To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.
For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.
This month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (21 - 27 September).
However you choose to take part, make sure to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:

This means that we require more helpers to aid these students to read aloud assessments and/or write dictated answers for them.
This is a voluntary role that would suit people that are possibly retired or who have free time during the week with few commitments. It also requires someone who is a competent reader with legible writing, good spelling and punctuation as well as social skills. Guidance and support will be provided and a police check is compulsory. Remuneration is offered by NZQA for the November exam assistance only.
We value support from our community and your help will be appreciated by both students and staff alike. If you are interested then please contact Susan Yardley, Learning Support Coordinator, via email: s.yardley@ kaiapoi.school.nz or phone: 03 375 5004 ext 903

Do you sometimes drive a few kms over the speed limit? Road police have scrapped their speed buffer on Kiwi roads in favour of a no tolerance approach.
All motorists edging over the limit at any time of the year can now expect to be pulled over and possibly fined, national road policing manager Acting Superintendent Gini Welch confirmed on Friday.
It brings an end to a long-standing convention that law enforcement would let minor speeding breaches slide.
“We don’t have a threshold,” Welch told Stuff, “we don’t have anything other than the speed limit.
Previously, besides zero tolerance long weekends, it was understood police could exercise discretion up to 10kmh over the speed limit.

Top Dog Film Festival returns to Christchurch at The Hollywood Cinema, Sumner, on Saturday, October 31, and you can bring your dog.
You and your four-legged friend can expect to see two hours of entertaining and heart-warming films about the joy of dogs.
If your dog can sit on your lap, they are included in your ticket price, if your dog needs its own seat you'll have to bring a towel to cover the cinema chair (how New Zealand is this?).
New Zealand’s only heli-dive operation is now offering people the chance to freefall over the Pacific Ocean, before landing on Sumner Beach in Christchurch.
Stuff reporter Lee Kenny dropped in for a look, then dropped out.

Temperatures reached record highs in parts of the South Island on Sunday, with Kaikōura the hottest spot in the country at 24.5C.
Riccarton equalled its second-highest winter temperature with 23.6C, Lincoln had its fourth-highest at 22.3C, while Waimate had its hottest winter day since records began in 1908, reaching 23.4C.
But despite the weekend of warm weather across New Zealand, winter isn’t over yet.
Did you make the most of the weather while it lasted?

Initially and mostly in the litter abatement area, but also in general beautification of our physical environment. This can include reporting and removing graffiti; collaborating with schools and groups to paint murals on Chorus street side utility cabinets (to prevent graffiti); running our very successful schools environment programme (in its 27th year in 2020) which reaches around 40 schools a year; working with other environmental groups, individuals and community groups to carry out clean up and other environment enhancement events around the city; supporting and recognising volunteers who work regularly picking up rubbish, planting, caring for local parks, reserves and gardens, develop and maintain new native plantings in reserves; and also recognising those businesses that themselves support volunteers or have business practices that are environmentally sustainable.
KCB promotes and supports projects initiated by Keep New Zealand Beautiful, our parent organisation (while KCB is a branch, it is also independent and a stand-alone charity and incorporated society). KCB is also developing new projects, including scaling the schools programme to suits preschools; maintaining a ‘library’ of gear to lend and sometimes gift, to groups doing clean ups; and providing event coordination and management for business groups wanting to ‘give back’ to their communities with clean up events.
KCB is proud of its connections with other groups around the city; together we are more than the sum of our parts.
