2 Oceanside Schools 2 Anchored Together 0 BY PURPOSE PASSION, AND PEOPLE 0 1 1 7 8 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Oceanside Schools...anchored together by purpose, passion and people. Dear Oceanside Families and Community Members, I am excited, as always, to welcome you and your children to a new school year! The 2017-18 year promises many new opportunities for students in literacy, number sense, computer technology, coding, business and career studies, STEM, history, community service, and citizenship to name a few of our upcoming initiatives. I hope you will take a look at the Goals and Objectives we have established for the coming year to learn more. They can be found on our website, oceansideschools.org. We are rolling out a newly redesigned website to enhance our communication with you and strengthen the partnership between home and school. Our goal is to provide a more current, user-friendly site for our school district families. Please visit and share your feedback with us. DR. PHYLLIS S. HARRINGTON This coming year, we’ve chosen the following theme to focus our teaching and learning goals: Individually, we are a drop. Together, we are the ocean. This statement reminds us that every effort is meaningful when it is made with sincere desire for the best outcome. Whether it is our students striving to reach their fullest potential, our staff working hard to help every child succeed, our families supporting their children’s personal and intellectual growth, or our entire community, banding together to give back in ways that strengthen ties and help our neighbors, every single drop adds up to a powerful and beautiful ocean. In keeping with that ideal, we hope that you will use this calendar to stay involved with our schools by participating in the some of the many events and activities featured within. There are numerous ways to revel in your child’s accomplishments, enjoy bonding time with your child and other families, and become informed and active via our Board of Education meetings, PTA, PASS seminars, DAWC events and much more. Please join me in looking forward to a wonderful, fulfilling school year. Together we can be a mighty ocean, full of depth, strength and immeasurable beauty. Sincerely, Dr. Phyllis S.

    Rethinking Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Janie Ruth Walker

    I just want to be myself: Rethinking Pacific climate change adaptation Janie Ruth Walker A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Development Studies School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Victoria University of Wellington 2019 Cover photo: A jandal, a coconut, modern, traditional: both valued. All photos were taken by the author, except where otherwise stated. ii Prologue I talk about the moonbow I saw at night, in the middle of our vast ocean. This is good luck, they say, and we are lost in phenomena and ways of knowing the ocean that connects us. Ratu had told me that after our conversation that the ‘Va’ space between us had diminished. As I consider what he means, I walk through the Suva streets to the bus depot. It’s so hot: I’m sticky and uncomfortable. The bus arrives and I clamber on, across the debris of paper bus tickets in the gutter; my too many bags getting in the way, thoughts shut out from the loud beats of the bus. A young girl stares. I smile, too keen. She waits. I turn and look out the window at the harbour clogged with wrecks and foreign ships. I look at the girl again and wait until the space between us opens. (Author’s personal journal, 2018). iii iv Abstract Climate change is now being presented as the biggest future threat to humanity. Many people living in the Pacific Islands are experiencing this threat through the extreme negative impacts of climate change without largely having produced the human-induced causes.

    PACIFIC PASTORALISM: ANCIENT POETICS & THE DECONSTRUCTION OF AMERICAN PARADISE A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN AMERICAN STUDIES MAY 2014 By Travis D. Hancock Thesis Committee: Joseph Stanton (Chairperson) Brandy Nalani McDougall Robert Perkinson Keywords: Pastoral, Paradise, Pacific Islands, Hawai‘i, Herman Melville, Charles Warren Stoddard, Mark Twain, Theocritus, Longus ABSTRACT: This aim of this thesis is to deconstruct the etymology of the word “paradise” within the context of early Pacific narratives by popular American authors, and then within today’s tourist propaganda. Fundamental to that process is the imagination of “Pacific Pastoralism,” in which the pastoral tradition is considered as a predecessor to American traditions of describing the landscapes and peoples of the Pacific region, as those descriptions fueled an economy forcibly mapped onto that space. Herein texts are analyzed via close-reading comparisons, historical research, and more lyrical methods such as rhetorical stargazing, echolocation, and narrative technique. While this thesis is indebted to scholars in the fields of American Studies and English literature, it attempts to open space for Pacific Island Studies to epistemologically counter its cultural materialist claims. In total, this thesis is a critique of tourist marketing, which was ferried from antiquity to the Pacific on wooden ships, and today renders beaches little more than golf course sand-traps.

    2012 Annual Report

    IN MEMORY OF DAVID MCKENNA 08.06.1979 – 12.14.2012 While 2012 was a year of much growth for our team, it also brought tragedy when we lost David McKenna to a fatal car accident on December 14. David was a good friend to many of us, as well as a cornerstone in the foundation of To Write Love on Her Arms. He was the one who took the lead during those first five days spent with Renee, encouraging her and helping her get into treatment. His own life included addiction, which was a powerful factor in his desire to help Renee along a path he had walked himself. The story of those days would eventually be “The TWLOHA Story” with which so many of us connected. During the final years of his life, David also worked tirelessly to bring that story to a new audience, through the film Day One. We remember David now—his struggles and triumphs, his compassion and companionship— and we hope that TWLOHA’s work might continue to touch lives like he did. As our founder Jamie shared following David’s death, “This life is short and fragile, but friendship is among the greatest miracles.” TWLOHA, Inc. Melbourne, FL twloha.com © 2013 To Write Love on Her Arms Designer: Carra Sykes FOREWORD by Aaron Moore It was hard to believe that 2012 marked the sixth The many efforts of TWLOHA throughout the year— anniversary of To Write Love on Her Arms; the “old from counseling scholarships and Hope Goes Surfing days” in 2006 often seem like yesterday to me.

Other noteable anniversaries include a 10th birthday for Artrix in Bromsgrove, so look out for the celebrations there in April. The Marrs Bar now in its 15 year and The Swan Theatre which first opened its doors to the public a staggering 50 years ago! We also have many new initiatives to celebrate this year, Feb 2015 such as the brand new Breaking Bands Festival at Stoke Prior, Bromsgrove which will sit nicely along side other major local festivals such as Nozstock, Lakefest, Wychwood and 2000 Trees to name but a few.
