What's Happening

5th Grade Boards the "Mighty MO"

Wed, 15 May 2013 20:33:00 GMT

On Friday, May 10, our three 5th grade classes headed over to the Pearl Harbor Memorial for an overnight excursion aboard the USS Missouri. While there, they were able to visit the USS Arizona, USS Bowfin, USS Missouri, and two exhibits. They had a scavenger hunt as well as filled in information about World War II.

Some of the students favorites were: touring the USS Bowfin, eating on board the USS Missouri, getting ready for bed (using antique showers and toilets), and sleeping in the bunks in the "enlisted men's quarters."

What a great way to celebrate Military Appreciation Month and remember all those who have served our country.

"Those Who Can Do More, Volunteer."

Fri, 03 May 2013 03:26:00 GMT

“Those who can, do. Those who can do more, volunteer.” Author Unknown

This is Volunteer Appreciation Week nationwide. At Hanalani Schools we would be remiss not to give a shout out to our many faithful volunteers who do so much in our school behind the scenes.

Among the many ways they impact our school, our volunteers help…

- in car line every morning

- the teachers in the classroom or go on fieldtrips

- during special events such as Family Fun Day and Spirit Week

- our fundraising efforts

- by giving of their time, talents, and money

- daily operations in our campus store

- give campus tours to prospective parents during Open House

In the words of William Shakespeare, “can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks.”

(For more pictures of our volunteers in action check out our Facebook page!)

Kanani Auwae Signs with New Mexico Highlands University

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 23:08:00 GMT

Kanani Auwae decided to take up volleyball 3 years ago, but she had no idea it would lead her to this moment. She started off at the JV level of ILH competition under Coach Nathan Ramos. It was during her Sophomore year that she was introduced to Coach and Trainer Ali'i Robins. She had never looked into the world of club volleyball before, but Robins opened her eyes to new possibilities. Though she never played for Robins, he has been her trainer and mentor for the past 2 years. She played club volleyball for the Marinas Volleyball Club under the coaching of Briana Uiti for the past 2 years and has gained much experience through working with her. Kanani was named MVP for the 2012 club season and was a second team all-star for the 2012 ILH DII season.

Earlier today, Kanani signed her letter of intent to New Mexico Highlands University on a full-tuition scholarship.

"I thank God for this opportunity, most of all the offers. I never pictured this being a part of His plan." - Kanani Auwae

Student's Poem Published on National Park Service Website

Tue, 12 Feb 2013 19:12:00 GMT

Korianne Obara was inspired to write a poem about volcanoes after visiting the Big Island with her Hanalani 4th Grade class, and it has recently been published on the National Park Service Hawai'i Volcanoes website.
Great work, Korianne!

The volcano rumbles
The rocks tumble
Down down the hills they slide
Into the water that was there beside
Up into the air the ocean sprays
Down to the bottom the rocks are to stay
The volcano erupted letting lava out from a crack
Leaving behind a molden hot track
Burning down trees it left in it's wake
Destroyed homes it was to take

Congratulations to Sarah Liva!

Lady Royals Fight for 3rd

Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:20:00 GMT

Hanalani Vs. Kauai

Playing for 3rd place against the #2 seed Kauai would be no easy task. But to help with the atmosphere, we packed up our 4th-12th graders and sent them along to cheer on our Lady Royals. Our Royals used their speed and fiery passing to take an early lead closing out the 1st quarter 13-9. Battling for every possession, we maintain our lead 25-23 at the half. Although the Royals seemed to control the game for the most part, Kauai takes a slight lead 33-32 by the end of the third. As nerves set in, each team pours their hearts into what would be their last game of the season. With the score going back and forth and the crowds from both sides cheering their team on we arrive at the last 5 minutes of the game. School spirit was high, and our girls were giving it everything they had, but nothing seemed to be going their way at that point, and Kauai took a few quick shots nailing a 3 and shortly after a jumper to put them (Kauai) ahead by 6 points. Once again we resorted to fouling to try and get another possession and another bucket. But in the end, it was not meant to be. Kauai wins 49-42, and Hanalani brings home a 4th place finish. Congratulations to Coach Hiers, his coaching staff, and the team for a great season.

Notable standouts: Sarah Liva with 16 points, Dylan McCorquodale - 12, Catherine Armstrong - 6, Lyna Kehler - 4, Sabrina Stratton - 2, Kara Tanaka - 2.

