Term Three has been notable for successes across a wide range of endeavours including the ball at the start of the last term break (with 270 beautiful people in attendance), sport, Robotics and curriculum opportunities including Dance, Music and Hospitality.

We are thrilled that the first house that we have built to market, has been sold, and look forward to completing this home for the family who has purchased it.

The term has been complete with international success which touches close to home too, with Jackson Industries playing a significant part in Team New Zealand’s success in the America’s Cup through the manufacture of rudders, foils and parts of the wing. Former student Jim Jackson contributes to so many things in our community locally and globally; he continues to be a local champion especially through his leadership of TOES.

Student Achievement• In June, Maliana Siulangapo 13Ab was placed second in the

Young Speechmaker competition organised by Lions Club International, to celebrate Youth Achievement. Participants were aged between 17 and 21 years and were required to deliver a 5-6 minute prepared speech plus a 2 minute impromptu speech. Maliana’s speech was a call to us all not to stereotype, particularly not to stereotype Pasifika people; as well a challenge to Pasifika people to continue to achieve success and blow such negative stereotypes out of the water.

HPV Vaccination InformationHaving the HPV vaccination helps prevent cancers caused by HPV virus. HPV infection can cause cancer in men and women. HPV stands for human papilloma virus, a group of very common viruses that infect about four out of five people at some time in their lives. HPV causes cells to grow abnormally, and over time, these abnormalities can lead to cancer, especially cervical cancer, mouth and throat cancer, and penile and anal cancer.

Since 2008, the HPV vaccine has been offered to girls at school in Year 8, at no cost. As a result of this vaccination programme the rates of cervical cancer have decreased dramatically.

From 1 January 2017 the HPV vaccine is now funded for everyone aged 9 – 26 years. From now on the vaccine will be offered to girls and boys through participating schools at Year 8. HPV vaccine is available at all doctors’ practices from 9 years of age at no cost.

It means that boys who are currently in Years 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 and those up to 26 years of age are now eligible to get this vaccine for free. However, because they are past Year 8, it means they need to go to a doctor to get it.

To find out more about HPV immunisation talk to your doctor, practice nurse or health clinic or call the free helpline 0800 IMMUNE (0800 466 863) or go to www.health.govt.nz

Artist: Robyn KahukiwaTitle: Mana Wahine IIMedium: Screen PrintSize: 370mm x 560mm

Included amongst our Print Art Collection here at Onehunga High School is a group of artworks I like to refer to as “the hidden gems”. These are the smaller prints in the collection that surprise you when turning a corner in some part of the school that is dark and on the fringes.

“Mana Wahine II” is a small work with large power. The carved- like central female figure in the print stares out at you, defiant,

challenging you and demanding attention. Her status is clear.

Robyn Kahukiwa’s work is known to deal with motherhood, blood ties, Maori myth and symbolism. She is also an award winning children’s book writer and illustrator and that is why this work has an illustrative quality to it. Its simple colour and bold stylised shapes give it a symbolic appearance, also adding to the overall importance of what we are looking at.

An important work by an important artist.

A Gem.

Anthony Clark Deputy Principal

A piece from “the Collection”

The values they selected were:

Patience ++++UnityTrust+ToleranceLove +++++Loyalty ++++JusticeStrength – because there are layers built to make it strong.Courage +++++Focus

DisciplineEndurance – because making the gem took time.Honesty ++PeacefulnessKindnessForgiveness +Creativity ++++Friendliness ++Respect+Humility

HonourResponsibilityGentlenessConfidence+EnthusiasmCommitment+TrustworthinessGenerosityCompassionDiligenceReliability

Art 9CpEach student designed a gemstone and was asked to identify the values their gemstone represents and explain why they selected them and how they are important to them.

Overall, the students felt these values were important because they represent who they are or who they want to be. They felt the works show the importance of knowing and embracing who you are and what builds you as a person. They think it shows the importance to be yourself or show your true colours.

