Newsletter 2 – Term 3 September 2018

Southland Boys’ High School Te Kura Tuarua o ngā Taitama ki Murihiku Non Scholae Sed Vitae Discimus

Another busy term comes to its end, the days are getting longer, and the winter codes and their respective representative seasons are giving way to summer codes.

It is timely to reflect on the huge variety of success that the young men of Southland Boys’ High School have had over the recent weeks.

Many of us have been lucky enough to taste the success of the culinary team who have been busy competing and fundraising this term whilst running the ever popular Tryline Café.

The school’s representation at the Murihiku Polyfest were wonderful and passionate performances that reflect the huge effort and determination of all those involved both on the stage and supporting the performances.

On stage performances have also involved several members of staff and students in the recent ‘Grease, Arena spectacular’ at the ILT Stadium with other notable performances from Unison at the 75th annual Big Sing Out.

The wrap up of the winter sports codes and tournament performances continue to be a strength of our young men with the huge support, which the school is very thankful for, of the teachers and parents who give their time to ensure teams can run. Many notable performances were produced from teams and individuals throughout the season, but a special mention must be made to Corbin Strong who with members of the New Zealand Track Cycling Team produced a gold medal performance at the recent World Junior Track Cycling event in Switzerland.

The newly elected student council has met for the first time, please keep an eye out for further details from them.

Congratulations should also go to Kaea Edwin (Year 12) recently voted into the role of BOT student representative for the 2018/2019 year.

As we look forward to the holiday break our senior students must remain focused on the increasingly small number of days left in this academic year. Whether it is Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 as a target this year ‘now’ is the time to complete the tasks and meet the deadlines, as we all know ‘later’ often never occurs as priorities may change.

Please have a safe and relaxing October holiday.

Term 2 School Holiday Junior Cooking Programme During the holidays Scott Buchanan and our senior culinary team held a Junior cooking programme for school students between the ages of 8-13 years. The programme was over three days and each day there was approximately 25 budding young chefs taking part. They prepared and cooked two savoury items and one treat item. Some of their menus included; Chicken Stir Fry, Mini Quiches, Macaroni Cheese, Caramel Popcorn, Fruit Kebabs, Spaghetti Bolognaise and much more. They also learned essential kitchen skills and work habits such as cleaning and tidying as they work, food hygiene, how to read recipes and measure correctly. If they had not eaten their food before the end of the day, they took it home for their parents to sample. This is the first time SBHS has held a Junior Cooking Programme during the school holidays and the feedback from the children and parents was very positive. All profits raised from the cooking school went towards the boys in our SBHS Culinary Team who competed at the National Hospitality Championships in Auckland on 11 August 2018.

Culinary Team Our culinary team flew to Auckland to compete in the National Hospitality Championships.

The results were:

Brock Rogan Silver = Scones with Balsamic Strawberry Jam Silver = Spinach and Feta Quiche Brayden Thomas Bronze = Pumpkin and Parmesan Quiche Kapila Tohiariki Silver = Iced Carrot Cake Jimmy-Lee Wilson Bronze = Chocolate Coconut Iced Cake Jamie Bray Bronze = Smoked Chicken and Brie Quiche Kapila Tohiariki and Brayden Thomas Bronze = Beef and Lamb Mystery Box – Secondary School Teams Event.

Congratulations to the boys and thank you to all that have supported them.

Invercargill Middle School Breakfast

Mr Scott Buchanan, Kapilia Tohiariki and Brayden Thomas catered for the Invercargill Middle School breakfast. Brayden is an ex pupil of Middle School.

Southland Secondary School Debating Championships 17-19 August 2018 The Championships were held at Southland Girls’ High School, on Friday 19 August. The competition at Junior level was to find the winners who would then go forward to compete on Sunday. Southland Boys’ High School had two teams entered in the Junior Section. They were:

Year 10 Year 9 Sam White Daniel Titter Joel Morgan Noah Stratford Dylan Lee Sebastian Carston

Our Year 10 group went forward to compete on Sunday afternoon. They won two of their debates and came third overall in the Year 10 Section.

Our one Senior team consisted of: Isaac Myron Kapila Tohiariki Will Scully

Our Senior team won two of their three debates and Will Scully was awarded the Best Speaker of the Senior Section. The three teams were well-rehearsed and professional in appearance, behaviour and speaking skills. They faced stiff competition from the opposing teams but remained composed at all times. This was the result of many hours of practice, not only in debating techniques, but in presentation and improving vocal skills. Congratulations and well-done to our students.

