Call for new<br />
bus stops<br />
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />
LINWOOD residents are<br />
angry that two major bus<br />
stops in their area have<br />
been overlooked while<br />
others around the city are<br />
being upgraded.<br />
Bus patrons are keen to<br />
see the stops receive the<br />
same upgrades as those<br />
at Westfield Riccarton<br />
and Northlands Shopping<br />
Centre.<br />
A city council spokeswoman<br />
said the Buckleys<br />
Rd bus stops, outside<br />
Eastgate Shopping Centre,<br />
were the fourth most used<br />
in the city in terms of<br />
passengers boarding and<br />
departing buses, between<br />

The three most popular<br />
were the city centre interchange,<br />
the Riccarton<br />
Rd interchange, and the<br />
Northlands’ hub, she said.<br />
Bus user Chris Minogue<br />
said he wanted to see a<br />
Northlands-style bus<br />
shelter installed at the<br />
stop across the road from<br />
Eastgate.<br />
“It needs to be longer,<br />
sheltered, and without<br />
glass that can be broken.<br />
There’s no point in having<br />
glass windows because<br />
they’re broken every time I<br />
come here,” he said.<br />
Hagley-Ferrymead<br />
Community Board chairwoman<br />
Sara Templeton<br />
said a bus stop with so<br />
much use should be high<br />
on the city council’s priorities<br />
for an upgrade.<br />
“We’ve asked the new<br />
transport committee or<br />
the city council to look at<br />
all options for putting in a<br />
covered, integrated bus hub<br />
in the area. There’s a nice<br />
one at both Riccarton and<br />
Northlands, and we want<br />
the same here,” she said.<br />
Mrs Templeton agreed<br />
with Mayor Lianne<br />
Dalziel, who last week<br />
said she had an issue with<br />
the little control the city<br />
council had when it came<br />
to public transport in the<br />
city.<br />

week with all five days selling out. The circus is run by Mim and Danny Syme who<br />

Do you own a property<br />
with unrepaired<br />
earthquake damage?<br />
Have your say on the<br />
Christchurch City Council’s draft<br />
Ōtautahi Christchurch has a long-standing history<br />
of welcoming people from different cultures.<br />
To help ensure the Christchurch City Council continues<br />
to support the growing diversity of people in Ōtautahi<br />
Christchurch, we’ve drafted a Multicultural Strategy.<br />
If you don’t want to pay more rates to<br />
Christchurch City Council than you need to,<br />
tell QV about any unrepaired earthquake damage<br />
so your new rating valuation is fair and accurate.<br />
You just need to let us know about unrepaired<br />
damage that could affect your property’s sale price.<br />
Find out more at ccc.govt.nz/revaluation,<br />
report damage on QV's website ratingvalues.co.nz<br />
or call QV on 0800 786 822.<br />
You can read the draft Strategy online at<br />

Community centre stalled<br />
• By Siobhan Watson and<br />
Andrew King<br />
THE NEW Shirley<br />
Community Centre will not<br />
receive funding from a church<br />
after a community board<br />
elected to reject its proposal.<br />
The Crossway Community<br />
Church proposed to the<br />
Shirley-Papanui Community<br />
Board that a collaboration between<br />
the church and the city<br />
council be used to fund and<br />
maintain the new centre.<br />
The board rejected the proposal<br />
with a 4-3 vote at a recent<br />
meeting.<br />
Church secretary Pat White<br />
said although they were disappointed<br />
with the outcome, they<br />
have other options in place for<br />
the church’s location.<br />
“It would have been nice to<br />
get an answer sooner than this<br />
. . . but that is the way it is, now<br />
we just have to move on,” she<br />
said.<br />
Board chairman Mike<br />
Davidson said he was “uncomfortable”<br />
with the level of<br />
investment needed by the city<br />
council to make it work with<br />
the church.<br />
“The council would need to<br />
invest around $1.5m for the<br />
building itself and further<br />
funding for land remediation,”<br />
he said<br />
He said it was possible the<br />
required funds could top $2m.<br />
“That would be a lot of<br />
money to spend on a centre<br />
in partnership with a church<br />
. . . I don’t have any problem<br />
with the organisation, I am just<br />
uncomfortable about the level<br />
of investment,” he said.<br />
Cr Pauline Cotter also shared<br />
this sentiment, saying she was<br />
not happy with the terms of the<br />
agreement.<br />
She said the proposed<br />
amount of funding contributed<br />
by the city council and the<br />
church seemed to be 50/50, but<br />
the ownership was not equal.<br />
The plan now is to replicate<br />
some of the learnings the board<br />
had while getting the St Albans<br />
Community Centre off the<br />
ground.<br />
“It will probably start with a<br />
working party to find out what<br />
the community wants and<br />
needs. From there, things start<br />
to take off pretty quickly,” Mr<br />
Davidson said.<br />
He could not give a definitive<br />
time frame around when<br />
a working party would be<br />
formed, but the board is looking<br />
at its options to start sooner<br />
rather than later.<br />
STILL WAITING:<br />
The Shirley<br />
Community<br />
Centre will not<br />
be a joint venture<br />
with a local<br />
church, as the<br />
community board<br />
has decided it is<br />
not in the best<br />
interests of the<br />
community. (Left)<br />

FROM FIJI<br />
McMaster & Heap<br />
Veterinary practice<br />
Thought I’d write a slightly different<br />
article….<br />
I’m in Fiji for ITF tennis with my son<br />
Dylan for 2 weeks and I’ve never been<br />
to Fiji before. An interesting, warm place<br />
with splendid people. I’ve met some<br />
great folk and seen some great tennis<br />
and seen plenty of animals I so want to<br />
help. We have had our share of ups and<br />
downs on the tennis<br />
court ( cramping<br />
and a pulled<br />
hamstring) and at our<br />
resort ( leaking air<br />
conditioning units,<br />
power cuts, no Wifi<br />
as promised), but<br />
all has been sorted<br />
eventually and has<br />
made for a real travel<br />
experience, one I’ll<br />
never forget.<br />
We are a reasonable drive from the tennis so<br />
it’s been a 45 minute car drive filled of daily<br />
adventures. We have had goats and cows just<br />
traverse the road in front of us, speeding cars<br />
and then ones that sit at 35km/hour and you<br />
can’t pass them as passing lanes are rare. We<br />
have seen a road traffic accident with fatalities<br />
sadly. Fijians just<br />
aim casually along<br />
the sides of the<br />
roads waiting to be<br />
picked up for work<br />
or getting places on<br />
foot. Everyone looks<br />
happy and relaxed in<br />
sparkling clean attire,<br />
yet there is brown<br />
dust everywhere that<br />
infiltrates everything.<br />
The school children<br />
look fantastic in<br />
often starched<br />
white uniforms and<br />
clamber on the open<br />
aired buses, arms<br />
hanging out the<br />
sides, laughing. The drivers are hugely<br />
considerate, almost dangerously so,<br />
slowing right down to let cars cross in<br />
the middle of a busy open road. No<br />
one is in a hurry and everyone is up and<br />
rearing to go at 6.30am, waiting to be<br />
picked up for work. Not many people<br />
here own cars and taxis are everywhere.<br />
The dogs touch my heart though. There<br />
are so many that aimlessly wander all<br />
over the place – in towns, sides of roads,<br />
the tennis center and outside homes.<br />
No one takes responsibility for them as the<br />
breeding is rampant and out of control. None<br />
are desexed so there are puppies everywhere.<br />
They are scarily thin, bloated with worms,<br />
crawling with fleas and ticks and hungry. They<br />
still manage a tail wag though and I’ve even<br />
managed to pat a few. I’m feeding them bread<br />
and one square meals and they are so gently<br />
accepting food. Many of them have sores all<br />
over their bodies, no hair and many are feeding<br />
puppies. Ive hardly seen any cats, except ones<br />
that have unfortunately been squashed on the<br />
roads. The grazing tethered cows look friendly<br />
but on approaching them, they show me the<br />
whites of their eyes and lower their heads to<br />
charge. I have met a local Fijian Architect who<br />
is building a Veterinary Hospital In Nadi, funded<br />

