GREAT RANGE 

OF GIFTS 

• By Caitlin Miles 

FOR YEARS pupils at Bromley 

School have had to duck and 

dive as they crossed a nearby 

busy intersection. 

But soon they will have a 

pedestrian island on Bromley 

Rd at the intersection with 

Keighleys Rd so the children can 

safely get to the middle of the 

road before crossing the other 

lane. 

The Bromley Community 

Centre raised the issue with 

the former Hagley-Ferrymead 

Community Board in 2015, 

pushing it for something to be 

done. 

“So many of our kids cross 

there and it’s such a busy road it 

can be dangerous. 

“They would duck between 

stopped cars and trucks because 

they didn’t want to wait, now it 

will be much safer,” said school 

teacher Cathy Baker. 

She hopes parents will be 

happier to let their children 

make their own way to school. 

School pupils made a 

deputation to the Linwood- 

Central-Heathcote Community 

Board meeting last week, 

asking for safety measures to 

be put in place to make it safer 

to cross. 

The community board 

approved the decision to install a 

pedestrian island. 

Cr Yani Johanson said it was 

good news for the school and 

community centre. 

Ms Baker said it was “exciting” 

news after campaigning for 

safety measures for so long. 

“We spoke to so many 

people, went and counted cars 

and trucks driving past . . . it’s 

ridiculous,” she said. 

This comes after schools 

around the city started 

campaigning for safer roads 

outside schools by lowering the 

speed limits during school hours 

in the morning and afternoon. 

Ms Baker said lowering speed 

limits is an important issue 

for the schools, but said this 

was a good step in making the

children safer. 

She said the school will hold 

road safety lessons with the 

pupils to encourage them to 

safely use the island to cross the 

road. 

Work is under way for the 

pedestrian island.

News........................................3-7 

A NEW era has dawned for 

education in the eastern suburbs 

with the opening of Haeata 

Community Campus (see our 

photos on page 4). 

The earthquakes brought many 

changes to the east side and 

schools are one of them. 

Time will tell whether Haeata 

is a good move, but purely from a 

family point of view, I’m guessing 

many parents will only be too 

happy to have all of their kids 

heading to one school. 

Older brother looks after 

younger brother and all that sort 

of thing. 

Aranui High was a great school 

(I’m an old boy). I can remember 

some of the stuff we got up to like 

it was yesterday. 

The teachers were great (except 

for one or two), and I made some 

great friends, a number I still see 

all these years on.

Yacht club’s $1.17m shed 

• By Tom Doudney 

THE Christchurch Yacht Club 

is hoping it will soon get the go 

ahead for a new rowing shed to 

replace the one demolished after 

the June 2011 earthquake. 

The Moncks Bay-based club 

wants to build a new $1.17 million 

shed in a 

more seaward 

position to allow 

room for the 

Coastal Pathway 

walking and cycle 

route between 

Trevor Kite 

it and the road. 

Building the shed 

further seaward 

means higher costs. 

The club already has resource 

consent and a building permit 

for the new shed. It has also 

asked the city council to contribute 

$327,595 towards the extra 

costs associated with providing 

for the Coastal Pathway, along 

with an additional $239,713 because 

the public will have use of 

the shed’s decks and ramps. 

The club has raised $607,000 

so far, and has carried out soil 

testing. 

It has met with both the city 

council and the Coastal Pathway 

group over the last two months 

and expects to get a response 

from the city council soon. 

Once funding has been 

secured, work could begin 

almost immediately and 

would take about 10 months to 

complete. 

The new shed would be 5.5m 

further seaward, enlarging the 

space for a public walking and 

cycle route between it and the 

road from 1m to 4m. 

The club’s shed and boardwalk 

project convener Trevor Kite 

said the proposal was a winwin 

scenario for the club and 

community. 

“Although we have the right 

to put the shed back as it was, to 

have done so would have denied 

the community the chance to 

walk past there except for a little 

track,” 

he said. 

“It has been identified as the 

major obstacle for completing 

the Coastal Pathway between 

Ferrymead and Sumner.” 

