You only need to read the school notices, newsletters, sit in on a house assembly, or a staff briefing to gain an insight into the sheer number of activities and events, academic, sporting and cultural and the like that take place at College. Hopefully this publication captures a fair representation of the year that was at Ashcoll over the past 12 months. Of course, none of these activities would be possible but for the people that offer their time. Similarly, this magazine has been a collaborative effort and I would like to acknowledge the assistance of a number of people in the compilation of these pages. Leaders & Staff P2 The first page you are likely to have noticed is the cover and the accolades for this fall to Emily Willis and her stunning interpretation of the school emblem, the Phoenix. Flick to the back cover and the plethora of our wonderful students and you can applaud the efforts of Paige Sheehan. Both students spent a considerable amount of their own time preparing each of the pages and it is much appreciated. Everything else in between these covers can be attributed to an inexhaustive list of people, but one which includes the likes of Sheena Tyrrell, Jenny Crouchley and Anne Sheehan, each of whom showed their administrative prowess and organisational skills. My sincere thanks also go to the large number of staff who have also contributed to Phoenix 2013, including Amanda Grigg and Jemma Tutty for their musings on the comings and goings of staff over the past 12 months. A healthy number of Journalism students Prize Lists & AchIEvers P12 also put their hands up in the compilation of articles and the taking of photos and I would like to thank Amber Barrett, Michaela Broomhall, Matt Coote, Greer Hooper, Nikita Kohunui, Amber O’Rourke, Maria Totolici and George Wilson for their efforts. A particular thanks to Head Girl Finau Fakapalea for her initiative and going the extra mile with her contributions. Yet again, College was fortunate to have terrific student leadership in the student executive (pictured above) and the house captains (pictured below). My thanks go to them for their contributions to this magazine and their stellar efforts at AshColl throughout the year. My final thank you is for Paul Johnson at DPI. Once again, his knowledge, keen eye for design and patience has seen this publication come to fruition. Job done. Happy reading and happy holidays. Arts, Music & Michael Clark Culture P26

This obituary has been adapted from a eulogy given at her funeral. If you looked at the huge number of her work colleagues at Sue’s funeral – over 70 I think - and former work colleagues, present students and former pupils, board members past and present, I think you will get an idea of the enormous respect that Sue gained in her teaching career. One of the reasons she gained that respect was because she modelled it. Sue treated all people the same. She had a huge heart and a huge capacity for empathy and compassion. She was also honest, Jack Blunt at times, never let you get ahead of yourself and would always bring you back to earth with her humour and pointed comments – and usually deserved.