by a wealthy<br />
American couple<br />
who want to help<br />
the companion<br />
animals here.<br />
There is a small<br />
SPCA clinic in<br />
Lautoka but no<br />
surgeries can be<br />
performed there.<br />
The only clinic is in<br />
Suva where short<br />
anaesthetics can<br />
be performed. I<br />
think Steve and<br />
I would be keen<br />
to come back<br />
here and offer our<br />
expertise and help these animals and<br />
train some of the vets here. We’d bring<br />
equipment and supplies with us next<br />
time.<br />
I have befriended a fantastic group of Fijian<br />
children at the Lautoka tennis club. They are<br />
aged between 7 and 12 years of age and get<br />
tennis coaching for free on Sundays, racquets<br />
and balls provided by the club. None of them<br />
have shoes to play in, most are from very poor<br />
families and tennis is an expensive sport. I<br />
went out and bought 10 pairs of sports shoes<br />
of different sizes for them<br />
to be kept at the club and<br />
used for the children that<br />
need them. They were all<br />
so grateful. Dylan is back<br />
in August so I’ll send back<br />
most of the boys old tennis<br />
tops for the kids to enjoy<br />
playing in. If they progress<br />
at tennis it could be a way<br />
out for these children.<br />
I won’t<br />
forget my 2<br />
weeks here.<br />
Everybody<br />
thought I<br />
wouldn’t like<br />
Fiji at all, but<br />
the openness<br />
and genuine<br />
friendliness<br />
and interest<br />
shown<br />
by these<br />
people have<br />
made this<br />
experience<br />
one I’ll never<br />
forget. I feel<br />
Steve, Isaac<br />
and I can make a difference to these people in<br />
educating them on respecting and caring for<br />
their pets, when we next return. It makes you<br />
really realize how priviledged and wealthy we<br />
all are. Giving back a little feels good.<br />
Just an update on Indie, the White German<br />
Shepherd, who managed to deliver 8 little<br />
wriggley white pups on her own ( 6 boys and<br />
2 girls) on 16th June. All are doing well, she is<br />
an exceptional mother and my friend Mala<br />
is realizing how big a responsibility and job<br />
breeding is. All pups have homes – 6 will be<br />
staying in Christchurch and 2 heading North.<br />

Critical thinking shortage<br />
Kennedy’s<br />
Bush<br />
resident<br />
Graham<br />
Townsend<br />
writes this<br />
week’s<br />
opinion piece about<br />
the lack of critical<br />
thinking when it<br />
comes to topics such<br />
as climate change<br />
I’ve spent a lifetime<br />
teaching science.<br />
If you define science to<br />
include critical thinking,<br />
I count the efforts of New<br />
Zealand as a total failure.<br />
Why?<br />
Because critical thinking<br />
is the ability to examine<br />
evidence and conflicting<br />
claims without allowing<br />
prejudices or personal<br />
interest to intrude.<br />
And critical thinking,<br />
sadly, is in seriously short<br />
supply today.<br />
This is what the<br />
pioneering psychologist<br />
William James meant<br />
when he said that “A great<br />
many people think they<br />
are thinking, when they<br />
are merely rearranging<br />
their prejudices.”<br />
An example: climate<br />
change.<br />
Comment threads and<br />
twitter feeds are full of unsupported<br />
prejudice rather<br />
than fact.<br />
“Climate change is not<br />
happening”; “scientists<br />
are all lying to get more<br />
funding for their research”;<br />
“climate always changes,<br />
it’s not our fault”; “we are<br />
due for a new ice age so<br />
climate change is good”.<br />
People who post this<br />
rubbish ignore that fact<br />
that science is a merciless<br />
process of critically analysing<br />
both the raw data and<br />
the predictions made from<br />
them.<br />
I invite any lay-person<br />
who thinks they can do<br />
better to submit their own<br />
analysis to the global science<br />
community.<br />
Fame and possibly fortune<br />
awaits you if you can<br />
prove the current consensus<br />
wrong.<br />
So why do these denier<br />
memes refuse to die?<br />
Simply because we can’t<br />
face the conclusion that we<br />
PEGASUS POST<br />
– all of us – are changing<br />
the climate.<br />
That unpleasant fact hits<br />
at the heart of our whole<br />
lifestyle: our love affair<br />
with cars, jet skis, quad<br />
bikes and flying.<br />
So the hands go over the<br />
ears and we start coming<br />
up with excuses and lies.<br />
Let me state this clearly:<br />
every major national science<br />
academy around the<br />
world has examined the<br />
evidence and they are all<br />
seriously concerned.<br />
So what do we do?<br />
Individual actions are<br />
not enough – we need policy<br />
changes at a national<br />
and international level.<br />
Politicians generally follow<br />
public opinion – they<br />
will do nothing until we<br />
demand action.<br />
And that won’t happen<br />
until enough of us face the<br />
truth.<br />
That brings me back<br />
to education and critical<br />
thinking.<br />
H.G Wells famously said<br />
“Human history becomes<br />
more and more a race<br />
between education and<br />
catastrophe”.<br />
That’s never been truer<br />
or more urgent than today.<br />

