  • Works Produced from the Just Another Masterpiece Education Programme We Hope You Are All Keeping Warm and Dry During the Cold Winter Season
    Works produced from the Just Another Masterpiece education programme We hope you are all keeping warm and dry during the cold winter season. Our Digital Technology Educator Jessica Wilkes has settled well in to her position after starting in term one. Jessica is originally from Auckland but has been teaching for the last few years in Westport. She will be leading the teaching and learning programmes that are technology based in the Makerspace on the 2nd floor of Te Aka Mauri (The Library and Children’s Health Hub). Alongside the technology programmes from Year 1 - 10, we are also pleased to offer support for NCEA Digital Technology internal and external assessments. Please see more details further on in this booklet. In terms 3 and 4 we are offering a range of new programmes in visual art and social science, some for a limited period so get in quick. Land of the Taniwha has curriculum links to both visual arts and social science. Students will learn more about Te Arawa and significant places through links to well known taniwha such as Pekehaua from Te Awahou, Kataore from Tikitapu and the infamous monster that dwelt at Kuirau. Just Another Masterpiece is a programme developed for students to teach a deeper understanding of abstract art while examining design elements. Students will be able to create their own abstract mono print to take back to school. Balancing Power - The Function of Local Government delves into the working of local government and is relevant and topical due to the local body elections this year. Making a return year is our Tarawera Te Maunga Tapu programme.

  • Rotorua 1 Princes Arch Gateway Architecture Seems to Be a Big City Activity
    ITINERARY n.33 NOT ON MAP 9 10 11 13 15 2 4 1 5 6 7 8 3 14 12 The Blue Baths, 1933 1901 City Guide: Rotorua 1 Princes Arch Gateway Architecture seems to be a big city activity. It is, of course, possible to think of exceptions - Mario Arawa Street Botta in the mountain resort town of Lugano, Peter Zumthor beavering away in the tiny Swiss village of Haldenstein, or more close at hand, John Scott seeming to pluck inspired designs from the coastal air of Haumoana – but almost every significant architect is associated with a particular metropolis, and much of what we assume is important about architectural culture seems to rely on metropolitan densities of wealth and sophistication. Even here in decidedly un-metropolitan New Zealand, the big cities seem to predominate. A scan of the list of NZIA National Awards reveals the dominance of Christchurch, Wellington, and (particularly) Auckland; places like Gisborne, Russell, or Levin rarely make the list. It is hard to know whether this is because of a lack of architectural ambition among small town architects, or because their important opportunities are usually snaffled by big city design firms; Aucklanders often complain about Aussies jetting in to snatch plum commissions, but seem not to hesitate at getting on a plane to Queenstown or Paraparaumu to pick up projects. Rotorua is one of the many provincial cities in New Zealand where civic architecture has largely been created by those that don’t live there. In Rotorua, this was exaggerated by the peculiar role outside authorities, particularly the central government, have played in its development – it was unique in the Commonwealth in being a government-controlled town.

  • North Island Landscapes and Culture Educational Tour of New Zealand (9 Days)
    North Island Landscapes and Culture Educational Tour of New Zealand (9 days) Departs anytime (2021- 2022) New Zealand is a magical place with stunning natural beauty, world-class outdoor experiences, and some of the friendliest locals you are ever likely to meet. This 9-day educational trip of this remote South Pacific nation is specifically designed for students wishing to learn of the country’s rich Māori culture, its screensaver geographical wonders as well as learning of the country’s principal efforts at promoting indigenous rights and environmental issues. Beginning in Auckland, our trip will travel the entire length of the country’s North Island. It entails visits to Waitomo, (Middle Earth), the hot springs of Rotorua, Whirinaki Forest, Huka Falls and the Three Volcanoes region before arriving in the country’s capital city of Wellington. This trip will also afford us an insight into this progressive country’s political landscape and progressive social policies. Whilst fun and physical, this trip is also intended to be highly enjoyable and provide a very memorable introduction to the Land of The Long White Cloud. Billy Penfold Director www.studenteducationaladventures.com New Zealand – North Island Landscapes and Culture (9 days) Day 1 Arrive Auckland We will be greeted at Auckland International Airport with ‘Kia Ora’, the Māori word for welcome, which also means ‘have life’ and ‘be healthy’. Auckland is knowns as the pacific “City of Sails” and is home to the largest Polynesian community in the world. Our first visit this afternoon is to the dormant volcano at Mt Eden. It is here we climb to the top of the crater and learn about the geography of Auckland and her 48 volcanoes.
