Chip in for
road sealing,
residents
asked
Rangataua’s Kaha and Tau Street residents could get their roads sealed soon, if
enough of them agree to chip in towards the cost of the work.
Following submissions to the Ruapehu District Council Draft Long Term Plan that
called for the residential streets to be sealed, the Council held a public meeting in the
town last Wednesday.
Council’s chief executive Peter Till told the meeting that the council’s policy is that
if residents contribute financially, other residents will be asked to contribute through
rates.
Mr Till said the residents made “a very good submission”, pointing out the
development contributions made over the last 10 years, that traffic measurements are
misleading, and there have been changes in zone density.
The work is estimated to cost $405,000, which would be funded $294,000 from
district ratepayers; $30,819 from Kaha/Tau Street development contributions (from the
past 10 years); plus $80,181 from local residents.
Each resident would contribute $1167 (including GST) as a lump sum, or $124 each
year for 15 years.
RDC will write to all residents asking for their support, or otherwise, for the proposal.
If successful, the work would be undertaken next summer.
Weatherman Jim looks at
Mt Ruapehu plane crash
Ophelia Booth, at front, attaches a bright blue fish to a drain in Clyde Street last
week, while the rest of the fishy drains crew look on; from left, Diana Booth, Brett
Gibson, Councillor Rabbit Nottage and Phil Gerbault. Cr Rabbit instigated the
‘Mountains to Sea’ drains label project, to encourage people to keep the drains
free of contaminants. “We want to make people aware that what goes into the
drains goes into our streams, then into rivers and then into the sea.” He said he’s
seen people pour paint and other nasties into stormwater drains – and even coffee
grounds. Plastic litter is also a hazard to aquatic life. “It’s not just diesel (causing
problems). How many cigarette butts go down the drain? Everyone knows fish don’t
smoke.” The project came out of a Ruapehu District Council discussion and, thanks
to donations from Rabbit and his support from DB Services, Ohakune picture theatre
and Mountain Kebabs, they have already put 80 of the signs on drains around
Ohakune, including the Junction, and have support to start in Raetihi too. There are
three shapes – a trout, an eel and a dolphin, “because the stormwater goes from the
mountain to the sea”.
Ruapehu Bulletin – the Positive Paper
Pilot error was one of
the theories to explain a
plane crash on Mt Ruapehu in 1948, but Jim Hickey
says he believes it was a
classic case of an accident
waiting to happen.
Retired weather presenter and pilot Jim
Hickey is the presenter of
a documentary about the
crash of the National Airways Corporation Lockheed Electra that killed all
13 passengers and crew on
impact when it slammed
into a ridge near the Mangaturuturu Glacier, above
Lake Surprise, on 23 October 1948.
The episode of Descent
from Disaster airs on TV
One on Wednesday 24
June.
“They were flying a
plane that was ill-equipped
for the conditions,” Jim
Hickey told the Bulletin.
“They shouldn’t have
been flying in those condi-

