Why a real estate company sponsors the Queenstown Marathon? The New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty Queenstown Marathon is fast approaching and already we can feel the excitement amongst our community; the out-of-towners are starting to arrive for extended holidays, the locals are training on the trails and the businesses are bracing for a booming weekend on November 21-22. New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty is the title partner of the world- renowned event therefore I’m often asked the question: why would a real estate agency sponsor a running race? For us, the answer is twofold. Not only does the marathon, a prestigious and well-organised event, align with our brand values, but the multitude of benefi ts this one outstanding event brings to the Southern Lakes – our founding region – is phenomenal. The Queenstown Marathon weekend is Queenstown’s second-busiest weekend after New Year’s Eve. More than 10,000 runners are expected to race in either the full, half or 10km races. Most of these people are Wayne Foley, above, will be one of 10,00 taking part in Saturday’s marathon New Zealanders, visiting us from regions such as Canterbury, Otago and festival. Foley is chairman of the WHS Foundation and together with teachers Auckland. All of these people come to Queenstown to run the race, enjoy and students from the High School hopes to raise much needed the cafes, restaurants and bars, do some shopping, explore our scenery and, funds for the Foundation. ultimately, leave on a high. This is fantastic not only for our businesses but for our community and our morale, particularly after a tumultuous 2020. Even though there is obviously a drop in international athlete participation (approximately 13% of athletes are entered this year, versus an average of 25% international athletes), the New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty Queenstown Marathon is expected to inject nearly $8 million into the local economy this year. That is a remarkable achievement for one standalone event, particularly at a time where many sporting events around the world are either cancelled or signifi cantly challenged by Covid-19. In terms of our own involvement, we have more than 40 staff members and licensees from around NZ coordinating and competing in the event. I am tremendously proud of our team who are continually striving to live our values not just in their careers but in their everyday lives. As a company that was founded in the outdoor playground of Queenstown, being active – as well as general health and wellbeing – is important to us. We live here because of the incredible lifestyle that this corner of the world affords and it’s great to see the NZSIR team taking advantage of that. If you are participating in the event – either as a runner or spectator, or as part of the wonderful volunteer crew – please come and say “hello”. We’ll be at the New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty stretch tent at the fi nish line, hopefully celebrating a successful effort. Best of luck to all the athletes. Mark Harris Managing Director of New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty

Here’s the layout of Queenstown’s next primary school. “Tania’s an experienced principal and it’s been good to have her on board already, and her voice at the table. She’ll be great.” The school, on Howden Drive, was gifted its official te reo name by local iwi. Ngai Tahu blessed the school earlier this year. It will be commonly known as Te Kura Kawarau. Te Kura means a place of learning. Kawarau is the Maori name for the Remarkables mountain range. “Darren [local Ngai Tahu leader] and [his son] Michael Rewi have been so supportive. Darren came to our landscape meeting and we’ve talked about our values and our vision and made sure it aligned with them. “It’s been really great to have that reciprocal relationship with them, we’re very lucky.” Hollyer says there’s already been interest from the community, and the board is in discussions with the Ministry and Remarkables Primary around zoning. There’s no time frame around how the school will grow beyond 425 pupils. “You’ll know from Shotover how quickly things can grow, particularly when there’s a suburb developing around it, so I suspect it will be sooner rather than later. “ QLDC has now received the Ministry’s resource consent and a decision is expected soon.

We’ve been around education long enough to know things change - at the moment collaborative learning in open spaces is the trend, but that may swing back the other way. “So with furniture, sliding walls and glass doors, we can get a flexible space that can be used for either. “We’ve felt really heard by the Ministry, it’s been really good.” Joining the meetings in recent weeks has been foundation principal Tania McNamara, who was appointed last month.