Sports Archery When I decided to shoot for the first time, it was recommended to me by the school Guidance Councillor, and a year after here I am making a name for myself in New Zealand Archery. I recently went to the South Island Indoor Competition where I came 5th and my personal best score out of 180 is 174. I have fallen in love with the sport and a lot of it goes to my coach Ardy Ayto. He gave me a chance and never lost faith in me; he’s always had gear for me and the other students and all up is an amazing person. I feel obliged to make him and my community proud as I take on the country with my team that includes George Naylor, Tommy Dobbins and myself. By Sam White

His coach Sid Cumming commented that Corbin was a real talent and trains exceptionally hard. Well done!! Corbin was greeted at the Invercargill Airport by his fellow students from Southland Boys’ High School. To honour his cycling achievements the students, friends and family performed haka. Simon Coe, Southland Boys’ High Rector was there to meet the World Champion cyclist and said “Boys’ High were extremely proud of Corbin. It’s stunning, great for the region. He’s an ambassador for New Zealand, not just for our school.”

Corbin has been away from home for nearly three months and was pleased to get back home. In the coming months Corbin’s plans include cycling in Nelson, Junior Tour of Southland and the Tour of Southland.

Smallbore Target Shooting For the first time in 8 years, we were beaten in the final. The shoulder-to-shoulder match took place at the Invercargill Range between 7 and 9pm on Monday 20th of August.

Placings 1st Menzies College 2nd Southland Boys' High School 3rd Central Southland

Menzies College beat us into second place by 25 points (a significant margin) with some excellent shooting that surpassed many of our Team's personal bests. Their young and talented team will likely dominate the local competition for the next few years. In addition Flynn Longman (Team Captain) and Devin Watts achieved 2nd and 3rd placings respectively in the Regional Qualifier Top Scores in the qualifier rounds. Other news on the night was that recent old boy and former Team Captain and team member Jordan Erskine has been named in the New Zealand Junior shooting team for 2018. – By Ian Welsh

Softball U17 Southern Pride 2018 By Cameron Wallace

During the last week of Term 2, 14 boys from around the South Island travelled to Brisbane, Australia to complete in the U19 International Friendship Softball Series. Of the 14 boys selected, 8 were from Southland - 6 of them from Southland Boys'. The boys were Josh Richardson, Lachlan Springford, Ben Symon, Bray Dallas-Ormsby, Kiahn Johnson and me. Our first game was against Australia Green. We went down 11-0, but it was good to play together for the first time. Our second game that day was against New Zealand U17 Emerging Sox. We lost 5-2, but it was a good battle and a big improvement compared to our first game. Day 2 we were looking for a win. The first game we played was against Australia Gold, but we lost 9-1.

Our second game was against Queensland. We were nearing our first victory until a change of pitcher followed by multiple errors let Queensland win 10-4. Personally, I believe Day 3 was our best performance day. First up was U19 United South Island. We were in the game for most of it until USI put on their first- string pitcher and catcher. We went down 13-6.

The last game of the round robin for us was facing Southside Stingers and we wanted a win. After a tough game and a player injury, we came out tied 8-8, leaving us 6 th out of 7 th on the table. Day 4 play offs was rained off, which meant unfortunately only the top four teams played on Day 5.

The tournament was a great learning experience for most of us as we hadn't played at such a level or against International teams before. While in Australia we were also lucky enough to go to Movie World and Australia Zoo. A big thank you also to the Mainland Softball management team, and Southland Softball Association.

In late Term Three Braeden Heslip left New Zealand bound for a 22-day tour of Canada as part of the ISA New Zealand Development Boys’ softball team. Throughout Braeden’s time over in Canada, he played about 26 games in three Canadian States, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta. During his time, Braeden was constantly being put through his paces, with playing a minimum of 2 games back to back each day, with very little down time to see the sights of a country on the other side of the world. However, when given the opportunity to represent his country for a second time in Canada he made the most of the opportunity and gave it his all and enjoyed experiencing other cultures. “I learned a lot over there and think it’s an amazing experience to go overseas playing the sport you love and experience different cultures”. Braeden plans to continue to work hard with his softball and possibly go back over to Canada next year to play for the Pimicikamak Thunder U19 team for a couple of months.

Triathlon World Champs Jaxon Taylor (16) has qualified for the Triathlon World Champs in the U20 age group in which he will be racing on the Gold Coast in September 2018. Jaxon has competed in a variety of races throughout New Zealand in the lead up to this race, qualifying last November. Only 16, he has raced across older age groups for most of the year which will help prepare him for the World Champs. He was 1st place in the Southland U19 Tri Champs, 1st in the South Island Champs, and finished 5th in his first year of competing in the U19 age group at the New Zealand Secondary School Champs in Nelson earlier this year. Jaxon competed in the Junior (U20) Oceania Champs in March this year and unfortunately didn't have his best race but came away with 13th place. Jaxon has worked hard over the winter months in preparation for the World Champs, training up to 18 hours/week with a combination of swimming, biking, running and strength and conditioning training. He was privileged enough to be selected as part of the Academy Southland Programme where he has been offered invaluable support around such things as nutrition, key mental skills and preparation, training/academic/life balance, strength and conditioning, and goal setting. –

Update: Jaxon achieved 6th place overall in the Triathlon World Champs – Awesome achievement Jaxon!

The top team will fly to Brisbane to play games against Tonga and Australia. The New Zealand Barbarians team will head to Wellington, where it will take on New Zealand Maori under-19 and Fiji.
