aikato District Council will be carrying out routine maintenance of Raglan’s Phoenix palm trees later this month.

The palm trees, which are a prominent feature along Bow St, require maintenance every few years.

The pruning work has been planned to be carried out between 24-

26 June (weather dependant). Trucks with cherry pickers will be used to do the work. They will be parked on the road so traffic management will be in place.

Council apologises for any inconvenience and disruption that this work may cause to the daily traffic flow through Raglan’s town centre.

Surfboard carver Jess Santorik is making waves at Te Papa store

Also at H.G Webb House, Cnr Boundary & Victoria Streets, Hamilton

MORTGAGE BROKERS Murtaghs Dermot M. Murtagh Jess Santorik with her surfboad art piece outside Te Papa Museum in Wellington.

S

urfboard carver Jess Santorik’s first exhibition at Raglan Arts Weekend has paid dividends with an opportunity to show her work at Te Papa Store.

Exhibiting out of her garage on Wallis St, she joined the 2019 arts weekend with some trepidation.

“I really wasn’t sure at first if people would even come,” she says.

She and partner Eligh transformed their garage into a gallery, got busy with signage and her first RAW exhibition was a great success with lots of visitors and sales of her Māori-inspired surfboard carvings.

And to add to that success Jess was visited by the Te Papa Store buyer looking for artwork to match the store’s new Matariki theme.

The piece chosen Nehutai /Sea Spray tells the story of Tangaroa, creator of waves and God of the sea - sending swells to the east and west coast of Aotearoa.

“Each line represents a new swell barreling through the lineup, with each hand plaited braid symbolising the offshore sea spray blessing our shores.”

More than a million people from around the world visit New Zealand’s national museum every year and the store is one of the first places they see when they step inside.

“It’s so huge to have so many people going through and seeing my work,” she says.

Jess draws her inspiration from her passion for the sea, surfing, culture and all things Māori, and each piece tells a story.

The businesses and individuals advertising in the Raglan Chronicle are participating not only to promote their businesses, but to show their support for our community paper – so be sure to tell them you saw them in the Raglan Chronicle.

Local businesses are the foundation of our community - and they make it possible for us to bring the Raglan Chronicle to you. ww

Using recycled raw polyurethane surfboards, Jess sources her materials from surfboard manufacturers from around New Zealand and overseas.

As well as carving the larger traditional shaped surfboards, she also does smaller pieces using the broken bits of boards.

A world-class surfer, Jess was inspired and taught by legendary surfboard carver Aaron Kereopa.

“I’ve remember seeing him at a surf comp, I was so bored waiting for my heats so I would go and watch him work. I’ve always been really curious about art and carving and I was just an annoying little grommet asking him lots questions,” she says.

That was 2004, and Aaron took the ‘annoying grommet’ under his wing, gave her some tips and sent her on her way.

earing the councillor hat is a 24/7 job, whether I’m at the supermarket, on the sideline at Saturday sports or in the office on Bow Street, there is never a dull moment.

Lately there have been some higher profile happenings in town; the unplanting and replanting of our Bow St gardens.

To clarify, the money for the upgrade comes from general rates, these are rates collected from ratepayers across the district. I saw Freddie, his team and Kim from WDC working in the gardens and planting. Good timing with the rain coming down this week.

Consultation results on the proposed Raglan Food Waste Targeted Rate, resolved THAT Council does not implement the proposed targeted rate and the Raglan kerbside food waste collection discontinue being funded by Council as of the 30 June 2019.

that staff provide any other options and a definitive timeline for action.

Y

ear 13 drama student, Sequoia GavinMcCabe, answers questions about Raglan Area School's upcoming senior drama class production 'Love of a Nightingale', directed by drama teacher & Director Ruth Hare How long have you been acting and what has been your most enjoyable role/s to play so far and why?

I am proud to say that this will be my sixth year performing in one of Ruth’s productions.

All of my roles have been uniquely special in their own way but I would have to say that the most enjoyable so far would be Dorothy in ‘Oz’ three years ago because it was such an amazing experience to work with so many people of different ages and be able to watch it all come together. Plus Dorothy was such a loveable character to embody and playing her really gave me a lot of confidence in my own acting.

Tell us about your role in Love of a Nightingale?

I play one of the leads, Philomele, in Love of a Nightingale. I’m super excited about this role because it is definitely my most challenging so far and I feel like it has given me the space and opportunity to grow in such a mature production.

