Headmaster’s MessageThis term saw our annual EOTC week take place. Rather than being a series of discrete activities this is an important part of our curriculum aimed at developing leadership and citizenship skills, self-confidence and a resilience amongst our students.

A leading proponent of such experiential activities was educationalist Kurt Hahn who said “I regard it as the foremost task of education to ensure the survival of these qualities: an enterprising curiosity, an undefeatable spirit, tenacity in pursuit, readiness for sensible self denial, and above all, compassion.”

Born in Berlin to Jewish parents, Hahn studied in Oxford, Berlin, Heidelberg, Freiburg and Göttingen. From 1920 to 1933 Hahn was the first Headmaster of Schule Schloss Salem, a private boarding school in Germany. Hahn was raised as a Jew and served as the Salem School’s Headmaster during Hitler’s rise to power. Hahn began his fierce criticism of the Nazi regime after a young communist was killed in the presence of his mother by

Hitler’s storm troopers. When he spoke out against the storm troopers, who had received no punishment, Hahn spoke against Hitler publicly. He asked the students, faculty, and alumni of the Salem school to choose between Salem and Hitler. As a result he was imprisoned for five days (from 11 to 16 March 1933). After an appeal by British Prime Minister, Ramsay MacDonald, Hahn was released and in July 1933 he was forced to leave Germany and moved to Britain.

Hahn settled in Scotland, where he founded Gordonstoun on similar principles to the school

“I REGARD IT AS THE FOREMOST TASK OF EDUCATION

TO INSURE THE SURVIVAL OF THESE qUALITIES: AN

ENTERPRISING CURIOSITy, AN UNDEFEATABLE SPIRIT,

TENACITy IN PURSUIT, READINESS FOR SENSIBLE SELF

DENIAL, AND ABOVE ALL, COMPASSION.”

in Salem. Later, Hahn converted to Christianity and preached in the Church of Scotland. He also started an international organisation of schools, now called the Round Square. Hahn was involved in the foundation of the Outward Bound Organisation, Atlantic College in Wales and the wider United

World College movement, and the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Hahn’s pedagogy has also been adopted by the International Baccalaureate Organisation.

Hahn’s educational philosophy was based on respect for

adolescents, whom he believed to possess an innate decency and moral sense, but who were, he believed, corrupted by society as they aged. He believed that education could prevent this corruption, if students were given opportunities for personal leadership and to see the results of their own actions. This is one reason for the focus on outdoor adventure in his philosophy.

Hahn’s Ten Expeditionary Learning Principles:

1. The primacy of self- discovery 2. Having of wonderful ideas

Our Head BoyIt is amazing to consider all the incredible successes that we as a whole College have achieved already in 2013; and we are only one Term into the school year!

In the new position of Head of College, I am fortunate enough to be able to get around all 3 schools and see all the fantastic projects and triumphs of the boys. And what a number of successes there have been!

What astounds me the most is the wide range of fields from which these successes have come; from tennis to rowing, our actors in Annie, to our Relay for Life Team – you name it, we have done exceedingly well in it. Sports, Culture and Service are all thriving at the College, as we continue to show our ability in all manner of extra-curricular activities. It is a fantastic feeling to see both individuals and teams alike getting out there and donning black and red, representing Scots with pride. With such a successful start to the year I have high hopes for the upcoming winter terms.

So as we head on to Term 2, it is my challenge to every boy to step up and try something new. Give a sport a go or get involved

in a cultural group; who knows you might discover a new talent.

‘Never be afraid to try something new, because life gets boring when you stay within the limits of what you already know.’

Make the most of the rest of the year; it’ll be over before you know it!

This is my time, this is your time, this is our time.

From the Board

Recent changes to the Board of Governors have seen Ross Davies complete a four year term as one of the Presbyterian representatives.

The other most recent representative, Neil Johnston, left the Board at the end of 2012 so the Governance Committee has been working with the Wellington Presbytery to appoint two new representatives.

The Board now welcomes Barrie Keenan and Ryhan Prasad to those positions. Barrie is an ordained minister and has extensive experience in organisational and management teams and has served on a wide variety of organisations. Ryhan is the current Minister at the Khandallah Presbyterian Church and has worked for a number of years as a youth worker as well as in a variety of secular jobs.

Judith Gray has stood down from the office of Deputy Chair but remains on the Board and chairs the Risk and Compliance Committee. Quentin Lowcay has been voted in as Deputy Chair. Grant Dennis remains as Chairman. Alistair Hutchens is the chair of the Governance Committee, Avril Hillind chairs the Finance Committee, Philip Poppe is chair of Campus Development and Helen Mexted chairs the Business and Development Committee. Gary Beecroft serves as the Parents Association representative. Richard Findlay is a member of several of the Board Committees.

Coming up on the calendar is the AGM of the Scots College Society and the annual Board Strategy Day.

Chaplain’s Chat

Over the past few weeks it has been great to see that Scots lives up to its Special Character. There have been opportunities for boys to give to the community. The most visible of these acts of service were the group of Year 13s who participated in “Shave for a Cure” raising $2,898.30 for cancer research, followed by the BROMAD muftiday raising funds for KidsCan, a charity we first supported last year in response to Campbell Live’s Lunch Box Day.

But there have been those we haven’t seen. Houses are planning and supporting events for a number of charities and House service projects have become a regular event in the Middle and Senior Schools.

The other major event on the radar is the 40 Hour Famine. Although this isn’t until next term the team of Jack Laing Aiken, Emmanuel Nagoor, Tom

There always seems to be something on the go here at Scots, and that something is always for the betterment of others.

