Christchurch's original urban school Ao Tawhiti Unlimited Discovery reopens in a $30 million building on the corner of Colombo and St Asaph streets in April.
But the school won't be like others, with no staffroom, offices, library, playground, or parking.
The school's director says they will use the city as their playground, library, and museum. What do you think of this concept - would you like your child to go to a school in the city centre?

Hi,
Wanting to know if anyone has had experience dealing with North Canterbury Painters and their workmanship? My In laws, in Kaiapoi, are needing their house and garage roof painted. They had a painter come and start the job but the job he has done so far has been terrible with poor workmanship and quality, but they had already paid him $1K. North Canterbury Painters have quoted to come and fix / finish the job but we cant find any information about them and I don't want them getting burnt again.
Any feedback is appreciated or other recommendations.

The simple gesture of sending a Christmas card could help tackle "the single biggest issue facing older people today".

It all started when Auckland woman Hannah Rodgers and her son, Jayden, committed to 100 days of kindness in the lead-up to Christmas last year.

"On day 65, Jayden suggested we write a card for someone who might feel lonely at Christmas," Rodgers says.

Now Rodgers and her son want the campaign, Sending Love, to help 100,000 Kiwis of all ages as it returns for its second year.
