It’s certainly a time of excitement and interest as VNZ launches the NVL with an online draft format for our top men’s and women’s athletes on Monday April 26th. Coaches are busy reviewing the over 200 athletes that have registered for the draft. With confirmed venues in Auckland (YMCA, Auckland Central) for June 26-27 and Christchurch (Pioneer Stadium) July 10-11, this is a marvellous opportunity for the NZ community to see top volleyball in our own country and I encourage those living close to those centres to support our athletes and the event in person.

  • Penrose.DOC 2
    Peka Totara Penrose High School Golden Jubilee 1955 –2005 Graeme Hunt Inspiration from One Tree Hill The school crest, a totara in front of the obelisk marking the grave of ‘father of Auckland’ Sir John Logan Campbell on One Tree Hill (Maungakiekie), signals the importance of the pa and reserve to Penrose High School. It was adopted in 1955 along with the Latin motto, ‘Ad Altiora Contende’, which means ‘strive for higher things’. Foundation principal Ron Stacey, a Latin scholar, described the school in 1955 as a ‘young tree groping courageously towards the skies’. ‘We look upward towards the summit of Maungakiekie where all that is finest in both Maori and Pakeha is commemorated for ever in stone and bronze,’ he wrote. In 1999 a red border was added to the crest but the crest itself remained unchanged. In 1987 the school adopted a companion logo based on the kiekie plant which grew on One Tree Hill in pre-European times (hence the Maungakiekie name). The logo arose from a meeting of teachers debating education reform where the school’s core values were identified. The words that appear on the kiekie logo provide a basis for developing the school’s identity. The kiekie, incorporated in the school’s initial charter in 1989, does not replace the crest but rather complements it. School prayer† School hymn† Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, Go forth with God! We pray that you will bless this school, Go forth with God! the day is now Guide and help those who teach, and those who learn, That thou must meet the test of youth: That together, we may seek the truth, Salvation's helm upon thy brow, And grow in understanding of ourselves and other people Go, girded with the living truth.

It’s a great pleasure for NIWA to support this outstanding event once again, and we congratulate all the students, parents, teachers and supporters who have worked so hard to ensure its success. NIWA Science & Technology Fairs are a wonderful opportunity for students to showcase their talent and enthusiasm for science, and to gain recognition for their excellence and innovation. Across the country, thousands of students have been involved in researching, constructing and presenting exhibits. Participation is on its own a powerful learning tool, but above all else they should be fun. Naturally, NIWA has a vested interest in nurturing a passion for science and technology among young New Zealanders. Enhancing knowledge in NIWA’s key areas of scientific focus – the atmosphere, the ocean, and freshwater – is critical to the sustainable growth of New Zealand as a nation. We need fresh enquiring minds to maintain this momentum.
