Principal's Message
|
Mālō e lelei St Ignatius Community,
Happy Tongan language Week. It has been a great week with our Tongan students proudly sharing their culture with our school community. The Catholic Ignatian identity of our school promotes ‘cura personalis’, which is care and concern for the whole person, this includes the cultural identities of our students. We are very proud to be a diverse school and truly appreciate the wonderful cultures of our students and their families being shared so positively.
As a college we have been working together on the best senior options for our current Year 9 and 10 cohorts; they will be the last two year levels to undertake the NCEA qualification before it is replaced. We are committed to our students achieving excellence and leaving the college with strong academic records that will provide as many life choices and chances as possible. Next week we will be writing to all Year 9 &10 students and families with our plans for their NCEA senior years and inviting students and families to a presentation and question/answer session at 6:00pm on 2nd September. We look forward to sharing plans with you.
I am delighted to let our community know that progress for our new building and outside sporting facilities is ahead of schedule and will be ready for the new year. Today I visited the site with two of our Year 7 students, Fatai Helu and Ava Latu, their site visit reports are contained further down. The new building will have more of an inside/outside feel with many outdoor areas that are covered with large verandas, ideal for socialising in all weather. There will be three full-sized turf courts and an outdoor changing block. Looking at how the site footprint will expand, it will feel like a whole new world for our students next year.
Ad majorem Dei gloriam,
Dean Wearmouth

Not From the School Pulpit Series - A Fortnightly Reflection by Fr. Eka
Generosity Flows from Gratitude
A fortnight ago, a number of our students took significant steps in their faith journey. They freely chose to receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Holy Communion and complete their initiation into the Catholic Church. It was a moment that marked their spiritual maturity.
A couple of days later, our school welcomed 38 boys from Tokyo City High School. Many of our whānau opened their homes, and our ākonga stepped up as buddies to the visitors. One lunchtime, I was struck by a sight of a cluster of Japanese students, mingling with ours, sitting together, laughing at shared jokes and swapping stories. When words seemed to fail, they invented a kind of sign-language to bridge the gap. It was a simple but beautiful display of hospitality by our students, given freely to our visitors.
Two different moments, one was a big event, the other almost went unnoticed. However, both have the same thread, a quiet deepening of faith, a shared sense of belonging, and both are marked by generous hearts.
In the Ignatian tradition, generosity does not normally begin with grand gestures, rather with inner gratitude. Saint Ignatius learnt that when we notice all aspects of life as a gift — may that be friendship, learning, family, or the beauty of creation — something in us wants to respond. Gratitude turns us outward. It is a wellspring, from which flows generosity. As Ignatius puts it, “Love manifests itself more in deeds than in words” (Spiritual Exercises #230).
At school, we do the daily Examen of five gentle steps: give thanks, ask the guidance of the Holy Spirit, look back, notice what needs thanking and mending, and ask God for more grace. This prayerful reflection can help our students (and also staff) heighten their sensitivity in encountering God in all things. With time, this practice shapes a beautiful perspective on life: to see how much they have received and how much they can give.
We have begun to see the fruits in the everyday of our students’ life: dropping by the chapel every morning, reverently attending Masses and liturgies, saying ‘thank you’ to teachers after lessons, welcoming visitors, checking in on a friend who seems down, picking up rubbish even though it is not theirs, or encouraging a teammate who feels terrible after making a blunder. None of it is flashy or grand, but all of it is formative. These evoke generosity that flows out of the wellspring of their inner gratitude.
Ignatian education is never only about sharpening the intellect; it’s more about enlarging the heart. We use common Ignatian lingo which has become very much part of our school culture. For example, cura personalis (care for the whole person) shapes the way we teach and coach, the way we set standards, and the way we accompany our ākonga through successes and setbacks. Magis (the “more”) is of love. It asks not for perfection, but for the next best step, taken prudently for the greater glory of God. Generosity should also be inserted in the dictionary of our hearts. It is not a mere “nice extra” that we do for others, but rather an exultant response born of gratitude. It is a mark of our spiritual maturity and the measure of our leadership.
Forming young people whose generosity flows from grateful hearts is our school’s core mission. My personal hope is that one day, some of them may respond generously if God calls them into a religious life or an ordained ministry.

