HECK YES IT’S SUMMER TIME

Hey all! yes it’s that time of year again. The time when students are forcefully dragged out of hiding, as they head into exams. While this time of the year may seem like a drag, rest assured there will be plenty of sun, sand, surf, and good times during the Summer break (not so many wolverines to hunt). So study hard and have a stella’ break over the summer months. Peace!

PRESIDENT’S PIECE

EXEC’S SUMMER PLANSWHAT HAVE YOU ENJOYED MOST ABOUT THE YEAR TO DATE? Lisa Hatton: What I’ve enjoyed the most this year so far has been the 4 weeks in between semesters to relax, catch up with friends and spend more time with my kids, Thomas 13 and Alice 11. Gab Cote: The best thing about this year is the people I have met in and around NMIT. Josh Reti: My most enjoyable experiences this year have been at NMIT, meeting interesting and awesome people. The highlights for me have been working with Saniti, taking international students on trips over to Farewell Spit and Kaikoura. Abbey Paterson: Meeting the awesome people I’m studying with!FAVOURITE SUMMER QUOTE OR PEARLS OF WIS-DOM FOR THE POPULOUS? Lisa Hatton: “Rules are made for the blind obedience of fools and the guidance of the wise” Douglas Bader, British Air Force WW2. Gab Cote: “Summertime and the living is easy”, DuBose Heyward & Ira Gershwin. Josh Reti: “Don’t be afraid to fail. Strength does not come from winning, when you go through hardship and decide not to surrender that is strength.” A. Schwarzeneg-ger. Abbey Paterson: Did it smell that bad when you ate it?

BEST THING ABOUT BEING A STUDENT IN SUMMER?Lisa Hatton: This will be my third summer attending summer school, but I still manage to go camping with the kids at Quinneys bush for a couple of weeks and drive in for classes. There’s about 6 families who all go at the same time and the kids hardly notice I’m not there lol. Gab Cote: Having a life outside the school :) Josh Reti: I can take my books to the beach and catch some rays at the same time :) Abbey Paterson: Sleeping in and deciding what to do with your free time instead of studying. Procrastination at its finest!WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE SUMMER BREAK? Lisa Hatton: Summer school, Quinney’s and hopefully some time for kayak fishing with my partner, Glenn. Gab Cote: I’m gradu-ating in December and I’m upgrading my life to ‘daddy’ so taking care of my family, finding a job, and having a good time :) Josh Reti: Stubbies, sunnies and singlet need I say more. I’ll be floating around Nelson doing some study there will definitely be some serious beach action happening!! Abbey Pa-terson: A friend and I have started 100 days of hikes which has been super awesome. Oh and I might think about smashing out the assignments due first week back.

Ahoy hoy!

Welcome back to the final term of the school year, hope you all had an ace term break and have had a chance to rest and do some-thing with your time other than study.

This issue of VOS is about summer! What’s going on and what people are up to and what not. Me personally I’ll be floating around the Nelson region and getting into a summer school paper here… Fun times ahead for this guy!

We are fast approaching the end of another year and coming into the last term and final assignments and exams. This can be a stressful time, try to make sure all the planning is done and get a lot out the way as soon as possible to try and make it easier on you as it gets to the pointy end of the term. I’m sure you will all smash out the assignments and exams!

After exams and stuff comes graduation for some of you lucky ones out there. I would like to congratulate you on work well done! For some of you this will signal the end of a few years of hard slog, well done! Next step is to take the hard earned piece of paper and find a job hopefully within your chosen area and good luck for your future endeavours!

For everyone else coming back next year keep on at it, enjoy the time off over the summer and make the most of the fantastic sun-shine! If you’re doing a summer school paper like I am then good luck with that!

FINAL NOTEThis is my last chat as I finish my term as Student President at the end of this year. I have really enjoyed my time at SANITI. I haven’t finished with the study yet, I have another year to go so if you see me round still feel free to stop me for a natter as I’m all about the chat! Job done…Cheers,Scott

Thank you for the great three years as your representative!“

{SANITI News}

SANITI summer IN BRIEFs

GET A JOB!

