A New Term, an opportunity for a New Beginning Ko tōu reo, ko tōku reo, te tuakiri tangata. Tīhei uriuri, tīhei nakonako. Your voice and my voice are expressions of identity. May our descendants live on and our hopes be fulfilled. Kia ora koutou katoa Term 1 was an especially long term so the break was most welcome. It enabled the staff time to prepare for Term 2 and to participate in excellent professional learning and development. It’s great to return to school and to hear that most of our students also had a wonderful holiday. The following are exerts from the first school assembly of the term: ANZAC Firstly, I’d like to thank the senior student leaders, the Fraser Cadet Unit and other service cadets who represented Fraser at the ANZAC commemoration services during the break. One of the extremely proud moments for Fraser was the speech delivered by Connor Stewart, our Head Boy. He did a fantastic job and his contribution to the day enriched the special occasion for all who attended. LEAD One of the things we try to do often at Fraser is to teach and learn to be accountable for our actions. If you make good choices then you deserve to receive good outcomes or consequences for your actions. And we
need to celebrate and acknowledge the individuals who make good choices and succeed because of them. To help us to make good choices that will benefit each individual at Fraser, we are constantly reminded and encouraged to live the following basic principles: LEARN with purpose ENGAGE with pride ACT with respect DARE to succeed showing perseverance and integrity at all times. However if you make bad and poor choices you deserve justice, which may include punishment or restorative consequences and outcomes. Justice includes concepts such as fairness, mercy and compassion once all the facts have been considered. Punishment is usually in the form of impositions, detentions, stand-downs and suspension. Restorative justice is another consequence of making wrong choices. What this simply means is for you ‘to fix the wrong you committed or give back the respect and integrity’ to the person you offended because of your bad choice. Essential to restorative justice is to firstly, acknowledge that you did wrong in the first place. Secondly, recognise the effect upon the victim. Thirdly accept that you are responsible for fixing the problem because it is your problem, and lastly, act by fixing the situation as much as is reasonable. When the Board of Trustees Disciplinary

Committee consider each suspension case they must weigh and deliberate thoroughly upon each case to ensure there is justice served to the offender and justice given to the victim(s). The Principal is not part of the Disciplinary Committee to avoid accusations of retribution or retaliation decisions being made. When a student returns from either a Stand Down or a Suspension, the school’s focus is to support the student to make the right choices from here on in. The student’s friends are responsible for reminding the student to live by Fraser’s basic principles: LEARN with purpose, ENGAGE with pride, ACT with respect and DARE to succeed with integrity and perseverance. This is all we ask and expect of everyone who learns and works at Fraser; and if an individual succumbs to another bad choice then it is up to the rest of the school community to support and help them to get back on track and move forward; to learn, progress and achieve. One of the best things about a new term is that we can make a new start again and improve our condition at school. During the break I read a book called ‘The Ant and the Ferrari’ – it was about thinking, challenging false beliefs and truth. A quote I’d like to share with you is: One of the most important things a person can do in life is to take in new information (and experiences) and change the way they think (and do things). This term, every one of us should take up the challenge and change the way we think and act to improve our position at school, in our personal life, to make things better. Not stay the same, but to think and do better. To all our students, have an excellent term at Fraser.

BP Business Challenge an Exciting Experience
The Year 11 Business Studies students joined with students from Melville High School on a three day BP Business Challenge in week one of Term 2. The Business Challenge is offered to selected schools and conducted by the Young Enterprise, a charitable trust. The aim of the organisation, through the Business Challenge, is to develop enterprising young New Zealanders. Our students were put in mixed groups of Melville and Fraser High School students to form business entities where they were expected to come up with an innovative product. Then they were to formulate business plans comprising marketing, finance and advertising components to present to eminent judges from the community. It was a real pleasure to see students blossom from shy and timid individuals to confident and assertive presenters on the final day. The opportunity to enact real life scenarios was an enriching experience for the students. All of them felt it was fun and they learnt how a business is run.

Fraser High Students mentor Maeroa Pasifika Group
Alex Tarrant-Keepa Ex Fraser student , Alex Tarrant-Keepa (Deputy Head Boy, 2008) [above], graduated from Toi Whakaari New Zealand Drama School in 2012 with a Bachelor of Performing Arts. Since then Alex has travelled to Fiji and Sydney with the Conch Theatre Company, performing in the play ‘Masi’. The tour to Sydney was part of the International Arts Festival in January 2013, and allowed Alex to perform alongside some of the most outstanding Theatre Companies in the world. Alex returned to New Zealand to join a Theatre group from France called Group F, who opened the Auckland Arts Festival with their show ‘Breath of the Volcano’. Alex is now with the Red Leap Theatre Company who are currently touring Taiwan and Macau, performing the play ‘The Arrival’. We celebrate Alex’s successes and wish him well for many more to come.
Karyn Grey, teacher in charge of the Pasifika students at Maeroa Intermediate school, has been impressed by four amazing students from Fraser High, who have been assisting with the coaching of the Maeroa Haka Hiva group. “I would like to say how much our group has appreciated the mentoring from Avasa Petaia, Teuteu Eukaleti, Mele Faletau and Andrea Faletau,” says Karyn. “They have encouraged our students and are really getting the best Avasa out of them. Already we have a girls and boys group singing in harmony with Mele and Lea, a group learning a boy’s Tongan dance with Teuteu, a girl’s group learning dancing with Avasa and a drumming group. Our Haka Hiva Teuteu has never run so smoothly and we are so amazed at the progress they have made after just a few weeks. “I am proud to be the teacher in charge and walk around each group and see the smiling faces, focus, fun and appreciation of Mele culture happening in our school. The fact that these Fraser students are past Maeroa students is fantastic! We have the Youth Variety Concert in May “Just Because” at Clarence Street Theatre and we are lucky to be a part of this again in term two. I know the Andrea students will be well prepared and have an awesome time show casing their talents. “Please know how much I appreciate Fraser High School and the Gateway Programme and the talent that is in our own community.”

The Fraser Cadet Unit participated in a number of community events during, and before, the recent school holidays. They performed their duties in the school ANZAC assembly before the holidays and supported the RSA with selling poppies at the Dinsdale Shopping Centre on the last day of Term 1. With ANZAC day taking place during the break a number of cadets consisting of two Officers, two Under Officers and 15 cadets and their families marched in the Dawn Parade. After breakfast back at school, the cadets travelled
to Raglan to fulfil their Cenotaph duty in Raglan. The cadets on the cenotaph duty were Cadets Norlings, Young and Karena and L/Corporal Martin, with cadet Wilson in reserve. Corporal J Aspin was in charge with Corporal S Worthington having the Honour of raising and lowering the flag. Major Murray Bedchamber together with one of the cadets laid a wreath on behalf of the unit. The cadets fulfilled their duties and responsibilities with courage and honour.
