REPORTS PRINCIPAL S MESSAGE I write this last principal s message with mixed emotions I am excited and looking forward to the next stage of my career in education but this is tinged with sadness as I will greatly miss the Howick College community and the people who made this journey of mine so satisfying selfless and committed which has made the work so much easier Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners I joined the college in 2010 and recall vividly the Board s expectations of me when accepting the role They stated unequivocally that I should lift standards improve the school s financial position and most importantly raise student achievement Perhaps what they may have missed in their summary of expectations was that I would also need to build relationships trust and confidence in our people In my view change is painfully slow unless people feel valued and believe in their potential to make a difference With this in mind we began to build a powerfully effective team and that has made the biggest difference Twelve years later I am incredibly proud of our collective efforts to deliver on all three of the Board s original expectations and to have positioned the school as a high performing institution It is gratifying to see that Howick College is now the school of choice in our community and we hold our own as a school that has a culture of continuous improvement and student excellence I have been blessed to work alongside staff who have committed themselves to the vision and values of the school I have never subscribed to any hierarchical model of leadership but have instead encouraged all to share ownership and responsibility for improving student outcomes The staff throughout my tenure have been 2 BACK CONTENTS NEXT My story would not be complete without mentioning those incredibly talented young people who have both inspired and entertained me I am constantly reminded of the privilege I share with the staff of working with young minds that are incredibly agile and creative I doubt whether there are many other jobs that come close to our work with youth where special learning relationships develop and are nurtured over the years Young people can often fill your day with the most hilarious and unpredictable behaviour They make you smile even when you don t feel like it and you know you probably shouldn t They have a knack of grounding you and brightening up your day The copper sculpture in our school reception entitled I touch the future I teach sums up this special transformative relationship we enjoy with our young people To all the people who have been part of my journey I extend my personal thanks and gratitude I pay tribute to every member of the Senior Leadership Team past and present for their friendship and their professional expertise that has helped to shape our school s future I also acknowledge the many board members and wider community for their relentless support of our staff and students I have learnt much and enjoyed your company and I leave you all the richer for the experience I am extremely grateful to have paddled alongside you all in the Howick College waka the memories will be cherished May each and every one of you enjoy a full and happy life and continue to live and exemplify the school values of courtesy commitment curiosity and courage I wish you and the college well Ia manuia lava fa afetai Tofa soifua farewell Mr I L Ropati Principal 3 YEARBOOK 2022

REPORTS STUDENT TRUSTEE S REPORT Kia ora t tou behind the scenes and I now have a better understanding and appreciation of what is required to make these exciting events work successfully I was extremely fortunate to be elected as the student representative at the start of 2022 Competition was fierce and after a hotly contested election I was lucky to just come out on top Due to the disruptions of Covid 19 the elections took place later than usual which meant my time as student representative was regretfully shortened However I quickly learnt what it took to be on the board and had a positive board to work with to make changes throughout the school I m very grateful for the wisdom of the other board members and I know that I m leaving Howick College in good hands Board Members Top from right Mr M Stratford Presiding Member Ms M Heywood Deputy Presiding Member Mr I Ropati Principal Terms 1 3 Mr B Barrett Dr J Donaldson Ms C Newbould Bottom from right Ms R Rose Mr R Tosh Ms S King Staff Representative Zac Wight Student Representative Mrs L MacKereth Board Secretary As a member of the Finance and Property subcommittees I learned firsthand how everything works in the background and how much time and effort is involved This was a great learning experience that made me realise how important board support for our school is and all the great things that the money is being used for As part of the student leadership team I m very grateful for the fantastic group of people I got to work with helping to run events such as our mid winter Christmas Festival and the Spring Carnival Again I learned how much effort goes on FROM THE BOARD 2 022 has proven to be another memorable year and one we have much to be thankful for Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners Once again there was significant disruption due to Covid 19 this time because The Bug finally entered our community For those who did contract the virus we trust you are now fully recovered Despite this disruption our students benefited from a committed and highly adaptable team of leaders and teachers who did everything in their power to create the richest learning experience possible Our thanks go to this team for their dedication Mr Ropati will be remembered with great fondness As a leader of people he set a fine example building belief in both students and staff With students firmly at the heart of all decision making we are grateful for the changes he has helped to bring about We also acknowledge the board members who supported his vision for the college and the staff members who gave it life Part of Mr Ropati s legacy was to establish a team of highly capable people who are committed to ensuring the year finishes strongly and positively We thank them also for their efforts on behalf of our young people The presence of Covid in our community did not stop planned events going ahead albeit adjusted to allow for the needs of social distancing or the return of events that had been missing from the school calendar for a year or more House competitions drama productions studentled festivals the Senior Ball Po Fiafia sports fixtures and many more all took place this year They happened because committed people made personal sacrifices whether they were teachers parents or members of our wider community We are grateful for the efforts made on behalf of our rangitahi We also say farewell to previous board members Ray Burge Richie Gray and Roger Gribble and welcome our new members Bruce Barrett Dr John Donaldson and Rebecca Rose The commitment these members of our community have made and will make has a profoundly positive impact on the work we do After twelve years at the helm of the Howick College waka Mr Ropati handed over the paddle at the end of term 3 to take up his new role as principal of Papamoa College Mr Ropati s legacy is one he can rightly be proud of and he leaves the college in better shape than he found it Student achievement levels are much higher and in line with those expected from a college such as ours New programmes introduced under his leadership are recognised as being at the forefront of a positive shift in educational achievement The college itself is in better physical and financial shape The positive impact he has had on our M ori and Pasifika community is profound For those who are moving on we wish you well Please stay connected through our Alumni Association and bring your real world knowledge back to the college so future cohorts of students may benefit from your experience For those who are returning next year promises to be a cracker 4 Zac Wight Yr 13 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT D uring the first two terms of this year Howick College s former principal Mr Bill Dimery stepped into the role of Acting Director for the Community Development Office and International Student Department A significant amount of time and effort has been put into the College s inaugural Distinguished Alumni Awards evening where the Howick College community came together to formally celebrate the achievements of our past students more details in the Events section Finally we look forward to welcoming our new principal Mr Dale Burden at the start of term 1 2023 We know his guidance and wisdom will ensure even more people make Howick College their secondary school of choice With the re opening of the New Zealand border there has also been a great deal of hard work behind the scenes as we prepared for the arrival of our new international students in July We have certainly missed the cultural diversity amongst our student body and are excited about the future as we rebuild our international programme We thank Mr Dimery for his efforts and contribution this year Building on the progress made last year and with the support of Howick College School Board the Howick College Foundation is now registered with the Charities Commission and on September 21 the inaugural Howick College Foundation Board of Trustees meeting was held The first order of business was to elect the Foundation Chair and Best wishes Nga mihi pai Miles Stratford Presiding Member BACK Sadly during my time on the board Mr Ropati informed us that he would be leaving giving the board the daunting task of finding his replacement After much effort and a long deliberation I am pleased to say that a strong replacement was found and I wish Mr Burden all the best for the future I d like to thank Mr Ropati for his time as principal He contributed much to our school and he will be missed I d also like to thank Mr Miles Stratford for leading the board so well and teaching me a lot of important lessons Being student representative was one of the highlights of my year along with being the captain of the squash team To my successor Sophie White I hope you make the most of this great opportunity and enjoy your time as student representative as much as I have done CONTENTS NEXT 5 we would like to congratulate and thank Mrs Maree Pauling for accepting the position Mrs Pauling a managing partner at Waters Pauling Chartered Accountants is also a current parent and an alumna of the college She is well connected within our community and has a vested interest in the future of the school On the trust funding front we have put through 21 trust applications this year the most we have ever submitted in one year The funding received through trust applications played a significant part in providing financial support for our sports teams as they headed out to various tournaments as well as contributing to school cultural initiatives As the Community Development Office continues its work in fostering relationships with the wider community we would like to express our sincere thanks to all our parents alumni community leaders trusts businesses and all those individuals and organisations who have supported us over the years We have come a long way and we couldn t have done it without

contribution to our school include Daring leaders work to make sure people can be themselves and feel a sense of belonging Establishing the Community Development Office reaching out to past students to build a strong Howick College alumni network Marketing trips to Europe to grow our share of the international student market Development of our Innovation Stream and SiE programmes which are unique to Howick College and have made a profound impact on the education of students who learn in different ways A passion for improving the education of young boys and investigating how teachers and schools can better engage with them Developing an outstanding student leadership programme that provides young leaders of the future with an outlet to make change and contribute to the school community Daring leadership is ultimately about serving other people not ourselves M r Ropati embodies both the qualities described in these quotes from Brene Brown s book Dare to Lead a book that he has often extolled He is the perfect example of a daring leader he was such a leader during his time at his previous schools and he has been such a leader throughout his 12 years at Howick College 4th

Community of Passionate Learners STAFF NOTES Throughout our time at Howick College Mr Ropati has been a positive kind and caring role model He has encouraged and embraced the diversity creativity and talent within our school celebrating our achievements and providing opportunities for us to realise our full potential Most importantly he has put us the students at the heart of all decision making Many people know Mr Ropati as a principal colleague or mentor within our school However some might not know that his career began as a professional rugby league player during the 80s and 90s In a sporting career that spanned eight years he played for six different teams and represented both New Zealand and England In 1993 he was selected for the National NZ Rugby League team and proudly wore the New Zealand jersey in four test matches Mr Ropati you have made a lasting difference to each and every one of us who has stepped into and out of the Howick College waka over the past twelve years We are incredibly grateful for everything you have done and for your steadfast dedication to our kura Thank you for being a part of our journey we wish you the very best and hope that our paths will cross again one day After his rugby league career he followed a very a different path and in 2003 he was appointed as principal at Penrose High School becoming only the second Pasifika male secondary school principal in New Zealand During his time there he pushed himself and the school through a successful restoration re establishing a sense of pride and identity within the school community and rebranding the school to what is known as today One Tree Hill College In recognition of his inspirational transformation of the school and his unwavering commitment to the learning of students he was awarded the Sir Peter Blake Emerging Leadership Award in 2009 Leila Alsabak and Thomas Donnell Head Students 2022 I have known Mr Ropati for many years now as a principal a mentor and since leaving school as a friend I have known him to be someone who displays many admirable qualities He is a man of modesty but with a mischievous sense of humour He is a man of integrity and of purpose who exemplifies the four core values of Howick College commitment courtesy curiosity and courage but if I were to describe him with just one word it would be mana It is this mana that has flowed through him into every aspect of our school Howick College is a place At the end of 2009 he moved away from One Tree Hill to take on a new challenge at Howick College It was to be yet another example of the Ropati Effect with the school showing a positive shift in culture and significant Continued on next page 8 BACK CONTENTS NEXT 9 YEARBOOK 2022

