One of our stated values is ‘stewardship’ – or responsible decision-making to grow the resources in our care. In the year following the devastating Christchurch earthquakes, the importance of this came into sharp focus, leading to a major review of the structural safety of all Trust-owned buildings. Grants Total grants to the Masterton community were maintained at a similar level to the previous four years at more than $1 million. The Trust’s continued focus on education saw education grants increase by five per cent on 2011. In the first full year of a major initiative for the early childhood sector, we invested more than $40,000 in high- quality professional development programmes for teachers. In another positive result, the Weighted Average Lease Term This initiative and its well-established equivalents in the (WALT) for Trust property increased from 5.1 to 5.5 years.

  • 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.

  • Infrastructure Strategy
    Masterton District Council Infrastructure Strategy Our 30 year strategy 2018 - 2048 Masterton District Council June 2018 ASSET MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT 1 1. Context 1.1 The place - Masterton (Whakaoriori) - Wairarapa. Wairarapa is said to have been named by the Maori explorer Haunui as he stood on a peak in the Remutaka Range, looking down over the extensive valley. As he looked, the sun sparkled on the waters of the rivers and lakes, and he called the area Wairarapa-Glistening Waters. The land was settled by successive waves of Maori. By the time Captain Cook became the first European to see Wairarapa in 1770, members of the Rangitane and Kahungunu iwi were the tangata whenua of Wairarapa. During the disruption caused by the Musket Wars many Wairarapa Maori left the district for sanctuary of Hawke Bay and the East Coast, returning following ten years exile in 1841. They set about rebuilding their villages and re-establishing their cultivations on their traditional sites. Sites near Masterton included Kaikokirikiri near today's Mahunga golf course; Mangaakuta, at Homebush, and Kaitekateka at Te Ore Ore. In 1841 the first European explorers were also making their way through the interior of the valley, searching for grazing areas for the recently arrived Wellington settlers. By the late 1840s the first large run holders were established, leasing their substantial holdings from local Maori, grazing their stock on largely unaltered pasture. In 1853, a group of Wellington and Hutt Valley workingmen, led by cooper Joseph Masters, formed the Small Farms Association, and petitioned Governor Grey for land upon which to establish their settlement.