What can the audience expect from Love of a Nightingale?

Love of a Nightingale by Timberlake Wertenbaker is a deeply moving modern day adaptation of a Greek myth set in Athens and Thrace that explores themes that are still as relevant today as they were 2000 years ago: feminism, being silenced, abuse, power, death, love and war. We have also managed to incorporate some song and dance elements, too. It does contain mature themes so is not suited for children.

What message do you want the audience to take away from seeing the play?

I think that the messages in the play will speak to each audience member differently but one that will definitely be in the forefront of everybody’s mind is that the themes we are exploring are ones that need to be talked about.

They shouldn't be tiptoed around and treated as taboo and even if you feel as though you, too, have been silenced, there is still a way for your voice to be heard.

What are your plans next year and will performing have a role to play in your future?

Next year I hope to go travelling and then hit the books at uni where I will definitely pursue my love of performing arts.

Outdoor education a hit with Raglan Area School students

Raglan Area Students in the Manaaki Ao programme.

R

aglan Area School students have been getting outdoors and getting academic results with Karioi Project’s NCEA Manaaki Ao programme.

The programme, which was piloted at the school in 2017, is inspiring the young conservationists future career choices and helping them grow in confidence and develop leadership and work-ready skills.

Year 11 students Brandon Gannaway, Keylin Walker-Pitman and Sienna Hanson, all 15, say one of the best things about the programme is getting out of the traditional classroom setting.

“It’s something different from school and it’s been really fun,” Sienna says.

“It’s pretty cool exploring the community around us,” Keylin says.

They hope the skills they gain on the programme will provide opportunities for further study and future career choices.

“I hope it helps me to get a job, something around biology, diving, field work,” Keylin says.

“Getting outdoors has helped inspire my photography,” Brandon says.

“I’ve always wanted to do something outdoors with animals,” Sienna says.

Tutors Annie Lorenzen, Amber Jones, Bex Eivers and Kristel van Houte have been

Students learn essential skills about conservation and being outdoors. working on marine and freshwater themes, and this included a trip over the harbour to Te Akau, which was a hit with the students.

“I really enjoyed going over the harbour in the boat. We went on the beach and lit a fire and cooked some food,” Sienna says.

Annie says the students of all levels thrived on the activity-based experiential learning, which encourages them to value their environment.

“It was great to see students display the knowledge, abilities and skills they have and that they don't normally get to show.

One student was able to discuss traditional methods of catching tuna (eel). He was stoked to be able to teach the teacher and realise the

value of that traditional knowledge in today’s environmentally sustainable world.”

Manaaki Ao is run in partnership with the school, Papa Taiao Earthcare and A Rocha Aotearoa New Zealand and aims to develop NCEA students’ skills in sustainable and ecological actions and enable them to earn NCEA credits through hands-on practical conservation activities.

In the outdoor classroom the students are introduced to a variety of local environmental issues and initiate and develop sustainable solution to address the issues facing their generation.

ffering face-to-face sessions as well as online options and occasional workshops, Etai brings over 10 years of experience in counselling/ hypnotherapy to Whaingaroa. Etai’s intention as a therapist is to create a lasting positive change in people’s lives and empower them to continue on their path to happy, free and healthy lives.

Etai was born and raised in Israel.

After compulsory army service he worked in sound engineering in the music industry. His life changed in his 30’s while journeying with two Israeli mates across Australia on bicycle.

Riding 12,000km across the Australian expanse was a pivotal point. Riding in the sun, carrying everything on them, tenting it in the outback surrounded by red earth and

eucalypts. Meeting the land and her people.

The explorer-freedom-seeker in him was ignited. There was no turning back.

He’s since travelled the world, from the Himalayas and Europe to the lakes of Guatemala and beaches of Mexico. He’s feeling at home now in Raglan, loving the veggie gardens, awesome community and kitesurfing.

Etai received his diploma in Hypnotherapy from UncommonKnowledge at Brighton University, England. He’s continually inspired by the science of psychology and it’s progression in recent times, including effective new approaches such as positive psychology, solution-focused therapy, CBT, NLP and the Human Givens. New findings give us a better understanding of the principles of change. Interestingly, this modern knowledge also weaves well with wisdom from ancient traditions.

As a therapist Etai specialises in counselling people to create positive change. This includes helping with depression, anxiety, trauma (PTSD) or any other pressing issue. Each session is different and tailored to meet the client’s own needs.

