Year of Mercy: In his homily for the canonization of St Teresa of Kalkutta, Pope Francis said: “Our task is to perceive the call of God and then to do his will. But in order to do his will, we must ask ourselves, “What is God’s will in my life?” “. These words reflect the emphasis Pope Francis puts on the practise of discernment. In another homily he said: “Discernment is always done in the presence of the Lord, looking at the signs, listening to the things that happen, the feeling of the people, especially the poor.” For Mother Teresa discernment was a natural outcome of prayer and being in the presence of the Lord. That discernment enabled her to take big steps with certainty, for example, when she left the Sisters of Loreto to work in the slums of Calcutta, she said: "I was to leave the convent and help the poor while living among them. It was an order. To fail would have been to break the faith”. Discernment is not just for saints; it is for all who want to follow Christ. This week our EPIC Award “EPIC Eddie” was awarded to Room 12. They received this award because the week before last they had some fairly challenging tasks, including writing a formal essay analysing the meaning and language features in a song. This was something new to many of the students. It was also the week they started doing production rehearsals every day, which meant a lot of the students were busy with those and had little spare time to complete work. Quite a few Year 8 boys were also out for most of a day sitting a scholarship exam. Despite all that, every student in Room 12 completed all their tasks for the week and did an especially good job writing their essays. Room 12 showed perseverance and creativity with their work. On Tuesday 13th September we will be holding an Open Day from 9.00am – 12.00pm. This will be a chance to see a typical day at school and visit classrooms throughout the school. We will have some of our senior students guiding visitors around the school. We invite current and prospective parents to have a look around our classrooms on this day. If you know of families considering St Benedict’s School for their children for 2017 please let them know about this day. Congratulations to three of our students who won prizes at the NIWA Wellington Science Fair at Victoria University last week. Ystefano Ubaldo won first place overall in Year 8 for his project on the most efficient ways to dry clothes. Emily-Kei Brewerton came third overall in Year 8, and also won a Victoria University Faculty of Education Prize for her project on seaweed fertiliser. Elizabeth Sullivan won a Victoria University Faculty of Education Prize for her project investigating which forms of exercise burn the most energy. Well done also to the other seven students who represented our school so well at the Science Fair: Dhyanesh Joseph, Alex Humphrey, JL Ibarra, Jennifer Arthurs, Katherine Robson, Lottie Keogh and India Donoghue. We are very proud of our students and it is great to see them continuing our school tradition of high achievement in this event. Thank you to everyone who came along to our Father’s Day Breakfast last Friday. It was great to see so many children enjoying breakfast with their family and friends. We would like to say a huge thank you to Kylie Faitaua and her team for all of the planning and work they put into making this event the success it is. Check out the latest update about the Spring Fair and from HOK in this newsletter. The fundraising work they do makes a huge difference to the education of all students at St Benedict’s school and we are grateful for their ongoing work and support. Last week (Monday-Sunday), our solar panels generated 87 kWh of solar energy. Our school page can be viewed by clicking on the St Benedict’s School Schoolgen link: http://schoolgen.co.nz/schoolgen-schools/st-benedicts-school. From the Archdiocese of Wellington Thank you to those of you who have completed the survey for the New Zealand Bishops Conference already. If you would like to contribute your views please send your replies to school by tomorrow or email responses to Coralie at [email protected]. Information about the survey is below. The New Zealand Catholic Education Office and the New Zealand Catholic Bishops Conference are seeking information from Catholic communities about involvement in the Catholic faith, parish life and being part of a Catholic community.

If you have thoughts and opinions to share the Bishops would be grateful for your input as they seek to find ways to strengthen Catholic communities.

