I was also stunned by the photos sent in about the Taranaki Orchestra day, taken by Fiona Glennie, a multi-talented Year 12 student at Sacred Heart Girls’ College in New Plymouth, who also played bass clarinet in the orchestra. A warm congratulations to the winner of the 2018 Hook, Line and Sing-a-long competition, James Constable of Rangiora High School for The Smell of Sunscreen. Photos from James’ recording session are featured in this edition, alongside his winning score. I know many of you will have exciting projects and initiatives to share, so please do send in your articles and photos so we can all Amy Ryan be inspired and celebrate these events in Aotearoa. Nga mihi, Amy Ryan CHAIR’S COMMENTS Welcome members to another fantastic MENZA magazine. Amy always does a fantastic job and as an organisation we are extremely lucky to have her. As this goes to print we are in a climate of positive change with lots of new initiatives currently being worked through. We have successfully applied in a joint venture with ONZA (Orff New Zealand Aotearoa) to become a Network Of Expertise. This is a contract with the MOE that comes with considerable funding to help us support music teachers across the country. We are still working out the finer details of this but our application involved PD across the country and some support roles. It is fair to say that this is a major step in the right direction for MENZA. Tim Randle We have also been successful in our application to manage another TRCC conference in 2019. A personal highlight of recent was being asked to speak and advocate on behalf of music teachers at the Smokefreerockquest launch and 30th year celebration which was held at Parliament. MENZA board members can only serve two terms and the 2018 AGM will represent the end of my second term on the board. I have been very lucky in that I have shared these two terms with both Tim Carson and Phil Pegler. Throughout these six years I believe we have seen considerable change for the better and we leave the board in a state of both financial and personal wise strength. I would personally like to extend extra appreciation to Tim Carson who as previous Chairperson has been my absolute go to for the last year for guidance in this role. I don’t believe any of us will be lost to MENZA and I expect all three of us to adapt to new roles. Nga mihi, Tim Randle Front Cover Photos Taranaki Orchestra Day Cellist.

Tune Me In July 2018 | 3 THE VALUE OF MUSIC IN HEALTH WORKPLACES - PROFESSOR CATHERINE CROCK A physician at the Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne since 1994, Catherine has worked closely with patients and families to redesign services and improve quality and safety. She is the Chair of the Hush Foundation, which transforms healthcare culture through use of the arts. Hush produces music for children, families and staff in hospitals around Australia. Hush has collaborated with renowned playwright Alan Hopgood in the development of the plays “Hear Me”, “Do You Know Me” and “What Matters” which are performed in hospitals and Aged Care settings to raise awareness of patient-centred care, communication and patient safety issues. Hush cofounded the Gathering of Kindness in 2016. In 2015, Catherine became a Member of the Order of Australia for her contribution to medicine, to community healthcare standards and to the Arts. For further information please visit the Hush Foundation website www.hush.org.au. WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION? WHAT WERE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES YOU’VE HAD?

  • Rugby Player in the Region and and Members for Their Tireless Efforts
    THE BulletinAPRIL 2013 The Magazine of the Nelson College Community 1 From the Acting Headmaster – Mr Tim Tucker The staff and students of the school have been busy in recent months. Even more gratifying is that the industry has been rewarded with many many fantastic results. It remains that the provision of high quality courses and the best possible education for our boys are our greatest priorities. The opening of the Gibbons Trade Education Centre is one example of the Old Boys, Community and College working together to provide the best for our boys. The Centre is a modern purpose-built facility which is providing students with the highest quality preparation for a career in their chosen trades area. I would like to acknowledge all the sponsors and supporters of this project but especially the Gibbons family. The family was personally involved in the project at all stages and willingly gave considerable time and resources to ensure the highest quality results. The Education Review Office visited the school in August 2012 to assess the quality of teaching and learning occurring at Nelson College. The ERO visit involves a great deal of investigative work from their team and extensive review of our courses and policies. Nelson College is one of only 15% of schools nationwide to receive the highest grade of review. The grade of review is measured by the length of time until the next visit – ours will be five years! Perhaps most importantly it is reassurance from the highest level that we are delivering high quality learning in a positive and motivating environment or as ERO put it, "students are highly engaged in learning" ..

Revenue streams continued to diversify as the market rapidly embraced streaming, which now represents 24% of NZ wholesale recording revenues. Although growing, streaming has not yet achieved sufficient subscriber volume to create the returns previously derived from physical product and downloads. Live performance, synchronisation and merchandising are becoming of increasing importance to artist earnings. The Music Commission maintained its extensive industry consultation during this year with both Domestic and International industry discussion and feedback sessions in March and April 2015, and 57 Outward Sound recipients taking part in a survey assessing the programme.
