SpeedlimitsBuses and Parking major problem for child care centres

By Aaron Meredith

Speeding buses and a lack of parking are two of the problems facing teachers, parents and children in early childhood centres in Wainuiomata.

There is little to no road signs outside of many centres in the valley warning drivers to slow down.

Jack and Jill Kindergarten has been fi ghting with New Zealand Buses for many years, fi nally asking Hutt South MP Trevor

Mallard for help.It is only since he got involved

the bus company has responded.The kindergarten has two signs

warning drivers of the centre, but these were only put up after a child was hit by a car a few years back.

“It is only a matter of time before someone gets hit again.” says head teacher Chris Moses.

“I understand the drivers are on a schedule, but they are going so fast.”

Wainuiomata Intermediate School has become one of the fi rst in the country to sign a new charter guaranteeing a fair go for newly graduated primary teachers.

The Beginning Teachers Charter was developed by the New Zealand Education Institute Te Riu Roa last year due to Ministry of Education concerns only 15 per cent of new graduates were getting permanent teaching positions.

Wainuiomata High School’s top athletes were recognised for their achievements throughout the year at last week’s sports awards.

Awards were handed out to ath-letes in all sports, many of whom have represented Wellington and New Zealand.

Sportsman of the year was given to Raymond Seumanu for his achievements in boxing, winning multiple national titles as well as the Australian Golden Gloves.

He became one of the youngest winners of the award.

The sportswomen of the year award was awarded to Sieni Samau for her achievements in a wide range of sports.

Sieni was also the top player in volleyball, girls rugby, was the top scorer in football, was the best back in league, played for Wainuiomata in club rugby and league, going on to represent Wellington in both sports.

On top of that Sieni was also selected for the New Zealand rugby league Kiwi Ferns side to play Australia next year

The MC, Phillip Kauika who

says that the school has achieved to a high standard this year in all sports.

“Many teams have made fi nals, won championships or have represented the school at regional tournaments.”

Teams who won their grades included the girls cricket team, the football fi rst XI, teams two and three in netball, the boys fi rst xv in rugby and the junior boys league team.

This year was also the fi rst year that Ignite Sports presented two special awards, both recognising character in an athlete and coach.

Trust co-ordinator Kevin Goldsbury says that the awards are given to those that embodied Ignite Sport’s values.

“Despite the attention that poor behaviour and bad sportsman-ship attracts, there are great examples of athletes who demon-strate positive character in sport and coaches who effectively model it,” Kevin says.

This year’s winners were Paa Mailangi who won the character athlete award and Ngaire Blake who won the character coach award.

Both showed great passion for

Sporting achievements recognised

their sports and teams, helping their teams achieve their best.

Kalena Hura was also recog-nised by the school, receiving the principals award after 20 years’ service to school netball.

Other award winners were Stephen Graham, Joel Carman, Atiria Semmens, Jade Hum-

phrey and Brooke Tauaneai.School Principal Martin Isberg

says he was not surprised by the achievements of the students this year.

“We have spent the last three or four years changing the culture of the school, and the results this year are recognition of this.”

One sure sign of summer arriving is the call of the shin-ing cuckoo, a series of upward notes followed by one or more long downward slurring notes. The birds have come back to New Zealand to breed after wintering over in the Solomon Islands. They can be heard calling from forest, scrub and farmland, which are also the habitats of their host birds, the grey warbler. Like cuckoos around the world the shining cuckoo lays its eggs in another bird’s nest.

Also called the bronze shining cuckoo, scientifi c name Chryso-coccyx lucidas, or in Maori the Pipi�Wharauroa, this sparrow-sized bird is usually not seen due to its cryptic markings and its size. It’s New Zealand’s only iridescent green bird and has green and white bands across its chest. The shining cuckoo lives on grubs and insects, including hairy caterpillars and ladybirds that other birds avoid.

It lays a single egg in the nest of a laying grey warbler, and the chick when it hatches ejects

the warbler eggs and chicks. The host then seems not to notice it’s parenting another species and continues to raise the chick. Fortunately for the grey warbler species, it has usually already raised a brood in August/September before the cuckoo arrives back in New Zealand.

