FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Premier Water Polo Team supporters
THE RECENT REVELATIONS ABOUT THE USE OF PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS WITHIN RUSSIAN OLYMPIC PROGRAMMES AND THE STRUGGLES OF
THE IAAF UNDER CHAIRMAN LORD COE TO ELIMINATE DRUG ABUSE IN ATHLETICS HAVE BEEN OF HUGE CONCERN TO EVERYONE WHO VALUES THE IDEALS AND ASPIRATIONS OF THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT IN NEW ZEALAND THERE HAS BEEN HUGE SUPPORT FOR VALERIE ADAMS HER EXPERIENCE HAS MADE THE DESTRUCTIVE IMPACT DRUG CHEATS HAVE ON THOSE ATHLETES WHO LIVE BY THE OLYMPIC IDEALS MUCH MORE REAL AND MUCH CLOSER TO HOME
For decades Olympic competitors have demonstrated for our children the importance of that Olympic maxim
The most important thing is not winning but taking part the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well
Recent events have threatened to undermine that Olympic mantra with the alternative message that the Olympics is about winning at all costs that the Olympic motto Citius Altius Fortius (Faster Higher Stronger) has for a few athletes a sub-clause ldquoand the end justifies all and any meansrdquo
Hard Work and Integrity
3COLLEGE TIES
This issue of College Ties is packed full of achievement from current students and aspiring Old Girl Olympians as we take a look at what some of the Collegersquos best athletes are doing on their road to Rio
We know that seeing girls learning and achieving is really important to our audience so to this end we have redesigned our magazine to make it even more visually striking for readers with lots of photos and student reflections about recent College activities
In addition you will see dotted throughout the magazine stories marked with this sentence ldquoAdditional content available digitally visit stcuthbertsschoolnzrdquo Where this appears readers can navigate to the online version of College Ties available on the home page of the College website to see more photos and writing from our students
I think the three ldquoofficialrdquo Olympic
values - Excellence Friendship and
Respect - provide great starting
places for us as teachers coaches
and parents
For most of us this has been a deeply distressing development as the Olympic ideals have such resonance with us
We know that simply getting to the Olympics is a huge achievement in an athletersquos life and we know what sacrifices they have made and how honoured they feel to be representing their country I have heard some of our own Olympians talk of what pursuing their Olympic aspirations has meant for their families their studies their friendships their bank balances and their bodies Yet despite all of those sacrifices they remain true to those Olympic ideals
How then do we keep those Olympic ideals alive for our children How do we make taking part and fighting well the core motivation for them so that winning is the wonderful outcome (sometimes) of those two elements
Children have to feel from their first experience of competitive sport that being involved and working hard to improve their skills are ends in themselves to be valued for themselves It is great to celebrate when our kids win their games it is just as important to draw any genuine positives from when they lose Empty unearned praise as Carol Dweck reminds us can have negative outcomes and be demotivating Above all children have to see sport as fun
Last week I watched our Premier Water Polo Team win the North Island Secondary Schools title while the final illustrated how committed fit and tough you have to be at this level what was also clear was that the girls were still having fun that they laughed lots before and after the game and that there were many close bonds within the team
I think the three ldquoofficialrdquo Olympic values - Excellence Friendship and Respect - provide great starting places for us as teachers coaches and parents

Senior School hockey players warm up with
the Black SticksA recent article I read reported that
The Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University in Washington DC identified a number of lsquofun factorsrsquo after asking 236 participants (142 kid soccer players 37 coaches and 57 parents) to list all of the things that make playing sports fun for kids Winning and other mental bonuses ranked near the bottom of what was considered fun in sports
After the participants listed the determinants of fun they were then asked to sort the 81 factors on their importance frequency and feasibility The top three factors that made sports fun were being a good sport trying hard and positive coaching Other fun factors that fell under the fundamental tenets included learning and improving game time support games practices team friendships mental bonuses team rituals and lsquoswagrsquo (new jerseys and equipment or trophies and medals) Surprisingly winning and lsquoswagrsquo ranked near the bottom (Journal of Physical Activity and Health)

DURING THE BOARDrsquoS RECENT STRATEGY SESSION AND OUR CONTINUING PRINCIPAL RECRUITMENT PROCESS WE HAVE TAKEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO REFLECT ON THE VALUES PRINCIPLES AND
ASPIRATIONS THAT UNDERPIN ST CUTHBERTrsquoS COLLEGE MANY OF THE IDEAS WE HAVE DISCUSSED ALIGN CLOSELY WITH THE PRINCIPLES AND VALUES OF THE OLYMPICS AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF OLYMPISM Striving for excellence is a central component of both the Olympics and the College The achievement of St Cuthbertrsquos girls across a wide range of academic sporting cultural and service pursuits is phenomenal The breadth of achievement is a testament to the holistic education the College provides St Cuthbertrsquos recognises and embraces the many and varied skills passions and abilities of our girls and provides the opportunities for them to pursue
Olympic Principles amp Values
FROM THE BOARD
and excel in many areas In recognising the achievements of our students we also acknowledge that this excellence would not have been possible without the wealth of expertise support and dedication of the staff and wider College community
While the Olympics encourages and celebrates excellence the Olympic creed positions the struggle as more important than the triumph stating the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well It is important that in striving for excellence we also create well-rounded girls who have the breadth of knowledge integrity of character and sense of purpose to contribute to our society in diverse and meaningful ways We must ensure that our girls develop the ability to think creatively and critically the confidence and courage to take risks and explore new directions and the resilience to keep going in the face of adversity and change
Just as the Olympics must balance its traditions with the need to continually evolve (perhaps most evident in the addition of new sports every four years) St Cuthbertrsquos too must find a way to continue to adapt to our changing world while remaining true to our traditions and founding values Similarly to the strong values that underpin the Olympics St Cuthbertrsquos also is founded on core values encapsulated by our motto By Love Serve As a Board we see the values and traditions of the College as the foundation of the school and paramount in driving the future evolution of the College

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels
included and at home After all we spend a lot of time together
Our overall goal is maintaining the huge role that boarding already has in our
College as we progress through the year as well as for the future I look forward
to the opportunities that await

JUNIOR SCHOOLJUNIOR SCHOOL
TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration

I loved decorating our
class bonnets with lots of
fancy Easter decorations
When I wore our class
bonnet during the parade
glitter kept drifting to the
ground like snowflakes

YEAR 4 CAMP TO SONSHINE RANCH
YEAR 3 CAMP
As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac

At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real
plane I could see all
around me Isla Spring
My favourite part of the
camp was when we went
to the museum I loved
looking at the World War
1 exhibition and going in
the trenches Emma Zhao
I really enjoyed sleeping in

to bring a favourite toy from
home I brought my bunny

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed

ldquoTake your markshellip BEEPrdquo The Centennial
Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Premier Water Polo Team supporters
THE RECENT REVELATIONS ABOUT THE USE OF PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS WITHIN RUSSIAN OLYMPIC PROGRAMMES AND THE STRUGGLES OF
THE IAAF UNDER CHAIRMAN LORD COE TO ELIMINATE DRUG ABUSE IN ATHLETICS HAVE BEEN OF HUGE CONCERN TO EVERYONE WHO VALUES THE IDEALS AND ASPIRATIONS OF THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT IN NEW ZEALAND THERE HAS BEEN HUGE SUPPORT FOR VALERIE ADAMS HER EXPERIENCE HAS MADE THE DESTRUCTIVE IMPACT DRUG CHEATS HAVE ON THOSE ATHLETES WHO LIVE BY THE OLYMPIC IDEALS MUCH MORE REAL AND MUCH CLOSER TO HOME
For decades Olympic competitors have demonstrated for our children the importance of that Olympic maxim
The most important thing is not winning but taking part the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well
Recent events have threatened to undermine that Olympic mantra with the alternative message that the Olympics is about winning at all costs that the Olympic motto Citius Altius Fortius (Faster Higher Stronger) has for a few athletes a sub-clause ldquoand the end justifies all and any meansrdquo
Hard Work and Integrity
3COLLEGE TIES
This issue of College Ties is packed full of achievement from current students and aspiring Old Girl Olympians as we take a look at what some of the Collegersquos best athletes are doing on their road to Rio
We know that seeing girls learning and achieving is really important to our audience so to this end we have redesigned our magazine to make it even more visually striking for readers with lots of photos and student reflections about recent College activities
In addition you will see dotted throughout the magazine stories marked with this sentence ldquoAdditional content available digitally visit stcuthbertsschoolnzrdquo Where this appears readers can navigate to the online version of College Ties available on the home page of the College website to see more photos and writing from our students
I think the three ldquoofficialrdquo Olympic
values - Excellence Friendship and
Respect - provide great starting
places for us as teachers coaches
and parents
For most of us this has been a deeply distressing development as the Olympic ideals have such resonance with us
We know that simply getting to the Olympics is a huge achievement in an athletersquos life and we know what sacrifices they have made and how honoured they feel to be representing their country I have heard some of our own Olympians talk of what pursuing their Olympic aspirations has meant for their families their studies their friendships their bank balances and their bodies Yet despite all of those sacrifices they remain true to those Olympic ideals
How then do we keep those Olympic ideals alive for our children How do we make taking part and fighting well the core motivation for them so that winning is the wonderful outcome (sometimes) of those two elements
Children have to feel from their first experience of competitive sport that being involved and working hard to improve their skills are ends in themselves to be valued for themselves It is great to celebrate when our kids win their games it is just as important to draw any genuine positives from when they lose Empty unearned praise as Carol Dweck reminds us can have negative outcomes and be demotivating Above all children have to see sport as fun
Last week I watched our Premier Water Polo Team win the North Island Secondary Schools title while the final illustrated how committed fit and tough you have to be at this level what was also clear was that the girls were still having fun that they laughed lots before and after the game and that there were many close bonds within the team
I think the three ldquoofficialrdquo Olympic values - Excellence Friendship and Respect - provide great starting places for us as teachers coaches and parents

