A change of heart

THROUGH IT ALL: Kilbirnie resident and pastor for Kilbirnie Salvation Army Joe Serevi has seen both sides of life. PHOTO: Emma Morgan

By Sam Whittle

Joe Serevi spends his days min-istering, reaching out to gangs and looking after his wife and children.

Gone are the days of cultivat-ing and selling cannabis, abusing women, and sleeping on the streets of Fiji.

Joe, 50, has lived in New Zealand for 18 years. He met his kiwi wife at

a Salvation Army camp in Fiji and made the move to New Zealand.

The life he leads now is one he never imagined for himself, he says.

“I never thought I could be in the position I am in. If I had of kept living the life I was before, I don’t know where I would have ended up, I would probably be dead.”

Continued from page 2Joe left school at the age of 12

to be a farmer. He says despite his parent’s christian teachings, he was the “black sheep” in the family and made the wrong decisions.

“I was a violent person. I was an alcoholic and drug addict.

I lived that life for 15 years.”He grew cannabis to take to

the city to be sold, and there was rarely a moment he was sober.

“I would drink and smoke every day. I would wake up and drink. If I fi nished a bottle. I would go and buy another one.”

Even at Sunday morning service, Joe was drunk in the bleachers.

“In our culture church is so important. It didn’t matter that I

was hung-over or drunk. It was expected I went.”It took the detachment of his

seven siblings, and a brawl induced coma to make Joe wake up.

Ironically, he was standing in the middle of one of his can-nabis fi elds when he decided to embrace the christian religion.

“I changed my direction. I never believed I could get mar-ried because everyone was run-ning away from me.

“I have been clean for over 20 years. I tell my story and use it to help. I am not telling what the bible says, I am telling my own story.”

He says the Salvation Army is his resource for helping to connect with people and being

active in the community. “I want to reach the people that

are hard to reach. If we don’t go

to them, they won’t come to us. I want our community to be a better place.”

Flour, eggs, butter, milk and sugar was all it took to raise more than $4000 for the SPCA last week.

More than 200 people in the Greater Wellington Region donned their aprons and baked cupcakes for a cause for the SPCA’s annual cupcake day.

The SPCA cares for around 5,000 animals every year and thanks to sweet-toothed lo-cals the charity now has much needed funds to help them do

their work.The Wellington SPCA, located

in Newtown, held their cupcake day stall outside Farmers on Lambton Quay, selling more than 1000 cupcakes that were generously donated from vari-ous businesses throughout Wel-lington.

SPCA supporter engagement manager Victoria Hale says it was really awesome to see locals buy cupcakes and donate generously on the day.

“Seeing and hearing the sup-port from hundreds of Wel-

lingtonians wanting to help the SPCA and do their part for the animals was a highlight,” she says.

“We sold out of cupcakes by the end of the day.”

Everyone was in the baking spirit on Monday, with some staff members from the Min-istry of Business, Innovation and Employment setting up a stall in a meeting room raising a whopping $2,187.

25 volunteer bakers from MBIE put on their aprons and whisked up more than 700

cupcakes. The meeting room was com-

pletely packed full of people all morning getting their sugar fi x for the day.

Project manager at the MBIE Alexa Patterson volunteers at the SPCA and says she and col-league Stef Isaac wanted to help the SPCA because they both love dogs, and also love baking.

We thought we would be there all day selling cupcakes, but we were wrong. We had sold 95 per cent of our cupcakes by 11am, Alexa says.

By Fiona Donnellan If the thoughts of helping

to rebuild Nepal home by home sounds like something you’d be interested in read on. Habitat for Humanity New Zealand are offering the “opportunity of a lifetime” for New Zealanders to travel to Nepal and help build 100 homes in November of this year.

“The invitation is open to any adults who would like to

make a difference for people who “desperately need a de-cent place to live,” says Habitat New Zealand chief executive Claire Szabó.

The building will take place for just under a week in Pokhara, Nepal. Pokhara is located 200 kilometres north-west of Nepal's capital, Kathmandu.

Habitat are seeking a total of 200 New Zealanders to help with this particular project, the criteria for individuals isn’t

limiting as all ages and levels of experience are required to build alongside Nepali families and other interna-tional volunteers, aiming to complete the houses in just one week.

The families set to move into the newly built homes are currently living in insuffi cient housing and poor conditions with limited access to water and sanitation.

