Low-tech games are the real deal Ford Every Stream

Gerald Ford I wonder where this Pokemon Go craze will lead us next.

At first site, motivating a generation with its head in its phone to get its body in the real world can be seen as a positive.

But I wonder how real the real world is, when you are wandering around, staring at your phone and seeing imaginary creatures that other people can’t?

I remember once interviewing a young man who had been bowled by a car, and was wondering aloud about karma and such.

There was no mystery to me.

He had his headphones on and his hoodie up and didn’t see the car coming speeding towards the crossing he was on at night.

In a sudden, violent moment, a real car struck his real body and sent him launching through the air into a real garden, really breaking his real leg.

The driver did not stop.

At that moment, the young man’s focus was dragged away from the internal world he was inhabiting, to the external world of pain and suffering.

He was reminded in no uncertain terms that he had a body and he’d better take care of it.

I also remember trying to encourage a young relative who was wielding a stick as a sword to crash it against mine for a bit of a mock sword fight.

He’s improved since but at that time he just didn’t understand the concept.

Stick swords need to connect with a satisfying crack sound, but unfortunately for me, he had a light sabre.

All I could get out of him was a kind of vague whooshing sound as he swung away in slow motion.

I’m something of a connoisseur of stick swords, having spent many hours beheading villainous thistles as a boy.

I can tell before I pick up a stick how well weighted it will be, how strong, how flexible – and how effective at the all-important job of maiming specimens of noxious flora.

In my imagination I was a knight of the realm, defending truth and justice and all that, but in my body I was also improving my hand-eye co-ordination.

When technology does all the imagining for us, we lose out in both the imaginary world and the real one.

The real world (no need for capitals, thanks Nintendo) has a 360-degree screen and surround sound, and plenty of real thistles to behead.

What more do we need?

Wairarapa warms up the world

3

BY GERALD FORD

A shipment of new blankets and wool clothing items has headed to the ports this week as knitters from Operation Coverup prepare their annual contributions to warm up Eastern Europe.

Knitters from the Wairarapa branches of the charity have been making blankets and clothing such as children’s jerseys for the sub-zero winters in countries such as Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Masterton leader Celia Carman along with her helpers Heather Rothery and Olive Hintz spent Friday morning counting and sorting the dozens of blankets and other items including baby-sized cardigans – one member knitted upwards of 70 of these last items.

The group has eight to ten regular knitters who meet regularly and knit together and others who supply their work all at once at the end of the year.

Displaying a patchwork quilt of many-coloured striped squares from one contributor, Heather expressed her admiration of the knitter’s style.

“We’ve christened them liquorice allsorts, she said. “I do the crocheting for them. It’s just a joy to do because they are so jolly cheerful – and she’s well in her 80s.”

The Masterton items then headed to Martinborough where the South

Wairarapa knitters’ works have been on display.

The whole Wairarapa collection was then headed for Greytown and then to Auckland – joining other Operation Coverup from around New Zealand.

The items are gathered in one or two wool bales and shipped first to the Netherlands.

Classifying is important because of the strict importing rules and inspections.

“They have to be exactly what the

container says they are,” Celia said.

“That’s why we have very strict rules and all being new. If they find something that’s not on the list, they can ban the whole thing.”

Celia said New Zealand is well received in Eastern Europe and seen as a kind and neutral country.

Operation Cover-up operates under the umbrella of the wider charity Mission Without Borders.

The wool items often end up in very

impoverished Romany settlements and Celia has travelled there with the on at least one occasion to help deliver the items.

The locals are often overwhelmed that people on the other side of the world would take the trouble to make knit things for them and not expect to be paid, Celia said.

“One woman was just speechless, the tears streaming down her face, she didn’t know why we would do it.”

Waingawa hub opened

BY GERALD FORD

The opening of a log hub at Waingawa on Monday will spare the Rimutaka Hill Road more than 16,000 trucks a year, Centreport chief executive Derek Nind said yesterday at its official opening.

Mr Nind said the hub was a “sustainable, reliable solution” to reducing inland transport costs.

The Waingawa log hub was opened by Minister of Transport Simon Bridges, who cut the ribbon around a log grabber.

The hub along Norfolk Road is a partnership between Centreport, Forest Enterprises Limited and Farman Turkington Forestry, and Kiwirail.

It sends two trainloads a day totalling more than 800 tonnes of logs to the port and was described by Mr Nind as a “sustainable, reliable soluntion bringing road and rail together.

Log volumes through Centreport have

almost doubled in five years, and Mr Nind said the logging section of the port has increased its size to meet demand.