Senior School hockey players warm up with
the Black SticksA recent article I read reported that
The Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University in Washington DC identified a number of lsquofun factorsrsquo after asking 236 participants (142 kid soccer players 37 coaches and 57 parents) to list all of the things that make playing sports fun for kids Winning and other mental bonuses ranked near the bottom of what was considered fun in sports
After the participants listed the determinants of fun they were then asked to sort the 81 factors on their importance frequency and feasibility The top three factors that made sports fun were being a good sport trying hard and positive coaching Other fun factors that fell under the fundamental tenets included learning and improving game time support games practices team friendships mental bonuses team rituals and lsquoswagrsquo (new jerseys and equipment or trophies and medals) Surprisingly winning and lsquoswagrsquo ranked near the bottom (Journal of Physical Activity and Health)
4 ST CUTHBERTrsquoS COLLEGE MAGAZINE | APRIL 2016
DURING THE BOARDrsquoS RECENT STRATEGY SESSION AND OUR CONTINUING PRINCIPAL RECRUITMENT PROCESS WE HAVE TAKEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO REFLECT ON THE VALUES PRINCIPLES AND
ASPIRATIONS THAT UNDERPIN ST CUTHBERTrsquoS COLLEGE MANY OF THE IDEAS WE HAVE DISCUSSED ALIGN CLOSELY WITH THE PRINCIPLES AND VALUES OF THE OLYMPICS AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF OLYMPISM Striving for excellence is a central component of both the Olympics and the College The achievement of St Cuthbertrsquos girls across a wide range of academic sporting cultural and service pursuits is phenomenal The breadth of achievement is a testament to the holistic education the College provides St Cuthbertrsquos recognises and embraces the many and varied skills passions and abilities of our girls and provides the opportunities for them to pursue
Olympic Principles amp Values
FROM THE BOARD
and excel in many areas In recognising the achievements of our students we also acknowledge that this excellence would not have been possible without the wealth of expertise support and dedication of the staff and wider College community
While the Olympics encourages and celebrates excellence the Olympic creed positions the struggle as more important than the triumph stating the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well It is important that in striving for excellence we also create well-rounded girls who have the breadth of knowledge integrity of character and sense of purpose to contribute to our society in diverse and meaningful ways We must ensure that our girls develop the ability to think creatively and critically the confidence and courage to take risks and explore new directions and the resilience to keep going in the face of adversity and change
Just as the Olympics must balance its traditions with the need to continually evolve (perhaps most evident in the addition of new sports every four years) St Cuthbertrsquos too must find a way to continue to adapt to our changing world while remaining true to our traditions and founding values Similarly to the strong values that underpin the Olympics St Cuthbertrsquos also is founded on core values encapsulated by our motto By Love Serve As a Board we see the values and traditions of the College as the foundation of the school and paramount in driving the future evolution of the College

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels
included and at home After all we spend a lot of time together
Our overall goal is maintaining the huge role that boarding already has in our
College as we progress through the year as well as for the future I look forward
to the opportunities that await

TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual

Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior

Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration

As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically

three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

running around in their school togs and their

from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too
Rev Roxy Gahegan
The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Premier Water Polo Team supporters
THE RECENT REVELATIONS ABOUT THE USE OF PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS WITHIN RUSSIAN OLYMPIC PROGRAMMES AND THE STRUGGLES OF
THE IAAF UNDER CHAIRMAN LORD COE TO ELIMINATE DRUG ABUSE IN ATHLETICS HAVE BEEN OF HUGE CONCERN TO EVERYONE WHO VALUES THE IDEALS AND ASPIRATIONS OF THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT IN NEW ZEALAND THERE HAS BEEN HUGE SUPPORT FOR VALERIE ADAMS HER EXPERIENCE HAS MADE THE DESTRUCTIVE IMPACT DRUG CHEATS HAVE ON THOSE ATHLETES WHO LIVE BY THE OLYMPIC IDEALS MUCH MORE REAL AND MUCH CLOSER TO HOME
For decades Olympic competitors have demonstrated for our children the importance of that Olympic maxim
The most important thing is not winning but taking part the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well
Recent events have threatened to undermine that Olympic mantra with the alternative message that the Olympics is about winning at all costs that the Olympic motto Citius Altius Fortius (Faster Higher Stronger) has for a few athletes a sub-clause ldquoand the end justifies all and any meansrdquo
Hard Work and Integrity
3COLLEGE TIES
This issue of College Ties is packed full of achievement from current students and aspiring Old Girl Olympians as we take a look at what some of the Collegersquos best athletes are doing on their road to Rio
We know that seeing girls learning and achieving is really important to our audience so to this end we have redesigned our magazine to make it even more visually striking for readers with lots of photos and student reflections about recent College activities
In addition you will see dotted throughout the magazine stories marked with this sentence ldquoAdditional content available digitally visit stcuthbertsschoolnzrdquo Where this appears readers can navigate to the online version of College Ties available on the home page of the College website to see more photos and writing from our students
I think the three ldquoofficialrdquo Olympic
values - Excellence Friendship and
Respect - provide great starting
places for us as teachers coaches
and parents
For most of us this has been a deeply distressing development as the Olympic ideals have such resonance with us
We know that simply getting to the Olympics is a huge achievement in an athletersquos life and we know what sacrifices they have made and how honoured they feel to be representing their country I have heard some of our own Olympians talk of what pursuing their Olympic aspirations has meant for their families their studies their friendships their bank balances and their bodies Yet despite all of those sacrifices they remain true to those Olympic ideals
How then do we keep those Olympic ideals alive for our children How do we make taking part and fighting well the core motivation for them so that winning is the wonderful outcome (sometimes) of those two elements
Children have to feel from their first experience of competitive sport that being involved and working hard to improve their skills are ends in themselves to be valued for themselves It is great to celebrate when our kids win their games it is just as important to draw any genuine positives from when they lose Empty unearned praise as Carol Dweck reminds us can have negative outcomes and be demotivating Above all children have to see sport as fun
Last week I watched our Premier Water Polo Team win the North Island Secondary Schools title while the final illustrated how committed fit and tough you have to be at this level what was also clear was that the girls were still having fun that they laughed lots before and after the game and that there were many close bonds within the team
I think the three ldquoofficialrdquo Olympic values - Excellence Friendship and Respect - provide great starting places for us as teachers coaches and parents
Mrs Lynda Reid Principal
Left Senior School Athletics Day Right Premier Water Polo Team
Senior School hockey players warm up with
the Black SticksA recent article I read reported that
The Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University in Washington DC identified a number of lsquofun factorsrsquo after asking 236 participants (142 kid soccer players 37 coaches and 57 parents) to list all of the things that make playing sports fun for kids Winning and other mental bonuses ranked near the bottom of what was considered fun in sports
After the participants listed the determinants of fun they were then asked to sort the 81 factors on their importance frequency and feasibility The top three factors that made sports fun were being a good sport trying hard and positive coaching Other fun factors that fell under the fundamental tenets included learning and improving game time support games practices team friendships mental bonuses team rituals and lsquoswagrsquo (new jerseys and equipment or trophies and medals) Surprisingly winning and lsquoswagrsquo ranked near the bottom (Journal of Physical Activity and Health)
4 ST CUTHBERTrsquoS COLLEGE MAGAZINE | APRIL 2016
DURING THE BOARDrsquoS RECENT STRATEGY SESSION AND OUR CONTINUING PRINCIPAL RECRUITMENT PROCESS WE HAVE TAKEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO REFLECT ON THE VALUES PRINCIPLES AND
ASPIRATIONS THAT UNDERPIN ST CUTHBERTrsquoS COLLEGE MANY OF THE IDEAS WE HAVE DISCUSSED ALIGN CLOSELY WITH THE PRINCIPLES AND VALUES OF THE OLYMPICS AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF OLYMPISM Striving for excellence is a central component of both the Olympics and the College The achievement of St Cuthbertrsquos girls across a wide range of academic sporting cultural and service pursuits is phenomenal The breadth of achievement is a testament to the holistic education the College provides St Cuthbertrsquos recognises and embraces the many and varied skills passions and abilities of our girls and provides the opportunities for them to pursue
Olympic Principles amp Values
FROM THE BOARD
and excel in many areas In recognising the achievements of our students we also acknowledge that this excellence would not have been possible without the wealth of expertise support and dedication of the staff and wider College community
While the Olympics encourages and celebrates excellence the Olympic creed positions the struggle as more important than the triumph stating the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well It is important that in striving for excellence we also create well-rounded girls who have the breadth of knowledge integrity of character and sense of purpose to contribute to our society in diverse and meaningful ways We must ensure that our girls develop the ability to think creatively and critically the confidence and courage to take risks and explore new directions and the resilience to keep going in the face of adversity and change
Just as the Olympics must balance its traditions with the need to continually evolve (perhaps most evident in the addition of new sports every four years) St Cuthbertrsquos too must find a way to continue to adapt to our changing world while remaining true to our traditions and founding values Similarly to the strong values that underpin the Olympics St Cuthbertrsquos also is founded on core values encapsulated by our motto By Love Serve As a Board we see the values and traditions of the College as the foundation of the school and paramount in driving the future evolution of the College

