Newsletter 4 END OF TERM II School will close for the end of Term II at 2.00pm on Friday 02 July and re-open for Term III at 8.45am on Monday 19 July. Friday will bring to a close a most rewarding and productive term. It has been an extremely busy Term with Zone Sports Competitions, Local Schools’ Art Festival, Electives, Reports and a most successful Performing Arts Festival as well as all important classwork. Most students have grasped the variety of learning experiences offered them in the class and in the school wide programmes and have been rewarded for their efforts and initiatives. I would like to thank parents/caregivers for the support and encouragement they have given us during the course of the last 10 weeks, in terms of encouraging their children to participate and supporting homework and class programmes. Also a special thank you to the many parents/caregivers previously mentioned in Newsletters who have assisted with specific activities. On behalf of parents/caregivers, I would like to both thank and compliment the teaching and support staff for their efforts during the course of the term. Their commitment and professionalism in the classroom and in the activities in the wider corporate life of Pasadena Intermediate are key reasons for the success of this school. On Friday we will sadly say farewell to our wonderful receptionist, Mrs Erynn Riesterer. She is leaving us to commence a teaching qualification. Thank you Erynn for everything and best wishes. Thank you also to the members of the Board of Trustees for their support, guidance and efforts during the term.

  • Central Kingsland Including Eden Terrace, Western Springs and Morningside
    Central Kingsland including Eden Terrace, Western Springs and Morningside erched on the fringe of the central city, Kingsland is a long-neglected suburb whose P time has finally come to shine. As well as the cafés, designer handcraft retailers and fashion boutiques, there are now new apartment buildings, trendy shops, funky bars and busy restaurants. Originally a working-class neighbourhood, old Kingsland is typified by the narrow streets of old cottages running parallel to the northwestern motorway. The further down the hill you are, the less sun and the more motorway noise you get. Eden Terrace is an edgy mix of commercial and residential; it has an idiosyncratic, bohemian character and a number of student flats. Morningside, fictional home of TV3’s Bro’Town, is primarily commercial and light industrial. Western Springs has a mix of gentrified bungalows and state housing. Population Profile Population 6,291 % Aged Under 15 Years 10.78 % Aged Over 65 Years 3.62 % European 55.65 % Maori 7.72 % Pacific Peoples 11.44 % Asian 18.17 Who Lives There? This once less-than-desirable area is now humming to the sound of coffee machines and the cry of wee ones following in their trendy parents’ footsteps. There is still some blue- collar presence here, but the newer residents are white-collar-types who can’t quite afford Grey Lynn. Rental properties are plentiful across these suburbs and popular with students, but Western Springs has largely become a thriving family area. The do-ups that renovators have bought in the past are now ripe for re-sale and are being snapped up by willing buyers.

  • Counts of Waterbirds at Western Springs Lake, Auckland, New Zealand
    142 Notornis, 2016, Vol. 63: 142-151 0029-4470 © The Ornithological Society of New Zealand Inc. Counts of waterbirds at Western Springs Lake, Auckland, New Zealand B.J. GILL* Auckland War Memorial Museum, Auckland, New Zealand R.C. WEST 1/12 Odessa Crescent, St Heliers, Auckland, New Zealand Abstract Waterbirds were counted over ~ 12 ha of Western Springs Lakeside Park, Auckland, twice-monthly from November 2012 to October 2014. On average there were 742 water-birds per count (s.d. = 151.7, range = 511–1081), equating to a mean density of about 62 birds/ha within the study area. The 3 commonest species (mallard, Anas platyrhynchos, black-backed gull, Larus dominicanus and feral goose, Anser anser) made up 63% of all waterbirds counted. Mallard (and all waterbirds combined) were most abundant in summer and autumn. Black-backed gull, Eurasian coot (Fulica atra) and New Zealand scaup (Aythya novaeseelandiae) were seasonally uniform in numbers but red-billed gull (Larus novaehollandiae) were virtually absent from September to December. Spring was the peak season for numbers of black swan (Cygnus atratus), but the seasonal minimum for feral geese. Incidental historical counts trace temporal changes at Western Springs Lake, with a rapid increase of coots in the 1980s and of scaup in the 1990s. Royal spoonbill (Platalea regia) arrived more recently. The counts quantify for the first time the importance of the lake as a habitat for common water- birds on the Auckland isthmus.