Hopefully you have had part-time work during the year that will become full-time over the summer, if not, here are a few ideas for ya:Current CV – yeah I know you have one buried on your desk that you think should do the job. It won’t. CV’s need to be up-to-date; relevant for the job you are apply-ing for; not have any spelling mistakes and check your formatting! It looks great on screen but when printed out it turns into an illegible mess. Another tip is to have the names of your referees and their contact details – refer-ees provided on request is a real turn off!Door knocking – yeah I know everything is online now. But if you take a look around Nelson and Blenheim you will still see jobs advertised in the shop windows. Even when businesses have application forms it is still a good idea to front up (dressed appropriately).Online – a lot of bigger businesses only have online ap-plications. As with CV’s make your application relevant to the job and check your spelling!International Students – International students need to have a Work Visa. You may be able to apply for a vari-ation of conditions on your Visa to work full-time over the summer. Ask the International Enrolments team at NMIT.

Websites to check out – www.trademe.co.nz, www.seek.co.nz, www.jobs.govt.nz, www.seasonalwork.co.nz, www.seasonaljobs.co.nz; www.workandincome.govt.nz, www.nz.indeed.com, www.mahi.co.nz, www.myjobspace.co.nzwww.sjs.co.nz – Student Job Search – it is free for NMIT students to register and it is a MUST if you are looking at applying for the Jobseeker Support Student Hardship.

StudyLink Domestic Students onlyIf option 1 hasn’t worked and you are on an allowance during term time you may be eligible for Jobseeker Sup-port Student Hardship. The criteria are tight and you still have to be actively looking for full-time work but with a bit of luck it will cover the rent and buy food.www.studylink.govt.nz/jobseeker-support-stu-dent-hardship.html The Jobseeker Support Student Hardship has a stand-in period so even if you are eligible but really struggling with the stand down period you can apply for a Student Allowance Transfer Grant. www.studylink.govt.nz/other-help/student-allow-ance-transfer-grant.html

Study Yeeeeeah riiight YOU SAYYeah I know you are probably over it at this stage but depending on your area of study, studying through summer school may be an option. Domestic students depending on your EFTS (Equivalent Full-time Student) or value of the papers you have studied over a 12 month period you may be eligible to apply for a StudyLink al-lowance or living component of the loan for the summer period. Yes it is less time at the beach but you may be able to graduate early! Ask the NMIT Enrolment team for more information. All else fails, just bludge off ya parents...

ADVENTURE TOURISM COUSRE

one Family AffairWhile some schools (and workplaces) boast strong alumni networks and friends that become ‘Facebook’ friends and work buddies, these friends slowly fade off into the distance, the AVT students are different. From my experiences with the AVT group I noticed that they work, study, party, and play together – “They pride themselves on becoming part of the AVT for life whanau”. Their network is vast, with students both close to home and situated around the globe. The resounding message I found is that once you are part of this group – you are part for life.

two Growing PainsIn 2015 the AVT course will turn 20, and while many of its students will be; graduating, moving on to work, travel, families, and further study – the course remains. Being the age of a spritely teen in their last year of their teenage years hasn’t been an easy feat for the tutors of the course (as the students can be a handful at times).

In saying that, I have personally witnessed the second year students mature and grow into focused individ-uals who are passionate about showcasing the great outdoors and all it has to offer. These second year graduate students also have a very high chance of joining the industry, a fact that Todd (one of the AVT tutors) is especially proud of, and for good reason as not many courses can boast a near perfect graduate employment rate these days.

three Course SuccessTodd believes that it is the strong teaching staff, NMITs industry reputation, and the willingness of their students to learn makes this course and its graduates so desirable in the industry – in fact, many of the industry leaders are coming to the AVT tutors looking for graduates (with some stu-dents being offered more than one job).

