Newsletter 1 April 2021 Issue: Term 1 - Week 10 Thursday 1 April 2021 NEWSLETTER _______________________________________________________________for students & families _ Principal's Message: Ehara tāku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini - My strength is not as an individual, but as a collective Tena koutou katoa e te whānau o Craighead Manaaki House badges – Designed by our very own Personal Assistant Mrs Gillian Owens, we were delighted to launch the new Manaaki House badges in Assembly this week. The four wind directions were initially chosen by former Head Mistress Miss Violet Salmond (1927-1930), who wanted to find a way of mixing up day and boarding students. Despite being English born and educated in London, Miss Salmond wanted something distinctly New Zealand. Legend has it that on a particularly blustery North Westerly day she struck by the thought that Craighead students came from all points of the compass and then left to find their own directions to all corners of the world. So, she chose the four points of the compass from which the winds blow and after consultation with local iwi, adopted their names in Te Reo – Te Raki (North), Te Tonga (South), Te Rawhiti (East) and Te Uru (West). As a small token of our appreciation for service to the school House System, the Teacher Leaders of each House were awarded their Manaaki badges, who then in turn presented badges to the Senior House Leaders, who then presented House badges to the Year 10 Junior Leaders. These are now available for all students to purchase from the school office for $8 each. RISE Values – Over the past few weeks, we have been unpacking what our four RISE values (Respect, Integrity, Service, and personal Excellence) look like in a school setting. This week we talked about Integrity – which is probably one of the most subjective ones, because it comes from within. Integrity is the quality of having strong ethical or moral principles and always following them, no matter who is watching. A simple way of looking at integrity, is summed up by the quote “Doing the right thing when no one is watching”. Having integrity means living your life according to your morals and values which ties in very closely with our spiritual values. A person with integrity is sincere, and loyal, and acts with honesty, honour, and truthfulness. We encourage our students to speak the truth and to act with integrity. Boarding House Survey – thank you to all the Boarding families who have responded to our Boarding House Survey which was emailed out last week. This is intended to cover all aspects of Boarding (Governance and Facilities, Pastoral Care and Prep, Catering, and Staffing). We are happy to receive constructive feedback and helpful suggestions as to how we can improve our services to all Boarding families. We ask that all responses are completed by 5pm on Thursday 1 April. The Board of Proprietors is currently reviewing our Catering, Cleaning and Laundry services, as this contract is due for renewal mid-year. Easter holiday break - As we come towards the end of Term One, most of us are very much looking forward to a break over the Easter weekend. Staff and students have been very busy - completing assessments, marking and moderating, and writing interim reports. The busy summer sports season is drawing to a close, and we are already well into preparation for our winter sports participation.

  • The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative
    THE PUBLIC REALM OF CENTRAL CHRISTCHURCH NARRATIVE Written by Debbie Tikao, Landscape Architect and General Manager of the Matapopore Charitable Trust. Kia atawhai ki te iwi – Care for the people Pita Te Hori, Upoko – Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga, 1861 The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative 1 2 CERA Grand Narratives INTRODUCTION This historical narrative weaves together Ngāi Tahu cultural values, stories and traditional knowledge associated with Ōtautahi (Christchurch) and the highly mobile existence of hapū and whānau groups within the Canterbury area and the wider landscape of Te Waipounamu (South Island). The focus of this historical narrative therefore is on this mobile way of life and the depth of knowledge of the natural environment and natural phenomena that was needed to navigate the length and breadth of the diverse and extreme landscape of Te Waipounamu. The story that will unfold is not one of specific sites or specific areas, but rather a story of passage and the detailed cognitive maps that evolved over time through successive generations, which wove together spiritual, genealogical, historical and physical information that bound people to place and provided knowledge of landscape features, mahinga kai and resting places along the multitude of trails that established the basis for an economy based on trade and kinship. This knowledge system has been referred to in other places as an oral map or a memory map, which are both good descriptions; however, here it is referred to as a cognitive map in an attempt to capture the multiple layers of ordered and integrated information it contains. This historical narrative has been written to guide the design of the public realm of the Christchurch central business area, including the public spaces within the East and South frames.

Following an initial assessment of the soils where the TMW would be applied, a lysimeter trial was set up at Lincoln University in December 2014. This trial comprised 18 50 cm x 70 cm lysimeters containing intact soil cores from the golf course at Duvauchelle (12 lysimeters) and an area between Takamatua and Akaroa (6 lysimeters). The soils from Duvauchelle and Takamatua were Barry’s soil and a Pawson silt loam, respectively.

  • 6025 Christchurch Akaroa Road, Duvauchelle
    DISTRICT PLAN – LISTED HERITAGE PLACE HERITAGE ASSESSMENT – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE HERITAGE ITEM NUMBER 1157 FORMER DUVAUCHELLE SALEYARDS BUILDING AND SETTING - 6025 CHRISTCHURCH AKAROA ROAD, DUVAUCHELLE PHOTOGRAPH: B. SMYTH, MARCH 2014 HISTORICAL AND SOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE Historical and social values that demonstrate or are associated with: a particular person, group, organisation, institution, event, phase or activity; the continuity and/or change of a phase or activity; social, historical, traditional, economic, political or other patterns. The former Duvauchelle Saleyards building has historical and social significance for its association with the sale of cattle and other stock from Banks Peninsula farms. The Peninsula Saleyards Company was formed in 1888 and the company’s yards at Duvauchelle came into use in 1889. At the time of its inception Robert Latter, auctioneer, stock-dealer and farmer, was chairman of the company and OS Watkins was the secretary and public officer. Having previously leased land, erected saleyards and fenced paddocks on another site, in 1903 the Company purchased just over 3 acres of land opposite the Somerset Hotel from Elizabeth Shadbolt. The company decided in 1910 to erect an office and this was opened on 2 June 1911 by CAC Hardy on behalf of RH Rhodes, the local MP. The building initially consisted of 6 rooms which were occupied by Latter, WD Wilkins and Sons, H Matson and Co., the New Zealand Farmer’s Co-operative Society, JH Williams, and Dr McReddie and KH Fountain. The offices served to facilitate the commerce of auctioneering firms and business people arising from the sale of stock in the Company’s yards.

Over 2001- 2002 the concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus based determinands (nutrients) were measured while over 2006-2007 the concentrations of nutrients, chlorophyll-a, total suspended solids, enterococci, and salinity were measured. The bays sampled were primarily selected to represent a range of geographic locations around the peninsula. These bays varied in regard to aspect of the entrance, length, width and land use. The bays sampled over both time periods were Pigeon Bay, Little Akaloa, Okains Bay, Le Bons Bay, Otanerito and Flea Bay. Hickory Bay and Te Oka Bay were also sampled over 2001-2002 but not over 2006-2007 while Port Levy and Tumbledown Bay were sampled over 2006-2007 but not over 2001-2002. Median concentrations of the nutrients ammonia nitrogen (NH3N), nitrate-nitrite nitrogen (NNN), total nitrogen (TN), dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) and total phosphorus (TP) were typically comparable to those reported from sites north and south of Banks Peninsula but some differed from those in Akaroa and Lyttelton harbours.
