SPOTSWOOD COLLEGE SPOTSWOOD Spotswood College ‘18 SCHOOL MAGAZINE 2018 MAGAZINE SCHOOL Magazine Editorial 2018 The 2018 edition of the “Spotswood College School Magazine” has finally been put together and we have made it to the printers. Our mission every year is to collect as many bits and pieces we can – that represents our Kura. We have had a momentous year, with Mr Bowden leaving at the end of Term 2 and Whaea Nicola starting at the beginning of Term 4 – what an historic occasion for us all!!! I would like to thank Hilary Takarangi who has worked tirelessly and enthusiastically, with me to publish this year’s magazine on time and budget in 2018. Thank you also to Tony Peters and the Spotswood College Art department for many of the photographs that appear in this year’s magazine. A very big thank you to Tracey Boschat, our amazing Office lady, who complies and for- mats our monthly school newsletter. Thank you, Tracey, for the colourful school photo collages that you produce, based on the wide range of events, that are held within our school. We hope you sit back, relax and enjoy reading this issue of our School Magazine. - John O’Keefe and Hilary Takarangi 2018 Spotswood College Magazine Editors/Co-ordinators Front cover Back cover Nadia Warburton | Year 13 Star Smith | Year 11 inside SPOTSWOOD COLLEGE SCHOOL MAGAZINE | 2018 OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY OUR ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS p. 02 p. 23 OUR CULTURAL EXPERIENCES OUR SPORTING SUCCESSES p. 52 p. 64 LEAVERS p. 84 SPOTSWOOD COLLEGE SCHOOL MAGAZINE 2018 1 1 OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY 2 SPOTSWOOD COLLEGE SCHOOL MAGAZINE 2018 STAFF & BOARD OF TRUSTEES BOARD OF TRUSTEES: COUNSELLING & GUIDANCE: Chairperson: Mr M Cole Mrs K Fortune, PhD Ed, M Ed Secretary: Mrs A Bovett, MA Mrs C Conaglen DEANS - PASTORAL CARE: Ms D Gallagher Year 9: Mr D Scott Mr C Lapworth (Staff Representative) Year 10: Mr D Scott Mrs M Penno Year 11: Mr J O’Keefe Mrs P Pepper Year 12: Ms J Stephens Miss K Pullen (Student Representative) Year 13: Ms J Cooper Mrs A Underwood (Iwi Representative) International: Ms K Benton Mr D Younger DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY: STAFF: Ms M Claassens, HOD, Dip Tchg, B Ed (Massey) Principal: Ms N Ngarewa, BA, Dip Tchg Deputy Principals: Mr D Shaw, BBS, Dip Tchg; Mr M ENGLISH: Knapton, BSc (Hons), PGCE, Med; Mr C Lapworth, BA Mrs P Cast, HOD, BA, Dip Tchg, Dip SLT (PG) (Hons), Dip Tchg, Senior Leadership; Mrs P Cast, HOD, Ms J Cooper, Asst.

I was the fourth child in my family (my eldest sister just missing out) to have had Mrs Hislop as a teacher. As I look back on photos, all of my siblings have had our photograph taken at the end of each year with her. For each student the end of that year would be slightly scary, as we leave her class onto a new journey with a new teacher, knowing that we have to move on, growing up. As I’m sure other families have had a number of their children pass through and many will be pleased they got to experience a ‘room two’ environment with Mrs Hislop. Peta Hislop has taught Oakura School children for a total of 30 years but done so in two stints. “The first was from 1972 until 1977 and then I re- turned in 1986 and have been here until now.” Mrs Hislop and Becca Cowley, continued on page 2 1992 oakura 1 continued from page 1 editorial I ask Peta a very hard question but I know it is on the minds This end-of-year farewell is infused with all of all readers. much emotion as I try to comprehend the devastating loss of the Pike River What are your most memorable moments? miners.

A great example of this has been the investigation by the senior class at St Pius X School in New Plymouth, into the dredging practices and coastal water quality monitoring at Port Taranaki. The school has been involved in an ‘Experiencing Marine Reserves’ programme for several years.

  • And the Schools the Buses Will Travel to in the Morning and Depart from in the Afternoon

    And the Schools the Buses Will Travel to in the Morning and Depart from in the Afternoon

    From Monday 30 January 2017 the Taranaki Regional Council will provide student bus services from Lepperton, Tikorangi Motunui and Urenui. These will replace the privately operated services previously provided by Tranzit Coachlines and Kiwi Tours. The replacement services will operate as public transport services under the Citylink banner. To cover the additional areas bus Routes 21, 22, 23 and 24 from Waitara and Route 31 from Bell Block, will all be operating different routes. This will have an impact on students particularly in Waitara. A new central meeting point at the War Memorial Hall will be established. The four Waitara buses will meet at the hall each morning and students will then be directed to transfer (if required) to buses dedicated to particular schools. In the afternoon the procedure will work in reverse. The following table shows the Route number, the area the bus will pick/drop off students and the schools the buses will travel to in the morning and depart from in the afternoon. Bus Area of service AM travels to: PM picks up from: route AM/PM Route NPGHS, Devon Intermediate, Spotswood College, Waitara 21 Spotswood College Devon Int, NPGHS Route Lepperton, NPBHS, (NPGHS if NPBHS, (NPGHS if required) 22 Motunui required) Route Urenui, Tikorangi, NPGHS, Highlands Intermediate, Highlands Int, NPGHS 23 Waitara Woodleigh School Activity Centre Route FDMC, SHGC, Waitara St John Bosco, SHGC, FDMC 24 St John Bosco Route Lepperton, Airport NPBHS, Highlands Int, Woodleigh NPBHS 31 Drive, Bell Block School Activity Centre Timetables and route descriptions are available on the Councils website www.taranakibus.info Bus news and updates page The short time the Council has had to put these services in place means we have not had time to communicate the changes to students.