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels
included and at home After all we spend a lot of time together
Our overall goal is maintaining the huge role that boarding already has in our
College as we progress through the year as well as for the future I look forward
to the opportunities that await

JUNIOR SCHOOLJUNIOR SCHOOL
TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration
Scarlett Robb
I loved decorating our
class bonnets with lots of
fancy Easter decorations
When I wore our class
bonnet during the parade
glitter kept drifting to the
ground like snowflakes
I hope we make bonnets

YEAR 4 CAMP TO SONSHINE RANCH
YEAR 3 CAMP
As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac
Claudia White
At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real
plane I could see all
around me Isla Spring
My favourite part of the
camp was when we went
to the museum I loved
looking at the World War
1 exhibition and going in
the trenches Emma Zhao
I really enjoyed sleeping in
the classroom We all got
to bring a favourite toy from
home I brought my bunny

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

ldquoTake your markshellip BEEPrdquo The Centennial
Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

OLD GIRLS ASSOCIATION
CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

2 ST CUTHBERTrsquoS COLLEGE MAGAZINE | APRIL 2016
FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Premier Water Polo Team supporters
THE RECENT REVELATIONS ABOUT THE USE OF PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS WITHIN RUSSIAN OLYMPIC PROGRAMMES AND THE STRUGGLES OF
THE IAAF UNDER CHAIRMAN LORD COE TO ELIMINATE DRUG ABUSE IN ATHLETICS HAVE BEEN OF HUGE CONCERN TO EVERYONE WHO VALUES THE IDEALS AND ASPIRATIONS OF THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT IN NEW ZEALAND THERE HAS BEEN HUGE SUPPORT FOR VALERIE ADAMS HER EXPERIENCE HAS MADE THE DESTRUCTIVE IMPACT DRUG CHEATS HAVE ON THOSE ATHLETES WHO LIVE BY THE OLYMPIC IDEALS MUCH MORE REAL AND MUCH CLOSER TO HOME
For decades Olympic competitors have demonstrated for our children the importance of that Olympic maxim
The most important thing is not winning but taking part the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well
Recent events have threatened to undermine that Olympic mantra with the alternative message that the Olympics is about winning at all costs that the Olympic motto Citius Altius Fortius (Faster Higher Stronger) has for a few athletes a sub-clause ldquoand the end justifies all and any meansrdquo
Hard Work and Integrity
3COLLEGE TIES
This issue of College Ties is packed full of achievement from current students and aspiring Old Girl Olympians as we take a look at what some of the Collegersquos best athletes are doing on their road to Rio
We know that seeing girls learning and achieving is really important to our audience so to this end we have redesigned our magazine to make it even more visually striking for readers with lots of photos and student reflections about recent College activities
In addition you will see dotted throughout the magazine stories marked with this sentence ldquoAdditional content available digitally visit stcuthbertsschoolnzrdquo Where this appears readers can navigate to the online version of College Ties available on the home page of the College website to see more photos and writing from our students
I think the three ldquoofficialrdquo Olympic
values - Excellence Friendship and
Respect - provide great starting
places for us as teachers coaches
and parents
For most of us this has been a deeply distressing development as the Olympic ideals have such resonance with us
We know that simply getting to the Olympics is a huge achievement in an athletersquos life and we know what sacrifices they have made and how honoured they feel to be representing their country I have heard some of our own Olympians talk of what pursuing their Olympic aspirations has meant for their families their studies their friendships their bank balances and their bodies Yet despite all of those sacrifices they remain true to those Olympic ideals
How then do we keep those Olympic ideals alive for our children How do we make taking part and fighting well the core motivation for them so that winning is the wonderful outcome (sometimes) of those two elements
Children have to feel from their first experience of competitive sport that being involved and working hard to improve their skills are ends in themselves to be valued for themselves It is great to celebrate when our kids win their games it is just as important to draw any genuine positives from when they lose Empty unearned praise as Carol Dweck reminds us can have negative outcomes and be demotivating Above all children have to see sport as fun
Last week I watched our Premier Water Polo Team win the North Island Secondary Schools title while the final illustrated how committed fit and tough you have to be at this level what was also clear was that the girls were still having fun that they laughed lots before and after the game and that there were many close bonds within the team
I think the three ldquoofficialrdquo Olympic values - Excellence Friendship and Respect - provide great starting places for us as teachers coaches and parents
Mrs Lynda Reid Principal

Senior School hockey players warm up with
the Black SticksA recent article I read reported that
The Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University in Washington DC identified a number of lsquofun factorsrsquo after asking 236 participants (142 kid soccer players 37 coaches and 57 parents) to list all of the things that make playing sports fun for kids Winning and other mental bonuses ranked near the bottom of what was considered fun in sports
After the participants listed the determinants of fun they were then asked to sort the 81 factors on their importance frequency and feasibility The top three factors that made sports fun were being a good sport trying hard and positive coaching Other fun factors that fell under the fundamental tenets included learning and improving game time support games practices team friendships mental bonuses team rituals and lsquoswagrsquo (new jerseys and equipment or trophies and medals) Surprisingly winning and lsquoswagrsquo ranked near the bottom (Journal of Physical Activity and Health)
4 ST CUTHBERTrsquoS COLLEGE MAGAZINE | APRIL 2016
DURING THE BOARDrsquoS RECENT STRATEGY SESSION AND OUR CONTINUING PRINCIPAL RECRUITMENT PROCESS WE HAVE TAKEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO REFLECT ON THE VALUES PRINCIPLES AND
ASPIRATIONS THAT UNDERPIN ST CUTHBERTrsquoS COLLEGE MANY OF THE IDEAS WE HAVE DISCUSSED ALIGN CLOSELY WITH THE PRINCIPLES AND VALUES OF THE OLYMPICS AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF OLYMPISM Striving for excellence is a central component of both the Olympics and the College The achievement of St Cuthbertrsquos girls across a wide range of academic sporting cultural and service pursuits is phenomenal The breadth of achievement is a testament to the holistic education the College provides St Cuthbertrsquos recognises and embraces the many and varied skills passions and abilities of our girls and provides the opportunities for them to pursue
Olympic Principles amp Values
FROM THE BOARD
and excel in many areas In recognising the achievements of our students we also acknowledge that this excellence would not have been possible without the wealth of expertise support and dedication of the staff and wider College community
While the Olympics encourages and celebrates excellence the Olympic creed positions the struggle as more important than the triumph stating the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well It is important that in striving for excellence we also create well-rounded girls who have the breadth of knowledge integrity of character and sense of purpose to contribute to our society in diverse and meaningful ways We must ensure that our girls develop the ability to think creatively and critically the confidence and courage to take risks and explore new directions and the resilience to keep going in the face of adversity and change
Just as the Olympics must balance its traditions with the need to continually evolve (perhaps most evident in the addition of new sports every four years) St Cuthbertrsquos too must find a way to continue to adapt to our changing world while remaining true to our traditions and founding values Similarly to the strong values that underpin the Olympics St Cuthbertrsquos also is founded on core values encapsulated by our motto By Love Serve As a Board we see the values and traditions of the College as the foundation of the school and paramount in driving the future evolution of the College

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels
included and at home After all we spend a lot of time together
Our overall goal is maintaining the huge role that boarding already has in our
College as we progress through the year as well as for the future I look forward
to the opportunities that await

TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration

bonnet during the parade
glitter kept drifting to the
ground like snowflakes

As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac

At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real

My favourite part of the
camp was when we went
to the museum I loved
looking at the World War
1 exhibition and going in
the trenches Emma Zhao
I really enjoyed sleeping in

to bring a favourite toy from

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

YEAR 8 CAMPBrooke Darrow and Natalia Simmonds
Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

