Congratulations to all our Award Winners!
From the Principal Tena Koutou Katoa, Talofa Lava, Malo e lelei, Dia Duit, Dear Parents, Guardians & Whānau, 2020 has been a tremendously challenging year in so many ways. However, there is always lots to be thankful for and we as a community have grown stronger together as a result. I am very proud of what we have achieved when faced with adversity. Our girls and teachers showed strength in resilience, thinking past themselves and continued to have strong faith. It was this strength that gave us all the ability to sustain the positive energy and ongoing care and concern for those around us. The Gospel values that became our focus this year were Aroha and Hope. I believe it is all our Gospel Values that give our girls the extra resilience that is needed by our young people in todays society. Aroha and Hope allowed us to live out our theme this year of ‘Hearts for the World’. As an RNDM school we receive a strong spiritual foundation and values formation. We are thought to strive for personal excellence, learn respect for others, have respect for creation and the environment and always have a heart for the world. Our Prizegiving and Thanksgiving Mass were as always, enjoyable events showcasing our girls achievements. In all areas of school life, be they academic, arts, cultural or sporting, we have witnessed effort and achieve- ment which is worthy of celebration. As a small integrated girls school, we continue to perform at a very high level in all areas. This is a clear indication of the quality people we have in our midst and the support the school gets from our wonderful community. As we look ahead towards 2021, our focus will continue to ensure that we are the school of choice for our Catholic families. We have a beautiful and spiritual environment with good teaching facilities. We have outstanding people and a culture where it is cool to succeed and celebrate success. We have a happy school and one where there is a pride of belonging. It is a great place to be, made all the better by the quality of our people. To everyone who has been associated with the school this year, may I offer to you all my thanks for your contribution and my best wishes for a safe, happy Christmas and a wonderful summer holiday. God Bless Maria Neville-Foster Principal

The Church was filled with families of the
students receiving the Sacraments and other
students who came to support them.
Great celebration by all.
Labyrinth
The Labyrinth was created by the Spirit of Sacred
Heart students and was blessed by
Father Trung on the top green. The senior

Retreats
The Year 13 Retreat was a great day; the students welcomed Bridget Kelly-Lowe (ex-student)

The Staff Retreat was combined with the staff of St John’s College and led by Murray Adams and Nicola

encounters with Christ. Hopefully, this will become an annual event.
The Year 9 Retreat had the theme of “Hope,” and the Year 10 retreat was on “Equity and Respect.” Sister
Helen O’ Sullivan spoke to the Year 9 students about how the Mission Sisters bring Hope to the world followed
by Father Trung who said Mass for them. Teresa Shanks, who is the Caritas representative for the Diocese of

Y10 Camp
This year our Y10 Camp was at the Tuki Tuki Christian Camp. Our girls
took part in Archerysoft and Raft Building on the Clive river run by
instructors from YMCA Hawke’s Bay. They also did some Orienteering
at Te Mata Peak run by Hawke’s Bay Orienteering. It was a great
experience for our girls to learn about the surrounding area and take
part in some activities that they had never done before. Some of the
feedback from our girls was that they really liked the team building
aspect and getting to know their peers better, all without their phones
for most of the camp. The biggest learning from camp for a few students
was getting to sleep early so they had enough energy to tackle
challenges the next day. Well done girls and a big thank you to our staff
who were able to help out during the two days,
we appreciate your time and effort.
Safer Routes to School
This term we have been working with Napier City Council and a local
research company FOLKL to improve student safety when travelling to
school. A group of senior and junior students were invited to have their
say and give their input on the roads around SHC, including the pros and
cons on the different ways they get to school. We are hoping to
encourage more of our school whānau to choose active forms of

This has been the first year of the Year 9 Drama
option for our students and despite the
challenges that 2020 put up, it has been an
absolute joy to teach.
The first option started brilliantly but ended in
lockdown – the girls managed their assessment
by video recording monologues. The second
option started in lockdown learning about Greek
and Maori theatre traditions and then came
back to the classroom, ending with short script
performances. The third and fourth options
finished with a wonderful student-led interpre-
tation of the witches’ scenes from Macbeth.
I have seen our students gain confidence, take risks, collaborate, and engage in moments of fun and real
joy. In 2021 the Year 9 option will be taught by Mrs Howlett and Year 10 by myself and Mrs Heather Read.
We cannot wait!

Eva WrightFinal Message from our House Leaders
It has been a such privilege this year for us to be
the Holderness house leaders. As we both started
our SHC schooling in the green colour, it made it
all the more special that we are able to finish our
SHC final year in green. This year our house goals
were focused around our flax bush ethos. At the
beginning of the year the Holderness
leadership cohort came up with the analogy
Whakatipu Wahine Kaha ‘Growing strong
women’, represented by the Harakeke plant. We
understood the green colour as a symbol of
growth in which we have watched each and every
one of our girls achieve this year. Although this
year’s house events were hugely affected by
2020’s issues, in the events we did manage to
have, we couldn’t be more thankful for the effort
and participation from our girls. Through this role
we have both learnt to expect the unexpected and
how to lift the spirits of those who were looking up to us, to lead them in times of strife (e.g. COVID19). We
would like to take this opportunity to thank our green team for your participation, spirit and culture that you all
brought to our year. Both our seniors and our juniors have supported one another with passion and pride for
themselves, each other and most importantly their house! Through your sheer determination and drive to win,
we as house captions are proud no matter the overall placings. Thank you to all the girls who helped us out this
year, we could not have done it without you. Most importantly a massive thank you to Mrs. Jamieson for
putting in 200%, working with us behind the scenes making everything possible, your help has been massively
appreciated. We have no doubt that our beloved Holderness will be left in the best hands next year and for that
we wish you all the best.
Kelsie Hawkins & Anna Restieaux Holderness House Leaders 2020
Tasha Taii and I, Ana Worthington, had the
privilege of being the Marian house leaders for
2020. While it was a great challenge due to
Covid19, it was an amazing opportunity for us to
connect with our Sacred Heart sisters as well as
the other leaders. Both Tasha and I are
extremely proud of the girls in our house for the
amount of effort they gave in our house events
which has resulted in very good results for
Marian. We wish the leaders for next year all the
best and hope that they are able to implement
the same house spirit that we have seen
throughout this very challenging year. We would
also like to extend our appreciation towards the
tutor teachers who have supported us
throughout this year and to Mrs McFarland, for
her amazing commitment to our house as our
dean for 2020. Overall, this year has been a true
Ana Worthington & Tasha Taii challenge for us all but we have pushed through
Marian House Leaders 2020 and been able to have an amazing year
nonetheless.Sports Wrap Up
Term 4 Sports:
This term we have had SHC teams representing in Volleyball, Futsal, Cricket and
Ki o Rahi.
Our three Junior Volleyball teams
competed in the Hawke’s Bay Secondary
School’s competition. All teams have had a
great season and have improved since the
. beginning of term. A special mention to our
Junior Gold team who placed 4th in the
second division, well done girls. A big thank
you to our coaches and team managers; Kara Aluni, Mr.

we could not run our teams without you.
This term we were fortunate enough to have a com-
bined Cricket team with Napier Girls High School. Our
girls represented SHC well and have been able to enjoy
the game. We hope to grow our Cricket numbers to
field our own full Cricket team next year.

High School have had a great season. Thank
you to Whaea Henrietta Hillman for managing
our team this term.
