We are lucky to welcome two new teachers to Trident this term and we know our Trident community will make them welcome. Their faces will be familiar to many as regular relievers in our school prior to taking up their current positions. Welcome to Mrs Hill and Mrs Williamson! "Kia ora koutou, My name is Daralyn Hill, I am a local girl born and breed on Motuore Farm 10 minutes out of Ohope. I am an ex Trident student and since leaving Trident and after university, I spent my first five years teaching at Opotiki College, then two years at Gisborne Girls High School and have since been in and out of Trident relief teaching over the past four years. I have a five year old at Ohope Beach Primary and a four year old starting school this year in term four. I will be part-time at Trident in the Physical Education and Science department and am also part time working on our family farm. I am a total outdoor enthusiast especially in adventure racing and hunting/fishing. I look forward to passing on my passion of the outdoors through teaching, building new relationships with students and helping out with sport teams. Kia ora to Karen Williamson! Mrs Williamson is an English, Social Sciences and History teacher who is passionate about her students and education. Her husband, Steve Williamson also teaches English at Trident High School, and they have two children, a daughter Isla who is 6 and son Oscar aged 4. Mrs Williamson grew up in Whakatane and attended Whakatane High School. She earned her degree from Canterbury University, and moved back to Whakatane a week before the Christchurch earthquake in 2011. Since arriving back in the Bay of Plenty, Mrs Williamson has worked at Opōtiki College. She has enjoyed getting to know our kura community, and looks forward to continuing her journey at Trident going forward.

We are proud to introduce Ms Jan Foster and Ms Jaime- Lee Coffey who are our new team responsible for our Library Hub. Beginning with a bang they have set up a “Banned Books” promotion which promotes books that are routinely challenged in libraries around the world. The uptake has been great and Ms Foster along with Ms Coffey have been interested in sharing with students explanations of why books have been banned and have enticed these readers to look further into the ‘banned books’. Ms Foster has taken on the Library Administrator role and says “I am enjoying the library atmosphere and the students that engage with me in the library. I am working with students to increase their understanding and independence of how they can navigate their way around the library both physically and electronically to utilise our resources for study and recreational reading. I am passionate about encouraging students to read for understanding and enjoyment and look forward to working with Ms Coffey and drawing on her extensive literary knowledge to create many exciting projects this year.” Ms Coffey comments “through literature we gain insight, empathy and it is a great way to critically engage with the world we live in. I am excited to continue to share my love of literature with our students through my role in the library.” We acknowledge how ideal our Library team combination is - with Ms Foster as an IT specialist in the digital resourcing space and her well established place in the school combined with Ms Coffey’s enthusiasm and knowledge of what young people want to access through literature and digital media, our Library Hub is in great hands!

We are proud to announce that Trust Horizon has generously provided our Engineering class with a $6k grant to go towards the building of Electric Go Karts. Each year our Level 2 programme sees students successfully design and build their own Go Kart, much to the delight of peers and teachers who see our students proudly drive them at the end of the year. Students can choose to build either fossil fuel driven Go Karts or EV Go Karts. Historically, drive motors have ranged from 49 to 500cc petrol engines, and five Electric EV Go-Karts have been built over the last 5 years (4 x 800W DC & 1 x 800W AC). However, this year, 12 (or 75%) of the Level 2 Go Karts will be electric. When students submitted their design proposals, Mr Dobbin was thrilled to see so many shifting away from fossil fuels and towards electric. Especially as the designs were proposed before the Trust Horizon funding was announced. With the Trust Horizon grant subsidising the cost of EV projects, even more students will be encouraged to choose the EV option. The EV learning that students gain in Mr Dobbin's Engineering class aligns with Trust Horizon's community outcome of Energy Education & Engagement; facilitating new ideas, enabling new opportunities and understanding, and creating growth. Likewise, Trust Horizon’s outcomes align with Trident’s Energy Efficiency focus. With Trust Horizon’s grant encouraging the selection of EV projects, more students will be given the opportunity to learn about electricity in a hands-on, tangible and fun way – including topics such as electrical drive system technology, relationships of volts vs speed (rpm) & current (amp) vs torque, physical electrical componentry, methods of connection & circuit protection, electrical safety, energy storage (batteries, types & volume (Ah)), distribution (circuits) & transfer of electrical power to mechanical motive power through the drive train. Students will learn that EVs are a viable alternative to traditional fossil fuel driven machines. Not only are they clean, practically silent, and safer to replenish by simply plugging in – they are also significantly cheaper to run. The students’ EV learnings have the added benefit of influencing & educating whānau and the wider community. So they, too, can recognise the simplicity and benefits of electrical drive systems. "Energy underpins almost everything we do, and having students able to learn hands-on how electric vehicles work and showcase how they will help us become more sustainable is very exciting,” says Trust Horizon trustee, Merrin Stables. “We hope to be able to lend our support across more of these exciting learning opportunities throughout the EBOP.” Trident thanks Trust Horizon and Mr Dobbin for giving our students the opportunity to learn more about EV projects.

