My Fair Lady was simply George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion both delighted and scandalized its first audiences spectacular in 1914. A brilliantly witty reworking of the classical tale of a sculptor who falls in love with his perfect female statue. Pygmalion is named after the Cypriot King from Greek mythology who fell in love with his own creation: an ivory statue called ‘Galatea’. When he fell in love with Galatea, the Goddess Aphrodite brought the statue to life and Pygmalion married her. As well as reflecting Shaw’s feminist views, Pygmalion provides a commentary on the class system which may not be so irrelevant today! Henry Higgins believes he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl, into a Duchess at ease in ‘polite’ society by changing the way she speaks. However, his ‘creation’ has a mind of her own and a battle of wills begins that challenges them both in unexpected ways. my By the time Lerner and Leowe’s musical adaptation of Pygmalion, My Fair Lady, ended its New York run in 1962, it had run six and a half years and for 2,717 performances, more than any other previous musical in stage history. In London, the show had a five and a half year run of 2,281 performances with New York’s fair original cast members, Rex Harrison, Julie Andrews and Stanley Holloway.

There was so much material for the last edition that we decided to do an extra one. For me this is a sign of the dynamism and energy in our diocese and a reflection of all the wonderful things that are going on. It is one of the blessings of being the bishop that I get to see so many of the things that are happening and am able to participate in some of them. At a time when we can be inclined to think that faith is not important to people, we have so many witnessing to and working to support others within and beyond our community.

  • Opportunities for Private Jets at Invercargill Airport
    OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRIVATE JETS AT INVERCARGILL AIRPORT We believe Invercargill Airport has the capacity, infrastructure, location and determination to be the Airport of choice for private jet operations in the South. Invercargill Airport has New Zealand’s third longest runway and has one of the highest airport availabilies in New Zealand. The airport is a modern facility (upgraded in June 2016) which is well supported by the excellent aviation infrastructure, training facilities, and offers space to park private jets of all sizes. Aviation Environment Southland has one of the largest low traffic airspace in New Zealand, with Air Traffic Control provided at Invercargill Airport. Southland is blessed with stunning scenery. In flying terms, this translates to a variety of terrain, ranging from gently rolling pasture and hill country to rugged coastlines, alpine lakes, snow-capped mountains and complex alpine terrain. The landscape is accompanied by a wide range of weather conditions, from beautiful clear sunny days in summer and winter, to cold, blustery conditions. In almost all conditions Invercargill Airport remains open to service its customers. Southland’s daylight hours are another blessing for aviators. In summer, daylight begins as early as 5am while the evening twilight extends as late as 10.30pm, which translates to an incredible 16 hours flying time. This provides long, lower risk opportunities to use the Airport aviation facilities. On a dark, clear night, it is possible to witness the world-famous Aurora Australis (Southern Lights). This magical atmospheric condition is like a spectacular light show in the night sky. It occurs when particles from the sun interact with the earth’s magnetic field - the resulting electric charge makes the gases in the atmosphere glow red, yellow and green.

  • Full Guidelines for Granting Preference
    GUIDELINES FOR THE GRANTING OF PREFERENCE OF ENROLMENT IN NEW ZEALAND CATHOLIC SCHOOLS Updated by the New Zealand Catholic Bishops Conference, November 2018 Introduction These guidelines aim to assist agents of the Bishops who have responsibility for granting of preference. It is hoped that the guidelines will assist you in interpreting the preference criteria and understanding our vision of the significant role parishes and schools have in working cooperatively on the evangelisation and faith formation of students and parents. The Bishops of New Zealand wish to endorse and affirm the value of Catholic primary and secondary schools in the mission of the Church and as a fulfilment of Canon 217: All those baptised into the Catholic Church have a right to Catholic education. The legal obligations of the Proprietor Schedule 6, Cl 26 of the Education and Training Act 2020 states: Preference of enrolment – “The children of parents who have a particular or general philosophical or religious connection with a State integrated school must be preferred to other children for enrolment at the school.” The standard clause in the Integration Agreement of Catholic Schools states: “Preference of enrolment at the school under Schedule 6, Cl 26 of the Education and Training Act 2020 * shall be given to only to those children whose parents have established a particular or general religious connection with the Special Character of the School and the Controlling Authority shall not give preference of enrolment to parents of any child unless the Proprietor has stated that those parents have established such a particular or general religious connection with the Special Character of the school.” (*Actual reference in Integration Agreements is to the PSCI Act 1975.
