Central School principal Andy Hayward says the 900sqm covered space will provide a quality space for students to learn and play all year round. “It would be great if every school was provided with one,” he said. “When you live in a district such as Tairawhiti, shade is a real asset.” Mr Hayward said it would have been impossible to do without the support of the Eastern & Central Community Trust, the New Zealand Community Trust and STORY TILERS: Twenty years ago, Gisborne man David Jones (left) was one of the young artists who contributed a self- the Lottery Grants Board. portrait to the harbourside tile wall as part of the millennium celebrations.

It struck at 12.49am this morning 710 kilometres northeast of the city at a depth of 33 kilometres. The quake was widely felt by thousands of people, with reports to GeoNet from all over the North Island and even from the Chatham Islands. One Gisborne woman described it as “quite a jolt that came on suddenly . . . everything in the house was swinging”. Another resident said his wife “woke me with a jab to the ribs and a startled call of ‘earthquake’, so I missed the initial shake, but after that it seemed to roll along fairly quietly”. “It was very gentle where I was,” said another man. “But I must say the Civil Defence warning started going through my head.

Wall Street was generally weaker as new US jobless claims overshadowed stronger manufacturing data, with investors sensitive to the ongoing spread of Covid-19 in China and some large American states. That negative sentiment was also felt in foreign exchange markets, as traders exited currencies linked to commodities and emerging markets in favour of safe havens such as the greenback. The kiwi fell to 64.22 US cents at 8am in Wellington, from 64.47 US cents at 5pm yesterday. “In the short term, market attention is focusing more on the rise in virus cases South Is likely to be the in some US states and the potential for a second wave of infections, although there is still plenty of support for rebound and recovery themes, drawing markets into a bit of a narrative power hardest hit by recession struggle,” ANZ Bank New Zealand strategist David Croy said in a note.
