    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.

    Whakatane Waimana Floodplain Management Strategy - Stage 1 Review of the Current Flood Hazard from the Whakatane and Waimana Rivers and Existing Responses

    Whakatane Waimana Floodplain Management Strategy - Stage 1 Review of the current flood hazard from the Whakatane and Waimana Rivers and existing responses Prepared by Robbin Britton, Project Engineer Environment Bay of Plenty Operations Publication 2008/09 June 2008 (updated from January 2007) 5 Quay Street P O Box 364 Whakatane NEW ZEALAND ISSN 1176 - 5550 Working with our communities for a better environment E mahi ngatahi e pai ake ai te taiao Environment Bay of Plenty i Foreword Concern for the security of the Whakatane and Waimana floodplains is the reason behind Environment Bay of Plenty’s preparation of a floodplain management strategy. This floodplain management strategy reviews what the flood hazards are in the floodplains, what flood protection is provided to people and property living on the floodplains and what, if any, additional protection needs to be provided. Floodplain management strategies are not the same as Civil Defence Emergency Management (CDEM) Plans. Under the Civil Defence Emergency Act 2002 each regional and local council must prepare plans detailing how they will manage catastrophic events such as volcanic eruptions, tsunami storms, earthquakes and fires. Construction of flood defences began in the catchment in 1965 and this was complete by the early 1980’s. Since that period components of the flood defence system have been reviewed but not all together. This floodplain management strategy reviews the flood protection system for the Whakatane Waimana catchment only. It identifies potential weaknesses in flood protection and plans for the ongoing security of future generations. The executive summary provides an overview of the report. Part one describes the nature of the floodplain, and the measures put in place to best manage floods of date.

The purpose of this report is to introduce the Nevis Valley, review and discuss the current values of the Valley and as a result demonstrate why the River should be completely protected from any potential hydro electric development. The Nevis Valley is commonly described as an isolated, open-spaced, golden landscape, scattered with remnants of past mining and farming settlements. These days the valley is utilized by a range of recreational uses such as, fishing, kayaking, four wheeled driving, and picnicking. More specifically, it is the solidarity and the outstanding back country landscape that anglers, both nationally and internationally have come to value highly. The river also provides the opportunity to see and catch trophy trout. These such values are what Otago Fish and Game Council are seeking to preserve.

ISBN: Published Prepared by Rachel Ozanne, Otago Regional Council Reviewed by Adam Uytendaal and Dean Olsen, Otago Regional Council Water Quality Study: Waiwera River Catchment i Technical summary The Waiwera River is a medium-sized river, which rises in the Wisp Range and flows in a northerly direction to its confluence with the Clutha River/Mata-Au downstream of Clydevale. The river is fed by rainfall of up to 1400mm per annum in the Kaihiku Ranges, while the lower catchment receives lower levels of rainfall (<700 mm per annum). The objectives of this report are to: • Assess water quality in the Waiwera Catchment and identify where Schedule 15 limits in the Regional Plan: Water (RPW) are exceeded. • Assess spatial and temporal patterns in water quality and to relate water quality patterns to land-use activities, where possible. • Assess in-stream habitat quality and macroinvertebrate communities. Most of the intensive farming in the lower Waiwera Catchment takes place on very poorly drained soils, farming in these areas would not be possible without the construction of extensive artificial drainage (tile drains) to convey water to the nearest watercourse, in the upper catchment to the west of the Kaihiku Ranges the land supports extensive sheep and beef grazing.

Water quality index ORC uses a water quality index (WQI) derived from medians of six indicator variables, turbidity, dissolved oxygen (percent saturation), ammonical nitrogen (NH4), nitrite-nitrate nitrogen (NNN), dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). Median values of the six values are compared with ANZECC (2000) and MfE/MoH (2003) guidelines, enabling classification of water quality into one of the four groups.

ISBN [get from Comms Team] Report writer: Dean Olsen, Manager, Resource Scientist Xiaofeng Lu, Resource Scientist, Hydrology Pete Ravenscroft, Environmental Resource Scientist, Freshwater Reviewed by: Maurice Duncan, NIWA Scientist Applied Hydrology Published [Dec 2017] Update of scientific information for the Arrow catchment i Technical summary The Arrow River (catchment area: 236 km²) is located in Central Otago. Its headwaters are in the Harris Mountains, and in the lower reaches it is bordered by the Crown Range; it flows in a south-east direction, joining the Kawarau River near the township of Arrowtown. The climate is typical of Central Otago being characterised by cold winters and warm, dry summers. There are 22 existing surface water takes in the Arrow River catchment, with a total allocation of 2.03m³/s, although the measured usage does not exceed 1 m3/s and the average take is approximately 0.55 m³/s. The objective of this report is to present the findings of further investigations into the hydrology, ecology, and irrigation practices of the Arrow catchment since the last published report on this topic in 2012 (Management flows for aquatic ecosystems in the Arrow River (2012).