No construction experience is required as each person will

be offered full training and supervision will be given by Kiwi team leaders during the trip. The group of volunteers will aim to build more per-manent homes using treated bamboo framing and other simple materials.

“People who've travelled to previous Habitat builds in Nepal overwhelmingly tell us it was a life-changing experi-ence,” says Claire. For further information see www.habitat.org.nz.

Car park changesShoppers at Island Bay New World

will soon be seeing changes at the shop as the car park is expanded.

The ‘fish shop’, which is yellow-stickered and earthquake-prone, will be demolished to make way for an additional 13 car parks

A new retail shop will also be built on The Parade for a future use.

Angela Bull, from Foodstu� s, says the construction works at New World will create a bigger car park enabling customers to park easily at the store.

Work is expected to be complete by the end of 2015 and New World Island Bay will remain open throughout construction.

Game timeTo celebrate UNESCO International

Literacy Day a giant game of scrabble is set to be held in the foyer of Wel-lington Railway Station.

Literacy Aotearoa Wellington is organising the game which will take place on Tuesday September 8 from 7.30am till 1pm.

In previous years the scrabble game has been held at Wellington’s Cuba Mall.

This year Literacy Aotearoa Wel-lington says it hopes to attract the attention of morning commuters on their way into the city.

Supreme awardWellington group Letting Space

last week won the supreme award at the Wellington Airport Community Awards.

Letting Space gives a hand to start-up organisations throughout the city.

Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown says Letting Space had sup-ported a number of organisations that have become success stories and demonstrated what can be achieved through participation, innovation and enterprise.

One example of working closely with local communities was a large scale public art project titled Pro-jected Fields at Berhampore’s Macal-ister Park.

Cardinal John Dew, Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Wellington, last week led the blessing of the site of a new teaching and administration block for St Catherine’s College in Kilbirnie.

The new 1,160 m2 building is expected to be completed by mid-2016.

Naylor Love, the main contractor, expects that more than 100 builders and sub-contractors will be involved in the project.

St Catherine’s College is one of � ve in-tegrated girls’ colleges run by the Sisters of Mercy’s Tiaki Manatu Ministries Trust.

Site blessed

In a recent survey by food companies, it said that 19 per cent of Wellingtoni-ans have a limited repertoire of fewer than six meals which they repeat each week. 38 per cent of Wellingtonians would like more meal variety but are restricted by tight budgets, while a fur-ther 18 per cent of Wellingtonians said they lack the con� dence to trial new meals. 21 per cent of Wellingtonians said they almost never sit down with their family for dinner. And interest-ingly 31 per cent of Wellingtonians said they check their cell phones at least once during dinner.

Wellington women are be-ing encouraged to consider their health and make cervi-cal screening a priority this September.

This month is Cervical Screening Awareness Month and the focus is on highlight-ing the importance of smear tests and motivating more Kiwi women to book in for screening.

Well Women and Family Trust general manager, Jane Piper, says cervical smear

tests are short and simple procedures with a proven ability to save lives.

“We recommend screen-ing every three years to reduce the risk of bad cells developing into something that could potentially be life-threatening,” she says.

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer and screening every three years can reduce the risk of developing it by up to 90 per cent.

Jane advises that “By hav-ing regular smears, there is a very high chance any abnormal cells will be de-tected and treated before they become cancerous.”

The National Screening Unit is encouraging more women to recognise the im-portance of cervical screen-ing, and effectively reduce the number of New Zealand women who develop cervical cancer.

Jane says New Zealand has

one of the best screening programmes in the world, with the number of women who die from cervical cancer dropping by 60 per cent since 1990.

To find out when your next smear is due, either call your GP or phone 0800 729 729.For more information about the national cervical screen-ing programme go to www.cervicalscreening.govt.nz.

Women urged to get smear tests

By Fiona Donnellan Over 12,800 budding pre-

school gardeners from around the country will be taking part in the 2015 Daltons Sunfl ow-ers in Kindergartens Project which launches this month.

Now in its third year, the gardening initiative gives kindergarten children the op-portunity to develop some basic gardening skills. The scheme also allows kids to begin learning about the life-cycle of plants. They do this by growing their very own sunfl ower.

Last year over 245 kindergar-tens in nine regions including Wellington took part. This year there are 21 kindergartens taking part in the Wellington region and each has been sent their starter pack.

