Principal’s Comments
Thank you from Kaikoura High
In some ways much of learning is about finding out what you don’t know and then doing stuff to fill the gaps. In education we focus a large amount of time and energy in identifying what we can do better. We do this because we want to make best use of the resources we have in order to better support student learning. Alongside this focus on things we can improve on we need to take time to recognise what is working. So in line with this here are some indicators that Darfield High School is doing a good job: •
Students say that their teachers have high expectations, give them good feedback, and they have a good working relationship with them.
•
Students achieve well in NCEA and over 80% of students go on to further tertiary study.
•
The newsletter looks great and is packed with stories of student success and participation.
•
Most staff and students say they feel safe at school.
•
Our graduates are good citizens who speak positively about the school.
•
Over 90% of parents in local community chose to send their children to DHS.
There are many other successes, small and large, that could be pointed to as a way of measuring success for a school and its students. The key point for me is that both our successes and failures reflect on our whole community. Students are supported through their teenage years by the school, their family, friends, neighbours, sports clubs, health services, community groups, churches and local businesses. All play their role in growing good citizens and all can be proud when we get it right. James Morris
Thank You! The Deans would like to thank our Reader Writers for the wonderful work they do, volunteering valuable time to help our students. They are very much appreciated.

Kia ora Please pass on our huge thanks to your students for their wonderful generosity in raising money for us through a mufti day. This really helps our students when they know that other kids understand what they are going through and want to help. All the best to you at Darfield High for a happy and productive Term Two. John Tait, Principal

Stage Challenge! Since I started at Darfield High School there have been so many opportunities to do amazing things. I am so glad I chose Stage Challenge for a boredom buster this year. The auditions were packed full of people who would love to have this opportunity to dance and act. After the decisions were made, we started practising. There were lots of lunchtimes and sometimes after school and on the weekends. But it was so much fun and everyone made you laugh and made you smile. Then the amazing day came and we rehearsed on that day over and over again. The other schools were so nice and friendly when we were about to go on; everyone was nervous but when we were up on the stage, it was the best experience ever. Afterwards, we went up in the rafters and yelled out our Darfield Chant—I am sure we were the loudest! We waited and then, finally, listened to the results and we were so excited that, amongst other awards, we were placed 2nd overall. We were so happy and proud of ourselves—all our hard work had paid off. After that we cheered, celebrated and packed up all our stuff and left for home, all reflecting on our great adventure, Stage Challenge 2017.
A huge thanks to everyone who made this happen: Miss Blakemore, Jade, Maddie and Courtney. Plus the students and supporters who had such a late night celebrating our success; roll on next year. Abbi Wilson, 7PL

Senior Art Students Exhibition The Exhibition, Paint is Pain and Drinking T is a collaborative show featuring the work of Years 11, 12 and 13 Art students from Darfield High School. Held at the Selwyn Gallery in Darfield, the opening will be at 5.00 pm on Friday 23 June. The show will then run from Saturday 24 June until Wednesday 5 July.
1
The art displayed in this exhibition is work from Terms 1 and 2, when students are beginning to find their feet and explore the initial ideas set out in a self-driven proposal. As the year progresses, students will continue to pursue these concepts, working towards the end of year folio examination for NCEA, due in October and November. Each student at Years 12 and 13 elected to work in a particular field for NCEA. On offer this year were painting, printmaking, and sculpture. After selecting their subject matter, the students explore a variety of established practice to inspire their work. Themes this year range from Auckland Island rabbits, chaos and order, architecture, and self-portraiture to a twist on the classic tale of Alice in Wonderland.
Year 11 students begin the year recording still life through a mixture of wet and dry media, and then move on to printmaking and painting to produce more personal and individualised work towards their NCEA folio. Having the exhibition at this point is a rewarding break for the senior students. It allows them to view and enjoy their accomplishments thus far, to take a step back, to take a large breath and carry on their journey into Term 3 and the completion of their folio in Term 4. The Visual Arts at High School offer students an exciting opportunity to travel on a journey of self-expression and personal interest, and to develop a conceptual way of thinking. In return for their passion, perseverance and time, they are rewarded with a body of art which is a reflection of them and their yearlong journey. Keep an eye out around school and in local papers for future advertising for the exhibition.

