Another year rolls by! And what a special one it has been, with such an emphasis on our centennial. We certainly made the most of it. When you read the newsletter I hope you too feel impressed with the way the girls made it “our year”. It has been enormously busy and I need to acknowledge every one of our staff, our families, our Board of Trustees, our Old Girls and Old Boys and previous staff as well as our girls who contributed to the centennial celebrations all year long with such passion and energy.

Alongside this with the 2011 introduction of quarterly adjustments in governmental funding further reducing our regular Operations Grant funding, this has also reduced further some of the flexibility we have had around staffing our school as well as we would like to and be responsive each year.

This upcoming break with time set aside for family and friends is one which is very much deserved. It is a time to give back that very thing - “time” - which has often been the aspect we’ve neglected or asked huge indulgence from our loved ones, while we gave so much to our school.

On behalf of our school community we are sad to be farewelling all of these staff and wish them well in their future directions and thank them immensely for their contributions overall. We know we have been blessed to have such fine people supporting our girls and their futures.

This time is also always tinged with sadness, as we farewell some of our treasures – our teachers and support staff. These dedicated people give far more than anyone could ever ask of them. The following staff have resigned and are leaving at the end of the year: Mary Raleigh (English, going to Hillcrest High), Sarah Martin (Mathematics, going back to university studies), Masa Ogino (on leave 2011, now confirmed as a lecturer in Japanese at University of Canterbury), Jennifer Roughton and Rebecca Maher (both on leave in 2011 and continuing teaching overseas). A resignation just received is that of our Guidance Counsellor, Betsy Smith, who is looking to move into other counselling opportunities.

Finally, to all our girls and their parents and extended family members thank you so much for all your ongoing support. We wish you alI a well deserved, safe and wonderful Christmas break together.

As well Helen Pang (Mathematics), and Jane Healy (Social Sciences) are going on leave without pay for 2012, and Megan Maguire is going on maternity leave for Terms 1 and 2.

Teaching staff employed under these understandings and who leave at the end of 2011 are: Talesa Cameron (Science), Cathy O’Shea (Social Sciences), Cindy Cadman-Satake (Science), Nicole Arnell (English), Leonie Bramley (English), Adrienne Reti (Technology), Kerry Hunter (Technology), and Nobuko Watanabe (Japanese). Some support staff are affected also and we are still working through these decisions as a Board.

At Sonninghill Hostel we are losing Gretta Johnstone, our Director of Boarding, after eight wonderful years leading this “jewel in our crown”. Initially Gretta is taking some time out to re-evaluate which directions she will follow now. Connected closely to this decision, Liz Witehira our Support Services Manager is leaving HGHS, but will be very much still part of us as she has been appointed as our new Director of Boarding at Sonninghill Hostel, as of 2012. Another very significant group we are going to farewell this year are teaching and support staff who are on fixed term contracts. These contracts may be because permanent staff are e.g. on a year’s leave without pay, and the staff concerned are now returning as of 2012. As well some of these positions were ones which the Board of Trustees chose to use short term funding to support more, or smaller, classes with this extra staffing. Funds used to do this included some of that contributed from Foreign Fee Paying (FFP) students’ fees and parent/caregiver donations. Unfortunately we anticipate in 2012 we are not going to have the funding to continue these extra positions. One reason is that there has been a downturn throughout NZ with regards to numbers in FFP students because of the fears about NZ being an earthquake prone country, and so this has affected us too.

Arts What a fantastic year it has been for Art at Hamilton Girls’ High School with many of the girls producing some stunning work. It was fitting that in the School’s Centennial year the Senior Art Exhibition was held in the staffroom and surrounding mezzanine of the Atrium building. While the exhibition was open for only an hour and a half over 300 people attended and were impressed with the visual feast they were presented with. The work highlighted individual and collective responses to the curriculum in the fields of Visual Art Design, Photography, Printmaking and Painting. It was an excellent opportunity for students to experience the thrill of exhibiting publicly and engaging in conversations about their work with friends, staff and family. Some of the work was very provocative and generated questions about the appropriateness of the subject matter. Once again Art challenges the accepted norms and pushes the social boundaries. This year the Level 1 programme piloted a new programme that explored the theme ‘Ko wai au?’: Who am I? - Who have I the potential to be? Students were encouraged to explore and work from personal imagery. Most worked with childhood and present associations with people and places of significance. Each class was exposed to the stylistic conventions of varying artists and produced some dynamic and diverse work of their own. The Art department wishes to thank the students, parents and administration for their ongoing support of the Visual Arts programme. We wish all the girls a safe and enjoyable well earned break and look forward to 2012 with renewed optimism.