tions (35-40 knot winds). They were getting far more (sideways) drift than they
thought,” he says, which put them on a
path straight into the mountain.
He says they were also flying at only
6000 feet, more than 3000 feet below the
top of Mt Ruapehu and 2000 feet below
the top of Mt Taranaki and in cloud.
Thunderstorms would have thrown the
plane’s compass and the plane was underpowered for the job it was asked to do.
“The poor old captain was on a hiding
to nothing.”
The plane had left Palmerston North
bound for Hamilton. The pilot made radio contact at 1.38pm and was reportedly
climbing in rain and cloud. That was the
last thing heard from the aircraft.
Searchers finally reached the wreckage
only to discover all 13 passengers and
crew had died on impact. At the time, this
was the worst civilian plane crash in New
Zealand and the National Airways Corporation’s first.
Jim is a keen pilot himself and comes
from a family of aviators. His father Jim
Snr, was a Spitfire pilot in WWII and Jim
now flies his own Yak 52 Warbird.
Jim’s extensive experience as a weatherman and pilot give him a unique insight
to this terrible disaster.
The plane was missing for a week and
a breakthrough finally came when three
deerstalkers came out of a densely wooded area on the western side of Mt Ruapehu. They said they had heard an aircraft’s
engines cut out near the mountain on the
day Kaka went missing.
Eventually, wreckage approximately
900m from the summit of the mountain
was detected from the air.
Search parties left for the site on the
morning of 29 October. Little hope was
held of finding anyone alive – weather
conditions on the mountain had been poor
and almost a week had passed since Kaka
had disappeared.
When the searchers arrived the following day, the passengers and crew were
found to have been killed on impact. The
bodies were recovered, wrapped in blankets and parachute material, and carried
down the mountain to Horopito.
In the course of filming the documentary, Jim Hickey spoke to ex-Ohakune
resident Rodney Winchcombe – one of
the brothers who later ran the Turoa rope
tows prior to the commercial development of the ski area.
Jim says he heard Rod’s story of travelling from Taihape, where he was living
at the time of the crash, with a couple of
tramping mates, to Ohakune.
“They got off the train, had a pie and a
cup of tea, then hiked through the night to
get to the crash site.”
He said they weren’t part of the official
search party, but got to the site around the
same time as them, to help with the recovery operation.
Asked what it was like, as a pilot himself, to learn about the crash, Jim says flying is a risky business and that “it does
you good as a pilot to learn about these
things”.
He reinforces his view that it wasn’t the
pilot alone to blame for the crash.
“The tragic thing is that 2-3km away,
or 200-300 feet higher and it would have
been okay.”
Busy year ahead for Phoenix Players
2015 has turned into a busy year for The Phoenix
Players as they set four productions in their sights.
ANZAC set the scene for the first show with mainly
children acting the ANZAC story of a New Zealand
family at home, which was well received by the public
and seen by over 100 people.
“The home of the Phoenix, The Theatre Royal in
Raetihi turns 100 this year and we hope to use it as much
as possible to showcase its determination to be a part of
our community,” says regular director Phyl Cameron.
This Thursday to Saturday Richard Harker will
perform A Chip in the Sugar, served with afternoon tea or
supper depending on the performance.
In August Phoenix take a step up and out with an
adults-only play.
“A little spicy but never offensive, we will present Stiff
written by a New Zealand playwright and guaranteed to
give you a giggle or two,” says Mrs Cameron.
November will see a departure from the usual panto as
the Youth Group perform A Clowns Play … a chance for
the younger members of the troupe to strut their stuff and
show what they can do. Auditions for Stiff will be held
later this month and for A Clowns Play in September.
The Theatre will also host the Art Awards in July and
possibly the Flower Show in September.
“There is plenty of life left in her yet and we want to
use her to the fullest,” says Mrs Cameron of the Theatre.
“Support us as you always do and we will continue to
make you smile or bring a tear to the eye,” she added,
saying the Phoenix always welcomes newcomers.

