Te Paepae o Aotea

La Riserva marina di Te Paepae o Aotea (in inglese Te Paepae o Aotea (Volkner Rocks) Marine Reserve) è un'area naturale protetta marina della Nuova Zelanda, situata nella baia dell'Abbondanza a circa 5 km a nord-ovest da Whakaari/White Island e istituita nel 2006. La riserva comprende il gruppo di faraglioni di andesite chiamato Te Paepae o Aotea oppure Volkner Rocks (rocce di Volkner) in lingua inglese, dal nome del missionario Carl Sylvius Völkner decapitato dai Māori in rappresaglia ad un massacro compiuto dall'esercito britannico in un pā vicino Te Awamutu. I faraglioni di Te Paepae o Aotea sono alti 112 m e riposano su uno zoccolo di roccia sommerso profondo 200 m che li collega all'isola di Whakaari. L'area complessiva della riserva è di 12,67 km² ed è popolare presso i subacquei per via della buona visibilità (35-40 m) e la bellezza dei fondali. Le rocce di Te Paepae o Aotea hanno un particolare valore religioso per i Ngāti Awa e altri iwi (tribù) dell'Isola Nord. Si tratta infatti del luogo di partenza delle anime dei defunti dei Mātaatua: le anime soggiornerebbero attorno ai faraglioni prima di lasciare il mondo terreno.

Westland High School, Hokitika

Westland High School, previously Hokitika High School or Hokitika District High School, is a secondary school in Hokitika, New Zealand. History The first application to have a high school in Hokitika was made in 1879. In the following year, the Royal Commissioners on Universities and Secondary Schools supported this move in their report. The Hokitika High School Act 1883 was a piece of legislation championed by Gerard George Fitzgerald, member of parliament for the Hokitika electorate. The legislation, passed in September 1883, allowed for the establishment of a high school in Hokitika, formulated how the school board was to be determined, and gave the mechanism of dealing with land endowment. The school board, which first met in February 1884, came together at regular interval but found that it would have insufficient funds to pay for a headmaster. The impasse was broken by The Hokitika High School Act 1883 Amendment Act, 1890, which was sponsored by the local MP Joseph Grimmond. This enabled the high school to be established through a merger with the Hokitika State School, and Hokitika High School opened on Monday, 19 January 1891. The school's name was changed in 1963 to Westland High School; this was accommodated through the Westland High School Amendment Act 1963. The school war memorial is an obelisk that lists those pupils and teachers who served in World War I, and those who were killed in the Second Boer War and in World War II. Enrolment At the August 2019 Education Review Office (ERO) review of the school, Westland High School had 300 students enrolled. 51% of students were male and 49% were female. The prioritised ethnic composition was 68% New Zealand European, 28% Māori, 2% Pacific peoples, and 2% other ethnic groups. Notable alumni Ronald King (1909–1988), New Zealand rugby union player Stephen Lowe (born 1962), third Catholic Bishop of Hamilton, New Zealand Holly Robinson (born 1994), para-athlete Bill Schramm (1886–1962), Labour MP for the Auckland East electorate Notable staff Peter Hooper (1919–1991) was a New Zealand teacher, writer, bookseller and conservationist References External links "Review reports". 29 June 2017.

