Urban forest project has unexpected delightful consquences
BODY:
Melbourne has long been regarded as Australia's garden city - but 13 years of drought has put paid to that. Severe water restrictions have left the citys urban forest in a state of decline and nearly 40% of trees are in decline or dying. So they came up with an idea. Each tree has been given its own email address and ID number on an interactive online map - the original intention was to help residents report tree decline, but instead people starting writing love emails to the trees.

Insight for 19 July 2015 - Top Teachers - Divided Schools
BODY:
John Gerritsen explores why the government's flagship scheme to improve education is dividing schools.
EXTENDED BODY:
Renwick School near Blenheim is among 222 schools that have signed up to the Government's $155 million a year plan for raising student achievement. But other schools are less enthusiastic.
Listen to Insight: Top Teachers - Divided Schools
The Investing in Educational Success or IES scheme puts schools into groups and pays some teachers and principals more to lead improvements.
Renwick School principal Simon Heath is keen on the plan. He says it is potentially the biggest change since 1989, when the Tomorrow's Schools initiative transformed the school sector.
"We see it as a massive opportunity to grow the quality of education that we're delivering to students across our region because it means that our very brightest and best teachers are able to influence right across the community."
Mr Heath says the Blenheim Community of Schools includes 21 schools, and though it has not yet begun it has already changed things.
"We've always thought about that five-year-old starting with us and us getting them ready for secondary school. Well, our mindset has changed now. Our mindset is when that child starts with our school, we now invest in them to get to NCEA level 3. So we are investing from five to 18 years and beyond."
Each group of schools has to identify common problems to work on. In Blenheim the schools will focus on raising achievement of the National Standards in reading, writing and maths from about 78-80 percent to 85 percent, and increasing NCEA achievement rates to 85 percent. It also wants to improve students' behaviour with fewer absences and late arrivals, and fewer stand-downs and suspensions.
But not everybody is on board.
Just two days before Radio New Zealand visited Blenheim, the board of trustees at Redwoodtown School in Blenheim decided to adopt a more cautious approach to the community of schools.
School principal Gary Hildyard says the school will wait and see if an alternative scheme the Educational Institute (NZEI) is negotiating is a better bet than Investing in Educational Success.

Mr Hildyard says he is not convinced the IES model is the best way to raise student achievement.
"We need to get at the chalkface with the students and put more support in with the students themselves. It may mean looking at smaller classes, it may mean more teacher aide time to provide another adult in the classroom, and that would give teachers more time to work with individual students.
"But I think it's far better than a top-down model of someone as a lead teacher coming in and telling teachers how to do something, especially if they are not from that school and don't understand exactly how that environment and that community works."
Principal of Campbell's Bay School in Auckland John McGowan, also has reservations about the IES.
He says the Education Ministry's insistence on a single principal holding the lead role is an Achilles' heel.
"It's not a terribly good model in the sense that it places huge burden on the principal leader and their school," he says.
Even so, Mr McGowan says he is in favour of the scheme because of the professional development it will provide for his staff.
But many primary school teachers and principals are opposed to the scheme.
The NZEI has refused to include the new teaching roles created by the IES in the primary school teachers' collective agreement.
However, it has not entirely shut the door on the Government's scheme. It is negotiating an alternative with the Education Ministry, and it is expected to share many of the original scheme's features, such as grouping schools together and providing extra pay for some teachers and principals.
President of the NZEI Louise Green says the alternative, known as the 'Joint Initiative', will include early childhood centres in its clusters and there will not be one principal in charge of each group.
"We've identified different types of leadership for different purposes and different people taking on different roles, so there isn't just one leader, there are multiple leaders."
The Ministry of Education's head of sector enablement and support, Katrina Casey, is confident the scheme will have a big impact because they will cover children's entire progress through the school system.
"It's not pepper-potting little bits of a journey. It's looking at the actual journey that kids in a particular community take. And it's also recognising great teachers and sharing practice."
Regardless of the precise details of the 'Joint Initiative', it appears every school in the country will soon be able to join a Government-funded cluster to tackle common problems and teachers will have access to a new career path.
The impact on the school system of those two interwoven strands could be profound.
But it could go a lot further.
Ms Casey says the basic approach of grouping schools together could lead to major changes.
"This really could be the biggest systems change that we've had, probably since Tomorrow's Schools, because we could potentially see quite a lot of scope for decision-making to occur at a communities level," she says.
"Anything now that requires decisions to be made across more than one school by and large has to be done at the ministry level and that really doesn't make sense when you think about it.
"So take, for example, decisions about schools and how many you have and where you have them and whether you open them or whether you close them - those sorts of decisions would be much better made across and within communities of schools than by the ministry."
She says she's speculating, but the suggestion that more decisions could and should be made locally has been a common theme from Education Ministry leaders in recent years.
And if it happens, the Government's initiative will go beyond simply raising children's achievement to revolutionising the entire school system - for better or for worse.

