Principal’s Report
Andrew Wood
Principal
Principal back from sabbatical
Kia ora koutou - hello everyone! It’s
great to be back.
Whilst on leave last term, I carried out
research into the area of succession
planning, particularly in relation to all
levels of leadership. As an organisation
with just under 200 employees, human
resourse issues are significant for us
and I feel this was a fruitful and useful
area of focus. Any organisation is only as
effective as its people - but its obvious
how clearly this applies to schools! I will
be reporting to the Board of Trustees,
the staff and the Ministry of Education in
due course, and I think my findings have
direct benefit for the leadership and
management of James Hargest College.
I also had the opportunity for some
personal refreshment time and return,
well rested to rejoin our marvelous
team.
Finally, I want to express my personal
appreciation and best wishes to Mrs
Jane Pearce, my PA for her sterling work
over many years. All the best Jane!

Board of Trustees’ Report
Anne Henderson
Chairperson
Welcome back to Mr Wood from his
sabbatical! I would like to acknowledge
and thank Mrs Nadia Rose, Acting
Principal last term for leading the school
so ably and smoothly while Mr Wood
was on his sabbatical leave. A number of
other staff also stepped up - in particular
Mr Simon Richardson, who carried out
the role of Acting Deputy Principal.
Thank you to the support of all involved,
in making it possible for our Principal
to take leave from his post with full
confidence that the school would be in
good hands.
The smooth running of the school in Mr
Wood’s absence was a testament to the
depth of leadership we are privileged to
have here at Hargest.
I’d like to invite all parents and caregivers
to the PTA meeting on 3 November at
7.30pm in the Junior Campus library.
You do not need to be a member to
attend any of the meetings. At meetings
you will hear from senior school
management at both campuses about
recent activities at both campuses
and school wide developments. PTA
meetings are also, at times, used as a
forum for parents to provide feedback to
school management on a range of issues
thereby giving parents an opportunity
to have some input into their children’s
education. I look forward to seeing you
there.

Huhu Hunting
Student Support Centre
At the crack of dawn our intrepid team of
explorers were debriefed by Lindsay Hazely,
a very experienced and knowledgeable
consultant, on the urgent needs of our
iconic Southland Tuataras.
Megan Martin of Seven Sharp joined our
team as we launched our expedition into
the misty wilds of Daffodil Bay. Axes in
hand we attacked dead rotten logs with
great gusto in our search for pale, plump
huhu grubs. These slippery larvae were
cunningly hidden and extremely elusive.
With persistence and determination we
procured thirteen larvae of questionable
parentage? The wetas collected were a
bonus! The hundred, hungry hatchlings
back at the museum still enjoyed our
catch. The wetas were destined to a life of
hardship in their new, shared habitat with
their deadly enemy, the adult Tuatara.

The Human Machine
Fitter, Faster, Stronger!
During Term Three, Year 7 students have been learning about the human body. This unit
included learning about pubertal change, human anatomy and how we can train our body
to become fitter, faster, stronger and more skilful. Earlier in the term, Year 7 students
completed a range of fitness related challenges, such as; the prone hold, hexagon agility
test, 20 metre speed test, and a one minute burpee or skipping challenge. From their
results in this challenge, students identified S.M.A.R.T goals relating to their fitness and
then researched, designed and implemented their own training programmes. A key
understanding of this topic was that ‘With a goal focused approach and commitment, we
can achieve our goals.’ The enthusiasm and commitment students put into their training
was inspirational (motivating some teachers to reflect on their physical activity levels)
and resulted in almost all students achieving their goals when they were ‘Re-Challenged’
at the end of the term. A special thanks to Misty, Shane and the other fitness instructors
from SNAP Fitness, who kindly donated their time to take fitness classes with the Year 7
students.
Problem Solving

GATE Journalism
101
“Did you know that 98% of captions in
newspapers are read?”
Southland Times journalist Daryl
Holden came to visit us and tell us
some information about journalism. He
described to us what it was like, how to
keep an article interesting and simple and
how to use your senses to write a story,
just to name a few. He even described
to us the most interesting article he’s
done (it was about a former New Zealand
cricketer). We consulted Daryl as an expert
for our Journalism 101 GATE programme.
This gave us a hint into what it’s like being
a journalist and I’m pretty sure I want to
be a journalist like him.