Recently Etai launched a Koha Tuesday initiative. He’s part of a group of local therapists from a different discipline who are aware that in a diverse population like Raglan not everyone can afford full price sessions. They dedicate a day a week to assisting those residents.

Exhibition: Dream Time Motion

Dreamy photography from Lenoie Anholts will also feature.

Armin Schmidt with one of his art pieces.

A

love of Raglan and art has inspired artists Armin Schmidt and Leonie Anholts to share their work in Dream Tide Motion exhibition at the Old School Arts Centre.

Running from July 1-31, the exhibition opening night is on June 30 at the Old School from 6pm, with music by Joe Wilson, nibbles and a raffle.

The creative pair describe the exhibition as an ‘exploration of the space and motion that connects us...between dream and consciousness, wave and shore, real and imagined, you and me.’

A photographer and former design student, Leonie captures moments in the surf and surrounds of Whaingaroa.

A keen surfer herself, she uses digital and film photography and especially loves the

challenge of only having 36 images on a roll of film to make the moments count.

“Using film really slows you down.

Everything changes when you are in the surf the waves change, light changes, the surfers are moving – it makes film really interesting and challenging. Then you send the film away and it’s always a surprise when you get it back.”

An engineer and community volunteer, Armin paints images inspired by Polynesian and Aboriginal Australians’ art.

“Everything and anything that inspires.

My trip to Australia gave me the spark that I needed after my parents didn’t really support my creativity. I draw from positive people, skateboarding, surfing, mixed martial arts, yoga or whatever moves me in the moment,” he says.

Using acrylic paint on plywood, old skateboards, surfboards, canvas or whatever he can get his hands on, the creative process for Armin is something he needs to release in one time. He sometimes spends hours getting

it right and he can’t leave the work until its complete.

“It all has to happen in that moment. As soon as I start a project I will keep going until it’s finished. The trick is knowing when it’s done and when is the time to put the paintbrush down.”

The artistic friends say the exhibition is a great way to not only share their work but also to thank people who have supported them and the wider community that influences the direction they have taken with their work.

“This is about bringing people together.

It not only gives us a platform to follow this dream to have an exhibition but to thank people for the support and encouragement,” Leonie says.

The community-minded pair are donating 100% of their raffle earnings from the exhibition to the Kairoi Project and there will be Plastic Free Raglan t-shirts for sale – a collaboration initiated by passionate environmentalist Armin, local graphic designer Ezra André and Luke Hughes from Raglan Surf Co.

Manukau Road, Raglan.

Health in your Hands Winter Solstice Tomorrow is the shortest day and we are almost half way through 2019 and Mother nature has provided Raglan with lots of fine days to brighten up the winter. Even the night skies have been full of celestial light. This year the June Full Moon was seen for three nights called the Strawberry Moon it is named after the short strawberry season in the Northern Hemisphere. Coming from England I embrace the idea of people gathering together during the winter months.

Time to celebrate.

Matariki is the Māori name of large star which is a part of a Pleiades Star Cluster, known as the Seven Sisters, Their reappearance signals the start of the Māori New Year. The Matariki is a movable festival, due to the appearance of Pleiades in the southern skies. This year it can be seen on the shoulder of Taurus the Bull Constellation from 25 to 28 June, when Matariki will re-appear in the dawn sky.

With the Matariki Celebrations in full swing it’s a time to remember those who have passed on, honour the earth and commemorate the Maori New Year. There is a Maori New Year Market on Saturday

the 29th June at the Kokiri Centre 10 until 4 0clock.

Winter Harvest The fortnightly Crop Swap has been well supported with lots of produce being shared as well as gardening tips and ideas.

The local community has made good use of the abundance of winter fruit and vegetables and for the last three Tuesdays a group of Raglan ladies have made a selection of soups and provided an opportunity for locals to gather together and share a meal, at the same time raising funds to help complete the new building at the Old School.

The Horticultural Society also enjoyed a selection of homemade soups for their winter shared lunch. Care and Craft opted for fish and chips for their midwinter lunch, while The Raglan Support Group plan a roast meal for their midyear dinner.

Timebank celebrates the Winter Solstices on Friday 21st June with a pot luck dinner.

Regatta Caps a Year of Milestones for Raglan Sailing Club

W

hen we find ourselves starting to take our beautiful harbour and community for granted it can be eye-opening to see Whaingaroa through the lens of someone else's appreciation.

