ACG Tauranga

ACG Tauranga is a private coeducational day school located on the outskirts of Tauranga, New Zealand. The school is owned and operated by Auckland-based private education company ACG Schools (formerly known as Academic Colleges Group). The school opened at the beginning of the 2015 school year, and initially offered places for Year 1–9 students. It now offers education from preschool to Year 13. It is the first private school in Tauranga since Tauranga Rudolf Steiner School integrated into the state system in March 2005. It is the latest of Academic Colleges Group's 10 schools, whose New Zealand schools are members of Independent Schools of New Zealand (ISNZ). Thea Kilian is the current principal, transferring from her role as Deputy Principal from Auckland's Long Bay College. The school is currently owned and operated by Inspired Education Group, an international provider of for-profit schools. Background The school was announced via press release from ACG in August, 2013. It is ACG's first domestic school outside of the Auckland region. Of ACG's existing domestic schools, ACG Tauranga is closest in nature to ACG Strathallan in Papakura, south of Auckland, which opened in 2001. The development was initially opposed by the Tauranga City Council, however work was underway in February 2014. The school covers 14 hectares, formerly a kiwifruit orchard. Amenities will include a gymnasium, three sports fields, a utility building, and parking. As well as hard courts, a sports pavilion, horticultural building and an Early Childhood Education centre. The first public meeting was held in April 2014 at Trinity Wharf Hotel in Tauranga. ACG claims over 200 parents and teachers attended from across the Bay of Plenty.' In 2016, construction of the new three-storey gymnasium began. It was completed in May 2017. Curriculum The curriculum is aligned closely to the Cambridge International programme. As with all domestic ACG schools, ACG Tauranga offers the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) instead of the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA). Its first cohort of Year 13 students achieved a 100% pass rate in all A Level subjects in 2019. In 2023, ACG Tauranga celebrated academic excellence in the Cambridge Examinations with the school's first-ever ‘Top in World’ award (AS-Level Mathematics). The school also achieved 100% A-Level pass rate and Y13 university entrance. Schools The school is divided into Junior (Year 1–6), Middle (Year 7–9) and Senior (Year 10–13) Schools. It also has a preschool. See also Bethlehem College Aquinas College ACG Strathallan External links ACG Tauranga website Academic Colleges Group website References
Knox Church, Christchurch

Knox Church is a Presbyterian church in Christchurch, New Zealand. It was damaged during the 2011 Christchurch earthquake and re-opened in 2014. History The original church was built in 1880 to a design by Samuel Farr. When the attendance increased beyond the capacity of the building, a new church was built in 1902 alongside the first one to a design by Robert England. The church was design in the Gothic Revival style featuring a brick exterior, a distinctive multi-gabled roof, and large timber archways. Rimu and kauri wood were used for the roof, dado panelling, interior woodwoork, and seating, Knox Church was one of Christchurch's historic buildings that was badly damaged during the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. During the earthquake, the brick gables of Knox Church crumbled from the timber structure leaving the roof exposed from 2011 to 2014 when reconstruction began. The new design was developed by Wilkie & Bruce Architects using the surviving wooden roof structure supported by new concrete columns and steel ties, and a new copper metal cladding system. The original timber on the columns and interior paneling were also retained and restored. Other buildings in the Knox complex remained functional. The restoration received a Public Architecture Award at the NZIA Canterbury Awards in 2015. It was praised for its modern seismic design and its sympathetic restoration of the original design. A stained glass window is featured within the western gable, made by artist Graham Stewart. Stewart had first created a stained glass window for the church in 1997, which was destroyed during the earthquake. He created a new window in 2018, which depicts the Canterbury landscape. Church organ The organ at Knox Church was built by Edgar Henry Jenkins in 1904. At the time of the earthquake it was 110 years old and was significantly damaged. The organ was restored by the South Island Organ Company during the reconstruction, costing $500,000 NZD. The organ was converted from a Tubular-pneumatic action to an electric and new trumpet and trombone tones were added. Parish hall The wooden buildings from 1880 were replaced in 1964 with a modern parish hall. The hall had a brick exterior and contained new facilities including a large hall, chapel, lounge, kitchen, and 12 classrooms on the upper floor. The parish hall was designed by Paul Pascoe and built by Messrs Husband Brothers. The hall opening was attended by Governor General Fergusson and Mayor George Manning . Wilkie & Bruce designed a new postmodern style interior refurbishment in 1993. This is particularly noticeable in the chapel which has a false barrel vault ceiling and abstract stained glass panes.

