Toko School

Toko School is a full co-educational primary school located in Stratford, New Zealand which was established in 1893. Toko School was opened in 1893 and was little more than a room above a milking shed. The school was soon properly established on its current site 2 kilometres past the township of Toko. Toko School is a traditional country school, with a roll of approximately 100 children. At one time the school was a district high school. In its history it has twice burnt down and been rebuilt. In 1953 Kota Road School amalgamated with Toko. In 1993 neighbouring Huinga School closed and the children started attending Toko. In 2006 neighbouring Douglas School also closed with fourteen children enrolling at Toko School. At the end of 2006 another Education Development Initiative occurred with the closure of Matau School and 2 additional children were enrolled. Toko School is governed by a Board of Trustees, as with all New Zealand Schools. There are 5.8 teachers. The school is organised around six Learning Stars. These are: Partnership, Personal Best, Learning to Learn, Challenging Curriculum, Foundation Skills Learning Environment. Children are awarded Stars of Learning, which are collected are awarded at school assemblies. In classrooms an ongoing record is kept of these in the form of a classroom display. The children are also members of one of four houses: Kauri, Rimu, Totara and kahikatea (These are all NZ native trees.) This system was introduced in 1997. Each year a shield is awarded to the winning house. A photo highlighting the architecture of the school is available at the PukeAriki Museum in New Plymouth. It exemplifies a model of educational architecture of the 1930s and 1940s. There is a strong emphasis on the development of oral language as the essential literacy. New Zealand Speech Board exams have been a part of the curriculum since 2003. Since 2006 there have been talent initiatives with effort going into promoting children's own inherent abilities and strengths through talent and interest programs. As part of a long-standing tradition, Toko School students are encouraged to raise and care for either a calf or lamb during Spring. An event known as "Calf and Lamb Day" is generally a morning event which takes place each year after Labour Day. Another significant traditional event that occurs at Toko School is the annual Jones Cup. This has been held since 1932. It is a day of netball and rugby. The cup was presented by a member of the Jones family and is still awarded today. In 2006 and 2007 the "Jones Cup" was won by Toko School. In 2006 Ngaere School attended the Jones Cup for the first time. However, schools which amalgamated with Ngaere, including Bird Road and Pukengahu, were part of the "old" competition. Although the school maintains strong traditional roots it is also proactive in looking to the future. The development of information communication technology is an important backbone of the schools curriculum. Late 2006 Toko Schools' IT infrastructure was upgraded, paid for primarily by the Ministry of Education. Notes External links Toko School website Education Review Office Report 2005 Pukeariki Museum
Tokomairiro High School

Tokomairiro High School is a co-educational, state secondary school in Milton, New Zealand, often simply known as "Toko". History Founded in 1856 as Tokomairiro School, it is one of New Zealand's oldest schools. It was originally established at Fairfax (now Tokoiti) in the southeast of Milton, with Alexander Ayson as the first teacher. As Milton grew in size due to the Otago gold rush in the early 1860s, a larger school was soon needed. This was erected close to the centre of Milton in Spenser Street in 1863. In 1868, the Otago Provincial Government named Toko as one of the province's four grammar schools. By the late 1870s, the school had swollen in size from its original 24 pupils to over 300. A new building was needed, as the Spenser Street site had been made to accommodate only some 200 children. The new school, on the present site at the north end of Union Street, was opened in 1880. The current school buildings were added to this stone building during the mid 20th century, and "the old stone school" erected in 1880 was finally demolished in 1970. During the 1880s, the school moved towards a more technical and scientific curriculum. The school's headmaster (its fourth) James Reid, was a keen student of chemistry, and technical subjects taught ranged from the "pure" sciences to agricultural studies and woodworking. Reid was headmaster for 26 years, from 1880 to 1906. During the 1930s, the school officially became a District High School. This was finally split into the current Tokomairiro High School (with intermediate and secondary classes) and Milton Primary School in 1966. Most of the current school buildings date from around or after this. Enrolment As of March 2026, the school has roll of 201 students, of whom 49 (24.4%) identify as Māori. As of 2026, the school has an Equity Index of 500, placing it amongst schools whose students have many socioeconomic barriers to achievement (roughly equivalent to deciles 2 and 3 under the former socio-economic decile system).

