Gisborne District
Gisborne District or the Gisborne Region (Māori: ''Te Tairāwhiti'' or ''Te Tai Rāwhiti'') is a local government area of northeastern New Zealand. It is governed by Gisborne District Council, a unitary authority (with the combined powers of a district and regional council). It is named after its largest settlement, the city of Gisborne. The region is also commonly referred to as the East Coast. The region is commonly divided into the East Cape and Poverty Bay. It is bounded by mountain ranges to the west, rugged country to the south, and faces east onto the Pacific Ocean. Name and history Prior to the late 19th century, the area was known as Tūranga. However, as the Gisborne town site was laid out in 1870, the name changed to Gisborne, after the Colonial Secretary William Gisborne, and to avoid confusion with the town of Tauranga. The region was formerly known as the ''East Coast'', although the region is often divided into the East Coast proper (or East Cape), north ...

Gisborne Central School
Whataupoko is the central suburb of the New Zealand city of Gisborne. It is located to the northeast of the city business district. It is bordered by the city centre, and the suburbs of Kaiti and Mangapapa. The name derives from the Maori terms 'Whata', meaning to elevate, support, bring into prominence or hang; and 'Upoko', meaning 'head'. This has often been considered to refer to the tribal display of the heads of defeated opponents but this is a mistaken attribution, based on ideas of the primacy and noble savagery of Māori that came from the assumptions of newcomers. Another theory put forward by residents is that 'Whata' and 'Upoko' mean the high head, or high point, or high chief, et cetera. Indeed, the point is the centre of the city, of the region, and at the centre of the suburb is still the seat of local government and oldest homes. Tairawhiti Museum, Gisborne's regional museum established in 1883, is located in Whataupoko. Demographics Whataupoko, comprising th ...

Lytton High School
Lytton High School is a co-educational state secondary school in Gisborne, New Zealand for students in Years 9 to 13. History Gisborne High School was the first and only state secondary school in Gisborne between 1909 and 1955. It was a co-educational school, however in 1956 it was decided that the school would be divided into Gisborne Boys' High School and Gisborne Girls' High School. Soon after the split, plans were made to establish a third and co-educational state secondary school. The Gisborne High Schools Board of Governors chose an area of land in outer Mangapapa to base the school, with the other option being in outer Kaiti. It was decided that the school be named 'Lytton', thus identifying it with Lytton Road where the school was to be situated. The original derivation of the name was from Lord Lytton, a distinguished British politician, poet and novelist. Building of the school commenced in May 1960 and in June of that year, Mr J. C. Wilson was appointed principal. L ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
