MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Kia ora and welcome to all readers.
Mairehau High School remains a solid viable co-educational
school in the East of Christchurch. We are working with
other schools, clusters, and community sector groups to
develop and implement actions which will enhance the provision of education
for all students in Christchurch. I take this opportunity to welcome students
and staff from Queenspark School to the Mairehau High School Technology
programme. Each week Year 7 and 8 students from Queenspark School are
provided with a range of exciting learning programmes.
The school has recently purchased the latest computers on the market to
support teaching and learning strategies. Teachers are being supported by
Cyclone computers to enhance teaching programmes and the school is
implementing our Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) strategy to support
student learning.
We have expanded our collaborative shared Flexible Learning Environment
programme which includes Year 9 and Year 10 students. All schools want
students to access quality education outcomes, to access quality teaching, and
quality learning. We wish our students to have opportunities which will
enable them to become decent worthwhile citizens of the world.
Plenty has already happened in Mairehau High School this term. I am very
proud of the academic achievements of Mairehau High School students. Our
2016 NCEA results are simply outstanding.
I congratulate all students on your achievements and I also congratulate your
parents, family and your teachers and all who have supported you during
these years of school. Strive to succeed in whatever life holds for you.
Maintain high expectations, take opportunities and be innovative when faced
with life’s challenges.

High Ropes Course at the Groynes
Our Physical Education 101
students challenged
themselves on the High Ropes
Course at the Groynes
recently. This was Sponsored
by Horizons Unlimited, and the
Purpose of this activity was to
look at what motivates us
towards Physical activity, and
what are some of the barriers
we can overcome together. It
was an awesome day!
Thanks to teacher aide Marlow
who accompanied us and
supported our Supported
Learning Centre students.
Mairehau vs Wild
The annual 'Mairehau vs Wild' Year 12 Physical
Education camp was held from the 15-17th of March.
After days of torrential and worrying rain, the team was
blessed with 3 days of the most gorgeous weather, with
the sun shining down on our epic adventures!
Day 1 included raft building, kayaking and paddle
boarding at Lake Rua with KORE. The girls easily beat
the boys in the raft building task, much to the boys’
dismay!
After leaving the lake, we went to the Birch Hill Cemetery
where there is a tribute to the horses who served and
died in World War 1. We were humbled by this impressive
memorial, and its stunning and pertinent location!
After arriving at camp, hot and
tired, we headed for a swim in
Coopers Creek. Boy was it
freeeeezing! It literally left us
breathless, but awake, which
was the main thing.
Day 2 we climbed Mt Oxford.
This lofty beast took us about 7
hours to climb up and down, but
we were treated to breathtaking
panoramic views - even if it was
super hot! We saw a deer at the
very top, which was very
exciting, but only a few of us got
to see him, as he didn't stick
around long!
That evening, after another swim
(it was ever so slightly warmer)
and wash, we headed to the
Oxford Observatory. Wow, it was
so cool! We got to see Jupiter, its
'rings' and four of its moons. We also got to see
our closest star, a supernova and a 'black hole',
and we found out where all our star signs live in
the sky!
On Day 3, we mountainbiked from base to Kowhai Riding School, where
we got to learn to ride and trot horses, and then take them on a trek up a
hill!
After this we had a yummy fish and chip lunch in Oxford, before making
the journey back to school.
We had such an epic time! We made new friends, and learned new things.
Overall, a fantastic trip! Big thanks to Mr Lee, Mrs Dench, Ms
Sturkenboom and Jacinta Gomez and all our wonderful Year 12 Phys
Edders for making it such an awesome adventure!

OUR NEW SCHOOL APP
Students and staff at Mairehau
High School are excited about
their latest ICT innovation, a
brand new school app.
The idea came about from a
staff discussion about how we
could make it easier for parents
and our community to find out
more information about us, and
to contact the school easily and
efficiently. With society’s everincreasing reliance on mobile
devices, we thought an app was
the perfect option.
Another key driver for the
introduction of the school app
was our most recent ‘shake-up’

YEAR 12
Outdoor
Education
Kayaking
Recently the school
received funding to pay for
new kayaks and all of the
equipment required to use
the kayaks safely. For our
Year 12 Outdoor Education,
we have been practising
how to roll the kayaks, how
to wet exit, how to do X and
T rescues, what equipment
is needed, and how to
paddle properly. We have
been kayaking for the last 4
weeks and have had 3 pool
sessions and one 1 river
session.
On 16 March we went to the Heathcote River for our first experience on a river with the moving
current. As we were going down the river we practised identifying different river features for
our upcoming assessments. We also practised using different strokes on a moving current, for
example, power stroke, sweep stroke and a fairy crossing upstream on the river. Once the
team got a feeling for the current they found it easier to keep their boats straight, making it a
smooth kayak downstream from then on. The team then had a slight test of endurance at the
end (some found it EXTREME). We had paddled downstream away from our van so had to
carry our kayaks back to the
starting point because it was
too swift and shallow to go
back upstream. This made for
a quiet ride back to school.
Overall the first river kayak
for the team went smoothly
and the students said they
felt confident on the river.
Our next challenge is to
paddle a Grade 2 river, and
we are researching possible
rivers we could paddle on.
Grade 2 river rapids have
regular medium sized waves
(less than 1 metre), low
ledges or drops, easy eddies
and gradual bends. The passage is easy to recognise and is generally unobstructed although
there may be rocks in the main current. There are also some overhanging branches or log
jams.
2016 English Scholarship Recipient
Mairehau High School is very proud of its
latest New Zealand Scholarship recipient in
English, Jake Jeffries. A Scholarship exam is
demanding for even the most able
candidates and requires students to
demonstrate high-level critical thinking,
abstraction and generalisation, and to
integrate, synthesise and apply knowledge,
skills, understanding and ideas to complex
situations. Only the top 3% of candidates in
the country are awarded