BODY:

EXTENDED BODY:
In the 1980s New Zealand took to neo-liberal orthodoxy with a vengeance. People were told that there would be pain before they would enjoy the gains of a dynamic new economy. It was an orthodoxy that celebrated the markets, profit and risk.
Law Professor Jane Kelsey says that in New Zealand deregulation went so far, and so fast, New Zealand became known as the Wild West of financial markets. The FIRE economy – that is finance, insurance and real estate – is now the principal source of wealth creation.
Scouring the records of data, surveys and commercial information over the years Kelsey has put together a forensic account of just why this is the case, and what it might mean for the future, and the alternatives.
She talks to Wallace Chapman about how New Zealand could be at the forefront of challenging neo-liberalism.
Jane Kelsey is Professor of Law at the University of Auckland, specialising in socio-legal studies, law and policy and international economic regulation.
Jane Kelsey's book The Fire Economy is published by Bridget Williams Books.

But others fear it will lead to the appointment of super-principals and destroy the autonomy of the country's 2500 schools. In this week's Insight, Radio New Zealand's education correspondent, John Gerritsen, talks to schools that have jumped into the scheme, and to the sceptics who won't have a bar of it.

EXTENDED BODY:

Mother Suzanne Aubert (1835 -1926) (Courtesy Sisters of Compassion Archives, Wellington)
Suzanne Aubert had piano lessons from Franz Liszt and nursing training with Florence Nightingale...

In 1860, Bishop Pompallier brought 25-year-old educated and feisty French woman Suzanne Aubert to the New Zealand Catholic Mission based in Auckland. For the next 40 years she taught and nursed in the North Island as well as founding the Sisters of Compassion. Aubert and her Sisters moved to Wellington in 1899 to begin charitable work among the urban poor.
Already regarded as a maverick and visionary, Mother Suzanne Aubert established a home for ‘incurables’ (a haven for the sick and infirm and those fallen on hard times) and a soup kitchen. Her canonization is currently under consideration in Rome. If the cause is successful she will be New Zealand’s first saint.
Suzanne Aubert also established a creche behind the Basin Reserve. In 1914, the original 1903 wooden crèche was replaced by a brick building designed by prominent ecclesiastical architect John Sydney Swan (also responsible for notable Wellington landmarks St Gerard’s Church and Erskine Chapel). This was New Zealand's first purpose-built child daycare centre.
Mother Suzanne Aubert was well ahead of her time and met resistance from the government and the public. A crèche was seen as encouraging working mothers to neglect their children and even promoting unmarried motherhood and divorce.
Spectrum’s Jack Perkins explores the newly-renovated crèche and its colourful history with heritage architect Alison Dangerfield.