A few years ago we heard a sound from the bush that could have been a bird or an insect, but even with the neighbours’ help we couldn’t fi nd what it was coming from. One day

however, I heard it in the beech tree outside the window, and looked out to see the cuckoo chick flitting from branch to twig noisily demanding food from a smaller and very busy grey warbler.

The two major threats to the shining cuckoo are fl ying into windows and being taken by cats. You can hear its call and learn more about it here. www.radionz.co.nz/nation-al/programmes/thiswayup/collections/birdwatching/shiningcuckoo

Parkway Park will be get-ting a revamp and locals get to have a say on what may go in it.

The park’s under 5s play area has received Hutt City Council funding to be revamped in the coming months.

Submissions are currently open to the public to have their say on what the new play area may contain.

Hutt City Councillor Camp-bell Barry said he was happy funding had fi nally been given to the park.

“I’m really glad that we’ve got to the point where the

playground will be revamped and that kids and parents will get to have their say,” he said.

Mr Barry said the main concept behind the new play-ground would be to utilise the “natural environment”.

He said some staples of the existing playground, including the tractor, would be staying.

The new park is currently set to open later this year.

Submissions can be made to the Hutt City Council via email to [email protected] or posted to Hutt City Council, Private Bag 31912, Lower Hutt 5040. Submissions must be made by 5pm Friday June 10.

Continued from page 1The charter guarantees any

beginning teachers a school employs will receive the induc-tion and mentoring support they are entitled to.

Schools which sign the charter also commit to never employing new or beginning teachers on a trial or otherwise illegal fi xed-term basis.

Wainuiomata Intermediate School principal, Pearl Murti, signed the charter last Wednes-day.

The school currently employs three provisionally certifi cated teachers, Nicole Rodgers, Matt Gibbons and Karen Van Ars-dale. Both teachers acknowl-edged how hard it was to fi nd employment as beginning teachers.

Nicole, who worked in mar-keting for 13 years before trans-ferring her skills to teaching said fi nding a job, was “tough”.

“I was probably one of the lucky ones,” she said.

Matt said he applied for the role at the intermediate after doing some of his teaching placement at the school.

“I knew I’d get the support. I’ve got a great mentor, I get all the release time. I feel like I’m in the right place,” he said.

Pearl said the charter was especially important as it ben-efi tted the new teachers and the children they taught.

“It’s good for our school and good for the kids,” she said. For more information on the charter head to www.nzei.org.nz Matt and Nicole in the sta� room after the signing

The Futures Programme has something to celebrate after being given some new uniforms.

The programme is a group of Wainuiomata High School

students who gather every Tuesday and Thursday morn-ing during the school term to practice league, talk about life skills, do school work and have breakfast.

The programme has been running for 10 years.

Bill Sharp, the group’s leader, said the uniforms were do-nated to the programme by Canterbury last month.

He said the boys were “good kids” and he was grateful for the support he had from the community.

A new housing development is on the cards for Wise Street as Hutt City Council moves plans forward to grow the population of Wainuiomata.

The work will upgrade a 250 metre section of existing road at the end of Wise Street and could service up to 90 new houses.

As part of this work the main sewer in Upper Fitzherbert Road will also be extended and the stormwater system for the local area will be improved.

Lower Hutt Mayor, Ray Wallace,

who visited the Wise Street site with other council offi cials last Friday, said this was something locals to the area had requested.

He said the upgrade on Wise Street could eventually lead to the street connecting to Upper Fitzherbert Road or Wellington Road, however, there were no current plans for this.

Council said while some residents of Wise Street had expressed disap-pointment at becoming part of a more urban area, Wise Street was not marked as part of the rural sector.

“We have been very upfront with the community,” Mr Wallace said.

The extension to Wise Street comes

as part of Hutt City Council’s urban growth strategy which aims to grow population and homes throughout Lower Hutt.

“Wainuiomata is now being seen as a very popular place to build brand new homes for families,” Mr Wallace said.

