Click here Friday 2 August Message from the Executive PrincipalKia ora koutou, good afternoon, 下午好, 안녕하세요 After a well-earned break, it is great to be back in school for what promises to be a term full of learning and activities that will offer something for everyone. Yesterday morning, we held our traditional powhiri to welcome new students and staff into the Pinehurst community. This is a special occasion for all involved and marks the beginning of what I hope will be a very special journey at the school. I look forward to getting to know our new families, and I am sure they will quickly feel welcome. Our swimming team had an outstanding meet at the New Zealand Secondary School Championships during the last week of the holidays. The team won a stunning 12 gold, 10 silver, and 8 bronze medals, leading to 3rd place overall in School Points. Everyone involved should be incredibly proud of their performance in the pool. Swimming is a sport where so much work is done behind the scenes, but now is the time for our athletes to enjoy the spotlight of success. Our badminton program has also had some excellent results recently, with Jack Ji winning the National Under 19 Championship and Tony Yu finishing runner-up in the men’s singles at the National Championships. We look forward to seeing our star badminton players representing the school in the upcoming tournament week. For our senior students, Term Three represents the sharp end of the academic year as they begin final preparations for their external exams early in Term Four. Year 13, in particular, have a busy term ahead, during which they will enjoy many ‘lasts’ and celebrate their time in school. We look forward, as a school, to celebrating their achievements at the end of the term. Our Year 5 and 6 students are already getting into production mode in preparation for performances of ‘Finding Nemo’ later in the term. Costumes are in development and the classes are exploring face painting as part of their learning. I have no doubt the shows will be great, but the learning and exploration over the coming weeks will also create lasting memories. We had an excellent Teacher Only Day on Monday. Supporting the well-being of our staff is a priority, and in the morning, we had a guest speaker discussing how to find the right balance between sleep, exercise, and nutrition to ensure an energised day. Throughout the afternoon, the focus was on improving our pedagogy, and there were many insightful discussions about how we can best unlock your child’s potential. This term, we welcome four ‘new’ staff members into the Primary School. Debbie Lay and Suzie Aston are responsible for our newest students in P5, and Dee Rodrigues and Hannah Cooper are taking over the teaching responsibility for P2. All four staff members are well-known and respected in our community and will do a great job guiding our new entrant students through the rest of the year. This week, I asked staff to pay close attention to uniform standards and timeliness, and this can be expected to continue. If we get small things right, then the big things will begin to take care of themselves. I hope you have a great weekend. Best wishes, Mike Waller Dates for your DiaryMonday 5 August

Message from the Principal of CollegeTēnā koutou katoa Term 3 got off to a very positive start in the College with students arriving on Tuesday looking rested and obviously ready to get back into their learning. There are lots of exciting things to look forward to this term including Year 8 winter camp, tournament week and AIMS games. This is also the term in which our Year 11-13 students take their mock examinations and Years 9, 11 and 12 students make important subject option choice decisions. We will hold evening meetings during the term to keep you informed and give opportunities for discussion about these important decisions and events; please keep an eye on the school calendar for dates of meetings. Whilst the rest of us were enjoying the last few days of our midyear holiday, our swimming team had some incredible successes at the New Zealand Secondary School Swimming Championships. The team received an astounding 12 Gold medals, 10 Silver medals and 8 Bronze medals. You can read more about individual achievements further on in the newsletter, but we are very proud that Pinehurst were ranked third place overall in the school points, which is the best achievement we have ever had at this competition. Congratulations to all our fantastic swimmers and well done on the huge effort you have put in to reach this standard. We also had excellent news over the break from our badminton players including Tony Yu and Jack Li who both managed outstanding achievements which Mr Le Lievre has written about later in the newsletter. Jack will captain our team at the New Zealand Secondary Schools National Badminton Competition in Wellington at the start of September and we are eagerly awaiting to hear how they go. Our wonderful Year 13 are now into their last ever school term. This group of students are outstanding role models and ambassadors for our school, and I regularly receive compliments about their conduct, attitude and behaviour. I spoke to the group yesterday about plans we have in place for a special final day for them and you will hear more about this as the term progresses. If your child is taking Cambridge examinations in October and November, you should by now have received a statement of entry detailing the papers they will take. It is important that this statement is very carefully checked and discussed before signing and returning to school on Monday. I hope to see you at Parent Teacher Conferences on Tuesday or Thursday next week. Have a lovely weekend. Ngā mihi nui Dawn Sullivan College NewsBadminton ExcellenceTony (Y11) finished Runner-up in the Open Men's Singles competition at