Decisions made on region’s
long-term plan
Horizons Regional Council approved amendments to its Long-term Plan last week,
determining what work should be funded, and how, over the next 10 years.
Horizons chairman Bruce Gordon said the process had been exhaustive but the
community could rest assured they had been listened to and councillors had worked
hard to develop a plan that reflected community needs.
“A number of worthy projects were put forward in the 187 submissions we
received, leading to some robust debates around the Council table. As always, it was
a balancing act. Affordability and core business were key considerations as we made
our final decisions,” Mr Gordon says.
“I think as a Council we can take heart from the fact that many of the submissions
we received were supportive of work currently underway and I would like to thank all
those who did take the time to have their say.”
Among issues in its consultation document distributed to households across the
Region in April, Horizons were: exiting Council’s role in road safety; changes
in Animal Health Board funding; consideration of an increase in funding for the
Sustainable Land Use Initiative (SLUI); and increasing its level of knowledge through
an enhanced water quality and quantity monitoring programme and upgrades to its
flood plain and earthquake risk assessment.
As a result of submissions, deliberations and updated information from the New
Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), Council resolved to continue its work in road
safety education, which it had previously proposed to exit in Year 2.
“A large number of submissions came in expressing support for Horizons’ work in
road safety. Since releasing our consultation document, we also received confirmation
from NZTA that funding assistance would continue at an average rate of 64 per cent
across the Region for Years 2 and 3 as well as clarification around the legislative
requirements of the Regional Transport Committee to carry out this work.”
Council also resolved to: fund $175,000 for Animal Health Board work in the
15/16 financial year made up of targeted rates and reserves; increase the SLUI
Uniform Annual Charge to $40.54 by Year 3; and increase water quality and quantity
monitoring.
Council also supported a submission from the region’s mayors to fund implementation
of the Regional Growth Study in Years 1-3 at a rate of up to $230,000 per annum
funded from Council reserves in Year 1. The community will be consulted on a 50/50
funding model between rates and reserves for Growth Study implementation in Years
2 and 3.
All submitters will receive a response advising of the outcome of Council’s
deliberations.
The final Long-term Plan will now be released for audit and adopted by Council at
a meeting on 30 June.
Call to seal Mangawhero River Road
Residents of Mangawhero River Road have added to
the calls for road sealing, telling the Ruapehu District
Council that their road is in a “very poor, dilapidated
state”.
The RDC has responded by saying they will seal the
road if residents contribute towards the ‘local share’ of
the costs.
John and Christine Warde wrote to the RDC and
Ruapehu MP Ian McKelvie regarding the state of the
road.
They say that over the years the number of properties
has risen from just a few to the present twenty, and “there
have been numerous attempts by the residents to have
something done about the disgraceful state of the road”.
The Wardes say there has been “no proper maintenance
carried out” in the past seven years, apart from a grader
that “temporarily” removes the “ripples on the surface”.
The residents claim that the state of the road leads to
dangerous driving conditions as well as a health hazard
from the dust that “travels hundreds of metres across the
homes, gardens and paddocks”.
The dust affects water supplies, washing hung out to
dry, inside homes, contaminates gardens as well as stock
water supplies.
The residents claim the RDC is responsible for the
problems, along with the Government “which leaves
such matters in the hands of the Local Authorities rather
than centralise roading responsibilities and funding”.
“Council (is) in breach of the law … by allowing the
dust ‘nuisance’ to continue,” claim John and Christine
Warde.
They claim that other, more minor roads, such as Lakes
Computers go home from
Raetihi School
Twenty Raetihi School parents and grandparents were presented with a free computer
and internet connections on Wednesday evening last week, as part of the school’s
computers in homes programme.
The Computers in Homes programme is designed to help families use the internet,
email and basic computer skills in their everyday lives.
“As a digital school it is important for our parents to have the ICT skills and
knowledge so they can support their children,” says tutor Kawana Wallace.
Raetihi School supplies their senior students with an iPad each, plus opportunities to
learn computer programming, robotics, design and movie making.
“Computers in Homes (programme) encourages our parents to keep up-skilling.
They are great role models for other parents out there wanting to further their own
education. Get up and get learning.”
Road, have been sealed, despite the Council claiming
that a lack of funding means roads can’t be sealed.
The couple claim that the Council has also been asked
to reduce the speed limit, until the road can be sealed, but
this request has been ignored.
Response
RDC says it maintains 856km of unsealed gravel
roads.
“The pressure on Council to seal these roads is
significant,” says RDC chief executive Peter Till.
He said it is true that the main issue is funding and
that where residents have assisted with the funding then
Council has been able to seal roads.
Mr Till said Lakes Road was first sealed before 1989
under the Waimarino County and was resealed between
2004 and January 2007.
Regarding lowering speed limits, Mr Till said “there
is little discretion for individual Councils to set varying
speed limits”, that the national roads authority sets the
rules on speed limits.
Mr Till told the Wardes that the Council will record
new traffic counts on the road “over the next few months
so that we can assess which is the cheapest whole-of-life
maintenance strategy”.
“Council is very happy to seal the road in accordance
with its Land Transport Policy, which can be found on
the website under publications,” said Mr Till.
“The hard part is usually finding the local share to
be contributed by the residents. All recent new sealing
works have either been funded in this way or with the
assistance of increased Government Subsidy in the case
of the Pipiriki Raetihi Road.”