English Year 11 : Creative Writing The tyres glided effortlessly along the slick tarseal road. Windscreen wipers swooped across the glass, enthusiastically racing each other to clear the pane of relentless rain. But in their haste they left a glistening triangle which was always just out of reach. The barren countryside always seemed more deserted on days like these; days when the sky clouded over. Days when a drab grey settled on everything. Days when a light fog swirled through the trees and obscured what lay over the horizon. Days when the earth flooded with moisture. It was days like these that made the journey back home drag on for what felt like an eternity. A shiver ripped through my body. With a groan, I leaned over and turned the heater up but the warmth that flowed from the car vents did little to thaw the chill that had iced my bones. I stole a quick glance at the stereo clock and sighed inwardly. Mum was going to kill me. I’d only just managed to convince her to let me go to the movies with the promise that I’d be back by midnight, no later. That left me 5 minutes to make 20km. It was never going to happen. I started to plan my explanation. I would tell her that I’d left my wallet at Jess’s house and had to turn back to get it. I just hoped she would buy it as I leant over and started rummaging around my bag in search of my phone. My hand closed around the familiar rectangle of glass and metal, pulling it free of the material prison in which it was contained as I began to flick through numerous contacts until I came across the one number I was dreading to ring; my mother. My thumb wavered over the button with the little green phone as I imagine the reaction my call would receive. I could already hear the disappointment in her tone. See her leaning against the doorframe, the receiver wedged between her cheek and shoulder, as she wearily rubbed her eyes of sleep and worry. I hit dial before I could talk myself out of it. The dial tone filled my ear as I secretly hoped she was too deep in slumber to hear the phone’s obnoxious ringtone – my ‘lovely’ younger brother had gotten hold of the phone and changed it so whenever someone rang, we were blessed by the majestic sound of jingle bells being farted

by chipmunks. I made a mental note to change it as soon as I got home. I tore my gaze away from the road to turn the volume down of the stereo. My attention diverted from the sea of black tarmac for just a few seconds. But that was all it took. I looked up in time to see a dark figure in the middle of the road. Its eyes glowed gold as it stood transfixed by the bright light of the head lamps as I hurtled toward it. My phone dropped from my hand, forgotten, and tumbled to the ground where it landed with a clatter. My grip on the steering wheel tightened, turning my knuckles white as the brakes screeched in protest, desperately trying to create the friction needed to slow my descent. It was too little, too late. The impact of the car meeting its unwanted target came with a sickening thud. I sat still, gasping for air. The steering wheel still clasped in a vice-like grip in my now clammy hands as I stared blankly out of the windscreen. “Oh, God”. I whispered to no one in particular. “Oh God, what the hell was that?” With trembling hands I reached down, fumbling around the foot well, as I tried to find my phone for the second time that night. I quickly raised the mobile to the side of my head only to have my ear assaulted. “What’s going on Tessa? Are you okay? I heard you scream and then –“ “Mum, I... I think I hit something”, I stammered. “What do you mean, ‘you think you hit something?’ You either did or you didn’t.” Mum demanded. “I think... I mean, I ran something over. I think it was someone’s dog. Oh God! What if I killed it?” I babbled hysterically. “Tess, sweetheart, just calm down,” she soothed. Her voice now full of motherly affection. “Calm down, I’ll come and get you. Just stay where-“ “I’ll call you back,” I said, cutting her off for the second time that night as I hung up. I was going to find out what I’d hit. I needed to know. It had all seemed so easy in my head. Unbuckle my seat belt, open the door, walk to the front of the car and look down. But all I could think was that I could drive on. The only people who knew what had happened were Mum and I. Nobody would find out. There would be no need to ring the owners. Anybody could have run it over. I could drive on and nobody Page 3

