The Smith Gallery has re-opened to host two virtual student solo art exhibitions. Hannah Taylor `21 opened her show “Setting” on April 24, and Tommy G Lee `22’s show “Formal” is set to open on May 12.

Chorus has awarded funding to researchers at the University of Auckland to evaluate an online platform providing mental health support for New Zealanders. This public-private partnership between the University and the telecommunications company is key to ensuring digital platforms are responsive to the mental health and wellbeing needs of Maori and other New Zealanders.
The purpose of the 12-month research initiative, led by The University of Auckland, is to evaluate the barriers to, and enablers of, engagement by Māori with an online platform to support mental health and wellbeing. This initiative aligns with Chorus’ goal of creating greater digital capability so Kiwis can make the most of the fibre network it has been rolling out over the last 10 years.
This year has been troublesome for everyone, and that includes two Mock Trial teams from Spring Creek Middle School. They sought to recreate a court-like atmosphere for competition in a year where even the real court system went virtual. Zoom quirks, laptop failures, and slow internet speeds added a level of difficulty that was impossible to practice for. They found the process frustrating at times, but rewarding in the end.
Coach Alissa Groll invited me to interview the teams about this yearâs event, the challenges they went through, and the big finish: a second-place win at state level competition for Team Blue, which was composed of the older students.
