with more than 50 students signing up which is a wonderful reflection on our college community. The training includes disability awareness and giving students an idea of how it feels to be challenged by additional needs, both learning and physical. The students were addressed by an ex-student Mackenzie Kench who has severe athetoid cerebral palsy and speaks through a computer which she operates with her toe. She explained the best qualities of a support person from a first-hand perspective. This year we were able to host Mackenzie in person, and the students were inspired by her talk and gained some valuable insight into positive approaches for the students they were to meet.

Special Olympics

What a successful first six months for our Special Olympians. The year began with a hot and sunny day at the Millennium Stadium and our athletes were full of enthusiasm and energy. There were a variety of both track and field events with around 120 competitors from the North Shore colleges. Highlights of the day included excellent performances from newcomers Jane and Leo, in shotput and javelin, and William Carpenter in Year 11 won the senior shotput. The students were also successful in the track events culminating in the senior relay team placing 1st with a 50m lead. The next event, the football tournament, was an absolute cracker. Although we were only able to send a small squad to the football tournament, we were very competitive in all our games. After an exhausting day, the Rangitoto team placed third. Unfortunately, the last two events were cancelled due to Covid-19 lockdowns. However, the athletes truly lived up to the oath of Special Olympics: “Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.” This year special thanks has to go to the 16 students from the Rangitoto Service Committee who not only helped run events, but also cheered on all the athletes, creating a really wonderful atmosphere.

Library

Our library is a multipurpose space. We are so lucky to have multiple rooms to allow many different activities and events to be hosted at the same time. Our reading rooms provide a comfortable environment for students to read quietly; every English and ESOL class has a booked time to come and enjoy reading on the cushions and armchairs. The rooms are also used as practice spaces for Korean and Chinese nights, hosting visiting authors, Book Club, Rainbow Rangi, and other meetings during the year. There are three areas that teachers can book for students to use the library resources for research. At other times, our Year 13 students utilise these spaces during their study periods and, out of class time, there are many students who like to do their homework or tutoring here. The silent study room is the only totally quiet room in the school and both students and teachers value this space as a place to work and study while being able to totally focus on their work. The scholarship room is for collaborative learning; our senior students meet here to study and work together. They particularly like being able to use the whiteboards to do complex maths problems.

Additionally, the library space can be transformed into one big open space when we push the shelves out of the way, such as when we hosted the North Shore Readers Cup competition this year. This flexibility allows us to make the library a place that is important to everyone—the heart of the school. None of this would be possible without the amazing librarians who work to make the library welcoming and inclusive. Thank you to all our 70 student librarians and four adult librarians for your commitment to providing a fabulous library.

Mathematics

t the beginning of Term 2, we welcomed Ms Cattanach back from maternity leave and it very quickly seemed like she’d never been away. It’s been great to see her continued enthusiasm in the classroom.

Also in Term 2, Mr Udy-Bothwell was finally able to enjoy the prestigious ten week sabbatical he was awarded in 2020. This fully-funded sabbatical reflected his outstanding contribution to mathematics education and his long service at Rangitoto College and previous schools. He was originally intending to spend the time attending a range of international mathematics education conferences, but Covid-19 meant that instead he spent his time in New Zealand participating in virtual conferences. Ms McDonald did an excellent job of looking after the leadership of Level 3 in his absence.

Competitions, Extension and Acceleration

Over the last 12 months, it has been really pleasing to see some of our senior students take an active role in fostering and developing the next generation of mathematical talent. In particular, students from the International Baccalaureate Creativity, Action, and Service group, and students from Year 12 and 13 Calculus have been training and supporting junior students every Tuesday lunchtime for challenges including the Otago Junior Maths, Canterbury Kiwi Maths, and the Australian Mathematics Competition. The students, led by Ethan Lu and Mason Liu, recently planned and hosted the Rangitoto Mathex selection rounds, Rangimathex. Over 20 teams and 100 students were pitted against each other in a fast-paced chain game with four top sides selected to represent the College in the upcoming Auckland Mathex Championships.

Another exciting development was the hosting of the North Auckland branch of the national Maths Olympiad workshops and the setting up of a

Sadly, Mr Bissett left the department at the end of Term 2, ending his daily commute from over the Harbour Bridge. Mr Bissett was a valued member of the department’s leadership team and an excellent teacher who will be missed by his colleagues and students. He had been working for Rangitoto College for five years, his second period at Rangitoto, and he had contributed a great deal to the department and the wider school. Mr Bissett’s departure led to some leadership opportunities within the department, with Ms Walles, Ms Sanderson, and Ms Curtis all taking on acting leadership roles until the end of the year while we consider the leadership structure. All three are making significant contributions to the success of our department and ākonga.

junior group that attracts, not only Rangitoto students, but also students from Westlake Girls’ High and Kristin College. It is hoped that these developments will flourish in their new home in the school library after school on alternate Wednesdays.

With our best ever success in the Calculus Scholarships, 15 Scholarships including two Outstanding Scholars, the extension programme is growing with more and more opportunities and content being offered to all our extension students. It has been unfortunate that delays due to pandemic effects mean that any more results from this year’s efforts will have to wait until Panorama 2022 for publication.

Finally, next year will see even more developments with our new senior student team of Alex Kang, Jessica Wang, and Rihoko Suzuki taking over the leadership roles under the guidance of Mr Craik.

Junior Curriculum

This year, our juniors have been exploring all strands of the New Zealand Curriculum. Our teachers this year have made a huge effort to develop students’ mathematical vocabulary and retrieval strength—two of the college’s teaching principles. We believe that a focus on mathematical language will give students confidence and allow them to access material needed to be successful in this subject area. Retrieval practice will equip students with the capability to recall learning and apply knowledge in a variety of contexts throughout their mathematical journey.

Year 9 students have been focusing on building a solid foundation in number, measurement, algebra, graphs, geometry and probability. As well as developing the key mathematical skills, students have been working on applying these in order to solve a range of unfamiliar problems.

Year 10 students have been focusing on solidifying and furthering their understanding of Mathematics in the areas started in Year 9. They have also had the opportunity to sit two NCEA internal assessments and gain up to seven Level 1 credits. The first assessment involved applying numeric reasoning to solve a problem and the second involved interpreting statistical bivariate data. After two years our junior students are well prepared for senior mathematics, having been exposed to both mathematical and statistical concepts.

Senior Curriculum

Level 1

Our Level 1 students were grateful that they were able to focus on their studies fully in 2021 without the worldwide disruptions prevalent in 2020. Teachers were able to plug the possible gaps in student knowledge to enable the cohort to stride forwards to enjoy and shine in their mathematics. The various teachers approached the teaching and learning of the content in a myriad of ways which helps and encourages the students to see their way through the problems before them.

One major adjustment in our approach to assessment was to allow our students to produce two of their statistical NCEA internal Achievement Standards digitally. This allowed the students to demonstrate their deeper understanding and knowledge of the content in a more accurate and analytical way. The results were, therefore, a better reflection of the talents of our students. As always, the teachers will be hoping that their students will have been able to display their true abilities in the NCEA November external examinations. With success on the challenges of the Level 1 content, we can welcome our students on the pathways to higher levels of success in their mathematics. These differing pathways are carefully selected for each individual student depending where their strengths lie. In an Olympic year, we are sure that many students will have achieved gold and many others will have attained “personal best” scores!

Level 2 Mathematics

This year the Mathematics and Statistics Department introduced a new course at Level 2: 12MAT. This course was designed to allow students who were unlikely to succeed in our mainstream Statistics or Calculus courses

to continue with Mathematics, by successfully completing a mixture of Level 2 standards. These students have had a positive year and many of them are planning to continue their Mathematics journey into Year 13 and beyond. Our Mathematics Applied students have also had a successful year, earning Level 2 unit standards in topics such as construction and finance.

Level 2 Statistics

Our Level 2 Statistics students have enjoyed a year filled with data collection and analysis. The course allows students to earn NCEA credits while exploring new statistical knowledge and skills which will provide them opportunities in their future studies and careers. We are excited that, next year, students will be able to take courses in both statistics and calculus at Level 2.

Level 2 Calculus

Our Calculus students at Year 12 have had a successful year focusing on their skills in algebra, computation, and problem-solving. The 12MCA and 12MTX courses provide the opportunity to earn NCEA credits, and the 12MTX course also builds a strong foundation of knowledge in preparation for the scholarship course at Year 13. We are happy that from next year, students will be able to broaden their knowledge further by taking one of these calculus courses in conjunction with a Level 2 statistics course.

31 CURRICULUM

Level 3 Mathematics

Students taking this course were lucky enough to study both mathematical and statistical concepts during the year. While studying the maths standards, students learnt how to solve problems that required finding optimal solutions. During the statistics standards, they learnt how to construct a report that required them to further develop their literacy skills. Students that had the most success in this course had high attendance and displayed good time management skills.

Level 3 Statistics

Approximately half of all Year 13 students choose to study this very valuable course where they learned to select and analyse statistical data to make informed recommendations which they presented in written reports. They also designed and ran randomised statistical experiments to test causal hypotheses. For example, one group of students, inspired by the Economics Day, tested Year 9 and Year 13 students to discover whether an increase in the quality of packaging causes students to think that the product enclosed is of better quality; their results were conclusive for the experimental group tested and gave us all something to think about.

Students ended the year by learning a rigorous approach to critiquing media reports to help them to make informed choices in life.

Students who gained entry into a Scholarship Statistics class further developed their logical thinking skills. Many attended the regular afterschool sessions which helped them to fully prepare for the rigour of the Scholarship examination.

Level 3 Calculus

Many of the students that take this course enter a career in engineering; others simply chose it for the intellectual stimulation it provides. Students begin to build more complicated models of the real world that can be used to make informed decisions. This includes situations that require optimal values, like analysing maximum and minimum profit. The trigonometry standard requires them to build mathematical models that can be combined to find and compare all possible solutions in a given real-life situation. These students also delve into the mysteries of the imaginary world too and see how this can help them solve real problems.

Students selected for the Scholarship Calculus course were often pushed outside their comfort zones. Those that attended the optional lunchtime sessions had the opportunity to work with other students to solve more challenging problems in a group.

Performing Arts

Defining a Knowledge-Rich Curriculum for Performing Arts

In 2020, the school made the decision to adopt and implement a Knowledge-Rich Curriculum strategy in order to best serve the learning needs of our students. In short, this means that subjects are placing extra emphasis on the ‘knowledge’ taught in their curriculum areas, rather than just focusing on teaching students how to best answer NCEA exam questions. Therefore, a concept-based curriculum design model (CDC) is being used to assure that knowledge, not just credits, are at the centre of the learning for students.

This shift constituted quite a challenge for Performing Arts subjects, because our students are not only tested on what they know, but also on their skills of performing, arranging, composing, devising, and choreography. Added to this is the problem of the sheer quantity of work to be re-designed, given that we currently teach upwards of 170 units in Year 9 alone! Some tough questions soon emerged:

How do you add knowledge to primarily skill-based assessments?

How do you manage the workload for staff while introducing fundamental changes?

How do you improve your outcomes through the changes made, rather than changing for the sake of change?

It soon became clear that there had to be careful consideration as to how to go about this task. Instead of throwing out the old and replacing with the new, an assessment had to be undertaken first to measure how knowledgerich our current curriculum already was, and identify points where the enrichment through concept-based curriculum design principles could offer an improved outcome to what we currently have. Consequently, a gradual infusion strategy needed to be devised, rather than a complete and total change.

One area that was identified as could be improved by applying more

knowledge was performance practice. Even though most of our students are spending significant amounts of time practising, the efficiency of that practice—and therefore the outcome—could be improved by digging deeper into the science about how to make practice work better for you. Learning about the metacognition of practice was added from Year 9 through to Year 13 in order to evaluate the outcomes of practice, not only through students’ performance marks. Knowledge-rich concepts like deliberate practicing techniques, neurological development, and motivational psychology were placed at the centre of this learning, paving the way for students to move “from practise to practice”.

The most visual aspect of this new teaching unit was the emergence of practice logs which students now have to fill in each week and submit by Sunday evening.

The first results of the new unit were nothing short of astounding. Students clearly communicated the successes and challenges they faced during practising, and teachers and tutors could target their support quickly to very specific questions. The data provided by students through the practice logs is so rich that it has significant meaning for teachers far beyond the narrow scope of improving performance skills, as it provides a holistic view about student learning in music in general. Students demonstrate their musical knowledge in ways that are far deeper than if measured through a written exam paper.

We are still at the beginning of this knowledge-rich infusion, but so far, the results overall are exciting! I would like to invite you, if you have children in the Music curriculum, to talk to them about their logs and maybe even read some of their entries—I promise you that you will be impressed!

t has been an exciting year for the Drama Department. After a slow year Covid-19 year in 2020, we hit the ground running in 2021. This year, with the introduction of a Knowledge Rich Curriculum, we have scaffolded the year groups into different areas of focus. At Year 9, the focus has been the Principles of Drama and performance; at Year 10, the Fundamentals of Drama and performance; at Year 11, we looked closely at Comedy with a focus on Commedia Dell’Arte; at Year 12, we looked at Tragedy with a focus on Brecht and Epic Theatre; and at Year 13, we looked at New Zealand theatre with a focus on the works of Stanislaski and Realism vs

We started the year with two amazing production evenings; one for our Year 11 cohort who brought tears of laughter to our faces with the very play, and one for our Year 12 cohort who took us deep into the dark world of 1984. Both evenings were a great success and allowed our students to showcase their hard work and dedication to the subject. These evenings really set the standard for the year. Internally we also had great success with our Year 9 production of Romeo and Juliet and our Year 10 production of Macbeth. Not to be out done, our Year 13 cohort Peninsular by Gary Henderson. At the beginning of the process, they got to meet the playwright in person and had a workshop with him about his process writing the play. This offered the Year 13s a deeper understanding of the text and helped

them to create intriguing and well-crafted characters and they performed multiple roles with smooth transitions.

Moving into Term 2, our students took on the challenges of devising. Our Year 11s worked hard on bringing to life the poem Gentle Alice Brown by William Schwenck Gilbert. The Year 12 cohort used their knowledge of Brechtian theatre features and took on social injustices within New Zealand. To help the 12s with their understanding of Brechtian theatre, we were able to take them to see The Life of Galileo by Bertolt Brecht at the ASB Waterfront Theatre. This was a fascinating play, which used many features of Brechtian theatre. Meanwhile our Year 13 cohort delved into history and introduced us to some frightening, but captivating, ‘Historical Figures’. Our juniors offered some comic relief with their improvisation unit.

34 Panorama 2021 Rangitoto College Yearbook

Term 3 saw our students pick up the pace again; this time our Year 11’s moved into Commedia Dell’Arte. Commedia Dell’Arte is an ancient comic theatre form which requires students to build strong physicalisation skills, as well as encouraging them to think on their feet and improvise. Our Year 12s took on Brecht’s most famous play, Mother Courage and her Children, and delved into the depths of political theatre. Meanwhile, our Year 13s were creating scenes from various contemporary plays, including Death of a Salesman, A StreetCar Named Desire and several Bruce Mason plays. The students were tasked with using an array of techniques to bring these characters to life.

Our new cohort of Year 9s picked up their chainsaws, pitchforks, and other assorted weapons in their production of 10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse, while our Year 10s devised physical theatre based on Shaun

Tan’s The Arrival. In Term 4, we did our final revision for the external exams for the seniors, and we wished them good luck and best wishes moving into next year and their future endeavours.

Our juniors continued the good work, with the Year 10’s creating some entertaining and educational Greek Theatre and our Year 9s devising their own wonderful pieces.

Overall, despite the setbacks of Covid-19, our Drama & PFA students have had an incredible year and have gone from strength to strength. Once again, a huge thank you goes to the drama staff: Sara Hunt, Sophie Catterall, and Renee Richards, and their commitment to their students and the overall vision of the department. I couldn’t do it without you. I look forward to welcoming back students to 2022 and I look forward to what we shall go on to create together!

Science

Biology

This year the Biology team welcomed Miss Chong and Mr Graham. It has been fabulous to have a fresh injection of new ideas and enthusiasm in the Biology department.

Biology Scholarship

The Biology team had another very successful year in the NZQA scholarship exams. In February, we received notification that 26 of our students had gained a Biology scholarship, placing them in the top three percent of New Zealand. Six of these students also gained their scholarship at outstanding level.

We would like to congratulate the following students: Kyongeun Cha, Jamie Lee, Sua Cho, Max Ji, Jasmine Zhang, Ashley Huddart, Julia Ortanez, and Cameron Senior who gained scholarship as a Year 11 or 12 student—a brilliant feat.

Biology Olympiad

The Biology Olympiad is an international competition in which Year 13 Biology students from around the world compete against each other.

The qualifying process involves thousands of students from around New Zealand being whittled down into a national team of five. This year, Cameron Senior made it through the qualifying rounds to be selected to the national team.

He was then awarded a Bronze medal at the International Biology Olympiad.

Cameron did exceptionally well, and we are very proud of him.

The Biology Olympiad was an incredibly valuable experience where I not only deepened my knowledge of biology, but also met several likeminded people. My experience began with a training camp where I learnt practical skills: dissections, running PCR tests, analysing species diversity, etc. From the camp, I was selected alongside three others to compete at the international competition, representing New Zealand, in two exams on a wide range of practical and theoretical knowledge. I was pleased to win a bronze medal, placing somewhere between 60th and 160th in the world. I encourage anybody with a passion for biology who wants to go beyond what’s taught in the classroom to take part—it’s fun, challenging, and you’ll learn lots along the way!

11 Science Extension Biology

Students enrolled in this course have enjoyed a plethora of new content from cellular processes to mammals and flowering plants. The highlight of the year was a trip to Auckland Zoo where students received an excellent presentation from the zookeepers and got to experience first-hand the amazing efforts Auckland Zoo puts into conservation around New Zealand.

12 Biology

The 12 Biology students have enjoyed a jam-packed course, with the highlight being the rocky shore trip to Wenderholm. Students enjoyed getting out of the classroom the having the opportunity to practise their skills in the outdoors.

13 Biology

Year 13 Biology students welcomed the experience of going to Auckland Zoo and our scholarship students also got the unique opportunity to visit Tiritiri Matangi Island. The trip to the island was a great occasion to witness New Zealand’s biodiversity and the Department of Conservation efforts to protect several of our most endangered species.

Chemistry

2021 has been another positive year in chemistry. In April Minghan (Mason) Liu was chosen as a member of the New Zealand team to compete in the annual International Chemistry Olympiad competition. This was to take place in Japan in July. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, the competition had to be held virtually rather than in person. Minghan had great success in this competition receiving a bronze award, placing him in the top 150 students in the world for his age group and was also the highest placed member of the New Zealand team. A massive congratulations to Minghan, you have done us all proud.

In other news, for the first time, our Year 11 extension students completed the Level 2 titrations internal, achieving exceptional results, continuing to refine our extension program. Despite all the lockdowns and disruptions 2021 has brought us, our students have risen to all the challenges, completing all the practical requirements of the different chemistry course and continue to display exceptional resilience.

Physics

Rangitoto College Physics students have had a productive year in 2021, with some outstanding academic results coming through, a wide range of extracurricular competitions and activities taking place, and a busy schedule of learning. Student achievement in internal assessments to date looks promising, and while our revision programme is being disrupted by the current Covid-19 lockdowns, students have completed most of their classroom learning.

In February, we received the news that sixteen of our students achieved the prestigeous Physics Scholarship in 2020. This included one Outstanding Scholarship, a Rangitoto College first, achieved by Year 12 International Baccalaureate student, Ethan Lu. The scholarship results achieved by the 2020 cohort were the best ever by any cohort at Rangitoto College.

Sorato Tokuo, Lucas Hebberd, and Matthew Prance made up the Rangitoto College 2021 Young Physicists’ Tournament (NZYPT) team. Having spent six months researching and experimenting, they presented their solutions to the problems at the NZYPT regional competition at Ormiston College in March this year. While they did not place in the tournament this year, it was a great learning experience and they resolved to return stronger in 2022.

