Greetings to the Te Awamutu College community. Term 2 is in “full swing” with lots happening (check out the Term Calendar towards the back of this newsletter and on our website). Senior Report Evening – a wonderful turnout on Thursday 31 May. The relationship between students, teachers and home is an important one. We all want the same academic and social outcomes. Teachers have made a commitment to following up from Report Evening with keeping parents/caregivers informed (by phone call or letter or email). Careers Advice We are committed to providing up-to-date and important career advice and counselling to our students. Along with liaison visits from a variety of tertiary providers, we have also organised trips to: University of Waikato Open Day 18 May 2018 Wintec Open Day 25 May 2018 Careers Expo 11 June 2018 Careers Adviser, Christine Dickson, has interviewed every Year 13 student. Deans will be conducting Academic Counselling with every student, in conjunction with Term 3 Course Selection. Christine Dickson and Michelle Devlin (NZQA Principal’s Nominee) will be speaking with all Year 12 and 13 students about NCEA Levels 2 and 3 and requirements to gain entrance to tertiary institutions. I will be visiting every Year 11 English class to give information about NCEA Level 1 – credits required, endorsements for Level 1 Certificate or in individual subjects, fees etc. 2018 Waipa District Council Youth Awards: Thursday 7 June (at Cambridge High School) Another pleasant and enjoyable edition of this event was held which rightfully recognises the wonderful talents and feats of our young people. Well done to our Head Students (Leah Belfield, Adriana Vasinca, Dalton Hargreaves, Kaleb Roberts) who worked well with the Head Students (from Cambridge High School and St Peter’s School) in preparing for and co-presenting the awards.

Development Tour 2018 (to Canada & USA)

18 months of planning, preparations and fundraising came to an end and the tour group of 28 Year 11 – 13 young men and 8 adults took off from Auckland Airport on 18 April bound for Vancouver, Canada. Most of our students were first-time flyers or had never done a long haul flight. Some thought they would sleep! As they came to quickly appreciate, sleeping sitting up is not that easy! So the 13 hours (!) were spent snoozing, watching movies, listening to music, sending messages to each other, eating, snoozing, watching movies . . . Arrival in Vancouver Airport gave us a glimpse of snow – capped mountains in the background and once through baggage and customs (no stamp! – just kiosk), out in to fresh crisp air (mid-spring). We bussed to Semiahmoo Secondary School in Surrey, British Columbia. This is an affluent area and the school makeup has altered radically in recent years with an influx of wealthy Hong Kong migrants. Vancouver also has a large Indian community. So the student body was multi-cultural. The boys went home with their host families and the adults to their motel. Images that remain are lots of crows, yellow school buses so familiar from TV programmes and spring flowers. I tried to sample local fare wherever we went so I got to eat:

- Shrimps, prawns, scallops, sockeye, salmon and crabcakes!

A local attraction was the White Rock beach and pier. Not much of a beach by our standards (but locals flock to it in summer). You can see USA from here. If you are old enough to remember a TV programme called “Beach Combers” you can picture logs washed up on a rocky beach. We had brought the sunshine with us. Locals were very pleased as evidently they had had days and days of rain. The boys enjoyed sushi, burgers and gelato icecream on their lunch walkabout.

