Selmi HEADMASTER'S COMMENT This year has seen the firm establishment of further facilities and programmes in our School. Th e Audio/Visual room, with video, T.V. receiver, movie and sl ide projector and headphones, has been in great demand, especially during th e Olympic Games! Our thanks go to the Parents Association for its generosity in equipping this room. Our Art and Mu sic Specialist rooms have proved to be very worth while facilities and have al lowed programmes to expand in a most satisfying manner. Special Edu cation programmes have been most successful and Drama, French and Ph ys ical Edu cation have flourished under specialists' care. Alongside these developments the academic progress of our pupils has continued at its traditional high level. It is a great source of satisfaction to see past pupils making a real contribution to their community. To both Staff and Students may I extend my continuing gratitude for all you do to make our school flourish. Well done! 2 VALETE .--­, At the end of this academic year Mrs Julanne Kirby retires from the teaching profession and leaves St Mark's School. Mrs Kirby joined the staff in 1971 when her husband, the late Reverend Ronald Kirby was appointed Headmaster. Since then hundreds of Junior class children have passed through her hands. These chi ldren and their parents have good reason to be ve ry grateful to Mrs Kirby for her dedicated teaching and concern for the students under her care. Her desire has always been to give her pupils a sound basic education and to lead them to striving for the highest standards possible. With Mrs Kirby's departure from the School, a long and distinguished chapter in its history wi ll close. It wou ld be hard to imagine an era of greater growth in a school than that achieved under Mr & Mrs Kirby's direction from 1971-82. Mrs Allen, Mrs Kirby's daughter also retires at the end of the year. Staff, pupils and parents thank them both for al l they have done for the School and wish them every happiness in the next phase of their lives. Neil W.

Fans ain’t seen nothin’ yet. On Friday, Urban hits the screen as Judge Dredd in "Dredd 3D," where he’ll take on Mega City’s drug lords, serving as judge, jury and … executioner. Talk to the guy in person and there’s a sense he’s a pussycat. A big clue to this side of his personality… what he packs in his carry-on. What’s something you never fail to pack in your suitcase?

  • Trekonderoga 2018
    Special Guests Karl Urban Original Star Trek series fan and New Zealand-born actor Karl Urban actively pursued and won the role of Dr. Leonard McCoy on 2009’s motion picture named, appropriately enough, Star Trek. In his portrayal, Karl evoked many of the subtle mannerisms and vocalisms made famous by one DeForest Kelley of an earlier era – one could consider his performance as an ultimate fan tribute. Karl was interested in acting from a very early age, debuting at age 8 in the New Zealand television series Pioneer Woman. Internationally he appeared in both Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and its spin-off Xena: Warrior Princess, playing recurring roles in both American/New Zealand series. He eventually started working on Hollywood productions and in relatively no time was in big productions such as The Lord of the Rings, The Bourne Supremacy, The Chronicles of Riddick, and Doom. Hollywood press has speculated that he could have landed the role of “James Bond” had not previous film commitments gotten in the way (the role went to Daniel Craig). Other films he appeared in include Red, Dredd, The Loft, Pete’s Dragon, while Karl most recently appeared as “Skurge” in 2016’s Thor: Ragnarok. Karl is active on the convention circuit and makes his first bombshell appearance at this year’s edition of Trekonderoga! Be sure not to miss your opportunity to meet Karl onboard the original Enterprise – where else but in Sickbay, naturally – in a time-defying trip back to the original series sets with today’s Dr. McCoy! Appears Saturday & Sunday only Gates McFadden Not many Enterprise-D characters could call their Captain by his first name, but Doctor Beverly Crusher, memorably played by Gates McFadden, certainly could – and did.

  • LAMORINDA WEEKLY | "Star Trek Into Darkness"
    LAMORINDA WEEKLY | "Star Trek Into Darkness" Published May 22nd, 2013 "Star Trek Into Darkness" By Derek Zemrak One of the most famous quotes in the Star Trek legacy is "Where no man has gone before!" This film is a huge undertaking for any director of the Star Trek franchise that has created more than 700 television shows and 12 movies. At first glance into the galaxy, I would say man has gone everywhere, but surprisingly director J.J. Abrams, who directed the first reboot in 2009, delivers a detailed storyline and a movie that is exhilarating to watch on the big screen. Moviegoers will be on the edge of their seats as they experience a brilliantly shot film, while they cheer on the Enterprise crew to succeed in battle against the evil villain of mass destruction. Once again Chris Pine ("Bottle Shock," "Rise of the Guardians") returns as Captain Kirk and Zachary Quinto ("Margin Call," "Heroes," "American Horror Story") portrays Spock. As with the cult popular television series, it is the ensemble cast that makes it all work, with Zoe Saldana ("Avatar") as Uhura, Karl Urban ("The Lord of the Rings") as Bones, Simon Pegg ("Ice Age") as Scotty, and John Cho From left: Zachary Quinto is Spock and Chris Pine is ("Harold & Kumar") as Sulu. It should be noted that not one Kirk in "Star Trek Into Darkness" from Paramount of these cast members is a scene hog like William Shatner Pictures and Skydance Productions.

  • 'Star Trek Beyond' Brings Fun Back to the Blockbuster Season
    http://www.ocolly.com/entertainment_desk/star-trek-beyond-brings-fun-back-to-the-blockbuster- season/article_e7614be0-5381-11e6-8504-5bc0a7c604cb.html 'Star Trek Beyond' brings fun back to the blockbuster season By Brandon Schmitz, Entertainment Reporter, @SchmitzReviews Jul 26, 2016 Paramount Pictures I had almost given up hope. Although "Civil War" and "X-Men: Apocalypse" kicked o this summer movie season with a bang, virtually every big-budget epic since has disappointed. From "Warcraft" to "Independence Day: Resurgence" to "Ghostbusters," this recent string of blockbusters has been among the most middling in recent memory. Thankfully, "Star Trek Beyond" is a healthy reminder of just how much fun the movies can be. Roughly two and a half years into the USS Enterprise's ve-year space voyage, Captain James Kirk (Chris Pine) nds himself questioning the nature of his mission. Seeking out new life forms and new civilizations is ne and all, but with no clear end goal in sight, it's natural for Kirk to feel as if he's simply going through the motions. Of course, a surprise attack from an unknown enemy will add some excitement to anyone's life. With the Enterprise crew not only marooned on a planet deep within uncharted space, but also separated from one another, Kirk nds a renewed sense of purpose. Meanwhile, a ruthless alien commander named Krall (Idris Elba) searches for an ancient device that will allow him to unleash who-knows-what. Following the template that J.J. Abrams established with the previous two "Trek" icks, "Fast and Furious" director Justin Lin takes the helm this time around.

The Lord of the Films is a unique guide to those films, and author J.W.

In addition to Jackson’s famous TOLKIEN’S MIDDLE EARTH ON THE BIG SCREEN trilogy, other Tolkien-based films (such as the animated adaptations) are covered. As an added bonus, Braun reveals details about the prequel films currently in production and due out in theaters in 2011 and 2012.
