The Trust’s traditional work among primary and intermediate students, based around mobile classrooms, will continue nationwide. ‘Game Changers’ is focussed on secondary students, particularly 15-16 year olds.
The underlying idea is to intercept the behaviour of young people at the transition points in their lives, and have their insights move beyond the school and into their families.
This year the Trust will roll out the first of several threads under the Game Changers banner, ‘The Great Brain Robbery’. (This was the title of a book by Tom Scott written in the 1990’s, which dealt with the effects of cannabis on developing brains.)
The statistics around our youth abusing alcohol and substances (mostly cannabis) are alarming, and the effect of this on brain development can be profound.
To promote a responsible attitude to drink and drugs, Life Ed has franchised a UK-origin programme called ‘Smashed’ in which three young actors role-play and workshop drunkenness and drug-taking. The programme has proved to be a success in the UK and has been running for 10 years. The Trust reviewed it in Australia where it was first franchised, and adapted it for local language and culture.
‘Smashed’ will be taken around the country shortly. A third of secondary schools have already signed up for it, the actors have been engaged, and the programme has been rehearsed. We wish the Trust well in its new endeavour.
In as new condition, used few times as a bed for visiting granddaughter otherwise used as sofa in computer room. Very comfortable to sit on when used as a sofa or comfortable easy fold out bed. Sofa seats 3-4 folk. Purchased from Harvey Norman in 2015 so virtually new.
Is anyone looking to get rid of an old TV? I'm looking for an old CRT TV, less than 20" in size. 15" will probably be ideal. Must have RCA input.

INBAL MEGIDDO, MARY GOW, DAVID BARNARD AND PAUL ALTOMARI
Mulled Wine Concerts - the non-profit organisation dedicated to bringing the finest
classical music artistes to the Kapiti region - is the brainchild of Mary Gow. The series has
been running for over 10 years and has at the last count notched up 62 concerts. Herself a
prizewinning New Zealand concert pianist, Mary Gow has been responsible for bringing
many fine performers to Paekakariki where she lives. But now, she is laying aside her
organisational clipboard and donning her concert clothes, as she will be performing with a
group of special friends at her concert on 26 May in Paekakariki's St Peter's Hall.
Mary studied music at Victoria University, Wellington following which she took up a Belgian
Government Scholarship to the Royal Brussels Conservatorium gaining First Prizes and
Higher Diplomas in both Piano and Chamber Music. In addition to presenting the Mulled
Wine Concerts, she has maintained her presence in Europe, playing and organising
concerts.
Cellist Inbal Megiddo will join Mary Gow to perform Schumann’ Five Pieces for cello and
piano preceded by Bach’s Suite for solo cello. Inbal Megiddo is a Senior Lecturer in
classical performance at the New Zealand School of Music. She brings to her
performances years of experience, the influence of master teachers, and praise from
influential musicians. They will be joined by pianist David Barnard, and bassist Paul
Altomari and together will present the Kapiti audience with a feast of beautiful music. After
initial studies in Australia, David Barnard forged his career in the UK and has recently been
appointed to the permanent staff of the New Zealand School of Music as Head
Accompanist & Vocal Coach. Paul Altomari has led the bass sections of several orchestras
in the United States and is now the section principal double bass of Orchestra Wellington.
He regularly appears with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and Auckland
Philharmonia and performs chamber music in North America, Asia and Australasia. Also on
the programme is Bach's Suite No 5 in C Minor for Solo Cello,Franck's Sonata for cello and piano,
Rossini Duo and Goltermann's Souvenirs de Bellini.
The concert will take place in the special ambience of St Peter's Hall at the heart of the
artistic nexus that is Paekakariki Village. The venue is easily reached by public transport
from either north or south. Kapiti concertgoers are in for a real treat!
