FOR DEAF and blind sculptor 

Donald Gibson of New 

Brighton, it’s all about the touch 

and memory as he turns a large 

piece of Mt Somers limestone 

into a bird. 

A distant memory of seeing 

a seagull gliding on a breeze at 

the beach, when he was much 

younger and had partial sight, 

allowed him to make a detailed 

clay model of it. Now he’s 

transforming that memory into 

a large stone sculpture. 

But it won’t be a short-term 

exercise as Mt Somers stone 

is hard, much harder than 

Oamaru stone. 

Its very denseness allows 

artists to get clean, sharp lines, 

making it highly valued for its 

quality and durability. 

A fully-sighted artist would 

rip into it using a variety of 

power tools, helping the bird 

emerge from within the stone, 

but for Gibson, using only his 

hands and a small number of 

tools, his many friends expect 

it will take him several years to 

complete, but he’s got the time. 

Every day he sits in the New 

Brighton community garden 

space at the Rawhiti Domain, 

tapping away with his chisels.

Discounts offered for 

2nd birthday celebrations 

Specialist shoe store The Shoe Room in Upper 

Riccarton is celebrating its second birthday, and to 

mark the milestone they are running a week-long 

discount promotion. 

From Monday, November 22 through to Saturday, 

November 27, customers are invited to participate 

in a Lucky Dip, in which they will receive discount 

vouchers ranging in value from 20 per cent to 50 per 

cent for any purchase made on the day. 

The locally owned business was established by 

Podiatrist Charlotte Russell in November 2019 to 

complement her podiatry clinic Feet First, located in 

Main South Road. 

Carol, left, and Maxine display examples of the 

new summer collection at The Shoe Room. 

Charlotte freely admits, it has been a hard two years. 

“We opened just a few months before the first 

lockdown and with the ongoing Covid restrictions it’s 

been difficult. But we are still here and very excited to 

celebrate our second birthday!” 

Despite the pandemic-related problems retailers 

have faced, The Shoe Room has established a loyal 

customer base, which Charlotte attributes to the 

service and personal attention customers receive 

from the team. 

“That’s our point of difference. The shop manager 

Maxine and shop assistants Carol and Maree are 

friendly and welcoming, so they are able to build 

a rapport with customers by providing that allimportant 

personal service and expertise, making 

sure customers get shoes that fit correctly, are 

comfortable and look fabulous on their feet.” 

Now, with the arrival of spring, The Shoe Room has 

received an exciting new range of footwear for the 

warmer months ahead. The selection includes the 

popular Archie jandals from Australia. Made from EVA 

rubber, these jandals mould to the shape of the foot, 

making them very comfortable and easy to wear, plus 

they are available in several fresh, summery colours. 

Among the other quality brands on display are 

Frankie 4, also from Australia, and the ever-popular 

Ziera, with many styles designed to accommodate 

orthotics. 

The Shoe Room is located at Unit 3, 355 Riccarton Road, opposite the Lone Star. 

Opening hours are Monday 10am - 5.30pm, Tuesday to Thursday 9.30am - 5.30pm, 

Friday 9.30am - 4.30pm, Saturday 10am - 3pm. Off street parking available.

from the wide selection for The Shoe Room’s 

birthday celebrations. 

Customers are invited to choose their new summer 

footwear during next week’s birthday celebrations 

and take advantage of the Lucky Dip discounts.

Road, opposite the Lone Star. Opening hours are

Anzac fronds ‘unfurled’ in ceremony 

Donate an hour of your time 

to help save a life. 

FOUR ANZAC fronds have 

finally found a new home. 

A ceremony to mark the 

unveiling of the Anzac fronds in 

their new position at the Anzac 

Drive–New Brighton Rd intersection 

was held on Monday. The 

fronds, which were originally 

placed on Anzac Bridge in 2000, 

have been in storage since 2011, 

following the earthquakes. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel hosted 

the official “unfurling” of the 

fronds, which are made of preweathered 

steel. 

Celeste Donovan, who was 

recently elected Coastal Ward 

councillor, was also sworn in as a 

member of the Coastal-Burwood

The face mask that doesn’t cause fogging 

NO FOGGING: New Brighton 

Stitch-O-Mat facilitator 

Julie Donaldson stumbled 

across the mask cure-all in a 

YouTube video clip. 