the New Zealand National Badminton Championships (the adult one) from 26 – 28 July, and Tony is only 15 years old. To make the final at an open age national tournament is a credit to the skills and determination to excel by such a young player. Tony defeated Chris Benzie 21-17, 10-21, 21-19 in the quarterfinals. He then lost the first set against his semi-finalist Alex Galt 15-21 but dug deep to win the next two sets 21-19, 21-13 to set up a finals match against the current Senior Men’s Oceania Champion and Olympic qualifier, Edward Lau (aged 23). Lau went on to win the final match but not without Tony putting up the fight of his life to win many valuable points against an older and much more experienced and accomplished opponent. Tony (Y11) finished Runner-up in the Open Men's Singles competition at the New Zealand National Badminton Championships Jack (Y12) continues to excel with more back-to-back wins in badminton. Jack can now add to his list of achievements this year, the title of NZ U19 National Champion after having defeated every opponent in the NZ National U19 competition held in July. This rounds off a success year so far with Jack having already won the U19 Waikato Championship in April, and then in May, Jack went on to win the highly contested 2024 Yonex Auckland U19 Championship against some of New Zealand’s best players, including international players who came to NZ for the competition. His success has earned him 1st Place Ranking in the NZ U19 category, further cementing his dominance over all competitors at this level. Jack will captain our Pinehurst Boys Team at the New Zealand Secondary Schools National Badminton Competition in Wellington – Porirua, at the start of September. The team is wanting to place in the Top Four during the preliminary games earlier in the week, to be in the running for a medal during the final day of play on Thursday 5 September – Pinehurst Boys Team members: Jack, Tony, Jack Zeng, Peter Shi and Robert Le Lievre. Jack (Y12) - NZ U19 National Champion Toi o te WikiToi o te wiki this week goes to Year 13, Digital Media Design student, Danielle. 'My artwork symbolizes the hidden, enigmatic identity of the subject. The photograph captures only a glimpse, inviting viewers to perceive it. Previously, the photo concealed the truth about what lay beneath, leaving room for speculation. Gradually, like unraveling a strand-by-strand mask, it reveals my authentic self—the inner thoughts and emotions that transcend how I present myself to others. Inspired by Confucius’ quote, “wherever you go, there you are,” I explore self-awareness and the persistence of our inner state, regardless of external circumstances.' Shadow a Leader ExperienceUpon expressing my interests in public law in my application, I was surprised by an assignment to the M&A specialist firm, JW Legal. I was greeted with warmth by the founding director, and was left even more surprised by how fascinating I found his crash course on company law. I was guided through performing due diligence on a company a client wished to purchase, so I could draft a report. His advice on career and law led me to look forth with more excitement and openness. I am incredibly thankful for AUT and my firm for the transformative experience. - Gloria K I had an exciting day at EY (Ernst & Young, an international consulting firm) in Auckland CBD on Monday as part of the Shadow a Leader scheme. I was nervous at first to meet all these important executives but they couldn’t have been nicer. Paired with a current AUT Business student we were introduced to what seemed like the whole business! After an overwhelming number of names we moved on to client meetings and client account planning. Una (Partner at EY) sent us off to coffee with 3 of the EY graduates and they were happy to answer all my questions. After lunch I met another partner, our conversation was mostly focused on internships, and how they help to set off your career. The whole day was full of insights! - Katherine G When I went to shadow a leader on Wednesday, I went to NPDL which is a shipping company, I had no idea about this sort of business and what a major role it plays in everyone’s lives, throughout the day I was flooded with heaps of fascinating information and did a tour of the vast warehouse full with pallets of goods ready to be shipped, I even went to lunch with a client and able to see how my leader, NPDLs New Zealand sales manager, handled the client and how formalities are carried out. I saw first hand how the containers are loaded and unloaded and then saw at the Head Quarters how they are logged and how each container must be meticulously handled as to obey all laws put in place by the numerous different country’s NPDL ships to. After leaving the NPDL office I left with a whole lot of new knowledge and a much better understanding. It also showed me how a business should be run and how everyone works together to be a good and effective team. - Chase T New Zealand Secondary Schools Swimming ChampionshipsDuring the holidays, 15 swimmers from Pinehurst competed at the NZSS Swimming Championships which were held at AUT Millennium. The Pinehurst team made history at this competition as their accumulative points from their individual & relay placings put Pinehurst as the 3rd top School overall. This is the highest placing we have ever achieved at the NZSS Championships and is a representation of the talent that we have at Pinehurst. Out of our 15 relay teams, 13 of our teams medaled in their respective relay races. This is outstanding and we would like to commend our students for working together to achieve such awesome results. From all of the individual and relay events, our team earned 12 Gold medals, 10 silver medals and 7 bronze medals. This is an incredible feat from our team, and we are very proud of their efforts.

