Well, winter is starting to make its presence felt with some cold temperatures and snow on the hills. It’s a good time to be thinking about winter uniform to keep warm. School Jackets can and should be worn on those cold and wet days. The uniform guidelines are a plain navy jacket and which can be purchased at a reasonable price from Darfield High School and The Warehouse.

In my last comment I mentioned the up and coming Stage Challenge performance. I wanted to take the opportunity to congratulate the crew on their performance and results. The Time after Time performance gained three awards on the night. They were awarded the Ministry of Youth Development Student-Led Award, Excellence in Choreography and the 5+ a Day Award of Excellence for School Initiative. What never ceases to amaze me, is the amazing leaders that we have within our student community. It is fantastic to see these students using the skills they have developed over the years to put together a totally student-developed performance of such high quality: something we are very proud of at Darfield High School.

On another note, we are about to embark on some large property works around the school. Work will begin after Queen’s Birthday weekend with new winders, toilets and a fresh coat of polyurethane in the School Hall. A Block will be getting all new windows, classrooms will be relined and carpeted, and the Science labs are getting a facelift too. The Gymnasium floor is up for a sand and new lines put down, and the Food Technology Block will be undergoing a complete refurbishment. On top of that, there will be automation of the boiler and an upgrade of the dust extraction unit in the Workshop. This will be ongoing for some time and there will be disruption to classes. We are working to minimise those and we are looking forward to utilising these new and refurbished buildings later in the year.

Mauriora koutou—Good health to you all.

Maths, Murder and Mystery

Once again, the Maths Department is out having fun! Teams of students were flying around the school gathering clues to the Murder Mystery they needed to solve. Hidden around various areas of the school were QR Codes that needed to be found and then read with their cell phones before they could move on to the next clue. Following on from the Amazing Race held last term, this exercise teaches them to problem solve and makes Maths fun!

Four of our very musical students were very happy to be able to visit Sheffield and Springfield Schools, giving primary school children a chance to listen to them playing and also to have a go on their intruments.

Emma Grigg, Sarah Baker, and Ellen and Leigh Walters, took their violin, cello, saxophone, clarinet and a couple of extra cellos and small violins, for students to try out. On Tuesday 10 June, the group will be going into Christchurch for the National Secondary Schools’ Chamber

Music Competition and they welcomed the opportunity to play to the students. Playing Pirates of the Caribbean, arranged by Sarah Baker, they had a very captive audience and then some willing participants.

Emma is also playing saxophone for another Darfield group taking part next week. Each piece has to be over four minutes—no easy feat. We wish them well, as this is their first time at this competition.

Music for Small Ears

On the early morning of Friday 16 May, the Stage Challenge dancers, organisers, and teachers set off to the CBS Arena for the day; we had all been preparing for the last three months. With spirits running high, we arrived at the Arena to find, this year, we had our very own room, instead of the freezing cold moving bay we were usually dumped in. To our dismay, when we were led to our room, it was about the size of the school canteen.

The first thing on our list was to attend our school’s only practice on the stage before the big show. We ran through our dance a total of three times, practising with lighting, music and stage faces. Directly after our rehearsal, we had the first production meeting of the day. The MC had the whole arena up and dancing. Our teacher, Ms Blakemore, along with the other schools’ teachers, was invited up onto the stage to dance for our placing in the programme for the night. We were given number eight. This seemed like a great number but then we realised it meant eight over all, really we were first for our high school class.

The hair and make-up started at about one, carrying through until the show started at seven. We were told the show had started. Nerves were running high as the dancers got into their costumes. We had a team talk, and before we knew it, Kate was introducing our act.

Overall the day was amazing. The performance couldn’t have been any better. We unfortunately didn’t receive a placing but we were delighted to find out we were awarded Excellence for Student Led, Excellence for School Initiative, and Excellence for Choreography. The day was a win for all of us.

Here we are again at the beginning of Winter, when tradition rules it is time to fire up our singing voices and get a bit of the old competitive streak happening. Now we know many of you think you’re too cool for singing, but wait until the whole school is in the Hall at the big singing finale, and the atmosphere is just electric! By then you won’t be caring about anyone seeing you singing, you’ll already be holding that House Cup aloft celebrating with your team members - well in your mind you will!

