Principal's Message

Kia ora and welcome to the end of another busy and dynamic week at WHS. 

Last Saturday was the Year 13 Formal, which was an extravagant affair held at the Millennium Hotel. The students were fantastic, looked marvellous and had a wonderful time, and it was great to see the Year 13’s come together for this important occasion. A huge thank you to the Formal committee, the staff and the community who supported this special event. 

With our annual House Debating competition running throughout the week, our Level 2 Outdoor Ed trips and the second of the Business Studies market days, there was no shortage of students engaging in WHS’ great all-round education.

As part of the new NCEA programme, there are now a series of literacy and numeracy exams that students need to pass to achieve an NCEA qualification. Today, nearly 300 Year 10 and 100 Year 11 students sat their writing corequisite exam with more students sitting their numeracy exam on Monday and reading exam on Wednesday of next week. All students and parents have been emailed with further details, including ways in which they can prepare for these important exams. 

As we have been doing now for a number of years, today a Drug Detection Dog came through the school to ensure we are doing what we can to keep the school free from drugs. While every situation is dealt with on a case-by-case basis, any students who are under the influence of drugs (or alcohol) and/or bring drugs or drug paraphernalia to school at any time put themselves (and possibly others) at risk of not being able to attend Wakatipu High School. We take these matters very seriously, including engaging with the Police if required, so please make sure that you have a conversation with your student to ensure they understand the potential implications of their actions.

Also today was our Stars Community Adventure Day which showcased the range of community services and support available to our Year 9 students. We are very fortunate to have the unwavering support of our community - a huge thanks to all those who attended and to the Stars Peer Mentors for their active citizenship. Speaking of active citizenship, next Friday, in line with a Teacher Only Day, we are holding the first of our community service days, in which students at WHS look to give back to the community that gives so much to the students. A huge thank you to all the students who have signed up for the first of our community service days.

A reminder that next Friday 31 May is a Teacher Only Day (National Accord Day) which is being provided to high schools nation-wide to support the implementation of the NCEA changes. 

On Thursday 6 June the WHS Foundation, in conjunction with The Grille by Eichardt’s and Jarden are hosting the annual Winter Gala. This is a very important fundraiser and event for the Foundation and the School and it would be great to see the last remaining seats sold, click here to book your seat now.

As we start to move to winter, make sure you are aware of our winter uniform rules which are included below - the key change being that a black puffer jacket can be worn over the blazer when at school. Also, be sure to download the SZApp to ensure you’re getting up-to-date messages from the school regarding any adverse weather that may impact the normal operations of the school.

Lastly, a few weeks ago, we were required to submit our 2024 Class Act recipients. We have so many amazing students that it was nearly impossible to select only two Year 13 students. However, after a rigorous and extensive process, the Class Act recipients from WHS for 2024 are: Mason Clarke and Jessica Hudson. Congratulations to those two amazing students and all the other students who were considered for this prestigious award. You will hear lots more about these two class acts in the weeks to come.

A great newsletter follows, be sure to have a read.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Ngā mihi nui,

A Night in Paris: Year 13 Formal

Uniform Expectations in the Winter Months

As we move into the colder months of the year it is natural for our students to want to put on more layers and ensure they are warm and comfortable both at school and coming to and leaving school.  We are supportive of this and want to share with you our guidelines and expectations on what can be worn and when.

To and from school

We want our students to be warm and safe.  Black puffer jackets (sleeveless are OK) or raincoats are the expected item to be worn over their school uniform when coming to school or leaving at the end of the day.  Beanies, gloves and scarfs are OK to be worn, but if these are non-uniform they need to be removed once students enter the building and can be worn again at the end of the school day when leaving.  Similarly, non-black puffer jackets should not be seen at school during the day.

At school

The school environment is regulated for temperature and is warm and dry.  Students are not to wear puffer jackets while in class, as jerseys and blazers are their first option for being warm.  

As is normal throughout the whole year, non-uniform items such as hoodies, beanies, scarfs, and puffer jackets (that are not black) are not to be worn at any time in the school day and may be confiscated.

All other uniform requirements remain the same and can be found on the school website - click here. 

We welcome your support in balancing the need for our students to be warm and dry with wearing their school uniform correctly and with pride.

Wellbeing Spotlight: Vaping - has your child been 'sucked in'?

There’s no doubting that a proportion of our young people at any one time are either experimenting with or regularly vaping. While we don’t yet know all the possible long-term effects, we do know that vaping is harmful to rangatahi and it can have a negative impact on their health and wellbeing. 

Key points about young people and vaping

  • nicotine can change the way the teenage brain develops and works 
  • experimentation with vaping often begins at a young age 
  • vaping is bad for a young person's health
  • the best thing for your young person's health is to be smoke-free and vape-free
  • it is illegal to sell or give a vaping product to someone under 18 
  • it is prohibited to vape on school property or grounds 24/7
  • vaping is likely less harmful than smoking cigarettes but it's long-term effects are not known

Why are more young people vaping?

Vaping was originally marketed to support smoking cessation, but we are now seeing young people that never smoked addicted to vaping. Paediatric respiratory physician and survey co-author Professor Philip Pattemore said vaping is perceived as being low-risk by teenagers, yet “Vaping with nicotine has been consistently associated with depression, ADHD and conduct disorders in adolescents, and nicotine exposure has been shown to impact learning and memory,” Pattemore said.