Rise in water quality<br />
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />
A SOUTHSHORE community<br />
leader says improvement in water<br />
quality around the estuary is a<br />
step in the right direction.<br />
New data has been released by<br />
Environment Canterbury showing<br />
gradual improvements in<br />
water quality for sites on the east.<br />
The report showed the quality<br />
of water for the last year at high<br />
tide in Caspian St, Penguin St,<br />
South New Brighton Park, Sandy<br />
Point, Humphreys Drive,<br />
Beachville Rd jetty, Ferrymead<br />
Bridge, Shag Rock, and Cave<br />
Rock.<br />
Each site was given a very poor,<br />
poor, fair, good, or very good<br />
score, depending on the contents<br />
of the sampled water, some of<br />
which included bacteria, faecal<br />
matter, chlorophyll a, and many<br />
other contaminants.<br />
Caspian St was one of the best<br />
of the five eastern sampled sites,<br />
with a score of 74.6 out of 100.<br />
South Brighton Residents’<br />
Association chairman Hugo<br />
Kristinsson said it was a step in<br />
the right direction.<br />
“The water quality in this area<br />
has improved, but that improvement<br />
is not man made. It has<br />
solved some problems but generated<br />
others that haven’t been<br />
dealt with. There are a lot of steps<br />
IMPROVEMENT: Water samples from Caspian St and Penguin<br />
St in South New Brighton are the pick of the bunch, according<br />
to new data.<br />
to be taken further down the<br />
line. There needs to be sustainable<br />
planning,” he said.<br />
Author of the report Lesley<br />
Bolton-Ritchie said sites on the<br />
south side of the estuary like<br />
Beachville Rd jetty would always<br />
have a higher score than sites on<br />
the north and eastern banks.<br />
“The closer to the estuary<br />
mouth you are, the more tidal<br />
influence there is. It’s healthier<br />
for aquatic life on the other side<br />
of the estuary, and also for swimming,”<br />
she said.<br />
Mrs Bolton-Ritchie said the<br />
Penguin St site was on the rise as<br />
well, due to its proximity to the<br />
estuary mouth.<br />
“Penguin St is pretty good, just<br />
because it’s closer to the river<br />
mouth . . . the only one of those<br />
sites that isn’t that flash is the<br />
South New Brighton Park site,”<br />
she said.<br />
Penguin St was rated the highest<br />
eastern site with a score of<br />
75.3. South New Brighton Park<br />
got a ‘poor’ rating of 51.6. Sandy<br />
Point had a ‘poor’ rating, and<br />
scored 41.2. The Bridge St Bridge<br />
scored a ‘poor rating’ of 46.<br />
Pop up library<br />
THE NEW Brighton Library<br />
will be closing on August 1, but<br />
not for long.<br />
A temporary library will open<br />
its doors at 60 Brighton Mall<br />
just two weeks after the bigger<br />
library closes its doors.<br />
New Brighton Library is expected<br />
to reopen early next year.<br />
Work to be done includes<br />
repairing the concrete columns<br />
and floors, replacing the eastfacing<br />
first-floor windows, painting<br />
the exterior and putting in<br />
new carpet.<br />
City council community<br />
libraries manager Erica Rankin<br />
said the library had sustained<br />
“moderate” earthquake damage<br />
in 2011, but would be quickly<br />
repaired.<br />
“New Brighton Library is a<br />
popular locale, certainly with<br />
the most striking setting and<br />
views of any library in our<br />
network, and it’s going to be<br />
getting the tender loving care it<br />
deserves,” she said.<br />
Mrs Rankin said it was<br />
important the community had<br />
a temporary location while the<br />
works were being carried out.<br />
“The New Brighton community<br />
are incredibly engaged<br />
library-users, and the decision<br />
to set up shop in New Brighton<br />
. . . means that they get that allimportant<br />
stability,” she said.<br />
The temporary location will<br />
offer a small collection, including<br />
all the usual items for borrowing,<br />
plus eight free internet<br />
computers. The opening hours<br />
will be the same and pre-school<br />
sessions will continue as normal.<br />
Because it will take library<br />
staff about two weeks to clear<br />
New Brighton Library and set up<br />
at the temporary location, there<br />
will be a period from August 1<br />
to 14 where no library services<br />
will be available.<br />

