Gisborne railway station, New Zealand

The Gisborne railway station in Gisborne, New Zealand was the main railway station in Gisborne; and the northern terminus of the Palmerston North–Gisborne Line from 1942 when the line was opened, until 2012 when the line was mothballed beyond Napier. The line has been restored to Wairoa but remains mothballed to Gisborne. The station was closed to passengers from August 2002, although it had not been served by regular passenger trains since 1988 when services from Wellington, the unnamed successor to the Endeavour, were truncated at Napier. However, the station is currently in use by Gisborne Vintage Railway, as the start and terminus station. The building has a Category II listing with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust. The station was opened in 1902 as the main terminus of the line north to Ormond and Kaitaratahi, which later became the Moutohora Branch. The section from Gisborne to Ormond opened on 26 June 1902 and to Kaitaratahi in November that same year. From 1915 to 1931 the Ngatapa Branch left the Moutohora Branch near Makaraka, but the Ngatapa Branch was closed when the coastal route to Wairoa and Palmerston North was adopted instead of the inland route via Ngatapa.

Hobsonville Point Secondary School

Hobsonville Point Secondary School is a state coeducational secondary school located in the Auckland, New Zealand suburb of Hobsonville. Opened in February 2014, it is the second school in New Zealand (and first secondary school) to be built under a public-private partnership, whereby the school buildings are constructed, maintained and managed separate from the school management by a private consortium. The school has a roll of 1,063 as of March 2026. History The school was constructed as part of the Hobsonville Point housing development, serving the 3000 new homes being built on the former RNZAF Hobsonville Airbase and the wider Hobsonville/West Harbour area and easing roll capacity on existing nearby secondary schools. The school was planned to eventually take up to 1500 students. The public-private partnership (PPP) for the school and the nearby Hobsonville Point Primary School (the first PPP school in New Zealand) was signed in April 2012, with the 25-year contract for the design, construction, maintenance, finance and management of the school buildings being let to the Learning Infrastructure Partners consortium of ASC Architects, Perumal Pedavoli Architects, Hawkins Construction, and Programmed Facility Management. At the end of the 25-year contract (i.e. in 2037), the school buildings will revert ownership to the Crown. It was estimated by the National Government that the partnership would save it $2 million over the 25-year contract. However, the partnership was criticised by the Labour Opposition in that it would cost taxpayers more than it would save, namely from the $3.5 million cost of developing the business plan and the $2.5 million cost of a "Relationships Manager" communicating between the schools' board of trustees and the private consortium over 25 years. Construction of the school started in 2012. On 6 December 2012, a tornado hit the Hobsonville area and caused several large concrete panels at the school site to topple over onto a truck, killing three construction workers sheltering in the truck's cab. A memorial for the victims is located out the front of the school. Hobsonville Point Secondary School opened for instruction for the first time on 3 February 2014, initially taking Year 9 students only. The new school buildings were not fully complete at the time, so the school was based at Hobsonville Point Primary School for the first four weeks. The school's opening roll was 125. Enrolment As of March 2026, Hobsonville Point Secondary School has a roll of 1,063 students, of which 136 (12.8%) identify as Māori. As of 2026, the school has an Equity Index of 430, 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).

The houses compete fiercely to win the House Cup, awarded at the end of every school year. Every student and member of staff in the school, other than the principal and deputy principals, subscribe to one of these houses. It is often the case that families will align themselves to certain houses, such as where the oldest sibling of a family was in Burns, their younger siblings, children and grandchildren who attend the school will also be in Burns. The School song is sung at every school assembly with all up standing.

Lake Harihari

Lake Harihari is a dune-dammed lake 10 km south of Kawhia in the Waikato region of New Zealand. Its water quality is the best amongst the Waikato dune lakes. It is ranked eighth in importance in the region. Its quality has been attributed to its remoteness. Geology The lake is dammed by the dunes, though in wet weather a stream flows from it. Under the dunes a hard strong friable greywacke sandstone forms most of the coastline from Albatross Point to Awakino. It is part of the Late Triassic (Oretian-Otapirian) rocks of the Newcastle Group. The lake bed belongs to Taharoa Lakes Trust and the land around it is private. Waikato Biodiversity Forum said, "We know of only one other shallow lake in the region that is comparable in terms of water quality." It is ranked eighth in regional importance as a Category Two Lake – high condition, high vulnerability. Biota Lake Harihari has the best quality of all the Waikato dune lakes with oligomesotrophic water quality. Works such as a trial fish passage structure (installed in 2009), fencing a 37 to 80m buffer (started in 2005), and about 10,000 new plants, selected to withstand the harsh coastal winds and dry summers, aim to improve the lake's value. Biota recorded include dabchicks, shells, a large freshwater mussel population, freshwater sponges (common), native snails, native fish, the common bully and New Zealand smelt. The health of the lake is indicated by the variety of zooplankton in it - rotifers (Anuraeopsis fissa, Synchaeta grandis, S. longipes, Ascomorpha ovalis, Brachionus angularis, B. caliciflorus, Keratella cochlearis, K. tecta, Polyarthra dolichoptera, Trichocerca similis), Bosmina meridionalis, Calamoecia lucasi, Mesocyclops leuckarti, nauplii. Harihari has the lowest non-native zooplankton of all Waikato lakes, though alligator weed control was carried out in 2018. There are also other weed species such as willow, pampas, kikuyu and Canadian pondweed. History The archaeology map shows a dozen sites around and near the lake.

Lake Parangi

Lake Parangi is a small supertrophic (i.e. saturated in phosphorus and nitrogen, with excessive phytoplankton growth after a few weeks of calm, sunny weather), dune-dammed lake 3 km north of Kawhia in the Waikato region of New Zealand. In 1937, Lake Parangi was described by the Evening Post as having, "a steep sand-cliff at one end of it and is reputed to be bottomless. Here and there are groves of gnarled pohutukawas, serving as valuable landmarks in the Sahara-like wilderness of the dunes." Biota Lake Parangi has freshwater mussels, eels, pondweed Potamogeton ochreatus and watermilfoil Myriophyllum triphyllum. Catfish have been introduced and water quality is deteriorating. Canadian Waterweed has invaded much of the lake. External links 1:50,000 map of area See also List of lakes in New Zealand References

Lake Rotoroa (Tasman)

Lake Rotoroa lies within the borders of Nelson Lakes National Park in the South Island, New Zealand. The lake is fed by the D'Urville and Sabine rivers. The greatest depth is 145 metres, and it has a surface area of just under 23.5 km. The lake is surrounded by beech forest. Rotoroa is a small community at the base of the lake. The Gowan River flows out of the lake at this point, thus making the lake one of the sources of the Buller River system. The Rotoroa Route, following the northeast side of the lake, has been permanently closed to public access. Several other walking tracks can be accessed near the settlement at the head of the lake, and a water taxi travels the length of the lake to ferry trampers. The lake has introduced trout, which attract recreational fishermen. There is a fly-fishing lodge, Lake Rotoroa Lodge, on the lake. The word rotoroa is Māori for long lake. Climate References
