  • A 40 Year History
    New Zealand Secondary Schools Athletics Association National Secondary School Cross Country Championships A 40 Year History Introduction The New Zealand Secondary Schools Athletics Association is proud to publish a forty- year history of the New Zealand Secondary Schools Cross Country Championships. Participation in the event between 1974 and 2013 totals well over 10,000 athletes from all but a handful of schools from around the country. With an annual involvement of over 1000 students it has become one of the largest secondary school sporting events in New Zealand. The idea for this document was born during the 1995 NZSSCC Championships in Masterton. At this time (before the internet), results were published in a hard copy booklet. In this particular year the first three place getters in the individual, and three and six person team categories were published for the first twenty-one years of the events history. This accompanied the full set of 1995 results. After this event, the majority of results were published electronically. Unfortunately, many of these results were lost in the mid to late nineties because there was no dedicated NZSSAA website. Sincere thanks need to be given to Don Chadderton for providing the first twenty years’ of results. Without these early results a significant part of athletics New Zealand’s history would have eventually been forgotten. These include the 1974 performance of Alison Rowe, who would later go on to win both the 1981 Boston and New York marathons. As well as Burnside High School’s 1978 performance in the junior boys event where they completed the perfect three-man score of six points.

  • The Amalgamation of Secondary Schools
    THE AMALGAMATION OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS A CASE STUDY OF AMALGAMATION CULTURE SHOCK IN A RURAL NEW ZEALAND CATHOLIC COMMUNITY A thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Educational Administration at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand MADELEINE CLAIRE HILLS 1999 CANDIDATES STATEMENT I certifiy that the thesis entitled The Amalgamation of Secondary Schools: A Case Study of Amalgamation Culture Shock in a Rural New Zealand Catholic Community and submitted as a part of the degree of Master of Educational Administration at Massey University, Palmerston North, is the result of my own work, except where otherwise acknowledged, and that this thesis (or any part of the same), has not been submitted for any other degree to any other university or institution. Signed Date Amalgamation Thesis Madeleine Claire Hills 2 ABSTRACT This case study examines the process which led to the formation of Chanel College by the amalgamation of St Bride's and St Joseph's colleges in 1978. From 1970 - 1999 a radical restructuring of Catholic secondary education in New Zealand resulted in the closure of twelve single sex secondary schools for girls and the amalgamation of twenty-six secondary schQOls. Chanel College was the first New Zealand Catholic secondary school to bypass the co-institutional transitional phase of amalgamation and to be a co-educational college from its beginning. As time passes there is the possibility that important understandings that were part of the history of the merger might be lost and stakeholders in each of the merging organisations might feel that their own roots and mission have not been given enough recognition and respect in the new organisation.

    Lansdowne Pre 1909 26th February 1906 The residents of Lansdowne intend making an appeal to the Wellington Education Board for the erection of a school within that district, and at present a petition is in circulation for signatures. It is urged that there are approximately one hundred children of, or near, school age and that with either the school at Masterton or at Te Ore Ore, the distance is fairly long, and the roads and bridges crossed are much used for stock traffic and therefore dangerous. A suggestion is made that the Te Ore Ore school, in a district where settlement is not progressing and with the school attendance consequently on the decrease, should be transferred to a central position at Lansdowne. The matter is being taken up heartily by Lansdowne residents. 30th April 1906 At the meeting of the Education Board, last week, a petition from parents and guardians of children, asking that a school be established at Lansdowne, was considered The memorial contained the names and other particulars of children within school age. The number being over 80, while an almost equal number was given of children under 5 years. It was decided to refer the application to the Inspectors and the Masterton School Committee 11th May 1906 TE ORE ORE SCHOOL. Suggested Removal to Lansdowne Sub Committee Appointed to Make Enquiries. The advisableness of removing the To Ore Ore School from its present site was discussed at the meeting of the Masterton School Committee, last evening, when a letter was received from the Education Board asking the Committee's opinion on an application received from a number of residents at Lansdowne for the erection of the school in that district.
