- 13 - PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS
Greetings and peace to you all in the name of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
A warm welcome to you all as we gather together beneath Te Mata Peak for the Second Session of the 62nd Synod of the Anglican Diocese of Waiapu.
The Diocese of Waiapu was established on 27th September in 1858, 159 years ago, which is quite something to consider as we meet this year. Our geography reaches from Omokoroa north of Tauranga and follows the eastern coastline of the North Island to Cape Turnagain south east of Woodville. The western aspect of the diocese is marked by the Kaimai-Mamaku ranges, then around the Western aspect of Lake Taupo to the summits of the mountains of the Central Plateau, Tongariro, Ngaruahoe, Ruapehu and then across to the Kaweka and Ruahine ranges, traveling south to the Manawatu Gorge and across to Cape Turnagain.
The diversity of our geography is marked in three distinct regions from the Bay of Plenty, around Eastland and throughout Hawke’s Bay. The geography provides a rich history of missionary endeavour, land, ocean and river, and cultural depth that is unique in Aotearoa/New Zealand. The population is spread across vast areas of mountainous terrain, fertile agricultural valleys and small cities pocketed between clusters of rural communities. This is Waiapu and we are the Anglican people of this diocese.
Describing ourselves as a Church I have reflected with a few groups this year on the nature of how we describe ourselves as a church focusing on what we do and what skills we have to share. There are other ways that we could describe ourselves by looking at our history, doctrine, and traditions to name some. However in the context of developing an understanding of what we do and what skills we have inherent in our being it has been useful to focus on these two themes.
Here is a visual demonstration of the first part of the exercise. It is by no means a complete diagram of all that we do as a Diocese but it does reflect a good proportion of our life as a church.
Synod: We begin with the Synod as the governance body of the diocese, and the diocese as the basic unit of the church in Anglicanism. Our church is Episcopally led and Synodically governed, meaning that the Bishop has a role to lead and summons the Synod in order to govern together.
- 14 - Standing Committee: Alongside this Synod we appoint the Standing Committee to undertake the executive functions of Synod out of Session.
Parish: Parish life is an important element of our life as a church. There is not one part of Aotearoa/New Zealand and Polynesia that is not included in a defined section of geography that we know as a parish. More than just the geographical reference for the church, the parish is what we most often know as the place where we gather as an Anglican community within a wider community.
Worship: Parish life includes many opportunities to worship together as the Body of Christ. This is often the heart of our gathering as a community of faith in traditional settings, or in new ways like Messy Church.
Pastoral services: To many in the wider community we are known through the pastoral services that we share with others. Weddings, Baptisms, Funerals are often the connection for those loosely connected to the parish, or who are visitors.
Nurturing Faith: We are called as Christians to encourage believers to deepen their faith, and to nurture the faith of those who are exploring Christianity afresh. This happens in many ways with the support of clergy and laity in regular gathers, special programmes and in many different settings.
M ission: Our outreach and support of mission locally and overseas is a natural expression of our commitment to share the good news of Jesus Christ, and to support others who do the same in different contexts.
Community Involvement: Many of our churches provide leadership to significant community events and many parishioners are heavily involved in support of community groups.
Diocesan Office: Our office in Napier provides a wide range of services to the Diocese and has become well versed in many areas of compliance, financial services, employment, Human resources, Health and Safety, IT support, Insurance, Canon law and so the list goes on.
WBDT: The Waiapu Board of Diocesan Trustees is a board appointed by the Diocesan Trusts Board (Standing Committee) and has a responsibility to the Diocese to care for financial investments and to be the legal owner of all property in the diocese.
Education: As a Diocese we have relationships with the educational institutions of Hereworth School, St Matthew’s School, Woodford House and as well as a number of Early Childhood Centres. We also have a long historic relationship with Te Aute and Hukarere.
Chaplaincy: Anglicans are well-renowned in our diocese for providing high quality Chaplaincy services across a wide range of areas including hospitals in partnership with ICHC, Resthomes, the NZ Police, the Order of St John, and some secondary schools in partnership with 24/7.
WASSTB/ ACW: The Waiapu Anglican Social Services Trust Board is appointed by the Diocesan Trusts Board and reports to Synod. The board provides governance for Anglican Care Waiapu which is the social service arm of Waiapu providing a wider range of services across most of the Diocese.
Growing through Grief: Waiapu is well-known for its long-standing role in championing the work of Seasons through Growing through Grief programmes across many parishes in partnership with ACW.
- 15 - Now there are many more activities that we might want to include on this chart including particular groups that play an active part in the life of the diocese. This is not intended as an all inclusive or exhaustive list, but rather as a way to provoke us to consider the many activities that make up our life as a church. One observation that was made of this activity when Standing Committee had an opportunity to explore these ideas was that as a Synod we gather predominantly as representatives of parishes and yet our wide and expanding range of activities move us well beyond the traditional parish. We do indeed represent a diverse range of activities in Waiapu.
The second part of the exercise is to consider the range of skills that are represented throughout the diocese. So, consider this list which will appear in no particular order but will cover a wide range of all we do as a diocese. The purpose of this part of the exercise is to name the many gifts and skills that we often leave unnamed which are gifts for us to use for the glory of God.
Preaching: It may seem obvious, but telling the story of the good news of Jesus Christ and connecting it to the life story of people today is a gift that often helps us connect to a wider community.
Social services: There are many skills involved in providing a social service and across the diocese we have years of wisdom, inspiration and experience to offer the wider community.
Community Leadership: Our people are involved in community leadership in many ways, both clergy and laity alike; some in business, some in sports, others in community support groups, others in emergency services, politics, and education.
Human Resources: Having developed a team for our own needs we have those skills on hand to offer to other not-for-profit groups as well.
Counseling: One of our social service skills is counseling; sometimes provided through ACW and in other settings these skills are offered in a modified way through pastoral care networks in parishes.
Accountancy: We are fortunate to have a high level of financial skills in our Diocesan team, which are already providing a strong service for parishes and some other groups such as the Anglican Schools’ Office, ICHC Hawke’s Bay.
- 16 - Computing Services: IT may be a small team of predominantly one person in the diocese but that team has been enhanced with the support of EIT, Anglican Schools Office and Waikato Diocesan Schools for Girls to deliver high quality IT infrastructure and remote servicing to Anglican Schools in Lambasa, Fiji.
Teaching: We have in the diocese a vast array of educational talent and skill ranging from early childhood to secondary school levels.
Theology: Doing theology, being theological thinkers, and encouraging theological study is an important part of the life of the Anglican Church, and we have those skills spread across the diocese.
Bi-cultural Relationships: Our history, our faith and our life as a church informs and directs our life into bi-cultural relationships in Waiapu. While we continue to work at these relationships we also have experience to share with others in the community to encourage understanding and participation.
Pastoral Care: A staple element of parish life that puts a human face to the message of God’s love and care for us all. The soft skills of pastoral care are recognized as essential for the development of many in caring professions … and we have them in abundance in the church.
Governance: I sometimes lose track of all the board meetings I attend … but it is a reminder of the experience and skill that we have gathered across our many governance arenas. It is something that always needs developing but we have a wealth of opportunities to develop those skills to share with others.
Investment M anagement: The WBDT has gathered a wealth of experience in understanding the intricacies of managing investments on behalf of the diocese and the legalities of doing so.
Social advocacy: The church has had involvement in social advocacy and raising issues of social concern through groups like EJP.
Social Work: We have skills to share in our communities through the social work aspects of social services, the likes of Whanau Aroha and Family Centres.
Again, this is by no means an exhaustive list as there are so many other skills that we could list there as well, but as with the first chart it is an invitation to consider for yourselves how you describe the church; the life of the church; the giftings of the church; and then to consider how we can offer ourselves and our strengths into the community.
My point in offering this exercise in thinking to a few groups in the Diocese, and now the Synod, has been to help us to consider how we conceive of ourselves as a church. In a very practical sense it has also been an instrument in developing a strategy toward changes in our approach to how we offer administrative and financial support to the diocese as a whole.
In recent months I have been working with WASSTB and Standing Committee to develop a cooperative approach to the Finance and Administration team across the Diocese and ACW.
We are currently in the midst of implementing a change so that we will have a united Finance and Admin team in the Diocese who will be delivering services to the Diocese, e.g. Parishes, Standing Committee, Waiapu Board of Diocesan Trustees, but also to Anglican Care Waiapu, and other partners in the community. My hope in doing this is to build on the strengths that we have in the Diocesan office team to continue to deliver a high quality Finance and Admin service to a wider pool of not-for-profit organisations across the Diocese, beginning with Hawke’s Bay. This is but one example of how we can take the gifts and skills that we have and offer them into the community.