Young leader’s social equality vision<br />
Parklands resident Josiah Tualamali’i is a 21-year-old<br />
on the US Embassy Youth Council, the chairman of<br />
a Pacific youth leadership group and a Canterbury<br />
University student. Fraser Walker-Pearce talks to him<br />
about superhero shows, how he became a leader for<br />
Pasifika youth in Christchurch, and meeting NASA’s<br />
deputy director<br />
Hi Josiah. What have you been<br />
up to recently?<br />
Among other things, we<br />
organised for about 280 young<br />
people to come to the Transitional<br />
Cathedral on June 30. It<br />
was organised by some of my<br />
friends and I to generate ideas<br />
about decision-making and<br />
just gather for some food and<br />
a brainstorm session. It was a<br />
really fun night with food and<br />
ideas being shared.<br />
Sounds good. Can you tell me<br />
a bit about PYLAT?<br />
PYLAT stands for Pacific<br />
Youth Leadership and Transformation.<br />
It’s a charitable trust that<br />
supports young people in the<br />
Pacific community, and helps to<br />
make the Pacific youth aware of<br />
opportunities in the community.<br />
And you’re also part of the<br />
United States Embassy Youth<br />
Council. What exactly is that?<br />
Canterbury University and<br />
all universities in New Zealand<br />
hand-pick a number of students<br />
who are then checked by the US<br />
Embassy. So they’re gathering<br />
youth leaders who have access<br />
to different communities in the<br />
city, so the embassy can keep<br />
the finger on the pulse of youth<br />
groups in the city.<br />
So do you have meetings with<br />
the embassy often? And what<br />
happens with that information?<br />
They communicate what we<br />
tell them back to Washington,<br />
because one of Obama’s foreign<br />
policy focuses was to do a Pacific<br />
pivot, gathering up all knowledge<br />
on what’s going on in Pacific<br />
countries. The Trans-Pacific<br />
Partnership Agreement was part<br />
of it, but it was also about bettering<br />
relationships with Pacific<br />
communities. So there are 12<br />
leaders in Canterbury for that,<br />
and I am one of them. We have<br />
a meeting every now and then<br />
Previously<br />
United Travel<br />
with different diplomats, business<br />
leaders and ex-pats. They<br />
help us, and we give them our<br />
knowledge about what’s going<br />
on. It’s kind of cool this week on<br />
Saturday, because we’re actually<br />
meeting with the deputy director<br />
of NASA, and it’s especially<br />
cool because she’s a woman.<br />
We don’t even know why we’re<br />
meeting with her! It’s especially<br />
interesting because of an event<br />
we held last week, where we were<br />
hoping to bridge gaps, like giving<br />
women equal visibility, opportunities<br />
and platforms to excel.<br />
And now we get to meet one of<br />
the top women in NASA. It’s a<br />
secret meeting which we don’t<br />
know much about. We could be<br />
talking about Mars, we could be<br />
talking about anything, it’s very<br />
exciting.<br />
What inspired you to become<br />
a youth voice for the Pacific<br />
community?<br />
I think it was probably the<br />
youth parliament that we had before<br />
the earthquakes. It was that<br />
others took the time to tell me<br />
that I could make a difference. I<br />
guess I was in the right place, at<br />
the right time. Just good people<br />
being around me.<br />
How long have you been<br />
involved with PYLAT?<br />
I’ve been chairman for three<br />
years now, so I started my second<br />
two-year term last year, after I<br />
was re-elected. Before the earthquakes<br />
in 2010, the Pacific community<br />
held a staged youth government<br />
because they noticed<br />
there weren’t many youth voices<br />
in decision-making at the time.<br />
And we loved it so much that<br />
after the earthquakes, we kind<br />
of thought, well, how do we keep<br />
it going after the earthquakes?<br />
So we made it into the trust it is<br />
now. We now have 13 trustees,<br />
with about two-thirds of that as<br />
YOUNG LEADER: Josiah Tualamali’i at the Get FRESH ‘16<br />
event, showing Pasifika students around Canterbury University.<br />
youth and students, and young<br />
professionals make up the rest.<br />
Are you striving to see<br />
Christchurch’s youth have a bigger<br />
input into decision making?<br />
Yes, absolutely, so what we say<br />
in PYLAT is that Pacific young<br />
people have valid information<br />
and ideas that can be useful at<br />
any level. That could be for the<br />
Government, non-government<br />
organisations, anything, but<br />
there’s a big trust element in it.<br />
It can be tough to trust that a<br />
young person can have input to<br />
these conversations, while being<br />
respectful and articulate. I really<br />
liked last year seeing the flag<br />
panel had a young person on it.<br />
You do all of this work for<br />
youth and on boards, do you<br />
have any spare time at all? Any<br />
hobbies?<br />
Yes, I really like to sing. I used<br />
to sing in a choir, but now I just<br />
2017 Early Birds<br />
sing when I’m pottering around<br />
the flat and doing things. I also<br />
like watching TV programmes,<br />
anything with heroes really. The<br />
Arrow and Flash series are the<br />
best ones and I go to the movies<br />
a bit, too. I like to think that we<br />
don’t need a super power to do<br />
cool things in our community,<br />
and it’s cool to watch the people<br />
that we pretend we are, and do<br />
those amazing things.<br />
Where are you flatting for<br />
university?<br />
I flat in Ilam, but my family<br />
home is in Parklands. I just went<br />
back to my flat last night. It’s<br />
all a bit busy, because I also do<br />
some work on campus for Pacific<br />
young people, tutoring them to<br />
help them get their NCEA levels.<br />
It’s cool to see that Canterbury<br />
University cares about getting<br />
them over the line and offering<br />
those classes.<br />
Oh right, so what subjects do<br />
you tutor?<br />
I tutor history, English and<br />
drama. Those were the ones I<br />
was quite good at during school.<br />
It’s also a cool project because<br />
the students can go on to tertiary<br />
education if they want, because<br />
they have the qualifications.<br />
Why were history and English<br />
your favourites at school?<br />
I really liked understanding<br />
why we’re at the place we are<br />
now through our history. Also,<br />
learning about colonisation,<br />
racism, and all of those words<br />
that get thrown around these<br />
days. It’s also quite important to<br />
me because my mum is Palagi<br />
(Samoan word for European),<br />
and my father is Samoan. So for<br />
me, it was quite hard when I was<br />
young to work out my own identity.<br />
After all the classes in history<br />
and English, I kind of learnt<br />
what was right and wrong for me<br />
through those classes. Growing<br />
up as a Pacific person, I could<br />
understand the benefits, and the<br />
strengths of those people.<br />
What high school did you<br />
attend?<br />
I went to Hillview Christian<br />
School for years 9 and 10, then<br />
to Middleton Grange School for<br />
years 11 to 13.<br />
And what primary school?<br />
I actually went to primary<br />
school in Dunedin, to Anderson’s<br />
Bay School for the first few<br />
years, then to Hillview for the<br />
other half of primary.<br />
You study history and politics<br />
at university, so what job would<br />
you have if you could just pick<br />
one and start tomorrow?<br />
I can’t give one answer to that<br />
really. I’d want to be the CEO of<br />
a company that works with Pacific<br />
people and uses the knowledge<br />
the community has taught<br />
me. I’d want to increase the participation<br />
and involvement of the<br />
community. The only problem<br />
is that I don’t know if that kind<br />
of job exits yet. I wouldn’t mind<br />
working in the university for a<br />
while, and I’m enjoying tutoring<br />
at the moment. I could definitely<br />
see myself teaching others as<br />
well.<br />

Inmates help feed the homeless<br />
INMATES FROM Christchurch<br />
Men’s Prison have grown more<br />
than 2300kg of vegetables and<br />
herbs, as well as 3400 seedlings,<br />
for a very worthy cause.<br />
Over the past 10 months, men<br />
from Tirohanga Paeroa Unit<br />
have built vegetable gardens, and<br />
grown and contributed vegetables<br />
and seedlings to those in<br />
need. The programme has been<br />
undertaken with assistance from<br />
charity group, Help for the<br />
Homeless.<br />
Prison residential manager<br />
Graeme Hunter said the men<br />
wanted to keep busy and do<br />
something that would make a<br />
difference for people in need in<br />
the community.<br />
“The new gardens seemed the<br />
perfect way to do something<br />
useful with the land around the<br />
unit, engage the men in a helpful<br />
Youth offenders targeted in health partnership<br />
CORRECTIONS AND kaupapa<br />
Maori health provider Purapura<br />
Whetu have partnered to deliver<br />
better health outcomes and<br />
“crime-free futures” for youth<br />
offenders.<br />
Purapura Whetu will provide<br />
a wraparound service for<br />
Maori youth offenders and their<br />
whanau, aiming to connect them<br />
activity while they learnt useful<br />
lifestyle and, potentially, employable<br />
skills,” he said.<br />
Those who work in the garden<br />
gain credits towards a National<br />
Certificate in Horticulture qualification.<br />
The initiative has already<br />
proved a success for one prisoner.<br />
In his mid-40s, he has a<br />
background in crop farming and<br />
market gardens.<br />
He has been involved in the<br />
project from the start and has<br />
taken on a leadership role in the<br />
gardens.<br />
to their culture and traditions.<br />
Maori offenders make up 43.7<br />
per cent of people on community<br />
sentences in the country.<br />
This is the first time Canterbury<br />
Corrections has partnered with a<br />
health provider specifically to provide<br />
targeted services for at-risk<br />
Maori youth offenders.<br />
Corrections Canterbury district<br />
manager Lisa Joseph said:<br />
“We are working together to<br />
intervene and steer this group of<br />
youth toward better health outcomes<br />
and crime-free futures.”<br />
Purapura Whetu chief executive<br />
Karaitiana Tickell said its<br />
goal was to empower tangata<br />
whaiora (people seeking wellness).<br />
GARDEN TIME:<br />
Prisoners from<br />
the Tirohanga<br />
Paeroa Unit<br />
have built<br />
vegetable<br />
gardens to<br />
grow food to<br />
help feed the<br />
homeless. <br />
“I mentor others through the<br />
practical aspects of the course<br />
– weeding, turning soil over,<br />
planting seedlings into seed<br />
trays. Some of the men have a<br />
limited knowledge of gardening,<br />
but there is a correct way to do<br />
these things, to grow the best<br />
“By connecting Maori youth<br />
to their culture, traditions and<br />
values of our tupuna (ancestors),<br />
we are helping them to better<br />
understand and take ownership<br />
of their mental, physical and spiritual<br />
health,” she said.<br />
It would also connect youth<br />
offenders to health support, education,<br />
employment, housing and<br />
produce,” he said.<br />
Help for the Homeless was<br />
founded in 2014 by Amy Burke,<br />
of New Brighton, who saw<br />
homeless people hungry, cold, or<br />
going through rubbish bins in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
“Produce from the prison<br />
gardens is delivered to [Help for<br />
the Homeless] cooks who create<br />
dishes for our locals,” Ms Burke.<br />
“We also provide support to<br />
the recently housed, including<br />
youth and any family going<br />
through hardship. This filters to<br />
schools and community organisations,<br />
depending on surplus.”<br />
The 3400 seedlings, grown as<br />
part of the NZQA horticulture<br />
course, were given to the charity<br />
for their ‘recently housed’ homeless.<br />
This will enable them to learn<br />
to live off the land, too.<br />
transport, she said.<br />
Ms Joseph said: “It makes sense<br />
in terms of both our services to<br />
take the opportunity – while<br />
these youth are on sentence – to<br />
connect them with good health<br />
practices and to also look at addressing<br />
some of the lifestyle and<br />
health issues which may impact<br />
their offending.”<br />
AFTER YOU FEEL<br />
AN EARTHQUAKE,<br />
CHANCES ARE<br />
YOU CHECK THE<br />
GEONET APP<br />
GeoNet helps us all to make<br />
our communities safer.<br />
We live in the shaky isles and that means we need a high-tech<br />
monitoring system to detect and measure geological hazards<br />
like earthquakes.<br />
Fifteen years ago, the Earthquake Commission collaborated<br />
with GNS Science to create the world leading GeoNet system.<br />
Today, its skilled team uses a network of more than 600 sensors<br />
across New Zealand to detect, analyse and respond to<br />
earthquakes, volcanic activity and other geological hazards.<br />
The successful partnership between EQC and GNS continues<br />
to thrive. EQC currently provides around $12 million a year in<br />
funding. In turn, GeoNet data helps EQC to assess the risks<br />
from natural hazards, and that helps keep Kiwi household levies<br />
affordable at 15c for every $100 worth of cover.<br />
GeoNet informs New Zealanders about natural hazards.<br />
Its data is vital to many diverse users from power providers and<br />
air traffic controllers to forest owners and insurers. The quality<br />
and availability of GeoNet data also attracts some of the best<br />
brains in the world, giving a boost to local research that would<br />
otherwise not be possible.<br />
GeoNet is part of EQC’s research and education programme.<br />

