An Easter ‘tail’ By Sharnahea Wilson
Preschool and primary school students got into the spirit of Easter last week when they celebrated ‘Palm Sunday’ with a real-life donkey. On Monday, March 14 Tilly the donkey, along with some other farm animals from Zippity Zoo, visited the students at Samuel Marsden Collegiate School to help re-create the triumphant procession into Jerusalem. Palm Sunday occurs the week before Easter and recalls the time Jesus entered Jerusalem on the back of a donkey with crowds welcoming Him, waving palm branches and cheering “Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna (praise) in the highest heaven”. Continued on page 2 Marsden Primary School students (back) Evangeline Leach, (left to right) Eloise Catley-Lewis, Sophie Penn, Millicent Hiku and Una Alagusundaram get cuddly with a donkey in the lead up to Easter.

The students at Marsden made their own “palms” for waving, and processed around the courtyard and into the chapel singing “Make way, make way for Christ the King in splendour arrives!” In chapel the gospel story was read before the students sang again as they walked out to meet and pet the other farm animals. Marsden Chaplain, Sarah King said it was important the school covered the whole journey Jesus made that week before Easter. “On Palm Sunday Jesus was hailed as a King, son of God, and someone who would rescue the people from Roman oc-

cupation. “By Thursday, Jesus’ disciples gathered to celebrate the Passover meal and that night Jesus was betrayed and arrested.” Sarah explained how Good Friday was the day Jesus was crucified, then on Easter Sunday we celebrate– rejoicing in the new life of Jesus’ resurrection and the new life that Christians share through Him. “That’s the reason for the chocolate eggs, a symbol of new life – a ‘sweet’ new life. The celebration of Easter day doesn’t make sense without the recollection of the whole story, Easter is sweeter because of what comes before it.”

Chair of Woodridge Planters, which organised the picnic, Peter Gilberd was impressed with the crowd’s efforts to celebrate being good neighbours. “We normally see our neighbours when we are rushing around, going to work, or running the kids around. What a difference to meet the neighbours in a relaxed environment. Neighbours Day is a great concept,” he said.

Choir concert for Good Friday By Sharnahea Wilson
Wellingtonians will be treating their ears this Easter weekend with a performance from Tudor Consort put together by former Consort director Peter Walls. Peter directed the choir for ten years and is returning for
a concert on Good Friday as part of the consort’s 30th anniversary. Getting in the spirit of Easter, Peter decided to work with two major pieces by German composer Heinrich Schutz. “I have always had a strong love for baroque repertoire,” Peter explained.
Peter Walls is excited to be working with Wellington Choir Tudor Consort again on Good Friday. PHOTO: Sharnahea Wilson
He decided on two works with the first being Musikalishes Exequien also known as Funeral Music. This has three parts to it and Peter said Schutz was very particular about where he wanted the singers placed during the piece. “Two sopranos and a baritone will be stationed in the loft up the back. This will represent the soul of a redeemed person being taken to heaven by angels,” Peter said. The second work is the beautiful Matthaeus Passion, or St Matthew Passion which sees the composer turn away from the florid Italian style to the austerity of the earliest passion settings. Peter decided to use Schutz’s work because he believes he was the greatest German composer before Bach. “Schutz was the greatest German composer of the 17th century. His St Matthew Passion looks forward to Bach, while the funeral music shows the
influence of his visits to Venice to study with Monteverdi.” In celebration of their 30th year as a choir, Tudor Consort has invited back each of its previous directors to put on a show each throughout the year. Peter is excited to work with the choir once again. “It is wonderful to be working again with The Tudor Consort – they are such a fine, stylish ensemble.” Peter has done many things in the world of music since leaving the Tudor Consort in 1999, including teaching at Victoria University’s School of Music and Serving as Chief Executive in the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra for nearly ten years. Peter said the Good Friday concert will be something everyone can appreciate. “The music is really very accessible, anyone can enjoy it.” To purchase tickets for the concert visit www.tudorconsort.org.nz