This was the experience of the sailing club recently when sailors from Waikato-Thames, Hamilton and Ngaroto Sailing Clubs came to compete in the Raglan Sailing Club inaugural Regatta. They were completely blown away by the beautiful environment and the friendly welcoming tone of both the regatta the Sailing Club itself. Admittedly the weekend was picturesque, the winds were very light and sails in the drifting fog made for beautiful images that are indelible in the memories of the visitors. Their only disappointment was that they didn't see any orcas.

Despite the light winds the regatta was a great success and the Sailing Club is grateful for the support of chief sponsor Burns Co but also would really like to thank the other organisations that supported it including the Yot Club, Top Cut Meats, Soul Shoes, Trek-n-Travel, Karioi Lodge/ Raglan Surf School, Harley Davidson and Raglan Roast.

As most Raglan folk will know the Sailing Club has been around for many years located by the foreshore in the safe and sheltered tidal environment of Lorenzen Bay. This provides an ideal haven for the young (and old) to learn to sail but also gives easy access to the shifting winds and tides of the rest of the harbour for the regular sail days and events such as the regatta.

That mooring issue Many readers will remember coverage of the Lorenzen Bay and Whaingaroa mooring issue in the Chronicle last year. This has now been resolved in a way that supports the sustainability of the Sailing Club and the bay itself. The club would particularly like to acknowledge the support and encouragement it received from Tainui Hapu o Tainui Waka, Ngati Mahanga and the Regional Council in resolving these issues. Central to the resolution has been the Sailing Club’s long standing commitment to similarly act as kaitiaki and commitment to keep the use of Lorenzen Bay moorings accessible to the local community rather than be taken over by absentee property owners as has happened in many other places.

A great year Membership of the club has been on the increase and this has been greatly contributed to by the numbers of young people and adults coming to the learn to sail program throughout the season. Quality coaching at a fraction of the cost of other centres coupled with the availability of the club sail boats is part of the kaupapa of the club which is about making sailing

accessible to everyone in the Raglan community.

The learn-to-sail program has especially benefited from the leadership of Raglan/Te Akau new local, Kirsten Moratz. Kirsten is a highly soughtafter professional sailing coach, trained in Canada and having a wide experience coaching in New Zealand including as head coach in Tauranga.

In addition to Kirsten the club would like to thank Commodore, Chris Mitchell for his tireless contributions and acknowledge also the support of Gordon Wallis, Race Officer and Director of Waikato Thames Yachting Association Youth Development.

Complimenting the club’s collection of 12 Optimas and a bevy of other sail boats the club has, thanks to Gordon, benefited from the presence of the high performance Open Bic sailboats which everyone describes as being “really, really good fun to sail”.

Winter activities The Sailing Club has plenty of projects to keep members busy over winter including upgrading moorings, building sheltered racks for the sailboats, fundraising and the usual maintenance of the sailing, support and safety equipment.

If you have an interest in helping out with some of the chores get in touch and we will let you know what’s happening Next seasons program Next year promises to be even more successful with revamped learn-to-sail programmes to better target to age and skill levels and, of course, increased numbers for sailing activities. The annual regatta will be held earlier in the season to ensure more consistent wind and warmer temperatures though of course autumn temperatures this year were astonishingly and unseasonably warm.

You’re invited to check us out If you or your kids think you might like to join the Raglan Sailing Club or the Learn-to-Sail programme next season you can come down to Lorenzen Bay and check it out at 11.30, Saturday 22nd June (last sail day) or 11.30 on Sunday, 23rd June (last learn-to-sail day). While you are there you can give us your contact details and we will keep you in the loop for next season.

Thanks heaps for the support Finally the Sailing Club committee would again like to acknowledge and thank all the helpers, supporters and sponsors including of course Andy of the Yotty, Peter from Raglan Engineering, Tom from Te Mata Quarries, Meridian Energy and Burns Co. Contact Check out Raglan Sailing Club though these links: h t t p s : / / w w w. f a c e b o o k . c o m / groups/167132310098841/about and https://sailraglan.org/ Ross Henderson

Issac Raynor enjoys getting the most out of one of the club's Optima class sailoats in light winds.

When the sailing is over there's still plenty to do but there's nowhere members would rather be.

T E M ATA S C H O O L N E W S Te Mata School Cross Country

Young Emily Gaustad came first in her year.

T

his term Te Mata School had their annual cross country event on the 16th of May 2019, and it was a huge success. All the kids ran their hardest and tried their best to win.