Allied to this is a strong desire to develop the relationship between the Diocese and Anglican Care Waiapu. The sale of our resthomes was completed in July this year and acknowledged with a simple service in each of the resthomes. The sale of our resthomes marks a significant change in the dynamics of Anglican Care Waiapu and also in our involvement in Social Services as a Diocese. The capital that has been released due to the sale will provide a new stream of income for WASSTB to deliver into social services and we will hear more about that during the Chairman’s report later in Synod.
In the services held at each resthome to acknowledge the sale and new ownership by Heritage Lifecare I noted the history of Waiapu’s involvement in establishing and developing the resthomes we have owned. The initiative came during Bishop Lesser’s years in the Diocese following on from the end of WWII in an environment where the government of the day was willing to make subsidies available to groups to develop resthomes. The care for the elderly who were no longer able to live independently in their own homes was, at that time, limited to a ward in most hospitals. The resthomes of the 1950’s offered a new and more homely caring approach to the care for elderly and it was predominantly the churches who took up the challenge to deliver this social service.
Releasing the resthomes from our ownership is a significant step in the life of this diocese, one that brings change that for some has been challenging. We have negotiated the provision of Anglican Chaplaincy in all of the resthomes that were sold, which will see an ongoing participation in the spiritual care for elderly people in Waiapu.
At the end of 2016 we farewelled Peter O’Brien as CEO of ACW and in the past month we have welcomed Lucy Laitinen as the new General Manager for ACW. I am looking forward to giving Lucy the opportunity to address this Synod during the report from WASSTB/ACW.
My focus with the relationship between the Diocese and ACW is to ensure that we have clear understanding about roles and responsibilities between us and that we develop a cooperative partnership across the whole of Waiapu for the delivery and support of social services. In parts of the relationship we have become distant and disconnected in recent years and now is the opportunity to remedy those situations.
Discipleship and Leadership The Tikanga Pakeha Ministry Council is a representative group of each diocese which meets twice a year to consider a range of issues related to the development of ministry skills in Tikanga Pakeha. Waiapu is represented by me, the Rev’d Deborah Broome, Ministry Educator, and the Rev’d Adrienne Bruce, Regional Dean in BoP. In recent meetings of TPMC there has been a clearly identified focus on Discipleship and Leadership training for clergy and laity. Each diocese has been working on ways to include these two important themes into their own training and education programmes. I have been very pleased with the way that these themes have been incorporated into our clergy and lay training programmes, and the way in which they have been received. These two themes will continue to appear in training as we develop ourselves and our abilities in both areas in the coming years.
Visiting the Diocese The opportunities I have to spend time in parishes continue to be a highlight of my ministry as Bishop of Waiapu. I enjoy my visits to participate in worship on a Sunday morning. The services I have experienced this year have been lively and reflective of the joy and hope we share in Christ. On many occasions I have been presented with candidates for confirmation and reaffirmation of faith. Just recently in a visit to Te Puke parish I confirmed three people ranging in age from teenage years to two people in their senior years … perhaps in their 80’s if my memory serves me well. I encourage you to promote confirmation and reaffirmation when you plan ahead for my visit to the parish. It is a good opportunity for parishioners to connect in a fresh way with their faith and journey in faith.
- 18 - We will have the opportunity in this Synod to discuss potential changes to the liturgy of confirmation as presented to General Synod last year.
M otion 29 A significant piece of work before us this Synod is to receive and consider the Interim Report of the Motion 29 Working Group. I would hope that by now each of you will have become familiar with the report and the recommendations of the working group through the opportunities we have had to discuss this at Regional Conferences, and a variety of meetings in parishes and regional gatherings, along with your own reading. One of the aims of Motion 29 was to ensure that the report was provided to the church in time for each Synod to be able to discuss it prior to GSTHW 2018, to be held in Taranaki in May next year. Our work on this report today will be led by a sub-committee of Standing Committee who have been delegated the tasks of leading this discussion and preparing a report on behalf of Standing Committee and this Synod, to be handed to a meeting of IDC in November this year. The IDC or Inter-Diocesan Conference is a gathering of representatives from each Pakeha Diocese that normally meets prior to GSTHW. An extra meeting has been arranged to attend to the responses to the Motion 29 report in preparation for GSTHW 2018.
Waiapu as a diocese has developed a strength in its ability to hold conversations about the issues surrounding our understanding of human sexuality in the church with distinct respect, both in speaking and listening. This in itself is a gift, which we must continue to honour and uphold, both as we meet and share today, and as we present our voices into the debate at GSTHW. I encourage you to engage deeply with the discussion later today.
Partnership with the Anglican Church of Papua New Guinea I have recently returned from a relatively short visit to Papua New Guinea where, along with Hugh McBain, I was present at the enthronement service for Archbishop Alan Migi. Archbishop Alan has been the Bishop of New Guinea Islands for many years and was one of our hosts during the pilgrimage in 2015. The visit to PNG this year included a meeting of the partners, the Diocese of Norwich, Missions Boards of Australia and NZ, CMS, and Waiapu including the H&W Williams Trust. It was encouraging to experience a deepening of the relationship between Waiapu and ACPNG during this trip, and also to gain a better understanding of the work of our partners in PNG. Relationships need to be at the centre of this partnership with PNG and in particular our relationship first as members of the Body of Christ. The ACPNG is the poorest of Anglican Churches in Oceania and need our support and commitment as partners. Waiapu is recognized within our province as upholding that relationship and partnership on behalf of the province in a manner similar to the Diocese of Auckland upholding the relationship with the Church of Melanesia.
I think we have some skills and talents that we can offer in support of the mission of the church in PNG and I hope to take a small group with me next year to explore how we can develop the relationship into projects that will be about responding to the needs of ACPNG.
Three years in Waiapu This month marks the end of my third year as Bishop of Waiapu. I continue to enjoy the challenge and delights of this office. I was reminded recently on a visit to the church in Reporoa that a Bishop is always welcome and welcome often, as the story was relayed to me by a parishioner of many years that it was Bishop George who was the last Bishop of this diocese to visit the congregation … some 20 years ago. I certainly hope to visit there again soon and equally would want you to let me know if there are other congregations that haven’t seen a Bishop of this diocese for that many years!
We continue to face some difficult challenges as a Church as we wrestle with the realities of ministry in this day and age. The challenges before us are not insurmountable but do require effort, courage and hope to be able to work through them together. It feels to me as though we are slowly being able to address some issues that have been left to lie unattended for many years, sometimes unknowingly and perhaps at other times with vain optimism that things will be all right in the end.
- 19 - I would rather us identify issues of concern and begin to address them steadily, than to be in a situation where a difficult situation turns into a crisis which requires a more intense response. Synod, Standing Committee, Parish Vestries, Vicars, Wardens, and Governance Boards all have a responsibility to be scanning their environment for areas and issues of concern. What are the risks that are hidden from your view or in plain sight? What actions can you take to mitigate those risks? What are the opportunities that you can see on your horizon that can help improve your situation? We each need to play our part in identifying these things so that they can be addressed clearly and calmly. If we do this steadily we will hopefully avoid living in crisis mode too much.
I have been delighted this year to see the new direction for the Koru Ministry within the diocese. Jocelyn Czerwonka, Koru Ministry Leader, has shifted in her role from DYMF to this new position to help lead us as a diocese in the areas of ministry with children, youth, and families. The review of these ministry areas highlighted the need for change and the development of this new role will assist us in focusing on Messy Church, LT4Youth, Top Parish, SafeHere and other initiatives across the diocese.
The Diocesan Ministry Committee has undertaken a complete review of Lay Licencing across the diocese in response to a survey of all lay licence holders. Changes to the licences are intended to bring our practice in line with requirements for licenced ministry.
We still have a lot to address as a Diocese and it does feel to me as though we are in a season of addressing deferred maintenance and normalizing practices, and that is okay. Bear with me as we make our way through this season and the results of the actions that are taken because they are done for a purpose, not just for the sake of their own.
Three years ago the ministry units of the Ruahine were crying out for help. Today we can celebrate with the parish of Southern Hawkes Bay and their hopes for redeveloping their plant to enliven mission to the local community and in partnership with ACW look to develop a new purpose built facility. We can also celebrate with the parish of Central Hawkes Bay that after two years of intentional transitional ministry with the Rev’d Alister Hendery they are preparing to appoint a new priest to take up the role of Vicar as Alister moves to Hastings, and that they have secured funding for the redevelopment of St Mary’s Church, Waipukurau. In Gisborne we give thanks that after a difficult financial crisis and with the assistance of the Rev’d Stephen Donald as Regional Dean and Priest in Charge of the Parish, that the finances are under control, there is a new relationship with Te Tairawhiti expressed through shared services monthly and that the parish will have Peter Jin as Curate for two years from Advent this year.
There is much to give thanks for across the diocese but equally I acknowledge that there are places where we are struggling. My team and I are working as hard as we can to address the areas of struggle and I hope that with the changes we are implementing across the Diocesan office that we will be in a stronger position to be able to respond to the struggles in the coming year.
Acknowledgements and thanks I would like to conclude my charge today with some acknowledgements and thanks.
I would like to acknowledge the appointment of the Very Rev’d Ian Render as Dean of Waiapu. Ian brings to this role a range of gifts and skills that I’m confident will enhance the ministry of the Cathedral in our Diocese. Ian’s experience in ministry across this Diocese, and in Ministry Education, support of LSM in Northland, gifts with music and pastoral care, and a collaborative approach to ministry will be a strength for the Cathedral parish. Ian, it is good to have you amongst us as Dean.
I would like to offer my thanks to the Rev’d David van Oeveren for the ministry that he has offered as Acting Dean since April 2016. David has redeveloped team ministry within the Cathedral parish and re-established connections with the Covenanted Inner City Churches of Napier.
- 20 - David has also worked with the Vestry of the parish through some difficult issues and used his wider network to bring new skills alongside the Vestry in support of their ministry.
I’d like to acknowledge with thanks the time and effort of all of our Wardens, Vestry Members, Ministry Team Members, and Board Members across the Diocese. The work that you all contribute to the life of the church is essential for upholding the life of parishes within Waiapu. I acknowledge your commitment, time and talents with my thanks.
I’d like to acknowledge my leadership team, Colleen, Adrienne, Stephen, David, Deborah and Ian. Together they have worked tirelessly for the good of this Diocese over the past year. I am blessed to have such a group of people to call on to assist me in my ministry as Bishop. Lucy, I look forward to you joining us as you settle into your role in the Diocese.
Final comments Finally I would like to acknowledge the support that I have received from many people around the diocese. Your prayerful support of me, and my family, is deeply appreciated.
May God be with you all as we meet in this Synod, May God bless your hearts and minds with a vision of love so unencumbered by fear that you can proclaim the gospel with confidence. May God bless you with peace and courage and so inspire your discernment and decisions. And may God the three in one, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, bless you now and ever more. Amen.

INTERFAITH RELATIONSHIPS
Motion: (1) Rev’d Jenny Chalmers (2) Mrs Marion Wilson
That this Synod encourages and supports Parish and Ministry units to form positive, supportive relationships with local Muslim communities, by: a) Contacting local Muslim leaders and discussing shared concerns; b) Inviting the local Muslim community to share in our big celebrations, for example Christmas Carols. c) Being mindful of anti Islamic sentiment and countering it with words and actions.
Rationale:
As anti Muslim feeling in our communities grows in the wake of terrorist attacks overseas, Anglican Parishes are encouraged to form relationships with local Muslim communities. Two such relationships which come to mind are the relationship Gate Pa parish nurtured (in the past) by offering a Muslim community the use of their hall for Friday prayers. Auckland’s Holy Trinity Cathedral (in the past) joined Muslims in their support of Ahmed Zaoui and more recently invited Muslims to break their Ramadan fast with an Iftar meal.
M otion Carried
- 24 - THE DEVELOPM ENT OF A DIOCESAN HOSPITALITY NETWORK
Motion: (1) Rev’d Alex Czerwonka (2) Mrs Carol Gillice
That this Synod call upon the Standing Committee to approve the development of a Diocesan hospitality network that will enable local parishes to generate income through the provision of accommodation and other visitor services aimed at meeting the needs of New Zealand and overseas tourists with an interest in the spiritual, religious and cultural life of our Diocese.
Rationale:
1. In response to the first three marks of mission this proposed motion seeks to enable our Diocese to better proclaim the Good News, teach about our faith and to meet the needs of travelers and visitors by providing affordable hospitality to those in need of accommodation.
2. The proposal recognises the current and continuing growth of tourism in this country (3,599,000 p.a. to April 2017- http://www.mbie.govt.nz/ info-services); and that a significant percentage of overseas tourists are interested in visiting sites of cultural, religious or spiritual importance.
3. The proposal assumes that the provision of this service will enable participating parishes to generate income for charitable or missional purposes.
4. Our Diocese has significant heritage buildings, a rich cultural, historical and spiritual legacy, and active worshipping communities. These are all of significant interest to a proportion of overseas tourists.
5. Some of our parishes have the potential to develop services and facilities to provide hospitality in the form of overnight or longer stay accommodation, visitor advice and referral, involvement in the liturgical and cultural life of their local church and community, meals and refreshments.
6. Some points from the JB Were ‘The New Zealand Cause Report’, about the future of charitable bodies support this proposal:
a.) Charitable bodies need to find new ways of operating: “Although the pace of change in income, expenditure and organisation numbers has been big, the growth in innovation, radical ideas and collaborative partnerships hasn’t yet reached this level. New operating methods and delivery models ...... are all examples of the potential to alter the status quo.”
b.) Use of Capital needs to be unlocked and used despite the risk: “Another source of risk capital can also begin to come from organisations themselves, but only after they either improve margins or redeploy assets, particularly excess property and in some cases endowments and investments.”
c.) Charities need to grow self-earned income: “The reliance on an increasing proportion of funding from Government is hazardous and generally doesn’t help margins and philanthropy is unlikely to grow substantially and is better used for purposes other than scaling up. This means that self-earned income needs to be a growing focus for most organisations.” M otion Carried
- 25 - PROPOSALS REGARDING BAPTISM AND CONFIRM ATION
Motion: (1) Rev’d Deborah Broome (2) Miss Alison Thomson
That Synod receives the report and associated documents from General Synod / te Hinota Whanui 2016 relating to a Recommended Revision of the Liturgy for Baptism and Replacement of the Liturgy for the Laying on of Hands for Confirmation and Renewal;
• invites consideration and discussion of this matter; • invites feedback to be sent to the Diocesan Ministry Committee by 20 October 2017 so that any diocesan response may be presented to the Common Life Liturgical Commission; • notes that the matter will come up for further consideration at GSTHW 2018.
Background:
The nature of Baptism and Confirmation and the relationships between each have been matters for discussion since 2009, in bodies such as the Common Life Liturgical Commission and the House of Bishops. A proposal to GSTHW2016 was referred back to hui amorangi and dioceses for further consideration. Any feedback from those bodies will be presented to the Common Life Liturgical Commission by November 30, and the matter will be on the agenda of GSTHW 2018.
Please refer to the following documents (page 41-88)
Reverend Deborah Broome spoke to the motion. Submissions from Waiapu will be sent back to the General Synod Office by 30th November 2017. M otion Carried
ANGLICAN-M ETHODIST INTERCHANGEABILITY
Motion:- (1) Rev’d Jo Crosse (2) Mr Evan Turbott
That Synod receives the report and associated documents from General Synod / te Hinota Whanui 2016 relating to Anglican-Methodist Interchangeability of Ministries;
• invites consideration and discussion of this matter; • invites feedback to be sent to the Diocesan Ministry Committee by 20 October 2017 so that any diocesan response may be presented to the Common Life Liturgical Commission; • notes that the matter will come up for further consideration at GSTHW 2018.
Background:
The Anglican and Methodist churches in this province have been working together actively for many years and have sought to deepen their relationships with one another. A key landmark was the Anglican-Methodist Covenant of 2008. An ongoing hope of this collaboration was the intention to work on the interchangeability of ordained ministries. A proposal on Anglican-Methodist interchangeability of Ministries was discussed at GSTHW2016 and withdrawn for further consideration and discussion in dioceses. Feedback is sought and welcomed by the Council for Ecumenism before November 30th. The matter will come up for discussion again at GSTHW 2018.