It’s been a busy term for the Building School. The house is now water tight and lockable. Two students, Kushal Kumar 12Ea and Damien Small 12Ea, are completing the plumbing work under supervision from the staff of Brierly Plumbing. The process of fixing the weather boards is well underway and the Gib fixing will start soon.

Highlight of the term was The Big Build Bus Tour. This event was organised by the BCITO. Students from Auckland Schools were bused around the city to construction sites and industries related to buildings. We visited and were spoken to by residential building company owners at Hobsonville Point and then down to the Wynyard Quarter to look at and meet people involved in commercial construction projects.

The students got to test power-tools and took part in a nailing contest. Tevita Vai 12Ea was the winner and Auckland Champion. Tevita hit a 90mm nail into wood with 2 hits. The BCITO put on a fantastic lunch and every student received a goodie bag.

Thank you BCITO for a great day and continued support in helping students with career choice and information.

MOOVITFor the third year in a row Onehunga High School dance students in collaboration with the Royal New Zealand Ballet, Vodafone Events Centre and Identity Dance crew along with the OHS Jazz band and Level 2 and 3 Music students have delighted the audience with their truly inspiring performances at the Moovit production.

In Part I of the programme, the school Jazz band performed Straighten Up and Fly Right (Nat King Cole and Irving Mills) followed by Proud Mary (John Fogerty), after which the Level 2

and 3 Music students performed a selection of numbers, all of which were received rapturously by a very enthusiastic audience.

In Part II of the programme some 45 dancers took to the stage to perform a series of eight dances named, One Story One Movement, set to the music of Frederic Chopin and remixed by our very own Alumnus, Eugene Teulilo. They gave a captivating performance. The many hours of hard work, the care and camaraderie they felt for each other was clearly evident in their dances. These students and their teachers had become a family, coming together to support each other through the creative process to produce an outstanding event. There wasn’t a

dry eye in the house as students came together in a rousing Haka lead by Deniro Tavu’i 13Lw to give thanks to those people who had given so much of themselves to ensure the production was successful.

Sincere congratulations to everyone who took part with particular thanks to the inspirational Mr Jonny White HOD Performing Arts, Miss Trudy Dobbie TIC Dance, Pagan Dorgan Dance Educator Royal New Zealand Ballet, Richie Cesan Artist, Choreographer at ID CO and Eugene Teulilo Music Producer.

Grateful thanks to the Vodafone Events Centre Schools Programme.

This term in Year 9 Chinese classes, one of the skills we learnt was how to say different colours in Chinese. In addition, we also learnt the meaning of different colours in Chinese culture.

For example, red is traditionally the colour that represents happiness and joy. Therefore, red is the colour for decorations for festivals and weddings. White is associated with death and is the colour worn at traditional funerals. While in New Zealand, brides wear a white dress for their wedding.

We also learnt that Beijing Opera of China is a national treasure with a history of 200 years. Beijing Opera is a form of traditional Chinese theatre which combines music, vocal performance, mime, dance and acrobatics to

represent a story or depict different characters and their feelings.

The colour of the mask indicates the characters' different roles. For example, a red mask indicates a positive character. Red can also mean prosperity and loyalty. A yellow mask tells the audience that the character is cruel. Yellow can also mean evil, ambitious or sly.

We enjoyed making these colourful masks!

On 30 August, we were very lucky to have the head coach of the New Zealand Kungfu Federation, Jojo Hua. As beginners, students were taught some basic moves, and learned the purpose of Kungfu, which is not for fighting, but to stop fighting. We enjoyed the lesson very much.

On 23 June, the students from Years 11, 12 and 13 Chinese classes, along with their teachers, had the pleasure of visiting the Fo Guang Shan temple. We experienced Buddhism culture and spent time with the monks. The temple was surrounded by beautiful sculptures and serene landscapes. We spent time practising tai chi, walking through the scenery and even meditating. We were impressed by the magnificence of the temple architecture, the art gallery’s beautiful pieces, and the warmth exuded by BLIA members, all this made this an enriching trip.

Thank you to the wonderful tour guides and organisers of the trip, it was a beautiful experience for those who had never been to a temple before and some may even visit again.

