Four ex-Wellingtonians have played a leading role in a achieving a great result for a group of indigenous students in the tiny Northern Territory of Wayede.
Principal John Young, secondary school head Matthew Spring, and teachers Anna Shaw and Rebecca Young have all taught or led schools in New Zealand’s capital.
The Australian town recently celebrated an achievement years in the making, when seven students from Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Thamarrurr College received their diplomas, the first to do so since a single student graduated in 2014.

Fun-n-gala time! Are you keen to plant natives?

Visit our stall at the Pauatahanui School Lamb & Calf Day on Saturday 7 November and we will swap your weed with a lovely native plant. We will have specimens of pest animals that are threatening our native species and will provide trapping demonstrations. Loads of fun for the kids! We will have a catchment model at our stall to play with to learn about sediment, streams, gullies and wetlands.

Find out how you can improve the health of our waterways in the Pauatahanui area and inlet. Your efforts can boost biodiversity and reduce sediment levels in our streams through erosion control and planting. Staff will be available to offer advice and help find out if your property could get funding assistance. See you there.

Fun and Frivolity
President Bill extended a very warm vote of thanks to Allan and Barbara (and their helpers) for organising and running the excellent evening to celebrate the running of the Melbourne Cup. The race was exciting although marred by the news that pre-race favourite, Anthony Van Dyck, had to be euthanised after tragically sustaining a fractured fetlock during the race.

Pictures often tell the story better than words, so here are a few moments captured during the evening. Apart from the drinking, chatting and watching, Allan did a wonderful job on the Chocolate Wheel.