My first experience with this motley crew of barefoot, stubbie wearing, smack talking individuals was late last year. On first expressions I wondered who the heck these students were, their course of study, and most importantly what they were on!! These kids were continually buzzing, full of positivity and really keen to engage with students across the campus.

5 Reasons to love this course

four Heres to Another 20With 2015 and their 20 year anniversary just around the bend, Todd reckons they have it pretty nailed. Being up to the play in this industry is essential, now more than ever, with the new adventure activities regulations. Producing graduates that are well trained and qualified is something that the school prides themselves on and will continue to do so for another 20 years or more.

Dan in the duckie, Dan successfully completed the two year course this year and is now a grade 3 guide working for ultimate descents. This is a great effort and we wish him all the best :)

five Getting involvedAs part of their course requirements, the students need to guide in a real-world setting. For this to happen they need participants. I would urge anybody interested in experiencing the outdoors (at a ‘student’ price) to get in touch with the AVT tutors Todd and Toby to book a spot on a trip or two!

When you join AVT, you make friends for life.

happy birthday avt heres to another twenty years

THE STUDENTEXPERIENCE

!

with Pete’, a second year AVT student

Hey Pete, tell us about the Adventure Tourism course. Just summing it up - it was the greatest two years of my life. The course itself is about 80% outdoor practi-cal work so the classroom is the outdoors and national parks in and around the Nelson/Tasman area. It was a life-changing experience for me and an amazing pathway into the industry :)Walk me through a typical day as an AVT’r.. Surfing kayaks through to paddling rapids, hiking up mountains and being epic. Across the class, what would you say are the top 3 characteristics that are needed to be successful? 1. Positivity2. On-to-it kinda person3. A strong liver Tell us about a time that you took a risk and failed..Swimming across Grade 2 rapids and completely gass’n myself and I got throw-bagged. Tell us about a time you took a risk and suc-ceeded.. First ran the Granity rapid. I was crapping myself but said f**k it, and just did it. I had the perfect line. SANITI was out with a group of international students and the AVT students were throw-ing round the term ‘moisty’. What does that mean? Ha Ha a moisty is someone who is super keen to get into the action. It is a reference to the front of the raft being the spot for super keen beans as they get super wet. In such a tight-nit group of students, is there anything you do to ‘initiate’ the first year new-bie students? Nah, that is generally left up to Todd and Toby (tu-tors) who put the students through their paces to test their metal. What is the craziest day/night/weekend/week you’ve had while on the course? To be honest the week we had has been pretty crazy. It was so full on man; heli-rafting on the West Coast in complete isolation then unpacking/repacking and heading down to Hokitika to guide rafts on the largest female adventure race in the world. Capped off the week with celebrations on the Saturday night. Summer plans? Living the dream in the Abel Tasman #chur2thebush

Rafting TripsAs part of the 2nd year AVT students course assessment they are required to guide customers through a real-world environment. All the students were ex-tremely professional and made sure the participants had a rocking good time on the boats. If you are interested in finding out when their next trip is then come on by the SANITI office and we will find out for you. For all those students who saw the post on the SANITI FB page about rafting (facebook.com/SANITINZ) and didn’t do anything about joining, this is what you missed out on.

BragatoFrom 27-29 August 2014, the 20th annual New Zealand Winegrowers Romeo Bragato Conference was held at the Mar- lborough Convention Centre. Not only is this one of the largest conferences held in New Zealand, it is also one of most importance to grape growers and wine makers of New Zealand. Article by Shixiang Wu. Photos by Daniel Deleon

As with last years’ event, the NMIT viticulture and winemaking tutors and students were heavily involved again this year. For David Hayward (Winemaking tutor) this is the first time he has been involved in taking students to help out with the confer-ence.

David also used this chance to teach students valuable lessons on wine-making. “Try these two wines and tell me the differences, as you can tell from the bottles, they are the same wine but one opened this morning and have decanted thus a bit of the rotten eggs on the nose has gone and

is tasting nicer now.”

Apart from that, the rewards for stu-dents’ help is to taste all kinds of wine from all over New Zealand and have a chance to communicate with grape growers and winemakers. In addition, to attend some lectures to learn.

