We do not put meat etc into our waste bin. We freeze our food rubbish for collection day. We have located 4 nasty smelly spots in our house and after inspection under the floor believe they have died in the walls ! The next thing we will endure will be groggy big black blow flies by the dozen daily ! They come into the house when we turn on the lights and come down from the light fittings ! We seem to be going through this cycle every 3 months. Bait stations have been laid outside the house near a large shed,under the floor.I am sick of the stench and flies.What are we doing wrong ?

We also want you to know that we have enjoyed taking your phone bookings and between sessions will continue to take them because at Cinema 3 we have a few "actual people" as said on our phone prompt, who can help with that lol. There are also some great movies screening currently, so being as it's nearing festivities it pays to book. Hopefully see you all at the pictures. Have a Very Merry Christmas 🎄🎄

Our hands-on courses aim to develop trainees' skills, attitudes and knowledge while addressing the identified needs of various industries.

Distribution
Distribution is big business in New Zealand, employing about 1 in every 20 New Zealanders. Get into the distribution, logistics or freight forwarding industries, as this qualification will help progress your career no matter your age.

Free forklift licence and Reach Counter Balance included due to growing demand for forklift drivers.

Retail
Retail is a fast-moving industry and New Zealand organisations need to respond to customer demand and predict future trends. Whether you’re already working in retail, or trying to get a foot in the door, this intermediate/supervisory level qualification will ensure you stand out from the crowd.

You'll develop your ability to give feedback, respond to customer complaints and establish better communication in the workplace, sales and consumerism, workplace training and you’ll gain retail skills that will impress your potential employer.

Hospitality
Hospitality and tourism are amongst the fastest growing areas of employment in the world and the rewards for talented and focused individuals are high. Despite the huge growth in the Hospitality, Leisure, Recreation & Tourism industry, highlighted is the lack of skilled staff to fill the vacancies.

The beauty of Hospitality, Leisure, Recreation & Tourism is that no matter where you are in the world, the industry has a place. Whether you choose to work in hotels, events, attractions, or anywhere else in the sector, there are always jobs available to Hospitality, Leisure, Recreation & Tourism graduates.

Business Administration and Technology
Whatever the industry, all businesses need qualified and professional administrative support staff. Build your business administration and computing skills to enable you to be confident with office operations and business services.

This programme will help you develop basic accounting skills, including table and formula use, as well as business document and publication production. You'll learn how to use mobile and digital technology systems and software in order to meet organisational requirements.

Plus, this certificate will also develop your understanding of office functions, financial transactions and documentation, as well as customer service.

Spa Pool, Free but you will need to disconnect and remove it.

Frank from Pahurehure

We inherited this spa pool when we moved here in Pahurehure and it has never been used by us. I turned it on to take the photo for this ad and the water pumped through as I guess it should. It looks old and needs a good clean. It comes with the pump.

I turned it on to take the photo for this ad and the water pumped through as I guess it should. It looks old and needs a good clean. It comes with the pump. The spa is situated in the gazebo type structure as in the photo and it is the your responsibility to remove the spa and disconnect the pump etc to take with you. Spa pool diameter is approx 213cms plus the jet pump button comes out another 5cm approx as per in the photo.

If you want the gazebo then that's ok for you to dismantle and remove as well, at your cost (if you need equipment) and at your risk. It looks sturdy enough and probably been up for many years but we know nothing of its design or construction.

We strongly urge you to view to satisfy yourself of the age, condition and suitability of the spa.

As we dont know anything about it, it's strictly AS-IS-WHERE-IS with no warranty expressed or implied.
