    Murchison Area School 61 Waller Street P O Box 73 Murchison 7049 Phone 03 5239 072 [email protected] 26th October 2018 Term 4 School Wide Value — Consideration Kia ora, Moghrey Mie, I have spoken in recent weeks about our ERO (Education Review Office) report that we had last term. The final report has now been published and is an official document for all to see. I have placed this on our school website (www.murchison.school.nz ). It can also be found on the ERO website at www.ero.govt.nz . The following are some extracts from the report: 1) “Respectful and caring relationships contribute to equitable and successful outcomes for students. Students learn in a settled and supportive learning environment. Teachers know students very well as individuals and as learners and focus on their holistic wellbeing and academic success. Individual students’ learning is well tracked and monitored by classroom teachers. The school and wider community work closely to support and enrich students’ learning.” 2) “Students who need extra assistance to succeed are very well supported. There are improved systems to effectively identify, monitor and support these students. The school works constructively with parents and experts beyond the school to find solutions to improve student outcomes at home and at school. Students with additional learning needs benefit from well -considered individual learning plans and are supported towards full inclusion.” 3) “The vision, values and priorities that underpin the school’s culture and curriculum are well known and evident in practice. This includes restorative practices and growth mindset approaches.The school’s valued outcomes for students are regularly shared to build and embed understanding.

    Problem weeds in the Abel Tasman While 113 different weed species have been found in the Abel Tasman, Project Janszoon, DOC and the Abel Tasman Birdsong Trust are particularly interested in what we call the “filthy fourteen”. Each of these plants poses a different threat to the Park. If you see or suspect any of these species in or around the Park, please let us know. You can report sightings on [email protected] or through the “Have You Seen This” section of the Abel Tasman smartphone app. If you wish to control any of these plants yourself, please ask us or DOC for advice on the best means of control. For more information about these weeds you can also go to www.weedbusters.org.nz Grevillea (Grevillea rosmarinifolia) is a classic example Grevillea of the right plant in the wrong place. Originally from Australia, it is commonly found in gardens in Marahau, Nelson and Kaiteriteri, where it is prized for its pink flowers and long flowering period. It is likely to have been brought into Torrent Bay village as a garden plant, but instead found the Park’s dry ridges more to its liking. The seeds are dispersed by wind and at Torrent Bay it has spread up to 2 km back into the bush, colonising bare ridges in particular. The Birdsong Trust has spent $40,000 controlling it in this area, with years of work still to do to bring this Aussie invader under control. Please don’t select any Grevillea species to plant at your bach or near the Park’s boundaries.

    New Zealand’s Hottest Destination Is One You’ve Likely Never Heard Of At the top of the country’s South Island, Nelson Tasman dazzles visitors with otherworldly natural beauty and world-class wine, art, and cuisine. By Alexandra Kirkman August 18, 2019 Even in a country renowned across the globe for its ineffable natural beauty, New Zealand’s Nelson Tasman region particularly astounds. Encompassing the most northwesterly part of the South Island—including the city of Nelson, its oldest settlement—and considered the nation’s sunniest place (with 30% more rays than the national average), it’s home to a literal slew of earthly wonders, including Lake Rotomairewhenua—officially named “the clearest lake in the world”—and Farewell Spit, one of the largest sand spits on the planet, as well as scads of exquisite beaches, cerulean bays, extraordinary rockscapes, soaring alpine peaks, and towering ancient forests. But the area’s spectacular array of staggering landscapes is just one notable element of its exceptional and varied allure. These days, Nelson Tasman offers a bona fide bonanza of first-rate activities and destinations for nature-lovers, oenophiles, gourmets, and aesthetes alike. Gardens of Plenty It’s worth planning your trip well in advance to score a coveted reservation at Edenhouse, Nelson Tasman’s most sought-after luxury lodge. Nestled in the seemingly boundless verdure of the Orinoco Valley, a secluded pastoral area studded with farms and orchards and just 45 minutes from Nelson Airport, it’s an unrivaled base from which to explore the myriad riches of the region—though no one will blame you for never wanting to leave the idyllic grounds.
