8 Wednesday June 3 2020 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz SELWYN TIMES Kirkwood Intermediate School of Choice Celebrating Kirkwood House Captains for 2020 Year 7 Camp Our Year 7 pupils have recently attended a camp at Purau Bay. This is a great way for the children to get to know each other. House Captains for Mansfield/Hillary Jamison - Ex Hoon Hay Primary I like Kirkwood Intermediate because I like meeting people from different cultures and I enjoy the opportunities Kirkwood offers like electronics in Technology. Aimee - Ex Clearview Primary Kirkwood provides many different sports opportunities and I like the school because I get to meet new people. This year I would like to become involved in the many sports opportunities and leadership rolls which Kirkwood offers. This would be a great achievement. House Captains for Sheppard/Freyberg Ragavi - Ex Lincoln Primary I like Kirkwood because of the traditional style of learning with kind and friendly staff, teachers and students. You get many opportunities to try new things (such as: sports; science fair; music; and technology). A school that recognises not only the curricular activities that students have achieved but also extra achievements of students outside the school (Blues awards). I wanted to be a House Captain so I could apply my skill of leadership and also gain strengths as a Year 8 pupil. At the same time I wanted to gain new challenges and get the opportunity to engage in a new working environment. This year I would like to keep my focus on contributing to extra-curricular and curricular activities. William - Ex Halswell School At Kirkwood I like how there are many opportunities for pupils to get involved in as well as the various activities offered which we have never tried before. I would like to fundraise for a charity like the Cancer Society. I wanted to gain experience in a leadership role representing a group, and to be able to bring ideas around and help people when they need support. My favourite part of camp was playing games with everyone and just hanging out with my friends. I enjoyed going to the beach and swimming. Some of the other camp activities which I enjoyed were: abseiling; pitching tents; Canadian canoeing; playing sports; bush walking; periwinkle hunting and beach time. My favourite part of camp was abseiling because all the adrenaline went rushing through my veins. I have never been abseiling before and it was really challenging for me. I also liked feeding the eels which slithered around my legs. I enjoyed playing in the reserve in the evenings. The games we played were “Predator” and “Kick the Container”. We had the most amazing parent helpers which we really enjoyed. We also learnt to cooperate with each other and it gave us an opportunity to get to know our class mates better. House Captains for Britten/Te Kanawa Anton - Ex Lincoln Primary School I like the opportunities Kirkwood has to offer including the academic and sporting options you can take part in. I would like to lead Britten/Te Kanawa house to success. I would also encourage all students to make the most of their time here at Kirkwood. Rosa - Ex Halswell Primary I enjoy Kirkwood due to the happy and friendly environment that I get to be in. This year I would like to gain more Blues awards, create a clean and tidy environment and have a fun Year 8. I really wanted this leadership opportunity because I love supporting and helping people who need it. House Captains for Rutherford/Batten Rylee - Ex Spreydon School Kirkwood gives me so many opportunities like sports, singing and experience in leadership. I like the teachers and the time in Technology. This year I would like to get into a softball and netball team. I have always wanted to be a House Captain and will make a good role model. Zavier - Ex Wigram Primary School I like Kirkwood because there are so many different opportunities here and we are lucky enough to go to Technology so that we can learn things to help us in the future. By the end of the year I want my house to be the best house of all the houses and win everything. I wanted to be a House Captain because I am very competitive and will do my best to help my House thrive to be the best at the end of the year. Open Day/Night Instead of our traditional Open Day/Night this year we are hosting small groups by appointment.

SELWYN TIMES Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Wednesday June 3 2020 9 News Useful tips to prevent rural crime Area response manager Senior Sergeant Dean Harker writes about police activity in the district THIS MONTH I am focusing on rural crime prevention because police are starting to get an increase in calls for service around rural burglaries. Over the last couple of weeks we have had a number of farmers’ sheds and outbuildings being targeted by thieves, offenders have been stealing chainsaw, tools and petrol and diesel. Fuel is being siphoned out of tractors and other farm machinery. This is a good time for farmers to check their security, there are some really good security cameras and alarms on the market at present designed for rural settings. Remember to keep note of serial numbers of electrical items and quad bikes etc. Crime prevention in rural areas is most effective when it involves a partnership between rural people, police, local authorities and local organisations. In Selwyn, we are very lucky to have a very strong community patrol set up, they are always on the lookout for more people to become involved in their patrol groups. We have a group in both the Malvern and Lincoln areas, contact your local police if you’re keen to become involved. Some points to remember are: Police can and will respond to rural crime. Keep in mind police may need to travel long distances to get to you. Phone 111 when you need immediate help with a life-threatening or timecritical emergency. Some emergencies will need more than one service (fire, ambulance and police). Ask for the service which is needed most urgently. All emergency services have links to each other and the first service called will notify the other services if they are required. For non-urgent situations, phone 105 or Dean Harker Selwyn Police visit your local police station. If there’s no immediate danger or the incident happened a while ago then it’s probably not an emergency. If you can’t decide if it’s a real emergency and you’re still worried, phone 111 and ask us. We’ll help you work out what to do. Clearly tag animals and keep accurate stock and produce records. Lock all rural buildings, houses and sheds etc. You should have a detailed inventory of all personal valuables and household and business equipment, including model and serial numbers, inscription, and other identifying features. Report all instances of crime – even when a police response is not necessary. Police need to know the pattern of crime in an area. You can help police by reporting all instances of suspicious behaviour or crime. It helps police to know who is in the community or if there is a pattern of crime developing in an area that needs further investigation. It also helps us to decide if the rest of the community should be alerted too. Be organised. Discuss and prepare. Rural Selwyn has a reputation for tight-knit supportive communities. You can help to keep safe by knowing your neighbours, exchanging phone numbers and keeping those numbers handy. Discuss what you could do to alert or assist each other in an emergency. It’s also a good idea to let neighbours know if you’re going on holiday or leaving your home overnight. Reduce the risk of becoming a victim of crime by taking precautions. If you live on a farm and are leaving the house to investigate something untoward, ensure someone knows where you’re going, as much as possible about what you’re checking, and how long you expect it to take. This could involve phoning the police or your neighbour, waiting for a neighbour to join you, and taking a mobile phone or handheld radio with you. Reduce risk by taking notice of who is out and about and talking to them (particularly if they aren’t locals), locking your house, removing keys, closing access gates (particularly to your driveway/house). And keeping an eye on each other’s property. 12 TO BE WON $500 CASH IN YOUR ACCOUNT 1 PER STORE $50 FOUR SQUARE GIFT CARD OVER $50,000 WORTH OF PRIZES TO BE WON SOUTH ISLAND WIDE WIN GROCERIES FOR A YEAR * 1 OF 4 PRIZES TO BE WON 9 TO BE WON $500 FUEL VOUCHER 2 TO BE WON POWERBILL PAID FOR THE YEAR** 7 TO BE WON $1,000 PREZZY CARD 12 TO BE WON SMITH CITY $500 APPLIANCE VOUCHER See www.foursquare.co.nz for all campaign T&C’s. *Prize will be in Four Square Vouchers, based on $100 per week spend. **Power Bill based on NZ average consumption per month and will be a bank deposit.
