Wainono Lagoon

Die Wainono Lagoon ist eine Lagune in der Region Canterbury auf der Südinsel von Neuseeland. Geographie Die Wainono Lagoon befindet sich rund 7,5 km ostnordöstlich der Stadt Waimate, die Verwaltungssitz des Waimate District ist, in dem die Lagune direkt an der Ostküste der Südinsel befindlich liegt. Mit einer Flächenausdehnung von 3,76 km² erstreckt sich die Lagune über eine Länge von rund 4,7 km in Nord-Süd-Richtung, manchmal nur 80 m vom Pazifischen Ozean durch einen Damm getrennt entfernt. Das bis zu einem Meter tiefe Gewässer misst an seiner breitesten Stelle rund 1,8 km ist Ost-West-Richtung und kommt auf eine Uferlinie von rund 13 km. Neben einigen kleineren Bächen, tragen der Hook River und der Waituna Stream den größten Teil der Wässer von Nordwest und von Westen kommend zu. Entwässert wird die Lagune über den Dead Arm genannten Wasserarm, der sich entlang der Küsten über rund 8,3 km nach Süden bewegt und zusammen mit dem Waihao River schließlich in den Pazifischen Ozean mündet. Da das Umland der Lagune nicht sehr viel höher ist als der Wasserspiegel des Gewässers, kann in der Literatur die Flächenangabe für die Lagune je nach Höhe des Wasserspiegels differieren. So finden sich in einer Publikation des Environment Canterbury Regional Council aus dem Jahr 2014 als Beispiel eine Flächenangabe bei einem Wasserstand von 1 m von 3,25 km² und bei einem Wasserstand von 1,5 m eine Flächenangabe von rund 4,2 km².

Wainono Lagoon

Wainono Lagoon is a shallow lagoon in the southern Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island. A number of rivers flow into the lagoon, including the Hook River from the north and the Waihao River from the south. Nearby settlements include Hook and Studholme, with the town of Waimate approximately eight kilometres west. Although it is within metres of the Pacific Ocean, the Wainono Lagoon is fresh water and separated from the sea by a gravel berm. Tests have revealed that the level of the lagoon does not fluctuate with the tide and its level of salinity is low. Fresh water, however, seeps from the lagoon into the sea. The Department of Conservation (DOC) has established the Wainono Lagoon Conservation Area to protect the natural environment of the lagoon. The Waitangi Tribunal in 1995 directed DOC to develop the lagoon as a traditional fishery resource with Ngāi Tahu. References

Waitara High School

Waitara High School is a state secondary school in Waitara, Taranaki, New Zealand, founded in 1947. History On 1 December 1944, the Taranaki Education Board wrote to the Education Department seeking approval to open a high school. The department in reply asked the board to submit a report on the matter of acquisition of a site, construction of buildings and inauguration of a system of conveyance. On 18 January, eight acres were selected, partly of the Bayly Estate and owned by Mrs O.H. Taylor, as the most suitable site. On 8 June the board forwarded the plans and estimates to the Education Department. On 28 November 1946 contributing schools were notified that Mr Massey had been appointed headmaster from 1 February 1947 and the school opened on that date with a roll of 120 third, fourth and fifth form pupils in five classrooms, a laboratory, a general purpose room and subsidiary accommodation. A further three classrooms and a library were approved in principle in July 1947 and in December of the same year the board was authorised to call tenders for a new manual building comprising a cookery room and woodwork room with a metalwork bay. The badge The two shades of blue were decided upon by the founding advisory committee. They chose Cambridge blue (light blue) and Oxford blue (dark blue). It was decided that a heraldic style badge was not appropriate for a new school of the era. Instead it was decided to simply use a shield with interlocking letters. The initial WDHS (Waitara District High School) was later replaced with the present WHS. The founding principal, Mr Massey, looked for a motto in Maori which would say – Strive on or Fight on. Mr Rangi Makawe (a member of the committee) was also in favour of this as the school was stood on an old battlefield. Many word combinations were suggested and rejected so finally the words "Whawhai Tonu" were settled on. This was sent to a Maori scholar for his opinion and there concern as the phrase could be interpreted as "Slaughter on". Eventually Mr Massey requested a Latin translation from Victoria University. The university provided a quotation from Virgil containing the words "Ulterius Tende" meaning to "strive on". The bell The school bell was presented to the school from the London County Council in 1946. It is from the Avonmore School at Fulham which was destroyed during the air raids of 1940.