Mr Kite said the club would 

function much better when it 

could once again provide a shed 

for members to store boats in. 

This would also help with

traffic and parking in the area, 

as members would not have to 

bring their boats with them on 

trailers. 

The shed had already been 

damaged in the February 2011 

earthquake and was deemed 

unsafe following the magnitude 

6.3 quake in June that year, 

which was centred less than 

200m away. 

The clubrooms were 

also damaged by the 2011 

earthquakes, although they are 

still able to be used and will be 

rebuilt at a later date. 

In Brief 

FLOOD PROTECTION 

Consultation on landscaping 

at Linwood Lower Fields as 

part of flood mitigation work 

will close next week. The plans 

involve turning 2.75ha of 

unused land at the Kimihia 

Parents’ College into an urban 

forest and park area with 

retention ponds. The city council 

wants to use the land as part 

of a series of work between 

Antigua St in the central city 

and Hargood St in Woolston, 

designed to improve flood 

protection and water quality in 

the Bells Creek catchment. The 

plans will go to the Linwood- 

Central-Heathcote Community 

Board in March. To make a

Super school Haeata opens 

ashion 

STUDENTS AT the new 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

Haeata Community Campus 

were only worried about one 

thing on their first day at the 

new school – getting lost on the 

school grounds. 

The first official 

day for the school 

based in Aranui 

Gardening 

was last Friday. 

Haeata has been a 

year in the making, 

and after the closure of four 

eastern suburb schools last year, 

the community welcomed the 

hub with open arms. 

The new super school, which 

is made up of Aranui, Avondale 

and Wainoni primary schools, 

otoring 

as well as Aranui High School, 

has been built on the site of 

Aranui High. 

Principal Andy Kai Fong 

(above) said the school will use 

‘flexible’ learning to get the 

students working to their full 

potential. 

The school will see about 900 

students through its doors in 

asty Bites 

the coming weeks, and has the 

capacity to accommodate about 

1800.

For all your blind repair and cleaning requirements 

The Blind Care Company has been 

cleaning and repairing the region’s blinds 

for over 60 years. Those six decades 

have seen changes in both fashion and 

technology. Styles have ranged from 

festooned fabric swags to straightforward 

and still popular holland roller blinds, 

from vertical to horizontal slat systems, 

and in every colour or pattern popular 

since the 1960s. 

Whatever your style, the Blind Care 

Company has the expertise to keep your 

window treatments looking fresh and 

working efficiently. Using only ecofriendly 

chemicals, the build-up of dirt, 

dust, grease, nicotine and smoke residue 

can be removed so that your blinds 

smell fresh and are restored to their 

original glory. The company can repair 

blinds also, having a huge range of parts 

in stock. And if you want something 

completely new, a great range of blinds is 

available for purchase. 

The company prides itself on efficient 

service, providing a fast turn-around, 

with most work taking one or two 

days, and a same day cleaning option is 

available. It makes it as easy as possible 

for clients. The Cashel Street location 

couldn’t be more convenient and a pickup 

and drop-off service is available. 150 

blinds per day can be cleaned at this site, 

or one of their mobile vans can do up to 

50 per day. That means they will come to 

your home or office, remove and clean 

your blinds on the spot and reinstall them 

for you. 

A cut-down and size alteration service 

is available in order that the blinds you 

bought are a perfect fit. 

They are experts in their field with a 

huge amount of experience to draw on. 

In fact, all their staff has been on board 

for at least 8 years, and many up to 20 

years. Whatever the job involves, they 

will work hard to make sure it gets done, 

including one job of 800 blinds which 

they completed in 4 days.

Concerts, events could 

be held in red zone 

gotoring 

CONCERTS AND other events 

could be held in the residential 

red zone to take pressure off 

Hagley Park. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel 

floated the idea at a city 

council meeting on 

Thursday that holding 

“concerts and various 

other events” would be a 

good transitional use of 

ites asty Bites 

the land. 

It is not the first time the red 

zone has been suggested as a 

location for concerts and other 

big events. 