In May, University of Auckland outreach group, Women in Engineering, came to the college to share their enthusiasm for engineering with our female physics and mathematics students. In addition to advice on what to expect and how best to prepare for a degree in engineering, they provided some challenging practical problems for our students to solve. Our students came out inspired and excited by the prospect of a degree in engineering.

Toward the end of Term 2, close to 250 Rangitoto College Physics and Calculus students participated in the annual Rainbow’s End Physics trip. Students experienced rotational dynamics on the Invader, vertical circular motion on the rollercoaster loop, simple harmonic motion on the Stratosfear and much more. The work completed during the trip reinforced students understanding of key concepts in the Level 3 Mechanical Systems achievement standard. It was a great day out!

In July, 35 Rangitoto College students participated in the New Zealand Physics and Maths competition. Several students achieved outstanding results in this test-based competition: Jonathan Siah achieved an impressive 3rd place in Year 11, Raymond Huang received distinction in Year 11, and Tina Niu and Franck Chen achieved top 10 results in Year 10 and Year 12 respectively. It is great to see students embracing opportunities to challenge themselves in physics.

The annual New Zealand Engineering Science Competition, run by the University of Auckland’s Faculty of Engineering, took place in August. Ten teams of Rangitoto College students gathered on a Saturday morning and were issued the question, “How many 1 in 100 year extreme weather events can New Zealand expect to experience over the course of the next decade?” They spent the following eight hours researching, discussing, and developing a solution to the question, with all teams submitting their papers before the deadline. Results will be published later this year.

A group of about 40 students have been training regularly to compete against other schools in the Epro8 science and engineering competition. Unfortunately, the competition was scheduled to take place in August and was disrupted by the Covid-19 lockdown. Hopefully, they will have a chance to compete against other schools later this year!

The Physics teachers have been impressed by the engagement and enthusiasm of the Rangitoto College Physics students. We look forward to hearing of their continued success in their exams and in the coming years.

37 CURRICULUM

Junior Science

Despite the early challenges of some online learning in 2021, the Junior Science Curriculum has been well received by our students. Highlights include the ever popular eye dissection in Year 9, the heart dissection in Year 10, along with any practical involving Bunsen burners!

Junior Science has a clear focus on investigative skills through the year, in addition to students developing their knowledge of biology, chemistry, and physics. We explore the microscopic world, chemical reactions, energy, and how they all come together to build the world around us.

“Science is very interesting and fascinating, the fact that all these things exist and make up reality. It’s just a pleasure to learn about all of this as we humans have come so far to understand the universe to this point.”

Eugene Kang, Year 9

“I enjoy doing fun practicals in Year 9 Science, even though I missed out dissecting the cow’s eye. Science from Year 8 to Year 9 is a huge jump— most of the words you might never even heard of them before. Science in Year 9 is fun and you also learn a lot of new things.”

Catherine Liu, Year 9

“I particularly enjoyed learning about the human body topic this year—it was quite interesting exploring the different systems of our body (such as the skeletal/nervous/etc.) and how they work together to keep us alive. Me and my group even dissected a heart (a pig’s one!) Science has become one of my favourite subjects now, partly because of the content that we learn, but I think it is mainly because my teachers have taught me and guided me through the Junior Science course wonderfully. I really appreciate that, thank you!”

Chon, Year 10

“I’ve enjoyed the mixing topic for Science and also when we dissected a cow’s eye. You learn lots of new stuff in Science and it’s really fun and enjoyable.”

Min-Jun Choi, Year 9

“Science at Rangitoto College is very fun and very interesting. We do different subjects every term and we do fun experiments about the topics mostly every lesson.”

Olivia Xie, Year 9

“During this year’s Junior Science course, I have really enjoyed the practical experiments. During the electricity unit, we were able to play around with circuits and for our investigation, we got to conduct our own experiment. In the atomic structures unit, we were able to conduct experiments to learn the difference between chemical and physical changes. For the human body unit, we had the chance to dissect a sheep or a pig heart to allow us to fully understand the chambers of the heart and how it works. In the next unit, which was acids and bases, practical lessons happened at least once a week. We got to use different types of pH indicators and use different concentrations of acid to see how fast they dissolved different metals. The large number of practical lessons in the Junior Science course has made this year in science enjoyable.”

Social Science

Despite the challenges of Covid-19, the Social Science Department achieved their best ever results in the NZQA Scholarship Exams earning a combined 40 Scholarships across History, Geography, Art History, and Classical Studies. Highlights of these results were the achievements of 2020 Dux, Friedrieke Voit, who topped the country in Art History for the second year running, and the exceptional results of Year 12 student, Cameron Senior, who achieved Scholarship in Art History and an Outstanding Scholarship in History. Congratulations must go to all students who gained Scholarship and their hardworking and dedicated teachers.

Regardless of the odd lockdown here and there, 2021 has been an extremely successful year for the Social Science Department. Along with scholarship, the department has been able to extend all students inside and outside the classroom and truly embody the college’s mission statement of great opportunities, great students.

Junior Social Science

Our Year 9 cohort has had a fantastic first year at Rangitoto College in the Junior Social Science subject. The Year 9 Junior Social Science course introduced students to a wide range of topics to develop an understanding of the culturally diverse and interdependent world we live in.

Students started the year by learning about how and why people move around the globe, followed by learning about several environmental challenges our world faces, with a specific focus on three significant natural resources: water, oil, and native wildlife. Students then moved on to looking at the development in Asia and enjoyed learning about the K-pop and Bollywood industries and how these innovations have impacted their respective economies. Lastly, students ended the year by looking at systems of government, including a focus on women and Māori rights to vote, and North Korea.

Art History

2021 was an exciting year for Art History. In Year 12, students began the year looking at the turbulent history of France in the 18th century and the beginnings of art as propaganda during the 1789 French Revolution. This was a real highlight for students who loved engaging in History, as it introduced them to the different functions and importance of art in reflecting its own time. A student commented that they “really enjoyed studying how art responds to its time” and that they “felt a strong connection with the context because I can see the influences of the time period on a physical canvas.” By the time they had examined the changes of 19th century France and the modernisation of Paris in the mid-19th century, students had learnt to connect more closely to cities and societies that they had never approached before and this was a real highlight for many of them.

In Year 13, the students learned all about High Renaissance and Mannerist art in Italy. Beginning the year looking at Florence and moving onto Rome and Venice, the Year 13 course allowed students to gain an in-depth understanding of differences between regions and histories of this time in Italy and wider Europe. The Renaissance course exposed students to art and societies both big and small; from learning about the personal family lives of patrons and the “scandalous secrets of the bourgeois” in Italy, to studying the grand projects like the Sistine Chapel ceiling that continue to awe audiences today. For many students, this was a great opportunity to look at the Italian Masters and find out how they became great trail blazers in the world of Art History,

At both year levels students had a chance to go on a trip to the Auckland Art Gallery. A highlight at the beginning of the year was experiencing the ‘Toi Tū Toi Ora: Contemporary Māori Art’ exhibition which was the largest exhibition in the 132-year history of Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki. Year 13 students followed this in June with a trip to see the ‘All That is Solid is Melts’ exhibition which combined contemporary and historical collections across Aotearoa and worldwide.

The art history world has seen many changes in the last decade and in particular the last couple of years. This was reflected in Scholarship Art History which was another highlight for many students who wanted to examine Art History from a wider perspective outside of class. For many students, scholarship offered a unique insight into the history, societies, and art they had never been exposed to and allowed them to consider significant themes through the history of art such as conflict, debate, controversy, and beauty. The Scholarship Art History programme remains a real strength for Art History students and continues to grow every year.

Classical Studies

The

influence of the ancient Greeks and Romans filters its way into our everyday life. From our democratic system of government, our judicial processes, our language, and our art and architecture, a sliver of the Greeks and Romans always remains. The classical world has inspired generations throughout history; from Renaissance master Michelangelo to French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte; from Elizabethan dramatist to the creator of Harry’s Magical World, J.K. Rowling.

Classical Studies offers students a window into the lives of the Greeks and Romans, with a focus on the literature, religion, philosophy, history, art history, political studies, and language of these two civilisations. This requires students to adapt their skills in interpretating sources of evidence and pieces of art, analysing the validity of primary and secondary source evidence and crafting argumentative essays.

In Year 12, students start the year looking at a range of significant historical events like the Persian Wars of the 5th Century BCE through to the destruction of cities like Pompeii and Herculaneum by Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE. The focus then shifts to Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey where students learn about the relationship between Odysseus’ Homeric characteristics and those of modern heroes, like Aragorn, Black Panther and Harry Potter. After this, students examine the intricacies of the art and architecture of Ancient Rome and the role they played in creating an Empire.

In Year 13, students start the year studying Aristophanes, the Father of Comedy. The introduction into Level 3 Classical Studies begins with an elderly man attempting to escape his house attached to the underside of a donkey, which sets the tone for a year of strange yet brilliant classical stories. We then shift our focus to Rome, studying the reign of Rome’s first emperor Augustus, examining the significant role he played in shaping the socio-political life of Imperial Rome. Students will end the year with extensive knowledge of how the Roman Empire, as we know it today, was formed as the result of a series of careful manoeuvres by the Master of Propaganda—Augustus.

Geography

Geography

at Rangitoto College for 2021 has been an intense year filled with field trips, assessments, and learning all about the people and the environments that they live in.

In Year 11, students started the year learning about the contemporary geographic issue of E-Scooters. E-scooters are a geographic issue as they were originally brought in to allow people greater access around metropolitan areas but now have become an environmental and social hazard with high costs associated with injuries and dumping of them in waterways. Following on from E-scooters, students travelled out to Piha to complete geographic research on the Piha Stream. Students were tracking if the width of Piha Stream increased or decreased the closer to the river mouth students travelled. Students really enjoyed this trip and being out in the field gathering data, “I felt like a real geographer!” said one student. Students then completed an internal assessment looking at the global pattern of earthquakes. This was particularly interesting because New Zealand sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire and students were able to use both national and international examples (including Haiti which, sadly, has just been struck by another powerful quake) in their work. Building on the earthquake topic was the final internal assessment that looked at a new volcano appearing in Auckland. This new volcano would bring natural effects to Auckland that would then bring economic and social impacts. Students completed this internal by using Google Earth Pro, to give students a taste of using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to solve geographic problems and how to present data using this tool also. Finally, students focused on the Indian Ocean Tsunami for their final external exam. This extreme natural event even though it happened in 2004 is still studied today as it resulted in the way that tsunamis are tracked changing forever and the sheer scale of the event changed people’s lives globally forever. Overall, Level 1 has given students a solid understanding of the world around them on a local, national, and global scale as well as preparing them for Level 2.

Year 12 students started the year focusing on geographic research. Students travelled down to Tongariro National Park for three days to complete the crossing while gathering data. This allowed students to select their own aim to gather data that interested them, with the theme of alpine zonation. Tazanna Dell said, “I am very proud to say that this subject made me climb a mountain.” This trip challenges students physically and mentally but the sense of accomplishment both academically and physically means the trip continues every year. Students then studied freedom camping, which was dynamic this year due to the borders being closed and freedom camping having a more domestic focus. Students then moved to a global focus and looked at the global pattern of coffee production and the impacts on people of this industry that is second only to oil in the world commodity trade. Students were challenged to think about where and what coffee they buy and to become ethical consumers. We then went local and looked at the temporal pattern of Auckland’s population growth. This internal had both historical and contemporary data and allowed students to understand why Auckland is structured the way it is. Finally, students are using their

History

Martin Luther King Jr. is quoted as saying,“We are not makers of history. We are made by history”. This year, students have studied a range of subjects that have shaped the world we live in. A particularly relevant topic has been the 2021 scholarship topic which was ‘colonialism’ with a focus on New Zealand in the year 1900. Through this lens, students have been able to study a range of empires and the legacy they have left behind through colonisation.

The Year 11 History classes were fortunate to visit the Auckland War Memorial Museum to conduct research on a topic related to the Great War. Topics included the role of women, Māori, and a range of battles that New Zealand participated in. The Year 11 History classes have enjoyed learning about relevant issues from the 20th century. Investigations into the perspectives of the Black Civil Rights movement in America saw students delve into rich and raw social histories of the not too distant past.

knowledge of natural processes to examine the Amazon drainage basin for the external exam. This standard uses knowledge from Level 1 and the start of Level 2. A final quote to summarize Year 12: “This subject has not only fuelled my curiosity for our world but given me amazing experiences and helped me reach my potential as a proud Geography student”.

Year 13, the third and final year of the Geography programme. Students started the year with an American focus, looking at gun control in America and potential courses of action for the future. Students then had a global focus on looking at maritime piracy as a global pattern and the impacts on people socially and economically because of this problem. This is a very interesting topic and complex in nature due to the cause of the problem and the underlying poverty that was exposed. Students then travelled down to Rotorua for the long-awaited three day trip to study the cultural processes of tourism development. This trip allowed students to immerse themselves in the environment to understand how the process operates and to also look at the impacts. This year, the trip was very interesting as Covid-19 had changed the cultural process to a large extent and resulted in students visiting different attractions than the trip normally does. Finally, students studied what is considered a rite of passage for young people, the Rhythm and Vines Festival. Students use this assessment to study and evaluate the planning and success of the event through a geographic lens. Students complete the year with the focus on the case study of Rotorua and the cultural process of tourism development. Geography prides itself on preparing our students for university, and we wish all our students’ great success in the future.

Geography scholarship and extension courses for 2021 have focused on inequalities within and between countries. Students have been attending Tuesday morning sessions to learn content with Miss O’Brien and the Geography Department. Mrs Reddy has been running lunchtime sessions on how to approach the exam. Students in 11 and 12 extension classes and 13 scholarship classes have had the knowledge and content integrated into their courses. Students complete nightly readings and then gather evidence to ultimately establish their knowledge base so that scholarship skills and knowledge becomes second nature to the students.

One student, Kaia Buckley, has summarised the course in the following words, “Extension Geography offers you many advantages which will hugely benefit your learning. Being in Extension Geography you are able to have a wider knowledge as you learn from the ones that you are surrounded by through sharing ideas. As well as having a wider knowledge on the topic, the environment of the classroom is so much better than what you would usually have this is because everyone is in the same boat and eager to learn more giving a quiet hard working mind-set type of classroom.”

The rise of Hitler, and the consequences of this, proved just as interesting in challenging students’ perceptions of the past.

The Year 12 classes have had a focus on colonisation and its consequences this year. The Vietnam War was the focus for Term 1, with students studying the impact of French and Japanese occupation of Vietnam and the subsequent civil war that followed. We were very lucky to have our Vietnam War veteran, Brian, visit us again and entertain us with his stories and experiences during this conflict. On top of this topic, classes have studied either colonisation in Australia or the Rwandan Genocide. A highlight of the year was the trip to the Bay of Islands. Students used this as an opportunity to gather evidence on the early colonisation of New Zealand by visiting sites such as Ruapekapeka, the Stone House, the Waitangi Treaty grounds, and much more.

Social Science Internal

2021 has been a great year for Social Science Internal. Students have formed some great friendships and had a lot of positive moments. Beginning the year by exploring an Aotearoa based social issue, students examined topics such as poverty, homelessness, and gangs. Term 1 also saw us go into learning from home, which tested our self-management skills. Term 2 allowed us to enhance our ability to gather information from documents and understand the importance of using internet in the workplace. We also took a closer look at the Cambodia house building trip that has been carried out by the College in previous years. The second half of the year gave students the opportunity to experience Level 1 Geography as a subject and carry out some field research as well as work together as a team to plan an event for staff. Together, students have learnt teamwork, planning, and communication skills.

Tourism

Tourism

Year 12 Tourism students learn about how the tourism industry works, from the history of travel and travel businesses, to world and New Zealand destinations. The Industry Day field trip for Level 2 to the New Zealand School of Tourism Airport Campus and Rocket Ropes teaches students about work roles within tourism and fosters teamwork. These are all important components of the Level 2 Tourism course and will set them up well for Level 3.

Sociology

Sociology gives students an opportunity to investigate the world around them and empowers them to make a positive impact on it. At Level 2, the sociologists studied human rights actions as well as global conflicts and those happening in Aotearoa. Subjects explored included socialization, the 40 Hour Famine, New Zealand’s 2020 referendum, and the discrimination faced by the Uyghurs. The cohort also worked collaboratively in their classes to support an array of charities, including Shine, Foster Hope, and Auckland City Mission. At Level 3, the course covers criminology, the Israel Palestine conflict, and inspiring youth-led social action. Year 13 Sociology students also had the exciting opportunity to complete policy-focused social actions which included writing letters to Members of Parliament, educating their peers, and taking part in our annual social action expo.

Year 13 students started the year off with a world history unit, focusing on the expansion of empires and the impact these have had on the world we live in today. All the topics were well received, and it was fantastic to see our wellrounded Year 13s taking lessons from such diverse topics in our history. The invasion of the Waikato was once again covered this year, with students building on the information they had learnt around empires and analysing the impact the British Empire had on New Zealand. Students were able to go on an overnight field trip to the Waikato to visit places of significance to the land wars.

International Baccalaureate (IB) History has had a great year studying a range of interesting historical topics. They had a bit of fun along the way through interactive learning games and historical event themed escape rooms. The Extended Essay topics included British colonisation of Australia, the impact of

Tourism in Year 13 focuses on destinations, such as Australia, the Pacific Islands, and specific regions within New Zealand. The last unit of the year teaches students about the economic impact tourism has on people and places, where they are encouraged to draw from their learning from the year. Level 3 Tourism is also a place where students put the skills they learned from Level 2 into practice. Over the course of the year, students must give presentations about New Zealand regions, as well as complete a group presentation project based on Australia. The Year 13 field trip to the Sir Peter Blake Marine Education and Recreation Centre was designed to build on their teamwork skills, which will aid them in future group projects, as well as explore the physical impacts tourism may have on New Zealand.

Tourism regularly offers opportunities for students to learn about what tourism has to offer after high school. This year we have had a visit from the prestigious Queenstown Resort College and a very informative session with Go With Tourism. Go With Tourism is a government-funded initiative and is launching a programme designed to educate our youth about the wide range of career pathways available in the tourism industry. Our Year 13 students had a visit from Auckland Skydive as well. This is not only a skydiving business for thrill seeking tourists, it is also an NZQA accredited sky diving school—the only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere. They discuss what a course at Auckland Skydive entails, from the jumps to student life. These visits are invaluable to many students who are not sure what their next step is after high school; it is a great way for them to see the variety of opportunities available to them.

US annexation on native Hawaiians, and others. This year the IB History students have studied a wide range of topics including Chinese history, Japanese expansion, Italian expansion, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and the move to Global War.

at Rangitoto College ensures that students are well prepared for a future in one of New Zealand’s largest industries. Despite the current climate of the tourism Industry, students are still in demand at tertiary training institutes and New Zealand tourism business across the country.

Technology

Our students have produced a wide range of outcomes in Electronics, Material, Textiles, Food Technology, Construction, Engineering and Hospitality. Technology covers knowledge from all the subject areas that come together to be applied in a way that is practical and experimental. Students are guided to gain a broad understanding of how and why things work, and how technological products and systems are developed. They have all enjoyed developing skills, knowledge and achieving personal goals.

Food Technology

In Food Technology, students gain understanding of food choices and food processing. They learn how to apply the design process in the development of a technological solution to meet a given brief. Some highlights include vegan protein bars, gluten free meal plans, iron rich snacks, hospital meals, homemade pastas, and fusion meals from around the world. Additionally, junior courses are our building blocks and focus more on personal hygiene practices, kitchen safety, health, and nutrition, whilst embedding originality and creativity through projects of pizzas, international burgers, sustainability and more. Food Technology students along with Hospitality students have also successfully catered for the concerts that were held by the Music Department earlier this year.

Hospitality

Wanting to become a chef? Today the hospitality industry is booming, and employers are looking for skilled staff to meet the demand. The Hospitality course is a vocational based subject for senior students, which gives young people an insight into the hospitality industry. Students experience what it feels like to work within a commercial kitchen, learning the vital cooking and barista skills to move into pathways in tertiary education, and work in cafes, restaurants, and hotels. Some delectable dishes include Cubano sandwiches, chocolate truffles, focaccia bread, and prawn laksa. It is stupendous to see the students enjoying the practical aspects of the course—preparing and serving professionally made foods and barista coffees.

