From the Principal Tēnā koutou, Talofa lava, Mālō e lelei, Dia duit, Greetings Dear Parents, Guardians & Whānau, This week we welcome Pauline Balm and Candice Adams from the Palmerston North Dioceses Education Office. Pauline and Candice will be spending three days with us reviewing the Catholic Character of our school. Thank you to the staff, students and parents who are involved in this and we pray that God will bless our review team as they accompany us this week. Our staff began this term with a full day of training on Restorative Practice. Restorative Practice is a relational approach to school life grounded in beliefs about equality, dignity, mana and the potential of all people. This is a way of being that will support our Catholic Character in particular our beliefs in reconciliation and forgiveness. Martin Luther King said ‘Forgiveness is not something you do once. It is a lifestyle.’ Saint Augustine said ‘for those who love God, he changes everything into good. He even allows our faults and mistakes to be changed into good’. Our young people need constant guidance on these behaviours which will in turn improve their wellbeing. Our staff gave positive feedback about the training and have come away with strategies to use in the classroom; to be curious about behaviour, focus on positive behaviour and teach our girls how to model our values of Hope, Equity, Aroha, Respect and Tenacity. The training was attended by all staff including our caretaker, canteen staff and BOT members. We will continue to focus on this as a way of being at SHC. I had the pleasure of representing our college at the ceremony for the Knighting of the Order of Saint Gregory the Great Tony Murphy, in recognition of the outstanding service to the church in the Palmerston North Diocese. Tony was the CEO of the Dioceses for over 20 years and worked on the transfer of the land and buildings at SHC from the Trust Board to the Palmerston North Dioceses. Tony is a tremendous example of servant leadership and has accomplished many things in his time at the Dioceses. It was lovely to see so many familiar faces from the Catholic Parish of Napier and Hastings in attendance at the ceremony. Our Curriculum leaders are looking into effective reporting and the use of data to inform learnings. Later this term parents and caregivers will receive a progress report along with the achievement record so far this year for their daughter. Parents can then discuss these with teachers at our home-school evening in weeks 8 and 9 this term. This information will be more up to date and informative for parents and give a snapshot of your daughter’s progress. Parents can contact teachers at any time if they are concerned about their daughter’s progress outside of these reporting times. Finally, a warm welcome to our new staff this term. Rachel Read has started in the permanent position of Deputy Principal leading our Pastoral and ICT team. We also welcome Carl Montaperto to the Maths, Science and RE department, Elaine Cook as Teacher Aide to the Learning support department, Ngaia Richardson in the uniform shop and we welcome back Kelly Briggs from her maternity leave. Kelly returns as the Head of Department for Religious Education. Tom Silverwood will continue as Director of Special Character until the end of the year. We wish all our staff well and we ask God to bless them and our students for Term 2. I look forward to seeing you all at out Term 2 school mass at Sacred Heart Hastings on 13 June at 9am. God Bless, Maria Neville-Foster Principal

O’Shea Shield 2021
This year the O’Shea Shield was held at Bishop Viard O’Shea Shield Team 2021
College in Porirua in conjunction with Chanel College.
This was a great weekend of competition amongst the Debating Religious Questions

Palmerston North. We received a Kowhai from St Catherine’s
Jaimee Gerbes Eva Deihl
College in the tree exchange which we planted in our Uurpa.
The competition has been running for 75 years and our Eva Deihl Leticia Windsor

Changes to NCEA
Please note the change to the NCEA
Resubmissions Policy effective for
the beginning of 2021:
Schools may offer a resubmission
opportunity to students only when
a minor error prevents them from
reaching an ‘Achieved’ grade.
The only change in grade boundary
available for resubmissions is from
‘Not Achieved’ to ‘Achieved.’
On this basis, the highest grade that
can be awarded as a result of a
resubmission of an internal
assessment is limited to ‘Achieved’.
Schools may continue to offer one
resubmission for each assessment
event against an Assessment
Standard.

