Thursday August 17 2023 5 New model to care for parks • From page 1 “Parks, gardens and reserves are so important to everyone in Christchurch and Banks Peninsula. They’re part of our identity. By making this shift, our parks will be getting top quality, tailored maintenance,” committee chair Cr Sam MacDonald said. “The council was facing an increase in operational costs which would have had an impact on rates so to get this moved inhouse where we can be flexible, have locally dedicated people maintaining local parks and avoid spending more ratepayer money is a real win. Keeping costs under control and staying within existing operational budgets was a big factor in the decision.” Said city council head of parks Andrew Rutledge: “The new in-house model will be an extension of the way the Botanic Gardens, Ngā Puna Wai, Hagley Park, regional parks, our garden and heritage sites and parks on the Akaroa Harbour side of Banks Peninsula are currently maintained. “The number of council staff in each team will be determined by the size and scale of the assets in each ward and we’ll be working through this over the next nine months to make sure we’re ready to hit the ground running in 2024.” Air Force, police beckon for Blue Light awardees TWO CATHOLIC Cathedral College students are considering careers in either the Air Force or police after collecting two of the top awards at Blue Light’s life skills programme. Mjade Tusa, 16, from Woolston won the peers’ choice award. “It means a lot to me to be trusted and respected by my peers. These were people that I had grown to trust and respect,” he said. Freddy Carter, 15, (left) from the central city won the overall excellence award. “I was very humbled by the decision the staff made and it was a great honour to be selected for this award,” he said. Both of them faced challenges such as a high wire course, mountain biking, along with leaderless tasks, drills, teamwork challenges, a bomb disarming challenge and physical activities through the programme that was held at Burnham Military Camp. Mjade said once they knew each other they could meet their challenges and obstacles. “This enabled us all to pitch in together and show our chemistry. We did this towards the end (of the camp) and it was an example of how well we had gelled together”. Freddy said the toughest challenge for him was working with new people and getting through the challenges. “The bomb challenge was the hardest for us as we did not have group synergy yet. This was tricky, but the challenge enabled us to learn how to improve and work as a team.” Both of them agreed that people should take part in the programme as it gives them another perspective on career BRIGHT FUTURE: Inspector Peter Cooper awards Mjade Tusa with the peers’ choice award. choices as well as a chance to make new friends. Blue Light South Island coordinator Nicola Paterson who was at the camp said Freddy won the award due to his maturity. “Freddy was awarded the overall excellence award through demonstrating the qualities of maturity, respect, intuition and through building individual and group mana. “Mjade was awarded the peers’ choice award through his efforts to foster a team environment, encouragement and respectful communication with fellow team members.” Learning curve • From page 1 “I’ve learnt a lot, I didn’t realise how different being a player to being a ref is. I’ve learnt more about rugby league now than I ever have. “I’ve got a lot better – when I first started I was all over the place, a bit confused. But because of the knowledge I’ve got now, I’m more on point.” While it’s early days in Ngahuru’s refereeing career, she harbours some lofty goals – but hanging up the playing boots is not on the cards anytime soon. “My goal is to one day ref a New Zealand game,” she said. “My daughter has just made New Zealand (age-group) this year, so it inspires me to keep doing what I’m doing, for her. “I love rugby league so much and I think I’ve got a few more years in me to be backing down from playing.” CRL director of football Jamie Lester praised Ngahuru’s attitude and commitment to building her refereeing skill set. “It’s awesome to see, Nella is leading the way in the female refereeing stakes in Canterbury. “It was great having a female referee role model for the 18s girls games and there was some really good feedback from the coaches about her progression over the three games,” he said.
