Another great story!
Southland father and son, Robert and Bobby Baird have recently received their forestry qualifications, proving you are never too old to learn.

While Robert has practical experience gained during four decades in the bush, he says vocational training like the qualification he has just done is helping keep people safe.

Competenz assessor Neville Muir worked with Bairds throughout their training programme.

“Bobby is very driven to succeed and very organised. He’s also very keen to continue upskilling his crew and there are a lot of different certificates still to do,” he says.

While Bobby is his boss at work, Robert turns back into ‘dad’ at the end of the day. “I give him a hand during the day when he’s got a lot of work on. We have a great relationship and it’s a magic thing to be able to do to work with your son.”

After missing out on seeing fluffy chicks and bouncing lambs last year, kids will be able to attend the country’s biggest agricultural show for free this year.

The New Zealand Agricultural Show in Christchurch was cancelled last year, the first time since World War II, due to the uncertainty created by Covid-19.

The event’s organisers, the Canterbury A&P Association, decided earlier this year to go ahead with the 2021 event and the latest Covid-19 outbreak has not changed its view.

The association has also decided for the first time to allow kids aged up to 17 to attend for free. In previous years, only under 5s have been free.

Happy Tuesday neighbours,

Most of the country will wake up in level 2 on Wednesday morning.

The key differences to the previous level 2 restrictions are limits on gatherings. Indoors, such as in hospitality settings or event venues, the maximum number of people allowed is now 50.

Outdoors, it is 100 – and records must be kept of attendees at both indoor and outdoor events.

Social distancing at indoor venues has also increased, from 1 metre previously, to 2 metres under the new alert level 2.

Oceania has always believed in better and so does The Bellevue’s Care Manager, Russell.

Since returning to the South Island five years ago, Russell has been proud to witness Christchurch’s resurgence.

“Christchurch is like a phoenix risen from the ashes, with a tremendous opportunity to redefine itself.” And now he is playing his part in reimagining our city’s aged care offering.

Russell has built his team at The Bellevue with one goal in mind. “As the Care Manager I believe I have a principle responsibility to set the scene in providing an environment where staff can truly excel, feel empowered and make a positive difference to the lives of residents, families and each other.”

During the transition to care, extra support is provided. “Our fantastic Guest Services Manager is the key to helping residents feel at ease when they first move in, as she provides a hospitality overlay. She’ll get to know you so that she can provide all the extra touches that make you feel at home,” says Russell.

Another initiative Russell is proud of is that couples can stay together in the same room, even if their needs are not aligned. Russell has seen the impact it has on residents - “It is just wonderful to offer couples Care Suites which allow couples to stay together – just as they always have,” says Russell.

To find out more about our Care Suites, with Rest Home and Hospital level care, get in touch with Russell today.
