BY GRACE CABELL

More than 90 per cent of submis-sions received by the city council are in support of having a sports hub at Nga Puna Wai.

City councillors are considering submissions for the development proposal through a public hearings tomorrow and Wednesday.

And although only 10 per cent oppose it, many of those are

residents living near the proposed development.

They say having the sports hub de-velopment at the southwest site will have a major impact on their lives.

City council recreation and sports unit manager John Filsell said the hearings process will give elected members the chance to “really nail down” the issues by the submitters before a final deci-sion was made.

“This development is about catering to all of Christchurch and beyond, and these deliberations will help everyone reach the best possible outcome,” said Mr Filsell.

“The remaining 10 per cent, 488 submitters, did not support the proposal, with most of their concerns being around the A & P Association,” he said.

But resident John Brundall who lived on McMahon Drive - where

the entrance to the hub would go said residents were concerned with much more.

He said it would have a wider effect on those living in the area for decades.

“It will adversely affect those people for years to come. Someone pointed out to me there is plenty of land available further out near Templeton.

BAD PARKING: A parked car on Aidanfield Drive has annoyed Christchurch residents. The picture was posted on Facebook page “Shocking Christchurch Drivers.” The page has become an online snoop for bad parking around the city. Earlier this month Canterbury Golf general manager Grant Lewis was busted after parking across two disabled parks with his car and boat outside Bunnings Warehouse Shirley.

• From page 1“It may seem some distance

away from the city centre now but in another 10 to 20 years we will have expanded out to there,” he said.

Mr Filsell said a total of 4237 people supported the develop-ment going ahead at Nga Puna Wai.

The public hearings would run from 9am each day, where a panel made up of five councillors will hear from the 26 submitters who requested a chance to speak.

Some of the speakers included Hillmorton residents group member Philip Robinson and Canterbury A & P Association event manager Geoff Bone.

Following this the panel would recommend to the full city coun-cil whether to proceed with the development.

The facility would combine an athletics track, hockey turfs, indoor and outdoor tennis courts and sports fields.

The final decision whether to proceed with the development will be made in March/April 2015.

The city council has committed $6.7 million towards the develop-ment of the athletics track.

Material leakThree fire crews were called out to Matipo St, last Tuesday to assist freight company KiwiRail with a container leaking hazardous material. The Add-ington, Sockburn and Central City fire crews were called out and remained on the scene for two hours and man-aged to contain the spill safely.

New bus stopA new bus stop will be constructed outside Avonhead Shopping Centre following requests from residents. Non-government organisation Bus Go Canterbury has been pushing for changes to the new Metro system, and last week received confirmation from the city council to have the new bus stop put in. The stop will be added on to the 130 Hornby-Avonhead service.

Giraffe auctionThe Christchurch Stands Tall charity auction will be held on February 11 in the Christchurch Casino’s Mashina Lounge. The auction follows a public art exhibition including more than 99 fibreglass giraffes which have been scattered around the city. The giraffes would be auctioned off to raise money for Christchurch charities.

Family fun dayRiccarton Family Fun day will be held on Sunday, February 15. The all ages event will include pancake races, a barbecue, clown and outdoor fam-ily games. The event is part of the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal Trust funded Summer of Fun series which will be happening across the city throughout the summer. The event will run from 1-4 pm at St James Anglican Church, Riccarton Rd.    

BY GRACE CABELL

When 19-year-old William Findlay was called up on stage as part of a buskers act he said he was not embarrassed.

Beckoned as “the boy in the spotted shorts” his tasks included jumping up on the shoulders of a stranger.

The World Buskers Festival has been running in Christchurch from Thurs-day January 15, ending on Sunday 25.

Mr Findlay, of Ilam, said the whole experience of being picked to go up on stage was “pretty fun.”

He said it was not the first time he had been called up by a busker to go on stage.

“I was expecting it this time,” he said.Mr Findlay was called up on stage by

Wellington duo Zane and Degge.The pair performed a routine which

included fire-juggling, unicycles and zebra leggings.

Performer Zane said so far the festi-val had been fabulous and consistently hot.

“We had a hilarious one last night [January 18] when we got the men up - and they all looked exactly the same, with big beards and all. Except one of them was in woman’s pants - we don’t quite know why.”

He said the way to pick people from a crowd was “a bit of an art.”

“We go for smiley people. The way to go is to feel you’re not likely to get picked. We want people who will be comfortable,” he said.

His counterpart and brother, Degge, said it paid to be prepared.

