Next year we shall have a number of changes on the Board of Trustees as people who have
served for many years leave because their daughters have graduated from the school. The
new Board elected in May/June will not be experienced enough to appoint a new Principal
straight away. For this reason I have decided that I shall aim to finish at the end of this year.

This means that the present experienced Board can make the appointment and guide the new
person for the beginning of 2016 before they leave in June.
When I was appointed to the
position of Principal in 2008,
I promised that I would stay
three to five years. I have now
been here three plus five years
and feel that the school is in a
strong position for a new person
to take over. The academic
results are the highest they
have been, we have a second
five year ERO review and a
strategic plan leading to 2018.
I am proud of what has been
achieved in that time and would
now like a little more time for
myself and my family. Leading
such a large school is very timeconsuming!
I thank all parents and whanau
for
your
confidence
in
and
support for me over the past

eight years and look forward to
seeing you all again next term before I leave. Be assured that all will continue as normal next term and there will be a strong Board
and Senior Leadership Team to guide a new person in 2016.
Madeline Gunn - Principal
From the Board of Trustees
The Board has been advised by the Principal, Mrs Madeline Gunn that she wishes to step down from the role as the Principal of Epsom
Girls Grammar School at the end of this school year. Whilst the Board do not wish Mrs Gunn to step down we respect her reasons that
she feels that it is an appropriate time for herself and the school.
Mrs Gunn is an exemplary Principal who has fulfilled the many roles required of a Principal conscientiously and with distinction. She
has been instrumental in raising the student achievement standards of students at EGGS. She has introduced new initiatives such as
e-learning to improve teaching and learning and championing achievement improvements for EGGS Maori and Pasifika students. Mrs
Gunn has brought to fruition the Joyce Fisher Sports Centre to improve the amenities of the school. She has been a tireless supporter
of the school’s many extracurricular activities; in the audience and on the side-lines.
She has been a leader of leaders within the school delegating to and encouraging and supporting the development of staff. Deputy
Principals that Mrs Gunn has appointed have continued their career progression and been further promoted as Associate Principals and
Principals of other schools.
Mrs Gunn has been a fine ambassador for the school in the wider community, representing the school with resolve, reason and
intelligence. She has always provided sage advice to the Board of Trustees and often given more than could be expected or required
of her in terms of contributions to the BOT and its various sub-committees.
As the Board Chair I have really appreciated such a competent and supportive Principal as our Chief Executive Officer. Mrs Gunn has
not advised us if she has anything planned after EGGS, apart from a well-earned break, but I am sure many in the education sector
will be seeking her advice as they should.
The Board have appointed Dr Kay Hawk from “The Education Group Limited” to assist the Board in the search
for the new Principal.
Once again although we are saddened that Mrs Gunn has chosen to end her tenure we wholeheartedly thank
her for her considerable contribution to Epsom Girls Grammar School over the years and wish her the very best
for her future endeavours.

OLD GIRLS ASSOCIATION
Scriptor Series 4 - An evening with
Diane Foreman
On September 2 the OGA completed its 2015 Scriptor Series. Diane
Foreman spoke about her latest book ‘In The Arena’, where she
maps her meteoric rise from single mother to creating a successful
multi-million-dollar export company. The OGA has been delighted to
join forces with Paper Plus and The Raye Freedman Arts Centre to
present four evenings with inspirational women authors. We would
like to thank the Epsom Girls’ community for the support you have
given us to make the inaugural Scriptor Series the success it has
been.

Tertiary Scholarships
We are delighted to see so many students gaining scholarships to attend university. It is a real credit to the calibre of the candidates, as
scholarship criteria include high academic achievement, participation in co-curricular and service activities and leadership experience.
This ‘whole person’ view is something that we value at Epsom Girls Grammar School and it is heartening to see it reflected in the
selection process for scholarships which provide such valuable help with fees and resources for tertiary study for our leavers. Strong
NCEA results in Year 12 provide a student with the basis of the academic part of scholarship applications, with some applications also
requiring current Year 13 final and preliminary assessment grades.

Preparation for the external examinations
Over the holidays students should make sure that they have some time that is down time, when they have a complete break from
schoolwork and study. We also suggest that they set aside a portion of time to start a steady programme of preparation for the
external examinations which start in November.
Revision
Things that may help:
•
Study sessions should focus on one part of a topic within a subject – eg: English  Hamlet 
character change. This
provides a clear focus, rather than a wide ranging idea to study ‘English’.
•
Study sessions should be 40 – 50 minutes long.
•
Three sessions in a morning could be broken up with short (maximum 5 minute) breaks between.
•
Cellphones should be off while studying – giving them to someone else in the household to look after can help if your
•
The internet can be a source of real help when studying – students just need to watch that they are being honest with