Royals Advance to State Semi-Finals

Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:55:00 GMT

Hanalani Vs. Kalaheo

As our Lady Royals advanced to play the Kalaheo Mustangs, they knew they were in for a tough game. Kalaheo, OIA White Champions, was seeded #4 in the state. Early on, the game was close fought, but the Royals could never seem to take charge of the game, and they always seemed to be trailing by a slight margin. At the half, Hanalani was down 24-27. But after the half was another story. Our girls came out strong and took a 6 point lead in the beginning of the 3rd. Kalaheo began to get in foul trouble sending our girls to the line. While it was not our night for free-throws, the 4th quarter proved to be a make-it or break-it deal. With only minutes to go in the 4th, the score was once again tied. The Lady Royals started delivering on those free-throws, while Kalaheo's players began fouling out. Nail-biting and exciting till the end, our Girls Varsity made Hanalani history by advancing to the semi-finals of the state tournament! Final score: Hanalani 55, Kalaheo 46.

Notable standouts: Sarah Liva with 20 points, Lyna Kehler - 13, Dylan McCorquodale - 8, Catherine Armstrong - 7, Sabrina Stratton - 5, Kara Tanaka - 2.

Next up: Hanalani Vs. Kamehameha Hawaii, Feb. 7, at 7 PM (Kalani H.S.) Tune in to Am 1500 for the game.

Christmas Blessings

Fri, 21 Dec 2012 23:17:00 GMT

Christmas Blessings: Adopt a Family is an ongoing Christmas tradition for our Ohana. Once again, we partnered with the Ulu Ke Kukui Transitional Housing in Maili. They assist families in becoming self-sufficient and securing permanent housing. This year, we adopted 10 families. Students were encouraged to bring in $3 each and could also donate various new or like-new items. The money was used to buy a gift card to a nearby grocery store so that each family could have a nice Christmas dinner as well as a Christmas Wish List item for each family member.

This morning, some of our faculty, staff, students, and parents came and loaded up 5 vehicles and drove them over to the Transitional Housing. They were able to meet 2 of the families for a short time and share in the joy of giving. This picture could represent our entire Ohana. Thank you for giving and making this Holiday season a little more special for these 10 families.

Boys Basketball Season Openers

Wed, 21 Nov 2012 19:58:00 GMT

Our Intermediate Boys Basketball Team had their season opener Tuesday, November 20 facing off against the competitive Hawaii Baptist Academy. With HBA controlling the game from the beginning, our boys had to work extra hard to keep in the game. Midway through the 3rd, the Royals were down by 9. They used their defense to get some key stops along with some key steals. With just under 35 seconds to go in the game and down by 2, Jesse L. got the steal and sent the assist up to Korrey S. who laid it in. Tied! About 20 seconds left and HBA has the ball. With a tough man defense and an entire team effort, Korrey was able to get the steal and lay in yet another lay-up with 5 seconds to spare! Hanalani Royals win 38-36! Way to go, Coach Stoker and team!

The Int. Boys were not the only ones to play a season opener at home on Tuesday. Our JV Boys Basketball Team also had their season opener against Island Pacific Academy. The Royals took a quick lead, and the entire team was able to get in on the action. Final score 46-14 Royals. Great job, Coach Vanaman and team.

This picture shows our students in front of the food items they bagged. The bagged food items were later raffled to families in the shelter. A special mahalo to all of our Hanalani Ohana who participated in making this a special Thanksgiving for those at this shelter.

Roadmap to Academic Success

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 07:27:00 GMT

STEM, SAT, AP, GPA, what do all of these things mean? It's hard enough just to keep up with the acronyms in the ever-changing world of education, let alone how these things actually impact your child's future. While the landscape on the road to college is definitely a dynamic one, Hanalani's Upper School team wants to do everything we can to help parents and students navigate successfully the road to academic success. In order to facilitate this conversation we have designed a custom workshop specifically for 6th through 12th grade parents to help explain some of the nuances of the academic planning process. We will also provide some insight as to what different types of higher educational institutions are really looking for in high school graduates. It may surprise you to know it's not just their GPA!

Come join us Thursday, April 26^th at 7pm in the SAC Conference room for a short presentation by our Upper School Principal, Winston Sakurai, on preparing your child for college. This will be followed by an open question and answer time. We think you will benefit from this informative session and you'll be glad you came. Remember, it's never too early to plan for your child's future!