Royal, Amarind Eng, Christian Lee, Drew Meiklejohn and Muchengeti Matinde attended the World Vision leadership day in preparation for planning this event.

It is great to see that we are not only offering opportunities for our students, but they are creating opportunities for others. As in Genesis 12:2b “I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing”

OUR ACHIEVEMENTS

BROMADMarch 11 – 15 was Scots College’s BROMAD – a week during which we celebrated the visual and performing arts. All sorts of exciting things go on each day in our phenomenal CPAC facility and this week highlighted this creative energy.

BROMAD began with the evocative performance poetry of significant New Zealand writer, Apirana Taylor, a writer many of the boys have studied in NCEA English. Much of his subject matter is a world away from life at Scots College so this was a real eye opener for the boys.

Tuesday lunch time was a laugh a minute with professional comedians providing the entertainment to a packed assembly hall. An after school workshop resulted in Year 13 boys, Sam Hildreth and Karlos Bogoievski being selected to participate in the NZ Comedy Trust mentoring programme.

NZ Book Award winning novelist, Kate de Goldi spoke at a Wednesday breakfast

CULTURAL

event supported by local cafe Gipsy Kitchen. She then shared techniques and tips for generating ideas with budding Year 7-9 writers. Mr Nicholson provided an opportunity to participate in a Jackson Pollock style ‘happening’ resulting in a stunning action painting triptych which will hang in pride of place in Mr Allen’s office.

The school was a veritable feast of music and art during Thursday’s lunch break. The Pipe Band, aka the Pied Pipers, wound their way through the school gathering a fan club of young Prep School boys along the way. Pianists, jazz musicians, guitarists and vocalists busked while the Fiji Service trip boys sold sizzling sausages and ice-cream.

Thursday night’s Scots Got Talent was a really memorable night. A large audience was privileged to see 28 great acts. Magicians, stuntmen, dancers, singers, solo musicians and bands aged 8-18 entertained and challenged our 3 industry professional judges – all of whom are tutors in our new Creative and Performing Arts School. In the interlude between the competition and the judges’ announcements the entire Boarding House, including Helen Drake, the Matron, and Director of Boarding, Geoff Hall, outdid any Harlem Shake you’ve ever seen on YouTube. Three of our newest staf f members, Mr de Blois, Mrs Lowe and Dr Lowe, demonstrated their hidden

talents with their very clever send-up, 2.5 Divas. Scots got Talent was a huge success and is set to become an annual event.

Friday’s BROMAD grand finale was Strike Percussion. This phenomenal trio of professional musicians taught 10 workshops to Year 5 – 13 classes and gave a stunning, high energy performance. Our neighbours, Kahurangi School, the newly merged Miramar South and Strathmore Schools, joined us for this event.

BROMAD 2013 was a great week providing a range of cultural events.

We’ll be back in 2014!

BROMAD

During our BROMAD week there was an opportunity for students from Years 7-8 to become involved in a collaborative painting experience.

The concept was based upon the art works of Jackson Pollock but spread over three canvas panels. Students could choose the colours they wanted to apply.

It was surprising how many layers of paint were needed in order for the work to take form and a number of budding artists contributed over a two hour period.

The principal contributors were Ralph Rodriguez, George Fyfe, Saam RashidMardani, Sam Taylor, Kelvin Scholtz, Daniel Leitch, Sam Roff, Jackson Angell, Sam Pay and Felix Verkerk.

Summer Tournament WeekSummer Tournament Week is always a significant week on the Secondary Schools sports calendar. This year Scots College was involved in four different sports: cricket, futsal, rowing and tennis, each of which achieved varying degrees of success.

FUTSAL

The senior futsal competed in the national tournament held at the ASB Stadium in Wellington for the first time. The team played well over the first couple of days but due to the vagaries of tournament draws ended up in the bottom half of post section play. In the end the team finished 11th which was slightly disappointing. However, this is a game new to Scots and it was their first experience of a national tournament where all games are played against quality sides who have considerably more experience.

ROWING

Futsal was not the only sport represented for the first time at a national event. The Scots College senior rowing squad competed at the Maadi Cup at Lake Karapiro. This competition is the largest secondary schools sports event in the country so it was exciting to have the rowing colours of Scots College there. Our rowers are all in their first year of rowing and they were competing against crews who had been together for a number of years. Time in the boat and on the water (something that is very dif ficult for Wellington crews) is critical so for our boys to compete with distinction made a lot of the powerhouse rowing schools sit up and take notice. While the team did not have a podium result they did earn a great deal of respect and that was the main goal for 2013.

Summer Tournament Week

TENNIS

The senior tennis team qualified for the national tournament in Auckland after comfortably dispatching teams from the Wellington region and then easily beating Wanganui Collegiate. This meant that Scots was the Zone representative for the first time – a magnificent achievement in its own right. However, this is a team of quality and the boys were not prepared to just go to nationals to make up the numbers. In the end they gained third place after beating Tauranga Boys’ College in a very tight match. There were plenty of highlights during the tournament and none more so than the team captain Lucas Miller winning his game against Auckland Grammar’s number one player. The team is a young one with three members (Dom Miller, John Vogel and Felix Humphries) returning next year so tennis at Scots would appear to have an exciting future.

CRICKET

The 1st XI cricket team has had an up and down season but that mattered little when it came to the Gillette Cup qualifying tournament. Cricket tournaments are all about individuals stepping up and producing quality performances over an intense period of time. This is exactly how the senior players in the 1st XI performed over this week. Three victories in pool play including the important one against Wellington College and then a ‘backs to the wall’ win in the final against favourites Hutt Valley High School means that Scots College will now represent the Wellington region at the Gillette Cup finals in Christchurch at the end of the year.