helped the Canterbury under-17<br />
A team to their best ever finish at<br />
last week’s national tournament<br />
in Auckland.<br />
Canterbury A defeated Waitakere<br />
West 69-65 on Saturday in<br />
the third/fourth play-off game.<br />
It was the best ever finish for a<br />
Canterbury under-17 boys’ team<br />
at a national tournament.<br />
Jeffrey helped the team go<br />
undefeated in pool play.<br />
He then scored seven points in<br />
Canterbury’s 116-68 demolition<br />
of Porirua Capital in the quarterfinal.<br />
Canterbury lost to eventual<br />
tournament winners Harbour A<br />
in the semi-final.<br />
The Canterbury B boys squad<br />
finished the 20-team tournament<br />
in 13th spot, defeating Tauranga<br />
City 100-69 in their final game.<br />
The Canterbury girls’ team<br />
finished in 10th spot at the tournament.<br />
Jeffrey will now turn his attention<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />
Self help for<br />
knocks, sprains and strains<br />
Knocks, bangs, strains and sprains are part of normal day-today<br />
life, especially with sport and recreational activity.<br />
DOING tHE right things early (within the<br />
first 48 hours) can often settle mild injuries<br />
without the need for further treatment – or<br />
at least minimise tissue damage, giving your<br />
recovery the best start.<br />
The acronym for self treatment,<br />
RICE, is the way to remember what to<br />
do. REst (stop using the injured part),<br />
ICE (use an icepack for 20 minutes to<br />
reduce swelling, inflammation and pain),<br />
COMPREssION (use a bandage or wrap<br />
around a joint or limb to help control<br />
swelling, ELEVAtION (where possible<br />
lift up the injured part to help control<br />
swelling).<br />
Often, over-the-counter, non-steroidal<br />
anti-inflammatories (NsAIDs) and<br />
paracetamol can be helpful as well. Be<br />
careful to follow the dose advice on the<br />
packet or check the website healthinfo.<br />
org.nz to see whether or not they will be<br />
suitable for you.<br />
Equally important is to avoid things<br />
that will make it worse.!<br />
Remember HARM; HEAt (avoid<br />
heating the part this increases swelling<br />
and inflammation), ALCOHOL (alcohol<br />
will increase bleeding and inflammation),<br />
RUNNING (avoid vigorous activity using<br />
the sore part), MAssAGE (rubbing and<br />
acute injury will increase bleeding and<br />
swelling).<br />
seek immediate help if you have severe<br />
pain, are unable to put weight through<br />
the part or if the part is deformed (bent<br />
or grossly swollen).<br />
For more advice check healthinfo.org.nz<br />
or health line 0800 611 116 but remember<br />
RICE and HARM. Why not cut out these<br />
sections and put them on the<br />
fridge door for handy reference.<br />
If you have difficulty resuming activity<br />
or if pain persists, call and see Richard or<br />
Wendy at Physiotherapy Associates, phone<br />
389 7<strong>19</strong>6, for help in getting back to normal<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
Do Your JOINTS<br />
Ever Hurt?<br />
Our bOdy has a padding called cartilage,<br />
a protective spongy coating, between all<br />
moving bone surfaces. Cartilage allows the<br />
joints to move freely. Cartilage however is<br />
easily worn away or damaged with activity<br />
but is normally being constantly rebuilt. If<br />
the replacement and repair of cartilage slows<br />
down the moving bone surfaces become<br />
closer and may start scraping together. This<br />
can eventually cause joint inflammation,<br />
pain and reduced mobility. If it continues the<br />
bone surfaces become rough and symptoms<br />
worsen. This process is called wear and tear<br />
arthritis or osteoarthritis.<br />
researchers have found certain nutrients<br />
may stimulate the body to produce more<br />
cartilage and also support the healing of<br />
connective tissue, ligaments, bone and<br />
muscle.<br />
GO-Healthy New Zealand has developed<br />
a highly effective combination of nutrients<br />
to support all areas of joint health. The<br />
formula called Go GLuCOSAMINE<br />
1-A-day provides well researched nutrients<br />
like glucosamine, chondroitin, proline,<br />
manganese and vitamin d3 to support the<br />
formation of cartilage, connective tissue,<br />
ligaments, bone and muscle. It is known<br />
when the joints are inflamed they can be<br />
very painful and this inflammation may<br />
also slow the formation of new cartilage.<br />
For this reason GO-GLuCOSAMINE<br />
1-A-day also contains an effective blend of<br />
ginger, turmeric and celery to help reduce<br />
joint inflammation and pain. Inflammation<br />
may be further reduced by also taking a<br />
therapeutic amount of high purity fish oil or<br />
krill oil.<br />
Further detailed information is available<br />

