Titirangi Primary School has this week been testing its new PA system and, judging by feedback from its neighbours, it's got some tweaking to do. The new PA system includes the option to ditch the traditional school bell in favour of playing a song instead. The school has been marking the beginning and end of classes with Patea Maori Club's classic "Poi E", played loudly over the new speakers. Some residents are not amused. "So sad, I used to love the song "Poi E" . Not anymore," one person posted in the local Facebook group. "What's wrong with using a regular old bell?" another local Titirangi resident commented. Titirangi Primary School Principal Julie Lynch told the Herald the school is currently testing the new PA system and aware of the issues residents have raised. "We had a really old system in the school. Over the summer we put in a new telephone system and came into the 21st century with Voice over IP. Whilst we were doing that we thought we'd update our PA system," Lynch explained. "We're on a multi-level site and there are areas where children couldn't hear announcements. For health and safety reasons, we needed a more up-to-date system," she added. The school has received feedback from numerous people in the community and will work with a technician to reposition the speakers so the sound doesn't travel quite as far outside the school grounds. "What we will need to do is review where our speakers are positioned," Lynch said. "Have had some feedback that is quite loud." As for why the school decided to ditch the traditional bell, it is all part of the offering with the new system. "It's different but a nice celebration of Māori culture, especially with Waitangi Day this week," she said. "It's a brand new system so we can do all sorts of different things. "After this week, I might have to have a look at different options."
The song chorus currently plays about six times a day, between 9am and 3pm, to make the start and end of classes, morning tea and lunch. "It's a health and safety issue, we need the children to hear it all across the school. "We apologise to the Titirangi community for yesterday, Waitangi Day, as it was going off. We're still working it all out," Lynch added.

Communications sent to the Herald suggest there has been a complete grab of Goff's inbox and sent folders. Among many other topics, they appear to include fundraising plans for Goff's mayoral bid, "confidential" polling data during last year's campaign and sensitive business information. The seller claims to have more than 15,000 emails from an Xtra account in Goff's name with the database spanning from 2007 to 2019. Evidence sent by the seller and examined by the Herald appears to confirm the claims. It is unknown if the seller has offered the emails to other businesses or individuals. Goff would not be interviewed over the alleged breach. In a statement, his chief of staff Nirupa George referred to the Herald revelation as an "alleged hack of his family email account". "Like thousands of other account holders across the country he assumed the service provider's email platform was secure. While the authenticity of the hack has not been verified, the Mayor has discontinued use of the email account and taken advice from experts. "This matter is now subject to investigation by the police and other relevant agencies." Information provided by the would-be seller of Goff's emails appears to show the mayor used his Xtra email address during the time he was a government minister, while leader of the Labour Party, as an MP and since becoming Mayor of Auckland. When asked how it was obtained, the person responded: "The data was forwarded to me by a friend. In email conversations, the person claimed: "I have every sent and received email from 2007 - Oct 2019 including all attachments. "Considering the amount of information and the exclusivity of it I think a fair price would be $20k NZD, but happy to negotiate." The media does not engage in chequebook journalism. Our editorial today explains the rationale of why referencing the emails is of strong public interest.
The media has told Goff's office it will not buy the database and has discontinued contact with the person claiming to hold the information. The person claiming to hold the database sent examples of the material and text files containing subject lines of documents claimed to be in the Inbox and Outbox of Goff's Xtra account. The subject lines in the material appear to show information from Goff's time as Minister of Defence in 2007 through to late 2019. It also shows the database apparently holds personal information, including medical information, personal finances and photographs. Among the emails provided were two dealing with campaign financing. One began with the line: "Team all emails should be on personal addresses or those that cannot be subject to an official information request". Goff appears to have received the email in his Xtra account and sent it to his executive assistant's email account at Parliament.The emails provided also included what appeared to be one sent to Goff as mayor and containing sensitive commercial information about a council transport contract. A purported attached document included specific dollar amounts bid for a transport contract. The media contacted Spark after it had confirmed the emails on offer were likely to be genuine. A spokeswoman for Spark, which provides customers with Xtra email accounts, said: "In line with our security protocols, when we were made aware of this issue we contacted the customer and suspended the account.