YEAR 8 PROJECT
What is going on at the bottom of the field? Many probably haven't noticed there are big things happening at the moment down the back of the school; all because a group of Year 8s decided they wanted a garden project! A couple of weeks ago, the back corner was a bit of a dumping ground and had old tree stumps—remnants from old hedging and shelter trees that once grew. But roll on a couple of weeks and the stumps and rubbish have gone and already it is looking fabulous. The Year 8s, with help from their enthusiastic teachers, many donations from community members and business sponsors, will transform the area into fruit and vege gardens, raising produce and learning a lot along the way. Steve Wratten, a lecturer from Lincoln University, visited to talk to the Year 8 students about companion planting and pollinators. He also gave them some seeds to plant. At the beginning of the week, Mark Davis from Sicon arrived early in the morning with a digger to remove the stumps, making a huge job look so much easier!

The weeping willow is at the heart of this story. A powerful symbol, showing the value to adapt. Not only the ability to survive, but to thrive in challenging conditions. It represents the strength us Cantabrians have in our harsh environment.
Coding Workshop Have you ever tried creating a website? Well, trust me when I say that, without the knowledge of three key programming languages, it is very difficult (if not impossible). On Friday 26 May, a group of around 25 of us, consisting of people from the Year13 DTG and Computer Programming class, the Year12 Computer Programming class, and some interested students from the Year11 DTG class, attended a full day coding workshop, facilitated by Tanya Gray, from Gather Workshops. We learnt a variety of new tools, including responsive design, which allows a website to look good on both a mobile device and a computer screen. We also delved into learning some Javascript code, which was a brand new programming language for many of us.
Congratulations to Isaac Proud and Hanel Blom, whose mural (below) was selected as first from the entries to the competition held here at Darfield. Their entry was sent off to the national Keep NZ Beautiful Mural Competiion and, while they didn't win that, we thought theirs was pretty awesome. You can read the story behind the mural at right.
With the elements of the barren acres of fields and strong winds, we can only pull through when we are sustained by our roots. We are planted in the ground and guided by the values found in our community. Our roots being what shaped us to grow into the people that we are today. The other features represent our beautiful backyard; a scene of the Southern Alps, the waterways of the Rakaia and the Waimakariri. The Maori Kore represents the 100% pure NZ and also water as the essence of life.
All in all, it was a very valuable day, we all learnt lots, and it was a whole heap of fun! A massive thank you to Ms Blakemore for organising it, and to Tanya Gray from Gather Workshops for running the day! Danielle Cooper

Destination Denmark: A fantastic exchange trip for Courtney I think going to Denmark was one of the scariest things I’ve ever done but it was definitely worth it. It was outside my comfort zone, but I had always wanted to go on an exchange and, after my friend had gone on one and enjoyed it, it seemed less scary so off I went. I’m so glad I did; I had such a great time and I will never forget my experiences. I don’t think that I could have had a better host family; everyone was very nice and we had a lot of similar interests. I had a host Mum, Dad, older brother and younger sister. I quickly became good friends with my host sister. We spent a lot of time drawing together and she took me to her after-school activities, such as swimming and creative design. I went to school while I was there. I found it very different, as they wear mufti and the classes were smaller so everyone is good friends. I made some great friends and one of my favourite things that I did with them was having a New Zealand dinner where we made fish and chips and pavlova together. We had a lot of fun making everything and they are now pavlova fans. I got to bike to school while I was there so I had to get used to biking on the other side of the road. I found it surprising how much they biked in Denmark but then we live at a higher altitude than their highest 'mountain'. I got to spend Christmas in Denmark which was fun. I enjoyed opening my presents on Christmas Eve as that’s not something I’m used to, but it meant that I was opening my presents at the same time as my family

at home. We danced and sang around the Christmas tree which I enjoyed, and we had candles on the Christmas tree that we had cut down ourselves (which was all very new to me). I very much liked the Risalamande we had after Christmas dinner and being tricked into eating more, even though I was full, for a chance to find the whole almond and win a prize. Risalamande is a bit like rice pudding with chopped almonds and cherry sauce. I find it very hard to pick a favourite thing from my trip but I think it would have to be building a giant Lego tower in a museum in Aalborg
with my host family. I am a big Lego fan and so is my host family. We spent an entire day playing with it and building a massive tower that was over twice my height. Needless to say, I didn’t see much of the museum. I greatly enjoyed my exchange to Denmark; I am so glad that I pushed aside my fears and did it. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. If I can do it so can you. Courtney Newell