There was a great turn out of parents, friends and family that came to support all of the children and watch them race.

At first the weather was a bit miserable but the year 7 and 8’s still ran. Once they had run their race the weather started to look up so the junior school came out and ran their races.

The 5 and 6 year olds ran one lap of Mr Lester Adams field located next to the school down Church Lane. 7,8,9 and 10 year olds ran two laps of the field and the 11 and 12 year olds had the hard task of running 3 laps.

On Friday 24 May 2019 a selected group of runners from Te Mata School went to Waitetuna School, along with Waitetuna School, Raglan Area school, Te Uku School, Rotokauri School and Horotiu School, to compete in the inter school cross country. Special thanks to Mr Mark Macleod, Mrs Linda Holmes, Emma Snowden who made the day possible and to Amy Hanna who managed to produce some amazing face paint. Overall we had an amazing day and can’t wait to come back next year!

Special mention to the 4 Te Mata girls that got a place in the inter schools, Jayla Waitere 2st, Abi Meyer 3rd, Emily Gaustad 1st and Milla Taggart 2nd.

Te Mata Students attend the New Zealand Young Leaders Day

Our young leaders standing outside Claudelands Events centre!

W

elcome back Whaingaroa, this term I will be speaking about the New Zealand young leaders day, a day-long event which inspires, motivates and encourages younger children to be whoever and whatever they want to be.

Our school sent 5 students ( Emma Gott, Maia Holland Smith, Maria Grilli, Bella Storie Palmer and Isaac Limbert) and a teacher aide ( Emma Snowden.) We finished off the day with a breathtaking performance by New Zealand rapper Kings! Let's have a listen to what some of our young leaders have to say about this inspiring day!

Q. Who was your favourite speaker and why?

Maia: Ronnie Taulafo, I liked him because he was funny, and he travelled quite a distance to inspire and motivate us.

Emma: I think Ronnie Taulafo was my favourite because he had this amazing element of fun and it was really interesting because he came from a really rough background.

Bella: Ronnie Taulafo was my favourite speaker because he was so inspiring and his life was really hard but he picked himself up and he made the most of it.

Q. Did you learn anything new and who from?

Maia: I learnt from Hana Tapiata that you don't need to worry so much about what people think of you, and that we are stronger together!

Emma: I learnt from Dr Lehan Stemmet that when you can see all these little particles shining through the window in the sunlight that it is all dead skin. Humans shed 1 layer a month.

Bella: I learnt from Christian Gallen that you should never eat dog roll even when you think it is luncheon.

Taylor Hanna’s Cancer Relay

O

ur very own Taylor Hanna has agreed to participate in a Cancer Relay. Last term she raised an estimate of $260 by selling Cillipo mini ice blocks to the students at Te Mata school and little more from busking.

They remind me how joyful life can be. Learning so much from them and the amazing teachers.

Q. When you were intermediate age who did you look up to?

The people I would meet out in the ocean.

Q. Who inspired you to be a teacher/ teacher aide?

A. I think nature inspired me, I get so much appreciation of life and I just really feel like I needed to share this experience with Tamariki.

By Femka Wylie

Taylor is doing a cancer awareness campaign called Relay For Life. She is such a great role model for our younger students. She had planned to raise all the money for 2 months . “ My mum ( Amy Hanna) said we should join relay for life because she was already doing it with her friends and she was wondering if we wanted to join, so Cass and I agreed ” Taylor recounts. Cancer is such a deadly illness, we are so grateful that we can help those in need .

Taylor is an inspiration to everyone, and that just proves to everyone out there in Raglan, that the smallest thing can make the biggest difference to those in need. We can only imagine how many people Taylor, Cassidy and Amy Hanna are helping, and they couldn’t have done it without the motivating support and donation of all the anonymous and identified donations.

WAITETUNA SCHOOL NEWS A Funny Sunny Summer Camp

Waitetuna's senior class camp.

L

ast term Waitetuna school - senior class went on a wonderful class camp. It was a 3 day camp. We stayed at Papamoa Pacific Holiday camp.

Experimenting With Amazement

- warm=cold. Then we were free to do whatever we wanted for one hour. We had lots of fun on the activities. After the activities we went to do team building exercises. Then we retreated back to our camp.

Day 3: We travelled back to the water park. They taught us Waka Ama. We floated down the river, but due to our unorganized paddling we got stuck in some trees and bushes hanging over the edge. We finally paddled back up the river and made it to the dock. After that we got to choose any of the water activities. Georgie was nearly sent flying into space on the Blob. We were all sad to leave.