Well done Hargest Mathematicians!
After the success of the first Year 9 and 10 play in 2014 the students yet again embraced the opportunity to perform in a non-singing
production. While many students had performed in the musical earlier in the year, the play saw some great performances from less
confident singers with considerable acting talent. There were also several students who undertook roles with less visible profiles – the
puppeteers, voice actors and the ever cheerful Tian trapped in the Dalek’s body. The audiences were very appreciative and the cast
thoroughly enjoyed themselves – which is what it is all about. The play was once again supported by senior students undertaking
responsibility for production roles – their input was invaluable.

Why Learn
Another
Language?
I studied French during my time at James
Hargest College as well as at Otago
University, where I also picked up Spanish.
Learning a language at school was one
of the best decisions I made, and has led
me to where I am today. In my final year
of university, I went on exchange for 6
months to live in Lyon, France. Following
this, I went and lived in Mexico City for 5
months. Being able to speak French and
Spanish while living in these places opened
up so many opportunities for me and
made it easy to make local friends, read
menus (very important!), and make the
most of life overseas.
I am now working at the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and Trade, where speaking
foreign languages is an invaluable skill. I
use my French and Spanish in an everyday
work context, and one day will hopefully
be working as a diplomat in a country
where one of these languages is spoken.
If you are thinking about working in the
international sphere, or even just want to
travel the world one day, learn a second
(or third or fourth) language - you won’t
regret it!

Sheilah Winn Shakespeare
London bound!
Congratulations to Dryw McArthur on his
selection to join about 20 other young
Shakespeare buffs to travel to and perform
at The Globe, London In 2016. He also
warranted special comment in the review
of the performances given by the students
who attended workshops in Wellington
these holidays.
“Amid a uniformly strong cast it may be
unfair to single one out but I feel bound to
say this will not be the last we see of Dryw
McArthur (from James Hargest College,
Invercargill).”

Tournament Week
Girls’ Football
Linwood Cup
The 1st XI Boys Football team travelled to
Dunedin to compete in the Linwood Cup.
They made life difficult for themselves
by losing to Otago Boys’ 2nd XI 2-1. They
should have won after hitting the post and
crossbar! They then beat Mount Hutt 3-0
but lost to Kavanagh 5-2. This left them
in the bottom half of the tournament.
Wins against Gore and Taieri set up a
9-10th playoff game against Linwood.
Unfortunately they lost 5-4 and ended the
tournament 10th.

They had a slow start to the tournament
against Mt Aspiring but picked up their
performance to beat Kavanagh College
9 - 0, Menzies 2-1 and Buller 4-0. In the
5th/6th final playoff, they were 1-0 behind
at half time but rallied in the second half
with a tenacious performance. Captain
Niamh Shirley delivered two exquisite
corners for Aimee Stubbs to score with not
one, but two spectacular headers in the
top corner of the goal. Thank you to Mrs

Teaching and Learning
Year 11-13 Reports
Reports for all Year 11-13 students will
be issued on Friday 23 October at 3.00pm.
Teachers have clearly documented where
students are at and what they need to do
to ensure they get the grades of which they
are capable in their external examinations
in November.
Please take the time to discuss your
son’s/daughter’s report, subject by subject,
and help them plan a study programme
for the next few weeks. How their time is
used during this period is paramount for
success.
Remind them that tutorials are
available in most subjects. Hargest teachers
are renowned for the generosity of their
time and extra effort they make to help
students.
It is important to keep all reports on
file at home as they are often required to
accompany scholarship applications etc.
Alternatively, copies of reports can be
downloaded via the parent login page on
www.jameshargest.school.nz
All families have been issued with
passwords.