Tough treatment coming to
Ruapehu kids
Letters
Times are getting tough for kids in the Waimarino – but in a fun way – with Sport
Whanganui planning a tough kid competition.
The annual children’s obstacle challenge is currently held at Wanganui’s Cooks
Gardens, and at McIntyre Reserve in the Rangitikei, with a Ruapehu version to take
place at the Raetihi Showgrounds on Friday 3 July.
The “fun and challenging” Tough Kid® courses are created for children aged from
Year 3 to Year 8.
Raetihi Primary School will host the event in partnership with Sport Whanganui.
Teacher in charge Mel Booth says she is looking forward to the occasion.
“We are super excited … it will be great to see the children push their own physical
and mental boundaries and have a huge amount of fun at the same time. We look
forward to welcoming students and families, from our surrounding schools, to the
awesome town of Raetihi.”
Some Ruapehu schools have taken part in the Rangitikei event, which catered for
all rural schools in Sport Whanganui’s area.
Regional sport advisor Marie Kinloch says she is pleased that even more schools
have the opportunity to be involved.
“Everybody is a winner and this is proved by the huge smiles covered in mud and
dirt after the completion of their race.”
Around 300 kids are expected to converge on the Raetihi Showgrounds, with 21
schools invited. Students will compete as individuals or in teams.
“The Waimarino kids will surely emerge as the toughest of the trilogy as they
navigate icy water and mud obstacles over a 1.5km course, bang in the middle of the
mountain region’s winter,” said Marie Kinloch.
Obstacles will include wall climbs, fence squeezes, a bog pit and a water slide.
Natural terrain in the form of rocky ground and rushes will add to the adventure.
A highlight will be the parent-teacher race that will test how well the adults measure
up on the toughness scale.

Manunui toilets closed
The Manunui Reserve riverside toilets
will be closed for a couple of days this
week so that they can be connected to the
main sewer line. Over the work period
people will be redirected to the public
toilets on Hakiaha Street, Taumarunui.
Council community services officer
Rina Hepi said that the old system fed into
THE
1
2
a septic tank and tree roots had caused
damaged to the pipes and so the toilets
are being connected directly into the main
sewer.
“The work will require plumbers to dig
a trench from the toilets to the sewage
pumping station located just outside of
the holiday park,” she said.