PHOTO: JOHN COSGROVE 


FOR THOSE who wear glasses, 

Covid-mandated face masks 

are a daily nuisance as they 

constantly cause specs to fog up, 

but a solution is on hand. 

New Brighton Stitch-O-Mat 

facilitator Julie Donaldson said 

she recently stumbled across the 

mask cure-all in a YouTube video 

clip and was so impressed she 

sent the link to fellow facilitator 

Samantha Fay. 

“She made one within a couple 

of hours and thought it was a 

brilliant idea. We then both 

made some and offered them for 

sale in nearby charity shops,” 

Donaldson said. 

“They were snapped up and 

many people said they were life 

changing, as they stopped their 

glasses from fogging up when 

wearing masks.” 

Since then, Donaldson has 

been teaching people how to cut 

out, create and sew the layered 

cotton reusable masks, which 

have a extra material flap on 

their design that stops 

fogging. 

“It’s been a very popular 

sewing exercise and there is a lot 

of interest in making them 

at each of our sessions,” she 

said. 

Stitch-O-Mat is a community 

organisation that helps people 

with their sewing projects. 

Facilitators are available onsite 

for a couple of hours most 

days, including Sunday, to help 

those who want to use their 

facilities or learn how to sew or 

repair damaged clothing. 

Donaldson said Stitch-O-Mat 

has been in the Surfside Mall 

at New Brighton since Easter. 

They had to move from their 

original site inside the old New 

Brighton School, which has 

been scheduled for demolition 

to make way for a housing 

development.

‘His art work speaks for him’ 

• From page 1 

To observers, many said they can now 

see the obvious shape of a seagull rising 

from within the 23 million year-old stone 

chunk. 

Gibson, well known in the district for 

his stone sculptures, moved to the garden 

site after his original base at the former 

New Brighton school site was scheduled 

for demolition to make way for 65 new 

homes. 

Helped by fellow sculptor Julie Tuihana, 

Gibson uses Tuihana’s eyes to guide his 

hands, to feel the curves, to sense the 

shapes and to not cause injury to himself. 

As one quickly understands when you 

meet Gibson, his hands are his only means 

of communicating with the world. 

Carer Maree Bone acts as his voice using 

a special form of sign language he learnt 

before his sight impairment advanced 

Two children’s climbing 

boulders will be moved 

to QEll Park as part of the 

planned playground area. 

The proposal to install the 

climbing boulders at QEII 

was approved at a Coastal- 

Burwood Community 

Board meeting. The 

boulders, currently sitting 

in the central city on the 

corner of Manchester 

and Lichfiled Sts were 

first installed in 2016 

near the bus interchange 

before being moved to the 

East Frame in 2018. The 

community board is looking 

at concept plans for the 

installation of the boulders 

by the end of November. 

too far. 

She uses her fingers to touch his fingers, 

hands, arms, face and shoulders – and the 

pair talk about everything. 

“He’s pretty good at communicating 

with people and creating art works,” Bone 

said. 

“His art work also speaks for him as he 

makes these wonderful clay shapes, which 

he then uses as the base models for his 

larger stone pieces.” 

She said before Gibson lost his sight he 

was right into photography and many 

forms of multimedia art. 

“Losing his sight didn’t stop him, he 

just carried on with his passion for art, he 

knows what he wants and has been working 

with stone for over 30 years,” she said. 

Gibson said he welcomes visitors to the 

garden, to call in and have a look at what 

he is doing.

Gosh its fast approaching 

that magical, happy, exciting 

time of the year - the lead up 

to Christmas and the summer 

holiday season. I really love 

December, although there is 

never enough hours in the day 

for all the things I need to get 

done. While it’s a chaotic time 

for us, it can also spell disaster 

for our pets. Below are some 

Christmas dangers to keep a 

watch on. 

Here is a list of FOODS to look 

out for 

1. Chocolate is poisonous 

(tachycardia , seizures, vomiting, diarrhoea) so 

make sure you don’t leave chocolate under the 

tree or in easy to reach places as chances are, it 

will be found. Chocolate contains the stimulant “ 

theobromine” which is lethal. 

2. Christmas pudding and fruit cakes contain 

raisins (grapes) which are toxic to your pets 

kidneys leading to lethargy, vomiting and thirst. 

