BOVEY This we believe to be a direct result of raising the level of self- esteem, the Cleaning Staff A.

This we Librarian *Nlrs. R, POTTS know to have been one of Mr. Cooper's aims; this, assuredly, he has achieved. Librarian Mrs. M. SPINDLER Principal's Secretary Mrs. K.

This has been the provision of equipment, aids, buildings, which have enabled all aspects of education to be expanded and to receive the greater PREFECTS: necessary attention. Because the acquisition of such things has given satisfaction ROSS PRESTIDGE (Head Boy) *VALERIE KENYON (Head Girl) to teachers, it follows that they have brought benefit to pupils.

Unenviable it. must· always be when one assumes an office of which it can be said: This task was well performed. Difficult it always is to assume command without reshaping too much or too quickly the pattern that has become habit. Essential and inevitable it is to impose something of one's own personality on the foundations which have been established. It was so with kings; it is no less so with principals, As this transition can be achieved by the co-operotion of all those who form part of the state politic, so with the assistance of teachers and pupils can it be achieved in a school. It is our task, our obligation, to make this as easy as possible. Let us then in expressing gratitude to Mr. Cooper and bidding him farewell, welcome Mr. Burrow, and assure him of our loyalty. Thus, where we say with Dryden, "Kings cannot reign unless their subjects give," it is not inappropriate for us to echo the French cry, "Le rol est mort; vive Ie roil" B, V, COOPER, B.A., Dip.

This is important because it provides us with scientifi cally robust measures of how the environment is changing. Overall, the report shows that the health of our rivers and streams – an important issue for Taranaki – does decrease down catchments, as would be expected in an intensively farmed region, but signifi cantly, over time, it is either not changing or has measurably improved. This is despite expansion and intensifi cation of our agricultural sector over the past fi ve to 10 years. Positive movements towards sustainability continue in our erosion-prone inland hill country.