REPORTS Head Students Farewell Mr Ropati cont Andrew Harman of culture and pride and that has stemmed from Mr Ropati s leadership for more than a decade I have always been impressed by his determination to connect with every student A difficult task in a school of more than 2000 but he could frequently be found joining in with a class for a period or walking the corridors shaking hands with students like a local celebrity For that reason students afforded him their instant and genuine respect His example has taught us all how to be leaders and he has nurtured many changemakers ensuring a continued pattern of succession He leaves Howick College stronger than ndrew joined Howick College in 1990 as TiC Art History and Photography Under his stewardship NCEA scholarships in Photography and Art History became a regular occurrence and since 2009 scholarships were gained every year in the various arts subjects Andrew became HoD Art in 2015 and since then along with colleagues Jess Sarah and Rhiannon Jones the top awards keep coming 2017 Top Student Jessica Budd in New Zealand in NCEA Level 3 Painting 2021 1st in Photography and 3rd in Painting and Top School in Highly Commended awards Although we say farewell we know that Mr Ropati will always remain part of Howick College He leaves as his legacy the thousands of young people who have been inspired and will continue to be inspired by his leadership So thank you Mr Ropati we wish you the best of luck as you move into your new role Ethan McCormick Head Boy 2020 Mrs Sonja Petkovic In addition to their exam successes Andrew s students garnered many photography competition awards including 1st and 2nd places in the former Mighty River Power Company National Photography Competition from 2003 2006 and 1st place in the Howick Lions Club school photography competition in 2021 and 2022 Esther Ong M E rs Petkovic Dean of MacDonald House and former HoD of Language Support ESOL resigned at the end of last year to take up a position as Senior Education Advisor with the Ministry of Education After 19 years at Howick College we were greatly saddened by her leaving She was known for her high academic standards and keen sense of fairness Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners A he found it with a thriving culture and a sense of pride that extends beyond the school gates This pride can be seen in the alumni network that has gone from strength to strength in recent years sther Ong a native of Singapore retired at the end of term one this year after 19 years in the ESOL department Her style of teaching was friendly and informal but she was scrupulous in maintaining high academic standards and good behaviour Creative learning activities were a common aspect of her lessons as was laughter her students loved her After some years as a language teacher and a year as an interpreter with Medicins Sans Frontiers Doctors Without Borders she and her husband came to this country and to Howick where she took a job at our school having completed a degree in English Language and Literature in her own country As a second language learner herself and with her infinite patience and digital skills she was soon a very successful teacher and she was often to be seen giving students one to one assistance well after the bell had gone Her keen interest in the environment before that became widespread was reflected in the topics she taught her seniors In Fond Memory of Albert Arts Groundsman 1985 2020 I n term 2 we received the sad news that our much loved former grounds man and Howick College legend Albert Arts passed away peacefully on Friday 22 July surrounded by his loving family As a colleague she was always helpful and often funny If one word were to sum her up it would be enthusiasm enthusiasm for teaching for her colleagues for her church for her family for justice for music for life itself We were fortunate indeed to have worked alongside her As a colleague in the department she was always warm friendly and supportive She had interesting ideas and conversation She was a paragon of conscientiousness and she had a keen interest in grammar and comparative linguistics Her departure is a huge loss to the department and the deanery and we wish her well in her new role He has had a very long busman s holiday being the school photographer for decades and a vast number of his photographs have appeared in this and other Howick College publications In this role he has given up countless evening and weekend hours recording the action at sporting cultural and social events as well assisting Photo Life studios with the annual class and co curricular group photo shoots Many of us have fond memories of Albert and to honour his unique connection with Howick College a special tribute led by Dr Paul Bennet was made at the front of the school on Saturday 30 July for members of our community to pay their respects The tribute was followed by a heartfelt Haka performed by our 1st XV Albert will be greatly missed STAFF ARRIVALS Mrs Susan Banham Social Studies Mr Dony Chennoth Science Mr Brian Chiu Maths Mr Bill Dimery Community Development

teachers now left or retired in the past 12 months the others being Mrs Petkovic and Mr Porteous It will be a long time before the department again has such a combination of skills and strengths in one person As dean Mrs Petkovic s sense of justice well served those students who were called before the board for disciplinary reasons where she was a valiant and scrupulously fair advocate She also introduced the hugely successful MacMarket fundraising event which brought students and teachers together around jointly organised stalls activities and events Always willing to help when help was needed Andrew assisted with countless lunchtime and weekend fundraising sausage sizzles and this year stepped in to take the rowers to Karapiro when other staff were sick with Covid 19 With his pleasant unflappable manner which engendered positive relationships with students and staff and his willingness to do so much beyond the classroom Andrew was a valued colleague who will be sorely missed We wish him the very best for his future endeavours Outside of his curriculum areas Andrew made huge contributions to a variety of co curricular activities For Esther is a keen musician and for

LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE LEADERSHIP SERVICE HEAD STUDENTS S tudent Leaders team of 2022 we have made it Of our five years at Howick College this year has been the best by far and we are so incredibly proud to look back at all we have achieved together LEADERSHIP CAMP Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners Term one began with our Student Leaders camp in early February The two day camp gave us a unique opportunity to build our leadership skills reflect on school culture draft the strategic aims for each house and council and most importantly to bond as a team After returning to school we initiated our team by making the first ever Introducing the Student Leaders video In the true leadership fashion of being courageous when facing obstacles we created new initiatives to adapt to any Covid 19 restrictions For example the 4C a Week social media project promoted school values to students in place of our Tuesday values assemblies The highlight of this project was our Teacher Thank You which collected hundreds of positive messages from students to teachers and staff thanking them for their hard work throughout the term and within uncertain times Despite the challenges we were able to push through the term making a solid first impression with our school community and creating a sense of normalcy for students and staff alike T erm one began with our 27 newly appointed student leadership team heading off to camp in early February The twoday camp held at Willow Park Eastern Beach represents the culmination of an intensive selection process Spending this time together provided the group with a unique opportunity to build their leadership skills reflect on school culture draft their strategic aims for each house and council but most importantly to bond as an effective team high schools across the region generating 5 700 of donations for UNICEF NZ Term three saw the revival of the Battle of the Bands a covid cancelled interhouse event from 2021 Our 6 house bands battled it out on the night for house points and the title of Inaugural Winner of the Battle of the Bands This was our favourite event and saw the theatre filled to the brim with a lively audience all clapping and singing along Our last major event of the term was the Spring Festival held to mark the turn of the season and raise money for the house charities This lunchtime event brought students out on a beautiful spring day to enjoy a wide range of sweet treats crafts live entertainment and even an inflatable obstacle course Thanks to Bell Ingham and MacDonald Houses and the Community Cultural and Pastoral Councils for making it happen Term two rolled around bringing an abundance of exciting opportunities While our councils continued to run their own successful initiatives we ran our big collective projects In week five we organised a multischool Ukraine Mufti Day in support of the UNICEF Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Organised alongside ten other East Auckland schools this initiative raised a combined total of 8 300 Students and staff came to school dressed in blue and yellow and discovered chalk sunflowers hearts and messages drawn across the school to promote a positive school environment Our biggest event of the term was undeniably our Midwinter Christmas a school wide festival which involved collaboration between Bacot Irvine Minerva Sports Arts and Academic councils This event boasted a huge range of Christmas themed foods activities arts and crafts that really saw the Christmas spirit come to life in June Finally on the last day of term we ran the East Auckland UNICEF Charity Concert together with other members of East Auckland Schools an organisation of head students from each of the nine East Auckland colleges This event was held in the auditorium at Macleans College and showcased talented performing artists from six STUDENT WRITING NEVER LET ME GO NOT LETTING GO I vividly remember that day you took me to the top of a Skyscraper and confessed your love to me as we gazed upon the evening city scenery the sun casting a great shadow against each building It was frightful at first not knowing whether you spoke the truth or not till you said to me When I look at her it s a phenomenon of despair Her face shows you the hurt as if you are living through it Her tears are like rain itself I hate when she gets like this Nothing I do cheers her up Except she still squeezes me We ve gotten through so many rock bottoms together that I could never let her go Years of heartbreak hurt and hopeful happiness has led me to know I will always be here for Allie Unfortunately today is her worst storm yet Frozen in time I see the pain dragging her down Pulling her frown to the ground I will never let you go Our leadership team was recently discussing how proud we feel when we consider everything that has been accomplished this year and it is a credit to you all the students staff and families that make up our Howick College community Your engagement support and enthusiasm are what turned our ideas into initiatives that made a difference We would particularly like to thank Mr Ropati and Mr Bannister for their continuous support for these initiatives and throughout our leadership journey Just the two of us standing in the middle of the street listening to the soothing sombre sonance of rain drenching us though it did not matter while I was with you for I ll never forget what you had said When we flew to Paris and held each other close beneath the Eiffel Tower you and I were all that I could see our surroundings as quiet as a still starry night sky the world around us seemed as if it was in oblivion and you would say to me Allie we are going out Look after your sister for us until we get back okay Yes Mum A ton of rocks pulls her as she slips away I will never let you go I wish I could take it all away for her But what am I to do I m only her stuffed animal sitting on her bed But on that dreadful winter night when an inevitable phenomenon isolated you from my warm embrace I was frozen It seemed everything was lost like time itself had stopped however I was okay for I knew Alexis

Students BACK I want to reply I really do but what do you say to cheer someone up at their lowest Suddenly a knock on the door makes her jump frightfully Rushing to wipe away the rivers on her face the door creaks open I will never let you go Thank you all for the laughter the lifelong friendships that were made and for providing us with excellent role models Thank you for the advice given in times of confusion the pick me ups given when we were feeling low and the mentoring that has developed us into capable young adults We will be forever grateful for all you have given over the past five years and we hope that this year we have been able to give back just a sliver of that aroha to this kura 12 Why is no one there for me She whimpers in my ear CONTENTS NEXT 13 YEARBOOK 2022

LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE BELL HOUSE BACOT HOUSE Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners acot House has once again had a great year One of the many highlights of our year was the Mid Winter Xmas Festival Alongside the other houses and councils Bacot was able to transform C block into a vibrant place full of Christmas music food stalls and other fun activities Bacot s donut stall was a huge success and we were able to sell all 250 donuts in under 15 minutes With the help of the Bacot Council student leaders and many talented musicians Bacot ran the Secret Santa where a song card or candy cane could be delivered to someone in class We sold over 60 orders 2 022 looked bright as we began the year We were looking forward to an exciting time with many opportunities for us as leaders to show our skills Throughout the year we helped organise many school and house events and were able to run many of our own tutor competitions Bear has served us well the house decided it was time for a change Based on your comments and concerns we sent out surveys and collected data and opinions from within our house to come to a decision on our new mascot Whilst we were unable to bring it to life this year we are in the process of finalising logistics and hopefully a new mascot will be ready for next year that will lead the house with a newfound pride B able to get to know the many tutor classes in Bell House throughout the year The inter tutor competitions in which our 12 Bell House tutors competed for the Bell House tutor cup were an exciting way to get to know the many students in our house We started off with a musical chairs competition during an assembly which saw our tutor teachers getting involved in the fun We also ran many minute to win it games and kahoots in our assemblies We organised an Amazing Race for our tutors that put them into groups of 4 running around the school answering clues and completing tasks These competitions meant that we were As House Leaders we can reflect on this year proudly for all the achievements we as a house have accomplished However none of these ambitions could have come to fruition without the help of our Bacot Council We are so proud to call this team of brilliant young individuals and future leaders our family as we tackled this year facing each problem together We would like to thank our Deans Miss Kingston and Mr Elling for their guidance and support We have learned so much from them and none of our ideas would have been possible without them Bacot has had a truly exceptional year we are so proud of everything that has been accomplished and the hard work everyone has put into this amazing house A night to remember and an all round phenomenal experience was the Battle of the Bands Each house put together a band and performed live music to our school audience We were incredibly proud of our team who performed their rendition of Billy Joel s Piano Man and absolutely killed it bringing home second place This year we were involved with organising several interhouse competitions With Athletics Day being cancelled we had to find other ways to promote friendly competition between the houses One way was to hold a Battle of the Bands competition We were very lucky to find an incredible band that performed Isn t she Lovely by Stevie Wonder in front of a roaring crowd A huge thank you to our Bell band performers and to everyone who helped organise this event Multisport was another fun event that took place throughout the year and we loved seeing our house get involved with the sports and making Bell House proud The annual International Food Festival saw us run our traditional and popular Taco Bell House stall Our council and deans worked extremely hard to bring in all the ingredients and get everything prepared for the day Also during term 3 we got involved in the Spring Festival organised by 3 houses and 3 councils This was an exciting afternoon in which student leaders were able to create a school gala day type occasion where students had lots of fun during lunchtime The event was a huge success and we are very grateful to our council members who helped organise everything We would like to thank our Deans Mr Dryden and Ms Beresford for their continued support and hard work behind the scenes We would also like to thank our council as we would not have been able to get all these events off the ground without their help It has been a pleasure working alongside such a cohesive team whose efforts have contributed to making this year so successful Amelia Carr and Jaden Naidoo Bell House Leaders Eshaan Ghoshal and Laura Wesseling Bacot House Leaders Last year we had the major achievement of coming first in Senior Multi Sports and this year we have done it again

LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE IRVINE HOUSE T his year has definitely been a rollercoaster with running inter tutor competitions every Monday and Friday having inter house competitions and also supporting and encouraging our students to push themselves no matter the circumstances We are very proud to be Irvinites and are grateful for the experience we have had as House leaders INGHAM HOUSE When I say Ingham you say Winners three stalls a candy apple stall an ice cream stall and a bean bag toss The carnival was a great success and we couldn t have done it without the effort and commitment of the Ingham Council who took over the decoration of the stalls the posters and the painting of our board for the bean bag throw which definitely stole the show Ingham Winners Ingham Winners When I say Aroha you say Spirit One of the final inter house competitions that we were a part of this year has been the junior and senior multisports This was a great opportunity for Ingham students to get involved and work with the Ingham community whilst also scoring us some valuable house points We can confidently say that Ingham had the best house spirit with our dominating chant and endless support for each other It was a tough competition and everyone gave 100 effort leaving Ingham House with another high ranking of second place for both the senior and junior multi sport competitions Aroha Spirit Aroha Spirit Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners The three overarching goals we focused on this year were to increase pride in Irvine to increase student participation and to praise students and teachers We were glad to be able to achieve these goals with the help of our deans tutor teachers and the council members Irvine pride and student participation were seen through the attendance and enthusiasm in inter tutor competitions A memorable moment for us was when we played Poi Rakau during one of our assemblies The cheering was insanely loud to the point we felt the vibrations on the floor Some games such as Tug o war and You laugh and you are out were challenging however we had good participation from both our students and some tutor teachers We also observed that when the inter tutor placings were announced during the assemblies our students and teachers showed sportsmanship by doing a drumroll and round of applause for all placings no matter where their tutor was sitting on the scoreboard For praising students and teachers we handed out personal signed cards to tutor teachers and reached out to our exceptional students to acknowledge their achievements T his has been a thrilling year for Ingham House From inter tutor to inter house competitions we have had the opportunity to get to know the students of Ingham and learn more about what it means to be leaders within the school One of the most exhilarating inter house competitions we have helped run this year was the Battle of the Bands The Ingham House band consisted of Althea Pedro on vocals AJ McConnell on drums Ben Cunningham on the bass guitar Erika Sawyers on lead guitar Cooper Gillett on acoustic guitar and Carys Limm on the piano Watching a group of individuals that had never worked together develop a bond and become a band was so fulfilling There were lots of early mornings and late afternoons at school but it all was worth it to see them perform their hearts out on the night with their rendition of Smooth by Santana The night was made even better when it was announced that Ingham placed third The quality of all the other Houses performances was truly remarkable so making it into the top 3 really reflected the hard work and dedication that our band put into its performance Seeing the Ingham students display such passion and pride for our House and the school really made us proud of the community we have developed within the House this year We couldn t have done it without the endless encouragement of our house deans Mrs Sundrum and Mrs Thomas These two have provided us with the support and inspiration to make our mark within the school community and leave us with a memorable experience of being house leaders Some of our memorable events from this year were the Yr 9 Top Town Mid Winter Festival International Food Festival and Battle of the Bands At the Yr 9 Top Town our new Yr 9s took on a variety of activities and games supported by house and peer support leaders The Mid Winter Festival was run by the student leadership team and offered a Mid Winter Christmas experience to our students Our Irvine stalls at this event were selling McDonalds Burgers Guess How Many Candy Canes Are in The Jar and a photoshoot with Santa We sold 200 burgers got over 100 submissions for candy cane guesses and captured over 50 pictures with Santa It was very rewarding to see all our profits go to our House Charity the Westpac Helicopter Foundation For the food festival our theme was Mexican Our stall was the most eye catching one and we sold out all of our Mexican quesadillas and drinks In the Battle of the Bands our Irvine crew sang Classic by MKTO It was a beautiful performance At Multisport our students got involved and displayed determination persistence commitment and teamwork Irvine had the first placing in the Junior Multisport We would like to thank our deans Miss Hargreaves and Mrs Prakash for their support and encouragement through the year It has been an honour to work with you and we have both learnt so much from you not only as House Leaders but also as human beings We would also like to thank our tutor teachers and the council members for your involvement and enthusiasm Thank you Irvine for such an amazing year It has been an absolute pleasure to work and grow alongside the fun and spirited Irvinites We are excited

LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners MACDONALD HOUSE W hat a year 2022 has been As our battle with Covid 19 continued we kept striving to make it through together and are as close to winning the house shield as we ve been in 12 long years We came out on top of both the Inter House Arts Competitions and the inaugural Battle of the Bands with our performance of Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars Throughout the year we have enhanced both our school and house spirit with increased participation around the board and plenty of fun times furnished in red accessories from head to toe senior multisport competition exemplified our spirit and pride with the highest participation numbers in the school and red colours consuming the pitch We hope our use of the weekly notice slideshows and more engaging house assemblies have aided many in their journey through Howick College We ve maintained an average of 80 participation with our inter tutor competitions including 20 weekly quizzes to challenge our minds The continuation of the MacDonald House Shout Outs has yet again allowed students to recognise and celebrate their peers and teachers who have accomplished and exhibited our school values One of the biggest projects for 2022 was the creation of our communal art project whereby every member of our house contributed to an artwork of our mascot Mario To see hours of work and hundreds of creative ideas all come together in a representation of the beauty talent and innovation of the MacDonald House is an extraordinary reward The Food Festival and Spring Festival were two very successful events that will be remembered for years to come Both the junior and We have been so privileged to witness our house and council blossom into a group of enthusiastic inspired and devoted people forever doing their part in making Howick College an even better place We couldn t be more confident in the group of young leaders and change makers that will succeed us for years to come and we wish them every success in their endeavours to continue the legacy that we have each taken on for nearly 50 years Our deans council and tutor teachers have been our rock this year and the pillars on which we stand We owe a great deal of gratitude to them and cannot wait to see where the coming years take us Whilst we started the year after saying goodbye to our beloved Mrs Petkovic we were blessed with the three most fabulous deans one could ask for Miss Baker Mr Dymond and Mrs Sarah Saying goodbye to our marvellous dean Miss Baker the ever joyous and kind Mrs Shapley and the fun loving Mrs Roussow were among the hard parts of 2022 and we wish them every happiness But we couldn t be luckier to have been gifted Ms Banham Ms Marnoch and our brilliant new dean Mrs Sarah to support and guide us alongside the incredible Mr Dymond MINERVA HOUSE T his year has been filled with spontaneous house fundraisers and inter house and tutor events that have allowed us to grow together as a house Our own goals that we set out to achieve this year were increasing participation within the house and willingness to get involved having a collective and transparent goal which our Minerva council members can continue to build on once we leave and increasing the connection between students and the different year levels Manveer Singh Saini and Sophie Zaadstra MacDonald House Leaders A new project that we are very proud of is Mixing Monday which aims to help improve the interactions between students from different year levels The initiative was led by our council members who helped to plan and run new student activities each session On top of providing students with a fun opportunity to create stronger relationships with each other the project also aimed to increase the enthusiasm and therefore participation levels within the house We believe that it was very successful particularly with our juniors and we are very hopeful it will carry on in the coming years BACK CONTENTS NEXT The main Minerva House Charity has been the Child Cancer Foundation and we have fundraised for them through many Howick College events this year One of the main fundraisers was our Midwinter Christmas Festival where we cooked a delicious glazed champagne ham to go in fresh rolls had hot chocolates to warm students bellies and cooked hot chips on site which were a fav for all Minerva also took part in the International Food Festival Battle of the Bands multisports and the Great House Bake Off In previous years Minerva house has not often been at the top of the leaderboard but we aimed to change that through our goal of increasing house spirit This aspect of our house culture would allow our house to come together support each other and most importantly increase the pride within Minerva House As we move on from being Minerva house leaders we leave our legacy behind not only through the change in culture but also physically with our change in house banner Every person who has offered their time and service to the house has demonstrated the Minerva values and we are very appreciative and proud of their achievements Best of luck to our future leaders and remember to always Rep the Pink panthers with pride Achieving our goals would not have been possible without our house council With students from all year levels our council is the driving force behind all our assemblies tutor activities fundraising and house events 18 Since the beginning of the year we have shared with them our aims for 2022 and with their help we were able to make them happen It has been rewarding to see them grow as council members and as leaders and we encourage Minerva students to apply next year Sheemal Kumar and Hazel Stratford Minerva House Leaders 19