Market Month Madness
The hall was buzzing as students rushed to buy all sorts of goods from fidget spinners to cookies with icecream. May marked the school's first Market Month with 120 students participating in 52 different market stalls. First up were the Year 12s: they had the challenge of running a business with a goal in mind to make a difference as well as a profit. The students needed to apply a community focus to their business and all of the groups decided to make a donation towards a charity of their choosing. Two of the charities to benefit were KidsCan and St John. The Year 12s were met with eager customers wanting to purchase products for themselves or gifts for others. Their products included popular fidget spinners, beauty and bath products, cell phone wallets and chargers, beanies and posters and a photo booth. They then had to review and reflect on their experience and do it all over again two weeks later.
10
The second week saw the Year 11s showcase their products. They had one chance to bring their products to the market and had opportunity to learn from the Year 12s who went before them. Their products were attractively displayed and arranged for another round of customers, clearing out much of the stock on offer. The last market was a tasty one. The Year 10s had their opportunity to offer their home-baked cookies to the staff and students of DHS. The market was again met with plenty of customers willing to taste their favourite cookies before they sold out. Thanks to everyone who participated in Market Month. Commerce education is one of the few subjects that depends on voluntary participation for success, so thanks for attending our Market Days. See you next time.

Carrington Hut Tramp On Monday 8 May, the Year 12 Outdoor Ed class went to Arthur's Pass to do a tramp. We walked roughly 35 km over heavy terrain, up steep hills and through vast forest, through jagged high country and flowy rivers. On day one, we started the adventure with a walk that took about five or six hours. We split up into three groups, each with eight members. After the five-hour walk ,we arrived at our destination, which was Carrington Hut. Everyone set up their tents and relaxed for a few hours. Once we had settled in, we each cooked up our own variety of dinner, including different meat and veg. On day two we were woken up around 7.30 am and packed up all our gear and set off again, all still in our own groups of eight. The weather was perfect for tramping conditions which made the tramp overall much more enjoyable! Around mid-day, all groups stopped at a hut halfway through the tramp and ate the rest of our lunches. We tired through the rest of tramp and happily reached our destination of the bus. We reflect on this tramp as a fun, yet very tiring, couple of days and would recommend it to anyone who loves the outdoors! Micaela Curtin

Careers Expo The Careers Expo recently attracted 15 providers who were kept busy with questions from Year 10s to Year 13s about different career pathways, entry requirements, when to apply and costs. Years 7–9 students were able to visit during interval and lunch. It was a great opportunity for students to find out about the many options available to them and start planning what subjects they need to take. Many thanks go to all the providers who visited Darfield and made the day so successful.

Year 12 Science:
Trip to the Antarctic Centre On Monday 29 May, the Year 12 General Science class went to the Antarctic Centre to learn more about life in modern day Antarctica and Scott Base, and hang out with little blue penguins! There was also the Hagglund Ride and an awesome simulated 4D cruise! Arriving at the Antarctic Centre, Ruthy greeted us with a warm welcoming smile and we soon began our expedition. We started off with learning about the special adaptations for the extreme environment in Antarctica. We learnt about the structural, physiological and behavioural adaptations in this extreme environment and we also learnt more about the penguins, seals, tardigrade, whales and other animals in Antarctica. Did you know that the tardigrade are one of the most resilient animals known? They can survive the extreme conditions that would be rapidly fatal to nearly all other known life forms; they can also survive in space and in the coldest and the hottest places!
ISSUE 5 / DHS DISPATCH
On the coldest, driest, windiest continent on earth, survival clothing is essential once you step outside Scott Base. We looked at the clothing that researchers and geologists have to wear to survive the extreme conditions in Antarctica. Mark Wilson was volunteered to try on each of the layers of clothes. The clothes have to be warm, breathable, windproof, practical, lightweight, and hardwearing. The base layer contains microfleece polyester, is half the weight of merino and two and a half times warmer, stays soft, and is easy washable to remove smells. They do not use polypropylene as it is coated with silicon to be durable but takes on the odour and it cannot be washed out. By the end of it, Mark could hardly be seen inside all his layers: it was difficult to hear him, too. This is the clothing used by New Zealanders in the Antarctic today. Some of us had a chance to ride the Hagglund vehicles that are used to carry supplies and people around on the ice and
snow. They have rubber caterpillar tracks instead of wheels and can climb steep hills, go on quite an angle and even float and “swim” through water. The purpose of the visit was to learn about the conditions in Antarctica and how organisms (especially humans) adapt to survive the extreme environment. We were able to experience some of the extreme environment in the storm room. The -8 degree temperature was cold, but bearable, and then, when the “wind” hit, the temperature stayed the same but it felt like -18 degrees. We also carried out an experiment to see the effect of layers of clothing and wind clothing that’s wet. It was time to head home. It was such a great day! Big thank yous to Mr Maude and Ms Tijsen for organising this amazing trip, as well as driving us in. I would definitely recommend this to anybody who gets the opportunity. Camille Malincon

