Newsletter Dec 2011 - Wellington High School

 Volume 24, No 6 – 8 December 2011 http://www.whs.school.nz [email protected] Kia ora tatou
The school year is over. NCEA is finished and we
await results.
It was pleasing to hear the
examination centre supervisor, Jose Fitzsimmons,
say that she thought the kids were great and easy
to manage. I hope it is reflected in great results.
We have all worked hard this year. Junior last
week activities have been hectic but rewarding.
The senior ball was a lovely event. Courses for
next year are sorted for most students. There are
some seniors whose combination of courses
cannot be met but we still hope to sort these so that
acceptable options can be agreed.
The annual prize givings, both senior and junior,
are a rewarding way to end the year. It is a real joy
to celebrate students’ success with family and
friends. We acknowledged academic excellence
across the school.
Our top scholar - Dux for 2011 and winner of the
Cousins Award is Felix Borthwick, runner up and
winner of the Hankins bequest is Sam Metcalfe. At
High we have a number of excellent academics
who come close to being Dux and we like to
recognize them with the Principal’s Prize for
academic excellence. This year winners are; Tony
Butler-Yoeman, Monique Hodgkinson, Imogen
Holmstead-Scott and Helen Ker.
The two other major prizes for school service and
contribution were awarded to Troy Ruhe - The
Wellington High School Peace Prize and Bryn
Hickson-Rowden- The Tusha Gupta Award for AllRound Achievement.
The Deans’ Awards for all round participation and
excellence awarded by each Dean to their year
level went to Y13 Caitlin Daugherty- Kelly, Y12
Oscar Battell-Wallace, Y11 – Merinda Jackson,
Yr 10 - Sasha Kapica
Yr 9 – Tess Breitenmoser
We also acknowledged enhancement of the
school’s mana by the group who were runners up
in the International Young Physicists Tournament;
Mitchell Reid-Tait, Conor Ivory, Lily Mason-
Mackay and Maia Holder-Monk, with the Parents’
Association Prize, a picture which remains in the
school.
Each of these ceremonies was well attended by
parents, caregivers, siblings and peers. The senior
prize giving was outstanding and a tribute to the
maturity of our students who are able to
respectfully appreciate the achievement of other
yet obviously enjoy the occasion.
Jane Smiler is retiring this year. She has been here
since 1987 when she won the position as assistant
Head of English. Over the years Jane has made a
huge contribution to High in the classroom as a
superb teacher and beyond by doing the school
magazine for years, the school timetable, Yr 12
Shakespeare day and more recently made a huge
contribution to Learning to Learn and Building
Learning Power resources. Jane, you are a highly
professional teacher and you and your institutional
knowledge will be missed.
I too am retiring and this is my 136th and final
newsletter. I have always tried to keep the school
focused on the kids and provide an education that
equips them for their future while at the same time
recognizing that each of them is a valuable
individual with skills and feelings that must be
nurtured. I hope you feel we have done that for
your child and that High is not just a factory - force
feeding for exams – important as they are. I go with
few regrets and a lot of fine memories of amazing
students and staff.
I have just received news that we have received a
$365,000 grant from the New Zealand Lotteries
Grants Board to upgrade the lights, sound,
projector, stage etc of the Hall. I’m a bit sad I
won’tto be here to do the work. We really need
donations to help with the chairs now! Please!
I hope you all have a peaceful festive season.
Have a corker holiday with your corker kids and I
hope the new boss is corker too. Ka kite ano

Board of Trustees
From the Board of Trustees
Huge congratulations to Prue, who last month received an award for Distinguished Contribution to
College Sport Wellington and the NZ Secondary Schools Sports Council, and then capped this off by
winning the award for Wellingtonian of the Year in the education category - thoroughly deserved; you
made us all very proud Prue. And further celebrations were held last week when Mayor Celia WadeBrown and Molly Tindill, daughter of the late Eric Tindill, officially opened the new Eric Tindill Sports
Centre.
With much sadness we also farewell Prue in this newsletter, after 17 years of incredible service and
visionary leadership here at High. Prue’s contribution and commitment to Wellington High School and its
community have been outstanding. We want to pay tribute to her incredible dedication and care of the
school and everything it stands for, her tireless hours of work and her ability to make things happen, and
her loyalty to staff and students. She has been a great Principal and a highly effective manager for
successive Boards to work with. We wish Prue a rich and enjoyable retirement. Arohanui Prue.
We hope that all families and whanau received an email about the new Principal. We are pleased to
announce the appointment of Nigel Hanton to the position and welcome him to Wellington High.
Nigel is currently the Principal at Wanganui High School. Nigel has been the Deputy Principal at Mana
College, then Principal at Flaxmere College in the Hawkes Bay, followed by his appointment to
Wanganui. Nigel holds a Bachelor of Teaching and Learning and a Post Graduate Diploma in
Educational Management. He will take up the position in early March 2012. Dominic Killalea will be
Acting Principal from the start of the year until Nigel begins.