Daltons General Manager, Colin Parker, says, “You are never too young to learn about

gardening. The project has thrived since we launched it three years ago and we are delighted to bring it to even more regions this year. Our main goal is that children have the opportunity to connect with gardening - the competi-tion component is there for a little extra encouragement and fun. These kindy kids will not only develop gardening skills and knowledge, practice basic maths, but also learn about responsibility as they take care of their plants throughout the project.”

Two top tips from organisers are the importance of keeping the temperature constant. So ensure your pots are in a very warm, sunny location. Also, they encourage everyone to create your own mini-green-house by taking a 1.5 litre plastic bottle, cut the bottom out and remove the lid and place it over your pot.

Wellington student Natalie Seagar will tick an item off her bucket list this September when she sees her garment make its way down the runway.

The Massey University visual communication design student is one of the 15 fi nalists from the wider Wellington region to have their garments showcased at World of Wearable arts.

As someone who cannot sew, Natalie relied on different methods and was drawn to using hard materials such as using magnets and plastic.

“I knew I wanted to use laser cutting as my method of mak-ing,” she says.

Natalie has created a look that interacts with the body in a unique way.

“I have used magnets to en-hance its stage performance quality. Also the way the ma-terials and form uses light creates a unique architectural structure.”

As a fi rst time entrant Natalie says while the production of her piece was on her mind for the earlier part of this year, the actual making process was reasonably quick.

“This was always my inten-tion to focus on a streamlined process to create a simple but striking piece of work.”

Natalie’s garment wowed the judges at the preliminary round of judging, which gave her the boost she needed to keep going and fi nish what she had envisioned.

“Handing in the finished product was hugely satisfying, but also a bit nerve-racking,” she says.

With less than a month to go before opening night, Natalie does not have to wait long to see her piece come to life on stage.

“Seeing how they have cho-reographed my garment will be really interesting, I'm so excited,” she says.

Help play your part in keep-ing New Zealand beautiful is the sentiment behind Clean-Up Week this September 14-20. Community groups, businesses, schools, families, friends and individuals are urged to get involved.

General Manager of Keep New Zealand Beautiful Heather Saunderson said, “Last year nearly 40,000 volunteers took part in 562 events nationwide but Keep New Zealand Beautiful Week is not just about the clean-ups. These events build and strengthen community spirit and allow people to demon-strate their pride in where they live.”

The campaign's central aim is to increase community

participation of all kinds, but also addresses issues of sus-tainability, the environment, health, crime and social inclu-sion.

Last year there were 562 Clean-Up events nationwide, 15,312 rubbish bags and 8,850 recycling bags were collected. A total of 228 schools, 246 groups and 88 businesses got involved in the worthwhile initiative.

Keep New Zealand Beauti-ful wants to improve on these facts and fi gures this year and promote “litter abatement, waste minimisation and the beautification of our towns and cities.” For more information on Keep New Zealand Beautiful Clean-Up Week and how to get involved email [email protected].

Wellington Pink Star Walk is back this year and registration is now open

Now in its second year the Estee Lauder Companies Pink Star Walk is happening in October. Like last year thousands of Kiwis are set to walk to support the Breast Cancer Foundation. All the funds raised from the walk from Frank Kitts Park along the waterfront will go towards help-ing support women with breast cancer.

Not only that but the money

raised goes towards education around the importance of mam-mograms for early detection.

“The money raised by our walk-ers helps fund rehabilitation pro-grammes for women undergoing mastectomy, a major surgical procedure,” said Van Henderson, chief executive at the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation. “We’re also putting more funds into educa-tion around the importance of mammograms, with new ten-year survival data showing that women whose cancer is found on a mammogram have much better survival than those who fi nd a

lump. Seventy per cent of eligible women currently attend mam-mogram screening – we want to see that go a lot higher.”

There are options for partici-pants to take part in the 10km or 5km walk. Even those not set to walk are asked to get involved and support and cheer on the walkers. Organisers say the Pink Star Walk is always a sight to behold, with many walkers dressing in pink or going all-out with imaginative team themes.

Everyone can register for the walk at www.pinkstarwalk.co.nz.

Paul Foster-Bell, National Party MP has said Wellington schools are set to receive funding for Asian languages.

Foster-Bell, says it’s important for our next generation to be able to communicate and work in different languages as our international and trading links

grow - particularly within the Asia-Pacifi c region.

This funding will enable more classes in Japanese and Mandarin as part of the Asian Language Learning in Schools fund.