CREATIVE AND PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL

CPAS UpdateTerm 1 2013 saw the launch of an exciting development in the Arts at Scots.

The newly completed Creative and Performing Arts Centre (CPAC), with its state of the art technology and facilities, provided the opportunity for Scots to open the doors to the wider public and embark on the journey to establish a Creative and Performing Arts School. The vision for this school is to offer specialised, external courses to children and adults in focused areas of drama, music, dance, visual arts and creative technologies, taught by industry professionals.

Miranda Harcourt was the first to get involved and support this initiative, as she saw the potential for the wider Arts community and was excited about the opportunities the CPAC could host. Miranda has been running professional level teen acting for stage and screen, with a significant number of students embracing the chance to work with Miranda and other industry professionals. These people are brought in as guest tutors from week to week. The students have worked with casting directors, voice and movement coaches, interviewed actors and directors and had “behind the camera” experiences.

Weta Workshop artists Natalie Stevens and Scott Spencer have

been teaching students the art of digital sculpting and 3D modelling igniting the flame for future artists in the film industry. Luke Hanna, dancer and tutor at NZ School of Dance, and dancer Andrew Miller, have been challenging boys from 6-16 years through contemporary dance. These classes have shown boys the physical demands of a dancer, as well as introducing them to the importance of flexibility and core strength, which benefits them in all aspects of life.

Younger drama students have had the opportunity to work with actor, director and writer Nathalie Boltt. They have been exposed to the craft of acting through a course which builds confidence in each participant, developing their natural talents and limitless creativity.

The Creative and Performing Arts School promises to build on the outstanding courses currently on offer, and we are very excited about the people we have lined up to share their skills and knowledge with those clever enough to harness the opportunity.

Annie

MUSICAL

The lights go down and applause erupts while the entire cast of Annie 2013 stands on the Queen Margaret College stage. We grin madly as we take our final bow of the season.

Slowly and reluctantly we file off stage and then break into cheers as we celebrate the completion of our final performance. We reflect on how much effort and time we have put into rehearsals and performances, on the new friends we have made, and the great experiences Annie 2013 has given us. We laughingly shout out lines of songs we have sung so many times before, and then we run over to the piles of baking and dig in.

As we slowly leave in dribs and drabs we smile sadly as we realise that this amazing experience has come to an end. We all resolve to volunteer for the next production, knowing it can only get better.

A big thank you from the Scots boys to Rachel Henry and Tim Jenkin and to the QMC staff and students who made this Annie Junior 2013 happen.

PREP SCHOOL

The value and place of outdoor education is in the PYP Curriculum. In this edition of the QUAD you will read about many of the wonderful experiences our Prep Boys have had as part of their Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC) beginning of the year programme.

Outdoor EducationPRINCIPAL/JOHN WESTERN

At Scots, we place significant value on our students taking part in these programmes. We know that the time and effort given by staf f and students alike has substantial benefits. Our students grow in many ways from these experiences. Sometimes the changes are immediately apparent and at other times they are more subtle. Being a PYP school, we always look for authentic opportunities to link in the PYP attitudes and attributes. In EOTC activities there are strong links to the PYP attributes of risk taking, caring, communicating and being balanced.

Being a risk taker is commonly explored on EOTC outings. Our boys face challenges which help them to know more about themselves and develop resiliency and self-ef ficacy. Below are two examples from EOTC week that I would like to share.

On the first day of our Year 6 camp the boys completed a Man vs. Wild activity that included a number of scenarios. One of these was to build a raft out of tubes, planks and some rope, wear a buoyancy aid and then, as a team of four, ‘paddle’ the

raft from one side of the small bay to the other, keeping out of the shark-infested water. There were many lessons learnt in this one activity alone. Some of these included:

1. Planning and preparation is essential.2. Listen to everyone’s ideas, as you never know who may have the best idea.3. Support each other through challenges.4. Be open-minded.5. Be a risk taker – give something a go that you are not comfortable with.

In one group we had a boy who quietly came up to me and mentioned that he was not a strong swimmer. He said he wanted to complete the challenge but did not have the confidence to accompany his group across the bay on their raft. No level of reassurance or support from me or his team members could change his mind, so we walked around to the jetty and waited for his group to arrive. While standing on the jetty, we discussed that by the end of the week I hoped that he would have the confidence to jump in. I encouraged him to be open-minded and be a risk taker.

I told him I was confident that he would be able to achieve his goal and as a result he would feel a tremendous sense of satisfaction.

I was not able to stay for the full week but the following Monday he was ever so excited to come and see me and with great enthusiasm he told me that he had achieved his goal and jumped from the jetty. His sense of pride and satisfaction was contagious. From this experience, we discussed how he could transfer his learning into other settings, be they physical, social or academic. Taking positive and appropriate risks can have large rewards!

Another significant event occurred as part of our Year 5 camp. As part of the end-of-day evaluation and reflection time, one of the boys wrote, “I learnt that I am a ‘me’ person, not a team person” in his journal. The teacher then discussed this and challenged and supported this boy to focus on developing his team skills and regularly ‘touched in’ on how this was going and gave feedback from her perspective and observations. All aimed at helping him to develop his ability to constructively work in a group.

All students benefit from EOTC activities in their own way. Some are more substantial than others but, nevertheless, significant to each student. While camps are a large portion of our EOTC programme, we have other excursions where learning continues outside the classroom. These activities bring their own rewards and, combined with camps, are some of the most memorable times for a student.