THIS COULD Thinking of selling? Renowned New Zealand play comes backBEtoYOU! life Chris Day By Sharnahea Wilson the Springbok tour. Written in the 90s by a renowned New Zealand playwright, Joyful and Triumphant is being brought back to life by its original director and some of its original cast. To celebrate the 40th birthday of Circa Theatre, this award winning play is returning to inform and entertain new audiences. Director and Kelburn woman Susan Wilson is “delighted” to be working on the play, written by Robert Lord, for the second time. The play portrays a family over 40 years, from 1949 to 1989, and each scene is set on Christmas Day in a different year. Susan said the play covers everything that happened socially and politically during that time, from the stock market crash to
It is nostalgic for Susan, working on the well-known kiwi play again. “I’m really thrilled to be directing the play again. It’s a beautiful play – beautifully constructed.” Susan explained how Robert was living in New York at the time he wrote the play so we get to see the country from a different perspective. She said the play gives a commentary on what was happening over those 40 years but Robert constructs it in a way that is both sad and funny. The play was a hit at the Wellington Festival when it was first performed in 1992, winning multiple awards including best writer and best director. The cast and crew then travelled to Australia and London, show-

Easter messages from your local Councillors Northern Ward Councillor - Malcolm Sparrow
Easter eggs! Most of us enjoy them and I’m no exception. My wife and I will exchange Easter eggs on Easter Sunday and we’ll also give them to our grown-up kids. Then we’ll get to an Easter Service to reflect on what Easter is all about. In recent years we’ve gone to Queenstown/ Central Otago each Easter to relax and enjoy the autumn colours. We’re saving that for late April this year. Instead we’ll be home working on the house one day and will enjoy visiting Wairarapa the next. Make the most of your break and enjoy time on the non-working days with your loved ones!
Deputy Mayor - Justin Lester
I want to wish everyone a very happy Easter and I hope Wellingtonians will be able to spend some time with their loved ones. My wife Liz and I will be taking our kids up to Otaki for a few days to spend time with their grandparents and family friends. For us it’s about taking stock after a busy summer and having some downtime with our children. Have a great Easter everybody and travel safely if you’re heading out of town.
Onslow-Western Ward Councillor - Simon Woolf
Easter is a time of great religious and historical significance for many Wellingtonians. It is also a time to gain some solid rest and relaxation after a busy start to a year. Our family have decided to stay in Wellington, and spend some quality time together. The amazing weather we have had was a contributing factor. I picked up the Wellington Walks Guide today, and we will try to nail at least a couple of the tracks and trails around Wellington’s skyline. Wellington can be so stunning, and getting up onto the heights, with the views, and surrounded by our natural beauty, has that ability to recharge the batteries. There may even be the odd Easter egg and Hot Cross Bun consumed on the way! Wishing all Wellingtonians an enjoyable and safe time over the Easter break.
Northern Ward Councillor - Helene Ritchie
Have a great Easter in the coolest-hottest little Capital in the world, or wherever you choose. I will be hunting for Easter eggs in the bush, what will you be doing? Our new library for Johnsonville and the Northern suburbs is on track… and yes we will be able to show films there. Many happies, Helene.
Onslow-Western Ward Councillor - Andy Foster
“For most of us Easter is that last great long holiday weekend before winter arrives. However, especially as debate occasionally flares about such things as Easter trading hours, where did Easter come from? We all know it is a Christian festival marking the death and resurrection of Jesus. Going back even further a multitude of northern hemisphere cultures celebrated the coming of spring, fertility, and new life. The symbols of new life we use today like (Easter) eggs and bunnies go back thousands of years, and were picked up and wrapped into the Christian celebration of Easter. The name we use today seems to have come from an Anglo Saxon goddess of the spring. However you are marking Easter, enjoy yourself, and if you are travelling, please drive safely and courteously, and I hope the traffic is not too heavy!”

Students head for Hillary camp By Sharnahea Wilson
St Benedict’s School year eight students had their annual camp send off last week when younger students waved them off as they headed for the Hillary Outdoors Education Centre. St Benedict’s Khandallah Principal Dave Lamont said the camp send-off is one of the highlights of the year for year eight students. “The camp provides them with challenges throughout the week that help them to develop confidence, resilience, perseverance, problem solving and teamwork. “They are encouraged to push themselves to take part in activities that are mostly new to them and will broaden their experiences,” he said. The students left for the Education Centre in Tongariro National Park on Monday, March 14.
While the students are at camp they will take part in activities such as caving, abseiling, tramping, high ropes, kayaking across a lake and camping in tents over night as well as a range of team building activities. “One of the main benefits we have observed after the year eight students arrive back from their camp is that they are ready to take on their leadership roles with a new confidence and passion and they work together as a much more cohesive group throughout the rest of the year,” Dave said. While the year eight students are away at camp the year seven students are involved in their own ‘education outside the classroom’ experiences. “This year their activities include walking up Mt Kaukau, spending a day at Camp Kaitoke, Capital E, and winding up the week with a sports day at the Kilbirne ASB Sports Centre.”

