&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Kippa, also known as Richard Cannon, is an island blues musician best known for his lap slide guitar. A regular sight at island jams, you can see him at [[Charley Farley's]] and, at the newly rennovated Beachfront Cafe - see local press for details.&lt;br /&gt;
Kippa's musical story reaches back to the 1960s, when as a young muso, his first gig was to support Lee Scratch Perry, as The Soulman- a DJ, playing imported American soul music. Whilst lee spun rocksteady, and early Reggae, through ENORMOUS 28-inch speakers!!! Bass became essential after that early experience. Later Kippa was a guitar tec/roadie for bands such as The Tubes, Japan, Echo and the Bunnymen, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin to name but a few. Eleven years a Waiheechan, Kippa has recorded for Katy Soljak, Pat Urlich, Dione Denize, and also at York St. in Auckland city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Check out his [http://www.myspace.com/lapslideman MySpace page]where you can hear some of his music, including Mean Ol' Street.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;From when I was a young boy, the music never failed to captivate me, the wailing and screaming, wild vocals of all them old dudes who we grew up listening to.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montessori_method Montessori Method] was first brought to Waiheke in 1996 by Lee A Elliott. He established Waiheke Montessori Centre, to provide an education based on Dr. Maria Montessori's philosophy, for his own children, and the local community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Early Childhood section operated as a licensed Playgroup, and the Elementary class, as a legal Homeschooling Group - accountable to the Ministry of Education for curriculum approval. The grassroots, home-based feel, proved popular with a number of island personalities who wanted a less institutionalized education model for their children. Complimenting the long established Wardolf - Steiner programme at Fossil Bay Farm, the Centre gave parents a second, alternative schooling option based on an humanist, holistic philosophy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During its existence, a number of additional programmes were promoted by the Centre, including: The After School Club (bussing students from Te Huruhi for after school care), The Adventure Project (providing an educational summer programme), and the Children's Film Academy (entering in the 48-hour Film Festival).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Existing in a number of locations (once occupying [[Hekerua Lodge]]) the organization needed to continually cater to the needs, and size, of a fluctuating student body. With limited funding, and relying heavily on parental contributions, the Centre had to continually evolve and adapt. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eventual opening of a promising, second primary school on the island led to a drop in enrollments. That coupled with poor funding, meant that the Centre was no longer sustainable. The school finally closed its doors at the end of 2006.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

The Early Childhood section operated as a licensed Playgroup, and the Elementary class, as a legal Homeschooling Group - accountable to the Ministry of Education for curriculum approval. The grassroots, home-based feel, proved popular with a number of island personalities who wanted a less institutionalized education model for their children.

During its existence, a number of initiatives were promoted, including: The After School Club (busing students from Te Huruhi for after school care), The Adventure Project (providing an educational summer programme), and the Children's Film Academy (entering in the 48-hour Film Festival).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Existing in a number of locations (once occupying [[Hekerua Lodge]]) the organization needed to continually cater to the needs, and size, of a fluctuating enrolled body. With limited funding and relying heavily on parental contributions; the Centre had to continually evolve and adapt. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eventual opening of a promising, second primary school on the island led to a drop in enrollments. That coupled with poor funding, meant that the Centre was no longer sustainable. The school finally closed its doors at the end of 2006.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;Montessori education was first brought to Waiheke in 1996 by Lee A Elliott (trained at St. Nicholas Montessori Teacher's College, having formed his first school in Sweden).

But, also to provide a basis for the educational experience they wished for their unborn child.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Montessori education was first brought to Waiheke in 1996 by Lee A Elliott (trained at St. Nicholas Montessori Teacher's College, having formed his first school in Sweden). Waiheke Montessori Centre was formed by Lee, along with the support of his partner Kim, to provide education based on Dr. Maria Montessori's method to the local community. But, also to provide a basis for the educational experience they wished for their unborn child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The early childhood section operated as a licensed playgroup, and the elementary classes as a legal homeschooling group accountable to the NZ Ministry of Education for curriculum monitoring. The grassroots, home-based feel proved popular with a large number of families who wanted a less institutionalized education model for their children. Complementing the Wardolf - Steiner programme at Fossil Bay Farm, the Centre gave parents a second option based on a humanist, holistic approach to education. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Centre existed in a number of locations, once occupying [[Hekerua Lodge]], and needed to continually adapt to the needs of the enrolled body. With limited funding, the Centre relied heavily on parental contributions. The Centre eventually closed its doors at the end of 2006. The opening of a second primary school on the island led to a drop in enrollments. That coupled with poor funding, and the schools founder moving overseas, meant that the Centre was no longer sustainable.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