MIDDLE SCHOOL
ldquoTake your markshellip BEEPrdquo The Centennial
Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

3COLLEGE TIES
This issue of College Ties is packed full of achievement from current students and aspiring Old Girl Olympians as we take a look at what some of the Collegersquos best athletes are doing on their road to Rio
We know that seeing girls learning and achieving is really important to our audience so to this end we have redesigned our magazine to make it even more visually striking for readers with lots of photos and student reflections about recent College activities
In addition you will see dotted throughout the magazine stories marked with this sentence ldquoAdditional content available digitally visit stcuthbertsschoolnzrdquo Where this appears readers can navigate to the online version of College Ties available on the home page of the College website to see more photos and writing from our students
I think the three ldquoofficialrdquo Olympic
values - Excellence Friendship and
Respect - provide great starting
places for us as teachers coaches
and parents
For most of us this has been a deeply distressing development as the Olympic ideals have such resonance with us
We know that simply getting to the Olympics is a huge achievement in an athletersquos life and we know what sacrifices they have made and how honoured they feel to be representing their country I have heard some of our own Olympians talk of what pursuing their Olympic aspirations has meant for their families their studies their friendships their bank balances and their bodies Yet despite all of those sacrifices they remain true to those Olympic ideals
How then do we keep those Olympic ideals alive for our children How do we make taking part and fighting well the core motivation for them so that winning is the wonderful outcome (sometimes) of those two elements
Children have to feel from their first experience of competitive sport that being involved and working hard to improve their skills are ends in themselves to be valued for themselves It is great to celebrate when our kids win their games it is just as important to draw any genuine positives from when they lose Empty unearned praise as Carol Dweck reminds us can have negative outcomes and be demotivating Above all children have to see sport as fun
Last week I watched our Premier Water Polo Team win the North Island Secondary Schools title while the final illustrated how committed fit and tough you have to be at this level what was also clear was that the girls were still having fun that they laughed lots before and after the game and that there were many close bonds within the team
I think the three ldquoofficialrdquo Olympic values - Excellence Friendship and Respect - provide great starting places for us as teachers coaches and parents

Senior School hockey players warm up with

The Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University in Washington DC identified a number of lsquofun factorsrsquo after asking 236 participants (142 kid soccer players 37 coaches and 57 parents) to list all of the things that make playing sports fun for kids Winning and other mental bonuses ranked near the bottom of what was considered fun in sports
After the participants listed the determinants of fun they were then asked to sort the 81 factors on their importance frequency and feasibility The top three factors that made sports fun were being a good sport trying hard and positive coaching Other fun factors that fell under the fundamental tenets included learning and improving game time support games practices team friendships mental bonuses team rituals and lsquoswagrsquo (new jerseys and equipment or trophies and medals) Surprisingly winning and lsquoswagrsquo ranked near the bottom (Journal of Physical Activity and Health)
4 ST CUTHBERTrsquoS COLLEGE MAGAZINE | APRIL 2016
DURING THE BOARDrsquoS RECENT STRATEGY SESSION AND OUR CONTINUING PRINCIPAL RECRUITMENT PROCESS WE HAVE TAKEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO REFLECT ON THE VALUES PRINCIPLES AND
ASPIRATIONS THAT UNDERPIN ST CUTHBERTrsquoS COLLEGE MANY OF THE IDEAS WE HAVE DISCUSSED ALIGN CLOSELY WITH THE PRINCIPLES AND VALUES OF THE OLYMPICS AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF OLYMPISM Striving for excellence is a central component of both the Olympics and the College The achievement of St Cuthbertrsquos girls across a wide range of academic sporting cultural and service pursuits is phenomenal The breadth of achievement is a testament to the holistic education the College provides St Cuthbertrsquos recognises and embraces the many and varied skills passions and abilities of our girls and provides the opportunities for them to pursue
Olympic Principles amp Values
FROM THE BOARD
and excel in many areas In recognising the achievements of our students we also acknowledge that this excellence would not have been possible without the wealth of expertise support and dedication of the staff and wider College community
While the Olympics encourages and celebrates excellence the Olympic creed positions the struggle as more important than the triumph stating the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well It is important that in striving for excellence we also create well-rounded girls who have the breadth of knowledge integrity of character and sense of purpose to contribute to our society in diverse and meaningful ways We must ensure that our girls develop the ability to think creatively and critically the confidence and courage to take risks and explore new directions and the resilience to keep going in the face of adversity and change
Just as the Olympics must balance its traditions with the need to continually evolve (perhaps most evident in the addition of new sports every four years) St Cuthbertrsquos too must find a way to continue to adapt to our changing world while remaining true to our traditions and founding values Similarly to the strong values that underpin the Olympics St Cuthbertrsquos also is founded on core values encapsulated by our motto By Love Serve As a Board we see the values and traditions of the College as the foundation of the school and paramount in driving the future evolution of the College

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels
included and at home After all we spend a lot of time together
Our overall goal is maintaining the huge role that boarding already has in our
College as we progress through the year as well as for the future I look forward
to the opportunities that await

TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual

Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior

Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration

As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically

three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

running around in their school togs and their

from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too
Rev Roxy Gahegan
The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

4 ST CUTHBERTrsquoS COLLEGE MAGAZINE | APRIL 2016
DURING THE BOARDrsquoS RECENT STRATEGY SESSION AND OUR CONTINUING PRINCIPAL RECRUITMENT PROCESS WE HAVE TAKEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO REFLECT ON THE VALUES PRINCIPLES AND
ASPIRATIONS THAT UNDERPIN ST CUTHBERTrsquoS COLLEGE MANY OF THE IDEAS WE HAVE DISCUSSED ALIGN CLOSELY WITH THE PRINCIPLES AND VALUES OF THE OLYMPICS AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF OLYMPISM Striving for excellence is a central component of both the Olympics and the College The achievement of St Cuthbertrsquos girls across a wide range of academic sporting cultural and service pursuits is phenomenal The breadth of achievement is a testament to the holistic education the College provides St Cuthbertrsquos recognises and embraces the many and varied skills passions and abilities of our girls and provides the opportunities for them to pursue
Olympic Principles amp Values
FROM THE BOARD
and excel in many areas In recognising the achievements of our students we also acknowledge that this excellence would not have been possible without the wealth of expertise support and dedication of the staff and wider College community
While the Olympics encourages and celebrates excellence the Olympic creed positions the struggle as more important than the triumph stating the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well It is important that in striving for excellence we also create well-rounded girls who have the breadth of knowledge integrity of character and sense of purpose to contribute to our society in diverse and meaningful ways We must ensure that our girls develop the ability to think creatively and critically the confidence and courage to take risks and explore new directions and the resilience to keep going in the face of adversity and change
Just as the Olympics must balance its traditions with the need to continually evolve (perhaps most evident in the addition of new sports every four years) St Cuthbertrsquos too must find a way to continue to adapt to our changing world while remaining true to our traditions and founding values Similarly to the strong values that underpin the Olympics St Cuthbertrsquos also is founded on core values encapsulated by our motto By Love Serve As a Board we see the values and traditions of the College as the foundation of the school and paramount in driving the future evolution of the College

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels

TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration
Scarlett Robb
I loved decorating our
class bonnets with lots of
fancy Easter decorations
When I wore our class
bonnet during the parade
glitter kept drifting to the
ground like snowflakes
I hope we make bonnets

YEAR 4 CAMP TO SONSHINE RANCH
YEAR 3 CAMP
As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac
Claudia White
At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real
plane I could see all
around me Isla Spring
My favourite part of the
camp was when we went
to the museum I loved
looking at the World War
1 exhibition and going in
the trenches Emma Zhao
I really enjoyed sleeping in
the classroom We all got
to bring a favourite toy from
home I brought my bunny

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

YEAR 8 CAMPBrooke Darrow and Natalia Simmonds
Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

ldquoTake your markshellip BEEPrdquo The Centennial
Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels
included and at home After all we spend a lot of time together
Our overall goal is maintaining the huge role that boarding already has in our
College as we progress through the year as well as for the future I look forward
to the opportunities that await

TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration

YEAR 4 CAMP TO SONSHINE RANCH
YEAR 3 CAMP
As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac
Claudia White
At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real
plane I could see all
around me Isla Spring
My favourite part of the
camp was when we went
to the museum I loved
looking at the World War
1 exhibition and going in
the trenches Emma Zhao
I really enjoyed sleeping in

to bring a favourite toy from

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

YEAR 8 CAMPBrooke Darrow and Natalia Simmonds
Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels
included and at home After all we spend a lot of time together
Our overall goal is maintaining the huge role that boarding already has in our
College as we progress through the year as well as for the future I look forward
to the opportunities that await

TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration
Scarlett Robb
I loved decorating our
class bonnets with lots of
fancy Easter decorations
When I wore our class
bonnet during the parade
glitter kept drifting to the
ground like snowflakes
I hope we make bonnets