would know that it was me. The thought was so tempting. I lowered my foot to the ground and was greeted by the crunch of a few loose bits of gravel. The other foot followed just as shakily as I hoisted the rest of my body through the car door. I had to stop myself from charging right back into the driver’s seat. It had taken too long for me to pluck up the courage to make it this far without ruining it all. I wobbled to the dented bonnet, clutching the side of the car for support in case my legs collapsed from under me. The crumpled body filled my vision, causing my stomach to turn and bile to rise in my throat. What had once been a gorgeous black Labrador was now reduced to a pathetic lump of its former self. A tear trickled from the corner of my eye. This had been someone’s pet. A member of their family. What if they had children? They would be crushed. And it was all my fault. Kneeling down beside the dog, I reached my hand out toward it, fingers trembling as I stoked the bristly fur around its neck. Memories of Cadbury swarmed before my eyes. He too had met his untimely end on a backwoods road. Caught off guard while on one of his nightly prowls, and left to die alone in the middle of nowhere. The glint of light reflecting off metal caught my attention. Curious, I leaned over to have a closer look while wiping my tears away from my cheeks. It was a name tag, stating that the dog’s name was Oscar. A phone number was engraved underneath. In that moment I knew exactly what I was going to do. I pulled my phone from my jeans pocket and dialled the number from the tag with fierce determination. I wasn’t going to leave Oscar where he lay like the coward who killed my dog. He deserved better than that. Written by: Alesha Roulston 11ENG

Physical Education Year 13 Triathlon and Multisport event On Friday 28 October the level 3 sport and outdoors classes had to get up early to head to Lake Karapiro to participate in our big multisport event that we had been training for, over the past 6 weeks. They went head to head against each other in their triathlon and multisport events. The triathlon event comprised of a 750m Page 4

swim, 25km bike and 5km run, all based around the beautiful lake and mountain setting. The multi-sporters paddled 4km on the lake, completed a 15km off road ride and followed it up with a 5km run. Well done girls on your hard work and fantastic finishing times.

11APS - AEROBICS Both 11APS classes performed their routines on Thursday 27 October, in the Large Gym at lunch time. A big thank you to those of you who came along to support the girls and watch their amazing performances. The calibre of talent this year was high, not only was there some outstanding costumes but also original moves. This was part of Achievement Standard 1.5 where the students were put into groups and had to design their own routine and perform it. Well done to all the groups.

12APS This term has seen the Year 12 students using their leadership and coaching skills with our Year 9 students. As part of 2.7 “The leader of the pack” they had to complete six coaching sessions with younger students. The girls did exceptionally well planning fun and informative sessions for the younger girls. Also big congratulations to the girls for their efforts in the “Rock and Roll” unit. The students choreographed and performed some fantastic rock and roll sequences, the quality of their assessment pieces was an example of the enthusiasm and hard work they put into this unit. All the best for your exams.

11APO Trolley Building Another fantastic trolley race again this year. The trolleys were all built in teams and then raced down our HGHS trolley track. There were some great designs which made for very fast races!! Well done girls and good luck for your exams.

Social Sciences Level 1 Geography

Year 10

Students had a Raglan fieldtrip recently looking at the development of the area. Many local business people, councillors and town officials were exceedingly obliging, giving their viewpoints about their ideas for the future of Raglan. Students spent the day wandering through beautiful Raglan, getting a feel for the seaside town in order to make a statement about what should happen to Raglan in the future.

Year 10 Social Studies completed an Achievement Standard. The standards required the girls to investigate the social action of World Vision. This gave the girls an opportunity to see what others around the world do to help the global community and gain social justice and human rights for those without them.

A great deal of thanks must go to all those who gave up their time to speak to the girls

This has flowed onto their actions in real life with one Year 10 student Katherine Rose being involved in collecting signatures in opposition to the local rodeo. She is very concerned about animal rights and she felt this action was needed to try and get the council to agree to not hold the rodeo in Claudelands show buildings.

Tourism Level 2 and 3

Year 10 Social Studies Pesky Pets Economic initiatives to utilize our pesky problems? Year 10s are coming up with amazing ideas to save our native trees and use all parts of these cute but destructive pesky problems. Think umbrellas, ipod covers, musical instruments, teddy bears, underwear, belly button warmers, bone carvings.. and the list goes on.

