TAURANGA GIRLS’ COLLEGE April 2016 Tauranga Girls’ College Message from the Principal Dear Parents Term 1 is nearly over and what a very busy, very productive term it has been! And with Summer Tournament week under way in Week 10 and our Parent /Teacher evening coming up for parents of junior students in Week 11 there is still much to do, and to share, with our community. Congratulations to all students who have achieved personal goals in these first weeks of 2016 in whatever dimension of the college they have been involved in. For the Parent/Teacher Evening the on-line booking system for appointments is open and parents are encouraged to take the opportunity for a face to face discussion with teachers. Our learning environment is at its best when there is a three way partnership of support between parent, student and teacher all focussed on the best outcomes. Term 1: positive, successful, establishing a culture of involvement and healthy competition, has been ably led by our senior student office holders, prefects and house captains, giving everyone the opportunity to explore and participate. InterHouse competition has been fierce, via all of our whole school athletic events, lunchtime competitions and challenges and the leader board in the hall for the House Shield has changed positions on a regular basis all through the term. Term 1 also sees a significant change in our senior leadership and there is a very special acknowledgement to be made of a staff member who has been with us for nearly thirty years and whose leadership and contribution to our college has been exemplary. As Mrs Leonie Summerville finishes her role as Deputy Principal with us I thank her on behalf of staff, students and the wider community of Tauranga Girls’ College for everything she has done to ensure the success and wellbeing of everyone here. Leonie has involved herself tirelessly with every aspect of the college, in and out of the classroom and her wisdom, energy and dedication have been much appreciated and will be greatly missed. I wish everyone a restful, restorative and relaxing term break as we look forward to being back into the busyness of Term 2 on Monday 02 May, fit and ready to pick up all the opportunities here on the journey towards “empowering tomorrow’s women”.

Year 9 Diligence Camp Dates: June (to be advised) Venue: Finlay Park, Cambridge Year 9 & 10 Parent Teacher Evening Interim Reports for the whole school were issued on Thursday 24 March. A Year 9 and Year 10 ParentTeacher Evening will be held on Wednesday 13 April 4.30-7.00pm. Bookings will be available online This camp will be by invitation only. Students will be nominated by tutor teachers and classroom teachers. It is for students who display the school values of Respect, Participation and Pride. The girls that work hard in class, wear their uniform with pride and do not have any detentions. The girls have already been introduced to the idea at an assembly. This is an excellent incentive to the Year 9 students and a great reward for those girls who are “getting it right”. In the past we have taken about 90 students. The cost of this camp is around $100-120. To keep costs down we ask parents to assist with cooking and some supervision. Performing Arts: Drama On Friday 04 March, the Performing Arts and English Departments took 45 keen thespians to the POP UP GLOBE in Auckland. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity, for the girls to experience Shakespeare performed as it was intended, on a thrust stage in an outdoors theatre! The POP UP GLOBE is an exact replica on the Globe in London and we are very privileged to host the theatre here in NZ. The girls and teachers thoroughly enjoyed the performance of “Romeo and Juliet” and nearly three hours standing as groundings was rewarded with loads actor/audience interaction and an up-close and personal experience. TAURANGA GIRLS’ COLLEGE | April 2016 5 Student librarians for 2016 Youth Leadership Programme 2016 Leavers’ Jackets We are delighted to share this photo of the 2016 student librarian team. Eighteen Kickstart Toastmaster’s Club is offering a group of students from Tauranga Girls’ College the opportunity to participate in the Toastmasters International Youth Leadership programme. The 2016 Jacket Committee, Chantelle Bartlett, Paige McGarva and Selena Wright have been working tirelessly since the end of Term 4, 2015 to design and recreate the annual Tauranga Girls’ Year 13 leavers’ jackets. After a lengthy process from design to offshore production and finally delivery, they were pleased to announce the arrival of the first jacket order of 87 Jackets earlier this term. The school’s mascot- The TGC Tiger, has been incorporated into the theme of the jackets, and the wellthought-out design makes the girls who wear the jacket look very tidy and unified as the leader year group of the school. The second order of jackets is due before the end of Term 1. There has been a very positive reaction from students and staff alike and students can be seen daily proudly sporting their new and exclusive item of uniform. students have embarked on eight weeks of training to get them familiar with the many aspects of school librarianship. We hope they learn useful things, make new friends and above all, have some fun! We appreciate their enthusiastic input and enjoy collaborating with them in making the school library a place which is appealing and helpful. Ms Middleton and Mrs Ollerenshaw Adult Librarians Hinemoana Voyage Two students from Tauranga Girls’ College, Atareta Rauwhero- Stevens and Aaliyah Thocolich sailed on the Waka Hinemoana. Everyone had a great wet time, enjoying the experience on water and on land and were an awesome group!! They saw seals, dolphins - had lots of fresh kai and heaps of learning. Participants learn to: Overcome nervousness when speaking before an audience Organize and present ideas logically and convincingly Listen carefully to others’ ideas Offer advice to help others improve their speaking and leadership skills Participate in and even leadgroup discussion or meetings Participants increase their selfconfidence as they learn. They also make new friends and have fun. The course is open to all senior students and spans 8 sessions starting on Tuesday 03 May, 5.30-7pm in the library.

Her leaving will be felt across the whole school community - Leonie is a people person, a very skilled and experienced communicator and she will be missed by all. Her love of the arts, music and sport and her involvement in all of these at TGC have made her a very special person to all students, staff and whanau who share those passions. Leonie’s dedication to all aspects of the college has made her an extremely valuable and valued staff member, colleague and friend. Comments from staff include: Lovely Leonie always there, always smiling, always gracious, kind and caring. Long hours spent willingly in support of staff and students. It has been wonderful to share Leonie’s surname - many times parents tell me how she knows their whanau and how supportive and caring she has been to them and their children and at times their mokopuna----Aroha is a word that many use when talking about her. Thanks for all the support you gave to the library & librarians over your many years at TGC “A teacher and colleague who cares, supports and applauds the efforts of those around her.” We will miss her grace and kindness to all. A kind, positive role model who always looked for the good in the girls. We wish Leonie well on the next adventure in her life pathway and know that she will always be part of Tauranga Girls’ College.
