After a few false starts due to another
lockdown, the English Department
were pleased to welcome back Aaron
Topp to Napier Boys’ High School. In

2020, Aaron visited the school and
presented to most junior students Aaron Topp
giving an outline of his inspiration
for writing. As a result, the English Visits
Department introduced the novel,
Hucking Cody, to the texts taught at
Year 10.
This year, two Year 10 classes have
studied this text as part of their in-
class novel study. These two classes
were fortunate to have Aaron visit and
give a wider creative writing session
that focused on how to use sporting
achievements as inspiration for their
own writing. The students were then
able to ask Aaron about the wider
ideas from Hucking Cody. It was great
to be able to welcome Aaron into the
new English block and showcase this
new learning space.
These opportunities are invaluable for
the students, and it is pleasing to see
the enthusiasm they have when the
author of their studied text is standing
in front of them.

Exa Camerin Boyes was awarded a Tamiya ‘Swivelbot’ model robot by the school for
diligence and application in Year 13 Japanese this year. Camerin is planning to
study Mechanical Engineering, and there will be some practical learning ahead for
him as he constructs this small model robot produced by Tamiya Corporation of
Japan. He won the Japan Society Prize for 1st in Class when in Year 10.

We are now left with eight boys on the ground at the end of 2021 and we bid farewell to three of them at the end of the Sarah Cook year. Michael and Sam are staying in NZ and going on to The University of Auckland to further their studies and Perth is returning to Thailand to attend University. Our five remaining boys are from Thailand and Hong Kong and range from year 11 – 13. We have enjoyed many adventures as a department, pictured here are a recent golf outing and our final tutor time together earlier this week. We have an International Department Facebook page so you can keep tabs on our adventures https://www.facebook. com/nbhsinternationalstudents/ We are looking forward to further end of year celebrations, as well as visiting Wellington in January. 8
Tikanga
In 2021, Tikanga became
a compulsory subject
that all Year 9 students
experienced in an 8-week
block course in either Term
1, 2, 3 or 4. Students were
introduced to a range of
values associated with Te Ao
Māori. The course intent is to
study the various concepts
through a Māori lens and in
turn, encourage students to George Rickey George Rickey George Rickey
make connections to their
own values and views. By
using a range of activities,
it is hoped to keep interest
high in the subject to
challenge the students to
engage in their school’s
heritage and build a sense
of pride of who they are
and their connection to the
school. Some of the content
included: Marae, Pepeha,
Pūrākau, Local Landmarks,
Te Kauru Maaka Thomas Hay George Rickey
Treaty of Waitangi, weaving
with harakeke and Tangata
Rongonui.
Max Ranapiri James and Camryn Talon Grellman-May
On Wednesday tutors came
into school to teach Tīkanga
and Art students the art of
Raranga, weaving using
harakeke. Carmel and Anne
worked with the students
for the entire day, explaining
some of the traditions and
rituals associated with
weaving and then teaching
them the skills to create
their own flower or basket.
Students were engaged
and focused. The course
was very successful and the
feedback from the students
was positive.