YEAR 4 CAMP TO SONSHINE RANCH
YEAR 3 CAMP
As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac
Claudia White
At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real
plane I could see all
around me Isla Spring
My favourite part of the
camp was when we went
to the museum I loved
looking at the World War
1 exhibition and going in
the trenches Emma Zhao
I really enjoyed sleeping in

to bring a favourite toy from

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

YEAR 8 CAMPBrooke Darrow and Natalia Simmonds
Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels
included and at home After all we spend a lot of time together
Our overall goal is maintaining the huge role that boarding already has in our
College as we progress through the year as well as for the future I look forward
to the opportunities that await

TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration

As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac

At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real
plane I could see all

My favourite part of the
camp was when we went
to the museum I loved
looking at the World War

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels
included and at home After all we spend a lot of time together
Our overall goal is maintaining the huge role that boarding already has in our
College as we progress through the year as well as for the future I look forward
to the opportunities that await

TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration
Scarlett Robb
I loved decorating our
class bonnets with lots of
fancy Easter decorations
When I wore our class
bonnet during the parade
glitter kept drifting to the
ground like snowflakes
I hope we make bonnets

though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh

At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac

At the museum we
went on this amazing

wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real

My favourite part of the

to the museum I loved
looking at the World War
1 exhibition and going in
the trenches Emma Zhao

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

YEAR 8 CAMPBrooke Darrow and Natalia Simmonds
Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

ldquoTake your markshellip BEEPrdquo The Centennial
Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels
included and at home After all we spend a lot of time together
Our overall goal is maintaining the huge role that boarding already has in our
College as we progress through the year as well as for the future I look forward
to the opportunities that await

TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration
Scarlett Robb
I loved decorating our
class bonnets with lots of
fancy Easter decorations
When I wore our class
bonnet during the parade
glitter kept drifting to the
ground like snowflakes
I hope we make bonnets

YEAR 4 CAMP TO SONSHINE RANCH
YEAR 3 CAMP
As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac
Claudia White
At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real
plane I could see all
around me Isla Spring
My favourite part of the
camp was when we went
to the museum I loved
looking at the World War
1 exhibition and going in
the trenches Emma Zhao
I really enjoyed sleeping in
the classroom We all got
to bring a favourite toy from
home I brought my bunny

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

ldquoTake your markshellip BEEPrdquo The Centennial
Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

OLD GIRLS ASSOCIATION
CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels
included and at home After all we spend a lot of time together
Our overall goal is maintaining the huge role that boarding already has in our
College as we progress through the year as well as for the future I look forward
to the opportunities that await

TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration
Scarlett Robb
I loved decorating our
class bonnets with lots of
fancy Easter decorations
When I wore our class
bonnet during the parade
glitter kept drifting to the

YEAR 4 CAMP TO SONSHINE RANCH
YEAR 3 CAMP
As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac
Claudia White
At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real
plane I could see all
around me Isla Spring
My favourite part of the
camp was when we went
to the museum I loved
looking at the World War
1 exhibition and going in
the trenches Emma Zhao
I really enjoyed sleeping in

to bring a favourite toy from

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

YEAR 8 CAMPBrooke Darrow and Natalia Simmonds
Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

ldquoTake your markshellip BEEPrdquo The Centennial
Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year
Recipient of the 2016 Violet Wood Study Grant

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels
included and at home After all we spend a lot of time together
Our overall goal is maintaining the huge role that boarding already has in our
College as we progress through the year as well as for the future I look forward
to the opportunities that await

JUNIOR SCHOOLJUNIOR SCHOOL
TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration
Scarlett Robb
I loved decorating our
class bonnets with lots of
fancy Easter decorations
When I wore our class
bonnet during the parade
glitter kept drifting to the
ground like snowflakes
I hope we make bonnets

YEAR 4 CAMP TO SONSHINE RANCH
YEAR 3 CAMP
As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac
Claudia White
At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real
plane I could see all
around me Isla Spring
My favourite part of the
camp was when we went
to the museum I loved
looking at the World War
1 exhibition and going in
the trenches Emma Zhao
I really enjoyed sleeping in
the classroom We all got
to bring a favourite toy from
home I brought my bunny
Anita Patel-Smith
I liked the awesome
flying fox at the Totara
Park playground It went
so fast Doris Wu

XXXXXXX XXXXX JUNIOR SCHOOL
Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

YEAR 8 CAMPBrooke Darrow and Natalia Simmonds
Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

ldquoTake your markshellip BEEPrdquo The Centennial
Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

SENIOR SCHOOL
WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels
included and at home After all we spend a lot of time together
Our overall goal is maintaining the huge role that boarding already has in our
College as we progress through the year as well as for the future I look forward
to the opportunities that await

TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff

EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration
Scarlett Robb
I loved decorating our
class bonnets with lots of
fancy Easter decorations
When I wore our class
bonnet during the parade
glitter kept drifting to the
ground like snowflakes
I hope we make bonnets

YEAR 4 CAMP TO SONSHINE RANCH
YEAR 3 CAMP
As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac
Claudia White
At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real
plane I could see all
around me Isla Spring
My favourite part of the

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

YEAR 8 CAMPBrooke Darrow and Natalia Simmonds
Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

ldquoTake your markshellip BEEPrdquo The Centennial
Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

16 ST CUTHBERTrsquoS COLLEGE MAGAZINE | APRIL 2016
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels
included and at home After all we spend a lot of time together
Our overall goal is maintaining the huge role that boarding already has in our
College as we progress through the year as well as for the future I look forward
to the opportunities that await

TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration
Scarlett Robb
I loved decorating our
class bonnets with lots of
fancy Easter decorations
When I wore our class
bonnet during the parade
glitter kept drifting to the
ground like snowflakes
I hope we make bonnets

YEAR 4 CAMP TO SONSHINE RANCH
YEAR 3 CAMP
As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac
Claudia White
At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real
plane I could see all
around me Isla Spring
My favourite part of the
camp was when we went
to the museum I loved
looking at the World War
1 exhibition and going in
the trenches Emma Zhao
I really enjoyed sleeping in
the classroom We all got
to bring a favourite toy from
home I brought my bunny
Anita Patel-Smith
I liked the awesome
flying fox at the Totara

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

YEAR 8 CAMPBrooke Darrow and Natalia Simmonds
Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

ldquoTake your markshellip BEEPrdquo The Centennial
Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels
included and at home After all we spend a lot of time together
Our overall goal is maintaining the huge role that boarding already has in our
College as we progress through the year as well as for the future I look forward
to the opportunities that await

JUNIOR SCHOOLJUNIOR SCHOOL
TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

WHATrsquoS NEW IN THE JUNIOR SCHOOL Foundation Fitness Year 1-3Childrenrsquos sensory and physical development affects their ability to remember what they see hear and do Foundation Fitness enables our girls to develop these skills so that when they move into formal learning situations they will find success more readily and be more lsquoswitched on to learningrsquo

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration
Scarlett Robb
I loved decorating our
class bonnets with lots of
fancy Easter decorations
When I wore our class
bonnet during the parade
glitter kept drifting to the
ground like snowflakes
I hope we make bonnets

YEAR 4 CAMP TO SONSHINE RANCH
YEAR 3 CAMP
As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac
Claudia White
At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real
plane I could see all
around me Isla Spring
My favourite part of the
camp was when we went
to the museum I loved
looking at the World War
1 exhibition and going in
the trenches Emma Zhao
I really enjoyed sleeping in
the classroom We all got
to bring a favourite toy from
home I brought my bunny
Anita Patel-Smith
I liked the awesome
flying fox at the Totara

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

YEAR 8 CAMPBrooke Darrow and Natalia Simmonds
Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

ldquoTake your markshellip BEEPrdquo The Centennial
Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

OLD GIRLS ASSOCIATION
CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels
included and at home After all we spend a lot of time together
Our overall goal is maintaining the huge role that boarding already has in our
College as we progress through the year as well as for the future I look forward
to the opportunities that await

TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration
Scarlett Robb
I loved decorating our
class bonnets with lots of
fancy Easter decorations
When I wore our class
bonnet during the parade
glitter kept drifting to the
ground like snowflakes
I hope we make bonnets

YEAR 4 CAMP TO SONSHINE RANCH
YEAR 3 CAMP
As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac
Claudia White
At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real
plane I could see all
around me Isla Spring
My favourite part of the
camp was when we went
to the museum I loved
looking at the World War
1 exhibition and going in
the trenches Emma Zhao
I really enjoyed sleeping in
the classroom We all got
to bring a favourite toy from
home I brought my bunny
Anita Patel-Smith
I liked the awesome

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

YEAR 8 CAMPBrooke Darrow and Natalia Simmonds
Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

ldquoTake your markshellip BEEPrdquo The Centennial
Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