3. Alcohol and caffeine are also toxic too. Alcohol 

can be found also in Christmas cakes and as little 

as one ounce of alcohol can kill a cat. 

4. Avocados contain persin which causes 

symptoms from vomiting and diarrhoea to 

cardiac arrest. 

5. Macadamia nuts cause vomiting, weakness 

and tremors. 

6. Onions and chives contain disulphides which 

damage your pets RBCs. 

7. Pits and seeds of plums, peaches and apples 

have a substance that degrades to cyanide 

which is toxic. Large stones can also cause 

intestinal blockage. 

8. Xylitol (an ingredient in chewing gum) causes 

HYPOglycaemia in dogs and can lead to seizures 

and liver failure in severe cases. 

9. Corn cobs should never be allowed to be 

chewed on as they will obstruct in the small 

intestine requiring surgery. 

10. Turkey, crackling, salmon skins, fatty meats, 

sausages can all cause vomiting and diarrhoea 

and may lead to pancreatitis. 

11. Blue cheese contains 

Roquefortine C, which is very 

sensitive to dogs. 

Other potential hazards 

include 

- Christmas decorations that 

can be swallowed. 

- SNOW Globes as they contain 

“Anti Freeze”. 1 tsp is lethal to 

a cat. 

- Cover up cords used to light 

the tree to avoid an electric 

shock or any tongue/ gum 

lacerationsl 

- Secure the tree so if scaled by 

your cat, it wont fall over and crush 

the cat. 

- Keep tree lights and candles away 

from pets to avoid shocks and burns. 

- Pine needles are toxic if ingested 

and can cause internal puncture 

wounds. 

- Sparkley tinsel is attractive to cats, 

but if ingested will require surgical 

intervention as it gets bound up in the 

gastrointestinal tract. 

- Wrapping paper - if enough is ingested it will 

obstruct the bowel. 

Heading into this festive season, make sure you 

have their vaccinations, flea and worming up 

to date, so if a vacation stay is likely, their health

won’t be compromised. We 

have a warm, well ventilated, 

very clean and quiet upstairs 

CATTERY if you fury friend 

needs a place to be cared 

for while you take a summer 

holiday. Do thorough research 

before selecting a a boarding 

facility to make sure its the 

right fit for your pet. 

Avoid HEATSTROKE by never 

leaving your dog in a car with 

inadequate ventilation. Four 

windows opened a fraction 

doesn’t qualify. Dogs can also 

suffer heatstroke left in a yard 

with no water or shade, if exercising heavily in 

the heat, dogs being muzzled for long periods in 

the heat or being exposed to a hairdryer for too 

long. Dogs with a restricted airway (such as the 

brachycephalic breeds, pugs, boxers, bulldogs) 

are at an increased risk again. 

A dogs body temperature can elevate quickly 

in a car getting up over 41 degrees. A dog in 

heat stroke is agitated, breathing rapidly, has dry 

dark red gums, can be disorientated and can 

seizure. Animals have only a small amount of 

sweat glands located in their footpads making 

sweating minimal, so their primary way of 

regulating body temperature is by panting. Safe, 

controlled reduction in body temperature is 

achieved by pouring cool water completely over 

the dog, and then draping wet towels over and 

taking regular temperatures. 

Holiday house plants decorate a room but can 

be lethal to pets. Most cause intestinal upsets 

or renal disease. Some common plants to watch 

for are lillies, Azaleas, Ivy, Mistletoe, Holly and 

Chrysanthrmums. 

Toys and batteries are a no go too. Ingested 

they can cause renal damage and pancreatitis 

if they contain Zinc. Intestinal blockage is also 

a real possibility - not an expense you want on 

Christmas morning at the After Hours. 

There are more folks out and about enjoying 

their dogs, so please keep social distancing, and 

keep a close eye on doggie interactions. Dog 

fight wounds can be real nasty 

and require an anaesthetic to 

debride and close. 

Also make sure your pet is 

MICROCHIPPED and registered 

on the NZL database in case of 

misadventure or wandering off. 

On an aside, Macy (our 18 

month old Lab) and Maximus 

(our 7.5kg Ginger cat) both 

underwent surgical operations 

recently, successfully I 

might add. Macy had 

her big girl operation 

- Ovariohysterectomy” 

and Maximus got into 

a nasty altercation with 

a newcomer to the 

neighbourhood, which 

resulted in a corneal 

laceration. Very lucky 

his dad is the EYE vet. 