But it was a camp we’ll all remember!

By Naomi & Orion.

Waitetuna students enjoy the science road show.

Street school. Scientists mixed certain chemicals together to make cool reactions.

On the first day we went to Mt Maungatautari mountain sanctuary. The bush is surrounded by a 47 km pest proof fence. The whole class climbed up to a tower in the sky. It wasn’t literally in the sky, but it was as high as the tree’s in the top canopy, so the birds were flying around us, which was pretty cool.

Once we got back down we were greeted by seven Kaka. We even got to see a family of Takahe, and we went looking for Tuatara. We found three - two older ones and one baby Tuatara.

Day 2: We went to the Waimarino Water Park.

We started of with a swim test to make sure that we could swim well enough for the river. Then we had a lecture about safety and things we could not do, including banned “swear” words - cold, freezing and can’t. So we just used our newly learnt code

Inspiration For Young Leaders

C

entre for National Young Leaders Day. The theme of the day was “ He Aha Te Kai A Te Rangatira, He Korero He Korero He Korero” What is the food of a leader? It is conversions.

National Young Leaders Day.

There were many inspiring speakers like - Ronnie Taulafo, Hana Tapiata, Christian Gallen, Dr Lehan Stemmet and Kings. All spoke at some level on that topic.

In our opinion the most informative speakers were Hana Tapiata and Dr Lehan Stemmet. Hana taught us to listen to our inner voices, the good ones - not the bad ones. Dr Lehan Stemmet is a psychologist. He told us that there is no we in me but there is a me in we. In other words, the leader is part of a team.

The most entertaining was Ronnie Taulafo. He told us about his life and how he became a host on the TV show What Now. He basically walked us through his life - moving to Australia, being in foster care going to a detention camp, then moving to New Zealand! He also showed us a video from when he went back to Samoa and a funny parody he filmed in What Now. He Aha Te Kai A Te Rangatira? He Koreo He Koreo He Koreo.

What is the food of a leader? It is Conversions.

n Thursday 2nd of May, the senior class went to Rhode

Our favorite experiment was when they mixed powder into a liquid and it foamed up like elephant toothpaste.

It was bright pink and blue and really foamy. There was also lots of little stations around the hall, that you could go play with and learn about.

There was a bed of nails, that you could lie down on. Even our teacher tried it out. And there was also a very cool large bubble maker, where you can stand in a small baby pool and a person makes a giant bubble around you. We had lots of fun and learnt a lot of new things about science.

New Playing Court

O

ver the first term of 2019, Waitetuna School has fundraised money to resurface and re-line our Tennis, Basketball and Netball court.

We think Waitetuna may have made their first court before 1960.

About 10 years ago the old court was last relined, and now in 2019, we have decided to resurface and reline our courts.

We couldn't have done it without Meridian, Waikato District Council and The Waitetuna Wind Farm Trail Run. We fundraised so much money to supply our school with this new court.

The Wind Farm fun run has really helped our school with painting and putting new lines in our pool and now our courts. Over the last few days all the children have loved playing on our new court!

Curious Minds take Students on Zoo Trip to Explore Zoology

Students checking out virtual reality goggles at Kihikihi Space Centre.

ecently, E2 and I2 went to the Kihikihi Space Centre to learn more about their space from enthusiast Dave Owens.

Dave started by showing us inside of the space centre and viewing a few small clips about living in space.

Then he started to talk about the moon landing. One person was a moon landing conspiracy theorist, but fortunately, Dave had a few facts up his sleeve.

When the presentation came to an end, one group stayed behind to test out the Virtual Reality goggles. "It looked so real, and when you looked behind you, space was all around you, not just in front of you. It was actually quite freaky," said student Isabella Waitere. They also tried completing activities while wearing space gloves,

like screwing a bolt into a nut. "It was impossible to do anything because they were so thick that it was hard to actually move your hand," commented Isobel Peart.

In the main centre, it was time to explore the space museum. A row of computers loaded with games and space facts were swarmed by students. In the back room, a TV sat in the corner screening videos about space. A long line of children clustered around a small, rocking, space shuttle.

A collection of space items were displayed against the walls, such as space suits from various countries.

It is definitely worth going to visit Dave at the Space Centre, the Year 5 and 6 students learnt a lot from this experience.

Raglan Area School year 9-10 Hamilton Zoo visit.

