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

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

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

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

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 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

themselves down the cliff and

then swim across the very

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

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

We quietly sat down in a

Easter bonnets They were

covered with fluffy chicks

brightly coloured Easter

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

At camp I slept in the

three walls and they

were made out of wood

During the night I could

a slumber I loved my

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

skipped up to the Junior

Gymnasium for the annual

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

Easter bonnets They were

covered with fluffy chicks

brightly coloured Easter

eggs ribbons and feathers

It was such a fun celebration

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

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

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

Page 5: College Ties April 2016

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

We quietly sat down in a

Easter bonnets They were

covered with fluffy chicks

brightly coloured Easter

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

At camp I slept in the

three walls and they

were made out of wood

During the night I could

a slumber I loved my

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

exciting day of House spirit chants new friends

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

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

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

Rev Roxy Gahegan

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rev Roxy Gahegan

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

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

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

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

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

the trenches Emma Zhao

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rev Roxy Gahegan

The risen Jesus who appeared to the disciples is more than a seasonal symbol of the new life of

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

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

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

around me Isla Spring

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

The event started with the races and the pool

was constantly filled with girls doing freestyle

breaststroke butterfly backstroke and all the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

21COLLEGE TIES

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

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

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

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

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

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

spring-time earth turning back toward the sun

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

spring-time earth turning back toward the sun

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

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

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

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

Rev Roxy Gahegan

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

Rev Roxy Gahegan

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rev Roxy Gahegan

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

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

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

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

spring-time earth turning back toward the sun

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

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

Rev Roxy Gahegan

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

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

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

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

spring-time earth turning back toward the sun

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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 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

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