Hands off Hagley, the park’s 

watch dog group, suggested last 

year popular noisy events 

should be hosted in the 

residential red zone to 

stop damage to the park. 

Ms Dalziel said holding 

events in the red zone 

would “re-engage the 

community in the area”. 

The residential red zone is 

430ha of land, an area two and a 

half times the size of Hagley Park. 

Her comments came after city 

councillor Aaron Keown said 

that he had received a number 

of complaints regarding the lack 

of available parking at Hagley 

Park for events. 

In November the city council 

banned parking on the grassed 

areas in Hagley Park. 

Previously vehicles could be 

parked on the fields for major 

events, but the practice was 

damaging the land. 

Ms Dalziel said the city 

councillors needed an update on 

the parking situation. 

Making bus rides 

more enjoyable 

• Ashleigh Monk 

MAGDA Lorenzo has spent the 

last two months delivering books 

to bus stops for commuters to 

enjoy. 

Ms Lorenzo started the 

initiative ‘The Commuting Book’ 

to encourage reading and the use 

of public transport. 

The idea is for people to pick 

up a book at their bus stop, read 

it while they ride the bus, then 

drop it off when they get to their 

stop. 

“The idea behind The 

Commuting Books is to create 

opportunities for people to 

engage in reading by bringing 

them (books) into public spaces,” 

she said. 

“I see bus stops a social hub 

and it’s very interesting the way 

you can engage in conversation 

with people waiting for the bus 

with you and sometimes the 

books are an excuse to do 

that.” 

Ms Lorenzo delivered the 

books herself on her bicycle she 

had named ‘Mantis’. 

“It depends on the weather 

that day; I can ride for several 

hours around the city. Normally 

I choose one of the bus routes 

and leave the books at the stops 

on that route.” 

Each book had a ‘Commuting 

Book’ sticker with informations 

and instructions on the project. 

Although Ms Lorenzo has not 

had much feedback she said the 

travelling of books was a good 

sign. 

“Some of them are responding 

through Facebook. They are 

being very generous with their 

comments and their feedback. 

It’s very encouraging.” 

Ms Lorenzo estimated she 

had distributed about 230 

books so far, and hoped that 

number would rise as the project 

developed. 

“We hope to be implementing 

a few different aspects to the 

project in the next couple of 

months.”

Southshore triathlete 

dominating junior series 

ARI GRAHAM has continued 

to dominate the junior triathlon 

circuit with her third win of 

the national series at Takapuna 

Beach, Auckland. 

The Southshore triathlete was 

also crowned winner at both the 

House of Travel (Christchurch) 

and Future ChampioNZ festivals 

(Taupo) in December. 

Graham, 17, has recently 

started to focus on triathlon with 

most of her training previously 

targeting athletics. She was 

introduced to the sport while 

she was at school and enjoys the 

combination of swimming and 

running. 

“Over the next six to 12 

months, I’m looking to improve 

my cycling as it’s my weakest 

discipline. I also want to 

increase my knowledge and 

understanding of triathlon as the 

training is a lot different 

to athletics training,” said 

Graham. 

The background in athletics 

has given Graham a strong 

advantage on the run leg of the 

sport. She steamed off ahead 

of her competition completing 

the run almost 1min ahead of 

Hamilton’s Hannah Knighton 

who finished second. 

“I used to be a 1500m runner 

so having that experience has 

allowed me to understand 

THREE-PEAT: Triathlete Ari Graham has started 2017 where she 

left off last year, continuing her unbeaten run in the National 

Junior Series. 

running tactics more,” said 

Graham. 

The National Junior Series 

is intended to promote 

strength and depth of domestic 

competition for aspiring young 

triathletes in New Zealand. 

There are a diverse mix of 

races that athletes will encounter 

throughout the series to promote 

skill and speed. 

The final two races of the series 

will take place in Wanaka this

LINWOOD KEAS will look to 

win their first Crosbie Nines 

tournament in three attempts 

on Saturday. 