Tomahawk Lagoon

Die Tomahawk Lagoon ist eine aus zwei Teilen bestehende Lagune im Stadtgebiet von Dunedin City in der Region Otago auf der Südinsel von Neuseeland. Geographie Die Tomahawk Lagoon befindet sich östlich des Stadtteils Andersons Bay in Dunedin. Die Lagune beginnt rund 3,6 km südöstlich des Octagon der Stadt, das als Stadtzentrum bekannt ist, verfügt mit seinen beiden Teilen über eine Flächenausdehnung von 31 Hektar und hat südsüdöstlich des Stadtteils Andersons Bay Zugang zum Pazifischen Ozean. Der östliche Teil der Lagune besitzt bei einer Länge von rund 675 m eine Flächenausdehnung von circa 10 km² und erstreckt sich in Ostnordost-Westsüdwest-Richtung. Über einen schmalen, rund 80 m langen Ablauf fließt das Wasser der auf einer Höhe von rund 10 m liegenden Lagune zu dem westlichen Teil des Gewässers. Dieser Teil erstreckt sich rund 1080 m in einer annähernden Nord-Süd-Richtung und umfasst bei annähernder Seehöhe rund 21 km². Entwässert wird das Gesamtsystem über einen circa 285 m langen Zugang zum Meer, der über 205 m über den Sandstrand der Küste führt. Schutzgebiet Rund 33 Hektar des Gebietes ist als Wildlife Management Reserve ausgewiesen und wird vom Department of Conservation (DOC) betreut. Reste eines Buschlandes, das sich entlang eines Drittels am östlichen Teil der westlichen Lagune und am nordöstlichen Rand der östlichen Lagune befindet, sind seit 1995 durch eine Freiraum-Vereinbarung durch den Queen Elizabeth II National Trust geschützt.

Tomahawk Lagoon

Tomahawk Lagoon is a twin-lobed lagoon, located at the western end of the Otago Peninsula within the city limits of Dunedin, New Zealand. It lies close to the southeastern edge of the city's main urban area, near the suburb of Ocean Grove, which lies close to its southern shore. This suburb was also known as Tomahawk until the 1930s. Name The name "Tomahawk", documented in the Otago Witness from 1852, is unlikely to be a reference to the weapon. It is more likely an anglicized form of the Māori words toma haka, often interpreted as "dance by a gravesite". Toma means a place of bones, or shrine for bones; haka is here taken to mean the Māori dance of challenge, but may rather be the Southern Māori form of the word hanga, to build or create. However, there are no known pre-European burial sites or reported finds of human bones in the area. Physical geography The lagoon, which is connected by a short stream to the Pacific Ocean, is noted for its bird life. Despite its name, it is never inundated with the sea, but is more of a shallow coastal lake, predominantly under 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) in depth. The top lagoon (inner lobe) is a wildlife reserve. Tomahawk Lagoon is separated from the sea at low tide by Tomahawk Beach, which runs east from the Lagoon's mouth for about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi). A smaller beach, Smaills Beach, lies further to the east, beyond which is the outcrop of Maori Head, 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the lagoon's mouth. A rocky reef and the small Bird Island lie close to the headland. To the west of the lagoon's mouth is the prominent headland of Lawyers Head, a major Dunedin landmark. The outer lobe (the Bottom Lagoon) is the larger, being some 900 metres (3,000 ft) in length and 300 metres (980 ft) wide at its widest point. It is roughly a parallelogram in shape, and covers an area of close to 20 hectares (49 acres). The Top Lagoon joins the Bottom Lagoon via a short stream in the middle of the latter's eastern shore. It is roughly triangular, being 700 metres (2,300 ft) in length and 300 metres (980 ft) in width, and covers an area of some 9.6 hectares (24 acres). The total area of the lagoon is thus some 30 hectares (74 acres). The total catchment area of the lagoon is 466 hectares (1,150 acres). Several small streams flow through the steep valleys which lie to the north and northeast. The largest of these is Lagoon Creek, which flows from near Arthur's Seat for some 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) before feeding the Top Lagoon at its northeastern end. Owing to the pastoral nature of much of the surrounding land, nutrient runoff into the lake is frequently high, resulting in its often eutrophic nature. References
Tōtaranui

Tōtaranui is a 1 km long beach and the site of a large campsite in the Tasman Region of New Zealand administered by the Department of Conservation (DOC). It is located in Abel Tasman National Park toward the northern end of the Abel Tasman Track and is often used as a starting or finishing point for the walk. Tōtaranui is noted for the golden colour of its sand, more intense than other beaches in the Park, the result of a high content of orthoclase minerals in the eroded granite sands of the vicinity. The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "many tōtara trees" for Tōtaranui. History The Ngāti Tūmatakōkiri iwi, having been forced out of Queen Charlotte Sound / Tōtaranui by Ngāti Kurī, settled north of the sounds along the coast and may have brought the name Tōtaranui with them. Once a farming settlement, the only permanent residents now are DOC staff. During summer, the population swells by up to 1000 campers plus hikers on the track. Water taxi services from Mārahau link Tōtaranui with other localities around the Park coastline, while a road links Tōtaranui with Tākaka via Pigeon Saddle. Farming ceased after the foundation of the Abel Tasman National Park in 1942 and forest has been allowed to naturally regenerate through mānuka and kānuka to its original mix of southern beech and lowland podocarp.

