Download (Pdf) Standish Community High School [email protected] Bulletin for students and parents / carers Friday 22nd January 2021 Message from Mrs Barker, Head of School Welcome to another edition of our weekly school bulletin. It can be hard in lockdown to maintain your levels of fitness – especially in the light of group training sessions, the closure of gyms and swimming pools and the cessation of sports clubs and activities. Despite this, our Standish Community has been increasingly focused on maintaining our physical well-being through a variety of innovative solutions. Some of the highlights have included Mr Balan and Mrs Pilkington leading a series of exciting virtual fitness sessions for staff, Mr Byron running 5K a day throughout January to raise money for charity and I have written this week to parents with details about our PE live lessons designed to keep children active. Not only that but as a school, the staff of Standish are collectively recording the distances we all walk, run or cycle during lockdown to see how far we can travel together as a group. There’ll be weekly updates in this bulletin so look out below for the current total. Have a restful weekend and stay safe. Mrs Barker Who to contact Students can email their teachers regarding their academic work between 8.50am and 3.15pm. For parental enquiries, please email [email protected]. This correspondence will be accessed between the normal school hours of 8.30am – 3.30pm.

Other brands of tablet are available - these are just examples. The school is not affiliated in any way with the products or companies listed above and does not take responsibility for any compatibility/technical issues that may arise. Please check the specification and ask the retailer if you are not sure. General notices Please can we ask that your child does not bring into school: Nuts of any type – Lupin – Kiwi – Shellfish This is due to a number of staff and students having very serious allergy issues. Also please do not allow your child to bring any nuts into school as a snack or part of a packed lunch. Thank you for your support with this. For those children still attending school, we would like to ask all parent / carers to please ensure their child is equipped with a mask and a couple of spares each day, in case of loss or damage. Disposable face masks can be purchased online via SCOPAY costing £3 for 10 and will be delivered to your child. SIMS Parents app Communications will be sent via the SIMS Parents app rather than Schoolcomms. This means you may get text messages or emails from a different source number or email address than you normally would. In the case of emails, please check your junk/spam folder on a regular basis and mark any school emails as 'not junk' or add the source email to your safe sender list. It is planned that most communications will be via email or the SIMS Parents app message function so please make sure you can access the app; however, all unexplained absence messages will be sent via a normal text message - as they currently are. If you have difficulties accessing the app or have any other questions about this, please contact us using the following email address: [email protected] Examples of excellent work this week Students in school The students in school are working very hard to access the same remote education as those at home. It’s been a very wet week but spirits have remained high. Well done to Mrs Nulty for volunteering to be goalkeeper! Also, students took part in the Packed Lunch Challenge, making their own lunch, no adults allowed! On Wednesday, Regan and Harriet brought in these fabulous lunches – Regan made Bento style rice cats as well as a delicious fruit and yoghurt dessert for breaktime! Harriet was inspired by her favourite TV characters and spent hours making brownies. Well done Regan and Harriet! Poetry Success Wonderful news from a former student, Katie Bilsborough, who got in touch to let us know that a poem she wrote during the first session of national lockdown during her remote English lessons has been published in Wigan Old Courts’ anthology, The Language of Lockdown. Katie, who has continued her studies in English Literature at college, had been encouraged to enter the poem by her teacher, Mr Blakemore, who was delighted to see her work selected for publication. You can read Katie’s submission below. Well done Katie – everyone at Standish is very proud of you! Mr Byron’s 5K Challenge Mr Byron has already smashed his £500 target so he will be running his final 5K in fancy dress. If you would like to donate to Alzheimer’s Society, please use the link below: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/chris-byron4 Well done Mr Byron! The Great Standish Lockdown Challenge Members of our fabulous staff along with their households / support bubbles are walking, skipping, running and cycling as far as they can every week. Distances will be totalled every week to see how far Standish Staff can travel during Lockdown. So far, we have ‘travelled’ 1000km – that’s the equivalent of Standish to Berlin as the crow flies!

  • The Social Organisation of Rugby Union in New Zealand
    i Unions, Leagues and Franchises: The Social Organisation of Rugby Union in New Zealand ________________________________________ A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology at the University of Canterbury By Camilla Obel _________________________________________ University of Canterbury 2001 ii Til min mor og Matthew i ABSTRACT The amateur game of rugby union is analysed by focussing upon the struggles for control between national and local unions and players. Using historical material and interviews with administrators, current players in the New Zealand national team, the All Blacks, and Canterbury, a local provincial union, I show how the game of rugby union consolidated as the national game. I follow these actors through the shift to a global professional game sponsored by television networks and show how the local advantages in the New Zealand game come to be reconfigured in this context. In the first half of the thesis I argue that a contested and continuous process of indigenisation secured both the national popularity of the amateur game, against the threat of the rival code of professional rugby league, and maintained all-important competitive ties between the national team and Britain. Protection against threats from the rival code was secured by the centralised New Zealand Rugby Football Union (NZRFU) creating two national teams, the All Blacks (1905), composed of both ‘white’ and Maori players, and the New Zealand Maori team (1910) composed only of indigenous Maori players. Further, the establishment of a national challenge competition, the Ranfurly Shield (1902), and the formation of a national league, the National Provincial Championship (1976), secured local and national publics for the amateur game.