First match of the tour was a comprehensive victory 57 – 0 against Semiahmoo Secondary School. Post-match function was held in a barn full of rugby memorabilia on a farm. Truck loads of pizzas were consumed. Boys played pool, darts etc together. Saturday 21 April saw us cross the border into Washington State, USA. Took us about an hour to get through customs but we got a stamp in our passports! Many Canadian locals go across the border weekly or fortnightly to buy cheaper USA petrol (“gas”) and groceries. They nearly fainted when we told them what we pay! A stop at Bellis Fair Mall (Bellingham) saw copious food consumed and lots of shopping (wait until Mufti Day and you will see some of their purchases). We assembled at Chuckanut Rugby Club and 2 boys turned 16! So there was cake to be eaten, The boys went home with their host families (lots of big pickup trucks!) Most of the families appeared to be pro-guns, pro- hunting pro- Trump . . . so we tended to steer clear of talking politics! A pleasant meal at a Craft Beer brewing restaurant (including Bison Burger and waffle fries) completed this day. Sunday 22 April was a great day: trip to the Boeing factory in Everett; Space Needle and Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle. Market specialised in arts & crafts, tulips, fruit, salmon and Alaskan King Crabs (massive!) . . . There were big queues of people lining up to have a coffee etc at the first ever Starbucks. Monday 23 April saw us play Chuckanut. Some of their players looked big but our superior skills won out 71 – 15. Post-match was a huge meal of hot dogs, cheeseburgers and potato salad. On Tuesday 24 April we crossed back across the border to (Morgan’s Crossing) an outlet mall – more food, more shopping (Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein. . .) Boys met up with their next lot of host families at DW Poppy Secondary School. This was in the outskirts of Langley, with a roll of about 800, many of whom live on farms/horticulture blocks.

The next day we visited Capilano Suspension Bridge Park – a beautiful and scenic area, river, redwoods . . . and serving the “Bridge Dog” - longest hot dog you can imagine. Thursday 26 April and the school really “turned it on” for us: banners, tunnel of students for players to run through; New Zealand National Anthem sung in both Māori and English; food stalls; whole school spectating. . .We were the first international school visit they had had. Once again, the game was played in great spirit and sunshine (24˚ C) with TAC triumphing 87-7. Friday 27 April saw us off to Vancouver where we all stayed in a hotel. Everyone had 6 hours to explore - Gastown, Yaletown, waterfront, Sunset Beach, Stanley Park . . . A beautiful well-planned city where you can bike or walk for miles on pathways. The team dinner that night was highly enjoyable and a great way to finish the Canada part of our trip. Saturday 28 April sees us off to the airport and on our way to California, USA! We checked into our Motel in Anaheim (close to you know what). We all had a great time at Disneyland. I went on Space Mountain, Indiana Jones Adventure, Big Thunder Mountain Road, Matterhorn Bobsleds, Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, It’s a Small World and Splash Mountain. Like everyone I ate heaps and did some shopping. Most went back in the afternoon for a swim and then returned for more rides and a fantastic extensive fireworks display lighting up the Main Street and Sleeping Beauty Castle depicting all your favourite characters from countless Pixar movies. Monday 30 April and we are off to Universal Studios – not only a theme park but they make TV programmes and movies there! The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was immensely popular, with lots of people in costume. Rides or attractions that were popular included: Walking Dead, Special Effects Show, Jurassic Park Ride, Transformers Ride and The Studio Tour. Unsurprisingly, some were having a bit of motion sickness by the end of the day. Bus ride back through Rodeo Drive (high end fashion, expensive cars) and on to the airport.

Another long flight and we land in beautiful clean green Aotearoa (Wednesday 2 May). Everyone’s suitcases were a lot fuller! and we had created and shared some great memories. A huge thanks to all those who supported the tour in any way prior to departure. And a gigantic thanks to the adults who toured: Brent Oliedam, Bailey Oliedam, Keri Baillie, Bryan Frederick, Colin Patterson, Aranui Te Rongamau and Koti Porter – your efforts and support were invaluable. A massive thanks to the boys – you were great ambassadors for Te Awamutu College and New Zealand, gaining the respect of host families, tour guide, shopkeepers . . . Kia Kaha.

