The Year 12 student said it felt special to be acknowledged for his efforts and work. “Coming second always has mixed emotions following it,” he says. “There is that small feeling of regret and train of thought which prompts you to think about what you could have done better. But at the same time, you really can’t complain, and it still feels rewarding nonetheless.” Mairangi won the Gisborne/Wairoa regional final in April after presenting a powerful speech on the topic Kia kotahi te hoe - Paddle as one, where he used waka ama as an analogy for how Aotearoa is moving forward with race unity. That qualified him for the semifinals from which six speakers advanced to the national final. “One of the cool things about this event was that while they had the speech competition to compete in, they also had a hui on Saturday where all the competitors and others could collaborate and share their ideas and perspective on racial unity and tolerance,” he said. Competitors got to meet one another before the semifinals on Friday night. On arriving at the venue at the Manukau Institute of Technology they settled in and split into three groups of seven, with two from each progressing to the final.

  • 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.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, meanwhile, has demanded a full independent look at political donation laws.
