Southland Boys’ High School - - Te Kura Tua Rua o nga Tai-Tama ki Murihiku Non Scholae Sed Vitae Discimus

Dear family friends and Whanau of the school

What an amazing start we have had to 2021, a hectic term full of Academic, Sporting and Cultural experiences and successes for our young men.

Around the school site we have work coming to a completion on the turf and the long-awaited roofing and water tightness projects getting under way. Although these projects may cause a little disruption to some of our routes around the buildings, we are looking forward to the short term disadvantage turning into long term benefits to the working environments that we all use.

We have recently held capping and Excellence assemblies that once again celebrate our young men's successes in our core business, . We really enjoyed the showcase of having so many of our students recognised at this, the highest level of NCEA success. Well done to all of those recognised, and a very clear and achievable aim for so many this year, the challenge to continually improve on the year before you is clearly laid down.

We have welcomed a number of new staff to our growing school and these people have all been able to bring a wealth of experiences and ideas to the working groups of our hub-based classes in Years 9 and 10. These classes have further strengthened the belonging of the boys to a cooperative and team learning environment which they are enjoying the rewards of.

We have a fantastic prefect group this year led very capably by Max Milne with Vere Jukes and Aaron Withy by his side. They are proudly leading the boys and the newly braided house captains into a year of fierce house competition. I know plans are afoot to have the house shield held aloft by someone other than Coldstream!

Please enjoy this newsletter, have a safe and restful Easter break with your loved ones and stay well.

Most recently I was the Teacher in Charge of Geography at Verdon College. I am interested in making the learning in the classroom relevant to the experience of the students and I look forward to working together with the teachers in my department to develop a stimulating curriculum with a local focus. I have a passion for teaching and learning to the extent that my family and I live in an old primary school which we are converting into a house. Yes, it does have a playground!

Katie McCrostie Hi there! I’m thrilled to have joined the Maths Department, and to be teaching Mathematics in Years 9, 10 and 12. I have been teaching for a number of years around Southland in both Primary and Secondary schools, most recently I was a Learning Support Coordinator. I am a Southland girl who was part of the SGHS/SBHS Senior College initiative in the 90’s, which saw Year 13 students learn together across both schools. My family and I live on a small farm just out of , so I’m pretty rapt to be a member of Coldstream House. Go Orange! It’s a real privilege to be able to work with your boys as they learn so I’m looking forward to being involved in this thriving learning community.

Deans Corner Ko tenei te mihi kia koutou, nau mai, haere mai. Greetings all and welcome back. It is great to see so many of our boys returning to school so well presented. We have had some interesting haircuts and facial hair, but we have caught up with most of these boys and had a re set! Uniform - We will continue to challenge our boys on their appearance and making sure they are wearing the correct uniform and wearing it with pride. All non-regulation items will continue to be confiscated and will be available for pick up when you have received notification form the school. Hair (length/style) - All students who attend Southland Boys' must be cleanly shaven. Extreme haircuts will be challenged, and hair must not be any longer than the bottom of the school shirt collar. This rule exists for health and safety reasons. Students will be asked to tie their hair up. Multiple incidents will be deemed as continual disobedience and more formal measures will be taken by the school. Truancy/Lates - Our truancy statistics are looking much better due to the level of contact from whanau and caregivers when students are not at school and the tightening of our systems as a school. We have installed a new bell system which makes it very clear when students are deemed "late" for class. Contact home will be made for repeat offenders. If there is a genuine reason your son is going to be late for school, please ring the office and let them know.

Once again, welcome back to what we hope will be a more normal year for us all. Please contact the school if you have any concerns at any time.

Many thanks Ngā mihi Leon Dunn Kaiwhakahaere - Hauora Senior Master - Pastoral

Guidance Department Kia ora, Talofa lava, Kia orāna, Hello

Farewell to the roller coaster ride of 2020 and welcome back to 2021 and its exciting challenges and changes. Our new school routines will give us certainty, consistency, and solidarity.

To our new entrants and whanau Our Guidance Department can provide support, guidance, advice, and work closely alongside all areas within the school (students, staff, Senior Management) and outside of the school (parents, caregivers, whanau, and outside agencies).

We provide counselling for students, and/or staff and parents. We network with outside agencies and will refer to these to support and guide our families. We often organize mentors to work with and support our students.

Along with counselling support (which is offered by a registered NZAC trained counsellor), we can offer some support for students and families where there is a need around school uniforms, lunches, and a range of other ideas and strategies.

Parents, caregivers, whanau are invited to contact the Guidance Department where they have concerns (no matter how small or worrying) for support and guidance. You can contact the main office, email me at [email protected]; phone me on 03 211 3003 x 869 or 021 203 7213. No problem is ever too small to be shared.