O

n Friday the 7th of June, the Curious Minds team took the Year 9-10 students to the Hamilton Zoo.

There were three classes from RAS attending this trip in total, all scheduled for different days.

Whaea Ari's class was the first class to depart to Hamilton last week, then Matua Joe’s, then Matua Te Whaiwhaia’s.

The group met at class for roll call and karakia, and then gathered outside the office where their ride to Hamilton - Raglan Shuttle - were waiting. After a reasonably short ride to Hamilton, the senior class made their way out of the shuttles and through the doors to the Zoo. We were then led by a Curious Minds member into a small classroom decorated with bizarre and interesting things - ranging from snake skins to baby turtles. A member of staff introduced us to the Zoo and the conservation work they were doing there.

Before we leave, we have to choose a surfboard and pack it in the van. Given that there are only about 10 surfboards, and on a sunny day we have about 20 kids, it often leads to arguments.

When we arrive at the beach, the kids pile out of the van and into the changing room - or should I say the chatting rooms because everybody chats so much!

Once everybody is in the wet suits we start the long descent from the car

park all the way down the huge hill to the beach. Out there in the waves, it is awesome, all the kids from your school surfing with you and the best part is that there are almost always some pretty gnarly waves. Almost every week, when there have been good waves, someone inevitably breaks a board or snaps a leggy.

As you come back up the hill to the car park it is torture, and when you finally make it back to the van, everyone is tired and ready to go home. The chat on the way back is always a lot more tired than when we started because we're worn out from our great time surfing.

E1 students making robots.

Afterwards, the students were free to explore and observe the objects and animals the room contained.

Then the proper exploration began. Everyone filed out of the classroom and started to look around the zoo itself. They were wowed by everything, from the tiny monkeys and birds to the huge and dominating tigers. Photos were taken and the students laughed as the animals showed off their stunts and tricks.

After a thorough look-around, everyone assembled near the cafe to be split into two groups for the most exciting activity - the animal encounters.

One group went down to feed the gibbons, while the other group went over to the rhinos. It was truly an amazing experience to pat something as big as a rhinoceros.

This trip was both entertaining and fun, and the encounters were completely unexpected and a great addition to the trip.

S

tudents from E1 have recently been learning time management by making robots with Whaea Aroha.

Whaea Aroha told us to go home and collect all the junk from our bins and Kaahu’s Nest then bring it back into school. A whole bunch of things were brought back the next day, everything from old jars, computer parts, kitchen utensils, medicine bottles... you name it, we had it! We started making our robots with bright ideas and a bunch of hot glue guns.

It took around two sessions. We started on a plan with our parts in front of us, then stuck them together with blue tack. The next day we got into work. There were a lot of burnt fingers, but everyone enjoyed it.

When we were done, they all looked so cool and we were all really proud of our work.

After we constructed our robots, Whaea Aroha challenged us to go further, like making a diagram in te reo Maaori, accurately measuring the weight, height, and length of the robot and creating a 15-second video of our robot. Some people got all of them done, others got stuck on the first one….time management sure is a challenge!

TE UKU SCHOOL NEWS Te Uku Seniors Adventures Continue Friday Fun area. It is called the Horse Paddock because years ago it used to be where children who rode horses to school tied them up for the day.

Te Uku Senior Camp caving.

E

very Friday, if it’s not pouring with rain, the Junior Discovery goes down to the Horse Paddock. This is our school native bush

This is our time to play, explore, try new things and challenge ourselves in nature. There is a stream running through it that some of the kids like to clean out and play with the sticks. This can get very muddy. Others learn how to look after nature by picking up any rubbish that they find there. We say it’s good to learn about nature by playing!

We get to go up to the school garden where there are lemons and apples growing that we can eat, and a huge magnolia tree to climb. Some kids like to build huts and make and eat imaginary ice-creams!

The Junior Discovery even find avocados. We like how it’s big and how it’s got lots of places to explore. The trees and bushes are cool and shady to play under. We like how you can have adventures exploring in the horse paddock! Sometimes it can get windy and the birds sing beautiful songs. We find epic treasure in the horse paddock! We plant different types of plants and learn how to take care of them. We love the native trees and plants and often hear the birds chirping as we walk around the track.

It is a special place to us because not that many schools have a Horse Paddock like ours!

