Karamu High School Yearbook 2019 by Karamū High School

KARAMU THE NAME AND SCHOOL CREST:

The name Karamu has long been associated with the Hastings area. It is the name of the local stream and was the name of JP Ormond’s estate on the other side of the city. However, Karamu High School derives its name from the Karamu tree Coprosma lucida. The tree had great significance in early Maori belief. It symbolised life and all the goodness in the Earth and mankind. It had the power to cleanse both spiritually and mentally. THE SCHOOL MOTTO: Knowledge is Strength emphasises the role of knowledge in strong successful life and is the basis of citizenship. THE SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT: Karamu High School will provide co-educational learning opportunities that will inspire students to achieve a wide range of success and develop high standards and self-esteem to enable them to become successful members of society. Students will achieve this through a well-balanced education focusing on individual needs in a friendly, safe and attractive environment. SCHOOL VISION STATEMENT: Proudly Karamu: Proud of who we are and what we stand for Proudly Hastings: Actively supporting the community we are in Proudly Learning: Aiming to achieve to our full potential

PROUDLY KARAMU

children is critical to the success of our young people. Whether as a coach, manager, administrator, standing on the side lines or as an audience at production or performance, your support really makes a difference, and our students do appreciate it. Lastly, I would like to acknowledge the engagement and participation of the student body, in particular our Year 13 students led by Ben Randle, Lucy McKay, Tia Ward and Tyler Boyes. Having started alongside this year group in 2015 it has been fantastic to see their growth and development as they have navigated their way through the teenage years. They are an exceptional group of people who represent our school vision and values. We wish them all the best and look forward to seeing their ongoing success in the future.

It is with mixed emotions that I write this, my final report as Principal of Karamu High School, after a five-year association with the school. It has been a real honour and privilege to have been given this opportunity and one that I will always reflect on fondly. I would like to begin by, once again, paying tribute and acknowledging the many people who help govern, lead, manage, organise and assist in making Karamu High School a successful place to learn and work. We have been fortunate to have maintained stability in our governance over a number of years thanks largely to our Board Chairman Mr Dave De Lange, who was again successfully elected to the role. His experience, and his calm and considered manner make him a real asset to this school and community and we cannot thank him and his family enough for the commitment he continues to make to our school. I would like to also acknowledge outgoing board representatives Mrs Kate Holden and Mr Ian Horsefield for their contribution over the past six years. At the same time, we welcome on newly elected members Mrs Tanya Douglas, Mr John Marks and Mr Nick Richards who join the board to guide and direct the strategic vision of the school into the future. We are fortunate to attract and retain fantastic staff here at Karamu, and 2019 has been no different with a commitment by the whole team to ensure our students receive a quality education with numerous opportunities to grow and develop. Alongside our teachers are our exceptional support staff, from the front office to the ground staff, who work tirelessly to ensure that the school runs smoothly. We are also grateful for the support our school receives from parents, caregivers, whanau and the community. The role parents, whanau and families play in the education of their

This year has seen a continued focus on student achievement through the Poutama Pounamu project and the integration of digital technologies curriculum across the school. We look to experiencing the ongoing benefits of this work in the coming years as our students progress through the school. Further work was also initiated under the Hautū review with a strategic plan developed for Māori student achievement. I would like to thank the whanau who engaged with us at the various hui to share their insights and knowledage. Also, this year the school has engaged with ‘Connect Futures’, a voluntary organisation that helps schools remain connected with ex-students. The formation of ‘Tira Ora’ database (branchlet of the karamu tree) is the first step with work underway to establish this database of all of our leavers. As Karamu moves into a new chapter of leadership, I know that there is much change ahead in the education sector. These are exciting times and I hope that the recent education reviews achieve what they aspire to achieve. In order to get transformational change, strong and determined leadership is required. This, however, needs to be matched with the physical and financial resourcing to support successful implementation. I sincerely hope that the Ministry of Education can step up in this regard to ensure we can achieve the goal of equity and excellence for all learners. In closing I would like to acknowledge my family, in particular my wife Angela and two boys Lachlan and Cameron. Their support and encouragement over the past four years in particular has been humbling and I look forward to the opportunity to spend more quality time with them. We are Proudly Karamu, Proudly Hastings and Proudly Learning and I sincerely wish the school and all associated the very best in the future. Have a safe and happy holiday season.

PRINCIPAL’S REPORT 6

2019 has certainly been a busy year at Karamu, a visit from the Education Review Office, Board of Trustees Elections and the appointment of a new Principal has seen a lot of work by the Board and Senior Leadership team at Karamu. The ERO team visited Karamu as part of their regular evaluation cycle. This visit is an ideal opportunity for the school to receive independent feedback and assurance that we are meeting the needs of the students. ERO rightfully acknowledged the schools existing strength around school culture and a strong sense of belonging that promotes student social and emotional wellbeing and encouraging respectful relationships. It also noted that we care for growing staff professional capability through a strategic and coherent approach that is focused on improving outcomes for students. The positive feedback from ERO combined with another year of great NCEA and scholarship results reinforces that Karamu is continuing to provide a well-rounded education for the students while allowing them to develop as young adults ready to join the workforce or move on to further study. This is a real credit to all the staff across the school, the senior leadership team, teachers and support staff who collectively work very hard to provide the students with a great experience and opportunities at Karamu We also had the triennial Board of Trustees elections and I would like to thank the school community for their support of all the trustees who were elected onto the Board. We will continue to ensure our stewardship role ensures the staff have the support and resources to continue to deliver a robust education for the students. It was great to see new trustees elected from some of our neighbouring schools. I also acknowledge and thank Mrs Kate Holden and Mr Ian Horsefield for the contribution and work they have done over many years of committed service on the Board. 2019 also saw the appointment of a new Principal, Mrs Dionne Thomas who will begin as Principal at the start of the 2020 (yes that’s correct 2020). Mrs Thomas replaces Mr Michael Leitch who made the difficult decision to resign as Principal and pursue his passion for teaching as HOD Physical Education at Napier Boys’ High School. Mr Leitch has lead Karamu well ensuring we maintain momentum around student achievement and wellbeing across all areas as well as leading staff recruitment and development, we wish him all the best in the future. Mrs Thomas has a strong history with Karamu, firstly as a student, parent, teacher and most recently Deputy Principal. She is actively involved in various areas of the Hawkes Bay

community and I have no doubt that she will provide excellent leadership as principal at Karamu. The appointment of Mrs Thomas created a vacancy for a Deputy Principal with Mr Aron Noble been appointed to the position. Mr Noble will join our Senior Leadership Team in 2020 and will no doubt bring his own strengths to an already effective team. The stars of 2019 have however, again been the students, it’s incredible to see how these students grow during the year when provided with a great learning environment and staff that both support and challenge students. The students active involvement in learning, sport, cultural events and the community is a real credit to them, it’s difficult to recognise their achievements in this written report, I encourage readers to have a good look through this magazine to fully appreciate what talented students we are growing. What is really pleasing is how students take lead roles at various activities and events during the year 2019 was also the first time for thirteen years that we had to hold a ballot for students for the 2020 year. A difficult process that leaves some disappointed but essential to maintain the size and character of Karamu and a reflection of the schools ongoing popularity as a secondary school of choice for many families. I am sure 2020 will be the beginning of a great experience for the new and existing students at Karamu. Finally, thanks to the staff, numerous parents, caregivers, volunteers (including students) and community groups that support Karamu throughout the year, your support is greatly appreciated, and I hope you all have a great Christmas and New Year.

Apart from his work in special education, Murray has also contributed to the co-curricular life of the school and is known for his shining and charismatic personality both as a teacher, sportsman and with all the coaching that he did, cricket mainly, but also hockey, rugby and cycling. Murray was often asked by other teachers to accompany them on school trips such as Geography, Physical Education and EOTC. In 1973 Murray graduated from Ardmore Teachers Training and his first year of teaching was in 1974 at Hastings Intermediate School. Throughout his career he also taught at Waimea Intermediate, Central Hawkes Bay College, Terrace School, Springhill Primary, Wallingford School (Principal), Taradale Intermediate (Deputy Principal), Mangateretere School (Principal), Rural Education Advisor, Heretaunga Intermediate (Deputy Principal), RTLB, Karamu High School.

Throughout his career Murray has been passionate about serving the community and the learning and teaching of children and young people. Murray often recounts stories of past pupils that have approached him the community, on the streets or whilst he was shopping at the supermarket and tell him about their lives and what they were now doing. Murray can remember every single student he has ever taught. Murray is a proud grandfather, and, in his retirement, he aims to spend more time with his grandchildren, children and his wife Lynne who he credits as being the backbone and foundation of the family throughout his teaching career. He will love getting out on his bike more, spending time adventuring with his old teaching friends, reading, and travelling. Murray has been a much-loved colleague and teacher who will long be remembered for his friendly banter, practical jokes, sense of humour, and for wearing his heart on his sleeve. Karamu High School wishes Murray and his family all the best for an enjoyable and much deserved retirement. Thank you Mr Jamieson.

He was a key teacher in the area of Calculus and initiated a two-year Scholarship program for strongest mathematicians. He had several different roles in his time at Karamu High School including running both the tennis and chess clubs. Craig will always be remembered for the minibus accident on his way to a chess competition in Napier in which everyone walked away safely. Mr. Thompson has taken up a new position as a senior mathematician for Havelock North High School where he will be able to watch his children progress through school. We wish him all the best and hope that he continues to develop as a successful teacher of mathematics.

