Wayne Trevor Agnew praised Andrew’s personal enthusiasm reflected in his Te Tai Tamariki Te Tai Tamariki (Aotearoa New Zealand Children’s Literature Charitable Trust) is a proposed national centre set up to collect, preserve and promote New Zealand’s children’s literature Our country has produced many world-renowned authors, artists and illustrators over the decades. It is the original manuscripts, illustrations and other media of these New Zealanders that we want to protect for the future. In this treasure house, which is already building a fine collection, there will be artists’ roughs, completed artwork, reference material and original manuscripts. Schools will be provided for, with displays and teaching material relevant to the visual literacy area of the school curriculum. We celebrate the best of everything that goes into the writing and illustration of children’s books, including educational publishing. Te Tai Tamariki will bring children, writers and illustrators together in a unique environment of art and literature. Te Tai Tamariki is supported by Storylines, and our own Margaret Mahy, Gavin Bishop, Joy Cowley and many other Kiwi authors, illustrators, publishers and book retailers. The Trust Board currently comprises a group of keen professionals in the field of children’s literature. This is our chance to save a literary heritage for our children and grandchildren. There is no archive of manuscripts and illustrations of children’s literature in New Zealand, and we really need a facility to store these items under international standards of humidity and temperature. The Trust is always fundraising for a centre and hopes to identify a site soon. Our third exhibition Off the Page, featuring Ruth Paul, Jenny Cooper, Fraser Williamson, Ali Teo and Gavin Bishop, has just ended at COCA in Christchurch. An education programme was run alongside the display with over 180 school children participating in storytellings and hands-on workshops with some of the featured illustrators. A follow-up response exhibition is due to commence featuring the children’s artworks created in these workshops. Kim Dovey How can you help? Publishers can give financial support or sponsorship, or donate proofs and manuscripts to the collection. Authors and illustrators can offer the use of work for fundraising ventures, or donate roughs, sketches and manuscripts. Booksellers can stock the annual fundraising calendar. The public can buy the Te Tai Tamariki calendar at their local bookshop. If you have ideas, or would like to become a trustee or friend of Te Tai Tamariki, please contact Aotearoa New Zealand Children’s Literature Trust PO Box 25 216, Christchurch Ph 03 366 5274, Fax 03 366 4506, email [email protected] Page 2 What’s the Story May 2009 www.storylines.org.nz Off the Page… While in Christchurch for the Storylines Margaret Mahy Day, many out-of-towners took the opportunity to explore Te Tai Tamariki’s Off the Page exhibition, held at COCA. As the publicity material stated, it was indeed larger than life with illustrations by Gavin Bishop, Jenny Cooper, Ruth Paul, Ali Teo and Fraser Williamson leaping off the page and around the walls. The use of wall decals brought a sense of movement and fun to the already vibrant artwork. My personal favourite must be Gavin Bishop’s Rats, carefully placed on either side of one painting, one on each end of a rope. While we were there, we watched children and families explore the area. Having the books available to read, and appealing furniture to curl up in to do so, made the area even more children-friendly, and childlike. Bravo to all involved! I hope there are many more exhibitions to come. Annie Coppell Margaret and Elsie in bronze Our beloved Margaret Mahy – we think quite rightly! – is the central figure, and activist/writer Elsie Locke also included in the new ‘Local Heroes’ project recently unveiled in Christchurch.

  • The Writing Life Twelve New Zealand Authors DEBORAH SHEPARD
    Intelligent, relevant books for intelligent, inquiring readers The Writing Life Twelve New Zealand Authors DEBORAH SHEPARD CANDID CONVERSATIONS WITH 12 WRITERS WHO HELPED SHAPE NEW ZEALAND LITERATURE A unique, candid and intimate survey of the life and work of 12 of our most acclaimed writers: Patricia Grace, Tessa Duder, Owen Marshall, Philip Temple, David Hill, Joy Cowley, Vincent O’Sullivan, Albert Wendt, Marilyn Duckworth, Chris Else, Fiona Kidman and Witi Ihimaera. Constructed as Q&As with experienced oral historian Deborah Shepard, they offer a marvellous insight into their careers. As a group they are now the ‘elders’ of New Zealand literature; they forged the path for the current generation. Together the authors trace their publishing and literary history from 1959 to 2018, through what might now be viewed as a golden era of publishing into the more unsettled climate of today. They address universal themes: the death of parents and loved ones, the good things that come with ageing, the components of a satisfying life, and much more. And they give advice on writing. The book has an historical continuity, showing fruitful and fascinating links $49.99 between individuals who have negotiated the same literary terrain for more than sixty years. To further honour them are magnificent photo portraits by CATEGORY: New Zealand Non Fiction distinguished photographer John McDermott, commissioned by the publisher ISBN: 978-0-9951095-3-7 for this project. eISBN: n/a ABOUT THE AUTHOR BIC: BGL, DSK, 1MBN BISAC: LCO020000, BIO007000 Deborah Shepard is an author, teacher of memoir, oral historian and film PUBLISHER: Massey University Press and art historian.