Die Elephant Rocks 5 km südlich von Duntroon im Süden der Region Canterbury in Neuseeland sind eine Gruppe verwitterter Kalksteinfelsen. Die Gruppe hat einen Umkreis von etwa 200 m und ist auf einer Weide an einem leichten Abhang gelegen. Die rundlichen, verwitterten Steine haben 1 – 10 Meter Durchmesser und erinnern nicht wirklich an Elefanten. Sie befinden sich auf einer privaten Schaffarm, der Zugang ist jedoch von einer Parkspur an der Island Cliff-Duntroon Road erlaubt. Bei den Elephant Rocks wurden 2005 Szenen in Aslans Lager für den ersten Film der Chroniken von of Narnia gedreht. Einzelnachweise
Elephant Rocks (New Zealand)

The Elephant Rocks near Duntroon in the Canterbury region of New Zealand, are a collection of large weathered limestone rocks. They are located on a private farm 5 kilometres (3 mi) south of Duntroon, in the Maerewhenua Valley. The wider area around Duntroon is known for its interesting geology and preserved fossils. The Elephant Rocks are the weathered remnants of the Otekaike Limestone formation which lies above the Oligocene Kokoamu Greensand. The rock formations of the Elephant Rocks vary from 1–10 metres (3–33 ft) across and are naturally scattered around a grass paddock on a gentle hillside over an area of about 200 metres (660 ft) across. The rocks themselves are rounded and pockmarked from weathering, but do not specifically resemble elephant shapes. The pasture is part of a private farm, and sheep may be present. Access is permitted via a 5-minute walk across the farmland from opposite a parking bay on the Island Cliff-Duntroon Road. The Alps to Ocean Cycle Trail passes the site. The Elephant Rocks area has been used as a filming location for the first Chronicles of Narnia movie in 2005 when it was transformed into Aslan's camp. References

Huntley School, New Zealand

Huntley School is an Anglican independent boarding preparatory school in Marton, New Zealand. It is the oldest preparatory school in the country. As of 2014 it is currently co-educational, after being a boys-only school for 117 years. It was founded in 1896 by Charles Mather and Basil Wilson on Calico Line as a small school for children of the farmers in Marton. The school is now located on Wanganui Road. The school moved in 1900. The building has been rebuilt since the move. A nail from the original building is kept ceremonially by the headmaster. The school grounds are 10 hectares, including several sports fields, a chapel (which celebrated its Centennial in 2009), and a gymnasium. Huntley's roll generally has around 150 students in 5 squads, which are named after the previous headmasters- Mather, Wilson, Rix-Trott, Strombom and Sherriff. They compete in various challenges such as swimming, sports and cross country running. About 100 are full-time boarders (3 week intervals between exeats), while the remaining 50 are day students. A school meal for lunch is provided for all students every day. The school participates academically in ICAS examinations, Otago Problem Solving and Mathex (a regional mathematics competition). Culturally, the Huntley Jazz Band often competes locally and there are also annual public speaking and debating competitions. Every student is expected to do a sport and the school competes in sporting fixtures with other independent schools such as Lindisfarne preparatory. Some students are national representatives or champions in their sport. In the spiritual aspect, the Chapel of St. Barnabas had its centennial in 2009. There is a service in the chapel every Monday, Thursday and Friday morning, and Sunday evening. Social opportunities are also found, as there is a social with Carncot in Term 2 and Term 4. Headmasters From 1896 to 1954, the successive headmasters owned the school. In 1954, a Trust Board was established to purchase and run the school. 1896-1902 Basil Holt Wilson (jointly with Mather) 1896-1919 Charles Percival Mather(jointly with Wilson to 1902) 1919-1930 Frederick Duncombe Strombom 1930-1952 Royes Page Sherriff 1953-1969 Noel Vincent Rix-Trott 1970-1987 Bret M.

