KIWI #8 WIRE THINKING

Turning Challenges into Opportunities

As tradition goes, the phrase ‘Number 8 Wire‘ came to fruition in New Zealand to represent the can-do attitude, ingenuity and resourcefulness of kiwis. We have a number 8 wire mentality that we can repair or create something out of scrap or whatever is available at the time. This mentality is rooted deep in the kiwi psyche. It is our ‘we can do it, no matter what we are given’ mentality.

In the beginning…

Today we think nothing of travelling to a new country, just jump on a plane and you can go anywhere in the world in only a few hours. But imagine if you lived thousands of years ago, and the only way to travel was a double hulled waka.

Question

Do now you know the incredible story of how Polynesians explored the Pacific. But do you think your parents have heard it? Or your grandparents?

Hidden History

Kia ora, my name is Ian Taylor. My ancestors were part of the greatest human adventure story of all time – and I’d never heard it before! I don’t want my grandchildren only hearing the story when they turn 70, so I made them this message…https://youtu.be/jgV3rugWfhg

The Tautai ole Moana – Strengthening the capability of Principals to improve outcomes for Pasifika Learners programme is aimed at creating opportunities for Pasifika learners through strengthening their school leadership.

National coordinator Helen Varney says the programme, spearheaded by the New Zealand Pasifika Principals Association, the New Zealand Principals Association and the Ministry of Education, was designed to improve outcomes for Pasifika learners.

“To be able to do that, their leadership has to have a connection with them. What we are trying to do is really around strengthening leadership capabilities in a way that improves outcomes for our Pasifika learners,” she said.

“For whatever reasons, and there are many different ones, Pasifika learners have not fared will. Some have done amazingly well, but the majority haven’t. We want to change that through leadership.”

Te Tii Waitangi marae is located to the north of Paihia, next to the Waitangi River mouth in the Bay of Islands. It is the only marae in Waitangi. The principal hāpu are Ngāti Rahiri and Ngāti Kawa, who have strong affiliations to Oromahoe marae and belong to the Ngāpuhi confederation.

The wharenui, named Te Tiriti o Waitangi, was opened in 1922, replacing the original 1881 building; the wharekai is Te Ngakau Aroha. Te Tii Waitangi marae was originally a nikau building and the first parliament of the tribes of Ngapuhi, well before the opening of the 1881 building.

The adjacent land is where He Wakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga (Declaration of the Independence of New Zealand) was signed on 28 October 1835. Five years later, 300 chiefs sat on the same spot to debate Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi), and signed it on 6 February 1840 across the present-day bridge at the home of the British Resident James Busby, now known as the Waitangi National Trust.

Te Tii Waitangi links to the inland mountain pa of Pouerua, and claims descent from the waka Ngātokimatawhaorua.

She works as a Principal Adviser in the Ministry of Education’s Pathways and Transitions team and is also involved in some local and international inclusive practice projects. For the last fifteen years Chrissie has been exploring how the design framework Universal Design for Learning can contribute to equity in education in Aotearoa.

The value of Universal Design for Learning in Aotearoa.
Changing what we do to increase inclusivity in our learning communities doesn’t happen by accident. Universal Design for Learning is something that can help. Let’s find out why.

I BELIEVE THAT ADVERSITY IS THE CATALYST OF GROWTH

It’s when the chips are down, when we are facing hardship and challenge, that we have the opportunity to become more than we could have otherwise. I believe that we don’t want to settle for the average or below version of ourselves, that we are instead driven to strive towards our potential and that the sense of satisfaction we derive in doing so is a far more enduring and meaningful source of wellbeing than any external measure of success. I know the theory on this stuff, but my passion and belief come from my own experience of transformational change and growth.

Te Tii Marae

In 1830, land was sold to the Church Mission Society by the following Chiefs of which Te Tii was a part of: Kimokimo, Te Kemara, Marupo, Te Tao, Te Arupiro, Te Pahiko, Te Akai Pikitia, Parangi and Te Wera. R eportedly Te Kemara, Hone Heke, Te Haratua, Marupo, Te Hepetahi, Te Pua, Whiorau and Makoare also sold Waitangi land to the Church Mission Society much later on.

Archdeacon Henry Williams gifted back 81 acres to Te Kemara and to the Hapu of Ngati-Rahiri in 1839 as a Reserve for tribal purposes and to keep them near the Mission Church. That hapu being uri from Te Kemara, Marupo, Haratua, Te Tao, Whiorau, Heta Tuhirangi, Hone Heke, Makoare, Te Hepetahi, Mahikai, Peia, Parangi, Te Pua and Hori Pou.

The available block narrative (Maori Land Court records) indicates that the Te Tii Block (81 acres) was partitioned in 1890 and 1918, this included the naming of 251 persons as being the registered owners of the block. On April 15 1954, Te Tii B Trust registered at Auckland. The area concerned being 45 acres, 1 rood and 15 perches with approximately 500 beneficiaries registered. The appointed trustees were Hone Heke Rankin, Eru Moka Pou, Pereri Waharoa Tane, Henare Te Nana, Makere Joyce and Hamiora Maioha.

Later, Te Tii (Waitangi) B3 Trust created and formerly separated from Te Tii A (Marae), becoming the new entity responsible for and to manage the businesses on behalf of its beneficiaries, these currently being 42 residential houses, 6 kaumatua/kuia flats, 1 residential leased property, 4 commercial accommodation operations and a commercial retail arrangement.

It is worth noting however, and as a reminder to us all, that the Marae and the Te Tii B3 Trust beneficiaries are one and the same.

Cam Calkoen

Cam was born with Cerebral Palsy and his life has been “normal” for him since birth & his life would have carried on in whatever direction he chose to take it.

The fact that Cam chose to extend himself way out of his comfort zone to have done the two things doctors said he would never be able to do, and to a very high level (running & speaking) means the message he delivers is very powerful and unique.

In a few words “Cam delivers a unique message that inspires people to believe things are possible way beyond their thinking”.
