HeadsUp
As the meeting frequency and email traffic settles down, it’s a welcome if brief period to return to the to-do lists and even a couple of long-languishing papers. But also to reflect on the year with gratitude.
We seem to have had a less turbulent teaching year. Yes, disappointment and adjustment with changed prospects for the Waipapa Taumata Rau (WTRSci ) course we collectively invested in so heavily. And frustration also that the work put into transdisciplinary courses hasn’t seen the promise anticipated. But with the course ‘optimisation’ process behind us I’ve felt a sense of consolidation. Enrolments in the ENV 10X courses have been encouraging and have vindicated our decision to be innovative. We can but hope we see good follow-through of students into our majors from that platform of shared cross-school experience. Big thanks to Joe Fagan and team for managing and documenting a very thorough reflection on this first year of delivery.
In terms of research, while Marsden results brought disappointments we’ve seen excellent successes by Environment people from other significant funding sources. And the recent hosting of geoscience and agri-foods conferences have shone light on research excellence in the School. Another very satisfying research-related development is the escalation of communicating findings and expert opinion in the media. It’s been hard to keep up with all the Newsroom and Conversation commentaries as well as interviews on RNZ and TVNZ. Communication can give impetus to collective as well as individual credibility so thanks to all who have taken time to write in a different register than we do for scholarly journals.
In terms of service, it’s been great to see colleagues step up and into new roles. Leadership needs to be shared for direction to be collectively owned. Thanks to Mila for agreeing to a term as DHoS (Education) and to those who carry other in-School leadership responsibility: the discipline leads (Melanie K, Nick and especially Michael R who completes his term); and platform leads (Joe, Tom and especially Emma R and James who stepped in while Sila has been on RSL). As a School we continue to make a significant contribution to leadership in the Faculty helping to ensure that it is an entity we very much part of: Sonia, Murray, Jenny in AD roles, and – I can now announce – Sila who has been appointed Assistant Dean Research. Congratulations!
While congratulating, you’ll have seen the Dean’s email so I would like to add a hearty “well done” to Emma S and Sila who have both been promoted to Associate Professor from 1st February. This is a significant promotion that reflects escalating international esteem and leadership in teaching, research and service. Excellent news.
Finally, but far from lastly, I would like to offer deep gratitude to two teams who facilitate so much of what we do, keeping us in an ‘enabling environment’ to quote one of the pillars of the Faculty plan. I refer to the Group Services and Technical Services Teams.
Thanks for all you do oiling the wheels of systems and processes to ensure that we and our students can all do what we do best when we need to.
Front of mind is last week’s End of Year gathering: It may have been wet in monsoon-like proportions but Michael G, Patricia, Anna and Michael S ensured that the show must go on and it did…and an enjoyable time was had by all.
I am on deck till 19th December, then in the new year, while I take a break Jenny Salmond will be Acting Head the week beginning 5th January and Mila the week beginning 12th January. For any emergency I will be mostly reachable on 021 136 1759.
So, thanks to all. Have a happy and safe festive season and summer break to follow

Announcements, Seminars & Events
Emails from students beginning with ‘Hey’
Hyesop Shin
Original article: NZ Herald
RNZ article
The original post came from the social media ‘Threads’, where the newly appointed lecturer at Victoria University Wellington, shared her blunt feeling about students writing emails with the greetings ‘Hey’.
Originally written in Korean, she felt that the students were not equipped with the tone-and-manner for writing emails, not about drawing the hierarchical relationship. The thread got translated to English and went viral, resulting in her going to various media interviews. The university’s provost professor Bryony James saying “so long as correspondence is not ill-mannered, then an informal tone can be quite acceptable”. However, in her threads, she mentioned that she is receiving messages either disagreeing with her point or heart feelingly supportive.
The tone of emails was already being debated a decade ago. In 2011, the BBC published a very palpable article titled “Should e-mails open with Dear, Hi, or Hey?” (https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-12247262). The article points out that emails are transitioning to a more text-based form compared to 40 years ago, which in someways is true. These days, we seem to value communication that is precise, quick to read, and straight to the point.
Me, myself, I do receive emails from undergraduates around 20 year olds with the “Hey” greeting. Coming from a Confucian-influenced upbringing and having been trained at a very traditional university founded in 1209, where every message began with “Dear”, those hey greetings were initially quite jarring when I first started the job here (I literally hiccupped). While I still feel that the students need a bit more context and rapport before jumping into a super casual tone, I have started to see these greetings less as breaking the rules and more as students trying to be open and friendly.
Maybe some have different opinions to say, but a very interesting topic to discuss over coffee!