Curriculum
Mathematics - Mathex
This week was the highlight of the maths competition season with the Auckland Mathex held at Selwyn College. All of our teams performed very well, most scoring in the top 30 out of over 100 teams. The year 8 team of Andy Nguyen, Torito Esquivel Garcia, Klay Dela Pena and Samuel Speedy achieved an amazing perfect 100 points well before the 30 minute time limit was up and achieved a 10th placing out of 146 teams! Watch this space for Franklin Mathex next week for our Year 7 and 8 teams.
"This year's Year 7 Auckland Mathex was REALLY fun. It was my first time going into the city for this, and it was SUPER chaotic. 140 teams! We placed 23rd, with our second team placing 25th. Some questions were more tedious than others, meaning we had to skip two questions, for the sake of speed. This landed us with 65 points - 13 questions answered correctly. I feel really grateful for our accomplishments. However, we didn't do as good as our Year 8s, who finished at an astonishing TENTH PLACE out of ONE-HUNDRED AND FIFTY TEAMS. Even better, they didn't skip one question, completing all twenty and obtaining 100 points! I can't believe it, and this just makes me so fired up for the Franklin Mathex. I can't wait for next year!"
- Matthew Nguyen, 7A (Edited by Andy Nguyen, 8A)
  Franklin Schools Pasifika Speech Competition
Ākonga Ava Latu and Fatai Helu represented St Ignatius at the Franklin Schools Pasifika Speech Competition earlier this week. This year the event was held at St Joseph's Catholic School in Pukekohe.
Ava represented both her cultures, entering both the Cook Island Maori bilingual and Tongan bilingual speech competition.
She placed 1st for both!
Ava and Fatai both spoke beautifully and represented St Ignatius proudly.
Another beautiful way to celebrate Tongan Language week.  Social Science
In Year 10 Social Science this term, students have been learning about climate change. They have explored its causes, examined the evidence that shows how the climate is changing, and considered the impacts that climate change is having on both the world and New Zealand. Climate change is a significant issue for all New Zealanders, and it has been wonderful to see students so engaged with this important topic. As the unit continues, students will begin to investigate what society can do to reverse the effects of climate change and how they themselves can make a difference.
 The winners of our climate change booklet competition: Kourtney Sublette 10RA, Lauren Murillo 10RA, and Jamie Barillas 10RA.
“In Year 10 Social Studies, we have been learning about a major problem that we’ve all heard of (and perhaps seen) before: climate change. We’ve discussed key factors, like fossil fuel emissions, that contribute to climate change, and specific ways it affects Aotearoa New Zealand and the wider world. These lessons on this interesting topic really put into perspective how massive an issue climate change is, and this motivates me to do further research and try to do my part in stopping this very real environmental dilemma. Most of all, this begs the question: “What are we going to do about it?”
Jamie Barillas 10RA
 Our Year 7 students have just completed their study of the Northern Wars of 1845, the first major conflict between Māori and the British. In their recent assessment, they were asked to determine who they believed the winners of the conflict were and to explain their reasoning. They are now looking forward to beginning a new unit on the Gold Rush, exploring how it transformed the world through the mass movement of people and the creation of new wealth.
Year 8 students have been learning about the Mau Movement, the Samoan struggle for independence, and will now be turning their attention to the Dawn Raids and the harm they caused Pacific communities in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Meanwhile, Year 9 students have been studying a range of Māori protest movements of the 20th century. Their learning began with Rua Kēnana before moving on to other movements such as the famous hikoi (land march) led by Whina Cooper and the occupation of Bastion Point. It has been inspiring to see students engaging thoughtfully with ideas of social justice and people power.
 St Ignatius of Loyola Feast Day Photographs
Official photographs from our St Ignatius of Loyola Feast day are now available to be viewed on our website in the Recent News Section, or via the News link at the bottom of this newsletter. New Building - Site Visit Reports
Today two of our Year 7 students toured our new building with Mr Wearmouth, to provide an update for families and to fellow students at school assembly next week. Here are their reports.
On Friday, we had an amazing opportunity to take a tour through the college’s new building. Through the tour we were able to we where the new classrooms are going to be, including dance and drama. From the new changing rooms to the new courts, it was an amazing sight. As our tour guide, Kevin took us safely around the building, I noticed how big our school really is from a different angle. During the tour Kevin explained all of the work that goes on behind the scenes and all about the scaffolding and the brick work. We were so grateful to have the opportunity to tour our new building and it was a privilege to experience what the college will look like next year.
Fatai Helu
On Friday, we had an awesome opportunity to tour the new building extension to our college. During the AMAZING tour we experienced lots of new things coming to our school. Through the adventure, we met our tour guide, Kevin, who safely guided us through the site. In the building we saw new classrooms, a drama room and a dance room. From the changing rooms to the large new courts; it was almost weird to see our college from a new and different angle. Being the scenes you can really see the progress being made. It was an absolute honour to see the new site and we are both very grateful for the opportunity. Thank you.

