!Itinerary Specially Prepared for

Knox Grammar School Soak it Up 100% Pure New Zealand Rugby Tour April 2014 !!!!!!!!!!!

WELCOME It is my pleasure, as Managing Director of Total Rugby, to welcome Knox Grammar School to New Zealand. Knox have a long history of touring New Zealand and we hope that this tour will enhance your developing rugby programme. It will be wonderful to host you here in Christchurch. Haere Mai, and enjoy your stay. !

!!!!

INTRODUCTORY NOTES Weather: April is autumn weather, which means it can be very changeable. Temperatures can fluctuate wildly, from high 20s / low 30s to almost single figures. However, the average should be about 16 degrees Celsius. !Grounds: Grounds will be in good condition without the winter rains. If weather is warm they could be very hard. Multi-studded boots should be adequate for backs (no guarantee), but are unlikely to provide adequate traction for tight forwards. Medium length studs recommended !Game protocol: Most schools in New Zealand have their own haka and it is common practice for the host school to perform the haka for overseas visiting teams. This is meant as a challenge and it is up to the visiting team to accept it as they wish. Generally, the team facing the challenge will line up on their own 10m line and front up. This is seen as the most respectful. Three cheers are performed at the end of the match and players shake hands with the opposition.

!Mouthguards: Mouthgurards are compulsory at all levels of rugby in New Zealand. The ref will inspect that you have a mouthguard at the start of the game. !First Aid: It is not compulsory to have a first aid officer at every game. Initial first aid is generally administered by coaching and/or management staff. Emergency services are available for more serious injuries. (Note: There is an ambulance and first aid staff at the festival) The emergency number in New Zealand is 111. There are after-hours medical services available in all main centres. ACC (Accident Compensation Commission) covers most of the cost if it is an accident - there will be a surcharge. Total Rugby will assist with coordinating medical services including physiotherapy. It is expected that tour groups will have their own travel insurance to cover medical expenses. Operators of tourist services have their own policies regarding health and safety and issues arising should be managed directly with them. Ice should be part of your first aid kit. Ice is available from service (fuel) stations, corner stores and supermarkets. !Equipment: Total Rugby has a number of training balls available. Please make an early request for other specific equipment if required as it is possible to source a range of gear. !Laundry: St Andrews College boarding hostel has a full laundry facility, staff will explain how to operate. !Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included daily throughout your itinerary. Breakfasts will all be at your accommodation and are continental (typically cereal, toast and spreads, tea/coffee), lunches are packed and are provided at your accommodation to be collected each day as you leave breakfast, dinners at your accommodation are two course (main course and dessert) or buffet style. !Security/valuables: This is your own responsibility. Valuables have been stolen before. Please never assume that it will be okay to leave valuables unattended or gear rooms unlocked. Every attempt will be made to assist you with your own security. !Liaison: Total Rugby staff will be available 24 hours. Please use the cell phone numbers on this page. Our staff will not always be with you during your activities but we will check in with you each day, either in the evening to discuss the days events and go over the next day, or in the morning. !Luggage: Due to coach luggage capacity it is requested that each person is limited to one suitcase and one carry-on bag. If your luggage is going to exceed this please advise Total Rugby prior to your arrival. !Rugby Boots: New Zealand has very strict biosecurity regulations, during your flight please complete the Passenger Arrival Card supplied by the airline with care and ensure rugby boots are clean prior to your departure. !Festival Information: Powhiri - Please be early and assemble in front of the main school building. You will need to wear your No 1s. This is a traditional Maori welcome and as such hakas will be performed. As a reply most of the New Zealand schools will perform their school haka. In the past Australian schools have also performed an item such as the school song or a school chant. However, it is not compulsory. There will be a managers meeting after the ceremony and something to eat and drink for the players and staff (not a meal). !

Matches Friday 1 X 60 minute games + Welcome Saturday 2 X 40 minute games + Dinner Sunday 1 X 60 minute game + Presentation !Haka: All NZ school 1st XVs have a haka and usually perform it prior to a game. The general rule is to stand as a team on your own 10m line and face the opposition. 3 cheers at the start and end of the game is still a regular feature. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KO TANE

Welcome to Ko Tane Living Maori Village at Willowbank Wildlife Reserve , Christchurch, where maori culture and conservation meet to give a unique glimpse into the way of life of the South Island Ngai Tahu Maori people before the arrival of the Europeans. Experience the thrill of the wero, the traditional challenge to visitors, as you are brought into the sacred precinct of Tane, Maori God of the Forests. Hear the haunting traditional call, the Karanga, performed by a wahine (woman) as the powhiri (ritual of arrival) begins, allowing you to enter our hidden enclave. Listen to a tane (male) explain the customs of the Ngai Tahu tribe as you visit the Living Village and witness an ancient way of life where Maori struggled to survive in the harsh conditions of the most southerly of the Polynesian Pacific Islands. Learn about the coming of the Pakeha (fair-skinned ones), the changes Maori were forced to make from their traditional way of life and how the culture has grown and adapted as a result. Join in the laughter as you take part in a performance of the haka (men) or the poi dance (women), and be entertained by the songs and games performed by the kapa haka (Maori cultural performance) group. Take a guided New Zealand nature tour and get close to kiwi, kea and other native species housed in sensitively purpose-built environments. Enjoy a traditional hangi dinner included in the evenings activities.

The coach will return to your accommodation at the conclusion of the evening
