A WEEKLY NEWSLETTER FOR THE JOHN PAUL COLLEGE COMMUNITY
Term 2, Issue 15 17th May 2021
Ma te pono Me te aroha – Through Faith and Love
2021 School Theme : Kia kaha, Kia māia, Kia manawanui
Be Strong, Be Brave, Be Steadfast
Dear Parents/ Caregivers
Kia Ora, Malo e Lelei, Talofa, Greetings
CHICAGO
I wish to extend my sincere thanks to the generous sponsors of our school production, Chicago, and encourage you to
support them. Opening night last Friday exceeded everyone’s expectations. The recurring comment was that it had the
feel and look of a professional show you would experience in a large city. Certainly, the students were flawless in their
performances. All performances have now been sold out!!!
SCHOOL FEES (DONATIONS)
From time to time, I am asked what school fees are used for. It is a reasonable and legitimate question in these tough
economic times. The starting point is that the Government provides an operational and staffing entitlement that covers
the basics. It falls short however of parental expectations of a JPC education. The school fees are in part for the
following:
• The employment of additional teachers to provide more subject choices and reduce class size.
• Release time for deans and counsellors to support the pastoral care and mental well-being of students.
• Purchase school vans to transport students to camps, tertiary providers and sporting events.
• The purchase of IT equipment to enhance learning in and outside the classroom.
• The employment of a Sports Director to assist all students undertaking a sport.
• Professional Development for staff to ensure their skills and knowledge are the best they can be to support the
learning of all tamariki.
PARENT CONTACT IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
In case of general contact or medical emergency please ensure all addresses, contact numbers, medical and emergency
information is kept up to date on our system. There have been times recently when parents and/or emergency contact
numbers have been called and the numbers are not correct. Please email any contact detail changes to your child’s
form teacher or to sue.rowles@jpc.school.nz Your child’s welfare is our priority as is making contact with parents in
necessary times.
God bless

PINK SHIRT DAY IS ON THIS FRIDAY!!!
This is a day of standing in support of tolerance and inclusion and against bullying. The day started in Canada in 2007
when two senior students took a stand against homophobic bullying of a younger student who had worn a pink shirt to
school.
You may like to view the following videos for further information about the origins of the day.
The Pink Shirt Day Story - YouTube
https://www.youtube.com › watch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb2a4nPBgUY
This is a full mufti day so please encourage your young person to wear LOTS OF PINK! There will be a prize for the
best dressed individual student and a best group prize. A gold coin donation is welcomed but voluntary this year. All
proceeds go to the NZ Mental Health Foundation.
The Atawhai Committee will also be running some lunchtime activities through the week in the lead up to Friday.
Thanks to them for their organisational help.
On another note, what a great day of presentations we had last Wednesday with visiting speaker, Dr Emma Woodward
talking with staff, students and the wider JPC community about Anxiety and ways of managing it and its effects.
Emma shared information about the neuro-science behind anxiety and linked this in an understandable way to how
we can manage stress when it threatens to tip over into anxiety. Here are her 5 Top Tips:
1. Stay calm.
We all have a window of tolerance – the zone where we function the most effectively. We need to know
where the edges of that window are and stay within them. Mindfulness is very helpful for this.
2. Beware the avoidance trap. The emotional brain can only learn that something is safe by doing it.
3. Focus on well-being. Increase positive emotions by noticing the good. Practice gratitude. Practice self-
compassion. When you mess up, don’t beat yourself up. Instead say “That’s not like me, next time I will do
better”
4. Put down your screens. Screens interfere with the brain’s ability to cope.
5. Eat, sleep, move. 90% of Serotonin (feel-good hormone) is produced in our gut. Not eating right will reduce
our own anti-anxiety meds. Get plenty of sleep. Move your body – exercise leads to the release of “feel
good” hormones.
Many thanks to RECT (Rotorua Energy Charitable Trust) for funding the evening community presentation.

