    Mangere College Term 3 Newsletter 2017 A word from the Principal It was great to see so many whanau at the recent PST’s. We always have very high numbers of families at these events and it is very positive to see all of the conversations happening. Many of our students are well on track to achieve our goal this year of 14+ credits for every student in every course and we are putting in place ways to help those students who are not on track. One of the biggest factors that help students to achieve is the support they receive from home. We really appreciate the effort that you make to support your child and we know it can make a big difference. Here are some things that you can do at home: · Ask your child how they are doing at school · Keep up to date with the number of credits they have and what is coming up · Talk to them after each exam or assessment about how it went · Support them when they have important exams and assessments The KAMAR app is very useful to stay up-to-date with how your child is going at school. If you did not receive a letter about the app at your PST then please contact the school.

  • The Changing Face of Asian Peoples in New Zealand
    New Zealand Population Review, 41:95–118. Copyright © 2015 Population Association of New Zealand The Changing Face of Asian Peoples in New Zealand ELSIE HO * Abstract Richard Bedford has made a major contribution to the understanding of diverse Asian peoples in New Zealand. In particular, his work has demonstrated how changing immigration policies have led to new patterns of ethnic diversity, residential and business concentration, and settlement and employment trajectories, as well as changing family dynamics, mobility patterns and transnational networks (for example, Bedford & Ho, 2008; Bedford, Didham & Ip, 2009; Ho & Bedford, 2006, 2008; Spoonley & Bedford, 2012). This paper builds on this understanding to analyse the changing characteristics of Asian peoples in New Zealand since 1986, the year when New Zealand abolished a traditional source preference in the selection of prospective immigrants in favour of criteria based on individual merits, skills and qualifications. The discussion is organised into six parts to illustrate the multiple dimensions of difference within New Zealand’s growing Asian communities: more diverse Asian ethnic groups, changing age-sex structure, different labour market experiences, growing mobility and transnational connections, complex patterns of mixed ethnicity, and increased concentration in Auckland. The study challenges the popular perception of ‘Asian’ as a single category. he 2013 Census reveals that New Zealand’s population is becoming increasingly diverse. In 1986, 85.1 per cent of New Zealand’s T population were of European ethnic origin, 12.4 per cent Māori, 4.0 per cent Pacific and 1.7 per cent Asian. By 2013, the non-European ethnic groups (Māori, Asian and Pacific) had all increased their proportion of the New Zealand population (to 14.9 per cent, 11.8 per cent, and 7.4 per cent respectively), and a new group had emerged, namely those who identified with ethnicities in the broad Middle Eastern, Latin American and African category (MELAA), accounting for 1.2 per cent of the population.