This year, the powers that be have pulled a pretty neat song out of the hat. This year it is Wagon Wheel all round—there’ll be no song for each house—it’s a “may the best house win!”

So…you’ve now got a whole weekend of practising in front of your mirror, in the shower and even getting the family together for a little fun, before Tuesday House Singing, by which time you’ll be belting the words out! Although I’m sure it’s already on your Road Trip Playlist. See you at House Singing!

House Singing

At a recent assembly, both junior and senior students enjoyed a visit from ‘Big Al’ Lester. Bushman, hunter, storyteller, police detective and popular author of many hunting books, Big Al engaged his audience with a bit of a yarn about hunting and some insight into his writing career. He likes to write about the great characters he meets and the mistakes he has made during his time in the bush. He also shared with us a little about his philosophy on learning. He said that he had not made the most of his time at school and, to get the job he wanted, had to take up study again at the age of 25. He maintains that it is not enough to know you could learn if you were motivated, he says that employers are looking for evidence that you have learnt something during your time at school.

Al says that everyone has talent and finding your talent or passion is important. His passion is the outdoors, hunting, and sharing stories, which he did with great gusto with a group of Years 8,9,10 and 11 students in Ms Stark’s class. He didn’t start writing until he was in his early 40s and now has produced eight hunting books that are popular both in the book shops and our library. Reserve them now!

‘Big Al’ Lester brings a yarn to school‘Being at school isn’t about learning useful stuff for your future, it’s about showing your employer in the future that you have the ability to learn useful stuff.’

Welcome back to Kathryn Barnhill, Thomas Rowlands and Lois Freemantle, who returned from France last Saturday. Accompanying them is a group of six French students who will be with us for nine weeks. The students were formally welcomed in assembly on Tuesday, and we hope they will have a fantastic time here at Darfield High School. The main reason for their visit is to experience Kiwi culture and try life as a Kiwi student, going to classes and living with families from Kirwee to Springfield. School in New Zealand is a very different experience; in France, there is no Form Time, no assembly, no House system, and no uniform. Sport is not part of school life either, and the buildings are high rises, with no fields or trees, and approximately 2000 students. “Everything is so small!” they said on arrival.

Some students will have the chance to travel around with their host families, and then, at the end of the month, their English teacher will be coming from France, and will take them to Wellington for a week.

The returning DHS students have lots of stories to share and it sounds like they had an amazing time in France. We are looking forward to hearing all about their experience in assembly on Tuesday 24 June.

The inaugural Darfield High School Careers Expo was held on 20 May 2014. It gave the senior students (Years 10 –13) of Darfield High School the opportunity to meet with tertiary institutes to discuss their options for the coming years. Representatives from Canterbury University, CPIT, StudyLink, SIT, NZ College of Early Childhood Education, Aoraki Polytechnic, Avonmore, BCITO, Kiaora Hauora (Careers in Health), NZ Institute of Sport, and Yoobee were available throughout the day to assist students with their questions and concerns.

Located in the hall, all institutes provided prospective students with a variety of

information, including what subjects to take whilst still at school, what courses are available, living options, and related costs and fees.

For the Years 10s, 11s, and 12s it was a great opportunity to become aware of the many tertiary institutes in Christchurch and further afield, and to discuss their interests and ways to make their aspirations become possible. The Year 13 students found it particularly helpful in finalising their decisions on what to do next year, and many of their questions were answered.

On Tuesday 20 May, four of us students from Darfield High School were selected to travel into Christchurch to the Air Force Museum, to attend the 2014 National Young Leaders Day. Abby Thornley, Jemma Dalley, Jack Curle and I were lucky enough to attend this event.

There were five speakers during the day and the first, and my favourite, was Cam Calkoen. He is an Athlete and founder of the Carabiner Mentoring Programme. When someone says something’s a possibility, Cam Calkoen sees it as an opportunity because he was born with Cerebral Palsy and was given a wheelchair at birth, but he chose to go to a physio each day for years so he could be the best that he could be.

Second was Alison Shanks, Commonwealth Games Gold Medallist 2010, World Track Cycling Champion 2009. The Third speaker was Christian Gallen, an Attitude speaker. Fourth was Rachel Taulelei, CEO and founder of Yellow Brick Road. And the final speaker was Jason Gunn, Entertainer and Creative Producer.

