Regional plans must give effect to the RPS. This means that they must follow the direction set in the RPS – basically, they It will contain all of the broad principles for managing the system. After that, we will develop must do what the RPS says, following the a draft regional plan for public comment, before publicly notifying a formal proposed regional steps it sets out.

And we can identify new towards (our end goal). We now need to check that the issues and objectives in the regional issues that are not covered in the RPS. plan are still relevant, and the policies and rules are still the best way to achieve the objectives, as shown in the diagram below.

  • Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
    A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school.

  • Spas and Geothermal Fields Candice Chalmers Brock
    ROTORUA ABSTRACT 1 Running head: ROTORUA ABSTRACT Rotorua Abstract Rotorua – Spas and Geothermal Fields Candice Chalmers Brock University Dave Brown Due: February 18 2010 TREN 3F94 ROTORUA ABSTRACT 2 In New Zealand’s North Island, a unique and popular tourist attraction can be found. Rotorua, a district that is filled with “...steaming hot springs, explosive geysers [and] bubbling mud pools...” (Lonely Planet, 2008, p.32) reminds tourists that they are in a destination that is incomparable. The harsh scent of sulphur fills the region, but this harmless element has been created by the geothermal activity that occurs in Rotorua (Bell, 1999). With ‘lunar landscapes’ that have been created by volcanic action and fourteen lakes, Rotorua attracts tourists of all kinds as this destination boasts a distinct natural environment (Ryan & Pike, 2003, p.315). The creation of these natural wonders have been because of Geothermal fields which have been produced by the ingredients of water, heat and access to the earth’s surface for geothermal heat. Once cold water moves through the ground towards the heat, the water naturally warms and moves upwards thus establishing geysers, fumaroles, mud pools and also hot springs (Department of Conservation). There are five main areas within Rotorua that possess these remarkable sights, and they are known as Whakarewarewa, Tikitere, Waimangu, Waiotapu and Orakei Korako (New Zealand on the Web). All are located in fairly close proximity, making them extremely accessible to visitors. With result many spas have been established throughout Rotorua, as there is undoubtedly an appeal to tourists as many are looking to achieve a personal experience with the natural products.