The Future of Performance Design

EXTENDED BODY:
From fashion to costume design; film-making, art installation, music videos, and more. The Design for Stage and Screen course at Toi Whakaari: NZ Drama School is now in its tenth year and producing an array of talented graduates who are shining a light in all areas of design.
For Marina Davis, fashion wasn’t an obvious career path. The 29-year-old Auckland-based designer graduated from Toi Whakaari’s design school in 2009. She continued with further study and research at Massey University before launching her own fashion label two years ago. Taking the name Ovna Ovich from her Russian heritage, the label is sustainably-focused with a minimalist aesthetic.
“I sort of have a love hate relationship with [fashion] but I’ve got another agenda that I’m passionate about.”
It was primarily her dance background that drew her towards performance design—and naturally, costume—a way of looking at design from the basis of the body and movement: “I’m very much interested in creating work that talks about something, and it’s not just merely aesthetics. I really learnt how to portray meaning in a story [and] just having some concept integrity, is really what I gained from Performance Design,” she says.
Former graduate of the school, Emma Ransley is an award-winning costume designer who worked in the film industry for five years prior to taking up the role as a design tutor at Toi Whakaari’s Design school. Becoming an educator was always something that she wanted to do, and unlike the film industry, would also give her time to work on her own passion projects.
“The really successful students are the ones who can really understand the intention of other art forms and really interrogate what theatre and film is an art form. They have to really find their drive as an artist,” says Ransley.
Each year the school takes twelve students, consisting primarily of school leavers with a few mature students. This year the design school has two mature students—a former international fashion model, and a painter who have to come to the school to hone their artistic process. Ransley says the school isn’t necessarily interested in a glossy portfolio—although you need to show that you can draw—but more importantly, it’s about how you see the world, and a hunger for learning.
The school has produced graduates who are working on high profile television series, Game of Thrones, with at least half a dozen graduates following the big production companies around the world, with a large project shooting in Malaysia. It is testament, she says to the skills that the school equips the students with, but also the encouragement and support they provide to students which will help them to become self-sufficient in the arts industry, without having to rely on external companies.
Penny Fitt is the head of Design for Stage and Screen, and says that so much has changed since her day of working her way up the ranks as a resident designer for a number of theatre companies, which she did in the UK. She says traditionally designers wait to be invited onto projects, but the landscape has changed, and these students will also help to transform it.
“These students are making their own work. They’re making films—directing and writing them. They don’t need to be just the designer, in a sense. They’re artists, and they know how to make something from scratch.”
Recent graduate Rosie Remmerswaal is the perfect example of the kind of versatility that is possible. She has already dipped her toes into a wide variety of design-related projects including costume and set design, filmmaking, photography and installation. Shortly she will be working with esteemed costume designer, Kirsty Cameron, on a feature length film ‘The Rehearsal’—Eleanor Catton’s first book.
“A large part of getting that job was around the reputation that the design graduates have,” she says. She also cites the versatility, a focus on the social impacts of the work that they produce as being a benefit of having come through the school.
“Yeah, just being a conscious creator [that’s] something that I feel I’ve developed here, that I don’t think I would have developed otherwise.”
Penny Fitt is delighted at the range of creative projects and work that graduates produce. She is adamant that no other course like it existed in the country, prior. First and foremost she wanted to open people’s eyes to the fact that instead of being a set builder you could become a set designer, and instead of just sewing costumes you could become the designer.
“There is an art to how to work with a director and how to interpret text. You have to think in pictures to be a designer, I think."

Wellington owes a huge cultural debt to many of the Jewish refugees who made the city home after fleeing persecution last century. As the capital celebrates its 150th birthday, an exhibition remembers those artists and architects' contributions to the city. They brought a modernist sense of style to a very colonial Wellington, and their influence spread out around the country. The exhibition, Diaspora by Design: Jewish Refugee Architects and Wellington City, is produced by the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand in collaboration with the School of Architecture at Victoria University. Chloe Fitzpatrick has researched the Jewish artisans for the exhibition, with help of lecturer Daniele Abreu e Lima.

12:39 From Scotland With Love
Award-winning director Virginia Heath has been in the UK since she left New Zealand back in the seventies. She now lives in Edinburgh, splitting her time between lecturing at film school and making her own movies. From Scotland With Love, a collaboration with cult singer-songwriter King Creosote, was made to tie in with the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, but it's been over-taken by more recent events. The film is about to get its launch here in the New Zealand International Film Festival.

12:47 The Len Lye Centre
On time, on budget, and unlike any other building in the country, New Plymouth's dedicated Len Lye Centre opens next weekend. Locals have been able to see the 32-tonne stainless steel facade for a week, since the hoardings came down, but the interior remains a closely guarded secret. Andrew Mitchell is the project architect of the multi-million dollar project, which is anticipated will turn into a huge tourist drawcard for the region.

1:10 At the Movies with Simon Morris
Simon Morris looks at the recent burst of women-oriented films – including Far From The Madding Crowd, Inside Out, The Falling and Man Up. He also talks to a successful New Zealand cinematographer, who happens to be a woman – Ginny Loane.
1:34 Edinburgh Fringe Festival
Forward planning is always a good idea and a bunch of New Zealand creatives wanting to take on the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2016 are heading to the city to start working with venue managers and other key players. Creative New Zealand is happy to fund the trip - they're keen to build on the high profile New Zealand enjoyed there last year. Kitan Petkovski is one of those with plans for next year who’ll be in Edinburgh. He's an independent producer with Auckland's Bullet Heart Club. You also hear from the company’s playwright Rochelle Bright.

