Flynn Adams gains top Mark in New Zealand CEM Kiwi Science Competition University of Canterbury s Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring (CEM) run the annual Kiwi Science competition. Flynn Adams achieved an Excellence grade, the percentile ranking 100 %, and with Stanine 9. He has been the top student in New Zealand among all Year 10 s who participated in this competition. It is an outstanding achievement for Rosehill College and we all applaud Flynn Adams for this. Radio Satellite Astronomy Trip to Warkworth On 7th December 2018, sixty selected Year 10 students attended the Radio Satellite Astronomy Trip to Warkworth. Students utilised this opportunity to get first-hand experience on New Zealand s contribution in Pulsar Research. A pulsar is a celestial object, which is thought to be a rapidly rotating neutron star that emits regular pulses of radio waves and other electromagnetic radiation at rates of up to one thousand pulses per second. Neutron stars are thought to be formed by the gravitational collapse of the remnants of a massive star after a supernova explosion, provided that the star is insufficiently massive to produce a black hole. Students also interacted with some of the leading Astronomers working at the AUT satellite station and also learned how the chemicals in various celestial objects are analysed using absorption spectroscopy. A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM THE STUDENT OFFICE The Student Office would like to thank all the RUNNERS we have had working in the office throughout the year. It is a very important job with responsibilities, giving students valuable experience in an office environment at the same time as giving them a good grounding on how the school works. We look forward to seeing some of them again next year. We wish all students a Happy and Safe Christmas and New Year! Anmoljit Ghuman Paige Tapara Student Success Anmoljit, who completed Year 13 this year, has been selected as Youth MP for the Papakura electorate at Youth Parliament in 2019.

Emma Fell Emma left Rosehill College in 2013 and has, for the second year in a row, been chosen to represent New Zealand in the NZ Women s Floorball team.
