Pahiatua On the West side of State Highway 2 going North at Albert Street. In 1904 became a district high school with a designated secondary teacher. Secondary Department was in a side school at Hillcrest School. Ceased to be a District High School when Tararua College was formed in 1960. 1883-1885 1885 45 Pahiatua Yeats Duncan M Master £180 $32,738 1885 45 Pahiatua Sedcole Mary J Female Pupil Teacher £20 $3,638 31st January 1883 Wellington Education Board cost of building a new school at Pahiatua £280 25th April 183 In a long article on Pahiatua: the next question brought up was the school house and teacher’s residence!' meeting was of the opinion that since there were £200 available for a school-house, it addition to build a. teacher’s residence as well.- But it was evident that settlers would .subscribe funds if the amount was not available 30th May 1883 We are glad to note that our energetic Pahiatua friends have succeeded in inducing the Education Board to recognise their claim for a school and teacher's residence. Both structures are promised as soon as the land given, by the settlers is conveyed to the Board..[Mr McCardle gave the land] 30th July 1883 The sooner we have our school now the better. We are in good hopes that it will be ready by the latter end of spring. 28th November 1883 Mr McCardle’s offer of two acres for school site at Pahiatua was accepted with thanks 8th December 1883. Mr Wm. Bogle has offered to give an acre of land in Pahiatua, in a convenient position, for a school site, and a petition favouring the erection of a school upon it, has been largely signed by the settlers. Mr W. W. McCardle, has also promised a good site, comprising two acres, which has been accepted by the Education Board. It is probable that the choice of sites will be decided by a meeting of the settlers . 19th December 1883 Wellington Education Board In reply to a petition from Pahiatua, it was resolved that as soon as the site had been conveyed, the erection of a school would be considered. 3rd January 1884 A meeting of the settlers of Pahiatua was held on Monday evening last to take into consideration the question of the proposed new school for the district. A letter was read from Mr W. McCardle stating that matters in connection with the school were in a very forward state, the Education Board having accepted the site liberally offered by that gentleman, and I also decided to erect the necessary building* thereon. 29th January 1884 There is now a considerable population in the district and a school is much wanted. A site has been fixed but with the characteristic indolence of Wellington public bodies, no steps have yet been taken to erect a building. The site embraces an acre and three quarters at the eastern end of the township. 31st January 1884 Wellington Education Board Cost of school now £320 26th February 1884 Public meeting still discussing sites for a school. Mr McCardle said he would be pleased to have his land back 14th March 1884 Mr W. W. McCardle bad an interview with the chairman of the Education Board yesterday on the subject of opening a school at Pahiatua, and it having been explained that the settlers had already provided a building for the purpose, a promise was given that a master would be appointed at au date. This should be good news for patents in this new settlement. 27th March 1884 Wellington Education Board ho applications for new schools at the Camp and Pahiatua were ordered to stand over until next meeting, 1st May 1884 Wellington Education Board Mr W. W. McCardle waited on the board with reference to the Pahiatua School. The Chairman explained that Mr McCardle’s visit to the board was duo to the fact that the question had arisen whether it would be desirable to erect a school at Pahiatua. Mr McCardle submitted a plan of the township, pointing out the sections which he had given as a school site. In the course of his remarks, he stated that by the time the school was built, if it were commenced now, there would be about forty children in the locality. Further consideration of the matter was postponed. 17th June 1884 A school building will shortly be erected at Pahiatua (Woodville Examiner) 21st June 1884 The time for receiving tenders for the Pahiatua school is intended [Think that should be extended] till June 2nd The plans after this date will be at the Post Office Pahiatua, 22nd July 1884 We hear that the Pahiatua school building is “ knocked on the head,” and will not be gone on with meantime. 30th July 1884 Wellington Education Board On the motion of Mr. Beetham, it was resolved to call for fresh tenders for the erection of a school at Pahiatua, with altered specifications 13th September 1884 Pahiatua article included All the front sections on both sides except two have already been sold, and the township has quite a respectable appearance, there being a dozen' houses including the hotel, most conspicuous amongst them being the house just built for Mr. McCardle. Wo have also the prospect of a school in the near future, which is a want that is badly felt. To give you an idea of the progress made since February 1881, when the only resident was the groom at Macara's stables and roadman four miles distant, with nothing to be seen but dense bush ; there will be at the end of this fall roughly about 4500 acres of bush down, with a fixed population of 130 people. We have two general stores, and for industries we have Messrs. H. Mans and A. W. Sedcole , brickmakers, and J. H. Corbett, sawmiller. 26th September 1884 ho Wairarapa Star regrets to learn that the Education Board has utterly failed to appreciate the requirements of the population in the Forty-Mile bush. Instead of inviting tenders for a school capable of anticipating the growing necessities of a district that is adding rapidly to its population through the progress of settlement, they have prepared plans for what is termed a No. 1 school at Pahiatua. Such a building is little better than a whare. It consists of a schoolroom '2O feet [6.09 metres] by 20 feet, with a small room and kitchen attached for the teachers’ private accommodation. Forty children are said to be waiting the opening of the school. 26th September 1884 Wellington Education Board With regard to the school buildings to be erected at Pahiatua and Dalefield, the committee decided to call for improved plans and tenders 3rd October 1884 Fresh tenders are invited for the direction of schools at Pahiatua and Dalefield, and for repairs to the Eketahuna school, The plans of the Pahiatua school can be seen at this office, at the post office Pahiatua, of the Eketahuna School at the Daily office and post office Eketahuna, and of the Dalefield school at Mr Booth's store, Carterton, In the new Pahiatua plan the schoolroom is smaller than in the old one, but the building is larger as two living rooms are now included in the specification. 10th October 1884 For the third time tenders are called for the Pahiatua school. So much for centralisation. The Town Boards fail to grasp the requirements of country districts, hence the delay and frittering away of money in advertising three times what should have been done with once. I suppose the next delay will he, they, the Board, will discover this has not been constituted a school district, to all appearance this generation of children will have grown up by the time it is ready. 29th October 1884 Mr Sedcole is the successful tenderer for the erection of the Pahiatua School Cost £235 14th November 1884 Mr Ford, second assistant. teacher in the Masterton public" school, is reported by the Woodville Examiner" to be likely to have the offer of the new Pahiatua school 10th February 1885 A public meeting was held in the school room on Monday evening to consider the best means of opening the school, when it was finally resolved that the school be opened with a tea and concert in the evening, There being any quantity of talent, both local and musical in the district, the affair is likely to come off with éclat, the ladies having determined to do their level best. The gentlemen not to be outdone, have arranged to have a Working Bee on Saturday the 14th inst, after which is is expected the school ground will-look quite respectable. A committee was formed of those present to wait on those who were absent and persuade them either to work or pay a fair value in cash, and as it is not likely anyone will under-value himself, the committee will nett a nice 'little sum to assist the ladies in their labor of love, 14th February 1885 Teacher Pahiatua School ; salary, .£140 and £20 house allowance. 25th February 1885 Teacher, Pahiatua, five applicants, D M. Yeats 16th March 1885 A concert Is to be given at Pahiatua on the 24th inst,, in the connection with the school opening. The Masterton String' Band have promised their assistance and the members of it will take the lion's share of the programme 17th March 1885 PAHIATUA SCHOOL. OPENING CELEBRATION.