We are Always Happy to Help!<br />
Are You Magnesium<br />
Deficient?<br />
MINErALS ArE the building blocks<br />
of good health. Some minerals are only<br />
needed in trace amounts where others like<br />
magnesium are needed in much larger<br />
amounts and on a regular basis to prevent<br />
deficiency and maintain optimum health. A<br />
large number of us do not obtain sufficient<br />
magnesium from our diet and may notice<br />
some of the common signs of deficiency.<br />
Some of the more common symptoms that<br />
may be caused by insufficient magnesium<br />
are: leg and muscle cramps, twitches, muscle<br />
pain, muscle fatigue and weakness, tremors<br />
of hands, blurred vision, restlessness, poor<br />
sleep, raised and/or unstable blood pressure,<br />
poor circulation, irregular heartbeat,<br />
shortness of breath, swallowing problems,<br />
dizziness, headaches, anxiety, agitation,<br />
irritability, seizures, poor concentration and<br />
many more.<br />
Although many young people now show<br />
signs of magnesium deficiency symptoms<br />
generally worsen as we age due to our<br />
digestive system being less efficient. Taking a<br />
magnesium supplement of sufficient strength<br />
may be a sensible option to top up our<br />
vital magnesium levels. Not all magnesium<br />
supplements however are well absorbed by<br />
everyone. Luckily a new marine sourced<br />
magnesium has been found that offers good<br />
levels of absorbable magnesium as well as<br />
many trace nutrients that are low in the<br />
diet but essential for good health. Further<br />

Cold weather a pain?<br />
Say goodbye to aching joints!<br />
EvEr NOTICEd your joints aching<br />
more in winter? Studies show a strong<br />
relationship between cold, damp days and<br />
arthritic pain. Can the elements really<br />
make joints ache?<br />
In cold weather the joint capsules swell,<br />
causing pain, stiffness and inflammation.<br />
The soft tissues around the joints are less<br />
pliable so joints feel tight and sore.<br />
Sitting still is bad news for your joints.<br />
Exercise helps lubricate them to prevent<br />
pain. So wrap up, keep your joints warm<br />
and move!<br />
Too cold out? Exercise indoors with lowimpact<br />
moves. Try yoga or Tai Chi and use<br />
the Aircycle circulation booster to warm<br />
joints, keeping them flexible and strong.<br />
In the cold, our body restricts how much<br />
blood it sends to extremities. Our hands<br />
and feet get cold and our joints get less<br />
blood.<br />
you can strengthen joints at any age.<br />
Keep warm through moving and keep<br />
your circulation boosted. The Aircycle<br />
circulation booster warms hands and feet<br />
and strengthens muscles and joints for<br />
improved balance and mobility.<br />

CONTINUING EDUCATION<br />
Christchurch School of Music<br />
the ChriStChurCh School of Music<br />
is a family-oriented community aimed<br />
at providing quality music education in<br />
and around Christchurch. in 2015 CSM<br />
celebrated 60 years of teaching children to<br />
love and appreciate music so why not join<br />
us and become a part of the next 60 years?<br />
CSM is a not-for-profit organisation<br />
with a strong focus on community. On<br />
a Saturday morning the whole family<br />
can find something to suit. Preschool<br />
children can start their musical journey by<br />
joining in our experiential “take Orff with<br />
Music” while older children and adults<br />
may opt for group or individual lessons<br />
on a specific instrument (including voice).<br />
Those who already play are welcome to<br />
join in one of the great ensembles which<br />
all take part in regular concerts including<br />
Saturday soirees and the popular annual<br />
Showcase Concert. Recitals where<br />
individuals can perform are also held<br />
regularly.<br />
CSM also provides a comprehensive<br />
music education to participating primary<br />
schools via its Outreach programmes.<br />
With programmes offered in band, strings,<br />
recorder and ukulele in a wide range of<br />
Christchurch schools this is an area of the<br />
School, which has grown fast over the last<br />
few years.<br />
Another area that has grown rapidly<br />
over the last few years is the Late Starters<br />
programme where adults approaching<br />
retirement with more time on their hands<br />
have really enjoyed learning an instrument<br />
they never had the chance to play in their<br />
early years and join an ensemble with<br />
other like-minded adults.<br />
if Saturday isn’t an option, CSM also<br />
offers a range of weekday opportunities for<br />
learning and playing music.<br />
if affordability is an issue, CSM may be<br />
able to offer a discount through funding<br />
provided by the rata Foundation.<br />
Please contact us via our website www.<br />
csm.org.nz and let us start you on a<br />
musical journey that will bring pleasure<br />
for a lifetime.<br />
Ensuring a safe work place<br />
LeArninG FirSt aid is not only a part<br />
of ensuring a safe work place, but also<br />
an integral part of our engagement with<br />
the wider community. We all learn the<br />
necessary skills to ensure that in times of<br />
emergency we are able to assist our work<br />
colleagues, but are we able to take these<br />
skills home, into the community or on to the<br />
sports field?<br />
not all work places are the same and<br />
the injury risk for each place can be wide<br />
and variable. The office attended by<br />
administrators does not carry the same<br />
risk as those people working with heavy<br />
machinery, or perhaps at some distance from<br />
a regular ambulance service. it is therefore<br />
essential that you pick the right first aid<br />
course to suit all of your activities – both<br />
professional<br />
and social.<br />
take, for example, an office worker who<br />
does not have a high risk work environment<br />
and whose concern might be to ensure that<br />
they can deal with minor cuts and superficial<br />
injuries, or the ability to perform effective<br />
CPr. These skills can be achieved on a<br />
course of eight hours duration and would<br />
generally fit into low to medium risk area.<br />
But take this same person on to a sports field<br />
either as a spectator or player when a higher<br />
level injury occurs. The eight hour course<br />
covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or<br />
26551 and 26552) does not cover head neck<br />
and spinal injuries, eye injuries, hypothermia<br />
and poisonings.<br />
The majority of injuries occur outside of<br />
the work place, in fact one in three injuries<br />
occurs in the home, making it the most<br />
common place for injuries to happen.<br />
new Zealand children are twice as likely<br />
to die through injury as children who live<br />
in Australia. They mostly die as a result of<br />
motor vehicles accidents or falls in the home.<br />
Fatalities from leisure and sport are not far<br />
behind those in the workplace.<br />
The wider 12 hour course teaches the<br />
additional unit standard 6400 and provides<br />
a wide knowledge base for medium to high<br />
risk environments. This course covers many<br />
of the skills required to deal with the most<br />
common injuries, such as falls (which can<br />
result in head neck and spinal injuries) and<br />
dealing with complex scenes such as motor<br />
vehicle accidents.<br />
if you are not sure on the course best<br />
suited to your needs, ask your accredited<br />
first aid training provider. They can explain<br />
the course content and give you options that<br />
will best suit your needs. Look beyond the<br />
workplace and consider your family and<br />
your location. Check that you have a good<br />
quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with<br />
replenished items, and that everyone knows<br />
where it is located.<br />

