Year 12 Shakespearean Monologues
- St Patricks College, Silverstream
- Wednesday 31 April 2010: "To be or not to be" was an often heard phrase as Year 12 English students presented their own renditions of well known monologues from Hamlet, Macbeth and Letters from World War I as part of their assessment for NCEA English Standard 2.7. For their two minutes of fame they needed to be in character and interpret those immortal lines in their own inimitable way.

Record Numbers Strip Foodbank Bare
- Downtown Community Ministry
- Food supplies at Downtown Community Ministry’s Foodbank are struggling to cope with the record number of people seeking assistance. Over 40 people received food parcels on Monday in one of the busiest afternoons the Foodbank has known. At 1:30pm when the Foodbank opened 20 people were waiting to be interviewed for food assistance. “Despite generous support for the Foodbank this year, our shelves are once again empty with demand totally exceeding supply,” says DCM Director Stephanie McIntyre. More food is desperately needed to meet the demand.

Another restructure - Should we care?
- Architectural Centre Inc
- It’s inevitable, given their political nature, that governments (local and central) are subject to “restructuring” more than most institutions. Anyone involved in architecture and urban design in Wellington will have known, for a little while now, that the urban design bits of our city council have been, and are in the middle of, such [...]

To Manila with Love

- The idea of swapping life in Wellington for a squatter community in the chaotic bustle of Manila might sound crazy to some. But Downtown Community Ministry’s David Cross, and wife Maria – a qualified nurse, are preparing to move to the slums of Manila to work for Servants to Asia’s Urban Poor.

First XI Cricket beats St Bede's in Cliffhanger
- St Patricks College, Silverstream
- Tuesday 16 March 2010: In a cliffhanger ending, the First XI Cricket team has beaten St Bede's of Christchurch to bring home the Cup. Stream had to win outright to regain the trophy while St Bede's only had to bat out the day for a draw. Declaring early on Day Three after a knock of 101 by Ben Rammell, captain Brandon Tai set St Bede's a target of 280 to win: and a target for his own team of getting all ten wickets! At 5.15 pm this afternoon, the last wicket fell and Stream had won. A fantastic performance by the whole team. The Tennis team played earlier in the day against a strong St Bede's team, eventually losing the series.

Cut and Cover
- Architectural Centre Inc
- In a surprise move, the possibility of lowering State Highway One past the National War Memorial was announced on the front page of the weekend paper. At the Architectural Centre, we have been advocating this for a number of years now - we hosted a Symposium on the design of the ‘Memorial Park’ in 2007, and the over-whelming feedback from the group of assembled experts was that the roadway through the park should be lowered.