Senior Drama Productions bring the world to OHSThroughout Term 2, our senior drama classes worked hard to study, rehearse and then perform two very different plays for a public audience. Although the productions form the work for their Level 1, 2 and 3 NCEA assessments and are worth credits, all the students found that it is the teamwork and fun of the path to performance which had the biggest impact on them.

The Level 3 Drama class brought a taste of mid-20th century America into our school hall on 28th and 29th June, with Arthur Miller’s classic play “All My Sons”. A tale of family upheaval and ultimate tragedy, “All My Sons” gave our students meaty roles to get their American-accented teeth into, playing the dysfunctional and delusional Keller family whose lives are turned upside down by a devastating revelation. With packed audiences on both nights, the cast and crew loved every minute of their preparation and performance, and the audiences (which comprised family, fellow students and members of the public) were rapturous in their applause.

A few weeks later, our Level 1 and 2 Drama students took to the stage in a very different setting, to present the British comedy/pantomime “Robin Hood: The Truth Behind the Green Tights”. Riffing on the well-known legend of the hero who stole from the rich to give to the poor, our talented cast played everything from a female Sheriff to a talking tree to a troupe of young women playing the “Merry Men”. With a set created and painted by visionary Year 11 Art students and lighting designed by our resident Level 3 techie extraordinaire, “Robin Hood” was truly a school show. For many in the cast, it was their first experience of performing to the public, and all the actors did themselves (and their teacher) proud.

Business School

Shadow a LeaderAspiring student leaders from schools across Auckland spent the day walking in the footsteps of business greats as part of the AUT Business and Law Schools’ Shadow a Leader programme. Now in its fifth year, Shadow a Leader matches a Year 13 student and an AUT Business or Law student with a business leader.

On 4 July 2017, 78 students from 40 schools across Auckland and 78 AUT Faculty of Business, Economics and Law students were exposed to the day-to-day workings of leadership in action, including strategy meetings, negotiations, video conferences, team building meetings and client sales presentations.

Students were selected based on their leadership capabilities, potential and overall achievement. Representing Onehunga High School were Karishma Singh 13Wm and Deniro Tavu'i 13Lw.

The students said how this experience really opened their eyes to the different opportunities within businesses. They saw what makes a business tick and how to create successful teams and a successful business culture.

EY Communication WorkshopBusiness Studies students attended a Communications Workshop at Takutai Square, Britomart on 13th June. This was part of the YES programme that the Year 13 students have enrolled in and aimed to educate students on selling, marketing, public relations and making promotional videos. These aspects of communication were presented by Quijing Eastbrook-Wong, CEO of Borderless, a company specialising in creating films for social change; Lauren Stangl from Massey University talking about market strategies; Robett Hollis talking about social media strategies; Abby Wison talking about television exposure and Matt Stenton talking about making videos.

The seven students who attended represented their YES companies and gained insight into important business knowledge. One of our students, Deniro Tavu'i 13Lw said:

“The Communications Workshop was hectic. I say this because it was awesome to hear really experienced business entrepreneurs.…We all definitely came away with new ideas to improve our products and services. The venue was also just beautiful to visit. The view from the building made us feel like we were actually in the corporate world.”

Reflecting on our PastMary Hill (nee Hawk) OHS Student 1989 – 1993

Mary always aspired to be a lawyer and litigator. In the Bursary examinations in her final year at school Mary received four subject scholarships and was a recipient of the first Onehunga High School Scholarship Award. After leaving OHS she enrolled at the University of Canterbury where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Laws (First Class Honours).

Returning to Auckland, Mary continued studying part-time at the University of Auckland while also working for a large Auckland law firm. She graduated with a Masters in Commercial Law with Honours.