AS CHAIR OF THE ST CUTHBERTrsquoS COLLEGE TRUST BOARD IT IS MY GREAT PLEASURE TO PRESENT THE ROBERTSON CIRCLE FINANCIAL REVIEW 2015 In 2015 the
College family through the Robertson Circle has again made a significant financial contribution to St Cuthbertrsquos with $236578 raised for the Arts Building Endowment Innovation Scholarship and Sports Funds
The philanthropic support of so many St Cuthbertrsquos families and staff past and present leaves us a legacy of outstanding resources and facilities This support allows us to continually invest in new capital building projects other operating costs and general maintenance which fees alone do not cover
I would like to welcome and thank the members of the Robertson Circle who have joined us this year To our existing members thank you most
sincerely for your continued support We are all united in the common goal of creating remarkable futures for our girls and with your support we are able to deliver world-class facilities and ensure our students have the best opportunities available
On behalf of the St Cuthbertrsquos College Educational Trust Board Principal Lynda Reid and the Robertson Circle family I would like to thank retiring Chair Alan Clarke for his leadership of the Robertson Circle over the last two years I would also like to recognise the remarkable contribution of retiring Patron and Old Girl Gretchen Hawkesby who has been a stalwart of the Robertson Circle since the early days She is a visionary fundraiser who has made a significant contribution through her organisation of successful events such as the Boysrsquo Big Night Out
I also offer my thanks to Debbie Cook who recently retired as Director of Development for her outstanding contribution to the Robertson Circle and St Cuthbertrsquos As a result of her tireless efforts boundless energy and passion she leaves the College in great heart
Finally to Robertson Circle Patrons Mark Clatworthy Duncan Leigh Rob Hamilton and Tim Vickers thank you most warmly for your support this year

OLD GIRLS ASSOCIATION
CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

16 ST CUTHBERTrsquoS COLLEGE MAGAZINE | APRIL 2016
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Introducing Our Head Girl and Head Boarder
Head Girl - Antonia YoungBeing chosen as the 2016 Head Girl of St Cuthbertrsquos College is my absolute priority
privilege and an opportunity to give back to the place that has given me so much
When I started here in Year 1 I remember hearing the teachers refer to the Senior School
students as ldquothe big girlsrdquo followed by ldquothat will be you one dayrdquo but I never thought the day
would come Twelve years later I have the honour of leading the remarkable class of 2016
dressed in the unmistakable orange ribbon The 2016 cohort has already made unforgettable
memories and I look forward to a year filled with events that bring our year closer
together I also hope to make bonds between the Senior and Junior students in the College
As a student who was lucky enough to experience the Junior Middle and Senior Schools I
know how different each of these parts in life are Creating links and building relationships
between the schools will be beneficial to the younger girls as it will give them mentors and
an idea of what is to come Senior girls will have the opportunity to show leadership and
responsibility within the College
While this year brings many new challenges and opportunities I plan to approach
all things with a positive mindset and the willingness to take on my new and exciting
responsibilities St Cuthbertrsquos has been a massive part in helping me grow into who
I am today and I am honoured that I have been chosen to lead such an amazing place
Head Boarder - Eleanor HerbertFrom a young age I knew that I was going to be leaving my hometown of
Whangarei to be a Boarder at St Cuthbertrsquos It is now five years since my first
night and I can truly say what a privilege it has been to be a part of such a joyous
and fun-loving community a place I tend to think of as my second home The
Boarders form an essential part of the College bringing together cultures from
all over the globe into a single community with a common love for enjoyment
Something that has made boarding so special for me is the connections I
have made both inside and outside of my year group Having the opportunity
to represent my fellow Boarders is in my eyes something very important As
Deputy Head Boarder Georgia Couper and I take on this year we hope to
maintain what is so strongly a part of boarding tradition as well as working to
improve or add new things that might make life just that little bit better We
will embark on making such changes in the mindset of ensuring everyone feels
included and at home After all we spend a lot of time together
Our overall goal is maintaining the huge role that boarding already has in our
College as we progress through the year as well as for the future I look forward
to the opportunities that await

TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration
Scarlett Robb
I loved decorating our
class bonnets with lots of
fancy Easter decorations
When I wore our class
bonnet during the parade
glitter kept drifting to the
ground like snowflakes
I hope we make bonnets

YEAR 4 CAMP TO SONSHINE RANCH
YEAR 3 CAMP
As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac
Claudia White
At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real
plane I could see all
around me Isla Spring
My favourite part of the
camp was when we went
to the museum I loved
looking at the World War
1 exhibition and going in
the trenches Emma Zhao
I really enjoyed sleeping in
the classroom We all got
to bring a favourite toy from
home I brought my bunny

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

OLD GIRLS ASSOCIATION
CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year
Recipient of the 2016 Violet Wood Study Grant

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration
Scarlett Robb
I loved decorating our

fancy Easter decorations
When I wore our class
bonnet during the parade
glitter kept drifting to the
ground like snowflakes

As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis

a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac

At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real

My favourite part of the

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

AS CHAIR OF THE ST CUTHBERTrsquoS COLLEGE TRUST BOARD IT IS MY GREAT PLEASURE TO PRESENT THE ROBERTSON CIRCLE FINANCIAL REVIEW 2015 In 2015 the
College family through the Robertson Circle has again made a significant financial contribution to St Cuthbertrsquos with $236578 raised for the Arts Building Endowment Innovation Scholarship and Sports Funds
The philanthropic support of so many St Cuthbertrsquos families and staff past and present leaves us a legacy of outstanding resources and facilities This support allows us to continually invest in new capital building projects other operating costs and general maintenance which fees alone do not cover
I would like to welcome and thank the members of the Robertson Circle who have joined us this year To our existing members thank you most
sincerely for your continued support We are all united in the common goal of creating remarkable futures for our girls and with your support we are able to deliver world-class facilities and ensure our students have the best opportunities available
On behalf of the St Cuthbertrsquos College Educational Trust Board Principal Lynda Reid and the Robertson Circle family I would like to thank retiring Chair Alan Clarke for his leadership of the Robertson Circle over the last two years I would also like to recognise the remarkable contribution of retiring Patron and Old Girl Gretchen Hawkesby who has been a stalwart of the Robertson Circle since the early days She is a visionary fundraiser who has made a significant contribution through her organisation of successful events such as the Boysrsquo Big Night Out
I also offer my thanks to Debbie Cook who recently retired as Director of Development for her outstanding contribution to the Robertson Circle and St Cuthbertrsquos As a result of her tireless efforts boundless energy and passion she leaves the College in great heart
Finally to Robertson Circle Patrons Mark Clatworthy Duncan Leigh Rob Hamilton and Tim Vickers thank you most warmly for your support this year

OLD GIRLS ASSOCIATION
CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

TERM 1 IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR WITH MANY CELEBRATIONS COMPETITIONS EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (EOTC) EXPERIENCES AND
NEW INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF OUR GIRLSrsquo LEARNING The Junior School PampF organised a wonderful family picnic early in the term My thanks to our Year 13 Committee for their help in making popcorn and candy floss Making use of the Margaret Beale Aquatic Centre with zorbs floating on the water and the Mini Titans relay activities provided great excitement and fun for girls parents and staff
Our annual Swimming Sports was a huge success The Centennial Centre for Wellbeing provided a wonderful venue for this event with plenty of space for our girls staff and parents Girls competed in individual and House events My thanks to all of the staff in their support of the girls and their organisation for the day
EOTC enables our girls to make connections between the classroom and the world around them and promotes deep learning in a range of real-life contexts I had the privilege of joining Year 6 on their EOTC experience in Wellington During our
visit to the parliament question session the girls were very interested in the questions on STEM subjects and sugar tax Our girls are very well informed on current issues
Our Year 3 girls had their first overnight camp staying overnight at the College with day trips to the Museum Totara Park and the Botanic Gardens Year 4 went on their successful camp to Sonshine Ranch and we were thrilled by our girlsrsquo risk taking and perseverance in the many new activities My sincere thanks to all of the teachers in organising and planning such safe and rewarding experiences for our girls

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration
Scarlett Robb
I loved decorating our

fancy Easter decorations
When I wore our class
bonnet during the parade
glitter kept drifting to the
ground like snowflakes

As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis

a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac

At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real

My favourite part of the
camp was when we went

looking at the World War

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

running around in their school togs and their

The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year
Recipient of the 2016 Violet Wood Study Grant

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

EASTER BONNET PARADE On a sunny Tuesday morning
just after maths we happily
skipped up to the Junior
Gymnasium for the annual
Easter Bonnet Parade My
class were clutching our
Easter bonnet hats we made
the day earlier in groups
We quietly sat down in a
rectangle while music from
the movie Frozen filled our
ears Class by class we
paraded around the Junior
Gym displaying our colourful
Easter bonnets They were
covered with fluffy chicks
brightly coloured Easter
eggs ribbons and feathers
It was such a fun celebration
Scarlett Robb
I loved decorating our
class bonnets with lots of
fancy Easter decorations
When I wore our class
bonnet during the parade
glitter kept drifting to the
ground like snowflakes
I hope we make bonnets

