    • Photographs - Charles Edwards
      • <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > "Long is the way and hard, that leads out of hell up to light" These photographic works are an interpretation of, and were taken and produced, during a 400 day journey of sobriety after a lifetime addiction to alcohol. The images are a visual commentary on my personal labouring in the darkness, the damage it caused, and the journey to a lighter and brighter future of sobriety. Expressed through light and shadow. Hand printed in the darkroom, from 35mm and 120 roll film black and white negative, onto fiber based art paper and then selenium toned for warmth and archival permanence. Charles Edwards worked in the screen industry playing with cameras. This led to playing with still cameras. Then the often obsessional and inevitable segues this passion has to playing in the darkroom. And has been freezing photons with film - since 1997. Currently working as a full time Dad by day and a photographic darkroom artist by night.

    • The landlord mentality on the waterfront
      • I applaud the sentiments of Lowry Bay resident Tony Cranston, whose letter about the Wellington waterfront earned top position in the DomPost yesterday. He wrote: On Wednesday, walking around the waterfront I was again impressed by its beautiful views. Wellington is very lucky to have a waterfront where one is constantly struck by the views of harbour, houses and hills on one side, and an attractive city on the other. Why the council prefers mediocre buildings to this natural beauty is a mystery. The latest example of what I call developers’ vandalism hits you right in the face as you approach Te Papa. The “conversion” of the Overseas Passenger Terminal will clearly be an over-sized monstrosity, obliterating much of Mt Victoria and its charming houses; it will tower over the marine like Darth Vader and destroy a lot of the character of that part of the waterfront. Might more councillors find some soul and save the waterfront from this landlord mentality before it’s too late?"

    • The Club Kit Store is open for a limited time. Don't miss out.
      • Howdy folks And the Kit shop is OPEN with 3 new items;  Club Socks Club Undershirt Club Cap Plus all the awesome items we've had before, and Tineli have kindly honoured last year's pricing NOTE -  Please place and pay for your order by: 11/03/2020 11:59 pm The order will be produced and shipped by: 8/05/2020 It's almost time to think about your winter requirements too, and if you haven't already bought a winter jersey, we can highly recommend these for keeping you snug (but not sweaty) through the months ahead.   It's great to see us out there wearing our Club kit. It really stands out, keeping us safer on the roads.     We don't open the kit shop very often - as we have to hit certain sales marks to make it viable.  Generally, it's once a year - so take that into account when making your choices and put your best foot forward :)

Auckland and Dunedin now also have measles cases. While there are currently no reported cases in the greater Wellington region, people will move around NZ during the school holiday period of 13 – 28 April, which includes Easter (19 April –22 April), and ANZAC Day (25 April), and it is likely measles will spread. Accordingly, attached is an information sheet and FAQs regarding measles for primary, intermediate and secondary schools.  Regional Public Health – www.rph.org.nz Ministry of Health – www.health.govt.nz Immunisation Advisory Centre – www.immune.org.nz What’s happening? Focus on Climate Change At the time of writing, a large number of our students are in town for the Climate Change Strike, part of a global movement of youth protest.  In the build up to this, Wellington High’s Molly Doyle in Year 13, took part in a panel with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, the Green Party’s James Shaw, and student leaders from other schools. You can read more about the event here.             World Vision Youth Conference Stop Press: While many of our students have been out at the Strike4Climate this morning, four students have been representing WHS at the World Vision Youth Conference. Abishkar Palma, Emily Brooke, Liberty McIntyre-Reet, and Jack Davies have been learning and sharing their ideas and vision of how they can be change makers in our community.           Talking Books with Jacinda Ardern Johanna Christ, Alex Buyck, Otis Brown and Em Flux attended a fundraiser for the Katherine Mansfield House and Garden on the evening of Wednesday 13 March to hear Jacinda Ardern talk about her love of books. The Prime Minister shared advice for teenagers, “Know yourself. Know when you are feeling fragile and get off social media. Don’t live life on a screen.” She also talked about the importance of reading saying, “In order to give children the gift of reading, we need to give parents and caregivers the gift of time.” The students came away feeling very lucky to have had the opportunity to attend the event.       Farewell to Chrissy Laing We reluctantly said goodbye to Chrissy Laing on Thursday 14 March after four and a half years of outstanding service as our Gateway coordinator. Chrissy brought enormous positive energy to this important role and she will be greatly missed.