Speedmeet Workshop
Year 7 Food Technology
Taster Days
offering hands-on experiences in Agriculture and Horticulture Years 9–11 students are invited to sample what it’s like to study Agriculture or Horticulture at a two-day taster event hosted by Ara Institute of Canterbury.
Recently, two Year 13 students, Hamish Evans and Cameron Ellis, attended a Competenz Engineering SpeedMeet Workshop. During the SpeedMeet session, the students all had five-minute one-one-one interviewtype conversations with 10 employers. This afternoon workshop was a fantastic opportunity for them to find out more about pursuing a career in Engineering.
At the Taster Days, students will get hands-on with a variety of activities. These offer a taster of the Level 2 and 3 Certificates in Agriculture and Horticulture which start in February and July. The event takes place on 15 and 16 August from 9.30 am to 3.00 pm at the Ara Washdyke training farm. Talk to your careers advisor to register your interest or visit ara.ac.nz to learn more about studying agriculture and horticulture at Ara.
This term in Year 7 Food Technology, we were looking at healthy snack options. We made soup, quesadilla, muesli bars, fritters, and savoury rolls to name just a few. For our last week of this option, we hosted a food banquet and invited some teachers along to say thank you for teaching us. Each group picked sweet or savoury out of a hat and created something to do with that for the banquet. We had lots of fun during this option. Hamish Earnshaw

Letters from Willowbrook face, framed in red-gold hair, held back with a hair tie, your eyes, bluer that the sea, your lips, redder than the rose I gave you all those years ago. The dimples in your face when you smile. The sparkle in your eyes.
17th May, 1894
18th May, 1894
Dearest Cherish,
Darling Wil,
I am coming home. Father announced it today. I am so excited to see you again. We leave in a week.
I received your letter, and cried with joy. Willoughby is coming home!
I look forward to seeing you again, see your bright smile, and your starry eyes. I suspect you are reading this in Willowbrook now.
Your picture of me reading your letter was amazingly accurate, it was like you were actually there. You know me too well. I will watch the Harbour from morning 'til night, until you come, Willoughby.
The ocean always reminds me of when we stood on the beach in the twilight, the night before I left.
I am glad you look after my locket so well. It was all I could give you before you left, and I felt it hadn't given you enough, so I took it from my throat and gave it too you, and wished that we would see each other soon.
Willoughby
I can just picture the trees, shading our little nook from the afternoon sun, the dappled sunlight steaming through the leaves. The log seat will be warm and you will be sitting on it, your feet drawn up and the letter in one hand. You are smiling as you read this and you are hoping I won't be long coming home. You are thinking about what you will write in your letter back to me. I keep the photo of you out so that I can look at it everyday. I have found a velvet lined box that my grandmother gave to me. It has 'Love' emblazoned across the top in cursive, and grandmother gave it to me before she died. I will put the photo in there, along with the locket. I wear it, although Father says it isn't manly. I remind him that if wearing your locket isn't manly, then love isn't manly. I am writing this by my window, because when I look out, I can see the stars. Mother says I shouldn't write in the dark, so I use a candle. The stars aren't the same stars, but the moon is the same. Every time I look out, I think of you. Do you remember when we looked out at the moon and the stars, in Willowbrook? I hope that I will never forget, so I think about it every day. It is very late, so I must finish this and send it to you. Warm regards to your mother and father, and I hope that it puts a smile on your face. I love you. Willoughby

