Since 1996, Mr Hogue has been principal of Roncalli College, in Timaru. he will take up his role at St Peter’s at the beginning of term John Hogue three. “St Peter’s College, because of its size, usually attracts ‘first time’ principals, so we are particularly fortunate to have secured the talents of Mr Hogue as the seventh principal of St Peter’s College,” Mr Hunter said. “On behalf of the board of trustees, I would like to acknowledge the work of Lindy Cavanagh-Monaghan and Bronwyn Smith in the efficient management of the school during the interval between principals and I seek that the support they have received from the school community continues through to term three,” Mr Hunter said. “I would also like to acknowledge the staff of St Peter’s, who have this innate ability and spirit to do what needs to be done and more, when we as a school are faced with management changes. To the board of trustees, the challenge of appointing a principal is a very important task, and I acknowledge not only the time invested in this process, but the expertise and professional input that [all board members] contributed so willingly. “I am sure that you will all join me in welcoming John and Brenda Hogue to our school community,” Mr Hunter said.

  • The Working Life of Thomas Ferens 1848 – 1888
    “The Southern World is my Home”: The Working Life of Thomas Ferens 1848 – 1888 Peita Ferens-Green March 2018 Word Count: 40,664 Contents Abstract 2 List of Figures 3 Acknowledgements 4 Introduction 6 Chapter One: Religious Influences, Intercultural Relationships and Examination of the ‘Self’, 1848 – 1851 25 Chapter Two: Pastoral Pursuits, 1852 – 1871 59 Chapter Three: A Mixed Slice of Life, 1872 – 1888 84 Conclusion 108 Bibliography 114 1 Abstract This thesis is a case study of Thomas Ferens, a Methodist lay preacher from England. Utilising personal testimony, it follows his life in New Zealand from 1848 – 1888, focussing upon his various occupational pursuits to explore how his sense of ‘self’ affected his migrant experience, analysing how he navigated life in the settlement, and how he was influenced by the world around him. Typically, migrant scholars using personal testimony focus on those of a (literate) middle to upper class status. A focus on Ferens, however, provides a working-class perspective. He similarly offers a perspective on Methodists in the Scottish Presbyterian Otago settlement. This work engages with studies of missionaries, religion in New Zealand, intercultural relations and constructs of self/other. It also addresses the impact of runholding and declaration of hundreds in North Otago and the need for personal mobility, both geographical and occupational, in this early period of settlement. 2 List of Figures Figure 1 Thomas Ferens; photograph, n.d.

It uses the case-study of rainmak- ing experiments and prayers in North Otago, New Zealand, in 1907, to challenge two dominant paradigms about New Zealand society: first, that scientific rationalism was auto- matically antipathetic to religion and, second, that by the early twentieth century scientific ideas were secularizing New Zealand society. North Otago’s residents viewed prayer and experiment as complementary activities de- signed to meet the same ends; there was no distinctive, hermetically sealed division between the secular and the profane.

  • New Zealand Media Ownership 2016
    NEW ZEALAND In 2016, the New Zealand media market MEDIA and ownership structures were stirred, and shaken as ownership convergence plans across media and telecom sectors were OWNERSHIP announced. Author: Merja Myllylahti 2016 December 1, 2016 AUT’s Centre for Journalism, Media and Democracy 1 New Zealand Media Ownership Report 2016 This JMAD New Zealand media ownership report observes that New Zealand media institutions are facing major changes in ownership and management, but it is not clear what combinations will eventually emerge. For the first time in six years, New Zealand media companies are exclusively owned by financial institutions. Media moguls and News Corp have sold all their shares in New Zealand media companies. The report also finds that the board structures of New Zealand media corporates favour further consolidation. This is not surprising, as many board directors have other directorships in financial institutions and corporate advisory businesses. In November, the Commerce Commission declined its preliminary merger approval of NZME & Fairfax. Unexpectedly, the commission stated in strong terms that the merger would give the combined company too much editorial and commercial power in print and digital platforms. It concluded that the merger failed the public benefit test, and would not be beneficial for democracy. However, the Commerce Commission makes its final decision about the NZME and Fairfax merger on March 2017. It is still possible that the merger will go ahead. In October, the commission delayed its decision about Sky TV & Vodafone NZ merger as it sought answers to “unresolved issues.” The commission raised concerns about the merged company’s market power in premium content such as live sports, as well as the likely impact on consumer prices.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Abstract The digital revolution has had far-reaching implications for the news media. The Internet has influenced how, where, and when citizens get news. It has added another element of competition between news providers, one that is not restricted by geographical boundaries. The ensuing attempts by news producers to increase, establish, and maintain a loyal readership online have been linked to an increase in tabloid and sensationalist news content (Fox & Gangl, 2011). Further, the fragmentation of the media landscape as a result of online news requires the media both to reconsider its position as the stalwart upholder of objectivity and to rethink its democratic watchdog role (Mancini, 2013). Additionally, studies have shown that readers of news online are increasingly selecting soft news stories (Tewksbury 2002; van Heekeren 2005; Mitchelstein & Boczkowski, 2010). Several authors (Iyengar & Hahn, 2011; Sunstein, 2002; Mitchelstein & Boczkowski, 2010) have expressed concern that this trend will lead to a poorly informed public unless news providers embrace the participatory potential of the Internet to foster meaningful debate on issues of importance.