ANGLICAN DIOCESE OF WAIAPU COMMENTARY TO 2018 FINANCIAL YEAR BUDGET
2018 brings changes across the Diocese, with many new projects proposed and addit ional revenue generated to cover these costs, leaving a reasonable surplus enabling us to build reserves once again.
This budget projects a surplus of $208,154, compared to the 2017 budgeted deficit of ($37,016) and our 2016 actuals of ($161,862).
Parish Assessments are scheduled to increase 1 %, (or $5,206 on the 2017 projection) with interest revenue also anticipated to rise by 1%, (an additional $12,378 on 2017 budget) to be near 2016 actuals.
Based on the 2016 actuals we expect GDF income to drop significantly ($67,755) in 2018 as many of these investments are currently in cash which earns a lower return than property.
We also see a full years fu di g fro St Joh ’s for the e i itiat ive seeding of the Community of St Aida ’s. This funding commenced in 2017 but was not included in the budget.
Diocesan Missions Increases in the grants made to both the Hospital Chaplaincies and Waia pu Bishopric Endowment Trust will be implemented in 2018. This additional $25,000 will assist these entities to fulfil their mission.
Training Training is once again a major focus for 2018 and this is well supp orted by funding from St Joh ’s. The Mi istry Edu ators osts re ai i li e ith the 7 udget.
General Diocesan Expenditure $5,000 provision has been made for both Care of Creation and Social Justice per the motion at the 2016 synod. All other costs remain in line with the 2017 budget, apart from additional funding of $2,500 a aila le for the Registrar’s o fere e hi h is due to be held in Australia. We have also increased the provision for the archivist up $4,000 to $10,000, and reflects the actuals in 2016.
Koru Ministry This new mission is also well spo sored y St Joh ’s . There is a provision for a full time Leader and .5 FTE Events Co-Ordinator to support the Leaders role.
Diocesan Administration Centre Administration will receive a huge boost in 2018 with additional revenue for services provided to the WBDT. This is due to their involvement in investing funds on behalf of Anglican Care. This will increase revenue by $450,000. Additional staff have been retained to support the higher work load this generates. Depreciation is now budgeted at 2016 actual

levels, ($21,000 up on 2017 budget) eliminating the variances we saw in 2017. All other costs remain near 2017 budget levels. Overall administration expenses rise by $80,000. This is the first year the administration centre has funded its own operations.
Ministry Support 2018 will continue much in the same vein as 2017 with little mov ement in overall costs. Ministry support charges to parishes will rise slightly but the allocation across parishes needs to be reviewed.
New Ordained Placement Fund It has been announced that Peter Jin will be placed with the Gisb orne Parish for a 2 year curacy. The grant to Parish figure reflects the cost of the Diocese supporting this.

PARISH FINANCES
The Finance Manager has continued reporting directly to Standing Committee and this has been beneficial in increasing the financial literacy and awareness of Standing Committee to the financial issues being faced by parishes. The Finance Manager has designed the reports to Standing Committee particularly in respect of the Parish Acccounts, so that Parishes in financial difficulty come to the attention of Standing Committee as early as possible so they can work with the Registrar and others to provide support to those parishes.
EARTHQUAKE PRONE BUILDINGS
Standing Committee, in conjunction with the Waiapu Board of Diocesan Trustees, have been working through the following projects with parishes:
• The community of St Mary’s Waipukurau have been fundraising furiously to fund the cost of strengthening the church. They are at the point now where they have raised their target and the project will be able to go ahead in the near future. It is hoped they will be able to use the church again by Christmas.
• St John’s Church in Dannevirke is currently undergoing a re-roofing and strengthening project. This should be completed shortly.
• St Augustine’s and St Lukes in Napier South are still working through the process of whether they will be taking on a strengthening project or whether they will continue their worship at St Luke’s only in the future.
PARISH ENVIRONM ENTAL AUDITS
Following on from a motion that was passed at last year’s Synod, each parish has been conducting its own environmental audit and keeping track of their progress through an annual survey which is discussed at their Regional Conference.

Waiapu Board of Diocesan Trustees
Annual Report to Synod - 2017
The primary role of the Board is to act as the investment arm of the Anglican Church in the Diocese of Waiapu. This year it has been ‘business as usual’ for the Board.
The board can report as follows:
• Sale of the commercial building at 309 Avenue Road East, Hastings – the Board sold this building in April and is looking to replace it with a more commercially viable building.
• Welcomed John Palairet to the Board – John joined the Board late last year and has been a welcome addition. John is also the Chairman of the Waiapu Anglican Social Services Board (WASSTB), so is an important link between the two boards.
• Investment of the Anglican Care Waiapu funds – the Board has recently received the money from the sale of the aged care facilities to invest on behalf of WASSTB. The investment process will take some months to complete, and the Board is working closely with WASSTB to ensure the funds are invested appropriately with full transparency, accountability and reporting to the Social Services Board.
• St M atthew’s School – As the Board of Proprietors, the board has engaged independent experts to help them conduct a review of the school, and is currently waiting for a Special Character review to be completed, which is due next month.
The Board has declared the following rates of interest for payments on deposits made with the Board for the year ending 31 March 2017:

Waiapu Bishopric Endowment Trust
Annual Report to Synod - 2017
The aim of this trust is to support the activity of the Bishop of Waiapu.
This has been a very active year for Bishop Andrew, endeavouring to travel to all parts of the Diocese, as well as strengthening Diocesan relationships with Papau New Guinea. This activity has had a financial impact on the Bishopric Endowment Trust, with expenditure being up on last year.
The Trusts equity as at the balance date of 31 March 2017 was $1.18 million compared to $1.86 in the previous year. The extra expenditure coupled with reduced income from investment has contributed to the reduction in equity.
Overall the Bishopric Endowments Trust’s financial situation is stable; however the Trust will need increasing financial support from the Diocese in years to come to sustain this activity. The Trustees will also seek other avenues of fundraising to increase the equity of the Trust.

Anglican Care Waiapu - 2017
This year has been completely dominated by the sale of the Residential Care homes and villages to Heritage Life Care.
The sale process which started before last years Synod concluded with consultation with village residents, care facility residents, families and staff. The board, having reviewed the consultation responses, .resolved in October 2016 to proceed with the sale.
The process was all consuming for management and board and with the unforeseen delay in settlement placing additional pressure on a depleted management team. The board is very grateful to Jo Morris and her team for the extremely competent handling of the myriad of issues which had to be dealt with to achieve a smooth handover.
The funds from the sale have been invested through the Waiapu Board of Diocesan Trustees.
The Board and Management now have the opportunity to focus exclusively on the delivery of social services in the Diocese. The initial focus will be on existing services and whether they are appropriately resourced.
The intention will be to consider other opportunities where there is an identified need to expand the social services, although this process will take some time .
Some important steps have been taken, including the recent appointment of a new General Manager - Lucy Laitinen, who will commence in August. There will be an opportunity to meet Lucy at Synod.
Additionally the Board has been considering a new structure proposed by Bishop Andrew which will mean closer integration between the Diocese and Anglican Care Waiapu. We support Bishop Andrew’s vision of a much closer relationship with the Waiapu Diocesan community.
The future for Anglican Care, with an increased ability to address areas of need throughout the Diocese, is an exciting one .