“Trying not to get picked will just get you picked,” he said.

Double, double, toil and trouble

So Derek, tell me a bit about yourself.

I grew up in North London. I travelled to New Zealand in 1988 and stayed in Hawera in Taranaki, for a while and my wife and I knew we wanted to come back. We moved over in 1999 and spent about a month in Auckland, a month in Wellington and then came to Christchurch. We spent about a month in each and Christ-church won. It is very peaceful and a good place for a family. God didn’t tell us about the earthquakes but we’ve survived.

And I understand you live in Mt Pleasant, how long have you lived there?

We rented for a year in Mt Pleasant when we first came to Christchurch. We’re up on the hill. My wife Louise had got work and I’d got work and there was no way she was going to get off the hill, she loves it too much.

Tell me about your family.Louise is a doctor and we have

three kids aged 17, 15 and 13. My two eldest girls were born in England and my youngest son was born here in New Zealand.

So what do you do for work?

I spend three days a week work-ing at Statistics New Zealand. I’m a statistician so that bores people at dinner parties and I am also a property investor so I buy houses and do them up. It keeps me busy a couple of days a week. And then there is the theatre company, we’ve been running Top Dog for about 12 years and this will be our eleventh Summer Shakespeare Festival.

You started Top Dog Theatre, how did it come about?

We did our first play in 2002, it was a Steven Berkoff and it was successful so we thought ‘lets do another one’ and I just formed a company. We just have fun, it’s a non-profit organisation and we put on one or two shows a year. I don’t have a theatre or premises or anything. We just do what we want to do. Some of the stuff I do maybe others don’t want to do it because

it’s too risky because it is open air theatre, where we perform outside.

So what made you want to get into theatre?

I have no idea really, maybe meeting people. I don’t think I was one of those people who say they are born to act. I went and saw plays and gradually started taking it seriously. I thought it just looked like fun and you meet a lot of people. I’ve been directing for about 20 years now. I had my first full-length play that I wrote per-formed in Lyttelton at The Loons theatre when we arrived in New

Zealand. We’ve really suffered for venues after the earthquakes, the things we used to take for granted, but it’s coming back now.

Tell me about the Summer Shakespeare Festival.

We’re doing Macbeth and there is a superstition behind Macbeth, apparently in the theatre you’re not allowed to say the name of the play, you have to call it the Scot-tish play. It’s just one of those old wives’ tales. It’s very hard for me because I’m doing it in the open air so where is my theatre? We don’t want to play with it, you’re just so scared you just go through

touching wood, we’re definitely respectful. We’ve got a great cast of 25. It’s one of Shakespeare’s shortest plays and I’ve cut it by about 20 per cent. We perform outside at Mona Vale and this is our first non-comedy. We’ve done 10 comedies but someone said “how would you do something else?” So we thought sod it we’ll do Macbeth.

And how are rehearsals going?That’s the kiss of death telling

you that! We’re working hard. We have a 10-12 week rehearsal period and it’s always the tricky bit with three or four weeks to go.

The annual Summer Shakespeare Festival will start on February 11 with Top Dog Theatre bringing Macbeth to Mona Vale gardens. Reporter Bridget Rutherford spoke to director Derek Doddington about performing outside, theatre hiccups and the tricks to regaining your voice.

Neg Over $690,000 Neg Over $695,000HAREWOOD HAREWOOD

– Macbeth tests directorWe’re at books down now,

where no one can look at their scripts, and that’s when everything falls apart. But we’re on track. We rehearse on the Mona Vale lawn where we will be performing.

Why did you choose Mona Vale gardens?

I started an open air theatre company back in the UK. That is what I specialise in and that’s what the Summer Shakespeare Festival is. The beauty over there is you have all those castles and buildings and that’s what we used to perform in. We don’t have that here so I picked Mona Vale, it’s al-most like a natural amphitheatre. I found it about 13 years ago and we’ve stuck there ever since, it’s just so perfect. We put up a bit of a set but you’ve just got to go with the audience’s imagination.

So what is it like performing outside compared to inside?

It is very different, all micro-phoned. It’s very large and we might have 400 to 500 people in the audience so sometimes you can’t tell who is speaking because it comes out of the speakers. So it’s much more physical, you’ve got to make sure you immediately catch the audience’s eye so they know who is speaking. The weather is also a factor.

What do you do when it is raining?

I usually make a call at 6pm, if we’ve got 250 people in their rain gear ready to watch the play we will do it, it has to be pretty bad for us not to go ahead. We’ve got no light-

ing so as long as it’s not danger-ous it can rain in the middle of a performance and we can push on through. The worst we’ve had has been three called off, and the best we’ve done is the whole bloody lot.