leadership skills A special thanks to Mrs Nairn for arranging teachers for students and managing the Coaching Centre To all our beloved council members thank you so much for supporting us Without you we wouldn t have been able to accomplish as much as we did We took a new approach toward what was formerly known as the Homework Centre which is now the Coaching Centre It is a quiet place where students can book a tutor for extra help or catch up on work We also extended coaching T his year saw the amalgamation of the LEO and Z ZONTA Clubs and Envirogroup within the Community Council The overarching aim was to expand leadership and participation within the school community and beyond While the start of the year was interrupted by Covid 19 restrictions it did not deter us from

some smaller jobs for the Arts department which included organising the props and costumes for Dance and Drama Alongside 5 other student councils we helped to put on our Midwinter Christmas a Christmas themed festival where the arts council provided cookie decorating and arts and crafts which was a holly jolly success We were able to raise a lot of money for the various House charities and contribute to the festive atmosphere with our stalls and the wonderful musicians we organised We have also had the privilege to run events such as the FOCUS art show hosted by Davis Funeral Homes showing off the talented visual art and photography students from East Auckland schools One of our biggest events of the year was the dance showcase where we saw many talented dance 20 students take the stage and showcase their work over three nights The dance showcase is one of the favourite arts events for the school and the performance that the dancers put on was unparalleled The Arts Council also assisted at many music performance nights and helped run the Yr 12 production Wozceck and the Yr 13 production Teechers showing off the skills within the Drama Department Our final event for the

school Our hope is that these initiatives will greatly enhance the level of acceptance our peers feel towards diverse cultures and ethnicities One of our goals this year was to collaborate with other councils to run events demonstrating the teamwork spirit and inclusivity that underpins the school We successfully hosted two events with the help of the Sports Council and our main event the Food

stand against bullying was the first event we took on this year Our council went out and spread kindness around the school by giving students sweet treats and kind letters The day was a great success with one of the highest student involvement rates we have seen with many students enthusiastically supporting the anti bullying cause and wearing as much pink as they possibly could In term 2 our council helped organise Wellness Week which focuses on the mental wellness of students During the week we provided free hot chocolate to all students and staff and painted an uplifting mural to hang

our school spirit Whilst using our instagram as a platform we were also able to create an inter house competition to help engage students who were learning from home due to Covid 19 disruptions From this we were able to showcase a range of talented students throughout the school and gave students something fun to look forward to whilst learning from home 22 products and dispensers in all the

the council grew as leaders and were able to independently run these events to a consistent high standard while keeping it fun and energetic Another highlight of the year was running a highly competitive Junior and Senior Multisport This helped us spread school spirit and provide students with an enjoyable way to finish the school year We would like to say a huge thank you to our council sports coordinators and everybody who has helped the Sports Council run this year Without your support sport at Howick College would not be the same Georgia Barnett and Henry Lee Sports Council

ACADEMIC ACADEMIC BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT W hat a busy year 2022 has been for the Business Department the first almost normal year since Covid 19 Our Yr 11 and 12 business students once again enjoyed taking part in their market days running their businesses and selling their products Market Days are always a highlight for the students and provide an opportunity for them to showcase their hard work while earning some money A big thank you to everyone who supported them Our Yr 9s learned about what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur and all the hard work behind the scenes Students were given the opportunity to create their own products using recycled materials Then using these products as their inspiration they had to come up with a business name and create a mini business plan There was also time for some fun in the form of a fashion show with students modelling garments made from newspapers This year our Yr 13 students had to take their market day to the next level and reach the public which enabled them to gain some great online marketing experience This was the second year that we had the opportunity to grow our focus on agribusiness This provides a window into how the production of these products works and all the decisions that need to be made along the way in order to supply a sustainable product to market Focussing on financial literacy our Yr 10 students learned tips and tricks on how to manage an income and start saving as soon as possible The online platform called Banqer helped them to get a feel for real life events and learn how to manage daily financial decisions in a safe space CAREERS Here s hoping for an even better 2023 and a growing department T he Careers team is all about helping students explore and pursue their career and study options once they leave Howick College through a variety of programmes and initiatives Some of the year s other highlights include Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners Shadow a Leader AUT is an exciting initiative organised by AUT s Faculty of Business Economics and Law connecting students with businesses At the end of term 2 AUT arranged for Yr 13 students Orlando Meadows Akshay Patel and Megan Wilkes to spend a day with a business Orlando went to Nikko Asset Management Akshay was at Fisher and Paykel Appliances and Megan spent the day at Gilbert Walker Law Firm All three students found their day insightful and inspiring Almost 40 students were involved in the MIT Trades Academy and the ITC Business of Tourism course Students attended one day a week for the MIT Trades Academy courses which included landscaping automotive building electrical business administration digital media hairdressing and youth healthcare The Red Shirts programme has continued to be a favourite Gateway experience with more than 20 students working at Warehouse Stationery or The Warehouse and gaining customer service credits Year 12 students Judy Fletcher and Courtney Abernethy pictured with their Customer Service Certificate Our annual Careers Evening held in June was another huge success giving students and parents the opportunity to talk to a wide variety of training providers and university liaisons Girls in High Vis is a hands on experience day aimed at encouraging more females into high vis infrastraucture industries This year 7 of our female students visited the new SkyCity Conference Centre currently being built by Fletcher Construction The barista course at Crown Institute of Studies was our most popular STAR course this year with nineteen students gaining barista skills Five students considering a career in beauty therapy visited the Premier Institute of Education in Newmarket and were fortunate to be treated to facials and manicures Girls in Games days for junior and senior students gave students hands on experiences at the Media Design School In term 2 Teodora Jotanovic Yr 13 Amelia Baldwin Yr 12 Ben Kennedy Yr 12 and Nathan Hendry Yr 12 completed the Level 2 Aviation Gateway Flying Program through Auckland Aero Club at Ardmore Airport Thanks to all those who came to discuss their ideas sought guidance and participated in a career event or experience We loved working with you and for you Ms Van Daatselaar HoD Careers 28 BACK CONTENTS NEXT 29 YEARBOOK 2022

ACADEMIC ENGLISH DEPARTMENT THE SMELL OF ASH CLASSICAL STUDIES Year 11 T his year the class undertook some fantastic projects one of which was creating papier m ch masks of characters in the Greek play Antigone by Sophocles Students enjoyed reading the book together as a class The dynamic in the classroom was a lot of fun with everyone getting into their characters and at times even acting out scenes from the play One of the main highlights of the year was the trip to the Auckland Museum to see the Ancient Greeks Athletes Warriors and Heroes exhibition It was fantastic to see firsthand some of the actual vases the class had been studying for several weeks Year 12 T he Yr 12s began the year by studying Homer s epic poem The Iliad Students read each chapter and analysed the events together learning about the historic Trojan War and the various prominent figures including heroes and gods that were involved The class then watched the film Troy which included much drooling over Achilles Hector and Helen In the second half of the year the class studied democracy in Ancient Greece and learned about the good the bad and the completely tyrannical leaders who held power over Greece across the centuries This included a three week long internal assessment in which students had the chance to come up with the amendments they would make had they been handed the reins of 500 BCE Greece O Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners here The pounding of their shoes and the creaking old wooden floorboards make it easy to track their whereabouts When they walk into the study they begin to talk about a dead chimney sweep boy that died centuries ago in the vents from asphyxiation This is another of the rituals these intruders seem to have clearly they must be by the fireplace I had only heard of the chimney sweep once before when I overheard a conversation between the lady of the house and her husband shortly before they went on their trip where she sounded upset Clean clothes are a luxury and only for those born wealthier than me so I do not change instead I reside in my rags as I make my way to the library My favourite book sits open on the table as always While my mother was never able to teach me to read the lady of the house made much more progress having me read along with her A generous woman letting me live in the house when employed there I can t bring myself to turn the page without her so I anxiously await her and her husband s return from their cruise to the United States of America The intruders look around some more before the stairs state they are ready to leave As I am about to sigh with relief my lungs betray me and let out a single cough I pray that they did not hear it but the stairs change their tune I shrink into the corner as the footsteps stop The door flies open as if it had been pulled from its hinges our faces meet and we lock eyes For a second we stare silently at each other and I observe them Their faces are pale white as ghosts and their eyes are large and unblinking The silence is broken by a scream and the slamming of the door I cower against the wall no longer trusting the song of the stairs or the slamming of the front door I hear the front door open on the floor below its creaking echoing throughout the house Hastily I make my way to greet my employers but stop myself at the staircase The people at the door are not my employers they are intruders I glide silently to the top of the stairs having not yet been spotted and listen to them Recently there have been several intruders in the house There are always 3 intruders but only 1 ever stays the same the other 2 are always different They break in look around discuss the house and then leave I ve wondered to myself if they simply think nothing is worth stealing and hope there will be something the next time Year 13 ur Yr 13s started the year off by studying the famous Aeneid written by the great poet Virgil An interesting piece of literature this epic poem gave the class a good insight into the Roman world In the second half of the year we moved on to studying Augustus Caesar Students learned about this renowned Roman figure his rise to power his influence on the ancient world and the lasting impact he was to have on generations to come I make my way into the coat closet as they finish scouring the bottom floor and head upstairs From experience they do not check the coat closet therefore I should be safe in A highlight for the Yr 13 class was the day trip to the Auckland Museum where students had the opportunity to view the Ancient Greeks Athletes Warriors and Heroes exhibit For many it was a fitting conclusion to a three year long journey I wait a couple of minutes more hunched in the darkness before feeling it is safe to exit The house stands silently its quietness saying that no one is in the house While confirming the intruders had not taken anything the glint of the setting sun pierces my eyes through a window After my investigation I prepare for sleep I walk into the fireplace and float my way to the highest flat vent in the house paying no attention to the maze of vents like I once did but simply going through the walls when needed I rest my head on the cold soot covered floor and return to my slumber Jus Ranzinger Yr 12 DANDELIONS I felt the blades of grass brush gently across my legs as I walked through the field of dandelions They were dad s favourite flowers The bright joyful clusters dotted the meadow as far as the eyes could see It was spring and the aroma of freshly cut grass and blossoming flowers made my nose tingle It reminded me of endless hours spent with dad rolling through the grass gathering bunches of dandelions As the breeze carried their sweet scent I remembered the

