HVHS Newsletter

Kia ora koutou,

Yesterday our school was closed because teachers who are members of the Post-Primary Teachers’ Association (PPTA) went on strike. We know this causes disruption and appreciate your understanding. School is also closed this Monday, 25 August for a well deserved mid-term break. Hopefully, this will be an opportunity for students and staff to relax and recharge in preparation for the grit and perseverance needed to get through the final dregs of winter, and for senior students to keep their feet on the accelerator and focus on preparing thoroughly for the school-derived grade exams early in Term Four.

There have been some amazing, student-led events over the past couple of weeks. Our student leaders have been doing a phenomenal job of representing the school and finding ways to get all students involved and having fun. The Year 9 disco was an absolute joy, with Year 9 students and Year 13 student leaders dancing the night away in their pyjamas and onesies. A special thank you to our Junior School Leaders, Riley Keatley (13JD) and Jess Owens (13JD), for their mahi helping to organise this year's disco.

This week’s House Has Talent competition has seen a fierce battle between our six houses, culminating in the final performances today. Congratulations to our top performers:

• 1st place: Violet Edwards (13RB)
• 2nd place: Hoana Hori-Hohepa (12WD)
• Highly Commended: Giselle Charleson (12MO), Matty Miller (12KT), Anushka Nautiyal (10GSSP) and Anshika Rana (10GSSP)

A huge thank you to Tararua House Captain, Tui Denham (13JD), who has done a fantastic job encouraging students to sign up for House Has Talent and supporting our student performers this week. This event is a massive undertaking with many moving parts, and Tui's work has been key to its success.

Our student leaders and Grace Wright (Deputy Principal) had the opportunity to have morning tea with the Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon, last Thursday, where he spoke to student leaders from many Hutt Valley schools about his experiences in leadership, both in the business world and in politics.

Finally, this week we have lunchtime presentations from Victoria, Waikato, Canterbury and Otago Universities. These are designed to help our Year 13 students understand what is on offer and to aid their planning for 2026. Many of our Year 13 students will also head off to the Wellington Tertiary Open Day tomorrow. This is an excellent opportunity to get a taste of what tertiary study and university life are like.

Ngā mihi nui,

Fiona Pearson, Co-Principal | Tumuaki (Acting, Term 3 2025)

On Friday, 8 August, over 60 HVHS staff and students travelled to Massey University's Toi Rauwhārangi College of Creative Arts (CoCa) to record the school waiata ‘E Tipu’.

The arrangement was constructed by Nicholas Kovacev, current HVHS music teacher and past pupil.

The String Orchestra, Jazz Band, Volante, and members of our Poly Club spent the day in the large recording studio, under the instruction of legendary studio engineer and Aotearoa music icon Mike Gibson. Current CoCa students assisted Mike Gibson setting up the spaces, placing microphones and providing technical assistance to our performers.

Past HVHS Music teacher Gary Wilby joined our String Orchestra for the day, along with our itinerant teachers, Alex Vaatstra, Joanna Dann and Chris Buckland. It was fantastic to welcome back Tara Randall, a Year 13 student at HVHS in 2024, who joined Volante for the day. Tara is currently studying at Massey University.

The experience for our students was authentic, having to sit still and wait for their turn to play, tuning multiple times, listening with intent to others' parts, showing respect for fellow students and the opportunity to record in the spectacular facilities at Massey CoCa. All staff are extremely proud of their dedication, patience, and diligence in participating in this iconic event.

The audio from this recording will be available later this year.

We are all looking forward to our Centenary in 2026, where students, staff and alumni will be invited to perform this waiata as a massed musical item. Audio and written parts will be available on our school website by the end of the 2025 school year. Alumni will be able to download their instrumental score and practice for the big day in 2026.

Thank you to all the staff in the Music Department for their support of this event, and to the HVHS Past Pupils and Friends Association (PPFA) for their help funding the bus transport for students and staff.

We are collaborating with Victoria University with their VicStart programme. We have a number of students completing 100-level papers through VicStart. If students have achieved NCEA Level 2 with Excellence Endorsement and also have UE Literacy, then up to two first-year papers are free through this programme.

Through VicStart, Archie Robertson (13AN) has completed a 100 Level Calculus paper with an A+ and Hunter Chapman (13CW), pictured, has completed a 100 Level Computer Science paper with an A+ and consequently won a $5,000 scholarship for 2026.