Tourism offered at Level 2 and 3 gives the students an opportunity to gain industry credits and helps them towards tertiary qualifications. There are many fieldtrips throughout the year to significant tourist destinations in the North Island. • Woodlyn Park • Waitomo caves • Rotorua Students have a wonderful time experiencing what tourists to New Zealand find interesting about our country.

And from here.. solving the litter problem at HGHS and then .. who knows... the entrepreneurial TV programme Dragons’ Den New Zealand?? Picture left: Year 13 Tourism students get to explore some of the wackiest and most unusual accommodation in the world at Woodlyn Park in Waitomo. Lonely Planet puts Woodlyn Park in the Top 10 Worldwide for unusual accommodation.

Chemquest

Energy Project

Starlab

On Thursday 6 October Francine Burling Claridge , Ingrid Lindeman, Marie Quayle, Coco Hsueh, Harpreet Singh, Ashleigh Beech, Sayuki Pandaram, Shalini Kumar, and Kiity Lallu, represented Girls’ High at the annual Waikato University ChemQuest competition. This is a fun competition where teams of three students compete in answering chemistry questions related to the periodic table, music, and some dramatic demonstrations.

During a couple of weeks in science we focussed on an investigation called the energy project. This energy project required us to work in groups, researching the features of energy efficient houses in preparation for designing and constructing a house that was completely energy independent and powered by solar energy only.

On 3 October, my class attended a special demonstration in the library. Star lab is like a ‘blow up igloo’. Air is blown by a fan into a tunnel at one end which keeps the dome inflated. Students then crawl through an opening/tunnel at the other end and sit on the floor inside the dome. Star lab was very interesting. As the lights dimmed, we were shown the night sky. The instructor pointed out a few constellations (Southern Cross, Scorpio and Centaurus, plus a few others). We were shown a video about each planet and how space agencies have photographed them via probes. We were also shown a video on the stages of the moon and eclipses and the different types of eclipses.

Comments from the girls included: • ChemQuest was lots of fun. I had an amazing night and learnt some cool things. • Chem Quest was a fabulous night. I had so much fun. We saw some amazing experiments and met some great people. • Exploding balloons, smelly containers, fluorescent blue chemicals ... what a night!. Chemistry is definitely one of the most exciting subjects. • Best night of Chemistry ever. If only we could do experiments like that in class. • Chemquest was a fantastic night. I learnt so much from the experiments and fun facts. Definitely recommend this to everyone. I would love to go again.

To steer us in the right direction, some general questions got us investigating the use of energy in our homes, and then we began conducting our own research and piecing together a design for our houses. In order to use solar energy efficiently we needed to include a range of features that worked together in a house collecting, storing and supplying solar energy in the form of heat, light and electricity. The time limit kept us on our toes as we worked towards producing and presenting a house model which brought all of our ideas to life in more than three dimensions. I really enjoyed this hands-on project because we were able to create our own unique house model as well as plan it and learn about energy in a way that was different from the usual. I think the class was more dedicated and focussed during the Energy Project because it was more interesting, involving and challenging than other previous topics.

Two meteorites were handed out and passed around the class. One of them had landed in Namibia and the other in China and were said to cost thousands of dollars. The class was told about how what we held in our hands would be the oldest thing that we would ever touch or see. There were also a lot of other random facts, such as how Alpha Centauri is a binary star system, in the constellation of Centaurus, also that it is the brightest star in the night sky. She also shared about her telescope collection, which sounded amazing. A Q&A session was allowed at the end of the demonstration as we finished a bit early. Here we were told how Proxima Cenaturi is the closest star to our Solar System. Also we touched on the subject of Red Shift, Blue Shift and The Doppler Effect. All in all, star lab was great, the class was fun and we learnt a lot. Written By: Sara Elgoran – Year 9XA

The Tale of Stars

Nebula into a star, then into a Red Giant, then into a Planetary Nebula and then into a white dwarf! However sadly after this, poor baby Sun-Size star dies as a Black Dwarf, but don’t cry as it’s life was long and spectacular!