Children, Youth & Families Committee – 2017
The ministry offered to and with children, young people and their families in the Diocese has continued to report to a smaller committee over the past year. There have been three key areas of focus – Youth, Children & Families and SafeHere. The following is a summary of the ministry of the last year including recent changes to this ministry.
Diocesan-wide survey of Children, Youth & Families M inistry:
In November 2016 it was decided that a reassessment of this ministry throughout the Diocese needed to be undertaken. Jocelyn Czerwonka, in her role as Diocesan Youth Ministry Facilitator put in a sterling effort to conduct a survey, visiting every ministry unit in Waiapu, to seek information on their ministry to children, youth and families. The survey confirmed that most parishes are struggling in this area and the most commonly voiced barrier to this was aging congregations and lack of energy. The one area that shone out as ‘life-giving’ was Messy Church which is beginning to grow new congregations where this is operating.
This survey has resulted in a restructuring of this area of the life of the Diocese. In July 2017 both the Diocesan Youth Ministry Facilitator role and the Regional Youth Ministry Facilitator roles were disestablished and a new ministry born. Both Jocelyn Czerwonka and Sandi Hall were formally thanked for their ministry as this era of youth ministry was drawn to a close.
Jocelyn Czerwonka has been appointed as the Waiapu Koru Ministry Leader for this new ministry which will focus largely on Messy Church and LT4Youth. This role will also oversee the training and facilitation of SafeHere as our diocesan commitment to provide care when working with children and vulnerable people. Jocelyn will report to the Diocesan Ministry Educator, highlighting the educational and mentoring core of this new role.
For events such as Top Parish an events co-ordinator will be contracted to bear the bulk of the organisation required for this other important aspect of our diocesan life.
Hawkes Bay Region:
Sandi Hall has been the Regional Youth Ministry Facilitator in Hawkes Bay for the last seven years as well working for a short period in Eastland. We thank Sandi for her commitment to youth ministry over these years.
In the last year Sandi has been instrumental in encouraging another 5 young people to engage with LT4Youth and has helped resource mentors to support them. She has also been involved with Hard Hats at St Matthew’s School until the end of 2016 and been very much part of the Waiapu Youth Team and involved in the running of Top Parish, camps and other youth activities.
Leadership Training for Youth - LT4Youth:
A presentation of LT4Youth Awards was held at St Luke’s Rotorua on Saturday 26 November. Bishop Andrew presented Teriaki Williams, Emma Handley and Tessa Guest with Bishop of Waiapu awards after completing 2 years of LT4Youth. Sandra Dondi received her 1st year certificate.
There was also a special prayer and blessing for Teriaki and Emma as they prepared to leave for Fiji to attend the Three Tikanga Youth Exchange from 28 November – 5 December.
New LT4Youth members in both Hawkes Bay and Bay of Plenty have enrolled this year.
LT4Youth Big Day Out was held.
There has been interest in LT4Youth from other Dioceses. Jocelyn was invited to give a presentation on LT4Youth to a group of Waikato Youth Leaders.
- 49 - A15
A meeting is planned for July with Jocelyn and the National Youth Advisor Phil Trotter and other Diocesan Youth staff to look at updating the LT4Youth manual in preparation for offering LT4Youth as a resource in other Diocese’s throughout NZ. The committee has asked that Jocelyn’s intellectual property in devising this entire programme be acknowledged.
Top Parish M arch 2017 Keswick, Rotorua:
Our theme ‘What Would Jesus Do?’ (WWJD) provided a lot of variety for thoughtful games and activities and worship over another successful Top Parish weekend. Te Aute student, Leyton Waugh was Bishop for the Day. Once again it was a joy to share the weekend with Te Tairawhiti and Te Manawa Te Wheke. Close to 150 people attended.
M essy Church:
Messy Church has been identified as a new emerging ministry in Waiapu that is effective, energising and life-giving. It is currently operating in 9 parishes and one school. Ongoing support and training will continue to develop under the oversight of the Koru Ministry Leader role.
A successful Waiapu Messy Church Resourcing Day held in Taradale with 45 people attending including some from Te Tairawhiti and Te Manawa O Te Wheke. National Messy Church Advisor Debbie Smith and Carrolle Lewis from Kapiti were guest speakers. A similar training was hosted by Holy Trinity Tauranga in July.
Messy Church Cluster Groups have been set up in the Bay of Plenty and Hawkes Bay to offer support, training, resource sharing and opportunity to share and review what is happening.
Advent Workshops:
Diana Langdon visited Waiapu in October and presented Advent workshops in all 3 regions. Diana is the StraNdZ National Children and Families Enabler. The workshops were well attended and the ideas and resources were much appreciated as we prepared for Advent.
Three Tikanga Youth Exchange Fiji:
Opotiki LT4Youth members Emma Handley and Teriaki Williams attended the Three Tikanga Youth Exchange in February for 1 week from 28 November-5 December.
SafeHere:
Sandie Speeden resigned from her position as SafeHere Co-ordinator in April, and was farewelled and thanked for all she has contributed to Waiapu in this role. Sandie has led many SafeHere Trainings around Waiapu and been a valuable resource person to us all as we work towards keeping everyone safe in our ministries with Children, Youth and Families and events such as Top Parish. SafeHere will continue as part of the Koru Ministry Leader role and with administration assistance from the Diocesan Office.
To everyone who has encouraged ministry amongst our children, youth and families in our local communities we want to say thank you, and encourage you to continue with this significant area of ministry, using Jocelyn in her new role to resource your parishes in building new dynamic congregations for all ages.

M inistry Educator Report - 2017
Clergy and lay training Clergy and lay training are key priorities. In addition to three clergy training circuits each year I organised the 2016 Clergy Conference ‘Leadership in Uncertain Times’ held in Taupo. This year has seen the reintroduction of regional lay training opportunities, open to all lay people. This is in addition to seminars and other training opportunities provided in several parishes, particularly around the liturgical ministries. I love the chance to visit parishes to preside, preach, or speak to a local group. I have introduced a newsletter as a means of keeping in touch with people and parishes throughout the diocese.
Discernment Process We have completed one cycle of the new Discernment Process, which Waiapu runs in common with the dioceses of Auckland and Waikato-Taranaki. As part of this, people were invited to become Bishop’s Ministry Advisers, and Spiritual Companions supporting candidates. Two psychologists (in Hawkes Bay and the Bay of Plenty) have a role in interviewing candidates. The process culminated in the residential discernment event held at Vaughan Park in Auckland, to which Waiapu took seven candidates and four Bishop’s Ministry Advisers. One of those candidates will be ordained in November, together with one of our St John’s College students. Three other people are now candidates in training for ordination, two within the diocese and one for whom a residential scholarship to St John’s College is being sought.
Anglican Studies Programme 2017 has seen an increased group of students studying for the Diploma of Christian Studies (an NZQA–registered qualification) through the Anglican Studies Programme. This allows us to provide theological education for lay people, for the recently ordained, and for ordination candidates in training. I continue to offer regular tutorials in Hawkes Bay (where most of the students are located) to supplement the residential weekends which are usually held around the Taupo area.
Diocesan Library The Diocesan Library continues to expand and to be well-used by people in parishes and especially by Anglican Studies students. One parish (Te Puke) has, for the second year running, requested an assortment of books which people can read during Lent as an alternative to Lenten studies. Other parishes may wish to consider this as an option. I am always happy to take requests and send books to people, and I am grateful to those who have donated books to the library.
Diocesan M inistry Committee The Committee was re-established in 2016 and has met regularly since then. It develops policy and processes relating to Ministry Education in the diocese, and keeps Standing Committee informed. Particular areas of work have been a review of the lay licencing system (including a survey of licenced lay ministers) and clergy reviews.

Overseas M ission Report 2017
M ission Giving
The target of $195,000 for 2016 agreed to at Synod 2015 was met 99% which was a great result. At Synod 2016 it was decided that the target should remain at $195,000 for 2017 and latest reports show that we are currently running at over 100% of target so far this year. Once again this is an outstanding result achieved through the generosity of all parishes involved. Thanks are due to the people in the parishes who make this happen.
Waiapu Anglican World M ission Council
Council members are as follows: Bishop Andrew Hedge, Rev’d Bryan Carey, Rev’d Rosemary Carey, Rev’d Stephen Donald, Mrs Meg Dawson, Mr Neil Eagles, Dr Paul Hendy, Mr Hugh McBain, Mrs Diane Sorenson, Mrs Shelley Vette and Mr Peter Williamson.
Tikanga Pakeha M issions Council
Hugh McBain and Shelley Vette (AAW Representative) have attended the video conferences and face to face meetings of the Council which keeps us up to date with what AMB and the other New Zealand Dioceses are doing with regard to Overseas Mission.
Anglican Church of Papua New Guinea
Financial support for ACPNG has continued through the Henry and William Williams Memorial Trust (a private Trust based in the Diocese). The appointment of Margaret Poynton as Executive Assistant to the Archbishop of ACPNG has been most helpful to overseas supporters. Bishop Andrew hopes to lead a small team that would offer training assistance at Newton Theological College by making visits on a regular basis, possibly every two years.
Diocese of Polynesia
Land issues concerning the Waiapu project at Vunivau Basoga are still not resolved. This situation has now reached a stage where there need to be discussions with Archbishop Winston with regard to looking at an alternative project.
Anderson Trust
Income from this Trust has supported the nursing school at Murgwanza Hospital, Diocese of Kagera, Tanzania since 2008. Funds can only be used for medical mission. No obvious projects were apparent on the Pilgrimage to ACPNG. Some thought is being given to the possibility of widening the terms of the Anderson Trust.

Waiapu Diocesan Archives - 2017
After a highly frustrating year, during most of which our archives were in storage while the room was being asbestos proofed, we can report that we are back in action with a much improved layout and working area. Thanks to Jillian King, and to the young men who did the very heavy lifting involved.
Despite all this, Jillian has had a busy time answering requests, notably from parishes and services undergoing restructuring, as well as replying to usual individual requests for information, and maintaining office filing.
We underline the importance of all ministry units, church groups, and individual clergy maintaining good records at all times. As soon as such records are no longer needed for active ministry please contact the Diocesan Archives through the Diocesan Offices so that we can ensure they are in safe keeping.

The Association of Anglican Women
Grow in Discipleship, Dreams and Dedication
There have been a number of wonderful AAW members who have passed away in 2016 and I want to acknowledge their tireless work for their groups and for the wider AAW. You will all know someone and remember with love their wonderful gifts from God that they shared with your groups. May they rest in peace and rise in glory.
As I write my 4th report I want to think about all that has happened over those four years and all the wonderful women that I have met on my journey. I have visited most groups in that time and been part of saying goodbye to a Bishop and welcoming another – of installations and of parish events – and of working with youth at Top Parish.
This year Taradale were unable to get a group together and we are very sorry to see them give up, but some of the members are part of the Cathedral group. I believe that as our members get older that fellowship, sharing and community are very important.
At the Provincial level there has been a lot of work done by all the Presidents about where to for AAW. The Wellington President has presented a couple of workshops and it is hoped that the next three years will see changes.
Money has been raised nationally for water tanks in Tonga and over $15,000 was raised with over $3,000 from Waiapu.
Life in Waiapu is busy and the wonderful AAW ladies are always busy. When I read the end of year reports I am always amazed at what is achieved – what ideas there are for meetings and AAW Sunday’s.
As members are getting older and have, over the years, contributed greatly to AAW, there is a lack of people willing to take on some of the Executive positions. I have enjoyed my time as President very much and my prayer is that AAW Waiapu will have many great years ahead.
At the AGM the Waiapu Diocese was put in recess with a meeting planned on 2nd September with Bishop Andrew. Members are to spend these months looking at how to go forward.
Thank you to all who have contributed to their groups, their parishes, their communities and the Diocese.
God Bless Elaine Wood Waiapu Past President

Hereworth School Trust Board Chairman’s Report - 2017
The culture within the School remains positive and healthy with busy and contented boys being provided with an outstanding, holistic education. The ethos of the School is to nurture the boys’ development in intellectual, spiritual, physical and social pursuits. The values of the School remain Christ-centred with care for, and responsibility to each other, establishing a sustaining culture. The behaviour and dynamic of the boys are often remarked upon as being second to none.
Roll Currently, enrolments are 210 boys with 42 boarders. This enrolment presents a consistent level and we are focused on raising this to higher levels over time.
Staff For the beginning of 2017, the Board supported the Headmaster with an additional Deputy Headmaster as a trial with the objective to allow the strategic initiatives to be owned and developed by a wider Executive team. The recently appointed new members of staff have enjoyed the immediate appreciation of their skills and talents by the boys and parents. The staff is our main asset and it is comforting for the Board to see such good morale and collegial support.
Strategic Plan The Strategic Plan for 2017-2021 was completed and a public meeting held to discuss its content. It has been well received and it certainly provides a focus for the Headmaster, the staff and the Board. The major Strategic imperatives are: Creating a new learning framework; creating a deeper connection with the community; developing and nurturing staff; and adding new revenue streams to the School.
As part of the Plan, the School Board commissioned two Reviews, namely one for School Sport and the other for School Dining. Both areas are important to our community and the findings will provide additional focus. A Master Plan has also been written which will allow us to plan for our built environment needs over the next few years.
The sense of community is strong and the contribution by the parents to the broader life of Hereworth, financially and otherwise through the Parents’ Association and Old Boys’ Association is another aspect of the School for which the School is grateful.
Governance At the end of 2016, Mr David Todd stood down as Chairman of the Hereworth School Trust Board after serving for seven years on the Board and two as Chairman.
Mr Rob Hansen departed the Board at the end of 2016 as a Parent Representative. During the year Mr Cam McLeay, Jonathan Hensman, Michael Bate and Sarah Park joined the Board.