Visitors were met at Copthorne Resort Solway Park, kitted out in safety gear and bussed to the Waingawa site, returning soon afterward for speeches.

The event was attended by Carterton Mayor John Booth, Wairarapa MP Alistair Scott and New Zealand First deputy leader Ron Mark, along with Masterton Mayor Lyn Patterson and South Wairarapa Mayor Adrienne Staples.

Mr Bridges said New Zealand is the “most remote developed country in the world” and therefore needs to be better than the rest and have the best transport infrastructure.

“Hubbing is obviously the right track and the winning strategy … playing on the composite strengths that different modes of transport have.”

Logs lined up at the log hub.

Centreport chairman Warren Larsen said New Zealanders are “good at making things and growing things”, but “not so good at distribution” which projects like the hub help to improve.

Carterton Mayor John Booth said the hub is a “significant opportunity to increase our region’s export revenue”, and

encouraged Wairarapa business to “use this outstanding asset”.

Mr Booth congratulated those in the past from Carterton District Council and beyond who had set up the wider Waingawa industrial park area, of which he said he counts the log hub as a part.

Wednesday, August 3, 2016

Battle of the vines well fought Mark Langlands from Te Kairanga vineyard on Thursday won the Bayer Wairarapa Young Viticulturist of the Year 2016 for the second year in a row.

Second equal were Scott Lanceley from Craggy Range and Ben McNab-Jones from Urlar in a tightly fought contest.

Lanceley was also second last year and represented Wairarapa at the national finals, in place of Langlands who was working a vintage in California at the time.

This year Langlands is excited to be able to follow through and take his place representing Wairarapa at the national final from August 23 to 25, and says he is determined to bring back the trophy.

The competition started with a 2-hour theoretical paper, based around taking over a vineyard which was suffering from certain diseases and needed replanting in various places.

The contestants therefore had to make a plan on how they would do this and advise their Hong Kong client on what needed pulling out and recommend a new vineyard layout and management programme.

This involved budgeting, pest and disease knowledge as well as nutrition, irrigation and training techniques.

During the afternoon the contestants then needed to turn their plan into reality and physically set up trellising, plant vines according to the density they had recommended and ensure the irrigation system was lined up appropriately. They also had an interview and a module on spraying and irrigation.

There was a large crowd cheering the contestants on for the BioStart Hortisports where they went head to head in the race.

They undertook various activities which included reversing a quad bike, pruning, irrigation, mixing and breasting a duck.

The evening activities included wine options, a quickfire buzzer round and speeches.

The speech title was “This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Judgement of Paris where Californian wine took French wine head on and won. Would New Zealand defeat France in a similar competition?”

Three contestants then had to argue on behalf of France and the other three on behalf of New Zealand focussing on the three issues of terroir, tradition and size.

The national winner will gain the title of Bayer Young Viticulturist of the Year, $2000 cash, a $5000 Agamrdt travel scholarship, a Hyundai Santa Fe for a year, wine glasses and a leadership week where they meet some of the top leaders in the New Zealand wine industry. They also go on to represent viticulture in the Young Horticulturist of the Year Competition.

Coaches learn as they teach

Chanel College’s Janie Grevatt, 16, in grey, instructs year 9 netball players as part of a new ITO Skills Active package, Growing Coaches Plus - which earns NCEA credits.

Two students at Masterton’s Chanel College are taking part in a Sport New Zealand programme called Growing Coaches, that teaches vital coaching skills to strengthen the country’s extensive network of sport coaches.

The programme teaches secondary students the skills and knowledge needed to make great sport coaches, including planning, conducting and reviewing a coaching session for beginner-level players in their chosen sport. The programme is designed to build leadership potential in young people by teaching them to coach.

Sport, recreation and exercise ITO Skills Active has just launched a new add-on package, Growing Coaches Plus, which will allow students to earn NCEA credits for completing this extracurricular programme.

Year 12 students Janie Grevatt and

Berenique Erasmus, both 16, are coaching Chanel College’s Year 9 netball team, in order to meet the practical requirements of the Growing Coaches programme.

Participation involves several coaching workshops after school, as well as being observed on the court coaching by a PE teacher. The girls have to show evidence of at least 15 hours of coaching over the season.

If there was no coaching, there would be no netball Both girls say they like the idea of being able to gain credits from the programme that count towards their academic results.

Berenique Erasmus in black leads in some passing drills.

Up to 1000 students around New Zealand take part in the Growing Coaches programme each year.

As the student works through and completes the Sport NZ workbook, they also fill out their Skills Active Assessment Resource, while their teacher or sport coordinator uses the Assessment Guide to observe and assess their coaching skills.