  • Khandallah, Broadmeadows, Ngaio, Crofton Downs and Kaiwharawhara
    3 Management sector plans 3.1 Sector 1 Khandallah, Broadmeadows, Ngaio, Crofton Downs and Kaiwharawhara A unique feature of this sector is the harbour escarpment and the steep gullies off Onslow Road and Homebush Road. Where topography permits, the bush reserves have been developed to include tracks, with play areas, kick-about space or informal recreation space sometimes also provided. The Outer Green Belt (OGB) extends right down into Broadmeadows, Crofton Downs, Ngaio and Khandallah and provides a prominent natural setting for residential housing in this area and access to the extensive track system. The suburban reserves enhance ecological connectivity between the OGB and the harbour via the large natural gully reserves and smaller pockets of open space. This sector is adjacent to but does not include Trelissick Park or reserves in the Outer Green Belt. The open space network comprises: • One sport and recreation (community) park – Nairnville Park, which has a 3/4 size artificial field, three winter fields, two summer cricket blocks, a skateboard ramp and a community playground. Nairnville Recreation Centre is located on the park and provides a range of indoor recreation activities and programmes, changing rooms and public toilets during its hours of operation. • Kaiwharawhara Park on Hutt Road has one winter field and changing rooms. • Ngaio Tennis Club leases a recreation reserve on the corner of Crofton Road and Waikowhai Street. • 10 neighbourhood parks with a further two, Khandallah Park and play area and Silverstream Road play area, on the edge of this sector managed under the Outer Green Belt Management Plan. • Several large bush reserves.

  • Stage 1 – Issues and Needs Analysis Summary of Submissions
    Stage 1 – Issues and Needs Analysis Summary of Submissions Summary of Submissions 1 Executive summary This report summarises the submissions received as part of the first stage of consultation on the North Wellington Public Transport Study. The first stage of the study seeks to identify the public transport issues of the community and key stakeholders, particularly the passenger transport needs of the area. Key stakeholders including land transport providers, community groups, schools, affected residents and the general public were invited to participate in the consultation process. Notification of the process was undertaken in November 2005 through public notices in local papers, public displays at the Johnsonville Mall, Johnsonville, Khandallah and Ngaio Libraries, and a maildrop to over 15,000 households throughout the study area. In addition a webpage was set up to increase awareness and provide an ongoing reference point for interested parties. In total, just over 500 submissions were received from individuals, 5 from community groups and 4 from other organisations. Geographically, submissions were received from the suburbs within the study area. Khandallah, Ngaio, and Johnsonville (in order) were the largest submitter groups. 42 submitters did not specify a suburban address, 8 were from the wider Wellington Region and 1 was from a national organisation. Over half of submitters wished to be contacted further regarding the study. Key findings • Slightly over 50% of submitters use bus services while slightly under 50% use train services. • Approximately 85% walk to their public transport, 15% drive. • The top six issues raised by submitters were frequency of buses (18%), reliability (17%), route (17%), new trains (12%), and the rundown state of trains (10%).

  • SUBMISSION Khandallah Medium Density Housing and Town Centre Plans
    SUBMISSION Khandallah Medium Density Housing and Town Centre Plans From: Khandallah Residents Group c/o 53 Cashmere Avenue Khandallah Wellington 6035 [email protected] Contacts: Diane Calvert Ph 029 971 8994 Christine McKenna Ph 021 107 1675 This submission is made on behalf of the above working group. There are 11 members on the working group, and 305 people who have chosen to be on our database. Summary 1. To be clear, the Khandallah Residents group supports housing choice and supply solutions that best meet the current and future needs of our community. 2. Khandallah Residents Group is opposed to Council’s plan for medium-density housing in Khandallah as an appropriate solution to meeting housing choice and supply needs. 3. The need for additional housing in Khandallah is modest and does not justify the introduction of medium-density housing of the type and scale proposed. Rather than copying housing solutions from larger and different types of cities, we should be more innovative and devise answers appropriate to the scale of the future need and that fit with our community. 4. We have significant concerns about the quality of the consultation process and the flawed and leading submission form. 5. The town planning process needs to take into account the whole suburb and its infrastructure needs and be undertaken in collaboration with the community. This should culminate in a holistic plan for the future of Khandallah. Only then should a Khandallah Design Guide should be developed (not the other way around as has already occurred). 6. Local residents highly value Khandallah’s character (e.g.
