No.21

2 November 2021

Otamatea High School is very excited to announce its new senior leadership team, in place for the start of

the 2022 academic year.

Dirk Smyth

, previously Deputy Principal, started as the school’s new principal at the beginning of this term, having been

on a Ministry of Education sabbatical during term 3.

Paul Chambers,

previously Assistant Principal, has now moved into the Deputy

Principal role.

These promotions, combined with significant roll growth, have led to the creation of two

new Assistant Principal positions. Following a rigorous appointment process, Nicky

Cotching and Huia Coll were the successful candidates. Both Nicky and Huia currently

work at the High School.

Nicky, an ex-student of Kaiwaka Primary School and of Otamatea High School brings

considerable experience to this position. She was seconded onto the senior leadership

team during term 3 while Dirk was on sabbatical and did an impressive job during this

time. Nicky is currently the school’s Specialist Classroom Teacher, and oversees EOTC,

staff professional development and the teachers’ professional growth cycle. She has also

previously been the head of the science department.

Huia has been on the senior leadership team since the beginning of the year on a fixed

term basis and has impressed everyone with her leadership skills and calm approach to

what has been a busy year. She brings a wealth of

experience to the role, and is currently the school’s

Learning Support Coordinator, overseeing a team of

teaching assistants and specialist teachers. We also

welcome Huia as the first Māori wahine to the

school’s senior leadership team.

This is a strong team that will be responsible for

implementing a number of ambitious goals the school

will have in place for the next 3 to 5 years. This will

ensure our kura goes from strength to strength, to

help our students be “Ready for the World”."

YATES GARDEN HAMPER WINNER

Our winner of the wonderful Yates Gardening Hamper Competition! Well done,

Milliscent Kemp, pictured below with her wonderful prize. Milliscent received

her prize last week during Yates Garden Week 18-25 October. And some words

from Milliscent:"I have studied in most fields of the Environment, Horticulture,

Permaculture, Hydroponics and sustainable rural development. I'm now doing a

study in apiculture (bees). I hope to one day work with the department of

conservation as a ranger to help restore our environment back to its natural state."

ARMISTICE DAY: PEACE AND HOMECOMING:

At 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918, the Armistice marked the moment

when hostilities ceased on the Western Front. The "eleventh hour of

the eleventh day of the eleventh month" thereafter became

universally associated with the remembrance of those who had died in the First

World War.

Spotted in Kaiwaka: Four Little Birds Patisserie and

Cakes wonderful Halloween window

. As Diana says,

“Halloween this year might be a little different for kids so thought we would

create a little scary magic in shop window to bring on some smiles to kids!”

Kaiwaka Physio: a regular

column on all thing’s physio

and fitness:

It’s important in these times that we

keep ourselves as fit and healthy as

possible. To kick things off I plan to

write a few articles about exercise- how

much?, what type?, what to do if you

struggle to exercise or are just really

lazy!

I am sure you have heard it before, but

it has been said that “If exercise could

be packaged in a pill, it would be the

single most widely prescribed and

beneficial medicine in the world.”

Exercise decreases the risk of heart

disease, high blood pressure, cancer,

type-2 diabetes, falls, anxiety and

depression. It helps improve sleep,

cognitive health and can help with

weight loss.

World

Health

Organisation

guidelines state that adults aged 18–64

years



should do at least 2.5- 5 hours of

moderate-intensity aerobic physical

activity a week



or at least 1.25- 2.5 hours of vigorous

-intensity aerobic physical activity; or

equivalent

combination

moderate- and vigorous-intensity

activity throughout the week



should also do muscle-strengthening

activities at moderate or greater

intensity that involve all major muscle

groups on 2 or more days a week, as

these provide additional health

benefits.



should limit the amount of time spent

being sedentary. Replacing sedentary

time with physical activity of any

intensity (including light intensity)

provides health benefits.

There

are

different

recommendations

for

children and over 65’s but

more on them another time.