    “We are not changing it”: A Reassessment of the History of the Flag PAUL CHRISTOFFEL Abstract According to conventional historical accounts, the New Zealand Ensign Act 1901 changed the national flag from the Union Jack to the current flag. This article shows that the 1901 Act did not change the national flag; it merely reconfirmed that the New Zealand ensign was ‘the recognised flag of the colony’. During 1900 the public became confused when an apparent rival national flag emerged thanks to a bureaucratic bungle. The 1901 Act abolished the rival flag, which was highly unpopular due to its unsightly white disc. The debates and discussions inspired by the flag referendums of 2015 and 2016 aroused in many New Zealanders a curiosity about the history and origins of the flag. To assist, the government provided a number of online resources, including updated articles on two web sites operated by the Ministry of Culture and Heritage. The Flag Consideration Panel produced a handy short video on the history of the flag and commissioned one of its members, historian Malcolm Mulholland, to write an informative booklet entitled New Zealand Flag Facts.1 According to these sources, New Zealand has already twice changed its national flag. In 1840 the Union Jack replaced the United Tribes flag as the recognised flag. 2 The Union Jack remained the national flag until 1902, when the New Zealand Ensign Act 1901 came into effect, replacing the Union Jack with the current flag.3 Yet the New Zealand Ensign Act, which is the main focus of this article, says nothing about a change of flag.

    Les allées d’arbres – de la guerre à la paix — Tree avenues – from war to peace 89 Memorial Avenues In New Zealand Les allées mémorielles en Nouvelle‐Zélande Stuart READ and John P. ADAM Stuart READ Landscape architect, horticulturist, expert member of ICOMOS‐IFLA international scientific committee on cultural landscapes ‐ Architecte paysagiste, horticulteur, membre du Comité scientifique international ICOMOS‐ IFLA sur les paysages culturels This paper gives an overview and examples: more research and central coordination is required. Soldiers or Memorial Avenues were planted across this small country, far from battlefields. The longest: Memorial Avenue, Oamaru, planted in August 1918 by the Oamaru Beautification Society and comprising, aptly, European (Quercus robur) and Turkey oaks (Q.cerris) commemorating c400 dead men and one woman from the region (S.Read, 16/4/18). New Zealand’s 1914 population was 1 million. World War 1 saw 10% of its people, some 103,000 troops and nurses head overseas. Some 18,277 died and another 41,317 (65,000: Mike Roche, pers. comm., 17/10/2018) were wounded (Watters, 2016). 1000 more died within 5 years of 1918 (wiki). This had huge impact, reshaping the country’s perception of itself (ibid, 2016). Avenues were a positive way to remember and honour the losses. Far more common were public monuments or single tree plantings. Morgan (2008, 147) cites 0.3% of the country’s war memorials were ‘parks or avenues’.

  • New Zealand Architecture in the 1880S Date: Friday 6Th December 2013 Venue
    Architectural style spreads its wings: New Zealand architecture in the 1880s Date: Friday 6th December 2013 Venue: School of Architecture/Te Wāhanga Waihanga, Victoria University/Te Whare Wānanga o te Ūpoko o te Ika a Māui, Wellington Convener: Christine McCarthy ([email protected]) The 1880s was a period in New Zealand of economic depression. It caused "unemployment, family distress, ragged children and exploited women workers, general business collapse, a crash in the property market, a ten-year banking crisis, bankruptcies and unstable ministries." But despite this Hodgson identifies this period in New Zealand's architectural history as one when: "Architectural style ... started to spread its wings and this period contains some fine examples of building design which was definitely out of the mainstream." Stacpoole and Beavan also identify style as important, but emphasise instead the gradual change culminating into: a synthesis of the styles, [with architects] taking from each what they fancied most and combining the parts into one building. This was the process known as eclecticism and it led to combinations even more strange than were once practised in the Elizabethan period. They note (of the eclectic turns of the Christchurch City Council Chambers), that Seager's: "turreted corner tower, great gable window, arches, and patterned brickwork, must surely have set Mountfort tut-tutting. They represent eclecticism in full play, wilful, unexpected, and provocative. His juxtapostitions continued to provoke throughout his career."
