THE 2019 BALL

Walking down the hallway of the Plymouth International with dry ice swirling around our high heels (that we clearly needed a bit more practice wearing), staring down through the tunnel draped in fairy lights framing our beautiful neon sign writing, ‘On Cloud Nine’ I knew we had created something quite special that our wonderful Year 13s were able to experience. The School Ball is something that couldn’t resist being talked about from the first day we arrived as Year 13s and I’m sure the memories created will be reminisced for many years to come. After quite a few messy brainstorms of all the fantastic themes we could choose from, we narrowed it down to something we believe was unique and elegant. With our ‘On Cloud Nine’ theme we were able to bring beautiful, dreamy props together with the feeling of bliss as the “on cloud nine” saying goes. Through many crazy working bees, we transformed the room with white ceiling draping, hanging clouds, a cloud9 giant silvery moon to sit in, nooks full of paper cranes and glittery stars and our favourite feature - the neon sign at the entrance. The evening was so magical being surrounded in the lights and clouds where everyone boogied the night away, flooded the photo booth and gorged on the gelato being served. Awards for the night were Belle of the Ball (Hui-Ling Fong), Beau of the Ball (Lachie White), best dressed couple (Bella Rothwell & date) and cutest couple (Cassie Heather & date). Personally, one of my favourite moments was being able to meet and greet all the beautiful Year 13 girls and their partners at the entrance. You all looked absolutely stunning and it was so heartwarming to see

36 37 cloud9you loving the night! We couldn’t have made the wonderful night possible without our amazing ball committee. The months of planning and preparation you all put into this was so appreciated. It was such a huge commitment that required a lot of perseverance, hard work and passion, painting, fluffing clouds, decorating, ticket designs, prop collecting, building and the mighty setting up and taking down the ball itself. I seriously couldn’t have had the pleasure to work with a more wicked bunch of girls. It was truly something special to witness, with the hard work we had all put in being so worth it. It can’t go without saying the biggest thank you to all the staff and parents who generously gave their time, resources and helping hands to us as well. What a fantastic celebration it was of our time at New Plymouth Girls’ High with our special friends! Ella Wood, Year 13 38 39 AOTEA WAKA HUIA LEADER

44 45 TAINUI Jasmin Carr and HOUSE Lauren Giddy, Year 13

What an awesome year it has been for the green machine. Although overall points may not reflect this, the success within our Tainui Waka Huia has been amazing. Swimming Sports was Tainui’s first challenge as a Waka, a chance to get involved and have some fun down at the pool. Although this was all super fun and exciting, there were nine girls who held the greatest pressure. The pressure of continuing Tainui’s synchronized swimming winning streak. After many early morning practices in the freezing cold school pool and long trips to the aquatic center we managed to create a routine that we could all be extremely proud of. The dedication to this routine from all members of our synchro team was vital and having 9 girls as keen to win as us leaders was exactly what we needed! Because of this, Tainui managed to take the win and continue the winning streak for synchro. Tainui also managed to take out the win in the pool entrance, thanks to our awesome bunch of Year 13s. However, despite winning these two major events, this did not secure us an overall win for the day. We had multiple wins in our event races by our speedy swimmers and large amounts of participation in our non- competitive races which helped us get closer to the top. Bringing home, a second in the house chant and tire tube relay, we managed to finish third overall. Next was Athletics (Track and Field) with a chance for all our runners to show off their secret talents and bring home the gold for Tainui. Athletics was filled with encouragement and support for everyone in our house. We saw many people run their hearts out on the track and give their all into their shotput, discus and javelin throws, others reaching new heights in the high jump and stretching out as far as possible in the long jump. At the end of the day Tainui finished last overall, this was a bit disheartening for us but we knew we could still bring it back for the fun run and house plays. House plays was an experience that pushed both Lauren and I right out of our comfort zones. Having to create a play based on a Cinderella Horror was a challenge and was frustrating at times. We did manage to produce a play for the school to enjoy and again placed third. This year has been a huge rollercoaster for us as leaders, many new initiatives were brought in this year which were so rewarding but challenging at times. We focused strongly on building relationships between all year levels within our waka and did this by running multiple Waka Huia assemblies each term. We also created a Tainui committee with 2 representatives from each year TAINUI level to share and discuss future Waka ideas. Leading Tainui this year has had its ups and downs but an experience we are so grateful for. Not only has it been extremely rewarding but the things we have learnt will stay with us forever. A huge thanks to our 2019 green machine members and especially our Year 13s for everything you added to our Waka Huia, it would not have been possible to achieve what we did without you all. To the future Tainui Waka Huia leaders, all the best and we know 46 you will be great! 47 TOKOMARU HOUSE

Holly Sutherland & Charlie Godwin, Year 13

As Macklemore once wisely sung, “Today we’re feeling like gold,” but as we begun to grow within our Waka we started to understand that it wasn’t just a day where we felt like gold but an entire year! To all of my Toko honey’s out there, I would like to thank you for this amazing roller coaster of a year and although we were faced with many challenges along the way I would like to congratulate you for always having your hearts full of gold and making mine and Charlie job easy peasy lemon squeezy. We kick started this year like any other, feeling on top of the world (both literally and physically) as we were carried into our last swimming sports ever on the top of handmade podium. We knew then how incredible this year was going to be. We soaked up the sun, swum our little hearts out and chanted like there was no tomorrow. Shout out to all of our dedicated girls who were involved in Synchronized swimming this year, those 7 o’clock wake up calls were really worth it. We have never been so proud in our life’s! We then hit the track where we tried our best as we ran, jumped and threw and all we wanted to do was beat red, green and blue. We still can’t believe we didn’t get extra points for our creativity during the mascot sprint off. Waka Huia plays were next on the agenda. We were asked to direct and carry out a play about Cinderella but the twist was that it was Aotearoa edition. So we chucked on the gummies, swandri, grabbed our favourite kiwi treats and got a cheeky silver medal that we will always wear with pride! Still to come this year is our beloved Fun Run where we are aiming to come back on top for a consecutive year and new to NPGHS is Wakahuia singing, where we are pulling out our most angelic voices especially for this event. A massive thank you to all of the Year 13s this year who have trusted and supported us every day. You guys are the real MVP’s and where ever your travels take you next year we wish you the best of luck and hope you treasure TOKOMARU the memories you have made within the best WakaHuia! Finally, one more huge thank you to our biggest support person- Mr Byrne. Without you and your endless amounts of support I don’t think we would have had as much success without you and we forgive you for not quite making it onto the stage for WakaHuia plays! Lots of love.

72 73 GREAT BARRIER REEF The 2019 Great Barrier Reef trip was one to remember! Twenty Level 1 geography students went to Cairns, Australia, for the week of a lifetime learning about the reef, the ecosystems that it supports, and how we can use it more sustainably so that future generations can see the incredible sights that we did. Fitzroy Island could have stepped right off a postcard. There were pristine white sand beaches and palm trees full of cockatoos, and just below the surface of the ocean was the reef. We went for our first snorkel here, and saw three turtles, countless fish, and a stingray. We had the chance to record the type and colour of the coral that we saw to help the GBRMPA to monitor coral bleaching, and learned about the zoning system which regulates the many uses of the reef. WAITOMO TRIP We spent the next two days on a boat and stayed overnight on the water.

We returned home with new knowledge, unseasonal tans, and huge smiles on our faces.