Raetihi supply ‘past use-by date’
• The present intake for the Raetihi water supply is
past its use-by date with run off from farmland and other
contaminates, e.g. diesel entering the system.
There is quality water at Horopito that could be tapped
into using a cost-effective low-maintenance gravity
system.
There are men in this town with the knowledge,
experience, expertise and qualifications that the council
could use to oversee the work instead of consulting with
over-educated persons with a piece of paper from a
university, which costs the ratepayers lots of money and
for which they receive very little in return in practical
terms.
The quality of Raetihi water has been debated for the
past 25 years-plus.
When is the vision going to become reality? And when
it does finally materialise, maybe then tourists will come
to our town to sample our quality water and enjoy a
decent cup of tea.
Tom Donaldson, Raetihi
RDC replies
• Ruapehu District Council has just completed its Long
Term Plan (LTP) 2015-25 where the issue of water for
Waimarino (Raetihi and Ohakune) was an issue that
council sought specific community input on.
The issues highlighted in the LTP with respect to the
Waimarino networks is that they have aging infrastructure,
are struggling to service peak populations, are not
compliant with drinking water standards requirements
and are serviced (funded) by small populations.
Over the next 12 months council is undertaking an
analysis aimed at clarifying credible options for the
future of drinking water supply in Waimarino. Once the
options are clearer there will be full consultation with the
community.
The consultation will include a proposed preferred
approach, how much it will cost and possible financing
arrangements. One option is combining the Raetihi and
Ohakune water supplies into one. This would allow the
rural community between Ohakune and Raetihi to be on
the supply.
Council is also in the process of preparing a new
resource consent for water abstraction (water intake) in
Raetihi. Public meetings have been held in support of
this process.
Under the current rating system water schemes are
funded by the communities they serve and the issue of
affordability is a significant consideration.
We trust that the writer took the opportunity to take part
in the LTP consultation on this issue and will continue
Ohakune hosted a J-grade Prince series tournament on
Sunday. Stevie Dowman won the top division beating fellow Ohakune player Josh Gunn 3-2 in the final.
In the division two final Paurini Taylor beat Genevieve
Bell (Palmerston North) 3-0 and in the division three final
Emma Burnard beat Davis Robb 3-2. Other results in division two were Dan Pearson won the plate, Camryn Maybe
(PN) won the special plate and Maliek Mullins (Taihape)
won the consolation plate. In division three Josh Hammond (Taihape) won the plate, Grace Burnard won the
special plate and Juliet Robb won the consolation plate.
This coming weekend will see some of the stronger junior players from the Central region competing at Ohakune
for the Central age group champs. They will compete
in under 11, under 13, under 15, under 17 and under 19
divisions.
Several players travelled to a great tournament in Wanganui over the weekend. Matt Laurenson won the special plate in Div 2; Johnny Double won Div 3 with Jason Haitana getting the plate. Daniel Maher won Div 4
with Steve Dowman receiving the plate and Lauren Wikohika the consolation plate. Gavin Watling won Div 7
with Stevie Dowman third. Div 10 saw the special plate
go to Tamara Double with the plate to Emma Dowman,
consolation plate going to Laura Griffin. Courtney Haitana
won Division 11 in an excellent final with Diana Cranston,
special plate Darnell Watling and plate Joanna Dowman.
Rosalie Dowman won Div 12. Div 13 runner up Paurini
Taylor.
“This was an awesome result and there was great hospitality from the Wanganui Squash Club,” said Ohakune’s
John Laurenson.
The final round of the Club’s inter-house competition
was played on Thursday night with the following results:
Top two teams, team six and team one had to battle it out
for outright winners. Team one continued their unbeaten
run, running out the victors by 33 points, the biggest winning margin of the competition at 91/58. It was just short
of the 35-point lead that team six had brought into the final
night. However, this left team six as the overall winners.
Team six’s winning team was Dylan Budge, Sarina Budge,
to engage with the official process as council and local
communities work through the issue and determine a
long-term sustainable solution.
Peter Till, chief executive, Ruapehu District Council
Spill response disappoints
• Mayor Cameron’s response to our concerns regarding
the diesel spillage is disappointing (see Letters, Ruapehu
Bulletin 9 June). He answers none of the points we raise
and instead glosses over the failure to take action by
saying it was an unprecedented event therefore council
could not be expected to have taken action.
The mayor refers to a detailed review, which took place
after the event but unfortunately did not elaborate on the
findings. A request for that information was turned down
unless a fee of $200 was to be paid first. Openness and
transparency it seems comes at a high price in Ruapehu.
The mayor did not address concerns on water quality,
instead we are told the town wants to move on and take
advantage of some fantastic opportunities presented by
increased tourist numbers. Presumably drawn to the free
diesel that comes with our water.
Moving on of course is something we’d all like to do
but that would mean not holding the council to account
for negligently allowing us to drink water contaminated
with diesel for three days before they finally established
I was right all along.
A negligence that is compounded by the fact that the
mayor claims he also smelt diesel in the river on the
Sunday the same day I first alerted the council, unlike me
he took no action.
A negligence compounded by consenting to a tank
installation on a sacred site in a national park with no failsafe to catch leaking diesel. On the original drawings for
the installation there was a bund but it was not required
by the council.
Raetihi has been poorly served by Ruapehu District
Council. When we call into question the service and lack
of protection we receive we are bullied, stonewalled and
overcharged. Yes, we’d like to move forward but first
we need to ensure our water is both safe and palatable;
secondly be certain lessons in good practice and safety
have been learned by those that are here to serve and
protect us.
Lastly, that there is an open accountability by local
authority. Only then can we be certain it will never
happen again.