Steve operated after work 

one night by suturing a 

conjunctival graft over the 

lacerated cornea. Max now 

has full sight back in both 

eyes and no more “heats” 

for Miss Macy. 

Merry Christmas to you all and THANKYOU for 

supporting McMaster & Heap during a trying and 

difficult year living with Covid and trusting Steve, 

Michele and our brilliant team with your special 

furry friends, who we adore I might add.

Will 

by Will smith and mark manson 

The ‘Event’ Autobiography of the Year - a brave, inspiring and wildly 

entertaining memoir full of self-help lessons for readers, from one of the 

world’s most charismatic and much-loved actors. One of the most dynamic 

and globally recognised entertainment forces of our time opens up fully about 

his life, in a brave and inspiring book that traces his learning curve to a place 

where outer success, inner happiness, and human connection are aligned. 

Along the way, Will tells the story in full of one of the most amazing rides 

through the worlds of music and film that anyone has ever had. This memoir 

is the product of a profound journey of self-knowledge, a reckoning with all 

that your will can get you and all that it can leave behind. The combination 

of genuine wisdom of universal value and a life story that is preposterously 

entertaining, even astonishing, puts Will the book, like its author, in a category 

by itself. 

Shackleton - A biography 

by ranulph Fiennes 

An authoritative biography of Sir Ernest Shackleton from polar adventurer 

Ranulph Fiennes. In 1915, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s attempt to traverse the 

Antarctic was cut short when his ship, Endurance, became trapped in ice. 

The disaster left Shackleton and his men alone at the frozen South Pole, 

fighting for their lives. Their survival and escape is the most famous 

adventure in history. Shackleton is an engaging new account of the 

adventurer, his life and his incredible leadership under the most extreme of 

circumstances. Written by polar adventurer Sir Ranulph Fiennes who followed 

in Shackleton’s footsteps, he brings his own unique insights to bear on these 

infamous expeditions. 

Shackleton is both re-appraisal and a valediction, separating the man from 

the myth he has become. 

The Spirit of Cardrona: Where Dreams 

are Hatched 

the inspirational story of the cardrona distillery 

by desiree reid-Whitaker 

‘Ever since I was really little, I have dreamed big dreams. It’s nice to imagine what 

could be, and leave it at that. But I’ve never been that sort of dreamer. I’ve always 

wanted to take one of my dreams, find just the right one-and turn it into something 

real.’ The Spirit of Cardrona is the story of how former dairy-farmer Desiree 

Reid-Whitaker and her husband Ash took a risk to realise a dream of setting up 

a world-class distillery. Their quest to produce a single-malt whisky that would 

compete with the best whiskies in the world is classic story of Kiwi persistence, 

sacrifice and self-made success. It’s also a modern-day tale of living off the land in 

the high-country. The Spirit of Cardrona is an inspirational business story that will 

appeal to anyone who loves a bold, brave and brilliant entrepreneur. 

Last Shot 

by Jock Zonfrillo 

A coming-of-age memoir of addiction, ambition and redemption in the highstakes 

world of Michelin star kitchens. From reckless drug addict to one of 

Australia’s top chefs and television stars: MasterChef judge Jock Zonfrillo’s 

powerful life story will shock and inspire. Jock’s life spiralled out of control 

when he tried heroin for the first time as a teenager while growing up in 1980s 

Glasgow. For years he balanced a career as a rising star amongst legendary 

chefs with a crippling drug addiction that took him down many dark paths. On 

New Year’s Eve 1999, Jock shot up his last shot of heroin before boarding a 

plane to Sydney, where he would find passion and new meaning in life in the 

most unexpected places. There would be more struggles ahead, including two 

failed marriages, the closure of his prized restaurant during COVID-19, his time 

on-country, and some very public battles. This is his unforgettable story. 

Clare Reilly: Eye of the Calm 

by clare reilly 

An exploration of New Zealand painter Clare Reilly’s life and work. The 

mixture of autobiographical writing and gorgeous paintings subtly shows 

how Reilly’s art and experiences are entwined. Her themes cover the issues 

of habitat destruction and renewal, depicting native New Zealand birds in 

the landscape as metaphors for joy. In an increasingly troubled and fast 

paced world, Reilly’s work offers the viewer a place to reflect on the healing 

qualities of nature and gather a sense of revitalisation. ‘Eye of the Calm’ 

was an exhibition title used by Reilly as an expression of her life’s work. 

