SOLUTIONS TO ongoing problems at
the Riccarton bus lounge will drag on
for some time yet.
The lounge, on the corner of
Riccarton Rd and Division St, has
been plagued with youth issues since it
opened in December 2015.
Western News revealed last week that
a number of recommendations from
a working party were to be discussed
at the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board meeting on Tuesday
night – including more police presence
in the area.
The working party consisting of board
members, business and landowners,
police, community groups and residents’
association representatives have made
recommendations, which the Halswell-
Hornby-Riccarton Community Board
received at its meeting last week.
Three recommendations were
approved by the community board and
will go to the city council for further
discussion.
These are an additional police
presence, a bylaw which would allow
arrests and instant fines to be issued and
continued assistance for business owners
when removing graffiti. The other 16
recommendations will come back to the
community board for discussion in a
month’s time.

WHAT AN election it’s going to
be on Saturday night.
The best and potentially the
closest in many years, and one
which will shape the country’s
future for sometime.
Star Media, publisher of the
Western News, will be following
the election on our website www.
star.kiwi and we’ll have reporters
out on the street and bringing
you latest updates through the
afternoon and into the night.
The Star on Thursday will also
have an in-depth election preview.
The polls clearly show people
have shifted to voting for either
National and Labour and this
could spell doom for many
smaller party politicians who
have made it into Parliament on
the back of MMP.
Indications are voter turnout
will be high and which ever party
mobilises its supporters best on
Saturday will win.

New principal ready to lead
Fashion
• By Emily O’Connell
ST THOMAS of Canterbury
College’s new principal is
looking forward to his big move
down the hallway.
Deputy principal and head
of sport, Steve Hart, will
be principal starting at the
beginning of next year. Mr Hart
has been deputy principal for
10 years and has been with the
Gardening
school for 13 years.
He will be taking over from
the current principal Christine
O’Neill – who announced her
resignation earlier this year.
Mr Hart said he feels really
grateful to be leading the school.
“It’s an amazing place here.
We produce top quality young
men and I feel privileged to lead
Motoring
them and the school,” Mr Hart
said.
He is looking forward to
working with the staff and
helping develop them as leaders.
Mr Hart said his favourite
part of his role as deputy
principal was working with the
students.

“I love coming to work each
day. The students are honest and
enthusiastic and they always put
a smile on my face,” Mr Hart
said.

LATE NIGHT THURSDAY
Starts 28th September - Open till 6.30pm
Mr Hart said his role as head
of sport was another chance
to help young men develop.
He said they received the best
results when they focused on
performance goals rather than
the outcome.
“I read a quote once which
said ‘sport is a great practise
for life’ and this is so true,”
he said.
Mr Hart said St Thomas of
LAwyERS
Canterbury’s improvement in
sport is 100 per cent down to the
hard work staff members put in
when coaching and taking on
other voluntary roles.
He said the future is bright for
the school.
Board of trustees chairman,
Andrew Steel, said they are
“pleased to have someone of Mr
Hart’s calibre to lead the school
into the next stage of college life,

by the current principal Mrs
Christine O’Neill.”
“One of his focuses has been
the embedding of restorative
justice practices which has been
challenging and ultimately
successful,” Mr Steel said.
The board of trustees are
yet to decide on who will be
replacing Mr Hart as deputy
principal.

