Using student lead investigation of a range of ideas that they
wanted to explore, they have written reports, invited an energy
expert from Powerco to give a presentation, held workshops
constructing various machines that use wind and solar energy as
power sources and explored how the theory of electricity works to
make working electrical circuits.
Catherine is really keen to use this as a launching platform for
further energy investigations and how renewable energy sources

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
We believe we need to start planning now to ensure our transport networks are as resilient as
possible, given what lies ahead of us:
With climate change, we can expect more severe storms and winds that can cause
significant damage to roads, highways and other infrastructure. And rising sea levels will
have a relatively small impact on SH3 north and SH45. There is also the ever-present
possibility
protected to a high level –
but to a slightly lesser degree. Almost all activities or
developments will not be able to have any adverse effect. And
where an activity or development is significant enough to be
allowed to proceed, any adverse effects must be remedied or
mitigated.

What are we protecting

Replace the soil and pull the seedling up about
5 cm.
Taller plants may require staking, especially if
they are in an exposed location.
If your site is exposed, create a barrier to protect
plants on the edges from wind or salt.
Mulch with bark chips, newspaper, woollen
mats, sheep manure, cut grass, old hay or other
biodegradable material. Be careful with animal
manure because it can bring in weeds. Mulching
preserves moisture, slows drying and also

km (Blong, 1984). They may be either angular and brittle (termed ‘blocks’) or rounded and
formed from magma (‘bombs’), and are not affected by the wind speed or direction due to
their size. Ballistics can be over 10m in size near the vent.
Ash and lapilli
Volcanic ash and lapilli are formed by explosive volcanic eruptions. Ash is carried high above
an erupting volcano in the ash column and usually widely distributed, however lapilli are not

DESCRIPTION
Ngaio is a small, fast-growing tree that grows to a height of about 10m and
forms a spreading canopy with a stout trunk up to 30cm in diameter. It is a
very hardy plant that is drought, salt and wind tolerant.
Ngaio’s leaves are bright green and fleshy. They are simple, with small
marginal teeth towards their tips, and are alternately arranged along the
stem. Other key characteristics include oil glands dotted over the leaves.
These
shelter the nest from wind and rain. Breeding occurs between
September to February with 2-3 eggs per clutch. Birds begin to breed after
one year of age and often remain in the same pair for a long time.
FERNBIRDS IN TARANAKI
In Taranaki only a few small populations of fernbirds are still present on the
ring plain due to habitat loss. The few small populations that remain inside
Egmont National Park are responding well to predator control. Larger
populations can still