I was born in Whakatane but my whanau are originally from Te Araroa. However, I have spent most of my life teaching in the Tai Tokerau rohe. My whanau are also from Kaikohe/Ngawha. I am a Nga Puhi girl! Before Trident, I was Hub leader for Year 7-10 at Murupara Area School and shared a SENco position putting support in place for students who are struggling at kura. My position at Trident is very similar where I share an LSC (Learning Support Coordinator) position with a colleague. I also teach Social Studies and have a year 10 Whanau Ako class. Something interesting about me is that I am getting married soon, so very exciting! I feel inspired by students. I believe they teach us, as teachers, how to be the best we can be!" Welcome to Mr Richard Pinckney! Mr Pinckney has joined our PE department where he will teach PE and Health as well as being a part of the Social Science department teaching Social Studies. Before joining us at Trident Mr Pinckney was teaching at Paraparaumu College, 40 mins north of Wellington where he was for 13 years. He has moved to Whakatane where the promise of a lovely small town and great climate awaits, but he also heard that at Trident we have great students so he is excited to join our Trident whanau. Asked what inspires him, Mr Pinckney says that he likes to see students achieve their goals and he is motivated through his active pursuits. Something interesting you may like to know.... If you hear of another Mr Pinckney teaching PE outside of Trident you are not mistaken... he has a twin brother who also teaches PE!

Over the holidays Nate flew down to Dunedin with another 6 students from the wider Bay of Plenty where the group met with a guide for an all expenses paid week at Otago University. The guide, who is a University student, took the group to Otago University to meet up with the rest of students in the Academy. There were 60 Year 13 students from around the country in the Academy, lots of whom are now Nate’s friends who he is keeping in touch with and who may be at University with him next year. The week long camp consisted of two projects, one elective and fun activities each day. One of the projects was a group Chemistry one where the students were combining chemical compounds to change colour. All powders and solutions were made from scratch on the first day and then the magic of colour creation happened on the second day. Another project that Nate enjoyed was Computer Science one where he wrote a whole new code that operated a circuit which commanded a light to turn off and on. From there he extended this to include a button in the operation. Nate was lucky enough to be able to choose his interest area for his elective - Quantam Physics. In this elective he played with liquid nitrogen, experimenting with the properties of the liquid. One of these experiments saw him pour the liquid into a coke bottle, put the coke bottle onto the floor, a bucket over the coke bottle and then a chair over the bucket. What eventuated was a massive explosion as the liquid turned into gas and burst out of the coke bottle, broke the bottle, the bucket and the chair. Nate enjoyed learning about the science of the explosion and also enjoyed another experiment where he made a super conductor. Team building and social activities saw the group playing laser tag, splitting into two teams of 20 and having a blast. The students got to experience university life, such as eating in the dining halls, where they mingled with lecturers and other university students. Nate thoroughly enjoyed the camp and it has cemented his aim of working towards a Science career. Nate encourages anyone who is considering a Science career to talk to him about joining a camp and have a go! In the video above, Nate is controlling the drone with his brain waves - his relaxed state vs his active state translates to different actions for the drone!