Improving ways to get
people from home to work
Halswell
Residents’
Association
secretary David
Hawke writes
about Halswell,
recent changes
and its future
WE ALL know that Halswell,
towns and suburbs around
Christchurch’s west will keep
growing. So, we have to work out
how to get people from where
they live to where they work.
I’ve recently done some
counting at the Lincoln Rd and
Whiteleigh Ave intersection in
the morning rush hour. People
on bicycles make up nine per
cent of the traffic entering
Addington village, and 11 per
cent are on the bus. The rest of us
are in cars, and 80 per cent have
just the driver.
There are two ways of approaching
this problem. First,
the big solution. Forget the new
motorway; people I know in
Rolleston are eagerly awaiting
it so they can zoom into the
central city, so the motorway
won’t help. How about light rail
(i.e. a modern-day tram) along
Halswell and Lincoln Rds?
Addington folks I’ve spoken to
are enthusiastic because it would
enhance their community.
Alternatively, there could be
lots of little solutions. Did you
know that secondary school
principals will no longer take out
of zone students? This will cut
down the hauling that happens
every school day. Then, there
is continuing to grow the city’s
cycleway network, and e-bikes
may get to be really important
for longer commutes. Doubling
the frequency of the buses from
15 minutes to seven to eight
minutes would help too, but this
starts to look like a convoy.
What about car sharing?
Sadly, people these days often
don’t know their neighbours so
they are hardly likely to share a
car with a person living blocks
away. Applying a levy on sole occupancy
cars at rush hour might
encourage this sort of chumminess,
but does city council have
the political will?
So, we are left with politically
difficult alternatives. Pay for light
rail, or charge single occupancy
vehicles. Personally, I think city
council will go with the light rail.
Readers respond to the
article about a proposal
by Fendalton residents
to make Rochdale St
‘residents only’ to stop
drivers using it as a
shortcut, which was
declined by the city council
Megan Bowie – I think I’ll
make a point of driving down
there now, every chance I get.
The arrogance is strong with this
street.
Janine Hale – How is it a
‘shortcut’ when it is a legal public
road . . . surely it’s just one of
many routes to get to a destination?
Jennie Moreton – Every
nasty comment reflects the bias
of the posters who have made
judgements about the people
living in Rochdale St – probably
without meeting any of them.
For the record, I don’t live there,
I have taken the shortcut down
that street in the past and I don’t
think any public road should be
closed to non-residents.
Daniel Thompson – How
would they police that? They’d
have needed to ask for checkpoints
at both ends of the street.
Then are the enforcers there on
rotating shifts 24/7 or would it be
accessed via some kind of swipe
card?
Stephanie Hagerty – It’s
a street not a private road. You
knew that when you bought
there.
John Bartlett – Head out to
east Christchurch and look at the
state of the roads there. Shocking
and they moan about a bit of
traffic.
Clarissa Douglas – This
street and its residents have a
lot of issues . . . If you don’t like
it move, I’m sure there’s people
out there who would love to live
there and not moan.
Jennie Moreton – What a
lot of nasty comments. If you
don’t ask, you don’t get, so why
shouldn’t they try? Didn’t work
but what’s the harm?
Chelcie Tamaira – I just
find this hilarious. Sorry. Do
they want to be like a Hollywood
gated community? It’s so funny.

Bus lounge problems
• From page 1
Local businesses have
declined to comment on
the issue but community
board deputy chairwoman
Helen Broughton said the
situation is not ideal.
“It’s quite hard to pass
a lot of recommendations
at a board meeting. My
guess is we will have a
workshop on them first,”
Mrs Broughton said.
Community board
chairman Mike Mora said
he thinks the community
board is doing its best.
“We’re going as quick
as we can. There are laws
in place now if somebody
breaches trespass orders
the police are contacted,”
Mr Mora said.
No police were at the
community board meeting
but Constable Aaron Thorn
said “the city council talks
about trespassing, they
seem to think we have the
power to trespass anyone
from anywhere but we can
only trespass people from a
private area.”
“They seem to think
we have powers in the
Summary Offences Act.
And there is one but the
problem is we have to

prove the person is about
to commit an offence
which can be quite
difficult,” Constable Thorn
said.
Removing WiFi is not
going to be solution to the
anti-social behaviour.
The community board
has taken away the word
‘removing’ and replaced
it with ‘using’ in the WiFi
recommendation.
The amended
recommendation reads
– The Halswell-Hornby-
Riccarton Community
Board request staff to
report back to the board
on the viability and
implications of using
the free WiFi from the
Riccarton bus lounge.
City councillor Vicki
Buck said the wording
needed to be changed
because the city council
is trying to extend WiFi
connections in central
city.
“Installing WiFi along
Riccarton Rd is a good
idea. WiFi is a basic thing
now. It should be on
buses. I’m not in favour
of removing access to the
internet,” Cr Vicki Buck
said.