sees looking at me I shouldn t even be here I don t want to be here But it would be suspicious if I wasn t It would just make it easier for them to track me down Tears prick my eyes as I fight back a laugh they don t even know who she is or what she s done Everyone mourns her unpredictable death and I am the only one who knows Everyone mourns I have to leave As I sat in the field I could feel him

pain I forced my tired body to stand up from the spot of grass I had been sitting in for what seemed like hours My legs felt numb as I stood I thought of my dad and all the good times we spent together and I knew that I never wanted to forget them So I picked a bunch of the best looking dandelions I could find I planned to put the bunch next to the picture of dad that we always kept on the fireplace I loved that picture I brought the bunch to my nose and inhaled their sweet scent The scent carried years of memories reminding me that dad would never really be gone The dandelions would

Studies with the addition of two new staff members Ms Mok and Ms Prasad The year also saw the introduction of Sports Media Studies in both Yr 12 and Yr 13 Students began the year with a horror genre study analysing horror media from film to video games and looking at how the genre is shaped by the need to be profitable and to appeal to a particular group The next unit looked at advertising and society and with the combined knowledge from these two units students then produced horror themed radio commercials Year 11 Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners From films to TV shows and even video game this genre has seen significant growth and has both influenced and been influenced by its relationship with millennial generation horror fans The two Yr 12 classes dived into narrative theory across a range of media before using these theories to create documentaries and mockumentaries on a wide range of topics from mockumentary s like Alex Penney s stop motion classic The Pink Fog and Ashlee Simon s Raw Meat about a gay vampire couple to more informative documentaries like Chloe Gan s Behind the Screen an investigation of social media Cullan Riley and Kenndric Corpuz s Under Lights about school athletes and mental health and Alysha Jeffs Rhea Pradhan and Isabella Vukich s profile of the school s underwater hockey team We then analysed the Reality TV genre looking at the genre s role within the television industry commercial viability and how it has been shaped by its audiences Year 10 Sports Media Studies This new course took the standards from Yr 12 and Yr 13 Media Studies and applied them to sports related media Our Yr 13s recorded and produced a school sport broadcast in the style of a televised commercial broadcast with scoreboards replays and commentary gaining an insight into how sports media functions as a business Teams covered included the 1st XI Football a notable example being the Premier Leagueinspired broadcast by Henry Lee Eshaan Ghoshal and Milan Kennedy Premier Basketball produced by three groups with Akshay Jerampatel Cole Readings and Myles NixonBentley creating an outstanding product full of humorous on screen graphics and the 1st XI Boys Hockey produced by two groups Our Yr 12s took a different approach covering smaller games ranging from table tennis to 3x3 basketball to judo to practice their production skills in a more controlled setting They also attended live televised sports events to gain an insight into what goes on behind the scenes on game day Year 13 The year started with production looking at film techniques and applying them to create opening sequences to fictional TV shows Standouts included Nicole Cao s animated teen comedy System Fall Freya Newbould s Tommy Tudor and Justin Seav Denim Curd and Jotinder Bhamra s sitcom Opposites Attract The class also studied news coverage what goes on behind the scenes with events like the war in Ukraine used as a case study They then studied the sitcom genre and how it is specifically constructed to succeed within the confines of television Your hands shake from the freezing glacial cold like a quadrillion little needles Covid 19 disruptions stalled the Yr 13 productions delaying many submissions however standouts at the time of writing were Quarantine by Gypsy Harvey an exploration of the stress of lockdown complete with stunning animations and

infinity over a vast plain of water But just past that line hides home Home a warm place where the lazy ocean hugs the shore and your loved ones wait for you Home where your burnt heart longs to be Fear What would happen if you returned home could this eternal loop of pain and loneliness end Would there still be a home for you The universe perches on the edge holding nothing no answers and then abruptly it holds everything all at once Everything materialises into truth In an instant the edge of infinity yawns and gapes open in front of you the tenebrosity splits sending out strands of warm

scheming adults from betrayal and strife It s just the tide and the fish Something moved coiling up on itself like a fish Silently screaming he kicked and lashed with his knife The octopus pulled him deeper until his chest felt as if it would burst Its strange eyes stared Under the body within its writhing mass was a sharp snapping beak Seb sprung towards the creature Suddenly they were on a collision course The octopus tried to slide more tentacles under Seb but he plunged the knife into the monster s eye Black mist filled the water Seb felt the creature s grip tighten He stabbed again blindly His lungs burned but the octopus s hold loosened Seb nearly let out his breath Beneath him he saw a long tentacle curling up and round his ankle He felt pain stab through his leg as the creature began to crush Seb gritted his teeth and pulled the dagger from his belt The giant octopus unfolded itself from the tiny hole it had hidden in It was the size of a small carriage Its skin boiled with colour pulsing red and green as more arms surged up towards Seb Seb kicked his way to freedom He felt refreshed as he burst through the surface And then he saw the shark Lily Moore centre

ACADEMIC INNOVATION STREAM FUTURE STUDIES EXPRESSIVE WELL BEING In Future Studies Science and English students explored the future in a variety of ways and were fascinated to consider what changes could occur during their lifetime Most of the topics focused on how we can approach these issues and think about solutions in creative and different ways An example of this was thinking about the

our key capabilities of communication and collaboration through group work presentations to the class and in writing This class combines Health Physical Education and the Arts Hauora drugs and alcohol and sexuality are topical discussions in any teenager s life Discussing mental health in an open collaborative environment gave students the confidence to ask for help and advice Developing critical thinking by understanding the impact that our actions can have allows them to say no with confidence and own their choices especially when peer pressure can lead to involvement in drugs and alcohol Sexuality teaches and creates awareness around what teenagers go through One of the class s favourite activities was when their teacher used charades as a way to discuss sexuality Humour made a

once was a dark black revealed a face as white as snow The name on his tag read Oliver The man s eyes welled up at the sight of the name A lone tear dripping onto the damp cobbles A lonely intake of

and broken As I begin to see my fellow dinosaurs flick their heads up to the sky I follow My view is obstructed by a gigantic flaming ball of rock falling from the sky The sky is falling and I am

ACADEMIC SPANISH N ow in our second year of Spanish at Howick College we are very excited to offer for the first time a senior Spanish class Our first Yr 11 class started the year by revising their language knowledge and building up a deeper understanding of Spanish grammar Students embraced this challenging but interesting course exploring topics such as technology in everyday life tourism and the importance of a healthy lifestyle which enabled the students to communicate beyond their personal sphere Linked to the health topic students watched the movie Cien metros 100 Metres by Marcel Barrena which explores the topics of resilience and health Our Yr 9 students began the year by learning the basics and were able to introduce themselves and speak about their family and pets The class then explored the history and traditions of the South American continent starting with the Mayan Incan and Aztec worlds and finishing with the Day of the Dead Festival We also took part in a tapas workshop and visited the Auckland Art Gallery to see the Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera exhibition We were very lucky to have the Spanish Language Advisor to New Zealand Ms Clara Jimeno Gomez run the tapas workshop Students made several traditional tapas dishes pan con tomate bread with rubbed tomato banderillas pickles on toothpicks and tostadas con sardinas toast with sardines For some it was a Fear Factor experience trying things like sardines and pickled onions but everyone gave it a go The art exhibition introduced students to two very important artists exploring the Mexican arts history and politics These cultural opportunities add layers to the students learning enabling deeper connections between language and culture Our Yr 10s have advanced significantly this year looking into hobbies school family and the city as well as talking about past holidays and making plans for future trips They also investigated cultural festivals such as La Pachamama Mother Earth and comparing it with M ori myths and the festival Las Fallas a festivity that combines tradition satire and art in the form of giant human like wood sculptures The cultural assessment on food allowed students to discover traditional foods and marketplaces from around the Spanish speaking world TE REO MAORI Whaia te pae tawhiti kia tata Ko te pae tata whakamaua kia tina Pursue your goals to the furthest horizon Use new skills as tools to achieve further goals A fter the uncertainty and disruption of the past 2 years our students were excited for the return of face toface teaching and learning Whilst there has still been an online component the key to successfully learning te reo M ori has been the hands on activities focussing on te ao M ori particularly the language Madame Santo TiC European Languages Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners Our junior and senior classes studied various topics throughout the year but a highlight has been students gaining the confidence to speak about themselves in te reo M ori Our senior students practiced their ability to write te reo and translate from English into te reo learning about the rules of grammar along the way Themes this year included our classes sharing kai together as a whanau to celebrate Matariki and Te wiki o te reo M ori Activities were planned by the students themselves to promote the language Earlier this year we completed the mural on the Te Reo M ori classroom Whaea Eleanor HoD M ori Ehara T ku toa i te toa takitahi engari toa takitini My strength is not as an individual but as a collective Studying te reo M ori offers not just the bridging skills for learning the basis of our language but it also offers a comfortable environment where you can learn M ori and have fun at the same time Our learning is separated into 4 different sections Whakarongo listening P nui reading K rero speaking and Tuhi writing We do tuhi throughout the entire year and its standards To get Achieved is easy yes but to get Merit and even further Excellence is much harder than people think Te reo studies isn t just a class of learning it s a community Kristel Kelly Yr 11 62 BACK CONTENTS NEXT 63 YEARBOOK 2022