Update from the Junior College Debate ClubIs Mathematics more important than PE? This was the question at the heart of the debate session our Junior College Debating Club had on Thursday, the 1st August. On the affirmative side, Serena Y, Mia Y and Jeremy T argued that Mathematics was more important. On the negative side, Ivana G, Pippi G and Eva Z used persuasive arguments to convince us otherwise. Both teams were well organised and presented us with a very well-crafted and entertaining debate session. Congratulations to the affirmative team who won by a narrow margin and to Serena Y who was voted best individual speaker. Thank you to Isabella Z and Emily Z who were our adjudicators and to our valued audience. Year 7, 8 and 9 Speech FinalsIt has been a busy start to the term, and for some busier than others. Thirty-four finalists across Year 7, 8 and 9 presented their speeches on Wednesday and Thursday this week, entertaining their audiences with all sorts of topics. In Year 7 the topics ranged from ‘Why you should geocache’ to ‘Why mushrooms are epic’. Our winners were: 1st Mimie L – ‘Why student’s students should be able to ask as many questions as they want’; 2nd Natalie W – ‘Why laughter is the best medicine’ and Abbygrace W – ‘Why fame is bad for children’. Our Year 8s continued the high standard of speeches with a range of humourous and serious topics. They made it difficult for the judges to choose but the winners were: 1st – Abby C who gave a thoughtful speech on ‘Why autocorrect is ruing our lives’; a very close 2nd was Alex S with his entertaining speech, ‘Kids are better than adults’ and finally 3rd place Xavier W on ‘Why schools should operate a four-day week’. The Year 9 speeches were of a very high standard and were thought provoking with original ideas and topics. They proved to be incredibly entertaining and the judges had a tough time coming up with only 3 winners. The audience will never view the humble block of cheese the same again – our winner Quinton L’s speech on ‘Why cheese is so great’ was most convincing and had the audience eating out of his hand – cheesy :). In 2nd place was Angela L on ‘Why New Zealand is better than Australia’ and Sofia B 3rd, gave an inspirational talk on ‘Why you don’t have to know who you want to be’. Congratulations to all finalists on making it to the finals and can’t wait to see what next year brings!