We journeyed up to the mountains and on Tuesday did the long 19.4km Tongariro Crossing. The 22 students and 3 staff made it over in just under 8 hours, some more adventurous students choosing to run the final 3km downhill. Everyone did a great job an had a great time, and the warm hot pools straight afterward were welcomed by us all. The weather was fantastic – a number of us were sporting pink noses by the afternoon. Thank you to Kerry Parker and Kyle West who accompanied and made it possible to do the Crossing for the first time in many years.

"It has always been our vision to be the best team in Wellington by 30 June 2030" said Rover Manager Steve Hall "but this is going a bit faster than I anticipated, we're already over half way there with twenty three years or so to spare".

    • Whitemans Valley storm
      • Due to the recent storm the roads in Whitemans Valley have been seriously affected by slips, trees blown over and power lines taken out. There are a number of different areas between Wallaceville Hill and Blue Mtns Hill that contractors are currently working on. However it is still teaming with rain at 11.30am Thursday and flooding could also be an issue. It would pay to find an alternative training ride if you use these roads.

    • BNU v. Lower Hutt, 0-3
      • Without a doubt this was a clash eagerly anticipated by all the BNU players. Come 2:30pm Saturday we would be playing on what was tipped to be the pitch of the season and the surface was the topic of conversation early in the week leading up to the game. But like many fields in the capital, it couldn’t cope with the consistent rain and Karori number 1 was underwater.

    • summer city
      • For some of the smallest Wellingtonistas the most important part of the council's Summer City festival has finished with the end of Fairy Trina's wildly popular run of Enchanted Tales on Saturday. And this evening marked the end of a series of pretty interesting evening Gardens Magic events with a gig by OdESSA. But fear not - there's still lots more excitement for everyone between now and the end of March when the festival wraps up.

    • Major new sculpture for Wellington
      • The Wellington Sculpture Trust is excited to announce the commissioning of a major new artwork by the Wellington-based artist Regan Gentry. The piece, named Subject to Change, has been specifically designed for its location in the Te Aro area, making reference to the changes in the urban landscape of that part of Wellington. It comprises a replica of two walls of a heritage-style building, yet is clearly a large scale work of art.

      • Easter Monday came around all too quick for my liking, considering only 48 hours prior we'd had a physical encounter against a youthful Lower Hutt side. Still, it's the same for both sides, and both Stop Out and Island Bay turned up at Hutt Park Raceway determined to put in a good showing despite the windy weather.We started in to the wind, and tried to play Football by keeping the ball on the dec

      • While I&#8217;ve been quite impressed by the new trolley buses in Wellington, one gleaming in its paua-shell colour-scheme as it slides silently through the city, I still have a hankering for a double-decker, which are fairly common throughout England, and of which we seem to have one roaming solo in the streets of Wellington.

    • Indoor Sports Centre
      • The Eye of the Fish has tried to keep away from the whole sorry saga of the Sports Centre, but recent developments deserve a forum for comment. The entire Sports Centre fad has escaped by the Fish, for whom the idea of 12 courts full of screaming netballers sounds more like a living hell than a place we’d ever want to go to. Apparently even 12 courts is a small number, claim the supporters,

      • It seems to be such a shame to go off all ballistic on the eve of a pleasant Christmas week, but the announcement today about the cost over-runs on the Supreme Court fair made my blood boil. While normally a left of centre supporter, and one who lives in sick apprehension about the mayhem about to be unleashed upon us by National’s unrestricted puppies of Doom, the whole sorry shameful saga

      • BNU 2 - Porirua City 5 BNU came up against a youthful and skilled Porirua City side at Adventure Park, eventually going down by 2-5 scoreline. In an open, attacking first half BNU found themselves 3 goals down after half an hour but, as last week, fought back well with a strike from John Lee after a determined run into the box and a deft near-post header from Carl Roberts after a concerted period

    • Serepisos – the name that won’t go away
      • The Terry Serepisos name re-appeared today as an election issue – this time for the mayor of Hutt City who seems to have said too much about the property developer’s overdue rates. But in Wellington, since Mayor Kerry Prendergast’s meetings with the Serepisos-owned Phoenix football team to discuss its request for financial support from ratepayers, the city council has tried to make the Serepisos name go away, by saying nothing at all.