Science Fair 2011

Once upon a time there was a very, very happy family. This family was well known as the ‘star’ family, and consisted of three very, very happy family members: Firstly, there was the mummy Blue Star, secondly, daddy Very Large Star, and a baby star named Sun-Size Star. These three stars lived in a big galaxy called the Milky Way. There are lots of other star families in the Milky Way - 200 billion in fact!! However, the Milky Way is not the only galaxy; there are billions of galaxies in an infinitely large dark thing we call the Universe. A lot of smart people - astronomers, believe that the universe was born because of the ‘ Big Bang Theory’. The ‘Big Bang Theory’ suggests that the universe used to be unbelievably small. When the Big Bang occurred the universe started growing, and growing, and growing, until eventually it was so big that it was an impossibly large amount of space, bigger than you could even imagine! Over time many stars were created, stars that were all alone, or stars that had planets to keep them company. Many people on our planet Earth used to look at the stars and create pictures, or constellations in the night sky that connected up the stars. These pictures were generally used to find certain directions, thus helping them navigate. mummy Blue Star, daddy Very Large Star, and baby Sun-Size Star are all part of one of a constellations called ‘Canis Major’ or just ‘The Big Dog’. This constellation can be seen in the sky in New Zealand from the middle of April to the middle of September. Every star goes through a cycle, all starting in a Stellar Nebula. Baby Sun-Size star changes from a cute baby in a Stellar

Mummy Blue-Star’s and daddy Very Large Star’s cycles are very similar. Mummy starts as a Blue Star and daddy starts as a Very Large Star. From there they both change into a Red Supergiant and both change from there into a Supernova. They die differently, but beautifully. Mummy dies as a Neutron Star and daddy dies as a Black Hole. These three stars are the nicest stars you will ever meet; they are so beautiful that if you looked at them you would be blinded. Some people when they grow up want to be a writer or a teacher, but me, I want to be a star. Written by Danielle Burling-Claridge from 9X1 Science with Mrs Bergman.

Among Gentle Giants In Paradise On Thursday 29 September biology scholarship students and any other students who were interested, came to listen to a local dive enthusiast, Geoff Tizard. Geoff had just returned from a dive trip to Tonga where he stayed on a live-aboard boat and snorkelled with humpback whales. The humpback whales migrate every year to the Pacific to mate and breed before bypassing New Zealand and returning to their rich feeding grounds in the Antarctic. He managed to snap some amazing close up photos with 45 tonne whales, even managing to get close to their 5 tonne curious calves. He wowed us all with his experience and even inspired several new divers for the future. Biology Teacher - Lizzy Dyer Page 7

In August this year the 2011 NIWA Waikato Science Fair was held at the Hamilton Gardens Pavilion. It was voluntary for girls to enter, though students in the Year 9 and 10 extension classes were encouraged to do so. Students could choose to do an investigation, developing skills in fair testing, data management and information presentation. Other categories this year included doing a biological drawing, photographing a ‘natural force’ and ‘inventions and technical innovations’. Each category was sponsored by businesses in the wider community and had a monetary prize. There were also many other special prizes to be won, including an aluminium ladder and a day spent at Solid Energy. We were very proud of our girls’ entries and delighted that they received three prizes. Our prizewinners were: Bronwyn Kirby 1st Place: Scientific Photography (Open entry) Bree-Anna van der Oest 1st Place: Year 9-10 Scientific Wall Chart Alex Mayer 2nd Place: Year 9-10 Scientific Wall Chart

December and students and parents are more than welcome to make an appt at anytime.

STAR courses have finished for the year and will begin once again in 2012 - Term Two for Yr 11 – 13 and Term Three Yr 10’s. Every year new courses are added to the wide range on offer, over 300 students participated this year. The ‘Intro to Police’ pilot course proved to be extremely popular, being both informative and fun. The ‘Rock Band’ students came away with a CD of their performances – they were real ‘STARS’. Many students showed a willingness to try something new – Car Refinishing, Sound Engineering and Arboriculture to name a few.