58-year-old man charged in relation to fatal vehicle incident A homicide investigation is underway after a woman was killed in Northland last week. Police said emergency services were called to Garden Rd in Northland last Tuesday about 9.15pm, after receiving reports a woman had been hit by a car. Detective Sergeant Haley Ryan said despite the efforts of ambulance staff following the accident, the woman died at the scene. Police later confi rmed the woman who died was 55-year-old Delia Grace Williams. A 58-year-old man has since appeared in Wellington District Court charged with assault with a blunt
weapon and excess breath alcohol, in relation to the incident. Meanwhile, Sergeant Ryan said police were still trying to build a picture of the events leading up to Tuesday night’s incident. This included gathering as much information about Delia's history as possible, Sergeant Ryan said. “Therefore we would ask anyone who knew Delia and has information about her background or the days leading up to her death that may help with our enquiries to please contact Wellington Police.” If you have any information, contact 04 381 2000.

Cardinal McKeefry School is celebrating this year in style with dress up days and their new principal Tania Savage. After 20 years of service to Cardinal McKeefry and the local Wilton community, former principal Colleen Restieaux left at the end of term two 2015. Tania Savage started as the school principal in term three last year and has loved every minute of it. “The school has a very close community feel, they say it takes a village to raise a child and I believe that is true. It’s nice to be working in that sort of environment,” she said. Tania is very passionate about Catholic education and said she likes the fact that the school has a small roll. “You get to know the names of all the students.” Tania said it will be a busy year ahead for the school community with many students opting to take part in the New
Zealand-wide William Pike Challenge Award. To take part in the challenge, each student must begin a new sport or hobby and document their progress. Each student has an online journal which they write in each time they practice their hobby. The children also have to commit to a number of hours of community help each week with the overall aim of the challenge being to get kids outdoors. A team of 19 children from the school also took part in the recent Weetbix Tryathalon. Tania said the great thing about being part of a small school is the children get more opportunities to go places and participate in inter-school competitions. “Everyone gets a go.” Last week the school held a ‘wear something green’ day for St Patrick’s Day where each child brought along a small donation for Catholic charity Caritas.

Wellingtonians got together to celebrate Art in the Park recently when artists revitalised the historic Flagstaff Hill and Terrace Gardens. As part of the celebrations supported by Wellington City Council a community picnic was held and two innovative new artworks were installed on the walls of Flagstaff Hill by mosaic artist Rachel Silver and French Street Artist, Olivier Kenneybrew. The artworks, which were the result of collaboration between the artists and the local community,
aimed to enliven the space with bold colours. Mayor Celia Wade-Brown said “A big thank you to the community who advocated for the city to purchase Flagstaff Hill over a number of years and for working with the Council on the redesign of the Terrace Gardens”. Park goers wandered down to the Terrace Gardens Park on Saturday, March 12 where they watched the artists in action. They were then treated to live performances by local musicians.

Tenant happy with healthy home It will be a warmer winter in Johnsonville for one tenant and her family this year after her landlord made his rental property a healthier place to live. Johnsonville mum Tiriti Paikea has lived in her current home with her three kids, aged seven, six and two, for about a year and said last winter was a difficult time. “It was really quite cold – we had the heater going all the time. The power bills were quite big, between about $300 and $500 a month,” she said. Tiriti was using three electric heaters to warm up the two-storey home and all three of her kids were sick with respiratory illnesses such as bronchitis and asthma.
OUT
Tiriti was referred to Warm Fuzzies, a Sustainability Trust-run programme which supports families with housing-related health issues to improve their homes. An advisor assessed the house and prepared a report for landlord, Tong Liu. Healthy Homes manager Miranda Struthers advocated for tenants on ways their landlord could improve homes to both insure healthy tenants and upgrade their own asset. “It’s often hard to engage the landlord as there are currently no minimum standards for housing. The proposed Residential Tenancy Amendment Bill is a start, but it needs to go much further.” Long-time landlord Tong Liu said he had not realised how cold the
home was in winter time, and when Sustainability Trust advised of their findings in the home he jumped to action. In the last two months he has installed under-floor and ceiling insulation, a heat pump, ground vapour barrier, tracks over the windows so Tiriti could get curtains from the Wellington Curtain Bank, hot water cylinder wrapping and smoke alarms. “I really feel landlords should take responsibility and look after their tenants. It’s a moral issue,” Tong said. Do you think there should be minimum standards for all housing in New Zealand? Email the editor at herald@wsn.co.nz
Healthy Homes manager Miranda Struthers and Johnsonville landlord Tong Liu are proud to provide a tenant with a healthier home.