Inferno Crater Lake

Inferno Crater Lake is a large hot spring located in the Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley on the North Island of New Zealand, and the largest geyser-like feature in the world. The actual geyser is not visible, as it plays underwater at the bottom of the lake. However, fumaroles are visible on the lake's shore and the rock wall behind it. The water temperature in the lake shifts from 35 to 80 °C (95 to 176 °F) every six weeks, with acidity up to pH 2.2, and lake levels that vary up to 12 metres (39 ft), following a complicated 38-day cycle that includes an overflow stage. White silica deposits grow up to the overflow level, and the lake's colour is a result of finely divided silica suspended in the water. At low water levels the lake can be a dull grey colour, changing to an intensely sky blue colour at higher lake levels, in particular after the overflow stage. Inferno Crater was blasted out of the side of the locally prominent Mt Haszard as part of the 1886 Mount Tarawera eruption, which opened several craters along a 17-kilometre (11 mi) rift stretching southwest from Mount Tarawera to the nearby Southern Crater. Inferno Crater's trumpet-shaped lake bed is up to 30 metres (98 ft) deep when the lake is full, which is also when it reaches its highest temperature. Since 1901 the lake occupying Inferno Crater has exhibited water-level variations closely associated with the Waimangu Geyser cycle. Inferno Crater Lake and its neighbouring Frying Pan Lake form a unique relationship and follow an interconnected rhythmic cycle of hydrology variations repeating itself over the course of roughly 38 days. When the water level and temperature of Inferno Crater Lake increase, the water level and outflow of Frying Pan Lake decrease. Comparable cyclic activity is unknown in other hydrothermal systems in the world. The system has been the subject of studies since monitoring equipment was installed in the area in 1970. Four distinct phases can be recognised in its cycle: First, the lake level rises steadily from its lowest level by a total of almost five metres (16 ft) over the course of eight days, and then it commences oscillating. The average lake level keeps rising over the course of the oscillations of the second phase until it reaches overflow level. At that point, the lake's volume has increased by 45,800 cubic metres (45.8 million litres; 12.1 million US gallons). Next, the lake overflows for about 51 hours at a rate of almost 80 litres per second (0.080 m3/s; 21 US gal/s), discharging on average 140,000 cubic metres (140 million litres; 37 million US gallons) of over 70 °C (158 °F) hot water down a temporary overflow stream into Waimangu Stream in the valley below. The last stage sees the lake recede to its low level over the last 13 days of the cycle, its water temperature also falling to the low point. During that stage, around 30 million litres (30 thousand cubic metres; 7.9 million US gallons) of water drain back under Mt Haszard. Inferno Crater Lake is accessible via a side track with 50 steps off the main Waimangu walking track. It is one of three lakes filling craters created in the vicinity during the 1886 event.

Lago del cráter del infierno

El lago del Cráter del Infierno está situado en el valle volcánico de Waimangu, en Nueva Zelanda. El lago ocupa un cráter que explotó en 1886 durante la erupción del monte Haszard. El nivel de agua del lago es cíclico alternándose el desbordamiento del lago con periodos de recesión en el nivel de hasta ocho metros. En el momento de máxima profundidad tiene 30 metros, una temperatura de 80°C y una acidez de 2.1 ph. En su interior contiene el géiser de este tipo más grande del mundo si bien no se aprecia al permanecer por debajo del nivel del lago.
Kratersko jezero Inferno