Philip Chamberlain

Mr. Philip Chamberlain and his family emigrated from England and joined Karamu High School in 2010. As an experienced Chemistry teacher and previous Head of Faculty, he immediately brought to bear his considerable expertise and enthusiasm for teaching Science. His classes very much appreciated his dry sense of humour and his unfailing passion for helping them develop their learning potential. Mr. Chamberlain was a keen user of new technologies in the classroom and frequently drove the development of digital applications within the faculty. Colleagues appreciated his sage advice and the thoughtful contributions he made to helping implement the many changes to the curriculum in the past decade. The school was also very lucky to have Mrs. Chamberlain join the Karamu staff for a time as a learning support assistant. Their twin sons attended Karamu, leaving in 2017 to attend the Auckland University School of Engineering. We wish him and his family well for 2020 as he takes up his new position as Head of Science at Hastings Girls High School.

Showquest is a performance competition entailing dance, drama, music, theatre technology and art. 2019 was a whirlwind of performance events for all these subjects, Showquest brought all of them together. Starting in the summer holidays, a creative team of students met to discuss ideas and craft what the performance could be. With so many voices inputting their creative ideas we had a lot to work with. We settled on the importance of family support for those dealing with teenage depression. We chose this theme as it is a problem in New Zealand that isn’t talked about enough. Our aim through our performance was to breach a taboo subject and shine light on how family and friends can help those affected by depression. Our leaders throughout the entire process, from ideas to performance, were Jamie Hollway and Tia Ward. An amazing amount of effort was put in by these two, as well as by Mrs Cooper and Ms McElwee to produce our end result. We wanted to incorporate as many dance genres and acting opportunities as possible in our performance. Karamu High School received the award for the Best Theme. The large team of over 50 students performed extremely well. None of this could have been accomplished without the huge number of people who participated, led and supervised. By Amber Flashoff

SHOWQUEST

This year’s Big Sing competition was heavily impacted by the strike action of teachers throughout the country. As a result, the competition was dramatically reduced in size and participation as schools were unable to staff the excursion. We were fortunate to be able to take Coro Notabile to participate and represent our school. The students performed extremely well and entertained the audience both during the daytime sessions and as part of the gala performance in the evening. It was a wonderful day of music making and performance experience. Amanda Cooper

BIG SING 15

HEAD STUDENTS From the freshmen year of 2015 to the end of an era 2019, Karamu High School, you have done me well. Time has travelled and has gone too fast where what seemed to have been endless hours of class time & homework to now, what only remains of a few short weeks before “adulthood”. I am grateful for all the experiences and opportunities that I’ve had over these 5 years from adventures of Outward Bound, ski trip, lunchtime schemes with Mr Ross, incubator programme, Friday night basket balling, early games of footy and of course the school events which show the true rivalry of friends and teachers: House sport (Kaweka for the win).

I have come to learn that Karamu High school is far more than just academics and sporting abilities, it’s about growth and building of character within a person. The hardships we experience inside and outside of the classroom are only something to learn and grow from. I know for sure these hardships have shaped the person I am today, safe to say after five long years of heartbreaks, 2nd place badges and sweat marks after every interval and lunch, I’ve made it.

As of course I would have never been able to make it without the help of the staff and my friends. First, to the people I have great respect and utmost admiration for. Constantly giving their time and effort for the students, that would be teaching, organising timetables, references, career interviews, cleaning the school grounds, making sure all IT is functioning and, of course, the help needed due to the lack of knowledge of not knowing how to tie a tie. I am thankful to each staff member who has helped guide me into the world of learning and shown that, with perseverance and belief, anything is possible.

To the students of KHS and especially to my own year group, the class of 2015, you lot are a crazy bunch. Getting to know you guys throughout the years, I have come to conclude that you all are individually unique in your own way. We have all been through many highs celebrating them as individuals or as a collective. We have all been through many lows but always had a shoulder for support. We’ve been there for each other and always will be, pushing one another to exceed our limits. I am truly grateful and blessed to have been surrounded by fantastic people on a daily basis. As always, study smart, dream big, set goals and always smile. - Ben Randle

When I started at Karamu, I remember looking up to the prefects, especially when I was in junior school, and knew I wanted to be in a position to make an impact on members of the school community when it was my chance. So when I was lucky enough to be announced Head Girl for 2019, I knew I was being set up for an amazing year. We often hear “what would you tell your Year 9 self now if you were able to change something?”, and although there are a few things I would do differently, I would have to say that my willingness to try all the endless opportunities that Karamu has to offer is a trait that I am proud I kept up, and is why I’ve been able to look back and say I’ve had an amazing 5 years at Karamu. I’ve lived through my high school years with the knowledge that you only regret the chances you don’t take, and through this I’ve had endless amazing experiences. From the extremes such as kayaking through Marlborough Sounds, getting a medal at the Grant Jarvis football tournament this year, ski trips, high ropes, completing a half marathon, to the more mellow things such as the feeling of getting a good grade on an exam you know you worked hard for, or the proud feeling of watching the juniors you coach win their debate. However, I can’t act as if all these things I’ve been lucky enough to partake in have been achieved simply because of my willingness to give things a go, but rather because of the amazing teachers, and school that have allowed the success of any student who should want it. Whether it’s been Mrs van Rijk organising all our Duke of Edinburgh trips, the PE staff pushing us to the limits on the skiing and Rotorua trips, Mr Rafferty coaching our team up to silver in our tournament, Mr Chamberlain printing out hundreds of pieces of paper to get the chemistry message across, Mr Blake setting up endless opportunities in the sports sector, and so many more teachers in so many different areas, all backed up by an amazing senior staff as well. So, if I can recommend something to every student at Karamu, it would be to take up as many opportunities as possible that Karamu has to offer in order to reach their full potential, because you won’t regret it. Knowing that very soon I’m going to have to say goodbye to the place that’s been a home for the last 5 years in order to chase my dreams is very bittersweet, but I know that I’ll live the rest my life remembering Karamu and everything it did for me. -Lucy McKay

Lucy McKay Head Girl

First, I would like to say a huge thank you to the students and staff for allowing me to be your Deputy Head Girl 2019. I will never forget the first day I walked into Karamu High School as a Year 9 and being greeted by the student leaders of 2015. Each year the leaders of Karamu would inspire me to always aim high and do my best in everything, this led to me wanting to inspire others someday by becoming a leader in Year 13. My life at Karamu has been an honourable experience I will never forget. One of my highlights at Karamu has been the many opportunities for students to utilize their skills and passion, especially in the Performing Arts area. From Show Quest to school productions to Stage Challenge to Dance NZ Made, Karamu has done it all and I’m extremely proud to be a part of it. If I have learnt one thing while being at Karamu, it’s that you will always be told to follow your dreams. But this doesn’t come easy, success takes a lot of time and dedication. So, if there is anyone reading this that has a dream in life that seems far-fetched, go for it! What’s stopping you? Is it the thought of failure? Because if you don’t try, then you’ve already failed. If I could give one final piece of advice to the students of Karamu High School it would be: Don’t let anyone stop you from following your dream no matter how big or small, if you put in the time and effort you will be rewarded with the success you deserve.

Deputy Head Girl

Wowee, no words just that! What a wild ride the last 5 years of my life with Karamu High School has been. Karamu has allowed me to meet an amazing cohort of people, make friendships that will last a lifetime and has given me endless opportunities across all Academia, Sporting and Cultural fields. I have been given the chance to be a part of amazing experiences such as Whale Watching in Kaikoura, eating raw sardines and eggs for rugby tournaments in Whanganui, snowboarding trips, being a part of the performing arts groups that have won awards in Stage challenge and Showquest and competing in all the house events for the mighty Heretaunga.

However, Karamu would not be the school it is today without it’s hard working staff. They put a mammoth amount of work into us students and without them we wouldn’t be able to succeed. I have formed many great relationships with different staff members over my years at Karamu. From Tina constantly having to fix my collar in the office, to singing along to “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys with Mr Chamberlain and going for a round of golf with Mr Wooster. All the staff are always there for us students whether it’s to organise an extra tutorial or just for a chinwag. They are more like friends then teachers and this is what separates our school from the rest. One thing that I have learnt from being at Karamu is to get amongst what the school has to offer and to get outside of your comfort zone. As teenagers it is easy for us to stick to the same old boring routine and do what we know we like or are good at. But if I have any advice for you it is to break your daily routine and shake things up. Go and try your hand at something new and get involved in different groups whether it be signing up for a new sport, joining a new cultural group or signing up for a new subject. Get out there and give it your best shot, you never know, you may just love it. Another important life lesson I have learnt is that you need to work hard. In the famous words of William Waiirua “Do the mahi, get the treats”. If you want to succeed and achieve your goals, the only way to get there is by putting in the work and not cutting corners. No one else can do it for you, it is up to you to find the drive and put the work in so you can get those treats. Finally, thank you to the school for allowing me to be your Deputy Head Boy for 2019. This journey has been a once in lifetime experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. To all the students, get out there and get amongst what the school has to offer, work hard and stay humble. For now, it’s time for us Year 13’s to hang up our boots and begin the next chapter of our lives. -Tyler Boyes

POWHIRI 2019

The 2019 annual Karamu Cabaret “A Starry Night” was an unforgettable evening for Year 13 students. The students arrived in style, glamorously dressed to match the charmingly decorated Cheval Rooms at the Hastings Racecourse. When the students entered the venue, they walked through doors framed with ivy and fairy lights with subtle hints of glitter here and there. The tables were decorated with sparkly table runners and shimmering silver stars that lit beautiful ivy-covered candelabras, and this was all thanks to an amazing team of students who spent their time decorating the venue. It was a great night spent with friends, dancing and laughing while being accompanied by live music and a DJ. A scrumptious three-course meal was provided, and the night was all captured by a professional photographer, Neil Mackenzie, and of course a photo booth, to ensure the memories of this night would not be forgotten.

