Headmaster’s Newsletter 8 July

Tēnā koutou katoa!

Ngā manaakitanga o te runga rawa ki runga i a tātou, kia pai tō koutou wā whakatā, hoki oranga mai hei te wahanga tuatoru. Mauri ora nui

We are preparing for Chinese Evening as I write: if the dress rehearsal was a guide, the evening should be wonderful! I’m really looking forward to it. The Father-Son Breakfast yesterday was our largest-ever, and everyone enjoyed the words of Darren Shand, the All Blacks manager: he talked about individual responsibility, and about sharing the high expectations of those around you, about seeking out those who challenge you. It was a really good morning.

I should probably mention student achievement this week as well. We’re waiting for the national Leavers’ data to be published for 2015, and last week there were some inaccurate details published by a magazine. Last year, 94% of our Year 11 students achieved Level 1 or the Cambridge equivalent, 90% of our Year 12 students achieved Level 2, and 94% of our students achieved Level 3. As nearly all of our students stay in school until the end of Year 12, and around 90% of our students stay until the end of Level 3, these are results to make all of our students proud.

I hope everyone has a good rest this holiday, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back at the start of next term.

Regards
A B Reed
Acting Headmaster

All Blacks Manager Shand Impresses at Father Son Breakfast

The breakfast was the largest ever hosted at Westlake and all guests enjoyed a substantial breakfast before settling in to listen to “Shandy” reveal some insights into his personal career from Hawke’s Bay schoolboy to All Blacks Manager, a position he has held for 12 years.

Shand’s presentation was titled ‘Performance Under Pressure’; this being the essence of what makes the All Blacks the best at what they do i.e. when the going gets tough, the All Blacks are trained to perform to their best rather than succumb to the pressure.

The All Black culture must surely be the envy of teams the world over. Shand shared that the cultural X factors are defined by superior results that have distinctive impact with long-lasting endurance. The resulting performances deliver hard-earned enduring relationships and inspirational outcomes.

• Key features of the All Blacks Culture
• Shand’s top tips on Leadership

Brain Bee Challenge

The Brain Bee is a neuroscience competition; students involved need to learn about brain architecture and function, homeostatic mechanisms, nervous systems, and other complex biology. The four-man team did not progress to the final on the day, but Stefan made the individual final where he held his nerve and emerged as the winner. He will now go on to represent New Zealand at the Australasia Brain Bee final in Hobart, Australia, in December.

Enviro Council Project

Our Enviro Council students, Kunj Mehta, Kunj Joshi, Haodong Bai and James Park have recently been working with Kaipatiki Project and Verran Eskdale Restoration Group, planting trees and learning about native trees, weeds and pest trapping.

The students plan to take part in further planting days on 9^th July at Hobsonville Point and 13^th August at Eskdale Reserve.  Further information can be found at:

Westlake Production “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” 26-30 July 2016

This “…Dream”, however, will be quite different, as the production will incorporate both Physical Theatre and Tikanga/Te Ao Māori, to bring audiences a version of the play that is youthful, vital, energetic, playful and truly bicultural.   Unusually, the production will be played with the audience on three sides, partly simulating the experience of Shakespeare’s original Globe Theatre. Furthermore, the first row of each of the three audience tiers will be “Rumpus Zones”, allowing audience members close contact with the actors, as if they were groundlings at the Globe Theatre.

The production is brought to you by the same students and creatives who staged the thought-provoking and multi-award winning “Assassins”, by Stephen Sondheim, in 2015.

Date Change Westlake Boys 2016 Graduation Dinner – Friday 2 December

Please note that, as the result of a clash with another event that will impact many of our school leavers and staff, the date for the 2016 Westlake Boys’ Graduation Dinner has been changed. The event will now be held on Friday 2nd December from 7pm.

The original date, Saturday 26th November, is the date of the ‘Walking for the Stars’ event communicated by Steve McCracken last week as a fundraising event in memory of Bev Russell. With many of this years’ leavers and their families and several staff members wishing to support Keegan and the Russell family, it was decided to move Graduation Dinner to the alternative date of Friday 2nd December (Saturday 3rd December was considered but is the date of the ColdPlay concert at Mt Smart … another clash for many members of our school community!).

Westlake Boys’ Graduation Dinner offers an important opportunity to share a celebration that officially recognises the completion of the students’ years at Westlake Boys High School. This special event also presents an opportunity to officially farewell departing students and wish them well for their futures as Westlakers.

If you and your son are planning to attend this year’s Graduation Dinner make sure that the new date of FRIDAY 2nd DECEMBER is marked in your calendars.  Further information about the Graduation Dinner will follow in Term 3.

Westlake Sport  

Basketball Results 1 July

WBHS Premier 75 vs Mt Albert Grammar School 51

Just like the first match-up earlier in the season, the game was low scoring throughout the first half. Both teams were defending well and gathering their defensive rebounds. Offensively Westlake were moving the ball and creating good looks, but they were not always able to get the ball into the bottom of the net. Captain Isaac Letoa was leading from the front on the offensive end, driving hard inside and connecting on his jump shot from both outside and inside the arc. He lead all scorers at the break with 16 points; behind this Westlake was holding onto the lead by 7, 29 – 22.

