Christchurch's original urban school Ao Tawhiti Unlimited Discovery reopens in a $30 million building on the corner of Colombo and St Asaph streets in April.
But the school won't be like others, with no staffroom, offices, library, playground, or parking.
The school's director says they will use the city as their playground, library, and museum. What do you think of this concept - would you like your child to go to a school in the city centre?

Rotary needs you!

Rotary International is a service club like no other. We serve in this community and thousands of other communities around the world. With 1.2 million members in over 35,000 clubs globally, Rotary is well placed to reach out when a positive outcome is desired or needed. Christchurch has over a dozen Rotary clubs made up of members just like you and me. People wanting to put something back into our community at many levels.

So what have we at Rotary Club of Christchurch South achieved of late?

Prior to Christmas our Club will again sponsor a Christmas party for all the children at a local decile 2 school. Each child received a small present and a personalised greeting from Father Christmas. Food and drink was also provided making it a fun afternoon for all.

And what of the past? What has Rotary achieved? How’s this for starters…

Locally:

Community donations, community building projects, public environmental seminars, student exchanges, youth development, school speech contests, charity collections, medical research assistance, vocational interaction and much much more.

Nationally:

Crippled children’s Society (CCS), First Health Camps, First Karitane hospital, Defensive driving courses, Kidney Foundation, Riding for disabled, Asthma Society, First mobile TB clinic, Milk in schools, Outward Bound, Ellerslie flower show!

Internationally:

In partnership with the World Health Organisation Rotary has played a major role (over $1b NZD donated) in the now almost-eradicated disease, polio. Peace scholarships, Group study Exchanges, Ambassadorial scholarships, Youth exchanges, Conflict resolution, Literacy and education, Water projects and much more.

Interested? The Rotary Club of Christchurch South meets on most Wednesday evenings, 6pm, at the Cashmere Club in Colombo Street, Beckenham. Please come and join us for a meeting or two and see if Rotary is an organisation that interests you. Call Alan Airay on 027 895 5409 or 337 0835 and he will confirm meeting dates. E-mail airay@xtra.co.nz if preferred.

We look forward to meeting you and extend the hand of friendship and fellowship in the name of Rotary.

Angel Wings Childrens Christmas Appeal

Children suffering from unwell to life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, can spend numerous time in hospital, straining families financially, mentally and physically. This appeal relieves this strain on these families during this time of year.

I am asking for a donation of a gift for a child (ages 0-16), to be placed into the box at Heathcote Valley School office. I will collect these regularly until the last day of school (19 December). If you choose to wrap these can you please write on the gift whether it is for a girl or boy and the age.

If you wish to donate monetary wise, please donate via the Chrissa Angel Wings give a little page: givealittle.co.nz.... I will use this to purchase gifts to wrap up and pass out leading up to Christmas.

To read about Chrissa’s story, and the reason for the Angel Wings foundation, please go to the facebook page: www.facebook.com...

The simple gesture of sending a Christmas card could help tackle "the single biggest issue facing older people today".

It all started when Auckland woman Hannah Rodgers and her son, Jayden, committed to 100 days of kindness in the lead-up to Christmas last year.

"On day 65, Jayden suggested we write a card for someone who might feel lonely at Christmas," Rodgers says.

Now Rodgers and her son want the campaign, Sending Love, to help 100,000 Kiwis of all ages as it returns for its second year.