“Our local schools are among 22 groups of 129 schools which have received funding from the

first round of the $10 million contestable fund over three years. The aim of the fund is to increase the provision of Asian languages in our schools. It’s great to see our local schools will be working together to enhance the way their students learn and develop their language skills,” says Foster-Bell.

New Zealand Post has this week launched a new web-based app that lets customers book urgent parcel deliveries from their smartphones.

The app which is called At Pace is targeted at tradespeople who may need supplies delivered at short notice.

New Zealand Post General Manager for At Pace Michael Stewart says the newest addition to Courier Post’s express courier service is about saving small businesses time and money.

“Our At Pace couriers do the legwork so project managers and their teams

don’t have to lay down their tools and head off site every time an urgent supply issue arises. To make an order customers key in a few basic details. This includes pick up and drop off points and their preferred speed of service, which deter-mines the cost,” Michael Stewart says.

PLS Consulting Project Manager Phil Stewart has been using At Pace and commented that

“Rather than sending one of my guys off-site I use At Pace. It means supply is-sues don’t have to disrupt our day, and the team is on the job, in front of the client all day. I’ve added all my regular suppliers to the app and they’re impressed with the

speed and effi ciency of the service. I’ve recommended it to other builders and my architect is on board as well.”

New Zealand Post say they developed the app with small businesses in mind.

“We know that there are around 28,000 trade businesses across the country, more than half of which employ fewer than fi ve staff. These teams don’t always have access to printers and personal assistants so it was about designing a service that delivers supplies urgently, without a ton of administration,” says Mr Stewart.

For more on the app check out www.at-pace.nz.

GirlGuiding New Zealand is determined to shake-up and transform the organisation into one led by its girl members.

National President Sonia Faulkner told the organisation’s annual National Con-ference that the Board would work with members to transform GirlGuiding into a “girl-led” movement relevant in the lives of modern Kiwi girls.

“It’s time we allowed the girls to lead the way. We will move from being a girl-focused organisation to one which is girl-led, where girls confi dently and knowledgeably speak out on issues important and relevant to them.”

As is the case with similar movements worldwide, numbers of girls have been on the decline. GirlGuiding New Zealand currently has a national girl membership of approximately 9,000, down from 12,000 in 2008. The ambition is to push membership back up to 15,000 or more by 2020.

“Volunteers and management will be there to support and facilitate the things the girls want to do, rather than setting out how everything should be done. This will let the girls get on with experiencing all the great things that GirlGuiding of-fers - learning, adventures, camaraderie and community spirit.”

Question: Do you think there are good prospects for students in Wellington once they graduate?

readers have their say... Find out the WORD on the Street.

Rauben Batibuka, Lyall Bay

“It’s hard to get a job as it is really competitive.”

Adrian Rosales, Kilbirnie

“No, the search is diffi cult. But if they can’t fi nd a job they could do a masters to gain more knowledge.”

Daniel Du Plessis, Miramar“Yes, because there is fairly low employment rates compared to other countries.”

Paula Smith, Kilbirnie

“I am thinking that my children will have to be at the top of their class and get top grades to stand a chance. It is diffi cult to get a job, so if they want one they might have to travel outside of Wellington.”

Lesley Johnson, Lyall Bay

“I am hoping so as my children are at school. I say that the more education you can get the more opportunities will be available. But students have to plan ahead on what careers they would like, instead of deciding then, as it is about what careers are available.”

Amina Hassana, Newtown

“They should get a job as soon as possible. Studying is not easy so as a society we should try to make them happy as they have studied for a long time at university.”

LETTERS to the editor

Dear Ed, It really concerns me that those who advocate for the kerbside cycleway option assume that these cycle paths will pro-vide “safe passage” for children and those not so experienced in cycling. This is not so and I worry that parents and children alike will believe that it is their right to use these lanes and that they

will be automatically safe.One has to wonder just how

safe Liz Springford (August 27) will be once she leaves the relative safety of The Parade and ventures into Berhampore and beyond?

The logic just doesn’t stack upGeena RossBrooklyn

Cycleway safety questions raisedDear Ed, the second opinion on St

Gerard’s ‘risk’ makes me wonder it the seismic engineer who was responsible for the higher risk assessment should be honoured for his prudence or castrated for his scaremongery.

Whichever way it brings seismic engineering into disrepute and civil defence preparation farcical.