and hopefully in the future more sports

Our annual Mairehau Games event on Friday
the 24th of February proved to be one of the
best the school has had EVER!
It started out early as student leaders and
teachers raced about putting the finishing
touches to the field event markings and
locating their costumes - yes that’s right, we
dress up. The weather started out clear and
only ever got more gorgeous as the day
passed.
Students congregated in the Gym at 8:45 in
their Waka Groups; teams of colour
fizzing with excitement. Each team had a
brand new Waka Group flag with their
emblems adorning it, the vibrancy of
these bringing a fresh flavour to the day.
Scanning around I could see a student
dressed as a Tuatara, one with a full
body Maui Dolphin suit, many fiery red
attempts of representing a Short-tailed
bat, and some Falcon onesies, all of
which speaking loudly of our ownership
over the symbolism of guardianship that
each individual Waka Group has.
The new Ki O Rahi field that was
officially opened on the 7th of April has
necessitated that we move the 400m
track to the far east side of the back
field. Thus providing us with better
space usage and allowing for a big gap in
The Waka Leaders led their respective Waka
Groups in chanting out their whakatauki, a
sound that echoed throughout the
neighbourhood with pride. Students then
spewed out of the Gym to carry on the
festivities outside where they could be louder
and more impacting in their exuberance.
Waka Ama took out the competition for the
loudest Waka Group.
After the festivities we all moved around a
series of athletic and tabloid style events
within our year levels. This year’s athletic
events were: Discus, Long Jump, Shot Put,
High Jump, 100m, 200m, and a lot of Tabloid
Games focusing on team building run by Ms
Napa and Mr Lee.
Everyone had the opportunity to compete
and most participated with motivation and
energy. After a long morning we hit the
BBQ’s with as much passion as a pack of wolves in a
hotdog factory; followed by the annual dance off - where
we all bring our moves to the dance floor and battle it out.
It was a shame not to have Hayden Dixon here this year
but Isaiah Cameron certainly stepped it up.
After the conclusion of athletic and tabloid events we
came to the moment we’d all been waiting for - the
hallowed staff versus students relay race. We had a new
team this year of student teachers who brought their
fever and rigour to the field but came up short. It is with
great honor that I announce the overall winners of the
relay event… for the first year in recorded history… the
privilege… nay, the respect… goes to… the teachers team!!
Congratulations to all finalists that then went on to
compete in the Canterbury Athletics Championships in
the pouring rain - well done for braving the elements - you
made us proud.

OPENING OUR NEW KI O RAHI FIELD
7 APRIL 2017
Ki O Rahi is a traditional Maori ball game that has been
played for centuries, originating in the Maori Battalion. The
game is similar to, or a combination of touch, netball and
rugby with two teams both defending and attacking
simultaneously.
Our Ki O Rahi field
At Mairehau High School, we have the only Ki O Rahi field of
its kind in the South Island.
We hosted an official
Opening Ceremony for our
newly developed field on
April 7 at lunchtime.

“Ms Adhy”
Hi, My name is Chithira Adhynarayanan and students here
address me as Ms Adhy. I became part of the Mairehau family
from the beginning of this year, teaching Mathematics to
students from Year 10 to Year 12.
I moved to New Zealand from
Singapore about 3 years ago with
my family. Previously, I was
working as a high school
Mathematics teacher in Singapore
and I also had the opportunity to
teach at Aranui High School. It was
an eye-opening experience, as I
learnt a lot about the New Zealand
education system and culture. I
look forward to continuing my
teaching journey here at Mairehau
High School.

our last two current remaining students in the team, were proud to claim the win for Mairehau
High School.
These two boys have demonstrated excellent leadership after their experiences playing in
this team, and for the last few weeks have decided to take charge and run trainings for our
Junior Boys’ Touch Team, who have already, after only 2 practices, shown a dramatic
improvement in their team performance. Perhaps this could be the starting block for another
successful Mairehau team further down the track.

