Girls’ Hockey 2018

by

Congratulations to our girls’ hockey team who finished the season off with a convincing 5-1 win to take out third place in our division. We played 15 games this season and came away with 12 wins and scored 88 goals. It has been a rewarding team to coach; some existing players stepped up to new levels, some new players have provided exciting opportunities for the future, and the team as a whole exceeded my expectations. Thank you to the girls for the hard work and dedication they have put in this season. I’m really blessed to have a great bunch of girls with no dramas! Thank you to the parents and supporters for all the pickups, drop-offs and sideline support and a big thank you to our team manager Rachel Paki for her time, effort, patience and love.

Special thank you to Abbey Smith who has led by example and done an excellent job of captaining our team this year. Along with Abbey, we say farewell to our two other Year 13 girls – Stella Murchie and Kiata Mori. We will miss the three of you very much and I have loved having you girls in the team.

I have two special mentions, the first is Piper Fuller for stepping up to the challenge of playing goalie this season. It’s always hard to find someone to play goalie but Piper was keen from the start and has great athletic ability. Piper has had a great first season and we look forward to her growing further in skill and confidence next season. The second is Macy Paki who scored a whopping 70 goals over the 15 games. An outstanding effort by a talented young player! As the centre-forward, goal scoring is Macy’s job and as you can tell, she takes this job very seriously!

Hockey runs from Term 2 to halfway through Term 3 and we’ll be looking for a few new players next season. So if you’re keen to join a dedicated, fun team and play a real sport, come see me.

Beaven

Beaven Ganaii Y12

“Beaven Wavisause Ganaii is an international boarding student at Longburn Adventist College since 2016. When he first arrived he “knew that this school (LAC) would help him with his education, give him many opportunities and grow his relationship with Jesus.”

Beaven loves sports such as touch rugby, soccer, and basketball. His favourite subjects are maths, physics, and history. He is involved in afterschool soccer training every Tuesday and represents the school in competitions.

He said “I wear our blue soccer uniform with pride, and I play to the best of my abilities. The school has taught me to control my temper and to be resilient.”

I look up to Beaven because he is successful in his academic career and I’m hoping he will be nominated Headboy next year.”

Silent Art Auction

by

The silent auction was a great hit!

Students work available for bidding was up and interactive activities for all to join in with. Overall the event raised around $1300 with the highest bidding painting going for $100 which was Nikkita Cheesman’s horse portrait.

Some of the interactive activities included a doodle table and a mural painting for all to partake in. Students actively got involved in these which was great to see. It was a great event to connect with the community and celebrate students creativity.

A huge thanks go out to Miss Caitlin Leach and her baking team, the students that helped set up and pack down, Square Edge arts community, those that submitted work and lastly all the bidders that made this a fun and successful evening.

Thank you once again.
