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