ACADEMIC MATHEMATICS T o say that the school year 2022 was up in the air is an understatement Mask wearing was fashionable and rostering home or shortening class days were viable health solutions Classrooms that used to burst at the seams had way more legroom for those students and teachers who were neither sick nor isolating However a positive outcome from the daily changing class sizes was that Maths classes became even more highly differentiated LIBRARY T he new Howick College library opened in 1995 and towards the end of this year almost thirty years later we will begin a long overdue refurbishment of both the Library and G Block The renovation will be completed in stages and aims to create a flexible library space suitable for a variety of purposes Special mention must be made of Stephanie Cary and Kendra Cornell both in Year 13 who will each receive a Gold Service Award for the second year in a row They have been exemplary student librarians for the past four years and we wish them the very best for the future Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners Teachers ingenuity was truly tested in challenging situations as when half of the class would be present while the other half was isolating at home Not to mention that still other students were in another hemisphere of the world waiting to join online sessions Our librarians for 2022 were I have been pondering how much the library has changed since I started working here Students today with their devices internet access wireless printing the cloud and ability to locate resources from around the world via the online library catalogue would not recognise the library of 1995 which at the time was considered cutting edge Year 10 Most mornings the staff room was filled with nervous anticipation as we awaited the lottery results regarding who would be taking on the classes of covid sick or isolating colleagues Fortunately for the Maths Department this school year was also a renaissance in expertise with most of the experienced staff staying on supplemented by Mr Ruhani Bhatti Matthew Cheng Kaity Ellis Sukhman Garcha Muhammad Khurram Minka Klopper Pika Ranzinger Year 11 Fortunately we have been able to keep up with the myriad of changes in technology and resources over the years However one thing that has not changed is the need for our students to be critical thinkers Now more than ever we must give our konga the skills and strategies they need to discern the difference between the information and misinformation they encounter daily Zoe Dixon Ashley Nam Roma Kumar Nadine Wesseling We continue to promote literacy the ability to read and comprehend what is read as it is fundamental to academic success Encouraging our students to read regularly for pleasure is an on going mission So as we do every December we celebrated our most prolific junior readers Stephanie Cary Kendra Cornell Gamiao and Mr Zeng returning to Howick College after brief stints in other schools and by Mr Chiu Mr Glenton Ms Shen Mr Salmanpour and Mrs Mathew coming onboard the department waka For students in various Maths programmes 2022 was a period of accomplishments more so than previous years Two students Leila Alsabak sat in Yr 12 and Hannah Milo passed the Scholarship Statistics exam Leila obtained the only Outstanding result for any scholarship exam in the entire school and Corey Davey sat in Yr 12 passed the Scholarship Calculus exam Maths students sitting scholarship papers before they even reach Year 13 is not uncommon This is a testament to our students high capabilities in Mathematics Many of our young mathematicians displayed remarkable courage in local and national competitions For the first time students represented Howick College in the NZ Engineering Science Competition NZESC organised by the University of Auckland Their pioneering participation is hoped to increase interest among other students in choosing Maths Modelling as a subject pathway Year 12

ACADEMIC SCIENCE STUDENT WRITING F inally back in the classroom the Science teachers were able to deliver consistent programmes of learning this year Our seniors were able to get out of the classroom venturing to many corners of Auckland on field trips while our junior scientists got to experience dissections of eyes and hearts and if lucky saw the rat dissection too This year we also said farewell to our longstanding science technician Mrs Desley Minahan who left us after 12 years of service We wish her well for her next project WE ARE SORRY EPro8 Semifinalists Jack Want Harry Gan Brody Hutchinson Kieran Gawn Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners Field trips included Mangere maunga Kelly Tarlton s Auckland Zoo some local streams and beaches and even planting trips At Mangere we created frothy simulation volcanoes climbed for the views got drowned by a rain squall and delved into a lava cave At Kelly Tarlton s we saw the penguins and explored how they survive in extreme environments At the Auckland Zoo students were shown how hominim skulls have changed over time saw stone tools and looked at animal behaviour The stream study group investigated erosion patterns alongside Pakuranga Stream splodging through the stream to collect volume flow rate data while the beach study group witnessed evidence of the 20 million year old processes that created and changed the Howick Cliffs Science is found within all three learning streams mainstream Innovation stream and Sport in Education stream and teachers within those areas have been packaging the learning contexts to suit students interests Junior science continues to have the freedom to nurture students towards making the right choices when they get to senior years so aspects of nutrition energy use forces genetics ecology reactions earth in space etc are all studied Don t remember us for our crimes or the days spent in selfish hatred Of the world preceding our reach But we can smell the horror of our thoughts That are materialised in aspirations and hope for a world passed so quickly We d two hands and a mouth Without a brain to compensate for the errors of our lives that we can now see A thought like that can be the death of a person unwilling of compassion A lack of attentiveness and justice War righteousness and God were more important than the breath of a baby To whom we cannot confess our guilt Forgotten rather quickly though Is the planet we ve called Earth and left for you to collapse into We regret the words Earth s endured With forgiving intent and open ears that we would wound with words of contempt You our children our grandchildren our descendants that we have killed By being selfish and careless A spring of wisdom and knowledge meets us in the immaterial afterlife complete with a refreshing forecast of existence Of the earth we d pass on to you A poisoned chalice that will eventually kill you kill humans and kill existence Now we have a reason to believe That none of us meant harm but that necessity had found us as it may do to you Because we needed to win and show off our nuclear power and global status But we killed you all One day it may catch up to you when your back is turned to the wall And you ve no fear of death Look at what we ve done We are sorry EVERYONE MOURNS We gave many Yr 11 students the flexibility to alternate between internal and external papers often with a change of teacher to allow each student to maximise their grade outcomes We had 75 of our Yr 12 students take at least one senior science subject this year

ACADEMIC HISTORY O n the 9th of August 40 very excited Yr 12 History students headed off to Wellington for an overnight trip to explore our capital city The focus of the trip was on our legal and political system and where studying History could take you in the future SOCIAL SCIENCES While some of us lined up for airport coffees after our 6 00am meeting time others opted to snooze on the plane before diving into a packed day of exploring Wellington on foot The weather was not so kind to us this year but Day One highlights included visiting parliament meeting our local Botany MP Christopher Luxon and of course sitting in on question time and watching our Members of Parliament in action Those considering future GEOGRAPHY 13 GEO Rotorua Trip development of tourism in Rotorua A short scavenger hunt was won by the duo of Sophie Andrews and Mac Keating Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners 2 022 was a challenge for our geography field trips due to the ongoing Covid 19 issues in term 1 Only one of the four trips went ahead as planned and even that one was in doubt until the last minute with numbers changing until the last 24 hours Eventually a small but enthusiastic group loaded up the coach on a beautiful Thursday morning and headed off to Rotorua The purpose of the trip was two fold allowing students to collect primary data on changing land use patterns for their research assessment but also to help them experience and understand how tourism developed in one of New Zealand s major tourism destinations Our next appointment was the Agri show at the Agrodome which is one of the popular cultural attractions just outside Rotorua It was a small group due to the lack of international visitors however this did not detract from the enjoyment especially as several students had the opportunity to milk a cow bottle feed some kids of the goat kind and meet sheep and dogs Brayden Jenks even had a chance to compare hairstyles careers in law were very interested in our tours of both the High Court and the Supreme Court and some of us squeezed in a visit to Te Papa as well Day Two began with a few bleary eyes and a big buffet breakfast This was followed by a visit to the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand This was an extraordinary experience for all of us with an opportunity to really reflect on this significant historical event Before we knew it it was back to the airport for our flight home and more snoozing This visit to Wellington is always much anticipated by our Year 12 students and never disappoints Mrs Mitchell The best was left till last Our final stop was Velocity Valley Rotorua s home of speed and adrenaline Adventure tourism is a big attraction for visitors so of course we had to give things a try There were many screams as students swooped from a serious height as well as the adrenaline surging jetboat Some students raced on the shweeb as others practiced their skydiving techniques on the freefall Following a quick stop at Matamata and the chance for staff and students to grab some elevenses we continued with the last leg of the journey arriving in time for lunch Afterwards we had a pleasant walk in the sun along the 3km stretch of Fenton Street carefully collecting land use data Our next appointment was with the luge at Skyline Skyrides and a couple of runs down the slopes of Ngongotaha There were a few dodgy overtaking manoeuvres as students and staff raced down the course Soon it was time to head to our hotel for a quick swim in the pool in fading light Dinner for most students meant descending on Nando s with some enjoying the biggest candy floss I ve ever seen at the night market We headed back to Auckland with a tired but happy group of geographers arriving safely at school with lots of happy memories of their final geography field trip at Howick College I must thank Mr Bannister for his wonderful support and for taking the time out of his busy schedule to join us on this trip I can t finish without passing on my thanks to this fantastic group of students They have been a delight to take on our field trips and are great ambassadors for the school I wish them well for their future adventures The morning started with a lovely continental breakfast then a quick trip to the old museum Tea Rooms in the Government Gardens for a talk on the history of the Ms Urwin HoD Geography 68 BACK CONTENTS NEXT 69 YEARBOOK 2022