Collingwood Area School

Collingwood Area School (Māori: Te Kura o Aorere) is an area school in the Golden Bay / Mohua town of Collingwood in New Zealand. The school dates back to 1859, when it was founded as Collingwood School. It was known as Collingwood District High School from 1937 to 1978. History A few months after the beginning of the 1856 gold rush in Collingwood, parents were already petitioning the Nelson Board of Education for a school to be set up. Collingwood was established as a school district in 1858, and the school was established in 1859 as Collingwood School, at a cost of £150; the head of the school, John Edward Neame, was on a salary of £108, with an assistant mistress on a salary of £24. The school building on Lewis Street was near the site of the present school; the decayed 1859 schoolhouse was replaced in 1880 by a building with an ornamental belfry and large porch. In 1936, it expanded to include a class for secondary students, with an initial roll of 12, and the following year it became a district high school. In 1978, it became an area school, and undertook a major reconstruction with many new buildings, including a new primary classroom and administration block, at a cost of $265,750. Area schools, found in rural areas of New Zealand, educate years 1 to 13, with teachers able to work with any children in that range. The school has a roll of 148 as of March 2026. In 2023, the school undertook a $9 million upgrade that included 10 new classrooms, a library, and technology, science and administration buildings, as well as a revamp of the school gym. School bell The school's original bell was lost in the 1920s. In 1964, Rear Admiral Richard Washbourn, who had close family connections with Golden Bay, bought the bell of HMS Chevron from the Rosyth Dockyard for £8, and donated it to the school the following year. Washbourn wrote at the time that "Collingwood is a very remote little settlement one hundred miles from the nearest town and it will do the young good to have some reminder of the world outside.....even if that reminder only serves the mundane purpose of calling them to their studies". Notable staff Philip Woollaston – politician Principals The following is an incomplete list of headmasters and principals of Collingwood School, Collingwood District High School and Collingwood Area School.

Douglas Glacier (Westland)

The Douglas Glacier is a glacier in New Zealand's Southern Alps located between Mount Sefton and Mount Brunner. It is named after the explorer Charles Edward Douglas. The glacier sits in a valley and is fed by several streams and frequent avalanches which drop down a cliff face of over 1,000 feet from its névé to the north. The glacier itself was approximately 5 miles long in 1908. The glacier has a relatively high rate of moraine materials, consisting of "friable phyllites and schistose grauwackes". At the foot of the glacier is a lake that was created by glacier recession. Reports from 1892 and 1934 indicated it had "an anomalously slow lake development". The Douglas River (formerly known as the Twain) begins in the lake at the foot of the glacier. References

Pokeno railway station

Pokeno railway station is a former railway station in Pōkeno, New Zealand on the North Island Main Trunk line. It opened for passengers on 20 May 1875, and for goods on 6 April 1879. It was 39 mi 36 ch (63.5 km) south of Auckland (via Newmarket) and 41 mi 52 ch (67.0 km) (via Ōrākei). The station closed to passengers on 24 June 1973, and to goods on 30 March 1980. Work on the proposed Paeroa–Pōkeno Line commenced in 1938, and whilst approximately 13 km of earthworks were completed at each end, the proposal was halted due to the Second World War. Work was still making slow progress in 1950. The line was to be the first part of the East Coast Main Trunk Railway. History A 4th class stationmasters house and 5th class Class B station were built in 1878. From 1 December 1879 to 31 October 1924 there was a Post Office at the station. By 1884 there was also a platform, cart approach, 40 ft (12 m) by 30 ft (9.1 m) goods shed, loading bank, cattle yards, urinals and a 21 wagon passing loop. In 1914 the goods shed was moved to the other side of the line and in 1939 Marlborough Street level crossing was closed and the station yard was altered. About 1969 $2,600 was spent on half-arm barriers and alarms at the Cameron Street crossing. In 1974 a hand crane was donated to the Museum of Transport & Technology, which also took kauri planks from the closed station at about the same time. After closure in 1980, the goods shed was used as a workshop and storage area for a railway bridge gang, until vandalism and burglary brought about its demolition in 1981. Traffic grew as shown in the graph and table below. Proposed reopening In 2020, reopening of the station was put forward as a scheme to help the region recover from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, at an estimated cost of $10m. In 2022 it was said to be at least 10 years away and planned to be on the old station site, between High and Market Streets.

