  • Janice Vermeulen Janice Yes, We Can Excel Against the Odds! Yes, We Can Excel
    2010 Janice Vermeulen Janice Yes, we can excel against the odds! Yes, we can excel Education is like gold – wealth you cannot buy; Our children - the golden future. Janice Vermeulen [photo and quote] Weymouth Primary School Making a difference at our school. The impact of policy making on the governance and management in the leadership of a New Zealand primary school. PURPOSE During my sabbatical leave, I explored how policy making impacts on the various dimensions in leading a school: making a difference; in raising student achievement; in excelling against the odds. I researched how policy decisions in the United Kingdom in Tower Hamlets shaped education and student achievement. I reflected on how this decision making has led to an underachieving area raising student achievement, especially in a high ESOL and transient community. I reflected on what correlations there were and what initiatives would benefit our own school community. Ministry of Education policy making has largely shaped what, and how, I have led a school. Working within a number of Ministry of Education Initiatives to raise student achievement, I have had to constantly reflect on various ways to work within in the frameworks of these initiatives to lead a school in achieving better results for students. I am now reflecting on how policy making can further challenge me as a leader of a school to move from low student achievement results to a high performing school. PROFILES: MY PROFILE I am in my tenth year as a Principal of a primary school in New Zealand. I am presently the Principal of Weymouth Primary School in Manurewa, South Auckland.

  • Plant Breeding at Auckland Botanic Gardens©
    Plant breeding at Auckland Botanic Gardens© J. Hobbsa and E. Bodley Auckland Botanic Gardens, 102 Hill Road, Manurewa 2105, Auckland, New Zealand. INTRODUCTION Auckland Botanic Gardens (ABG) has a long history of plant breeding. It is best known for developing the ‘Wiri’ series of Hebe and Leptospermum, and has worked collaboratively with Dr. Keith Hammett on crops including Dahlia. The stated objective of ABG is to ‘Engage people with plants and gardens.’ To this end it actively promotes sustainable gardening practices including recommending plants suitable for Auckland conditions, and we practice and advocate a minimal spray regime. ABG promotes plants that perform to a high standard in Auckland conditions without applications of insecticides and fungicides. Trials are undertaken to ascertain the best performing plants according to criteria that includes flowering periods, foliage and habit, and general plant health. The very best of the are labelled “Star Performers”, and these are featured in display gardens and promoted to the public on the ABG website, social media, printed material and on plant labels. Many popular groups of garden plants include numerous cultivars that were not primarily bred for garden performance. Some such as dahlias, camellias, daffodils, chrysanthemums, and many others were bred to produce exhibition quality flowers for the show bench. Numerous ornamental commercial crops have been bred to produce flowers on young compact plants that have high aesthetic appeal at point of sale. This is an understandable commercial imperative, but it does not necessarily result in plants that perform well in gardens. In fact it often diminishes garden performance as evidence by popular crops such as many compact perennials and precocious annuals that are flowering when purchased but not for much longer.