Warming winter with<br />
EnviroMaster<br />
Are you struggling with the heat of<br />
Summer or wanting to get organised for<br />
Winter? With the ever changing weather<br />
patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility<br />
of being able to heat and cool which is an<br />
advantage no other appliance can offer. This<br />
represents great value for your investment<br />
as you can use it all year round. The team<br />
at enviro Master Ltd can help keep you cool<br />
this Summer either at home or work. enviro<br />
Master supplies, installs and services all the<br />
leading brands including Panasonic, Fujitsu,<br />
Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means our team<br />
can show you which system and brand will<br />
best suit your needs.<br />
We currently have savings up to $600 off<br />
the recommended retail price on<br />
selected models.<br />
Would you like to maximise the number<br />
of days you can use your swimming pool?<br />
Heating your pool can do this and one of the<br />
most cost effective ways is with a water heat<br />
pump. enviro Master Ltd can supply, install<br />
and service you swimming pool heat pump<br />
providing you with a comfortable, extended<br />
swimming season.<br />
Servicing your heat pump is extremely<br />
important to ensure that it is working<br />
as effectively and efficiently as possible<br />
resulting in a healthy, hygienic heat pump,<br />
lower power bills and greater comfort. But<br />
beware, not all cleaning companies are<br />
equal. We are constantly hearing of people<br />
being charged huge amounts for servicing<br />
and all they are getting is a heat pump<br />
clean. We at enviro Master, are qualified<br />
engineers and therefore are able to fully<br />
test and diagnose any problems you may<br />
or may not be aware of with your heat<br />
pump. Also, as we are associated with all<br />
major brands, we are able to repair these<br />
under warranty if they are still within the<br />
warranty period.<br />
It is important to remember, when<br />
selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s<br />
warranty does not cover the installation<br />
and consumers could be responsible for<br />
any repair or damage caused to the system<br />
due to poor installation. enviro Master’s<br />
five-star installation guarantee ensures<br />
correct installation, and a demonstration so<br />
customers have an understanding on how it<br />
will best meet their needs.<br />

rISINg DAMP is an issue that affects many of<br />
our older properties which suffer from poor, or<br />
no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake,<br />
many people have relocated to homes that<br />
suffer from rising damp which can be associated<br />
with health problems. Independent tests have<br />
shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise from<br />
the ground and enter a house every day, leading<br />
to mildew, mould, condensation and musty<br />
smells. Moulds can produce various allergic<br />
reactions and the frail, elderly and very young are<br />
especially vulnerable.<br />

e At last an energy saving device that<br />
gives your household direct energy<br />
savings on your hot water power bills.<br />
our ProVeN technology helps customers<br />
manage their hot water heating by saving<br />
money without impacting on their hot<br />
water availability. Introducing our breakthrough<br />
technology, the iSmart Hot Water<br />
Controller which can be easily retrofitted<br />
to any hot water cylinder by a qualified<br />
electrician, so no need to replace your hot<br />
water cylinder. More sophisticated than a<br />
timer, the iSmart Controller comes with an<br />
LCD touch screen so you can programme<br />
when you heat up your hot water, plans<br />
for period of high use, can be boosted<br />
when you’ve got unexpected demand and<br />
minimise power use when away on holiday.<br />
How Does it Work?<br />
• easy to use LCD display touch screen<br />
• you can program the times when you<br />
want the hot water available<br />
• Calculates if there is enough hot<br />
water and only heats up when required.<br />
• easily adjust the savings you want to<br />
make<br />
• Boost Mode Function for when those<br />
unexpected guests turn up<br />
• Holiday mode – your hot water can be<br />
safely turned off while you are away.<br />

the required air exchange for your building<br />
requirement. Smooth-Air offers a wide range of<br />
ventilation equipment, from air vents to ducting<br />

can also provide innovative solutions tailored to<br />
differing requirements.<br />

This includes both the exchange of air to the<br />
outside as well as circulation of air within the<br />
building. It is one of the most important factors<br />
for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in<br />
buildings.<br />
Filtered air supply for summer and filtered<br />
and warmed air in winter creates a healthy<br />
environment in which to live and work. In case<br />
of poor or insufficient air intake from outside,<br />
the oxygen content decreases, humidity and<br />
dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation<br />
is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air,<br />
smells, humidity and harmful substances are not<br />
removed.<br />
Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes<br />
stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel<br />
drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a<br />
high content of dust and tobacco smoke are<br />
harmful and can cause various diseases. even<br />
bad smells can cause discomfort or irritate the<br />
nervous system. In summer, it’s easy to open<br />
windows for cross ventilation, however as winter<br />
approaches, we start to shut up out houses to<br />
trap in the heat and as a result, air quality can<br />
decline.<br />
It is therefore very important to ensure good<br />
air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.<br />

Computing For Free - still going strong after 15 years<br />
Ara Institute of Canterbury (formerly CPIT)<br />
has provided free computer courses at four<br />
hubs across Christchurch for over 15 years.<br />
Now, it is evolving to better connect a wide<br />
variety of learners with accessible training for<br />
basic computer skills or upskilling to improve<br />
career opportunities.<br />
Computing For Free manager Peter Nock<br />
says that over <strong>19</strong>,000 people have accessed<br />
free or affordable training so far. “Originally<br />
we offered short, non-assessed computer<br />
courses as the government saw the need for<br />
adults to upskill in this area. We created a<br />
friendly and welcoming place to get started<br />
on computing skills, and we still do this, but<br />
now we also do a whole lot more.”<br />
At hubs in New Brighton, Bishopdale, Hornby,<br />
Rangiora, Christchurch’s Madras Street and<br />
now also in Timaru, Ara staff continue to<br />
support community learning needs through<br />
Computing For Free.<br />
We help people<br />
get to where they<br />
want to go.<br />
further skills for their particular job or to take<br />
the next step in their career.”<br />
The course timetables are designed to<br />
be flexible to fit around family and<br />
professional commitments.<br />
“Our approach works,” Peter says. “We<br />
consistently deliver quality and receive<br />
excellent student feedback. We help people<br />
to get where they want to go.”<br />
Peter Nock<br />
Computing For Free Manager<br />
“There is still a range of self-paced, short<br />
courses of between 20 to 40 hours to<br />
introduce people to specific programs like<br />
web design and Powerpoint. However, we<br />
also offer business and job-seeking courses,<br />
and the National Certificate in Computing,<br />
which is a formal qualification that employers<br />
recognise and value.”<br />
The courses are facilitated by tutors who are<br />
on-hand to provide support. “Our staff are<br />
passionate about the courses they teach and<br />
the communities they teach in, providing a<br />
really great experience for our students.”<br />
Computing for Free is offered through<br />
Ara Connect, which introduces learners<br />
across the Canterbury region to skills that<br />
are industry-relevant and designed to help<br />
achieve career goals.<br />
Peter adds that computer skills are a<br />
necessity in today’s professional environment.<br />
“Everyone needs to know their way around a<br />
computer and some people need to acquire<br />