What do children think about climate change?

in the Horse Paddock

T

e Uku School senior students have planned an adventurous year of epic outdoor experiences from whitewater rafting, to skiing and surfing. Last Friday, we ventured into the ancient Te Pahu caves.

Everyone was prepared for a cold experience, wearing thermal clothes and raincoats. Harry, from Raglan Rock, was continually informing us of the challenges we were about to face as we entered. Entering the cave, with stories of moa bones found and recent collapsing caves, our hearts were pumping with exhilaration and we couldn’t wait to get deeper in.

We were trudging our sloppy shoes through water most of the time and stepping over rocks of all different shapes and sizes. We learnt all sorts of facts as we went further into the ancient limestone caves. We learnt about calcium bentonite, which is a silky mud that is really good for your skin - so we covered our faces in it. So many people challenged themselves, even though they had fears of tight spaces and creepy crawlies.

We had a fascinating time, seeing so many glow worms and big stalagmites and stalactites, which grow one centimetre every 100 years. There was even a room called “the auditorium” which was huge, we sang our hearts out. We were so loud it sounded like there were 100 of us underground. I would 100% do this again, so would our class!

Band practise at Te Uku School

Te Uku Students talk climate change.

Frankie: “Human actions have changed the weather and I am angry.”

Katie: “I think it's sad because polar bears die!”

Ivy, Jade, Bonnie & Giorgia: “The current rate of climate change is bad and we should take action to try and stop it.”

Havana: “I think it is sad because animals and people are losing their homes.”

At Te Uku School this term, we have been learning all about what it means to live and work sustainably. To help us understand this better we have been investigating the United Nations Global Goals for Sustainable Development.

The year 5 & 6s have been focusing predominantly on Climate Action, by challenging themselves to think about what they can do on an individual level and what effect each action and decision they make

can have on our climate. Some students have chosen to limit their use of plastic products this term, while others are investigating their use of fossil fuels to explore the concept of thinking globally and acting locally.

During this investigation, we have learnt lots about many wonderful people such as Greta Thunberg, a Swedish teen who spoke at the UN about our need for climate action. At 15 years old she marched on parliament to illustrate the immediate action necessary to combat climate change. We felt inspired by her courage to stand up and take action, we hope that together we can inspire others to take action too.

Written in collaboration with Indi Ruka, Ava Wood, Havana Field, Satori Van Staden and Kiri Banks Year 5 & 6

uring Friday lunch times, some students from Te Uku School go down to the hall to do band practice. The band currently has five members; Nadia on lead vocals, Diego on electric guitar, Finn on bass, Rya on keyboard and Conor keeps the beat on the drums.

We found that being part of a band had more challenges than just learning songs. Rya found that it was difficult to play while listening to Nadia sing.

For Nadia it was challenging to project her voice so that she and the other band members could hear it. Diego worked hard to stay in time with everyone else and Finn tried his best to not look at his bass.

When the band got better and better, they practised more often. Mr Johnson was very helpful to give up his lunch time to teach us the song ‘Sunday Morning’ by Maroon 5. When Mr Johnson saw that we were ready to show an audience, he organised for us to play it at a school assembly. People gave us lots of comments like, “Nadia you could of sang louder”, “Great job, your band is growing a personality of its own”, “I liked the whole thing just I couldn’t hear everything clearly”. We really enjoy playing together as a band and can’t wait to learn a new song and perform again.

Coworking space Raglan HQ turns one!

Raglan Bowls winter tournament

F

avourable weather bought a full field for our second winter tournament.

R

aglan HQ, the high-end coworking space at 13A Wallis St, recently celebrated its first year in business. Workers at the shared office have enjoyed building an inclusive, dynamic culture in this bright and open space. It has become the perfect hub for freelancers, small business owners and employees wanting to cut the commute.

Within this network of over 20 diverse colleagues, business collaborations, ride-shares and spontaneous fruit-picking all coexist in one place.

The eclectic group of people who share the space range from financial advisors to fencing businesses, from lawyers to auditors and researchers to excavation specialists.

Raglan HQ owner and manager Hayley Willers says starting up the shared office in Raglan has hugely benefited the work, life balance she struggled to achieve when she was commuting to Hamilton.

“Avoiding the commute two days a week gives me extra family time, plus the opportunity to go for that morning run that I can never fit in (or hit snooze a few more times). The unintentional networking that comes from working in a shared space has been an added bonus” Hayley laughs.

Rag;an HQ marketing manager Francesca Dodd says her productivity has increased tenfold since starting work at the coworking space.
