While faced with challenges earlier in the project we've now seen the southern part of the current parking lot being partially opened for public use, while footpath work continues. There had been discussion on the size of the parking spaces in the parking lot, but these were tested by staff and the issue addressed on Council's Pictured above: Part of the carpark in Leith Place is now open for users.

  • 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.

I believe that we will cooperate to get rid of any kind of hatred and racism. Racism speech is now not free speech. Manar Azzam speaking at the Putaruru Vigil. Humanity is like one body. If any part of that body is injured the whole body feels it and this is the demonstration I see today. That body was New Zealand and the people of New Zealand. Islam means peace - to be at peace with everything and everyone. One of the problems we are facing is the misrepresentation of people and their faith because the media want to present a form of ideology.

INSIDE THIS ISSUE • Business Productivity & Wellbeing • School News • Club and Puzzle Pages • PiP 2021 Business Awards • On-Line Perception 20 25 29 29 THE NEW ZEALAND TIMBER MUSEUM: WHAT PRICE HISTORY? The New Zealand Timber Museum has attracted social media attention recently The Archives include maps, photographs, documents and items relating to the as well as a SW News article but the notion of on-line perception is reported on Major History of the district, including Sawmilling, Forests and Forest Equipment elsewhere in this issue, pages 30 - 31. and it also carries information on Local Dams and Schools along with much other interesting local documentation. At the 17 June meeting of the South Waikato District Council the decision to reduce the funding allocation to the New Zealand Timber Museum was made, making it $50,000 rather than the previous SWDC funding workshop decision of $144,000. At the 30 July SWDC Public Business Agenda session the 17 June decision was rescinded and the original amount of $144,000 reinstated. The Prattler does not intend to re-work the in's and out's of these events but rather sow stimulation seeds. The museum is on a reserve. The grounds are maintained for all to enjoy, including the toilets. Visitors are welcome to come in walk around the green and picnic. The only charge is for entry to the museum. Future plans include creating a walkway around the whole reserve and once the café is in operation (end of 2021/early 2022) it will be a delightful place to enjoy an afternoon, with the museum as an optional extra.