WWE superfans
meet wrestling idol
• By Julia Evans
ZEINAT ALEBEL almost broke
down in tears when she met her
WWE professional wrestling
idol, Dean Ambrose.
The 18-year-old Sockburn
resident would describe herself
as a wrestling super fan.
Which was proved after she
and her sister Sofiya, 14, lined
up from 7am at The Hub Hornby
for the chance to meet Raw
tag team champion, Ambrose.
“My heart is racing,” she said.
Zeinat got Ambrose to sign
her cellphone, which she said
was now one of her favourite
possessions.
After the 3pm meet and greet,
the teens went to WWE Live at
Horncastle Arena – the only live
wrestling event in the country.
Zeinat said seeing WWE Live
was seven years in the making.
“Last time we saw them I was
11 and Sofiya was 7.”
But she said they’d both been
watching it on television for as
long as they can remember, if
not longer.
“I’ve been watching since
1999 and I was born in 1999,”

She, along with almost 300

get the wrist bands that would

ENI Engineering in Halswell’s
industrial outskirts.
It might not seem like a place
for creating art but the 15-yearold
Villa Maria College student
couldn’t wipe the smile off her
face.
Ruby saw the sculpture she
designed as part of the SCAPE

“It’s perfect. It’s exactly what I
had in mind. Absolutely perfect,”
she said.
The mammoth steel branch,
which will be fixed to a tree in
Hagley Park, was shaped by ENI
engineer Paul Bacon.
It’s not something he gets to do
very often.

Ruby’s mum Breda said her

Ruby won the chance to see
her sketches come to life after
winning the senior section of the
Re:ACTIVATE project.
“I don’t know how to explain
how it feels. It’s just really, really
cool to finally see it,” Ruby said.
The branch will be on display
for six weeks during the public
art season from October 7.
It will even feature as a stop
on the public walk, which takes
people on a tour of all the public
art in the city.
The teen said seeing the
branch had given her the drive
to keep chasing her creative

Break-in at taekwondo
club; gear stolen
Fashion
• By Emily O’Connell
A HEI Hei taekwondo club is
trying to make-do after gear was
stolen out of their shed last week.
Said KIX Taekwondo Christchurch
instructor, Jupiter Bignotea:
“Basically what was taken was
the gear that we use every day.
Gardening
We are a not-for-profit club so all
our funding is in the fees of the
students. When time accumulates
we will be able to buy some more
gear but getting all this gear will
take time,” he said.
The shed was broken into early
last Monday morning.
Forty-eight interlocking red
and blue mats, seven kick shields,
Motoring
eight paddle target pads, 16 focus
punch pads, two medicine balls,
a first aid kit, one boxing punch
bag, two agility ladders, two sets
of elastic bands, skipping ropes,
personalised screens and a novelty
gong were stolen.
Landlord, Tracey Buunk, said
Mr Bignotea is doing such a
Tasty Bites
good job with the club and it is
disappointing someone would
do this.
She said they have three sheds
and a container – which people
are working from because they
are building extensions.
“All the locks got cut off and
they went through items in the
other sheds but they took a lot of
Mr Bignotea’s stuff that he has
for the groups he runs – he runs
two sometimes three classes a
week. He has a good turnout of
local people, a lot walk to the
venue so this has really hit us
hard,” Mrs Buunk said.
Mrs Buunk said the estimated

NINETEEN silver birch trees
in Halswell residents have
campaigned to be cut down will
not face the axe.
John and Gillian Gartly along
with neighbours down Rempstone
Drive have been seeking
approval to cut the trees down
for 10 years.
Last week the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board
agreed with the staff recommendation
to leave the trees.
Mr Gartly described the
whole situation as a “typical city
council farcical, giving people
the concept they have some say,
when they really don’t, because
the decision is already made.”
Mr Gartly who has lived on
Rempstone Drive for nearly two
decades, said the trees cause
two problems for the residents
– they’re a nuisance and a
health risk. He thinks his wife’s
allergies are caused by them.
Community board deputy
chairwoman, Helen Broughton,
said: “If people come back as
a group, I’m happy to open it
up again. They have put a lot of
effort in to getting it this far. We

can come back to this if we need
to.”
Community board member
Debbie Mora questioned the
health risks of leaving the trees
on the residential street but
was reassured by city council
arborist Jonathan Hansen.
“Someone needs to prove that
the trees are the sole cause,” Mr
Hansen said.
Mr Hansen said they received
advise from the Canterbury
District Health Board and this
is the best they can do given the
circumstances.
Mr Gartly said they will
determine their next step
once they receive a copy of the
community board resolution.

“Now is the moment we’ve been
waiting for. It’s time. This is our
opportunity to build a better, fairer
future for New Zealand. To fix our
healthcare, grow our economy,
respect our environment and to look
after our towns as much as our cities.
It’s time to change things for the
better. I’m ready. We’re ready.”