To help your son experience success and enjoyment both at school, home and in the community, I would like to reinforce the value of routines, good sleep patterns, some exercise, become involved in a hobby, be creative, read or join a sports team. Make time for friends, family and living in the present moment.

This is reflected by the idea of Te Whare Tapa Wha which symbolises the whare/house in helping us remember what and who our supports are to maintain a strong sense of wellbeing. It helps us become resilient to the ups and downs of life, the four pillars support us and keep us strong.

Taha Tinana – this refers to our physical wellbeing Taha Whanua – reflects the importance of our family and our social wellbeing Taha Hinengaro – focuses on our mental and emotional wellbeing Taha Wairua – our spiritual wellbeing

THE CHAINS OF HABIT Screens and Wellbeing

“The Chains Of Habit Are Too Light To Be Felt UNTIL They Are Too Heavy To Be Broken” continues to disrupt the world at ever-increasing speeds, and we have quickly become used to and dependent upon many of the amazing advantages it offers.

The “Social Dilemma” is a Netflix documentary which portrays how Big Tech companies have manipulated our minds leading to a dependence on social media. “Increasing numbers of leaders from Big Tech, including social media companies are finally admitting to the deliberate and calculated ‘baked in’ addictive nature of many of their products.”

It is a documentary worth watching with your whanau and tamariki. It follows two children, the impact and manipulation of their online activities/experiences and some of the implications for their wellbeing and perceptions of themselves.

Selfies and the ‘likes’ they receive can give an adrenalin rush and keeps them coming back for more, validating their very essence OR it can ruin their belief in themselves. The documentary shows a young female posting selfies and the hundreds of ‘likes’ (positive comments) she received. On receiving ONE negative comment relating to body image destroyed all the positive comments leaving her focusing ONLY on the one negative comment.

How to begin a constructive conversation so that everyone can develop better habits:  What are you creating/getting good at when using technology?  When you are on your device what (real world) activities are you missing out on?  When using technology, are you achieving more in less time or achieving less in more time?  Can we agree on periods of time during the day/night when we can be device free?

Check to see what your son is engaging in on social media. Have a conversation around what social media platforms he is using. There are many social media platforms that allow us to post anonymous comments which can have a devastating effect on the person receiving them. This app is only one of many.

Yolo allows users to answer questions posted to Snapchat stories anonymously. The messages or replies are completely anonymous. To protect identity, the sender is identified as “Someone” when the message shows up on the Snapchat users. These platforms encourage us to share our deepest secrets, (things we would never share in a face-to-face situation), our feelings, how we view ourselves, family relationships, boy/girl experiences.

Experts worry that social media and text messages have become so integral to teenage life that they are promoting anxiety and lowering self-esteem. A recent survey found that Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram all led to increased feelings of

 Depression  Anxiety  Poor body image and  Loneliness

Frequent use of social media among teenagers and young adults has many fewer positive consequences. These include cyberbullying, negative self-image and body image, social media addiction, and less time spent doing healthy, real-world activities. Teenagers today obsess over social media is because their profiles really dictate how they appear to others. The more likes and/or followers they have, the more popular and envious they become to others. A worrying tendency is that one negative comment diminishes all the ‘likes and followers’ and our teenagers may only focus on the hurt, shame, and sadness.

Anonymous comments are cruel, hurtful and destructive. We appear to be developing a culture that avoids face to face communication and an acceptance that we can say whatever we like on social media, ignoring how the receiver may interpret these comments. It can DESTROY our sense of who we are and our resilience. Let us break this habit.

Once a habit is formed, it takes at least three weeks to break or change that habit.

Habits are unconscious ways of doing things – we do not even think about what we are doing.

Year 7 When I was coming through the front gates of Southland Boys’ High School, my nerves started to act up. I started to head towards the hall where everyone else was going. I entered through the front doors and I took a seat beside a couple of other boys I had never seen before. After a while when most of the kids were in the hall, Miss Mullilgan called out our names to go with our class that we were going to be in the rest of the year and at this point I was pretty anxious, because I didn’t know what was going to happen next. Once we got to our class, we played a few games to learn each other’s names and we also did a writing task. At the end of the day, we had a game of Octopus on the cricket field. As the day ended, I was pretty confident of the challenges that lay before me. Max Laughton 712

I have had a great time at the start of my journey through Southland Boys’ High School. Like Mr Coe and Mr Laurenson said, I can’t wait to talk the path of Boys High, a new way. On the first day I was half nervous and half excited. I was excited because I had already met my teacher and I knew lots of people in my class. I was nervous though because it’s a big school and I thought it would be easy to get lost but after getting used to it, I love it! My favourite part is P.E. It has also been great to play cricket for the school. Alex Gwynne 712

English Studies Shadows Darkness . . . It covers me . . . Surrounds me. Chills me in its iciness. Swallows up the surroundings in its unwelcome coldness. Its inky fingers gripping at my scratched mud-coated ankles. As I tumble through the forest . . . The dreary, gloomy forest. As I run through the forest, from the shadow. . . by Dyllan Quiri and Jacob Wilkinson-Hall Year 9

The Zombie Apocalypse Spawning in a vast meadow, I stared around, I had been in an experiment to see if you could transport a human into a videogame, as far as I could tell, it worked.