Textiles

This year in the textile course, students have been developing the experimentation and practical skills in design and textile construction. Also embedding the knowledge about textile properties and performance characteristics, and aesthetic requirements. Some highlights were the amazing Bauhaus inspired hoodies produced by the Year 9s, the mashup of designers and eras to produce outstanding costumes, the creativity poured out into the Art Competition entries, and placing third in the Wearable Arts section of Showquest.

Materials Technology

Materials

Technology promotes creative thinking, problem solving, testing, and trialling of ideas with students ultimately creating a portfolio. Year 9 produced a small gift idea for a target market with some excellent products being created at the end of their practice. The Year 10 course is designed to build on their knowledge of material properties and production methods. Year 11 students have been researching mechanisms and coming up with ideas to design and create a mechanical toy that goes beyond one simple movement. Year 12 and 13 students are provided with an open context which allows them to choose an area of interest. Again, there were many interesting topics being covered, from producing a product from recycled bag clips to producing a journal from waste food to promote the wellbeing of homeless children. Students have also been engaging with the community with visits to companies such as Eco Stock Suppliers, and Zealandia. Also, students have been in contact with companies such as Reclaim, the SPCA, and Monstrum Playgrounds, a Danish company.

Electronics

Electronics is a subject area where conceptual products are designed with electronics in mind. It develops knowledge and skills in theory of electricity, components, and micro controllers, and students learn how to programme them as a system. In our junior programme students have been designing, making, and programming their own cyberpets. In Year 11 electronics for 2021, students have been designing from a range of design briefs which include designing interactive donation boxes, electronic pop-up cards, and oracle decision maker toys. Our senior students chose their own contexts. We have had a diverse range of projects such as a student who has designed a horse-riding fall detection system, while another student has designed a fully sustainable green power bank charger.

Construction and Engineering

The construction sector is a major part of the total civil engineering and building industry. Construction projects involve using machines and materials that need organisation and control. This year our engineering students were able to gain experience using a variety of industrial machine tools, and fabrication techniques to manufacture components for their projects before having to continue more theoretical aspects to engineering whilst learning from home. Due to the restrictions and physical absences in class, learning from home has enabled a more in-depth learning approach to some of these theoretical aspects of the engineering course.

Visual Arts

The Visual Arts Department had another busy year in 2021, with many of our outstanding senior art students completing extremely high quality work exploring a range of themes and approaches, despite the challenges of multiple lockdowns. When school was being attended in person, the department was full most lunchtimes with our Arts loving students moving between the Photography, Design, Painting, and Printmaking rooms. It has also been exciting to see the work our junior students have completed this year, and the quality of work coming out of all year levels has again been outstanding. We wish to applaud the efforts made by all students in what has been another difficult year and below are just a very few examples to demonstrate the ongoing commitment of our students and staff.

Charlie Forrest – Senior Poetry Winner 2021 (We Are Whispers, We Are Stars)

You never existed, did you?

You may see these words as ink on a page, or pixels on a screen, hear your breath plume in rehearsed life. Or your blood rushing in your ears, feel it pulse in your fingers. Feel your skin against fabric, your weight pressing into where you rest.

These things may make you think you do exist, in the present, in the now. You may think they exist, too. The present. The now.

But do you? Do you really?

You didn’t before, you believe you do now, you won’t again. You won’t again.

If that is the case, did you really exist at all? If you—living, breathing you—is to dissipate into the earth to join the worms and the soil—much like the stars dissipated to form the blood in your veins and the cloth of your shirt—if that is an absolute certainty—do you exist now?

I’d like you to exist. I may not exist right now, but these words these words these words and their intent their meaning their intent right now in my now—my now as I write them now— still bring forth the same meaning and desire—even minutes, hours, months, years later. I still want you to exist.

I might not exist. You might not exist.

I’d like you to exist.

Your existence is a jarring unwarranted whisper in a break of time, a hushed secret between breaths once clear through a hazy voice now silenced and forgotten as a whisper is a hush a hush a hush—it is gone—a whisper is gone as goes another another another—they dissipate into silence we dissipate into the earth the grime the soil—as stars dissipate into the blood of our veins—we dissipate into the earth - silenced the whispers are silenced.

We are silenced we are forgotten we cease to exist in the memory of space.

Did we ever exist?

Humans are whispers and whispers are humanity; they are interchangeable, and neither exist. In the memory of time, we are forgotten lost never here.

Do you exist? You were never here.

Here here here is nowhere nowhere is here. Interchangeable. We’re only the echos of stars, as is everything we see hear and touch. Only the echo of a dying star. All stars are dying. All humans are dying.

Both are only whispers. All are interchangeable.

Stars, whispers, humanity.

So, what will you do, if you do not exist?

Keep whispering, I suppose, as a ghost does.

We are whispers, we are stars.

Jamie Lee – Senior Prose Winner Footprints in the Sand

There are footprints in the sand where I walk. The ones I make and the ones that are already made.

I used to walk in the footprints in the sand, over the top of footprints that weren’t my own. Mine were too small to replace them, and also too small to fill them. I hid in them, as children do, too scared to declare our independence and make our own mark in the world in fear of being stamped out. Jumping between the shoes of others, unstuck in time, was more fun anyway.

The ones that interest me the most are those that appear to just disappear. They tread around in confused circles before taking off. Up they go, higher and higher, carried off by the wind to the undiscovered country from where no traveler returns. All that is left of them on this Earth are their footprints in the sand. But each of them carry their own story and leave people like me to wonder where their next step could have taken them.

As I have grown older, I have come to realise that each step I take leaves my own unique mark on this beach: I can go anywhere, do anything. I can tread lightly and live a simple life, or do so wearing boots capable of stamping on human faces. All these footprints in the sand, but those footprints are my footprints. I can make my own path through this labyrinth for others to follow. I can be the hero of my own life.

But then again, what is it worth? Every now and again, a cacophony of storm clouds docks itself in the bay. A tempest. Some storms are heavier than others. The winds howl and screech, chasing even Ozymandias and Alexander away. The ocean drowns in itself. The waves come crashing in, surging, cleansing. And just like that, no questions asked, there are no more footprints in the sand. No more shoes to fill or stories to be told. They are washed away—gone, like trifles light as air.

Just like that, we are lost to the hands of time, the hands of the tides, too, if you will.

Our footprints in the sand are lost to hands much more imprinting than ours.

Tiana Schwarz – First Equal Junior Prose

Tantalus

Elusive and intangible as it may be, it is always there, within an arm’s reach. Taunting. But every time you reach out, it shies away from you, as if you’re diseased. Flawed. Poisoned. Or perhaps poisonous?

Regret is ever-present. But not remorse. Certainly not. Grief but not guilt. For was it you who committed all those wrongs? Did you chain your creator to a rock? Did you gift yourself with fire, flood your land and waters, send yourself disease in a gift box? Certainly not.

The son you sacrificed haunts you, but his death is a mere drop in Poseidon’s ocean to the massacres of the gods. They brought him back, as if it changed anything. That one life for the millions they took away. They antagonise you for the death of your son but you remain remorseless.

There’s a sour taste in your mouth, but taste isn’t something you’ve done in a long, long time. Your throat is parched but unable to swallow, your feet immovable in the cold, remorseless waters. A lot like you, in that regard.

They told you it was an honour, but in truth, it was a damnation. For you could not restrain the rage against those who humiliated you, wronged you. But you made your last stand one they could not forget, one that could not go unpunished.

Succumb to it all, they whisper. Succumb to the pain. But if you cannot swallow those fruits, nor will you your pride. You can survive on truth. It could take days, years, centuries, but you won’t give in to the gods’ mockery. Humanity is either bitter or blind, and you know which you would rather be. You set your jaw.

Musty air oppresses your lungs and the reek of death is intoxicating. Despite your best efforts, it is impossible to ignore the low-hanging branches dotted with succulent fruits luring you to yet another fruitless endeavour. Upon these fields are the eternal prisoners of the gods. A boulder rolls over Sisyphus, Tityus regenerates his liver, the Danaids pour water into a broken basin. The gods are fond of humanity’s fruitless endeavours.

A twig snaps above you. There he is. Nested like a bird in the branches, the boy takes a bite of the fruit, grinning. “Hello, Father,” your son says.

Tiana Schwarz – Junior Poetry Winner 2021 Lost In Another Word

Compose me a poem

Speak magic

And take me places Of verses and phrases

Paint me a picture

In a thousand words And in that time

Worlds have emerged

Lost in the forest

Somewhere far away

Twenty-six flowers for my bouquet

Blossoming in the trees

Flowering letters

Take your pick

Collect them in a basket

Letter by letter, weave them together

Succulent fruits

For delicious concoctions

Wait ‘til it’s ripe

Or sour runs rife

Words can be poison

Words can be sweet

It’s all your making

To create this feat

Bake words into a cake

As delightful as can be Craft it to perfection

Be lost in a reverie

Rewriting reality

Your heart keeps aching

For worlds of your making Can’t help falling for this fallacy

Make it rhyme

Rhythm and ring in time

Abundant alliterations

Metaphor iterations

Pretty whispers

And pretty flavours

Taste it on your tongue

An otherwordly forest

Of glories behold

Take some words on a page

And watch wonders unfold

Buchanan – First Equal Junior Prose

Growing up every little girl longs to be a princess. The gowns, immense wealth, timeless beauty. Except for the little girls in this world. For in this world, princesses have billowing gowns of silk and crystal jewels by day... but billowing wings and crystal scales by night.

She was a flaming ball of auburn fire amongst the dancing ferns, the epitome of beauty. Her startling green eyes stood out in contrast to her pearly white skin and her soft lips were bent in a luscious pink cupid’s bow. Her hair trailed behind her as she ran, a veil of fiery perfection as her childlike delight rang throughout the field. She was free to do whatever her heart desired.

For now.

If life was as spectacular as this girl looked then there would be no catch to this charming life. But if an eager observer watched her when the sun tucked itself into bed and allowed its silver friend to take the spotlight, they would quickly learn that there is more that lies beneath the surface.

Much, much more.

In every fairy tale, the princess is the successor. We all know that she gets everything and lives happily ever after. But, what if there was no princess, and therefore, no happy ever after?

She continues her glorious dance amongst the flowers almost as delicate as she, the feeble flower is oblivious to the sinking ball of fires descent that was darkening the sky around her. A shrill scream ruined the serenity of the darkened night. A gasp leaves her delicate lips. Her eyes of emerald green widen as the realization of night settles on her. The glowing ember of wings branch from the trembling woman, and her ears, now spiky point, as flames flicker like fireflies on the tips of her slender fingertips. Blackness conceals the ring of men who stalk their frightened prey.

One who is new to this world would say that this girl is still heart-achingly beautiful. But for the village that surrounds her, the village that watches her, she is a beast and all beasts must be slain.

The cloak of blackness is removed to reveal a stadium of humans eager to watch the slaying of this beast. The Winged Princess Hunting Arena is not for the faint-hearted.

Trembling bodies of Princesses are steadily stack up in piles and all who hunt the wings have their reasons. Some admire the scales, some the shimmer and some the colours. Whatever their reasons, the last thing every Princess sees is the brandished glimmer of weapons. Men leap for girls, determined to capture and kill one of these beastly beauties. The crowds scream with an eager desire for bloodshed.

Her ear twitches. Danger. A scream rips through the arena. Within seconds, she feels the metal slice through her milky white flesh and retracts itself with a sickening sound. The holder of the blade holds a sickening smirk as he looks up at the girl.

Faint-hearted.

No happy ever after here, dear readers. The beast has indeed been slain.

Blood Day

2021 was a very positive year for blood donation at Rangitoto College. Due to Covid-19, there were no donation days at Rangitoto College in 2020, so we were determined to make this year count! The Service and Community Committees were exceptional in driving the Blood Days. They visited every single senior tutor class and encouraged students to sign up using the blood service app, provided refreshments throughout the day for donors, and, most importantly, they organised excellent presentations at senior assemblies which included a star performance by Maddie Smith in the enormous blood dude suit.

On the 9th and 10th of June, we had teachers and students from Years 11 to 13 come to the Auditorium to donate to the New Zealand Blood Service. 2021 beat all other years’ records and we collected over 200 units of blood which converts to over 94 litres. This could save up to 600 lives. Thank you to every student and staff member who donated blood; your donations save lives!

Golf Day

Our biggest fundraising event is our annual Golf Day which, this year, was held on Friday May 7th at Pupuke Golf Club. It brought together 29 teams (116 players) for an action-packed day of fun, laughter, and of course, competition. The day was an amazing success with $22,000 raised, thanks to the support of our amazing golfers and extremely generous sponsors. These funds will go towards much needed sports equipment for our college and our student hardship fund.

Korean Night

Korean Night is an annual event which allows students to celebrate and share Korean culture with our multicultural community. This year’s Korean Night, held on Friday June25th, was hugely popular and a massive success. Once the curtains opened and the night began, the amount of hard work and dedication put in by every performer could be clearly seen in the vibrant recitals and immense audience appreciation.

Students from all year groups have put in a tremendous amount of effort to ensure that this year’s Korean Night was the best it could be. Performances included the doll dance, the traditional mask dance, the elegant fan dance, masterful Taekwondo, various K-pop and rap routines, the rhythmic Nanta, a powerful haka, and the finale band. Every performer should be proud of how well they performed.

Congratulations to everyone who was involved in Korean Night 2021. A huge thank you to all the people involved behind the scenes; this event would not have been as successful without the help of people off stage. We look forward to preparing another memorable event for Korean Night 2022.

Māori and Pasifika Hui

Whanaungatanga is essential for us, so we have several events that bring our Rangitoto Māori & Pasifika whānau together. Our first hui welcomed our Year 9s, while 2021 Deputy Head Students, Reuben James and Maddie Smith, and Student Leader, Mikaela Keer-Keer, inspired us with what motivates them to strive for success and leadership as Māori students. The next highlight was practising the Rangitoto haka, before a fun, loud, and proud “haka-off” to close.

In Term 2, we held our first Samoan-themed hui to coincide with Samoan Language Week. Silver Fern Sulu Fitzpatrick spoke candidly about the challenges she has faced both personally and in pursuing her netball career. We learned Samoan Dance and Art and ran inspired discussions about wellbeing and overcoming obstacles. In Term 4, 2020, we held our inaugural Junior Hui. The focus was on understanding and having pride in our identity and ancestry as Pacific People as we learned essential history, geography, and language facts in a most engaging way.

Matariki Breakfast

The Matariki Breakfast was held in June to celebrate the Māori and Southern Hemisphere New Year. Students, teachers, whānau, and members of our wider community gathered together at dawn to remember our ancestors and reflect on the present and future. Matua Heke led a karakia and waiata on the field as the sun rose over our beautiful maunga, Rangitoto. The spirit of whanaungatanga filled the Rangi Centre as we all shared breakfast kai and hot drinks in a relaxed atmosphere. This is a wonderful way start our traditional New Year and we welcome you all to join us in 2022.

Summit Academy

Thankfully, Covid-19 was kept at bay in June and we were able to host our prestigious Summit Academy Dinner. This biennial event was established in 2011 to recognise our former students. It is a special evening, which enables our entire community to come together to celebrate honoured graduates of the College who have been carefully selected by our Alumni Committee for their leadership, excellence in their field and contribution to society. This year we honoured the successes of alumna Abigail Boyle, Dean O’Gorman, Prof. Peter Stone, Alex Maloney and Dr Sudhvir Singh. Next time you visit our auditorium, be sure to take a look at their biographies on our Alumni Wall of Fame in the foyer.

Academic Committee

T

he Academic Committee aims to promote positive student engagement with academics, both inside and outside of the classroom, building on Rangitoto College’s strong existing commitment to academic achievement. Building on the college’s core value of excellence, we provide programmes and events that support and encourage students to participate in a positive academic environment, both individually and within wider school life.

This year, we have focused on bringing student perspectives to the academic aspects of school life and to encourage a healthy love for learning and academic competition. Our major event towards

this has been The Chase, a school-wide competitive trivia event. In this event, students and teachers went head-to-head answering a series of trivial questions and battling it out using their knowledge to claim the top prize. This offered students an opportunity to involve themselves in a school-wide extra-curricular activity and engage with academics in a fun, competitive, and social way.

Towards the end of the year the committee has been focusing on encouraging and supporting students with their study. This has included attending the Study Skills Evening in Term 3 alongside providing a student perspective on study, and strategies for how best to support students in building these key skills.

Arts Committee

For the Arts Committee, this year proved to be a great one. To kick it off, we had our first big event of the year in Term 2—Big Lunch In—which was an awesome way to introduce students to the amazing music talent we have at our school. This fun-filled lunchtime of performances in the auditorium included a stellar performance from the Music Department’s staff band.

Our second and biggest event was Arts Week, which took place in the second week of Term 3. This week aimed to engage with and embrace all aspects of the arts through a number of lunchtime events. Monday saw us starting the week with a unique school-wide bagpipes performance by Year 9 committee member Callum Keer-Keer, as we spread the word and made sure everyone in the school knew Arts Week was a go! They sure did. We saw a huge turnout to events which included Just Dance, face

painting, chalk art, and jazz combo performances in the sun. The week wrapped up on Friday with the highly anticipated Rangi’s Got Talent, where hundreds of students filled the auditorium to watch the finalists compete for the top spot, taken out this year by the fabulous dancer Amelia Ullrich. The committee also managed to acquire a record number of sponsors for Arts Week this year who we cannot thank enough— especially Sal’s Pizza who donated 1000 vouchers to our group which were all handed out by the end of the week!

We would also like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who attended our events and supported the wonderful range of arts our school has to offer, and we hope everyone was able to enjoy something new this year.

Community Committee

2021 was a busy year for the Community Committee, with events held throughout the year encouraging communal involvement. In Term 2 we worked with the Service Committee to promote the Blood Service’s annual collection at Rangitoto College. With donations from Year 11s to 13s, we helped raise over 200 units of blood!

We also hosted Rangi Week in Week 10 of Term 2. This involved a range of events, alongside food trucks and school band performances, to support our school community and local businesses. We also ran a school-wide can drive with over 650 non-perishable food items being donated to the Auckland City Mission. Annually, we also host KAOS, and this year was no different. We had students from Years 9 to 13 compete in this school-wide game of tag during Week 3 of Term 3, with Year 13 student Olivia Kirk winning! 2021 has been a great year for the Community Committee.

Cultural Committee

The Cultural Committee was well stocked with keen and enthusiastic members this year and we enjoyed making plans to host Rangitoto College’s annual Cultural Week during Term 3. Cultural Week is a major school-wide event that brings together the many different cultures and languages within our college. In previous years, Cultural Week had been a great success with staff and students alike getting involved in a range of events across the school and community.

However, for 2021, instead of it being ‘just’ a Cultural Committee event, we combined with the new Globalisation Committee to make this year’s event extra special. We were able to host our planned first two days of the week with a cultural display in our school library highlighting the whole week we had arranged, along with a few of the many cultural books on display. We also put on a cultural scavenger hunt, which was helped by different outside sponsors. The day was a huge success, despite the teeming rain, with hundreds of students from all year levels getting involved and winning prizes such as sodas and food vouchers. Our whole committee was involved in setting up, cleaning up, and helping to give out these prizes. Our Cultural Expo and food trucks were arranged for the rest of the week, but sadly lockdown put paid to these events. Our hope is that we can enjoy them later in the year and engage even more of the school community.

Many thanks to our fantastic team for all your hard work this year, and thanks to all the staff, particularly Mr Straayer, Mrs Watson, and Ms Ingham.

61 EVENTS

Environmental Committee

The focus for the Environmental Committee of 2021 is celebration, so in Term 2 we held a week-long event called Earth Week. The committee organised a variety of activities throughout the week with an emphasis on celebrating Papatūānuku and showing our appreciation for the beautiful environment. The activities included flower planting, which allowed students to take home their own creation, the Amazing Race, a bake sale to raise money for Sustainable Coastlines, and chalk art. For the duration of Earth Week, the auditorium foyer was filled with laughter and smiley faces.