We also collaborate with the University of Canterbury and have several students completing 100 Level Calculus papers. The following students gained A+ in their mid-year exams: Aaron Chong (13JD), Archie Robertson (13AN), Darren Xiong (13GE), Emma McLaughlin (13LR), Morgan Grummitt (13RN) and Wyatt Young (13RB). It’s fantastic to see our students achieving at such a high level.

Archie Robertson also recently represented the school at the New Zealand Physics and Maths Competition as a finalist.

And finally, Leo Languette (13SM), pictured, has recently been awarded a KPMG scholarship. This is an amazing award that pays university fees, offers mentorship, and provides paid employment while you study.

For any questions about these opportunities, please email Rebecca Feerick (Teacher / Gifted & Talented Coordinator) at rebecca.feerick@hvhs.school.nz.

Every Wednesday after school in P6 from 3:30-4:30pm. Each week, a range of maths teachers (sometimes supported by student helpers) are available to help with any maths-related questions. The Maths Help Room is open to students of all year levels and ability levels.

Come along to get help with homework, studying for assessments or preparing for the Numeracy CAA. Students are welcome to bring their work from class or we can help you to find suitable work. No bookings are necessary - just turn up on the day.

At the beginning of 2025, I applied for the Save the Children Youth Ambassador Program – Generation Hope. The selection process was both exciting and competitive, starting with a general application open to all interested rangatahi. From there, the group was narrowed down to 25 applicants who were invited to participate in interviews. After careful consideration, only 10 were chosen to become the final 2025 Youth Ambassadors.

The Generation Hope programme is designed to empower young voices and equip us with the skills and platforms to create real change. As Ambassadors, we have numerous opportunities to engage directly with decision-makers and gain hands-on media and advocacy training. The programme is not only about amplifying our voices but also about building networks, shaping policy discussions, and driving positive impact in our communities and beyond.

With the Generation Hope team, I was flown to Auckland to participate in a Conference of the Parties (COP) simulation. This involved discussing various issues, including youth governance, water accessibility, sanitation concerns, and sustainable food systems. We collaborated with rangatahi, representing NGO’s, the Government, healthcare, education, and business. Working with a cross-section of rangatahi allowed us to reflect on the complexity and collaboration required in the political system.

As Vira, Youth Engagement Coordinator at Save the Children New Zealand, noted: “Aotearoa Youth COP is important because children and young people are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis, and are currently under-represented by global climate events. Children and young people need to know that they deserve to be in the conversation, and what those conversations look like. Aotearoa Youth COP is the perfect event to act as a stepping stone on that journey of understanding. Nothing should be done about us without us.”

Last Friday, five of our students represented HVHS at the Wellington Regional Japanese Speech Competition, held at Wellington College. With participants across all year levels, the event showcased confident and creative speeches in Japanese.

Special congratulations to our award winners:

• Clara Shin (10MYDO) – 1st place in the Year 10 division, with a lovely speech about taking her little brother to the zoo.

• Kiri Clendon (11PC) – 2nd place in the Year 11 division, with an informative and engaging speech about Kate Sheppard.

We also acknowledge and celebrate the efforts of our other students, who stepped out of their comfort zones to deliver creative and well prepared speeches:

• Aurel Gautam (11NI) – on why cockroaches should be killed.

• Mila Vella (12PL) – with a complex and original speech, “Curry is a Metaphor.”

• Morgan Grummitt (13RN) – who spoke about her 2024 Japan trip, impressing even the Japanese Ambassador, Makoto Osawa, who has personal ties to the area around our sister school, Suginami High School.

If you’d like to know more about studying Japanese or future speech competitions, please get in touch with Sarah Langley (Year 11 Dean / Teacher in Charge of Japanese) at sarah.langley@hvhs.school.nz.

Parents and caregivers without an email address on file should now have received their printed voting papers by post.

A friendly reminder that all votes must be received by 4pm on Wednesday, 10 September 2025, when voting closes. Parents and caregivers with printed voting papers must ensure these are dropped off at the School Office by the deadline.

We had the opportunity to visit Mexted Sports Turf last week with our Trades Academy students. They got up close with tractors and other commercial machinery, offering a valuable glimpse into the real world applications of automotive engineering and highlighting the opportunities available in the heavy diesel industry. This visit was inspiring for our students passionate about mechanics, technology and hands on problem solving.

A big thank you to Cameron Mexted, Grant Dixon and the team at Mexted Sports Turf for welcoming our students. For more information about the Trades Academy, please email Amanda Waters (Careers Advisor / Gateway Coordinator) at amanda.walters@hvhs.school.nz.