Xavier College Exchange
Douglas Easthope and Rupert Archer, both Year 10 students at St Ignatius, on exchange at Xavier College Melbourne, are embracing an unforgettable school camp experience at Uluru.  Ākonga Elective
Script Writing
Have you ever wondered if those we’ve read about in Fairy Tales actually live ‘happily ever after’? This elective requires students to develop and write a script, working with the elements and conventions of drama, to create an original, realistic, dramatic scene (with the opportunity to showcase/perform their work) based on the characters found in popular fairy tales. As a group we have looked at, and discussed, societal issues and themes associated across the generations and world, worked on character development, and how these timeless stories may still have a place in our communities today. Already, the imaginative process has illustrated many thoughtful ideas and concepts which are developing well and looking at becoming insightful, thought provoking and entertaining pieces of theatre.  Young Vinnies
On Friday the 29th of August, Young Vinnies is having a blue-themed Wear Your Own Clothes Day to fundraise for the Open Home Foundation, a child foster care service. Instead of a gold coin, we ask that each year level brings one item from the list below:
Year 7 - Small to medium sized soft toys
Year 8 - Colouring pencils, felts, markers, pens, stationery sets
Year 9 - Colouring books, drawing pads, writing sets, puzzle books
Year 10 - Small games or fidget toys, e.g. Rubik's cubes, pack of cards, stress balls
As these items will be used for birthday packs, we ask that they be in new condition. The $2 shop, Warehouse or Kmart have great affordable options.  Ākonga Achievement
Kourtney Sublette
Ākonga Kourtney Sublette recently won GOLD in her division at the NZ Grappler North Island Champs for the sport of Jiu-Jitsu.
Congratulations Kourtney!
 Annabelle Shields
Ākonga Annabelle Shields attended the Swimming Waikato Awards on Friday night. She won theSue Dyson Cup for the fastest under 16 year old female breastroker during the 2024-2025 season. She was also recognised for achieving top 5 finishes at the Division 2 National championship!
Congratulations Annabelle!  |
 Tongan Language Week
Mālō e lelei! This week we have celebrated Tongan Language week. The 2025 theme is ‘Ko 'etau lea, ko e fe’unu mahu’inga ia ki he mo’ui ‘a e Tonga - Our language is a vital strand of our Tongan culture.’
We began our week with assebly and cultural performances and close the week with Misa Tonga celebrated in our community.
Students shared powerful relfections in assembly on what their Tongan identity means to them.
Leila Pahulu writes: I’m proud of the richness of our culture, the beautiful language, the meaningful customs, and the strong Christian faith that guides so much of our daily life. Our food, our music, and our story telling connect us not only to each other but also to our history and homeland. The warmth, generosity, and kindness of our people make me proud to call myself Tongan, and they remind me that being Tongan means lifting others up and always honoring where I come from.
Being Tongan gives me a strong sense of identity and belonging, and it inspires me to represent my culture with pride, live by its values of love, humility, and respect, and keep our traditions alive for the next generations. No matter how Tongan you are, your roots, your values, and your pride in your culture are what truly makes you Tongan. It’s more than just a heritage, it’s who I am, and it’s a gift I will always treasure.
Peni Helu reflected on 'What does it mean to be Tongan?'
Being Tongan to me is not just a title you get given, but instead is a Culture that gives you a sense of belonging and a feeling of peace within your community. Tongans are known for putting God before anything in life and it's a huge part of the culture to show respect always to the man above. Tongans are also known for showing their utmost respect towards their King, King Tupou VI. The Tongan rugby motto that is well known is “Koe otua mo Tonga ko hoku Tofia” meaning God and Tonga are my inheritance. Showing how Tongans prioritise their faith and loyalty toward God, the King and the Kingdom of Tonga in general. Being Tongan gives me a purpose to represent my culture and family with pride, because your culture is not just where you come from but is also your identity and who you are.