Trident Basketball teams finished the season on a high with excellent results all round. They won all 4 grades in the EBOP competition and won medals in 3 grades of the Tauranga competition with 1 grade to go. After a month off the court due to lockdown, the teams headed into finals in the Tauranga competition and Senior finals in the EBOP competition. The Junior girls coached by Jordan Karaitiana, were undefeated in the EBOP competition. They played the consistently strong Te Kura Kokiri girls in the final. In a hard fought game by both teams, Trident led early but TKK managed to get a 6 point lead in the 4th quarter. Trident dug deep to come back for the win 63-58. The girls also did well in the Tauranga competition. They had mixed results in pool play winning some games by big margins and losing tougher games to teams like Rotorua Girls High and Tauranga Girls. Having lost to Tauranga girls previously, Trident had a hard task ahead of them. With Level 2 restrictions in place, no spectators were allowed but we were grateful to Tauranga Basketball Assoc. for livestreaming all finals. Trident put up a solid effort but couldn’t match the experience of their opposition. We are all very proud of the girls and commend them on winning gold in EBOP and silver in Tauranga. In the Junior boys grade of the EBOP competition, Te Ahuroa Cossey’s A team went through undefeated. With thanks to senior players, Brad Sparrow and Cy Coldiron Trident were able to field another team, Junior boys blue. Trident blue had mixed results in pool play but did well to make the semi finals against Opotiki College. Trident came away with a 39-24 win to set up an all Trident final. In their previous encounter, Trident Junior blue put up a great effort against the Junior boys A team. However, at finals time the A team switched up executing their plays well to take the win comfortably. Gold and Silver in the EBOP Junior boys grade is a great result for both teams and their coaches. A big thank you to managers Steve Loft and Julie Reihana. In the Tauranga competition, Trident Junior A boys did well in pool play to rank number 1 in their pool. Unfortunately, they were unable to gain the win in the quarterfinals to Bethlehem College which knocked them out of contention. Trident Senior girls ended their season strong with a good win over Opotiki College in the EBOP finals. Always strong opponents, Opotiki played well to keep the score line even at the start. Tridents team play was their strength in the end which led to a good win. Going into playoffs in the Tauranga competition, the Senior girls were ranked 3rd. They met Mount College girls in the semis going down by 6 points. With determination to finish well, the girls dug deep to beat Te Puke HS to win bronze. Thanks to manager Tui Hanlen and coach Jared Davis for your work this season. The Senior boys Blue team coached by Julie Farrell also had a great season. For various reasons they lost players along the way but managed to keep a good core team together. Ranked 5th at quarter finals, they beat WHS Black in a close game. They then had the tough task of playing WHS gold in the semis with WHS going on to win. In the Tauranga competition the Senior blue team did well to gain some wins with big score lines in pool play. They won their semi final against Bethlehem College B team 96-51 then went on to win their final against Tauranga Boys College Legends 72-62. A great effort by the team to bring home the gold. Trident Senior A boys met WHS Gold in the final of the EBOP competition. After lockdown and lots of comms to sort out a venue and date, the finals were set. With a change of Level 2 restrictions, some spectators were allowed in to watch. This was especially good for our Yr 13s parents to come and watch the last school game for their sons. The game was close and tense throughout. The teams traded leads in the first quarter, but Whakatane was able to pull ahead in the 2nd behind good three-point shooting and aggressive rebounding. They led by as many as 12 points before ending the half ahead by 48-37. Trident came back strong in the 3rd quarter, scoring 26 points to take a 63-58 lead. The defence took over in the 4th quarter only allowing Whakatane to score 11 points and never giving up the lead. Trident's balance (every player on the team scored) and fitness proved decisive and this was a great match to end the competition. Trident Senior Boys A winning 81-74 to take gold in the EBOP championship. In the Senior Boys Prem grade in the Tauranga competition, Trident improved steadily throughout the season. Gaining wins against Mount College Red and Aquinas in the last 2 pool games placing Trident in 4th place. After a month off the court due to lockdown, the boys had the difficult task of taking on Mount College Grey in the semis. Trident gave it everything they had but it wasn’t enough to match MMC in the end. The boys have one game left playing Waihi College for the bronze medal next week. Thanks to coaches Zavia Walker and Matua Mike Te Kurapa for guiding the team through the season. Trident basketball would like to thank all of those that have supported us this year.