What has been some of the biggest hiccups you have had while working in theatre?

Years ago when I was playing a role in a production I just walked on and thought ‘I have no idea what I’m meant to say’ so I went onto a speech that I was meant to say later. Then I realised what I was actually meant to be saying and I said “well enough of that, I’ll tell you that later”. You have some tech-nical issues like people forgetting to turn their microphones back on when they go on stage. I once had an actor who went off stage and forgot to turn his microphone off and said “I was f***ing hope-less tonight” and we thought ‘oh my god his microphone is still on!’ That was pretty awful. We’ve had

actors and actresses slip over on the grass at Mona Vale. They end up on their bum but the audience love it. You’ve just got to laugh it off.

Have you had anyone come down with illness before a show?

Oh s*** yeah, that’s just some-thing the public don’t know about. We have tricks to sooth the throat. One is to gargle red tawny port and rest it at the back of your throat and spit it out, but you’re going to perform so you don’t want to drink it. We just have to battle through, adrenaline is a wonderful thing.

What are some of the best ways actors/actresses learn their lines?

People do it different ways, some use iPhones to record the lines and listen to them in the car. I’m a firm believer of writing them down. You cover the lines with a piece of paper and you write down what you think it is, and then check it. It is not until you write down the lines word for word that

you really know them.So what is your favourite

Shakespeare play?One of my favourites would be

Much Ado About Nothing, but The Merchant of Venice is probably my best. I have played Shylock twice, once in the UK and once here. He is fantastic, one of my favourites of all time.

Call-outs increase

BY MARK THOMAS - FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

Not just fires. This week saw nearly 50 per cent more call-outs than average.

The dry weather continues and we saw a rural vegetation fire going from one metre across to 50m in a matter of minutes.

There was also a mix of non-fire incidents attended by our crews. Fourteen ambulance assists, a hand-ful of car crashes and 80-odd false alarms added to the mix.

Last Wednesday, Addington’s crew helped a lady whose house was flooding. Some innovative plumbing adjustment to the cistern’s ballcock worked in this case.

Later the same day a three-year-old became stuck in a cat door and apparently he was very unimpressed about the predicament.

On Sunday, the smell of gas in a Beckenham home was traced to rotting vegetables in the green bin, and later that day Templeton Primary School received good old Fire Service treatment when the hot water cylinder burst and firefighters responded with our special wet vacs from the city station to assist in the clean-up.

That evening a lady in Hoon Hay was concerned that a cord that had wrapped itself in a fan might set the place on fire and Addington again went to the rescue to untangle the appliance.

GRASSROOTS SPORT

BY KYLE KNOWLES

West Christchurch’s young athletes came home from Dunedin last week with a lot more luggage than they went with.

That was because they won 94 medals from the South Island Colgate Games.

Christchurch-Avon, based at Burnside High School, was the biggest winner collecting 38 podium finishes including 11 gold, 13 silver and 14 bronze.

Club captain Marilyn Mor-rison said she was very proud of the way the club performed in hot conditions.

“Many of these children came home with personal best performances and we can’t ask for more than that of our young athletes.”

Papanui Toc-H hauled in 22 medals with seven gold, eight silver and seven bronze.

The club also had another big reason to be happy with Lilly Trotter winning the Nick Willis Scholarship.

The scholarship is awarded to the four most promising athletes at the games and pro-vides financial support for the young athletes as they move up the ranks in athletics.

Canterbury University junior Athletics Club had a

total of 20 medals consisting of eight gold, four silver and eight bronze.

Team manager Lee Downie said they had a relatively small team of 38 competing and was proud of how well they performed.

The Phoenix club also grabbed 14 medals with five gold, five silver and four bronze.

Phoenix vice president Judy MacDonald said they really punched above their weight having only 20 athletes entered into the competitive events.

Gloria Agnew was a stand-out performer for Phoenix claiming four medals in the 13-year group over the week-end.

She finished with a gold in the long jump and a silver in each of the high jump, 100m and 200m.

Another of Phoenix’s athletes, Violette Perry, had a successful meet winning both the 11-year-old shot put and discus.

She also went to the North Island Colgate Games held re-cently and won the discus and bronze in the shot put.

Close to 1000 children aged between 7 and 14 competed at the South Island games from 39 clubs.

