As part of its Re:ACTIVATE programme SCAPE Public Art is on the hunt for young creatives who want to stamp their mark on Christchurch by having an art work they designed super-sized and publicly displayed for a six-week season, beginning in October.
Last year seven-year-old George Lewis’ drawing was turned into a 1.9 metre by 1.45 metre artwork, titled Sunbeam and displayed in the Re:Start Mall.
This year the best two art works will be displayed in Hagley Park.

Carabiner matches young people with “experts” and leaders in the field that they are aspiring towards. Mentors do not need experience with disability, as the most important link between the young person and the mentor is the shared interest and the introduction to a new network that can support the mentee with their goal.
Mentor Vacancies
We are currently on the search for two mentors.
Game Developer Mentor
Mentor wanted for a young male who is passionate and skilled in computer game development. The young male's goal is to create more advanced games
Sound Mentor
Mentor needed for a young male with an interest in sound systems. He would love to be a "sound guy."
Both of these young males would really value the opportunity to talk with someone in their field of interest.
If you would like to find out more about Carabiner Mentoring or are interested in becoming a mentor for one of the young men above, please message us or email kerri@carabiner.org.nz

Inland Revenue is warning of several scams circulating this tax season. Inland Revenue revealed earlier this month that there is about $183 million of tax refunds sitting unclaimed – enough to fly first class from Auckland to London and back more than 11,000 times.

Inland Revenue revealed earlier this month that there is about $183 million of tax refunds sitting unclaimed – enough to fly first class from Auckland to London and back more than 11,000 times.
Since then the IRD has been alerted to a scam email that asks users to enter their personal details to claim their tax refund. The email has the subject line, "IR3 individual income tax return 2016".
It's important to remember the IRD will not:
- Advise you that you are due a tax refund through email
- Send an email with a link to a webpage which asks you submit personal details
- Ask for credit card details or bank account numbers over the phone in order to process a monetary payment
- Ask you to pay a tax debt using gift cards or vouchers
- Sent you an email that does not include or ask for your IRD number
If you receive a suspicious email, SMS scam message or a fraudulent call please email phishing@ird.govt.nz or call them on 0800 227 774 (make sure you have your IRD number).
Log on to the Inland Revenue's website, register for myIR and use its calculator to work out whether you are owed money or have tax to pay.