As your local Member of Parliament, I listen to

be part of a Labour-led government that delivers
these things for all New Zealanders.

Disability group struggling for volunteers
Old library becomes thriving Halswell community hub
• By Emily O’Connell
THE OLD Halswell Library
building has been turned into a
new community hub.
Earlier this year, the Halswell
Community Project, along
with Community Development
Network Trust and Kiwi Church,
put a proposal to the Halswell-
Hornby-Riccarton Community
Board and city council for the
use of the old library.
The proposal was successful
and a lease for the building on
381 Halswell Rd was given in
June.
Halswell Community
Project co-ordinator Kate
Cleverly said the building
will have a community
focus.
“We plan to establish a
collaborative community

up office space, a large usable
community space, an
interview room and an
information hub where
people can drop in and
find details of local
clubs, organisations and

Other groups using the
hub include a Halswell

supports children, young people

for craftwork, recreation and
companionship.

Dot Johnston said the
group only has three volunteers
and that isn’t enough.

the cups of tea, clean dishes and
make sandwiches,” she said.
“I would prefer to be in with

She has been with the group for
about 40 years and loves seeing

chess set for the new hub.
He said the set took about
a year to create. “I got some
ideas off the computer, made the
shapes myself and just started to
make them,” Mr Reeves said.
“There were so many people
who were willing to give their

St Thomas’ league talent on trial
• By Andrew King
ST THOMAS’ Seth Tauamiti
and Jordan Riki have been
named in the New Zealand
Resident 18s team.
The team will compete
in a trial against Taurahere
– which is made up of
New Zealand-born players
currently plying their trade
in Australia – on Saturday in
Auckland.
A New Zealand 18s
team will be selected from
the match to take on the
Australian Schoolboys later
this month.
The last time a New Zealand
18s fixture took place was in
2015.
St Thomas’ league coach
Andrew Auimatagi said both
lads have a heap of potential
and it is great to see it being
recognised.
“They thoroughly deserve
it and have done really well. It
is great to see two young guys
able to start to make a career
out of it [league],” he said.
Tauamiti plays second row
in league and No 8 in union,
while Riki is a utility back in
both codes. Both play for the
St Thomas’ league team and
featured heavily in the school’s
first XV.
Celebration Lions second
row/centre Daniel Sakisi was
also included in the side. He
also played in the Shirley Boys’
High first XV team this year.

Prop takes conversion
in last game of season
• By Andrew King
ST THOMAS’ first XV prop
Tommy Taualai was given the
last opportunity of the season to
put points on the board with a
conversion attempt on Tuesday
against Oamaru’s St Kevin’s
College.
In the dying seconds of the
game, the year 13 student lined
up a kick from near the lefthand
touchline, as St Thomas’
supporters ramped up the
volume in an attempt to will the
kick over.
St Thomas’ won the game
38-12, running in six tries in
their final hit-out of the season,
reclaiming the G. Airey Cup in
the process.
The two schools have been
competing for the cup since
1961 in what has been a pretty
even tussle.
Theo Fowler, Sione Afemui,
Seth Tauamiti, Elisara Vaifale,
Cormack Tarrant and Patrick
Elia all grabbed five-pointers in
the win.
St Thomas’ attack coach Paul
Burton said it would appear
Taualai “really enjoyed the opportunity”
to try slot the conversion
from the sideline.
“It is not a normal thing, you
know, if there was a lot riding
on the points our regular
kicker would have taken it,” he
laughed.
In case you were wondering,
Taualai’s kick only just missed.
It was a great effort though, said
St Thomas’ deputy principal
Brendan Biggs.