After the successful Earth Week event, the Environmental Committee jumped straight back into planning for Term 3. They planned a clothing swap event where students donate or exchange their unwanted clothes in Week 6. Unfortunately, the event had to be postponed due to Level 4 lockdown, but it is a great idea for 2022!

Pastoral Committee

Thisyear the Pastoral Committee was proud to host two school-wide events during Term 2. Our first event was Pink Shirt Day, for which everyone was encouraged to go all out with pink clothing in support of the Mental Health Foundation. Pink Shirt Day stands against bullying and advocates for individuality. During the day the committee put on a pink-themed bake sale as well as setting up a photo frame where students and teachers could take photos with our special guests—Suzy Cato and Senior Constable Bryan Ward. Overall, the day was a huge success with prizes going out to the pinkest tutor group, the pinkest student, and the pinkest teacher. In total, the committee was able to raise $3,411.70 for the Mental Health Foundation.

After the success that was Pink Shirt Day, the committee decided to put on another event advocating for youth mental health, Gumboot Friday. Gumboot Friday encourages New Zealanders to wear gumboots in solidarity with those who suffer with mental health, as it is often likened to walking through mud. Even though it was not a non-uniform day, many students still came in their gumboots to show support for this cause. The committee also put on a gumboot throwing competition and had guest speaker, and young New Zealander of the Year, Jazz Thornton come and address the school about her struggles with mental health. Jazz then was available for photos and book signings. Prizes were won for the coolest gumboots and the furthest gumboot throw. Again, this day was an amazing success, with the committee raising $835 for the I AM HOPE foundation.

Service Committee

The Service Committee has had a productive year growing as a team and improving Rangitoto College’s impact in our community. Our group was formed during the February lockdown and quickly started planning our events for the year. We began with the Special Olympics, an event which helps teenagers with intellectual disabilities from across Auckland get involved in sports. This was a great bonding experience in tandem with getting us involved in the community.

Following the Special Olympics, we also held Bandanna Day. In addition to selling bandannas, we organised a school-wide non-uniform day with the proceeds going to Canteen. Another highlight was helping organise the fundraising for Relay for Life, which raised a record $21,700 for the Cancer Society! The 40-Hour famine was the big event we organised this year, and we were proud to raise over $15,000 for those in need in Malawi. This blew our target of $10,000 out of the water, and our committee was very happy with this result. Students were encouraged with a pizza lunch for the winning class as well as shaving cream-pieing the 1st XV boys. Thanks to the Service Committee for a great 2021!

Sport Committee

This year, the Sports Committee has been involved with a range of events from the Golf Day fundraiser in Term 1 to the 3v3 Basketball tournament and Rangi World Cup Football tournament in Term 2. These tournaments were organised for students to participate in and our intention was to increase students’ overall physical activity and engagement in sport. All the events were a success, particularly the Rangi World Cup football tournament which involved over 130 students across five year levels as well as attracting big crowds at lunch times.

In Term 3 on 25th August a sport non-uniform day had been planned for the Halberg Foundation and for Ōpōtiki Primary, but due to the swift lockdown, this unfortunately was cancelled. We are looking to organise an event for the Year 9s at the end of the year to make up for them missing out on Beach Day due to lockdown at the start of the year.

Wellbeing Committee

A t Rangitoto College, we value our students’ wellbeing within and out of school. Our aim as a school is to take care of each student by promoting an optimised learning environment and overall better high school experience. Hauora is especially important. This involves each individual taking care of their psychological and physical state to prepare for the stresses of life beyond high school.

The Wellbeing Committee consists of 14 Rangitoto College students who deliver messages on student wellbeing in order to prioritise student development in a positive and constructive way. The Wellbeing Committee consists of two groups, a Year 9 group and a Year 10 group, who present frequently at the assemblies of the respective year levels to develop junior wellbeing in a positive manner. This information can be accessed through the Guidance page on Ranginet.

Amnesty International

In 2021, the Amnesty International group at Rangitoto College has managed to create many events and activities for our club members in support of human rights across the world. This year Amnesty International, in collaboration with the Rangitoto UNICEF group, saw over 170 students attend our Quiz Night event which raised much money for the human rights causes that we choose to support.

Another annual Amnesty event, called ‘AmnesTEA’, brought together 135 attendees who actively participated in workshops with humanitarian workers from Amnesty NZ. Through this, we spread awareness on the imprisonment of New Zealand asylum seekers and informed our members on the power of social media advocacy.

Students also contributed their voices towards many current humanitarian issues through peaceful protest in the form of letter writing.

Our students collectively appealed against the mistreatment of those in New Zealand detention centres, the violation of privacy rights through facial recognition technology, and the human rights abuses committed by Israel in occupied Palestinian territories.

Our Amnesty International group has been an opportunity for students to help those experiencing human rights infringements across the world and to raise money to support the causes the Amnesty International organisation believes in. We would like to thank all of our members for their commitment to our causes and look forward to the improvements and contributions our club can make in 2022!

Special thanks to our magnificent student leaders for organising such wellmanaged, student-led events: Samuel Wong (head leader), Youngju Jung (deputy), and Cameron Senior, Jiwoo Song, Evonne Teng, Jenny Hong, and Liam Senior.

Book Club

2021 has been a fantastic year of growth—attendance has grown from 30 to 50 enthusiastic readers. Help was needed, so 11 keen volunteers formed our first committee. They made colourful bookmarks to highlight the club’s favourite reads on the library shelves, and they add to the club’s Recommended Reading stand.

To start the year, a mix and mingle along with a ‘grab a book’ was a great way to introduce ourselves to each other. Each meeting we choose a different genre. The non-fiction book was probably the toughest challenge of the year, with so many fantasy readers amongst us!

Mrs Peachey and some Student Librarians joined us to share the benefits of reading e-Books and assisted everyone downloading the Wheeler’s App, giving them access to hundreds of titles.

The ‘art’ of enjoying books and reading has brought together a diverse group of students, who have established a comfortable bond of friendship through this common interest.

Ms Tilbury and Mrs Hurley truly enjoy being a part of your club.

Rangitoto College Yearbook 68 Panorama 2021

Creative Writing Club

The Rangitoto College Creative Writing Club is one full of creative potential. Students from all years attend weekly drop-in sessions to work on their writing—be it their own original novels, based off a variety of creative writing prompts, or perhaps creative re-interpretations of existing stories. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, allowing casual chat and helpful writing advice or feedback to be shared between teachers and students.

The club itself provides the students with numerous opportunities throughout the year to share their writing. This year, our writers had the opportunity to join various national writing competitions, such as Barfoot and Thompson’s Young Authors Challenge. Student work is also selected and promoted in Panorama competitions or within our English Department’s Slings and Arrows magazine. Through competitions, students have the chance to see their work published.

The club has a variable attendance rate to suit the needs of the students, but when they come students are welcome to work in silence, or chatter idly with friends to discuss their work while keyboards clatter quietly non-stop. Mrs Walters, Mr Davies, and Mr Vlaardingerbroek take turns walking around and engaging with students over their work, discussing ideas or bantering, and of course sharing writing memes. Despite the club almost doubling in size compared to previous years, it never seems cramped, and there is no pressure to attend and write—we know better than anyone that sometimes you just have to go with the creative flow.

Debating

Debating is a dynamic and stimulating form of competitive public speaking where students have only a limited time to prepare their arguments and must work together and think on their feet to defeat other teams’ cases with quick-witted responses. In 2021, Rangitoto College has had a busy and very successful year in this extracurricular activity with a large number of teams competing in various grades of the Auckland Schools Debating inter-school competition, and several outstanding results.

Junior Open

This year Rangitoto College again hosted the Northern Zone of the Auckland Schools Debating Junior Open as well as fielding five teams in this grade. Our teams had fun and competed with vigour and confidence, debating such motions as ‘this house would ban school uniforms’ and ‘this house would ban violent video games’. Two of our teams were able to progress to the break rounds after winning the majority of their debates in the regular rounds. Rangitoto Team One, coached by one of our senior students Kelly Cha, managed to progress all the way to the semi-finals for the entire Auckland region, an amazing achievement for team members Greer McKenzie, Lianne Kim, Joel Bird, Katrina Chen, and Phoebe Lin. A big thank you to Kelly and the other senior students who coached teams in this grade in 2021 and adjudicated debates as part of that role: Wen Shan, Cameron Senior, Kim Milmine, Julia Lim, Ella Lin, Caitlin Hodge, Heyam Murad and Natalie Tsang. They all did an amazing job.

Senior Open

In 2021 four teams from Rangitoto College competed in the Auckland Schools Debating Senior Open competition with students travelling to Westlake Boys High School for the regular rounds of the Northern Zone. Our students competed with determination and flair, and we also had great results in this grade with two teams making it through to the break rounds for the Auckland Region after excelling in the regular rounds. Unfortunately, our two teams that made it through were pitted against each other in the round of 16 so only one could go through! In the end Rangitoto Four, coached by teacher Lucy Irwin, prevailed over Rangitoto Two and went on to do exceptionally well, making it all the

way to the semi-finals for the Auckland Region. The team members Lucy Yu, Raymond Huang and Liam Senior should be very proud of what they achieved. As well as Lucy Irwin, I would like to thank teachers Nada Al-Safi, Robyn Rusden and Ayesha Suresh Kumar for their wonderful mahi in coaching teams in this grade.

Advanced Open

This year Rangitoto College had two teams entered in the competitive and prestigious Advanced Open grade of the Auckland Schools Debating Competition, both coached by dedicated teacher and Panorama editor Olivia Newman. Both teams competed with heart and passion and we had a fantastic result with Rangitoto Two making it all the way to the finals for the Auckland Region and then defeating the fearsome Birkenhead One to be overall winners for 2021. This win was made all the more special by the fact that team members Caitlin Hodge, Ella Lin, Julia Lim and Kim Milmine were all members of a Junior Open team that in 2018 made it to the final for the Auckland Region but lost in what many people in the audience thought was a surprising decision by the adjudicators. The team members (in Year 12 this year) have worked very hard during their time at our school to constantly improve their debating skills, and this result is a testament to their hard work and goodhumoured determination. Congratulations team and coach, you deserve it.

Annual East Coast Bays Rotary Club Inter-School Debate

As icing on the cake, our previously mentioned Rangitoto Advanced Open Team Two again competed in the annual East Coast Bays Rotary Inter-School Debate and were able to defeat Pinehurst to retain the trophy for the third year in a row. This debate is always a fun evening with a large crowd in attendance creating a lively atmosphere and our students really enjoy participating in it. Thank you to the Rotary Club for their mahi in organising this special occasion and showing their support for high school debating in our local area.

Diabolo

Diabolo is a traditional Chinese performance sport which involves tossing an object resembling a giant yo-yo. The Diabolo Club at Rangitoto College is a student-led club with over 20 regular members who gather a few times per week to learn and practice new tricks, with favourites including the Double Diabolo, the Ice Cream, and the renowned Vertax Genocide.

Throughout the year we’ve had many fun episodes such as Richard getting his new $115 diabolo stuck on the roof of A-block, experimenting how to safely use the long string, and Carolyn screaming with joy every time someone lands a trick. However, the highlight of 2021 for us was performing at the annual Chinese Night. Ten new members stepped up to the challenge, along with the three returning leaders, to make the night an incredible spectacle we won’t forget.

We welcome everyone from all year levels and ethnicities to come try this exotic sport, and we can’t wait to see what new tricks our members will learn in the future to amaze you!

Duke of Edinburgh

Pike Ake

Despite

facing the challenges of Covid-19, 45 students from Years 10 to 13 continue to thrive in their engagement with the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary award. The Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary award recognises students’ extra-curricular involvement in service, skill, and physical recreation. Students develop a wide-ranging skill set in order to become global citizens, making close friends through the adventurous journeys and, due to its self-driven nature, it encourages students to develop their initiative and time-management skills while giving back to the community in which they live. Completing the award is a great reflection on the individual and is very fun to be a part of!

Gold participant, Eva Morgan, has this to say about her time with Duke of Edinburgh: “Duke of Edinburgh at Rangitoto has been one of the highlights of my Rangitoto experience. It has taught me several important skills and has pushed me out of my comfort level which has allowed me to take on new challenges that I wouldn’t have considered before. Throughout my awards, I have had to complete a certain amount of time completing a service, skills, and physical activity. This encouraged me to get involved in my school community and sports team, as well as develop a school film club which allowed me to meet new people within the school with similar interests as me. I have also completed several tramps as part of my awards; a challenging but fun experience where I have been able to learn navigation skills as well as resilience and teamwork. Whilst I found the tramps challenging at times, I was able to learn important lessons which have allowed me to take on new challenges and opportunities within and outside of school. Although it is a challenging experience, it is extremely rewarding to complete a Duke of Ed award and something I would highly recommend to students who are looking to do something new and exciting.”

2021 also saw the continuation and evolvement of Pike Ake. Pike Ake (Rise Up) is a group of Rangitoto College students focus on self-improvement and contribution to the wider community. Students involved in the programme are currently supported through the Duke of Edinburgh’s Bronze Award and we are very lucky to be fully funded thanks to the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Aotearoa New Zealand. The young men involved are also required to complete an adventurous journey over two days and one night, and log activity weekly for service, skill, and physical recreation.

Congratulations to all our 2021 participants.

Dungeons and Dragons Club

Roll the dice, put on an accent, and step into adventure. The Rangitoto Dungeons and Dragons club is a hubbub of stories and adventure cultivated between dedicated players and ingenious dungeon masters. Work as a team through beautiful worlds built by our club leaders and work with or against other parties to make your mark on the land, or step off to the side and build a small world and adventure right under their noses—the choice is yours, and your friends’.

The Dungeons and Dragons Club had been enjoying a very successful second year with a growing number of players and dungeon masters until it was rudely interrupted by lockdown. Meeting twice weekly after school in M block, a dedicated band of adventurers could often be heard throughout the building exercising their creativity and problem-solving.

Environmental Working Bees

There have been a lot of environmental focused activities this year at Rangitoto College. The newly formed Sustainable Coastlines club led by members of Environmental Group Working Bees, Natalie Tsang, Matilda Towers, Heyam Murad, and Lee-Anne Morris, organised several successful beach clean-ups. We also held Rangitoto College’s very first Environmental Hackathon event in May, where students competed to create a detailed and sustainable action plan to solve some environmental issues that our school is facing. Following the Hackathon event, we put two winning ideas into action: a Tree Sanctuary and a Gecko Garden. With the help of Anna Harrison, from Auckland City Council, Miss Corrie Morrissey led a group of Working Bees who cleaned up and prepared a section for tree planting and setting up a gecko garden.

71 ACTIVITIES

EsportsEsports continues to be a popular sporting alternative at our school, and our successes have continued. It was also an extra-curricular activity that was able to continue mostly as normal despite the interruptions throughout the year. Esports garners all of the attributes and social aspects of regular sports, with a fraction of the physical exertion. Teamwork, perseverance, and strategy are all attributes that our successful teams have developed and embraced.

This year has seen the introduction of a National Sporting Organisation for Esports, with most titles played in competitions sanctioned by the Esports Federation (ESF). Our teams competed in a wide variety of titles, including League of Legends, Valorant, Rocket League, Legends of Runeterra, and Teamfight Tactics.

Valorant is the most recent addition to the high school competitive league and was our most successful this year. Our premier team dominated the competition, placing first in the country without losing a single match throughout the entire season. Having players who are almost at a professional level of play certainly helped. Unfortunately, the national finals had to be played online but were still broadcast by professional commentators and with significant support in the viewership from the Rangitoto College community.

Girls Coding Club

Girls Coding Club is a group that gets together once a week on Tuesday lunchtime. It is run by Year 13 student, Evita Land. This group encourages girls to learn how to code in Python by tackling different programming problems each week. Coding is a good skill to have as it requires logical thinking and problemsolving skills. Furthermore, programming is playing a more important role in many aspects of our daily lives. In this fast-evolving technological era, computational thinking is becoming an essential skill to have. By learning to code at Girls Coding Club, we hope that all members can become more confident in coding. We are looking forward to seeing this club grow and finding more girls who have a passion for coding.

Helping Hands

Helping Hands began in 2020 with a group of senior students who give up some of their weekend time to go and work, packing mouse traps on the weekend for a factory in Silverdale. To date, the students have earned nearly $3000 which has benefited many groups that help to improve the lives of people who are struggling in our community. Donations have been given to the Auckland City Mission and the Auckland branch of Women’s Refuge. The students also bought 64 pairs of pyjamas to donate to the Middlemore Foundation’s ‘Jammies in June’ project. They also donated funds to the Orange Sky project. Orange Sky operate big orange vans and they go around the homeless community and provide them with hot showers and a chance to wash and dry their clothes. They have showers and washing machines and dryers in each van.

This has been a positive experience for the students as the organisations have been most appreciative of the kindness and generosity of the

students. Volunteering their time and effort has been beneficial in terms of happiness and self-esteem for the students and it has been a great way to connect with groups in our community. There is a sense of pride in knowing that you can help to make a difference in the lives of people who may be less fortunate than ourselves.

LiNK

Liberty in North Korea (LiNK) is an organisation based in the USA and South Korea that is committed to their global movement of helping North Korean people reach liberty. At Rangitoto College, LiNK is a student-led club that aims to raise awareness on the ongoing human rights crisis in North Korea, whilst raising funds to help the refugees in their journey out of North Korea as well as the resettlement process into new countries.

One of LiNK’s biggest goals is changing the narrative to people over politics. We aim to bridge the gap between countries by thinking of the people instead of the negatively popularised image of the North Korean government we are exposed to. This year, we hoped to spread this important message by screening a LiNK documentary, The People’s Crisis, and holding a poster-making competition. We asked our members to create posters aimed at educating people about what LiNK does, sharing refugee stories and rescue missions, and refuting misunderstood beliefs about North Korea.

Another important factor in LiNK’s mission is to fundraise and carry out refugee rescues. It costs $3000 to help a North Korean refugee travel from Northern China to safety in Southeast Asia. To help raise money, we held fundraising events such as market days, and collected donations from our documentary screenings. All profit we made from these events go straight to the LiNK headquarters to help with refugee rescues.

73 ACTIVITIES

International Students

2021 has been a challenging year for the international students at Rangitoto College. With the borders closed for international visitors for much of 2021, no new students were able to come into the country and all of our current international students were not able to go home to see family and friends for over a year. With over 120 international students still at Rangitoto, a big focus has been put on our students’ mental health and care, and the formation of our new globalization committee consisting of both international students and domestic students.

The purpose of the committee is to have a greater presence for the international students and help organize events for them. One such event was our Term 3 pizza lunch getting all our international students together to share some laughs fun and pizza!

Our international students made the best of their time at the school, getting involved in different sporting and after school events. Some students have had to finish their time at Rangitoto College early to head home for university enrolments; however, many will be staying on for the next year and more time away from their home families. We wish all the best to our leaving international students and hope their time at the school has had a positive impact in their future studies or endeavours!

Red Cross

At Rangitoto College, the Red Cross group has been providing support and raising awareness for the Red Cross mission. Our 2021 leadership group has shown great resilience and strength when, time after time, events were cancelled, complicated, or delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We have had group members take part in the Red Cross Journey and the annual street appeal. We staffed three sites during the street appeal and stood alongside 1,500 volunteers nationwide.

Our biggest event of the year, the Red Cross Book Fair, has been delayed but we are hopeful that it will take place towards the end of the year. In 2019, the Book Fair raised $7,200. This year we have set an ambitious goal of $10,000.

Scale Model Club

Once a week, a group of keen like-minded students, who are interested in making scaled-down military miniatures and dioramas, meet to create a range of models. The students work within a process of making a model, involving creative thinking, precision planning, and building with a variety of tools, painting, and weathering. Many of the models take numerous weeks to fully complete to a high standard of finish, with some requiring much attention to detail.