About 2000 people attended Karori West Normal School fair on Saturday, March 19 raising $32,000 for the school. The money will be used to buy school equipment, including for the playground. There was plenty of sunshine, candyfloss and energetic children at the event. “It’s been a great turn-out,” fair co-ordinator Alida Steemson said. Kids participated in events all day, including Karate and Zumba demonstrations, and best-dressed doll and teddy competitions. Many community groups were involved, including Civil Defence, the Fire Service, the community constable and the Karori Historical Society. Principal Janice Shramka said it was a brilliant day. “Thank you to all the Karori West community and everyone that attended.”

Your garage can be more than a place to park the car… it can be a home gym, office space, workshop, man cave or somewhere the kids can go on a rainy day. We specialise in turning garages into safe, warm, multi-purpose spaces with... GARAGE CARPET: Safe (no slipping!) quiet and comfortable to walk on, great for the kids to play on. Tough, durable and weatherproof. Won’t rot, smell or stain and reduces dust and dirt being tracked into the house. GARAGE DOOR INSULATION: If your garage door is not insulated, you only have a couple of millimetres separating you from the elements, it is a huge surface area of heat loss in winter and the reverse in summer.
We can retro fit your door with a blanket insulation. Ideal for metal sectional doors. Keep cold out. Keep warmth in! GARAGE CEILING INSULATION: Chances are your garage ceiling is also not insulated, and as with the door, another huge area of heat loss and gain. We can install insulation to the ceiling, making not only the garage warmer but also the house.

The meaning behind Easter Easter Sunday is celebrated all around the world with hot cross buns and chocolate easter eggs, with many going to look for eggs, left by an easter bunny. However, on Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate the resurrection of the lord, Jesus Christ. Christians believe, according to the Bible, that Jesus was raised from the dead three days after his death on the cross. The death of Jesus Christ is remembered on Good Friday; the Friday just before Easter. Through his death, burial and resurrection, Jesus paid the price for our sin so that all who believe in
him, may have a relationship with God, through Jesus, and eternal life with him.
Good Friday - Friday, 25th March
Traditional Easter Symbols Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny dates back to the paga n fest iva l which celebrated Easter, the Goddess of Offspring and Springtime. Her earthly symbol was the Rabbit, and given how quickly rabbits produce ‘offspring’, you can understand why!
Easter Monday - Monday, 28th March
Hot Cross Buns. Hot cross buns are a part of the Christian celebration, and are used to symbolize the cross on which Jesus was crucified.

Young conservationists train in OtariWilton’s Bush Children from seven schools descended on Otari-Wilton's Bush to become scientists, artists, rongoa Maori (traditional medicine) practitioners and conservationists on the March 14 and 15. 150 Students collected and planted native seeds, learned about Maori stories of the forest, conducted a health assessment of a local stream and created drawings to help Otari design its fernery gateway. The event was a joint initiative between Enviroschools and the Wellington City Council. Enviroschools facilitator Micheline Evans said many of the children who went on the day were sustainability leaders within their schools. “We wanted to provide rich experiences for them so they could go away and work out how to take action to support our native ecosystems.”

