- Mr. John Adams Retires
At assembly this morning we bid farewell to Mr. John Adams, the school Guidance Counsellor, who is retiring from teaching. Mr. Adams is moving to Nelson to be closer to his family so that he can dedicate more of his time to them.
Mr. Adams has provided thirty years of dedicated service to Palmerston North Boys’ High School and the young men who attend this school. Mr. Adams was appointed to a long term relief position teaching science and agriculture in February 1986 and gained a permanent position as a teacher of science and physics in June 1986. He was the Year 10 Dean from 1989 - 1993, the Assistant Head of the Science Department from July 1990 - December 1992, and the Head of the Physics Department from 1992 - 1997.
In 1998 Mr. Adams was appointed as the Head of the Science Department, a key leadership position in the school, and one he held until the end of 2004. He was awarded a Royal Society Teacher Fellowship in 2001, when he spent time at Massey University researching renewable energy sources. This fellowship recognised the high esteem with which Mr. Adams was held in the physics and science teaching fraternities in New Zealand and the outstanding results students he taught had achieved over a long period of time.
In 2005 Mr. Adams was appointed as the school Guidance Counsellor, a position he has held until now. In order to fulfill this position Mr. Adams was required to complete a counselling qualification, a Master of Counselling, which he did in 2007, having been selected to receive a teacher study award.
Mr. Adams has a real affinity for young men and has worked tirelessly in all of his roles to remove obstacles to student learning and to help ensure that our young men are able to achieve the best possible academic results. In his role as Counsellor, Mr. Adams has assisted countless young men and families in some very trying circumstances. Each of these situations has been approached with empathy, genuine care and concern, and strategies enacted that have the best interests of the young men concerned at their core.
Additional to this service at Palmerston North Boys’ High School, Mr. Adams served as a parent representative on the Board of the New Zealand Correspondence School from 1995 - 1998 and in 1998 was appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Correspondence School.
Prior to his teaching career Mr. Adams had a range of experiences as a dairy farmer, in forestry and a stint as a possum trapper. A notable component of his teaching was how he was able to draw on these experiences in the classroom and put his teaching into context for the young men in his classes. This has played a significant role in the outstanding academic results his classes have achieved.
This morning at assembly Mr. Adams was presented with an Academic Stole. This award, normally made at the end-of-the-year at the full school prizegiving, is reserved to recognise those teachers who have had an unwavering focus on academic achievement throughout their careers. Mr. Adams has certainly embodied the requirement for this award.
Guidance counselling by its very nature often involves being the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff - responding to problems and crises after they occur. Mr. Adams has endeavoured to also bring a proactive approach to his role. An example of this is the system of support that has been implemented for our young Pasifika men on his initiative. Mr. Adams is also a staunch supporter of the Palmerston North Boys’ High School Leadership programme, recognising the proactive nature of this approach to the development of young men.
Mr. Adams has been fully involved in the co-curricular life of the school. He has coached rugby teams, been involved with the mountain biking group, and more recently managed hockey and basketball teams. Mr. Adams has a particular interest in the outdoors, and has organised and participated in a wide variety of school camps, including running one on his own farm a number of years ago.
On behalf of the young men of Palmerston North Boys’ High School, the staff, Board of Trustees and the wider school community, I would like to thank and acknowledge Mr. Adams for the very significant impact he has had on our school over the last thirty years, and to wish him all the best for his retirement.

I’ve had a haka performed for me. It gives you chills man

This is some powerfull shit. Even the orcs from the lord of the rings would back off seeing this
Sándor Salamon He was saying it's powerful and epic, read before you type.
Sándor Salamon exactly what part about that was insulting?
What no i was not insulting it at all. Seriously read what i said. I said "Even the orcs from the lord of the rings would back off seeing this" Meaning this is so powerful that its purely epic. Imagine if the orcs was in front of these people on the battlefield, they would be scared shitless.
Iiiiiiiits funny you should mention that! XD
As a quite a few of the orc "extras" where from New Zealand.
And THEY did Haka towards the humans and elves at Helmes deep.
A bit of it is actually in the movie, as the cameras was rolling xD
Ah, thanks for that memory.
Hhaha seriously.
I love the blonde white kid on the left who’s putting little to no energy into this

He's like this shit has nothing to do with me, and he's right
Jennifer Bannink Does look Dutch tbf
@@Chappy9320 bit of a stretch
maybe he is the alien 🤔
*Just gonna point this out:*
You don't have to be just Maori to do the haka, anyone from any country can do this, But you have to have the strength and the confidence to do it properly, when doing the haka you must do it right. Or else if You do it wrong, it'll be disrespectful.
Point out, the haka isn't just a war dance, it can also be a sign to show respect.
If you ever go school in New Zealand it's common for you to learn the haka. It's a tradition passed down from generations.
This is fucking wonderful.
thanks for sharing!
True. Also every school has its own haka. They're all different.
@@icebergrose8955 yeah and I respect each and everyone of our Pacific Islander hakas.
Thanks for permission. I was afraid that doing haka in America would get me into some cultural appropriation things and got me canceled.
I like how casually they all sit down afterwards.
what are they suppose to do? Do a handstand? 🤦♂️
Zanos what the fuck do you mean
You’d be so pumped!
@@derk486 What the fuck are they suppose to do other than sit down
Zanos you missed the point buffoon
Imagine if it was your first day. "You'll be fine, just follow along."
All the Year 9's (First year's) that didn't know the school Haka were standing at the top-back
Actually the year 9's do know it, in the middle of the year each class of year 9's had to stand in front of an audience while doing the school Haka and if any of them didn't know it, well they'll look like a fool
Tell that to the white kid who looks clueless during the entire haka.
***** He was the deputy head boy but has now finished school so nah
+Stef T The blonde guy next to the one with the microphone seems to be in that situation, ha ha ha ha ha
“ouch”