The Keas have been in fine 

form on the back of victory at 

the inaugural Rolleston Nines 

where they cruised past the 

Halswell Hornets 28-6 in the 

final. 

“Clubs are definitely getting 

in behind these tournaments. 

It’s really great for our game and 

promoting the brand. It gives 

the clubs a chance to mingle 

and it’s also great for guys to get 

a taste before the season gets 

under way,” said Keas coach

HOPEFUL: Linwood Keas will look to grab their second nines 

title in a fortnight at the Crosbie Nines on Saturday.

Andrew Auimatagi. 

The 16-team Crosbie Nines 

will be a step up for many clubs 

as they get ready for the Massetti 

Cup competition which 

begins in late April. 

“You’ve got a few teams that 

have been put together with 

a group of mates and they’re 

always the dark horses. Samoa 

United are always really 

consistent . . . I’m sure they’ll 

have a few stars in there,” said 

Auimatagi. 

He said the Crosbie Nines will 

provide a great chance to cast an 

eye over up-and-coming talent. 

The tournament will begin 

at 10am on Saturday at Crosbie 

Park, Avonhead.

• By Gordon Findlater 

AT THIS time of the year former 

Super Rugby player Ged Robinson 

is normally getting towards peak 

fitness ahead of a busy season. 

This year he’s all about keeping 

Christchurch well fed with what 

he calls a Kiwi take on Italian style 

pizza. 

Fed by Ged will be one of many 

tasty and nutritious options 

available for those needing refuelling 

following The Star City2Surf. The 

former Crusader, whose mobile 

wood fire pizza oven is regularly 

based outside 

Il Magro 

espresso bar 

in Papanui, 

will be 

awaiting 

runners at the 

finish area of 

next month’s 

event. 

Outside 

of rugby 

Robinson 

has always had a love for food. After 

recently hanging up the boots he’s 

now had more time to concentrate 

on that love. 

“I’m a front rower so I love food. 

I moved to Melbourne and played 

over there for three years. My wife 

and I spent a lot of time checking out 

the city and enjoying the food, that 

probably fired up the taste buds even 

more,” said Robinson. 

His first experiments with pizza 

came during his time while playing 

for the Melbourne Rebels, regularly 

feeding teammates on his own 

creations. His passion for fuelling a 

squad has grown ever since. 

After spending a decade as a 

professional rugby player Robinson 

knows all about nutrition, something 

he’s taken to the oven. 

“Italian style pizza has really high 

quality meat and really low in sugar 

and salt. I do make brown flour 

pizza dough as well as the traditional 

white. It’s all really good quality, 

non-processed food,” said Robinson. 

Robinson is continually working 

on new creations and by the time 

March 19 rolls around he may just 

have a new recipe to unveil.

Help your child grow in confidence

ideal approach to teach confidence and channel 

youthful energy while building self-esteem.

in New Zealand for 35 years. This highly regarded 

international programme helps students aged 5 to 

17 fulfil their potential by acting confidently and 

speaking clearly. Our unique, self-development 

programme helps achieve invaluable life skills. 

The confident, articulate child makes friends 

easily, accepts challenges and new directions. 

Confident children become well-rounded adults. 

Our fully qualified teachers are trained in 

the Helen O’Grady Drama system, they ensure 

each child is encouraged and valued in a warm, 

positive learning environment. Lessons stimulate 

and motivate students without the exam or 

peer group pressure. Weekly class activities 

include speech training, creative movement and 

improvisation. Our Youth Theatre programme 

encourages the development of leadership and 

organisational skills. We also offer Trinity College 

London examinations as an option for those who 

wish to pursue an international qualification.

Be part of the Christchurch 

United dream 

Christchurch United FC is the most 

successful football club in Canterbury 

and is making great strides to once again 

become the most famous football brand in 

the country. 

Since its formation in 1970 Christchurch 

United captains have lifted six National 

League trophies (1973, 1975, 1978, 1987, 

1988, 1991) and six Chatham Cups (1972, 

1975, 1976, 1989 and 1991). 