Deputy Mayor David Bassett agreed.

“It’s very positive. Wainui’s got good facilities for families,” he said.

Work on Wise Street is expected to be fi nished by August. Do you think Wainuiomata is a good place to develop houses? Let us know at [email protected]

Wainuiomata youth will have the opportunity to learn to water colour thanks to the generosity of Petone watercolour artist and owner of Artspace Gallery, Alfred Memelink.

Alfred said he was inspired to run the free workshop after meeting with Hutt City Councilor Margaret Willard and hearing about her pas-sion for Wainuiomata, its young people and for art in the community.

Alfred said ever since he first experienced the thrill of completing his first water-colour painting he’s wanted to share the pleasure and experience he’s gained from many years of practice with the medium.

His Petone gallery features predominantly Wellington and New Zealand artists.

“Many paintings depict favourite places around Wel-l ington that visitors rec-ognise and love, including work by a talented Wainui artist, Paul Johansen,” Al-fred said.

“[Paul] has several superb oil paintings in the gallery featuring his favourite spots

in Wainui, including the old Coast Road barn that fell over in the big storm.”

The old Coast Road barn will be the subject for the free youth workshop catered for up to 12, 13 to 18-year-olds.

Alfred said the barn could either be pre-drawn so the lesson becomes a colouring in with watercolours experi-ence, or at tendees could draw it themselves at the workshop.

Ms Willard said she was appreciat ive of both the gallery and Alfred’s will-ingness to help local young people.

“Alfred has a great com-munity spirit and works with organisations and people to advance art in our com-munity and the city and his gallery is an asset for us all to enjoy.”

Co u r s e w i l l r u n f r o m 1pm-3pm on Sunday June 12 at the Alfred Memelink Artspace Gallery, 223 the Esplanade, Petone. Contact Margaret Willard on 973 1378 or Artspace Gallery on 04 9799889 to book.

High School students had the chance to enter the dragon’s den at a special event held last week.

The ‘Dragon’s Den’ is held as part of the Lion Foun-dation Young Enterprise Scheme as an opportunity for students to present their business ideas to a panel of judges.

Wainuiomata High School had 12 teams of year 12 and

13 students enter the ‘Drag-on’s Den’ last Wednesday.

The teams had fi ve minutes to pitch their business ideas to the judges of the panel.

Business ventures ranged from beeswax hair product to candles to everything in between.

Teacher, Simon Croft, said it was the first time the school had been involved with Young Enterprise to this scale.

“We’ve got some of our

top students here wanting to do this. Some of [the ideas] were brilliant. They’re all really cool kids,” he said.

Member of the Candle Club, Pearl Philavong, said her group made the candles and scents themselves.

“We just hope that the judges see that our com-pany’s as good as we know it is,” she said.

Following this round, eight of the 12 teams will be chosen for a regional heat.

Business ideas boom in school

The teams celebrate the end of the day with the judges.

It will start at Queen Street and go through Wainuiomata before heading to the summit of Wainuiomata Hill, over the Pukeatua footbridge, and back again.

There are plenty of spot prizes to be won and special prizes for the best costume.

Serious runners can win cash if they’re fi rst female or male home.

Community members had the opportu-nity to bring their wildest dreams to life last Sunday at Wainuiomata’s fi rst chalk competition.

Hosts Campbell Barry and Josh Briggs told the Wainuiomata News earlier in the week the Chalk Wainuiomata competi-tion was held to utilise areas throughout Wainuiomata and to bring neighbours together.

Over 60 people took part in the afternoon competition at the main location of Petrie Street and there were approximately 15

other locations involved across the valley.Creations on the day included a circus,

dragons, butterfl ies, a maze and a spider web.

Hutt City Councillor, Campbell Barry, said the afternoon was “fantastic”.

“The most amazing part was seeing kids, teenagers and adults interacting together,” he said.

He said he was grateful to the judges who had a tough job deciding on the fi ve winners across Wainuiomata as many creations were great.

“I was thankful I wasn’t a judge,” he said.

