The Hepara Team have been working behind the scenes this year supporting families and students providing
lunches and financial support.

in this situation yourself.
Our Team, with the generosity of our wonderful PTA, can assist with Attendance Dues Assistance
Applications, School Fees, Camps, Uniforms, food hampers and other assistance.
If you would like to confidentially speak to us about how we can help, please be in contact with Liz Lock on
07 929 9661 or email Liz.lock@jpc.school.nz
We would once again like to thank our JPC community for their generosity in donating to our Hepara Fund
so we can help our families in need.
STAFF APPOINTMENTS
Deputy Principal/Wellbeing Kaihautū Māori
I am very pleased to announced that Ms Ally Gibbons has been appointed by the Board to replace our long
serving and highly respected Deputy Principal Mrs Ali McHugh. Ms Gibbons has a long association with JPC
and MacKillop College as the HOD, Physical Education.
She was the former Principal of Rotorua Girls High and of two Catholic High Schools, St Catherine’s,
Wellington and Sacred Heart College, Hamilton.
We are very fortunate to have someone of her calibre and experience join our staff.
Mr Whare Clarke Teacher In Charge of Kapa Haka
I am delighted to announce that Mr Clarke will be joining JPC as the TiC of Kapa Haka. He is a former student
of JPC and has considerable expertise in Kapa Haka. He is also fluent in Te Reo Maori. Whare has a passion
for basketball which is a popular sport at JPC.
Ms Georgia Taylor
Ms Taylor who is currently on staff as in a part time capacity has been appointed to a full-time position within
the Humanities Faculty. She has proven to be an excellent teacher with a wide skill set that will benefit our
students.
PRELIMINARY EXAMS
The senior students commence their prelim exams this Wednesday. Please support your children by
encouraging them to do their best, turn up and ask for assistance if they are struggling. Once your children
get their marks back take an interest in them. Celebrate what they have done well. If the results are
disappointing, encourage them to talk it through with teachers.
PUNCTUALITY
Being punctual to school is not only in the best interests of your child’s learning, it is an important life
discipline. Employers won’t accept lateness. Turning up late to official functions and social occasions is
perceived as rude and a sign of being disorganised.
Many of our students are late to school without a reasonable excuse which frustrates teachers and
disadvantages your child’s progress. We would appreciate you talking to your child about the importance
of punctuality and supporting staff who may need to speak to your children when they are not punctual.
God bless
Patrick Walsh
Principal

E: paulene.walsh@jpc.school.nz
Due to the disruptions of Covid-19, this year we are going to run the Year 8 Camp a bit
YEAR 8 differently. Instead of staying overnight at the camp we will run two day trips to Tui Ridge
Adventure Park - on Monday the 22nd of November and Tuesday the 23rd of November. This
way the camp can run if we are in Level 1 or 2 in a safer, more cost-effective way and the
students will not miss out on the fun activities. Further details and revised cost will be sent out
2021 once everything is finalised with Tui Ridge and the bus company.

JOHN PAUL COLLEGE FOOTBALL
1st XI Boys’ Football
John Paul College Boys’ 1st XI also had a superb season, being crowned champions of the Baywide Youth Division 1
over the weekend with an excellent win over Papamoa. The game took place on a glorious morning over at Papamoa
College, with conditions perfect for the game. John Paul College went two up in the first half with excellent goals from
Joshua Tavendale and Cailyn Trask but made things a little nervy for themselves by conceding towards the end of
the first half. However, they came out firing on all cylinders in the second half, with Adam Foley scoring four goals,
one of which he scored from a corner. Papamoa scored a consolation in the second half, but the gap between the two
teams was just too much on the day and JPC came out as deserving victors, the game ending 6-2 to JPC.
There have been a number of standout players including captain
Marcus Mellors, Cailyn Trask, Adam Foley, Joel Sutton and Joshua
Tavendale; but to be fair, the whole team have had a superb
season and have seamlessly slotted together under the
direction of their coach, Steve Sutton. Steve, with the assistance
of Robin Foley, has run the team with a rigorous approach to
training and the development of a superb team spirit, united and
focused on playing good football. They took a defeat in the first
game against Katikati and then an unexpected loss against Trident
mid-season, but in the top tier decider in the second half of the year JPC were undefeated, score 25 goals with only 6
conceded. Notable wins were the return against Katikati, Tauranga Boys and this final game against Papamoa, who
were our closest rivals.
Special thanks go to our coach, Steve Sutton, who has guided them consistently and passionately throughout the
season; Robin Foley, who has assisted Steve, particularly in the training of this group of boys; and of course, the
parents, who have travelled all over the Bay to give the boys the opportunity to compete. A further special mention
is noted for Jan and Ingrid Snyman at Index Engineering, who sponsored the boys for their track tops.
Looking forward to next year, the JPC Boys will have the challenge of the Premier Division, a whole new level of
challenge for them, but one which I am sure they will rise to.
Congratulations to the team on such an excellent achievement.
1st XI Girls’ Football
John Paul College 1st XI Girls’ Football have had another outstanding season, ending the season as champions of the
Central Bay of Plenty Secondary Schools Football competition for the third year in a row. Once again, they were
undefeated, scoring 57 goals in total and only conceding 4! The girls’ conquered allcomers, often racking up double
digit scores. Our nearest rivals were down the long road to Taupo at Tauhara College, but we were able to beat them
4-1 in our first game and then claim the title with a 5-1 win in the final game of the season.
Outstanding players were all over the field, but standouts have been captain Lilly Rowe, Allie Clarke, Melanie Van
der Bruggen and Kendall Williams.
Our thanks particularly go to our coach Gary Benfell, who has led the team to three successive championships.
He has dedicated his time to coaching our students in training sessions and at every game throughout the last three
seasons and has done so with little drama or complaint. The school and community appreciate all that he has done in
giving these students opportunities in their sporting lives. Sadly, this will be Gary’s last season and we wish him all the
best for the future.

UPDATE FROM MASSEY UNIVERSITY
This latest outbreak is a good reminder for us of why digital information and events still play an important role in our
world. We are very grateful that we ran a virtual open day event once again this year, which is still available to
watch https://opendays.massey.ac.nz/livestream/ .The Virtual Open Day website is a one stop shop for your students
to find out everything they need to know about Massey University.
However, if any of students want to speak with one of our team about their study options with us, please do not
hesitate to get in touch.
