Students to give presents Continued from page 1 Wainuiomata High School will be giving over 40 shoeboxes this year, which will include one from each Manaaki (form) class as well as one from the Rangatahi Learning Centre and the school’s trade’s academy. Rutherford House Dean, Sarah O’Neill, said she had come up with the idea after seeing it appear on Facebook and thought she would give it a go. “I mentioned it to our captains who said they would like to do it too. It grew from there,” she said. Rutherford House Captain, year 13 student Eddie Trask said the school believed they were the only complete High School to be taking part in the project. “We were really excited to jump on board. It’s been pretty exciting going out and buying kids toys,” he said. “It’s cool that we’re giving to younger kids,” Rutherford House fellow Captain, Freesia Tuita added. Sarah said the students in their classes had been doing research to find out more about the schools and the children they would be giving to. “They discovered that a few of the children receiving gifts would go to a similar decile school and have a similar background and some of our own students,” she said. “We know the struggles. But you don’t have to have much to give much,” year 12 student Aviata Sa’u said. They said they hoped other schools would follow their lead and help out more next year. “For us it’s about showing our school values,” year 12 student Alex Faifailoa said. “Hopefully other schools see what we are doing and jump on board,” Apiata House Captain Aso Muaiava said.

Artist based work on time on the coast An overseas artist has created an exhibition based on her time at the Wainuiomata coast. Josette Chiang’s multimedia installation Coastline Paradox, which opened last Friday, was the result of a three-month Wellington residency which saw her discover the history of Turakirae head. Featuring video, sculpture, sound and text, Coastline Paradox explores 7000 years of tectonic uplifts at the Turakirae Head Scientific Reserve,
20 kilometres south of Wainuiomata, at the end of the Coast Road. The area has been a reserve since the 1970s and Josette worked her way through 100 years’ worth of written material and scientific reports during the course of her residency. Josette said Coastline Paradox was formed as part of an on-going investigation of coastlines beginning in Hong Kong. “I became curious about
coastal geography. It reminds me of the finitude of land and also that the coastline is where people, earth and water meet. I was thinking about the coastline as a navigational tool, territorial boundary, and representing nationhood and international exchange.” “I’ve been learning how important the coast is to New Zealand identity,” she said. “For me as an artist working here, it’s such rich territory, the coast is the subject of live
debate – both culturally and environmentally. I find I’ve become environmentally aware, almost by default.” Coastline Paradox will be running until Saturday, November 12 at the Toi Poneke Arts Centre, 61-69 Abel Smith Street, Wellington. There will be an artist talk on Saturday, October 29 at 1pm. For more information head to the Toi Poneke Arts Centre Facebook page.