By completing the programme, the student earns one Level 2 and two Level 3 unit standards worth 12 credits. Janie and Berenique both play for the school’s A netball team. Berenique says her love of netball is part of what motivates her to coach.

The Growing Coaches programme has introduced them to other student coaches, helped them build up their coaching skills, and taught them about the responsibilities a coach holds, says Janie.

“For instance, if you’re not organised as a coach, it affects your team. Say if I came today and didn’t have my shoes, I’d be setting a bad example for my team.

“If I just got out there and [did] not really direct them, it wouldn’t help them to improve their netball.”

Janie, who moved to Masterton this year, said there are lots of benefits to the sport for the players they are coaching, which is what makes their job rewarding. “[If they weren’t playing netball] right now they’d probably be at home watching TV,” Janie said.

“Instead they are outside and making new friends. Some of these girls didn’t know each other before they were on the team; now they all know each other.”

“If there was no coaching, there would be no netball,” Berenique said.

OPINION

8 Wairarapa Midweek

Poussibility? A very Wairarapa feeling Soapbox Mike Osborne My attention was recently drawn to a list of emotions people feel but can’t explain or name (www.goo.gl/6kNxsK) and it got me to thinking that maybe we in the Wairarapa have our own unnamed emotions. I peeled the emotional onion and this is what I found.

Campanaloggia - a crushing disappointment when you find out that others don’t enjoy the sound of the Carterton clock tower’s chimes as much as you do.

Mangatainokia - that apparently enchanting idea, when you’ve had a couple, of texting a long lost friend or relative on your mobile and then not.

Tuifillensis - the dread that the spunky raven-haired Tui girl with the big glasses may be a better Scrabble player than you are.

Castiglio - having driven up hill and down dale and around many bends for an hour and now onto the flat with the sea in sight; the urge to utter an expletive on realising there is still one more hill before Castlepoint.

Dexternullia – a fit of pique induced by the inability to turn right into Holloway Street, Carterton.

Poussibility - the fleeting opportunity - if you stop your car on a cloudy day, get out on the passenger side, avoid logging trucks, stand on one leg and squint - to

clearly see the pou.

Impossibility - the less than fleeting opportunity - if you stop your car on a cloudy day, get out on the passenger side, avoid logging trucks, stand on one leg and squint - to clearly see your local MP. Ascensionarma - praying that naysayers of the Neil Dawson sculpture will be perpetually reincarnated to live in Bend, Oregon where all the roundabouts are festooned with sculptures.

Elegecia - feelings of shame, worry and guilt brought on by unseemly and unwanted proposals from the Local Government Commission.

Ecclessiasm - the ecstasy of being physically, mentally and spiritually transported by a deliciously gooey Eccles cake from Solway’s St James Bakery.

Tararuement - the inexplicable delight of seeing even the lightest dusting of snow on the Tararuas mixed with the sorrow of it melting away.

Canessis - the continual self-hatred and occasional self-harm of the deluded yet long-suffering Hurricanes fan.

Oenus - the feeling of responsibility when wine tasting, and having tasted the full range, that you should buy at least one bottle.

Whism - the quiet optimism that despite being etched into people’s minds for a very long time we can restore original Maori place names.

What about that sense of grief and loss; that feeling that you’ve just wasted five minutes of your valuable time? There’s probably a name for that.

What happened to the option of a diversion canal from the Waiohine Gorge to the Tauherenikau River? Surely, this would be a near-perfect solution to prevent serious flooding downstream without the need to upgrade stopbanks.

I noticed during my daily travels on the train to Wellington that the Tau never has any significant amounts of water – not even after heavy rain.

As for the stopbank options considered: These are all just bandaids, and the unpredictability of a “1 in 100� flood (or whatever) just means that those poor people in Greytown will one day (maybe sooner than later, thanks to “global warming�) have to experience the disastrous effects of an eroded or overflown stop bank. Not to mention the poor suckers who made the “unfortunate� (so Mr Flanagan) choice to settle in the south of rural Carterton or those around Martinborough who get (maybe) our well-channeled Waiohine waters on top of their overflowing Ruamahanga.

Only, then it will be too late to reconsider any remedial work.

And, most importantly: What if, due to more turbulent weather patterns caused by global warming, there are no big but more “small� but torrential rainfalls & floods, which could be much more effectively controlled by an adjustable diversion canal?

TIME TO PLANT ASPARAGUS

HOW TO GROW ASPARAGUS

Here’s a question for you. In optimum growing conditions, how fast can an asparagus spear grow in one day? Well, I’m not going to give the answer away that easy, but keep reading and soon you will find out.

The fleshy green spears of asparagus are both succulent and tender and have been considered a delicacy since ancient times.

