This is not really library related.
Just wanted to thank those of you who had replied to the survey "A review of public participation in the planning for and Mitigation of coastal erosion at Ahipara"
The survey is being conducted by Adelle Henderson (ex student) as a 30 credit research project for her Masters degree in Resource and Environmental Planning.
She needs at least 50 replies to make her research credible.
She has received 7.
The survey takes 15mins to complete and the survey website is : www.surveymonkey.com/s/ahiparasurvey., plus if you complete the survey you go in the draw for $100 pac n sav voucher.
This is your invitation to participate as it is vital for determining the level of community involvement in coastal hazard planning in Ahipara.
Thanks for your help

Information for all staff
End of 2010
Note: the school is open for instruction until Friday 10th December. To not be present in any of that time will require an application for leave and that will be considered under the conditions of the appropriate collective ie: you must be here to be paid!
All junior reports have been checked and signed. It is expected that they will be ready to hand out Tuesday after prizegiving. Any not collected will be labeled and handed into the office. Copies should have been handed in for filing. Markbooks and work for moderation should all be passed into HoDs for safekeeping especially for teachers who are leaving.

It may be that some students will be practising their music items for either Monday night or Tuesday morning. Normal duty rosters will apply.
The final newsletter for the year will be distributed to students. This contains important information about changes in times for Tuesday.
Monday night Senior prizegiving is a formal occasion. Staff dress formally as in jackets and ties and academic dress is encouraged. Staff assemble in the library at 7:00pm ready to enter the hall. The PPTA has specifically exempted prizegivings from their boycott.
A small group of staff are not on the stage as they have duties around organization and security. This team has been set in advance the security team being organized by Clarrie.
Expect the prizegiving to be long 2-3 hours.
This is the senior students and the publics evening.
Tuesday 7th December
Friday morning Staff briefing will be at 8:30. House Group at 8:50 will be much longer giving an opportunity to stack furniture and tidy up the classroom. At 9:10 there will be a short interval. All students are to be back in house group rooms by 9.30 where they will leave bags and jackets. Prizewinners will be released to the hall at 9.35 and then the rest of the students at 9.45. Lock doors. Students who are in incorrect uniform will not be attending prizegiving. Please escort these students to J6 where a staff member will be detailed to Supervise them. At this point Staff who have no part of the supervision team will be expected to assemble in the staffroom. Although not as formal as the senior prize-giving this is still the show piece for the junior school. –No shorts or sandals. Collars and ties a minimum
At the end of the prize giving Group teachers need to move quickly to their rooms to allow students to collect their gear and to hand out reports. Most students will now leave with either parents or by parental permission. Any who remain are now released to lunch. Please follow students out the door to avoid any silliness. Duty teams will operate as per usual. It is anticipated that few students will remain. At the end of lunch all students will meet in front of the Gymnasium where they will either be looked after or activities organized until 3:15.
Those staff wishing to attend the funeral for Beverley Bird at 1.00pm need to ensure that Maxeen has their names on Monday. All other staff are expected on site until 3.15 and to take responsibility for students remaining. Please – this is NOT party time.

Kia ora. My name is Hazel Owen, and I thank you for inviting me in to this vibrant community space, and encouraging me to have a look around.
I am based in Auckland (please don't hold that against me :-) ), but my heart is based on the Purerua Peninsula where my husband, John, and I have a 'bit of dirt'...and recently a shed that's big enough to sleep in.