Paul Franken, Strathmore Park

SECOND OPINION: St Gerard’s Church and Monastery in Mount Victoria had been yellow stick-ered and owners were told it would cost $10 million to quake strengthen, however they are having a second report prepared.

Bringing seismic engineering into disrepute

Dear Ed, You invited feedback on what your readers think about the High Court decision, dismissing an appeal against the decision on the controversial Basin Reserve fl yover.

At one level we are extremely disappointed. However, we haven't heard all the pros and cons concerning this issue and respect the legal opinion of the High Court.

That said, the problem remains, i.e. traffi c congestion from the eastern suburbs is increasing and will do for the foreseeable future. As a matter of urgency, the solution is to build the second Terrace Tunnel (which should have been done decades ago) and complete the motorway to the airport. We need a second Mt Victoria tunnel parallel to the existing one. But if a fl yover cannot be built past the Basin Reserve, what is the alternative? A longer, deeper tunnel? That doesn't make much sense, as the route would surely be more intrusive to pass by the Basin Reserve. In general, tunnelling is certainly to be preferred over fl yovers, wherever possible, but in this instance it appears logisti-cally impossible.

It seems to us that the objectors

to the fl yover should have been compelled to come up with a workable solution, and not to leave us stuck with the status quo. While we can sympathise with those who keep pushing for better public-transport systems, surely it is not as simple as either/or, but both/and. The fact is, population will increase and personal mobility will always be required and desired.

Objectors to the previous plan used emotive language like "ugly fl yover", but that is childish and unhelpful. A fl yover doesn't have to be ugly. I think of those in Singapore, for example, which look elegant and have become "greened over" by tropical veg-etation. It's all in the design. And noise can be controlled as well. So what's going to happen? Why is it that it takes forever to get things done in New Zealand? We take decades to make decisions, and when we fi nally decide what to do we take double or treble the time it would take in the US or Europe to complete the same job - or we do it on the cheap and end up with a half solution (like the existing Terrace Tunnel with traffi c in both directions). Sigh!

Dr and Mrs Dennis P GordonHataitai

Basin Reserve fl yover

Dear Ed, Once again a shortsighted decision by the cities greenies.

When are they going to realise that we need the infrastructure to make our city a more green friendly place to live.

You need good roads for decent public transport and green initiatives.

Mike McFarlane

Basin fl yoverDear Ed, I think its sucks because the traffi c problems

are terrible especially in the weekend. The traffi c is like peak hour traffi c during the week.

From what I saw from the pictures of the plans it didn't look ugly at all I thought the way it was done I thought it look better than what does now. The traffi c in wellington is like a nightmare.

Diane Cameron

Flyover fury

Dear Ed, Liz Springford (Aug.27th) is upset that a car passed her with less than the 1.5m gap. Has she never trav-elled down between 2 lanes of cars whereby her pedals are almost scratching along the cars to get to the front of the queue.

Has she never gone into the incorrect lane marked to go in a different direction than where she wants to go, just to get to the front of the queue.

Today on where I had to slow down for traffi c entering the roundabout and a cyclist passes me on my left hand side. Cars are not allowed to do that within the city limits, and very dangerous as I am concentrat-ing on cars on the roundabout.

Cycl ists t ravel l ing two

abreast around the bay's or on other narrow roads, where the Road code is "Slow traffi c pulls over". Cyclists are traffi c, cyclists should therefore pull over and let the faster travel-ling vehicles pass, instead of staying in the middle of the road. That applies to cyclists, motorcyclists, and those people who drive those putt putt motor mowers, that can barely make it up the Wellington hills.

I am fed up with whinging cyclists who daily break the law, going through red lights, never indicating, travelling in the wrong lane, ie passing cars going down Adelaide Rd towards John Street and they are in the right hand lane. I rang the Police about one cyclist who was going to report

me as he pushed in between myself and the car in front of me, and travelling in that lane which is as an example, is against the law.

I am on the road very early in the mornings and in the eve-nings, and the cyclists which are out at that time frequently are dressed in dark clothing, without any form of refl ector or light on the cycle.

They are of the same mental-ity of those driving cars who turn their lights off as soon as there is a glimmer of light in the sky. Lights are for vehicles to be seen, not the driver to see. All comes down to common sense.

By Rachel Binning Newtown Community Centre

hosted the play ‘We'll Meet Again' on Sunday. Twenty years ago a young Otago University student interviewed rest home veterans and turned their stories into a play to tour the South Island.

