  • Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
    A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school.

  • Spas and Geothermal Fields Candice Chalmers Brock
    ROTORUA ABSTRACT 1 Running head: ROTORUA ABSTRACT Rotorua Abstract Rotorua – Spas and Geothermal Fields Candice Chalmers Brock University Dave Brown Due: February 18 2010 TREN 3F94 ROTORUA ABSTRACT 2 In New Zealand’s North Island, a unique and popular tourist attraction can be found. Rotorua, a district that is filled with “...steaming hot springs, explosive geysers [and] bubbling mud pools...” (Lonely Planet, 2008, p.32) reminds tourists that they are in a destination that is incomparable. The harsh scent of sulphur fills the region, but this harmless element has been created by the geothermal activity that occurs in Rotorua (Bell, 1999). With ‘lunar landscapes’ that have been created by volcanic action and fourteen lakes, Rotorua attracts tourists of all kinds as this destination boasts a distinct natural environment (Ryan & Pike, 2003, p.315). The creation of these natural wonders have been because of Geothermal fields which have been produced by the ingredients of water, heat and access to the earth’s surface for geothermal heat. Once cold water moves through the ground towards the heat, the water naturally warms and moves upwards thus establishing geysers, fumaroles, mud pools and also hot springs (Department of Conservation). There are five main areas within Rotorua that possess these remarkable sights, and they are known as Whakarewarewa, Tikitere, Waimangu, Waiotapu and Orakei Korako (New Zealand on the Web). All are located in fairly close proximity, making them extremely accessible to visitors. With result many spas have been established throughout Rotorua, as there is undoubtedly an appeal to tourists as many are looking to achieve a personal experience with the natural products.

  • Part One: Nzdep Index of Deprivation
    Rotorua District Indicators of Socio-Economic Status 2008 5 PART ONE: NZDEP INDEX OF DEPRIVATION 6 Rotorua District Indicators of Socio-Economic Status 2008 NZDep INDEX OF DEPRIVATION Socio-economic status refers to a community’s ability to access resources and opportunities. Deprivation, or low socio-economic status, can cause social and economic exclusion and related social costs. Geographic differences in deprivation can be measured in terms of income levels and income sources, access to private motor vehicles, access to telecommunications, home ownership, living space, employment status, educational attainment, and family type. KEY POINTS: • 45.7% of the Rotorua District population lives in areas that are considered the 30% most deprived in the country. • The overall District scored 7 on the NZDep index in 1991, 1996, 2001 and 2006. In 2006 there were more residents living in very deprived areas (NZDep of 9 and 10), and fewer residents living in high socio-economic areas (NZDep of 1 and 2). • The most deprived parts of the District include residential areas close to the CBD, western suburbs including Fordlands, Koutu, Western Heights and Selwyn Heights, Whaka in the South, Ngapuna in the east and the rural settlement of Kaingaroa Forest.2 The NZDep index is a weighted average of nine Census indicators of socio-economic status for a specific area (refer Table 1).3 The NZDep divides New Zealand into equal tenths. A score of 10 indicates a geographic area is in the most deprived 10 percent of all areas in New Zealand. The scoring system is interpreted in the opposite way to the Ministry of Education’s decile rating system.

  • Planning for the Future of Rotorua
    PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE OF ROTORUA A DISCUSSION DOCUMENT ON SPATIAL PLANNING KŌRERO MAI Ō MOEMOEA MŌ ROTORUA rotorualakescouncil.nz/letstalk rotorualakescouncil.nz/koreromai MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR | HE KŌRERO NĀ TE MANUKURA We are experiencing significant change, progress and population growth in the Rotorua district. People and businesses are choosing in greater numbers to come and live here and we need to provide for ongoing growth for the future prosperity and wellbeing of Rotorua. The challenge is to ensure the way development happens will protect what makes our home special, while at the same time propelling the district forward. There are a number of building blocks which need to fit together. Our 2030 vision has set an enduring pathway forward for our district and our Long-term Plan provides a platform for Rotorua’s progress towards our long-term goals over the medium term. Another building block we need to ensure we’re prepared for ongoing growth and development will be our “spatial plan”. This will provide a blueprint for how we want our district to look in the future, where development should occur, what kind of development and how much. It will mean asking and answering some tough questions and as part of developing that blueprint, or spatial plan, we are coming to you for your input. Hearing from you, the community, about what you see as the important issues and how you see the district developing and growing is an essential part of the process of developing our spatial plan. This discussion document is designed to get us all thinking and talking about this important piece of work.