TOI

TOI is a national wearable art competition where entries are exhibited at live Showquest events. During Term 2 at the Auckland regional event held at the Aotea Centre, Rangitoto College’s entry entitled “Fear” won the award for Best Stage Presence. Designed by Liza Rasskazova, and made with the help of Sophia Hepper and Grace Munro, our team’s garment gained 3rd place out of over 225 entries that were judged by WOW’s founder Dame Suzie Moncrieff and competition director Heather Palmer. We are super proud of their efforts, and pleased to have received the following feedback from the judges:

What a clever and striking entry! It appears to be well constructed and every aspect has been well thought out. A great example of how to tell a story through a piece of wearable art. Surreal and dramatically different.

UNICEF

Founded in 2015, the UNICEF club at Rangitoto College now has over 300 members who strive to support the work that UNICEF NZ does in protecting the rights and wellbeing of vulnerable children around the world. This year, we decided to support UNICEF NZ’s ‘Vaccinate a Child’ appeal. It has the purpose of revitalising vaccination rates for diseases such as measles and pneumonia, which saw a global drop due to the impact of Covid-19.

2021 has been an extremely successful and rewarding year for the club. Our leaders have worked tirelessly to organise many events and projects.

Our staple Quiz Night in May and our Black Widow movie night in July were sure highlights. In total, we raised just over $2000, which is enough to provide about 4,000 measles vaccines to children who need them the most that are least likely to receive them. The noticeboards project also proved to be popular again, which gave the opportunity for 54 students to spread awareness about current global issues affecting children today.

Thank you to all our UNICEF members for actively participating in the club; we hope for an exciting 2022 and wish our Year 13 leaders the best for the future.

UN Youth

UN Youth at Rangitoto in 2021 saw a massive growth of interest, with a registration of more than 100 club members this year. UN Youth is a youth organisation centred around hands-on learning for policy-making, international relations, and civics education.

Although this year Rangitoto’s in-school Model United Nations couldn’t go ahead, students were extremely proactive in participating in many of UN Youth’s official regional and national events. One of these was Auckland’s flagship two-day event AMUN, which saw 500+ student delegates across the region take part in.

Throughout this year, students were immersed in events that sought to inspire young people to become global citizens and be proactive in creating change in the communities around them. This growing interest in global politics and civics education shines a very optimistic light for the school community and beyond.

Virtual Reality Club

Virtual Reality (VR) Club is a group that gets together once a week after school to create a game for the new frontier of virtual reality. The group contains members with passions in graphic design, coding, level design, and 3D modelling, and provides a space in which their talents can be realised.

This year the club mainly focused on building bigger numbers for the team. With Year 13 student, Vladimir Minkov, leading the team, each of our experienced members have taken on responsibilities to help train new members of the club in areas of programming and 3D modelling, among others. The team now consists of mostly new members, many in Year 9, who have potential to be future great leaders of the club.

They have started to design a ‘thriller’ VR game where the player moves forward in a vehicle and is faced with enemies to defeat, who pop out, frightening the player with jump scares along the way. The group has had discussions about including parodies of well-known characters from all types of media.

Though overseen by teachers, the club is primarily run by students. It provides a valuable opportunity to learn leadership and management skills in a fun, risk-free environment. The group learns to work together to create something memorable that everyone can be proud of. The current game will be in continuous development all throughout their years of high school and they will be able to watch it grow with them. It will lead to a really high quality outcome in the years to come, which we are looking forward to.

Performing Arts Co-Curricular Report

Back to work on site—well, mostly!

After a very challenging 2020 for Performing Arts activities, we were delighted to get “back to work” with the students in our numerous co-curricular groups. While I tried to answer the questions, “Why are we doing all this co-curricular stuff?” and “How does it affect the learning of our students?” in my pre-Covid 2019 article, the answer became obvious after our prolonged, covid-induced pause on those activities. Why? Because students (and parents) need them, often desperately!

Seeing the overjoyed smiles of students and parents during our recent Performing Arts performances, festivals, and competitions, and considering the unanimous positive feedback given verbally, in writing, and through social media, we can rest assured that our co-curricular activities are adding valuable learning opportunities to our students’ lives which are evidently greatly appreciated and were sorely missed during 2020.

As we are again in lockdown while I write this article (and yes, there have been some very tough moments where longplanned and highly anticipated events had to be cancelled at the last minute), we can appreciate how fortunate we have been as a department to engage fully with our co-curricular groups for a large part of 2021, and to have enjoyed an abundance of weekly rehearsals, performances, and competitions together.

Instead of bragging about how we did (and there is a lot to brag about!) I would like to dig a little deeper into what causes this positive attitude towards co-curricular Performing Arts opportunities, and where we see the value they create:

1. One of the philosophical cornerstones in all co-curricular groups is to strive for your personal best. Nothing more, nothing less. We are less concerned about the competitive placing at the end of the process and much more about the daily work done on the way. This not only connects students through a shared goal, but it is also truly rewarding. The moment when students reach their personal best when it counts is the real reward—not the colour of the medal—and the reaction of our students shows that they understand the difference.

2. Sharing a common goal creates an environment of safety, respect, and belonging, where students know they are cared for because they too care for others. Meaningful and authentic relationships are formed between the students themselves as well as with the staff. These social implications are often the main reasons students want to join a group in the first place, especially after hearing from others how much fun they had.

3. Making learning fun by giving it a purpose other than earning credits. While credits are important, they cannot truly measure the amount of learning that has taken place. In co-curricular groups, where there is zero pressure of learning for credits, students often work just as hard or even harder, thus surpassing their own expectations, as well as what would be measurable in the narrow band of Achieved, Merit, or Excellence.

Overall, we believe that the culture our co-curricular Performing Arts environment creates is the real benefit for both students and staff, changing the attitude regarding any task from “I have to” to “I really want to” and who could put a value on that?

Again, I would like to congratulate and thank all students and staff for the enormous contribution they have made to our co-curricular Performing Arts programme during 2021, as well as all our parents for their continued support.

Music Tuition Programme

The success of our music tuition programme is largely due to the wonderful team of tutors who visit our school week after week, year after year, and in some cases, decade after decade! 2021 marks a special milestone for two of our itinerant team, Mrs Beverley Brockelbank and Mr Chris Mason-Battley, who are both celebrating 20 years as itinerant tutors in our Rangitoto community. Chris is a saxophone expert and a genius on anything related to jazz or music technology. Bev is a superstar on oboe and flute and the much-loved conductor of Wind Orchestra, Sinfonia and Concert Band. Bev and Chris are a real pleasure to have in our Music family, and I would like to officially acknowledge and thank them for their loyalty and support and for the critical role they play in the culture of the Performing Arts Department.

Of course continuity of staff is crucial for ensuring steady numbers, for increasing learning outcomes, and for enabling specific initiatives to succeed and thrive, but most of all it demonstrates that our staff love teaching at Rangitoto College! Who could ask for anything more?

Year 13 Music Leaders

Our incredible Music Leaders have taken on essential responsibilities in the running of numerous music events: greeting audiences, serving food, washing dishes, emceeing, helping backstage, collecting tickets, and handing out programmes. They willingly boost the sound in our junior ensembles by jumping in to play for rehearsals and performances. We thank them for being amazing ambassadors of our school and for embracing the spirit of our Music Department.

NZCT Chamber Music Contest

The New Zealand Community Trust Chamber Music Contest attracts thousands of students from across the country, with ensembles entering first into the district rounds, then qualifying further for the wider regional finals, and ultimately going on to the national final. Seven of eight Rangitoto chamber groups took part in the 2021 Auckland district competition with Trio Anima receiving one of four KBB Awards for the Auckland district, and The Stymphalian Trio and Trio Noir selected in the top 12 for the Auckland district finals. Trio Noir were further selected in the top 12 for the northern regional finals. Several Rangitoto students also achieved highly in the competition as members of mixed-school ensembles.

Chamber Music & Chocolate

The second concert in our May series delivered an evening of refined music in sophisticated surroundings, hosted effortlessly by MCs Cameron Senior and Anna Haine. Our chamber music supporters were treated to delicate chocolate morsels of fudge and truffles accompanied by eight highly polished chamber ensembles. Wind instruments featured prominently in this year’s programme (in six of the eight ensembles) including a breath-taking piece by Gabriel Pierné for the saxophone quartet. It was heart-warming to see numerous chamber programme alumni in the audience, and an honour to feature jazz duo, Wil Goodinson and Lukas Fritsch, who are both alumni and now itinerant tutors at Rangitoto.

Concertos and Cookies

Over 200 students performed to a packed auditorium at our annual Concertos and Cookies concert in July. The audience eagerly devoured 500 mouth-watering cookies (professionally baked, packaged, and labelled by the unbeatable team from Food Technology) and sipped on cups of tea while enjoying a spectacular smorgasbord of music from our Concert Band, Wind Orchestra, Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, and Sinfonia Orchestra. Crowd favourites were Concert Band’s Jitterbug!, Schindler’s List Theme played by our Chamber Orchestra—featuring Jesse Oh on solo violin, and Sinfonia’s moving rendition of Remember Me from the animated movie, Coco.

Jazz Club

Our jazz families, alumni, staff, and students simply cannot wait for this event to arrive. It really has become one of the most looked forward to events of the year and Jazz Club 2021 did not disappoint. The MBIS Jazz Band started the programme off at a cracking pace, followed by four Rangitoto bands and five combos, and finished (as has become tradition) with a fast and furious set from Auckland University combo— featuring several Rangitoto alumni. Our Year 13 Music Leaders and several staff were kept busy in the kitchen where they were selling hot drinks, soft drinks, and mouth-watering chocolate brownies in five delectable flavours, to raise funds for the Wellington Jazz Trip in June. A special shout-out to the Food Technology Department, whose staff and students created 1000 individually packaged and professionally presented chocolatey treats for our May series—these special events simply would not be the same without you!

Big Sing Choral Festival

Serenata, Cambiata, and The Fundamentals competed the Big Sing Choral Festival at Auckland Town Hall in June, with Massa di Voce performing as a non-competitive group. Each ensemble performed a bracket of three songs in the competitive daytime recitals, with a highlight being Massa di Voce’s stunning rendition of Eric Whitacre’s Glow, featuring a string octet. The Fundamentals were selected for the Big Sing Cadenza in Rotorua where they gained a Korimako (Distinction) Award. Serenata qualified for the national final in Christchurch, but sadly this final part of the competition was cancelled only a few days beforehand, due to the nationwide lockdown and consequent travel and gathering restrictions.

Vocal Recitals

Asfate would have it, A Choral Confection was cancelled (for the second year in a row) due to lockdown. Posters were up, tickets were made, repertoire was being polished, lollipops were being researched, but alas, it was not to be. Fortunately, the five choral ensembles (including the very newly reformed junior choir of only a few weeks) had hosted their free “no frills” recital in mid-June, prior to the Big Sing Regionals, so at least parents were able to enjoy one full choral recital. In addition to this, Serenata performed at Windsor Park for an over-65s Soup Lunch, The Fundamentals performed in a Matariki concert at St Matthewin-the-City as invited guests of Camerata Chamber Choir, and both Serenata and The Fundamentals delivered two very entertaining assembly performances for the students at MBIS.

Year 9 Rock Class

Rock Bands and Rocky Road

After having to cancel all major music concerts in 2020, it was truly satisfying to be able to plan and deliver all three of the ‘café-style’ events in our muchanticipated May series. Rock Bands and Rocky Road kicked things off with a packed audience enjoying sumptuous slabs of rocky road (made by the talented staff and students in Food Technology) while soaking up the original sounds of twelve bands and five solo/duo artists. In addition to these fabulous school acts, we were delighted to welcome two very special alumni artists, Sandtrap and Ben & Brody. After total immersion in chocolate and rock music, 2021 will probably stick in our minds for two main reasons. Firstly, it was the first time our Tech Crew formed a band and performed on stage (a real crowd pleaser), and secondly, it was the first time the smoke machine had ever set the fire alarms off during a music event (not such a crowd pleaser, but our evacuation skills were on point!)

Theatresports

Theatresports is a fast-growing club which has gone from strength to strength this year. We had a whopping 41 students join the club this year, and it was lovely to see so many juniors take up the call of improv. Theatresports is competitive improvised theatre, with students working in teams of four to produce short, comic scenes. Each team is judged by a panel who assess their abilities in techniques, storyline and entertainment and gives each scene a score out of ten for each area. In order to succeed, you need a fundamental understanding of performance, a big imagination, a great sense of humour, and bravery in order to pull it all together. This year we moved our sessions from lunch time to after school, giving students more time to grow their skills. We have also hosted more in-house competitions and competed in matches against other schools.

Early in the year we hosted the Theatresports Youth Programme’s New Leaders Workshop, which saw students from all over Auckland come together to learn leadership skills. Our first competition against Onehunga High School, Westlake Girls High School, and Orewa College was a good opportunity for newcomers JJ and Sam Davies to perform with leaders Joshua Trotter and Bryn Etherton. They did incredibly well, creating unique and funny stories and characters. Lots of fun was had and we came a not-too-shabby second to Orewa College. Our next match against Orewa College, Westlake Girls, and Northcote College pulled in a large crowd of supporters. Our team consisted of Joshua Trotter, Bryn Etherton, Jayden Cross and Frano Holloway. Dressed in our new Theatresports tees, the students really looked the part. Their performances were incredibly funny and well-crafted, and the the judges commented, “You showed excellent teamwork in this game, sharing responsibilities of advancing and detailing the story, listening to each other, constructing a wacky story piece by piece… you played like a good ensemble – everyone working together.”

The judges were impressed with the Rangitoto College students who were on stage, but also those in the audience who supported the team and helped to create a fun evening. All the hard work and practice they have put in this year paid off and they won the evening, beating out the competition with a comfortable lead. Further festival matches were postponed by another lockdown but students in this group should be proud of the efforts they have put in this year and the progress they have made. A big thank you to Dannielle Savage and Sophie Catterall, for their support and judging skills at our in-house matches, and to parents and students for supporting our teams. A great year everyone, well done!

Drama Company

This year the Drama Company planned to produce four productions, which was an incredible goal and one we would have been proud of. We started the year with a visit to Wonderland by falling down the rabbit hole with Alice, and we were taken on a journey of magic and surprise. Various lockdowns then put a stop to some of our performances, but through our preparations we were able to somewhat continue our journey. We moved to America, on to a soccer field to support the girls’ team, The Wolves. We navigated the world through their eyes and looked at the challenges they faced on a daily basis and the connections they made as a team. We then headed to a deserted island where debris covered the shoreline, and so we headed into the forest and staring back at us was a pig’s head being held up by Lord of the Flies boys. Our last planned stop on this journey was visiting Ebenezer Scrooge in a very cold and dark London town, theoretically just in time for Christmas.

We had 48 company members that consisted of a mix of Year 9 to Year 13 students, and they were lucky enough to perform to audiences of over 700 people at The Pumphouse and our Performing Arts Centre. The students all prepared to take part in the audition process for each of the productions and some took on roles backstage too. We planned countless rehearsals during the weeks and weekends with very short turnarounds for each play, but the students were not fazed by this at all and relished the opportunity to perform, work together and showcase their talents.

One of the main foundations of the Drama Company is the word ‘ensemble,’ which means ‘a group of musicians, actors, or dancers who perform together’ and this is exactly what we promote. We all have our roles to play in the productions we produce, and without each other, no plays would be possible. I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff involved with helping us, and especially to Sara Hunt and Sophie Catterall. I would also like to thank all the students involved in the company this year for their hard work and dedication, your efforts are hugely appreciated.

Dance Showcase

Ampersand: a symbol or character representing ‘and.’ It is used for connection, collaboration, and continuation. It is for bringing people together. A reminder that there is more to come...

The stage was set for Dance Showcase 2021 to be another fantastic show. Titled Ampersand, the concept of this year’s show was surrounding connection, collaboration, and continuation. This was a chance to celebrate all the hard work that our dance students have put in over the course of the year. The platform of dance showcase provides all our dancers, Years 9 to 13 with an opportunity to showcase their skills and abilities in a supportive yet professional environment, at the Bruce Mason Centre. As always, this showcase was to be a highlight of the year for our students, whānau and wider school community.

Like many events, our annual dance showcase had to be cancelled due to Covid-19 lockdowns. We were so disappointed to not share this event with you all, but still gained fantastic experience from our preparations. We are incredibly proud of our dancers.

This year our junior dance students planned to perform a wide variety of dance styles. Two of our Year 9 Dance classes rehearsed an ensemble piece exploring contemporary and musical theatre-based movement. Whilst our third Year 9 Dance class worked on an excellent contemporary dance work based on the exploration of patterns, rhythms, beats, and tempos. Our Year 10 students planned a class contemporary work inspired by the natural elements, air, water, and nature; as well as an upbeat piece inspired by the movement and magic of jazz dancer/ choreographer, Bob Fosse. For many of our junior dancers the opportunity to perform on a professional stage would be new to them. I know they would have showed professionalism and enthusiasm throughout the course of the day.

Our Year 11 Dance students created three strong works this year. Whilst all very different encompassing the dance styles of jazz, contemporary and musical theatre, our Year 11 dancers would have been a standout. Their technical execution of movement has developed consistently throughout this year and they should all be commended. The Year 11 students have been led by Miss Sophie Catterall and Miss Renee Richards this year, and I would like to say a special thank you to them for their work with this cohort.

Our Year 12 Dance students wowed us during their preparations! What an exceptional cohort of talent and pizazz. These dancers have worked tirelessly on several performance standards. I have been proud of how this cohort has supported one another and worked together to create a memorable Year 12 dance experience. They are a year group to watch for the future.

For our Year 13 dancers, showcase is always a significant event in the calendar. A time to reflect, celebrate and acknowledge the work which many of them have put in over the past five years. Dance showcase is as such, a sort of graduation from the dance department for our Year 13s. A position of privilege which is earned throughout their time in the department and a chance to thank them for the energy, time, and effort they put into their Rangitoto College experience. Irrespective of the actual night, I want to thank you for everything you put in and bring to our performances!

A final comment on the planned Dance showcase—the title was not meant to signify another lockdown. However, Ampersand became more of an apt title of this year’s show than first thought. We did not take for granted the privilege of having access to a theatre for most of this year, when many of the world’s most grand theatres have had their doors closed for almost two years now. A final word of gratitude from me to all the students, staff and families who make our dance showcase such a highlight of the year! I can’t wait for our 2022 event.

Choreography by Candlelight

This year, for the first time, we transformed our studio into a magical candle-lit space. Our senior students were able to display their own choreographic works, created through internal standards in class. Year 13 dance students showcased their choreographic works made earlier this year, which were inspired and developed by a stimulus: cycles and rituals. Year 12s displayed their group choreography based on their favourite childhood games. We also got to look at both Year 11 Dance classes and the imaginative duets that they had created, which were based on opposing words such as ‘create’ and ‘destroy.’

Audience members were invited to navigate their way through the candles to find their unique seating arrangement. Together we celebrated the students’ achievements in a supportive environment. We so were thrilled by the success of this event and overwhelmed by the positive feedback that we are now inspired to hold more events like this in the future.

Magnum Company

Magnum Company is a contemporary dance-based group at Rangitoto College that focuses on creative choreography and working collaboratively, whilst honing in on students’ technical skills. 2021 has been another fantastic year with over 100 students auditioning—it really is such a privilege each year to see the hunger and drive from every student who comes to audition. Ultimately, we ended up with 33 dancers ranging from Year 9 to 13, and we got started straight away. The planning for Magnum Company however, started at the end of 2020, as we worked with our talented three leaders, Amelia Ullrich, Emily Hall, and Grace Lee, to decide on a concept. Magnum Company always seeks to create thought-provoking works that get our audiences thinking. Our first piece, Child’s Play, is a reminder about the playfulness and limitlessness of the child’s mind and the idea that anything is possible. Magnum Company’s first competition was the National Dance Competition, and it was fantastic to bring home second place for the Contemporary Troupe award. Our second piece, In a world of Picasso, looks at abstract shapes and pictures inspired by Pablo Picasso’s artistry.

Working with Magnum Company is a highlight every year and this year has been no different. We have loved seeing our dancers grow and work together, and we look forward to 2022.