Cash for good
sorts giveaway
Four local community support
groups benefitted from a service station
promotion last week.
The Waimarino Health Shuttle, which
provides transport for people to and
from health appointments in Wanganui,
received $589.
Waiouru School received $1070 for
its community vegetable garden and for
transport costs.
Victim Support Taihape receives $527.
The biggest share of the Waiouru fund
went to the Greenlea Rescue Helicopter,
at $1814.
The funds were distributed to match
the proportion of “votes” for each
organisation, by way of a token that each
customer was asked to place in a special
sectioned container.
The rescue helicopter received 45% of
the tokens.
“Overall, we received more than
4700 votes for the local groups we were
backing, each of which are doing great
things in our region,” said station manager
Serena Rose.
“It was really humbling to see our
customers show so much support.”
A further $1000 will be available for
the Waiouru service station to support
other community groups through the year.
Also, another $250,000 will be shared
amongst national organisations, based on
votes at the Z website.
Serena Rose from Waiouru’s Z Service Station was stoked to give
away almost $600 to the Waimarino Health Shuttle last week, and
Shuttle folk, from left, Grahame Craggs, Julie Hartley and Alan Murdie,
were even more stoked to receive it. Inset: Waiouru Korowai holder

‘Celebrating local rugby at its best’
Although it was cold, windy and pretty damp it was
a well-supported turn out for the Ruapehu Rugby and
Sports Club Old Timers Day on Saturday.
All games from Rippers to Premiers were played at
Rochfort Park, Ohakune, “celebrating local rugby at its
best”.
Kicking off the day was the Ripper, Under 8 and Under
9 teams. There has been amazing improvement each
week from these young teams as they grasp skills and
techniques, thanks to the tireless efforts of their coaches.
Ruapehu Under 11’s showed a huge effort in the first
half of their game demonstrating grit and determination,
but Ratana, realising that this team was not an easy beat,
picked up the pace in the second half and ran away with
the game.
Ruapehu Under 13’s had their head in the game this
week and with a lot more positivity on the field raised the
bar to a convincing win.
The Club thanks all Ruapehu Junior Rugby parents and
supporters, especially Jessie Seaman whose dedication to
the game is unfaltering.
Results: (comments are from the respective team
coaches):
Under 7 – Ruapehu vs Taihape: Another great round
of Rugby – after lengthy deliberations with one of the
players Benson Carmichael is player of the day. Great
sportsmanship from the Taihape team and both teams
played very well.
Under 8 – Ruapehu vs Pirates: 15-85. A great run from
young Chrissy Winters as he took a run all the way to
the try line and a big effort from the team but the Pirates
attack was too strong. Some very good tackle work from
the Ruapehu players did not make it all too easy for
Pirates. Keep up the good work.
Under 9 – Ruapehu vs Pirates: 5-40. A big effort and
some great defence work from Ruapehu but the attack
from Pirates was again too strong for this side. The
tackling is improving and the back up from players is
working, just some turn over ball was in the favour of

Teacher aides where formally acknowledged for their
hard work at Ohakune Primary School on Wednesday.
Classrooms were interrupted at 9.45am to applaud loudly
for the support staff and children were encouraged to
group-hug their teacher aide. Ms Dobson’s class happily
obliged with 22 Year 2/3 children hugging Jude Calder.
“We are very fortunate to have such a wonderfully
talented group of support staff; they are passionate about
seeing children succeed and are an important part of
children achieving goals at Ohakune Primary School,”
says principal Blair Dravitski.
The learners were quick to acknowledge the efforts of
all of the school’s teacher aides and office administrators
with children in Room 8 presenting cards with messages
of appreciation such as “You are a lovely person,” from
Grace Burnard and “You are amazing,” from Jayden
Bailey.
New ambassador Samuel Lyon presented all support
staff with gifts at morning tea saying “Thank you for all
that you do for us as learners. We really appreciate it.”
Raetihi support
Support Staff Day was marked at Raetihi School last
week. The event is an opportunity to thank all educational
support staff members in all education sectors for their
commitment and dedication to their schools, their
children and their communities.
“Most principals know the value of quality support
staff to a school and students learning,” says Raetihi
principal Nuku Wallace.
“I am so happy that at Raetihi School we have an
amazing support staff team who are willing to give
extra time and who work tirelessly to support classroom
teachers.”
Raetihi’s teachers showed their appreciation by putting
on a morning tea for the support staff as well as presenting
them all with thank-you cards.
“On behalf of the Ruapehu Principals Cluster I would
also like to thank all support staff of Nancy Winter
childhood centre, Mo Te Whanau Kohanga Reo, Nga
Morehu o Uenuku Kohanga Reo, Orautoha Primary,
Ohakune Primary, Ruapehu College, Waiouru School,