Navy Adventure Challenge During the October school holidays Georgia Boden, a Yr 12 student, participated in the Navy Adventure Challenge held at the Devonport Naval Base. Every year all the Armed Forces offer these experience weeks for students considering the Forces as a career option. This is Georgia’s account of her week long experience “I applied along with over 400 other Year 12 & 13 students and was lucky enough to be selected as one of 40 students throughout New Zealand to go on the Navy Adventure Challenge week in the October school holidays. I wanted to go to the Navy to get a taste of what life in the forces would be like and to find out more about a potential career option. There were 17 girls and 23 boys and we all stayed in the Devonport Naval Base. Each morning we got up at 5 o’clock and had to be formed up outside ready for early morning activity. Each day consisted of different activities which were all equally exciting. We fought fire with extinguishers, toured the Navy boats, participated in sea survival, toured the simulators, had rides Page 8

on the RIB (ridged inflatable boat) and VIP boat, did the Navy assault course, did orienteering and damage control, which was my favourite. Damage control was a huge boat simulator. It was built to be exactly like the inside of a Navy boat. We were all chucked in and told to find the holes in the boat and patch them up. We all figured it sounded fairly straight forward until the simulator actually began flooding, quickly. It was easy enough to find the holes in the walls but very difficult to patch them up because the freezing water was gushing in with a huge amount of power. When the water started getting up to our stomachs we had to climb out of a man hole that has water surging through it. That was probably the scariest moment of the entire week but once I was through, it was well worth it. You really don’t get to experience things like that often and so I really appreciated the opportunity to have that unique experience. Every night we had a personal training session that worked us super hard. There were three trainers that basically all looked like large slabs of muscle. They had no mercy and when you were in agonising pain they simply told you to ‘suck it up.’ Each night was something a little different but all involving the same intensity and competitive vibe. I can honestly say, never in my life have I been pushed so hard and worked so hard. The feeling of accomplishment after was unbelievable, the feeling of fatigue even more unbelievable. The week was a big eye opener for me and I am now seriously considering the Navy as a career. The people I met there were absolutely awesome and I took a lot away from the experience. I would really recommend this to anyone thinking about joining the Navy.” Georgia Boden

Gateway I Will Own A Restaurant I always dream that one day I will own a restaurant, and this goal motivates me to pursue a career in Hospitality. Working towards this goal is to become a chef in the near future. Through Gateway I was given an opportunity to be trained at the Cancer Society Lodge as a Kitchen Hand. I completed my 80 hours of work with them but because I have a passion in food, I always volunteered to help out in their busy time. I treated my time of work with them just like I am in a paid position. I really enjoyed working there because I learned a lot from my mentor, and moreover helping sick people is so great. It’s not really money I am after, but giving my all to the service these patients need, is what really gives me the incentive to have a positive attitude at all times. After completing my Gateway at the Cancer Society, I was hired straight away by them. I was really happy about it. I have learnt that dreams do not become a reality through magic but through sweat, determination and hard work. Gateway is just like a key that unlocks the door to the opportunity you want to pursue. But to achieve your goal, your attitude is the greatest input to your success. The little step of faith I took, in believing in my own self is something that motivates me to reach the standard I am attaining now. Honesty, punctuality, and an eye for detail are great attributes that also contribute to ones success and achievement in life. Even though I still have a long way to go to achieve my goal, right now I am climbing up on the first rung of the ladder to success and nothing can stop me from pursuing my dreams. I just want to recommend to every student at Hamilton Girls’ High that Gateway is an answer to unlock your dreams and can make you really believe in yourself to achieve your goals. If it has done this for me it can do it also for you, but you have to have the right attitude. Ruth Chong

Have you noticed an increase in ICT use by your teachers this year?

In 1974 we were asked to purchase a calculator for Mathematics at high school. The calculator was to replace the slide rule and log tables we used at the time. The cost was $75 and the calculator was very large by today’s standards and did far less than the graphics calculators we expect students to have now. $75 in 1974 equates to approx $724 today.

HGHS has a schoolwide wireless network where students can access the internet with their own devices. This wireless network is password protected and set up for students to connect with their school login and password. We are connected to the Velocity Fibre Loop in Hamilton and have fibre in the school making the internet speed faster than many other schools currently experience. Having these things in place are enablers for students to bring their own devices to school.