Welcome to Mr Alex Kim! Mr Kim is our new Head of Music at Trident and students and staff alike are already enjoying having him on our staff. "I'm originally from South Korea, but I came to New Zealand in 1994 and went to Mt Maunganui College. I studied Music and Teaching in Victoria University of Wellington, and I spent around 7 years teaching in a number of schools in Auckland. I was also working in a different Music Industry - KBB Music and Rockshop around the country, working closely with schools and churches. My family moved to Whakatane at the beginning of 2020, when I started teaching Music in Edgecumbe College until the middle of this year when I started at Trident. I play piano, flute, guitar, bass, saxophone, percussions, and ukulele. My passion for Music heavily lies in composing and arranging, but I played piano and percussions for West City Concert Band for years and I would like to develop a band program at Trident High School. I also played keys and bass for a number of cover bands, and I am eager to work with students who wishes to enter RockQuest and PlayItStrange." Mrs Tracey Greenwood has joined our Trident staff post lockdown and we welcome her to Trident in an academic mentoring support role with some Year 12 learners until November. Mrs Greenwood's teaching journey began in 2002 and over the years she has taught at both primary and secondary schools in NZ and the UK. She left her most recent job as a Curriculum Learning Designer and Literacy Coach at Ormiston Junior College in Auckland to support her husband (Mr Greenwood) with his new role as Deputy Principal at Trident High School. If you are interested in any overseas exchanges in the future (when travel resumes) it might be a good idea to talk to Mrs Greenwood who in her Year 13 year was an exchange student in Switzerland. Mrs Greenwood says she is inspired and motivated by "family, having a purpose and knowing who you are." We look forward to getting to know Mrs Greenwood and hope you will show her a warm Trident welcome. Welcome to Jo McGowan who will be helping out in the Careers and Futures Academy departments. Prior to starting at Trident this term Mrs McGowan was at a High School in Regional Western Australia - Newman Senior High School - Newman is a small mining town about 1200 km's north of Perth where it is always warm and sunny! Mrs McGowan moved to Whakatane as her husband's family all live around this area and "we wanted to be closer to them, doesn't everyone want to live near their Mother In Law?? haha" Something that many of our students who are animal lovers might like to know about Mrs McGowan is that when she lived in Australia she helped run an animal rescue group and had 17 foster dogs, 6 foster cats and five foster kangaroos at one stage! Isn't that impressive! Please extend a big Trident welcome to Mrs McGowan and give her a wave as you pass the Careers office.

Over lockdown Mrs Reihana's Year 10 class was given the challenge titled: Way Back When? Students were to choose a favourite homemade meal or dessert and find out it's history. In their research many students reconnected with elderly family members when looking into recipes that have been popular in families for many generations. They learnt important information about the lives their family lived many years ago and are continuing on the legacy of making these family favourite foods. Now back at school they have been experimenting with these family recipes and have a new found appreciation for these family recipes and the sustainable practices their family used in baking. Well done to our Food Tech students who have combined history and family history with food technology, a great assignment and it is neat to see grandma's recipes make their way into Trident! Way back when? By Layla Rowland Grandma’s mum Rolled oat biscuits Ingredients- 1 cup of flour 1 cup of coconut 1 cup of rolled oats ¾ cup of sugar ¼ cup of peanuts ¼ cup of sultanas 2 heaped tbsp of golden syrup 170g of butter 1 tsp of baking powder 1 tsp of baking soda 1 tsp of mixed spice Pinch of salt Directions- Mix all dry ingredients thoroughly in a bowl. Melt butter and golden syrup and add to dry ingredients. Mix well Place in flat tin (12 inches x 8 inches Bake at 180 degrees for 20 mins Cut into squares whilst hot History This recipe is my grandma’s, and she got it from her mum. Back then the only way to find recipes was from other people as there was no internet, so no doubt she would have got it from her mother as well and so on. I did some research and found out that rolled oat cookies come from England dating all the way back to the 1800’s, but it is also believed that they originated from oatcakes. These oat cakes were carried with the soldiers around the wars as their boost of energy during their battle. My grandma prepares them when we come over or she comes to us as a treat. However, back when my grandma was little her mum would make these for her every week as she didn’t work and she loved to bake, along with 2 other dishes as my great grandmother believed that if you turn the oven on you should make the most of it, as the ovens back then took longer to heat up. She would cook three dishes every Saturday morning as it was considered baking morning. My great grandma made these all the time for my grandma until she was married and then she passed the recipe onto my grandma. She also passed it to her granddaughter Julie because she loved them as well. I think this recipe has survived so long because both my families originate from England, and this recipe originated from england. The recipe is adaptable because you can add whatever you want in them. It doesn't have to be sultanas and peanuts, it can even be plain. My great grandma's adaptations were: adding ¼ cup of sugar less than the recipe and more golden sugar, adding ¼ more of sultanas and nuts, using brown sugar if you wanted something less sweet and adding wholemeal flour instead of normal flour. I believe that the cooking time will become shorter as the ovens get hotter and more variations will adapt as more products will be created. This recipe has come from my great grandma, to my grandma and now to me. Hannah Baxter: "This challenge connected me with Grandma, who was excited about sharing the recipe." Hannah was surprised that her grandmother knew the history of the carrot cake. The carrot cake recipe was a bit 'out there' because there was a reluctance to have vegetables in a cake at the time. Hannah has discovered that there are a lot more family recipes that have been passed down than she thought such as pumpkin cake, whitebait fritters, berry muffins just to name a few. Emily: There are recipes of Great Grandma’s that have never been tried because they went down to Aunty P. Uncle Donald, who lives in the South Island is a chef and was the only one who got the seal of approval, met the standard for the shortbread. Below is a photo of the shortbread that has been made now Emily is back at school and the shortbread legacy continues! Here is another family favourite from Alison Elliffe's family recipes.