The King of the Cabaret, Daniel Stuart, was dressed in a navy-blue suit with a floral shirt, a striking maroon tie and a matching pocket square paired with classic brown dress boots. The Queen of the Cabaret, Briar Fraser, was dressed in a sky-blue fishtail gown with a lace bodice, paired with pink and blue floral strappy heels, and a classic art deco hairstyle. The Prince of the Cabaret, Te Au Skipworth, was dressed in a sheer black shirt with a dazzling golden suit jacket paired with classic black pants and dress shoes. The Princess, Tia Ward was dressed in a modern, rose gold, sparkly jumpsuit paired with 20 white platform heels and her hair was elegantly slicked back in a high ponytail.

It was a night for the Year 13 students to celebrate their last year and the time they have had at Karamu and it would not have been possible without Mr Wooster and the team of students that organized this unforgettable evening.

On a sunny but windy Wednesday, the school equestrian team of; Captain Ella Lindsay-Smith riding Charlie Farley, Hannah MacKay riding Angel in a Storm and Kayla Anderson riding Dollar, competed in the Havelock North Interschool Equestrian event. The girls each completed 2 show jumping rounds each and Ella and Kayla took on the Cross-Jump; a fun combination of cross-country and show jumping. Although not in the ribbons, the horses and their riders all had a fun and successful day. As a personal best, Hannah jumped her first ever clear 1.00 metre show jumps. Great work team.

HOUSE SPORTS 2019

Karamu High School was lucky, once again, with stellar weather on Swimming, Athletic and Winter Sports days.

Swimming Sports 2019 was held at the Frimley Swimming Pools and was well attended by all Houses. As always, there was a mix of ‘championship’ races featuring our fastest fish-like students, as well as alternative events such as ‘Over and Under’ and ‘Make a Splash.’ Ultimately, with 900 points, it was the mighty Kaweka House that took away the blue ribbon at the end of the day. Tuki Tuki was nail-bitingly close behind, with 890 points, followed by Te Mata and Heretaunga, with 790 and 750 points, respectively. What a fantastic day!

Athletic Sports, though slightly cooler on the day, was also a smashing success. In their final Athletic Sports Day of their high school careers, Year 13s Cortez Te Pou, Ruby Brett, and Head Girl Lucy McKay took out the top three spots in the Senior Girls race, while Head Boy Ben Randle headed up the Senior Boys, followed closely by Year 11s Joel Tawera and Cameron Orr. In the end, Tuki Tuki was able to snaffle the top prize away from last year’s winner, Kaweka, by a mere 65 points. In third and fourth place came Heretaunga and Te Mata. Well done to all involved!

Winter Sports, held in Term 3, was a windy, sunny day at Windsor Park. This afternoon of fun, unlike our Athletics Day, features sports like Ki o Rahi, football, rugby, volleyball, netball, capture the flag, and hockey, among others. This year, it was a tight race to first place. Sneaking up from third and fourth place earlier in the year, Te Mata swiped the winner’s seat with 262 points, followed by Tuki Tuki in second with 251 points, and a tie for third between Heretaunga and Kaweka, each with 250 points. Winter Sports will not be seen again until 2021; next year, we will tackle House Music!

MR G

On Monday 1 April Mr Graham Hoete (aka Mr G) came to speak at a whole school assembly and share his experiences. His passion and general engagement of the students were inspirational to many through both his artistic talent and messages of hope. We would like to acknowledge Jenny Nilsson and Steve Lawson at the Hastings House of Travel for their support. Following on from this assembly on Friday 5 April our students got in behind Gumboot Day to raise funds to allow free counselling services for our youth. Our Community leaders did a fantastic job in promoting and running activities for the students to raise awareness of this event.

ATHLETICS DAY

DEBATING Debating continues to thrive at Karamu High School. We have always had a strong representation regionally and even nationally when it comes to debating. It is exciting to watch our students showcase not only their speaking skills, but also their ability to think critically. 2019 was a great year in debating. The highlight of our debating calendar is the annual Regional Debating Competition. At the beginning of the year, our debaters arrive at school at 7am every Wednesday to prepare for this key competition. The competition weekend is intense, and sees many of the top debating schools in Hawke’s Bay gather to debate. As we do every year, Karamu High School shone. One of our teams, made up of Erika Balestie Diaz (Year 12), Thea Morton (Year 12) and Sophie Jones (Year 12), managed to maintain their winning streak, right up to the semi-final. Although we did not come away with the overall win, our students were extremely well represented in the list of accolades. Thea Morton was selected to represent Hawke’s Bay in the National competition. Sophie Jones was awarded a Most Promising Speaker award and was selected as a reserve for the Regional team. Jessica Shoemark was awarded a Promising Speaker award and Amber Flashoff was given a Highly Commended award. It was fantastic to see so many of our students recognised for their debating talent. On top of their busy academic schedule, our students then continued to compete in the inter school competition. This enabled the students to continue to develop their skills in this extremely competitive environment. The Karamu Teams presented some strong competition for the region and came away with several successes over the year. The future of debating at Karamu High School is very bright. Although we are sad to farewell some of our amazing Year 13 Debaters, the contingent coming through from Year 10, 11 and 12 present a force to be reckoned with. Farewell to 2019 and look out 2020.

BADMINTON Once again Badminton has been a successful sport at Karamu. We entered four girls’ and two boys’ teams playing in the Inter-School Competition. We are in a phase of rebuilding our strength in badminton with a high number of new players taking up the sport. Games are played at multiple venues each week – some were home games, while other teams headed off to Napier or Havelock or Flaxmere to face their opponents. Our returning players of B grade have consolidated the skills learnt over a number of years and were a formidable force against other teams. The newer players in the C and D grades learnt the basics of the game and by the end of their competition were starting to show a number of skills to find the win. Results for this year were: Girls’ KHS B came 3rd place Girls’ KHS C1 came 21st place Girls’ KHS C2 came 13th place Boys KHS C1 came in 10th place Boys KHS D1 came in 8th place Thank you to Miss Glenny for organising all of Badminton and to Mr Rolls for taking charge of the boys. Also, a big thanks to Mrs McDonald, Mrs Hunter and Miss Redwood for helping out driving teams to all of the different venues each week.

SPEECH EXTENSION ‘P T K’

Year 12’s

‘B D G’

The year 12’s finished off grade eight and Jess Shoemark and Sophie Jones worked towards their ASB’s. (Diploma with Speech NZ)

Horse breath -breath out through your lips like a horse ‘Cheese and ham sandwich’ What is it? Speech is designed to boost your confidence and take the fear out of getting up to speak. Karamu has a proud history of the highest exam marks of any state school as well as talented public speakers and debaters. What is covered? Zealand exams.

Students work towards Speech New

Who did what? This year Esta Chaplin in year nine, sat grade three Public Speaking and Annabel Elmsly in year ten, sat Grade four. Esta says - ‘Speech has helped in all areas of my learning from presenting a project in class or leading a group of people. Learning this skill very helpful in my daily life’. Annabel comments – ‘Speech has given me many opportunities to get experience speaking in front of people and to gain confidence. I feel that now after completing a speech exam I am more comfortable speaking in front of an audience’. Junior debaters had the option to attend speech classes to help them with their confidence, voice, delivery and structure. Year 11’s Amie Hazelwood, Ethin Templeton and Sammi Eaglestone completed their red bar in OCA’s and grade seven modules. Ethin says ‘Speech this year has helped me to extend my communication skills and study a board range of topics. I personally enjoyed sitting a higher form of OCA, as it was already something I was familiar with and came naturally to me. The skills I’ve learnt this year will definitely help me next year, when I seek to complete Grade 7 and move onto ASB. These skills I can learn in my future career, whatever that may be. I’ve enjoyed Speech a lot this year, and can’t wait to continue in 2020.’