You are the first thing I think about when I get up in the morning, and the last thing I think about when I go to bed. I wish you luck in your travels, and I revel in your letters, they are a great friend to me. I love you too, so much. I await your return. Cherish
19th May, 1894 Beloved Cherish, I think of you every time I see your photo. We go out on the boat everyday. It is called 'Lillianthe'. I sit by my window and look out to the stars, I close my eyes and I see the willow tree by the brook, and the log seat underneath. I hear the birds in the trees and your sweet voice. I smell baking apple pie, and fresh roses. I feel the breeze in my face and the warmth of your hand in mine. I see your
What I would give to see you again!
You know, I saw nothing in London that compared to home, to you. Remember, Cheri, that I will always love you.
20th May, 1894 One and only Wil, How I will relish your return! I wish I could be with you now, despite the dangers at sea. Mother made an apple pie last night and I was immediately reminded of your letter. It did smell divine. Mother asked about you, and when I told her you were coming home, she gave me a big hug and asked when. We all look forward to your return. I am looking at the stars as I write this, as I suspect you are too. The waves will be lapping the sides of the boat, and the sky will be as wide and expansive as the sea. Keep my locket. Hold it tight. Come home. Mother has just popped in to tell me to blow out my candle. I will. I love you as much as the ocean. Cherish

Love-of-my-life Cherish,
Cherished Cherish,
Wil-o-mine,
Sometimes I think it is the stars that carry our love to each other. I send you a kiss and the stars return it to you. However, I know it is only the post service.
I was sitting by my window this evening, just as the sky was turning black, and I had some inspiration.
I love the poem, I sing it to myself every day.
The great expanse between here and home cannot part our hearts. Father says that the ocean air would be good for my health, and I should not be writing letters so much. He says that I will see you when I get home. But I cannot go without writing to you as I can live without breathing. I long to be with you now. This little nook has become my sacred sanctuary. I come here to read your letters and write them to you. The Lillianthe sails out to sea and back again. I wish I could go straight home. Kisses to you, from me. I love you with all of my heart. Willoughby
22nd May, 1894 Dear Willoughby, I only have time for a quick scribble, Mother and I are going to a dance at Mrs Russet's place. She is throwing a party because that's just who she is, as you know. I am wearing that cream dress you admire, and there will be ice cream and plenty of pleasures . Only, I wish you would come! It won't be like old times, for my old school friends will be there, except for you. We all miss you, you haven't been forgotten. Willowbrook looks a treat, lights on, streaming down to the log seat at the bottom of the garden. The night sky is alight with stars, and I think of you. My heart belongs to you, my love. Cherish
ISSUE 5 / DHS DISPATCH
I quickly grabbed a piece of paper from my desk, and scribbled the lines down. I slipped it in the envelope, just for you. I will see you soon. The sky is still apricot orange, and the sun has just dipped below the horizon. The stars are coming out, one by one. I look out my other window and I can see the moon. I took a moment to look at your locket. It is beautiful, not because of what it is, but what it has to tell. I met a young man in town today. He said his name was Brian. I asked what he thought of the place . And he said it was ripping. He is only visiting, as I am. He said; "I am going on an adventure, for home is far behind me. America and all of its possibilities awaits. Where are you going, my friend?" "Home." I replied. "Home where my beloved awaits, and the calm shores will welcome me back. To a place called Willowbrook, where I found love." He seemed to take it as a joke. "Poet, are you? Fancy that!" I will love you to the end of the world. Willoughby
"Love on the Ocean"
Kisses from me through the stars in the sky. Who gave you the sparkle in your eyes. Hugs on the wind, however long. Love on the waves that carry me home. I love you as much as the ocean blue. Bring me home to you. I love you as the moon is true. Bring me home to you.
The dance was simply terrific. I danced with a number of our old schoolmates, and the ice cream was divine. It wasn’t quite like it should have been. Liberty Cloe asked when you were coming home and when I told her, she positively leapt for joy, to the disapproving looks old Mrs Prutt and Mrs Gregory Muller gave her. I am sitting by my gable window and the sunset is perfectly framed. I have the window open, much to Mother's dismay. I can hear the waves lapping the beach, and the far off cries of the seagulls. The few boats on the water by the wharf are gently rocking, and the beach is empty, save a few gulls and driftwood. I can look out to sea, and the water is dark, creating a moving horizon. The garden is empty and still, as well as the forest behind it. I visited all of our old haunts today, including the Silver Tree and the Glowing Glade. It hasn't changed much, and I heard laughter from the little children from Beals road. They play in that forest, but I don't know if they have found our secret place. I am always thinking of you. I love you to the moon and back. Cherish