Message from the Principal of PrimaryKia ora, There were lots of smiling faces on Tuesday morning, a few looked a bit shocked by the early morning start but settled very quickly into the familiar rhythms of daily school life. We started a new class in P5 with 15 New Entrants and their teachers Mrs Aston and Mrs Lay. They were so settled, no tears, and happy to talk about their learning. What a fantastic start to school, we look forward to watching them learn and grow. The staff were back on Monday, rested, some a little jet lagged but ready to go and looking forward to connecting with their classes again. We spent the day developing ourselves professionally with a focus on Thinking and Working Mathematically which is a requirement now as part of the Cambridge Primary curriculum. We are creating opportunities for learners to problem solve using eight specific strategies. The work that students do through the Busy Ants programme develops their mathematical knowledge and problem solving and gives them an opportunity to apply that knowledge in a variety of real life and abstract situations. We discovered in more depth the effect of using maths talk in problem solving to create more understanding. One of our school values is excellence and as a team we want that for our learners as well as for ourselves. With that in mind we spent part of the day discussing what excellence looks like in our classrooms and in our teams to create common understandings around the expectations we have of ourselves, each other, and our school. It was an energising day with lots of buzz and a time to learn as well as connect after the break. In Week 6 we will be performing Finding Nemo Jr and our Year 5 and 6 students are well into rehearsals and sounding fantastic! It is a singing, dancing, acting extravaganza with a lot of talent and we know that it will be a treat. Including all students in the show is an opportunity for them to try something they maybe wouldn’t have it we just had a small number of actors. It is also an opportunity to make special memories together of their time in Primary. Not everyone can have a main part, but everyone contributes to the overall performance. Have a great weekend. Ngā mihi nui, Sian Coxon Primary NewsYear 5-8 Table Tennis – Outstanding ResultsPinehurst Blue table tennis team, which consists of Abigail T, Matthew H, and Jayden H won the Premier A league in Term 2. Well done team on a great achievement. Primary SpecialistsYear 5 Gymnastics with Mr Taylor Gymnastics in Primary PE introduces children to fundamental movement skills, balance, coordination, and strength through structured exercises and routines. It promotes physical development while encouraging creativity and confidence in movement. The emphasis for this unit of work is on developing the gymnastic skills such as jumping, rotation, balance, landing, running, hopping, and skipping. Coordination is also a key goal, with activities designed to enhance hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness through various movements. Additionally, improving muscular strength, flexibility, and overall fitness levels are essential components, ensuring students develop a strong and flexible physique. Gymnastics in Primary PE extends beyond physical skill development. It aims to foster creativity, confidence, and a lifelong appreciation for movement and fitness. By providing a structured yet supportive environment, students can acquire valuable skills that contribute to their overall physical literacy. This holistic approach ensures that children not only improve their physical abilities but also build self-esteem and a love for active living. Year 6 Science with Mrs Herbert - Chemical Changes and Mixtures Understanding chemical reactions involves recognising that reactants interact to form new substances, known as products. Students will be encouraged to identify evidence of a chemical reaction through observation, and describe changes in colour, temperature, gas production, or precipitate formation. Our Year Six scientists will explore the effect of temperature on the dissolving of solids in liquids using the particle model, which illustrates how increased temperature accelerates particle movement, enhancing dissolution. Year 3 Music with Ms Pope - Ostinato and Texture Students will expand their knowledge of melody and rhythm construction, exploring the use of ostinato (repeated pattern) as a starting point. They will use technical language like ostinato, texture, ground bass, and basso continuo, and participate in unison and part singing, or playing. Year Four Mandarin with Ms Venn - Mandarin Foreign Language Students will learn to compare harvest festival practices across different cultures, gaining insights into diverse traditions and celebrations. In the realm of language, they will develop an understanding of Pinyin and tones, which are crucial for accurate pronunciation in Mandarin. They will continue to develop strategies for recognizing and recalling characters, enhancing their reading and writing skills. Additionally, students will practice talking about fruits, expressing their likes and dislikes, and incorporating the use of pronouns and third-person forms in their conversations. New EntrantThe children in New Entrants have come back ready for the term ahead, and excited about all the new learning that will take place. This week we are welcoming our newest students to school this term in P5 with Mrs Aston and Mrs Lay. They have had a fabulous first week at school and have been learning all about what school is like, where everything is and having lots of fun. In P4 this week we have started our new Big Writing Adventure, with our mission to help Hetty's Hat Shop. We have been looking at all the different types of hats there are and have even had the chance to model them as we begin to set up