EVENTS DURING 2021
OUR YEAR 8 STUDENTS

Waterwise

- by Leo A, Leo B and Logan

Waterwise was split into three different groups. Those groups were
then split again when it was their turn to go on the water. The two
activities were optimist sailing and kayaking. The sailing included
going round marks and generally learning how to control the boat.
The kayaking group would follow the instructor down the shoreline
of Okahu bay until they reached a post on the other side of the bay.
During this time all of us were splashing our friends and getting
them wet with the kayak paddle. It was really fun. Then the group
would race back to shore as fast as they could.
On land, there was an activity booklet to do. Some of the tasks from
the booklet were:
- create your own landmark
- compare the old and the now St Heliers (for this activity we learnt
a lot about the past of our area
- take photos (relating to a theme), that would then be used to make
a collage.
The weather on the day was great. The sun was shining and there
was plenty of wind to make the optis go fast. Everyone really enjoyed
the sailing and tried their hardest. Kayaking was a great laugh when
everyone came out soaking wet. We think everyone learnt lots from
the experience and can't wait to go there again.

Year 8 Camp

- by Emily, Joshua, Vahid, Yufeng, Caleb, Lola, Freddy, Hugo

Deep in the Hunua Ranges lies a camp so great, that the Year 8’s get to go there every year. It's the one
and only CAMP ADAIR. Filled with all we needed, Camp Adair was the highlight for Year 8. Camp was
filled with many little details, like playing infinity tag with the whole of Year 8 into the night, or washing
the dishes and, in my experience, getting absolutely sprayed. But enough about the small things, what
about the bigger picture? At Camp Adair, there is a mudslide - a slide of running water that pushes you
down into mud. Most Year 8 students enjoyed this, and many went up 2, 3, and even 4 times. People
would give tips on how to go down the slide faster, and at the end of the slide, a ginormous ditch of
muddy water was waiting for you! The mudslide was enjoyed by many, and some would even say that it
was better than the confidence course.

The confidence course is by far the best way
to have some fun and get muddy. We start off
with the dry activities like linking hands and
going backwards through a cage, and then
screaming the song twinkle twinkle little star.
But of course at some point we have to get
absolutely drenched in mud, and that is when
we go up and down, into and out, of the mud
racing each other. Then we move onto the
rope swing where we have to swing through
mud and make it to the other side without
falling in. Then by far my favorite tire, this is
where you have to jump from tire to tire to
make it to the other side. And then last but
not leave a well deserved hot shower.

The food at Camp Adair was
delicious, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
For dinner we ate nachos, burgers
and butter chicken. Breakfast
consisted of cereal such as rice
bubbles and cornflakes. It wasn't just
cereal though, there was spaghetti
and baked beans. You can’t go a day
without dessert either, dessert was
mostly delicious ice cream on the
first night, the second was a cold ice
cream sandwich and finally the last
night a cold custard with canned
fruits. For all the fun activities we
needed fuel throughout the day, so
lunch was our go to.

Cabins are basically the alternative to bedrooms except there are ten people in one cabin. We slept here
but other than that not much happened in the day - it was just storage. We got to choose our cabin
group. Every morning the teachers would come and wake us up at 6:30am. No one got enough sleep
with 10 o'clock bedtimes. Every day the teachers checked our cabins for an X-factor - something to
impress the judges. Overall it was fun (sleeping in the cabins was a good experience).
Everyone was prepared for skit night. It was time to shine.
Time to whip out the costumes and the hysteric facial
expressions. Some were too eager to get on stage, while
others grew a deep fear about performing in front of
others. Skit night started with almost everyone shaking
in their seats. Each group had put a lot of time and effort
into the skits, and the pressure was on to impress not
only the students, but the teachers as well. The bachelor,
a day at camp, funky penguins got no talent, and a day at
school, are only some of the spectacular skits performed
to us. After tears of joy and laughter, people sat back in
their seats knowing that the night was about to come to
an end. However, to much surprise, each parent came out
in a full army outfit. They began to sing a different version
of the song YMCA, and it was very shocking knowing
they had such short notice to prepare. But wait, that's
not all. The teachers had to perform a skit too. The lights
had flickered off and everyone went silent. Music started
to boom and the teachers crept out from the corner with
glow sticks stuck to their body - it looked as though they
were little glow stick people. Every teacher started to bust
out some moves, making it hard not to smile. Before the
night ended, the teachers announced the winners of the skits. It wasn’t a surprise when they exclaimed
the winners were the funky penguins with the act, funky penguins got no talent. Skit night was clearly a
big highlight of everyone's Year 8 camp 2021.