ACADEMIC THE IMPORTANCE OF BEAUTY I ve never been a person who has felt particularly secure in either my identity or my physical being I ve spent too much time worrying about how others perceived me making changes to fit an expectation I thought society had of me I spent too many nights awake debating ways I could change to fit in Being so caught up in worrying about what others found beautiful I didn t take the time to admire the world and its simple beauty The vibrant green of leaves and the way that the sun dances on water all going unnoticed while I dug myself a deeper hole Over the past 18 months to 2 years I ve gotten to know a group of four who are friendly and kind giving a love that is unconditional It was these four people who started to change my way of thinking who taught me the importance of self expression and being comfortable within yourself As my confidence grew and I stopped focusing on the nit picky things about my person it gave me a chance to breathe This chance to breathe gave me a chance to look to see to take the world in This chance came with a mountain of benefits SOCIOLOGY T his year has been a journey of reflection and discovery among Sociology students who were given the opportunity to explore various social issues and enhance their knowledge on how to resolve these issues through social actions had the opportunity to expand their knowledge of human rights values and ideologies in a practical way In a slightly different context our Yr 13 students had to influence a policy change of their choice by organising a social action One of the groups chose to address the issue of homophobia in schools which negatively impacts many New Zealand students These students noticed that while our school is very supportive of the LGBTQ community there was no public policy in place to protect students from homophobia or discrimination To resolve this they met with our principal to discuss adding this policy to the school website Students teachers and Mr Ropati agreed that clarifying school policy on the Howick College website would be beneficial and only a week later the new policy was updated online success Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners One of the highlights of our Yr 11 course was working alongside Auckland City Mission an organisation that responds to the needs of people in Auckland in relation to housing food insecurity and health A member of Auckland City Mission visited us to give an overview of the organisation and all it does for the community Within the classroom students took on a range of roles and worked collectively to gather donations from our community which Auckland City Mission used to provide for people in need In our Yr 12 classes students were free to choose an issue in society they wanted to target with their social action From beach clean ups to visiting primary schools to discuss topics like bullying with younger pupils the Yr 12s ill anxiety has been and will probably always be a part of my life that s just there kind of like a freckle A big freckle probably more like a birthmark that you know is there and always will be My anxiety got to a level where I needed to start looking beyond relationships that were beginning to have a detrimental effect on my mental health Again life wasn t bad however the things I once found joy in were quickly disappearing Life is rough and has its challenges I m not going to say that my life so far has been awful I had a decent childhood surrounded by the people who have turned me into the person I am right now and certainly didn t face hardship within my household Outside factors such as childhood bullies have played a key part in my upbringing but again nothing really to complain about and I m fortunate to have the life that I am able to live However every action has its consequences and while I m thankful for what life has shown me so far I still struggle The struggles stem from the way that my mind works and processes things how I respond and the way that I can quickly fall into a cycle of overthinking and self sabotaging behaviour I m not suggesting that I m severely mentally Thank you to all the students who let themselves be guided on this adventure Mr Elling TiC Sociolgy This is when I started paying closer attention to my surroundings Not at the mess of society and the politics plaguing everything and everyone but the way that the light sparkles off a puddle and how mother nature takes back her world by invading rundown buildings I began to see so many pretty sights that very easily put me in a state of calm and it was at this point that I invested more of my time into photography and the mechanics around it so that I could capture the things I saw and have a permanent record My SD cards are full of everything from sunset pictures and unusually shaped clouds to stickers on random bus stops at random places throughout the city Occasionally I ll look at these pictures and I am put into the same state of calm that I was in at the moment I took the photo I never quite realised how pretty the world was nor how easy it was to find that beauty in any place you looked I didn t realise just how powerful its calming effect was until it started to make a significant impact on my mental health which is why the beauty in the world around me is important to me and my way of life A simple picture can be enough to calm me down when in a heightened state of anxiety however pictures don t quite do the realworld justice Jessica Griffiths Yr 12 STUDENT WRITING EVERYONE MOURNS Tears rushed down my face My eyes stung as I wiped away the puddles Black was the only colour I could comprehend The cheap smell of tacky pink peonies fake friends brought as we gathered seemed to be the only scent my nose could detect Like a wolf in sheep s clothing chaotic noises filled the air followed by discreet disrespectful murmurs disguised as love and then suddenly it felt as though the cold air was penetrating my clothes piercing my skin like a bouquet of needles The hairs on my arms stood straighter than my legs and goosebumps covered my body placing me in a state of paralysis As I regained consciousness of my environment I remembered what I was mourning Lying on the soft off white fabric sat all the opinions memories and emotions of a once foolish child my diary I stumbled towards the open casket past an ocean of imposters only to sneak a glimpse I was frozen as everything came rushing back The mortification I experienced was overwhelming My stomach turned Gabby Ndaba Yr 10 Flash

ACADEMIC STUDENT WRITING EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION Yr 12 ECE The highlight of this vocational course is always the work experience component Every Wednesday morning during term 2 Yr 12 students go into numerous Early Childhood Education centres in our community This provides an excellent vocational opportunity for students allowing them to experience first hand working with children of various ages Another fun and exciting activity for Yr 12 students is to dress and look after an egg baby for one week as part of their assessment work AWAY FROM THE SEA Year 13 ECE As part of their assessment work Yr 13 ECE classes make a trip to the zoo during term 3 each year to observe pre schoolers in a novel environment and evaluate how conducive the zoo layout is for pre schoolers This is a much anticipated field trip and always very popular with our students The damp earth suffocates his still body the only mother left to comfort him As weeds climb over the skin and bones he sinks further into the ground bit by bit into the abyss bit by bit The soft thrum of the few and far between footsteps sound overhead The muted mutter and mumble of the living barely audible from six feet underground No gravestone blemishes his sacred ground only a small plaque his name squeezed in between Barbara Jones and Edward Clark Beloved husband and devoted son Gone but never forgotten No flowers adorn the ground where he sleeps the sun highlighting the cracked and weathered granite overgrown with weeds But he wasn t gone He remembers once again the retiring sun Clouds grey toned plastered the sky punctuated by low ominous cracks of thunder He could hear it hear the stronger and stronger crashing of waves The wind brushing past his ears faster and faster The shrill caterwaul of the gulls overhead and the warmth of her hand in his their fingers intertwining A pair of footsteps in the sand traversing further and further along the beach She leaned in close her hair dancing in the air teased by the wind The strawberry blonde strands tickling his cheek Her hot breath against his neck The adoration in her eyes The soft calm rise and fall of her chest But as she parted her lips there came a faint whisper Sorry He loved the sea He loved those curiously halcyon days filled with fervour and passion the intoxicating salty breeze the acidity of the wind intermingling with bittersweet feelings He felt himself slip away into the blissful cat s paw escaping into the placid waves his hair dishevelled by the cautious wind He could breathe there he could run through the silky sand feel it slipping between his fingers like the fine sands of an hourglass And there it was The ache in his gut He felt sick and suddenly he could hear his own heartbeat throbbing in his ears His entire body shuddered and convulsed folding over gagging on his own blood It felt as if his veins were about to burst as his entire body tensed in pain Sorry Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners But his time had run out Instead he was left within the confinement of the 8 foot hole He really didn t remember much nor could he feel much anymore a blessing in disguise as now at least he didn t need to smell the rotting of his own body He didn t possess the ability to do anything but long for the sea breeze to take him into its solacing arms Sometimes he wondered why he was still here Why must he stay like a dog tied to train tracks and watch the holes in his brain decay Truthfully while the man he once was on the surface was now less than a stranger he did remember one thing He was never alone at the beach He remembers striding through the dampened sand the tips of his sturdy boots kicking the clumps of sand her sandals kicking spritzes of sand up the back of her legs A cool dusk wind blows past them as the leftover waves wash over their feet before retreating to the sea His eyes dropped he stared at the carmine seeping into the warm sand below The metal inside him was cold and piercing He gasped and begged for air although it felt as though he wasn t breathing at all Sorry No sounds left his body as he stared at the gaping hole where his heart had been He was on the ground now coated in the sanguine sand as he writhed clawing for any form of pity He could no longer feel the crashing of the waves or her breath on his neck or the adoration in her eyes His ears rang the sickening taste of the saltwater washes over him stealing the last of his blood He couldn t feel the knife anymore just the overwhelming numbing almost euphoric feeling of death He couldn t blink as he stared at the vermillion like a deer in headlights He couldn t move Sorry She grabbed the wrist of his lifeless body and dragged him away from the sea Emily Larmour EVERYONE MOURNS I miss

EXTRA CURRICULAR DEBATING STUDENT WRITING SENIOR DEBATING THE OPPOSITE OF BEING ALIVE D ebating this year was quite an experience The year began with some uncertainty about whether debates would be online or in person but as Covid 19 cases increased it became evident that this year would also be done online This brought happiness to some and sadness to others as online debating over Zoom is vastly different from debating in person and lacks atmosphere However others were happy as it meant they would not have to travel the often long distances to another school Personally I found debating this year to be a fun experience as it allowed me to work with and get to know people I normally wouldn t interact with My team was faced with various moots the environment people or other general topics in day to day life The most interesting and memorable moot this year for me was about congestion charges I had never heard of these charges and so the moot allowed me to research the topic further to gain a better understanding Coldness devours me My nose My wrists My toes I am frozen unable to move Life is being sucked out of me as the clock ticks by Each noise ripples through my mind I can no longer bear my weight It all feels too much My knees crumble to the bare floor Energy seeps out of me I close my eyes to conserve what adrenaline I have left but it feels useless It was great to see so many new people eager to join the debating club and proudly represent our school This year my team consisted of Orlando Meadows Yr 13 Emma Beaumont Yr 12 Mya Figgins Yr 12 and myself Whilst Mya and I are experienced debaters Orlando and Emma were newcomers to senior debating Of our five debates we won three and lost two although one win and one loss came by way of default as either we or the other team had to withdraw because of Covid 19 A ton of bricks has been lifted off me and I m grinning ear to ear with freedom My eyes burst open and I look around An unfamiliar area Evergreen trees circle me The sky is a haunting grey with crows screeching Behind me the evil house snarls He s gone That little bastard Shouts erupt from deep down in the house That is my cue to get out of here while I still can My feet seem to float me away leaving the wicked voices to eat my dust Sehandu Maharage Yr 12 JUNIOR DEBATING Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners D ebating not a lot of people even give this club a second thought as they think it s boring and uninteresting But it s exactly the opposite though it s full of anxiety when you re waiting those long 10 minutes to get your results Even if I must wait I still wouldn t give up this experience I have made many new friends and had many laughs Overall it is such a joyous experience I met people from different year groups people I would have just passed in the corridor if not for debating We discovered each other s ideas and how we saw things we collaborated and we expanded our viewpoints together I don t know how long I ve been pushing my body but it seems to have paid off My pace slows to a stop I notice little doodles on the side of a church building I m in Whang rei I m home Yet it feels like I have glasses on that are showing me a different reality I wander the streets towards my house The sky sulks overhead as I approach a poster The face on it is so familiar that it feels like looking in a mirror The photograph is of me My cheekbones are raised in a grin with a gleam in my eyes Lost My son Josh Stevenson is lost Please help find him the sign my own thinking and helped me to consider a range of different ideas that I probably wouldn t have otherwise The skills I have gained from debating have also helped me in school and outside of school I can empathise with others more because I have learned to see things from their perspective I can also be more creative with school projects and assessments because I am able to explain my ideas better Not to mention that because of debating I am able to win so many arguments and convince others of my ideas in essays and assignments Everyone come quick Josh has been found Me But I m right here I think Yet I follow invested in this mystery He s this way a diabolical voice exclaims Vivid flashes flicker before my eyes as more of my life disappears Overall debating is an exciting and challenging experience that we have all come to love and hopefully the newcomers have also learned to embrace the wonders of debating Next year with any luck we can return to in person debating and show just how good our teams are However this year wouldn t have been possible without the teachers who coached us and Mr Jack who ran the debating teams Thank you reads Having lost track of the time I was held in captivity I am now excited about finally being with family again I pick up the pace and attempt to sprint home dodging everyone in my path when I hear a familiar shout in the distance It s true I have been found A body twisted and wounded sprawls out over the riverbank People stare at my remains The townspeople s mortified faces gawk at the grazes and scratches covering my exposed skin I m here I plead with a croaking voice ponds forming in my eyes I m here I m here I M HERE Please My knees collapse into the soft muddy riverbank All the eyes look through me and down at my body My dead body I m gone Days have passed As my mother cries over my casket I look at this crowd full of my loved ones tears streaming down their faces I m imprisoned in this new dimension separated from everyone My hand attempts to grasp my mother s arm but it falls through her There were times when I felt like living wasn t worth it but being here has me mourning my life I m stuck Stuck in this weird world Stuck grasping at a lost cause Stuck being the opposite of alive Alexis Taylor Yr 12 Pika Ranzinger Yr 10 Debating has taught me so much I learnt to listen to and help build upon the ideas of others This has developed PROGRAMMING E SPORTS he

