Dear Parents/Caregivers and Students ERO Visit The Board of Trustees and Senior Management Team received feedback on Thursday 27 October about our recent visit by members of the Education Review Office. A draft written Report will be the next step followed by publication and release of the final document. Without being premature, I can attest to them having seen and heard about: strong engagement by students in lessons; strong relationships between staff and students; a positive and safe learning environment; a passionate and well-informed Board of Trustees; strong partnerships with our parents/caregivers and wider community; and further improved NCEA results and tracking and analysis of Junior achievement data. College Sports Clubs A further huge thanks goes to all players, coaches, managers, committee members, parents/caregivers, sponsors and supporters. Check out some end of season reports in this newsletter. Upcoming Events and Start of Next Year Please keep this newsletter handy (it will also be on our website) so that you are well aware of what is coming up . . . (Years 11, 12 and 13 will receive a Deans’ Newsletter at next week’s final Deans’ assemblies for the year). Kia Kaha.

Senior Girls 1st XI The 2016 season got off to a great start for the Girls 1st XI, winning all of their grading games and securing them a spot in the 2nd Division. Week after week the girls grew as a team and the results were showing it. Training twice a week, the team committed themselves and the improvement across the board was awesome to see. As a team, they had a goal to compete in the Kathy Seaward Tournament up in Auckland. Leading up to the tournament the level of play in the girls' games increased and they were working hard to maintain a good level of fitness and skill. 29 August – 2 September was tournament week and we all travelled to Auckland to take part. For the team, it was an awesome experience getting to play on different surfaces such as turf and playing some high level Auckland teams along the way. The girls played exceptionally well day in and day out, coming away 14th overall. All in all it was a fantastic season, the team really gelled together and it showed throughout their games; they took out third equal in the Senior Girls Division 2 competition. Here's to another successful season next year!! Larissa Hopkins Senior Boys 1st XI Another year of could have been great for the Boys 1st XI, 14 games in all with only 3 losses. Finished 3rd in senior Division 3, a creditable effort with a senior squad comprising 6 Year 11’s and only 5 Year 13’s, one of whom was new to football this year and the other returning after 6 years of rugby. The Division was a tight one with TAC winning 1 and drawing 2 of the four games against the eventual top 2, Matamata College 1st XI and HBHS Senior Copper. Ultimately, in similar fashion to last year, finishing with 8 draws, having led in each, from 10 league games costing them an even higher placing. Matt Foulkes Senior Boys 2nd XI Team captained by Brad Clarke and Devon Chestnut, team included senior and junior players. Played in Division 8 finishing 4th overall. Best result this season was in the 5aside tournament where our team finished second in the Junior Composite Division. Andrew Grilli Junior Boys We started the season with a hiss and a roar qualifying for Division 3, which was an awesome accomplishment for a new junior team. The team took loss after loss after loss but being a persevering group of young men they continued to improve and work better as a team slowly making improvements throughout the season, finishing on a high note of a 4 all draw. It is important to note that they were the only all junior team in the top 3 Divisions. Well done boys on continuing to turn up to every single game and giving your best.

We took a team to 5-a-side. It was an amazing day with amazing weather, only taking one loss for the whole day, making it through the semis and into the finals. The finals finished with a 4 all draw and required a penalty shoot-out. The penalty shoot-out ended up in a 2 all draw and needed to go to sudden death, and much to the team’s delight ended up in a win, bringing gold home for the day. Whilst the day was awesome young Christian was sent to hospital with a broken foot and missed out on the semis and final. Thank you to the other boys who stepped up to take on the goal keeping duties at such a crucial part in the day. We were also privileged to have the opportunity of having a group of 4 boys being the ball boys for the Te Awamutu Men’s Federation team. This allowed the boys to observe the men playing and grab a few tips. This was an awesome opportunity for these boys and we hope to continue this relationship. Thanks all for the great season and we look forward to doing it all again next year.

The Te Awamutu College Hockey teams, would like to sincerely thank Grassroots Trusts for their generous funding in providing the funds for the club to invest in a hockey goal. This valuable resource allowed both teams to practise for the first time in a number of years using a full sized goal. This asset was a tremendous boost to the development of hockey at the College. The goal was provided by Mayfield Sports, who upgraded to the Aluminum model for the club at no extra charge due to the unavailability of the steel, heavier model (see photos below). The lighter construction allowed easy manoeuvring and storage when not in use. Both teams had busy seasons with the boys recording their most successful season in a number of years. The girls weren’t quite as successful due to key senior players leaving school at the end of last year. This provided an opportunity for the younger players to develop. The remaining senior players led by example throughout the season playing with commitment and determination. Jill Morgan Chairperson TA Hockey Club

Vision Te Awamutu Lacrosse will provide an environment that encourages and supports everyone so they can develop their skills while building positive relationships with one another. We will deliver a programme where our high achieving players can progress to allow them to gain higher sporting honours. Lacrosse Summary for 2016 This year Te Awamutu College had 3 girls teams and 1 boys team entered into the Waikato Lacrosse School Leagues. We had many new players this year joining the programme which shows how much the students are enjoying the sport. We would like to thank Grassroots Trust funding for providing funding for our new uniforms and goalie equipment. This meant we could enter more teams into the leagues and allow more students to take part in lacrosse. This equipment will set us up for the next few years allowing more students to get involved in sport. Our Premier girls team achieved the goal they set for themselves and placed 5th in the Premier division this year. They have closed the gap between them and the teams in the top 4 in Waikato with some narrow losses this year to these schools. The hard work the girls have put in has led to many of our players being selected for Waikato representative teams this year; Waikato u18 A team Amelia Patching