Imagine this: a 15 meter high wobbly pole that you have to
climb. When you get to the top, you feel like a bird. Then
the instructor yells the hardest order to follow, ‘jump’. As
you anxiously jump off it feels like time stopped. You come
back to the real world when the ropes squeeze tight on you,
finishing the pamper pole. Right next to that is the multi
vine. Climbing up the tree makes you feel like tarzan, and
swinging from rope to rope is the true forest feeling. When
you come down from up top the mission impossible music
plays in your head. Finishing that a true challenge comes up
ahead. The abseiling is tricky, yet extremely fun. After using
the ladder to climb to the top you get clipped in, get ready
and abseil down like a scene out of mission impossible.
Flashlights off, holding on tight, ready to face the world. As
we swarmed quietly through the dark pebble paths, Year 8
slowly approached the grim alley that was the glow worm
trail. After what seemed to be years of anticipation, we
walked into the colorless night in a single file line holding
tight onto whoever was in front of us, not daring to let go;
we slowly strolled in gazing at the blue dotted glow worms
spread out amongst the bushes, we took a large circle and
came back out. We then waited to go onto the Burma trail
which was an extremely bumpy but fun dark path where all
we had for guidance was a rope, and a lot of confidence.
Eventually we made it out safely and by then, we were ready
to go to bed.

Sports

Swimming Sports

- By Chloe Powell
Swimming Sports is a very important day in the school calendar as it is very social, while also allowing
the serious swimmers to compete for a spot in Eastern Zones. There are four styles of swimming you can
do - butterfly, backstroke, freestyle or breaststroke. The students have a choice of what stroke they would
like to do, but everyone must compete. SHS Swimming Sports is very competitive, but everyone still has
fun. The four houses competing were Whero, Khowai, Kakariki and Kikorangi. Each house had their own
individual chant - all houses screaming their chants as loud as possible for bonus house points.
We went into the pool with our voices and came
back puffed and silent. The following Y8 students
went through to Eastern Zones: Yfke Lotte,
William, Connor, Amelia M, Rikus, Logan, Olivia
and Emily. Not everyone got the opportunity to
go, as you need to get either 1st or 2nd place
in two lengths, but everyone tried their hardest
and all did very well. All houses did well but at
the end of the day, Kakariki ended up winning.

Cross Country 2021

- By Amelia Morris and Edward Mitchelson
On the 10th of August, Year 4 to 8 had Cross Country.
This was held at Churchill Park. Each year group ran
around a track marked by parents. Year 8 left school
at 10:40am. We walked and got there as the Year 7
girls were finishing. This meant we had to wait around
for a little bit because we were early. The Year 8 girls
went first running - 2 laps - and the top 8 girls were
Mimi, Olivia, Jessica, Emily, Hannah, Anna, Amelia and
Isabella. All the girls were very tired, though they still
cheered on the boys when they crossed the finish line
after them. The top 8 boys were Jakob, Riley, Aleksei,
William, Christian, Rikus, Edward and Finlay. Everyone
showed great sportsmanship, tried their best, and
made an effort by turning up and giving it their all. The
teachers were very generous and handed out lollipops
to everyone for doing an amazing job. Overall it was
a great day - everyone ran well and were very proud
of themselves.

Boys Football

On the 3rd of June the Year 8 Boys Football Tournament began - our first game was against St Thomas’s.
The entire team was very nervous, but we had a positive mindset. Sadly the other team made an incredible
comeback to bring the score level at 2-2. Our second game was against Kings Prep, and sadly we had to take
a loss in this game. Next up we are against Stonefields. We beat this team with a solid 8-0 performance. If we
wanted a chance to qualify for the next round, we had to win all of our next games - which we did - Churchill
Park (4-0) and Kohimarama (7-0).
In the next round, we faced St Kentigern Boys School. We were pleasantly surprised to find that Mrs Ward
and Mr Christie had turned up for this game. We took a loss (5-1), which eliminated our chance of going to the
final. We then qualified for the 3rd and 4th playoff, again against Kings Prep. At the end of that game, Kings
celebrated and cheered as they came 3rd in the Eastern Zones Football tournament.
Our coach cheered us up, saying we did very well and represented our school perfectly. Overall we played well
and thought we deserved 3rd place, but unfortunately we came 4th.

Girls Football

The girls football tournament was a great place to challenge
ourselves against other schools. On Wednesday the 26th
of May one team of Year 8, and one team of Year 7 went
to Madills Farm to represent our school in the Eastern Bays
girls football tournament. At Madills Farm there were about
8 schools such as: St Heliers School, Glendowie Primary,
Baradene, Stonefields, Parnell, Churchill Park and Ellerslie
Primary. Our Year 8 team played 4 schools over the whole
day. First we played Glendowie Primary and we lost 3-2.
Then we played Parnell and we lost 2-1. Next we played
Ellerslie and we won 5-1, and lastly we played Glendowie
Year 7 winning 3-2. Unfortunately we did not get to play in
the finals, but that's ok because we all played really hard and
we played as a team.
This tournament was a great experience for many of us. I
think we all learned a lot from it and had a great time. We all
pushed each other to get an even better result. This was a
great day with lots of fun and lots of giving it a good go.