Magnum Junior Troupe

2021 has been an outstanding year for Magnum Junior Troupe. This year we had over 50 dancers audition to fill thirteen places. These dancers are exceptionally talented jazz dancers from Years 9 to10. We had one very talented dance captain, Summer Hawkins, who helped lead the troupe. This year’s piece, Casper, is a jazz funk number that is influenced by the idea of bright colours and shadow photography. Magnum Junior Troupe placed first in the Jazz division at the National Dance competition, and Rangitoto was also the overall school winner held earlier this year. We are super excited to see the talent in 2022!

Dancers

Magnum Senior Troupe is an auditioned jazz technique ensemble, made up of Years 11 to 13 students. In 2021, thirteen talented dancers auditioned and received a place. Each year the Senior Troupe works on a dance piece which is entered into competitions across Auckland. This year the piece, set to Queen’s class song Don’t Stop Me Now, explores the idea of enjoying life and forgetting everything that can hold you to the ground. It’s for believing you touch the stars. They were successful in receiving second place at the National Dance competition. I would like to extend a big thank you to our Year 13 dancers, some of whom have been a part of our technique troupes since Year 9 and will be departing the college at the end of this year. We thank you for your dedication and service. Jennifer Maxwell

Hip Hop Mega Crew

Hip Hop Mega Crew is another of our premier dance groups which is an auditioned co–curricular group. This crew houses dancers from Year 9 to 13, and always showcases tough competition at the auditions held at the beginning of each year. Our dance leaders Hanae Choi, Emily Hall, and Maya Erichsen have created a set inspired by making the most out of their school experience. This set was created for the Light it Up National Schools’ competition where they took out fifth place, and the award for the most original school. Another highlight of the year was placing fourth at the Impact Dance competition! They received an excellence award and were just knocked out of the top three with a final score of 84.3.

Hip Hop Mega Crew continues to excel and strives to upskill in foundational skills and street dance technique. We are very proud of this group of dancers and look forward to the success they will attain in the future.

“One of the main reasons I chose Rangitoto College was because I knew the Dance Department could provide me with great opportunities and experiences that would help me grow as a dancer. A massive highlight of my experience was being a part of the Hip Hop Mega Crew for five consecutive years. Being a part of this team allowed me to create so many new friendships with other students not only in my year level but also in the year levels above and below me. I know that these friendships will last outside of school, and I love that I was able to represent my school doing something that I love, with some of my closest friends. My greatest memories of being a student at Rangitoto College stem from being a part of the mega crew and I am so grateful for everything that came from it.”

Te Kiko O Rangitoto

Ka tākoto te mānuka – the challenge has been laid.

At Rangitoto, our kapa haka crew, Te Kiko o Rangitoto is a multi level, multi ethnic group who share a strong sense of whanaungatanga and aroha for waiata and haka.

In 2021, Rangitoto College returned to the ASB Polyfest stage for the first time in over 10 years. ASB Polyfest is the biggest Polynesian festival on the planet. Our kapa haka performed first on the Māori stage to an audience of hundreds and a live stream of many, many more.

Polyfest preparation started early in January for Matua Heke, Whaea Sarah, and Matua Gideon to prepare the performance bracket. When the term started, the kapa crew trained for up to 10 hours a week, growing in resilience and perseverance, to pursue excellence. The theme for the performance was “Kia Mau ki tō Reo Rangatira,” “Hold fast to the language

of your ancestors.” Perhaps the highlight of the bracket was performing the haka, Ka tākoto te mānuka, challenging everyone to stand up and be a warrior to protect Te Reo Māori. Te Kiko o Rangitoto 2021 exceeded our expectations and has set the bar high for future years to follow.

Te Kiko o Rangitoto would like to thank Mr Gale, the Board of Trustees, Whaea Davina, Whaea Jess, and Whaea Diana for the amazing support they give us. Finally a big mihi to the Naea whānau, Leah Te Haara, and Holly Purnell, who have been staunch supporters of Te Kiko o Rangitoto in 2021.

Kia ora e te iwi o Rangitoto. Kia mau ki te reo rangatira!

Haramai te toki, haumi e, hui e, tāiki e!

Sport Director’s Report

The

Rangitoto College Sport community is something special and it is a great privilege for the Sport Department to work with this simply outstanding group. As I glance at our coaches and managers spreadsheet on my screen, it highlights around 250 amazing students, teachers, parents, and community stakeholders who week in week out give up their time unselfishly to coach and manage the many teams we have across 30 plus sports. These wonderful people make sport possible for our students and we are so grateful to you all. Add in those who umpire and referee, and of course the many parents, caregivers, friends, and extended whānau who support our students and teams in rain, hail or shine—we thank you! From athletics all the way through to yachting, our school delivers a myriad of sport opportunities and it is our goal to provide something everyone, regardless of skill level or aspirations. On any given day this can be seen with a multitude of sport activities taking place, which range from ‘have a go volleyball’ opportunities at lunch time, to social table tennis after school, to high performing teams preparing for national level competition, and so much more. Regardless of the level, sport provides a platform for enhanced physical, social, and mental wellbeing of our students, whilst also facilitating cultural connectiveness. Further, it serves as a platform to develop the school values of courage, respect, excellence, integrity, and pride. When watching our teams play, I am constantly impressed by our sport students who exude these values, not only in competition, but in all other areas of their lives, and this is what really matters.

As per 2020, these values have shone through as our students and coaches have had to endure another lockdown which brought most of our winter sports to a grinding halt, and in some cases robbed a number of our teams of the opportunity to achieve higher honours. The week of lockdown, our Premier Boys Basketball team were scheduled to play Westlake in the final of the Auckland competition and our Premier Girls Netball team were to play Carmel in the North Harbour final. Similarly, our Premier Boys Football team had a critical match against Kings which would determine the opportunity to play for possible promotion. Although we were deservedly and proudly awarded championship status as the top finishers of both the aforementioned basketball and netball competitions, I know our players desperately wanted to play in their finals and our community wanted to

be there with them. The cancellation of winter tournament week and the basketball nationals scheduled for the school holidays, further took away opportunities from our athletes—we feel especially for our Year 13 students who were unable to experience these special occasions. Our hearts go out to all students and coaches who have worked so hard throughout this season to have these special moments taken away. I commend everyone for never giving up hope and for the way you have all responded during this tough time. Most of you kept training with the resources you had and many of our coaches stayed connected to their teams, providing ongoing support, guidance, and motivation in challenging circumstances.

Despite missed opportunities because of Covid-19, this year has still provided many outstanding moments from a sporting success perspective. Although all of these cannot be covered in this article, a number of great achievements include national championship titles to our Premier Boys Volleyball team, our sailing team, and our swimming team. National podium places were also achieved in athletics and para-athletics, beach volleyball, premier girls volleyball and premier boys and girls water polo. Furthermore, students in many other sports achieved outstanding national successes in badminton, stand up paddling, skateboarding, judo and golf—to name a few. Of note, our female sports student leader, Shaunna Li is New Zealand’s senior women’s singles, doubles, and mixed doubles champion. It doesn’t get better than that.

In conclusion I would like to thank everyone involved in the Rangitoto College sport community for everything you do for our school, for each other, and for sport. Also, our key sponsors and suppliers for your ongoing loyalty and desire to support our school. Special thanks to our student sport leaders Shaunna Li and John Frimpong for your drive and support of all things sport throughout the year. Lastly, I would like to acknowledge and thank my team, Nat Moe, Ryan Williams, Sarah-Jane Beck and Alex Ruck for your ongoing professionalism and unwavering commitment to our sport community.

Sports Performance Academy

The Sports Performance Academy (SPA) Blue programme provides an environment for athletes to develop physical and psychosocial skills needed within their sporting lives. The programme incorporates athletes from a range of differing sporting codes, including but not limited to football, basketball, golf, sailing, athletics, and more. This shared space of learning provides a variation in training, perspectives, and skill sets which has proved to be so beneficial in youth sport. The main objective of the SPA Blue programme is for students to develop a healthy and happy relationship with exercise. A secondary objective or by-product of this relationship is improved athletic performance and injury prevention. Implementing evidence-based practice into all aspects of the programme enables athletes to grow and understand how they can better themselves moving forward.

There are multiple attributes and skills which are focused on throughout the year. Movement skill, strength, speed and power are examples of these physical attributes. As well as these areas psychosocial skills, including decision-making, autonomy, and problem-solving, were a target for improvement. An athlete-led approach has been a key tool for aiding in the success of the programme this year. Greater emphasis was placed on the aforementioned psychosocial concepts and the result has been a positive engagement in learning as well as the ability to express and give feedback to their peers.

This year the SPA Blue programme has continued to grow both in terms of numbers and the development of the athletes involved. This continuation from last year consisted of a great mix of returning and new students alike, each with their own characteristics and personalities. It was a personal highlight to see how the group assimilated and welcomed these new students with open arms. It has also been epic to witness the growth of these athletes in relation to their understanding of key competencies as well as their personal confidence in their own abilities. Performance measures were assessed over the course of the year and it was rewarding to see many athletes reach their goals. I commend the effort and engagement from the entire group this year and look forward to building upon these foundations next year.

Track and Field Season

The North Harbour Zone Athletics Championships encouraged more than 35 student-athletes competing in a wide variety of events this year. The students achieved great success at these champs, displaying the talent of our athletics team. We ended up coming away with over 20 Auckland qualifiers, as well as 33 podium places.

This then sent 22 athletes to the Auckland Championships at Mt Smart in which we followed on from the North Harbour Championships, gaining a plethora of medals including some records also.

Congratulations to the following students:

Jaden Movold – 1st Para 400m, 2nd Para 100m

Nyla Spencer – 3rd Junior Girls 800m

Stella Anderson – 3rd Intermediate Girls Triple Jump

A number of these students also competed at the North Islands Track and Field Championships, where our students gained another eight medals and five North Island records!

Cross Country Season

In Term 2, the cross country season gets underway for a number of our distance running athletes.

The North Harbour Cross Country Championships held at Moire Park was a terrific way for our junior students to wear the Rangitoto singlet for the first time. The course of mixed terrain was very intricate for our 25 athletes who raced brilliantly and proved victorious against a number of schools. We ended up with four individual medals and five team medals, including our Junior Girls claiming all of the top five placings.

Our team then competed at the Auckland Cross Country Championships at St Kentigern College on a tough hilly course claiming two individual medals and two team medals.

We then had Amy Hurly compete at the National Cross Country Champs in Taranaki where she placed a respectful 12th in the Year 9 girls race.

Road Race Season

Before the August lockdown we sent our team to the Auckland Road Race Championhips at Bruce Pulman Park. The conditions were extremely windy but our team managed to claim two individual medals and one team medal.

We now look on to the National Secondary School Championships in Taranaki in mid-December this year.

at Rangitoto College has always been strong. The athletics season this year was no different with a number of outstanding results, as well as being packed full of events across the terms. With a strong contingent of junior and senior athletes, our students excelled across North Harbour, Auckland and New Zealand. The seasons are almost all year round with track and field, cross country, and road races enticing our students to set their targets high.

Without this support our students would not be able to attain the amazing results they do. Also, a massive thanks to our Teacher in Charge, Jenny McLean, who has been provided much needed assistance in operations behind the scenes as well as support for our students.

Badminton

This year, badminton has remained overwhelmingly popular among students across Rangitoto College, with eight teams representing Rangitoto College at the North Harbour Secondary School League for 2021. In the competitive grade, the Rangitoto A Girls team won all their ties to come first place, and the Rangitoto A1 Boys lost in a close tie to come third in their division, along with the Rangitoto A2 Boys coming fourth. In B grade, the Rangitoto B1 Girls took first place along with the B Grade Boys all doing very well in their respective divisions. The students’ sports administrator, SarahJane Beck, has helped them all throughout the year even though some events were evidently cancelled. Some of our players in both the Rangitoto Girls and Boys A teams feature in the New Zealand Junior National Squads: Shaunna Li, Isaac Chan, and Nanna Siegemund. One of our Rangitoto A Girls players, Shaunna Li, had success at the New Zealand National Championships, winning the women’s singles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles titles respectively.

Overall, our Rangitoto College students had a very successful and enjoyable year in badminton, both in and out of school, and we look forward to another great year in 2022 and growing badminton at Rangitoto College.

Basketball

Basketball at Rangitoto made tremendous strides this season, en route to becoming one of Auckland’s premier schools for the sport and solidifying itself as a force to be reckoned with. With a strong representation of the school through 25 teams, multiple titles won at both Harbour and wider-Auckland competitions, and a large showing of Rangitoto students at the representative level (both regional and national) it is fair to say that the season can be considered a great success.

It was clear that the school was due for a successful year on the court due to the amazing turnout at trials. Despite being disrupted by another Covid-19 lockdown, enthusiasm remained strong, and the basketball programme put together 25 teams with 244 players total. The majority of Rangitoto’s teams competed in the Harbour basketball competition, which started in Week 1 of Term 2.

Two of the teams entered in the Harbour competition were our Junior Premier Girls and Boys teams. Coach of the Junior Premier Girls, Mr Buckley, said, “The Girls Junior Premier side had a mixed year in terms of results, but had huge gains in terms of player development and team chemistry”. The girls “displayed a competitive spirit” on the court and this was highlighted by “a big win over Carmel, who went on to place second (losing in the final by one point), and a 15-point win over Long Bay, a team that we had lost to earlier in the season by seven”. He had high praise for his team saying, “The future of Rangitoto Girls Basketball is looking bright with some young talented, committed, and passionate players coming through”. Our Junior Premier Boys team was led by Coach Jemma Palmer. She taught the boys what it meant to be a Premier team and this showed through the teams great discipline and on-court chemistry. The Junior Premier Boys ended up winning the top Junior Boys division at Harbour with a big 53–39 win over Westlake.

However, it was not just Rangitoto’s Premier teams that had success this season. The Under 19 A team took home the crown of their division, winning in nail-biting fashion, 44–40 against Glenfield College. The Harbour Junior Boys second division final saw two Rangitoto teams face of for the title—Junior B Boys against Junior Magenta Boys. Both teams fought hard, but it was Junior Magenta that came out on top.

Overall, it was a very successful year for Rangitoto basketball. Though teams missed out on opportunities to represent the school at tournament level and having their seasons cut short, all players, coaches, managers, and parent helpers can look back and be proud of how their seasons went.

Premier Boys

There was certainly a buzz felt throughout the school about the Premier Boys team heading into the 2021 season. Led by the coaching trio of Kenny Stone, Brad Riley, and Clint Fox, along with a talent-rich team, the Premier Boys were set to make a bold statement.

The team was once again competing in Auckland’s Premier Basketball grade, the top competition in the Auckland region. The season started on the first week of Term 2 in a game against Liston College. With a strong defensive showing and evident team chemistry, the boys beat Liston by 59 points, in a convincing 102–43 victory. Their fantastic form continued into their following games and led to a nine game winning streak before being stopped by Auckland Grammar, with a loss of 54–80, which would go on to be their only one for the season. A strong bounce-back victory against Saint Kentigern put the team back on track and they went on to win their remaining games for the season. They finished with a 13–1 record and placed first overall at the conclusion of pool play, with a great amount of momentum heading into the semi-final.

The stage was set for a great game of basketball. The boys were once again facing off against Saint Kentigern, who they had beaten twice in pool play—a team that was hungry for revenge. At the end of the first quarter, the score was within single digits, with Rangitoto leading 20–11. The team went on to display why they were the top of the table and dominated the remainder of the game, winning in a convincing fashion, 80–58.

Just as the team was about to compete against Westlake Boys High School in the grand final match, the country went into an immediate lockdown due to Covid-19, meaning the game had to be cancelled. As Rangitoto placed first overall, they were crowned the champions of Auckland for 2021.

With the extension of the lockdown period, all winter sport events throughout the country were cancelled, meaning that the team was unable to compete in this year’s nationals. The momentum that was built heading into the tournament season led many to believe that Rangitoto was on its way to winning their third national championship. It was a bitter-sweet end for the Premier Boys team this season. However, with the level of talent on the team and their unmatched performance displayed throughout the year, they have left a big impact in Rangitoto’s basketball program and one that will be remembered going forward.

Premier Girls

After their tough 2020 season that was cut short due to Covid-19, the Premier Girls basketball team headed into this year with redemption as their main goal. The appointment of Justine Reed (head coach of New Zealand’s 3-on-3 Women’s basketball team) was just what the team needed, and her impact was felt straight away with her vast knowledge and experience of the game.

Unfortunately, the team started off with two defeats after tough-fought games against St Mary’s College and Epsom Girl’s Grammar. Round three saw the team travelling to Massey High School where the crowd was witness to a fantastic Rangitoto performance. The girls beat Massey on their own court in a convincing 82–66 victory. The next week the girls dropped a game to Baradene, and then immediately followed that up with a win in a tight contest against Carmel. This pattern continued throughout the season as the girls established their team chemistry. Towards the back end of the season the team played host to Carmel and put on a show for the home crowd. Three-pointers were coming in bunches, and the ball movement was spectacular. This 29-point smashing of Carmel was easily the highlight of the season. The Premier Girls team finished sixth overall in a tough competition.

Amidst the girls’ preparation for upcoming nationals, New Zealand went into lockdown, and the event had to be cancelled, putting an end to the team’s season. Despite competing in a tough Auckland competition and once again having their season cut short, the team should look back on the 2021 season with a sense of pride. The players showed a lot of character on the court and always remained determined to do better. The Premier Girls have built a strong base going forward and will be a team to watch out for in 2022.

Beach Volleyball

Once again, the start of the school year began with a trip to Mount Manganui to compete in the Secondary School Beach Volleyball Nationals. The talent and camaraderie of the beach volleyball players and staff continues to grow, resulting in a group that train hard and compete with a focus on leaving it all on the sand. The skills and sportsmanship of the pairs led to outstanding results and Rangitoto College being acknowledged as a top school in New Zealand. One third of the pairs medalled at the national event, which was outstanding.

Kiana Stevenson and Kaia Buckley won gold and are national champions in the Year 11 Girls division. In the same division, Sienna Rugg and Jenny McMillian were awarded a bronze medal. Ryan Jefferson and Juan Carlos Quintero gained a silver in the Year 11 Boys division. The Senior Boys pairs also had great results with Ethan Skelton and Nico Lietz gaining bronze in the Senior Boys first division, whilst in the second division, Flynn Little and Jermaine Kightley won gold.

To produce such great results reflects the commitment shown from Rangitoto coaches who work tirelessly to ensure the players are fully prepared for the tournament. Thank you, Johann Timmer, Nina Kerr, Adam Watson, and Sam Bell, for continued support, time, good humour, and expertise in beach volleyball. The players are so lucky to be able to access your knowledge and tactical prowess. Alan Kerr and Sharon Redpath always ensure players are ready to compete at the highest level and must be acknowledged for all the time and energy they commit to the beach volleyball players.

The Rangitoto College beach volleyball players are always supported by their whānau and the side-line encouragement is a sight to behold. Thank you to the families who travel and positively reassure all pairs on and off the court. Rangitoto College is very proud of these players not only for their skill and positive approach but as outstanding ambassadors of the college.

Cricket

1st

XI Cricket

Term 4 2020

Following a successful 2019/2020 campaign our 1st XI made their return to the premier grade at the end of 2020 in the Term 4 T20 competition. Taking on the other top seven schools in Auckland our boys made their mark early on in the competition with wins against Rosmini and St Peter’s in their second and third games. At the end of the competition the team finished sixth, a very respectable finish for their first time in the top grade in five years.

Term 1 2021

With several Year 13s leaving at the end of 2020, the 1st XI Boys had a lot of fresh new faces for the new 2021 season. Knowing a lot of work was needed, if such a young team was going to compete with the best schools in Auckland in the 50 over format, the boys got stuck into their preseason almost immediately following the end of the 2020 Term 4 half of the season. Unfortunately, despite all of their hard work and commitment through the season, the team went winless in the 50 over format through Term 1. There were however, a couple of highlights in the midweek T20 competition with a comfortable win against Howick College and a very exciting game against Westlake—which ultimately resulted in a loss by two runs but was proof that the team does have what it takes to compete in the top grade. We were very proud of the consistent work ethic, professionalism and sportsmanship shown by the team throughout the term of cricket.

