Adam Art Gallery

The Adam Art Gallery (in Māori: Te Pātaka Toi) is a purpose-built arts gallery located in the Kelburn Campus of Victoria University of Wellington in Wellington, New Zealand. History On 15 July 1997, Jenny Harper and Tina Barton started the proceedings to establish the gallery. The building was formally opened 21 September 1999, by Sir Michael Hardie Boys, Governor General of New Zealand. The gallery's benefactors include Victoria University of Wellington Foundation, as well as Denis and Verna Adam (who the gallery was subsequently named after following their donation of NZ$1 million in 1998. The gallery was designed by Ian Athfield. It was built between the three university buildings the Old Kirk Building, the Hunter Building and the Student Union Building (on top of the existing "Culliford stair"). The stairs were built in the mid-1960s to link different buildings, but had to be abandoned for safety reasons. The building includes different gallery spaces that hold exhibitions, performances, lectures and talks. Exhibition The gallery's first exhibition was Manufacturing Meaning, which included Colin McCahon's painting "Storm Warning". The painting had been controversially sold by Victoria University to fund the Adam's construction. Selected exhibitions held at the gallery have included solo projects by Joseph Kosuth (USA), Joseph Grigely (USA), Fernanda Gomes (Brazil), Zhang Huan (PRC), Destiny Deacon (Australia), Gunther Uecker (Germany), João Maria Gusmão & Pedro Paiva (Portugal), Brett Graham (NZ), Mark Adams (NZ), Gavin Hipkins (NZ), Darcy Lange (NZ), Vivian Lynn (NZ), Pauline Rhodes (NZ) and Billy Apple (UK/US/NZ). Selected curated shows at the gallery have include Face to Face: Contemporary Art From Taiwan; Play: Recent Video from Australia and New Zealand; Concrete Horizons: Contemporary Art from China; Breaking Ice: Revisioning Antarctica; 40yearsvideoart.de, and The Subject Now. The Adam Art Gallery's admission is complimentary. Building awards In 1999 the architectural firm Athfield Architects was two awards for the building, the NZIA Resene Branch Architecture Award: Community & Cultural, and the NZIA Resene Colour Architecture Award: Community & Cultural. In 2000 it revcieved a regional award, the NZIA Resene Central Regional Architecture Award: Community & Cultural.

Air Force Museum of New Zealand

The Air Force Museum of New Zealand, formerly called The Royal New Zealand Air Force Museum, is located at Wigram, the RNZAF's first operational base, in Christchurch, in the South Island of New Zealand. It opened on 1 April 1987 as part of the celebrations for the RNZAF's 50th anniversary, and is primarily a museum of the Royal New Zealand Air Force, its predecessor, the New Zealand Permanent Air Force and New Zealand squadrons of the Royal Air Force. The Air Force Museum of New Zealand's mission is to preserve and present the history of New Zealand military aviation for commemoration, learning, inspiration and enjoyment. Overview The Museum holds the national collection of the Royal New Zealand Air Force. The collection includes objects covering the early days of New Zealand military aviation both prior to World War I and during this major conflict, the interwar years which saw the formation of the RNZAF in 1937, New Zealanders who fought in the RAF and in other Allied air forces during World War II, the RNZAF's campaign in the Pacific, and the post-war period to the present day. The collection also includes objects from former enemy forces, aircraft, aircraft components, aircraft engines, large objects, textiles, art and memorabilia as well as an extensive paper and photographic archive. Visitors can take a 40-minute guided tour through 'behind the scenes' areas of the museum, which includes the Reserve Collection hangar. The museum's most recent restoration project, an Airspeed Oxford, is now on public display since February 2016. The museum also has a Mosquito Flight Simulator, which features a mission based on the Allied bombing of German battleships in the Norwegian fiords. History In response to the 2011 earthquake, the museum opened its collections storage facility to other cultural institutions that had been damaged. The museum opened a new 6,500 m2 (70,000 sq ft) Technology Centre in February 2017. The museum's Canberra was transported to Ardmore for restoration and conversion to a B(I).12 variant in 2021. In 2023 NZ4203, a Lockheed P-3K2 Orion was transported by road to the museum from RNZAF Base Woodbourne. On 19 February 2025 NZ7001, the only RNZAF C-130H Hercules to be conserved, was flown in to the museum. The museum announced plans to build a new extension to house the Hercules and Orion in 2025, and on 26 June 2025 the Christchurch City Council announced it had approved a $5 million grant to support the project in the 2026/2027 financial year.

Albany Lakes Civic Park

Albany Lakes Reserve is a public park located in Albany, New Zealand, a suburb of Auckland. It is adjacent to the Westfield Albany shopping mall, in the centre of the commercial area. The park comprises two artificial lakes that serve both as landscape features and stormwater ponds. There are paved pathways around each lake with a boardwalk in between the lakes, and art installations along the boardwalk. The lakes were created in the late 2000s, and the park itself was officially opened on 5 November 2009. Providing an assembly/grassland area allowing up to 10,000 people to the north of the lakes, the park was designated as one of the 'fan zones' for the Rugby World Cup 2011.