EXERCISE

Moderate exercise

includes brisk

walking, heavy housework such as

washing windows and vacuuming,

playing badminton and mowing the

lawn. Vigorous activity includes

jogging/running,

fast

cycling,

shovelling, playing soccer. Muscle

strengthening

involves

applying

resistance to your muscles. This could

be lifting weights, gardening, steps,

hillwalking and squats.

10000 STEPS A DAY

A popular way of monitoring activity

levels is counting your steps. 10000

steps a day is a great goal but don’t be

put off if you are some way off this

target. If you do no exercise and just

walk round the

house a bit and

to and from the

car a couple of

times, you will

clock up about 2

-3000 steps a

day.

doubling this to

about

5-6000

steps you can

gain significant health benefits.

I hope this has given you something to

think about. How are you tracking with

the amount of physical activity you do

every week? Next time I plan to give

you some ideas to help increase your

activity levels and then we’ll talk about

kids and older adults. ~ Amy

“DO YOU WONDER WHAT YOUR

PROPERTY MAY BE WORTH?”

“Would you like to know,

but don’t want to feel

obligated to sell now?”

Kaye McElwain from Ray White

has lived in the area for 16 years and

has worked in real estate for more

than two decades as an agent and

business owner

‘This week I’ll explain if you do wish

to know what your property may be

worth in today’s crazy market, what

you can expect the salesperson to

provide; and how this may be of value,

even if you’re not wishing to sell now

or in the near future.

As far as value, there are a number of

appraisal methods the salesperson could

use to provide you with an expected

selling range. The most common being

the ‘Sales Comparison’ approach. This

is a reliable method that is market-

related and relies on actual sales

transactions, comparing your property

to similar properties to yours in your

surrounding area

that have sold recently. The variables

used in establishing value would

include: location; size and quality of the

land; current and potential use of the

land (if a lifestyle property); size,

quality of fixtures and fittings of your

dwelling; zoning of the property;

property improvements; and some

consideration of what the property

market trends are. If there is no real or

limited data that is comparable, another

appraisal method should be used.

So that the salesperson understands and

appreciates the features your property

offers, it is best practice for them to

meet with you and view the property. If

you are just curious and not intending

to sell at this time, be clear with them.

They should respect this, understanding

that their business may come from a

relationship developed some years

before. For you, being informed of

possible sale value gives you a better

appreciation of the property trends in

your area, can greatly assist planning

for your future moves and can assist

with planning finance requirements for

renovations

and

mortgage

restructuring.

The licensee salesperson or agent is

governed by the Real Estate Agents Act

2008 which states that an appraisal of

land or business must: be provided in

writing and realistically reflect current

market conditions and; be supported by

comparable information on sales of

similar land in similar locations or

businesses. In the event you may decide

to sell the completed appraisal will

include:

● A comparative market analysis giving

a probable $ selling range for your

property;

● A general overview of the real estate

market;

● Recommended sales and marketing

strategy tailored to your property;

● A choice of sale methods available;

● Samples of marketing options;

● Agency fee and any other expenses

that may be incurred.

To answer the thought “I don’t wish to

put you to all this trouble, but just want

to know how much my home is worth”,

rest assured a good salesperson will

want to assist, happy to provide you

with full information so that you can

not only understand property values

better in your area and for your

property but are aware of the selling

process for when you

may wish to make a property change.

Love to talk to you further if you have

property questions, please call me on

027 215 2016.

LIBBY JONES – MEMBER

NORTHLAND

DISTRICT

HEALTH BOARD

New

Zealand

and

especially Northland, has

an ageing population. In

2020 over 65-year-olds

were 20% of our population, and this

is predicted to rise to 28% by 2028,

when the national figure will be 21%.

While most of us would prefer to age at

home and be supported if needed in our

own familiar environment, that is not

possible for everyone as they age.

HOME HELP

Home support services such as home

help and personal cares are a great

support to keep people ageing well at

home. However sometimes chronic

health, disability and mobility issues

can mean that out of home care is

needed. Services such as residential

care, including rest homes, dementia

units and hospitals, home support

services and day care centres are all

provided specifically for older persons.

Communities such as ours, which are

away from main centres, often do not

have many of these services available

and older people needing extra care and

support may need to leave their familiar

community and move either closer to

family or to the main centres.