Academic
Teacher only days 2021
Eight additional Teacher-Only Days were allocated in an Accord between the Ministry of Education, NZEI Te Riu Roa and PPTA Te
Wehengarua. For secondary schools this was to support the implementation of changes to NCEA, and wider strengthening of
curriculum, progress and achievement practice. Due to COVID only one day was held in 2020 , with three to be held this year.
The first of the 2021 days was on Wednesday 19 May. The focus was to deepen our understanding of two parts of the Ministry of
Education’s NCEA Change Programme aimed at strengthening NCEA:
- change 2 Equal status for mātauranga Māori in NCEA
- change 3 Strengthen literacy and numeracy requirements and assessments
Teacher only day 3 and 4 will be on the following days: Thursday 12 August 2021 and Tuesday 23 November 2021

‘Thank You!
A big thank you to all the students and families who participated in the Work Experience on Monday 3 May.
We received so much positive feedback from within our school community as well as from local businesses who
had allowed students to work for the day. So far we have raised over $4300 with money still coming in. Anyone
who is yet to pay, please get your money in as soon as possible.
A big thank you to all the parents/caregivers who worked at the recent Crowded House concerts at Church
Road. The PTA was paid $3730 for this event. Thank you to Anna Campbell for co-ordinating this fundraiser.
The PTA are working towards a target raising funds for a Multi-purpose Tiger Turf on the top courts. From this
fundraising, we are well on our way towards achieving this target.
Be assured all money raised is going towards a project which will benefit the school & all students at Sacred
Heart. Upcoming fundraisers will be the House Bake Off which began on 20 May with Marian House providing the
delicious baking first up. Watch this space as we have an exciting Quiz Night planned for Term 3...!
Thanks again to all the girls for your contributions to a very successful Work Experience Day.

Student Voice
If you set goals and go after them with all the
determination you can muster your gifts will take you
places that amaze you.” – Lez Brown
Setting goals gives our life direction, boosts our motivation and self-
confidence. Goals are about envisioning, planning and committing to
achieve our desired result or outcome. Goals are the first and most
important step towards gaining success and a future you want; this can
be completing an internal due by the end of the week, committing to a
sports game afterschool, practicing a musical instrument, or a cultural
group. Goals perform a vital role in developing lifelong skills of commit-
ment and perseverance and achieving.
In the fast-paced world that our lives as students we need a way to bal-
ance all the challenges we have from school, sports and
other activities. You may feel like you are putting in a big effort
for minimal results, have large aspirations but are not sure where to
start, to gain momentum to get onto the right, successful path.
A goal is like a road map providing directions on how to reach your des-
tination by the quickest, safest route. A map will guide you with getting
from one point to another, providing a measure and timeline of your
progress on the way. Your mindset is your car, the vehicle that carries
you on your journey and is the largest influence on how you get to
your
chosen destination.
The goal and your mindset are entwined with each other
because, what good is a map without a car to get you anywhere and
what use is a car with no destination? Our mindset determines far
more than we realise, whether we view a situation as a challenge or a
problem. For example, a statement such as ‘I can’t do this’ or ‘I’m not
good enough’ is setting you up to fail before even attempting to
achieve your goal or deciding on a destination. ‘I will practice and get
better’ however is a far better mindset and is the first important step
to create a secure pathway to reaching your goal.

Y9 Textiles
In the first Y9 Textiles
option rotation, students
worked extremely hard to
create their own pattern
pieces to make their
designs come to life.
Holly Elliot-Lawson worked
on an original stencil
design which she then
screen printed onto a
t-shirt. She also made a
very modern cushion cover
complete with a zip.
Our Year 11 and 12 students attended the Youth Road Safety Expo in
week 2. ‘Road Safety is Everyone’s Responsibility.’ R. I. D. S. Restraints,
Impairment, Distraction, Speed. This is where our students have the
chance to be leaders and make a positive change in our community and
the road statistics within Hawke’s Bay.
Our Year 10 students were an
excellent audience for our
‘I am Hope’ Presentation.
The girls had two ambassadors
(Hayley and Tai) speak to them,
spreading hope about dealing with
mental health challenges by
sharing their own experiences.
Kapa Haka Introducing Te Pūtiki Hou. Sacred Heart College and Napier Boys High School combined kapa haka group. Te Pūtiki means to tie together and Hou means new, which is symbolic of the coming together of of our two schools. This kapa haka campaign has been a significant building of relationships between our kura and our whānau whānui. Our wahine toa were from Year’s 9 – 13 and led by Year 13 student Trinity Reti. The Kaitātaki wahine was Te Amokura Watson and solo performances were by Iriaka Peri and Rylee Fergus. Special mention to Aroha Tawhiri and Taila Crichton too, who were strategically positioned on the ends of the front row for their individual strengths. The rest of our kapa wahine were Rhianna Southon, Amy Lawson, Awhina Hooper-Goes, Reed Smith, Synceralee Apatu, Sophie Richardson, Mikayla Brown, Hanna Stock, Tina Laumatia, Alivia O’Shea, Tatiana Chapman. A huge congratulations to the wahine toa for their outstanding performances and committment to the kaupapa. Each student pushed past their personal barriers and inhibitions, spending hours and hours on perfecting the bracket. They performed 4 times, with the main peformance at the Secondary Schools Regional Competition. Here are some comments by people who watched them, “it sent chills up and down my spine”, “the best I have ever seen”, “amazing”, “my babies were awesome!” Thank you to our tutors Andrea and Jarrod Tuhi for drawing out the very best in our girls and thank you to our guitarists. Thank you to Matua Pōhatu and Whaea Delwyn (NBHS) and Whaea Ange (SHC BOT member). Nei rā te mihi mahana ki a tātou katoa. - Whaea Hillman