Now with a staff of seven, the salon has gone from strength to strength and is fast building a reputation as a one-stop

beauty and hair shop. Already well-known for the full range

of hairdressing services available, the additional beauty therapy options are proving to be just as popular. Their current specials include an eye trio, enabling lucky customers to receive a brow shape, brow tint and lash tint for only $32. You can also choose from a full set of acrylic

nails at $50 or gel nails for $35. And if that wasn’t enough, semi-permanent lash extensions from Lashform are only $80.

This modern, trendy salon specialises in hair extensions, giving a beautiful full head of long hair in hours instead of months. The extensions can be cut, coloured and styled just like your own hair. And if thinning hair is a problem for both women and men, they stock and use Nioxin. The customised range of hair and scalp products is proven to deliver noticeably thicker, denser-looking hair.

Charleen believes in keeping herself and her team as up-to-date as possible with new techniques, trends and fashions to provide the best service to her customers. She is passionate about education in the industry as it is constantly changing, and she makes sure that however experienced the stylist is, they will always have the chance to keep learning their trade. The enthusiasm for keeping current extends to the products they use. A Schwarzkopf

salon, they now use Schwarzkopf Essensity, the first permanent ammonia-free colour with phytolipid technology which delivers real colour results, natural intensity and pure softness while using natural ingredients where possible.

The years of experience combined with the latest products and techniques means that if you are looking for a trim, a complicated hairdo, a new colour or a complete makeover, the staff at Magnifique Hair and Beauty will be able to meet your needs.

When owner Charleen Carstairs opened the doors of Magnifique Hair and Beauty just five years ago, she

thought it would be a one-woman operation.

Does your child suffer from asthma?The new Smartinhaler delivers results

New Zealand has the second highest rates of asthma in the world, and one in four Kiwi children experiences asthma

symptoms. Despite this, regular adherence to asthma medication is poor. However, a new smart asthma inhaler with an audio-visual function has dramatically improved child and adolescent use of preventive asthma medication. The users also experienced significant improvements to their symptoms, wellbeing and quality of life, and needed their reliever medication less frequently.

The University of Auckland study, funded by Cure Kids and the Health Research Council, showed a significant improvement in night time awakening, coughing and wheezing.

Professor Ed Mitchell, Cure Kids Chair of Child Health Research and supervisor of the study’s lead author Amy Chan, says he is “absolutely staggered by the size of the effect. To see the improvement in the lives of these children is astounding”.

The participants also reported taking part in more sports and family activities. Parents reported feeling less frightened by their child’s asthma.

New Zealand digital health company Nexus6 Ltd created a new Smartinhaler device

called the SmartTrack, which was used in the study. The device has 14 different ringtones, which are cycled so users don’t get reminder fatigue. The SmartTrack reminder is only triggered when a dose is missed.

The results were published this month in The Lancet Respiratory Medical Journal.

To the researchers’ knowledge, this is the largest study in the world to investigate the effects of an inhaler device with audio-visual reminder function on asthma adherence and outcomes in children and adolescents.

It is also the first to show significant benefits in asthma outcomes and quality of life. The results are expected to gain international interest.

The randomised controlled trial recruited 220 children between the ages of six and 15 who presented to emergency departments with asthma symptoms.

The study was random, with half of the participants receiving a SmartTrack device for use with their preventive or ‘orange’ inhaler that had the audio-visual elements turned on, and the other half receiving the same device with the audio-visual elements turned off.

Participants were followed up every two months for six months and general asthma control was checked.

Key findings from the study were:• Medication adherence rate for the patient

group given the audio-visual enabled SmartTrack inhaler were 84 per cent compared to 30 per cent for the control group. This equals a 180 per cent increase in medication adherence.

• The use of emergency medication or the ‘blue’ inhaler was significantly reduced. The median percentage days on which a reliever was used in the intervention group was 9.5 per cent compared to 17.4 per cent in the control group. This equals a 45 per cent reduction in rescue medication use.

• Symptoms, wellbeing and quality of life for the children were significantly improved.

Clinical pharmacist Amy Chan, a doctoral student in the University of Auckland, is the lead author on the paper.

“We know one of the key reasons for children not taking their medication is parent and patient forgetfulness. The Smartinhaler reminder system is now clinically proven to be a real solution to the problem,” she says.

“What we’ve been able to establish for the first time with this study is that the ringtone Smartinhaler significantly improves adherence to preventative medication, which results in improved quality of life for children with asthma. It’s hugely exciting,” says Chan.

the users also experienced significant improvements to their symptoms, wellbeing and quality of life and needed their reliever medication less frequently.