Brooke Hemmings sat grade eight speech and drama and Thea Morton and Romona Wainohu also sat grade eight but public speaking. Brooke says ‘What I have got out of speech is confidence, as taking it gives you techniques of how to deliver a public performance. This then as a drama student helped me to improve my skills in both areas. Speech is fun and allows you to play around with characters while learning important elements of the subject. Speech is an essential skill and I would encourage everyone to do it’. Year 13’s Lucy Mckay, Abigail Kilkolly, Hannah Bursnall, Jacinta Foreman and Ruby Brett all passed their ASB’s. Ruby passed her Advanced ASB teaching exam with distinction and Abigail also passed the Advanced Certificate in Professional Speaking. Ruby says ‘Completing the teaching module has helped me take a step closer to being a primary school teacher. This also creates doors in the future where I can carry on speech teaching and complete my other modules outside of school’. A big thank you to our extremely supportive librarian, Mrs Fraser, who has proudly hung the diplomas on the library. Please go and check them out as they represent a lot of grit, determination, hard work and talent. And another Big thank you to the students who have helped with the Hillmac Speech Contest at the National Aquarium of New Zealand. It’s been a privilege to teach Speech Extension for the last two years, taking over from Mrs Bartlett in 2018. Ms Coleman has left to move to Wairoa and has been replaced by Mrs Watson. Ms Coleman

BIG DAY OUT 2019 The BIG DAY OUT always provides a great opportunity for Year 9’s to get to know their form class and build positive relationships with each other. The students enjoy activities around games of trust and teamwork to help them build relationships and skills that they can take back to the classroom. The students are quiet and unsure at the start of the day but the buzz at the end, the friendships made show the unique social confidence and positive self-esteem the BIG DAY OUT provides for students. Here are some student reflections of the day: • We got the opportunity to bond with each other and I really got to know my form class. • The amazing race activity really tested our teamwork and problem-solving skills. • All the activities helped to build my trust in others, my communication skills and confidence. • What an awesome way to start the year. • Lots of fun had by all. The Year 13’s also come along and support the Year 9’s and introduce them to our school values of Whanaungatanga and Manaakitanga. Thanks also goes to the teaching staff, Miss Blake, Mr and Mrs Crawford, and in particular, Mr Ross for what he does to make the BIG DAY OUT a success.

BASKETBALL The Junior Boys’ A team had a great season in Division 2. They started with a bang and went through to the semi-finals at the end of the season. With the season came a range of injuries and that meant the semi-final was played with no bench. They went all the way with a fully loaded St Johns bench (the eventual winners) but ended up short with a minute to go. Great leadership from Jacob Matthews and the rest of the team. Mr Hollands the coach enjoyed the season and looks forward to seeing them as Seniors in 2020. The Junior B Team, under the guidance of Mr Wardrope, had a great season with some wins and losses and they had a very close few games. This was also the pattern in the Senior Boys B and C teams who gave it their best every week and ended up in the mix at the end of the season. The Senior A Boys’ team played well, and they continue to develop as a young team. Most of the players will be returning to Karamu in 2020 and we look forward to them being joined by the Junior players moving up to the next level. Brock Coulbeck was the high scorer for the season, and this would not have been possible without the support of his team. The Senior Girls’ team under the leadership of Max Taiapa-Powell and coached by Lilly Bartlett, continued to develop over the season, while they did not have a great success on the score sheet, they all played well and enjoyed what was for many their last year at school. Congratulations to Max who went on to play for the Hawke’s Bay U18 team and represented the school in the women’s league.

Junior Girls Basketball The Junior Girls’ basketball team was led by our two returning Year 10 students Briar McGrail-Timms and Leilani Williams. Added to this was an exciting mix of athletes, some of whom had only taken up basketball in Year 9 but were successful in other sports. The season started well with the team entered into Division 2 of the Hawke’s Bay Secondary Schools Basketball Championship. As we progressed through the first five weeks of games you could see the girls’ communication and basketball skills improving. This helped with the girls’ confidence to play hard and shoot the ball. Moving into Term 3, the girls’ ultimate goal was to go through the regular season unbeaten. Having achieved this, we knew we had some tough games coming up to reach the play-offs. The girls managed to win our quarter final, and semi-final games and this gave us the right to compete in the finals, a first for this young team. The final game was against Taradale High School, who had played really well against us earlier in the year. The girls’, however, were determined to finish on top and, with a huge defensive effort, really put the pressure on Taradale. The game was close at the half but we lifted our intensity in the 3rd and 4th quarters, and came away with a great team win. All the team played well and, again, were led by Briar and Leilani. The girls and coaching staff were over the moon with the win as it represented the hard work we had put in all year. It was a special year with this team of girls going unbeaten, winning 14 straight games. Also a special mention to our Bench officials - Shayleah Pritchard and William Wepa-Hazel for their commitment and great help in running the bench each Monday. It was really appreciated. Congratulations girls – Mr Crawford

NATIONALS This year’s National tournament has to be one of the toughest Nationals to date. The scores tell the truth with onepoint wins and losses, draws and golden goal crossovers and finals. However, Karamu performed to the best of their abilities both on and off the water throughout the weekend. Thanks must be given to the many whanau supporters, volunteers, helpers and the coaching and managing staff for the time and effort put into all the teams. Karamu can also be proud of the way the students conducted themselves and went above and beyond being Proudly Karamu, Proudly Hastings. Special mention to senior players Hannah Hunt and Andre Carter on their selections in the tournament teams. All the players are looking forward to a well earnt break over the next few weeks. Senior girls overall placed 5th and senior boys overall placed 3rd.

CLAY TARGET SHOOTING

2019 has been a year of triumph and trial for the clay target team. The team of Daniel Stuart, Cameron Spargo, Oliver Wiggins-Crowe, Max Crossan and Jesse Kereru started well with a win at Taupo in the Murray Luke Memorial competition. 200 secondary school competitors had arrived at Taupo for this prestigious trophy shoot. They followed this up with a win in round two of the Central & Lower North Island Series. The series involves over 60 secondary school competitors from Gisborne across to Taranaki and down to Wellington. Cameron Spargo had to miss one event while qualifying for the NZ Junior Universal Trench Team who will compete in Australia next year. Our congratulations to Cameron on this outstanding result. Cameron was second in the skeet for the series and was a member of the HB Clay Target team along with Mr Field which won the Gunn Cup, a regional interclub competition. Henry Wiggins-Crowe, younger brother to Oliver, stepped up to the main team to replace Cameron and performed solidly. Occasionally, Lakiya Neill shot for the main team with very credible results. The next trial for us came in the form of a rugby injury to Daniel Stuart. This put him out of action for the rest of the series and the National Championships. This meant that Daniel, the current North Island Single Rise champion, could not defend his title. Henry became a permanent member of the team. The remainder of the team still managed to gain second place over the whole series, beating strong teams from Palmerston North Boys’ High, Napier Boys High and Rathkeale. The outstanding shooter of this series was Oliver. For the second year running, he was the High Gun of the whole series, winning the McCormick cup. He also won the Dean Family cup in Point Score and the McLanachan Family cup in Single Barrel also for the second year running.

Another trial for the team was to hit just as we arrived in Hamilton for the Nationals in the form of a phone call from Oliver’s dad. Oliver was bed ridden, poleaxed by a virus and unable to get to Hamilton. His brother, Henry, was marooned in Hastings. The remaining three team members would have to battle on with hopes of a competitive team score a distant memory. Cameron, however, responded in the most positive way, going on to become the NZ Champion in Point Score and 2nd in Single Rise. He was selected for the HB regional team which won the NZ Fish & Game trophy, and the North Island team which won the interisland challenge. Cameron had the top score of the two teams. He followed this with a 4th place in the NZ skeet competition. This has been an outstanding year for Cameron who will join the other members of the Junior NZ Universal Trap team in Australia next year. Cameron is the 4th Karamu shooter to represent NZ along with Kirsten Birrell, James Fulford and Mitchel Davis. This team has been together for four years and formed strong bonds within the parents group who supported their sons with fundraising, transport and encouragement. Next year will see a rebuilding with the development squad of Henry WigginsCrowe, Alex Corbishley, Lakiya Neill, Sophie Maddox, Kaleb Bardell and Seb Theobald moving into full competition.

ORIENTEERING Orienteering is very strong in Hawke’s Bay and Karamu orienteers have had a busy year competing in regular club events as well as Hawke’s Bay and National interschool Championships. Starting in February, many students came along to try out orienteering in the local club summer sprint series which led up to the Hawke’s Bay Schools Sprint Championships in March. This event was held on a lovely Wednesday evening at Pakowhai Park, with 10 students running for Karamu. Our best results were Pierson Clement who was 8th in Intermediate Boys and Hamish Wood, 6th in Year 9 Boys. In May the HB Schools Individual Championships were held on the very wet, rolling farmland of Craggy Range with podium finishers being Caroline Glen (1st in Senior Girls Novice) and Cameron Orr (3rd in Intermediate Boys Standard). In the HB School Relay Champs at Arborfield, our Intermediate Boys team of Cameron, Pierson and Rory McKay were 6th. Hawke’s Bay hosted the NISS Champs in the July holidays and Rory, Cameron and Pierson competed in both the Sprint Championships at Te Aute College and the Individual Championships on the Hautope map. Such a big event is great experience for these orienteers and well done to Pierson with strong results in the Intermediate Boy’s Championship grade over both events. Pierson was our only representative at the NZSS Orienteering Championships hosted by Auckland’s North West Club in August. Again he ran well in very strong fields for mid-field finishes in both the IB sprint and long distance Championship events. A big thank-you to all students who have come along to club events and especially to those who have represented Karamu at the interschool events and, of course, the wonderful parents who have supported them.