WITH CRUMBED
EGGPLANT
Ingredients

parsley or chives
1 bottle Oil, enough for cooking
eggplant
2 cups Tomatoes, sliced or
chopped
2 whole Mozzarella cheese
1 cup Basil leaves
1 drizzle Lemon-infused olive
oil, to serve
Directions
Firstly crumb the eggplant. Dip
into seasoned egg, then roll into
the breadcrumbs and parsley
combined in another bowl. Set
aside in the fridge until ready to
cook.
Into a frying pan pour a little
oil. Fry the eggplant on a medium
heat to ensure they cook
right through, turning once to
brown both sides.
Onto a platter, place the eggplant,
tomatoes, torn mozzarella,
basil and salt and pepper. Drizzle
over the lemon infused olive oil
then serve.
MOZZARELLA AND PESTO
SCHNITZEL PARCELS
Ingredients
1 Salt & freshly ground pepper,
to season
8 slices Beef schnitzel
250g Mozzarella cheese, sliced
¼ cup Basil pesto
1 Tbsp Olive oil
Directions
Season schnitzel with salt
and pepper and lay on a work
surface. Arrange two slices of
mozzarella on one half of each
schnitzel and top each with a
heaped teaspoon of pesto.
Fold the empty side of each
schnitzel over to cover the filling
and secure by threading
two toothpicks through each
schnitzel parcel. Heat a non-stick
frying pan, add a film of oil and
place schnitzel parcels in the
pan. Cook over a medium heat
for 2 to 3min on each side, or
until browned on both sides and
cheese has melted.

Ingredients
½ cup Freshly squeezed orange

Directions
Put the juices (orange and
juice of one lemon) and honey
into a small pot and gently bring
to the boil. Simmer until reduced
by a third. Cool.
Place an orange on a board
and use a sharp serrated knife
to cut a slice off each end. Stand
the orange on one end and cut
off all the rind and pith. Lay the
orange on its side and cut into
thin slices. Place the slices in a
shallow bowl. Repeat with the
remaining oranges, laying the
mint leaves among the orange
slices.
Stone the dates and cut into
chunks. Pile on top of the orange
slices. Add the optional orange
blossom water to the syrup and
pour over the salad. If possible,

New branding,
new products
for family-run
health food co
The family-owned and locally operated
New Zealand Health Food Company
(NZHF) has seen steady growth since its
launch in 1988.
The company was founded by Rob
Haines as a way to introduce indigenous
products and nutritious ingredients
to New Zealand and the rest of the
world. He began creating product
lines that took advantage of New
Zealand’s diverse landscape and
pristine ocean waters, including two
collections of natural supplements,
Kiwi Natural Health and New Zealand
Health Food. These were followed by
KNH, another natural supplement line,
along with Manuka South, which includes
products that focus on the healing powers
of honey.
Now NZHF is introducing some new
products – including a long-awaited
new line of Manuka honey – and also
rebranding itself to reaffirm its place
as one of the country’s most popular
providers of supplements, super foods and
skincare.
The rebranding is designed to reflect
the growth NZHF has experienced since
its inception, with the company’s mission
being to continue providing a one-stop
shop for health-focused, high-quality
products including supplements, super
foods, skincare products, sports nutrition
and weight management, as well as
essential oils.
Many are produced using locally
sourced ingredients, with the company’s
exports helping to introduce the rest of

New research on Gingko
Biloba excites researchers!
GO-Advanced
Omega-PC
For decades scientists believed brain
damage with age, after a stroke or injury
was irreversible and brain neurons could
not be repaired. In more recent times, new
research has shown that neurons can grow
back with the right conditions and that a
special extract of Gingko Biloba (EGb-761
or TEBONIN) has been clinically found to
assist in this. The implications for stroke
recovery are obvious, but researchers also
know many of us suffer from undetected
“micro-strokes” that over a period of time
slowly reduce our cognitive function.
TEBONIN is prescribed worldwide as a
natural supportive agent for a healthy brain
and cognitive function. It supports healthy
mental performance, concentration, focus,
alertness, motor function and to help
with many conditions including tinnitus
(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo
and normal balance. TEBONIN improves
BOOST BRAIN
PERFORMANCE UP TO 30%
TEBONIN is the No 1 Ginkgo Biloba extract in the World with more than 8 million tablets
being consumed every day. It is also the most researched herbal extract with more than 60
controlled clinical studies & over 400 scientific studies. It has been shown to have excellent
efficacy, safety & tolerability. Millions of consumers have trusted TEBONIN for over 30
years to support blood flow, capillary health, brain health & performance.
Studies on TEBONIN Show:
- Improved Brain Performance & Function up to 30%. This includes improvement
in mental sharpness, focus, attention, concentration, understanding, memory & recall.
- Reduces errors made & mental stress.
- The only Ginkgo shown to increase activity in all areas of the brain. Can help restore
brain function after a brain injury such as from a stroke.
- Helps relieve tinnitus (ringing & noise in the ears), vertigo, dizziness & supports normal
balance.
- Improves blood flow to all areas of the body.
- Reduces plaque formation in the blood vessels.
- Protective effect against eyes damage caused by light.
micro-circulation and helps the blood flow
reach those critical places it needs to get to.
It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes the
red blood cells more pliable and capillary
walls more flexible.
TEBONIN is one of the most widely
studied and researched herbal products in
the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba
extract manufactured via a patented multistep
extraction process. Each small tablet
contains a highly concentrated 50:1 extract
to give you a therapeutic clinical dose
without having to take a large amount of
the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba products on
the market, and tested by a major medical
journal, only TEBONIN passed all five of the
test requirements. Ten brands didn’t meet
any requirements and the rest didn’t pass
more than three out of five requirements.
TEBONIN is the only Gingko biloba
extract shown to activate all areas of the
brain and is considered the gold standard
in Gingko. TEBONIN has been trusted by
millions of consumers worldwide for over
30 years with more than 8,000,000 tablets
consumed each day.