Archives & The Centennial Year

interesting quiz for all the students which helped them to learn more about the history of their school.

Archives and the Centennial Year! Centennial year is almost over! It has been a very hectic time as the records held in the archives were pivotal to the success of the centennial, and many of the events surrounding it, particularly the reunion weekend.

Scanned photos were provided to students who had a role in the centennial celebrations, and I answered many questions from both staff and students looking for historical information for displays and teaching. Some special pieces of school memorabilia was also lent to the Waikato Museum for their display recognising the historic significance of this schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100th birthday.

Checking of facts, figures and dates of photos, along with a measure of re-writing for the centennial book, One School: Two Stories, required many months of work. This culminated in the launch of the book at a high tea on the 27th of September. This exciting research and writing project absorbed more than a year of my life! Research is an increasing part of an archivistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role. Two other projects required many hours spent on the telephone trying to find past pupils. Tracking down the family of Annie Cook, the first girl enrolled at the new Hamilton High School in 1911, was an exciting piece of detective work. This culminated in her descendants attending the presentation of the first Annie Cook Award. Trying to find the oldest living pupil of Hamilton High School took several months, and ultimately it was Dorothy Annie Mills (nee Thompson) who proved to be the oldest pupil. She attended the morning tea held here at Hamilton Girls High. The Annie bear was named after her also. Two years of scanning photos held in the archives was invaluable as a resource for the centennial. These were used in publications, the decade PowerPoint displays, the decade room boards, and for the centennial cookbook. Photos and information sourced from the old Hamiltonia magazines provided an

Please make use of your school archives, there is a wealth of information stored there, I am available on Tuesday to meet with you and undertake requests for information. If you have anything you would like to lend or donate to the archive please ring the school on Tuesday and ask to speak with the Archivist. Susan Mellsopp: HGHS Archivist

Year 10 Economics and Enterprise Studies students have been keenly learning about the ‘productive sector’ of the Economy. They have been making wonderfully creative posters, using Microsoft Publisher to clearly illustrate the three distinct sectors involved in the production of goods and services in New Zealand. The poster above was designed by Danielle Higgs of Year 10 Enterprise Studies – line 6. It clearly illustrates the interdependence of each sector and the roles they play in making sure that kiwi consumers are able to access chocolate!’

Campbell House This has been such a short term but still so many activities and Campbell happenings. There have been two letters from the Women’s Refuge thanking all members of the house for their financial donations. Heather Henare the CEO wrote: “Your contribution will allow more women and their children to live free from violence and fear and help ensure a brighter future for them. We thank you for your commitment to helping Women’s Refuge achieve life changing results. “ Thank you for your generosity girls - also for the boxes and boxes of tinned items Shevani delivered to the food bank – they were very grateful and said – there is always a need but it is at this time of year when the shortages are noticed the most. Campbell has had a great year and it has been due to the amazingly energetic leadership of Shevani Chand – such a cheerful and outstanding motivator. She was helped by her prefects – Samantha Attwell, Jennifer Leofo and Siobhan Edwards - What a team. More special thanks must go to Ms Wenham and Mrs Paterson for their drive and energy.

Netball

Athletics

Touch

For the first time in Hamilton Girls’ High School history, the premier netball team qualified for New Zealand Secondary School Nationals. Finishing 6th place in New Zealand was a huge achievement for the vibrant girls. Day one started off with tough competition playing Tu Toa (the overall winners) being defeated. But coming back from that loss, Hamilton Girls’ womped Cambridge and St. Margaret’s making it through to the top 8 of the competition. The girls were overwhelmed with their next pool, being placed with Auckland Girls’ Grammar School, Mount Albert Grammar school, and Epsom Girls’ Grammar school. All VERY hard teams, but they knew they could do it. MAGGs was first, being smashed by them at Upper Norths they knew it was going to be tough, but the girls played out of their skins only losing by 8, the closest score MAGGS had had all tournament. Next was AGGS. Hamilton Girls’ was trailing the whole game being 3 down at 3 quarter time but refusing to lose, came back with a fight and won the game by 4! Finally it was EGGS, disappointingly HGHS went down by one goal making them lose their place playing off for 3rd and fourth guttering. And so the last day brought their final placing to 6th.
