We are aware of community concern regarding one of our students, who did not return home from school yesterday. We understand that contact has now been made with the family, confirming that the student is safe. Thank you to everyone for your care and concern. We ask that people continue to show support by respecting the privacy of the student and her whānau at this time.

Showquest was on 11th June this term and we had 40 students perform "Think inside the box" an original 10 minute piece directed by students Kiana Paoo and Jordyn Pillay.

While the group didn't get a top 3 finish, they came away with the following awards:

Excellence in Music (original composition) - Aayush Sharma
Excellence in Technology (video design) - Marcus Ng
Public Speaking Award - Kiana and Jordyn
Recognition in Drama - Teresa, Chelsea, Aaron, Nehal
School Spirit Award

We are the only school to be awarded Public Speaking and School Spirit.

The leaders are:
Teresa - Lead performer
Kiana and Jordyn - Directors
Brooklyn - Choreographer
Marcus - Lighting & Video wall
Aayush - Sound
Elise and Kath - Costumes
Betty - Props

Last but not least, Kiana and Jordyn were contacted by one of the judges and offered an internship. This is not a "normal" Showquest outcome, they just impressed her so much with their leadership and speaking - it is an excellent example of how these events open up new opportunities for our students.

Thank you to everyone who has shown support to the students during their rehearsals. They have been rehearsing for two terms - with majority of rehearsals being after school until 8.30pm - we are very proud of them and their achievements

Celebrating Samoan Language Week 🇼🇸✨

This morning, our school community came together for a special flag-raising ceremony to mark the beginning of Samoan Language Week | Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa.

It was a proud and beautiful moment as the Samoan flag was raised, honouring the rich culture, language and heritage that deeply enriches our college. A huge thank you to the staff and students who helped lead the ceremony and share their traditions with us all.

Mālō lava le fesoasoani to everyone involved!

Year 12 & 13 Food Technology Research Trip 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

On Thursday, May 21st, our Senior Food Technology students visited Sylvia Park in Mount Wellington to conduct primary market research for their upcoming internal assessments.

The excursion challenged students to bridge the gap between classroom theory and industry reality:

TEF3: Investigated cafe operations, evaluating product presentation, consumer demographics, and pricing structures to inspire their upcoming assessment trials.

TEF2: Analysed the competitive gourmet burger market, conducting staff interviews to evaluate cooking techniques, sauce formulations, and product development opportunities.

This hands-on experience allowed our students to successfully audit existing products, identify market gaps, and gain critical insights that will form the foundation of their practical write-ups. Well done to all involved for representing the school so professionally!

Interact Conference 2026

On the 16th of May, 2026, Ormiston Senior College’s Interact Club leaders attended the Interact Club Conference 2026, held at Macleans College. This event has happened every year since 2019, where Interact Clubs from all around Auckland come together, with the theme for 2026 being "From Intention to Impact: Youth Empowerment Through Service."

This conference explores how to identify real community needs, turn ideas into action, develop youth leadership, and build confidence through volunteering. Kaylen Soong (Vice President), Aatiesh Srinivasan (Service Director), Sophia Zhao (Service Director), Jennifer Sun (Supporting Leader), Jasleen Brar (Supporting Leader) and Saanvi Sethi (Secretary) represented Ormiston Senior College. We got to meet lots of new students and fellow interactors from different schools, and learn how they run their Interact Clubs. Through this experience, we gained new insights from different communities and new innovative ideas for the future.

Our incredible OSC Z Club members recently had the privilege of attending the Charter Ceremony for the Zonta Club of Ormiston-District 16 at St. Paul's in Barry Curtis Park on the 9th May.

Not only did our year 13 students roll up their sleeves to help with event preparation, but they also had the amazing opportunity to connect with local dignitaries and Zonta leaders. A massive shoutout to OSC student and Z Club member Jordyn Pillay, who took the stage as an invited speaker and delivered an incredibly powerful speech!

The Z Club functions under Zonta International, giving young women a platform to build a better future through community service, civic leadership, and advocacy. We are so proud of how beautifully these students represented our school community.

Members in attendance: Anmol, Vandita, Jessica, Shubhreet, and Manas.