Health, Safety & Wellbeing
Measles Outbreak in New Zealand Sparks Urgent Health Warnings
Health authorities are urging New Zealanders to check their immunisation status as the country grapples with its worst measles outbreak in two years. Thirty confirmed cases have been reported nationwide since mid-October, with clusters in Auckland, Wellington, and Queenstown. While no new cases were recorded over the weekend, officials warn the risk of further spread remains high as the busy holiday season approaches. [rnz.co.nz], [newstalkzb.co.nz], [tewhatuora.govt.nz]
Locations of Interest and Public Advisory
Health New Zealand has identified multiple “locations of interest” where people may have been exposed, including Auckland bars on Karangahape Road, Queenstown retail outlets, and large events such as the RÜFÜS DU SOL concert at Western Springs Stadium. Ferry sailings between Wellington and Picton have also been flagged. Anyone who visited these sites during specified times is urged to call Healthline (0800 611 116) immediately and self-isolate until advised. [rnz.co.nz], [newstalkzb.co.nz]
Vaccination Drive Intensifies
Since the first case on October 18, more than 60,000 doses of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine have been administered—nearly triple the rate before the outbreak. Public health experts stress that immunisation is the best defence, noting that two doses provide 99% protection. Babies under 12 months, pregnant individuals, and those who are immunocompromised remain particularly vulnerable. [rnz.co.nz], [tewhatuora.govt.nz]
Why the Surge?
Officials attribute the outbreak to low vaccination coverage, which has dropped to 77.5% among under-18s, far below the 95% needed for herd immunity. Increased travel and large gatherings during the holiday season could accelerate transmission. Health NZ is urging anyone planning domestic or international travel to confirm their vaccination status and get protected before departure. [en.wikipedia.org], [tewhatuora.govt.nz]
Symptoms and Precautions
Measles is highly contagious and can cause serious complications. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, sore red eyes, and a rash starting on the face. Anyone experiencing these signs should stay home and contact Healthline or their healthcare provider before visiting clinics to prevent further spread. [tewhatuora.govt.nz]
Protect yourself and your community—get vaccinated today! Measles is highly contagious and can lead to serious complications, but two doses of the MMR vaccine provide nearly complete protection. If you’re unsure of your immunisation status, now is the time to act. Vaccination is free and available at your local GP or health clinic. By getting vaccinated, you’re not only safeguarding your own health but also helping prevent the spread to vulnerable groups like babies and those with weakened immune systems. Don’t wait—check your records and book your appointment now!
Staying Safe During the Festive Season: Your Essential Guide
As summer celebrations kick off across New Zealand, health and safety experts are reminding everyone to enjoy the festive season responsibly. Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue, heading to the beach, or gathering around a bonfire, a few simple precautions can make all the difference.
Water Safety
New Zealand’s beaches and lakes are popular holiday destinations, but water can be unforgiving. Always swim between the flags at patrolled beaches, keep a close eye on children, and never mix alcohol with swimming or boating. If you’re using watercraft, wear a life jacket and check weather conditions before heading out.
Sun Protection
The Kiwi sun is strong, and UV levels soar during summer. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every two hours, wear a hat and sunglasses, and seek shade during peak hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Staying hydrated is just as important—carry water wherever you go.
Drink Responsibly
Festive gatherings often include alcohol, but moderation is key. Pace yourself, alternate drinks with water, and never drink and drive. Arrange a sober driver or use public transport to get home safely.
Food and Fire Safety
Barbecues and bonfires are holiday staples, but they come with risks. Keep flammable items away from open flames, never leave a fire unattended, and have a bucket of water or extinguisher nearby. When preparing food, wash hands thoroughly, cook meat to safe temperatures, and keep raw and cooked items separate to avoid contamination.
How to Safely Put Out Fires Caused by Fats or Combustibles While Cooking
Fires involving cooking oils or fats are extremely dangerous because they ignite quickly and can spread if handled incorrectly. Here’s what to do:
- Turn Off the Heat Immediately If it’s safe, switch off the stove or burner to stop feeding the fire.
- Never Use Water Pouring water on a fat or oil fire will cause the burning liquid to splatter and spread, making the fire much worse.
- Smother the Flames
- Use a metal lid or baking tray to cover the pan and cut off oxygen.
- If you have salt or baking soda, you can gently pour it over the flames (never use flour—it can ignite).
- Use a Fire Blanket or Class F Fire Extinguisher
- A fire blanket is ideal for small kitchen fires.
- For larger fires, use a Class F fire extinguisher (designed for cooking oils and fats).
- Keep Your Distance If the fire is spreading or you cannot control it quickly, evacuate immediately and call emergency services (111 in NZ).
Enjoy the Season Safely
The festive season is about fun and togetherness—don’t let accidents spoil it. By following these simple steps, you can protect yourself and those around you while making the most of summer celebrations.
