term 3.

The students were able to learn
through the experience of a pohiri
from the kaitiaki of Ihumatāo. We
then had the pleasure of listening to
korero from Qiane Matata-Sipu and
Hake Wilson, who are mana whenua
of Ihumatao. They explained to the
students the troubled history of
Ihumatao, how the land had been
wrongfully confiscated, polluted
multiple times and then explained
the current situation of Fletchers
and the Special Housing Area that
they are wanting to build on sacred
land.

Our students then had the chance
to meet NZ Race Relations Minister
Meng Foon who happened to be
visiting for the day. Next we heard
korero from Annette Morehu who
is a scriptwriter for Shortland Street.
We then sang a few waiata for the
kaitiaki, got to ask a few questions
and then lent a helping hand by
painting planter boxes and moving
some building material. The most
important aspect of the day was
being on the whenua to gain our
understanding and opinions on
what is happening at Ihumatāo.

Mathematics

This year was an exciting year for the Maths
Department as they were involved in running the
South Auckland Mathematics Competition (SAMC)
for the first time.
The Head of Mathematics, Katalina Ma, was a co-ordinator
of the event and involved our students in the SAMC events
this year.
The final event for the South Auckland Mathematics
Challenge was held here at Māngere College where we
hosted 7 other schools in the area. Our Year 9 and 10 teams
represented our school well and used the opportunity to
prepare for the regional competition. Newshub came along
to the event and interviewed Ms Ma.
“We want them to enjoy maths, I want them to know it’s
cool to do maths, and it’s cool for girls to do it,” Katalina Ma,
SAMC co-ordinator, says.
Math Week for 2019 was held in term 3. This year showed an
increase in participation of staff and students for questions
of the day as well as participating teams for the first
Teachers vs Students mini Mathex competition. The Year 10
team, consisting of 10TI students came out victorious over
the undercover mathematically able PE teachers.

Basketball

Mālō e lelei, and greetings to you all.
Competing weekly, the U19 Boys & U17 Girls Counties Manukau Basketball teams
played a tremendous season this year. Each player represented our school with pride
and played with heart every time they hit the court.

Back Row (L-R): Mara Vaifale, Ramona Mafileo. GIRLS
Front Row (L-R): Ngaire Biddle, Savannah Vaifale, Ruth Williams. BASKETBALL

The U17 Girls Basketball team
were fierce. They played 8
matches, 3 were lost and they
had 5 successful wins.

The girls were devoted during the season,
committed to playing every game.

For 2 matches they had only 5 players and no
subs, but built strong relationships with each
other and some became leaders within the
team.

A quote from one of the girls in the team:
“Throughout this year’s basketball season,
I’ve gained leadership skills. And I am willing
to take that with me into 2020. This season
allowed our players to step up.”

We’d like to thank our Coach - Mara
Maumeasagisagi, Donna Vaifale, Mrs Cossey
and Mr Campbell. Thank you for taking time
to coach, train and support the girls.

Thank you, to all the players who represented
our school this year. You all played amazingly
and you should be proud of yourselves.

- Emalata Kiole

Our U19 Boys’ Basketball team
entered late into the season
and played 10 matches.

It was a tough season for them, but they
gave it their all. We had a dedicated bunch
of players who played hard to the very end.
Throughout this season, the boys built a
strong bond with each other and gained
trust in one another. Our boys placed
8th in the Counties Manukau Basketball
Competition.

We’d like to thank our Coach - Will Pouli,
Manager -Terisa Leaula and Mrs McIntosh.
Thank you for all your hard work, dedication
and for supporting our boys.

played before. Every week we trained hard as

a team, teaching each other new techniques.

We learnt a variety of skills and drills which

helped enhance our stamina, speed and agility -

helping us become great netball players! During

grading rounds, we managed to fight our way

up to B grade. This was a very overwhelming

moment for my teammates and I because we

had new players going up against skilful club

players. Unfortunately during the season we

had dropped down to C grade due to losses.

But despite this, we had continued to give it our

all and managed to take out first place for our

grade!

After all my years of playing netball at Mangere

College, I would recommend for MC students to

join as it is such a great experience.

Congratulations to our team for winning Team

of the Year at the MC Sports Awards Evening.

1st XV Boys Rugby

The team always aimed to
maintain the vision of our
school motto ‘Seek the Heights’
in their approach to their
games.

This year we had a great start to the season
as we beat Mt Roskill Grammar. Our results
suffered later in the year due to the loss of
a few experienced senior players. Although
we did not reach our winning goals, we
were able to build a strong team spirit, great
friendships, respect for each other, goodwill
and a determination to improve.
We are extremely grateful to Coach Willie
Masters our Coach, Manager Parwati Reddy
and a committed team of parents and
supporters who were there to encourage
and cheer for our boys. Without these
strong pillars, we would not have been able
to achieve and function as a successful
team. They stood by the team and gave
invaluable moral and financial support
during the last two years even in the rain,
cold and difficult conditions.
We are grateful to our parents, families,
teachers and supporters who came to
watch and support us during the games.

Māngere College
Supporters

Māngere College continues to be very grateful to our local businesses and individuals who provide
financial support to our students. This commitment helps Māngere College students achieve to their
potential.
The artistic talents of Māngere College students continue to be used to help recognise our major
sponsors. Framed artworks are gifted to our major sponsors each year. The artworks, which now hang
in boardrooms, foyers and the offices of leading businesses, give clear recognition to the support
provided to Māngere College students.
Financial support allows us to provide three groups of scholarships each year:

• The Māngere College Entrance Scholarships cover most of the costs associated with starting as
a Year 9 student at Māngere College.

• The Māngere College Senior Scholarships are awarded to deserving Year 10 students. These are
worth $500 and are used by the recipients to cover the cost of NZQA fees, uniform and other
school costs over their senior years.

• Year 13 students can apply for the Māngere College Leavers' Scholarships. These awards are
valued at up to $1500 to assist students to meet the costs of tertiary study.