Explorations Trip

Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:47:00 GMT

On Friday, March 19^th 2012 the 7^th and 8^th grade students went on their second annual Explorations trip. Since the first Explorations was a community service trip to help clean up Secret Island at Kualoa Ranch, the second one had an exciting flare as we journeyed down to Ala Moana Beach Park for a day of screaming and sand castles. Each student had the opportunity to ride the Honolulu Screamer speed boat off of the shores of Waikiki. The boat raced through the water at top speed, stopping abruptly to make 180 degree turns and soak everyone on board. There was also a time to check out the waters off of our island where our students were able to see dolphins and some baby whales. Back at the beach, other groups were engaged in playing a unique game of water balloon volleyball and competing in a sand sculpture contest.

Tough Night

Fri, 24 Feb 2012 08:22:00 GMT

Facing an already height difference advantage for Hawaii Prepatory Academy, our Boys Basketball team was up for the challenge in the first night of the 2012 HHSAA Boys Basketball Division II Championships at Kaimuki High School. HPA got off to fast start scoring early and often from inside the paint, but our Royals fought back with some deft shooting of their own. Midway through the second quarter, Kainoa Petersen suffers an ankle sprain and has to sit out for most of the rest of the half.

Just moments after this, Kainoa Souza-Chaves receives a gash to his forehead that is severe enough that he is taken to the hospital for stiches. Playing without their two Senior captains, Pomi Milton steps up his game and provides the scoring touch from the outside. Kainoa Petersen returned to the floor with an obvious limb, but played toughed. John Brady and Michael Milton used their quickness to get to the bucket with some lay-ups, but HPA size proved to be a bit too much on the boards and they took control of the game from just before the half and kept the lead and posted the victory at 69-55.

Boys will be back in action tomorrow again at Kaimuki at 7:00 PM challenging Kappa of Kauai. Winner of this game will play on Sat. at 9 AM at Neal Blaisdell Center.

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:14:00 GMT

The Girls Varsity basketball team was able to match everything that Hawaii Baptist Academy Eagles came with in the semi-final match-up of the HHSAA Girls Division II State consolation game. The Lady Royals fired off first with a 6-0 run to start the game, HBA pulled back at the end of the first quarter to a 10-7 lead for Hanalani. The Eagles put on their full court press for the entire game and in the second quarter, the Lady Royals were already in the bonus where they took advantage from the charity line and a halftime 22-15 score.

HBA started the third quarter at another notch higher, but the Lady Royals sustained and matched the energy to move the lead to 38-21 going into the 4^th quarter. The Eagles having to play catch-up ball placed themselves again in the foul trouble and sent our girls to the line. Sarah Hyde, Sarah Liva, Catherine Armstrong, Lyna Kehler, and Nikki Gonzalez all converted on the free throw line in the 4^th quarter to keep a 14 point lead with 1:44 to go. HBA never gave up, Lady Royals kept plugging away to a 47-35 victory. (Sarah Liva had a monster night on the boards and game high scorer with 25 points)

Next up, Radford at the Blaisdell, 9 AM Friday morning for the 2012 HHSAA Girls Basketball Division II State Tournament Consolation Championship

Girls Varsity State Run

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:40:00 GMT

The Girls varsity basketball team made the trek back to Kalani last night to square off against the #3 seed in the State tournament ,and undefeated in the regular season play, the Spartans of Maryknoll. Maryknoll came out on fire from the tip off and went on a 11-0 run before the Lady Royals were able to score a bucket. During the rest of the first half, the Spartans used their ¾ court trap to force numerous turnovers and pull to a 31-11 lead.

Our young ladies never gave up and Sarah Liva and Nikki Gonzalez speared on a late first half surge to bring the score to a 39-26 deficit heading into halftime. In the 3^rd quarter, both teams were able trade buckets and Spartans were hanging to an 11 point lead heading into the last quarter. With Lyna Kehler on the point, Sarah Liva in the post and Nikki Gonzalez and Sarah Hyde on the wings, it was time for the upset comeback in the 4^th. First Sarah Hyde hits baseline jumper to cut the lead to 9 points, MS scores, Lyna Kehler sinks one free throw, misses second, Sarah Hyde rebound and is fouled. Hyde makes one, done to 5 points.

Back and forth action, Maryknoll is able to convert on several possessions, Nikki comes off a screen and is fouled on the shot, bucket is good, free throw is also good, within 6 points. Nikki is fouled again on the next transition, makes 1 free throw, Lady Royals within 5 points with 1:41 left on the clock. Forced now to foul as MS controls the clock and ball, Spartans are able to convert on their free throws, Sarah Hyde fouls out, then Lyna Kehler, Lady Royals fought hard to end as Maryknoll held on to a 70-60 victory.