Boys

We were very excited to have our 2nd XI Boys team back for the 2021 season. This year they were competing in the Senior Morning A Grade. The team had a fantastic Term 1 with some wins, some losses, but most importantly it was great to see a group of boys that didn’t get to play last year out there having a great time every Saturday morning and enjoying their cricket.

Bolstered by a big intake of Year 9s we had two very full Colts (junior) teams this year. Both teams had very similar seasons with some tough results to start the year but both teams also showed clear improvements week to week. By the end of Term 1 the teams were competitive in every game, with the Colts 1 Boys finishing the season with a big win over King’s Colts 2—a great finish to the term. All credit goes to all of the boys in both teams and their coaches for their hard work through the season resulting in such a clear improvement in both teams.

Girls

Our girls programme continues to go from strength to strength every year. In 2021 we had 10 very committed girls keen to play cricket each week on a Wednesday afternoon. Despite a very disrupted season involving a number of cancelled games due to Covid-19 and bad weather, the girls continued to enjoy both trainings and games and showed some incredible team spirit every week out on the field. Their commitment to improvement shone clearly this year as they came away with two wins and a couple of other very close losses. We are looking forward to the next few years of girls cricket at Rangitoto, as if the last few years is any indication, there is a bright future for the team and programme as a whole.

115 SPORTS

Cheerleading

The 2021 Rangitoto Cheerleading team has a diverse range of passionate students, ranging from Year 9 to Year 12.

For one hour per week, the team trains with a professional All Star coach to perfect their competition routine. This year, they competed in two competitions: Eutopia and Olympia—beating their closest rivals and placing first in both.

The team hopes to continue to build on their routine and, fingers crossed, win a few more competitions in the future.

Fencing

The modern sport of fencing is a fast-paced game of strategy and agility, derived from traditional sword play. Technique, tactics, athleticism, and creativity are all elements to an athlete’s success.

2021 has seen another successful year for the Rangitoto Fencing Club. Membership has increased again and training times have expanded to include an extra day each week.

The club’s goals this year were to build a competitive team and to improve the skill base within the club. To this end, several students have stepped up, training in refereeing, coaching, and repairing equipment. This year, led by club captain Evita Land, the club was also able to increase their presence in local intermediate and secondary school competitions, finishing the season with a second in the North Region Secondary Schools Teams Tournament.

Golf

Mountain Biking

Rangitoto College has had a small team of committed off-road cyclists who have entered several events this year. This includes the Auckland Secondary School’s Cross Country Mountain Biking Championships. This regional series of races takes place across the wider Auckland Region with courses in some beautiful and scenic locations. The events are well organised through College Sport, the Auckland Mountain Bike Club, and a handful of dedicated teachers and parents.

Courses are well planned and marked out to suit a variety of skill levels, experiences, and competence. The biggest challenge is often the result of the poor winter weather making the terrain slippery and harder to negotiate.

Two regular riders, students Dylan Hunter and Ollie Jenkins, took on the challenges competing not only against other riders, but also the terrain and elements. Real tests of fitness and bike handling skills.

The college remains not only grateful to all riders for pedalling hard, having a go and competing, but also to the many parents who got up early on Sunday mornings to transport students, and in many cases volunteer their time as marshals. Everyone involved really appreciates these efforts.

2022 will hopefully see an undisrupted season for both road and mountain cyclists with more events and competitions. Cycling brings so many great benefits to health and wellbeing. It is hoped more students will be encouraged to get out, ride, give it a go, and have fun. See you out there.

The Rangitoto College Premier Golf team has consisted of the following squad members in 2021: Amy Im, Mitzi Xie, Wentao Xue, Rebecca Blackwell-Chin and Daniil Vasan. The team participated in the interschool nine hole competition in Term 1 and unfortunately, they missed out on reaching the semi-finals this year. The team also took part in the Auckland Golf Secondary Schools Strokeplay in Terms 2 and 3: 36 holes at Pupuke and Howick Golf Clubs. Amy shot rounds of 71 and 74 to finish second place in a very strong girls field—an outstanding effort! Well done to all those involved this year. The squad is looking forward to building an even stronger team for next year as their golf continues to improve.

Football

Football has continued to be an outstanding sport on the Rangitoto College sport scene in 2021. Girls football has continued to go from strength to strength and we have seen an ongoing increase in numbers from 2020 to this year, with growth to four teams which were all very competitive in the Auckland competitions. Boys football has continued to excel, with eight teams across different ages and abilities.

It was a great developmental year from our junior space with 12 strong teams across Boys and Girls which shared tremendous culture.

With the ongoing challenges all other sport codes are facing in 2021, we are very proud of all our football teams in 2021 and their various achievements both as individual players and a team.

A special thank you must go to all the coaches, players, managers, parents, and supporters who have been with our teams every step of the way this year. Without your help, the sport would not be able to function as it does and we look forward to continuing to work together in 2022 and beyond.

1st XI Boys

Build-up of the season showed that our 1st XI Boys team has an amazing capacity to play fantastic games, with great entertainment and fun-towatch football. As expected, results did not resemble the style of play and the quality that the team was looking to produce a consistent level.

Though, the level of trust was at the highest peak between our young players, Craig and myself. The start of the season was really positive; win and a draw, with the win in the knockout cup. Then, we had one big loss, which proved that our biggest enemy was—and is—ourselves.

We already showed that we play great, attacking football, where we created lots of chances and scored lots of goals.

However, our players and the team as a whole showed great resilience, grit, and willingness to do our best, so the team won eight out of 13 games, which is an awesome accomplishment. So, the First XI Boys team finished the season third in the Senior A1 league.

Which itself is a great accomplishment from every player involved throughout the season. And as a coach, I cannot be prouder of the achievement, attitude, and great behaviour from every single one of them.

Zoran Ivanovic (Coach), Mr Jay Smith (Manager)

1st XI Girls

The 1st X1 Girls achieved third place in the Auckland championship, a great result they can all be proud of.

Extremely well led by inspirational captain Suzy Jung, the girls had great team spirit and were a pleasure to coach.

With a great start to the season the wins kept coming as the girls led the competition with eight wins from eight!

Who could forget the fantastic win at home 4-0 against Westlake, with great parent and school support the girls showed the calibre and quality of the Rangitoto team. Also, the come-from-behind last-minute winner against Mount Albert.

Unfortunately, the last three games proved tough with injuries and illness contributing, and we succumbed to Epsom and Baradene who finished one and two.

Our Rangitoto girls showed we were probably the most technical in the league and our passing game was second to no other team. The National Premier tournament was cancelled unfortunately, as we know the girls would be in with a chance.

2nd XI

The 2nd XI Boys enjoyed a successful season captained by Adam Chichester

The team trained alongside the first XI which allowed development for some players to receive the call up to play for the 1st XI. Congratulations to Adam, Jaden, Alex and Kees who all received a call up over the season.

Comfortably winning our grading with wins over Albany Senior 5-1, Orewa 2-0, and Kingsway 4-1, the team qualified for Senior B championship where results were mixed, coming out with a two win, two loss, two draw season.

Congratulations to all players and thanks to the parents for their support.

Rangi Red Boys

Our 2021 was born of frustration and confusion but ended up being one of my favourites in my many years of coaching. We were plagued by pullouts and team changes at the start of the season, but I was very happy with the outcome, as we were able to mould a successful team out of this disparate group. We lost our opening four matches of the season but ended up narrowly missing out on the title. This says a lot about the character and growth mentality of my players this year. I hope they maintain this attitude and continue to develop and play in 2022.

14A

After a tough few results against strong opposition at the start of the season, the boys fought back to secure some good results. With a focus on movement and solid passing we were able to show our strengths and put teams under pressure. All the boys put in 100% effort and showed a really bright footballing future.

14B

The season started of brightly with lots of familiar faces from last year and a few new ones which was great to see. In the first few games results didn’t go our way but with the core of the team committed to training

Girls Football

Rangitoto Red

This season has been short but exciting. Despite the spread of different experiences, the girls played well, giving it their best and working hard as a team every game. There was a lot of development during games and trainings, along with lots of laughter and fun. It was a great season!

and playing with a smile that soon changed with a strong end to the season guiding us to a mid-table finish. Overall, it was a pleasure to work with such a great group of lads and we look forward to seeing everyone again next year.

13A

Brad Freeman, and Jono Horgan (Coaches)

The Year 13A boys have played some quality football this season and shown incredible character. A highlight was a well-fought 0-0 draw against one of the top teams, Saint Kentigern, which saw us overtake Kings on the table. I am honoured to have coached these talented players and wish them all the best for future years at Rangitoto.

13B

The season started off on a real high scoring 25 goals in our first two matches. From there, the team had some tough matches where our skills were tested, finishing sixth in the league. The focus this season was to improve our possession game and play consistently throughout a whole match. The team achieved our goals as huge improvements were made over the season. A contributing factor to the team’s success was our culture. The boys remained positive throughout the season, and all became friends which united us as a team. Highlight of the season was in our final game beating Westlake.

13C

We began our season as the Year 13C team with very little experience, leading to some unfortunate results. However, through the strength of character shown by the boys, they were able to develop as a team unit and as individuals, becoming promising young footballers for the future of Rangitoto College.

We are looking forward to seeing players continue to represent the college next year and look forward to another successful season.

Junior Prem Girls

The 2021 season was full of twists and turns for the Junior Premier Girls team. We experienced the highs with crushing victories over Saint Cuthbert’s, and lows in a frustrating penalty shootout loss to St Kentigern; resilience was tested to the limit, but the team rose to the challenge.

Every player demonstrated a willingness to learn and develop their skills at every training session, with determination and grit evident in every competitive game. As coaches, we are incredibly proud of every member of the team and their passion for the sport.

Rangitoto Blue

The first few games and training sessions were mainly learning points to gather information about our players and for the team to get comfortable amongst their peers. Overall, the team fought strong throughout the season getting some great victories. By the end of the season, the team was at its strongest and our most proud achievement was seeing the improvements in each game over time. We enjoyed coaching the girls this year and look forward to witnessing them develop their skills further in the future.

Hockey

Rangitoto hockey experienced a very eventful year to say the least. With teams placing first overall in their Harbour seasons, podium finishes at regional competitions, goal-heavy games throughout, and seasons abruptly ended by the Covid-19 outbreak, 2021 was a year like no other for our teams.

The season was set to begin with the annual hockey trials for a large group of eager players in week 3 of the first Term. With everything in place, Covid-19 decided to strike the country again, putting Auckland into a level three lockdown. This delayed trials further into the term, stretching them over three to four weeks. From the trials, eight teams in total were formed; consisting of five girls’ teams and three boys’ teams—a fantastic turnout that went on to form a strong representation of the school within the hockey community.

Hockey at Rangitoto was finally underway in Term 2. Exciting preseason matchups for the teams allowed players to find their form, work on their team chemistry, and solidify a team culture. With the great work from coaches, managers, and helpful parents, teams were able to build momentum heading into the season.

This built momentum by our teams was evident, with strong starts across the board. One of them coming from the 2nd XI Girls team, who started the season off with a narrow 2-1 victory over Massey yet continued to improve every week. The team went on to win their next four games, only to be stopped by Wentworth in a 2-1 loss. This defeat would be their first and only, finishing with a five win, one loss record, placing the team first overall heading into the final against Westlake Girls. As the season was cut short due to the recent Covid-19 outbreak, the final was unable to be played, meaning the Rangitoto 2nd XI Girls placed first overall in the G2A grade.

Another successful team was the 2nd XI Boys, who achieved first place overall in their grade, beating teams convincingly, including a 6-0 smashing of Whangaparaoa in round 6. The 3rd XI Girls powered through their season highlighted by a four game win streak. Due to an unfortunate cancellation of the final, the girls finished second on the podium.

Despite the various disruptions and distractions, including cancellation of winter tournament week for our 1st XI Girls and 1st XI Boys, teams can look back on the 2021 season with pride knowing they have represented Rangitoto in proud fashion.

1st XI Girls

Headed by reputable coaches Regan Bain and Rachel McCann, and managed by Teacher in Charge of Hockey Rachel Jackson, the 1st XI Girls were a force to be reckoned with. Starting the season with a podium placing in the Harbour hockey competition was proof of this.

In 2021, the team competed in Super City Premier grade, the top grade for secondary school hockey in the Auckland region. The competition started off with a thrilling 1-1 draw against Diocesan, in what was a described by manager Rachel as an absolutely “brilliant game of hockey”. The team would then fall to Saint Kentigern, before bouncing back with a giant 4-1 victory over Kristin, and 3-1 win over Baradene in the weeks following. The recent Covid-19 outbreak meant an end to the season with a round to play, where the girls were competing for fifth and sixth placings. In a tough fought grade, the team placed fifth overall—an admirable effort to say the least.

1st XI Boys

The 1st XI Boys started their season mid-way through Term 2, competing in the Super City A1 grade. Eyes were certainly opened when our boys took to the turf, winning their first game of the season in a 5-4 victory over Pukekohe—equal for the highest scoring game across all teams in the grade.

A draw, a loss, and a win followed the strong season opener. Return to hockey in Term 3 started with a convincing 3-1 victory over Macleans—clearly coaches Nick and Dylan, and manager Michael, had the team putting in work over the holidays. Like fellow Rangitoto hockey teams, the 1st XI Boys had their season cut short due to the recent Covid-19 outbreak and finished fifth overall in their grade.

Coaches Nick and Dylan are optimistic for the team’s future, especially considering there were four talented Year 9 boys playing their first year of 1st XI hockey.

Indoor Volleyball

2021 has been the most successful season of volleyball in the college’s 65-year history. The undoubted highlight was the winning of the New Zealand Secondary Schools National Senior Title for the first time. Rangitoto beat Trident College 3-1 in the final. This was the last match of an amazing season for the boys team in which they played won 36 matches and lost only once. Along the way they also won the Harbour League, Harbour Seeding Tournament, Auckland Premier League, and Auckland Championships titles. Special thanks to our highly talented coaches who are both exstudents, Johann Timmer and Sam Bell. The team was also excellently managed by long time servant of the sport, Mr Josh Bullen. On the strength of these performances captain Ethan Skelton and Nico Lietz were selected in the open men’s National Volleyball League (NVL) teams, while Ethan was also Most Valuable Player (MPV) at the New Zealand Nationals.

The Premier Girls team also had an amazing season captained by Year 11 student Kaia Buckley. When they won Auckland Championships they became the first Rangitoto girls team to do so. They beat Orewa College in a five set thriller in the final. Kiana Stevenson was named MVP. At the New Zealand Nationals they claimed bronze and again accounted for Orewa 3-1 in the medal play off match with Honoka Maeda named in the tournament

team. The team was excellently coached by exstudent Nina Kerr and efficiently managed by Ms Jamie Sowter.

As part of the New Zealand Nationals for the first time Auckland also hosted a satellite tournament. Our development team won the event beating Manurewa B in the final. Thanks again goes to ex-students Josh Paterson and Matty Bell for their skilled coaching, while experienced manager Mr Graham Lowe guided the boys expertly.

Our junior teams also excelled. Both teams won Harbour competitions, while the boys claimed silver at the Auckland Championships. The girls team expertly, coached by Adam Watson, won the Auckland Championships and gained silver at the North Island Championships. Rangitoto currently holds three of the four major Auckland trophies.

Excellence and success does not happen by chance. A big thanks to Patrick Gale, Don Hastie, Trevor Meiklejohn, and Natalie Moe for their amazing support and the many people who put their hands up in so many ways to ensure Rangitoto’s Volleyball culture is second to none.

Onward and upward for 2022.

Netball

We had big plans for netball this year, with a pre-season programme in full swing before trials and umpire sessions in the works. Then we hit lockdown again mid-February and for a span of a few weeks we moved in and out of level 3 until March 7th. This made conducting trials difficult to do but the amazing netball team pulled through.

What an amazing season we managed to have from that point, Rangitoto College is lucky to have such talented and dedicated players that turn up each week to give it their all. A special mention must go to the Premier team, their coaches Ripeka Pirie and Jamie Sowter, and their manager Nataleigh Moe. This team had come together to create a culture of the likes I had not seen during my time as Teacher in Charge of netball. They support each other and those new to the team throughout the season and leave everything on the court. Their success, finishing undefeated in the championship round of Premier Grade, is a testament to their hard work and dedication. Watch this space 2021.

We had an increase in teams this season with a total of 26 teams spanning across our Open College through to Year 9. With this comes a lot of volunteers who graciously give up their time week in and week out to help get our players out on court, from coaches to managers to umpires to scorekeepers. We appreciate and thank you all.

Big and special THANK YOU to Miss Collard, our dedicated Teacher in Charge of netball. Miss Collard’s passion and dedication for Rangitoto netball does not go unnoticed. Miss Collard spends hours down at the courts, consistently supporting our teams and helping in whatever capacity was needed from organising gear, umpires, players, stepping in to coach when coaches are sick. A true superstar!

As we farewell our Year 13s who have contributed to Rangitoto netball either by playing, umpiring and/or coaching over their five years at the college, thank you for your positive contribution to our programme and we wish you all the best. Stay in the game and stay in touch.

This goes with a special acknowledgement to Lydia Moe.

Lydia has been the starting goal attack for our Premier team since Year 9 and has been a big part of the college’s netball success over her college career. Lydia captained the Premier team successfully this year (and last) and has shown true leadership, resilience and courage while proudly wearing the red dress. We will miss watching the trademark Lydia “swoosh” as that ball seamlessly falls through the net from any range in the goal circle.

Umpires

Netball cannot be played without umpires to officiate on the side-line. Come rain or shine our umpires are always the first on court. We are extremely lucky to have you give up your precious time officiating every Saturday morning and Monday evening. This year has been an extremely successful year for our Rangitoto umpires. Many of them have taken their next steps in their umpiring careers and been promoted through the qualifications. This is due to their own hard work and perseverance. Congratulations to all of you that have progressed this year and thank you for always being willing to fill in last minute gaps when needed.

Premier Team

We had a new head coach this season, Ripeka Pirie, who gave our team a promising outlook into how the season would play out.

We had a soaring start to the season winning the first round with only one loss, exciting the team for round two and UNISS. By the end of round two we were unbeaten and set to be in the final against Carmel College who we’d beaten twice before. However, Covid-19 had other plans. NZ went into a snap lockdown on the 17th of August cancelling our final and ultimately causing the cancellation of UNISS, the second year in a row. In saying this there were many positives that came out of this year; due to lockdowns our team met continually over zoom, doing quizzes, workouts, dance lessons and more which brought our team closer than ever before. Lastly, we just want to say what an honour it has been putting on the red dress. The lessons we have received from being a part of the Rangitoto netball community are invaluable.

We cannot thank Rangitoto netball enough.

Orienteering

This year was an outstanding year for orienteering. The main event for the year was the annual Auckland Zone Sprint Series, where we had over 20 students competing. The series consisted of four events across the North Shore schools. It was great to have a large contingent of new students competing in these competitions as they got to learn from some of the more experienced orienteers and also grow the skills over the series.

Rangitoto students received plenty of placings across many of the individual events. However, overall Katie Huang finished third overall in the Year 9 Girls. Other top-10 finishers included Samuel Yang (6th Year 12/13 Boys), Lucas Hebberd (10th Year 12/13 Boys), Chris Hewitt (7th in Year 10-11 Boys), Sebastian Camus (8th in Year 10-11 Boys), Taine Hewetson (9th in Year 10-11 Boys), Ashton MacDonald (4th in Year 9 Boys), Jasmine Liu (6th in Year 9 Girls), and Emmy Hurcum (7th in Year 9 Girls).

We also had a team of orienteers competing at the Auckland Rogaine Championships and the Auckland Individual Championships.

The Auckland Rogaine Championships held at Totara Park was a success as we managed three top five finishes. Sebastian Camus and Chris Hewitt placed fifth in the Intermediate Boys Team. Zhan Bowden and Alex Chatterton placed fifth in the Junior Boys Team. Our best team of the day was Jasmine Liu and Katie Huang as they managed fourth place in the Junior Girls team.

