Welcome to New Staff
Board of Trustees 2016 has flown by and the Board of Trustees have been busy behind the scenes and preparing for an exciting 2017. 2017 will see the introduction of the Community of Learning (CoL). This is an exciting opportunity to bring all our local schools together to work collaboratively to improve the achievements of all the students in our community. We have been working on the achievement challenges and bringing in to them aspects that are unique to our community. The possibilities are fantastic for our students and we are excited to see this implemented. The other big change for Darfield is our new classroom build that will begin some time in the next few months. We have already had some delays to the schedule as we work through the process with the Ministry, and we hope to have the building started by the end of the year. We start with four new classrooms on the field by H Block and, once these are completed, some jiggling of classes will see some students move in to the new classrooms, when we move the prefabs that are E Block, and then a new block will be built where the prefabs are. The final stage is the upgrade of the permanent part of E Block. At the last Board meeting, it was estimated to take between 12 and 18 months to complete all stages. BYOD begins in 2017 for all Years 7–9 students; our recent parent information
evening had low attendance, showing that the school community is getting used to the idea. We have been digital to some extent over the last four years, so this change has been coming. As a Board, we have worked hard to ensure we are ready—as ready as we can be in the changing world of technology. We have tested our policy, improved our infrastructure, investigated safety concerns, and implemented the findings. The end result is we are good to go. The biggest challenge is always the balance between students using their devices in and out of the classroom. We can turn off the wifi in break times but, with devices now supported with data bundles, we can do only so much. The Board hopes that parents will support our efforts to ensure BYOD is used as intended, ie “the right tool at the right time”, the “right time” being in class time when appropriate and, if we strive to encourage our students to take a break from technology at break times, that they will do that. As 2016 draws to a close, I marvel at the achievements of our students at all year levels and pause to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our senior students who are now in the midst of exams. This group of students have been fantastic role models for our school and our students, and we wish them every success as they prepare for the challenges that lie ahead. Sue Robinson, Chair

Barbara Ellena I was born in Darfield and my parents moved us away shortly after, so it seems right, after all these years, to be teaching here. My husband and I have bought a house in Rolleston. We have two daughters that are both working in Christchurch. I have been teaching Mathematics at Roncalli College in Timaru for the last ten years and, before that, at Mackenzie College in Fairlie. It will be good to be teaching in a Years 7 to 13 rural school again. I arrived just in time for the Tabloid Sports—a lot of fun! I enjoy watching most sports, especially basketball. The trip will be a lot shorter to attend Canterbury Rams games and to jump on a plane to get to some of the NZ Breakers games in Auckland.
Christine Hamilton Having been raised and educated in a rural community, I am delighted to be working at Darfield High School. I am passionate about digital technologies in New Zealand and believe students need opportunities to develop knowledge and skills so they are able to respond to the many changes in our society. I strongly believe education is vital to the success of our young students and aim to motivate students to find their strengths and abilities. I believe I have an important role to provide a positive learning environment that satisfies the individual needs of all students. I look forward to getting to know you and your children.

Principal’s Comments Communication The annual school magazine is a souvenir of a year. For students and staff it becomes a record of some of the many people and events that shaped the year. The magazine is also an historical document: when somebody updates the school history in the years ahead they will find it a key source of information on what and when things happened. Thank you to the contributors but, in particular, the team of support staff who have put it all together this year—Sheryl, Elaine, Bob and Jane. This is our first newsletter for six weeks following our decision to cancel our last newsletter. We made this decision to enable the team that put the annual school magazine together to have the time they needed to do this big job. This year, we had shorter timelines with the magazine and wanted to make sure this was completed to enable students to take it on their last day. This may have meant that you received a larger number of emails than usual from the school. During the recent quake and weather (snow) emergencies, the school website became overloaded and so was not able to be updated or checked easily. The company that hosts the website has been looking at solutions to enable it to be easily accessed at all times. Although we were able to send out communications via email and text, the school website is the first place most people check for updates and so it is important it can be quickly accessed.
invited to attend these events. A number of processes need to take place in order to put on each Prize Giving. These include determining places in subject classes, interviewing for scholarships, contacting prize donors, engraving trophies, rehearsing for musical items and setting up the venue. Thank you to all of those involved in enabling us to celebrate some of the many student successes for 2016. This year at Senior Prize Giving, we will be presenting over $60,000 of tertiary scholarships, as well as, recognising over $50,000 of scholarships presented to our students by the Universities. This year one of the goals of the PTSA has been to provide opportunities for parents to learn from experts some ways to support and keep safe their adolescent children. In the last six months, this has included supporting presentations by David Reilly (reading), Brainwave Trust (brain development), John Parsons (online safety), and Mike King (mental health). The PTSA committee needs your support to keep these initiatives happening. They would be keen to have some new people involved on the committee to keep their positive momentum rolling on. Contact Nikki at nikkidarrenking@xtra.co.nz.
Events Following a weather postponement, the Tabloids took place on the last school day for the seniors this year. The weather was perfect and the event provided a good way for the whole school to get together to round off the House competitions for the year. Thank you to Mr Adams and his team of helpers for organising the event. Prize Giving time is fast approaching for both seniors and juniors. Parents are warmly