This highly prized vegetable arrives with the coming of spring, when its shoots break through the soil to the delight of mouthdrooling onlookers.

Asparagus are a hardy crop of which provides one of the earliest new season vegetables.

They are easy to grow, and once established, can live for about fifteen years. It is best suited to mild or cold climates and light soil with good drainage – this makes it easy for the spears to push through the soil, growing as much as 20cm in one day! The newly emerging spears of the young unopened fronds are cut for use. If left to its own devices, asparagus will produce fernylooking stems that can reach a height of two metres.

Patience is the main requirement when starting an asparagus patch, as it can take a few years for a crop to begin producing enough to feed the family. It is not a vegetable for a small garden either – it’s a perennial of which dies down each winter and re-sprouts from below the ground in spring.

Asparagus is happy in a sunny spot with free-draining, moist, warm soil. In winter it dies down to a crown and hides underground until the soil warms up again in spring. Select a sunny permanent position and be sure all weeds are completely removed. The garden bed should be raised if possible to ensure good drainage. Mix in good quality compost and if you have some left-over bones from your Sunday roast put those in too. (If you have no bones, a good dressing of Blood & Bone will do the trick). Make sure your compost is not heavy and wet. Allow approximately 30cm between plants and rows to ensure the crown has enough space to establish itself.

Do not cut spears in the first spring after planting. In the second year just cut spears for two to three weeks then leave the developing spears to mature which allows the root system to replenish. Plants reach full maturity in four to five years. At this stage, you will be picking them for up to eight weeks through the season.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF ASPARAGUS This unlikeliest of vegetable is actually a powerhouse of goodness. Forget all thoughts of whiffy wee – caused by the metabolism of asparagusic acid in the body – and get stuck into this lean, green, fat-busting machine.

Here’s why: Packing around half its calories from protein, asparagus is the smart guy’s way to get a little extra. And with each spear containing just four calories, you can munch away to your heart’s content. Asparagus is high in vitamin A, folic acid and dietary fibre, which are all thought to play a vital role in fighting cancer.

Asparagus also contains high levels of potassium, which may help control blood pressure, and is rich in rutin and iron which boost the body’s immune system.

It’s also cholesterol free and contains many other important nutrients such as Vitamin E, Copper and Zinc. And finally, its additional benefits are likened to oysters and chocolate – need I say more!!

Volunteers at heart of success

An art space in the heart of Carterton is thriving thanks to a team of committed volunteers, says its co-ordinator.

Heart of Arts is running in a shop space on High Street, central Carterton, and thanks largely to dedicated helpers is able to be open seven days a week.

The space functions as a gallery for showcasing and selling the works of local artists.

It also hosted fortnightly “bites” – ten-minute lunchtime chats from artists about their work, and youth group R2R has been able to meet and talk about art with contributing artists.

“Without the volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to do it,” Corrinne said.

The gallery, run through Toi Wairarapa, also receives support from Carterton District Council and Trust House, and Reap House has helped with accounts and a Toi Wairarapa also runs a website which features a large number of Wairarapa artists.

One of them, Doreen Finlay, was pleased to find support from Carterton Mayor John Booth, who has purchased her giant portrait of a kea.

Carterton District Council is hosting an information evening for potential council candidates ahead of this year’s local government elections.

The meeting will be held tonight, Wednesday August 3 at the Carterton Events Centre at 7pm.

Items to be covered will include how the council is structured, the role and responsibilities of elected members, as well as the skills required, likely time commitments, meeting schedules and an overview of nomination and election processes.

“This is an opportunity for people interested in standing in the 2016 elections to learn more about the election processes and the roles of councils and elected members. It’s also a chance to have any questions answered,” says electoral officer Milan Hautler said.

Carterton District Council chief executive Jane Davis and department managers will be in attendance to advise on council matters.

Nominations close at midday on Friday, August 12.

To be eligible to stand, prospective candidates must be New Zealand citizens, over 18 years of age and on the electoral roll.

Women’s vote memories preserved

BY GERALD FORD

A member of the National Council of Women Wairarapa has purchased for the public some pendants that honour Wairarapa women who petitioned Government for the right to vote.

Project 607 is a collection of pendants made by artist Justine Fletcher with the names of the local women who signed the voting petition which saw women granted the vote in 1916.

Iris Christopher, a Carterton accountant, has purchased the Carterton pendants for installation in a public space in future.

Iris said she fell in love with the pendants herself, but felt they needed to be displayed publicly.

“I wanted them to stay in Carterton,” Iris said.

“I absolutely love them, but I felt it was a little selfish of me to buy them for myself.

