Its land area of over 600 square kilometres dominates the southern part of the Auckland Region. I The territorial integrity of the district, which stretches from the edge of the Auckland isthmus in the north to the Hunua ranges in the South, is interrupted only by the local authority enclaves of Papatoetoe City and 0tahuhu and Howick I Boroughs. The Manukau City Centre, 25 km south of Auckland Centre, is the natural geographical focus of the city's urban area . When fully developed the urban area I will stretch out from the Centre southwards to Manurewa and Takanini, northeastwards to Otara and Pakuranga and northwest to Mangere. Two-thirds of the City's land area is in rural use, ranging from dairy and town milk supply I units to pastoral farming, horticulture and forestry . A distinctive feature of the district is its extensive coastline of 320 km.

    www.papakuracourier.co.nz Wednesday, October 27, 2010 Theft reignites grief By HINERANGI VAIMOSO IT’S been two years since members of Aaron Hubbard Tarry’s family first mourned his death. But their grief resurfaced this month after relatives arrived at Papakura South Cemetery to find his head- stone damaged and items, including a 22-inch mag wheel, missing. Aaron, 21, was well known in the Papakura district and took his life in July 2009. His family unveiled the headstone with inscriptions of love and remembrance embossed across it a year later. Laying across the grave were fluffy dice, the grille from a Mitsubishi VR-4 – Aaron’s last project before his death – a steering wheel and a big blue ceramic fish from one of the younger family members, dad Doug Tarry says. A 22-inch mag wheel was embedded in the top of the marble headstone to indicate Aaron’s passion for building and driving cars, brother Reece says. Another 17-inch chrome mag also adorned the grave. The chrome mag and the steering wheel were taken just over a week ago. The 22-inch mag was also chiselled off and stolen. Sitting in the centre of the mag was a picture of Aaron which was later found face-up on the stone fence along Gat- land Rd. The steering wheel was Desecrated: Reece Hubbard Tarry is ‘‘gutted’’ thieves have stolen a 22-inch mag wheel and other items from his brother Aaron’s grave in Papakura South Cemetery. also located.

    “They didn’t care about normal kids like me” Restructuring a school to fit the kids “Nga Hau e Wha” by Chey Milne A thesis submitted as partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Educational Administration, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Ann Milne 2004 i Declaration I declare that this thesis, ―They didn‘t care about normal kids like me‖ - Restructuring a school to fit the kids, represents my own work, except where due acknowledgement is made, and that it has not been previously included in a thesis, dissertation or report submitted to this University or to any other institution for a degree, diploma or other qualification. Signed: _____________________ Ann Milne Date: _________________ ii For the kids … For my grandchildren, Chey, Blake, Georgia, Kairangi, Koha, Kaya, Zion, Maioha and Mahina, who keep reminding me how important it is to be Maori everywhere in their lives & For the kids at Clover Park Middle School who show us the way to our future iii Abstract Towards the end of 2000 a group of young Maori, formerly students in Clover Park Middle School‘s bilingual unit up to Year 9 or 10, approached the school to ask if they could return to the Maori learning environment where they felt they had been successful. They reported they had been unable to feel this way again in any of their respective senior secondary school settings. In the process of explaining why he felt he hadn‘t fitted into his school, one young man said, ―They didn‘t care about normal kids like me.‖ For him, being Maori was ―normal‖ and he didn‘t see anything in his senior secondary schooling experience that valued his reality.