Children in the study were also given a Smartinhaler tracker for their rescue or ‘blue’ inhaler to measure the amount of rescue medication they used. The device was able to objectively count date and time of rescue medication use. This provided a good indication of asthma being out of control.

When symptoms worsened, participants used their rescue reliever inhaler (blue inhaler), which is also known as a rescue medication because it provides immediate relief. Recent studies have shown that overuse of the blue inhaler is a predictor of worsening asthma and general morbidity.

The study found that use of the rescue medication was significantly reduced in the group using the Nexus6 Smartinhaler reminder device.

¼ cup Sesame seeds, toasted¼ cup Sweet chilli sauce3 Tbsp Soy sauce

DirectionsHeat the sesame oil in a wok or stir-fry pan and saute the garlic, zucchini, bok choy, snow peas and broccoli for 2-3 minutes until starting to colour. Add ½ cup water or stock and the silver-beet. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender. Add sweet chilli sauce and soy, and toss to coat the vegetables. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a shallow pan. Sprinkle the haloumi with sesame seeds, then fry for about 1-2 minutes each side until golden. Serve the greens, topped with a few slices of sesame haloumi.

The fees-free training programmes are part of a nation-wide initiative by the Government to get more Pasifika into trades training as well as assisting with the recovery of Christchurch.

This year, students have been involved in using their skills on a number of community projects. Among the projects was the plastering and painting of the damaged Samoan Efks Church Hall and fixing holes in the wall at the Shirley Assembly of God Church Kitchen. Further works are planned for 2015.

Centre for Maori and Pasifika Achievement manager, Harry Westrupp, says it is great to see students putting the skills they learnt in their course to make “a real difference to community projects”. “The community groups were very grateful. Many of these organisations didn’t have insurance and couldn’t afford to fix the damage.” he says.

At CPIT, the Pasifika Trades Training scheme is run in collaboration with leaders from the Pasifika community, government agencies with Pasifika church ministers playing a key role in nominating students for training and offering pastoral support. As well as learning industry relevant skills, Westrupp says the courses help students become the next generation of Pasifika leaders.

“We encourage all our students to step up and become active members of their communities,” he says. “This is just one of the ways we can show them how to do that.”

Pasifika trades training programmes are open entry and available for anyone of Pasifika descent. To learn more visit www.cpit.ac.nz , email [email protected] or phone (03) 940 8359.

[Edition datE]2

A post-earthquake trades training programme for Maori has been hailed as a success by the programme’s founders.

He Toki ki te Rika (Maori trades training) was launched by Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu in partnership with CPIT and Hawkins in 2011 to train Maori, to help meet the skills shortage for the rebuild of Christchurch and to empower individuals and their families.

The initiative, which was launched in 2011, aims to train Maori for leadership positions in construction and offers apprenticeship support and further training through leadership programmes.

Another 213 learners completed the fee-free programme in 2014. At a recent celebration ceremony Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu Kaiwhakahaere Tuarua, Lisa Tumahai acknowledged that their new qualifications were a first step in empowering them to make bold, confident choices for their future.

“Developing skills and leadership sits at the heart of all our He Toki programmes and although you may leave here today and start out on the end of a drill or a hammer, we want you to take up the challenge of working your way to the top – to becoming the foreman, the supervisor, the project manager or the company owner. The possibilities are endless.

Maori trades training at CPIT is delivering results

“All three partners have invested a lot of time and resource to ensure students achieve their aspirations. They have encouraged students to embrace their cultural identity and the values that come with that, and to carry those into the workplace to build relationships and a new future.”

Enrolments are open for 2015 for He Toki ki te Rika and He Toki ki te Mahi, a new leadership programme to support Maori leaders in Level 6 programmes in quantity surveying, construction management, site supervisors and architectural technology.

It can be a little challenging keeping up with Mat Goodman’s projects. A graduate of CPIT’s Sustainability and Outdoor Education programme

and a talented � lmmaker, he certainly has a few employment options to explore. If he’s not looking for keas in the Southern Alps or crows in New Caledonian ‘cloud forests’, then he’s � lming relocated kiwis or more lately Hector’s dolphins in the Marlborough Sounds.

Actually, keas are not hard to � nd. � ey are highly inquisitive and love to play as Mat found out while � lming a documentary produced by a German team that compared the intelligence of New Zealand’s kea and New Caledonia’s native crows (both species can problem solve and use tools to get to a reward – in this case, food).