CROSS COUNTRY Terms Two and Three are when interschool cross country events are held and, as usual, we had a group of keen Karamu students competing. In May we had two teams of four competing in the East Coast North Island Cross Country Relays run at Anderson Park, Havelock North. Our Junior Boys team was 6th and our Senior Boys team was 9th, with the best run of the day from Year 13 Ben Randle. Hamish Wood (Year 9) and Pierson Clement (Senior Boys) both travelled to Gisborne for the ECNI Cross Country Champs, and both had strong performances with a 15th and 21st placing respectively. The ECNI Road Race was held at Frimley Park in late August and our team of five all ran strongly with the best results on the day by Ruby Brett (5th in Senior Girls) and Hamish Wood (10th in Year 9 Boys). The road race was Ruby’s last cross country race for the school and we have been fortunate to have such a talented runner at Karamu. Ruby was Karamu’s first winner of an ECNI Road Race title when she won the Junior Girls event in 2016. This year injury has not allowed her to perform distance events at the level she has in the past, however, she is still a competitive runner and I thank her for her contribution to Karamu Cross Country.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH Gold

Since year 10, I’ve had some amazing experiences through Duke of Edinburgh Hillary award, with this year being no exception. All the hard work was really put to the test in Year 12 and this year, Year 13, whilst completing my Gold award. This included a year’s worth (52 hours) each of learning a skill (gaining my speech diploma), participating in a sport, (being part of the AUT path to podium gym programme), and completing some sort of service (volunteering at the Hawke’s Bay hospital). This programme has taught me the value of hard work like no other experience, and how not everything has an immediate pay off, but rather something you must work towards. The hard work was definitely made valuable by the adventurous journeys I’ve been able to participate in. Over the years these have included Sunrise Hut, Te Puia Springs (including the hot springs), Lake Waikaremoana, and kayaking through the Marlborough sounds. The connections and memories made on these trips are incomparable, and I’m so thankful to Mrs Van Rijk, Mr Wright and the other support staff who came on these trips that have made them possible.

Silver

Lucy McKay

The Marlborough sounds offers some of the most beautiful scenery in this country, with secluded coves, picturesque waters and an array of wildlife unparalleled to anywhere else I’ve been; this was the perfect destination for the 2019 DOE-Silver Trip. After an evening drive to Wellington we boarded the late-night ferry and attempted to get some sleep before tackling the sounds in the morning. This was made difficult by the droning of the ferry engine at a convenient 2am so, with bags the size of oranges under our eyes, we departed for the Kayak base at around 6am. After the briefings we were ready to head out onto the water; embarking at around 10am, we set off southward into the sounds along the west side, in order to avoid the wind (in theory). The weather did what it does best and changed – presenting us with a headwind that was responsible for the painful journey that ensued. With aching muscles, wet bums and a mission, we trucked forward, very conscious of how important it was to look after one another. The wind got to the point where if we stopped paddling, even for a mere 30 seconds, we floated backwards. The situation forced us to transform our frustrations into encouragement in order to rally our friends and co-kayakers on. Eventually, we made it to the point we were aiming for, crossed the sound (another challenge in and of itself) and relished in the calmer waters of Mistletoe Bay. The second day provided far better weather, which lifted our spirits. We could enjoy the environment more and take time to soak up the views. By then we were really getting the hang of things, our muscles adjusted to paddling. We were greeted by more great weather at Davies Bay, and arrived there earlier in the day, allowing for a scenic walk up to a lookout over the sounds. As we were crossing the sounds to head back home on the third day, Mr Wright with his attuned outdoor eyes spotted a pod of dolphins making their way past. We didn’t get too close but this was a first-time experience for many of us. The saturation of wildlife in the sounds was spectacular. Ultimately, this trip was a challenging one. It required perseverance, teamwork and an almost invincible work ethic. Every single one of us developed as a person, especially in the humility that comes with doing everything as a team – no one rushed ahead, everyone had a turn navigating and group decisions were ‘majority-rules’. It took discipline and will power to accomplish what we did, and thus the reward was sweeter. This trip was a wholesome experience, and one that I will cherish for a very long time!

Bronze

Keelan Heesterman

This year I was fortunate enough to go on the Bronze trip for the Duke of Edinburgh Hillary award. Friday afternoon we travelled via the school vans to Sunrise Hut carpark. With our bags over packed with stuff we would later discover we didn’t need, we walked to the hut at the base of the Ruahine range. As night fell, we set up our tents and began to cook our dinner. The wind whistled violently through the trees, as one by one we dozed off. In the morning we packed our gear into our packs and prepared for the hill that stood before us. We began to climb Sunrise Hut. Stopping every now and then to learn about the forest around us, the hours ticked by. Due to some problems (or “lemons” as Miss Van Rijk called them), we didn’t have time to reach the top, as we needed to be back at school by 3pm. We found a place to stop and learnt what to do if a bad lemon occurred. After a few practices of people pretending to get injured and us caring for them, we started our descent. The rest of the walk was mostly downhill, so we reached the bottom quickly. Excited to get the heavy packs off our shoulders, we jumped into the vans and headed back to school. I learnt some very valuable lessons throughout that trip and the whole Duke of Edinburgh Hillary experience. One section requires you to do at least 13 hours of volunteer work. I wasn’t doing anything before DoEH, but having this opportunity taught me a valuable lesson. You must work hard to get something you want, and you must keep your mind focused on the end goal. If I want to finish the award (Bronze, Silver and Gold), I will do at least 91 hours of volunteer work. That’s a lot of work, but I feel like it’s a good experience that will make me a better person. But at the end of it, I can say that I have completed the Duke of Edinburgh Hillary award. I did 91 hours of volunteer work; I can feel good about myself. This award has shown me that you’ve got to put in the hard work before you can get the reward.

SWIMMING SPORTS

FOOTBALL Girls’ Football Girls’ football this year for Karamu has been an absolute rollercoaster with some of the most exciting football we’ve played within the past five years. This year our XI walked into our season with new goals and new attitudes towards what our team was capable of achieving. We went into our season with the goal of top three and, although we ended up 4th on the table we definitely gave the complacent top three a much needed run for their money. Top four on the table is the highest us girls have been on the division 1 table in many years, and the girls were still proud to compete at such a high level. This league excitement was just the beginning of what our team would go on to achieve. Tournament week in Wellington became the dream run that no one expected. We started our first day off with two 4-0 wins and then we went on to have a loss and a draw. We were in the ‘pool of death’ as our coach Mr Rafferty would put it, and by our final pool game, the only thing between us and the top of the table was our local rival, Woodford. Our team managed to walk away with a 1-0 win and a new outlook on what we could achieve. This winning streak continued as we faced off Wanganui Collegiate on Thursday with a 4-1 win. The hustle wasn’t over yet for us girls and that afternoon we were really put to the test when our semi-finals were against Havelock North High, a team we haven’t won against in the past five years, but by this point, our team had forgotten the losses that we faced at home and we were ready to keep doing the unthinkable. The girls walked away from this game with another 4-1 win. I will never forget that moment when the final whistle blew and we did what no other Hawke’s Bay team had done. Made it to the finals. In finals, we faced an outstanding

Hutt Valley High side and we walked away with Silver. I would say that it’s a disappointing end to an incredible week but that’s not true, regardless of that final result, our girls played incredible football and challenged everything anyone had ever thought about Karamu football. I am so proud to have been able to captain this side, and the memory and feeling of walking out onto the pitch on that warm Friday morning continues to put a smile on my face. I was always told if you believe less, less is what you undoubtedly deserve, but this team never stopped believing. I can’t speak about this memorable season without acknowledging the time, effort, and support our coach Mr Rafferty (Raffers) put into our team and I know each of us girls are so grateful that he chose to coach us. Also a special thanks to Mrs Christian for being the camp mum that everyone needs and tournament would’ve have run as smoothly without your brilliant organization skills. #UPTHEMU Abigail Kilkolly

HOCKEY In 2019 Karamu High School fielded three Hockey teams. The Girl’s 1st XI were fortunate to have expertise of Deborah Parkinson as coach. Deborah and her daughter Jerree Waerea were generous with their time, taking the trainings early on Tuesday mornings. With a large number of junior players joining, the growth and development as a team throughout the season was fantastic. They finished the season placing 3rd in Division 2. As a young team, this is an achievement to be proud of and the future is looking bright for this team. The Boys 1st XI were also lucky to have the expertise of an outside coach, Ben Taylor, a former student of the school, and his father, Iain Taylor, umpired. The boys who are a young side developed well over the season. It was great to see a large contingent of parents on the sidelines supporting their sons week after week. The 2nd XI Girls team was a young side that grew together as a team over the season. Early morning practices in the cold and a new goalie every game allowed lots of opportunities to play different positions and become familiar with the game. Despite big early loses, the goal differential lessened as the season wore on and we started being competitive towards the end of the season in which the loses turned to wins. They were able to walk away with a sense of achievement.

It was an outstanding Ki o Rahi season for our Karamu teams. In Hawke’s Bay/ Ngāti Kahungunu Regional Competition we were able to field two teams with a mixture of both junior and senior students. This year Karamu worked very hard at our regional qualifying competition and were fortunate enough to make the top three to represent Hawke’s Bay/ Kahungunu at the Ki o Rahi National Competition. The Ki o Rahi National Competition heralds the top three teams in 12 regions from Aotearoa. The caliber was extremely high. This year our Karamu team made it to the top tier, which is the championship pool, the top eight schools vying for first place, a position we had always narrowly missed out on. In the end, out of 36 schools we placed 6th overall. Although it was not 1st we were very pleased with the result. Congratulations to Raegan Robinson for making the New Zealand Secondary Māori Secondary Team for the second time.