Next up is HBA at 7:00 PM , back again to Kalani. If we win, we will play for 5^th place at 9:00 AM tomorrow morning at Blaisdell Arena

Opening night for the 2012 HHSAA Girls State Basketball Championship proved to be victorious for the Girls Varsity Basketball team as they came from behind to post the victory over McKinley High School. The Lady Royals got off to fast start and led in the 1^st quarter only to see the Lady Tigers roared back with a hot shooting second quarter and a 13 point half time lead.

Led by some tenacious play by Senior Nikki Gonzalez and two critical lay-ups in the final quarter, the Lady Royals came all the way back to a 3 point win. It took several defensive stops, defensive rebounding from Sarah Liva from the third quarter and into the fourth quarter to chip away at the lead until finally in the last minute of the game did our Lady Royals take a four point lead with 40 seconds to go. The Tigers had one last desperation shot that was just long as the buzzer sounded. Next up is the #1 seed from ILH and #3 seed Maryknoll in the tournament at Kalani Wednesday night at 7:00 PM.

Boys Varsity basketball pulled out a 10 point victory over Lanakila Baptist on Tuesday night. They improved their record to 9-2 heading into Senior night on Thursday at 6:00 PM versus PBA. Pending on what front runner St Francis does this week, there is still an outside chance for a first place tie of the ILH title.

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 16:31:00 GMT

Being down by early by 7 points in the first quarter, and after finding out that two of Coach Hiers starters were not feeling well, the Girls Varsity team just kept plugging away. The Lady Royals were able to hold St Francis to just one point in the second quarter to take a 21-15 halftime lead. The Saints pulled within a few buckets in the third with 2-3 pointers, but our girls held tough and both Sarah Liva and Sarah Hyde combined to control the rebound edge and 10 made free throws in the 4^th quarter help seal the victory and another trip to the State Tournament.

We will find out the brackets late Sunday after the state tournament selection committee meets. Tournament is scheduled to start on Tuesday.

Facing one of the top teams in the ILH Soccer Division, Pac Five Boys, led by our very own midfielder Roy Yang, went down 2-0 in the first half and after a few adjustments held the Warriors of Kamehameha scoreless in the second half in the defeat. Kyle Harrison also saw action at halfback. Their last game is this Friday.

In an interesting, then exciting game of the LSSL Girls Basketball team yesterday afternoon in the SAC. This game produced scoreless quarters and a one point victory by the visiting team PHCA. After being down 9-2 in the first half, our Junior Lady Royals fought and clawed their way back in the second half and come up just shy in the 16-15 final score.

The LSSL Boys basketball team continued their unbeaten record with a solid 26-17 victory over PHCA.

Pomi Milton buried 4-three pointers last night and Kainoa Souza-Chavez poured in 22 points in a 57-46 victory over St . Louis. This keeps the team in a least a tie for second place going into the last two games of the season.

Spreading Christmas Cheer

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:42:00 GMT

Last Saturday, Dec. 10, our Elementary Royals Choir and Upper School Strings Ensemble spread a little Christmas cheer by performing to the community at the Waipio Shopping Center. There was a great turn out as many people gathered outside of Foodland to listen. Miss Peterson, the director of the Royals Choir, said that the students did a wonderful job singing at an outside venue. She said they have improved their stage presence and confidence while still being able to remember all the correct singing techniques. This venue gave the students a real life opportunity to use what they have been learning in the classroom. The students in the Royals Choir and Strings Ensemble look forward to the next time they can be involved in the community.

Elementary Donates 1,348 Food Items

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 21:33:00 GMT

Thanksgiving. What a great time of the year to show our thanks for everything that God has provided. During the past two weeks, our Elementary Division headed a Thanksgiving Canned Food Drive to give back to those in need. Mrs. Moore, the head of our Elementary Student Leadership Team (SLT), organized a Campaign Committee, consisting of Elementary students from the SLT. This Committee specifically helped out with this canned food drive by collecting all the food items from various bins, counting, boxing them up, and labeling the boxes. The SLT proposed a goal of 1,000 food items – about 3 items per Elementary student – and a reward of a “No Written Homework” night. Mrs. Nakamoto, the Principal, approved the goal and reward so the students took on the challenge and worked hard to achieve it. Two students, Leila & Stacy, felt inspired to help others even more and went door-to-door in their neighborhood asking and collecting canned foods for the food drive. They were able to collect 75 cans of food in two afternoons. Through student efforts such as these, not only did the students reach their goal, but they surpassed it and brought in 1,348 food items! Twenty-three boxes of food items were presented to representatives of the Central Oahu Family Guidance Center in Pearl City in this morning’s 4^th-6^th grade chapel. The rest of the food items will be donated to the Ulu Ke Kukui transitional housing center in Mail’i. Way to give Elementary! Thank you for your giving spirit and enjoy your night of no written homework!