    CHRISTCHURCH COLLEGE OF EDUCATION LIBRARY A HISTORY OF MUSIC EDUCATION IN NEW ZEALAND STATE PRIMARY AND INTERMEDIATE SCHOOLS 1878-1989 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Canterbury by Susan P. Braatvedt B.A. (Natal), Dip.Arts (Auckland), B.A.Rons (Canterbury) VOLUME II University of Canterbury 2002 Chapter Five 1950-1968 266 The growth ofschool music Chapter Five 1950 -1968 The growth of school music "music is fmnly established as an integral part of the school curriculum."l 5.1 Introduction This 18-year period was dominated by the National Party except for one term when Labour was voted back into office from 1958? When the National Party took office in December 1949, they inherited an educational system in which school music had not been particularly well served. Robert Chapman comments: The underlying changes in the golden 1960s were social rather than political, technological rather than legislative, individual rather than public ....The tertiary education boom, television, and the contraceptive pill were transforming family and personal relationships as well as the method by which politics were perceived. Government expenditure underwrote the surging development of health and education ... 3 In chapter one section 1.2 it was pointed out that the influence of English music education endured for many years. It is in this period that we begin to see a development of a more innovative approach which was more eclectic in its character. 1 AE. Campbell, Director-General of Education, AJHR.

  • Storylines Margaret Mahy Medal Lecture 2020
    Storylines Margaret Mahy Medal Lecture 2020 Presented online 6 September 2020 Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, bula, talofa, fakalofa lahi aut, kia orana, malo e lelei. You might be looking at what I’m wearing and wondering why I’m dressed in Victorian clothes. This outfit came about when the Scholastic team, illustrator Marco Ivancic and I were thinking of ideas for the front cover of a book we were working on. Marco drew a rough of how the main character should stand but it wasn’t quite the posture we were looking for. So, I threw on a long skirt and asked my husband to take a photo of me holding a pen in my hand. Penny Scown from Scholastic had the same idea and did a similar pose, which helped Marco draw the hand from different angles. It gave me the idea to dress like the main character at the book launch. My good friend Mary Kelleher made the outfit and here is Penny Scown and myself at the book launch of… have you guessed it?… Kate Sheppard. The reason I’ve worn it today is to show you the lengths I go to, to make my stories real for children. I’m not the only author who does – you might have seen Fifi Colston or Gareth Ward dressed in their steampunk costumes, and there are others. I write non-fiction books about historical events, famous people, and our wildlife in a creative way. Part of that is bringing it alive, whether it’s dressing the part or getting kids to act it out with me – or using props.

  • Theatre Royal Including All of That Part of the Building
    CHRISTCHURCH CITY PLAN – LISTED HERITAGE PLACE HERITAGE ASSESSMENT – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE HERITAGE ITEM NUMBER 222 THEATRE ROYAL INCLUDING ALL OF THAT PART OF THE BUILDING SOUTH OF THE PROSCENIUM ARCH BUT EXCLUDING THE NEW PART OF THE BUILDING ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE SEISMIC WALL AND SETTING - 145 GLOUCESTER STREET, CHRISTCHURCH PHOTOGRAPH: M.VAIR-PIOVA, 5/12/2014 HISTORICAL AND SOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE Historical and social values that demonstrate or are associated with: a particular person, group, organisation, institution, event, phase or activity; the continuity and/or change of a phase or activity; social, historical, traditional, economic, political or other patterns. The Theatre Royal, including all of that part of the building south of the proscenium arch but excluding the new part of the building on the eastern side of the seismic wall, has high historical and social significance as an important performance venue in Christchurch for more than a century. The alterations to the building and its changes of use reflect the changing nature and fortunes of entertainment in the city over the last hundred years. The theatre was built for a syndicate headed by theatre impresario J. C. Williamson, and opened on 25 February 1908. The size of the building, originally seating 1,240, suggests the popularity of theatre at the time. The building is the third in Gloucester Street to carry the name. Williamson was an American who settled in Australia, founding his company in 1879; many of the better productions which toured Australasia from the late nineteenth until the mid-twentieth centuries travelled were through Williamson.

The @settlement's early colonists lugged ashore libraries, musical instruments, paints, Samuel Butler William Pember Reeves easels and plans for a grammar school and university. Within the first decade they Edith Grossmann started a newspaper, founded choral and orchestral societies, staged plays and Jessie Mackay started a public library. A surprising number of these pioneers were competent Arnold Wall writers. The published memoirs, letters, journals and poetry left by Charlotte Godley, Blanche Bau han Edward and Crosbie Ward, James FitzGerald, Henry Sewell, Sarah Courage, Laurence Johannes An 8ersen Kennaway, Lady Barker, Samuel Butler and other "pilgrims" established a robust Mary Ursula Bethell literary tradition in Canterbury, particularly in non-fiction and poetry.