Christchurch United has recently joined 

forces with the acclaimed Christchurch 

Football Academy programme and the 

merged entity will be mainly based at the 

world-class Christchurch Football Centre 

on Yaldhurst Road, as well as the historic 

home at Spreydon Domain. 

The state-of-the art artificial pitches, 

top quality natural pitches, fit-for-purpose 

floodlights, 500-seat grandstand will soon 

be flanked by new offices, changing rooms 

and a café that will create the 

best football environment 

for players, parents and 

supporters, all seasons and all 

weather, 12 months a year. 

Christchurch United FC 

is proud to be one of the 

few clubs in the country 

with three internationallylicenced 

elite coaches with 

extensive pedigree in youth 

development. 

They will provide a huge 

variety of programmes, from 

intensive elite Academy 

development, equivalent to the FTC 

programme, to community programmes 

in Spreydon, from First Kicks to Masters 

grades. 

Our professional coaches will personally 

deliver the curriculum but also run a 

coaching education programme to enhance 

the skills and qualifications of the club’s 

volunteer coaches. 

Christchurch United FC has set itself 

extremely high standards to deliver a 

world-class football experience, both on 

and off the pitch, from our elite players, 

our toddlers to the grey-haired weekend 

warriors battling.

The power of 

chlorophyll 

Chlorophyll is a truly amazing substance 

with powerful health benefits. It is the green 

pigment found in plants they use to make 

energy through photosynthesis. It is a rich 

source of natural minerals, vitamins, amino 

acids and antioxidants, which are essential 

in balancing and maintaining the alkalinity 

of the body. Ideally we want our body to 

be slightly alkaline as an acidic body is 

prone to unhealthy organisms that can 

damage organs, the immune system and 

may lead to allergies, asthma, congestion, 

fatigue, frequent colds, headaches, 

inflammation, joint and muscle pain, skin 

problems, ulcers, weight gain and over 

the long term arthritis, cancer, diabetes, 

fibromyalgia, heart disease, multiple 

sclerosis, osteoporosis and stroke. The 

biggest contributor to acidity in the body is 

our modern diet. Excess acidity is caused 

by eating processed foods, too much animal 

protein, dairy products and processed 

grains such as corn and wheat. Normally 

the kidneys maintain our acid/alkaline 

balance by adjusting the electrolyte levels 

in the body. The electrolytes are calcium, 

magnesium, potassium and sodium. The 

best source of these electrolytes is raw 

fruits and vegetables as cooking depletes 

alkalising minerals. Green drinks made 

with fresh vegetables or powders are very 

alkalising as they contain chlorophyll. 

Chlorophyll is structurally similar to our 

own blood and alkalises the blood. 

Chlorophyll is available in concentrated 

liquid form and is an ideal way to help 

alkalise and mineralise the body. Generally 

5-15ml is taken straight or diluted in 

water or juice. Chlorophyll is a powerful 

cleansing and detoxifying agent for the 

body and blood. It acts as a natural internal 

deodoriser, helping with body odour, bad 

breath, promoting good digestive function 

and supporting overall health and wellbeing. 

Chlorophyll supports efficient 

oxygen transportation by the blood and as 

a result can improve energy and make you 

feel more refreshed and invigorated.

Take a trip with 

Third Aged Tours 

Taking people aged over 50 on trips 

around New Zealand and the world for 

nearly 20 years has earned Third Age Tours 

a brag book that Director Brenda Corby- 

Yarrall says “businesses would give their 

eye teeth for.” 

Taking small groups of 10 – 24 people 

means I can operate the tour in a relaxed, 

companionable manner. We have an 

absolute blast when we’re away. It’s all about 

having fun. 

Most of my trips are run annually 

because they’re so popular, but I’m always 

adding new destinations - like “Sicily, South 

Italy & Vatican” + “Cuba”, 

as people ask for them. 

Brenda checks out all 

accommodation before 

booking it, and ensures 

the party spends at least a 

few nights at each place. 

That way you don’t feel 

like you’re living out of a 

suitcase. 

Many clients now have 

made over 20 tours with 

us, one has completed a 

whopping 27 tours. 