Westlake came out of the halftime break keen to push their lead. Behind some impressive defensive pressure Lake managed to force turnovers and push the ball for easy buckets. The starting guards Letoa, Reuben Fitzgerald and Marc Malingin were too quick in transition for the MAGS defence and pushed Westlake’s lead into double figures. Beautiful offensive ball movement lead to a big 3-pointer from James Moors and his frontcourt mate Thabo Manyere grabbed a couple of easy buckets. Josh Hidalgo and Scott Telfer came off the bench and continued the momentum, playing some fantastic defence, forcing fouls and hitting shots. MAGS found it hard to contain Westlake in this period when they got out and ran. Westlake had pushed their lead to 18, and headed into the final quarter 52 – 34 up.  Continue reading here…

 Westlake Premier League through to CRL Semi Finals

Westlake Boys Premier League team secured a top four spot in the CRL competition for the first time in the school’s history by overcoming Wesley College 24-12 at their home turf. The team knew that they had to defeat Wesley and hope that other results would go their way to make the semi-finals in Term 3.

Westlake started poorly with Wesley scoring in their first set of the game but the home team replied almost immediately with a stunning 80 metre individual try to Ariki Hood Kaitapu. From that point on Westlake stepped up the pressure with a smart kick and chase game to keep Wesley at their end of the field. The pressure on Wesley told with Lotu Inisi crashing over deep into the first half to give the home side a halftime lead of 10-6.

The second half started well when Westlake scored early to extend their lead to 14-6. That lead increased shortly after when Zae Wallace scored taking the score to 18-6. Unfortunately, unforced errors saw Wesley gain more possession which eventually enabled them to score out wide and convert to reduce the margin to 18-12. But Westlake failed to fold under the growing pressure and scored a well worked try out wide by Ariki Hood Kaitapu, sealing the victory 24-12.

Rugby Results 2 July

WBHS 1^st XV vs Rosmini College 1^st XV by Trey Tupu-South

After losing to Westlake earlier in the season, Rosmini demonstrated a clear determination to settle the score, utilizing the running strength of No.3 Leon Bongare to secure the front foot early on. Westlake’s defensive line performed impressively, with No.6 Tupou Afungia and No.13 Baylee Katipa performing powerful tackles, whilst No.14 Jack Fuller achieved numerous try saving tackles. Although Westlake performed well on defense, Rosmini were eventually awarded a penalty and another just one minute later. Leather converted both.

Rugby Congratulations:

Jack Heighton, Finlay Brewis, Blake Houghton, Fine Inisi and Lotu Inisi have been selected for the Blues Under 18’s camp and Harry Collard has been selected for the Blues Under 17’s with training days taking place during the holidays. 

Football Results 2 July

Westlake Boys High School (0) 1st XI vs St Kentigern College 1st XI (1)

Both sides made a cautious and cagey start to the match that was played in brilliant winter sunshine. St Kents had the better of territory and possession but the Westlake defence looked solid. The home side threatened intermittently on the counter attack with Matt Conroy and his striking partner Drew Farnsworth worrying the St Kents defence with their pace and hustle. The match seemed headed for a half time stalemate but in the 39th minute the Westlake defence lost their concentration, allowing the opposition to play two wall passes to create a scoring chance from 12 yards which was duly taken by their striker.  Continue reading here…

Westlakers News 

Westlakers XI vs Westlake Boys 1^st XI Frittelli Cup Match, Friday 24^th June 2016

The odds were against the Westlakers XI, victors of three out of four previous old boys’ contests. The all-star Westlakers hockey team, including several NZ Black Sticks and North Harbour Men’s representatives, did not disappoint their loyal spectators on the night.  With some ‘Harlem Globetrotter’ finesse reminiscent of yesteryear, the Westlakers XI, led by 1984 1^st XI player Andy Worrell, simply outplayed their younger counterparts.

2015 Rankin Cup winning Captain and fellow team mates, Recent Leavers Mitchell Ottow, Benji Edwards and JP Rossouw (all New Zealand U18 representatives), donned the Westlaker kit for the first time and enjoyed the experience of playing alongside some of their old boys’ hockey heroes.

The highlight of the match was an impressive, cleanly-hit reverse shot at goal by Westlaker Mark Fordham. The shot rattled the back of the cage, only for younger brother Paul to do almost exactly the same just minutes after. At fulltime, the scoreboard read 9-1 in favour of the Westlakers XI. The win sees Westlakers retain the Frittelli Cup and takes the overall Cup score to 4-1.

All players and team management gathered for the aftermatch celebrations in the North Harbour Hockey clubrooms, sharing stories of Westlake Boys greatest hockey moments and browsing through a selection of historic Westlake Boys’ hockey photographs.
