Many years before the war, it was proposed in the Southlandian Bruce, C. F. Lythgoe, C. G. A. Nicholson, J. R. M. Sutton, R.G. that a tradition should be founded by which a boy on leaving was expected Calder, G. D. McChesney, T. Nimmo, R. A. Thompson, R. L. to donate Dorman, T. E. McFarlane, D. M. Reid, R. W. A. Uttley, L. M. a volume of any kind to the library. In the light of this year's drive for books Edie, E. G. MacGibbon, J. Robinson, T. 0. the failure to carry on this tradition is seen. Had this been Hannah, E. C. McGrath, P. H. Stewart, L. R. done, we would have possessed by now, one of the finest school libraries in VIB. New Zealand. But "it is never too late to mend," and the tradition might Adam, W. T. Good, J. K. Morgan, W. J. Springford, F. W. well be renewed. The second suggestion has been dealt with before finality but Baird, A. B. Hickin, R. J. Nevin, G.D. Taylor, J. J. has not been reached. Is it not time that an Old Boys' Day was Brass, D. M.

  • Dan Davin Re-Visited
    40 Roads Around Home: Dan Davin Re-visited Denis Lenihan ‘And isn’t history art?’ ‘An inferior form of fiction.’ Dan Davin: The Sullen Bell, p 112 In 1996, Oxford University Press published Keith Ovenden’s A Fighting Withdrawal: The Life of Dan Davin, Writer, Soldier, Publisher. It is a substantial work of nearly 500 pages, including five pages of acknowledgements and 52 pages of notes, and was nearly four years in the making. In the preface, Ovenden makes the somewhat startling admission that ‘I believed I knew [Davin] well’ but after completing the research for the book ‘I discovered that I had not really known him at all, and that the figure whose life I can now document and describe in great detail remains baffingly remote’. In a separate piece, I hope to try and show why Ovenden found Davin retreating into the distance. Here I am more concerned with the bricks and mortar rather than the finished structure. Despite the considerable numbers of people to whom Ovenden spoke about Davin, and the wealth of written material from which he quotes, there is a good deal of evidence in the book that Ovenden has an imperfect grasp of many matters of fact, particularly about Davin’s early years until he left New Zealand for Oxford in 1936. The earliest of these is the detail of Davin’s birth. According to Ovenden, Davin ‘was born in his parents’ bed at Makarewa on Monday 1 September 1913’. Davin’s own entry in the 1956 New Zealand Who’s Who records that he was born in Invercargill.

    Statistics New Zealand estimated the population of Invercargill in 2013 at 53,200. Following its medium projection, the population is anticipated to peak at 56,300 in the 2028-2033 period. All figures are GST exclusive unless otherwise stated. 2018-2028 Invercargill introduced 1 Extending from Makarewa in the north to Bluff in the south, Kennington in the east and Oreti Beach in the west, the Invercargill district encompasses an area of 49,142 hectares. Landscape features of importance to the community include Bluff Hill (Motopuhue) and an extensive network of waterways which bisect the District. The urban areas of Invercargill and Bluff contain extensive areas of open space as well as distinct heritage buildings. The District’s coastal location provides a mild climate with long summer daylight hours and defined seasonal variations. The average annual temperature is 9.9°c with 1,614 sunshine hours. Rainfall averages 1,112mm/year and is spread evenly throughout the year. 2018 - 2028 2 Long-Term Plan Mayors Comment Greetings and many thanks to the 440 submitters who made the effort to express their views on Councils direction over the next 10 years. The development of this Long-term Plan has highlighted both to the Council and also to the Community the large number of projects planned for the City and how the resources required for the day to day running of our existing facilities and infrastructure need to be balanced. From Room 5 at Makarewa School, to members of our world-class facility, and have planned for an additional Community well into their golden years, the quality of pool at Splash Palace following our upgrade of a new submissions and passion of submitters has had a real hydroslide.

  • FROM POTHOLES to POLICY: How Invercargill City Council Informs Itself Of, and Has Regard To, the Views of All of Its Communities
    FROM POTHOLES TO POLICY: How Invercargill City Council informs itself of, and has regard to, the views of all of its communities Janette Malcolm School of Geography, E nvironment and Earth Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington Wellington, ew Zealand Submitted in partial fulfilment of the Master of D evelopment Studies D egree JULY 2008 Abstract In the 1990s, governments in the Western world were seeking solutions to the economic and social dysfunction resulting from a decade of pure neo-liberal policies. Increased inequalities in the distribution of wealth, the promotion of individualism at the expense of community and citizens feeling alienated from government had become critical problems, nowhere more so than in New Zealand. A solution that has been adopted is to reconnect government at all levels with citizens and the civic sector. The good governance agenda proposed increased transparency and accountability of government to citizens, and a new role for citizens as participants and partners. It became the foundation for a fundamental reform of local government in New Zealand, resulting in the Local Government Act 2002. However, the acquisition of a right to participate does not necessarily lead to knowledge of that right and the capacity to exercise it on the part of citizens: nor the willingness to allow it on the part of government. There are also more general questions about the exercise of power, about representation and about whose voices are heard. This thesis, through a case study of Invercargill City Council, a local government authority in Southland, New Zealand, examines these issues relating to citizen participation and the extent to which the Council has been able to create an environment and processes that enable all of its communities to participate.