SOFTBALL It is best to start with a person who has been supporting our students to do their best. We had the pleasure of James Ngawhika Winning the the Bill Elers Memorial Cup this year. James has supported softball at Karamu High School for the past 4 years. Prior to this he has been heavily involved with coaching and supporting club softball in our local community. James has been instrumental in the resurgence of softball at Karamu High School. He is a valued member of our sc hool community. I appreciate that James and his whanau give up their time on Saturday to support our teams. He has a wealth of practical knowledge, experience and expertise. He is a huge advocate for the teams, players and the softball administrator of Karamu High School. I believe he is a worthy recipient of the “Bill Elers Trophy”. He is passionate about the game of Softball and a very important part of the Hawkes Bay Softball Community. Some of our outstanding results for the season are as follows. U15 Division 2 CHAMPIONS 2019 and in the final its was Karamu High School vs Lindisfarne with the final score 18-2 The other Teams in this Division were Lindisfarne, CHB, Woodford House, HGHS/NGHS)

NETBALL The 2019 Karamu High School netball season has yet again been successful. This year we had nine teams, of which eight played in the Saturday competition and one in the super 12 competition, which played on Tuesdays. For Karamu A, we started off strong making it to the top six in the first round but played against much more experienced and developed teams and we were then put into the middle grade and finished placing 8th. This year we finished two placings lower than our previous year. We were extremely happy to have three juniors in the team so we could develop their skills for future years to come. This team put in the hard work and persevered, not only physically and mentally on the netball court, but in trainings also. The Karamu A team has so much potential and we hope that in future years the team does not only maintain their position in the Super 12 competition but improves it’s placing. The Karamu senior B team (Tasman), had a very challenging season, placing 4th in the Saturday competition. Cook took out 1st place in their Saturday grade, which is a huge achievement. They also travelled to Palmerston North for the Mike Pero Manawatu Junior School Tournament where they faced some hard teams but, despite that, still managed to come out with 2nd place - very impressive. A huge thank you to all the coaches and managers this year. We couldn’t have done it without your hard work and commitment to our teams. Thank you for all the extra hours you put in to help improve our players’ skills and fortitude to better their best. A huge thank you to all the parents that come down in all weather conditions to be our sideline support. We really appreciate it and netball would not have been possible without your help To all our players: well done on the challenging season. You were all amazing and should be proud of yourselves! Keep up all the hard work and trainings and we look forward to seeing you at next year’s trials. -Timara Stevens-Lett (Karamu A player) 2019

STUDENT COUNCIL The student council is an initiative to help share ideas, interests and concerns around the school through the students across all year groups. Our council meetings are the place where we discuss the suggestions and decide on the best way to move forward. As Year 10 councillors we have created a suggestion box. The suggestion box has a home in the library where the students can write their issues or queries. This is an easy way for our peers to contact us and even write anonymously. Our emails are also available, and we are happy to chat in person. As students we think the council is a great way to communicate between the student body and school management.

OUTWARD BOUND It was an absolute privilege to travel to Anakiwa and partake in the Outward Bound course with Corbyn Te Whaiti. We spent 21 days challenging ourselves mentally and physically and gained so much from it. From the stunning daily views and wild outdoor activities to the relationships we made with a bunch of new people, everything was thoroughly enjoyable. We spent our time tramping, sailing, kayaking, rock climbing, reflecting and more. Each activity taught something different to the last, and on behalf of everyone who participated I can say we all developed so much as individuals!

VOLLEYBALL Another great couple of seasons of Volleyball in 2019. Senior teams did well in the first term and the juniors have showcased some promising talent in the fourth term. The Mixed team had a lot of fun in the Boy Division, playing against a range of Hawke’s Bay Boys teams. The Social Girls did well with great internal (quiet) team spirit, thank you Miss Poirier for looking after us. The Intermediate Girls had a lot of trainings and developed some great play throughout the season, finishing strong. The Junior Season in Term 4 was a big term for our five Junior Teams. Mr Weber stepped up as a coach for the Year 9 team and his influence was evident in their confidence and positive attitude. Even when the games did not go their way, they were positive and enjoyed the season. The other Year 9 and Year 10 Girls team had a mixed season but enjoyed every game and had some good wins. The Junior A Boys were coached by Verona Sio and they played in division 1. Their climb to the top of the rankings was down to their hard work and determination to do their best. They responded to hard work and long training schedules and two of the team, Jared Anderson and Jakob Matthews, made the Hawke’s Bay U16 team. The Junior B Girls had a successful season finishing in the top of the junior competition, they also had success with three girls making the Hawke’s Bay U16 team, Paia Williams, Lelani Williams and Harmony Kautai all representing the region. They were coached by Thelma Vilo. All this would not be possible without the support of a range of staff who drive every week. Thank you.

ANZAC DAY ANZAC Day on 25 April marks an important commemoration of those who fought in WWI and all wars New Zealand has been engaged in since. This year, the event took on a special meaning as 2018 marks the 100th year since Armistice, the official end of the ‘Great War’. Although Armistice was not to be commemorated until the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month (11th November), our School Leaders represented Karamu on ANZAC morning this year at the Dawn Parade. They marched to the Hastings cenotaph with returned servicemen and servicewomen, Scouts and other school groups. As is our tradition, we gather to commemorate, or share our memories. For this generation, we fortunately have no memories of war, but appreciate the experiences of some of the people who attended and spoke at the dawn ceremony. The memorial attracted many people. It was a moving event.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.

MATHEMATICS FACULTY REPORT 2019 The 2019 academic year started strongly with our teachers continuing the brand-new learning program to the Year 10 students with an emphasis on the interconnectedness of the many ideas in mathematics and the fostering of long-term learning. Throughout the year, our senior students gained results and success in NCEA and a new group of Year 12 students started their journey towards Scholarship Calculus. Every year, Karamu High School is asked by Hastings Intermediate to be judges for the Mathletics competition. Each judge is responsible for two teams of three primary or intermediate school students. It gives an opportunity for same of our students to give back to the community, return to familiar haunts and meet potential students for

Karamu High School. The faculty is proud of this tradition and every year we gladly send 25 potential leaders from the senior school to participate in the event.

The Faculty of Mathematics/Ko te Pangarau is very

pround of what we offer students both in and outside

of the classroom. As with students, our learning never stops as we continually trying to find ways to improve

the learning experience of our ākonga. We are looking forward to the changes in 2020 with the addition of 3

new members to the Faculty, due to the retirement and movement of 3 long-time serving teachers, and the

ongoing development of the learning program for the Year 9 and Year 10 to foster long-term learning.

SCIENCE FACULTY REPORT 2019 Another year has passed and we can be satisfied that our industrious Science Department has nurtured and supported our students on their way to achieving not only academic distinction, but also success in a wide range of activities outside the classroom. Our trips to the National Aquarium and the Holt Planetarium allow us to integrate local resources into our teaching programs.

Some of our Y10 students had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with local Iwi on the Te Awa Rivers Project while our entire Y9, with the support of the Hawke’s Bay District Council, carried out some environmental assessments at the Ahuriri Estuary. The biennial Science Europe Trip saw 18 students spend 21 days in 4 different countries, including visiting the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva. Romona Wainohu (Y12) got accepted into the Biology Olympiad Training tutorial group. We had a record 37 Karamu students enter projects in the Hawke’s Bay Science Fair, gaining 17 awards. Notably, Lexi Trotter (Y12), was awarded Best in Fair and a scholarship to

116

attend the “Hands on Otago” university experience. She was also nominated as a candidate for this year’s Prime Minister’s Science Award. We are particularly proud as this is the second time in the last 3 years that a Karamu student has been nominated for this prestigious award. Our Y12 and Y13 welcomed back a number of ex-Karamu students who shared their experiences. This included attending the New Zealand Air Force training academy, Auckland University’s Engineering School and the Bio Medical Sciences Faculty. 2020 is going to be especially busy for our Science teachers as they prepare to implement the new changes to the Level 1 NCEA curriculum. The NZQA’s “Change Package” has implications that will alter not only the content of the Science curriculum but also its delivery to our learners, over the next three years. The department relish’s the challenge and is looking forward to working closely with our school’s senior leadership team to gain the most from the proposed changes.

HAWKES BAY SCIENCE FAIR Karamu High School continued its tradition of record number of entries for the Hawke’s Bay Science Fair, with over 50 students this year competing in a range of science related competitions. The Seriously Fun Science Quiz involves a team of three students answering eight rounds of science related questions. This event is hosted at Karamu by the Science Faculty. EIT host three of the competitions, the Technology Challenge which is a hands-on competition where students work as a team using simple materials to solve problems; the Titration Challenge, which is a senior competition where students put their quantitative chemistry skills learnt in the classroom in to practice identifying a mystery substance; and the pinnacle event is the Project Section where the goal is for students to answer a question based on a hypothesis by using the scientific method. This work is mostly completed outside the classroom over several weeks. Our greatest success came in the project section where we had 17 winners including Lexi Trotter, Year 12, taking the Best Senior Project and Best Application of Scientific Method. Other Outstanding Project winners were Lena Ormsby, Charlotte and Megan Orr from Year 9, and Paige Flashoff, Keelan Heesterman and Kade Lindsay from Year 11. Congratulations to all our winners and we look forward to another successful year in 2020.

THE ARTS DRAMA

It has been another action packed year for the Drama Department.

SENIOR DRAMA Level 2 and 3 Drama ‘Daughters of Heaven’ In term one, the senior drama class performed Daughters of Heaven, a dramatised version of the 1954 Parker-Hulme murder case. The play was a lot of work and the cast rehearsed nonstop to do justice to the story. It was interesting to learn the history behind the murder, and then have an opportunity to do our own take on it. Making our own decisions about the characters was tough knowing they are real people, most of whom are still alive. However, overall the cast enjoyed the challenge and we were able to put on a good show. Jessica Shoemark We visited the Napier Prison as inspiration for our Devised Dramas at the beginning of term 2. We also had the pleasure of seeing Red Leap’s Production of Kororareka at the MTG theatre. In term 3 we studied Epic Theatre and presented scenes from the play ‘Children of the Poor.’