Celebrating Ten Years of Friendship In October every year, Darfield High School hosts a group of students from Kagoshima Junshin Girls’ High School. The students and accompanying teachers visit Darfield for approximately ten days, and stay with local host families. Their programme includes spending time at school in classes with local students, as well as going on outings to places such as Akaroa, Christchurch, and Rubicon Valley Farm. A particular highlight is always the excellent informative cultural performances they give to Darfield High School students. This year we learnt about ninjas, pop fashion, Japanese primary schools, and funny animated characters.
to the relationship continuing to grow and develop in the coming years, and thank all of our host families and the local community who help us to host this wonderful group.
This year marks an important milestone in the relationship as it is the tenth year Kagoshima Junshin Girls’ High School has visited Darfield. In commemoration, a Japanese cherry tree has been planted outside the Darfield High School international office. We look forward
Why I Love Being at School in New Zealand: Akane Yamakawa This is my first challenge. I’ve never been to any other country. So this is my first time overseas. Everything is like a new world. I love star gazing! The reason why I came New Zealand is to see the beautiful stars. My father taught me about star gazing when I was a child. This is my treasure, memories with him. Lake Tekapo has the most beautiful stars in the world. I went there on a school trip for International students. My dream came true. I could not see the dark starry sky because it was close to the full moon. But I enjoyed the beautiful moon and stars. I love nature in New Zealand. I feel like I'm standing on top of the Earth when I spend

time in New Zealand. The sky that has spread near to the horizon gives me that impression. We can see the wonderful starry sky every clear night and also falling stars. The stars, the moon and the sun shine very brightly compared to Japan. I am really surprised at that! I can see a lot of sheep, deer and cow on the way to the school bus stop. I like animals so I greet them every day! They are my friends. I’m happy to be here! My day in New Zealand is really exciting and I have so much fun. School life is also awesome. I am enjoying my New Zealand life!

Year 7 Social Studies: Sustainable Wearable Arts This term, the Year 7 classes were mixed into three different classes for Social Studies, based on 'Caring for Our Environment'. We got to choose from Sustainable Wearable Arts, I’ve Got Worms—Worm Farms, and Pest Control. In Sustainable Wearable Arts, we are making an outfit for one person to wear and at the end of making it we will be doing a miniature fashion show. To start off we learned about reduce, reuse, recycle and sustainability, then made an accessory for school eg, pencil holders. We got put into groups and then started planning all our ideas for our clothing we want to design. It must include the idea of reduce, reuse and recycle. Just recently, we went to Creative Junk to get things for our costumes. For half of the day the teachers split us into two groups and half of the class did the newspaper challenge with a little catwalk at the end to show off our newspaper creation. We have now started to create our designs. We are looking forward to sharing them with the rest of the Year 7s at the end of the year. Kate Curle
Rugby
I have been playing rugby since I was in an Under 6 team, so that's eight years. And over the years, I have not been hurt, so girls really can play rugby. Yes—you will come back with some bruises. I'm happy to come back with bruises because that shows you have tried your hardest and you haven't let anyone down. I have enjoyed playing over the years but getting the opportunity to play in a all-girls side was awesome because I have always played with boys. Most of the girls drop out at the start of a tackle but all girls can play. To be honest, girls are better at my age because we use our brains and our eyes.
The team I play for is the Forward Foundation and they are an organisation that help girls that play sports that are 'more boys' sports. They get the girls from schools in Canterbury that can't get a school team and they bring them all together to make a team. This year the Forward Foundation team got second overall; we lost to Girls High. I also was lucky enough to get nominated and accepted to play for the Canterbury Secondary Schools Development Team and I'm looking to playing in a woman's team next season. I encourage girls to play rugby as rugby is way better than netball or any other sport. Paige Hunter