TV3's new drama Westside came to a close two weeks ago. It was set in the 1970s, with each episode based in a year from 1974 to 1979. But what was really on our TV screens back in the decade of flairs and fondues? NZ On Screen Content Director Irene Gardiner takes a look back at what the Wests would have been watching on their TV screens.

From fashion to costume design; film-making, art installation, music videos, and more. The Design for Stage and Screen course at Toi Whakaari: NZ Drama School is now in its tenth year and producing an array of talented graduates who are shining a light in all areas of design.
For Marina Davis, fashion wasn’t an obvious career path. The 29-year-old Auckland-based designer graduated from Toi Whakaari’s design school in 2009. She continued with further study and research at Massey University before launching her own fashion label two years ago. Taking the name Ovna Ovich from her Russian heritage, the label is sustainably-focused with a minimalist aesthetic.

Sir George Grey Special Collections – Religious treasures from Auckland City Libraries

Exploring the special collections of the Auckland City Libraries, and some of the religious treasures that lie within it.

By the choice of the materials which we place in this Library, we can bring persons from every part of the earth to drink at sources of knowledge, which they can obtain in no other place.

– Sir George Grey
Sir George Grey will be familiar to many New Zealanders as a leading political figure during much of the 19th century European settlement of New Zealand. Twice Governor of this country, he was also an explorer, linguist, solider, writer and philanthropist. While politics left Grey little time to devote to his hobbies, he did manage to amass impressive collections of books and manuscripts over his lifetime.
In 1887 he donated 8,000 volumes to Auckland Public Library. This remarkable gift and subsequent additions to it have made Auckland City Libraries the location of one of New Zealand’s three major heritage collections. The Sir George Grey Special Collections: Tā Hori Kerei - Ngā kohinga taonga whakahirahira now boasts 80-thousand books alone. Later benefactors helped enhance and build upon Grey’s substantial donation.
A key figure was commercial accountant Henry Shaw. By the time of his death in 1928 at the age of 78, he had given the library some 2,300 volumes. Unlike Grey, however, Shaw collected for aesthetic rather than linguistic reasons. A lifelong bibliophile, Shaw wrote: ‘Any man, who is a real lover of books, is bound to spend a lot of time amongst his collections; he cannot help himself, he is drawn to them as with a magnet, and becomes as it were their slave’.
And while he’s been described as hardly an enterprising collector, he had vision enough to secure books that he understood to be significant and desirable, such a two-hundred-year-old ‘golden’ Koran which has recently been the subject of research by Dr Zain Ali, the head of Islamic studies at the University of Auckland.
While both men collected widely, they also understood the significance of collecting religious tomes, including a number of rare manuscripts and bibles. Amongst the treasures are two monumental volumes of a fifteenth century Latin Bible from the Netherlands, a Great Bible of Henry VIII dating from 1541, and a Geneva Bible published in 1560, early in the reign of Elizabeth I.
Lisa Thompson explores the special collections of the Auckland City Libraries, and some of the religious treasures that lie within it.

While these priceless tomes are kept under special conditions at Auckland Central Library, librarians looking after the collections are only too happy to help members of the public and researchers view them. Regular exhibitions of heritage materials are also held. Allison Dobbie, Group Manager – Libraries, says while it’s a balancing act between preservation and accessibility, the following must ultimately be remembered, “…what Grey and the other donors wanted above all was for the treasures they bestowed to be seen”.

EXTENDED BODY:
In the final episode of Manu Tioriori, a series about Māori musicians, Narelle and Ellison Huata talk about the work and invaluable teachings of their father Tama Huata (1950 - 2015).