Upskilling leads to teaching role<br />
Jo Harkerss had reached a crossroad in<br />
her life when she enrolled in a Computing<br />
For Free programme at Ara Institute of<br />
Canterbury’s Bishopdale hub. Now she is a<br />
computing tutor helping others to succeed.<br />
Why did you first enrol in<br />
Computing For Free?<br />
I was on maternity leave when I was made<br />
redundant from my job. Both my sister and<br />
my mother were enrolled at the New Brighton<br />
hub – that’s how I found out about it. I’ve<br />
always enjoyed computing and I wanted to<br />
use my time wisely to upskill myself.<br />
What are you doing now?<br />
I’m working as a tutor at Computing For Free!<br />
What do you enjoy about your job?<br />
It’s very cool helping other people to succeed.<br />
The hardest thing is for people to walk in the<br />
door. Then they realise that we are really nice!<br />
And that they can do it. You see people come<br />
in who feel afraid of computers, but we are<br />
here to help them to achieve. Study is not easy<br />
for everyone, but our programmes have a<br />
good balance of theory and practice, plus the<br />
programmes are self-paced to fit around other<br />
commitments such as work and family.<br />
For many people it is a huge stepping stone.<br />
They may have been made redundant or been<br />
out of the workforce after having children.<br />
Here they can connect with other people and<br />
learn new skills that will make them more<br />
employable and give them confidence to<br />
try other things too. They might have used<br />
computers in the past, but programmes<br />
change and skills need to be updated.<br />
What sort of feedback do you get?<br />
Because we’re like a family, once people<br />
have finished their studies here, they come<br />
back and tell us what they’re doing. Our<br />
programmes lead into further computing<br />
studies at Ara, or they can help you to find<br />
work. I think most importantly,<br />
our students get a taste of what they’re<br />
capable of. They develop computer skills but<br />
they also develop confidence and brush up<br />
on the soft skills, such as communication<br />
and networking, that employers value in<br />
today’s workplaces.<br />

10 essential computer skills for the workplace<br />
Computer tutor Josh Hough, who<br />
teaches school students through<br />
Ara Institute of Canterbury, offers<br />
some useful tips about basic<br />
computing for employment.<br />
1. Knowing how to use a computer<br />
Knowing how to actually operate a computer<br />
will make you a much more efficient<br />
employee. Having an understanding of the<br />
appearance, keyboard commands and ways<br />
in which the computer operating system<br />
works will make you more valuable to<br />
your employer.<br />
2. Word processing skills<br />
4. Using email<br />
Many workplaces now use email as their<br />
primary method of communication.<br />
Having a good understanding of how to<br />
use it is essential. Knowing about correct<br />
email etiquette is also important as it’s<br />
easy to convey the wrong message when<br />
communicating in text only.<br />
5. Using Microsoft Office<br />
Many employers use specialist software,<br />
however the majority use Microsoft office<br />
for common tasks such as word processing,<br />
spreadsheets, databases and presentations.<br />
Being familiar with these programmes is an<br />
essential skill to possess.<br />
employer safe when using the computer<br />
is something every employee should know.<br />
8. Knowing how to back up your work<br />
Unfortunately, computers can get viruses and<br />
networks can crash. Learning how to back up<br />
your documents so you don’t risk losing all of<br />
your hard work if something goes wrong is a<br />
really helpful skill to possess.<br />
9. Organising your files<br />
A large amount of businesses store their files on<br />
computer networks that can vary in complexity.<br />
Being able to organise your files effectively is a<br />
desirable skill for many employers.<br />
10. Understanding basic<br />
hardware terminology<br />
You don’t have to be a tech-wiz, but you<br />
do need to understand the difference<br />
between the various parts of the computer<br />
like the “hard drive”, “modem” and “router”.<br />
Knowing the names of the parts and their<br />
functions will make it much easier to get<br />
help when you need to report a problem<br />
to tech support.<br />
Word processing is an absolutely essential<br />
skill in today’s job market. Many employers<br />
require their staff to be able to proficiently<br />
write, edit, and produce a variety of<br />
documents using a computer.<br />
3. Using the internet<br />
Being able to confidently use the internet<br />
is crucial for job seekers. Having the ability<br />
to complete research by browsing various<br />
websites or by using search engines can<br />
allow you to easily find things out – useful for<br />
both work and home life!<br />
6. Using the cloud<br />
Cloud technology provides online storage<br />
space and is commonly used to store, send<br />
and receive files. Many businesses make use<br />
of this technology to allow their employees<br />
to share and collaborate on files and<br />
documents.<br />
7. Keeping secure<br />
There are all sorts of security risks<br />
associated with using a computer, especially<br />
when sensitive data is involved. Knowing the<br />
dos and don’ts to help keep you and your<br />
Opening doors to the world of ICT<br />
Ara Computing For Free programmes<br />
don’t just lead to wider immediate work<br />
opportunities - they can open up a whole<br />
world of computing programmes to help<br />
you go even further. Many students discover<br />
a passion and an aptitude for computing<br />
through Computing For Free. Having boosted<br />
their confidence and study skills, they then<br />
decide to take their knowledge further.<br />
There are a wide range of pathways available<br />
for studying computing at Ara depending<br />
on the career outcomes you want to achieve<br />
and how long you want to study for. All<br />
programmes are developed in conjunction<br />
with industry to provide the most up-to-date<br />
and relevant knowledge of this fast-paced<br />
and exciting industry.<br />
The entry point for the Department of<br />
Computing programmes is the New Zealand<br />
Certificate in Information Technology<br />
Essentials Level 4. This six month, full time<br />
programme offers an excellent overview of<br />
major computing areas including hardware,<br />
operating systems, networking and security,<br />
user experience, website design and<br />

software design and development. It also<br />
covers the professional, ethical and legal<br />
context of computing in the real world.<br />
Many students<br />
discover a passion<br />

web development and design at level 5,<br />
and networking or systems administration<br />
at level 6. These can lead right through to<br />
the three year Bachelor of Information and<br />
Communication Technologies.<br />
Youth who want to leave school and get<br />
started on their career can enrol in the<br />
Certificate in Foundation Studies Level 2<br />
(Computing) through the Youth Guarantee<br />
programme at Ara, which is fees-free.<br />
At the other end of the spectrum,<br />
professionals in the industry can put<br />
their expertise towards academic<br />
credits and a qualification through<br />
the Centre for Assessment of Prior<br />
Learning. This is an excellent<br />
way to upskill and achieve<br />
career progression.<br />