SCHOOL UNIFORM
Winter is fast approaching and with that comes cold, wet conditions. Please remember
that students are required to follow the expectations when it comes to uniform.
Jackets - We now have the school jacket available for $85.00. It is warm and
waterproof and ideal for those cold wintry days. If your son/daughter already has a
plain black jacket then this is acceptable. The jacket is to have no fur, and must be a rain
jacket.
Socks - plain black calf length for girls and boys. Girls may wear black full length tights
(pantyhose).
Shoes - black shoes with black soles. NO hightops / boots
No hoodies of any description are to be worn. We have a school jersey, cardigan or
polar fleece.
Caps / Beanies - BLACK only. No logos / stickers
Scarves - A school scarf is available at the school to purchase. No other scarf is to be
worn
Any non-uniform item will be impounded until the end of the term. Students are well
aware of this, so please encourage them to wear the correct uniform daily.
Shoes - we have a small supply of shoes which we will endeavour to swap for incorrect
ones.
Thank you for your support with uniform. It is important that our uniform is worn well and
with pride.
The community recognises us by our uniform and we have often been complimented on how
great it looks when worn correctly.
If you have any issues with uniform please call the school and speak to Sue Purvis

SHAKESPEARE WINN
FESTIVAL
The Sheilah Winn Festival of Shakespeare
is an opportunity for students to perform 15
minute scenes from the works of The Bard.
Our entry was from Macbeth, and we chose
the murder of Banquo and the dinner party
where Macbeth sees Banquo's ghost. The
cast was made up of students from Year 912, and for most of them, was their acting
debut. This is a unique opportunity
Mairehau High School offers, as most
schools only allow senior students to
participate.
Our scene was awarded the Magic Moment
Award - Banquo's Ghost. A special
congratulations goes to Ben Andrew who
was awarded Best Actor for the Festival for
his outstanding performance as Macbeth.
He was ably supported by Bella Berry,
Kees Gifford-Whanau, Ben O’Neill, Ella
Peoples, Holly Boardman, Rachel Wilson,
Monique Hore, Maddison Bouma, and
Georgina Free.

Taking Orders Now!
We have just received more stock of our
NEW monogrammed Mairehau High
School jacket. This jacket is perfect for the
cooler weather ahead. They are fleece
lined and shower proof, with a hood that
zips away in the collar, and lots of
pockets. It’s a really warm jacket, without
being too heavy.
We have jackets in a range of sizes,
available from the school office for $85.
Eftpos is available and we have payment
options if you wish to layby. This was a
completely student-led innovation and it’s
great to see all their hard work has paid
off.
Order yours now!
Waka Ama Leadership Development Programme
The Student Executive Team, Waka Leaders and the Peer Support Coordinator have had the
opportunity to take part in a Waka Ama Leadership Development Programme. It has been an
amazing experience and we are sincerely grateful for all the effort that Haimona Hale from Tipu
Taitama Voyaging Trust has put into making it happen for us. We go on a journey together from
Dependence on each other - paddling in a 12 person Waka on the river off Owles Terrace, to
Independence - paddling a single person Waka out at Navel Point in Lytttleton, to Interdependence - paddling two 6 person Waka and racing each team.
Waka Ama has been a gateway to a different side of the Maori
culture that we have not experienced before. Waka Ama has
also taught us how the waka will only go forward as long as
everyone will work together as a team. As we come from the
school of Mairehau our crest is a representation of a waka and
the meaning behind this is that we are all on a journey
together. Waka Ama has shown us the practical side of the
meaning behind our school metaphor.
Participating in Waka Ama has benefitted our teamwork and
communication skills by having to stroke in synchronization
with one another. This has developed a better community spirit
and taught us to respect each other more. We have also
gained more confidence in each other’s abilities.
During Waka Ama some people were pushed to what we
thought were our limits but encouraged each other to continue
to go further, thus building a stronger connection through our
teamwork in Waka Ama. We experienced sore arms, backs
and muscles from pushing ourselves harder than we usually
would in day-to-day activities. However we had plenty of fun.
Haimona was very supportive and encouraged us to put in
100% even when we felt like 10%; that always made us
pumped to go back the following week.
We wish that all our peer students could be offered the same
experiences that we have had. They have been a real highlight
to our final year here at Mairehau High School.

COMMUNITY / WHANAU WORKING BEE
On behalf of the Environment Team I would like to thank the staff,
students and parents who assisted with the Community / Whanau
Working Bee which was held on Saturday 1st April. The weather was
perfect and a great morning was had by all.
Special thanks to John and Crissie McCartney and to Ange Marshall for
providing a much needed and appreciated morning tea. Also to Libby
Overend (ex Student) for coming in and making delicious barista
coffees that kept us going!
This event could not have happened without the support of parents and
whanau. The grounds look great and are well prepared for the winter
months. Roll on Spring when we will be planning another one.

SCHOOL FEE PAYMENTS
We would like to thank you
for your payment of school
fees and donations. Your
financial support helps us
continue in our mission,
makes our school excel and
be a great place to study.
Please remember, you can
claim an income tax credit
from IRD. Because both the
"donations" and payment of
"school fees" go to the
school's general fund, you
can claim 33% of the total
payments you have made to
MHS as income tax credit.
This is an excellent way to
put more money back into
your pocket. We thank you
again for your ongoing
support which helps to make
a difference to your and other
children’s life at Mairehau
High School.