A Student’s Perspective On our first day of the trip, we started at 8.00am with a long but nervous ride to Auckland Airport, from there we checked in, and had food before going into customs. Our team was excited and had fun on the travellators but some had too much fun, nearly getting run over by an airport cart and one person had to have a new boarding pass printed after losing it. After a long wait we finally boarded the plane and were late taking off because bees were being transported on our flight (the hold had to be at the right temperature!). During the 13 hour flight the boys had a couple hours sleep, watched movies, played games and listened to music. It was a long flight but worth it. Once at Vancouver Airport we grabbed our luggage and bussed to our first stop, Semiahmoo High School, where we were billeted out to our host families in groups of two or three. The first difference we noticed was driving on the right hand side of the road which was weird. Once at my host family’s house, we had dinner which was chicken tacos and muffins. We also played ice hockey on the road as well as basketball with our host and neighbours. We woke up to have breakfast (pancakes with maple syrup and blueberries) and our host made us lunch. That morning we had training. It wasn’t the best training but the jet lag hit us hard. After training we had haka practice, then played a bit of softball. Some left with bruises, we then made our way down the road to one of the longest and steepest hills. We made the mistake of walking down the hill then realised we have to walk up again. We walked to White Rock Pier, had lunch and then struggled up the hill back to the school, even though our coaches had to catch a ride in the taxi. That night we biked through the local woods (bush), then went to the pools (and did some bombs), played pool rugby, basketball and volleyball. The following morning we woke up at 7.00am, had breakfast (scrambled eggs on toast and cereal) and walked to school with our host. We attended both a Physics and Math class. Their school had lockers, just like the movies we have seen on T.V. and our lunch was in brown paper bags. That afternoon we played our first game, against Semiahmoo and won 57 - 0. The after match function was held at the clubhouse which was a barn but had everything, with games such as ping-pong, cards and pool, along with pizza and drinks.

The next day, up at 7.30am for oats with strawberries and nuts. We packed our bags and met at Semiahmoo School ready to travel to the Canadian/U.S.A. border. In order to cross into the U.S. where we stayed for three days, we stood in line for ages, the team was nervous as customs officers were very strict. Upon arrival at Bellingham City, we travelled to Bellis Fair Mall and had lunch at the food court. Having a look around the mall, some boys bought some gear (shoes, t-shirts). We all had fun riding on mechanical animals around the mall. That afternoon we went home with our host family. After a delicious meal of chicken wings, BBQ pork ribs and coleslaw, we went to another host house and met with some of our teammates where we played darts, cards, tennis, basketball and had fun on the motorbike and jeep. On the second day, (“Lucky Charms” cereal for breakfast) we travelled to the Boeing Factory in Everett, Washington State. It was fantastic! We went on a tour of the huge Boeing Factory, with millions of dollars worth of planes and hangars. Their security policy didn't allow us to carry phones or cameras. We were left with the phrase "if it's not Boeing, I'm not going". We then travelled to the Space Needle in Seattle which is similar to our Sky Tower in Auckland, which had a lookout over the city of Seattle. This was really cool. On my way back to the bus I got hustled by a monk who was trying to sell cards and bracelets while saying "lifetime peace". That was an experience!!! We then drove to Pike Place Market, which had a lot of food stalls and also an amazing atmosphere. This is where the very first Starbucks started. On the third morning (cereal – oats and honey for breakfast) we had training, then returned back to Bellis Fair Mall where we had lunch and the boys were able to shop again. The stores such as Zumiez and Champions made a lot of money, at the end of it the shop keeper knew all our names. We then went back to the rugby grounds and played our game. We beat Chuckanut 71-15, had the after match function and then returned to our host house. The final morning we packed bags, travelled to the border once more and crossed back into Canada. We stopped for lunch and travelled to D.W. Poppy. We arrived and watched two rugby games, one being the team we would be playing next. Our competition had a giant boy named Grob which the boys freaked out because of his size. He was huge! The boys were once again billeted out to their host family. The next day, we bussed to the Capilano Suspension Bridge. A vast, long wooden bridge which stretched across a river. What an amazing experience to walk across that wooden bridge. The park also had tree top and cliff walks.