Hororata Highland Games Year 8 students were excited to have Kirsten Hellier (NZ javelin thrower and also coached Valerie Adams), Pat Hellier (Highland Games Champion), and Harry Millar visit the school, spending time with them and coaching them on competitive activities held at the Highland Games. Five Darfield teams were entered and had a fun and eventful time and were pretty happy to win prizes. Below, students share their day:
We started with the Farmers Walk, versing three other teams from Darfield High. Reuben ran the fastest out of our team, but one of the teams beat our score by a couple of seconds. Then we moved on to the Stone Put, which we came out one of the top throwers. After that, we had the Caber Toss. We had to throw the tallest and heaviest caber and Joseph got the furthest. We finished everything at ten o’clock and got a free ice-cream voucher. There was a bit of a wait till 12.30 for prizegiving, so we went off and got our free ice-cream. Delicious double chocolate for us all.
We then split up and did our own things. There was Scottish dancing to watch and the famous Olympic athlete, Jack O’Gill, competing in the heavyweight games. We came back at 12.30 for the awards and we came sixth place out of seventeen teams. Everyone won free T-shirts saying “We make more noise than bagpipes!”
Darfield High School entered five teams this year into the Highland Games. The week before the Highland Games, we had a practice at lunchtime and one of the people that took us was last year's Highland Games winner for the shot put and Kbar toss. We learned how to throw the shotput properly and how to keep our arms straight in the Farmers Walk.We also learned how to do the Caber Toss. I did it last year, so I found it helped this year.
At the prize giving all the Darfield High teams came in the top 10. The Year 8 team came second and my team with Jonty Kupe, Oliver Blackburn, and Hamish Thornely came in first. We won $50 each for Deep South Icecream and $1500 for the school. There was also medals for individual placings. I got 3rd, Jeremy Bourhill came 2nd, and Jonty Kupe came 1st overall. The teams had so much fun doing the event and I hope more teams come next year.
At the games we all met with Miss Hobson. We waited for our teams to be called out then we had to start with the Farmers Walk. Our team did really well and we all enjoyed doing it. Next was the shot put and my whole team gave their best shot at it. Last was the Caber Toss—it was very close at this stage between us and the Year 8 team for First. After the Caber Toss we were finished and waiting for the judges decisions.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Highland Games and encourage others to give it a go next year. Carwyn Chaffey and Joseph Collier (Year 8 Junior Warriors Team)

The Lions Christchurch School's Music Festival On Thursday 27 October, six students from the high school along with six from the primary school, travelled in to Horncastle Arena to take part in a massed choir of roughly 1000 students from lots of other schools around Christchurch. Having spent lots of Monday lunchtimes in Mrs Galletly's Homeroom practicing the ten songs we had to learn for the performance, all the hard work paid off at the two rehearsals we had before the night of the actual concert. The two rehearsals were lots of help because the conductors taught us how to transition up to the high notes in 'Bare Necessities' and how to pronounce all the maori words in 'Tihore Mai'. Overall, the choir was a great experience— where else do you get the opportunity to sing with a full orchestra!? Huge thanks go to Mrs Galletly—we couldn't have done it without your help and enthusiasm. Niamh Guy The Years 7 and 8 choir was a non-compulsory group for students who wanted to sing some songs. The group met for practises every Monday when Mrs Galletly taught us the songs that we had to sing for the Christchurch Lions Music Festival. We had lots of songs by various musician relating to the theme, All Creatures Great and Small. My personal favourite was the final song, The Circle of Life, by Elton John. Some others were, Windy Nights, The Bare Necessities, ‘You’ll Be In My Heart’, and ‘Octopus’s Garden’. On the day of the Festival, we went to the Horncastle Arena and had a full run-through
Year 13 Biology Trip of the massed choirs songs. Once we had finished, we drove back to Darfield and went home. Later that evening we were back at the arena. The night included performances from the concert band, senior choir, junior choir, and of course, the massed choir, which, for some of the songs, was accompanied by a full orchestra. It was great to see all of our hard work pay off for such an appreciative audience.
The Year 13 Biology class spent an afternoon at Orana Park as part of their Human Evolution topic. While there, they were able to see skulls of primates and extinct humans, as well as some living examples of primates such as the gorillas, gibbons and lemurs.
On behalf of the choir, I would like to sincerely thank Mrs Galletly for all of her hard work and patience. Oscar Gosling, Year 7