Narelle Huata works as the Chief Executive Officer of Te Wānanga Whare Tapere o Takitimu, the performing arts school established in Hastings in 1983.
Ellison Huata spent ten years in Canada in the early stages of taking Kahurangi Māori Dance Theatre to the world, today she runs the organisation, and she is at the helm of the 2015 Waiata Māori Music Awards. The sisters share their perspectives on their father, his invaluable lessons and the future ahead.
Tama Huata grew up in Rotorua, his father Canon Wi Te Tau Huata was an Anglican Māori Minister who at the time of Tama's birth, was based at a church in Te Ngae, Rotorua. Tama would witness his father carry out karakia and waiata to his congregation which would be his first glimpse into traditional Māori performing arts.
From Rotorua the family moved to Hamilton and Tama and his brothers would attend Southwell School in Hamilton. In a 2012 archival interview with Justine Murray he recalled,"there were only five māori boys". From Hamilton, he headed to St Stephens (Hato Tipene) Māori Boys Boarding School. He again joked "there were five pākeha boys at that school". He encountered Opera at Southwell School, and Kapahaka at Tipene.
After a stint at Air New Zealand, In the 1960's Tama Huata headed to Australia where he would soak up the Māori showband scene in Sydney. At the height of his career his band would play up to 14 shows a week. He learned as much as he could from a production entrepreneur at the time, Reg Grundy, starting as his chauffeur and moving into stage work and production.
After more than a decade with a young family in tow, Tama moved back to Aotearoa, and set about creating a traditional Māori performing arts community in Hastings. The Takitimu Performing Arts School was established in 1983, and shortly thereafter The Kahurangi Māori Dance Theatre.
Over the three decades before his passing in February 2015, Tama Huata worked tirelessly on a number of projects. In 2006 he was awarded a New Zealand Order of Merit for services to the arts, and in 2012 he was a recipient of Te Tohu Toi Kē - Making a Difference to the Arts, hosted by Te Waka Toi (Creative New Zealand).
In 2007 he created the Waiata Maori Music Awards, an event where contemporary and traditional Māori artists could be recognised for their work.
Tama Huata passed away at his home near Napier and laid to rest at Whenuakura Urupa in Pakipaki.
At this year's Te Matatini Festival in Christchurch many Takitimu Waka affiliated culture groups paid tribute to him in their waiata compositions. The 2015 Waiata Maori Music Awards will be held in his honour.

9:42 Marcus Riske - An Educator's Story.
Extracts from a 1981 interview with Jack Shallcrass.
On ANZAC Day after the war, war hero and Wellington College Old Boy Bernard Freyberg came to speak to the school. He describes the reaction of the school when their hero began to cry during his address to the school assembly, telling them about the death of his brother and friends in the war.
He says he learnt to teach from the handful of incredible teachers he had.
He had to move to Palmerston North Boys' High School because his father moved again. His father wanted him to go into law but he decided to go teaching. He describes some of the teachers who influenced him as a student teacher. He says the important thing in teaching is to discover what a child is capable of and get them to do it really well, not to find what they can't do. You have to take each child as an individual.
He recalls Wellington Technical College as being the best school he taught at. He is critical of the system of examinations used now. He talks about his mentors at Wellington Teachers Training College: Fanny Irvine-Smith, May Joyce, William Horatio Gould, John Adams, and recalls lecturers at
Victoria University College: Tommy Hunter, Ivan Sutherland and Professor Tennant. He says he has nightmares still about children he taught but was not able to help.
He speaks at length of his time at Wellington Technical College. It was great because of the men who ran it; William La Trobe, John Howell and Randolph Ridling. He started teaching there in 1945, the first year it was compulsory to stay at school until the age of fifteen. He says he was given as many recalcitrant fourth formers as possible. He had to teach statistics and English. He retells the story of one of the naughtiest pupils he ever taught who eventually became a military officer. He says 'Wellington Tech' was regarded as anathema at the time because it was co-educational. He describes the impact of reading the classics to poor kids.
He says Randolph Ridling wrote a report to establish a Polytechnic in Wellington and quit teaching when it was turned down by the Education Department. He is scathing of Directors of Education, apart from two.
He got a Fulbright Scholarship to the University of Illinois to study mathematics education and wrote a report, but says it did a 'fat lot of good'. 12'55"

Bollywood: Every Bollywood movie has songs - it's basically the pop music of India. And Bollywood wouldn't be Bollywood without all those songs. The Bollywood tradition is relatively recent, but it comes from deep cultural roots: the song and dance that have permeated the culture of the Indian Subcontinent for hundreds of years. And yet Bollywood composers also shamelessly copy from all musical styles. So it's kind of like a mix of music styles from around the world - the most global music there is. And best of all, it's infectious, it's festive and, well, it just makes the world a better, happier place. This documentary takes you on a journey through the history of Bollywood music featuring classic songs and recent hits along with interviews with comedian Russell Peters, filmmaker Deepa Mehta (Water, Bollywood/Hollywood), Bollywood choreographer and dance sensation Shiamak Davar and Ameen Merchant, author of The Silent Raga, among others (1 of 2, CBC)