INTRODUCING OUR HEAD BOy

I sat in my seat at prize giving and waited for Mr Western to announce the leaders. As soon as he started speaking all of the Year 5 students sat up, he then announced “Head Boy; Arran Dorfling”. I was so surprised that I didn’t even hear the rest of the leaders. Miss Fairbairn (my class teacher) said she wished she had a camera because my jaw almost dropped to the floor.

It has been a great start to the year with all the outdoor education weeks and everybody knuckling down to work hard in their classrooms. All the boys are enjoying the start of the year and are enjoying learning and trying their hardest in everything they do.

My first challenge this year was to do a reading in front of 900 students and staff at chapel. It was really scary with everybody staring at me. I managed to make it through the reading without making a mistake and now I am a lot less nervous when I have to stand up and read in assembly or chapel.

This year I would like to get lots of projects going in the Prep School and maybe some

“THIS yEAR IS GOING TO BE

A GREAT yEAR AND I HOPE EVERy

PREP SCHOOL BOy MAKES THE MOST OF

EVERy OPPORTUNITy.”

fundraisers for local charities to help the wider community.

I am really looking forward to working with the Team Leaders. The Arts Leader has already organised performances in assembly and our Community Leader is working with the Environmental Council with projects under way. I know all the House Leaders are excited about leading their Houses to victory at Athletic Sports too.

This year is going to be a great year and I hope every Prep School boy makes the most of every opportunity.

EOTC Week

WORSER BAy – MONDAy

I enjoyed it when I went into the water and when we made a sandcastle. I also enjoyed it when the big waves came!

FAAIz MIR, 2JI

When we walked to Worser Bay through the tunnel it was fun because the cars were beeping loudly. It was dark like a movie. The sandcastle competition was excellent because we made a humungous volcano and put little sandcastles around it. We also made a little swamp close to the water so the swamp didn’t dry up. My group didn’t win but that was OK. When I played cricket on the sand it was hard to bat and bowl because when you bowl it lands on the sand and doesn’t bounce. Worser Bay was amazing!

On Thursday Queen Margaret’s came to our school. We did lots of dif ferent sports on the front field. My group did hurdles first and we won by one lap. Then we went to ripper rugby where I got the first try! I felt really happy. When we played ripper rugby the rippers sounded like a duck quacking! At the vortex I did a very far and high throw. It went so many metres it ended up in the car park. When I threw the vortex it whistled so that means it’s going fast! Then I went to the ‘stand and jump’ where I jumped half a metre. QUOTS was my favourite EOTC week because I like sport.

We arrived at school all very excited for our Year 5 Camp. Before hopping on the bus we said goodbye to our parents and grandparents and off we went.

After our LONG bus ride we found ourselves waiting in a boat pick-up building. When our boat finally came we were all fighting for the best seats beside our friends. We watched the massive waves coming from our boat’s engine as we travelled out to Kapiti Island. We screamed out to the boat driver “Go faster” and he did, but then stopped. Before we knew it we were at the base of Kapiti Island’s mountain, the mountain I like to call: ‘The Mountain of Pain’.

We were all very cheerful at the beginning of the walk but once halfway up we were all thinking ‘’This is the biggest mistake I’ve ever made’’. When we FINALLY got to the top of “The Mountain of Pain” we all literally flopped onto the floor like big piles of fat and didn’t want to get up.

At the top of the mountain we made an even bigger mistake, can you believe it? The biggest mistake on our entire camp was drinking ALL of our water at the top of the mountain. The downhill walk was tiring and we had no water to hydrate ourselves so we were all extremely thirsty. To top it all of f our boat was roughly 45 minutes late. It was literally like being stranded on an island without water, not much to do except talk. The boat finally arrived, we sprinted onto it, but this time nobody cared about which seat they were on or who they were sitting beside. All we wanted was to get across to the mainland and finally get a sip of water. At the boat pick-up building everyone dashed to the drink fountain and literally took a 5-minute gulp of water. For us boys it was paradise in liquid form.

Once our bus arrived at the boat pick-up building we all jumped on. The ride to camp wasn’t as long as the initial ride. We were looking forward to finding out who was in our cabin but sadly we had to unpack our stuff. Right at that moment we heard our teacher call out “Cabin time!” We all raced outside. Our hearts started to thump hard against our chest, we could hardly sit on our seats. This was the time that would determine a lot of things in camp; if you had your friends in your cabin and who you’d be sleeping next to – because if they snore it will be a total disaster. After an exciting few minutes we all settled down for a delicious dinner, a choice of scrummy mince, chicken or vegetarian pie. Once we had all stuf fed ourselves silly full of pies, we did our dishes, brushed our teeth and got ready for a well-deserved good night’s sleep.

When the morning came round we all woke up – but wait! That is another day, another story and another time.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

“Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one who has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk – and to act.” - Andre Malraux (French Historian, Novelist)

What Makes Success?

As I reflect on the first term in my new role as Principal of the Middle School I can look back on the personal successes that a large number of our boys have achieved. I also look at the range of students who are gaining success and the variety of areas (inside and outside the classroom) where these students are having a positive influence on the school.

I can’t help but think that a significant characteristic that a large number of these successful young men possess is the willingness to take risks, to stick their heads up above the crowd. They are not prepared to just be ‘one of the boys’. Instead they are willing to ‘take the plunge’ and risk possible failure to be successful.