The M ission to Seafarers Report - 2017
The Hawkes Bay Seafarers Welfare Society, which operates a centre near the entrance to the Port of Napier, is an inter-demonational venture supported by The Mission to Seafarers (Anglican), Apostleship of the Sea (Roman Catholic) and the Sailors’ Society (with no denominational connections). The centre is manned by a team of volunteers from various congregations.
Background “Founded in 1856, today’s Mission to Seafarers offers emergency assistance, practical support, and a friendly welcome to crews in 260 ports around the world. Whether caring for victims of piracy or providing a lifeline to those abandoned in foreign ports, we are there for the globe’s 1.5 million merchant seafarers of all ranks, nationalities and beliefs.”
Reverend Richard Spence It is appropriate, before reporting on the year’s activities, to acknowledge the contribution of the late Richard Spence to the society. Richard served more than ten years on the committee, many of those also as a ship visitor – initially accompanying other visitors and then as the appointed visitor.
Centre Visitors From July 2014 to June 2015 there were 3,198 visitors to the centre From July 2015 to June 2016 there were 1,921 visitors From July 2016 to June 2017 there were 1,585 visitors These figures reflect the changing face of shipping – larger ships with fewer crew, shorter stays in port, and less opportunity for shore leave.
Ship Visits Richard Spence visited 107 ships in the 2015/16 year. Because of his passing last year, his visits for 2016/17 are not available. From the time that his health prevented him from visiting, no visits have been undertaken as there has been no-one available to take on the role.
Other work Through the Rotary Club of Ahuriri Sunrise, Richard had previously organised Christmas parcels for seafarers on ships in port on that day. In honour of Richard’s service to the club, the club has continued to provide parcels – in association with Gail Spence.
New Chaplain The Reverend Noel Hendery has taken Richard’s place as the centre’s chaplain.
This report has been prepared by Keith James, secretary of the society.

M ission to Seafarers - Port of Tauranga - 2017
Mission to Seafarers at the port of Tauranga has a unique combination with Apostleship of the Sea (RC), and Galilee Mission (Evangelical), to form the ‘United Seafarers Mission’. I am currently in my last year of 3 year term as Chair of the ‘USM’ Board. We have 70+ volunteers who engage in hospitality, transport, pastoral care, and ship visiting 7 days a week.
Total seafarers in the Port of Tauranga for the last 12 months = 14,760 - Total Ships = 1,596
The following are our statistics for 1 month (June 2017) – as an example of the extent and significance of our ministry:
Seafarers Number hosted at Mission Centre = 1295 Average time spent at Mission Centre = 170mins
Minibus Number of Trips = 265 Number of Passengers = 796
Distance Covered = 3,240kms Mobile Phones Phone Topups sold = 303
Phone Vouchers sold = 21 Ship Visiting = 45
Currency Exchange Foreign Currency Purchases = 455
Rev’d Adrienne Bruce facilitated a Strategic Planning Day for us and the following Strategic plan has been achieved: 1. Endeavour to visit as many vessels as possible. 2. Deliberately engage with Port Management 3. Ensure a secure Financial position 4. Refurbish the Mission (on its way)
We are blessed to have two new Chaplains join us; Deacon John Limrick, who will replace Deacon Sid as AOS chaplain, and Rev’d Matthew Best who will become principle Chaplain for MTS, and I will be his assistant. These appointments will enhance our ship visiting greatly, and they (along with Pastor Danny Smart) will be first ‘Port of Call’ by Victim Support to respond to critical incidents on the Port.
A challenge regarding a proposed relocation for USM, has been a positive challenge and a catalyst to achieving strategy 2 of our strategic plan. As a result we have raised our profile, and connected with key people. This has been enhanced by sharing our excellent newsletter with accurate statistics, with port officials, and regular attendance at H & S and Agent’s meeting, by Management and Chaplains. This has enabled a significant improvement in net working.
Financial support from the local parishes is appreciated, but disappointing in terms of volunteers and local committee representatives. We would greatly appreciate more opportunities to speak to immediate ‘local’ parishes about this special and significant Mission outreach.
We are making history this year by combining the National bodies of AOS and MTS, for our National Conference. A fine example of true Ecumenical Spirit, bringing Christ’s love to National and International Seafarers.

Waiapu Anglican Cursillo - 2017
Anglican Cursillo belongs to a world-wide movement to nourish and deepen our Christian spirituality. A lay-led organisation, Cursillo grows Christ-centred leaders. As twenty-first century Christians, we are to walk closely with Christ, be Christ’s disciples, and do Christ’s work in the world in the everyday parts of our lives.
When gifted in 2011 by Wellington Diocese, Bishop David Rice appointed a three-person Cursillo Secretariat supported by a five-person Servant Community to spear-head the growth of Cursillo in the Diocese of Waiapu. Gail Spence was commissioned as Diocesan Lay Director, Rev’d Dr Richard Spence as the Diocesan Spiritual Director and Mary Dunn as Registrar/Treasurer/Secretary, for a three-year term that rolled over into a second three-year term, which is the maximum time to serve on the Cursillo Secretariat. We praise God for the wonderful job this original Secretariat team have done in pioneering Cursillo in Waiapu, and for the many people who have experienced the joy and growth offered by Cursillo because of the vision and passion of that original group.
The changeover in leadership of Cursillo started with the death of Rev’d Dr Richard Spence in September 2016. The Rev’d Mary Rowlands stepped into an acting role. Gail Spence finished her 6-year term in November 2016 and I was elected to take over. Rev’d Mary and I were commissioned into our roles of Diocesan Spiritual Director and Diocesan Lay Director on 14th March 2017 by Bishop Andrew Hedge at a service held at All Saint’s Taradale.
For the next 3 years Waiapu Anglican Cursillo will be steered by an eight-person Secretariat, reporting bi-annually to the New Zealand Anglican Cursillo Council, our enabling body serving five dioceses: Wellington, Waikato-Taranaki, Waiapu, Christchurch & Dunedin, with +Victoria Matthews as episcopal overseer.
2017/18 - An enthusiastic team of Cursillistas led by Lay Director Janine Melville are training to run a Three Day Cursillo, a short course in Christian living for both men and women on 7-10 September 2017 at Riverbend Christian Camp, Havelock North. Another Three Day Cursillo, led by Betty Atkinson is planned for October 4 – 7, 2018 in Papamoa, Bay of Plenty.
Opportunities to gather as a Christian community after the Three Day Cursillo are small ‘group reunions’ which meet regularly, providing mutual support and spiritual accountability. These small groups gather twice a year at combined events. Cursillistas and those curious about Cursillo are welcome to enjoy a day of worship, song, testimony & fellowship: These will be held 12 August 2017 (Hawkes Bay); 6 April 2018 (Hawkes Bay); 25 August 2018 (BOP).
Cursillo equips Christians to face the challenge of what it means to be disciples in a world that today is often opposed to Christianity and its message, Know God, Grow in God, Go in God

NZ Police Chaplaincy - 2017
Time marches on and this is my 17th year as Chaplain for the Bay of Plenty Police District with responsibility for stations in Tauranga, Te Puke, Papamoa, Katikati and District Headquarters in Rotorua.
This year I have been formally appointed as National Co-ordinating Chaplain working out of Police National Headquarters in Wellington. I remain chair of the NZ Police Chaplains’ Advisory Council.
In Waiapu we have 3 Anglican chaplains and in the whole of New Zealand we have 14. Of these 2 are from Tikanga Maori. T here are currently 6 vacancies throughout the country and I am working hard to fill these whilst there is still provision in the budget!
This year, all police chaplains have been individually assessed by the relevant District/Area Commanders and the results have been exceptionally pleasing to receive.
Restructuring has continued with the changes that this brings to personnel and the unsettling effect on staff. There also seems to have been a lot of serious sickness and unpleasant diagnoses to cope with. Added to this have been injuries sustained in the course of duty – some serious. Chaplains are relied on more and more in such circumstances and it is rewarding to be involved.
Added to all this, the usual ministry of pastoral care, baptisms, weddings and funerals continues, as do the annual Civic Services on Anzac Day, Police Remberance Services and other formal police events.
Even after all this time, I am still aware of the trust and confidence awarded to NZP Chaplains as they minister around the country. It is a very humbling experience and one for which I am truly grateful.
NZFS Chaplaincy
In December 2016 I was approached by the Fire Service (Region 2) and asked to return as a chaplain. I went back and have been totally overwhelmed by the welcome I received. My return has been timely as NZFS moved to become NZFES and we dealt with some local, national and overseas disasters. The fire at Grenfell Towers was not without a vicarious effect here in NZ. Neither are NZFES personnel immune to unexpected and serious sickness and the effect that these have on a person’s future career.
I have been pleased to be ministering here again and will be interested to see what effect the inclusion of Rural Fire into the regular NZEFS will have on my work!

Tauranga Hospital Chaplaincy Service - 2017
It is my pleasure to present my fourth report to Synod on the Tauranga Hospital Chaplaincy Service. It has been another year of significant change, both for the team and in the external context. Tauranga Hospital Chaplaincy continues to be in good shape, and we are fortunate to have the strong support of Bay of Plenty DHB, the hospital staff and the local churches.
We have three chaplains: two full-time ecumenical chaplains, me and Shelley Gilmore, and a part-time Roman Catholic chaplain, Leanne Brooks. Shelley is halfway through her second year here and is a highly skilled and valued colleague. We also have a lot of volunteer support from Voluntary Chaplaincy Assistants (VCAs), Roman Catholic parish visitors and from the various local churches that take turns to help bring patients to the Sunday Communion service.
Last year we trained eight new VCAs and they were commissioned at a special service after their first year in the role, bringing the numbers up to fourteen. We are about to start a training course for a new cohort of six. They make a big commitment; the training course is over fourteen weeks, after which they will visit their allocated wards for two hours weekly. They in turn will be commissioned at the end of their first year.
We continue to enjoy the unflagging support of our Local Support Group which maintains an nominal oversight and support role. John Binns continues in the chair.
The Inter Church Council for Hospital Chaplaincy (ICHC), based in Wellington administers and manages hospital chaplaincy on behalf of the member churches in a contractual relationship with the Ministry of Health, and is the employing body for ecumenical chaplains. After several uncertain years ICHC has a new National Manager, Tim Pratt, who took up his post in June. We wish him well.
Sadly we have said farewell to two of our longest serving VCAs/locums, Pastor Paulo Leaso and Pastor Dave Sales. Dave retired at Christmas on health grounds, and Paulo died this month. We are sorry to lose them from the team.
We are happy to receive referrals from parish teams for parishioners in hospital, meet with any church visitors/ministers when visiting in the hospital, and to speak or preach locally to spread the word about Hospital Chaplaincy.
We can be contacted through the hospital (07) 579 8000 or direct dial (07) 579 8295/8735.

