WELCOME TO THE 2018 MAHURANGI COLLEGE YEARBOOK WHICH I AM SURE YOU WILL ENJOY READING THROUGH AND REMINDING YOURSELF OF HOW ENJOYABLE AND SUCCESSFUL THIS YEAR HAS BEEN. LAST YEAR'S NCEA RESULTS WERE AGAIN WELL ABOVE NATIONAL AND DECILE 7 PASS RATES AT ALL LEVELS AND IT WAS PLEASING TO BE ABLE TO AWARD A RECORD 109 ACADEMIC BLUES THIS YEAR FOR STUDENTS WHO GAINED EXCELLENCE ENDORSEMENTS IN NCEA LAST YEAR, (ie 5O OR MORE CREDITS AT EXCELLENCE). The year has featured many wonderful cultural performances and activities. The Performing Arts Academy continued to mentor and support our top performing artists; various school musical groups have represented the school very well within the wider community; the school’s Momentum Dance Company has gone from strength to strength; it has been thrilling to see the growth in poetry within the school, highlighted by a beautiful

poem about his Kiribati heritage by Matang Teakin and a powerful poem by Coco Bone about her heritage, which she read at the Cultural Blues evening; and two of our entries again made it through XS XLI REXMSREP ǨREPW SJ XLI -RXIVREXMSREP Silent Film Festival. At the Cultural Blues evening 30 blues were awarded to students who had achieved outstandingly well this year in

The Southern Paprika Award was awarded to Kotua Kotua; the Performing Arts Person of the Year was Brody Buer; and the Cultural Person of the Year award went to Emily Martin. There have been many sporting highlights throughout the year, including the Senior Girls’ Under Water Hockey Team winning the national

JUNIOR COUNCILS REP Being the Junior and Middle School council rep has been an amazing opportunity for me to get to know our younger students and form a connection with them, helping them to grow into young leaders of the school. The councils have continued to focus on the environmental issues; the Junior council coming up with a new initiative to encourage people to stop littering. We also had a very successful talent show at the end of Term 2. The Junior council has started a community and peer love project in assembly, showing short videos of people complimenting others around school to start to give the school an overall warmer outlook. This year has been enlightening for me to work with such young students striving to achieve so much change within our school and GSQQYRMX] -ǄQ WS JEWGMREXIH XS WII [LIVI XLI] KS MR XLIMV JYXYVIW and how the future of Mahurangi College grows through the years.

We even have two trumpet players who are in Year 3! The Cultural prefects help out during practices before school on Wednesdays and Period 5 on Fridays. This band has been steadily growing all year and we hope to be even bigger in 2019! Our most exciting experience has been combining with the Stage Band during the Cultural Blues to perform the music from Star Wars. The Stage Band meet on Wednesday after school and have been working on a piece which has been arranged by one of our Year 11 students, Maxwell Meale. We will be continuing with this work in 2019. During May NZ Music month we supported two organisations by visiting and playing. They were the Warkworth Public Library where Jasper (trombone) Leah (trumpet), &VMEV ǩYXI ERH 7EKI EPXS WE\STLSRI demonstrated their instruments and played for the children. Later that month we visited Oak Tree Learning Centre with Michaela on guitar as well and joined in with the children there. At the end of June we had a Music Showcase Evening in the hall to entertain parents and show them what a lot of our musicians had been learning and practising. The evening included the bands, singers and our sax ensemble. A lot of our success has been the result of the help given by our awesome itinerant music teachers who always support the students on their instruments and the music groups we have. The rock band Live Wire performed excellently at the Smokefree Rock Quest with Aniwa and Kaea Heke winning vocalists awards for their talents. There have been other events such as the :EYPXW .EQ IZIRMRKW EX XLI 0IMKL 7E[QMPP with our students involved, the open mic nights at the Matakana and the Kowhai Festival at the Tahi Bar with our own indie band The Mangroves performing, just to name a few.

This programme aims to help students grow as artists by providing them with opportunities that they might not have had otherwise. This year students have attended workshops by industry professionals such as Massive Theatre Company and Anna Coddington (NZ Music Commission Musicians Mentoring in Schools Programme). Students have enjoyed attending a range of performances and have seen the work of The New Zealand Dance Company, New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, New Zealand Opera and international percussion group Deabru Beltzak this year. The highlight of this year was their trip to Warkworth School, where the students performed a show they had devised themselves from scratch. The students were commended on their high level of skill and on their maturity when answering the questions that the younger students asked them during a Q&A session after their performance. This trip helped to reinforce the links between our schools and it was good for our students to see the impact they can have on the next generation coming through.

The very high standard of shooting from the Mahu students was commented on by the National Archery president at the prize giving after the event. All students received a medal for their achievements, but Cory and Kartini also walked away with fantastic prizes of a compound bow, a quiver of arrows and even their own target. This was our best result to date and with the very good junior talent we currently have participating on Friday afternoons in the gym and moving through the ranks, prospects continue to look very good for the future. Thank you to Mrs Bev Tennant (manager), Dr Lynette Hudson (event coordinator) and Mr Keith Tennant (coach) for the time taken to coach and manage these students during term 2 and 3.

Basketball Basketball continues to show steady growth adding another team to our usual roster and a resurgence of interest from the girls in the school. Three teams, the Flames, Lions & Magic played on Monday afternoons in the Stanmore Bay based competition. Five teams, U15BL2, U17BL3, U17BL2, Open Men & Open Women played in the Harbour leagues based at the North Shore Events Centre. The results in their respective competitions were: U15BL2 22nd of 31, U17BL3 5th of 12, U17BL2 3rd of 13, Open Men 8th of 12 and Open Women 3rd of 5.

Both our senior teams played in the inter-school exchanges with Mt Roskill Grammar School and Hauraki Plains High School, unfortunately without recording a win, although the boys came within a bucket of tipping over Hauraki Plains. The school wishes to thank and acknowledge the contribution of our parent coaches Bevan Sterling and Matt 8E[LEMS ERH WXEÇ§ GSEGLIW &IZER /MRK Michael Winiana and Russell Stirling.

winners are undoubtedly outstanding in their VIWTIGXMZI ǨIPHW To be eligible for the Sportswoman and Sports-man awards we look for a student who has had excellent commitment and sportsman-ship, and the right attitude. Nominees need to have been involved in a wide range of sporting activities both in and out of school, and need to have achieved in their sports or shown they have participated

to a high level. The criteria for these awards are demanding, but we are proud to say that many of our students meet these year after year. Sport is alive and well at Mahurangi College, and we look forward to seeing what these top performers go on to achieve in future.
