Hi.
Two months ago Wesley College introduced a one on one literacy programme for some of its Yr 9 & Yr 10 pupils.
It is a fun and enjoyable way for people who have a one or two spare hours a week to engage with young folk, make a difference and meet other interesting locals.
You don't have to be worried about being trapped by this commitment. A tutor coordinator (me) will make sure that when you are unable to make it, or away on holiday, another tutor will take your spot so that the pupil doesn't miss out.
You don't need any particular skills or qualifications other than being able to read and a teacher remains in the class at all times while 10 tutors and 10 pupils work through a book and related tasks.
It is incredibly rewarding and makes a real difference.
Please give me a call if you think this might interest you.
Kind regards. Deb Cane 021745493

Sadly, in the majority of cases, there were things the rider could have done to prevent the crash, “and that breaks my heart”, says Graeme. His solution? “Do some training”. It just might save your life.

How many of us have one or two green kina shells hanging around at home with their pretty spots and segmented surface they make great decoration pieces, but did you know
Sea Urchins, Kina or Sea Eggs are common in the waters around New Zealand. About 70 different species can be found with most living in the deep water while around 11 species can be found at depths of 12-14 meters.

These spherical shaped creatures covered in long and short movable spines resembling an underwater hedgehog have a mouth on the underside with a 5-sided limy structure called Aristotle’s Lantern which acts like a set of jaws grinding up food into digestible pellets.

Kina are omnivorous but prefer to feed on large brown seaweeds and kelp, large groups can eat out whole seaweed sites leaving the area barren. They are male and female, but it is difficult to tell them apart until they are cracked open. Undisturbed a kina can live for as long as 20 years.

Kina have been a traditional part of the Maori diet since before pre-European settlement.
The roe of the kina is considered a delicacy to many people and can be eaten raw straight from the shell or served as sushi or “uni” and depending on how it is prepared are low in calories, fat and quite high in protein. The flavour has been described as combination of creamy, sweet, sour salty and bitter.

When harvesting kina take care they are spiky!! Gloves are recommended.