More Awards for Tī Kōuka Designs Being a part of the Young Enterprise Scheme this year as Tī Kōuka Designs we have had a very successful year. From attending the first E-day we both knew that we wanted to do this and create a product that people in the Selwyn community could use. After many different ideas on what we should be making which was sustainable and innovative we created fire starters made from cabbage tree leaved and used tea bags. We competed in the Regional Dragon’s Den Competition in Christchurch which was successful and we won the Excellence Award for Marketing, this gave us the boost we need and we continued to dig deep and began the production stages as well as have a product launch where notary Selwyn council members join us in celebrating our new product. After a hard year of producing the product and maintain the business we
aimed to take out the Regional Sustainability Award, we successfully did this by winning the Excellence Award for sustainability in the Canterbury region. Overall, the whole experience has given both of us a new look on how to run a business and how to keep everything up to date as well as the experience has be incredible for the both of us. We both would like to thank Mrs Hoy as she has helped us with everything she could and we would not have been able to do it without her, all of the teachers who were behind us and helped us throughout the year and finally the Young Enterprise Scheme for giving us the opportunity for being a part of this year’s competition.

PE and Outdoor Ed News
The Year 12 PE Class (above) headed to McLean's Island where, as part of their Physical Education Risk Management unit, they had to do a risk management ride and then a race around the Corringa Track for 2.4 credits.
During September, the Year 12 Outdoor Ed class headed up to Murchison to learn canoeing skills. The good weather on the first day allowed them to get used to the canoe paddling them, however, the next day brought heavy rain and the river flooded,
causing many to capsize and they had fun chasing after canoes and oars. The last day was spent on Lake Rotoroa (above) just cruising around and enjoying the scenery.
It's that time of the year again when senior students finish classes and are on study leave while attending their NCEA exams. Even with the 7.8 earthquake earlier this week, and tiredness all round, all students showed up the next morning prepared to take part in their Economics exam. Well done and all the best for good marks.

Visit from our New Caledonian Friends! We have just recently received a group of 16 students and three teachers from our sister school in New Caledonia. Our sister school is called College de Ouégoa. It is a small public school in the far north province of New Caledonia, a French speaking island in the Pacific. They have 130 students from Years 7 to 10. In 2013, Darfield High School and College de Ouegoa started working together and developed an exchange programme for junior students. This programme is set up so that schools take turn visiting each other’s on alternate years. We hope that this will develop better understanding of other cultures and build long term friendships between students of both schools. During their stay in Darfield, our New Caledonian visitors were warmly welcomed by their buddies’ families and experienced the Kiwi way of life: they attended school with their buddies, visited the Canterbury Museum and the Antarctic Centre, visited a sheep farm, went on a jet boat ride, climb rocks at Castle Hill…they even got to play in the snow, a
12
very memorable experience as most of these students had never touched snow! All in all, a very intense five days here at Darfield. They are now back home and looking forward for their Kiwi friends visiting them in November next year! The New Caledonian exchange gives an opportunity to Years 9 and 10 students studying French at DHS to immerse themselves in the French language and to discover a new culture. New Caledonia is a close neighbour to New Zealand but it is a French territory and a very interesting mix of Kanake and French culture. The New Caledonian exchange aims to not only develop language skills but also raise awareness of the relevance of the French language in the Pacific. Mme Juhel will be recruiting for the New Caledonian exchange in Term 1 next year so, if you are keen to take part in the trip planned for November 2017, keep an eye on the notices or contact Mme Juhel at mj@darfield.school.nz

The event was held on Saturday 10 September at the Ara Institute of Canterbury. I had to stay with my project during judging to talk to many different people about my project. I won the Hands on at Otago prize. This included a Canon camera and a scholarship to the Hands on at Otago Course in January. Overall, it was a great learning experience, I had a lot of fun, and I can’t wait to enter again next year. Natasha Young (below)
Sophie Townsend has been selected to represent New Zealand at the above competition in Mexico in January. This is the first time in many years NZ has qualified for this event. Back in April, she attended the qualifying round in Masterton and has had to wait until all other participating countries held their events for results to be released. All competitors in every country were set the same course, with the same jumps with heights of 1.20–1.30 m. Sophie has been riding since she was five and is really pleased with her pony, Tallyho Neptune and both are having a great season, currently leading the mini prix series. She is looking forward to the opportunity to ride for New Zealand and her ultimate goal is to one day ride in the Olympic Cup. Sophie will be accompanied by her mother, Maria, and will be hosted in Guadalajara, Mexico, for a week at the end of January. We wish her all the best!
Chalk It Up!
We now have a new large chalkboard on the outer wall of the library facing the Quad. This is for positive messages and events to be shared with the school by the seniors.
Congratulations Congratulations to Ex Student, Bobby Lee Ross, who has won a US Rugby scholarship.