Wellington Tertiary Open Day is a fantastic opportunity for senior students considering tertiary study in Wellington. You'll be able to visit campuses, explore study options, and gain a sense of what different institutions have to offer. Parents and caregivers are very welcome to come along, and it is highly recommended too!

Plan Ahead

To get the most out of the day:

• Check each provider’s schedule and map carefully

• Register with the institutions you’re interested in
• Plan your visits in advance

• Bring your own food and a water bottle; some campuses have food available to purchase

• Getting there by train or bus is strongly recommended. Car parking in Wellington is limited, expensive, and the parking wardens are diligent!

• Wear casual and comfortable clothing, you do not need to wear your school uniform.

Congratulations to the following students and teams:

• Annabel Dee (13JD) & Samantha Knox (13JD) – competed at the Under 18 Netball Nationals in Waitakere in the U18 Netball Hutt Valley Gold Team, over the holidays, along with 35 other regional teams. They came 8th in NZ, which was a massive achievement.

• Ruby Steed (11CT) & Daisy Johnson (11CT) – competed at the U16 North Island Junior Netball Champs in New Plymouth in the U16 Netball Hutt Valley Gold Team. The team came 3rd in Division B.

• Kyla Hughes (11CP) – competed at representative regional tournaments as part of the U16 Netball Hutt Valley Green Team.

• Ella Adams (10PA) – won the Most Promising Junior Umpire award at the Netball Hutt Valley umpiring awards.

• Liam Chung (10CIGB), Ayush Kasi Viswanathan (10PUPF), Zim Li (9GFNA), Alexander Liu (10CNPA) & Ollie Rumsey (10CIGB) – winners of the College Sport Wellington Junior Boys Weekly Badminton Tournament.

Get2Go Challenge

The Get2Go Challenge is an introductory multi-sport event for Year 9 and 10 students run by Hillary Outdoors. Recently, students Ferghus Smith (10SRPD), Miriam Water (10GSSP), Nicholas McKenzie (10MTMR), Ethan Gould (10BQMA), Finn Seiler (10KVDU) and Rory Maxwell-Lamb (10MYDO) competed in the Wellington regional event.

The day began with an orienteering course at Avalon Park (courtesy of Orienteering Hutt Valley), followed by mountain biking around Hīkoikoi Reserve (thanks to Hutt Valley Mountain Bike Club), and rock climbing at Fergs, Queens Wharf (pictured). Unfortunately, strong winds meant kayaking was cancelled, so teams tackled problem-solving challenges instead — for example, transporting a tennis ball along a course using only a tube, without arms, and completing a detailed grid from memory one team member at a time.

Our students embraced the fun, supportive nature of the event despite the weather and the challenge of competing against full teams of eight. HVHS finished 8th out of 23 teams, placed top in the mixed grade, and performed particularly well in orienteering — Ethan Gould (10BQMA)

and Nicholas McKenzie (10MTMR) came 1st, Finn Seiler (10KVDU) and Rory Maxwell-Lamb (10MYDO) 15th, and Ferghus Smith (10SRPD) and Miriam Water (10GSSP) 16th out of 89 pairings.

We look forward to building on this year’s success with a new team in 2026, as our current Year 10 students move up to the Hillary Challenge for senior students.

Winter Tournament Week

Good luck to all our teams that are heading away next week to compete at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Tournament Week. Thank you to all the coaches, managers, and parent volunteers for your hard work in helping your team get there. Without you, we would not be able to do this.

Nomination packs for the Student Representative election were emailed to all HVHS students on Tuesday, 19 August by Election Pilot (the Returning Officer for the HVHS elections). Nominations for the student representative role close this Monday, 25 August at 12pm.

Being the Student Representative on the HVHS School Board is a great opportunity to develop new skills, share student perspectives, and contribute to our school community. Any current HVHS student can nominate themselves or another student, and all students can vote in the election.

The role involves attending eight Board meetings each year (Wednesdays, 5.30–7.30pm), preparing by reading the board pack (1–2 hours), and checking your school email for updates. The Student Representative is expected to share views confidently and respectfully, keeping our school values in mind.

If you need your nomination pack re-sent, please contact Election Pilot (the Returning Officer for the HVHS elections) on 0800 VOTE NZ (0800 868 369) or email election@electionpilot.nz. For questions about the HVHS School Board or the student representative role, students are also welcome to stop by the School Office and speak with Rachel Williams (Office Manager/Events Manager).