My clients tell me they 

keep coming back because 

of the size of the groups and our relaxed 

manner. My motto is ‘There are no 

strangers, only friends waiting to meet.’ 

We gather together for breakfast at 

8.30am which sets us up for the day and 

everybody thinks is a very civilised hour. 

I organise incredible trips at incredible 

prices. Look around, you can’t find better 

for all we include.

PEGASUS POST 

Strengthen your spine, avoid 

back pain 

Whether it’s from gardening, lifting 

something heavy, or twisting awkwardly, 

most of us will experience low back pain 

during our lifetime and it can certainly 

slow us down. 

An exciting and effective way of 

resolving and preventing low back or neck 

pain is Dynamic Spines, a programme run 

by Muscle People in Christchurch City 

and Bishopdale. As physiotherapist and 

director of Muscle People, Laurie Moore, 

explains: “Spinal strength and stability is 

the focus of the programme, concentrating 

on the deep core muscles in the trunk.” 

The programme is designed to move 

you beyond pain to a place where you feel 

confident about taking part in dynamic 

activities, and significantly reduce 

recurrence of back pain, she says. 

Led by physiotherapists, the weekly 

exercise programme is conducted for 

small groups, with core stability and 

spinal muscle control being addressed. 

Participants experience clear progression 

each week, which will cross over to their 

everyday life. 

“More than 80 per cent of New Zealanders 

suffer from a significant episode of low 

back pain during their life,” Laurie says. 

“Of these, 84 per cent are likely to have 

a recurrence of back pain within a year. 

Research shows that those that undergo a 

specific spinal strengthening programme 

are almost three times better off.” 

The benefits of completing the Dynamic 

Spines programme: 

• Stabilise your spine 

• Increase your core strength 

• Improve your confidence 

• Correct causative factors that may 

relate to ongoing pain and recurrent 

episodes of low back pain 

• Specific training for your back 

A Muscle People client who has completed 

the Dynamic Spines programmes, Julie, 

says: “The course has been life-changing. 

I suffered from severe neck pain and was 

fearful of any movement. This programme 

has strengthened up my neck muscles, 

making me feel confident and like a new 

woman.” 

Another participant, Tor, says: After 

partaking in the Dynamic Spines group 

exercise programme I definitely feel 

stronger all over – thigh muscles, arms, 

general increased stamina. This has helped 

with my gardening work, with less lower 

back niggles.” 

Before you join the Dynamic Spines 

programme, a physiotherapist will assess 

your individual needs. The programme is 

then split into two levels. Laurie explains: 

After 

Before 

“The first level is all about learning to locate and then strengthen the appropriate muscles. 

The physiotherapists will help each person to achieve this based on their individual 

diagnosis and ability. 

“The second level focuses on turning those learned skills into habitual movements and 

improving strength. Home exercises are also an integral part of the programme. 

The Dynamic Spines programme is designed for men and women of all ages and fitness 

levels, who have back or neck pain, or with core or postural weakness.

COMPUTING FOR FREE 

Free qualification builds digital confidence 

The New Zealand Certificate in Computing Level 3 

(Intermediate User) has been developed to equip 

students with the digital skills expected in today’s 

workforce. 

Ara Computing for Free Academic Team Leader Des 

Hoogervorst says that learning how to use digital 

technology and operate online is now a necessity. 

“Technology, the workforce and education are 

evolving. Through this new programme, we work 

with students to build their confidence with 

technology step-by-step. Then we show them how 

they can use it to discover information and come up 

with solutions.” 

The certificate introduces students to the types of 

tools commonly used in a business environment. 

Students can then apply this knowledge to the 

specific tools used in their workplace and adapt to 

new ones as technology advances. 

One of the advantages about studying through 

Computing for Free is the community that students 

become part of. The Level 3 certificate includes an 

online forum where students can share their insights 

as they progress through the course. 

“This experience will enable students to have 

confident conversations in a digital work 

environment. By interacting with people from 

different industries and backgrounds, students will 

also learn more about the digital business world.” 