themselves about what is helpful and what is distraction.
•
Varying what they do is important.
The brain likes novelty and lots of endings and new beginnings. Simply reading notes
is not very productive – doing something active with material – eg: making up a quiz to answer later; writing some jeopardy
type answers that they will later make the questions for; making up a mnemonic or a rhyme of NZ’s best song! Telling the
dog or cat all about a topic works well - if they can talk about it, they know it. Drawing a process; mindmapping; adding
corny sketches to summaries; constantly working to reduce the amount written down to summarise a topic and using easy
to remember initial letter prompts are also effective methods for studying.
Each student in Years 11, 12 and 13 has been given material on Successful Study and a number of resources are available on
Elearn to help them with the month of preparation before the examinations begin in mid-November.
Parent Teacher Association
Firstly, I would like to thank the wonderful families that have donated to the PTA this year. It has enabled the purchase of a
new barbeque and trestle tables that many of our girls sporting and community groups use throughout the year for their own
fundraising, contributed to the Year 13 Graduation Dinner once again and continued the support of scholarships for our high
achieving girls. This would not have been possible without your help.
A big thank you to our PTA committee members and helpers that kindly provided such beautiful nibbles for the Little Art Show
held in the RFAC. The perfect amount and variety were provided.
Our next meeting on Wednesday 28th October at 7.30pm in the staff room, will feature a presentation from our Science
Department and students, outlining all the wonderful opportunities and experiences that are available. If you are unable to attend,
then join our list of helpers by email as we really appreciate if parents can either give hands on help or make a salad or slice for
upcoming events.
A useful tool for connecting with our school community is the PTA Facebook page.
Please search: Epsom Girls Grammar PTA and “Like” the page so you can easily access the latest news, photos, minutes and

SPORTS NEWS
Ultimate Frisbee
During the second term this year, Ultimate Frisbee moved
indoors where Epsom combined with Auckland Boys
Grammar to make four mixed teams to compete in the
AKSS Central Indoor league. After playing two games every
week our A team won the Central Zone taking them through
to the Inter-Zone finals where they beat both Avondale and
Green Bay High Schools placing them 1st in Auckland. The
second EGGS/AGS team placed 2nd in the Zone and went
on to come 3rd in the Inter-Zone beating Green Bay by just
one point in a nail-biting semi-final. Our third team also did
extremely well however they just missed out on a chance to
play in the Inter-Zone finals as they placed 3rd in the Central
Zone. Our final team placed 18th however the Epsom girls
in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th teams only started playing Frisbee this
year so their placements were an amazing effort.
In Term 3 the AKSS Central Girls’ Indoor league began
which Epsom entered three teams into. Our top team maintained its undefeated run and won the Central Zone. They are going on to
play in the Inter-zone finals against Avondale next week. This same team also won the Best Team Spirit which is a very prestigious
prize in Ultimate. The other two teams have also been playing very well especially as some of the girls only played their first game of
Frisbee this term.
I would also like to mention that the following five girls from the Epsom squad were selected for the New Zealand Under 20 Ultimate
team earlier this year; Anna Crosby, Elena Kroon, Bianca Mercer, Lucy Parsons and Raven Stevens. This is an amazing accomplishment
and will take them to Poland to compete in the World Junior Ultimate Champs next year.

Hockey
Federation Cup/Marie Fry Tournament
Our 1st XI Hockey team competed in the Federation Cup/
Marie Fry Tournament on 31st August - 5th September.
In pool play the team came away with a 2-2 draw to St
Hilda’s and a narrow loss to Wanganui and Rangitoto. From
pool play, the team went into the Marie Fry competition.
A close match against St Peter’s School ended in a 1-1
draw. The game went into “Golden Goal” extra time, and
in the second round of extra time a stroke was awarded
to St Peter’s School and was converted. After this match
there was a narrow loss to Burnside, 1-4. This meant
Epsom was playing off for 11/12 in Marie Fry, and after
a hard fought match, sadly had a narrow loss to Western
Heights High. The girls all played their hearts out and
had an amazing tournament, overcoming many obstacles
in our way. We would like to say a huge thank you to Jo
Hazard, our coach and Cath and Yolanda our managers.
Fencing
Nationals and North Island Teams
It’s been a busy few weeks for the girls in EGGS fencing.
It was non-stop all day competitions from the 3rd-6th
September but our efforts have paid off. The results for
this year’s Nationals have been unbelievable and I’m filled
with great pride in recounting them. Thank you to all those
who competed and those who supported us along the way.
A special thanks to Miss Harvey our teacher in charge and
Judith Fliszard our coach. We couldn’t have done it without
you.

Distinctively smooth, mild and creamy, the new Food Snob Danish Havarti cheese is the ultimate
cheese lover’s cheese.
This authentic Danish cheese with its soft buttery taste, is deliciously divine on toasted sandwiches,
partnered with roast beef in a sandwich, on a cheese board paired with a fruit paste, sliced pears
and assorted crackers, or diced into a fresh garden salad.
