It meant so much to them to represent Auckland at the nationals in Wellington and to be able to show the country how amazing South Auckland schools can be. These students often encounter negative stereotypes about South Auckland, and they are very keen to keep proving those wrong. It's therefore an especially big deal that they have the chance to represent our local area and country at an academic event, where they will compete against teams from Australia, Hong Kong, Thailand, South Africa, India, Cambodia and Singapore. We have t-shirts with our school's name, which we had made for the nationals, and we will be wearing them throughout this event with pride. We are hoping to get some local media coverage as well, to further spread the good news of our students' achievements. The below section is going to be filled in about the students on the team, because this is about their achievements - the teachers in charge are just supporting them. Like our local community, our team is made up of students with a diverse variety of cultures, (and interests - several are involved in sports and one in student government) so we represent our school well in that respect. Please give a brief description of what the conference/event is about. This is a chance for seven students from Papatoetoe High School to represent our country at an international problem-solving competition. We are writing this on their behalf - they are Nazihah Buksh, Kate Dinh, Imran Hamid, Akram Khan, Leilani Kwan-Him, Lana Tang and Khushi Rathod. Last weekend, they placed second in the NZ Tournament of Minds (TOM) National Competition. The team that placed first is unable to attend the International Tournament, so we now have the honour of travelling to Hobart, Tasmania to compete in the Internationals against teams from across the Pacific. Our students will be representing New Zealand in the Social Sciences category. This is a huge achievement for our students, who are proud to live in our local area and are honoured to be representing not just Aotearoa but Ōtara- Papatoetoe! Tournament of Minds is a problem-solving programme for multi-aged teams of students who work together to solve a demanding, open-ended challenge and present their solution to a panel of judges. The purpose of Tournament of Minds is to enhance the potential of our youth by developing diverse skills, enterprise, time management, and the discipline to work collaboratively within a challenging and competitive environment. Applicant achievements Activity/achievement How this shows leadership skills or community Date contribution Placing honours at the This is only the second year that our school has 21/09/19 TOM National taken part in this competition, so it was a real Tournament * achievement for our students to do so well. Many of the competitors had been to Nationals, which has a different challenge structure than Regionals, before, but we had not. We saw this as a real achievement for our neighbourhood as well as our school and team. Placing first at the We were very proud that the strongest Auckland 31/08/19 Auckland Regionals team in our age group was from South Auckland! Team member Imran The election ran concurrently to Nationals prep! Our 23/09/19 Hamid is elected team is busy, ambitious and capable student representative on the school's Board of Trustees Team member Leilani Again, these are hardworking students who excel in 24/10/19 Kwan-Him set to be multiple areas recognized with multiple netball awards (she doesn't know yet) Financial information Amount requested: 2,000 Costs that will be Travel cost of the students while in Australia – tournament fees, accommodation, covered: transport and meals.

  • A Word from the Principal Mangere
    Mangere College Term 3 Newsletter 2017 A word from the Principal It was great to see so many whanau at the recent PST’s. We always have very high numbers of families at these events and it is very positive to see all of the conversations happening. Many of our students are well on track to achieve our goal this year of 14+ credits for every student in every course and we are putting in place ways to help those students who are not on track. One of the biggest factors that help students to achieve is the support they receive from home. We really appreciate the effort that you make to support your child and we know it can make a big difference. Here are some things that you can do at home: · Ask your child how they are doing at school · Keep up to date with the number of credits they have and what is coming up · Talk to them after each exam or assessment about how it went · Support them when they have important exams and assessments The KAMAR app is very useful to stay up-to-date with how your child is going at school. If you did not receive a letter about the app at your PST then please contact the school.

  • The Changing Face of Asian Peoples in New Zealand
    New Zealand Population Review, 41:95–118. Copyright © 2015 Population Association of New Zealand The Changing Face of Asian Peoples in New Zealand ELSIE HO * Abstract Richard Bedford has made a major contribution to the understanding of diverse Asian peoples in New Zealand. In particular, his work has demonstrated how changing immigration policies have led to new patterns of ethnic diversity, residential and business concentration, and settlement and employment trajectories, as well as changing family dynamics, mobility patterns and transnational networks (for example, Bedford & Ho, 2008; Bedford, Didham & Ip, 2009; Ho & Bedford, 2006, 2008; Spoonley & Bedford, 2012). This paper builds on this understanding to analyse the changing characteristics of Asian peoples in New Zealand since 1986, the year when New Zealand abolished a traditional source preference in the selection of prospective immigrants in favour of criteria based on individual merits, skills and qualifications. The discussion is organised into six parts to illustrate the multiple dimensions of difference within New Zealand’s growing Asian communities: more diverse Asian ethnic groups, changing age-sex structure, different labour market experiences, growing mobility and transnational connections, complex patterns of mixed ethnicity, and increased concentration in Auckland. The study challenges the popular perception of ‘Asian’ as a single category. he 2013 Census reveals that New Zealand’s population is becoming increasingly diverse. In 1986, 85.1 per cent of New Zealand’s T population were of European ethnic origin, 12.4 per cent Māori, 4.0 per cent Pacific and 1.7 per cent Asian. By 2013, the non-European ethnic groups (Māori, Asian and Pacific) had all increased their proportion of the New Zealand population (to 14.9 per cent, 11.8 per cent, and 7.4 per cent respectively), and a new group had emerged, namely those who identified with ethnicities in the broad Middle Eastern, Latin American and African category (MELAA), accounting for 1.2 per cent of the population.