Gisborne Hospital Chaplaincy Report - 2017
Support for Hospital Chaplaincy Our chaplaincy services is an integral part of the hospital healthcare team and over the years the Anglican Church through the Diocese of Waiapu and Te Hui Amorangi o Te Tairawhiti have contributed significantly to the spiritual, pastoral, and cultural healthcare needs at Gisborne Hospital. There have been Anglican chaplains, locum and on-call chaplains, voluntary chaplaincy assistants, committee members on the Local Chaplaincy Support Group (LSP) and financial donations.
As the face of the church at work in the field of spiritual healthcare provision, chaplaincy is vitally dependent upon the ongoing commitment of the church to ensure that this essential healthcare service in our hospitals continues through prayer support, ongoing financial donations and support from church members passionate about chaplaincy.
Advance Care Planning (ACP) Advance Care Planning is increasingly being spoken of and promoted in Healthcare Groups, Church groups and through Chaplaincy. Advance Care Planning is - • The process of thinking about, talking about and planning for future health care and end of life care with your family/whanau. For example, ‘advance funeral planning conversations’ can make a difficult time a celebration of life and help families/whanau immensely, through their journey of grief. • There is a booklet ‘My Advance Care Plan’ to fill out and many free ACP resources available at http://www.advancecareplanning.org.nz.
Tairawhiti Healthcare Chaplaincy Committee, the Local Support Provider (LSP) After managing chaplaincy finances and business locally, regionally and nationally for many years, the Tairawhiti Chaplaincy Committee LSP opted in 2016 to centralize Tairawhiti chaplaincy finances with the Interchurch Council for Hospital Chaplaincy (ICHC), Wellington. Grateful thanks to all members of the Waiapu Diocese who cared for chaplaincy finances and business on this committee over the years. In June 2017, the LSP ceased its function.
Locum Chaplain Increasing difficulty for on-call chaplains to provide voluntary pager cover when the chaplain had days off or on leave was eased enormously through the generous support for chaplaincy from the JN Williams Memorial Trust, resulting in a locum chaplain beginning duties in November 2016.
Furthermore, the continued financial and prayer support from the Diocese of Waiapu to the Chaplaincy Services at Gisborne Hospital, Hauora Tairawhiti has always been greatly appreciated - Bishop Andrew Hedge and members of the Diocese of Waiapu, on behalf of the Chaplaincy Services, Gisborne Hospital - thank you.

Hawkes Bay Fallen Soldiers’ M emorial Hospital Chaplaincy Service - 2017
Change- the shifting of life from one stable context to another- envelops us Joan Chittister
Nothings seems fixed any more and as we journey with patients, families and staff this is increasingly evident.
Over the last year we have seen many changes within the ministry of Hospital Chaplaincy in New Zealand. The CEO of the Interchurch Council Hospital Chaplaincy (ICHC) our National Leader in Wellington has resigned, a new Chair of the Board of Trustees of ICHC has been appointed, and recently a new National Manager has been appointed. A number of senior hospital chaplains have retired and a number have resigned. It has been a tough year, and our prayer is that with a new leader on board, a new vision for this vital ministry will begin to unfold.
Our Hawkes Bay Hospital Chaplaincy team continues to provide the amazing service which we quietly provide to all who come through the doors of the hospital during the day and in the middle of the night. We continue to provide a 24 hours seven day a week service, which at times has placed a huge strain on our very small but dedicated team.
Our ministry continues to grow and we have been asked by some of our long-term patients and their families to continue to support them in the community when they have entered the palliative care stage of their life. This is indeed a huge privilege as the relationship which we have built up, often over many years, continues in those often hard, and yet special, last weeks or days. Our ministry and support of staff continues to grow and they are aware that we are available to support them at any time, as we are for their patients.
Hospital Chaplaincy Team To complement the chaplains are seven ecumenical Voluntary chaplaincy Assistants, all giving freely of their time. We are grateful to Rev’d Margaret Hall, our locum and our voluntary administrator. Much of her work is unseen but her devotion to be of service is very much appreciated, especially by us.
This year, thanks to some funding from the Higgins Trust, the ecumenical chaplains have been able to run a Volunteer Chaplaincy Assistants training program. The training of these people continues. This is intensive for both students and us, but necessary to maintain a professional standard of ministry within the hospital. This course will be completed in the latter half of the year.
Pam Torbett Trust We are very grateful to the Pam Torbett Trust, who in partnership with the hospital chaplaincy team, are able to provide pastoral and spiritual care for patients and their families coming from the Wairoa region to Hawke’s Bay Hospital for medical care. This has helped many people in a variety of ways. Many of the recipients have been moved to tears when we have been able to help them in some small way.

Local Support Hospital Chaplaincy Committee Our local support committee continues to provide support and guidance, as together we have journeyed through what has been a tough year, including all the changes in the national office. We would like to thank all the members of this committee for the support they give us. Over the last year Colleen Kaye has been our Chairperson, supported by Tracey O’Shaughnessy the Treasurer. Sheryll Petrie is the HBDHB rep on the committee. These folks work alongside the other members of the committee and us.
Hawkes Bay Hospital We have a new HBDHB liaison manager, Rebecca Mackenzie, who manages the Patient Support Unit at the hospital and the chaplaincy service is part of her team. We are grateful to Rebecca for the support she and the Hawkes Bay District Health Board provide our service. The partnership continues to strengthen and Colleen and Barbara were invited to share a presentation to the HBDHB Board in March. This was extremely well received and has resulted in increased support.
Waiapu Diocese We are very grateful to Bishop Andrew and the ongoing support he and other Bishops have given the Anglican Hospital Chaplains over the last 18 months. We are certainly hopeful that with the new ICHC National Manager on board, some of the issues pertaining to the Anglican Hospital Chaplains will be addressed in the coming months.
We continue to be thankful for the support we received from all the Anglican Parishes in Hawkes Bay in a variety of ways and a big thank you to the staff and pupils of Woodford House, and Hukarere College who continue to help bring patients from the wards to our Sunday Chapel services.
In a time of uncertainty in our world, in our country and in our communities, it is comforting to know that Christ is here beside us all, guiding and encouraging us in the ministries He has called us to.
Please join us in prayer and let us know how you could help us. May God Bless you all.
Rev’d Barbara Walker QSO and Rev’d Pelly Pirikahu.

Rotorua Hospital Chaplaincy Report - 2017
The Chaplaincy Team at Rotorua Hospital has made 20,601 visits in the last 12 months, including contacts with patients, family and staff.
We currently have 12 volunteers, and two trainees, who are currently being mentored on the Wards with members from our volunteer team who have been here for quite some time.
We have had two team members needing to retire for health reasons, and another one has decided that it is time to spend more quality time with her family. This is a relatively uncommon occurrence for our team, which is why we are going to be starting another training programme in July. We have two ladies already who are prepared to do the training, with more people prayerfully considering. This will build up our team again.
Apart from that we have a number of volunteers who have been with us for some considerable time. There is a wonderful spirit of community amongst the team, which is evident when we meet once a month for our team meetings, which consists of lunch and on- going professional development. Team Members are encouraged to attend Regional Chaplaincy Meetings and, as a team, we hold an overnight annual retreat. This year we are attempting a two night retreat, because feed back in the past has always indicated that this is what the team want. Last year, we went to the Wairakei Resort, a lovely venue. The spiritual direction and the physical location offers physical and spiritual refreshment to our team, and is a way of saying thank you to them.
We have one team member who is currently doing a Diploma in Christian Ministries (internship) Chaplaincy, at Rotorua Hospital under my supervision.
We continue to hold a service in the Chapel every Sunday, which has been greatly supported by the local churches, who assist with collecting patients, sitting with them, and taking them back to their rooms after the service. We also provide bed side communions and sacramental services as required.
Last Christmas the Chaplaincy Department, together with Hospital staff, enjoyed an evening of caroling with patients, and handing out of teddy bears. We also initiated the Ward Decorating Competition, which promotes a friendly rivalry around the staff of the hospital. Both of these are annual events.
I would like to once again express my appreciation to the Diocese of Waiapu for their continued support of Chaplaincy which enables us to minister to the people in our Community.
Yours sincerely
Rev Ray Bloomfield, QSM JP AHCC Chaplain

Whakatane Hospital Chaplain’s Report - 2017
Tena koutou katoa / Warm greetings to you All.
They say the older we get the faster time passes, well I can confirm that theory, as I prepare to write my annual report - I am amazed that we are already halfway through 2017. Yet again it has been an interesting year and remains an honour and privilege to be our hospital Chaplain here in Whakatane.
Sadly, there has been a noticeable increase in deaths within the hospital and the surrounding communities over the past 6 months. Gratefully, I am blessed to be surrounded with wonderful support people on staff and I have on my team a Ringatu Minister Ponty Hauwaho, Fr Peter Lander, Annette Houltham and 5 ministers on the roster to cover when I am off duty, plus an amazing supportive team on our LSP committee.
Due to my health I am now only on duty 3 days & nights per week. Peter Lander now covers the other 2 days.
ICHC: Gloria Penman informed us of the new appointment of Rev Tim Pratt to the role of National Manager for ICHC. Tim says he sees hospital chaplaincy as a perfect way for Church to have a positive social impact within New Zealand society, as we offer spiritual and emotional care amidst times of personal crisis. He looks forward to working with those interested and committed to this important ministry.
NZHCA membership fees have increased from $60 per year to - $240 for all Chaplains (part- time chaplains or retired chaplains), and $60 per year for our volunteers?
John Moore the president of Gideon’s International Bible society brought in extra bibles.
Counselling sessions continue for patients, staff, and on occasion, troubled folk who walk in.
We get requests to officiate funerals, Home visits /Telephone calls to check in on our elderly.
Chapel Services are still on Thursday afternoons 2.00pm. Attendance hasn’t been great but it is a long way from the wards, however bedside communion is served to Patients on request.

Carter House Aged Care Facility - 2017
Carter House is a “Care” Facility where the residents are not only physically well cared for but also in a spiritual and familial way as well.
Carter House is very much one “big family” and I experienced that care and love given not only to residents but also to their family’s first hand this past year.
So part of this report is not just from me as “Chaplain” but also as a family member of a resident. My mother had been in Tauranga Hospital earlier this year for nearly 3 months, having broken her hip. Every time I called into Carter House over those months I was asked by, not only staff but also by many residents, as to how my mum was and to pass on their love and best wishes.
Like any family they not only rejoice when a resident returns from hospital, but they also grieve the death of each resident, of a friend, and then genuinely welcome the newcomer into their midst. They play games with each other, laugh, share their skills and time, and yes, at times they grumble and complain about each other. It is one, big, caring family.
This care I see move into the worship services that I take weekly in the Resthome. I watch the residents gently help the person in the armchair next to them who is struggling to turn pages, knowing that the service won’t carry on until all have the right page. Then when it comes to the time for the intercessions, the residents tell me what they are thankful to God for and who and what they want to pray for. Sometimes it is a personal thing that prayer is asked for and often the following week they openly share how God answered their prayer. We have moved on from thanking God for “everything” to being more specific and naming one thing they are thankful for. Part of this intercession time is used to bring those who are not always aware of what is happening in our world up to date in a gentle caring way. That God is interested in them and cares for them and their world becomes real, and I have the privilege of being a part of that reality.
Much of my role stays the same from one year to the next; listening to concerns and cares, catching up with staff and spending time on a regular basis with the manager, praying with the dying, pushing chairs to the church service, singing the same hymns week in week out in the dementia wing, poking my head into each residents room and saying hello. But then there are the extra special God moments when I am so aware of God going before me. Like when I gave a holding cross to a resident who was worried that God wouldn’t accept them, and seeing the relief and peace on their face after we had prayed and I had given absolution. That cross was still clutched tight days later.
It is with joy and a real knowledge that this is all God’s work that I present this report to Synod.

