Hello, at some point between 10 am Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th 10:30am, I have lost my wedding ring. Gold with a unique pattern.
My Wife's ring is identical, and I'm quite sure these are the only two in New Zealand. There are no markings inside the ring.
possible place to have been found is Northlands Mall.
Between BNZ, and the car parks along the left hand side of the pedestrian crossing in the undercover carpark. not a valuable ring monetarily but personal and sentimental value.

The Waitākiri School Board, staff and many of our parents are really concerned about the safety of our tamariki on the roads around school.
We’ve been working with NZTA and Christchurch City Council to push for safety improvements — especially at the Burwood Rd/QEII Drive/Travis Road and Burwood/Mairehau Roads intersections, as well as directly outside of school.

One of the biggest roadblocks is that both NZTA and CCC need more data to back up making changes.

This is where you can help!

If you’ve witnessed or been involved in any accidents or near misses in these areas, please email us at:
office@waitakiri.school.nz

Or please phone our school office 03 383 2736 anytime (you can leave a message).

Your experiences can help us make a strong case for change.

Thanks so much for your support — every bit of info helps make our roads safer for our kids.

For the 11th time, you’ve voted us your Most Trusted Brand and that means the world to us.

Because trust this strong doesn’t happen by chance. One year? That’s nice. Ten years? That’s a perfect score. But eleven? That’s off the charts.

You feel it in the little things, like the barista who knows your coffee order, the gardener who prunes your roses just right, and friends who feel like family.

That’s trust built over time, through shared experiences, thoughtful gestures and communities who care. It’s that feeling of trust that sets us apart.

Whether it’s your first visit or you call a village home, that feeling of trust is what sets us apart.
