What's your experience with pre-fabricated homes?

Kelly Dennett Reporter from Sunday Star Times

The Sunday Star-Times is looking into the rise of transportable/ kit-set/ pre fabricated homes. The upsides are build-efficiency, quality of design, and cost. The downsides appear to be land supply, red-tape with council and difficulty getting lending from banks. If you're willing to share … View moreThe Sunday Star-Times is looking into the rise of transportable/ kit-set/ pre fabricated homes. The upsides are build-efficiency, quality of design, and cost.

When New Zealand’s Alert Level 4 came into effect in March 2020, schools around the country faced the challenge of a transitioning from onsite to online learning.

As students adjusted to the shift in their educational environment, many schools were ill-prepared to move to quickly to online learning. Schools such as St Peter’s in Cambridge were readily prepared for a seamless transfer between classroom and digital learning.

With each student ready to use online platforms such as Google Classroom and Hangouts, a streamlined shift was enabled as soon as the lockdown occurred.

Find out why more families are choosing St Peter’s at our Open Day on 12 March.

Paraglider hit by drone landed unhurt, but situation could have been 'a different story'

The Team Reporter from Franklin County News

Panmure resident Davy Binois was paragliding at Karioitahi Beach in February 2018 when his glider’s lines were struck by a drone.

Panmure resident Davy Binois was paragliding at Karioitahi Beach in February 2018 when his glider’s lines were struck by a drone.

He was about 100 metres high and enjoying the good flying conditions when he heard a small noise “like an engine”.

When he looked up, he was shocked to find a drone had become stuck in his right-hand side brake line which connected his harness to the glider’s canopy.

As a result of the multiple-propellered drone becoming tangled, Binois’ right-hand line became shorter, as if the right brakes were on, which made it difficult to steer the glider.

Binois said while it was a stressful situation, he managed to land uninjured and with “no problems”.

“It could have been a different story if the drone struck the glider in the canopy.”

The Matariki cluster will send Aotearoa a new public holiday next year.

The actual date of Matariki will move but is expected to always fall on a Friday or Monday.

The first day off will be Friday June 24 in 2022.

Government advice suggests the new Matariki public holiday will cost businesses between $377 - $448 million.

But that advice does not include any potential economic benefits from the new public holiday, set to be introduced from next year.

The estimated cost has come under fire from ACT leader David Seymour who said the public holiday amounted to a tax on business.

Seymour suggested that the Government get rid of another public holiday to make way for Matariki.