Hodgson House Chaplaincy Report – 2017
I commenced as Chaplain at the end of March 2017 and Heritage Life Healthcare took over the running of Hodgson House on 1 April. It has been a time of significant change for both staff and residents.
The Sunday service time was changed from 1.00pm to 11.00am. Residents were asking for this change because they often have visitors in the afternoon and many of them enjoy an afternoon rest after their lunch. This earlier time appears to suit most residents and the attendance has increased with 22-25 regularly attending. Some prefer to attend their own churches in the morning.
Hodgson House is a very busy place and scheduling of visits to residents often needs to be planned around activities such as outside trips for bowls, diversional therapy sessions in the lounge, visits by the local pre-school and a variety of other activities that are planned each day. The Hodgson House complex also has people living in their own independent units. I enjoy visiting the residents of these units and there is quite a community among these people. Not only do I meet residents living in their units but I usually get to meet their family as well. I have found visiting to be most effective between 9am and 12pm.
Hodgson house has six palliative beds. I find I do spend quite a bit of time with the patient and their family who are supporting a dying loved one. Room blessings is an important part of this Ministry.
As a new Chaplain, it’s been a time of learning for me, meeting the residents and staff and observing their place and role at Hodgson House. Visiting Hodgson House can be very rewarding but it can also sometimes be a challenge. I find it is helpful to spend a few minutes in prayer before I visit praying and focussing on the compassion of Christ. I find praying with, and for patients, to be one of the most rewarding and comforting aspects of this ministry. Some of the residents join in and pray with me, and often I find I am ministered to as well. I feel very blessed to be able to work and share God’s word with these wonderful elderly people.
I have had wonderful support from the staff and management. I’ve also had support from other denominations in Tauranga, but I feel we do need to have more ordained or lay people involved in the Friday ecumenical service so the residents can have a variety of voices, types of services and music. I appreciate the loyal support I have from volunteers and musicians who assist on Fridays and Sundays.

Woodford House Chaplaincy - 2017
In March this year, Woodford House bid goodbye to the chaplain of the past 7 years, Rev’d Joy Hamilton-Jones, in a moving farewell chapel service. Rev’d Joy has taken up her new post of chaplain at Wellington hospital. The school was very grateful for the contributions of local clergy to our chapel services during a brief interregnum. Tommy Lamb, our current Chapel prefect, did remarkably well in maintaining the stability of chapel services during that time.
I took over my new position here at the start of term 3, having moved from my previous role as chaplain at St Peter’s School in Cambridge, N.Z. I have been in New Zealand for almost three years, having previously lived and worked in the North East of England as a Religious Studies teacher and an assistant parish priest in the Diocese of Durham.
I was welcomed at a beautiful commissioning service in our chapel of St Francis on 30th April. This was led by Bishop Andrew Hedge, and various symbols were presented on behalf of the staff, students, B.O.T and B.O.P, Old Girls association and the Parents’ association.
Rev’d Deborah’s Commissioning service on 30th April
The following Sunday the whole school joined the choir and congregation of St John’s Cathedral in Napier for their patronal service. Our choir (who came third in last year’s national ‘Big Sing’ competition) contributed alongside the cathedral’s own choir. . We were privileged to host Father Richard Peers, Diocesan Director of Education from the Diocese of Liverpool, U.K. for our service of Pentecost (which aptly coincided with our Festival of Cultures day). Rev Peers had been the main speaker at the Anglican Schools’ Conference in Auckland this year and shared with us his experiences as a Principal of a large Anglican School in Inner London. Our own Principal, Mrs Julie Peterson, is a member of the Board of the Anglican Schools of Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia and attended the conference at Dilworth School, along with myself as school chaplain. This attracted chaplains, teachers and principals from across the whole Province. It was an inspirational few days when we considered how we might approach the concept of hospitality, (‘A place at the table for all’) as illustrated in Rublev’s icon of the Trinity, within our whole school community.
We hold two weekly chapels and four Sunday chapels for all girls. At Friday chapel, each home room takes it in turn to prepare and lead the service. This term we have focussed on the symbols on our Rose window (Love, Faith, Justice and Faith). I have been impressed by the creativity and spiritual depth of the liturgies and reflections the girls have designed and delivered.
On 18th July, we celebrated Te Pouhere Sunday in our annual joint service with Te Aute and Hukarere Colleges here at our chapel. We affirmed our three tikanga unity by threading a three-fold cord and also by using a fidget spinner (the latest ‘must have’ gadget!). A warm fellowship with singing and food was enjoyed afterwards in our dining hall.

We continue to support the Hospital Chapel in Hastings every few weeks, in sending a small team of girls to assist with bringing patients to the Sunday chapel service there. Girls also participated in a joint school service day in Napier and Hastings, helping out at Hohepa, Cape Kidnappers, the Red Cross and various low decile primary schools in the area.
As part of our Religious Studies programme, our junior students are piloting a Middle School Theology unit developed by the Anglican Schools’ Office in partnership with the University of Otago. This aims to incorporate philosophical and critical thinking skills as we introduce students to the theology and spirituality of the Christian Faith. In addition to this, students also explore a number of other World Religions, including Islam and Buddhism. Y10 students have visited the Holocaust centre, synagogue and mosque in Wellington. A visit to the Buddhist monastery in Clive is planned in the near future.
I am hugely encouraged by my first term here at Woodford House and look forward with great excitement to the future development of the chaplaincy here.

Hereworth School Chaplaincy - 2017
Our central theme was to emphasise our motto Non Nobis Solum. We encouraged the boys to reflect on ways Jesus has taught us to relate and serve others, to have open generous hearts, and to share the talents they have with others.
World Vision was again well supported with the boys challenged to survive for 40 hours on what they could fit into a day pack. They raised $1,600 towards supplying the children in a Syrian refugee camp with a classroom. We continued to support a World Vison child from our Chapel donations.
Special appeals at our Chapel Services are passed onto local agencies. The Samaritan Christmas box appeal was very generously supported. The ‘delicious Christmas treats’ placed under the Chapel Christmas tree to be handed onto the foodbanks is another witness of generosity from the Hereworth Community .
It is a huge privilege as Chaplain to be able to openly share the story of the Good News of Jesus with the boys. It is good to have Bishop Andrew as our Anglican connection on our Hereworth Board.
We are working on strengthening the links we have with other Anglican schools around NZ, and value the support we have to do this from Rev’d Dr Anne Van Gend. She provides a common resource base for all the schools, and encourages us to share innovative ways of delivering RE.
The tradition and special character of Hereworth help to prepare the boys to go forward with confidence. The handshake and ‘eye to eye’ contact, accompanied by a warm smile and greeting, help to set them apart and join them together.
Keeping abreast with changes is also important. (We no longer still drive the same cars that we used to 8o years ago). We were delighted that with the support of the Williams Family Trust a screen and microphone were added to the Chapel, as this made our worship times so much more relevant.
By continually re-examining the symbols on our school coat of arms, a deeper understanding is developed of the ‘glue’ that holds this magnificent school and all the old boys together. As a school, we are under God’s protection. We unashamedly proclaim the Christian faith through our Anglican tradition. We intend to be around for perpetuity. We are a place where the pursuit of knowledge happens. Our forbearers left us not a monument but a living, ever-changing legacy to uphold, cherish and always seek to improve on. The motto, “non nobis solum”, declares proudly what we stand for…. not for ourselves alone.
Last year, the Hawke’s Bay School Chaplains hosted the NZ Chaplain’s Conference in August. It was a chance to show others our stimulating and exciting RE space which brings Christ right into the heart of school curriculum activity, along with our Chapel.
- 71 - A37
Our second “Light Party” was a great night, as we celebrated All Saints with a Family Chapel service in mufti and sharing a family picnic on ‘the knoll’, showing off our homemade, no- engine trolleys down the driveway. Next year we hope to see more marvellous trolleys entered.
The traditional ANZAC service was held, providing a sombre reminder for fallen old boys.
The Leavers’ Service provides a place to handover our past, present and future visions, as the boys who are leaving receive their leavers tie, as a symbol of belonging and being welcome to return.
The traditional end of year Carol Service held at St Luke’s each December is a highlight for the local community, another expression of Non Nobis Solum.
Hereworth enjoys sharing worship times with other schools and joining the Parish of St Luke’s down in the Village, along with visiting the elderly at Waiapu Village and sharing with the pre-school at our gate. Taking ourselves out and welcoming others into our space is an area we are enjoying developing.
The role of Chaplaincy remains the trusted guardian to ensure the “special character” remains at the core of all we do here at Hereworth. I have so enjoyed being a bridge these past two years to help maintain this vital position, which upholds the special character of Christianity in the school providing links with the past, ensuring a strong foundation remains for the present and the opportunity to dream for our future.
It has been a privilege for me to work alongside my enthusiastic Chapel Monitors, our Headmaster, Steve Fiet, and his dedicated staff. It is a joy to worship alongside what I believe, is the finest boys’ choir in New Zealand.
Waiapu is truly blessed to have Hereworth School. I wish the newly appointed Chaplain well as he takes up his appointment in October.

Waiapu House Lifecare - 2017
Waiapu House Havelock North has been faced with many challenges over the past year. The major one being a change in ownership to Heritage Lifecare, so now the new name is Waiapu House Lifecare. There has also been two changes of management in this time and many staff have taken the opportunity to look at pastures greener.
We welcomed Barbara Sutherland–West in January as our new manager, and already she has done some positive streamlining of things around the area.
My position as chaplain is ongoing and I am very happy to support and assist the staff and residents in coping with some changes that can be unsettling.
There is a wonderful worship centre at the heart of Waiapu house called The Good Shepherd Chapel. It is an amazing place for weekly communion services held on a Wednesday morning, for funeral services and for people to come to just sit quietly and to provide special services at times. eg. ANZAC Day.
I am very grateful to members of St Luke’s Parish, Havelock North, who come each Wednesday to meet, talk and assist people to come to the chapel services. They also help with the reading and the serving of communion.
I am extremely privileged to be a part of the lives of the residents in the four different living areas. I have contact by visiting in the rooms, joining in a number of activities, celebrating special occasions, presiding at funerals and facing grief with families.
A monthly programme is produced and it is a way of informing residents when services will take place. It also gives me an overview of events and enables me to work out what I can be involved in. Sometimes it is delightful to watch the reactions of individuals as they participate, playing bowls, or creating some art, or getting involved in a cooking session, or getting involved in a sing-a-long.
The staff are very supportive of my position and often go out of their way to keep me informed of changes in people’s health. This gives me an opportunity to give reassurance with prayer and anointing if desired.
I feel very blessed to be part of so many interesting lives and to share faith and the love of God with such lovely people.

Notes to and forming part of the consolidated Financial Statements For the year ending 31 December 2016
Note 1 - REPORTING ENTITY Hereworth School Trust Board is a Charitable Trust incorporated under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957, and is a Charity registered under the Charities Act 2005 and is domiciled and operates in New Zealand. The relevant legislation governing Hereworth School Trust Board’s operations includes the Education Act 1989.
Hereworth School Trust Board’s primary objective is to provide a preparatory school for boys. Hereworth School Trust Board does not operate to make a financial return.
Hereworth School Trust Board has designated itself as a public benefit entity (PBE) for financial reporting purposes.
The financial statements for Hereworth School Trust Board are for the year ended 31 December 2016, and were approved by the Board on 12 June 2017.
Note 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and the accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year. a) Statement of compliance The financial statements of Hereworth School Trust Board have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2005, which includes the requirement to comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Tier 2 PBE Standards. Hereworth School Trust Board qualify for Tier 2 reporting as it does not have public accountability; and it is not large as defined by PBE IPSAS 1 Paragraph 38.

