Rotorua 1914, an introduction to Rotorua and to the Maori Pioneer Battalion.

View of town, probably Rotorua. Photograph taken ca 1895-1916, probably by Robina Nicol of Wellington.

An Introduction to Rotorua and to the Maori Pioneer Battalion.

Rotorua, 1914. The place may seem familiar, but certainly not the date.  Separated by generations, many of us (myself included) find it difficult to relate to WW1 and what the soldiers and their families went through during the war.

To take us back to that time I’m going to explore the Rotorua region of 1914, this blog being the first of a few blogs that look into how the war affected our region and city and the stories and...

Pourquoi La Nouvelle Zélande?

Pourquoi La Nouvelle Zélande?

Pourquoi La Nouvelle-Zélande?*

La Nouvelle-Zélande en 1914 est une jeune nation de 1.1 million habitants, une nation émergente ou presque cinquante pour cent des personnes habite à la campagne. Après la déclaration de la guerre environ 100,000 personnes ont été enrôlées dans l’armée et alors, ce conflit a touché toutes les familles et les communautés partout dans la Nouvelle-Zélande. Quatre ans plus tard 41,000 sont rentrés blessés et 18,000 ont été tués. Nous connaissons les chiffres et les...

Petit-Déj Sympa à L'Alliance

Petit-Déj Sympa à L'Alliance

Aujourd’hui j’avais le plaisir d’être l’invité au petit-déjeuner de L’Alliance Française d’Auckland. Je suis arrivé vers dix heures, et c’était très sympa de parler un peu de français avant de commencer. Avec une vingtaine de gens comme audience, j’ai commencé mon petit discours vers onze heures. D’abord je me suis présenté, et j’ai parlé un peu à propos de mon école et mon rôle comme Député Jeune avant de décrire le projet de Histoires Partagées et ses buts — l’amitié des jeunes basée sur la...

Petit Discours au Beehive (en anglais!)

Je sais que c’est un peu, peut-être beaucoup, hors sujet mais je suis un Député Jeune (Youth MP) pour mon électorat de Maungakiekie et je vais aller au parlement le 19-20 juillet pour L’Assemblé des Jeunes (Youth Parliament).

Newlands College in Le Quesnoy

Newlands College in Le Quesnoy

Between 18 April and 6 May, 15 students from Newlands College in Wellington participated in a 3 week language and culture trip to France.  The group was firstly based in Paris, before heading down to homestays and language classes in Nice.  One of the highlights of our time in Paris was a day-trip to Le Quesnoy for ANZAC commemorations, followed by a tour of the Arras tunnels.  Students performed an emotional waiata at the mayoral reception in the Le Quesnoy town hall after the ceremony itself.