“I felt all women in Carterton should be able to see (them). They celebrate womanhood so they are meant for public view – not meant for a private home.

“I’m hoping the council will be able to arrange somewhere for them – this could be a wake-up call.”

For now the pendants are on display at Heart of Arts in High Street, Carterton.

the from Zone 4

Wairarapa Lions ACTIVITIES FOR JULY 2016 During the next 12 months, Lions Clubs throughout the world will be celebrating the Lions Centennial year. Lions Clubs International was formed by Melvin Jones in Chicago USA in 1917.

Carterton Lions Club members continued work at Carters Reserve with Higgins carting metal from Allan’s farm, Geoff and his bulldozer levelling metal, and Gordon and his digger clearing drains & culverts. Hayden from DoC and Lions John, Kim and Harry removed fences & posts, gradied track into a reserve and preparing an area for this year’s tree planting. During July a small team of willing members turn up to plant 200 trees.

Carterton Central Lions Club are trying a slightly new format with coffee and cake before the meeting. During the meeting, members split into their committees and discussed the oncoming year with some enthusiastic outcomes. The club is supporting the Ugandan RUMP programme for teenage girls.

Masterton Holdsworth Lions Club lost a valued member with the passing of Rae Hargood. Rae was a great community minded member and always willing to help out at project or function. The club catered for Connecting Communities School Holiday Programme with hot soup and a

roll on very cold days. 210 children served during the three days.

Wairarapa Ruamahanga Club Branch will be holding a Garage Sale on Saturday, September 3 in the Te Runga Scout Den, Harley Street, starting at 11am. Funds to help support local skiing sports star Rebecca Heath to attend the Special Olympics Winter Games in 2017. Contact Dave on 0220341254 if you have goods to donate.

Masterton Host Waipoua Lions Club held this year’s changeover at the Kopuaranga Hall. The new president for 2016-17 is Roger Melville. Rod Field was awarded Lions Clubs International’s highest award for services to Lions and the community, “The Melvin Jones Fellowship” award.

Featherston Lioness Club are looking forward to a visit from Lion Geoff Walker who will be talking to the club about his Uganda project which many local clubs have supported. In September we will welcome the district governor and zone chairman and their wives. In September, six members will be attending a Lioness Forum in Havelock North, a busy time ahead.

Greytown Lioness Club have been planning their programme for the year and some exciting things will be happening in the coming months. Pip Dellabarca, also known as The Dog Whisperer, spoke at our last meeting on the subject of misunderstood dogs and how to have a better relationship with your pet dog.

Greytown Lions and Lioness Clubs recently gave $5000 to the Life Flight Trust—enough for two trips between Wairarapa and Wellington. The club also donated firewood to the Kuranui Girls’ First XI hockey team, Greytown

Martinborough Lions continued to keep busy over the winter months. Regular working bees have cut up several trees for firewood on various properties for future donations and sales 2016-17. Regular checking of the Martinborough Lions trapline at the Pinnacles in Aorangi Forest Park have continued to yield predators such as stoats and weasels. Lions also contributed to the Okorewa Lagoon Planting Day on July 16 organised by the

South Wairarapa Biodiversity group.

Martinborough Lioness Club gathered to enjoy a luncheon to welcome in their new board and president Dian Marment. Members are at present supporting the local Wharekaka Care Facility with their fundraising while continuing to support the local breakfast and homework programme for school children. For information about joining a Lions Club, go to www.lionsclubs.org.nz

HI-VIZ IMPROVES RURAL KIDS SAFETY School Bus High-Viz Vests for Rural School Students Children waiting for the school bus on rural roads are often hard to see. We are providing children (via their schools) reflective vests to be worn when on the roadside waiting to get on and off the bus to help increase their visibility.

Whareama School

As a parent you’re probably well aware that children can be on the roadside waiting for the bus between 7-8.45am and returning between 3.15-4.30pm so if you’re on the road take more care knowing that a child may be running late in the mornings or excited to get home in the afternoons.

What else can you do to help make our roads safer?

1. The legal speed limit to drive past a stopped school bus is 20km/h in both directions, please slow down.

2. Look and think ahead when driving. Especially when coming into a section of sun strike or shading.

3. Look twice, when you quickly scan the road your brain only picks up what it is expecting to see, take a second look.

4. Encourage your child to be comfortable in bright colours.

And if you’re out walking, riding or jogging on your rural road, make sure you can be seen.

Wainuioru School

Please share these messages with your neighbours. No matter if you’re walking, riding, jogging or driving, we ALL have a responsibility for our own safety and of those around us on Wairarapa Roads.

