Royal Oak Intermediate

Royal Oak Intermediate School is an intermediate school in Auckland, New Zealand. Established on 1 April 1943, it is set in just over 3 hectares of level grounds close to Royal Oak Shopping complex. The school was originally named Manukau Intermediate School, so called for the school's proximity to the Manukau Harbour. With the growth of Manukau City in recent years, the board of trustees decided in 1997 that it was time to affirm that it was an Auckland school: accordingly it was decided to rename the school to "Royal Oak Intermediate" to better reflect its location. History Between the years of 1912 and 1922, the area now occupied by the school was the site of the "Boyd Zoo", a major local attraction at the time. Prior to the building being finally commissioned as a school, it was used initially as a temporary hospital during World War II. The school celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 1993. It celebrated its 75th anniversary on 1 April 2018. Principals Henri Binsted 1943–1947 Frederick Day 1947–1953 C.

The scene featuring the classroom was originally supposed to be filmed in Room 10, however it was relocated to Room 12 for unknown reasons. References
Royal Oak Mall

Royal Oak Mall is a shopping centre located in Royal Oak, Auckland, New Zealand, on Manukau Road. Completed in 1988, it has been a significant business hub in the area. The mall underwent expansions in the mid-1980s, 1993 and 2009, enhancing its capacity and the variety of services offered. History The Royal Oak Mall was initially completed in 1988, serving as a key commercial and social gathering place in Royal Oak. Its first expansion in the mid-1980s was followed by further developments in 1993 and 2009. These expansions have allowed the mall to accommodate a wider range of shops and services, catering to the growing needs of the local community. Renovation and modernisation After many years of wear and tear, Royal Oak Mall underwent a major refurbishment to revitalize its appearance and functionality. The renovation, which touched every aspect of the mall from the interior to the exterior, included replacing outdated flooring with fresh new tiling and adopting a new colour scheme to modernize the look and feel of the mall. The exterior of the main building was refreshed with hues of Resene Arrowtown, and the columns were accented with Resene Double Arrowtown. Inside, the mall adopted a lightened palette with Resene Quarter Thorndon Cream as the backbone, complemented by Resene Aluminium on barrel vaults and Resene Masala on columns and dado lines. This comprehensive makeover aimed to enhance the shopping experience, blending a new, modern aesthetic with the mall's established environment. Facilities and stores The mall houses over 50 shops, offering a diverse range of products and services. These include grocery stores, homeware and furniture outlets, and travel agencies, among others. This variety makes the mall a one-stop destination for shopping and services in the Royal Oak area. Operating hours and holidays Royal Oak Mall is closed on New Year's Day, Auckland Anniversary Day, Waitangi Day, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday, reflecting the local observance of these public holidays.

Royal Wellington Golf Club

The Royal Wellington Golf Club, (formerly Wellington Golf Club) founded on 30 April 1895 is one of New Zealand's golf courses. The Golf Club is situated in Heretaunga, Upper Hutt, just north of Wellington and alongside the Hutt River between Silverstream and Trentham. History The Wellington Golf Club was first established in 1895 at Miramar by David Howden (younger brother of Charles Ritchie Howden founder of Otago Golf Club) and Ethel Duncan. It experienced difficulties in renewing its lease in 1904. The Barton family of Trentham and Wairarapa owned extensive land in the Heretaunga area in the Upper Hutt Valley and offered to sell club 48.5 hectares of their estate. This offer was accepted in a Club meeting on 20 November 1906 and subsequently much of the land was cleared and marshes drained to construct the rudimentary course. Some club members donated trees and shrubs in these early years. By 1908 the club had completed its move to Heretaunga and an 18-hole course had been completed along with a tennis court, croquet and putting green. Its historic and elegant clubhouse was designed by architects Crichton and MacKay. The club was opened in a ceremony on 25 April 1908, by Joseph Ward, Prime Minister and president of the club. In 2004, it was granted a Royal title by the Queen of New Zealand, Elizabeth II. Course The course was expanded from 18 to 27 holes in 1972–73. The present championship course was redesigned by Greg Turner and Scott Macpherson and opened in 2013. There is also a nine-hole Terrace course, which takes in some of the most scenic parts of the club's property. Royal Wellington Golf Course is the host venue for the 2017 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship. Championships Seven New Zealand Opens have been held at Heretaunga, the first in 1912, followed by 1932, 1954, 1976, 1981, 1987 and most recently in 1995, when Australian Lucas Parsons was the winner of the sixth and last open held at the club.

Cobb Reservoir

Das Cobb Reservoir ist ein Stausee zur Stromerzeugung in der Region Tasman auf der Südinsel von Neuseeland. Geographie Das Cobb Reservoir befindet sich rund 27 km westlich von Motueka und rund 52 km nordwestlich von Nelson, zwischen der Wharepapa / Arthur Range im Südosten, der Peel Range im Westen und der Lockett Range im Norden, wo zwischen der Bergkette und dem Stausee mehrere Gebirgsseen zu finden sind. Der länglich schmale Stausee umfasst eine Fläche von rund 2,34 km² bei voller Speicherkapazität. Sein Länge beträgt rund 6,34 km in Südwest-Nordost-Richtung mit einer leichten Krümmung nach Westen im oberen Teil des Sees. Seine maximale Breite weist der Stausee auch mit rund 460 m in diesem Bereich auf und umfasst eine Uferlänge von rund 13,4 km. Das Cobb Reservoir befindet sich inmitten des Kahurangi National Parks. Staumauer Die Staumauer, als Gewichtsstaumauer ausgeführt, wurde in den Jahren 1936 bis 1956 errichtet. Das Bauwerk war das erste in Neuseeland, das Instrumente zur Messung des inneren Wasserdrucks enthielt, und auch das erste, das mit modernen Methoden der Bodenkontrolle in dem Damm errichtet wurde. Der Kern des Damms besteht aus schluffigem Kies, der an den Schultern mit sandigem Kies überdeckt und gefestigt wurde. Die Höhe des Absperrbauwerks beträgt vom Fundament aus gemessen 35 m und besitzt eine Kronenlänge vom 214 m. Der Überlauf des Damms ist in Beton ausgeführt und befindet sich mit seinen vier Abflusskanälen, die eine Kapazität von 857 Kubikmetern pro Sekunde aufweisen, rechts der Mitte des Damms. Kraftwerk Das Kraftwerk des Stausees, das von der Firma Trustpower betrieben wird, befindet sich rund 4,2 km nordöstlich des Staudamms. Das Wasser des Stausees wird zunächst unterirdisch, dann über der Erde über eine gesamte Höhendifferenz von rund 595 m dem Kraftwerk zugeführt. In dem Kraftwerk erzeugen dann sechs einzeln laufende Pelton-Turbinen den Strom. Vier der Turbinen bringen es auf eine Leistung von je 3 MW und die beiden anderen sind für je 10 MW ausgelegt. Zusammen kann das Kraftwerk maximal 32 MW an Leistung produzieren, wobei die Jahresleistung von der Firma Trustpower mit 192 GWh angegeben wird.

Cobb Reservoir

The Cobb Reservoir is a hydro storage lake fed by the Cobb River in the Tasman District of the South Island of New Zealand. The reservoir feeds the Cobb Power Station and is 819 metres (2,687 ft) above sea level but drops significantly with low rainfall. Cobb Reservoir is the highest hydro storage lake in New Zealand, and is entirely surrounded by Kahurangi National Park. The reservoir, dam, penstock and powerhouse are excluded from the national park. The dam that forms the reservoir was built from 1949 to 1954, replacing a smaller structure built about ten years earlier. It is an earth dam 32 metres (105 ft) high by 221 metres (725 ft) long. The geology of the area precluded the construction of a concrete dam. A narrow winding road leads over Cobb Ridge to Cobb Reservoir and along the lake's shore, providing access to tramping tracks in the area surrounding the valley. The road was built in the 1940s and remains unsealed from Cobb Power Station onwards. The access road to the reservoir is the only road into the interior of Kahurangi National Park.

Ryan's Creek Aerodrome

Ryan's Creek Aerodrome (IATA: SZS, ICAO: NZRC) is a small airstrip on Stewart Island in southern New Zealand. History The aerodrome was built in the late 1970s to accommodate operations by Stewart Island Air Services. In the mid-1980s the runway and taxiways were asphalted. In 1990 a hill at one end of the strip was leveled; this left more room for aircraft to land and allowed easier access to the airstrip. The aerodrome is used by Stewart Island Flights for scheduled services to Invercargill Airport. Facilities The airport is at an elevation of 288 feet (88 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway, designated "04/22", which measures 800 by 66 metres (2,625 ft × 217 ft).

Salmond College

Salmond College is a residential college affiliated to the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. As an affiliated college, it is privately owned and is run independently from the university, being governed by The Council of Knox College and Salmond College, a body with links to the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand. The college opened in 1971 as Salmond Hall, originally to accommodate women students, to parallel the male-only facility Knox College. It became a coeducational facility during the 1970s. The name changed to Salmond College in 2006. Salmond and Knox share different parts of the same 4.57 hectare landscaped site (11 acres), located on the north side of the Dunedin Botanic Gardens, close to the area known simply as The Gardens Corner at the foot of North East Valley, approximately 15 minutes walk north of the campus. The site, originally the location for stables for Ross and Glendining Limited, was donated by the Ross family. The college predominantly provides for first-year students, with 20 to 30 returning for a second year. The college's name commemorates James Salmond (for many years a lecturer at Knox Theological Hall) and his sister Mary Salmond (Principal of the Presbyterian Church's Deaconess Training School in the 1950s). The majority of students are housed in single rooms on one of the four levels in the main building. Kaiāwhina Whare are the College Residential Leaders — they are senior students who live on site and mentor and support the first-year residents. The Head and both Deputy Heads of College reside on the premises. Facilities include a gym, computing facilities, tutorial rooms, a library, television/recreation areas, dining-hall, chapel, car-parking, and secure cycle-storage. Salmond's motto, as it appears in the college crest, is 'Gratia et Veritas', or 'Grace and Truth'. At the end of 2020 a whakatauākī was confirmed as a part of the mission-statement for the college: Ko te toa i a tini, i a mano o te takata - It is the bravery of a multitude, of thousands of people. This Ngāi Tahu whakatauākī, attributed to Tū Whakauika and Te Oreorehua, refers to the strength of collectivity. Salmond entered its 50th year in 2021.