The following morning the boys attended classes with their host which were fun because their Math class turned into a Māori and NZ slang class. That afternoon we played our rugby game, with the New Zealand and Canadian national anthems and our haka to begin. We won 87-7. That night we went to a mansion and had a swim in their pool along with plenty of manus and bombs. The next day we bussed to Vancouver where after checking in at our hotel, we had 6 hours to explore this beautiful city before returning for a team dinner where everyone ate heaps. The next morning we boarded our flight to LAX (Los Angeles Airport). From there we travelled to our hotel, which was right next to Disneyland and were allocated to our rooms for the night. The day had finally come! We walked to Disneyland and the team had an awesome time on all the rides but one day wasn't enough for all. Will definitely go back! With the next day being the last day of the trip, we packed our stuff and went to Universal Studios, which the boys loved and had another awesome time. From there we bussed down Hollywood Boulevard, with the stars’ names on the side walk and other cool places. Finally to the airport for the long flight home. All the boys were exhausted after a once in a lifetime trip. On behalf of all the team, I would like to thank our sponsors, parents and caregivers, parents, caregivers and supporters on the trip, Tony Membery and Brent Oliedam.

SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY

SPORTS NEWS

All Te Awamutu College Rugby teams have finally begun their seasons after an extended pre-season. We have an impressive six teams in 2018, including the 1st XV, 2nd XV, Girls 1st XV, Under 15, Under 65Kg and U55Kg, with the U55Kg team set to defend the Pat Bennett Trophy they won in 2017. The TAC Rugby Club “realises the importance of all players at Te Awamutu College. We have tried to ensure that all players receive coaches who are skilled and represent the best of what Te Awamutu is about. It is particularly pleasing to see that amongst our Coaching ranks we have members of TA Sports, Pirongia, TA Marist and Ohaupo Rugby Clubs as well as a qualified referee. The buy in from these Clubs is important as we all now realise that for rugby to remain a leading sport in the Waipa region we need to forge and maintain stronger links between the College and local Clubs. By developing these links we will provide more quality players to these senior teams when our players leave school”. This is particularly important for the 2018 season as the 1st XV returns to the local Division 1, 1st XV Competition. For the past two seasons we have been part of the wider Counties/Manukau Rainbows End Competition but with the withdrawal of Cambridge and St Johns (CNI Competition) it made sense to return to the local competition. The buy in from the local community has been impressive over the last 12 months. The TAC Rugby Club has recently secured Brown Pennell Chartered Accountants as the Platinum – Naming Sponsor for the Club for the next three seasons. Partners, Mark Evans and Keith Pennell share the vision of the TAC Rugby Club and realised that in order for rugby to thrive College rugby must thrive. Mark Evans, who attended and spoke at the 1st XV announcement said: “Back when I was at the College, and a member of the 1st XV, the 1st XV was announced by a simple list on the noticeboard. Having a naming ceremony is a great initiative and it is really good to see the direction the Club is taking and we are really pleased to be on board for the next three years”.

RUGBY

The TAC Rugby Club would also like to acknowledge the support of all of our 2018 sponsors: Waipa Workingmen’s Club (Mark Kelly and Committee) – 1st XV Financial Sponsor, Focused Physio (Joel Armstrong and Kara Thomas) – 1st XV Physio support TA Sports Rugby Club (Willie Berkers and Committee) – 1st XV Gear Bags Vetora – 1st/2nd XV Warm-up Shirts Rotorworks Ltd – Girls 1st XV Warm-up Shirts Collins Flooring X-tra (Darren Marsom) – Coaches’ Polo Shirts TA Marist Rugby Club (Marcus Smith and Committee) – Freezer for 1st XV home matches Pirongia Rugby Sports Club (Brian Johnston and Committee) – New platform for the No1 scoreboard Grassroots Trust – New Carpet, Tables and Chairs for the TAC Pavilion If you are able to reciprocate their support for the TAC Rugby Club please do so and mention your link to the TAC Rugby Club. Results to date have been pleasing with the 1st XV winning their first competition game vs Morrinsville and the Girls 1st XV having two impressive wins over Fraser and Putaruru. The U55KG team are still undefeated this year and certainly seem to be on track for defending their 2017 title. We hope to see you all down on the sideline at some point. Feel free to have a chat to any member of the Committee or follow them on facebook @teawamtucollegerugby or via their website at www.sporty.co.nz/teawamutucol.