For more information contact your school in the first instance or contact us:

Eco – and everything that goes with it, must be one of the most misused prefixes ever.

It pertains to ecology – from the Greek oikos, meaning house. Therefore it relates to the home or habitat of species – plants and animals.

Keeping the real meaning in mind, some of today’s uses of the word are reasonable, while others are amusing and some just plain silly.

How about:  An eco-casket (coffin). Well, it will be home for quite a while!  An eco-funeral. Not necessarily held at home I’m told, but at a “funeral home”.  An eco-holiday. Surely only possible if you own a caravan – or if you simply stay at home.  An eco-home. That’s a home home presumably? or an eco-house. That’s a home house – it’s what most people use a house for!  Then is eco-washer, an eco-fabric, ecofurniture, eco-clothing, eco-packaging, eco-insulation, eco-fuel (possibly for burning your house down), eco-vehicle (not to be driven beyond the front gate – unless lived in), and even eco-eggs

Following the unfortunate demise of Midweek’s former conservation columnist, Thales - whom Midweek is told was buried vertically to save space - Mr Fielding has agreed to supply copy in his stead. He defines Ecotopia as an ecologically ideal society. (laid I presume in some room of the house, or perhaps in the hen’s own house?)  and eco-infinitum Our eco-friendliness has perhaps got a little carried away. The word that we might have been seeking was “enviro-” from environmental, but perhaps it’s too big a word? Interesting how many people can’t spell it correctly.

Terms such as ecosystem, ecosphere, ecoclimate, ecotone, ecotype and ecophysiology etc, are genuine scientific words with a proper use of “eco-”.

The others are window-dressing words, desperately attempting to cash in on some fashionable greenness.

And isn’t it fashionable? It wasn’t always, as this quote reveals: “The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists and other subversives. We intend to clean them out, even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.” – former US Attorney General John N. Mitchell.

Mitchell was convicted after Watergate of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury – obviously not a good green bloke!

New website offers information & options for school leavers “What am I going to do?”, “Where can I live?”, “How can I pay for that?”

A new, free website has been launched to help the 65,000 New Zealand students who finish school each year to find the answers to these and many more questions school leavers and their families face.

SchoolLeaver.nz provides high school students and their parents with information and links to university, polytechnic and ITO study and private training courses offered in New Zealand.

With no log-in or subscriptions needed, SchoolLeaver.nz makes exploring potential options after high school simpler and easier.

“It’s never been more important for school leavers to have as much information as they can get hold off when deciding on their next step after school,” says SchoolLeaver.nz director Tim Greene.

“Nearly 70% of school leavers go on to tertiary study or vocational training courses, but for a large number, school’s over.”

“Having useful information there to help all students, regardless of what options they choose, is the key point behind Schoollleaver.nz.”

In addition to core study and training information, SchoolLeaver.nz provides a range of information and guides for students and their families.

Details on tertiary and training institutions are featured, while other topics SchoolLeaver

features to help students include money (student loans, allowances, scholarships, banking, tax, KiwiSaver), accommodation (hostels, flatting, home stays), job hunting (resume preparation, how-tos), gap years, and personal lifestyle info (health, sport after school, physical and online safety).

Keeping SchoolLeaver even more useful to students is a bespoke news feed, featuring news related to tertiary study, training, new courses, work opportunities and the employment landscape current students may face.

SchoolLeaver.nz has been designed as a desktop/tablet/mobile responsive website as opposed to an app.

These formats mean parents are more likely to view or use the site, simplifying easy twoway dialogue between students and parents, and importantly, between students and their career advisors.

The range of formats allows students to share with friends or be helped in their explorations if that works for them.

Teachers in a number of locations around the country who have viewed SchoolLeaver. nz rated highly its ‘one-stop-shop’ comprehensive nature, and the fact that the site can help all students, not just the most academically able, was also highly valued.

These attributes will help SchoolLeaver.nz earn its place among the tool kits students use to base their post secondary school choices on.

EDUCATION

FOCUS

Music education vital University of Canterbury Senior Lecturer in Music Education, Dr Patrick Shepherd, is passionate about music education, technology and creativity. His musical compositions have been performed throughout New Zealand, in the USA, South Korea, Germany, China, Russia and Australia.

Prompted by a recent survey that paints a “bleak” picture of the state of music in New Zealand primary schools, Dr Shepherd argues music education is vital for young people to thrive.

“I am a firm believer that if you want new ideas, read old books, and they don’t come much older than those written by Plato, who said of music, “I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for in the patterns of music and all the arts are the keys of learning.”

I have taught music in various different schools and colleges for nearly 30 years and I remain a staunch advocate for music as the perfect subject where all the others meet.

similar claims for their subjects, too, but the wealth of research, from Plato onwards, points to music as the key to a meaningful and rich education for a child.