This expression is continued here with an insight into her beginnings as an 

artist and her subsequent career. Reilly has a strong connection to coastal 

New Zealand and a great love of the country’s wildlife. A beautiful, meditative 

exploration of a life and a life’s work.

Clean up a way of giving back to the river 

PROACTIVE: Shirley Boys’ High School rowing 

team, which undertook a river clean up, and 

some of the rubbish they collected. 


PICKING UP rubbish from both 

sides of the Avon River around 

the Kerrs Reach area was a 

community project undertaken 

by the Shirley Boys’ High School 

rowing team. 

The river clean up was, as they 

saw it, a way of giving back to 

the river, a place they use heavily 

during the summer rowing 

season. 

Shirley BHS outdoor and 

physical education teacher Roger 

Miller said it was a good idea by 

the students. 

“The concept in itself is an 

interesting one, as often people 

who partake in leisure activities 

– for example, mountain biking, 

fishing, surfing – use the natural 

environments around them, but 

what do they give back to these 

places?” he said. 

“This message of kaitiakitanga 

is one we are trying to get across 

to not only our sports teams, 

but all of our students at 

Shirley Boys’ High School.” 

He said the boys sought help 

from organisations such as the 

Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai 

Trust, which supplied the team 

with equipment, such as needle 

containers, as they tackled 

the clean up on both sides of 

the river near the rowing club 

buildings. 

“A total of 25 lads from the 

school’s rowing squad took part, 

and we took about two hours to 

collect the rubbish from both 

sides of the Ōtakaro. 

“We wanted to show people that 

youth are keen on giving back to 

the land, and this also may inspire 

other sports groups, including 

other rowing teams, to do the 

same,” Miller said.

Community tool shed now up and running 

• By Fiona Ellis 

AIMING TO fix a community 

problem, Steve Jones-Poole has 

not just one tool at his disposal, 

but more than 200. 

He is the co-ordinator of the 

recently opened Shirley Tool 

Shed, which lends tools to the 

community for a yearly membership 

cost of $20. 

Jones-Poole said it was a high 

social-housing area, and people 

may not have access to affordable 

equipment for DIY and repair 

projects. 

“People just don’t have access 

to tools that they need to maintain 

their properties,” he said. 

“Someone could walk in there 

with nothing and walk out with 

everything they need to build a 

deck,” he said. 

House-cleaning equipment, 

such as mops and brooms, were 

also available to borrow, as was 

gardening equipment, from 

rakes to weed eaters. 

Since a jigsaw sliced through 

a wooden ribbon to officially 

open the shed two weeks ago, 

membership had been quietly 

building. 

“Our first hire was somebody 

who had a property inspection 

coming up. They hired the vacuum 

cleaner so they could clean 

the house, and they’ve since been 

back and got gardening tools and 

mowers and that sort of thing.” 

Jones-Poole said the shed was 

“doing exactly what we hoped”. 

It was also a good community 

connection point that would 

reach a new demographic, 

he said. 

“Some people won’t go and sit 

down at the community cafe, but 

they’ll come along and talk tools.” 

Jones-Poole was “very pleased” 

that the tool shed was now up 

and running. 

A Shirley Village Project community 

activator, the shed had 

been a goal of his for a few years, 

but time had been needed to 

organise the project and secure 

donations and equipment. 

“We’re working with residents 

to identify what’s important to 

them in the community and 

what they would like to see

change and help and support 

that to happen,” he said. 

Located at 33 Briggs Rd, the 

tool shed is open on Wednesdays 

from 4-6pm.

Fresh spring veges signal warmer days 

Spring bouquet focaccia 

Ingredients 

3 tsp active dry yeast 

1 ½ cups hot (not boiling) 

water 

4 cups high grade flour 

1 ½ tsp Himalayan salt 

Olive oil (for drizzling) 

Rock salt (for sprinkling) 

Selection of spring 

vegetables, such as asparagus, 

spring onions and colourful 

baby carrots. 

Directions 

Place yeast, hot water, flour, 

Himalayan salt in a stand 

up mixer with the K attachment. 