� e visuals of the birds and the landscapes are stunning, and the � lm is both entertaining and informative. But behind the scenes, there is obviously a lot of work involved in reaching remote places and getting the right shot.

For Mat, an underlying motivation in helping to make these documentaries is to educate people about nature and sustainability. � is motivation developed while he was studying at CPIT.

“� e programme certainly changes your lifestyle and allows you to be content with the way you are living,” he says.

Chasing kea and kiwi is a dream for CPIT

sustainability graduate

� e Bachelor of Sustainability and Outdoor Education is unique in Australasia as the only outdoor education degree that includes sustainability as a major component. Students develop outdoor pursuits and education skills alongside environmental and sustainability leadership. � ey graduate with an understanding of natural environments and how to help people appreciate these environments.

It is certainly a programme for our times with an emphasis on the sustainability of our planet. Graduates of the programme can be found leading outdoor adventures, teaching others and helping to implement sustainability projects as well developing their own projects.

CPIT graduate Mat Goodman’s work in sustainability and documentary making takes him around the world.

Head of nursing Dr Cathy Andrew says CPIT is one of the largest nursing schools in New Zealand and consistently has the highest

employment rates nationally. “With a CPIT Bachelor of Nursing degree,

you can go anywhere in the world and work as it is recognised internationally,” Andrew says. “You can work in a wide range of specialties, from mental health, to emergency, to geriatric, to community work.”

Closer to home, graduate Rekha Devi is a facilities manager at Cornwall Park Hospital in Auckland, while William Jones is a post anaesthetic care nurse for CDHB, and Olivia Sanders is a paediatric nurse at Christchurch Hospital and Rochelle Pereiro is a registered nurse at Pegasus Health in Christchurch.

Pererio says she learns something new everyday. “� ere are so many di� erent jobs you can get with nursing,” she says. “If you like working with children, you can specialise in paediatrics or if you like research you can go into that area. I like that you’re not stuck in one thing.”

Choosing the right instrument can be daunting but the Christchurch School of Music (CSM) is once again holding its famous ‘Try an Instrument Day’ to help you decide.

Come along this Saturday to Catholic Cathedral College between 10am and 12pm where, no matter what your age, you can hear the instruments being played and have a go yourself with the help of our instrument specialists.

It’s important that you love the sound of the instrument you choose and that it is the right size and weight for you.

As well as providing tuition in most instruments, CSM o� ers students the chance

School of Music

to play in a wide range of ensembles, so come along to � nd out more.

We also o� er low-cost instrument hire (subject to availability) for string, woodwind and brass instruments. If a� ordability is an issue, CSM can provide � nancial support of up to 50 per cent through funding provided by the Canterbury Community Trust.

Aoraki Polytechnic’s hairdressing programme is a cut above the rest and gives its students the con� dence and practical skills

they need to give themselves a foothold within the industry.

Second year student Jade Mason (28) heard about the polytechnic’s hairdressing course through a friend and decided to apply as it would give her the skills she needed to move into an industry which had always interested her.

Jade completed the polytechnic’s Certi� cate in Hairdressing (Level 3) in 2013 and began her second year of training in 2014 through the polytechnic’s Certi� cate in Professional Hairdressing (Level 3).

During her second year of study, she began working at Tangles Hair Design on Saturdays and has earned herself a full-time job at the salon in 2015.

Jade said when she was not cutting, colouring or styling in the studio, she was kept busy as a mother to her three-year-old son.

With a little one to look a� er at home, she believed a course suited her schedule better than an apprenticeship, which became part of her reason to enrol at Aoraki.

Jade said she loved the atmosphere of the course as it had “built up (her) con� dence” to work on the necessary skills needed to ply her trade as a hairdresser.

“I’m very self-motivated to be here,” she said.

From the newly clad exterior to the fresh welcoming décor, the home has been revitalised throughout o� ering buyers the opportunity to purchase stress-free this tasteful, low-maintenance home.

With generous living/dining that opens and extends to a covered north/west outdoor entertaining area and with an overall � oor plan designed for functional easy-care living, the home is ideal for empty-nesters, busy professionals or couples. All three bedrooms are very large doubles, with the master o� ering a walk-in robe and en suite. � e large storage shed means there is room to house all the toys also. � is superb spot on the hill soaks in expansive day and night views from across the city through to the majestic Southern Alps.

New owners will enjoy the bene� ts of under -tile heating, three heat pumps for year-round

comfort and internal garaging to name a few. � e home is ready and waiting for the new owners to just move in, relax and enjoy.
