Students took part in a series of competitions and events designed to promote science and engineering. A thank you to Mr Martelli and the senior teachers who helped prepare the students for this event. Whip, Grip, Rip: A huge congratulations to all those students who participated in the Whip, Grip and Rip mountain biking event on Tuesday. There were three races (A taster of mountain biking, Let me fly, and Legend Status). Only Legend Status took placings for students because the focus for the other two was participation. Legend Status results: Year 5 and 6 girls: 1st Georgia, 2nd Cate, 3rd Ceara Year 5 and 6 boys: 1st Matthew, 2nd Nathan, 3rd Lachlan There was also a mixed relay team consisting of Matthew, Georgia and Nathan.

Thank you to Whaea Catherine, Whaea Cherie, Whaea Lisa, Mrs Barker, Mr Martelli and Mr Doyle for supporting our students on the day. Mini Marathon Well done to the approximately 200 Lynmore students who participated in the Rotorua Mini Marathon last week. It was fantastic to see so many of our students getting out there and being active. Keep it up! Walking to school reminder: Just a reminder we are supporting Rotorua Lakes Council with trialling two safe to travel walking routes to and from Lynmore School. · Owhatiura Drive: Meet beside the Retirement Home fence opposite number 31 at 8.20 am · Warwick Drive: Meet outside the Bowling Club carpark on Warwick Drive at 8:20 am · Walking Home: We will meet all children outside the office and split into two walking groups.

The KickStart Breakfast Programme is all go in our school! FROM THE PRINCIPAL ... Sponsor the Fence - Update We are replacing the sports surface (AstroTurf) and the surrounding fencing, both are over 20 years old. The combined cost of replacement of both is around $170k. We need to raise around $55k to enable us to complete the entire project including: · Removing some of the trees that drop leaves onto the AstroTurf along side Te Ngae Road. · Replacing the fence Once the new fencing is place and some of the obscuring trees removed, the two sides marked below have a great advertising opportunity along Te Ngae Road and Iles Road. We are therefore selling the option of an advertising space along the new fencing around the AstroTurf. Costs for advertising signage for a 2 year timeframe are as follows: Te Ngae Road side: Per 1.5 x 750 advertising space Sites 2 SOLD! Iles Road side: Per 1.5 x 1 metre advertising space Sites 5 Sold! ¨ Spaces are limited to a first in first served basis. ¨ Only one advert per field of business will be taken e.g. one real estate, one plumber, etc. ¨ Timeslot is for 2 years and then the signage will be taken down and replaced with new purchases ¨ You can purchase more than 1.8 x metre space for your advert. ¨ The school will produce the sign based on the graphics and words you send to us. Te Ngae Road – 24 x advertising spaces available @ $2,200 plus GST each Iles Road – 9 x advertising spaces available @ $1.500 plus GST each To book your space (before they all go) email: [email protected] A big thank you to the businesses that are Many thanks supporting us to date - some of the signage is up yay! Lorraine Taylor We encourage you to please support Principal these businesses. More sites are available - please contact Mary-Anne at the school office. ROOM 27 NEW FRIENDS!

  • Over the Years
    OVER THE YEARS A HISTORY OF THE RURAL COMMUNITY HALLS IN THE ROTORUA DISTRICT FOREWORD Nau mai, Haere mai, There are nine rural community halls in the Rotorua District, at Broadlands, Kaharoa, Mamaku, Ngakuru, Ngongotaha, Okareka, Reporoa, Rerewhakaaitu, and Waikite. Volunteers have driven the development and maintenance of these vital community facilities, which have been the focus for community functions and gatherings for many years. In 2001, Rotorua District Council awarded certificates of appreciation to many of these volunteers for their tireless efforts to sustain the upkeep of their local halls. This booklet was commissioned by the District Council to record the history of Rotorua’s rural halls, for both archival and community interest. Information was compiled in the latter months of 2002 by Marlana Maru, a Year 2 Bachelor of Applied Social Science student from the Waiariki Institute of Technology. RDC Social Research Officer Paul Killerby undertook additional editing and formatting. Marlana and I would like to thank the many local informants whose memories and impressions contributed to this booklet. In particular we would like to thank Barbara Blackburn, Peter Blackburn, Andy Burnett, Mary Burnett, David Fleet, Lyn Fleet, Maxine Greenslade, Triss Hill, Wally Hope, Marie Jepsen, Noeleen Martelli, Verna Martelli, Pam Murray, Jim Nicholson, Norman Reichardt, Rei Reichardt, Arthur Roe, Don Sandilands, and Chris Stevens. We would welcome any further background information on the halls listed in this booklet, which will be recorded and utilised in any further update of the publication.

  • 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.

Regional resistivity measurements and fluid chemistry surveys suggest that the Reporoa system is a lateral outflow of hot water from the Waiotapu Geothermal System to the north-east. A deep exploratory drillhole, encountered a sequence of lacustrine sediments, volcanic, tuffaceous and ignimbritic rocks. The well was discharged in October 1966, but was shut down after 5 hours during which time wellhead pressure fell from to Downhole temperatures in were measured after 47 days of heating and showed a significanttemperature inversion between and which is interpreted to be caused by hot water at about depth flowing above a cooler water influx.

Abstract New Zealand has numerous geothermal systems, particularly in the central part of the North Island. Geothermal emissions with sulphur-containing gas species, such as hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide, can be aggressive towards susceptible building and construction materials. These may include metals, timbers, paints and composites.