MAUNGATUROTO DEMENTIA

UNIT

This doesn’t work for everyone which

is why it is so good to see the recent

opening of the Maungaturoto Dementia

Unit attached to the Maungaturoto Rest

Home. What a fantastic community

effort and persistence from a small

group of people with a vison for the

safe care of some of our older citizens.

Paparoa is in the process of developing

a Lifestyle Village for older persons to

remain locally and again it is a

mammoth task being undertaken.

Thanks to all of these volunteers.

SOCIAL CONNECTION

Loneliness and social connection are

other reasons why older persons move

away from their homes to bigger

centres or to residential care. A sense of

belonging and connecting with others is

essential for all of us, especially older

persons who may not be seeing or

meeting with as many people as they

used to, and are key factors in keeping

us all ageing well. We are social beings

and as members of our small

communities we can make and take

opportunities to connect with our older

neighbours and citizens. We did this

well in the first lockdown in 2020,

checking in with our older residents.

Are we still doing it now?

Keep connecting, Libby

hames.jones@xtra.co.nz 021 2080093

A MESSAGE FROM

OUR PASTORS

Kia ora Family

Great news for us here in Northland as

we are at Covid Level 2. This means we

will be operating our Sunday services

with Level 2 restrictions.

To ensure everyone is safe, we will be

making sure that we scan in or

manually sign in at the door with details

and social distancing.

Masks are optional inside our service,

and we will be making sure we keep a

limited number of people inside.

If we exceed our numbers, we have an

overflow room that will be ready to

cope with this.

The Kids Service and Crèche will

continue as normal.

We are praying and thinking of our

Church Family who are stuck over the

border still in level 3 and all those that

have been unable to attend Church

since mid-August - kia kaha Whanau.

Our Church position regarding the

Covid vaccination is that we will not be

forcing anyone to be vaccinated or

unvaccinated - we believe in the

freedom of choice.

We do consider everyone's safety at this

time but will allow you and your family

to make your own decisions regarding

vaccinations.

We will continue to love and serve all

who come through our doors regardless

of their stance on vaccinations.

We will not discriminate between

people and your own personal views

regarding these matters.

respect

and

our

Government’s guidelines but we as

Faith Leaders will uphold our spiritual

values centered in Christ, according to

God's Word which is to love our

neighbour.

All are welcome into our service, and

we are here to serve our community.

God bless you all and if we can help

you in any way at this time, please

contact us directly.

KAIWAKA SPORTS

ASSN. GROUNDS

The buildings are off limits during the

current Lockdown

KSA UPDATE

The Covid situation has certainly

curbed a number of activities at our

Sports Assn. for example the Kaiwaka

School Disco, the district’s Agricultural

Group Day, the Fright Night activities,

the Kaiwaka School reunion and others

that are planned but not yet advertised;

even a number of Christmas functions

are now on hold.

Being on Auckland’s Level 3 border

does make it difficult to plan.

BOOK REVIEW

Recently, I've read Us Three, by Ruth Jones.

Familiar

name? You may know her as Ness from the tv series Gavin &
Stacey.  "Meet  Lana,  Judith  and  Catrin.  Best  friends  since
primary  school  when  they  swore  an  oath  on  a  Curly  Wurly
wrapper that they would always be there for each other, come
what may. After the trip of a lifetime, the three girls are closer
than  ever.  But  an  unexpected  turn  of  events  shakes  the
foundation of their friendship to its core, leaving their future
in doubt – there’s simply too much to forgive, let alone forget.
An  innocent  childhood  promise  they  once  made  now  seems
impossible  to  keep..."

This was a lovely read, with a

surprising twist along the way. The book is on our Rental

Fiction shelves.

See you in the library ~Wendy

THE KAURI MUSEUM

QUIILT EXHIBITION

A special feature of this year's Quilt Exhibition at the Museum on

until November 21, are the Underground Railroad Quilts. According to some

historians, certain patterns on quilts were a code to assist slaves attempting to

escape from the United States to Canada. Pictured below is quilter Lyn King

viewing a sampler quilt which features a number of the patterns.