Drama Scholarship: Scholarship Drama is an NZQA exam that Year 12 and 13’s can choose to take to extend themselves in the subject. It involves three pieces, scripted, self-devised and improvisation that all

118

require analysis. This year, three karamu students took part of the exam, Jessica Shoemark, Jamie Hollway and Jack Garvey. To help us prepare for the exam, drama students and teachers from around Hawkes’ Bay for a workshop and sharing of work. This familiarised us with the requirements of the exam and then allowed us to give and get feedback about our pieces. Both events were invaluable to our performances, and we are all very thankful for the experiences. Thanks to Havelock High School and Napier Girls’ for hosting the events, Amy Edwards from NGHS for co-ordinating and all drama teachers and students involved. Jamie Hollway

LEVEL 1 DRAMA Anne Frank and Me A highlight for the 2019 Level 1 Drama class this year was taking part in this year’s class play “Anne Frank and Me” written by Cherie Bennett under the direction of Year 13 student, Georgia Goodsell. The entire class enjoyed the experience of being in “Anne Frank and Me.” We all bonded together and it’s because of this experience, we’re more of a family as opposed to a class. It allowed us not only to gain theatrical experience, but we gained historical knowledge. Personally, I will take the experiences and lessons learnt from “Anne Frank and Me” and apply them to future endeavours. -Ethin Templeton.

ShowQuest Every second year, KHS is involved in a performance competition. This is a great opportunity for Dancers, Actors, Singers, Designers, Techies, Musicians and anybody with love for the performing arts to come together to produce and perform a piece that Karamu can be proud of. This year, for the first time, we were involved in ShowQuest, a performing arts platform for schools, consisting of a nationwide series of events produced by Rockquest. A group of seniors came together early in the year to come up with a narrative, which was then put into action by choreographers, designers and directors. Our piece this year was called “Without a smile”, about a young boy and his experiences with depression and opening up about it with his family. By using the everyday activity of watching T.V as a family, we portrayed the boy’s emotions and thoughts through dance on the ‘T.V screen’. Karamu won the ‘theme’ award with this this performance. Jamie Hollway

The Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festival is

an annual festival where schools perform scenes from Shakespeare’s plays. Earlier in the year two teams from Karamu participated in this festival. One team performed a student directed five-minute extract from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the scenes where the lovers plan their escape to the forest. The other team performed a teacher directed ten-minute modern adaption of Othello.

The Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival Ambassador Programme. Karamu was proud to have three students involved in the Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival this year. The Ambassadors faced their first challenge on the 24th of September, this being the Festival of Youth. Twenty primary and intermediate schools from around Hawke’s Bay participated in this festival. Each ambassador was given a school to manage for the day. This was an amazing opportunity for us as we were able to connect with the youth in Hawke’s Bay and also experience the stress and excitement of running a festival. Part of being a Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival Ambassador is getting to perform in the festival. Daniel wrote our play titled “Beneath the Surface” inspired by Shakespeare. The Ambassadors were also given the opportunity to watch numerous shows in the festival and were also able to have discussions with some of the performers in the festival. Overall, being a Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival Ambassador was a thrilling opportunity. We all learnt about the arts industry and how to be better performers and at the same time we also learnt a lot about ourselves. Georgia Goodsell

Both teams had an enjoyable time putting the performances together and participating in this festival. Georgia Goodsell

Halloween Heroes

THEATRE TECHNOLOGY

On the 31st of October, a crayon, a businessman, two nuns and a monk, among others, took on 700 kids racing the Halloween hunt track. Just after 6:00, the kids took off running and after that, it was nonstop for the rest of the night. After an hour and a half of ‘pin the hat on the witch’, the kids were exhausted. So were we. A hectic but rewarding experience I can’t wait to return next year.

Dare to Devise Competition held October 18th to 20th October

Arts Evening The Level 1 Drama students: Paige Flashoff, Emily Brookes, Cypress Miller, Sam Robertson and Jocelyn Love present a Melodrama called ‘A Letter to the Wind’.

‘As you Like It’ Georgia Goodsell and Brooke Hemmings are Ambassadors for the Hawkes Bay Arts’ Festival. They performed an extract extract from ‘As you Like It’.

Open Night The Improv Club entertained prospective students at Open Night giving them a taste of Drama at Karamu.

JUNIOR DRAMA Year 10 The year 10 students performed the court room Drama Porky Pies to an appreciative audience.

Year 9 The students worked co-operatively to devise and perform plays using the Techniques of Drama.

Two teams from the Karamu Junior school entered the 48 Hour Dare to Devise competition which was held last weekend. The students were given 4 elements to include in their Devised Drama on Friday afternoon and by Sunday evening they had to have created a play to perform at the Little Theatre in Napier. Both teams demonstrated all our WELCOME values throughout the weekend and at the performance. The organiser said that were ‘amazing students’ and an absolute credit to the school. The team ‘Dramatic Dragonflies’ received an award for the Most creative use of Dialogue and the team called ‘Starfish’ received an award for The Funniest Moment in a play. Team members: “Dramatic Dragon Flies’ : Jess Webb, Jorja Wigzell, Amy-Rose Costello and Tyler Heesterman ‘Starfish”: Krystal Mathews, Cody Baker, Corey Sullivan, and Anna- Lysse Richards

Improv Club Two senior Drama students Jessica Shoemark and Jack Garvey showed wonderful leadership skills in the running of the very popular Improv Club this year. An improvisation is a form of drama created spontaneously by the actors onstage. It aims to be funny, thrilling and most importantly, make sense. The club includes students from year 9-13 and is a great way to release energy after a long day at school. This year we are sending seven of our top improvers to compete in the impromptu games. The ‘brunch club’ have been working hard for the last term training for a shot at the infamous troll trophy. Jessica Shoemark

Performing Arts Tour Wellington is renowned for being the Arts hotspot in New Zealand so having the 2019 Performing Arts Tour there was the perfect combination of learning, inspiration and so much fun. We toured many arts facilities and places to study after school such as Toi Whakaari, Massey Creative Arts Centre and Te Auaha as well as a healthy dose of retail therapy. Needless to say, there was something for everyone. We had a tour through Toi Whakaari which is one of the most prestigious performing arts schools in the country. This was followed by another great tour of Massey University Creative Arts Centre. It was a very modern, high-tech place which offered a lot for anyone wanting a career in arts or media. That evening we got ready for the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. We dressed to the nines and had a magical experience listening to some of New Zealand’s finest classical musicians. We also attended a fabulous Matariki festival on the Oriental Bay waterfront. There were lights, music and action everywhere you looked, and it proved a great photo location. It was great to get a front row seat on some great performances enriched with culture. At Weta Workshops we saw real props used in Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and many other Sir Peter Jackson films. We finished with a prosthetics demonstration where we got some very realistic wounds, amplified with fake blood, on our hands. Ella Lindsay-Smith

MUSIC 2019 This year has been another wonderful success for the Music department. As we do every year, we have participated in many community performances, competitions and school events. Some new events this year were a visit from some of the tutors of Otago University’s Performing Arts Faculty. This visit gave the senior music students an opportunity to perform in a masterclass environment and receive feedback from internationally experienced performers. This was a hugely valuable tool for those students completing the performance aspect of the Music courses as they were able to use this feedback to improve their performances for assessment. We were very fortunate to have been accepted as a participant in the NZ Music Commission’s Music Mentor Program which provides a professional NZ musician to be a mentor for our students in the music class. We had APRA Silver Scroll winner Thomas Oliver spend the day with our senior students working on songwriting and discussing the ‘where to after school’ question. His experience and advice were of great value to our students and gave them more confidence in their abilities. We had many performances in the community which allowed us to demonstrate the diversity of our musical performance abilities. We took a group of senior students to perform at the Havelock North Community Centre, Coro Notabile participated in the Big Sing competition, a selection of instrumentalists and vocalists provided a lunchtime concert for Summerset in the Orchard and a number of our groups performed as part of the St Matthew’s Blossom week concert series. Our junior program in the music department focusses on the aspect of performance. To reinforce the skills required for this to develop we had a visit from Australian percussion duo ‘Kaboom’. They visited our school and performed a show for all junior music students and then held two classroom workshops. These were great interactive fun which got the students tapping, clapping and stomping. In summary, it has been another busy and rewarding year for the music department and plans are well underway for even more exciting musical events in 2020. Watch this space! Amanda Cooper

DANCE

Dance workshop – Karamu

High School Dance Aotearoa New Zealand (DANZ), with support from Hawkes Bay Arts Festival brought, ‘A Taste of Tu Move’ to our school. A lot of students turned up and participated in this fantastic workshop of hip-hop, street and contemporary dance. The graduates of the New Zealand School of Dance who ran the workshop were amazing. School Based Performances – Karamu High School Performance Assessment Evenings - In term 1 our year 10 – 13 dance students performed for family and friends. Performing in front of a large audience was a new experience for many of the students and they did so well. The student performed set dances and also their own creative choreography. Open night – It was a beautiful calm night to perform in the circle. The Level 1 students performed their vibrant Havana dance, a lively Indian dance and their contemporary dance “Hope”. The students received lots of positive feedback which was wonderful. Arts Faculty Evening – our senior students performed an Indian dance and Jennifer Boyd and Amber Bisley performed a beautiful interpretation of the contemporary dance “Hope”. The Karamu High School Dance NZ Made team also performed their stunning contemporary dance.

