Free seminar for parents of teens

Grant from Halswell

Guiding teenagers through the various career and study options available to them in the modern world can be a challenge. At this seminar, UC Career Consultant Dave Petrie will talk with parents about how to support their children in making informed decisions about their futures.

Parents and caregivers of secondary school aged children (Years 9-13) are invited to attend one of three free seminars which will cover:

- The world of work: looking forward

- How to make informed career decisions now and in the future

- How parents can assist

- Career development resources

This seminar is being held on 9 August and repeated on 16 and 23 August – so choose the one date that suits you best.

NOTE: This seminar is NOT about study options at the University of Canterbury | Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha (UC) – it is designed to help parents to help their teens consider ALL their options, whether this is work, university, polytechnic, an apprenticeship, private providers or other possibilities.

Location: Engineering Core, E6 Lecture Theatre, University of Canterbury, University of Canterbury, Ilam.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