RUGBY REPORT
Last week saw the start of the competition season, with our first 1XV game against RBHS
3rds. The game was tough and physical with RBHS possession in the first half coming
from our mistakes. JPC were up 6-0 at the half time break. Four minutes into the second
half saw a lengthy injury break and after 25 minutes the game restarted. We found
ourselves in defense mode for much of this half. A solid try was scored by Francois. With a
try by Boys High not long after that. With five minutes before the end of the game luck was
upon RBHS when a kick was charged down and a run away try scored. The final score 12-11 to RBHS.
This week the 1XV travelled to Taupo to play Taupo-nui-a-Tia College. The game started well with good possession
and early points were put on the board by Campbell Haigh. The half time score was 10-7 to JPC. After the half time
break we found ourselves up against the wall, having to defend our line time and time again. TNT’s back line sparked
up and scored four tries to one in the second half leaving a final score of 31-15 to Taupo Nui-a-Tia College. Thank
you to the under 16 boys who helped out this week on the bench due to illness and injuries.
The under 16’s had a default win this week.
Our newest team this season, the under 14’s, played Lakes High and it was an excellent win for them 38-25. The
boys thoroughly enjoyed getting out there and having a good run showing their skills.
“Thank you to our supporters who travelled this week, van driver and coaches in all the grades”.
Next week sees the following games:
Under 16 v Whakatane High U16 4pm Friday @JPC
Under 14 v Trident High U14 10:30 Saturday @ JPC
1XV v Tauranga BOys High 2XV 12pm Saturday @Tauranga Boys College

SUCCESS AT NATIONAL SWIM MEET
During the school holidays there was a National Division 1 long course age group swimming championship in
Wellington.
Out of the masses of kids only 8 qualified from Rotorua to go to this swim meet.
Out of the 8 swimmers going from Rotorua 4 were from JPC- Karolina Joyce qualified with 10 events, Mikulash
Joyce qualified with 5 events, Ava Tremain with 4 and Dion Wright with 3. They all got top 10 placing.
These are massive achievements as it is incredibly hard to qualify, and most swimmers never will.
It is even more exciting that Mikulash got a bronze medal during his first National Age Group meet in 50m breast. It
was thought racing and long days and it is brilliant to bring a medal from Division 1 swim meet.
I believe this should be celebrated. Submitted by parent
congratulations
To our achievers – well done!
CLIMBING TO NEW HEIGHTS
On Friday 17 of our Year 7 and 8's competed in the BOP climbing competition held at Rocktopia, Tauranga. The day
started off with getting an hour of clip and climbing warm up done. Practicing on their speed wall gave us an extra
added bonus before the competition even started. The competition was set out into 3 different disciplines - top rope
climbing, bouldering and speed climbing. All of our students did incredibly well, having fun and helping others along
the way. Many of our students dominated the bouldering section with a few students dominating the speed as well.
The scores of the 3 events were then combined to give the overall winners.
Congratulations to
Hannah Hickson - Yr 7 and 8 girls CHAMPION (1st) Hamish Chapman - Yr 7 and 8 boys 2nd
I am really pleased with the effort and enthusiasm given by all. Everyone worked incredibly hard and had loads of
fun. WELL DONE.

2021 Hillary Challenge Qualifying event.
The JPC senior Adventure Racing Team travelled to the Taupo area to compete in
the Hillary Challenge qualifying event. The top 5 open division teams from this race
are invited to the Hillary Challenge Final.
Our team of Gisele Howard, Ciara Griffiths, Megan Williams, Poppy Martin,
Sam Flinn, Leo Schweizer, Joshua Blundell and Marcus Brennan (Reporoa
College) had to work very hard over a tough, mostly foot, course mixed with a bit of
mountain biking to score as many points over 6 hours of racing as they could. Maps
were given to them as they raced so they had to plan, strategise and race with tough
penalties for not making it to the finish line before 6 hours but arrive too early and
you have missed out on points.
Our young team of year 11/12’s came an impressive 3rd place, the winners (Sacred
Heart/Francis Douglas College) are the current National Champions to put that into
perspective.The teamwork displayed and commitment to racing hard the whole time
was outstanding.
For their 3rd place finish and most importantly, their qualification in the weeklong
Hillary Challenge at the Outdoor Pursuit Centre at Tongariro. This event will see our
team compete against the top 12 teams from New Zealand and involves mountain
biking, running, navigation, rock climbing, rafting, kayaking, problem solving and
overnight travel.
