Wanted : caring, fun-loving host families for our female Japanese high school students
If you have a spare room, are keen to share NZ culture, learn about Japanese culture and earn some extra money, then hosting could be a good option for you. Our female, Japanese high school students are coming to Christchurch next April and we are looking for some welcoming host families who are willing to become their kiwi family for a year.
Southern Cross Language Institute is a well-established language school in Merivale and offers excellent host family support and competitive board rates.
To find out how you can start your hosting experience, please contact Lisa at 022 010 5288 or email lisa@scli.co.nz
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