At the Auckland Individual Championships it was a tough day out in the forest. We finished the day with two top-10 finishes, with Anthony Yang placing ninth in the Intermediate Boys Standard and Zeppelin Puch placing seventh in the Junior Boys Standard.

Petanque

On a beautiful sunny day, 54 students gathered at the Herne Bay Petanque club for the annual school’s tournament hosted by the Auckland Petanque Association. Covid-19 played havoc with the tournament last year, so it was great to have the students able to compete this year.

It was evident by the competition that some students had been practicing but as Auckland Petanque goes to great lengths to point out, this is a fun tournament for the students. Even if students had never thrown a petanque boule previously, they very quickly picked up the basics of the game. All games were assisted by experienced petanque, who thoroughly enjoyed guiding the teams.

The winner of this year’s tournament was Rangitoto College 4 (Jamie Lee, Jack Choi and Max Ji). The runners-up were Belmont Intermediate 3 (Oscar Beech, Seif Ali, Will Westgate). Third place were Rangitoto College 1 (Kevin Yao, Ben De Wet, Andrew Zong). And Belmont Intermediate 3 were also the top junior team.

New Zealand Team Racing Championships

The nationals were held in the second week of the April school holidays. Thirty-two college teams from around New Zealand competed. Rangitoto sailed superbly as a team working strategically together to dominate from the start of day one to the end of day six.

So far ahead was Rangitoto that they won with a whole day to spare winning 37 races out of 40, including the last 22 races in a row to claim the national title convincingly. The win makes Rangitoto back-to-back National Champions wining in 2019 (2020 Covid-19) and 2021.

The team skippers were Caleb Armit, Seb Menzies, and Lucy Leith (the only female skipper out of all the top teams) and crews were Joe Leith, Josh Ferrissey, Kayla Abbott, Naiomi Ferrissey, and Alex Hebberd. The equally split male and female Rangitoto team is something the school can be very proud of when sailing and winning against the all-male other college teams. Rangitoto has been selected to represent New Zealand against Australia in the Inter Dominion championship.

North of the Bridge Regatta

The team won this regatta at Algies Bay for the third year in a row, clinching the win by beating the formidable Westlake Boys team in the grand final race, and to take the title, and qualify in gold fleet for Nationals. The team skippers were Caleb Armit, Seb Menzies, and Lucy Leith. The crews were Joe Leith, Josh Ferrissey, Kayla Abbott, Naiomi Ferrissey and Jess Redpath.

Harken Keelboat Nationals

Rangitoto had never competed at the Keelboat nationals before and entered two teams. There was much to learn for dinghy racing sailors. Lucy Leith, Kayla Abbott, Josh Ferrissey, Naiomi Ferrissey and Jess Redpath were the first female skippered team at the nationals and third overall in Silver Fleet. Caleb Armit, Seb Menzies, Luke Tilsley, Alex Hebberd and Joe Leith finished a creditable fifth overall in Gold Fleet.

The 2021 snow season has had a mixed-bag of outcomes. The beginning of the season was extremely positive, with students competing in the Auckland Secondary Schools Snowboarding and Skiing Championships at Snowplanet in late June.

Sawooly Li won gold in her senior girls slopestyle performance with a clean run through the jumps and rails, resulting in a sixth place for the girls snowboard team in slopestyle. Katrina Pai also put in a fantastic performance in slopestyle, and was unlucky to not land some of her tricks, with a brilliant performance nonetheless.

At the Auckland Ski Championsips, an awesome crew of Year 9 through to Year 13 students represented the school across a range of disciplines—giant slalom race, dual slalom race, and slopestyle. The boys ski team finished with an impressive fifth place overall—just edging out Saint Kentigern. Excellent performances from Jack Woodhead (Year 11) ninth place in giant slalom, Alexander Kidd (Year 12) 17th place in giant slalom, Samuel Bailey (Year 12) seventh place in slopestyle. A big well done to Eliza Coventry for competing in her first secondary schools ski competition as a Year 9.

Post Auckland Secondary Schools, all events later in the season including North Island Championships were unfortunately put on hold and ultimately cancelled due to Covid-19 for the second year in a row. Hopefully everyone got their money’s worth out of their season passes!

Rugby

With a new grading system introduced by North Harbour Rugby, we were keen to get out on the grass, more so, after Covid-19 disrupted the 2020 season. We had an increase in teams this year, with a dedicated and passionate cohort of coaches and managers who were all set to put in the hard yards and support our players in the best interests of our sport. It was a somewhat challenging start to the season and, where we saw frequent draw changes, we had to adapt to approach and come together more so as a community.

This season exemplified the values of the college where we saw players showing integrity, courage, resilience, pride and excellence on and off the field.

2nd XV

After the disruption to last year’s competitions due to Covid-19, the response from prospective players for selection this year was overwhelming, and everyone was fully committed to training and playing. We were fortunate to secure the amazing skills of two experienced coaches, Nick Mulvaney and Craig Hewetson. After 11 rounds of the competition, we were set to play Orewa College in the final. Unfortunately, this game was cancelled because of the lockdown. Special mention must go to Kieran Munro whose leadership skills as captain helped develop and lead the team to second in the league.

Youth 16

1st XV

The 2021 1st XV Rugby team was admirably led by the captain Scott Godfrey, who was supported by vice captains Danny Barnet and Tyler Whinney, as well as Luke Tilsley. They led on and off the field by using the team principles from the school crest: strong as our Maunga, grow and change like our Moana and be brave like our Manu. The results were not what the team wanted. However, a strong character and brotherhood grew along with an amazing community and school spirit surrounding the team to witness courageous young men never giving up until the final whistle. Thank you to all who contributed to the jersey in 2021.

The 2021 season started off a little bumpy for the team with a last-minute assembly and no pre-season preparation. However, the team came together quickly and showed a lot of heart throughout the season. With many first-time players in the team and some key players not in their normal positions some adaption was needed. With many close games and a never give up attitude the boys gave their all on the field consistently. Special mention to all our new first-time players, Brooke, Max, Mason, Mahir, Gary and Thyrhys. And our Long Bay boys Ethan and Ethan. We hope you continue in the next season!

15

The Youth 15 team with varying rugby experience came together as a team quickly and enthusiastically under the coaching of dedicated parents Brent Bibbie and Jim Hammond.

The team had a great team culture and played with skill and determination. They had a very successful season, although they found themselves with mixed results finishing mid on the table, they were extremely competitive with most games coming down to the wire with only a try in it. Our closest losses were against the Rosmini teams who were top of the table. A highlight of the season was a huge win against Takapuna Grammar where all the training came together. The future of Rangitoto Rugby is bright with these boys coming through.

Youth 14

The Under 14 Rugby team had a very successful season in terms of development and culture. Whilst results were difficult in the beginning, we ended up winning a lot of games in the second half of the season. The bunch of boys were positive, enthusiastic and a fun group to be involved with. There were some magnificent phases of play where we aimed to have front foot ball and attack from all aspects of the field. This meant that everyone was involved and played and have an important role. It was a pleasure to watch patterns and skills develop as the boys applied themselves positively. Thanks to a great group of parents, an organised manager, Jo Webster, and Mr Wheeler and Mr Lowe for coaching.

Premier Girls

The Premier Girls Rugby team has had a stellar season with incredible results and strong sportsmanship. This year the team’s focus was on working hard even when no one was watching. The girls trained three times a week and played games all over the wider Auckland region. Their dedication paid off, with many successful games, including two incredible performances against Birkenhead College. A highlight was the girls making it to the finals at North Harbour Stadium against Westlake Girls High School. The players put on a great game and came out as the runner ups in the North Harbour Secondary Schools Girls Championship.

Softball

At the sports expo at the start of Term 1, students signed up for trials for a boys and girls softball team to play in the Auckland one day tournament on Monday 15th March.

Once again, we made up a strong boys and girls team to enter the Division 1 competition.

The girls team, for their first game saw a convincing win against Howick A, winning 14-0 and then beating Botany Downs Blue, 6-1. Then, up against the strong Westlake team, they lost 12-0.

In the crossover finals, they played Mt Albert but only lost 2-1. The playoff for third and fourth place saw them play Westlake again but this time only losing 2-0.

Overall, the girls finished an impressive fourth place!

On the day, the boys team played Rosehill losing 1-0, then Mt Albert 2, losing 6-0. Despite the losses, the boys played some good softball and missed out on several runs with a few tough umpire calls.

They won the next two games in the crossover finals, beating One Tree Hill 4-3 then Alfriston 10-3.

Overall, they finished seventh out of nine teams.

It was a pleasure coaching both teams at the after school practices leading up to the tournament. A big thank you to Hannah Crew and Samantha Winter for coaching the girls team and Tyrone Crewe and myself coaching the boys team.

Squash

The Rangitoto squash teams completed this season with not many cups but with plenty of praise and accolades nevertheless. It was very pleasing to have had two boys teams representing us each week. These stars of the court performed admirably and with great fortitude. Sometimes we lacked experience but displayed plenty of expertise and heart. The matches were always completed with pride and, most importantly, a smile. We have been very fortunate to have the true “King of the Court,” Ross Jowsey, inspiring and leading us every week. Unfortunately, he will be moving to his next challenge and we bid him a special thanks and farewell for his future, as he embarks upon a squash scholarship alongside his chosen university course. Congratulations in every way!

The Boys Premier team played in the New Zealand Schools National Tournament in Tauranga in August. After three days of intense play, they returned with a commendable score-line of two wins and three losses which put them high up in the national ranking.

Meanwhile the Girls A team also played many great games of squash. They were pipped to a final appearance, merely on points difference, but were very proud of their third position in the Auckland league.

The Rangitoto squash teams always welcome players, boys and girls, of all ages and experience levels to join us for fun and competitive matches. We hope to be able to challenge in the various leagues and championships in 2022.

A big vote of congratulations to every player in all of the teams who have displayed commitment, enthusiasm, energy and reliability throughout the season. We have done ourselves proud as individuals, as a team and as a school. Finally, the biggest of all thanks go to the amazing support of the parents of the boys teams for organising, coaching, encouraging and chauffeuring the teams around throughout the season.

Swimming

After an extremely disruptive 2020 for our swimmers with multiple meets being cancelled and much time out of the pool, we hoped 2021 was going to be a more successful sporting year for everyone.

The first College Sport meet for the 2021 year (North Harbour Zone Day) was once again disrupted due to a snap lockdown. This was short and sharp, thank goodness, and rescheduled to allow our swimmers to get in the pool and race. Rangitoto quickly positioned itself as a dominating force amongst the other Northern Region schools by securing top selection spots in many of the individual and relay races at this zone day which was a qualifier into the next round.

Next on the College Sport calendar was the All Zone competition in April which was held at Diocesan. This resulted in six gold, four silver and one bronze in the individual events followed up by an impressive six golds, one silver and one bronze in the relays. Our swimmers then got back on the blocks for the College Sport Champions of Champions meet, not more than 10 days later, to secure another two gold, six silver and one bronze in the individual events with another four gold and one bronze in the relays.

The final College Sport event of the year, Individual Champs, produced once again another stellar performance by our swimmers who clearly saved the best till last with 16 gold, eight silver and four bronze medal finishers.

Outside of college swimming some of our athletes competed in national and regional meets throughout the year, many which had been cancelled in 2020 due to Covid-19. New Zealand Opens in March was the first of the national meets on the competition calendar with our Age Group swimmers using this meet as a practice run in the lead up to the National Age group Championships scheduled in the April school holidays.

Fast forward to the first week of the April school holidays where 14 of our swimmers took to the water at the New Zealand National Age Group Champs in Wellington. This meet is the pinnacle event in an Age Group swimmer’s journey and they did not disappoint. In total our athletes returned home after five days of racing with an impressive 17 New Zealand National Individual Age Group titles.

The swimming year was not over yet with the next big event in sight, New Zealand Secondary School Championships. 2020 was a big act to follow going into this year’s meet as defending champions of this competition, but defend they did. This group of exceptional athletes once again secured the 2021 New Zealand Top Co-Ed School for the second year in a row.

This 31 strong swim team dominated from the get go by nailing multiple relay podium finishes on day one of the meet setting the scene for a big few days ahead. Rangitoto meant business and with 206 individual swims during the meet and 30 relays resulting in total points of 1607, well ahead of second place Mt Albert Grammar on 677, there was never any doubt that this dream team were going to come away as New Zealand Secondary School Champions again.

Not only did the school secure the Top Co-Ed School trophy but we also secured the Girls Relay trophy which was last year won by Diocesan School for Girls.

In summary Rangitoto College came away with:

Individual medals 13 Gold
Champions) 13 Silver 8 Bronze Relay medals 4 Gold 4 Silver 6 Bronze

Table Tennis

T his is the third year running our social table tennis programme and our numbers have grown to over 70 students. Albert Cheng, our coach who attends every Wednesday, is the Development Manager at North Shore Table Tennis Association and a New Zealand National Junior Coach. He runs two programmes at the ActivZone Indoor Sports Arena in Glenfield, as well as our social table tennis programme here at the college, every Wednesday after school until 4:30pm in Gym 1. Albert has been amazing at coaching and encouraging the students to try their hand at competitive table tennis, he is a true asset to the programme. The college was able to buy two new tables to replace two of our well-played on tables this year.

In Term 2 we entered seven teams, with a total of 23 students, our players thoroughly enjoyed this competition. Our B grade teams did exceptionally well, placing as follows; Boys B first, B3 second and B1 third and our boys B2 placed first in their respective pools.

In Term 3 we entered eight teams, with a total of 26 students. This programme continues to grow and the student participation numbers too. Many social students are gaining confidence to compete, while others enjoy the social aspect twice a week with their friends.

Tennis

2021 saw the second time for our Rangitoto girls to compete in the Auckland Tennis Senior A2 grade. After a year of working together, the girls enhanced their sense of belonging to a united group and also formed a spirit of fighting harder to represent their school. Despite having a shortage of players from time to time, and a distance to travel, the girls managed to overcome all these barriers by supporting and respecting each other, and also enjoying working together as a team. They ultimately achieved an outstanding result—the team was placed second among the eight teams in this grade.

This

team consisted the following members: Muhan Cui, Jessica Bergin, Alex Baker, Stacie Choe, Jaelynn Kim, Michelle Kim, and Amanda Jackson (reserve). The photos were taken by Veronica Jiang, team manager, at their last competition in March. From left to the right: Jaelynn, Alex, Muhan, Jess, Stacie and Michelle. We also entered the Champion of Champions Tennis Tournament in March, we had seven students representing the college, unfortunately they did not make it to the final round, but they enjoyed the competition overall.

Thank you Gavin Hill for running our social tennis programme, to all the volunteer parents who manage the teams and to Kate Fenton our Teacher in Charge.

Weightlifting

Rangitoto weightlifting has had an excellent year so far despite the recent interruption with Covid-19.

They had six new lifters join; with four competing in their first Secondary School Auckland Championships.

The team had solid results at the Auckland Secondary School Championships with many personal bests achieved. The sport is developing with the benefits crossing over into other sports.

Water Polo

Water

polo is one of Rangitoto College’s most consistently highperforming sports. The students are extremely passionate and dedicated to the programme. They have an amazing support team of tight-knit parents, managers, and coaches who play a major part in the success of the sport at our school.

The Premier Boys team, coached by Iosefa Tuiasau, had a phenomenal season this year. The season started with the boys playing in the Auckland League. The team played week in, week out during Term 1 with the hopes of securing the gold. The boys deservedly won a spot in the final where they beat Sacred Heart in penalties. This was an unreal achievement for the team as it was the first time we had won the title in 13 years and gave the team high hopes for the North Islands and Nationals.

At the North Islands in Wellington, the boys topped the group stages and continued this success throughout the knockout stages. The team beat Westlake Boys in the semi-final which set them up with a final against Hamilton Boys. Our Rangitoto team fought hard throughout the game, managing a draw. This sent the game to penalties which we lost and therefore placed second in North Islands.

The Nationals this year was held in Auckland. Once again our boys started strongly to finish top of the pool and progressed phenomenally throughout the knockout stages. We played Sacred Heart in the semi-final where the team produced a performance of the season to gain a spot in the final versus Hamilton Boys again. The team came away with the silver medal again topping off a terrific season. First in Auckland, second in North Islands and second at Nationals for our Premier Boys Water Polo.

The team would like to farewell the Year 13 students Lucas Dearlove, Daniel Warman and Taze Noom-Duckworth for their contribution to Rangitoto water polo over the last five years.

134 Panorama 2021 Rangitoto College Yearbook

The Premier Girls team, coached by Caity Lopes, performed amazingly well this year. The team had a number of new players this year with the additions of Darcy Spark, Pipi Quinlan and Keira Conboy. The girls started off the year incredibly well as they were battling with Diocesan for the top spot of the Auckland League. Unfortunately they lost a nail biting final in the Auckland league and finished second.

The North Island Tournaments and National tournaments were exceptional for our Premier Girls as they continuously fought to improve their performances and better their chance for the gold medal. The team had top performances across all of the games and managed to make the final in both the North Island and the Nationals. They came up against Diocesan in the final of both tournaments where the team managed to win silver. The team got second in Auckland, second in North Island and second at Nationals.

No members of the team this year were Year 13 so it’s likely next year will be a similar team as the girls plan to come back with vengeance to claim the national title.

This year we also had a Girls Senior B team. The team was coached by our ex-premier water polo students Rachel Dean and Chevaunne Roffe. The girls had an incredible season in which they were continuously improving. The team ended up third in the North West Senior B girls competition which was an outstanding effort as they beat Takapuna Grammar in the third/fourth playoff.

The Junior Water Polo season took place in Term 4 of 2020. Our three junior teams trained throughout Terms 2, 3, and 4 to ensure the continuous development of all players. There was a few breaks of training and competition time due to Covid-19 lockdowns. In the Auckland League games, the Rangitoto Junior A Boys had a positive season with a lot of Year 9s in the team. The boys ended up sixth in the Auckland League.

The Junior A Girls performed exceptionally as they finished third in the Auckland League. Our junior mixed team managed to place sixth in the Auckland Junior Boys C grade which was great as it allowed newer students to give water polo a go. The 2020 year was finished off for the junior teams at the North Island Championship where the A Boys and Girls performed very well as the Junior Boys finished fifth and the Junior Girls placed fifth also.

This year the junior water polo teams consisted of a Junior A Boys team coached by Jake Lockwood, Junior A Girls team coached by Chelsea Geary, and also a Junior Mixed team coached by Ella Roberts and Kama Morton.

Evening 2020 The Māori & Pasifika Success Evening is the highlight of our whānau calendar and in 2020 we needed this more than ever. The auditorium was transformed into a celebration of Aotearoa and the Pacific, as we honoured the many and varied talents of our students. Emceed by Year 13 leavers Xavier Williams and Paini Afu, the event was also proudly led by students who read citations and congratulated their peers as we awarded certificates, medals, and trophies for excellence and pride in: academic success, school values, te reo Māori, kapa haka, sports, arts, culture, and leadership. Instead of a guest speaker, we were inspired by reflective student speeches and then brought to tears by an emotional haka send off for our very special Year 13s. Head Girl Centaine Noom-Duckworth was the most-deserved recipient of our Supreme Korowai Award for her outstanding cultural leadership, excellence in both academic and sporting pursuits, and her kind and inspiring commitment to our whānau. The food, served in individual containers this year, was again a feast of hot hangi and dessert; while the music, cultural dances and performances were a true tribute to the resilience and talent of our rangatahi. Amongst all the usual fun, cheering and pride, the sense of aroha and whanaungatanga was perhaps extra special this year.

Particular thanks go to the following people: Christine Parkinson (Head of the English Department) for judging the Creative Writing competition.

Katie Poynter (Head of the Art Department) for judging the Painting competition.

Paul Stevens (Assistant Head of the Art Department) for judging the Photography competition.

Our sincere thanks also go to Rangitoto College’s student photographers, led by Andrea Te Maari, who have dedicated their time to take photographs at events throughout the year. Many of their photographs have been used in this yearbook. Anastasija Ludajic