Everyone has heard that successful people are risk takers. But I don’t think that's entirely correct. Certainly, successful people will be adventuresome and try things others may not, but for the most part

they would not consider these great risks. Successful people grasp opportunities. And the dif ference between a risk and an opportunity is knowledge.

I have challenged the Middle School students this year to be adventuresome, to reach out, to try new opportunities, to ‘take the plunge’ but in order to be successful I believe they must plan effectively, practise thoroughly and enjoy the opportunities provided for them at the College.

I think we are often too quick to label successful people we come across as lucky. I believe we can make our own luck by seizing opportunities when they arise. George Clason, author of the popular finance book "The Richest Man in Babylon" writes that, "to attract good luck to oneself it is necessary to take action". He could have just as easily concluded that to attract success to oneself it is necessary to take responsible risks.

When I reflect on the successes our Middle School students have gained this term across the academic, cultural, sporting and community foundations of our College, I can’t help but think that luck has very little to do with their achievements. Planning, reflecting, persistence and responsible risk taking will continue to provide far more success than sheer luck.

In the story I read during my first assembly, “Oh the Places You’ll Go’ by Dr Seuss there was the clear message about life being tough, mistakes being made, sometimes the world is a lonely place, but also that if you are prepared to take risks the rewards and successes will come.

I am committed to challenging the boys, providing resources and creating opportunities so our young men can become positive, successful citizens.

INTRODUCING OUR HEAD BOy

It is a privilege to go to Scots College, and I am honoured to be one of the four head boys in this great college.

I am very excited for the Middle School this year as it is still a new and developing part of the College. It has a lot of potential that is yet to be reached and with the help of our new Middle School Principal, Mr Allen, we look forward to new perspectives and goals.

This year we are focusing on promoting and continuing the culture where every boy uses their strengths to help others to improve, because this is exactly what we need in these challenging stages of development; some friendly competition amongst ourselves to improve ourselves. But the key part of this is that everyone needs to get involved. For the

Middle School to ever reach its potential, every single student in it has to ask himself, how and when will I make a dif ference?

Most schools are good; I want the Middle School to be great.

It’s not often something is called “great” because greatness always has a story behind it that tells an ambitious tale; let’s continue writing ours.

Basketball

Youth Leadership

At the NZ Basketball Academy held over the Easter period two Scots students (one past, one present) were in attendance.

Steve Adams (recently announced NBA draft player) and Harry Wall (Y9 2013) proved that size doesn’t matter! Steve spent some time at the High Performance camp encouraging Harry who is a member (and proudly the shortest member) of the Academy U13 team heading to Las Vegas this year.

Best of luck to both players in their endeavours.

Recently I had the privilege of being selected to attend an Anthony Robbins youth leadership course in Sydney. I spent an action packed four days with fifty other awesome youth leaders, all of them were from Australia, except me.

The course was designed to push us out of our comfort zones and to teach us how to overcome any obstacle or fear. One exercise involved walking on fire; this exercise showed us that we could do anything we put our mind to.

We listened to lots of inspiring leaders and learnt how they had

achieved their success. One of my favourite talks was from the youngest guy to ever race at Bathurst.

Overall it was an amazing experience and I hope to be able to share the skills I have learnt with others especially fellow dyslexic kids.

Thanks so much to Scots College for supporting me in attending this course. (I would be happy to talk to anyone else who is interested in this course in more detail.)

What makes Senior Schooling stand apart?

SENIOR SCHOOL

The defining point of school life has always been “exams” or, in modern parlance, NCEA. In this respect it is relatively straight forward to set the expectations for the senior students, what they do academically will, to a large degree, define their time at Scots. I, however, believe that our young men should leave here with much more than just a set of qualifications. While these will open the door to tertiary study and work opportunities, they will not dif ferentiate them from their peers throughout New Zealand nor, indeed, internationally. This comes from the range of experiences and opportunities Scots provides your sons so that

they can challenge themselves in as many diverse areas as possible: from sport to the arts and culture; from citizenship through service, leadership, peer support, tutoring and the like.

The senior years at Scots are also an opportunity for your boys to grow into young men, in an environment which can tolerate missteps and the awkwardness of the teenage years, yet allow them to be just that, boys. Celia Lashlie noted this in her work:

“… one of the factors important for successful school leaving for boys was merely staying at school until the end of the Year 13. This is because it takes boys

In many ways, the boys will not notice their transition from the middle to senior school, such is the success of the house system in integrating the life of the College.

The new role of Head of Senior School at Scots College was introduced this year and I am really enjoying giving life to the role.

As this is the first year, I feel I am able to try out new ideas and it’s hard to make mistakes when there aren’t any precedents!

2012 was a great year for Scots with various achievements in a wide range of areas and

Nick Miskimmin

longer to achieve a high level of maturity and self-management than girls, and that boys’ schools in particular can ‘hold boys steady while the chaos of adolescence sorts itself.”

We believe that Scots provides that “steady” environment for our boys. Within the senior years we slowly expose the students to increasing choice so that they can make a successful transition beyond school. Year 11 brings greater subject choice albeit with the proviso to keep their options open; Year 12 leads off with a qualification choice – to IB or not; while Year 13 is peppered with post-school decisions: GAP year? Which university? Which

hostel? Which course? Course counselling and careers advice are vitally important features of senior schooling if students are to make effective decisions.

Overarching this is our desire for your sons to experience all that College life has to offer; to expand their resume with new experiences which test their character. Kurt Hahn said it all: “I regard it as the foremost task of education to insure the survival of these qualities: an enterprising curiosity, an undefeatable spirit, tenacity in pursuit, readiness for sensible self-denial, and above all, compassion.”