Wharariki Beach

Wharariki Beach je pláž na pobřeží Tasmanova moře, západně od mysu Farewell, nejsevernějšího bodu Jižního ostrova Nového Zélandu. Na, na sever orientovanou, písečnou pláž se lze dostat po přibližně 21 minutové pěší túře z konce Wharariki Road. Konec silnice je přibližně 4 kilometry od nejbližší osady, malé vesnice Pūponga. Kemp se nachází u silnice Wharariki, ale oblast kolem pláže je bez jakékoli turistické vybavenosti. Pláž Wharariki je hraničí parkem Puponga Farm Park, přičemž okolí pláže je obklopeno severní částí národního parku Kahurangi. Pláž je na východě a západě lemována útesy, ale vzhledem k ploché topografii oblasti za ní jsou pláž a travnaté duny vystaveny větrům. Pláž Wharariki je velice známá díky Archwayským ostrovům, které se často objevují na fotografiích v novozélandských krajinných kalendářích. Je to také výchozí obrázek zamykací obrazovky a jedna z tapet na plochu v operačním systému Microsoft Windows 10. Archwayské ostrovy Archway Islands je skupina čtyř skalních bloků nebo malých ostrůvků, přičemž i ten největší z nich měří jen asi 300 krát 200 metrů. Největší z ostrovů je nejblíže pevnině a sousedí s pláží Wharariki; obecně není odříznut mořem. Druhý ostrov leží asi 150 metrů od pobřeží na moři a je relativně plochý a porostlý vegetací. Zbývající dva ostrovy jsou typické skalní útesy, přičemž ten větší má výšku 66 metrů a obsahuje dva přírodní skalní oblouky, což dalo jméno skupině skupiny ostrovů.

Wharariki Beach

Wharariki Beach is a beach on the Tasman Sea, west of Cape Farewell, the northernmost point of the South Island of New Zealand. Geography The north-facing sandy beach is accessible only via a 20-minute walking track from the end of Wharariki Road. The road end is approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from the nearest settlement, the small village of Pūponga. A camping ground is located along Wharariki Road, but the area surrounding the beach is devoid of any development. Wharariki Beach is bordered by Puponga Farm Park, with the wider area more or less surrounded by the northern end of Kahurangi National Park. The beach is flanked to the east and west by cliffs, but due to the flat topography of the area behind it, the beach area and the grassy dunes behind it are quite exposed to winds. Archway Islands Wharariki Beach is perhaps best known for the Archway Islands, a small archipelago of four islands ranging from the beachside (part of the beach at low tide) to roughly 250 metres (820 ft) offshore. The islands are featured frequently in photos in New Zealand landscape calendars. It is also the default lock screen image on Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system. Attractions The beach is popular for its colony of fur seal pups; during low tide, people have access to the pools where pups play in front of the easternmost of the Archway Islands. References
Plage de Wharariki

La plage de Wharariki (anglais : Wharariki Beach) est une plage sur la mer de Tasman, à l'ouest du cap Farewell, le point le plus au nord de l'île du Sud en Nouvelle-Zélande. Géographie La plage de sable, exposée au nord, est accessible uniquement par un sentier à une distance à pied d'une vingtaine de minutes depuis la fin de Wharariki Road. La fin de la route se situe à environ 4 km des habitations les plus proches, le petit village de Pūponga. Un terrain de camping est situé le long de Wharariki Road, mais la zone entourant la plage est dépourvue de tout développement urbanistique. La plage de Wharariki est bordée par le parc de la ferme de Puponga, la zone plus large étant plus ou moins entourée par l'extrémité nord du parc national de Kahurangi. La plage est flanquée à l'est et à l'ouest de falaises, mais en raison de la topographie plate de la zone située derrière elle, la plage et les dunes herbeuses derrière elle sont assez exposées aux vents. La plage de Wharariki est peut-être surtout connue pour les Archway Islands, un petit archipel de quatre îles allant du bord de mer (une partie de la plage à marée basse) à environ 250 mètres au large. Les îles figurent souvent sur les photos des calendriers des paysages néo-zélandais. C'est également l'image de l'écran de verrouillage par défaut du système d'exploitation Windows 10 de Microsoft.
