  • The Amalgamation of Secondary Schools
    THE AMALGAMATION OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS A CASE STUDY OF AMALGAMATION CULTURE SHOCK IN A RURAL NEW ZEALAND CATHOLIC COMMUNITY A thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Educational Administration at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand MADELEINE CLAIRE HILLS 1999 CANDIDATES STATEMENT I certifiy that the thesis entitled The Amalgamation of Secondary Schools: A Case Study of Amalgamation Culture Shock in a Rural New Zealand Catholic Community and submitted as a part of the degree of Master of Educational Administration at Massey University, Palmerston North, is the result of my own work, except where otherwise acknowledged, and that this thesis (or any part of the same), has not been submitted for any other degree to any other university or institution. Signed Date Amalgamation Thesis Madeleine Claire Hills 2 ABSTRACT This case study examines the process which led to the formation of Chanel College by the amalgamation of St Bride's and St Joseph's colleges in 1978. From 1970 - 1999 a radical restructuring of Catholic secondary education in New Zealand resulted in the closure of twelve single sex secondary schools for girls and the amalgamation of twenty-six secondary schQOls. Chanel College was the first New Zealand Catholic secondary school to bypass the co-institutional transitional phase of amalgamation and to be a co-educational college from its beginning. As time passes there is the possibility that important understandings that were part of the history of the merger might be lost and stakeholders in each of the merging organisations might feel that their own roots and mission have not been given enough recognition and respect in the new organisation.

  • Lansdowne.Pdf
    Lansdowne Pre 1909 26th February 1906 The residents of Lansdowne intend making an appeal to the Wellington Education Board for the erection of a school within that district, and at present a petition is in circulation for signatures. It is urged that there are approximately one hundred children of, or near, school age and that with either the school at Masterton or at Te Ore Ore, the distance is fairly long, and the roads and bridges crossed are much used for stock traffic and therefore dangerous. A suggestion is made that the Te Ore Ore school, in a district where settlement is not progressing and with the school attendance consequently on the decrease, should be transferred to a central position at Lansdowne. The matter is being taken up heartily by Lansdowne residents. 30th April 1906 At the meeting of the Education Board, last week, a petition from parents and guardians of children, asking that a school be established at Lansdowne, was considered The memorial contained the names and other particulars of children within school age. The number being over 80, while an almost equal number was given of children under 5 years. It was decided to refer the application to the Inspectors and the Masterton School Committee 11th May 1906 TE ORE ORE SCHOOL. Suggested Removal to Lansdowne Sub Committee Appointed to Make Enquiries. The advisableness of removing the To Ore Ore School from its present site was discussed at the meeting of the Masterton School Committee, last evening, when a letter was received from the Education Board asking the Committee's opinion on an application received from a number of residents at Lansdowne for the erection of the school in that district.

  • Environmental Education Department Report – August 2006
    Attachment 1 to Report 06.376 Page 1 of 33 Geoff Skene Manager, Environmental Education Environmental Education Department Report – August 2006 1. Conservation Week The week of the 6th to the 12th of August was Conservation Week. The Department has been involved in a number of activities in support of this. Conservation Week was launched by the Minister of Conservation at Pataka Museum in Porirua. Pataka was the venue for “Our Big Backyard” a week long programme of events with a conservation theme, including activities for schools and children. A display promoting Take Action was in place for the week, alongside another by the Biosecurity Department relating to pest plants. Displays promoting care groups were also mounted at Parliament for the Conservation Awards and at the usual Conservation Week venue in the Wellington Cathedral. The Wellington Conservancy of the Department of Conservation ran a programme for schools promoting conservation at Catchpool Valley, which we funded St Bernadette’s School to attend. This school is working with us on Take Action at present. Students undertook classroom activity, a bush walk, and some planting during their visit to Catchpool. 2. Conservation Awards A school, individuals, and care groups working with Greater Wellington were recognised at the 2006 Conservation Award ceremony duing Conservation Week. Kenakena School won the Young Conservationist Category for its long term environmental education focus and, in particular, its contribution over eight years to the restoration of the Mauapoko Stream at Greendale Reserve in Kapiti. The school has completed Take Action twice, undertaken many action projects, and has a long history of planting and other environmental activity.