MATTHEW BERTRAM

PRINCIPAL SENIOR SCHOOL

already 2013 is looking like it will top this. Look at our top Tennis IV coming 3rd at their national tournament exceeding their expectations in our first appearance at this level; our 1st IX Cricket winning the Wellington Gillette cup placing them in the top six schools in New Zealand. This puts big pressure on the winter codes to follow up this great success with the 1st XI hockey in Rankin Cup

which is the top tournament in New Zealand and the 1st XV who start their season in the Hurricanes competition.

But as the boys come up to the term break and have the chance to relax, they can reflect on our progress so far this year and be ready to start off Term 2 with a bang.

OUR 2013

On the afternoon of Sunday 17 Februarythe Year 12 Physical Education class of 2013 set out on a kayaking trip down to the Marlborough Sounds to participate in a 3 day EOTC adventure.

Year 12Kayaking TripMARLBOROUGH SOUNDS

Monday 18th February, was our first day of school in New Zealand. On this day we saw Scots College for the first time, Tom Royal and Xander Wijninckx kindly gave us a tour of the school. We noticed how dif ferent Scots College was from Baudimont School, as people in New Zealand can take their laptop, phone and iPod into class. In France it’s forbidden.

After our tour we went to an English class with Mr de Graaff and then for another with our host brothers. In the afternoon we visited Weta Workshop where we saw a lot of dif ferent things from many movies like Avatar and Lord of the Rings.

On Wednesday we started the day by visiting Carter Observatory. We came back to Scots at midday to participate in the assembly. It was really impressive to see so many people wearing red clothes and some of our friends receive awards.

The second week started with the most exhausting day. After a fabulous weekend we woke up early to take the ferry to Picton at 6.30am. We visited Vineyards, a chocolate factory and in the afternoon we all went to the beach for a swim.

Wednesday we went to Porirua’s Adrenalin forest which was really amazing and everybody enjoyed it. Thursday we all went to Mr and Mrs Yule’s house to do baking. We made 3 dif ferent cakes, which we ate after a walk to Miramar.

This exchange between New Zealand and France has been very nice and interesting for us. We all hope we will see each other again. Thank you to all the families and to Scots College for being so welcoming.

“WE ALL HOPE WE WILL SEE

EACH OTHER AGAIN.”

With 11 boys, Mr Yarrall and a kayaking instructor the group was by no means big. Catching the 6:30pm ferry to Picton, we arrived just before 10:00pm. We then unloaded our kayaks and headed down to the beach where we organised our kayaks and ourselves for the night of kayaking that awaited us. There we listened to our instructions, checked each other’s gear and then prepared mentally for our three hour night kayak. I was excited and nervous with the anticipation of the trip.

By the time we got on the water it was just past 11:00pm, so it made our arrival at the first campsite a late one. We arrived at the campsite around 1:30am, and I must admit setting up a tent in complete darkness, while being extremely tired was hard work!

Over the next two days ahead, we participated in a range of

activities from rope swings to learning complex paddling manoeuvres. It was a fantastic trip that all the boys enjoyed immensely and gained many invaluable skills.

SENIOR SCHOOL

The strong form continued at the Wellington/Hawkes Bay Centre Contest, in Napier. At this event, the band was awarded the following trophies: The Andrew Shaw Cup for Juvenile Band Drumming, the Bob Malcolmson Memorial Cup for the Champion Juvenile Band, the Gray Nasmith Cup for Champion School Band and Wellington Nelson Cup for Runner-up Grade 4 Band. It should be noted that in Grade 4, the school band competes against adult bands. The last time Scots College held some of these trophies was in 2009. The boys were understandably proud of themselves for these achievements.

The final event for the season was the New Zealand and South Pacific Pipe Band Championships in Timaru. It was at this event that the over-all improvement in the band became apparent. Their results in Grade 4 show a clear progress in the band’s skill. In the Juvenile event, the band placed second nationally, coming behind St Andrews Number 1. This is a fantastic ef fort by all involved.

The commitment of the band in general is to be commended. It is their dedication to their work that has seen the band improve in the manner that it has. Further to this, the Old Boys who returned should also be thanked and commended for the dedication and hard work. Ash Stanley Ryan has served as the bass drummer with the band, and provided the steady bedrock upon which the band builds their sound. Ben Tait has served with the band as a piper, and provided solid support to the pipers, helping them to progress in their skill. Ryan Campbell has served with the band as a snare drummer. Recently, Ryan stepped into the role of Drum Sergeant, leading the drum corps in winning The Andrew Shaw Cup for Juvenile Band Drumming. He has carried out his duties to an exemplary level, setting the bar high for future Drum Sergeants. Finally, Alwyn McCallum has served with the band as a piper. He has also served as the Pipe Major with the band. It has been under his leadership that the band has made these advances and won these accolades. He has drawn the band together as a cohesive unit, and has left some very large shoes to be filled.

The band has come together in an incredible way. There is a real sense of camaraderie in the band. It is this sense of family that makes

The 2013 season started strongly for the Pipe Band with the band’s annual camp in Wanganui, culminating in their performance at the Turakina Highland Games. At the Turakina Highland Games, the band was awarded the Noel Cameron Cup for winning the Juvenile event.

it easier for the bandsmen to put in the hard work required for this band to achieve to its potential. From here, we look forward to the growing development of the Pipe Band within the school, and the plans that are steadily gathering momentum to ensure that the band develops in strength over the coming years.

