Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga – List Entry Review Report for a Historic Place, List No. 1266 2 PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of the review is to assess whether it is appropriate to vary the extent of the New Zealand Heritage List/Rārangi Kōrero (the List) entry for Palmerston North Technical School (Former), Category 2 historic place (List No.1266). The reason for the review is that Palmerston North Technical School (Former) has undergone significant modification since it was first added to the List. It is also located in the immediate vicinity of an associated building, the Palmerston North Technical School’s former Workshops, which has been identified through the Crown Land Disposal process as contributing to and extending the understanding of the overall heritage significance of the place. This review assessment concludes that clarifying and broadening the extent of the List entry is warranted and appropriate because this will suitably recognise the significance of Palmerston North Technical School (Former) and the parts of the former main school building and the workshops building which contribute to its importance. Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga – List Entry Review Report for a Historic Place, List No. 1266 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Palmerston North Technical School (Former) was built on the former site of a large forest clearing, called Papaioea, where a pā associated with important Rangitāne tūpuna was located. The place has historic and social significance because the various educational institutions based there since 1909 have catered to rural and urban Māori, as well as others seeking vocational and tertiary education opportunities. Located within the Universal College of Learning (UCOL) Manawatū’s central city campus, Palmerston North Technical School (Former) comprises the remnants of the school’s 1909 red brick main building and the neighbouring 1928 reinforced concrete workshops which was extended a few years later, in 1936-37. Prominent architect, Frederick de Jersey Clere’s distinctive two storey Edwardian building’s façades and cupola have landmark qualities and architectural values, which are complemented by the single storey Stripped Classical workshops, designed by influential architect John Thomas Mair’s Government Architect's office. The remains of the pā in Papaioea were present when the Crown acquired the wider area in 1864 and surveyed the town. Settlement intensified from the 1870s and by the end of the nineteenth century calls for greater educational opportunities became louder. Like many places around New Zealand, vocational training for Palmerston North’s young adults and school leavers was topical at the time. After a haphazard start under the Wanganui Education Board’s leadership, in 1905-06 the recently established High School Board took over responsibility and the Technical School was earnestly established. With community and governmental financial support, they achieved the goal of purpose- built facilities in 1909. The popularity of the day and night courses, ranging from art classes, dressmaking and secretarial studies to carpentry and plumbing, meant that additions to the school quickly followed. Capacity issues continued as the city’s population steadily grew and in 1928 resulted in the new workshops building, on a site donated by the Borough Council. In the mid-twentieth century there was a nationwide move to better define the roles of technical high schools and senior technical schools. In 1955, this led to the creation of a new secondary school in Palmerston North. All the courses, except those in the workshops, then moved to the new Queen Elizabeth Technical College campus and soon after Palmerston North Teachers’ College (1956) was created and had its first home in the former main technical school building. The perennial problem of space continued and in 1971 the college moved to its Hokowhitu campus, with the new Technical Institute taking its place. The 1909 building and workshops formed the historic heart of the city’s vocational training facility and this continued through the Technical Institute’s subsequent incarnations as Manawatū Polytechnic (1983) and then UCOL Manawatū (2000) – vocational learning providers with Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga – List Entry Review Report for a Historic Place, List No. 1266 4 a regional focus and a much broader range of courses and degrees than envisioned in the early twentieth century. By the late 1990s a centralised and expanded campus was long overdue. As part of that project the 1909 façade of the original building was retained and restored in 1997, with a new building constructed behind its red bricks and its cupola and distinctive gable-ends reinstated. The former workshops building, which was adapted for use as a performing arts space in the late twentieth century, was closed after a seismic assessment spurred by the 2010 Canterbury Earthquake indicated structural deficiencies. These have yet to be resolved (2021). 1. IDENTIFICATION1 1.1.

As most of these introductions were deliberate and documented in detail by the Acclimatisation Societies responsible for them, New Zealand bird invasions are often used as a model system to unravel what determines the outcome of introduction events, especially the role of propagule pressure. However, the credibility of these data was challenged recently, as different authors have reported different numbers of liberated birds. This discrepancy has several causes. Using introductions of Eurasian skylark (Alauda arvensis) and Common starling (Sturnus vulgaris) as examples, we show that the most important issue is that not all liberated birds were imported from overseas, and so import records underestimate the total propagule pressure for particular regions.

The Paradox of Discourse Concerning Deforestation in New Zealand: A Historical Survey CATHERINE KNIGHT 32 Bluewater Place Paraparaumu Kapiti Coast, New Zealand Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT When the European settlement of New Zealand began in earnest in the mid- nineteenth century, the landscape too underwent a dramatic transformation. Much of the forest was destroyed by milling and fire, and the land converted to pasture for farming. While seen by many as firmly within the prevailing ‘doc- trine of progress’, this transformation was viewed with misgivings by others, who observed how deforestation led to erosion and floods, and advocated more prudent forest management. This paper explores the historical discourse on deforestation around the latter part of the nineteenth and early part of the twentieth centuries and how it contrasts with the recent discourse following major floods in 2004, in which the discussion of deforestation as an underlying cause of floods and erosion is notable in its very absence.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. The Tool and Instrument of the Military? The Operations of the Military Service Tribunals in the East Central Division of the West Riding of Yorkshire and those of the Military Service Boards in New Zealand, 1916-1918 A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History at Massey University David Littlewood 2015 i Abstract The Military Service Acts that implemented conscription in Great Britain and New Zealand during 1916 permitted appeals for exemption to a Military Service Tribunal or Military Service Board respectively. Although claims lodged on the grounds of hardship or occupation were by far the most common, historians have overwhelmingly focused on that distinct minority of individuals who cited conscientious objections. Furthermore, there has been no attempt to compare the structure, or the workings, of the exemption systems in these two countries. By employing a ‘British World’ approach, this thesis compares the operations of the Tribunals in the East Central Division of the West Riding of Yorkshire with those of the Boards across New Zealand. It investigates the relationship between the appeal bodies and their respective governments and militaries, to assess how far each claim was judged on its merits. It also analyses the appointment of personnel and the attitudes that the Tribunal and Board members adopted during their hearings.