 Farewell to Tokyo City Boys High School
On Tuesday this week, we farewelled our friends from Tokyo City Boys High School, who stayed and learned with us for two weeks. Although the time was short, we all gained so much from the experience and from each other. At Monday’s farewell assembly, the boys gifted us with a performance of a traditional Japanese dance, which was a highlight of their visit. Mr Shin Watanabe, who has been bringing students to New Zealand for over 30 years, spoke to the assembly and thanked us warmly for our hospitality. He commented that this has been the best experience he has had in New Zealand and confirmed that they will be returning next year.
It was wonderful to see our host families taking the international students out and about to enjoy our beautiful country. The boys impressed us with their respectful behaviour, strong work ethic, and the ease with which they fitted into our school community. Strong friendships were formed, with some of our students already making plans to visit Japan next year to reconnect with their new friends. Host families have shared that the experience was just as rewarding for them. One family mentioned how it encouraged them to get off the couch and go out exploring together, while another reflected on how it helped their son develop confidence and responsibility in looking after someone else.
As a Jesuit school, we see ourselves as global ambassadors. Opportunities like this remind us of the growth that comes from learning about other cultures and the richness that travel and international friendships bring to our lives.
We are grateful for this opportunity to connect across cultures, and we look forward to welcoming Tokyo City Boys back again next year.    | |  |
 National Poetry Day
In the Magis Centre we celebrated National Poetry Day with a competition. Student's were asked to write an original poem, in any form, that focused on the theme of 'Finding God In All Things'.
We had some incredible entries, it was so hard to choose just one, so we had a tie for first place.
Congratulations Rosaria Soo Choon and Caitlin McFadden. Here are their winning poems:
Jesus came to show us love,
Sent from God, from up above.
He healed the sick, He helped the poor,
He opened hearts, and so much more.
He died for us upon a cross,
To save the world, he took the loss.
But death was not the final part—
He rose again to heal each heart.
Now Jesus lives and walks with you,
In all you say, in all you do.
So when you're lost or feeling low,
Just talk to Him—He’ll help you grow
By Rosaria Soo Choon
Finding God in all things
God can be found in the darkest night
in the tiniest sound
or in the loudest fight
God can be found in every friend
and in family relation
they will be there for us till the end
and save us from temptation
Just as St Ignatious said
"go forth and set the world on fire"
lead those who cannot be led
but not to make a mighty empire
instead to help everyone who has not had love or care
and help them to live without fear
By Caitlin McFadden