our own shop in the classroom. In P1 we are excited to be embarking on some new topics this term including planning a journey to the International Space Station as our Science topic. Alongside this we will be talking to an alien called Zag from the planet Zupton in this terms Big Writing Adventure! We will be learning about things like how to write a recount, make a comparison chart and practise our rhyming words! In P2 we have started our new writing mission and this week we have been learning to make a poster and write instructions about recycling. We are remembering to use bossy verbs and punctuation when we write our sentences. Senior Year 1 and Year 2In Senior Year 1 and Year 2, our first few days back in school this week have seen our classes getting straight into their learning and they have been very busy! The topic for science this term is Journey to the International Space Station. As a preparation for the trip to the ISS, P22 learnt about the basic requirements for the survival of humans this week. In P23 we have been familiarising ourselves with a word processor and thinking about how we could use this application in the future. The students worked hard learning to identify and find keys, before adding text to their page by pressing keys on a keyboard. We have been thinking about all the places that they could create and write text. They added a picture and text to a Seesaw post. So far the children have been able to post a photograph on to Seesaw, now they are able to add the WALHT (We Are Learning How To) to each post. In P6, we have been diving into the fascinating world of nouns, adjectives, and adverbs. We played an engaging game where each student had to come up with descriptive words (adjectives) to describe their buddies. From "sparkling star, Ora" to "adventurous Jasper". During the lesson, we had a brainstorming session where students actively participated in identifying nouns, adjectives, and adverbs. They were divided into 3 different groups, each focusing on one aspect. It was a fun and interactive way to reinforce their understanding of these important language elements. Afterwards, the students were tasked with creating captions using interesting nouns and adjectives. Some of the creative captions they came up with included: "When a scary dragon meets fearless P6" Overall, it was a successful lesson that helped our young learners enhance their language skills and express themselves more vividly! This term, for Design and Technology, P7 will be completing a unit called Fabric Bunting. The children will work through the process of developing a product by first creating a design using a computer graphics program, then working with felt to cut out a bunting shape and finally learning how to use a running stich using a needle and thread. Once they have created their bunting, they will explore different fabrics and add additional shapes and designs to make it more personalised. This week the children began by evaluating some existing bunting designs and suggesting possible improvements. After that they started drafting some initial ideas on whiteboards. By the end of the term the children will have created a set of bunting to display in our classroom. P8 have been learning how to write writing expanded noun phrases. An expanded noun phrase is used to add more detail to the noun by adding one or more adjectives that are separated by a comma. Term 3 News from Year 3 and 4Once again, the classrooms and playgrounds are full of enthusiastic and excited students returning to school after a wonderful 3 weeks of rest and recovery. Year 3’s are investigating estimations to support accuracy of calculations when problem solving. The students are encouraged to participate in maths talk discussions and to work collaboratively to solve problems quickly and efficiently. In P9… In Global Perspectives this term the students are investigating how water is found and used not only in NZ but around the world. They began by identifying water sources in our school and how we access water to use every day. They will then move into different ways we can look after our water supplies and Be Water Wise!!! In P10… At the beginning of Term 3 in Year 3 homeroom maths we are investigating statistics. This involves creating and interpreting data presented in a variety of different ways, we are moving from tally charts, bar graphs into interpreting pictograms. We are also learning how to create our own questions to investigate and present data collected on a graph. In P11… Our science topic this term begins with us investigating states of matter. We began with sharing what we know about solids, liquids and gases, progressing into understanding how different states of matter can change or not according to a process that is used to do this. Year 4’s are exploring a range of different types of poems and critically thinking about the type of vocabulary and language devices that authors use to create messages and pictures for the reader. In writing they are beginning their process of creating speeches to share with each other culminating in the Year 4-6 speech competition later in the term. P12 are developing research skills to identify where food comes from. They are beginning by thinking about the origin of food in our local area and then they will begin to explore how food transportation works globally. Throughout this research they will work in groups collaborating and working together to research and present their findings. This week P12 are also enjoying their movie and popcorn treat as they have been successful for regularly completing their maths whizz. P13 are beginning to explore how to use audio media to create a podcast. They are beginning to learn about the functions of different keys and processes to follow using ipads and laptops in order to achieve this. They are all working