I would like to give a shout out to Dave Appleyard, who has retired after 25 years at Rata St School. He has been the principal since 2002 and in the years since has built a strong reputation both for himself and for the school.

I got to know Dave well during my time with the Hutt News. He was always approachable and extremely helpful. More importantly, there was never any doubt that he always had the best interests of his students at heart. Last year Appleyard won the education category in the Wellingtonian of the Year Awards for his focus on students with special needs.
I wish him all the best. Nicholas Boyack

Jayne L’Amour is forking out thousands of dollars to have life-changing surgery in the United States.

The Lower Hutt former dancer and fitness instructor has a rare condition, known as slipping rib syndrome. It occurs occurs when the cartilage on a person’s lower ribs slips and moves, leading to pain in their chest or upper abdomen.
The options in New Zealand include removing ribs, but a pioneer surgeon in the US has worked out a way to stabilise them.

She is heading heading to the United Hospital Centre in Bridgeport, West Virginia, for surgery, and will spend a month in America.

Remutaka MP and State Services Minister Chris Hipkins would like to see some civil servants move to Lower Hutt.

Hipkins says hubs outside Wellington would take pressure off existing offices in Wellington. Wellington’s public sector employs about 27,000, while there are about 37,000 in the private sector. A Cabinet paper tabled last year revealed the State Services Commission wanted to “reduce the footprint” of government workers in the Wellington and Auckland regions, and move agencies elsewhere when possible.

What do you think of moving some state servants to Lower Hutt?