Dance NZ Made – Hawkes Bay

Nationals Regionals and Palmerston North On Monday the 5th of August, a team of eight passionate dancers headed over to the Napier Municipal Theatre for the Dance NZ Made 2019 Interschool Competition. We had one team entered into the Open Division, for teams that have students from year 9 through to year 13, which included Thea Morton (y12), Sarah Weaver (y12), Jennifer Boyd (y11), Kate Weaver (y10), Maia Bassett (y10), Nikita Steffert (y10), Lena Ormsby (y9) and was choreographed and organised by Erika Balestie Diaz (y12). The dance was executed with precise timing and passion from all of the girls. The team placed second overall in the Open Category.This was an excellent result for the school and the girls, as they qualified for the National competition as well, being the second highest scoring team of the night. Also competing in the Year 10 solo competition, Maia Bassett placed first in her category and was also selected as one of the three nominees from all the soloists that performed who will go on to represent Hawkes Bay at Dance NZ Made Nationals. In September, the dancers travelled down to Palmerston North and performed at the Nationals. The Karamu team performed against many other talented teams and our dancers should be extremely proud of their performance. Maia Bassett performed her unique solo beautifully. Thanks to supportive families and teachers.

EDIBLE FASHION AWARDS After months of anticipation, the Edible Fashion Awards arrived. This event encourages creators and designers of all ages to participate. Each design entered must be made of food, food packaging or food related items. These awards are in their 16th year, and are held at the Peak Vision Church in Havelock North. This year there were some changes to the event, as in previous years there was just one theme, but this year all age groups had different sub themes under the main theme of WILD. This year the senior category (Years 9 - 13) had the theme of “Wild Future”.

modelled moving on the runway. Following this judging, the finalists were selected. In the senior category, there were initially twentyone entrants, from these ten finalists were chosen. Of these ten, six were from Karamu, a great representation of our school. Six made it through to the finals of the Senior Design Category.

While the event was only on for two days, the designs entered take months of planning and preparation. In my case, I started collecting materials in December 2018. The materials I was working with required drying, flattening and storing to ensure they stayed dry. I am sure that many other designers also started to work on their outfits months before the event.

Abigail McEvoy with ‘Techno Takeover’

As with any design process, my outfit evolved. As I started to work with the material, changes were made as it became clear that there were more efficient ways of design and construction. While I worked on my design at home, I know some of the other participants from our school made use of the fabric room after school to design and assemble their outfits with the support and guidance of our fabric teacher, Mrs Julie Burn.

Jorja Fryer was placed 3rd in the senior design category and won the ‘Keep Hastings Beautiful’ Award.

The awards event is run over two days following many months of preparation. All designs were judged on the runway with a static display where the judges could talk to designers and models about the outfits. A second judging then took place with the designs

The finalists had to return for the sold-out show on Saturday night, following a dress rehearsal on Saturday afternoon. As well as all the finalists showing off their designs, there were performers including dancers, acrobats, and singers, making the event very popular, and well known in the Hawke’s Bay region. With a mainly young group of talented designers, the future looks promising for next year’s competition. Grace Sayer

CAREERS The Careers Department offers many different opportunities to discover work related experiences. There are work experiences within the Gateway programme whereby a student spends one day a week with an employer in their area of interest. We also have a group called ‘Incubator’ where we take students to the hospital to showcase a variety of health careers. For those wanting experience in customer service roles, we have programmes based at ‘The Warehouse’ and ‘Countdown’. We also offer students the opportunity to do a barista certificate which can help students get jobs in hospitality. We also take students on many trips to expose them to different areas such as the horticultural expo, farming day out and open days at universities and EIT.

ENGLISH FACULTY 2019 It has been another busy year in the English department. We were very lucky to welcome new staff members, Claire Woodhall and Tom Willis into our department at the start of the year. We have all appreciated Mr Willis’ interesting and varied examples of cheese cutter caps. One of the memorable things from this year were the awesome waka hoi the Year 9 students created as part of their introduction to Karamu. The students created beautiful paddles, decorated with colours and symbols that signified their ‘journey’ in education so far. They also shared words and phrases that were important to them. Photos of the students with their waka hoi were then emailed to their whanau with a wee note to accompany it. These colourful paddles have decorated our English classrooms for the whole year; a daily reminder of the students’ first year at high school. Another memorable unit of work was the Haiku unit that the year 9s did. This was a challenging and at times hilarious exercise. Ensuring that the three line poem both made sense and fitted into the 5 – 7 – 5 syllable pattern was tough, but some students really excelled. Karamu continues to produce a large number of fabulous and successful public speakers. This year, Year 13s Rachel Torreno won the regional Race For Unity speech competition; beating at least 15 of Hawke’s Bay’s best young orators to take out the win. She was also the winner of the local Lion’s speech competition. Abigail Killkoly also took out regional honours, winning the RSA speech competition with a thought-provoking speech about the impact of the war on women. She was then invited to present this speech at the RSA Anzac day celebrations. One of our young writers, Izabella Hancz, in Year 9 had a story called ‘Runaway’ published in A Journal for Young Writers and Artists – Toitoi. Being published so young bodes well for Izabella’s future as a writer. So, onwards and upwards towards next year. We welcome back Mr Cummins from paternity leave and farewell Mrs Price; temporarily, for her years leave. As a department we’re already planning all sorts of new, fun things to do with our fresh cohort of Year 9 students for 2020.

BUSINESS STUDIES Year 9 and 10 Social Studies continues to be a popular core subject area for many students. The topics are well received with Savage Earth at Year 9 and Human Rights at Year 10 being two of the most popular topics to learn about. Year 9 students were again able to visit the Napier Aquarium and MTG as part of their study of the Savage Earth to look at the causes and impacts of the 1931 Hawke’s Bay Earthquake. At the Aquarium, students had a hands on opportunity to create a tsunami in the tsunami tank, cause liquefaction and watch the effects on model cars. At the MTG students visited the 1931 Earthquake gallery filled with preserved items from this day and had a walking tour of the nearby streets and Soundshell area to look at the new Art Deco buildings that were constructed in the rebuild of Napier. Group work and creative model making opportunities were encouraged this year and we had a focus on writing paragraphs to help the transition from the junior school into NCEA where thinking of and writing an answer is a necessary skill. The teachers were all very pleased with the progress students made with their writing.

GEOGRAPHY On Tuesday 18th June, the Level One Geography class headed out to the beach as part of a research project on the Napier Coastline. We made four different site visits to conduct collection of data that included changing sediment size, wave types, beach profiles and how people interact with the coast. We had great weather and conditions for the day and had a lot of fun. The Level 2 Geographers took to the skies this year to complete their data gathering for a research project looking into River Environments within Hawkes Bay. At the river sites, students tested for a variety of things to help determine the overall health of the river and then had a birds eye view of the landscape from flights across the Bay to note human activities taking place in the catchment areas that might contribute to changing water quality. It has been a great experience to take learning to such great heights! From Thurs 16th - Sat 18th May the Level Three Geographers headed up to Auckland as part of a study of Muriwai Beach. Students spent time collecting a range of data from different sites along this wild west coastline. The weather was typically Auckland. Rain then sun, warm then cold, calm then windy. But with the tide on its way out - the class had the opportunity to explore some of the key features this part of the coast had to offer.

In April of this year, a group of 16 students accompanied by Mrs McDonald and Mr Rafferty set off on a three-week journey across Europe.

the New Zealand Memorial in Hyde Park Corner where we saw flowers laid in commemoration of the victims of the Christchurch mosque attack.

Our first stop on our adventure was six days in London. From the moment we landed it was all go. London is an amazing city, where historic buildings and modern giants stand side by side. We were lucky enough to visit many of these landmarks such as the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, the Monument to the Great Fire of London, Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Globe Theatre and, of course, Buckingham Palace. We also visited the Shard, the London Eye, Big Ben, History, National Art and V&A museums. We came across

With a quick trip on the Eurostar, we arrived in Paris, the city of love and the city of light. Three days to explore the Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Elysees and the Sacre-Coeur, these were definite highlights of our time in Paris. Of course, while we were there we had to go see the iconic Eiffel Tower. However, the defining memory of Paris is the day Notre Dame Cathedral went up in flames. We were there only hours before, admiring this historical building with its medieval architecture and stained glass windows.

After a long bus ride, we found ourselves in the medieval town of Rothenberg ob der Tauber, Germany. The village was charming and quaint, encircled by a timeless wall filled with colourful buildings and cobblestone lanes. Rothenberg is a place where even the most avid Christmas hater will fall in love as its spirit is immersed throughout the town. While in Germany we also visited the Nazi rally grounds in Nuremberg and the Dachau concentration camp. This was a very sombre but moving experience and gave us all an insight into the horror of war. Our last few days were spent in Munich, where we visited the BMW museum and celebrated Easter.

historical monuments such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon,

Trevi fountain, Piazza Navona, Spanish Steps and the Vatican City. Lastly, we visited the beautiful renaissance building of the Roman Catholic church, St Peter’s Basilica.

After a long trip home, we were all very tired but extremely

grateful for this experience and the memories we created. A huge thank you goes to Mrs McDonald and Mr Rafferty for becoming our substitute parents and providing us with this rare opportunity.

The final destination of our trip was Rome. We visited several