Lady I want to tell you a story of an old lady, Her face as round as a rink. her weak little chin is just a hump, Sharp pointy nose looks just like a ski jump. Her hair done up in tight pink pigtails, her ears flapping around like a loose sail. With two great big saucers for eyes, one look at her face everyone cries. short stubby fingers just looking to claw, on fat arms as wide as the floor. Her dark cave of a mouth just ready to call, in the middle of a head like a football. Her eyeshadow smeared over her eyes, justLike a disguise. Frilly light blue clothes, on a chubby ball of snow. Purple hat on my head, For all the fortunes that I’ve read. Annabelle Serra

Year 8s Discuss the Trump/Clinton Election Teams of four from 8KH chose topics from the Election and give their point of view: "Make America grate again" "I will be a cheerleader for America" Interviewer: Good evening and welcome to Sky News, today we are going to discuss to the USA Presidential Election. So we welcome here Hillary, Trump and Melania. are going to look at some of Donald’s statements he has made. The ones we want to look at are: "Make America grate again" and "I will be a cheerleader for America". We chose these topics because we want to take them in consideration and see what you mean by them, and if you will follow them up. So Trump; how are you going to make America grate again? Trump: There are too many people buying cheese already grated from a packet in America’s food stores. This is a disgrace and has to be stopped. So that’s why I say make America grate again. It will be grate. I will be selling cheese graters, grater than great, to all Americans but not the Mexicans, because I
Prosecute Hillary Clinton for her use of a private e-mail server while serving as secretary of state. Build a wall along the southern border that's taller than the arenas where Trump holds his rallies, taller than any ladder and one foot taller than the Great Wall of China. This 'artistically beautiful' wall will be constructed out of hardened concrete, rebar and steel, and it will be "the greatest wall that you've ever seen"—so great that the nation will likely one day name it "The Trump Wall." Make Mexico pay for the wall. If Mexico refuses, then the United States will impound all remittance payments taken from the wages of illegal immigrants, cut foreign aid, institute tariffs, cancel visas for Mexican business leaders and diplomats, and increase fees for visas, border-crossing cards and port use. (Funny)

hate them. But that's not all; you all get a $12 cheese grater, yes, a $12 cheese grater, and every Mexican is paying for it! We gotta stop those taco lovers from stealing all our cheese graters, and leaving us with already grated cheese!
Melania: Thank you Heather, I believe in Trump and everything he does. He is a role model, and will make America grate again. There are also many values Trump wants to teach kids of America today; respect, believing that you can, and voting for Trump.
Interviewer: Well that’s great isn’t it? Now Trump, how confident do you feel about winning this election?
Interviewer: Thank you for your time. Now it is time for Hillary to express her thoughts on Donald Trump.
Trump: I am very confident in winning this election, I mean look at me.
Hillary: He is stupid, dumb and should be prosecuted, who do you think you are Trump? Why are there so many Americans voting for him? All I am going to say is… you are going to be doing so much work for him with your cheese graters.
Interviewer: Is there anything you are going to do to make America feel like they should vote for you? Trump: I will be a cheerleader for America. I will get my pom-poms, and cheer skirt and cheer for America. I will make sure those Mexicans will be jealous of me, my cheerleading squad, and my cheese graters.
Interviewer: Well thank you both Hillary, Trump, and Melania. That’s all we have time for tonight guys. Tomorrow we will cover the subject of who people are going to vote for. Thank you for watching and goodnight.
Interviewer: Wow thank you Trump, now onto Melania.
Will as Randy: Hello and welcome to the third debate of the 2647. My name is Randy Rainbow and, today we have our two candidates here, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Firstly today, we’ll begin talking about Donald Trump's election promises. Okay Donald Trump what are your election promises. Jack as Trump: My first promise is to build a wall between the USA and Mexico and make Mexico pay for the wall and my second promise is to prosecute Hillary Clinton once I win the election. She is definitely doing something illegal on her private email servers. Angelo as Hillary Clinton: Well I may have done horrific things in the past, but I certainly do not deserve to be prosecuted. And where does he get this “building a wall between Mexico and America?” I think he's lost his mind. If he builds a wall between Mexico and America, where will he gets his tacos—
taco bell? More importantly, what type of reputation will Donald Trump be putting on America? If he builds a wall, then America will no longer be “The country of freedom". It will be “The country with an idiot running it!” If he becomes president. Trump: Okay so let me continue before I was rudely interrupted by this woman, I am going to build the wall with solid stone and brick and make it the biggest wall everyone's ever seen, even China is going to be jealous. Secondly, people are probably thinking how are you going to prosecute Hillary Clinton, I’ll get the FBI to investigate her and punish her for all of the illegal things she has done in her life. Hopefully she will even go to prison. Clinton: Do you see what he is trying to do to me? Ignoring me? So rude. And he is going to do this to all of you. Now think to yourselves. Do you want a leader who does not listen? Or a leader who listens and takes your ideas into consideration? Make the right choice!

