Wakari Hospital

Wakari Hospital is a hospital located in Dunedin, New Zealand. It is situated in the suburb of Wakari, about three kilometres north-west of the city centre. The hospital is operated by the Te Whatu Ora (formerly Southern District Health Board) and is closely associated with Dunedin Hospital. It contains specialised psychiatric services but also cares for people with intellectual disability and people undergoing physical rehabilitation. It has units for forensic psychiatry, psychiatric emergency services, long- and short-term secure psychiatric units, Māori mental health, physical rehabilitation and increasingly community out-reach services such as public health and district nursing. History From 1915 the site was initially an infectious diseases centre, and later a sanatorium. In 1957 it was redeveloped as a general hospital, serving as the main Otago hospital while the Dunedin Hospital was being redeveloped in the 1970s. In the early 1980s, the Nurses' home was leased to the University for use as a student hostel, this being taken back with the closure of the Cherry Farm Hospital in 1992. Wakari continued as a geriatric and psychiatric care facility, the geriatric wards gradually being wound down through the nineties with government reforms to privatise long-term care. The care of the elderly assessment and rehabilitation wards were transferred back to Dunedin Hospital. Attempts were made to sell the main block of the hospital, which found occasional use as a facility for live-in drug trials and even a temporary accommodation during important rugby tests. Current directions Currently the main block is being redeveloped to house a variety of out-reach services such as Public Health and District Nursing, moving out of expensive leased premises and centralising in properties the Southern District Health Board already owns. Continuing consideration is being given to whether all the site needs to be retained and it has been proposed that some more land be sold to Leslie Groves Hospital. On 3 July 2026, Health New Zealand ordered the closure of Wakari Hospital's forensic intellectual disability unit "ward 10A" after an inspection by Chief Ombudsman John Allen in March 2026 found "compelling evidence of punitive and coercive treatment" of ward patients. Examples of such treatment included a patient being secluded in their room for 18 months, patients being blocked from using the toilet and a patient being moved around the ward on a bariatric evacuation drag mat. Health New Zealand confirmed that it had halted new admissions to the ward on 24 April and had begun relocating the patients to other facilities from May 2026.

Wakatipu High School

Wakatipu High School is a state coeducational secondary school located in Queenstown, New Zealand. Serving Years 9 to 13 (ages 13 to 18). A total of 1,543 students attend the school as of March 2026. As of 2024 it is the only public high school in Queenstown. Enrolment As of March 2026, the school has roll of 1,543 students, of which 156 (10.1%) identify as Māori. As of 2026, the school has an Equity Index of 416, placing it amongst schools whose students have few socioeconomic barriers to achievement (roughly equivalent to deciles 8 and 9 under the former socio-economic decile system). Property The school was originally located at 68 Fryer Street in central Queenstown. It was relocated to a new site at 47/49 Red Oaks Drive, Frankton during the 2017/18 summer holidays. Development of the new Wakatipu High School cost approximately $50 million and took place over the course of 2017. The school was developed with a controversial open plan design with the intention of encouraging constructive communication between students. Further development of the school was undertaken in 2020, with an extension of the school being completed in mid-2022 and a second gymnasium being completed at the start of 2023. In 2023, the maximum student capacity at the site was said to be 1,800. In 2024, it was forecast that continuing growth in the school roll would require that within three years, the 17 temporary classrooms that had been removed from the Frankton site following completion of property upgrades would need to be returned, unless a site for a second school could be obtained. Curriculum Wakatipu High School uses National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) based assessments; the “credits” earned from these exams go towards a student's NCEA qualification. Junior students (year 9 and 10) can gain badges through their "Ākonga Passport" which recognises students for exemplifying the school's values. They can gain 30 points to achieve bronze, 60 points to achieve silver and 100 points to gain the gold level of the Ākonga Passport. To earn points, students need to consistently demonstrate 'the Wakatipu Way', a name for the school's five values; excellence, respect, resilience, inclusion, and responsibility. Education Review Office reports In 2024, the Education Review Office reported favourably on the progress that the school had made over the past three years, particularly in reading and writing in the junior school. Disparities in learning outcomes between boys and girls had reduced, and outcomes for Māori and Pacific students had improved. Houses Wakatipu High School uses a house system with different colours: Arthur House (blue), Duncan House (black), Fox House (red), Hay House (green), and Mackenzie House (orange). Within these houses are a dean, an assistant dean, and 4-5 student leaders. The houses are named after historical figures from the region.

