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 />

Christi Walker, 10, of Waimairi, challenges herself to hang upside down on<br />

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

created Circotica, a circus theatre company, in 2013. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<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 />

Your Local Views<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 />

PEGASUS POST<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 />

best ever finish<br />

SHIRLEY BOYS’ High School<br />

student Joel Jeffrey (far right)<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 />

to helping Shirley Boys’<br />

in the Thompson Trophy when<br />

they take on Christ’s College next<br />

Tuesday.<br />

Britneylee Nicholson took home the Golden Boot award at<br />

the weekend’s National Youth Futsal Championships. She<br />

scored nine goals during the tournament, helping her Mainland<br />

under-<strong>19</strong> girls’ team to the national title. The three-day<br />

tournament was held in Palmerston North. Mainland’s under-<strong>19</strong><br />

girls’ side won the title with a 3-0 win over runner-up Capital on<br />

Sunday. 16-year-old Britneylee plays her football for Coastal<br />

Spirit and has also played for Mainland Pride in the national<br />

women’s competition. She is captain of the St Andrew’s first XI.<br />

Mainland also won the under-16 boys and under-15 girls’ titles.<br />

Benji Lapslie won the under-<strong>19</strong> boys’ Golden Boot, scoring 15<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<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 />

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 />

from the Naturopath and Medical Herbalist<br />

or one of the Natural Health Advisers at<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 />

The helen O’Grady Drama Academy<br />

students aged 5 to 17 fulfil their potential by<br />

acting confidently and speaking clearly. This<br />

achieve invaluable life skills. The confident,<br />

articulate child makes friends easily, accepts<br />

challenges and new directions. Confident<br />

children become well-rounded adults.<br />

Our fully qualified teachers are trained<br />

in the helen O’Grady Drama system,<br />

they ensure each child is encouraged<br />

and valued in a warm, positive learning<br />

and improvisation. Our Youth Theatre<br />

programme encourages the development of<br />

leadership and organisational skills. Three<br />

terms of the year cover the self-development<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 />

NoW WItH the colder and wetter weather<br />

on its way, home owners are focusing on ways<br />

to make their homes comfortable, warm and<br />

healthy for their families throughout winter.<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 />

• Legionella Protection – once a week<br />

automatically gets up to 60deg’s to kill<br />

to eNSure the quality of your air, contact<br />

the experts. Smooth-Air Products can calculate<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 />

for fans, for both the commercial and domestic<br />

markets. They have an extensive range of fans<br />

and ventilation components in-store but they<br />

can also provide innovative solutions tailored to<br />

differing requirements.<br />

VeNtILAtIoN<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 />

Enrolling is easy – just pop into your<br />

local branch to discuss your needs<br />

with one of our friendly team or visit<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 />

development, information systems, 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 />

and an aptitude for<br />

computing through<br />

Computing For Free.<br />

There are a number of 12 month New Zealand<br />

diplomas covering IT technical support or<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 />
