✨Trident Teacher Wins National Rising Star Award✨

Deane Reynolds, a standout Health and Physical Education teacher at Trident High School, has received national recognition by winning Te Aranga o Puanga – The Rising Star Award at the 2025 Physical Education New Zealand (PENZ) Conference. This award recognises a teacher in their first five years who has made a notable impact in the delivery of quality physical education and shown strong passion for engaging tamariki and rangatahi in movement.

Now in just her second year of teaching, Deane was nominated by her Head of Department, Mel Emery, for the incredible impact she has had on both students and colleagues. Known for her meticulous planning, innovative teaching strategies, and ability to bring theory to life through practical application, Deane has quickly become an integral part of the department.

She currently leads the Year 9 Outdoor Education (9OED) programme and teaches Level 1 and Level 2 Sport Science as well as junior Physical Education. This year, she also stepped up into the role of Assistant Head of Department, providing invaluable support and leadership.

Deane’s award recognises her positive influence on student learning, her ability to inspire fellow educators, and her commitment to delivering engaging, high-quality physical education. The Trident High School community is incredibly proud of her achievement and excited to see what the future holds for this rising star.

Trident Boys Football - Light Up Whakatāne!

What an incredible evening at the Light Up Whakatāne Festival on Saturday, 5th July!

Our players proudly ran a ‘Free Winter Warmers’ stall, handing out delicious hot chocolates and biscuits- an absolute hit on such a cold evening! The warmth and appreciation from the community made it all the more special.

To help fundraise for Tournament Week, the boys also ran a Sausage Sizzle and Drinks Stall, which was incredibly well-received. It was great to see so many people stopping by, chatting with the team, and supporting their efforts.

Trident is immensely proud to support this amazing community event and to see our students giving back in such a positive way. We’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year-and making it even bigger and better!

Thank you to everyone who came out, supported the boys, and shared in the Winter Warmers- we hope you loved them!

🎉Congratulations to all our students who have been selected to represent the Eastern Bay of Plenty at the BOPRU Youth Development Cup!

The tournament will take place on Tuesday, 8 July and Wednesday, 9 July.

All the best to everyone competing!

Senior girls rugby

Our Senior Girls also closed their season on a high, with a strong 49–27 win over Ōpōtiki College, finishing 5th in the BOP Secondary Schools Senior Competition. Another massive effort from our seniors displaying great skills and some awesome rugby.
A massive mihi and thank you to our coaches, managers, and whānau- your support makes all the difference.

High fives all round for the Trident 1st XI girls who last night won a very exciting final against Whakatāne High School to take 1st place for Round 1 in the BOP Secondary Hockey Competition.

The game was played with great spirit and the final whistle result was a 1-all draw, which meant a shoot-out to determine the winner. Trident was able to come away with the win after a 2-1 result from a very nervous shoot-out.

Well done girls! 🎉

Thank you and Good Luck to Ivy from Let's Roll Skating !!

Over the past few years, the amazing Ivy Bates from Let’s Roll Skating has been bringing the joy of roller skating to Trident, giving our students regular opportunities to get involved and give it a go!
Our students always have an absolute blast when Ivy visits, and we’d like to give her a huge shoutout and heartfelt thanks for providing such an awesome experience for our school community.

We’re also incredibly excited to celebrate Ivy’s recent selection into the Team New Zealand Roller Derby Squad- what an achievement! Ivy and the team are off to Austria this month to compete in the Roller Derby World Cup!

All the best Ivy!
Go Team NZ!