We are very fortunate to have secured as our inaugural Artist in Residence, Wellington based artist Séraphine Pick – this is a coup for the College, given Séraphine’s standing as an acclaimed painter.

Séraphine will work alongside art department staf f in the classroom, and is looking forward to giving talks and demonstration workshops to the boys. She will also work on some table top sized works in the 1st floor CPAC Art Studio and this will give all boys the opportunity to interact freely with her.

At the conclusion of the ARP Séraphine has agreed to hold a combined floor talk to the Scots Community and public followed by an auction of two of her works. More details will follow later in the year.

During the coming years consideration will also be given to practitioners in the disciplines of writing, music, and other forms of mixed media.

We are currently seeking ongoing sponsorship for the ARP, to

ensure its continuity; such a sponsor will assume normal naming rights advantages and we invite anyone seeking more details of such a sponsorship to please contact in the first instance;

Queen Margaret College is celebrating the opening of the Hobson Complex

To mark the centenary a new history of Scots College will be published. The last history of the college was produced to mark the 75th anniversary and the new publication will expand and update the information in “The First Seven Thousand”. Francis Wevers, leading a skilled team, has got this project underway and it is progressing well. It will be a great documentary of our history.

The Centenary Committee has drafted out a series of celebratory events for the 2016 year. It will be re-meeting in the near future to begin the more detailed planning needed for these events to be successful. It is the committee’s aim to have something for all the groups that make up the Scots College family: current students, old boys, parents, friends of Scots and, the staf f who served the College over many years.

We will be centering many of the activities on past and present Scots boys. We will be contacting past Head Boys to again provide leadership for the students of their last year and we are aware that the current year 10 boys will be in their final, and leadership, year at the college in 2016. Their enthusiasm and active roles will be important in making the anniversary a great success, and, I hope, a truly memorable time for them.

As we develop the celebratory programme we may call for extra help to spread the load and make 2016 a great 100th year for Scots. We are also eager to hear of any innovative ideas to help create a truly memorable Centenary.

In support of the Scholarship Fund, the Foundation is holding a Dinner in Wellington on Wednesday 28 August – further details will follow via the College and SCOBA websites, and inter-College communications.

Scholarship for the future

An enjoyable evening drinks function for about 50 people was hosted by the Headmaster in the Don Rowlands Convention Centre at Karapiro on Friday 22 March.

Maadi CupDrinks Function

SCOBA

This event coincided with Scots’ re-entry into College rowing. Old Boys from Auckland, Hamilton, Cambridge and Tauranga joined parents, supporters and boys to celebrate Scots’ presence at the Maadi Cup.

The support was incredible and there was plenty to celebrate as our novice rowing eight had gained a Gold in the February Wellington Championships, a Silver in the March Karapiro competition followed by a Gold in the North Island Secondary Championships.

Old Boy Profiles

Thomas Atkins, who started at Scots College in 2004 was quickly recognised by the school as an exceptional musician and given a music scholarship the following year. At the end of Year 13, he won a Victoria University

Thomas Atkins (2004 – 2008)

scholarship to study Classical Voice at the New Zealand School of Music where, over the next four years, he continued to develop his tenor voice. He is now regarded as one of the most exciting tenor voices to emerge from New Zealand.

Later this year, Tom will be flying to the UK to take up his place at the Guildhall, one of the world’s leading conservatoires. “Thomas thoroughly deserves this success, and I have no doubt that his will be a voice that we will hear from a lot more in years to come,” says Professor Elizabeth Hudson, Director of the NZSM.

I felt very privileged to attend a school of this calibre where high principles and positive goals were encouraged and maintained. I feel that this was a motivator for my later attitudes in life – to do my best in whatever endeavour I was involved.

On leaving school, I took up a cadetship in farming at Brancepath Station, after working as a jackaroo in the Queensland outback, I returned to New Zealand to complete a Diploma in Sheepfarming.

Farming was my career of choice, but a horse accident meant that I was physically unable to continue. We shifted to Palmerston North and I held a clerical position until retirement.

I have been a Rotarian for many years and my most enjoyable community involvement is hearing and helping children with their reading each week at a local school.

Jon Chadwick (1948 –1951)

David Chapman (1946 – 1955)

After hearing about the success of our tennis boys throughout the season, Old Boy David Chapman emailed back in March…

‘The boys have done very well. In my era there was no national secondary school championships but we did have a Wellington one which I won several times. Tennis was my favourite sport although I also played for the 1st XV Rugby team. I won each of the junior, intermediate and senior Tennis championships 3 times which was a record at the time and may still be.

I went on to win provincial and north island championships

before moving to Auckland and playing for the Parnell Tennis Club in the Caro Bowl championship.

I well remember falling out with Stan Painter who banned me from tennis for 3 weeks so I played cricket and much to his disgust I scored a century which meant I received a cricket bat at a special assembly presentation. You can imagine the look on his face. We joked about it when I grew up but deep down I think it still annoyed him.

I am very pleased to know that tennis is alive and well at Scots.’

Chris Faiumu (1981 – 1985)

I loved my time at Scots. I’m the youngest of 5 and am much younger than my siblings. My older brothers were quite tough on me so I was happy to escape and board at Scots. At that age I was all about sport, so having a new home with 5 tennis courts,

gymnasium, swimming pool and huge fields was all good by me.

While at Scots the subjects I excelled most in were Maths and Physics and my favourite teacher was Mr (Alistair) Miller, my 5th and 6th Form English teacher. His teaching style often encouraged long discussions and debates over interesting topics.