Waikato u18 Development team Allyn Daniel, Anna Scott, Lilli Daniel, Tabitha Mason

Waikato u15 A team Charlotte Miller

Waikato u15 Development team Amber Fitzpatrick, Jess Sinclair, Kaitlyn Barr, Lauren Otto, Tegan Walmsley Our goal for next year is to develop more depth to our programme. We would like to grow our boys team so they have a full roster and we would like our girls 2nd and 3rd teams to place in the top 3 in their divisions. To help achieve this we are supporting Te Awamutu Intermediate to develop a lacrosse programme by supplying coaches and equipment to allow them to play. We are looking forward to seeing more students playing lacrosse and enjoying sport at Te Awamutu College.

Congratulations to all the players who were involved in College netball this year. We had a fantastic 2016 starting with the WBOP Magic coming to Te Awamutu playing the NSW Swifts, where we were able to see our own Laura Langman, play against her former team mates, what a fantastic game, there we also saw some of our players be part of something great as volunteers. We had fantastic coaches, a noho to allow some of our younger players to get to know our top side, and a year packed with tournaments!!! This season saw Te Awamutu College, Te Kuiti College, Otorohanaga College and Taumaranui College start an inaugural Waipa/King Country School competition. This was set up to help our players set their sights on UNISS. Congratulations to all our teams, TAC Yr 9 Winners of the A2 grade this season, Senior A, runners up in the A1 Final, and our Prem Team being promoted into the Premier Grade, starting at 8th, ending up 5th in the grade, some really good wins!!

Te Awamutu College Rugby Prize giving was held on 7 September. All teams were well represented with a record number of players, family members and supporters in attendance. BNZ are the major sponsor and their representative Hamish Walker was really impressed with the night and enjoyed it immensely. Their support of Rugby at the College has gone a long way to making the club the success that it is. The Coaches spoke of the enjoyment they get out of coaching the secondary school students, while it can be challenging at times the rewards are many and the friendships lifelong. The installation of lights has made it easier for coaches to give their time too. Having to single out players for trophies was difficult. Under 55kg Most Improved Charlie Mason,

Mayor Jim Mylchreest and Cap Sponsors were on hand to ‘Cap’ these players. Mayor Jim wore his cap and enlighted those in attendance of the wonderful memories he had from the years at Te Awamutu College playing Rugby. College Old Boy and Cap sponsor Robert Bridson, wore his cap which he earned in 1964-65 and reminisced of his 1965 team being the first TA College 1st XV to be unbeaten in any game. His team played 24 Games, won 20, drew 4. Points For: 237 and Against: 82. Team members still living locally are David Papesch, Donald Spiers, Maurice Griffin and Robert Bridson. Paul Howe who was part of this team was also a cap sponsor. Generous sponsorship from College Old Boys and local supporters of which some wished to remain anonymous was very humbling and those who received caps were overwhelmed that people who did not know them could be so generous.

A special thank you was extended to those who gave generously this season: The BNZ, The Te Awamutu College Board of Trustees, Four Winds Trust, Black Sheep (wet weather gear), Ryco, Te Awamutu Sports Rugby Club, Sincerety Drycleaners, Farm Source, Focused Physio, Waipa Workingmans Club, Mark McCullough, Alan and Karina Belfield and Maree Letford.

Logan’s father Dennis Karl was the recipient of this trophy in 1986. This is the first time in the trophy’s history that a father and son have shared their names on this trophy. This year we had 22 Players named in Representative teams.

2016 has been a rebuilding year for College Volleyball. After the successful tour to Melbourne for the Australian Schools Championships in December last year, the Senior Girls’ team continued into Term 1 finishing 4th in the Waikato Secondary Schools’ Championship. A Senior Boys’ team also played in these championships and Jack Sheppard was selected into the Waikato Under 17 Rep team. Two Junior Girls’ teams and one Junior Boys’ team are playing in the WSS Junior completion in Terms 3 and 4. At the end of 4 weeks round robin play the Girls’ Grey team were 1st in Division 1 and the Girls’ Blue team were 1st in Division 2. Both teams have been showing the benefit of starting their skills work early in the year and several girls should make the age group representative teams. The Girls’ Junior Grey team is preparing to compete in the North Island competition in Wellington in November and Alipati Amituanai has come in to fine tune the team leading to this tournament. During Term 2 18 teams including a staff team played every lunchtime in the Millar Gym. Games were often intense, all 142 of them, and the staff were especially competitive but had to concede to the taller and more athletic boys’ team in the finish.

The funding Te Awamutu College Sailing Club received from the Te Awamutu College Board of Trustees to kick start it’s numbers enabled us to run a very successful Sailing Elective in conjunction with Ngaroto Sailing Club between 6 and 8 April 2016. The funding allowed us to hire Yachting New Zealand’s Have-a-Go Sailing Trailer which came with a fully qualified Sailing Coach, a trimaran, six optimist dinghies and two taz dinghies. Having four staff (Milly, the YNZ Coach, Andrew, a TAC and NSC parent, along with Malcolm Haig and I) made the word of difference in allowing us to deliver a quality experience. Having the extra boats on hand gave us much more flexibility to suit individual needs, experiences and wind conditions. Seeing our students grow in confidence either as novices or existing sailors wanting more was exactly was we were after.