It was the desire to have a family and to work in an environment where she could succeed whilst raising children which convinced Mary and husband Matt to move to the Bay of Plenty in 2004. Her new position meant learning, not only a new way of doing things but also another area of law, this time resource management, planning and local government law. Working for a very supportive and progressive firm meant Mary was able to work part time while her two boys were young. She was able to get practical experience too, more so than in a big firm, and enjoyed being a junior to two QCs and being able to go to the Court of Appeal and learn about that side of things. In the past Mary hadn’t run her own trials but now has several hearings a year. Mary has recently become the newest partner of the firm, an opportunity she turned down eight years ago in favour of her family.

Mary has just been reappointed to the National Committee of the Resource Management Law Association for a second term. The Committee are elected by the over 1100 members, comprised of lawyers, judges, consultants, civil servants, planners and others. The aim of the committee is to consult with the Ministry for the Environment and the Judiciary to keep abreast of legal, policy and political developments and enable the free flow of information between policy / law-makers, and practitioners.

International DepartmentTerm Three has been very busy in the international department with short study tours from Japan. We received groups from Kasagawa Junior High School, Kagawa Junior High School and Suiryo Yokohama High School. Thank you to all the families that assisted us with hosting students and providing the special care and attention that these students require.

Our full time long term students are settled and finalising course work and programmes. Our two rugby boys from Japan have returned home this week and they were sad to leave. Both Kotaro and Ren spoke of the support and friendship

they experienced during their four month stay with us. They had a wonderful time studying and playing rugby while they were here.

We farewelled Anita Vulling as our homestay co-ordinator and we welcome Maryam Taghavi to the position. Maryam came to New Zealand as an international student herself. She is currently teaching in our English Language School and she will pick up the role of pastoral care management as well. If you are interested in hosting future students please contact Maryam on mtaghavi@ohs.school.nz.

PE and HealthA busy term for the PE and Health department as the weather changes and the rain falls. Participation rates continue to be up in Junior PE courtesy of a new initiative around Physical Education uniform. Year 9 PE has been working on their physical movement and expression through activities such as Badminton. Year 10 PE has taken on a new look this year with the introduction of a theoretical focus investigating sports science relating to physical activity which links strongly to the senior courses we provide, and they have now moved on to participating with a positive attitude and working in a safe environment. Year 10 Health continues to evolve as students address societal factors and effects

relating to various forms of addiction and have been researching New Zealand health related issues.

Senior PE classes are continuing to keep their heads down, working through their various internal assessments. On the back of the Black Sox winning their seventh world championship, our Level 3 PE students have been analysing the biomechanical principles involved in the softball throw and PTC students have been developing leadership strategies within group situations. Level 2 students are looking fit as they have been developing and implementing fitness training programs. Level 1 PE has been looking to effectively demonstrate interpersonal

skills through a Turbo Touch competition and

Level 1 PTC has been working through a Sport

Science unit and understanding the function of

our body in sporting situations. Level 3 Health

has been very busy as students have looked at

the growing issue of poverty in New Zealand

and will be completing the year analysing

treatments for mental health issues.

As Term Four approaches we encourage our

junior students to maintain the great standards

regarding uniform and participation, and

we wish our seniors all the best with their

completion of internal assessments and

preparation for external exams.

sports round up

Term 3 has been a busy term for our sports teams. The development through the juniors has been outstanding with the Junior Girls Basketball and U15 Rugby boys being our top performers, along with many of our senior teams. Our Girls Basketball U15s made the central zone final. Rugby has been the main sport to feature in play offs. The Under 15 Boys team lost to Mt Roskill in an epic semi-final, the boys have had a great season and we have a strong group of boys who will be pushed up to 1st XV for 2018. The 2nd XV Boys lost in the quarterfinals, again after a strong consistent season.

The Girls 1st XV has been the most successful team. They have produced some fantastic performances to reach the Auckland Girls' Final and just fell short in the final after leading Southern Cross with minutes left on the clock. The girls can be very proud of themselves and also dominate the Auckland Rugby Central team with 9 players being selected.

Five teams enjoyed Tournament Week representing OHS at various tournaments.

A big thank you to all our staff and volunteers for their hard work this winter with sports teams. It’s a big commitment and we are very grateful for your time and energy that you put in. Below are our fantastic Staff and Volunteers who have helped this year in the winter:
