title: A literature review exploring a meaning for the term 'curriculum leadership'.

authors: Jefferies, Sherrin

subjects: curricula (courses of study)

abstract: Research on leadership in education often focuses on school management, educational change or curriculum development. There is little research however, in the area of curriculum leadership. With the introduction of seven new curriculum documents in the last eight years in New Zealand, I believe it has become increasingly important to consider who our curriculum leaders are, what it is they are leading, and the characteristics these people have that influence the practices and activities of others. In this article I have explored the roles of those people who might be considered to be curriculum leaders (Ministry of Education, School Support Services, Principals, Teachers, Consultants and Parents), in an attempt to define some of their leadership characteristics. I conclude the article with a summary of these characteristics.

title: The first crushing at Waiorongomai, November 1883

authors: Hart, Philip

abstract: By the time the battery was ready to crush the first batches of ore, expectations were high – too high. On 1 November 1883, when treatment started, suspicions of unethical conduct were raised by its being done in secrecy, suspicions raised even higher when, unexpectedly, the amalgam was squeezed in cold rather than hot water, as was usual. This method of treatment lowered the expected yield, causing much discontent, and the crushing proved that the ore in some mines expected to be profitable was unpayable. 
Although the outcome was generally disappointing, some retained hope for the future. But share prices soon declining significantly, a fall encouraged by suspicions of share market manipulation, insider trading, and speculation. Not being a poor man’s field because it contained so much low-grade ore with little possibility of discovering bonanzas, more prospecting and more crushing power was required. After such a long time waiting for large-scale crushing, the circumstances and results of the first treatment turned out to be a very bad start for the field, which for many would never overcome its bad reputation.

title: Kia Maanu, Kia Ora: Stay Afloat, Stay Alive – Acknowledging the significance of tikanga Māori in formulating and communicating water safety policies and practices

authors: Haimona, Mark

subjects: New Zealand

abstract: The traditional beliefs and practices of Māori demonstrate great respect for water, for its dangers as well as its life-giving properties, and Māori have, along with other Polynesian peoples, been known for their skill in swimming, fishing and canoeing. However, Māori now outnumber others in New Zealand in terms of the proportion involved in drowning and water-related injury. In seeking to promote water safety among Māori, Water Safety New Zealand has enlisted the help of Māori communities. Its message - Kia Maanu, Kia Ora (Stay Afloat, Stay Alive) - is underpinned by an acknowledgment of the need to reinforce the traditional respect for water that permeates the Māori worldview.