  • The 1934 Pahiatua Earthquake Sequence: Analysis of Observational and Instrumental Data

    221 THE 1934 PAHIATUA EARTHQUAKE SEQUENCE: ANALYSIS OF OBSERVATIONAL AND INSTRUMENTAL DATA Gaye Downes1' 2, David Dowrick1' 4, Euan Smith3' 4 and Kelvin Berryman1' 2 ABSTRACT Descriptive accounts and analysis of local seismograms establish that the epicentre of the 1934 March 5 M,7.6 earthquake, known as the Pahiatua earthquake, was nearer to Pongaroa than to Pahiatua. Conspicuous and severe damage (MM8) in the business centre of Pahiatua in the northern Wairarapa led early seismologists to name the earthquake after the town, but it has now been found that the highest intensities (MM9) occurred about 40 km to the east and southeast of Pahiatua, between Pongaroa and Bideford. Uncertainties in the location of the epicentre that have existed for sixty years are now resolved with the epicentre determined in this study lying midway between those calculated in the 1930' s by Hayes and Bullen. Damage and intensity summaries and a new isoseismal map, derived from extensive newspaper reports and from 1934 Dominion Observatory "felt reports", replace previous descriptions and isoseismal maps. A stable solution for the epicentre of the mainshock has been obtained by analysing phase arrivals read from surviving seismograms of the rather small and poorly equipped 1934 New Zealand network of twelve stations (two privately owned). The addition of some teleseismic P arrivals to this solution shifts the location of the epicentre by less than 10 km. It lies within, and to the northern end of, the MM9 isoseismal zone. Using local instrumental data larger aftershocks and other moderate magnitude earthquakes that occurred within 10 days and 50 km of the mainshock have also been located.