This day was a great opportunity to listen to some wonderful, successful speakers who were very stimulating. The main three things that I learnt at this day was DREAM what your life could be then chase that dream! DARE to do the scary brave things that make life an adventure, and DEVELOP your strengths. There is more in you waiting to be discovered.

2014 National Young Leaders’ DayOn Tuesday 20 May, four Year 8 students (Jack Curle, Tom Shipley, Jemma Dalley and Abby Thornley) travelled to the Air Force Museum in Christchurch for the 2014 National Young Leaders’ Day. This year’s theme was 3D. 3Ds stood for DREAM, DARE, DEVELOP. If you can dream it, dare to do it, and develop that idea into reality.

Motivational speakers shared their experiences with us about being a leader or told us that if you dream it, it can be possible. Each speaker told us a story about one of their life changing experiences. The speakers were Cam Calkoen, Alison Shanks, Jason Gunn, Christian Gallen and Rachel Tualelei. We also had a guest band called NOMAD who performed their exclusive new singles. The Hosts of the day were Gemma Knight, from What Now, and Dave, from Attitude.

Throughout the day, we played games and watched parts of movie clips that all had a moral about being a leader. We enjoyed the day thoroughly and we would recommend to any enthusiastic leaders to take the opportunity. Thank you to everyone who made this day possible: we couldn’t have done it without you.

On the 20 May I was lucky enough to be chosen to go to the NYLD 2014 (National Young Leaders’ Day).

We listened to five different leaders who have done well in life.

There was a gold medallist cyclist, Alison Shanks. She actually started out by being a very good netballer but was sick of being stuck on the bench and took up cycling.

Jason Gunn, the owner of Whitebait Studios and a TV presenter, was another speaker. He was bullied at school due to the fact he took drama classes because he wanted to be a TV presenter. Years later, he saw the school bully wearing a cat suit and trying to sell cat food, whilst Jason was now a well known TV presenter.

My favourite speaker was Cam Calkoen. He was born with cerebral palsy and his parents were told that he would have to be in a wheelchair and would never be able to talk properly. His parents took him to physio and speech therapy every day. So there he was standing in front of us talking about life's experiences, including when he went to the Paralympics and competed in the sprints.

On Sunday 25 May, Mrs Hoy’s Year 13 Business Studies class travelled into the Riccarton Market to sell their wonderful products. There are two businesses, Saucy Sisters Red Pepper Chutney and Lemon Curd Co.

We arrived at 8.15 am and set up our stall with our product; many people were interested and some even tried our products and loved it. Later in the morning, sales picked up and people were coming and looking for us but, unfortunately, the sun hid behind the trees and the wind picked up so, at 1.00 pm we decided to pack up before the wind blew us away.

We will be at the market for the next three weeks so, if you would like to come and support Darfield High School or the Starship Foundation (25 cents a jar from any chutney goes to them) and get yourself some of the delicious chutney or lemon curd, come along to the Riccarton Market every Sunday for the next three weeks. Or, you can contact us for orders on lemoncurdco@gmail.com or Saucysisters899@gmail.com if you’d like to place an order.

Wednesday 5 August 1914, France

The sound of the guns moves further and further away, then silence, the first in ages.

Jack and I decide to sneak around the trenches to see what’s going on. Jack scouts ahead of me, always ahead of me. He is strange; he wants to protect me. We walk for what seems like hours. The ground is flooded to our ankles; it’s cold like ice and yet the air is warm.

We come to a corner and pause, listening, no sound, we wait longer then we hear the foot steps. “Run!” Jack shouts. I run back to the corner we just came through and watch, watch as they take Jack by the arms and tie his wrists together as tight as they can; he screams with pain. I see blood drip from his wrists. They push him to the ground. He is silent. The man in front of him puts his gun up. I can’t watch, so I close my eyes. Jack is lying there, his skin pale, the blood pours down his face; he was shot in the head. Tears fill my eyes as a soldier from my country comes to take me back to where everyone else is.

My heart beats fast with hatred and sadness. That was the last time I ever saw Jack, dead on the ground fighting for his country, fighting for me.