Twenty years on, that same student-turned-teacher-turned-Masters-student Tama Smith has, with the rest home’s permission and along with a new set of actors, rekindled the play.

The script of ‘We’ll Meet Again’ is based on stories the Montecillo Veterans Home, Dunedin, veter-ans shared with Tama.

The stories the actors performed are a mix from the veterans Tama

met, but “It is not only one person’s story,” says Tama, who is the director of the play.

The play shares humour, songs, stories and the lives of those vet-erans whose common experience was World War II.

Tama is driven to share stories from the elderly in a theatrical way and he hopes the audience’s own lives will be enriched through hearing those stories.

Sadly none of the veterans Tama interviewed are still alive. How-ever, the veterans’ stories are kept alive in ‘We’ll Meet Again’.

Tama would like to collect more stories from the elderly. He would also like the easily transportable play performed in other centres in the future.

The play is a collaboration be-tween Victoria University and Toi Whakaari New Zealand Drama School. The show, full of humour and song, recounts growing up, schooling, work and war service, friendships, love, grief, and loss, raising families, retirement and being part of an elderly com-munity.

Refreshingly and generously, the play was free of charge. The only catch being the actors and students wanted feedback from the audience at the end of the play.

If anyone is interested in com-munity theatre or advocating for stories from the elderly being theatricalised, contact Tama on tel: 021 711 414.

LETTERS to the editor

Dear Ed, That’s great that Liz Springford’s (27 August) look-ing forward to biking along the proposed kerbside cycleway on The Parade. I’d have to say she’d be one of the vocal few who thinks this is a “good” idea!

She claims that “on just one ride” on the current cycleway “somebody opened their car door in front of her, a bus driver at-tempted to pass her at a pedestrian pinch point, and another car driver passed her with a lot less than the

recommended 1.5 metre gap”. This sounds like it’s too horrifi c to be true and just a tad convenient to promote the need for a new cycleway.

From what Liz describes the journey must have been a “har-

rowing experience” but having cycled around this very area for years I have seriously never expe-rienced or witnessed anything like the behaviour she describes. The Parade is a known cyclist friendly area so maybe Ms Springford

should review her cycling skills perhaps?

I believe this concept to be seri-ously fl awed for safety reasons for all road users including cyclists!

When school fi nishes up, and univer-sity, apprenticeship or work are calling your name sometimes people fi nd them-selves not quite ready to take the leap.

That’s how Shane Parish felt anyway, he wanted to take some time before making any big life decisions so decided to take a year out and travel.

Shane was living in Wellington but is currently using his break wisely by working at a Summer Camp in the USA before he embarks on another OE or gap year adventure in Canada.

Shane works as a Hiking Instructor and Ropes Counsellor at a girls Jewish camp in Sebago Lake, Main in the USA. When he’s not at work Shane says he’s fi ndings adventures at theme parks, doing a ‘Sky Swing’ or road tripping to Montreal for a few days with his work mates. "We went down to Boston to watch a Red Sox game, hired a pontoon boat and went cliff jumping, and went out shopping at a very large outlet shopping centre," says Shane.

But it seems The American Dream wasn’t enough, so Shane has decided that after camp he’ll head for the Canadian slopes to satisfy his wanderlust.

Throughout the process, and for the Canadian leg of his trip, IEP have helped

sort him out with his visas, country support and job placement. IEP New Zealand is part of a worldwide network of companies focused on helping people have amazing overseas work and volun-teer abroad experiences. Shane says he felt really supported by IEP who helped arrange his fl ights, job and visa to both the USA and Canada.

Shane plans to head to Canada and get a job at one of the ski resorts. Perfect timing as their winter kicks in just as camp fi nishes, not a bad series of events.

If there is one piece of advice Shane can give anyone wanting to do camp is just “do it, you won’t regret it for a second. People go travelling all over the US afterwards and you will have contacts from various countries - so plenty of couches to crash on. The friendships you make will last a long time. Travel defi nitely broadens the mind and lets your see the world.”

The Summer Camp Roadshow hits the Abel Tasman Hotel Wellington on Wednesday, September 9 at 6.00 pm if you want to fi nd out further informa-tion about the programme and want to make like Shane and head stateside. For more details visit www.iep.org.nz or email [email protected] or phone 0800 443 769.

A group of local divers has brought back a collec-tion of medals from the Diving New Zealand Na-tional Championships in Auckland.