My name is Adam Douglas Canning. I am a Freshwater Ecologist and my credentials are presented in my Evidence in Chief (EiC). Response to questions asked to me by the commissioners in Memorandum 3 To Participants (15 May 2017). 2. “In respect of Figure 1 on page 4 of Mr Canning’s evidence: i) Whereabouts in the Mangatainoka River were the Figure 1 measurements made? ii) If that is the type of pattern that might be caused by the Pahiatua WWTP discharge, how far downstream might it extend?” i) The diurnal dissolved oxygen fluctuations depicted in Figure 1 were made above shortly above the confluence with the Makakahi River (40˚28’36”S, 175˚47’14”N) (Wood et al., 2015). Therefore, the readings are well above, and consequently unaffected by, the Pahiatua Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The readings should not be taken as depicting the impact of the WWTP. Rather they show that a) the Mangatainoka River is in poor ecological health well before the WWTP; b) that extreme diurnal fluctuations in dissolved oxygen can and do occur in the Mangatainoka River; and c) increased nutrient inputs by the WWTP would likely exacerbate existing diurnal fluctuations and further reduce ecological health (as explained in my EiC).

  • Life After Pahiatua

    Life After Pahiatua

    Life After Pahiatua On 1 November 1944 a total of 733 Polish children and their 105 guardians landed in Wellington Harbour. Together they had shared the fate of 1.7 million Poles who had been ethnically cleansed from their homes in eastern Poland under Stalin’s orders at the start of World War II and deported to forced-labour camps throughout the Soviet Union. Of those 1.7 million, 1 million died and 200,000 are still unaccounted for in Stalin’s genocide. This group of children, mostly orphaned or having lost family members, were the lucky ones and found eventual refuge in the Polish Children’s Camp in Pahiatua and a permanent home in New Zealand. These are the stories of their lives after the camp of how they successfully integrated and contributed to New Zealand society, more than repaying their debt to the country that offered them refuge and care in their time of need.

    New Zealand Families, Duty, and the First World War

    AN UNBROKEN CONNECTION? NEW ZEALAND FAMILIES, DUTY, AND THE FIRST WORLD WAR BY RACHEL PATRICK A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Victoria University of Wellington 2014. ii iii In loving memory of my father Ross Alexander Patrick, 6 May 1946 – 3 December 2013 iv v ABSTRACT This thesis explores the topic of families during the First World War through a single New Zealand family and its social networks. The family at the core of the thesis, the Stewarts, were a well-to-do Dunedin family who moved in the most exclusive circles of colonial society. As members of the elite, and as prominent figures in the leadership of wartime patriotic organisations, they conceived of their wartime role as one of public benevolence and modelling patriotic virtue for others. Yet, like countless other families, their personal lives were shattered by the war. Drawing upon the extensive records left behind by the Stewart family, as well as associated archives, the thesis advances a number of larger arguments. It is the overarching claim of this study that families – in their emotional, material and symbolic manifestations – formed an integral part of the war experience and provide a significant way of understanding this global event and its devastating human consequences. The Stewart family’s extensive surviving archive of personal correspondence provides a window into the innermost emotions, beliefs and values of the family’s individual members. Episodes in their wartime lives shape the wider thesis themes: the impact of family separations, grief and bereavement, religious faith, duty and patriotism, philanthropy, the lingering shadow of war disability – and the inflection of all of these by gender and class.