For the first year students this was a new and fun experience and although this was the second time around for the year two students, they appreci-ated the chance to taste a variety of wines from around New Zealand and see what goes into organising such a large scale event. Many of the stu-dents have come away from the event so enthused by the occasion that they

are looking forward to submitting their own wines made last year in the NMIT campus winery.

For Daniel, the experience was “full on and gave us a chance to see different aspects of the convention, from helping with the behind the scenes action all the way through to being a participant in wine brackets.”

While he enjoys his studies, he be-lieves it was great to have some indus-try involvement and observe “where the rubber meets the road”. The hands on experience at the Romeo Bragato 2014 convention will prove invaluable for these talented, and eager young wine professionals.

DRINKS DRESS &

DRINKS TO MAKE YOU LOOK BOSS

There’s always been something stylish and classy about cock-tails. Not only the purview of lushes (me) and raucous hen parties, cocktails provide an illusion of sophistication to even the most trashy of us. So you’ve got what to drink sorted but what to wear? What to wear? Lucky for you I work with a man who knows style, is on trend and has his own label, so if the answer to this question eludes you, take a breath, then a sip of your cocktail and enjoy our dudes guide dressing to drink.

WHAT TO DRINK: MARTINISurely one of the most recognised cocktails in the world, the martini is both simple and sophis-ticated. With multiple variations it’s all about per-sonal preference. Traditionally it’s made with equal parts gin and dry vermouth stirred in a shaker with 3rds Ice and strained into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnished with 1 or 3 olives on a stick or a twist of lemon. Manly! WHAT TO WEAR: The quintessential bond drink is shaken, not stired. Your outfit should be the same, grab a singlet and some stubbies to insert a good shake up to any formal gath-ering.

WHAT TO DRINK: LONG ISLAND ICE TEAA well known summer drink made with vodka, gin, tequila, light rum, dark rum, triple sec, lem-on and a splash of cola (giving the distinctive tea colour). Long island ice tea is built over ice in a tall glass. Too many of these and Elvis will well and truly leave the building. With significant-ly more alcohol than other high ball drinks, this cocktail is a booze hags dream cunningly disguised as tea. WHAT TO WEAR: This drink is pure gasoline. For that reason, pair this drink with your Sunday best - enjoy the hang-over :)

WHAT TO DRINK: MARGARITAPossibly the most consumed cocktail in the USA, the margarita comes in a myriad of ways. Its base is tequila with triple sec (Cointreau) and lime juice. It’s shaken then served into a cocktail glass with a salted rim. Substituting a lemon instead of lime gives a softer taste as lime gives a sharp bite. Enough of

these and classy will be taking the off ramp to drunksville. WHAT TO WEAR: Throw on some board shorts, dress your feet in some jandels and lather yourself in sunscreen because this drink is best served under the blistering sun.

WHAT TO DRINK: COSMOPOLITANChill cocktail glass by putting ice into it. In a shaker add 3 parts citrus or unflavored vodka, 2 parts cranberry juice, 1 part Cointreau, 1 part lime juice. Add ice last so you get as little dilution as possible. Shake. Tip out the ice in your now chilled cocktail glass and pour the strained drink in. Garnish with a thin twist of orange peel. This cocktail enjoyed a resurgence thanks to Sex in the City and Carrie Bradshaw. Now it enjoys a reputa-tion as notorious lady petrol. WHAT TO WEAR: You dont drink Carrie’s drink, so no attire chat required. If, for any reason, you do decide to drink a Cosmo make sure you pair it with a very sharply tailored suit.

Nothing says summer like the day time drinking of cocktails. As someone who’s consumed cocktails at all hours of the day and night and who is currently not an alcoholic (fingers crossed). I feel like I know my way around a drink or two. For those men concerned that a fruity rainbow coloured beverage might in some way cast doubts on your manhood. Think martinis and James Bond, the manliest of men. Article: Jaycob Brown & Agent X