Commitment in Sport Initiative
Week 4 will be the start of our new Commitment in Sport initiative that we are implementing for all our sports teams to
help build commitment and showing up for each other. We want to recognise those girls and teams who are showing
up and being responsible about the sport commitments they have made. With our check in system, we will be recording
those that are at their trainings and games in the correct gear, on time and have a great attitude.
We have an expectation at SHC of all our sports teams in showing up, doing the mahi and all students doing their bit to
help build a strong team culture. At the end of the season, we will collate the scores of each team and the winning team
will receive a pizza lunch. This initiative is across all codes. Individual prize draws will also be made for those who always
turn up for practice in the correct gear and communicate with their coach and manager.
Hawke’s Bay / Gisborne Secondary Schools Cross Country Relays

Christine Reynolds, Saraid Murphy and a Year 10 team of Tamar Aiken, Eliza
Clarkson, Lola Parlato and Pearl Drummond take part in the Hawke’s Bay-
Gisborne Cross Country relays held at Anderson park in Havelock North. Each
athlete ran a 2.2 km leg and there were some close finishes. The girls repre-
sented our school well. This was a good practice run leading up to our school
Cross Country taking place on the 27th of May at Park Island.Library Corner
From the Library Desk
As Librarians, we have a passion for championing reading. We are constantly promoting the many mental
health and lifestyle benefits of reading books – encouraging our girls to increase their reading no matter what
format. We believe reading is the key to a smarter, healthier New Zealand.
And if this sounds like the beginning of a Creed, then we now have an inspirational poet, author and publisher
to lead the movement. Ben Brown has been appointed as New Zealand’s first reading ambassador. Not from a
traditional academic route, but from a life full of lived experiences, Brown is on a mission to move the cause
forwards, making connections. “It’s not rocket science…The first thing is engagement”
We encourage you to read the full article – and be inspired for you and your family.

On a more pragmatic note, after the gutting of magazines for teenage girls
over the past decade, an Australian publisher has been brave enough to
start up a new magazine called “Teen Breathe”. It’s colourful, attractive
and full of lively articles, perfect for this age group and we are now
subscribing to it. Encourage your girl to come and find it.
Also, in collaboration with the Napier Public Library, we are in the process
of starting up a Book Club for our
avid and interested readers. Watch this space…

The day commences with a Powhiri at 9.30 a.m. and
visitors will be met at the gate. We will conclude the day’s
programme at 2.10 p.m. This event is an

John’s. Your son should wear his normal school uniform and

The New Zealand Catholic Bishops Conference has made a significant
change to the proposal to renew the country’s dedication to Our Lady
Assumed into Heaven. The proposed hikoi of a special artwork around
Aotearoa New Zealand – which was to happen in the three months
leading to the Feast of the Assumption on 15 August – has been
postponed. However, the bishops will still gather at St Mary of the
Angels Church in Wellington on Sunday 15 August for a Mass to renew
Bishop Pompallier’s 1838 dedication of Aotearoa New Zealand to Our
Lady Assumed into Heaven. Further details:
