New 13.5-metre water slide and pools planned for Hanmer Springs

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

The proposed slide will send riders shooting down a winding hydroslide in two-person tubes, before going down a steep drop that propels them up a near-vertical wall for a moment of weightlessness before zooming back down onto the slide's finish.

Plans for the $4.3 million development, announced on Monday, also include five new thermal pools.

How are you affected by the teachers' strike?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

What do you think about the teachers' strike? Thousands of Canterbury primary school teachers and principals are striking across the region today.

About 143 primary schools have closed, affecting around 50,000 school children. It's the third in a series of rolling strikes, and even bigger strikes including both primary and secondary school teachers haven't been ruled out yet.

Teachers say the strike action is calling for better pay and working conditions, more learning support, including for children with special needs, and smaller class sizes.

So, do you support the strike action? Or do you think they should have accepted the previous offer? Are you a striking teacher? Or a parent that's been affected by the strike action? Let us know your thoughts in the replies below.

If you like working with your hands, don’t let outdated stereotypes put you off a rewarding career in trades. Women enjoy just as much success and job satisfaction as their male colleagues and sometimes leave the guys in their wake.

A great example is Pasifika student Tepora Rokotavo who did a pre-trade course in electrical studies with us at Ara Institute of Canterbury. Tepora achieved 93% in her final exams – an outstanding result – and is now on her way to becoming a qualified electrician. We love helping female students into trades careers.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, explore your options here.

The box with the all the Adams Titian Ware (5 tea plates, two dinner plates, two vegetable dishes etc), which hadn't been put out or unpacked - I'd love it back. It is commission work for a Dunedin Street Vintage customer, which was destined for that table of mine! I'd be happy for you to keep the black and white plate for the price you paid for the box.