Malvern Responsible Winning Campers Business Award 2016 Silver Award for Darfield High School Recently, we were awarded this because of our efforts towards sustainability in the school. We have a good recycling culture embedded in the school and are making a conscious effort to reduce energy use, recently completing an upgrade of control systems for the radiator heating system. A change to LED lighting is also in process, as these lights draw only about 4% of the energy of incandescent bulbs.

Year 8 teachers have just given out vouchers for the top male and female camper on each camp. They were the students who showed a strong sense of community, were inclusive and gave everything a go. Camp one was Jake Searle and Izzy Kennedy and Camp 2 was Mitchell Calcott and Maia Adams. Well done!

Under 15 Rugby: Tournament Report
Squad members:
After weeks of preparation and anticipation, on Sunday 28 August, the Darfield HS under-15 Rugby team headed down to Dunedin for the annual South Island Secondary Schools Tournament week. With 24 keen players, the team was hoping to build on the good results it has had it at this tournament in recent years. After a long trip, the team arrived in Dunedin around 4 pm in time for a short training run at the Pirates Rugby Club, before matches started at Tairei Rugby Club in Mosgiel the next morning.
resulting in a close loss, before a strong performance against Wakatipu High School, resulting in a 14–7 win. Day 3 started with a semi-final win over Dunstan High School 33–12, which led to the Darfield team making the Section 2 Final where they would play Waimea High School from Nelson. This again proved to be a very tight match, with the two late tries blowing the score out 19–0. While it would have been nice to win, overall it was an excellent experience for the boys and a very enjoyable trip to be part of.
Luke Beadle Ged Roessink William Carter Callum Murdoch Logan Seaward George Ridgen Dylan Bamford Sam King Lachie Summerfield Harrison de Rooy Ryan Hughes Harrison Buck Aidan Thistoll
Day 1 of the tournament saw some really great spring weather and the Darfield team play Mt Aspiring College, where they came back and won 24–12, after being down early. This match was followed by a nailbiting loss to Gore High School 22–19. Day 2 saw matches against Verdon High School,
Finally, amongst the many highlights, the naming of Ged Roessink from Darfield High School in the tournament team was a very fine achievement, given the quality of the some 500 odd players involved in this event.

I think that this is honestly one of the best trips I've been on for the school. It was just an awesome time playing rugby three days in a row, even though by the end everyone was tired; but no-one gave up and the boys gave it everything, which was really good to see—just solid commitment. A highlight for me was all the boys getting to know each other a bit more and, when someone wasn't too sure what to do, another boy would help him out. Another highlight was at the games and the holiday park the boys were really friendly with people from the other schools. I think this trip was an awesome experience all round and I recommend it to anyone who is able to go; it's a good chance to play some hard and fair rugby but also have a good time with your mates and get to meet new people. I'd also like to say a big thanks to Mr Bell, Mr Mac and Cameron Seaward for helping us all out and making sure we were all ok. Mitchell Longdin

2017 Year 8 School Based HPV Vaccination Programme Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common viral infection which can lead to cervical cancer, genital warts and other types of cancers later in life. Early HPV immunisation offers the best protection against contracting these diseases. Starting 2017, both girls and boys in Year 8 will be offered free HPV Vaccination through the school based programme. A new updated version of the vaccine (Gardasil 9) will cover more strains of the virus, providing cover with 2 doses rather than 3 with Gardasil 4. The vaccination will continue to be available within the GP Practices, however, we encourage you to participate in the school based programme. Girls and boys who have partially started the process with their GP will have the option to complete the course through the school based programme. To enable students to receive the vaccination at school, parents will need to complete the consent form which will be sent home with the student along with supporting information during the first weeks of term one. Please check with your child or the school to ensure you receive the consent form and information pack. For more information about the vaccine, contact Public Health Nursing Service at 03 383 6877 Ext. 99469 or 99698, talk to your doctor, practice nurse or visit www.health.govt.nz/hpv.