THE
SPORTSPATCH College Day After our opening game against Westland HS, we headed into Christchurch's Burnside Park for the annual College Day fixture. This is an event that DHS has been attending for over 30 years and one that provides a great opportunity to develop our whole squad.
Karen Armstrong, our Sports Co-ordinator, reports on recent events.
So, on this day, we had the luxury of taking in 30 keen boys and were able to rotate them over the three games. All of our games were close, with a 14–12 win over Christchurch BHS, followed by a 5–0 loss to the eventual winners, Rangiora, before finishing with a 5-all draw with our Westland opponents from last week.
Basketball 19 May: Darfield Yellow vs St Margaret's College: win to DHS 33–16 Darfield Purple vs Hagley College: win to DHS 47–33 Darfield Green vs Hill View Christian School: Loss to DHS 13–62 Darfield Maroon vs Shirley Boys' High: win to DHS 49–32 Darfield Blue vs St Thomas: win to DHS 39–20 Darfield White vs St Bede's High School: loss to DHS 20–36 26 May Darfield Pink vs Catholic Cathedral College: loss to DHS 28–47 Darfield Yellow (Senior B Girls) vs Rangi Ruru: loss to DHS 20–24 Darfield Purple vs Hornby High: loss to DHS 31–32 Darfield Green vs Christchurch Girls': loss to DHS 23–65 Darfield Maroon vs Hagley College: win to DHS 53–37 Darfield Blue vs Ashburton College: win to DHS by default

Brockbank Graves Trophy New Tournament Games
Round 1 vs Westland
Round 2 vs Buller
This game was held at Westland High School, so the team travelled to Hokitika on Tuesday evening to stay the night before. Everyone was excited for the trip and there were some who hadn't played a West Coast team before.
Last Wednesday saw us host our first home game of the year against Buller High School in what shaped as a match-up of the two form teams in this year's Brockbank Graves competition.
The game started off well with us scoring a try. The 41–0 score to Darfield was the result of the possession that we held during most of the game. This meant we were able to make the most of our attacking opportunities. The game was very wet with us experiencing multiple seasons in one day that tested the team's ability to catch pass; we did fairly well in the conditions we were in.
After DHS took the lead through a great solo try from Isaac Proud, the Buller boys hit back just before full-time with a long-range try of their own. This meant the game finshed in a tense 7-all draw, meaning Darfield's retention of the Brockbank Graves Trophy will hinge on their last game of the competition against Grey High (held on Wednesday 24 May) at Darfield. For a full list of our point scorers, please see the Rugby Results page on our new school sports website.
Overall, it was a great game and trip, and the boys had fun. Ged Roessink, Captain
Yesterday marked the start of a new competition for the DHS 1st XV. After a meeting last year between ourselves, Ellesmere, and Mt Hutt Colleges and Geraldine High School, it was decided that instead of playing each other in short games in the annual Senior Quad day, we would go back to the days of old and play each other in separate fixtures over a three-week period. And so, with the help of tournament sponsor Hazlett Rural, we have been able to put together a new competition known as the Hazlett Rural Ltd Plains Secondary School Rugby Tournament. Round 1 saw us take on Ellesmere at DHS in front of another good crowd. In a game that shaped as our toughest yet, the DHS team really stood up, putting in a dominant allround performance to run out 42–7 winners. Standout players were Sam Inch-Reed and Haydn Rose in the forward pack, while fullback, Toby Kars, was a constant threat bringing the ball back. Next week sees a break from this competition and the DHS team will be hosting Greymouth High in the final round of the Brockbank Graves Trophy. A win in this fixture should see the team retain the title it won for the first time last year. Jared Bell, Manager and Coach

First Prize: a trip to China The competition is open to schools in Canterbury. Closing date 29 September 29 2017 Entry Forms can be accessed on www.rewialley.kiwi.nz
Rewi Alley Legacy Project Rewi Alley was born in 1897 in Springfield, raised and educated in Canterbury, fought in the First World War in France, farmed in the Taranaki in the 1920s and spent 60 years in China, where he is honoured as one of the five most significant foreigners. 2017 marks his 120th birthday. Of all the training schemes for skilled workers, the most successful were the six Bailie schools established by Rewi. They were for co-operative apprentices, refugee boys and the sons of the local peasants, who spent half the day in academic studies the other half working in a co-operative factory. Rewi found the site and led the advance party to set up the Shandan Bailie School in Gansu Province. Darfield High School and Selwyn District Council have longestablished links with the Shandan Bailie School. As part of the commemorations for Rewi, competitions have been announced for Years 11–13 and Years 7–10 students, with a first prize of a trip to China. These awards will be announced on 2 December at the Commemoration. Details of the competitions are above.