40 Hour Famine Weekend was well and truly kicked off at School, beginning with a Mufti Day, followed by a fabulously awesome Disco. DJ Sing Star was truly the star of the night, solidly entertaining everyone for three hours, bringing out all the best music, dance moves, games and entertainment, rewarding a select few with prizes and making sure everyone went home exhausted and on a high. Disco colours turned the hall from its usual assembly gathering place to a rich kaleidoscope of ever-changing lights and hundreds of glowsticks added to the atmosphere.

Photographer, William Gross, was kept really busy; there was a huge demand for portraits and you can see these on the Darfield World Vision Facebook Group page, if you haven’t already. Overall it was a very successful night and it was great to have Danielle and the Youth Group come along as well, with her team of helpers.

Thank you to Mr Dickens, Mrs Oliver, Mr Gerritsen, and Mrs Meder for helping with supper and cleaning. A huge thank you to Mr Singh, for once again, volunteering his time and equipment to ensure our students had another great event. To all those students who accomplished their Famine, well done!

11Issue 8/ DHS Dispatch

Congratulations on completing the 40 Hour Famine, and if you took part in the Mufti Day or Disco, then thank you for supporting the campaign in our school. Every year the money we raise in our school is combined with every other school in New Zealand that takes part. Together we have a fantastic opportunity to make a difference.

The Mufti Day money we raised on Friday 23 May will pay for another year for Immanuel and his family, in Tanzania.

Next week we will add up the money raised at the Disco and begin our wall chart as the sponsorship money comes in over the next two weeks. Please make a huge effort to gather it all up, with your sponsor books, and return to the Office before Friday 20 June.

The Enviroclub has been busy painting the Recycle Centre to promote recycling at school and to make students aware of where the Recycle Centre is. This has been a culmination of a lot of planning and consultation with both Mr Morris and Mr Adams, and has been an ongoing process, starting with the coloured recycling system that was introduced last year: Green for Paper, Red for Landfill and Yellow for Recycle products. The benefit of this is that the more paper we recycle through the system, the more native trees we receive from the Paper for Trees organisation.

The Years 7 and 8s have been designing paper monster posters to put on their recycle bins as part of a competition. This will be judged at the next Enviroclub Meeting. The winner will receive a voucher and their monster will be attached to the bins.

Last week we had Matt Rogers from the Canterbury Rams come along on Monday at lunch time to run a basketball workshop for the senior Girls’ and Boys’ Teams.

Coming in at 6 foot 11 inches Matt felt dwarfed many. He spent time with the teams looking at defence and attacking drills. It was great to have him come and share his skills and enforce the foundation skills we often take for granted.

Matthew Lamar "Matt" Rogers (born December 3, 1987) is an American professional basketball player who currently plays for the Canterbury Rams of the New Zealand National Basketball League. He played college basketball at Southwest Baptist University.

and Managers

The team was a composite team with Ellesmere and included Mark Wilson and Jayden Hann. During the past couple of months, the boys have been involved in match play against other clubs from the Canterbury Area. Our team finished top of the section and then went on to play the semi-finals on Sunday 18 May at Harewood, against Rangiora—winning this 2.5 to 1.5, which set us up for the Finals against Bottle Lake in the afternoon. We squeezed out a draw and then won in the play-off. A great feat for some proud young boys.

Once a month, a professional, Carl Brooking, comes out from town to give lessons. There is a minimal cost for these sessions but the sessions in between that we run with volunteers are free. If you would like more information please contact Pip; she would love to get some more involvement with the High School and golf.

Bob Hayward

Position: Technical SupportHouse: Kikorangi

So, what were you doing 18 years ago? (Were you born yet?) I was just starting work at Darfield High School.

Back then my job involved doing the absences, photocopying, toll accounts—all entirely on paper—and occasionally using a computer. Other than photocopying, pretty much everything else about my job has now changed. And become digital.

I got my first computer in 1984 and have been hooked ever since. I mainly just mess around with graphics, video and a bit of programming, mostly self-taught. It’s the things I’ve learned from this hobby that have had the most influence on the way my job has changed.

Who can make a digital version of this document? Who can get this video to play in assembly? Who can get my computer working again? Ask Bob.

I grew up in Christchurch and used to bike everywhere. I now live in Sheffield and drive. I like a bit of music, mainly blues, movies that leave you wondering what it was all about, and trashy detective novels from the 1950s.

My favourite colour is blue. Which works out well, being in Kikorangi.