What a Season!
Last week marked the thrilling conclusion of the Football, Hockey, and Basketball seasons for four of our school teams and what a journey it's been! From game-day grit to team spirit, it’s been incredible to watch these athletes grow, push their limits, and represent our school with pride.
A huge shoutout to our dedicated Coaches, tireless Team Managers, and passionate supporters. Your energy, commitment, and belief in our students made this season one to remember. Thank you for being the backbone of our teams!
_______________________________________________________________
Junior Boys Football: A Season of Firsts and Fierce Determination
This year marked a significant milestone for our school, as we proudly entered a Junior Boys Football team into the College Sport competition for the very first time. It’s been a season filled with challenges, growth, and plenty of memorable moments.
As with any new journey, there were ups and downs. Facing off against experienced and well-established teams, our boys showed incredible grit and passion every time they stepped onto the field. While results may not have always gone our way, the team’s unwavering dedication, determination, and belief in each other remained constant throughout the season.
Coach Bernard reflected on the team’s efforts, saying, “It’s been a rewarding experience. This is just the beginning of our secondary school football journey, and we’re excited to see how this team develops over the next few years.”
The boys have not only gained valuable match experience, but they’ve also made a name for our school within the wider sporting community. Their courage to compete and commitment to improve have laid a strong foundation for the future of football at our school.
We’re proud of the incredible progress made in this inaugural season and look forward to seeing the Junior Boys Football team continue to grow and achieve great things in the years ahead.
  Hockey wrap
This hockey season was split into two exciting parts. For the first half of the season, we played Fast 5s, where our team worked hard and achieved some great results. In the second half, we moved into 11 aside and joined with KingsGate School to form one combined team. Over a number of weeks, we really bonded and grew together, supporting each other both on and off the field. Even though we didn’t come away with a placing, we played some strong games and improved a lot as a team. For many of our players it was their very first season of hockey, which made the progress we achieved even more impressive. We are excited to see what next season brings and how much more we can grow as a team!

This year we have had three basketball teams playing in three different competitions. Next year the number of teams will likely grow and we will be looking for Coaches and Managers. So if you are interested in helping out with Basketball next year please contact Simon Benge. [email protected].
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the parents and whanau who have supported the teams this year. A special mention in particular to the fund raising efforts of the AIMS Team players and families.

The Franklin Zone Secondary Schools Junior Boys A competition ran from the beginning of Term 2, till week 5, Term 3. The Saints started the season well and made it into the Junior A division. They had some closely fought games but due to some injuries they sometimes only had a few subs on the bench. In Term 3 we were able to recruit a few more players and finished the season strongly with two wins in the finals which meant they finished 5th out of eight teams in the Junior A competition overall.

The College Sport competition ran from the beginning of Term 2, till week 5 Term 3. The Knights had some closely fought games against teams that often had much taller and bigger players. However, the boys always turned up positive and their teamwork and individual skills improved as the season progressed. We finished the season with a good win last week and finished 7th out of thirteen teams in the Junior B competition overall.

This Team has been playing in the CBL competition from the beginning of Term 2, and are currently still playing till the end of Term 3 (Games on a Friday night, 5.30pm). The team is made up of Year 7 and 8 players and they have had to learn how to play together against bigger and sometimes more skillful opposition. Over the season they have had some good wins and their teamwork and individual skills have improved greatly. Ten players from this team will be heading down to the AIMS games in week 8 to represent St Ignatius in the 5x5 Basketball competition. Much more to come from the Magis Squires!
 The Second Annual Staff vs AIMS Netball Match
Our second annual Staff vs AIMS Netball match was another entertaining battle on court. The staff improved on last year’s effort, keeping the stepping to a minimum, but contact calls and missed shots in the goal circle proved costly.
The Magis team’s skill and development throughout the season shone through, earning them a well-deserved win. With only one chance a year to play together, the staff were proud to finish within 5 points, a small triumph in itself.