Trident is proud to introduce Mr Jefferson Greenwood as our new Deputy Principal, joining our Senior Management Leadership Team. Mr Greenwood originally hails from Manchester, UK but has spent the last 13 years in New Zealand. Having spent 3 years at Manurewa High School and the last 10 years as HOD PE and the Assistant Principal at Ormiston Senior College in Auckland, Mr Greenwood has welcomed the move to Whakatane and looks forward to immersing himself into Trident and Whakatane life. Mr Greenwood, his wife and two children moved from a small beach community in South East Auckland called Maraetai and we wish them all the very best in settling into life here. When time allows Mr Greenwood enjoys coaching and playing club football and trains for triathlons when he has the capacity. The beautiful trail runs around our area will surely be well used by Mr Greenwood, especially when the weather warms up! He says he is also looking forward to trying out a bit of surfing at Ohope this summer. Mr Greenwood says he chose Trident for its strong sporting culture, to be close to the ocean and says Trident felt like it was somewhere he could make a difference. Welcome Mr Greenwood!

In 2023 Trident is taking a group of 16 Boys to the UK for a 18 day whirlwind football tour. The tour will see the group play high level football against several clubs, watch Premier League and EFL games in famous stadiums, tour famous football clubs, visit Chelsea FC’s training complex for a VIP tour and meet All Whites Captain Chris Wood. The trip will also see the group visit Liverpool, Newcastle, Edinburgh and London. For the most part of the trip the team's base will be in Yorkshire. The coaches will ensure the boys are well rounded on the tour as they are also exposed to culture through gallery visits and museums, a real trip of a lifetime. Year 9 Tait Nelson says he is looking forward to the stadium tours - especially his favourite team's stadium - Arsenal’s. He says watching professional games is going to be a highlight, and he is sure it will inspire him even more to be the best footballer he can be. Year 11 Eli Wetting is looking forward to going to his team Newcastle’s home town in the UK and playing high level football. Tait Nelson says the opportunity to go on the Football UK tour in 2023 is something he is really looking forward to, “I have heard really impressive things about it from my brother who went on the last tour”. Eli was booked to go on the tour in 2021 which was cancelled due to Covid 19 and says “I am really pleased that I will now get to go in 2023 while I am still here at Trident. I want to take my football to the next level, being exposed to top international football means I will have more experience and it will be the extra motivation I need to put myself forward in the professional football career I am aiming for.” Over the next two years the group are going to be doing lots of fundraising - marshalling at motocross events, working to take care of tracks for horse trail riding, quiz nights and other initiatives that enable everyone that has committed to going to be able to do so. Tait is in the Junior Boys Football Team and says of his experience “I am enjoying being able to play really competitively. Before coming to Trident, I was with Ohope Soccer Club until year 6 and then Tauranga All Stars Academy. Trident is known for its good coaching and having great football teams so I am stoked to be on the team and that we get to play in the top division of a great competition - I will be playing my old teammates this weekend and I anticipate a good game. Being part of the football team means more than just football, we are a close team, we have been through team building from early on in the year and have lots of encouragement from our coaches - in football but also in all of our schooling. It will be great to travel with some of these team mates and make memories of a lifetime.” Eli is in the Senior Boys Football Team for the first time and says the team is great because “we push ourselves and each other to be the best team we can be. Our coach provides us with mentorship, he makes sure that we have a solid foundation to build our football to the level we want to take it. Like Mr Barr does with the juniors, Mr Stanhope helps our team to perform highly in everything at school, he holds us accountable for being the best we can be all round. Lots of my team I have known since primary and intermediate, and lots of them are coming on the UK tour, it will be great to wrap up my whole schooling journey with these guys.” We wish the tour group all the best with their fundraising efforts and look forward to sharing more details of the tour with our Trident whanau as they are finalised. Missing from the photo are Kayan McCoubrie and Ollie Fort.