Grand claims, but how does this actually work? Through music a child is exposed to counting (maths), reading (literacy), comprehension (deciphering musical notation in a “foreign” language), creativity (composing), cultural competency (kapa haka and waiata), physical education (playing instruments), science (experimenting with opportunity to work and learn alongside each other. Some of the classes work as a ‘hub’, sharing teachers and spaces.

A very special feature of our school is our ‘Ākonga Māori’ stream. These classes provide learning based on strong links to te reo and tikanga māori. We are the only school in the Wairarapa with these classes. If you might be interested in your child being part of one of these classes in 2017 you are very welcome to come and visit to find out more.

Music has taken me all over the world, to every continent – including Antarctica – meeting the most amazing people and doing things I could not otherwise have done, so I know all about how music nurtures and provides.” of learning for our Year 7s and 8s, with lots of links to colleges, special programmes and specialist teachers. We are looking forward to this exciting development.

Visitors are always welcome at Carterton School – no appointment is necessary, just call into the office.

An enrolment zone is in place but we regularly have some spaces for out of zone students. See the school web site or call the office to find out more. We look forward to seeing you and sharing our school with you!

Primary school students need science

2016 & 2017

AS WELL AS READING, WRITING AND MATHS Primary school students need a good working knowledge of what science is and its strengths and weaknesses, says the New Zealand School Trustees Association.

They also need to be able to ask informed questions about science issues, it says.

Boards of trustees have an important responsibility to make sure that primary school students are given a strong platform for understanding and learning about science throughout their lives.

as an open-minded process for turning science ideas into questions that can be investigated in a logical and systematic way, that still leaves room for creative insights is an important focus for primary students.

Boards of trustees are responsible for ensuring that the science curriculum is well delivered in their school, alongside other skills such as maths (numeracy) and reading and writing (literacy).

In the last 22 years, the Peace Foundation has given peer mediation skills training to teachers and students from a total of 2000 schools.

IN EVERY SCHOOL

The foundation has established a fundraising page at www.givealittle.co.nz/project/ peacefoundation.

EDUCATION

Students also need to understand how science interacts with different cultures and how this can lead to the evolution of scientific ideas.

Boards of trustees can meet their responsibilities by making sure that high student achievement in science is part of the school’s strategic plan, and that the school is providing science teaching that aligns with the New Zealand Curriculum and Te Marautanga o Aotearoa.

Christopher Le Breton, the Peace Foundation’s Co-General Manager says there are two goals with this Givealittle campaign.

“Firstly to raise $300,000 to get peer mediation into 160 schools, and secondly to develop the project to ensure Peer Mediation will be established in each and every school in New Zealand.”

It currently provides resources to about 450 schools, and has in the last year given dedicated trainings in 80 schools.

19

have access to the support, leadership and resources they need to make this happen.

To make this happen, they need to insist on regular, good quality information about how this is being managed, and how student achievement in science is tracking over time.

The Peer Mediation Programme involves a neutral person, usually a peer, who facilitates a process to help the disputants find positive, mutually acceptable solutions to solve their problem.

Mediators as young as five years old can do it successfully with their peers, says Mr Le Breton.

“Research results from the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education show how powerfully effective the Peer Mediation Programme is in reducing violence in school and raising pupil attainments.

“The programme is New Zealand-made and developed. It works. Kids love it (they take responsibility for their own behaviour) and teachers love it (they can refer minor conflicts to the peer mediators and enjoy

FOCUS hassle-free playground duty). When minor conflicts are resolved, they do not escalate into major conflicts.”

Christina Barruel, the Head of Peace Education for the Peace Foundation says it has had interest from the UK, Ireland, Pakistan, Hong Kong, Australia and Fiji to use its methods and materials.

“It is time to get the skills of peer mediation into every school to prevent violence, raise standards and help make our communities safer.”

“We’d like people from across New Zealand to join us as members and volunteers to help us raise funds to get Peer Mediation into schools and workplaces across NZ. This will increase tolerance and respect, and reduce violence and bullying”, says Mr Le Breton.

The basis for South End School’s programme is the New Zealand Curriculum. Children receive learning experiences in all subjects of the curriculum, with a particular emphasis on Literacy and Numeracy development.

Our highly motivated and well qualified staff focus on delivering an excellent and well balanced education to all children.

We strive to develop students who exhibit our “Four Rs”, that is being respectful, responsible, resourceful and resilient.