Healthcare gift basket presentation Z ZONTA CLUB We started the year by supporting the Arts Out East group by making 174 pom poms for a community art display at Ormiston Town Centre The theme was Connection especially fitting during the Covid 19 restrictions period when people were experiencing the desperation of social isolation Members then signed up for the Red Puppy Appeal and RSA Poppy Day Collection drives Again because of social isolation these community groups were actively seeking community assistance so it was pleasing some of our members signed up O ur group s purpose aligns with Zonta International s mission and lies in advocating for women empowering our members and educating our school community on societal inequalities We feel that our club has succeeded in achieving these goals throughout the year Amongst our initiatives this year has been the introduction of our Wellness Wednesday group This was an opportunity to connect with girls and non binary students at our school who are looking for a friend to lean on and a space to form relationships and build confidence Our Zonta team has endeavored to empower each other to make the most of opportunities and to be curious and courageous in the face of that which frightens us We have shared our thoughts our knowledge and our accomplishments building a culture of self esteem that will sustain us for years to come Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners The 40 Hour Famine drive gave us another great opportunity to become educated about the heart warming work of World Vision and its safe drinking water project While LEO members themselves signed up for the 40 Hour Famine we held a sausage sizzle as well raising 287 towards the famine drive We also participated in many tree planting days and acted as student hosts at several school events We ran a food stall at the International Food Festival and chose to spotlight the cuisine the staple diet actually of three third world countries featuring in

have cared for us in times of need and worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic to protect our wh nau Alongside local businesses and donations from our club we created a care package complete with cards of thanks and appreciation for staff at our East Care Medical Centre We hope this has relayed a message to people across our community that even through simple actions we can bring a smile to someone s face and spread joy LEO Club also had the opportunity of conjointly working with the LEOs from Hillary College on a Keep NZ Beautiful Beach Clean Up of Howick and Cockle Bay beaches after which we were treated to a BBQ by LIONS Howick In August we were honoured with the presence of members of the East Auckland Zonta Club and the Governor of Zonta New Zealand Phillippa Jacobs Lory Hearing from them has illuminated the pathways lying ahead for us to continue to advocate for women We seniors leave LEO Club in the hands of our very capable juniors and know that they will continue to lead experience and seek opportunities to make a positive difference in our world Another important aspect of our work this year together with the Pastoral Council has been the implementation of sanitary product dispensers Our group felt passionately that it is unacceptable for students in New Zealand to miss out on their basic right to an education because they cannot afford period products We have also committed to introducing and maintaining dispensers in seven school bathrooms as well as providing free packs of pads and tampons to students in all departmental resource rooms LEO

EVENTS STUDENT WRITING NCEA EXCELLENCE AND NZ SCHOLARSHIPS WHY I am so tired Wide eyed I stare into the darkness above the rustle of the autumn breeze breaking through the trees is loud and restless Rain knocks on my front door begging to come inside I ignore it I do not like the rain it is cold and messy and unpredictable it can ruin someone s day so easily and wouldn t even give them a second thought I don t like sand either It is coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere I need to sleep My brain wanders like a little kid in a grocery store and just like the little kid who doesn t realise the problem it causes its mum my brain doesn t realise the problem its causing me I lie awake while my brain wanders through never ending aisles looking at every item on the shelf Our brains are a curse that you cannot get rid of They will eat away at you every day and night of your life overthinking everything stressing you out forcing you to relive your worst memories I am too tired to sleep water We only very recently moved into this house ever since the passing of my father we have been moving from house to house trying to find a place that feels like home but so far we have been unsuccessful The house was old and Victorian style dark hardwood floors and ceilings with patterned interior joists gave the house an old library feel The poorly insulated floors caused the cold to seep through my socks and into my bones infecting my body As I keep walking towards the kitchen I realize to my surprise the house isn t speaking to me with high pitched creaks like the voice of a grandmother as it usually does However I am grateful that it is keeping my secret for if my mother was to find out that I was awake on a school night at this hour it would be worse than dying I have decided to accept the fact that I am not going to sleep tonight I slowly get out of bed trying not to make much noise and go into the kitchen to get some We are proud to share the exceptional results of the following students who achieved New Zealand Scholarships We also acknowledge their teachers and families who supported and encouraged them throughout their learning journey

Jaggi Sukhleen Kaur Sofie Keane Joanna Kim Stephanie Lai Krystal Lal Nicole Liddington Madeleine Logan Norager Sarah Marais Tane Mather Joyce Mei Hannah Milo Instead of grabbing a cup from the shelf I simply drink straight from the tap letting the water run down my throat but the cold water feels as if it is simply passing right through my body and leaves an icy feeling in my throat and stomach Seems like that is exactly what I needed feeling quenched but heavy eyed I make my way back to my room praying that I will be able to get some well needed rest As I push open the door to my bedroom I see lying in my bed wide eyed gazing into the darkness above a figure I stand staring my breath has been torn from my lungs and my legs cemented to the floor I tower over the helpless body of myself and gaze deep into the empty colourless eyes and a soulless face that is so familiar The sweet drool inducing smell of dinner still lingers in the air baked potatoes with pot roast and roasted brussel sprouts My mother always makes a roast dinner on Sundays It s always been my favourite dinner ever since I was a kid Coming back from church around lunch and spending time with my cousins and extended family always made me feel so grateful to have such a family We haven t been to church in a very long time My mum said that if there really was a God then he would not have let my father die in that

XI GIRLS W e started the year with a pre season tournament where it became obvious that we had a strong and talented group of girls It was exciting to see the team learn to play together and improve throughout the season our early morning training and morning fitness sessions clearly paid off We nearly missed out on the winter tournament in Nelson for a third year in a row due to extensive flooding however support from the school and parents enabled us to attend It was a fantastic experience for the team who put up a great effort Pool play got off to a strong start with a win against Avondale College 2 1 followed up with close losses to Avonside College 2 3 Mirian College 1 2 Nayland College 0 1 and Taieri College 2 3 We finished the tournament in 9th place with two good wins against Waimea 7 0 and Avondale 7 2 a great way to end the week and season Despite not winning the league we were excited and highly motivated to have a successful tournament week in Whangarei The team was on fire at the start of the Rex Dawkins Tournament winning all its group stage games A late winner in the quarter final sent the boys to an important semi final against Rangitoto College and although we did everything we could to get to the final it wasn t to be Nevertheless a win in the 3rd 4th playoff made the week worthwhile With 10 Yr 13s leaving us at the end of the year our aim at the start of the year was to win the league and put Howick College on the footballing map Led by Coach Horace James and manager Nigel Smith the boys were bound to have another brilliant season We started shakily against Green Bay High School losing the first of only 2 games lost all season We were determined to improve and trained hard getting up early 3 mornings a week The experienced Yr 13 core of Milan Kennedy Tai Smith Henry Lee and Jaden Naidoo led the boys to early success with victories over Pakuranga and Long Bay Colleges and Albany Senior High School After a couple of wins on the bounce Horace had the boys fizzing to play a top of the table clash against Takapuna Grammar on our home turf A dominant performance took us to the top of the table after 6 games Inspiring a Community of Passionate Learners HOCKEY dampening their spirits However wins against Glendowie College Albany and Long Bay improved morale heading into the last 4 games Horace had the team working hard in training developing them both as football players and as people something very important to the team and the school Before the final game the equation was set to win the league Howick needed to win by 7 goals and Takapuna needed to win against our rival Northcote An outstanding show of character was needed and the team delivered winning 9 2 at home to Glendowie Unfortunately Northcote snatched a late draw against Takapuna to win the league Although it wasn t the outcome we had planned 2nd in the league and 3rd at tournament week is still a great result for the school securing a playoff next year for promotion Special thanks to everyone who supported us week in week out and to the school who did everything they could to help the team succeed Particular thanks to the Four Winds Foundation

tournament away from home as we headed to Palmerston North for a week of great hockey We focused on playing good team hockey and although the results didn t go our way the entire week we held our heads high and played the best hockey we had played all year T his year Mr Uy Mr Jack and Mr Stanghan introduced a new sport to Howick College inline hockey Inline hockey takes the gameplay of ice hockey but has less padding uses inline skates and is played on a smooth concrete surface instead of ice making it an easier game to play all year round As a new sport at school numbers were small but we did end up with a few regulars most of whom were taking up the sport for the first time ever As this is the first year we have run it as a learn to play so that the students who were taking up the sport for the first time could learn the intricacies of combining skating with having to handle the puck and trying to score and 118 A big thank you to the school for supporting us our manager Mrs MacCallum for her commitment to the team and helping us get to the tournament and our coaches Miss Richards and Pete Reilly for supporting us throughout the season defend all at the same time The goal

some questionable refereeing and one from the Junior Men s U20 U66kg category His achievement was made all the more impressive as he managed to do this while recovering from a shoulder injury and balancing the last few weeks of training with rowing Unfortunately our annual road trip to the secondary schools competition didn t happen this year as the event was cancelled Even without the schools

Slater Yr 11 Sebastian Ngai Yr 10 and Shane Waru Yr 10 all earned their yellow belts The original plan was to have done this at the end of 2021 as most of those members had started judo at the end of
