From the Principal Tena koutou katoa
Term 4 Week 4 – It’s best
to finish strongly.
Week 4 is our week of Academic Prizegivings.
Year 12 students who achieved one ‘First in
Class’ award were presented with these last
today.
Congratulations to all those students who received awards at our Arts Awards on
Tuesday evening and Sports Awards on Thursday evening. The Arts Awards showcased
the amazing talents of our students in Kapa Haka, art, speech and debating,
dance, drama, choral and instrumental music. The Sports Awards highlighted the
outstanding performances of teams and individuals in a very wide range of sports,
from the traditional netball and rugby to karate, equestrian and ice hockey. Students participating in cocurricular activities pursue personal excellence beyond the classroom, and the skills they gain through
managing themselves and undertaking regular practice enhance their academic work. Thank you to our
guest speaker at the Sports Awards, David Neithe, a mental performance coach who has worked with
Lydia Ko, among others. His advice to students included having belief in yourself and high expectations.
The Year 11 Prizegiving is on Wednesday
at 11.30a.m. The Prizegiving for Year 12
students with more than one award and for
all Year 13 awards is on Wednesday at 7p.m.
In assemblies this week, I have been clear that fireworks are not be brought to school or let off at
school. We need to ensure the safety of students, staff and property.

Gateway Programme
Applications for 2016
Applications for next year are invited for our school Gateway Programme
if you are returning in 2016 as a Year 12 or 13 Student. If you are not
familiar with the Gateway Programme it is a Tertiary Education Commission
(TEC) funded programme designed to strengthen the pathways for senior
students (Y12/13) with the transition from school into the workplace.
The Programme Coordinator finds students work experience in a variety
of careers in the community, with particular focus on students who are
looking at transitioning into either a trade or directly into employment after
leaving school. The programme delivers Gateway students additional work
related courses and training with NCEA credits to help them toward their
chosen goals. In some situations work placements may lead on to either
employment or apprenticeship opportunities. Gateway has limited places
so if you would like to be considered, pick up an application from Mrs Dyer
in the Gateway Office at the back of the School Library or click this shortcut
to be taken to the form: Application Form.
If any parents or families of Rosehill College have a business that would
be a suitable workplace learning experience for a Rosehill Student please
contact the Gateway Coordinator, Mrs Dyer on 295 0661 ext 847 or email

Sports Awards
On Thursday night the Sports Department and Council held the annual
Sports Awards evening to celebrate the many achievements of our students
from 2015. It was a successful evening with a great turn out of students
and parents. A big thank you goes out to our major sponsor SAS Sport and
to all other contributing sponsors; we wouldn’t be able to host an evening
like this without their support. One of the main highlights of the evening
was an inspirational speech from David Niethe, sports psychologist, who
talked about being a successful athlete and the perfect equation on how
to get there. The night was finished off perfectly with the major award
winners being announced.
Congratulations to all of our students who received awards for 2015 and
special recognition goes to all of our nominees and major award winners.