I had to survey my spawn point to check if there were any structures nearby, I spotted a village far off into the distance, I think. As I got closer to the object, I realized it was not a village, but a ruined portal. I have spent 7 years playing Minecraft and always wished I could go inside of the game, now my dream has come true.

All the blocks needed to finish the portal were found in the chest: 6 obsidian, a fire charge, a golden chest plate ang leggings and a golden enchanted sword and pickaxe.

I thought twice about entering the portal, I don’t have enough materials to risk my life. I demolished a few trees then started on my house. There were a few sheep in the vicinity of my humble home, but I felt guilty about killing them, besides, there were only two. I started mining away at the ground and managed to get a hold of a bit of iron and stone.

As I came back up to the surface, a beautiful sunset appeared as I worked my way back up to the surface. I soon realized monsters were going to appear, I farmed the sheep and went to bed. When I awoke in the morning, I noticed a few spiders still lingering around. I finished them off and got some string. I had a bow but had no arrows.

I decided today was the day, the day I entered the nether portal. I stepped into the swirling layer of purple and ‘woosh’. As I stepped out of the obsidian door and had a good look around, I appeared in a crimson forest.

A few piglings scouted the area but that was about all that I could see. I threw a bit of gold at them and they gave me an enchanted book in return, with the power of unbreaking enchantments. I walked up to a blaze, which was a fiery-flying demon, and stared into its eyes. It went crazy! It launched dozens of fireballs at me. I ran as fast as I could, but the blaze still followed me.

Finally, it stopped giving chase. As I looked back, I felt a stinging pain. When I turned around, I saw an angry gang of wither skeletons. I had nowhere to hide or run. I was doomed! Suddenly, Egon the iron golem saved me! How? by Kaleb Stewart Year 9

Outdoor Education Lake Manapouri provided an excellent location for sea kayaking this term. With ridges of high pressure, we were graced with silky flat lake conditions and hot clear weather. Both Year 11 and Year 12 classes paddled from Frasers Beach to Hope Arm and return. From the swimming pool in week one to journeying in kayaks the student’s skills and confidence grew rapidly. Setting the scene for whitewater kayaking later in the year. The Year 13 class spent two days learning to off track navigate in the Borland Valley and devising strategies for a physical activity outcome. It was pleasing to see the engagement and high level of skill acquisition in the navigation and sea kayaking modules.

Museum Report ORIGINS OF OUR SCHOOL MUSEUM BUILDING The building which houses our School Museum is believed to have been purpose-built by A. Russell & Co at about the time of the outbreak of World War I in 1914. That means it predates the 1926 School buildings but is about the same age as the Cricket Pavilion (See Bay 1).

Because of a feared shortage of petrol during war time, this shed was built as strongly and permanently as possible specifically as a storage place for fuel. Try to imagine it packed to the roof with wooden boxes like the one you see here. If you look closely you will see the inflammable warning and the famous petrol brand name PLUME. This wooden box would have held two 4 gallon tins of fuel and that is how petrol was delivered to stations in the days before tankers and pumps.

The veteran car you can see in the photo is a 1907-8 De Dion Bouton which was owned by the Russell family until 2005. This was one of the very first taxis in Invercargill and if you look carefully, you can read the words FOR

Softball Report On Sunday 21st February, in brilliantly fine weather, three SBHS team competed in the annual Southland Secondary Schools Softball Tournament. The Year 7 & 8 team, complemented by a couple of girls from SGHS, were coached by Mrs Nikki Boyce and assisted by Mrs Ange McMinn. They played James Hargest in two very closely fought games but it was the red and blue team that won both games 11-8 and 10-9.

In the Senior section, SBHS entered a Blue and a Red team to cater for all the boys who were keen to play. Mrs Rosie De Goldi coached the Blue team whilst old boy Braeden Heslip and Mrs Penney Dunckley coached the Red one. With two other schools to compete against, it was game on. In the battle of the boys, it was the Blue team that prevailed but both SGHS and James Hargest proved to be formidable opponents as well and tested both the SBHS teams. In the end it was the SBHS Blue team who took out the title, even though they had a wee loss! SBHS Blue v SGHS Win 11-7 SBHS Red v Hargest Win 8-7 SBHS Blue v SBHS Red Win 7-4 SBHS Red v SBHS Blue Loss 7-8 SBHS Blue v Hargest Loss 9-17 SBHS Red v SGHS Win 15-12
