  • Penrose.DOC 2
    Peka Totara Penrose High School Golden Jubilee 1955 –2005 Graeme Hunt Inspiration from One Tree Hill The school crest, a totara in front of the obelisk marking the grave of ‘father of Auckland’ Sir John Logan Campbell on One Tree Hill (Maungakiekie), signals the importance of the pa and reserve to Penrose High School. It was adopted in 1955 along with the Latin motto, ‘Ad Altiora Contende’, which means ‘strive for higher things’. Foundation principal Ron Stacey, a Latin scholar, described the school in 1955 as a ‘young tree groping courageously towards the skies’. ‘We look upward towards the summit of Maungakiekie where all that is finest in both Maori and Pakeha is commemorated for ever in stone and bronze,’ he wrote. In 1999 a red border was added to the crest but the crest itself remained unchanged. In 1987 the school adopted a companion logo based on the kiekie plant which grew on One Tree Hill in pre-European times (hence the Maungakiekie name). The logo arose from a meeting of teachers debating education reform where the school’s core values were identified. The words that appear on the kiekie logo provide a basis for developing the school’s identity. The kiekie, incorporated in the school’s initial charter in 1989, does not replace the crest but rather complements it. School prayer† School hymn† Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, Go forth with God! We pray that you will bless this school, Go forth with God! the day is now Guide and help those who teach, and those who learn, That thou must meet the test of youth: That together, we may seek the truth, Salvation's helm upon thy brow, And grow in understanding of ourselves and other people Go, girded with the living truth.

The introduction of radio broadcasting was, perhaps, one of the most important of these developments. New Zealanders took up the new medium with eagerness and from the plaything of a few enthusiastic amateurs, it developed into an integral part of community life. In 1921+-, for example, there were 2,830 radio licenses issued yet by 1934 there were 1 118,086 licenses current and by 1936 the total had risen to 192,265.

    Radio keynote The Radio Conference: A Transnational Forum Auckland, January 11-14, 2011 Opening Keynote: Unpicking the myths and misunderstandings of radio in the digital age Andrew Dubber [email protected] 1 Radio keynote Hi. I’m going to start with a bit of nostalgia. And so Molly ran. And the giant ran. And they both ran. And he ran and she ran, and he ran and she ran – until they came to bridge of the single hair. Molly skipped over it, but the giant stayed. For get over, he could not. “Woe betide you, Molly Whuppie, if you e’er return again…” Hi – I’m Andrew Dubber and to say that I’m delighted to be here would be a gross understatement. This is my home. These are my people. I’m 43 now – and for the first 37 years of my life this place and this subject – Auckland, and Radio – and particularly New Zealand radio – have been my two main ingredients. You’re going to have to excuse a little self-indulgent personal narrative, but it is leading somewhere, and I do have a point. I grew up listening to the radio. It wasn’t time to walk to primary school until Merv Smith had chatted to MacHairy the Scottish spider just after the 8 o’clock news. Each year, my family – Mum, Dad, my two sisters and I - would go on holiday to a bach at Stanmore Bay in Whangaparoa – and I’d always be secretly pleased when it was too wet to go to the beach, because over the Christmas & New Year summer break, 1YA would play old episodes of BBC radio comedies like the Navy Lark, Dad’s Army, Round the Horne, I’m Sorry I’ll Read That Again and The Goons.
