  • Waiheke High School September 2017
    September Waiheke High School 2017 Term 3 Week 28 Newsletter Kia ora kotou The school has had a busy time with our students being involved with the Aims Games, UNISS Netball and Senior Girls’ Soccer tournament. The Year 13 group have been busy applying for courses for next year which include Business, Business Man- agement, Engineering, Sport and Recreation, Health Sciences, Veterinary Sciences, Environmental Science and Sustainability, Armed Forces (Navy and Army), Event Management and Tourism, Architecture and Physio- therapy. Of a cohort of 54 students, 31 students are intending to go on to do tertiary study next year at Auck- land University, AUT, Victoria, Otago or Canterbury. Ten further students are taking a GAP year and some of these will work in 2018 to afford further education or to save up and travel. Three students are intending to join the Armed Forces (Army and Navy) and a further 5 students are intending to look for apprenticeships in Build- ing & Construction and Primary Industries and the remainder will work full time and one may possibly study overseas. Recently I have spoken to several parents about their concerns about a published article from an Auckland based magazine and how it reflected badly on Waiheke High School. Waiheke High School has a responsive curriculum that fits well with the intended pathways of all students. Last year our results for NCEA were again very good and our participation based overall results for Waiheke High School NCEA 2016 were: Level 1 = 93.5%, Level 2 = 94.5%, Level 3 88.0% and UE = 51.1%.

  • Exploring Great Barrier Island
    Motorhomes Caravans and Destinations - April 2019 Author and Photographer Lisa Jansen Reproduced with permission from Bauer Media - Subject to copyright in its entirety. Exploring Great Barrier Island Lisa Jansen escapes far from the madding crowd in her Ford Transit campervan to Great Barrier Island, where relaxation has never been easier What if I told you there is a place only four and a half hours from Auckland that offers stunning scenery, beautiful white, sandy beaches, countless picturesque walks and hikes, good coffee, great fishing and surfing, and friendly locals, but that never gets overly crowded – even during the busy summer season? Believe it or not, such a place Me enjoying the views over Okiwi exists. It’s called Great Barrier Island and might well be one of New Zealand’s best kept secrets. That’s not to say it’s everyone’s cup of tea. Getting there is a bit of a mission and not cheap, cell phone reception is often patchy, campgrounds only offer cold showers and long- drop toilets, driving faster than 60 kilometres an hour is basically impossible thanks to the narrow and windy roads, and if you’re looking for a movie theatre or shopping complex, you’re out of luck. What might be a little too basic and boring for some is heaven for those of us who love nature and the feeling of getting away from our busy lives. I fell in love with Great Barrier when I first visited back in 2013 for a week, and again in 2016.