2021 Writers Festival

- By Anna Sutherland, Mirahkle Lio Jones, Milena Scott & Simone Corballis
The Auckland Writers Festival at the Aotea Centre, was a very enjoyable event for the Year 7&8 students. Four speakers
showed us their work, and all had entertaining stories in their presentations. The first author, Brian Selznick, talked about his
artwork and four of his books (one of which was made into the movie ‘The Invention of Hugo Cabret’). The next author was
Shilo Kino, a young Maori woman, who last year released a book called ‘The Porangi Boy’. She had been bullied as a child for
how she looked, and her book is about a Maori boy who goes through some of the same troubles that she experienced. Ten
years ago Jessie O wrote a book called ‘Locked Down’. Because we are experiencing something very similar with COVID-19,
she recently republished the book. Ben Brown, although not an author, talked to us about his opinions on some books. He
was very enthusiastic and his opinions were quite entertaining to hear. The Writers Festival was a brilliant experience - very
inspirational, and even entertaining at one point.

- By Olivia Grace
During May, a group of Year 7 & 8 students were selected to participate in
the ‘Win With Words’ writing workshop. We were driven down to the St
Heliers Bowling Club, and eagerly waited to see what all of this excitement
about writing was about. We walked past the people doing lawn bowls
and were directed upstairs to a room right above the lawn bowls. It was a
sunny day, and the view from the room was amazing. We could see right
out to Rangitioto. Sitting down at a desk, we were greeted by Melinda
Szymanic, a popular children and adult author, who was ready to fill us all
up with her amazing knowledge of writing.

Melinda began the workshop by introducing herself, and asking us a few
questions about our prior knowledge of writing. She gave us so much
information, our hands were frantically trying to keep up with everything
she said. We wanted to get it all on paper to look back on later. She read
us one of her books, which was so amazing - a fantasy about a boy and a
crocodile. Melinda talked to us about all the techniques she used, language
and so much more. She instructed us on how to structure a story and how
to get ideas. How to make a character interesting, and so much more. We
came back from the workshop with so many ideas for upcoming stories,
and so much new information we can incorporate into our writing. We
really enjoyed the workshop, and were glad we got the opportunity to go.

The Police Fitness Challenge was amazing. Arriving on the day with a strong sense that we were going to win, this day was going to be great.

During May, four Year 8 students (Riley Leith, Emily Stanton, Anna Sutherland and Charlie Webb) were selected to compete in a Police
Fitness challenge at the Auckland Netball Stadium in St Johns. The first activity we participated in was the hardest. It was an obstacle
course that took around 2:30 minutes for us to complete. It started with pushing a trailer, then running around the stadium once before
reaching a beam, which we walked across in single file. When the last person reached the end, we sprinted, and jumped over a bar about
stomach height. We ran around cones, and ducked under hurdles. There was a window frame to climb through, walls to scale, and more,
all while sticking with, and helping, your team.

After this, we had another test of teamwork, yet this one was slightly different. One of the four of us was a policeman, and had to stand,
blindfolded, at the front of a narrow path littered with evidence. There was one witness, who was somebody watching the policeman, and
telling another team member who was with them what to tell the dispatcher, who was a team member facing away from the situation,
where to tell the policeman to move through a walkie talkie. It was a lot less complicated in real life! The policeman had to pick up some
gloves off the ground and put them on, then pick up an evidence bag and a ball, before crossing a line and making it back to your team.
We came first of our group for that.

Lastly, we had a short test, which was pretty straightforward and simple. First, you would jump next to a measuring wall, to see how high
you can reach. We didn’t do very well on that one. The next was a grip test, where we squeezed this device as hard as we could, and it
measured how strong our grip was. We did surprisingly well in that. Finally, we had to do as many pushups as we could, and somebody
counted us. To get into the Police Force in real life, women have to do twenty, and men have to do around thirty-five. It was a very fun day,
although pretty exhausting. - By Anna Sutherland

My favourite memory was everything about St Heliers. The
first day I came I didn’t know what to do. It was all so new to
me, but then my friends helped me get through it. My friends
have been a big part of my life and have always made me laugh
whenever I’m down. The school trips would always make my day
and the people would always look out for me. Year 8 had many
opportunities and the teamwork was amazing. St Heliers has
truly been my home and I will miss it so much.