The qualification covers fundamental digital skills, 

such as the use of different mobile devices and how 

to connect these to WiFi and Bluetooth. 

Students will explore the privacy and security 

implications of different types of filing systems and 

file sharing software, including cloud-based storage. 

Experiencing tools such as Microsoft Office, online 

presentations, basic HTML editing suites and social 

media will give students a wide understanding of 

the digital activities carried out in most businesses. 

The programme has no fees, is self-paced and 

flexible. Students can start at any time of the year 

and can choose to study from home or at one of the 

Ara Computing for Free locations in Christchurch or 

Timaru. Enrolments are open now. 

Computing for Free focuses on digital skills 

Ara Institute of Canterbury is preparing students 

to operate in the digital workplace through 

Computing for Free. New qualifications are being 

introduced this year, with a focus on digital literacy. 

Computing for Free Manager Peter Nock says that 

the new qualifications reflect today’s digital business 

environment. They are delivered primarily online and 

encourage digital collaboration and problem solving. 


(Intermediate User) is open for enrolment now and 

equips students with the knowledge to use a broad 

range of technology to their advantage. 

“Rather than just teaching students to use specific 

software well, this qualification encourages them to 

become independent thinkers. They will learn to use 

technology to problem solve and come up with their 

own solutions, instead of relying on a textbook or 

their tutor.” 

While some familiarity with computing is needed 

to get started, beginners can complete some of 

Computing for Free’s non-assessed courses as 

a stepping-stone to build their basic skills and 

confidence first. 

“It doesn’t matter what level of knowledge you have, 

just come in and talk to us and we can come up with 

a pathway to suit you. We’re here to support you to 

fill in the gaps.” 

With 90% of the course content delivered online, 

the Level 3 qualification is highly flexible. Students 

can fit study in around their work and family 

commitments, and progress at their own pace. 

They can choose to study from home, the office, 

or at one of our Computing for Free locations in 

Christchurch or Timaru. 

A Level 4 qualification will also be introduced in 

2017 for people who want to further their skills. 


(Advanced User) will give students the expertise 

to analyse more complex data and become more 

efficient at doing business using technology. 

We’re here to help make your enrolment easy. Please call, email or visit our website for more information.

KNOWLEDGE AT WORK 

CHRISTCHURCH | ASHBURTON | TIMARU | OAMARU | ONLINE


5 essential skills for the digital workplace 

The skill-set for anyone who works in an office environment has changed dramatically in the past 10 years and it continues to 

change at a rapid pace. Ara Head of Computing Dr Nathan Rountree identifies the essential skills people need to thrive in the 

digital workplace. 

ESSENTIAL SKILL #1: 

ADAPTABILITY TO A RANGE 

OF DIGITAL TOOLS 

General digital confidence and competence is now 

essential for employment and career progression. 

Gone are the days of just training to use select 

computer programs, instead people need to be able 

to find and use the right digital tools to complete a 

variety of tasks. 


IT COMMUNICATION 

People need to understand enough about IT to 

communicate effectively with IT support in their 

organisation, or as part of running their own 

small business. An increased knowledge of the IT 

environment results in better communication, better 

functioning of teams and better business results. 


ELECTRONIC FILING CAPABILITY 

It is now an expectation that all staff in an 

organisation, from business administrators to 

managers, can make decisions about file storage. 

Everyone needs to have the ability to organise an 

electronic filing system that many other people are 

going to use, with differing levels of access. 


UNDERSTANDING TECHNOLOGY 

FOR BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT 

There are now endless digital tools that can help us do 

better, faster and more efficient business. It’s important 

that people are aware of how new technologies can be 

used to benefit them and their organisation. 


KNOWING HOW TO MAKE SENSE 

OF DATA 

Today almost all organisations are using data 

to make better decisions and there is a strong 

expectation that everyone in a business can look at, 

process and understand data. The most common 

way data is presented is in a spreadsheet and these 

have to be read by people who understand both 

data and spreadsheets. 

Computing For Free can help support you in acquiring these skills so you can be more effective in the workplace.