Whanganui Airport

Whanganui Airport (IATA: WAG, ICAO: NZWU), named Wanganui Airport until 2016, is the airport that serves Whanganui, New Zealand. It is located to the south of Whanganui River, approximately 4 km from the centre of Whanganui. The airport has a single asphalt runway and three grass runways, and its single terminal has two gates. History The airport opened in 1954, and services to the airport began in November that year. In September 2013, Air New Zealand announced that it would withdraw services from Whanganui to Wellington and Taupo in December 2013. Sounds Air took over the Wellington route until 15 May 2015. Air New Zealand then withdrew service from Auckland to Whanganui on 31 July 2016. The next day, Air Chathams began service between Whanganui and Auckland, replicating Air New Zealand's schedule and, according to then-mayor Annette Main, saving the airport from potential closure. Work to resurface the asphalt runway began in October 2023. The new surface is expected to last for 15 years. Operations Air Chathams now operates daily flights between Whanganui and Auckland. There are three flights in each direction on weekdays and one on weekend days, using ATR 72-500 aircraft. Air Whanganui, which offers business charter and medivac flights, is based at Whanganui Airport and provides services throughout the country. In 2023, Air Whanganui began offering scholarships to Whanganui high-school students who are interested in a career in aviation.

Ward Observatory

The Ward Observatory is an astronomical observatory in Whanganui, New Zealand. Built in 1901 and administered by the Wanganui Astronomical Society, it is named after Joseph Ward (1862–1927), the society's first president and longtime director of the observatory. It houses a 9+1⁄2 inches (24 cm) telescope, the largest unmodified refractor telescope in use in New Zealand. The Observatory was designed by A. Atkins to Joseph Ward's specifications, cost £290 to build, and was formally opened by Premier Richard Seddon on 25 May 1903. The telescope had been bought second-hand in England for £450, and with its mounting weighed three tons. In the Astronomical Society's heyday before and during World War I, Joseph Ward was Honorary Director of the Observatory and Charles Whitmore Babbage, grandson of Charles Babbage the President, Secretary, and Treasurer. At this time Ward and his assistant Thomas Allison catalogued over 200 double stars, 88 of which are still recognised as “Ward doubles”. Ward also ran public viewing nights at the observatory twice a week. In 1926 the observatory was gifted by the Astronomical Society to the Wanganui City Council, debt free. After Joseph Ward's death, his son William Herschel Ward was honorary director of the observatory from 1927 to 1959. Since 1984 the Ward Observatory and its telescope have had a Heritage New Zealand Category I rating. Located in Cooks Gardens, access to the observatory is from St Hill Street. Public viewing is on Friday evenings after dark, or by arrangement with the Astronomical Society. School groups can attend by appointment. References
Washdyke Lagoon