Since his time at Scots Chris Faiumu aka MU aka DJ Fitchie, has become a successful producer, DJ and founding member of the band Fat Freddy’s Drop making the beats with mpc, samplers and effects, and producing music recordings.

I live in Perth Western Australia with my wife Sonia and children. I am an Orthopaedic Surgeon predominantly in private practice with just a small public hospital component.

After finishing school I completed my medical training

through Otago University and the Wellington Clinical School, which was the reason to be in Wellington recently for a 25-year re-union.

My career path took me into specialist Orthopaedic surgical training in New Zealand then 2 ½ years away in post fellowship training. I visited The Bernard O’Brien Institute in Melbourne and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota.

I enjoyed my visit to Scots to see the transformation in the school, it looked and had the feel of a modern private school offering the best practice standards for education in New Zealand.

David Gill (1977 – 1981)

I wanted to just give you a brief update on where I am now since returning home. I am still on-going with rehab since returning home from the Auckland spinal rehab unit. I spent three months up there working with lovely

people who have helped me come a long way from where I was in Sydney. I am now in a manual wheel chair and able to do most daily tasks, as my long term goal is to be as independent as I can be and we are getting there.

Also the ultimate goal of getting back up on my feet! I am around here in Wellington and will do my best to get along to school events and sporting fixtures. Do not hesitate to say hello, I love meeting the people that keep me going.

Thank you all for all the support.

Seti Tafua (1997 – 2006)

Welcomeback…

John Turner (1970-1979)

John visited the College in March with his mother Margaret and was amazed by the transformation of the College with the additional buildings and facilities.

‘Having attended the college from 1970 to 1979, I left to undertake formal study at Victoria University attaining a Bachelor of

Commerce and Administration majoring in Accounting.

Upon graduation I bought a retail record shop (Chelsea Records) and turned this around financially, selling to HMV 3 years later. Heading off overseas in 1986, I arrived in Sydney and worked in a finance capacity within the computer industry.

I am married, with an English wife and 3 children. We live on the northern beaches of Sydney where we spend a large amount of time at the beaches kayaking, surfing and swimming. I work as a CFO in an insurance company while also running a photographic business with my wife.

I would like to return to be part of the 100 year anniversary celebrations.’

Thank you!

Auckland based Old Boys Jim Gray (1939 – 1943), Ed Alcock (1955 – 1961), and John Fullford together with Peter Vonlanthen (1953 – 1960) who lives in Te Awamutu, have donated a cheque for $500 to the College, which they won recently at the annual Intercollegiate Old Boys Golf Tournament when their

Scots team came second out of 25 teams. New Plymouth won with 109 points and the Scots Old Boys’ team were on 108 – as Jim said ‘oh for two missed putts!’

We appreciate your generosity – thank you!

Peter Fitzsimmons, former Principal of the Primary School called her a ‘great lady, who lived a full life.’

William (Bill) Smith (1942-1950) had her as his first teacher when he started at Scots and says ‘he owes her a great deal.’

Michael Mackay (1956-1964) remembers her ‘as a permanent fixture of the College and one of the few remaining staf f from his school days.’

Michael Lin (2005-2011), referred to her as the ‘mother of the College.’

Morva Nichol-Wadham-Anderson is the lady in question and her name has been linked with Scots College since 1942. Morva, the daughter of a Presbyterian minister, attended Dunedin Teachers’ Training College and Otago University. Like her father she loved people and especially children. School teaching became her chosen career and Scots College her chosen school.

As Morva Nichol, she won the hearts of her young pupils in standards 3 and 4, (year 5 and 6) progressing to form 1 and 2 (year 7 and 8). Because of the shortage of male staf f during the war years, she was also often asked to teach Secondary Science classes.

An Extraordinary Lady

“A GOODLy HERITAGE, PROUD

TRADITIONS, CHERISHED MEMORIES”

This elegant yet fun loving young woman caught the eye of many senior boys at the time, but won the heart of the Housemaster, Kay Wadham. They married in 1943 and when Kay was appointed Senior Housemaster in 1946 they took up residence in the new Gibb House flat. Morva’s career was on hold for 14 years until her children Mark and Clare were at school. She then went back to teaching at Scots from 1956-1974, responsible for the Primary School and joy of joys in 1969, finally obtained her own classroom.

Morva loved Scots. She loved the small school and staff, the feeling of family and the friendships that she developed. These friendships were to last her lifetime.

Her former pupils agree that she was no ordinary teacher. She reassured her 5 year old new entrants and calmed the sometimes disturbed mothers. Hundreds of small boys from their formative years have lasting memories of her kindness and the good times at school, due to Morva Wadham.

She dedicated her teaching career to Scots. As the wife of the Senior Housemaster for 16 years, she was asked to do all manner of work at short notice.

Morva would arrange flowers for official occasions, help with the making of numerous costumes for the Gilbert and Sullivan productions, apply make-up for the performers, host official guests, meet hundreds of parents, organise the end of year plays for the Infants (Year 1) and the hilarious end of year Boarding House dinners. These dinners were considered the highlight of the year with their ‘five star menu, items that would put the West End revue to shame and speeches that would make a politician turn the other cheek.’

A woman with vision, during her years on the staf f, Morva pushed for and succeeded in getting across her suggestions of building a new staff room, a Primary/Infant, Library Block and an adventure playground.

Morva had the ability to do the right thing when needed, to help a pupil, a parent, a staf f member, a relative or a friend who may have needed comforting in time of stress. Her concern for others endeared her to people.

In recognition of outstanding service loyalty and unstinting support of the College, Morva was made a member of Scots College Inc – The Society.
