Mathew Jack experienced this first hand when he took a course in heavy automotive engineering at our Timaru campus. After Mathew completed his eight-month course, he found employment with Smallbone in Ashburton, where he lives.
He says the “excellent training” he received prepared him well for the job. “It set me up to excel in an exciting and demanding career.” In Timaru, we’ve got programmes in engineering trades, electrical, automotive and painting and decorating starting in February. You can learn all about them here.

"Other schools in Christchurch have been doing it so I thought it would be a good opportunity for Kaiapoi High School to do something similar," year 12 student Artemis Hingston says.
The student army will spend time with the elderly people to help combat loneliness, help at primary school events, volunteer at community events, and help with clean-ups, including washing ambulances.
Artemis says although the Waimakariri group will start at Kaipaoi High School, it is intended to become a district-wide service.

Hi neighbours,
Is it time to ban the private sale of fireworks in favour of public displays only? Or is Guy Fawkes just a bit of flammable fun?
Would you like to see tighter restrictions on fireworks or are you a sparkler fiend who sees no problem with celebrating safely at home?