Secondly th

Matiu/Somes Island Treasure Hunt
Matiu/Somes Island is the jewel in the crown of Te
Whanganui a Tara/Wellington Harbour. Last week
on a gloriosly fine Wednesday the peaceful charm
of our nearest offshore neigbour was interrupted by
WHS year 9 Enrichment Class. Nineteen hardy
students braved the giant jellyfish,the worrisome
wetas and the timid tuatara to hunt for treasure (the
knowledge kind) on the island. Leaving only their
footprints but taking a swag of photos (some you
see below) they raced all over the island competing
against each other and the tide and time to find
over 25 living treasures. They 'captured' their finds,
memories and views on digital cameras and
cellphones.
Year 9 Enrichment class on Matiu/Somes Island
Welliwood rises anew at WHS
Parents and caregivers of Year 9 students joined
us in an afternoon of viewing and experiencing their
children's work from the last term. Welliwood, the
miniature town created through the Mathematics
faculty from hundreds of detailed and scale model
buildings, was a highlight. Covering six tables with
panels on walls and doors it showcased the
detailed work of hundreds of students. Rileyville,
Kelly Town and the Royal Chambers featured in
the side rooms off the main Level three concourse.
Parents agreed that it was a great showcase of
student work from Term Four and all were intrigued
by the tiny models, proud students and digital
records.
At the end of the hunt it was down to two teams
who were locked on 24 points each. The girls were
represented by Maggie Blackburn, Bea Cook, Tess
Breitenmoser and Zoe Corrin in one team and the
boys were Christopher Veitch, Walter Ellis and
Josh Richards-Wylie. After digital evidence was
presented and time pieces consulted, we crowned
the girls team as worthy winners of the first annual
Somes Island Treasure Hunt. Thanks to Shelley
Monds, Julia Stephens and Tony Cairns for
accompanying the students and helping them to
discover an exciting way to find out more about our
nearest island neighbours.

Sharp, lead its development and delivery to all
secondary schools of the country over the next 5
years. Prue’s commitment to affect change not for
change’s sake but for the cause it represents, her
candidness and her leadership in both education
and in sport has been something this region has
been privileged to have experienced over the last
17 years.

On 10 November Wellington High School hosted
the 2011 Hawks Cup AFL tournament played
between 5 colleges. We had a group of 20 boys
practising regularly to prepare and then compete in

Staff vs Students Cricket Game
This was played on the WHS home ground at
Happy Valley Park on a very pleasant early
summer evening. There were some excellent
performances on the day with special note of the
batting performance from Sean O’Connor reaching
50 (even if he did turn his back on his colleagues
and play for the students), Laurie Steel hit the
cover off the ball and nailed the best six of the day
as well as delivering an outstanding bowling
display. Laurie was the only player to bowl a
maiden over. Dom Killalea showed his youthful
talent with the bat and as opener for the staff set
things off on a great track. He wasn’t half bad with
the ball as well but it would have to be said that the
ole bowling arm had a struggle after a good bicep
pull. Great batting was also seen from Little Steel,
Mike Nahu and Richie Brown and top bowling from
Mike Davis. The rest of us were also in fine form.
Did I say who won? Down to the last ball of the
game, students batting, 2 runs needed from 1 ball.
Look around, where are the cameras? Damn it,
they got them. A victory by one run to the students.
Wait for the return game in 2012!
2012 Sport and Cultural Opportunities Booklet
This booklet which is filled with information will be
included in the final mail out to all students at the
end of the school year. It is easy to notice with a
bright red cover. Thanks to Oscar Battell-Wallace
and Merinda Jackson for collating the cultural
opportunities part of the booklet.

‐
Students wanting to play summer sport must
register. Be aware that team entries will be
made based on registrations received. There
is very little time for mucking around.

Do not hestitate to seek more information.
Contact details are in the Sport Booklet.
Sport Shirt
The WHS sport shirt is available for purchase at
Student Services for $40.00.
This shirt is required for a number of sports (see
the Sport Booklet) and can be used for a variety of
sports and PE if you wish.
Return of WHS Sports Uniforms
Numerous student still have sports shirts from this
year or earlier years. These shirts belong to school
and it is critical that they are returned. Without
them we do not have enough for next year’s
students. Do the right thing.
Sports Captain Applications
Applications will be sought very early in 2012 for
Sports Captains. Look out for information and
application forms.
WHS student participation in sport
The annual NZSSSC census report has recently
been completed. Welly High has 48% of our
students participating in sport (53% male, 42%
female). While we held the participation level of
2010 in a year with only one gym, this is somewhat
lower than the Wellington average. Of concern is
the low percentage of girls participating in sport and
this issue will be addressed next year. Your
thoughts and interests will be sought. Start thinking
about what it is you would like to do next year.
THANK YOU
I would sincerely like to thank every individual who
has in any way contributed to the 2011 sports
programme at Wellington High. Your involvement
has most definitely had an impact and contributed
to our successes and the enjoyment of sport
experienced by our students.
DON’T FORGET: should you lose this newsletter, go to our website www.whs.school.nz
8 I look forward to a continued relationship with many
of you in 2012. To those moving on I wish you
well. To all I hope you have a fabulous summer.
See you next year.