YEAR 4 CAMP TO SONSHINE RANCH
YEAR 3 CAMP
As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac
Claudia White
At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real
plane I could see all
around me Isla Spring
My favourite part of the
camp was when we went
to the museum I loved
looking at the World War
1 exhibition and going in
the trenches Emma Zhao
I really enjoyed sleeping in
the classroom We all got
to bring a favourite toy from
home I brought my bunny
Anita Patel-Smith
I liked the awesome

Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

YEAR 8 CAMPBrooke Darrow and Natalia Simmonds
Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

ldquoTake your markshellip BEEPrdquo The Centennial
Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

YEAR 4 CAMP TO SONSHINE RANCH
YEAR 3 CAMP
As I was coming from
the humongous climbing
wall I was still sweating
and shivering from
the hard step up Even
though I didnrsquot complete
the climbing wall I felt I
accomplished a lot ldquoAh
That was so much fun
I wonder if I can do it
againrdquo I said to myself
enthusiastically
Isabella Toms
At camp I slept in the
bivouac There were only
three walls and they
were made out of wood
During the night I could
hear moreporks and tuis
chattering as I drifted into
a slumber I loved my
night in the bivouac
Claudia White
At the museum we
went on this amazing
aeroplane We had to
wear these goggles and
it made us feel like we
were actually in the real
plane I could see all
around me Isla Spring
My favourite part of the
camp was when we went
to the museum I loved
looking at the World War
1 exhibition and going in
the trenches Emma Zhao
I really enjoyed sleeping in
the classroom We all got
to bring a favourite toy from
home I brought my bunny
Anita Patel-Smith
I liked the awesome
flying fox at the Totara
Park playground It went
so fast Doris Wu

XXXXXXX XXXXX JUNIOR SCHOOL
Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

YEAR 8 CAMPBrooke Darrow and Natalia Simmonds
Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

ldquoTake your markshellip BEEPrdquo The Centennial
Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

XXXXXXX XXXXX JUNIOR SCHOOL
Yahoo we had just landed in freezing cold
Wellington and the summer breeze was
howling in my ears Our first stop was the
Te Papa Museum First we trotted off to the
sea hall It was terrific There were skeletons
of many unique different animals but our
main focus was on the squid with an eye as
massive as a soccer ball We found a lot of
facts about the squid and how they get sick
after facing light
After an amazing description we moved
on to the Gallipoli exhibition A shudder ran
through my spine as I glanced upwards to see
a realistic statue staring at me the statue was
made at Weta Workshop We found a station
where you could make poppies and write on
them and place them at the base of the statue
It was so significant to see people appreciate
the soldiers so much and to understand that
without them we would not be here
I have to say my favourite activity was
Capital E where everyone proved that we can
work together We got to experience different
roles on live TV I was a wardrobe costume
designer and it was such a great experience
but at the same time very stressful

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

YEAR 8 CAMPBrooke Darrow and Natalia Simmonds
Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

ldquoTake your markshellip BEEPrdquo The Centennial
Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

MIDDLE SCHOOL
THE EOTC EXPERIENCES OUR GIRLS GET IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE WONDERFUL WAYS TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND FOR US TO SEE OUR GIRLS SHINE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS We cannot run
these camps without a lot of support from parents and the 30 or so parents attending Year 7 and 8 camps have an incredible time as they support their daughtersrsquo teachers and become more connected with the Middle School community The Totara Springs Year 8 Camp was hugely successful this term and we look forward to Year 7 trekking off to Motutapu early next term
Our Kapa Haka group is strong again this year and all of the girls are enjoying the leadership of Senior School girls who come along and provide mentorship to them
In Year 7 we have been lucky enough to receive new furniture and this has provided a very modern and fun environment for our girls The wobble stools and chairs on wheels are particularly enjoyable and our girls love the new colour schemes The high tables give girls who prefer to stand the opportunity to do so whilst others sit on high stools so our spaces are so much more flexible A real hit are the whiteboard tables in every classroom
This term Reverend Gahegan lead us in a wonderful Year 7 Family Chapel on and we are really enjoying getting to know her as she settles in to College life
This year we have introduced a range of new enrichment experiences for our Year 7 and 8 girls and these will roll out over the next three terms Ms Deb Lean (Assistant Head of Middle School) is working with girls on an engineering project and their mentor is Old Girl engineer Melanie Wood Their project will be entered in a competition later in the year
Once again this year we will have our sports exchange with Arden School Arden is in Sydney and every second year a group of boys and girls come over to play sport and are billeted by our St Cuthbertrsquos families
Term 1 has gotten off to a fantastic start and we look forward to seeing what the rest of 2016 will bring in the Middle School

YEAR 8 CAMPBrooke Darrow and Natalia Simmonds
Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

YEAR 8 CAMPBrooke Darrow and Natalia Simmonds
Year 8 Camp was an absolute blast This year
we got the chance to go to Totara Springs
Matamata We had so much fun having a go
at all the activities meeting new friends and
trying things we may not have ever done We
had a two hour trip to get down there and the
wait was worth it We slept in bunk beds with
cabin groups which we got to choose May I
just mention the food was so delicious and
fresh and I wish I could have stayed longerWe had seven activities and
all of them were really fun
and intense One activity was
the Adventure Run where we
walked through muddy rivers
and lifted each other over
walls We also kayaked down
a river in pairs but I donrsquot
mean in separate kayaks I
mean in the exact same one
We also got into two groups
and made rafts seeing whorsquos
team could not only build a
stable and suitable raft but
also worked well together
BMX was a whole other story
Crate climb was a very
challenging activity some
got to six crates while others
got to over 20 Abseiling
was another challenge but
most girls managed to get
themselves down the cliff and
then swim across the very
cold river and out the other
side If you got time for a hot
swim at the end it was really
nice Year 8 Camp was a fun
experience and we all enjoyed
the week immensely

ldquoTake your markshellip BEEPrdquo The Centennial
Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

SENIOR SCHOOL
WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year
Recipient of the 2016 Violet Wood Study Grant

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

MIDDLE SCHOOL
ldquoTake your markshellip BEEPrdquo The Centennial
Centre erupted in House chants and yells of
encouragement for the swimmers It was Middle
School Swimming Sports and everyone was busily
running around in their school togs and their
multi coloured caps and goggles in a crazy flurry
The event started with the races and the pool
was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle
breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the
other medley races Almost everyone came out
from their race with either a marble or a smile
of pride or both Then was the Prefectsrsquo dance
The girls were wearing full-length body suits and
bikinis as they sang and danced in the pool with a
random array of music After a few more relays and
fun races the fun and busy day was over It was an
exciting day of House spirit chants new friends
and of course swimming for everyone

WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

SENIOR SCHOOL
WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands
Our cross country team under coach Mrs Dustan has been selected to represent New Zealand in Hungary for the World School Cross Country Championships
No matter what the focus our girlsrsquo display the same qualities demanded of Olympian They are passionate committed resilient focused determined and maximise all opportunities
Their successes are richly deserved

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

SENIOR SCHOOL
WHILE THE OLYMPICS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING FOR GOLD IN THE SPORTING ARENA OUR GIRLS SET BENCHMARKS OF EXCELLENCE NOT ONLY IN SPORT BUT IN
EVERY OTHER AREA AS WELL Term 1 has been a real celebration of achievement in all endeavours
The year started with the release of our 2015 academic results for both NCEA and IB We were so very proud of the achievement of the girls who excelled in both qualifications These results are not just a one off but are sustained year upon year Our constant review processes using data to inform change our wrap around personalised learning approach and high quality pastoral care come together to create a culture where girls can achieve their academic best Their success was recognised later in the term with our annual Scholarsrsquo Assembly a special event in the College calendar
This success continues at tertiary level Our 2015 girls were awarded over two million dollars in tertiary scholarship funding to support them in achieving career goals We were also delighted to congratulate old girl and 2011 College Dux Jade Leung Jade is one of the 2016 recipients of the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University
However an academic focus does not stop the girls enjoying themselves and making the most of the wide range of opportunities that Term 1 has provided Our cultural groups put many hours of practice into their preparation for both Pofiafia Night and Polyfest All possible places and spaces have been filled with girls actively practicing and performing It has been just wonderful to walk around and see so many actively involved and making the most the experiences available to them
In sport we have also made our mark over the term Our water polo girls have surpassed all opposition and are the North Island champions They are now focused on becoming national champions Our goalie Antonia Young deserves special mention She has the special role of Head Girl this year but is also the only current school student to be selected to play for the New Zealand team in a recent competition in The Netherlands

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

OLD GIRLS ASSOCIATION
CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

OLD GIRLS ASSOCIATION
CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

OLD GIRLS ASSOCIATION
CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year
Recipient of the 2016 Violet Wood Study Grant