Eager students delved into the World of Maths during the educational roadshow which encouraged students to apply mathematics to the physical world. Junior Queen Margaret College students from years one to eight were put to the test with a series of problemsolving mathematics activities on March 7 and 8. Through the World of Maths young A solid mathematicians were tasked with a number of challenges designed to test a range of skills from the strands of number, space, measurement, chance and data, and logical thinking and sequencing. Year five student Jaskiran Rahi managed to solve a tricky puzzle called Which Block? She used different sized shapes to work out the total area without knowledge of the length or width. She said the problems were hard but fun and some of the stations were more difficult than others.

to engage with genuine mathematical problems in a kinaesthetic way. “Worksheets, books and digital resources are fine, but being able to touch and physically interact with a problem is an important experience. This is especially true of younger students, who were the main focus for the visit recently,” Paul said. He explained the ability to solve problems is a major part of learning mathematics and there can be a tendency to focus too much on exercises. “An exercise is an opportunity to practice a specific skill: the student is aware of the method needed, and the aim is just to practise its application. A problem is something where neither the answer nor the method needed to find an answer are obvious at the outset.” Paul organised World of Maths to visit the College in the hope the girls would enjoy interacting with genuine mathematical problems in a physical, collaborative and fun way. “I saw many doing just that, and View thegirls Wainuiomata News we are very happy with the way it went online www.wsn.co.nz overall.”

Family fun for football fans
By Sharnahea Wilson
Football fans had a family fun day on Sunday when they celebrated the launch of Northern Hills Football Pathway. The Pathway is the collaboration of all the major football organisations based in the northern suburbs. The launch of the Northern Hills Football Pathway was a great success according to organiser and Onslow College 1st XI Coach, Lance Goodwin. The initiative set up between five local clubs aims to provide youngsters with the tools and opportunities to improve their football and provide a pathway to play at the highest level
within their local community. “It's taken us a while to get here but we're extremely excited about the future of football in the North Wellington area. “We have a wealth of junior and senior football talent and we are now in a great position to retain that talent here and provide real opportunities to those that want to progress their football career," Lance said. The players were also treated to a guest appea rance by legendary Wellington Phoenix squad member Ben Sigmund. The Pathway was created to ensure players from all the Junior Clubs and Colleges are aware there is a football pathway available in their
neighbourhood once they go to college. Supporting the event was Packaworld head and local football enthusiast Pete Roberts who was busy showing off the latest inflatable goal technology. “We're delighted to support the launch. It's a great initiative and now there's no reason for our better players to move clubs to seek so called better opportunities. “As we've seen with the recent success of the North Wellington 1st Team, gaining promotion to Capital Premier division, our better players are staying within the community which can only be good for the area,” Pete said.

Johnsonville cricketers win Cooper Wakefield Cup
By Sharnahea Wilson
By Sharnahea Wilson
A bunch of lucky Onslow College rugby players got a taste of Victory on Monday when they had the chance to see the shiny gold Rugby World Cup trophy in the flesh. The Webb Ellis Cup, along with the Bledisloe Cup, was brought to the College at lunch time and students were given a brief overview of its history before getting the opportunity to take photos with it. The senior boys, junior boys and girls rugby teams lined up one by one to take ‘selfies’ with the cup which the All Blacks have now won twice in a row. Student and keen sportswoman Grace Errington said she has played rugby all her life and was stoked to get the chance to see the Webb Ellis Cup. Her fellow player Ranie Liua’ana was also excited about seeing the cup saying she had watched “every single game” in the tournament. “It’s pretty cool to see the cup in real life,” she said. Onslow Rugby Administrator Regan O’Neill said Onslow College is still developing as a rugby school. “We are keen to increase our talent pool and this kind of thing helps. “This is the first time we have had the cup here at Onslow College, it is pretty cool.”
The Johnsonville girls cricket team overpowered Hutt Districts team on Saturday, March 19 - taking home the Cooper Wakefield Cup. The competition at the Hutt Rec included girls’ teams from Upper Hutt, Hutt Districts, Wellington Collegians and the Johnsonville Cricket Club. The competition’s winning silverware is jointly named after Amanda Cooper and Megan Wakefield, both former Wellington Blaze players. Captain of the team Xara Jetly said winning the game was a big moment for her as leader of the team. “It was a huge deal, because I had to make the correct technical and difficult field placement
decisions that worked.” She said it was “awesome for the team” to bring home the cup “[It was] a huge breakthrough for the team, as [we] have not won for the last two years.” Vice-Captain Nikita Decruy was also stoked to win the game. “The whole team wanted to win the fi nal. We knew we could do it. Now there is a strong connection between the team,” she said. She said training every week and learning new skills made it possible to win the game. “The goal of that training was to try hard to succeed. In the finals, we worked as a team and got the result.” Xara agreed saying “Team bonding helped.”