Beat slowly to start then 

increase the speed and beat 

another 2-3min until it stops 

being sticky and starts to come 

together. It will be a wetter mix 

than traditional bread dough. 

Scrape the dough into a 

oven proof round or oval dish 

drizzled with a lot of olive oil 

then decoratively place veggies 

on top. 

Think about a bouquet of 

flowers while you are doing it. 

Drizzle with more olive oil and 

set aside for an hour to prove. 

Once it has doubled in size 

(at least), drizzle with more oil, 

sprinkle with salt and pop into 

a pre-heated 190 deg C oven for 

around 30min until browned 

on top but the veggies still hold 

their colour. 

Eat with all the yummy things 

(like asparagus lentil salad with 

walnut sauce).

Pastry of your choice 

•Filling 

2x tins chickpeas 

1x 270g jar sun-dried

3 Tbsp tahini 

1 Tbsp fresh rosemary 

2 Tbsp capers (optional) 

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

golden brown and the vegetables 

are cooked through but not

little crunchy/raw). 

Drizzle with oil, fresh herbs and 

flowers and eat in the sunshine 

with friends.

Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi

It is not my strength alone, but the strength 

of many that contribute to my success 

The Ministry of Education has been working with 

Haeata Community Campus to establish an amendment 

to our current enrolment scheme to include a special 

programme - Special Programme - Māori Medium 

Bilingual - Te Reo Māori. 

A special programme is defined in Section 10 of the Education 

and Training Act 2020 as one that has been approved by the 

Secretary of Education for the following reasons: 

i) it provides Māori language immersion classes that take a 

significantly different approach in order to address particular 

ākonga needs; 

ii) it would not be viable unless it could draw from a catchment 

area beyond the school’s home zone; 

iii) entry is determined by an organisation or process that is 

independent of the school. 

Haeata Community Campus requires an amendment to our 

enrolment scheme to include a special programme based on te 

reo Māori me ōna tikanga. 

Criteria for Enrolment 

1. Special Programme - Māori Medium Bilingual - Te Reo Māori 

Ākonga who meet the criteria for enrolment in the Special 

Programme - Māori Medium Bilingual - Te Reo Māori and live 

within the Haeata Community Campus home zone must be 

enrolled ahead of out of zone students. 

2. Out-of-zone ākonga who meet the criteria for enrolment in 

Special Programme - Māori Medium Bilingual - Te Reo Māori 

have priority in enrolment above all other out-of-zone ākonga 

while Special Programme - Māori Medium Bilingual - Te Reo 

Māori places are available. 

3. All ākonga who live within the Haeata Community Campus 

home zone will have an entitlement to attend the kura. This 

amendment does not change the home zone already approved for 

Haeata Community Campus. 

The Haeata Community’s Campus board feels it is very important 

that it hears and understands community perspectives before it 

establishes this amendment to the enrolment scheme at Haeata 

Community Campus – especially the wording of the proposed 

special programme. 

The information listed below is available on the kura’s website 

and from the reception desk. Please take the time to read the 

information and to participate in the consultation process. 

The amended enrolment scheme to include the Special 

Programme - Māori Medium Bilingual - Te Reo Māori will 

commence from 01 January, 2022. 

The purpose of an enrolment scheme is to assist the Board to 

manage the risk of overcrowding, provide a fair and transparent 

process for enrolment and to ensure the best decisions are made 

around the use of schooling facilities across the network of local 

schools.

to te reo Māori me ōna tikanga as observed by Kōmanawa and Te 

Roopu Whakahaere. 

Whānau must demonstrate a strong commitment to using te reo 

Māori me ōna tikanga in the home. 

Entry is determined by our Kaihautū Māori and Te Roopu

Community Campus. 

If there are more applicants than spaces available in the

6. All other applicants. If there are more applicants in any priority 

group than places available, a ballot will be conducted. Priority

closest geographical bilingual te reo Māori provision. 

What happens next? 

Email your feedback to admin@haeata.school.nz 

After consultation is finished, the Ministry of Education will 

collate all feedback and process this information to ensure it 

meets the requirements of the Education and Training Act 2020 

(Schedule 20, Clause 5). 

If the Ministry is satisfied that the enrolment schemes meet 

these requirements, the enrolment scheme will be finalised and 

provided to the Board.