Albany Senior High School, Auckland

Albany Senior High School is a state coeducational senior secondary school situated in Albany, Auckland, New Zealand. Opened in February 2009, it was New Zealand's first state senior secondary school, catering for students in Years 11 to 13 (ages 14 to 18) only; most New Zealand secondary schools traditionally cater for Years 9 to 13. As of March 2026, the school has a roll of 804 students. History Albany Senior High School was established to cater for the population growth on Auckland's North Shore. It was the first new state secondary school to open in the area since Long Bay College in 1975. Before its construction, there were protracted disputes about the siting of the school which delayed the process, so that the school initially ran from the site of its sister school, Albany Junior High School. Enrolment As of March 2026, Albany Senior High School has a roll of 804 students, of which 90 (11.2%) identify as Māori. As of 2026, the school has an Equity Index of 446, placing it amongst schools whose students have below average socioeconomic barriers to achievement (roughly equivalent to deciles 6 and 7 under the former socio-economic decile system). Classes All classes except those which require other resources take place in large open plan areas called 'Learning Commons'. These spaces enable flexibility when planning and delivering classes, including the ability to combine two classes into one for some activities, combining similar curriculum areas, such as physics and mathematics and easy access to technology. Students can utilise mobile devices such as laptops and cellphones to edit Google Docs in real-time together. Students are able to use Gchat in class to ask and answer questions, and students are permitted to perform searches on Google to answer teachers' questions. The teaching periods are 100 minutes long, twice the length of typical periods in New Zealand. Every Wednesday, students engage in a 'community based' impact project. This involves performing an act for the community. Impact projects completed include forming a business, organising and performing a 'School of Rock' concert, building a video server and digital signage solution for the school, restoring local waterways, designing, building and programming a robot for the Robocup competition and creating original artworks for the school. Open source From 2009 to 2019 Albany Senior High School's computer network, desktops and staff laptops ran almost entirely on open source software. The school's student management system is the only major exception, using a proprietary system due to the unavailability of an open-source system meeting New Zealand requirements. The school won an award for the 'Best Open Source Project in Education' at the New Zealand Open Source Awards 2010. References External links Official website Education Review Office (ERO) reports
Albert Park (Auckland)

Der Albert Park ist ein Park im Stadtgebiet von Auckland auf der Nordinsel von Neuseeland. Geographie Der 5,6 Hektar große Albert Park befindet sich im Stadtzentrum von Auckland, rund 60 m östlich der Queen Street, der Einkaufsmeile der Stadt. Mit einer Nordnordost-Südsüdwest-Ausrichtung erstreckt sich der Park über eine Länge von rund 510 m und misst an seiner breitesten Stelle rund 215 m. Im nördlichen Teil der Anlage wird der Park von der Bowen Ave durchtrennt. Geologie Das nordwestliche Gelände des Albert Park war früher Teil eines Vulkans, dessen Kegel heute nicht mehr existiert, weil abgetragen. Der Vulkan entstand von rund 60.000 Jahren und sein Krater muss sich ungefähr im Schnittpunkt der Victoria Street East, der Bowen Avenue und der Kitchener Street befunden haben. Geschichte Die Gegend des heutigen Albert Park war ursprünglich ein Siedlungsgebiet der Māori. Vor den 1740er Jahren gehörte das Land rund um den Albert Park zum Stammesgebiet der Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua. Deren Siedlung namens Mangahekea wurde bei einem Angriff durch die Ngāti Whātua-o-Ōrākei unter der Führung von Tūperiri zerstört. Die Angreifer bauten für sich in neues Pā in der nordwestlichen Ecke des heutigen Albert Park auf, das sie Te Horotiu nannten. Das Land rundherum war fruchtbar und leicht zu verteidigen. Als dann die Pākehā (Europäer) ins Land kamen, errichteten sie auf dem Gelände des heutigen Albert Park und einem Teil der heutigen University of Auckland eine Festung für das britische Militär. Die Anlage war mit einer Steinmauer umschlossen und wurde zwischen 1840 und 1850 genutzt. Nach dem Abzug des Militärs übernahm die City Improvement Commission das Gelände, wies ihn als öffentlichen Park aus und ließ Wege anlegen. 1879 übernahm der damalige City Council das Areal, entwickelte es etwas weiter und ließ für die Gestaltung des Parks eine Ausschreibung starten. Die Baracken des Militärs wurden 1880 abgebaut und der Park konnte neu gestaltet werden. Besondere Ort im Park Das Zentrums des Parks ist der Springbrunnen, an dessen nördlicher Seite die Figur von Queen Victoria auf den Brunnen schaut. Im südlichen Teil des Parks ist der Pavillon des Albert Park Band Stand zu finden und im mittleren Bereich wird der ehemalige Gouverneur und spätere Premierminister George Edward Grey durch ein Denkmal geehrt.

Alexandra Aerodrome

Alexandra Aerodrome (IATA: ALR, ICAO: NZLX) is an aerodrome 2 NM (3.7 km) northwest of Alexandra, New Zealand. History The aerodrome saw South Pacific Airlines of New Zealand (SPANZ) operate Douglas DC-3 services from December 1960 to February 1966; then Mount Cook Airlines used Britten-Norman Islanders from 1969 to 1991, connecting to Dunedin and Queenstown. Goldfields Air flew during 1985–86 to Christchurch. Pacifica Air flew into Alexandra during 1988–89; and Airlink during 1989. In 2007-2008 Mainland Air trialled scheduled services from Dunedin to Alexandra and Queenstown, but due to lack of patronage these did not continue. Mainland Aviation College, a division of Mainland Air, set up a flight training college in late 2009 which no longer operates in Alexandra. The Central Otago Flying Club has operated from the aerodrome for over 50 years with various aircraft. In 2021 the club replaced their ageing Cessna 172 (ZK-ERW) with a 6-cylinder 195 hp Cessna 172XP (ZK-XPD) and a Cessna 150 Aerobat (ZK-DNO). In mid 2025 both of these aircraft were replaced with a 4-cylinder 180hp Cessna 172 (ZK-TFS) which is better suited for member hire and flight training.