Staff say yes to fl u jab By Emma McAuliff e

Warehouse Wainuiomata staff had their flu immunisation in-jections last week and they are encouraging other locals to do the same.

Kokiri Health and Social ser-vices arrived at the Warehouse Wainuiomata to give staff their fl u shots last Wednesday.

Kokiri nurse, Francess-Lindah Whaanga, said Kokiri was a nurse led clinic.

She said part of Kokiri’s service was to provide to the community of Wainuiomata.

Warehouse Wainuiomata service team leader, Crissiemarie Light-foot, said around half the staff at the Warehouse would eventually get their fl u shot and was grateful to Kokiri for making it easy for them by coming to the store.

“They do so much for the com-munity,” Crissiemarie said.

Some of the 18 staff members

who received the shot on Wednes-day said it was “all good”.

“It was pretty easy. Not too bad,” said staff member Menine.

This was the fi rst time the Ware-house had their shots as a staff group.

Crissiemarie said she thought other local businesses around the valley could benefi t from the same.

Francess said they gave f lu shots between March and July to people between 35 months and 65-years-old.

“Some people don’t know they’re eligible,” she said.

Students from across the Hutt Valley had the chance to show off their civil defence skills at the fi nal of a three part chal-lenge held last Monday at the old Wainuiomata College.

Ten secondary schools from the Hutt Valley took part in the Secondary Schools Response Programme hosted by the Devereax- Blume emergency management training and Wel-lington Region Emergency Management.

The programme has been running for 41 years and aims to teach young people skills in civil defence for emergency management.

It has been held at Wainuio-mata College on Moohan Street

for thirteen years as the former school had rubble, hills and other hazards students could learn to operate rescue move-ments around.

Last Monday was the third day in the programme when the students were assessed on the skills they had learned.

Programme coordinator Cin-dy Mellor said many students who had taken part in the challenge had gone on to assist in civil defence areas.

“[They] are taught leadership skills. They become leaders amongst their peers and they have fun while they do it,” she said.

One student in attendance at the course was involved in the volunteer fi re brigade, she said.

Harrison Nicol, a previous

Upper Hut College student took part in the challenge several times whilst at High School and returned as a trainer this year.

He said he had wanted to become a teacher anyway and this way he could help people learn specifi c skills.

“I’m teaching the next genera-tion of rescuers,” he said.

Janice Laurenson from De-vereaux-Blume said as well as gaining NCEA credits, students had the opportunity to win a prize.

The Challenge Shield is awarded to the team with the best technical skills and the Spirit Cup for the best team spirit, she said.

She said the prizes would be awarded at the official prize giving in June.

Hutt City Council will be discussing the Local Alcohol Policy at a regular meeting this Tuesday.

If accepted by council the policy would set the trading hours of on and off licences around the Hutt Valley.

It could also reconsider the amount of liquor outlets in some areas, including Wai-nuiomata, Stokes Valley and Naenae.

Lower Hutt Mayor, Ray Wallace, said the council had two options when it came to

reviewing the Local Alcohol Policy, fi rst consulted in 2013.

He said the fi rst option would be to “totally reject it” and the second would be to accept the policy and put it into place within three months.

He said the first option would be inadvisable as it would “start the whole process again”.

Mr Wallace said the other recommendation would be to “instruct offi cers to re-consult the community”.

He said it was important to have further discussions with community as times

had changed since 2013 and views had changed within community and council about how many off licences were suitable in some areas.

Fernlea Primary School got a little bit scary last week, holding a spooky disco to raise money for the school.

Students dressed up as ghosts and gob-

lins, staff at the school say the costumes were some of the best they have ever seen.

In this photo, teacher Anthony Kleinjan and students Ruby Keomary, Sophie Neary, Lily Carr and Prashvi Shankar show off their costumes.

Sport Wainuiomata Inc will be host-ing three family tournaments over the next few months.

The group is after social teams who want to have fun in a mixed grade.

The fi rst tournament is indoor vol-leyball and will be hosted on Monday June 6 on Queen’s Birthday.