Learning to Speak in Public

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 20:25:00 GMT

In order to better equip our students with the proper life skills, Hanalani Schools has added a new class this year that is required of all students before they graduate: Public Speaking. Public Speaking is a project based class taught by Mrs. Eoute. The goal of this class is to get students comfortable and competent in speaking effectively in front of an audience. How to use their voices to project, their tone to their advantage, and their body language to effectively communicate a message, are some of the things the students are learning through practice. The students during their one semester class deliver a Personal Experience, Informative, Demonstration, Persuasive, and Devotional speech and an Interview. This speech class shows in a very tangible way how communication - one of the five critical 21st Century Skills Hanalani Schools strives to cultivate in our students - is being developed in our students.

Heads Up!

Mon, 24 Oct 2011 03:46:00 GMT

Hanalani is getting a new roof on the Weinberg Building and is in the process of finalizing arrangements to install a Photovoltaic (PV) system on several of our buildings.

The Business Office and the Student Activities Center (SAC/Gym) will both require new roof systems before the PV project can be completed. However, due to the current condition of the Weinberg and the very real possibility of the PV project coming to fruition, Hanalani Administration has decided that now is the time to act on the Weinberg.

Akamai Roofing has done work for Hanalani (including the Fremont and Atrium Buildings completed this past summer) and will be the contractor responsible for completing the work on the Weinberg Building this week. Weather permitting the plan is to begin on the Early Childhood playground side on Monday, October 24^th closing the playground completely until finishing that side of the building Tuesday afternoon. The plan calls for finishing the parking lot side by Thursday evening with some final clean-up on Friday.

Botball Robot to be Displayed at APEC

Thu, 20 Oct 2011 23:23:00 GMT

Congratulations to Mr. Chenfu Chiang and the botball team! Earlier this summer they competed in the International Robotics Competition and for the second time in a row, took home first place. Now they are being recognized by the Robotics Organizing Committee and have been asked to showcase their robot, Colossus, at APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) for world leaders to see, as well as media. This year, the APEC will take place at the Hawaii Convention Center. The robot will be held there on display from Nov. 8-13, 8am-5pm. Then it will transfer over to HCC (Hawaii Community College) and stay there from Nov. 14, 2011- Dec. 2012. Afterwards, the robot will be placed on permanent display; location of display is TBD.

When asked about the importance of having the robot showcased at APEC in relation to Hanalani, Mr. Chiang said, “It’s good exposure for our school because our school is not as well known, so it’ll be good to get our school’s name out there." When asked, Mr. Chiang stated that he and his team are highly unlikely to visit the conference and see the display. “It’s not necessary because we’ve already seen the robot. It’d be good to just look around though,” he replied. Nevertheless, Mr. Chiang feels excited about the opportunity to showcase the robot “even though we have to reveal a lot of our secret techniques." Mr. Chiang also encourages everyone to come out and support this year’s botball team in the regional competition. The competition will take place at the Hawaii Convention Center on May 12, 2012. Also, this year’s International Botball Competition will be held in Hawaii on July 2012.

Westpac is a conglomeration of five schools: Christian Academy, Hanalani Schools, Ho`ala School, Island Pacific Academy and Lanakila Baptist Schools. Sports teams have competed in the Interscholastic League of Honolulu (ILH) since 2007. It is the purpose of WestPac to provide leadership for the administration of interscholastic sporting activities that enhance student educational experiences in intermediate and high school. Current sports are: Int. Girls Soccer, Int. Baseball, JV Baseball, Int. Softball, Vars. Softball

The name WestPac emphasizes the geographic location of the member schools and draws a comparison, yet distinctiveness, to our friends in the Pac-5.

By providing leadership and direction we hope to provide greater opportunity for students to learn the values of teamwork and sportsmanship“.