ONLY GO OMEGA-PC retains the natural Phospholipids that have been shown to be so beneficial for Good
Health BUT are lost in other brands of fish oil due to the less natural manufacturing processes used!
GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC SETS NEW STANDARDS IN FISH OIL!
Omega-3 fish oil normally contains the vital Omega-3 fatty acids in a triglyceride form. Fish however naturally
contain Omega-3 in a triglyceride & phospholipid form but until recently the phospholipid form was lost due to the

preserves the natural nutrient profile found in fish. Studies show GO OMEGA-PC offers superior absorption with
increased omega-3 fatty acids in organs giving the potential for more health benefits.

It is well known how important omega-3
fatty acids are to good health. It is estimated
most people don’t even get a third of the
recommended omega-3 fatty acids on
a weekly basis. Countries with a higher
amounts of omega-3 in their diet are known
to have lower cardiovascular disease and, in
many cases, better overall health.

Fish oil can help reduce inflammation
by providing essential fatty acids required
by the body to heal itself and maintain
good health. Until now most fish oil
only contained omega-3 fatty acids in
triglyceride form. Fish, however, naturally
contain omega-3 in triglyceride and
phospholipid form but until recently the
phospholipid form was lost due to the
manufacturing process.
GO-Advanced Omega-PC sets new
standards in fish oil as it contains
omega-3 attached to both triglycerides
and phospholipids. Studies have shown
GO-Advanced Omega-PC to be far better
absorbed, leading to increased levels of
vital omega-3 fatty acids in the organs
through giving the potential for more
health benefits.
GO-Advanced Omega-PC is produced
from fresh wild deep sea cold water fish
using a new advanced and more natural
cold extraction process that better preserves
the natural nutrient profile found in fish. It
is manufactured to high GMP standards
and is molecularly distilled to remove any
containments, toxins and heavy metals.
Further info on this revolutionary new
fish oil and its benefits is available from

and Medical Herbalist at Marshall’s

Kids love CASPA!
A child who’s ‘a
little different’
Children who are just ‘a little different’ – perhaps they’re
clumsy, have difficulty writing or tying shoelaces, or
prone to ‘meltdowns’, and struggle to fit in.
To interpret and function in the world
we need to accurately process information
from our environment.
Some children’s nervous systems
may receive, sort and use information
inaccurately (sensory processing) causing
them to either under or over reaction to
a sensation, or actively seek or avoid a
sensation.
This may cause distress for the
child, family and teachers,
as coping with everyday
experiences like
noisy classrooms,
the feel of fabric,
or moving in a
coordinated way
may present huge
challenges. It can
influence behaviour
and interfere with
learning, doing
everyday activities or
simply fitting in.
No child is the
same, each have
their own individual
difficulties.
Therapy Professionals Therapists
may be able to help improve the life
of these children and those around
them. Contact us at 3775280 or
www.therapyprofessionals.co.nz.
CASPA (Creative After School
Programmed Activities) incorporating
PAPA JACKS offers children the
opportunity to be creative, make new
friends and try new experiences all within a
safe, nurturing environment. CASPA offers

knowing their kids are safe and enjoying
the benefits of a quality after school
programme. Some parents and caregivers
also enjoy government subsidies for
CASPA. CASPA is Child Youth and Family

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.