11 divers from the Wel-lington Diving Club, aged between 11 and 22, brought home a total of 28 medals (12 gold, 10 silver and 6 bronze) from the competi-tion.

The medal total made the Wellington Diving Club the highest achieving club in New Zealand.

To compete in the event, divers had to achieve quali-fying scores in local, re-gional and national events during the competition season leading up to the National Championships.

Wellington Diving Club head coach James Hardaker also won the prestigious

Diving New Zealand Coach of the Year award.

James says that Wellington Diving Club divers put in some great performances at Nationals, winning med-als, titles, breaking records and bringing home many trophies.

“Wellington Diving Club has been the biggest and most successful team for many years,” he says.

“We look forward to our divers continuing to do well in upcoming national and international events.”

Rongotai College student Anton Jenkins broke the New Zealand record for the boys 16 to 18 age group in the three metre springboard and was awarded the Ben-son Cup for Best Male Age Group Diver.

Anton was also awarded the Peter Thompson Trophy

for the highest score for his fi rst fi ve dives in three metre.

Female diver Yu Qian Goh, was awarded the Waikato Cup for the highest scoring Women’s Open Dive.

She also broke two New Zealand records for the Age Group and Women’s Open Synchronised three metre events together with Auck-land based diver, Lizzie Cui.

Anton and Yu Qian also competed in a Mixed Syn-chronised three metre event and won gold.

They both qualified for the Oceania Championships in December to be held in Melbourne.

More than 2000 kids, in 263 teams, from 50 schools, across 10 sports converged on sports venues this week for the Wellington Re-gional SportsFest.

The inaugural event was a part-nership between Wellington City Council, Primary Sport Wellington and the Health Promotion Agency.

The events organisation was driven by the council’s new cus-tomer and community partnership team.

The unit was formed to help build relationships with communities and to help the council’s sports facilities engage with schools and community groups.

Event organiser Elspeth McMil-lan said that a main focus of the event was getting across the health and wellbeing message.

A 2012/13 New Zealand Health Survey found 11% of children were obese and 22% children were

overweight, and there has been a push for councils to do more to fi ght childhood obesity.

ASB Sports Centre in Rongotai hosted most of the sports.

Centre manager Mornay Loubser said there was a focus on getting communities to become more active.

He said that events like Sportsfest can be the “little spark” that gets children moving again.

“It’s about trying to activate our communities to be more active, more often,” Mr Loubser says.

“We want to try and get our com-munities to push play. Certainly we want to get our communities off those couches.”

Ms McMillan says the organising team is hoping to run the event again.

“All the anecdotal feedback we’ve had is that the kids are loving it. We would like to do it again. That’s the plan, that we would make it an annual event.”

SportsFest gets kids moving

By James Baker

There were few rules and loads of fun at the dodgeball in the first Wellington Re-gional Sportsfest last week.

Dodgeball was one of 10 sports at the event staged at venues across the city.

While not as well-known as basketball or rugby, dodgeball provides a great introduc-tion to sport, says Caroline Newman, mum and team organiser for the Seatoun Scally Wags .

“I don’t think there are any special skills required. If you

can throw a ball that’s great.”She says dodgeball allows

kids to play who might not otherwise enjoy sport.

“Even the kids who aren’t very good can play.”

Dodgeball involves two teams who try to eliminate the other players by hitting them with balls and catching the balls thrown at them.

“It’s a sport I really know and like, and the boys can play with the girls,” says Amelia Newman, 9.

And did they enjoy the day? “I really liked playing be-cause we won and last time

we didn’t win, says Emma Groombridge, 9.

Carolyn Newman likes the Sportsfest idea.

“This is their fi rst festival of sports day, and I think it’s fantastic, it’s been a great success”

Wellington Regional Sports-fest 2015 is a two day event organised by Wellington city council in partnership with nine regional sports organi-sations and Primary Sports Wellington.

It involves 50 schools, 260, teams and 2200 children from years 5 to 8.

It’s all about fun on the Dodgeball court

At South Wellington Intermediate we don’t see these two years as solely a time to prepare students for High School, but rather see it as a unique and special time where the journey into adolescence is valued. Students are supported to become independent learners, thinkers and actors, and the apron strings of Primary school are loosened to allow greater autonomy, exploration, inspiration and self management. We can’t wait to share the next two years of your child’s learning journey with you.