Not all vape liquids contain nicotine, but most do, and nicotine is very addictive. Because of the misconstrued 'health benefits' vaping has not attracted the same social stigma that cigarette smoking has, yet the marketing of vapes and vape juices is also significantly different to that of cigarettes and appears to be designed specifically to appeal to a young audience.

Vapes come in thousands of unmistakably child-friendly flavours with enticing names. The flavours mask the taste of the nicotine and other chemicals contained in the e-liquid, making it easier for the aerosol to be inhaled. Contrary to popular belief, the aerosol is not simply water vapour, it contains a variety of chemicals, heavy metals and fine particles that can be both toxic and dangerous when they are absorbed into the bloodstream through vaping.

We also know that students often share vapes and supply one another and unfortunately, these factors have combined to see rapid increases in rates of youth vaping throughout New Zealand and a growing health issue that schools are being forced to respond to.

The Health Effects of Vaping

How whānau can support

  • Come along to our ‘Parenting in the Basin’ information evening on Thursday 20th June, 6pm in the Theatre to hear more from some local experts.
  • Kōrero. Talk to your children about vaping. Explore the facts together on the Vaping Facts website. How to Talk About Vaping has useful tips on finding the right moment, what to ask and how to respond and the Drug Foundation’s Conversation Planner can help you plan out a supportive conversation. Treat vaping situations (such as vape shops or advertisements) as learning opportunities to ask them what they know, what they think, and how they feel. The website Don't Get Sucked In also provides factual information and can provide a good starting point for discussions about the impact of vaping.
  • Find support for your child if they want to stop vaping. Students also have free access to a registered Health Nurse who visits the school every Monday and Friday at Ako time in one of the meeting rooms opposite the sickbay. No booking is required and students can come and wait to see the nurse. Text: 027 4648990 email: maria.frewen@southerndhb.govt.nz. You can also find your local stop smoking service here or contact Quitline. 
  • Join the Vape-free Kids Facebook page to find resources, share stories and experiences and to support the cause.
  • Check out the Protect Your Breath campaign, designed to explore creative opportunities to interrupt these ideas and behavioural norms and to encourage young people to think critically about their use of vaping products.
  • Be a positive role model. If you are a smoker or vaper, talk to your child about your experiences and how hard it is to quit. Consider getting your own support to stop. 
  • If you are concerned that your child is vaping, consider checking the likes of their school bag for vapes or related products.

Information is power in this space and we look forward to seeing many of you at our parent evening in late June.

Hillary Challenge Team Presents to Queenstown Rotary Club

Pete Davis, Neill Boniface (President of Queenstown Rotary), Jude Deaker, Jess Hudson, Tom Schenk, Elsbeth Purdue, Seb Watson and Siena Mackley. 

This week our 2023 Hillary Challenge Team delivered a very well presented talk to Rotary International - Queenstown to thank them for the generous donation they received last year for their event. Each student spoke about different aspects of the event from fundraising, and training to a day-by-day recount of the events they participated in. The National Final, held in Tongariro, really pushed them to their limits, helped them to develop leadership skills, resilience and teamwork. They are looking forward to having another crack at the Challenge this year.

Geography in the Best Classroom Around

Fieldwork occurs at all year levels in Geography. In Year 13, students get to take much more control over the process by putting forward their own areas of focus and research questions to investigate. They also must design a program to identify, collect, and analyze all of the data needed to answer these questions.

With this in mind, a group of 24 students headed to the stunning landscape of Aoraki - Mt. Cook to conduct this fieldwork. We were blessed with sunshine and clear roads for our journey up and down the Southern Alps. For two nights, the students enjoyed the comforts of Unwin Lodge and the endless vistas visible from the decks and surroundings. Interesting and varied menus were produced in the kitchen, and all seemed to eat heartily. Successful research was conducted on several topics, including sustainability, vegetation management, dark sky tourism, cultural integration, and water quality in and around the National Park and Mt. Cook Village. Bookending the research was the chance to stretch our legs and take in the scenery on several of the trails and scenic viewpoints of the lakes and the glacial environment. An informative planetarium presentation also provided context and additional knowledge to our experience. The cherry on our enjoyable sundae of a trip was the appearance of the Aurora  Australis, although not quite in the league of the previous week’s display.

Thanks and appreciation are extended to Mr. Jack and Mrs. Richards for their valuable assistance. I would also like to acknowledge Simon and Pip at Unwin Lodge and Ray Bellringer of DOC for their hospitality and insight offered to our students.

Spamalot and WHS

Jake Hansen gave us a great update on Spamalot - "Over the past three months, Wakatipu High School has supported and rehearsed for the current ShowBiz Season of Spamalot: students Baxter Bamford, Keiran Leftley, Hunter Cotterill, and Felix Nicoll in tech roles. Isabella Newell, Ava Weston and Sophia Brown are supporting make-up. Indiarose Berryman in the costume department, along with a number of students supporting the front-of-house team. With behind-the-scenes support, Ex-students Jack Speedy and Maddox Newell have taken to the stage for their first Showbiz production. 

Last night, a group of 30 WHS students went to the Theatre for a backstage tour and to watch the show. By all accounts, the students enjoyed the experience and brought a real flare to the show's atmosphere. The Season continues tonight and Saturday night, and it is definitely a show you don't want to miss. 

A huge thanks again to Queenstown Showbiz for their continued support of our Arts community."