HMNZS Achilles (70)

HMNZS Achilles byl lehký křižník třídy Leander, který sloužil v britském, novozélandském a nakonec indickém námořnictvu. Známým se stal svojí účastí v bitvě u ústí Rio de La Plata. Byla to druhá z pěti lodí třídy Leander. Achilles byl původně postaven pro Royal Navy a byl převzat jako HMS Achilles 6. října 1933. Od 31. března 1937 sloužil jako člen novozélandské divize a sloužil v ní až do založení novozélandského námořnictva v září 1941. Tehdy byl přejmenován na HMNZS Achilles a sloužilo na něm v průměru 60 % Novozélanďanů. Na začátku 2. světové války Achilles hlídkoval u západního pobřeží Jižní Ameriky a hledal německé obchodní lodě. Dne 22. října 1939 připlul na Falklandské ostrovy, aby se stal spolu s HMS Exeter a HMS Ajax členem svazu G pod velením komodora Harwooda. Ráno 13. prosince 1939 svaz G složený z těžkého křižníku Exeter a lehkých křižníků Ajax a Achilles spatřil na obzoru kouř. Britové se původně domnívali, že jde o kapesní bitevní loď Admiral Scheer, ale nakonec se ukázalo, že jde o její sesterskou loď Admiral Graf Spee. Ze vzdálenosti 20 km začala bitva později nazývaná jako bitva u ústí Rio de La Plata. Během ní byl Achilles poškozen blízkým zásahem, při kterém byly 4 námořníci zabiti a několik dalších včetně kapitána W. E. Parryho bylo zraněno. Jejich soupeř Admiral Graf Spee byl v bitvě několikrát zasažen a začala mu docházet munice. Obrátil proto k neutrálnímu přístavu Montevideo, kam za stálého sledování lehkými křižníky doplul po 22. hodině. Po této bitvě se Achilles vrátil do Aucklandu, kam připlul 23. února 1940 a kde byl do června 1940 na opravách. Po japonském vstupu do války se připojil k jednotkám ANZAC a sloužil při ochraně vojenských konvojů. Dne 5. ledna 1943, když spolupracoval s americkými jednotkami u Nové Georgie, byl zasažen bombou do dělové věže X. Oprava v Portsmouthu trvala od dubna 1943 do května 1944. Během oprav byla dělová věž X vyměněna za čtyři čtyřhlavňové dvouliberní protiletadlové kanóny. Po opravách byl odeslán zpět do Pacifiku, kde se připojil k Britské pacifické flotě (TF 57). S tou se zúčastnil závěrečných akcí v Pacifiku. Po válce se Achilles vrátil britskému námořnictvu, ale 5. července 1948 byl prodán indickému námořnictvu jako HMIS (později INS) Delhi. V něm sloužil až do odprodání k sešrotování v Bombaji 30. června 1978. Dělová věž Y byla vyjmuta a darována novozélandské vládě. Dnes je vystavena na námořní základně v Aucklandu. V roce 1956 si dokonce Achilles zahrál sám sebe ve filmu Bitva u La Plata. Literatura Ivo Pejčoch, Zdeněk Novák, Tomáš Hájek. Válečné lodě 4. Naše vojsko (1993).

HMNZS Achilles (70)

L'HMNZS Achilles (Pennant number 70), quinta nave da guerra britannica a portare questo nome, è stato un incrociatore leggero della Classe Leander della Royal Navy. Venne impostata nei cantieri Cammell-Laird l'11 giugno 1931, varata l'11 settembre 1932 ed entrò in servizio il 10 ottobre 1933. Divenne famoso soprattutto per aver partecipato il 13 dicembre 1939 alla Battaglia del Rio della Plata nella quale, assieme al gemello Ajax e all'incrociatore pesante Exeter, danneggiò col tiro dei cannoni la corazzata tascabile tedesca Admiral Graf Spee che in seguito fu costretta ad autoaffondarsi al largo di Montevideo, Uruguay. Successivamente il 23 febbraio 1940 si portò ad Auckland, Nuova Zelanda, dove entrò nello ANZAC Squadron; nel settembre 1941 venne ceduto alla costituenda Royal New Zealand Navy, acquisendo il prefisso HMNZS (His Majesty's New Zealand Ship ed impegnato sul fronte del Pacifico, partecipando alla campagna di Guadalcanal e alla battaglia di Okinawa. Servizio Anni 30 Al momento dell'ingresso in servizio l'Achilles venne assegnata al New Zealand Squadron, che raggruppava navi equipaggiate principalmente con neozelandesi. Pochi mesi prima dello scoppio della seconda guerra mondiale venne assegnato alla Divisione sudamericana, dove rimase dopo l'inizio delle ostilità. La seconda guerra mondiale 1939-1941 Il 3 settembre 1939 giorno dell'entrata in guerra del Regno Unito, intercettò le navi tedesche Olinda e Carl Fritzen, che si autoaffondarono prima di essere catturate. Per il resto del mese rimase di pattuglia nella zona delle isole Falkland, venendo impiegata dall'inizio del mese di ottobre nella caccia alla corsara tedesca Graf Spee. Il 5 dicembre intercettò insieme alla Cumberland il mercantile tedesco Usskuma, autoaffondato anche questo dall'equipaggio. Il 13 dicembre prese parte alla battaglia del Río de la Plata insieme agli incrociatori Exeter e Ajax, costringendo la Graf Spee a riparare nel porto di Montevideo, dove si sarebbe autoaffondata pochi giorni dopo. 1942-1945 Nel dopoguerra Note Bibliografia (EN) Robert Jackson, History of the Royal Navy, Londra, Parragon, 1999, ISBN 0-7525-3219-7.