amaze
With over 200 actors
aged from 5 to 13
years and amazing new
costumes and scenery
especially designed for
this production, Raetihi
School’s new show The
shadow of Tipako is set
to stun and entertain
audiences.
The large-budget show
has taken all term to

put in by students and
staff.
“Every cent of the
large budget was well
spent on costumes, sound
equipment, lighting, back
drops, acting lessons,
music and recording,” says
principal Nuku Wallace.
“You won’t believe that
this is a school show, the
children look amazing
and do a great job telling
the haunting story of
‘Tipako”. The show takes
you on a journey from
the native forests of New
Zealand, the deserts of
Egypt, the Napoleon
battles, the traditions of
the Samari warriors, the
ancient Greeks, to the
mighty Roman Armies and
much, much more. It has a
strong story line that will
make you laugh, sing and
cry.”
“The school’s theatre
resources are astounding,
thanks to the support of
the Board of Trustees and
their investment into the
Arts and the performing
arts academy.”
The show is written and
directed by performing
arts academy teacher Dave
Sims.
Tickets are available
from the school office
but are limited to 250 per
performance.
Ruapehu Seniors retained their lead in the Wanganui
competition after 12 games, by beating Tech Old Boys
51-3 on Saturday at Rochfort Park, Ohakune.
The team struggled to begin with, but better

team, playing together as a team with solidarity saw them
run away in the second half.
The Ruapehu Premier team played Ratana, and the
first half scoreless draw reflected an even competition.
Ruapehu took their chances in the second half and came
out on top winning 13-0.

Raetihi’s young
leader recognised
Kate Rowe, a Year 8 student from Raetihi School, is to
be presented with a Sir Peter Blake Young Leader Award
for showing outstanding leadership qualities.
Kate is a school prefect, house captain and class leader.
Kate is also a member of the academic, gymnastics and
performing arts academies as well as a member of the
school choir.
“She is a fantastic role model for all our students,” said
principal Nuku Wallace.
Sir Peter Blake Trust CEO, Shelley Campbell,
says fostering leadership in young people is critical in
developing the future leaders of New Zealand.
“There are many styles of leadership but this award
celebrates young people who have demonstrated traits
such as commitment, a sense of fun and teamwork, all of
which Sir Peter himself had.
“Great leadership can make extraordinary things
happen but it’s often the last thing to be recognised and
supported. This award might be what a promising young
person needs to keep going or to aim higher.”
The Sir Peter Blake Trust, which administers the
awards, is supported by Westpac.

Students of Te Kura Kaupapa
Māori ō Ngāti Rangi attended the
Kahurangi Dance Troupe show
hosted at the Raetihi Primary last
week.
“The troupe took us on a journey
of dance to several of the Pacific
Islands – Tahiti, Hawaii, Samoa,
Rarotonga before arriving in
Aotearoa,” said Kura principal
Korty Wilson.
Following the show the students
were treated to an hour of the
troupe’s expertise in dance and
movement.
They taught them about copying,
accent and isolation which will
help the students as they prepare
for the story about ‘Te Kāhui
Maunga’ at the RAL seasonal staff
induction, which is to be held at
Maungārongo Marae on the last
week of June.
Ms Wilson thanked Ruapehu
REAP and Raetihi School for help
with the visit.
North on Sunday in preparation for the nationals
next month.
Basketball: The junior basketball girls were
beaten by Cullinane 32-14.
Rugby: Tuhirangi Akapita played fullback, and
Quaid Ponga subbed the wing in a big win (513) for Ruapehu Seniors against Tech Old Boys
on Saturday at Rochfort Park. Lesley McKenzie,
rugby development officer for the Wanganui
Rugby Union, was up to watch the young talent.
