Fernside School PTA president Natasha Pagan says it took several years to raise the close to $6000 needed for the community's new automated external defibrillator, so it was exciting to finally get it.
"We noticed there was a need for the defibrillator in the community, as the nearest one is [5 kilometres away] in Rangiora," she says.
"We feel very privileged that we were able to provide something so life-changing in our community."

It's the second such note to be left on a Rangiora family's car within two months.
Reality Bites Cafe owner Karl Horwarth says he found the "very upset" woman, who was almost in tears, as he was leaving the cafe last week.
Horwarth, who uses a wheelchair himself, said the woman had a mobility permit for a disability that was not necessarily obvious.
"I had a quick chat to her and told her not to get upset as I get notes like that all the time."
While sitting waiting for my daughter to come out of school i was parked outside the Cemetery on Eastbelt next door to the high school, i am appalled at the state of it, headstones down and damaged, grass is knee high, the fence out the front looks tacky. This is so disrespectful.

So when the pair went for a Labour Day swim at the Ashley Gorge, they were gutted when Toby resurfaced minus his ring.
He had no expectation he would find it – after all he was searching for a small circle of tungsten in a river – but he spotted a sparkle after just five minutes in the knee-deep water.
"I saw a glimmer, what looked like the light reflecting on the water, but it stayed in the same spot. I thought it would probably be a piece of glass but when I scooped it up I realised it was my ring."
"[It's] not leaving my finger now, unless I'm swimming in a river," he says.

However, critics say they’re dangerous and people are injured by them every year. Fans, on the other hand, argue that all fun involves some level of risk, it just needs to be managed safely.
Last year, we saw a 23% drop in the number of fireworks-related injury claims (171 claims across 2017 versus 223 across 2016). What do you think? Should personal fireworks be banned? Click here for advice on how to use fireworks responsibly.