This term we are lucky to have 3 new and 1 returned staff at Trident. We share with you small introductions from each of the staff and invite you to give them the Trident welcome when you see them around the school. "Kia ora, my name is Liz Calder and I have been working as an Office Manager at MEL 2020 LTD (Mainstream Engineering Ltd) before securing my new position at Trident as an Executive Officer. My family enjoys self-sustainable living off our lifestyle block, and milling timber for our Woodwork CNC & Lazer Projects. I am currently studying Bachelor of Accountancy at Massey University (Distance) and learning to play the bagpipes. I look forward to working here at Trident and getting to know the wider part of the Trident community." "Kia ora, my name is Andrea Crawford and I have been working as a Maths and Science teacher in several schools in the Bay of Plenty and in Tokyo, Japan before securing my new position at Trident as a Maths and Science teacher. I love spending time outdoors with family and friends. I look forward to being part of the Trident team." "Hi my name is Becs Mackay and I started my teaching career at Trident over a decade ago and have been on a hiatus where I have been involved in community and youth development and sustainability mahi. I have arrived back at Trident this term and it feels like I have come back to my roots at Trident and in education. I am enjoying being back, working with students again in particular. I look forward to teaching and learning in the supportive departments I am working in." "Kia Ora, I`m Sára Szabó, pronounced shāra sabo and I`m rolling that `r`... I`m from Hungary, Europe and my first language is Hungarian. I had been working as a teacher for 11 years before coming to New Zealand more than a year ago, before the pandemic broke out. New Zealand is a beautiful country and Whakatane is the sunniest place, so I feel very lucky to be here. My main interest is in languages, literature and journalism. In my free time I like travelling, doing yoga and going to the theatre. At Trident High School I am going to teach English and Media Studies in some of Ms McCrossen`s classes. This is my first teaching position in New Zealand, that will provide an insight into a whole different culture of education. I`m looking forward to learning lots of new things and some Te Reo, too."

A new initiative that was introduced this year sees a member of our Trident staff apply to take on an Internship as a member of the Senior Management Team for a year. This year we have Ms Wildash who has taken on the role and has started this term. She has taken on new projects such as ‘Positive School Culture’ which incorporates our anti-bullying policy and ‘Developing Student Leadership Throughout the School’. The idea of this internship is to support staff in building professional skills and providing the experience to do so which is important in career progression for teachers. The internship benefits the school in that we are building professional capacity within our staff. Ms Wildash returned to Trident at the start of the year from three years in Rarotonga where she was teaching Social Science and English. She is ready to take on a new challenge and believes she will have a positive impact at Trident through her implementation of these new projects. She is looking forward to learning new skills from our Senior Management Team and working with more staff and students across the school. “This is an innovative programme I have been offered to be a part of and I am thankful for the opportunity to support our Trident community in this new pathway”.