We should have done this instead of Naruto running when storming Area 51...

I don't know why but I'm ready to fight anyone
Wym u don’t know why. That’s the point of a haka
Even John wick?
Except them.
😂😂☺️
absolute mood
I never had him as a teacher myself, but even when i was there, I knew that Mr Adam's meant a lot to a lot of kids. PNBHS and proud.
Guy in the blazer really having the time of his life
I feel like they went to conquer the next school over
That's what they do on the rugby field...or try to do.
@@jamiegilbert52 I started to learn haka when I was in NZ. I was floored when I first saw it done. My friends' family was happy to teach me!!
They went to conquer Australia
Probably could make a good movie in the last scene of battle between schools
They would have a haka standoff the other school would of had their own haka to (from 2020)
you know it's a good haka when the white boys go hard
YEEEEEESSSSS!
Haarts power in unity
Oscar Lee not white, they’re MAORI.
FFS Oscar! I was a ginger, posh-british, white boy when I moved to New Zealand but that meant FUCK ALL! We were honouring a culture of warriors, of leaders, but most importantly, a culture where all men were brothers. Don't bring racial divides into this, the liberal left wingers have done that already.
Look at the fucking race baiter.
It doesn’t get any cooler than this awesome show of respect !!!!!
May 2016 until May 2017
Was an honor for me spend 1 year working and traveling in that magic country!
Kia ora Aotearoa!
Man on the mic doesn't get enough recognition, a fearless leader inspires the rest. Unlimited respect for the culture.
What Even is this?

Every time I witness a true Haka it gives me tears of joy and pride. I must have been Māori in another lifetime.
The guy with the mic leading the whole haka was so into it, great job
Respect.
If humans ever go into war with some kind of alien species, we're all lining out together and doing the Haka.

As a retired teacher and from a family of life long educators, this video is one of my all time favorites. I get teary eyed every time I see it. If this was done for me I would be a blubbering puddle of tears. These kids were awesome. I can only imagine the kind of teacher this man must have been.

It is so refreshing to see the youth keeping a tradition alive! Most young people nowadays don't value or even have any respect for old traditions! Even though it has been 6 years from when this video was posted! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Don`t watch before go outside your home - you will want to smash everything. This video is full of a warrior spirit!

I agree Brother, these Beta Males making fun can shut the fuck up.
Imagine this but with 10000 soldiers...
The Kanjo god even the earth would tremble in fear
NZ Army probably.
Haka always moves me in a way I can’t explain. I feel like it’s a wonderful example of true masculinity. Power, strength, respect, how it should be. Striking fear into enemies, pledging love and protection to friends and family.
All masculinity is positive brother, that’s what being a man is all about.
@@jethroise6245 I agree my original comment was not phrased properly, I did not mean to denote that masculinity by itself is negative, because I truly don’t believe that so I have changed my comment to reflect my thoughts better. But there is definitely an abuse of masculinity, a perversion of it that plagues a lot of people, so what I meant to express is that seeing this beautiful display of what masculinity should be is really refreshing!
I want this at my funeral!

Shit I want a haka at my wedding, I want to live to see it... better yet be in it
I had this at my funeral. Then I came back to life.
Then make sure you earn it. Having Haka performed for you is not that easy, you know.
They are all so in sync with each other from the physicality to the voice and tone. They all definitely look and sound like warriors not matter the age or grade level.
What a wonderful tribute to Mr Adams, and to see the entire student population of the school participated.
I love replaying the part where they're sitting down completely disorganized in different times right after being in complete synchronization connected as one, because it just reinforces in me the idea of how much performing the Haka creates a strong sense of community and togetherness and how after it ends they instantly go back to being individuals in one same community.
New Zealand culture is so so interesting, oh my god that gave me absolute chills
Just their passion and unity
Okay I’m moving to New Zealand now.
It's a ceremony held for mourning as well as for war.
Been here for most of my life. Originally from Asia. And I must say, the culture is very unique and distinct.
I am from New Zealand so seeing comments like this make me feel so smug lmao
Goddamn this is amazing. I wonder what it feels like to have a cultural background that inspires this kind of pride and intensity.
It's great!
Most cultures with any history of warfare have some equivalent. Here's a Germanic battle galdr, for example.