independently and carefully to follow the steps in order to be able to use audio features on their laptops. P14 are beginning to explore how to gain an insight and developmental understanding of art being used as a tool for celebration, collaboration, and expressing viewpoints. They will be critically thinking about other artists work and include techniques in their own artistic pieces. We are sure that you will all enjoy watching the learning as it develops through all of these different and engaging contexts. The Year 3 and 4 Teachers. Nau mai hoki mai from Year 5 and 6!Nau mai hoki mai from Year 5 and 6! Welcome back to another exciting start of Term 3! We hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing holiday with your loved ones. As we reunite after the break, we look forward to continuing our journey of learning, growth, and camaraderie together. Term 3 promises to be a time of further exploration, discovery, and achievement. Our dedicated team of teachers has prepared a diverse range of engaging and educational experiences to inspire and challenge every student. Whether it's in academics, sports, arts, or any other pursuit, we are committed to supporting each student in reaching their full potential. In our syndicate, we also have a very exciting event in the calendar: Our Year 5 and 6 Production of Finding Nemo! Preparations are well underway and they are going swimmingly (pardon the pun!). It’s all hands on deck as we get ready to take to the stage in Week 6 to display our talent, hard work and efforts. We look forward to seeing your smiling and proud faces in the audience. Ticket information to follow soon. As teachers, we've been reflecting on the term that has passed, as well as looking ahead to the future. Below is a brief reflection from each class on the previous term and what we are most looking forward to this coming term: P15 In Term 2, P15 embraced developing our class culture with a new teacher, showing great adaptability and enthusiasm. Our highlights were competing in the school’s cross-country event, the pre-historic themed STEM day and delving into basic coding through the Brain Play programme. Looking ahead to this term, we are excited about our trip to the Waitakere Refuse Centre next week, preparing for and presenting our speeches, and hosting the school assembly in week 8. We are all refreshed after a lovely school holiday and ready for another busy term full of growth and achievement! P16 Term 2 in P16 was jam-packed full of many different learning experiences that the children thoroughly enjoyed. We had Brain Play, where the children learnt to code and program robots, STEM Day, where we made volcanoes and explored prehistoric life, several guest speakers and performers, book week and of course, camp! The children had the wonderful opportunity to try many new and exciting activities, push themselves out of their comfort zone and have a huge sleepover! We are all excited and looking ahead to Term 3, particularly for our trip to the Zero Waste Zone and our Finding Nemo Production. P17 Term 2 in P17 was filled with a variety of enjoyable learning experiences. The students eagerly anticipate our writing mission, where we collaborated with author Annie Albright to create an anthology centred around the theme of timeslips. During STEM Day, they made volcanoes and explored prehistoric life. We also celebrated Book Week with a famous characters theme and went on an unforgettable Year 5 camp, where all students pushed their boundaries by trying challenging physical activities. Looking ahead to Term 3, P17 are looking forward to our upcoming buddy class, where we'll reconnect with our older college buddies. We are feeling ambivalent about our writing topic of speeches but we’re all excited to give it a go! We eagerly anticipate our annual LEGO day too! P19 P19 all agree that Term 2 flew by and was packed with new learning and activities. We enjoyed Pink Shirt Day, Cross Country, and STEM Day, as well as watching Seussical the Musical. We tackled algebra, defended Goldilocks, painted landscapes, and reflected on energy use. As Term 3 begins, P19 is revising for progression tests while also having lots of fun. We’re looking forward to the exciting events planned for the term, such as the various sporting Supercluster events, Lego Day, and, of course, our production of Nemo! P20 Term 2 was packed with excitement and learning. We collaborated in art to create mixed-media landscapes and explored energy efficiency in global studies, finding our school impressively green. In English, we uncovered Baby Bear as the mastermind in the mystery of Goldilocks. Digital learning had us building web pages and graphing survey data. Our inter-house cross country event boosted house spirit with enthusiastic cheers. As we enter Term 3, we're filled with anticipation for the challenges of the whirlwind 9-week term. Super cluster netball and hockey, Mid-Year Progression Tests, the Finding Nemo Production, and speeches are ahead. In art, we'll craft pop-up books reflecting global and health issues. It's going to be an extraordinary Term 3! P21 Term 2 was an action-packed and enriching period for the students in P21. They participated in a wide range of learning experiences, from winter sports to an exciting and fun science-focused week. They delved into formulas, number sequences, and the properties of shapes, and embarked on thrilling writing missions. The students are eagerly anticipating Term 3 and are excited about upcoming events such as the senior production, sports days, and new learning opportunities! Football TournamentDuring the holidays our some of our Primary footballers competed in a mini tournament with other schools through Top Corner Kids. Our teams did very well with two of the three teams winning their age competition. Pinehurst Primary School’s
