Hi neighbours, bring along your picnic to the Second Meeting of the Southern Classic Racing Experience.

This year, we are fortunate to present a round of the fantastic South Island Porsche Racing Series and the return of those exciting and beautifully prepared Formula Juniors from the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

The Historic and Vintage Car Club Class portray the birth of car racing here in New Zealand and while they might be our older racecars, they are not slow out on the track.

Another large class of racing are the Classic Saloons who always present some spirited and close competition on the track, and then of course there are the Classic Muscle who give us the noise and thrills from the big boys. The Rennsport class means German Racing which combines Porsche, BMW and any other German marque and provide a variety in spectacle and speed. The Single Seaters or Formula Libre and Sports and GT’s complete the lineup for the meeting.

From the Phillipstown Community trust.
Back to school costs

The wonderful Deborah Lemon from Rehua Marae has compiled this comprehensive list of where families can access a bit of help with getting the kids back to school. Thanks, Deborah, for this great work. You can also check out Deborah's website, Navigate Your Way, for a great resource that helps navigate through government and social services.

The Salvation Army can support families with uniform grants, vouchers for stationery and assistance with devices. Contact your local centre to discuss your needs.

The City Mission's back to school programme can help with purchasing uniforms, shoes, stationery and other costs.

The JR McKenzie Youth Fund can provide help where death, sickness, family break up or economic hardship make it difficult for families to meet educational costs. The fund is administered by local Rotary Clubs.

Make It Happen helps Christchurch families with school-related costs including uniform, clothing, fees, school trips, sport, music and cultural activities.

Variety can organise a sponsor for children between 5 and 15. The charity connects donors with individual children. If you'd like to sponsor a child, you can follow the link to learn more. Kidscan also assist children during the year and always need sponsors.

Work and Income New Zealand can offer loans to qualifying applications to cover school costs. You don't have to be on a benefit, but income thresholds apply. If you are on a benefit, you can apply for an advance to help with school costs.

If you're caring for someone else's child and receiving unsupported child benefit or orphan's benefit, you can apply for the school start up payment.

If you live in Papanui, Papanui Rotary's Children In Need Trust can help with small grants, but remember it's only for Papanui residents.

Remember to talk to your school. They should be flexible about families taking a bit longer to purchase some uniform items. Some may offer hardship grants and donations from parents are voluntary by law. If you do pay the donation, you can claim a tax rebate for up to one third of the cost.

Different iwi have funding available for schooling - talk to the individual tribe for details including how to apply.

Contact my staff if you would like to discuss school costs. I am also happy to hear from parents if schools are penalising families for non payment - this should not happen.
