Shared site is 'the best of both worlds' for Christchurch boys' and girls' schools

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

The head teachers of Avonside Girls' and Shirley Boys' high schools say their new joint Christchurch campus will offer students "the best of both worlds".

The head teachers of Avonside Girls' and Shirley Boys' high schools say their new joint Christchurch campus will offer students "the best of both worlds".

In a New Zealand first, the two single-sex schools will share their state-of-the-art site in Travis Rd but remain separate institutions.

There was an air of anticipation as students arrived on Wednesday to explore the purpose-built facilities for the first time.

New Zealanders need to almost halve their number of car trips to satisfactorily improve our health and wellbeing, a new report claims.

The University of Otago report, Turning the Tide - from Cars to Active Transport, has recommended the Government put targets and legislation in place to reduce car use in urban centres from 84 per cent of trips to 45 per cent by 2050.

The report claims two-thirds of car trips made for commuting between 2015 and 2017 were within a comfortable cycling distance (five kilometres or less), while one-third were within a reasonable walking distance (2km or less).

KINDLING FUNDRAISER
As it's cooling down I thought I'd re-post this for my sons.

My sons are off to Australia with their Shirley Boys High cricket team in September and I am making them raise half the cost of their trip.

They have been selling this kindling for a few months now and have sold around 150 boxes with lots of repeat customers who are VERY happy with it.

They have been selling the smaller boxes in the photos for:
1 box =$10
3 boxes = $25
6 boxes = $50 (we can deliver 6 or more boxes)

They only have a few of these smaller boxes left but have been given bigger boxes.

These bigger boxes are:
1 box = $15
2 boxes = $30
3 boxes = $45
4 boxes = $50 (we can deliver 4 or more boxes)

The details are below:
The timber is non treated oregan which we have recycles and cut to length after a landscaper was going to dump them. They can be split in half or used as it is.

They can also be picked up from either Burwood or Harewood (Near Bishopdale)

Its a super cheap price and the oregan burns fast and hot!

They have loads of it all boxed up and ready to go and as mentioned have also sold a lot to very happy people.

First photo is of the small boxes which they have nearly run out of. Next photos are the bigger boxes priced above.

Price: $10

Supporting Our Young People – May 1st to 31st 👥

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

‘The children are our future.’ It’s a well-loved cliché around the world because it’s absolutely true. The hopes and dreams we have for our communities are only as strong as the children and young people who continue to believe in them long after we’re gone.

‘The children are our future.’ It’s a well-loved cliché around the world because it’s absolutely true. The hopes and dreams we have for our communities are only as strong as the children and young people who continue to believe in them long after we’re gone.

This month is all about supporting our young people, to encourage and empower them to not only be the change-makers and community builders of tomorrow but also the best versions of themselves. To listen to their perspective and remember that it’s not just about what we can teach them, but what lessons they can teach us. After all, the recipe for creating healthy, happy children includes a lot of the same ingredients for building safer, more resilient and connected communities.

Want to share your thoughts?

Let us know how you’re supporting young people in your communities this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

As it is getting colder as we head into Winter it is going to get dark earlier so you switch on the lights and heat pump or light the fire.

This is a good time to think about upgrading those old and tired downlight's to new, fresh energy efficient and a lot brighter LED downlights to brighten up your house and modernise your lighting.

To think only if I could get the heat from the lounge Fire to the bedroom's, Elusion Electrical can install a heat transfer kit.
At Elusion Electrical we can freshen up you old heat pump with a new one or if you don't have a heat pump we can install one for you.

At Elusion Electrical we do domestic, residential and commercial electrical work along with the LED lighting and heat pumps. We cater for all your electrical needs.

Hi all

Burr verse Blade Grinder
Does anyone have any suggestions please
I am wanting to buy a Grinder for my chili spices
From my research i see that a coffee grinder will do the job well
But A Burr Coffee Grinder is supposedly better than that the Blade Coffee Grinder
 but these are far more expensive
I do not want to spend lots of money

Also
Are only dried spices used in a Grinder
or can you Grind fresh spices also
