bradley’s quiz The fundraising quiz for rower Bradley Leydon was a riotous, sell-out success and mum Jil says they raised about $4000 to get him to the junior world champs.

Bradley, who is training at Lake Karapiro, put in an appearance by video, saying, ‘I may be rowing the single and the only one in the boat but I am not rowing alone down the course when I have you all behind me!’

matariki celebration For the first time this year Arrowtown Pre-School is inviting the wider community to help them celebrate the Maori new year at an evening of music, food and entertainment under the trees on the Library Green on Thursday 29 June.

Organiser Jon Brooks says the pre-school’s Matariki Night used to be held at the Durham St school. The children would sing outside with candles, then release lanterns and the whole group would eat together.

‘It became very popular because it is quite an atmospheric night and the kids look seriously cute,’ says Jon. ‘It was so popular last year that we ran out of room and it was clear the event could be something bigger than it was. So this year we've moved to the Library Green and opened it up further to the public.’

It’s promising to be a great night with kids singing, food stalls, hot chocolate and mulled wine under Arrowtown stars. The school kapa haka group will put on a display and Queenstown pop-folk singer Tessa Lyes will play. Marshmallows will be toasted and of course lanterns will be released.

The celebration will run from 5.30 to 7.30, and any funds raised will go to the community preschool. It is a cash-only event.

bowling season wraps Heather Stirling of the Arrowtown Bowling Club reports that the club has had a very busy season. She says that both divisions performed well in men’s pennants, with Division 1 finishing third and Division 2 second.

The club championships returned the following champions: • D Brash (ladies singles); R Howitt (men’s singles); G Hammond (men’s junior singles) • A Mason / D Jackson (ladies pairs); T Wooller / A Brash (men’s pairs) • D Jackson / J Willis / D Brash (ladies triples); L Stirling / T Wooller / A Brash (men’s triples) • B Menlove / D Jackson / J Egerton / J Heazlewood (ladies fours); I Macauley / B Roger / J Lindsay / A Brash (men’s fours).

silent film screening Non-members will have a rare chance to see a true classic on the big screen at Dorothy Browns as Queenstown Film Society welcomes the community to a screening of Fritz Lang’s Destiny.

The 1921 film by the legendary director of Metropolis and The Big Heat has recently had an eye-popping restoration and a new orchestral score. ‘The restoration has had rave reviews since it was released in 2015,’ says society president Alison Dench. ‘We’re lucky that with the support of the GoetheInstitut we’re able to open up the screening to everyone so more people will get to see it.’ Entry to the screening, which is at 8.15 pm on Tuesday 4 July, is by koha for non-members.

children contribute taoka Arrowtown’s kids are working with other schools and the Lakes District Museum to create an exhibition showcasing the rich heritage of the Wakatipu Basin through their own eyes.

Taoka Tuku Iho (which loosely translates as 'treasures passed down' or 'heirlooms') is a concept that starts with school students asking their families what their taoka is and goes from there as the children collect the family treasures for display or create scrapbooks. This style of exhibition has run around the world and numerous times in New Zealand, including at the museum in Arrowtown in 2007.

The museum’s education officer Anneliese Stephens is curating the exhibition with David Clarke and she says it promises to be eclectic. 'The exhibition is a great chance for schools from all over the district to collaborate rather than competing on the sports field!), engage in a community event, and celebrate the diverse backgrounds of the growing number of families who live here,' says Anneliese. 'In the last decade we have had new schools open and a generation of new children within them so we think it is time to see what our growing community treasures.'

The 2007 exhibition had items from numerous countries Montessori education for including a gun from the Russian children up to 6 years old revolution and a piece of the Berlin Wall.

One child named their twin brother 16 Wiltshire Street, Arrowtown Ph: 442 0032 as their taoka. ‘I wonder what he will be when he grows up?’ www.best-start.org 8

spelling comp triumph The Arrowtown Primary School team of Anna Hutchens, Sophie May and Dominic Smith bested 45 teams from 14 schools to win the year 7 and 8 section of the Otago Daily Times Extra! spelling quiz at Cromwell last week. The victory, with a score of 97 out of 100, came as a bit of a surprise to the team, who claimed not to have practised much.

'It was really exciting that we won and we definitely weren't expecting it,’ says Anna. 'The competition was very nerve wracking once they told us the results after three rounds and we were coming first!'