The Magic: The Gathering (MTG) Club is now up and running! The club meets every Tuesday from 3:20pm to 4:30pm in V8. Come along to play, learn the game, or build your skills in this strategic, collectible card game.

MTG Club is a very inclusive space, so don’t worry about not knowing anyone or the games themselves. Students from all year levels are welcome to attend. The club also counts towards Ad Alta. For any questions, email Marcus Blomquist at marcus.blomquist@hvhs.school.nz.

At Hutt Valley High School, our School Board adheres to a three-year policy review schedule to ensure our policies remain current and effective. This term, we are reviewing the following policies:

• Child Protection
• Abuse Recognition and Reporting
• Food and Nutrition
• Safety Checking
• Police Vetting
• Missing Student Procedure

The School Board welcomes feedback and input from the school community on these policies. To read the policies, click here and search for 'Hutt Valley High School', and enter username 'HVHS' and the password 'Adalta'. The close off date for feedback is Friday, 29 August 2025.

Our Dungeons & Dragons groups have space for new players. If you know a student who is struggling to find their place here at HVHS or could use a bit of extra social growth, encourage them to come along - or to rejoin if they've been part of the D&D group previously. D&D sessions run in V8 every Thursday after school until 5:30pm. We’ll help new players find a group that suits them.

We’re also looking for student volunteers to run games, which counts as volunteer experience. Interested students can attend on a Thursday to find out more or contact Marcus Blomquist at marcus.blomquist@hvhs.school.nz.

The Music Department is calling out to our school community for ukulele donations to help support our Junior Music programmes. We’re looking for ukuleles of any size and in any condition — new, used, or well-loved — all are welcome!

Anyone who has played a ukulele will know that a group ukulele session is always great fun - and with your help, more students can get involved. If you have a spare ukulele to donate, please drop it off at the School Office (open Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm during term time) or email the Music Department directly at music@hvhs.school.nz.

Many tertiary scholarship deadlines have already closed or are closing soon. For parents and caregivers new to the scholarship application process, HVHS has a step-by-step system that students follow. As always, the place to find all information is the Year 13 Google Classroom.

Rebecca Feerick (Gifted & Talented Coordinator/English Teacher) is also available to support students. Her office is in the Deans' Area, and students are welcome to drop in. Rebecca can also be contacted by email at rebecca.feerick@hvhs.school.nz

We're looking for reader/writers to assist students with learning differences and disabilities during their exams and assessments. As a reader/writer you’ll get the satisfaction of helping support students with dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, physical disability or a sports injury to their writing hand!

Reader/writers need clear spoken English, good reading skills, and either good handwriting or the computer skills to quickly type answers and navigate around an online exam. Training will be provided, and acceptance is subject to a satisfactory Police check.

What’s involved? Volunteers are needed at HVHS during school hours, especially in September for year 10 & 11 literacy and numeracy assessments and from October to December for end-of-year assessments. A reader/writer might help for 2-3 hours each term or up to 10 exams a year. We’ll match your availability and willingness to our student’s schedules. You can also say no if a day/date doesn’t suit you. Contact Raewyn at (04) 566 4584 or raewyn.kerr@hvhs.school.nz to learn more.

Current students aren't able to volunteer as reader/writer at HVHS, but we appreciate your kind offers!

Has your child achieved something amazing? We’d love to hear about and celebrate our students’ successes outside the classroom — whether in sport, music, speech, dance, or other activities.

If your child has a sporting achievement, please email the details to Kristi Tia (Sports Director) at sport@hvhs.school.nz. For all other achievements, contact Lana Goddard (Principal’s PA) at office@hvhs.school.nz.

The Resource Centre is open Monday to Thursday, 11:00am to 2:30pm and closed on Fridays, during term time only. Please note, the Resource Centre is closed this Monday, 25 August for the scheduled Mid Term Break.

We warmly invite our school community to attend the HVHS Market Evening on Wednesday 17 September (Term 3, Week 10) from 4:00pm – 6:30pm in the school hall.

A huge thank you to those of you who have supported our students by donating kai in the past to help us supplement our breakfast club we run each day from Te Korowai.During the colder months, we've seen an increase in students coming in for food, and it's been great to offer sandwiches and fruit alongside the regular breakfast programme.

We’re grateful for your ongoing support. If you’d like to contribute by donating sandwich spreads or fillings, please contact Claire Ross (Head of Wellbeing) at claire.ross@hvhs.school.nz, or drop off donations at the School Office (open Monday to Friday from 8am to 4pm during term time).