Kratersko jezero Inferno je velik vroč izvir v vulkanski dolini Waimangu na Severnem otoku Nove Zelandije in največja gejzirju podobna oblika na svetu. Pravega gejzirja ni videti, saj deluje pod vodo na dnu jezera, vendar pa so vidne fumarole na obali jezera in skalni steni za njim. Temperatura vode v jezeru se spremeni s 35 na 80 °C vsakih šest tednov, s kislostjo do pH 2,2, in nivoji jezera se spreminjajo do 12 metrov, po zapletenem 38-dnevnem ciklu, ki vključuje fazo prelivanja. Bele usedline silicijevega dioksida rastejo do nivoja preliva, barva jezera pa je posledica fino razpršenega silicijevega dioksida, suspendiranega v vodi. Pri nizkem vodostaju je jezero lahko motno sive barve, ki se spremeni v intenzivno nebesno modro barvo pri višjih gladinah jezera, zlasti po stopnji prelivanja. Krater Inferno je bil razstreljen s strani lokalno vidne gore Haszard kot del izbruha gore Tarawera leta 1886, ki je odprl več kraterjev vzdolž 17-kilometrske razpoke, ki se razteza jugozahodno od gore Tarawera do bližnjega Južnega kraterja. Trobentasto jezersko dno kraterja Inferno je globoko do 30 metrov, ko je jezero polno, kar je tudi takrat, ko doseže najvišjo temperaturo. Od leta 1901 je jezero, ki zaseda krater Inferno, kazalo spremembe nivoja vode, tesno povezane s ciklom gejzirja Waimangu. Kratersko jezero Inferno in njegovo sosednje jezero Frying Pan tvorita edinstven odnos in sledita medsebojno povezanemu ritmičnemu ciklu hidroloških variacij, ki se ponavljajo v približno 38 dneh. Ko se gladina in temperatura jezera Inferno povečata, se gladina in odtok jezera Frying Pan zmanjšata. Primerljiva ciklična aktivnost v drugih hidrotermalnih sistemih po svetu ni znana. Sistem je bil predmet študij, odkar je bila leta 1970 na tem območju nameščena oprema za spremljanje. V njegovem ciklu je mogoče prepoznati štiri različne faze: najprej gladina jezera v osmih dneh enakomerno naraste od najnižje ravni za skupno skoraj pet metrov, nato pa začne nihati. Povprečna gladina jezera med nihanjem druge faze narašča, dokler ne doseže nivoja preliva. Takrat se je prostornina jezera povečala za 45.800 kubičnih metrov (45,8 milijona litrov). Nato se jezero približno 51 ur razliva s hitrostjo skoraj 80 litrov na sekundo (0,080 m³/s), pri čemer se v povprečju izpusti 140.000 kubičnih metrov (140 milijonov litrov) več kot 70 °C tople vode po začasnem prelivu v potok Waimangu v spodnji dolini. V zadnji fazi se jezero v zadnjih 13 dneh cikla umakne na najnižjo gladino, temperatura vode pa prav tako pade na najnižjo točko. V tej fazi okoli 30 milijonov litrov (30 tisoč kubičnih metrov) vode odteče nazaj pod goro Haszard. Kratersko jezero Inferno je dostopno po stranski poti s 50 stopnicami stran od glavne sprehajalne poti Waimangu. Je eno od treh jezer, ki polnijo kraterje, ki so nastali v bližini med dogodkom leta 1886. Sklici Zunanje povezave
Lower Hutt Central Fire Station