Die Washdyke Lagoon ist eine Lagune im Timaru District der Region Canterbury auf der Südinsel von Neuseeland. Geographie Die Washdyke Lagoon befindet sich direkt an der Küste, rund 3 km nördlich des Stadtzentrums von Timaru. Die Wasserfläche der Lagune umfasst rund 20 Hektar. Das Marschland, das die Wasserfläche einfasst, besitzt eine Fläche von ebenfalls rund 20 Hektar. Die Lagune erstreckt sich über eine Länge von rund 1,3 km in Südsüdwest-Nordnordost-Richtung und misst an der breitesten Stelle rund 230 m in Westnordwest-Ostsüdost-Richtung. Der einzige Zufluss zur Lagune kommt über den von Westen kommenden Washdyke Creek, der in der Mitte der Lagune auf das Gewässer trifft. Die Entwässerung der Washdyke Lagoon findet an ihrem südlichen Ende über einen rund 370 m Abflusskanal zum Pazifischen Ozean statt. Geschichte Die Lagune besaß im Jahr 1881 noch eine Wasserfläche von 235 Hektar. Durch Trockenlegungen und Aufschüttungen sowie durch natürlichen Küstenprozessen hat sich die Wasserfläche der Lagune in den zurückliegenden Jahren bis auf rund 20 Hektar verringert. Flora und Fauna Die flache und durch brackiges Wasser gekennzeichnete Lagune ist durch eine Barriere aus Kiesstrand vom Meer getrennt. Das Feuchtgebiet wird durch Salzwiesen seewärts und Süßwassersümpfen landeinwärts bestimmt, wobei bewachsenen Salzwiesen rund 75 % und die bewachsenen vom Süßwasser geprägten Gebiete 25 % des gesamten Bewuchses ausmachen. Paul Sagar, ein Wissenschaftler des National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research stellte in seinem Untersuchungszeitraum von Januar 1966 bis Februar 1972 fest, dass 35 von 45 Vogelarten, die identifiziert werden konnten die Lagune regelmäßig nutzten. In einer Untersuchung, die J. L Benn vom Department of Conservation im Jahr 2010 veröffentlichte, konnte der Wissenschaftler sogar 65 Arten nachweisen, wovon 46 % der Vögel als endemisch eingestuft werden konnten. Washdyke Lagoon Wildlife Refuge Das Washdyke Lagoon Wildlife Refuge, das die gesamte Lagune inklusive des Strands zum Meer und einen Teil des Lands nach Westen hin umfasst, kommt insgesamt auf eine Fläche von rund 106 Hektar. Das Gebiet wurde mit der Veröffentlichung am 22. Mai 2009 in der New Zealand Gazette benannt und als Crown Protected Area unter Schutz gestellt. Siehe auch Liste der Seen in Neuseeland Literatur J.

Wellington Girls' College

Wellington Girls' College was founded in 1883 in Wellington, New Zealand. At that time it was called Wellington Girls' High School. Wellington Girls' College is a year 9 to 13 state secondary school, located in Thorndon in central Wellington. History Seeing a need for higher education for girls the founding fathers of Wellington College leased a building in Abel Smith Street in 1882 and appointed Miss Martha Hamilton as the Lady Principal of the school. It opened on 2 February 1883 with 40 students. However, by the end of its first year the roll increased to almost 100 girls, and when the Premier, the Rt. Hon. Robert Stout visited the school in 1884 the building was overcrowded with 130 students. As a result of his visit the school was moved to its current site in Pipitea Street. Before the school the Colonial Hospital, Wellington's first public hospital, was built on the site in 1847. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1848 and a new building large enough to meet the needs of the city was built in 1855. It was replaced by Wellington Hospital. In 1925 the Wellington East Girls' College was established to serve the southern and eastern suburbs.

Câmara Municipal de Wellington

A Câmara Municipal de Wellington é uma sala de concertos e câmara municipal em Wellington, Nova Zelândia. A construção começou em 1902 e o edifício foi oficialmente aberto em 7 de Dezembro de 1904. A fachada da câmara municipal (a que está virada para a Cuba Street) possuía um pórtico em estilo românico e uma torre do relógio com 150 pés. Não houve nenhum relógio na torre até 1922, quando John Blundell, dono do The Evening Post, doou um. Em 1934 a torre foi removida, como precaução, após o terramoto de Hawke's Bay em 1931, e o principal pórtico, o frontão, o balaústre e cornija foram também removidos. O edifício foi atingido por dois terramotos; um em 1942 e outro em 1943. Nessa altura os capitéis de ordem coríntia, no exterior, foram substituidos por capitéis de ordem toscana. Em 1980 o Centro Michael Fowler foi construído em frente da entrada principal do edifício, tapando-a e antecipando a demolição do edifício. No entanto, a Associação dos Sítios Históricos da Nova Zelândia persuadiu o Município de Wellington a manter a Câmara Municipal.Em 1989 foram criados planos para a Praça Cívica, entre a Câmara Municipal e a antiga biblioteca. Como parte disto, a câmara municipal foi completamente restaurada de 1991 a 1992. Durante o processo a câmara de concerto foi demolida e substituída por salas de recepção. O auditório principal tem uma das melhores acústicas do mundo. Nele ocorreram numerosos concertos (incluindo um dos Beatles), assim como espectáculos de moda, reuniões de debutantes, etc. Embora os escritórios municipais não sejam todos na câmara municipal, a câmara ainda alberga o escritório do prefeito e vários outros escritórios.
