Hi Tung Jung Members Trust this newsletter finds you all well. In the past few months in Wellington, we have experienced a huge storm with wind gusts exceeding the Wahine storm and causing much damage and disruption to our city. On top of this we were hit with a number of earthquakes which really shook us up and left us wondering when the proverbial Big One would come. It was however good for the supermarkets because everyone stocked up on bottled water, candles, canned foods, batteries and torches. OK for some? Midwinter Seniors’ Yum Cha In June the Association held a Midwinter Seniors Yum Cha at Dragon Restaurant. It was well attended by over 60 members. -

A large number of Ngāi Tūpoto whānau gathered recently to mark the return of the former Motukaraka Dairy Factory lands as part of the Te Rarawa settlement. The weekend included a hīkoi around the rohe and a visit to the factory which opened in 1907 and closed in 1958. The factory supported dozens of small Māori dairy farms across the Hokianga in its day.

Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school. -

Navigating the Waka of Māori Community Development
New Zealand Journal of History, 49, 1 (2015) Navigating The Waka Of Māori Community Development PANGURU, ‘THE MAORI AFFAIRS’ AND ANTHROPOLOGY IN THE 1950S BETWEEN 1954 AND 1957, THE PEOPLE OF PANGURU in North Hokianga participated in a community development experiment administered by the Department of Maori Affairs. The Panguru Community Development Pilot Project, as it was officially named, was initiated by John Booth, the first anthropologist employed by the department.1 The project signalled an experimental policy shift away from individualistic ‘land development’ to collective ‘people development’. Although the project was a one-off, ‘tri-anthropological’ engagement was not new; throughout the early and mid-twentieth century, anthropology established a role in determining the pace and shape of the state’s assimilation policy, as well as in Māori efforts to revitalize tribal economies. The Panguru project provides a unique window into Māori negotiations with anthropology and the state. At the heart of this complex interaction was a clash of world views about what a ‘modern Maori community’ could and should have been in the 1950s. Although the state increasingly managed the processes of assimilation within the frame of modernity, such a view was peripheral if not irrelevant to the people of Panguru. Their participation in the project highlights how the leaders and people of Panguru took advantage of what they believed were the most beneficial features of the project. They sought control of their land, resources and economic futures, as well as access to modern technology and ideas. Examining their experience shows how Māori people – at both community and national levels – worked with the state and New Zealand’s emergent anthropological community, and negotiated anthropological theory in order to achieve divergent goals in the mid-twentieth century. -
Through Changing Scenes by K. Abercrombie Wesley Historical
Through Changing Scenes by K. Abercrombie Rawene Church 1956 Wesley Historical Society (NZ) Publication #15 (1) 1956 Page 1 Through Changing Scenes by K. Abercrombie Introduction This compilation of the Rawene Methodist Church's first eighty years may differ from other such histories. Believing that history can be a pleasure I have minimised the use of "dates" which often tend to bore the reader. Rather I have stressed the triumphs and setbacks of the people-who after all, are the Church. It will be seen that the story often concerns the whole circuit. This has been done because while gathering information about Rawene, much concerned the circuit as a whole. Rather than let it pass into oblivion I have included it in this account. Much of the information in this booklet came not from manuscripts, but from people, and I wish to thank the following who provided much valuable information: The Revs. H. A. Cochrane, D. G. Sherson, B.A., R. Grice, C. B. Oldfield, A. W. McKay, J. W. Parker, and H. Bateup (former ministers of the Hokianga circuit), the Revs. G. I. Laurenson, E. W. Hames, M.A., and H. L. Fiebig, B.A. (Connexional Secretary), Miss N. E. Bawden, Messrs. Geo. Pearson, T. G. M. Spooner, M.A., K. Langton (photographs), G. F. G. Millar and T. P. Lane. This book has been made possible by the members of the Rawene Methodist Church Trust (Rev. H. D. Besant, B.A., Miss N. E. Bawden, Messrs. D. E. Fletcher, F. 0. J. Langton and Geo. Pearson). I extend my sincere thanks to Miss C. -

Huia Water Treatment Plant Replacement Questions and Answers
Huia Water Treatment Plant replacement Questions and answers Updated: May 2019 Introduction Planning is underway to build a water treatment plant and two storage reservoirs in Waima, west Auckland. The treatment plant will replace an existing plant that was built in 1928 and is reaching the end of its operational life. As with the existing plant, the new plant will treat water from four dams in the Waitãkere Ranges. The water produced by the plant will feed into Auckland’s metropolitan water supply network, meeting up to 20 per cent of the city’s water needs. The primary objective of the project is to replace the ageing plant. In doing so, we will ensure the continued resilience of Auckland’s metropolitan water supply network. This network is served by five treatment plants, numerous reservoirs and pump stations, and a highly-connected network of pipes. It means that if one treatment plant has an operational issue, the other treatment plants can meet the city’s water needs. Huia Water Treatment Plant is a vital part of this network. The new plant will offer more advanced treatment processes and will be easier to operate and maintain than the current plant. It will be carefully laid out to ensure service vehicles can move around the site safely and staff can access each treatment process safely and easily. We have grouped the questions and answers under the following general headings: • Fast facts • What is happening in 2019 • Location • Construction effects • Mitigation • Community engagement • Running the replacement plant and reservoirs. Fast facts • The ageing treatment plant is nearly 100 years old and needs replacing.