Lower Hutt Central Fire Station is a former fire station in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. When it was built in 1955 it was considered to be one of the most modern fire stations in the Southern Hemisphere. The fire station is strongly influenced by the work of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It was designed to represent a post war, modern city, with expanding industry and state housing projects. The building along with the Lower Hutt town hall, civic administration building and war memorial library saw the city become a symbol of post-war modernist construction during the 1950s. When the station first opened it included such features as a control room where the fire engines could be started and stopped remotely, and the appliance doors could open automatically. It was the first fire station in New Zealand to have the technology to record calls. In the mid-2000s, the New Zealand Fire Service reviewed its coverage of Lower Hutt. On 15 January 2007, the station closed along with fire stations at Petone and Point Howard, with crews and engines split between three new stations at Alicetown, Avalon and Seaview. These three career stations are backed up by volunteer brigades at Stokes Valley, Wainuiomata and Eastbourne. Since then, the building has been unoccupied and suffered from vandalism. In 2010 the station was officially protected from demolition by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (since renamed to Heritage New Zealand). The station was purchased by property developer Mike Friday in November 2015, who is planning to renovate the station into apartments.

Picton Aerodrome

Picton Aerodrome (IATA: PCN, ICAO: NZPN) is a Non-Certificated Aerodrome located at Koromiko 4 NM (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) south of Picton township in the Marlborough District of the South Island in New Zealand. Sounds Air has 5 flights per day to Wellington. The Marlborough Sounds Airpark is located nearby offering 16 private hangars adjacent to the main runway with remote control access for the owners to park their aircraft. History On 2 January 1986, seven people died when a Cessna aircraft crashed on takeoff near Picton. This was an engine failure in the climb after takeoff and unrelated to the Airport itself. In another accident on 29 January 1996, five died when a Cessna Caravan crashed on approach to Picton. A Coroner's inquest found that the en-route accident could have been prevented had the Caravan been able to fly IFR, as happens now.

Remuera Library

Remuera Library is a local branch of Auckland Libraries, serving the suburb of Remuera. It is housed in a Category I Historic building, which is considered to be a landmark in the area. History On 2 October 1915, the first Remuera library was established as the third branch library of the Auckland City Libraries. The two-storied building was designed by A. B. Herrold and constructed in 1912, originally housing the Remuera Road Board, and was located at 411–413 Remuera Road. The Remuera Road Board amalgamated with the Auckland City Council in 1915, leading to the library taking over the former road board offices. Additions were made to the library building in 1918. In 1922, the Auckland City Council used funds from sale of electricity supply rights to Auckland Electric Power Board to buy land at the corner of Remuera Road and Saint Vincent Avenue, where a new library building was constructed for Remuera. In September 1926, the original library building was dismantled, with timber and some fittings of the building being sent to construct a new library at Point Chevalier. On 31 July 1926, the Remuera Library was opened on its present site. The building was designed by the architectural firm Gummer and Ford, who were then one of the leading firms in Auckland. The building shows influences of Neo-Georgian and Arts and Crafts style architecture, stemming from Gummer's study in England under Edwin Lutyens. It has a largely open plan design, which was innovative at the time. The building won a NZIA gold medal for its design in 1928. The building features a large lecture hall which had previously been used to deliver public lectures. At some point in the mid-twentieth century, Auckland Libraries ceased their public lecture series (largely due to declining interest) and the lecture hall was converted to accommodate the library's growing collection. There is an entrance to the library through the lecture hall which remained closed for much of its existence. There were various additions made to the library during the late 1950s and early 1960s, including the building of partitioning walls. Major updates to the library building were undertaken between 1984 and 1985, and in mid-2002. The 2002 restoration undid many of the additions that had been made during the 1950s and 1960s. A disabilities ramp was installed leading to Saint Vincent Avenue and the lecture hall entrance to the library was finally re-opened. The staff workroom was also expanded, utilising the former stage as floorspace. These renovations led to the library winning another NZIA medal in 2004 in the Heritage and Conservation category. In 2006, there was some debate about the gnomon on the sundial installed outside the library being set in the wrong direction, and therefore not working. The library underwent a renovation project from July 2024, involving general repairs and maintenance, seismic strengthening the building to meet legal requirements, fire safety enhancements, accessibility improvements and an interior refresh. The building was reopened in April 2025. References External links Heritage New Zealand list entry