Learning for life Any enquiries contact our Principal Alastair Kay PH: 06 379 4000 275 High Street South, Carterton

Our vision is that South End students will be confident, resourceful and resilient learners, and that they will develop respectful and responsible relationships with themselves, others and the environment, Along with a deliberate focus on the pursuit of excellent achievement and effort, and positive behaviour, we aim to develop children who exhibit self-confidence, a sense of self-worth, and pride in themselves and their school.

South End School is a full primary school with classes from Years One to Eight. The school includes several classes, covering all levels, in which the teaching is based on the Montessori pedagogy and philosophy.

The students are fortunate to be taught in spacious and comfortable modern learning environments, which include our refurbished main block and the new classroom and library block which was opened last year.

EDUCATION

FOCUS

Pre-School & Littlies We are very fortunate to be able to offer the families of Carterton and the wider district two wonderful Early Childhood Centres.

Both are in cleverly adapted residences which has enabled us to maintain that natural homely feel. Both outside environments are, inviting, exciting and natural giving all children the opportunity to explore, extend their skills and sometimes just simply be. Both Teaching Teams are committed to working with families to provide the best care and education for their child and to keep children safe, physically and emotionally.

LITTLIES - provides an environment that promotes Respect and Freedom of Movement in a Primary Caregiving system.

We believe strongly that all children thrive in an environment where they feel secure, valued and respected.

We put trust in the child’s competence and know that children are effective communicators in their own unique ways.

By forming secure bonds with the children, we ensure their needs are being met emotionally, physically and developmentally.

Consistency, predictable routines and modelling the behaviour we want the children to show are keys to success.

PRESCHOOL - our Vision is to equip children with the skills they need for social and educational experiences for life, through our commitment to excellence in all aspects of early childhood education. We have strong links to local schools and we offer a unique transition-to-school programme.

Each child’s learning is based on their individual interests and strengths. Clear, consistent and fair behaviour management strategies are used to support children so they develop self control and resilience, as well as social skills including a sense of justice, respect and equity.

Preschool has developed a unique relationship with the Mangaterere Stream.

Our aim is to teach the children about the ecosystem, stream inhabitants as well as the need for clean water, local flora and fauna and the native animals that rely on the stream.

Raising healthy kids health target Health Minister Jonathan Coleman has welcomed the introduction of the new Raising Healthy Kids health target to help reduce childhood obesity.

“Obesity is a serious issue threating the health of young New Zealanders. In 2014/15 11 per cent of all children aged 2-14 years were obese. The figures for Maori and Pacific children are 15 per cent and 30 per cent respectively,” says Dr Coleman.

The new health target is one of 22 initiatives in the Childhood Obesity Plan launched by the Government. New Zealand is one of the few countries in the OECD to have a target and a comprehensive plan to tackle

childhood obesity.

The new Raising Healthy Kids health target will ensure four year olds identified as obese while getting their B4 School Check will be offered a referral to the services they and their family need to support healthy eating and activity.

Over 58,600 children have benefited from this free check in the last year. Of that, over 1,400 were referred on for support with healthy eating and activity.

“Under the new target by December 2017 we expect that over 4,000 children a year 95 per cent of children identified as obese

- being supported to achieve a healthy weight,” says Dr Coleman.

Professor Hayden McRobbie has been appointed as the Raising Healthy Kids Clinical Champion Childhood Obesity.

Professor McRobbie will work closely with the primary care sector and support the implementation of clinical pathways. He has over 16 years’ experience in behaviour change interventions.

Further information about the Plan and the new health target is available on the Ministry of Health website, www.health.govt.nz

Children overlooked IN THE TRANSITION TO PRIMARY SCHOOL

A Victoria University researcher says parents and teachers working through the transition from early childhood services to primary school sometimes forget to ask children for their input.

Maggie Haggerty, a senior lecturer at Victoria University of Wellington, would like to see children involved alongside teachers and parents when it comes to their journey to primary school.

“It’s of huge interest to parents and of course they want to be as involved as they can, but you also need to ask children how they are feeling.”

Previous studies have asked older students what advice they would give to other children before they start school, and Ms Haggerty thinks that this approach can offer valuable insights.

“A lot of children mention all the school rules that they need to learn. Teachers can sometimes underestimate how big an issue that can be for a child, when there are so many other things that they need to learn in a short time.”

GrowingNZ’s new online directory www. growingnz.org.nz presents more than 150 types of scholarship offered by a wide range of organisations. These are targeted at secondary-level students to help them in their next step, or to students on tertiary courses.

“This adds up to nearly 1000 individual scholarships being handed out each year. The common factor is that all these scholarships are for young people with an interest in helping take quality food and fibre to the world, or working with water, land, plants or animals – which is what the primary