This will be followed by a basketball tournament on Saturday, September 17 and a touch tournament on Saturday,

October 22. All events will be held at the Wai-

nuiomata High School auditorium.A maximum of eight teams will be

allowed in to each event with entries closing a week before the event takes place.

As the New Zealand Super Rugby franchises continue to smash all before them, here are some burning topics around the fi rst All Blacks squad of the year for the June series against Wales next month.

Chiefs fullback Damian McKenzie has to be in the mix.

He's been the breakout star of the competition so far but what role will he play in the three test series against Wales next month?

For me, he starts on the bench though with Nehe Milner-Skudder injured I think the chance of McKenzie starting at fullback and Ben Smith shifting to the right wing is likely.

Despite the defection of midfi eld duo Ma'a Nonu and Conrad Smith, New Zealand still has plenty of options but which one suits?

Understudy centre Malakai Fekitoa deserves the start in the 13 jersey but do you go with the Crusaders' Ryan Crotty or the impressive Charlie Ngatai? I believe All Blacks coach Steve Hansen

will go with who he knows initially in Crotty but Ngatai deserves game time on his current form.

With Milner-Skudder out, it resem-bles a wingers spot up for grabs.

Front runner is Waisake Naholo who returned for the Highlanders after an injury and scored two tries against the Chiefs.

Others in the mix include his team-mate Patrick Osbourne and the Chiefs' James Lowe.

The loose forward mix will be interesting especially the back up No 7 to Sam Cane.

The Crusaders' Matt Todd would be a fi ne choice and Jordan Taufua has been great in the six jersey alongside Todd and All Blacks captain Kieran Read.

Traditionally there haven't been many bolters in recent seasons and even though this is the fi rst squad since the World Cup, with a British Lions tour to New Zealand next year, I'd expect Hansen and Co to stick with those they know for a little longer yet.

Team tournaments coming up

The Wainuiomata hockey club had a great weekend with four convinc-ing wins.

The Premier 3 team travelled to Kapiti to play their last game in the grading round.

From the beginning of the game Wainuiomata dominated possession and were up by three goals very quickly.

The 5-1 win moves the team to the promotion game this Sunday.

The goal scorers were Jo Martin, Kirsten O'Donnell, Paris Coleman and Mele Kupa.

The Reserve 3 team celebrated

with their first win on Sunday with a commanding 4-0 win over Kapiti.

The goal scorers were Chase Fos-ter, Siobhan Fa'alogo and Sharron Handscomb.

The Wainuiomata High School team had a huge win on Friday night beating Wellington Girls 12-0.

The junior year 7 to 8 team have started their season and came away with a 12-0 win against Queen Margaret College.

The player of the day was Pacey Johnson who was strong on both attack and defence.

Wainuiomata Harriers had their annual Novice and Presidents' Trophy races last Saturday.

The club started at their clubrooms at Richard Prouse Park then headed through bush tracks, up the river bank and back to the club rooms via Moores Valley Road Hill.

The race was a handicap race, which means runners and walkers start at differ-ent times, based on their current fi tness and racing levels.

The Presidents' Trophy is won by the fi rst

person home in the senior event and the Novice Trophy is taken by the fi rst person across the line who has never won a trophy in the Club.

This year Don McGowan took out the senior race just ahead of Faye Brown, who he had to chase over the 7.5km course.

Brendan McCauley took out the walking section more than two minutes ahead of his nearest rival, Robbie Hannan. Full results are available on the Wai-nuiomata Harriers website or Facebook page.

Wainuiomata junior tennis ended their season at the beginning of the month with a prize giving celebrating their successful summer.

Wainuiomata junior convener, Julie Day, said the club had a great season with approximately 100 junior members playing on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

“We had another awesome season of junior tennis with awesome coaching,”

she said. There were 56 awards given at the prize

giving, with 21 of those being cups.Notable mentions of the night included

club member, Elesha Smith, who took out seven categories and Katie Spicer, who was awarded most valuable club member.

Junior tennis starts back up in term four. There will be an open day in September for juniors and families to register interest and have a go.