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience

Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small

the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was

Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning

provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology

provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way

at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do

OLD GIRLS ASSOCIATION
CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEARrsquoS RECIPIENT OF THE VIOLET
WOOD ADVANCED STUDY GRANT RACHEL RACHMANI (1986-1990)
RACHELrsquoS EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PATH HAS BEEN VARIED
AND AT TIMES COLOURFUL SINCE LEAVING ST CUTHBERTrsquoS AND
HAS TAKEN HER IN UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONS OVER THE YEARS
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at Massey University
Rachel went travelling overseas On her return she undertook further
study in education which ignited a passion and she went on to complete a
Master of Education at Waikato University focusing on the skills children
need to get off to a good start in reading She then put this knowledge
into practice teaching children with specific learning difficulties During
this time she was encouraged by her employer to train as a C Grade
Educational Assessor She has been working as an Educational Assessor
in Cambridge for the last two years serving the local community and
wider region She works with children and adults to identify learning
difficulties such as dyslexia and recommends suitable interventions and
accommodations While working in her current role Rachel realised that
many people with learning differences also have other struggles which
are outside her professional realm This sparked the idea of returning
to university to study to be an educational psychologist allowing her to
provide a more comprehensive service to those who come to her seeking
support in reaching their potential She is absolutely thrilled to be the
recipient of the Violet Wood Advanced Study Grant which allows her to
begin studying towards her goal this year

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too
Rev Roxy Gahegan
The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

CHAPLAINS REPORT
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS MY LITTLE FAMILY OF FOUR HAS MADE A SLOW MIGRATION FROM NORTHERN TO SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES AND BACK AGAIN BUT DESPITE HAVING LIVED FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IrsquoM STILL SLIGHTLY DISORIENTED BY CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER AND EASTER IN AUTUMN
There is a part of me ndash the part with the typically British sense of humour and an apologetic approach to patriotism ndash that recalls fondly the pleasing symbiosis of springrsquos promising green buds with the celebration of life bursting forth from the empty tomb I canrsquot help but feel that the dark and dreary days of winter are a much more fitting backdrop for a cheery festival about the light of the world
But then those obvious connections can easily become mundane and just too simplistic The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of spring-time earth turning back toward the sun and our cooler shortening days encourage us to find a deeper meaning than the daffodils and fluffy chicks of the northern traditions
So in contrast to their promise of new life we have autumn harvests and the evergreen of our native trees Our summer visitor birds are not nesting but gathering themselves to journey on and our thoughts tend toward conserving energy and concentrating on the work needed over winter to be ready for exams - and barbeques - in spring
Easter occurs at a time of natural fullness but then one of the things that has struck me at St Cuthbertrsquos is just how full-on College life is There are so many opportunities available that it would seem like there is little chance that life would not be busy - all year round
And yet the fullness of all that activity can still leave an aftertaste of emptiness An emptiness that is half way to exhausted and that leads not to the delight of fresh new life that springs forth but to despair as more effort is required to sustain the fullness
Perhaps this is one of the ways the empty tomb of Easter offers us a different perspective Who thinks to celebrate emptiness after all Who thinks to delight in the space that is left behind Who thinks that something missing is something to shout about
Sometimes I think God has a rather British sense of humour too

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

while I was stroking Tana

everyone in time was stressful but we made it

John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience

the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do

Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)

Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very

When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it

at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions

It was my favourite because

the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body

WELLINGTON MEMORIES
A moment that I will
remember forever is seeing
a gleaming fantail high up
in a tree spreading out its
impressive tail feathers
while I was stroking Tana
the tuatara
Jaya Kalia
My favourite activity in Wellington was Capital E At Capital E Giselle and
I were the wardrobe people I really enjoyed dressing all the girls for their
different jobs Some peoplersquos characters were really fun to dress like Chloersquos
character because she was a gangster granny who knitted graffiti Jaya was also
fun to dress because she lived in and had built an upside down house Dressing
everyone in time was stressful but we made it
Charlotte Wren
Our trip to Parliament was the most
memorable moment for me and I
really want to remember it when I
am older My favourite things were
when David Seymour talked to us
about his job and we got to see
John Key at work
Sasha Gabriel
One moment from Wellington that
stood out to me was the Colonial
Cottage There we were sent into the
past to join the family of William and
Kate and their ten children We learnt
about the olden days and we winced at
how many chores a normal girl our age
had to do We played interesting games
that they used to play and we wrote on
blackboards that they used to write on
We learnt so much and it was definitely
a memorable experience
Zoe Guan
One of my favourite moments in
Wellington was when we got off the
Cable Car walked out of the station
and saw Wellington from a high point
the big city on the left and the small
houses on hills on the right And then
there was the wide harbour This was
the first time I saw Wellington as the
big place filled with beauty that it is
I wanted to stay there forever but we
soon had to leave That moment was
incredible
Elizabeth van Wijk
I looked down at the weary bricks swallowed by ancient moss A sign
had been planted which read ldquovegetablesrdquo I pictured two girls with
short bouncy hair chasing each other up and down the path then
feeding little titbits to the noisy chickens I imagined teenage boys
kicking a soccer ball and a little girl skipping with a rope This place
held very many memories
Chloe Wallace (about Colonial Cottage)
One of my moments to remember
from Wellington was Te Paparsquos
Gallipoli exhibition I liked it because
the life-like models looked like
giants and were so realistic It was
a great time to remember my great
grandfather and how he fought in the
war I loved how after each model
there was some information about
the war This was my most fun and
interesting time in Wellington
Rachel Duston
My favourite thing we did in
Wellington was making a TV show
at Capital E I was a sound operator
with Sasha and we were working
in the control room with the visual
effects managers Olivia and Gintara
Our job was to make sure people
were hearing the right people at the
right time and we were in charge of
the music that played At Capital E
I learnt how important teamwork is
but I also learnt I had a hidden talent
for technology
Georgia Barrett
WELLINGTON MEMORIES
One moment to remember for me
was the Colonial Cottage The little
old cottage is a place to remember
what it was like in the olden days I
learnt it was a tough life to live in
until you died and that in the olden
days life was really unfair Wellington
barely had any people living there
when the Wallis family moved there
and their last child died of a disease
from the water
Gintara Smith
On a warm early afternoon of our last day of our trip we arrived at Weta
Workshop We were showed in by a man called Scott but nobody was staring
at him We were all entranced by this big statue of an oark from the Hobbit
Scott broke our silence by talking about what Weta Workshop does They make
blood weapons and costumes for actors and films We were told to take no
photos when we went inside because it is strictly private
As we entered we saw all sorts of scary and cool things such as hair body
parts weapons costumes and much more Scott showed us how they made the
weapons Apparently you make a mold pour something into it and let it mold
Next he showed us Gimleyrsquos arm from Lord Of The Rings It looked very
sweaty When it got passed to me I nearly dropped it It was really heavy
After that we watched a movie from behind the scenes The person who
started Weta Workshop was called Richard Taylor and his wife Tania The
movie was very interesting in the sense that Weta Workshop had a big job to
provide scenery and props and make them look as close as possible to the way
it is described in a book To our amazement Scott told us that he started out
at Weta by sweeping floors then made blood and finally he started to make
props on film sets You just need to be really passionate about what you do
Caitlin Wong
A moment to remember from
Wellington was when we went to
Te Papa and saw the colossal squid
It was giant and the biggest squid
I have ever seen It was displayed
in a large tank and they said the
colossal squid had shrunk a bit
because of the chemicals While
we were all at Te Papa we also
looked a wharenui and explored the
Gallipoli war exhibition This will
be a moment that I will remember
Rosie Shiu
Early one morning during the middle of Term 1 the whole of Year 6 went on a three day trip to Wellington the
capital of New Zealand It was an educational trip learning more about the tragic accident the Wahine We learned
about war debating and Parliament line-dancing our environment and many many more things but it was also a lot
of fun I really enjoyed my trip to Wellington
When we boarded the aircraft I took some photos of the beautiful view We had a smooth flight and I had a
hokey-pokey white chocolate Cookie Time cookie which was amazing We then hit the runway with a bump the
bounce of the impact made me shudder
Jasmine and I sat on the bus together and took photos and selfies with my flash red camera We chatted all
the way to Te Papa the New Zealand Museum We ate our lunch on an amphitheatre outside the cafeteria before
depositing our bags in a metal cage
Once inside the museum we met our guide and saw a dead colossal squid and pygmy whale bones We then saw
an amazing marae and two more whares I discovered that instead of open fires in the whare the Maori people heat
up a huge stone and that would give them enough warmth for the evening
We then went to the Gallipoli exhibition in our groups and looked at the guns and what the trenches were like the
landscape the Anzacs fought in and the food they had to eat
Madeleine Clark
One moment to remember
for me at Wellington was
going to Weta Workshop I
found it interesting and it
has intrigued me to read and
watch The Hobbit and The
Lord of the Rings I liked how
our tour guide led us through
the wonderful exhibitions
and explained to use how she
makes the costumes and props
It was my favourite because
there were so many interesting
costumes there