Page | 8 - 164 - F91
Note 3 – USE OF JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions In preparing these financial statements, Hereworth School Trust Board has made estimates and assumptions concerning the future. These estimates and assumptions may differ from the subsequent actual results. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are: Useful lives and residual values of property, plant, and equipment – refer to Note 15.
Critical judgements in applying accounting policies Management has exercised the following critical judgements in applying accounting policies: Leases classification – refer to Notes 23& 24.
Note 4 -SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Significant accounting policies are included in the notes to which they relate. Significant accounting policies that do not relate to a specific note are outlined below.
Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions (including those subject to forward foreign exchange contracts) are translated into NZ (the functional currency) using the Average exchange rates for the month of which the transactions occurred. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the surplus or deficit.
Goods and services tax Items in the financial statements of the parent company are presented exclusive of GST, except for receivables and payables, which are presented on a GST-inclusive basis. Where GST is not recoverable as input tax, it is recognised as part of the related asset or expense. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the IRD is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. The net GST paid to, or received from, the IRD, including the GST relating to investing and financing activities, is classified as a net operating cash flow in the statement of cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed exclusive of GST.
Income tax Hereworth School Trust Board is a registered charity and consequently is exempt from the payment of income tax. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income tax.
Page | 9 - 165 - F92
Leases
Classification and treatment Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease At the inception of an arrangement the Group determines whether such an arrangement is or contains a lease. This will be the case if the following two criteria are met: The fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific assets or assets, and The arrangement contains a right to use the asset(s).
At inception or on reassessment of the arrangement, the Group separates payments and other consideration required by such an arrangement into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If the Group concludes for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payments reliably, then an asset and a liability are recognised at an amount equal to fair value of the underlying asset. Subsequently the liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance cost on the liability is recognised using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.
Note 5 – CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY
There have been no changes in accounting policy beyond the adoption of PBE IFRS suite of Accounting Standards.
Note 6- REVENUE
Accounting policy The specific accounting policies for significant revenue items are explained below: Revenue is recognised when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group, and measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. The following specific recognition criteria in relation to the Group’s revenue streams must also be met before revenue is recognised.
Revenue from exchange transactions School Fees School Fees are invoiced monthly for the months that the school is operating. The revenue for these fees are recognised in the financial year in which the fees are incurred and the service is provided.
Sale of Goods Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Other grants received Grants are recognised as revenue when they become receivable unless there is an obligation in substance to return the funds if conditions of the grant are not met. If there is such an obligation, the grants are initially recorded as grants received in advance and recognised as revenue when conditions of the grant are satisfied.
Donated assets Page | 10 - 166 - F93
Where a physical asset is gifted to or acquired by Hereworth School Trust Board for nil consideration or at a subsidised cost, the asset is recognised at fair value. The difference between the consideration provided and fair value of the asset is recognised as revenue. The fair value of donated assets is determined as follows: For new assets, fair value is usually determined by reference to the retail price of the same or similar assets at the time the asset was received. For used assets, fair value is usually determined by reference to market information for assets of a similar type, condition, and age.
Donated services Certain operations of Hereworth School Trust Board are reliant on services provided by volunteers. Volunteer services received are not recognised as revenue or expenditure by Hereworth School Trust Board.
Interest revenue Interest revenue is recognised by accruing on a time proportion basis the interest due for the investment.
Rental revenue Lease receipts are recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Sale of publications Sales of publications are recognised as revenue when the product is sold to the customer.
Provision of services Services provided to third parties on commercial terms are recognised as revenue in proportion to the stage of completion at balance date.
Revenue from non-exchange transactions
Non-exchange transactions are those where the Group receives an inflow of resources ((i.e. cash and other tangible or intangible items) but provides no (or nominal) direct consideration in return. With the exception of services-in-kind, inflows of resources from non-exchange transactions are only recognised as assets where both: It is probable that the associated future economic benefit or service potential will flow to the entity, and Fair value is reliably measurable. Inflows of resources from non-exchange transactions that are recognised as assets are recognised as non- exchange revenue, to the extent that a liability is not recognised in respect to the same inflow.
Liabilities are recognised in relation to inflows of resources from non-exchange transactions when there is a resulting present obligation as a result of the non-exchange transactions, where both: It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying future economic benefit or service potential will be required to settle the obligation, and The amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.
The following specific recognition criteria in relation to the Group’s non-exchange transaction revenue streams must also be met before revenue is recognised
Grants, Donations, Legacies and Bequests The recognition of non-exchange revenue from Grants, Donations, Legacies and bequests depends on the nature of any stipulations attached to the inflow of resources received, and whether this creates a liability (i.e. present obligation) rather than the recognition of revenue.
Stipulations that are ‘conditions’ specifically require the Group to return the inflow of resources received if they are not utilised in the way stipulated, resulting in the recognition of a non-exchange liability that is subsequently Page | 11 - 167 - F94 recognised as non-exchange revenue as and when the ‘conditions’ are satisfied. Stipulations that are ‘restrictions’ do not specifically require the Group to return the inflow of resources received if they are not utilised in the way stipulated, and therefore do not result in the recognition of a non-exchange liability, which results in the immediate recognition of non-exchange revenue."
Critical judgements in applying accounting policies
Other grants received
Hereworth School Trust Board must exercise judgement when recognising grant revenue to determine when conditions of the grant contract have been satisfied. In the 2016 year, no such grants were received. (2015 Nil)

Note 11 – RECEIVABLES – EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS
Accounting policy Short-term receivables are recorded at the amount due, less any provision for impairment. A receivable is considered impaired when there is evidence the amount due will not be fully collected. The amount that is uncollectable is the difference between the amount due and the present value of the amount expected to be collected.

Note 13 - INVENTORIES Accounting policy Inventories are held for distribution or for use in the provision of goods and services. The measurement of inventories depends on whether the inventories are held for commercial or non- commercial (distribution at no charge or for a nominal charge) distribution or use. Inventories are measured as follows: Commercial: measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Non-commercial: measured at cost, adjusted for any loss of service potential. Cost is allocated using the first in, first out (FIFO) method, which assumes the items of inventory that were purchased first are distributed or used first. Inventories acquired through non-exchange transactions are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. Any write-down from cost to net realisable value or for the loss of service potential is recognised in surplus or deficit in the period of the write-down.

There were no reversals of previously written down inventory items (2015: nil). No inventories are pledged as security for liabilities (2015 nil).
Note 14 - INVESTMENTS
Accounting policy Bank term deposits Bank term deposits are initially measured at the amount invested. Interest is subsequently accrued and added to the investment balance. Equity investments Equity investments are designated at fair value through other comprehensive revenue and expense, which are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at their fair value with gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive revenue and expense, except for impairment losses, which are recognised in the surplus or deficit. When sold, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive revenue and expense is transferred to the surplus or deficit. A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost is considered objective evidence of impairment. If impairment evidence exists, the cumulative loss recognised in other comprehensive revenue and expense is transferred from equity to the surplus or deficit. Impairment losses on equity investments recognised in the surplus or deficit are not reversed through the surplus or deficit.

The fair value of equity investments is determined by reference to published bid price quotations in an active market.
Note 15 - PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Accounting policy Property, plant, and equipment consists of five asset classes, which are measured as follows: Land, at cost Buildings, at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings fitout, at cost less accumulated depreciation. Site improvements, at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Plant & equipment, at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Computer equipment, at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Motor vehicles, at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Recognition and measurement Items of property plant and equipment are initially measured at cost, except those acquired through non- exchange transactions which are instead measured at fair value as their deemed cost at initial recognition. Heritage assets with no future economic benefit or service potential other than their heritage value are not recognised in the statement of financial position.
All of the Group’s items of property plant and equipment are subsequently measured in accordance with the cost model.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the following: The cost of materials and direct labour Costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use When the Group has an obligation to remove the asset or restore the site, an estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and Capitalised borrowing costs.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in surplus or deficit.
Page | 16 - 172 - F99
Depreciation For property, plant and equipment, depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets that have a useful life that is different from the remainder of those assets, those components are depreciated separately. Depreciation is recognised in surplus or deficit on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated. Assets under construction are not subject to depreciation.
Estimated useful lives / straight line depreciation rates Asset class Useful life Deprecation (Years) rate Buildings 25 – 60 1.6%– 4% Building Fitout 12 8.33% Computer Equipment 5 20% Furniture & Fittings 10 10% Plant 5 20% Site Improvements 10 10% Vehicles & Maintenance Equipment 5 20% Website 2.5 40%
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

F101 Note 16 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Recognition and measurement Intangible assets are initially measured at cost, except for Intangible assets acquired through non-exchange transactions (measured at fair value), and Goodwill (measured in accordance with business combination accounting.
All of the Group’s intangible assets are subsequently measured in accordance with the cost model, being cost (or fair value for items acquired through non-exchange transactions) less accumulated amortisation and impairment, except for the following items which are not amortised and instead tested for impairment: Goodwill Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, or not yet available for use. The Group has no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed intangible assets includes the following: The cost of materials and direct labour Costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, and Capitalised borrowing costs.
Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in surplus or deficit as incurred.
Amortisation
Amortisation is recognised in surplus or deficit on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each amortisable intangible asset. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
Website 2.5 years 40%
Impairment of intangible assets
Refer to the policy for impairment of property, plant, and equipment in Note 15. The same approach applies to the impairment of intangible assets.

Note 17 – INVESTMENT PROPERTY
Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes.
Recognition and measurement Investment property is initially measured at cost, except those acquired through non-exchange transactions which are instead measured at fair value as their deemed cost at initial recognition. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property. The cost of self-constructed investment property includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the investment property to a working condition for their intended use and capitalised borrowing costs. Investment properties continue to be measured at cost in subsequent years. Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in surplus or deficit.
Reclassifications When an investment property that was previously classified as property, plant and equipment is sold, any related amount included in the revaluation reserve is transferred to retained earnings. When the use of an investment property changes to owner occupied, such that it results in a reclassification to property, plant and equipment, the property’s fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.
As both investment property and Property Plant and Equipment classes of asset are valued at cost there is no change to the cost of the asset or any movements through net surplus or equity.

Note 18 - NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE Accounting policy A non-current asset is classified as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use. The asset is measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Write-downs of the asset are recognised in the surplus or deficit. Any increases in fair value (less costs to sell) are recognised in the surplus or deficit up to the level of any impairment losses that have previously been recognised. A non-current asset is not depreciated or amortised while classified as held for sale.

Changes in recognition calculation F106 Prior to 2016, employee liabilities were calculated based on the assumption that teachers took the annual leave entitlement in January of each year. On review of the employment contracts which refer to the school policy on annual leave entitlement for teachers, it has been calculated based on the policy that says teachers annual leave is assumed to start at the beginning of the Christmas term break. This leaves the average full time teacher with an annual leave balance of 7 days owing as at 31st December 2016.

Note 24 - OPERATING LEASES
Accounting Policy Leases that are not finance leases are classified as operating leases. Operating leases are not recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position. Payments made under operating leases are recognised in surplus or deficit on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.
