Six year thirteen students from Selwyn have received tertiary scholarships from Selwyn District Council to help fund their future studies.

Applicants are judged on the contribution they’ve made to their schools and communities, their attitude and academic ability. The final decision being made by a panel including School and Council representatives.

Scholarships were awarded to Hannah Long and Duncan Finalyson from Lincoln High School, Cassian Duthie and Brionne Fleming from Ellesmere College and Emily De Rooy and Kathryn Barnhill from Darfield High School who are all to be congratulated. All were the recipients of the 2016 Selwyn District Council Tertiary Scholarship Award.

Four of the six students are going to Otago University in 2017 to study Health Science.

One of these, Ellesmere College graduate Cassian Duthie, hopes to go on to study Oncology and pursue research in cancer treatment.

Darfield High School graduate Kathryn Barnhill is also studying Health Sciences at Otago this year and said this scholarship will help her a lot with her studies.

“Receiving this scholarship felt like a huge surprise and honour

given the number of amazing and deserving applicants there were, and I hope to be able to study hard to come away with a degree that will allow me to give back to our community,” commented Kathryn.

In early 2017 Hannah Long from Lincoln High School is spending a month travelling through Europe and America with the United Nations Youth Organisation before returning to Christchurch to study a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations and Sociology. Hannah said receiving the scholarship was a very humbling experience as there were many students at her school deserving of the scholarship.

Emily De Rooy, also from Darfield High School will study Human Services at Canterbury University.

EXFOLIATION - WHY DO WE NEED TO EXFOLIATE? As we age our natural skin renewal begins to slow down; leaving us with a thicker, oAen dull or dry appearance to our skin.

Regular home exfolia on is not only essen al to keep a healthy fresh glow, but also to help our moisturisers and other products to penetrate properly into our healthy new layers of skin.

Common types of Exfolia on: Manual Exfolia on: Crushed beans, nuts or kernels - please be careful, we don’t recommend for home use.

Enzyme: Generally made of fruit enzymes, these help to break down the fats and debris in the layers of dead skin so that they can come off the healthy layers.

Professional/Chemical: Microdermabrasion; a wand with diamond crystals combined with suc on is passed across the skin to liA dead skin cells.

Lemonwood Grove School on East Maddison’s Road Rolleston opened it’s doors on January 30th, 2017 with approximately eighty students from Years 1-8.

The school has the infrastructure to eventually accommodate up to 750 students.

On Monday, January 23rd, a blessing was held at the school led by mana whenua.

School Principal Sean Bailey commented on the day. “This was a significant event for the school. We had a great attendance with around seventy people participating. To have the mana whenua here to bless the School was very special as the rich cultural heritage of the area will be a key aspect in our identity.

“The first pupil to be enrolled at the school for 2017, Angus

This is par cularly good for sallow and acne prone skins.

Peels or Acid Solu ons: Available in various strengths they dissolve the dead layers of skin, revealing fresher new skin.

Do’s and Don’ts: • Do choose products carefully • Do make home exfolia on a part of your skin rou ne, it’s key to your skin health, aAer thirty years of age we recommend two to three mes per week depending on skin type.

• Don’t over exfoliate, every day is not necessary.

• Don’t be over zealous with the scrubs or the skin may become red or irritated.

Remember not all products are the same, so seek advice from a professional if you are unsure.

The Team at Affinity

Winter had the honour of re-placing the soil (taken initially at the site blessing earlier) during the tree planting ceremony, before everyone had the opportunity to walk around the School.

“The name ‘Lemonwood Grove’, has been gifted to the school by the local Rūnanga Taumutu.

Tarata is a large Lemonwood Tree that grows 12-13 metres tall and is common from lowland forest to sea level. Its leaves have a lemony smell when crushed and it is one of many indigenous plants that grew successfully in the Selwyn area.

There have been a lot of these trees planted around the School and the history of the tree will be a part of the students’ learning at Lemonwood Grove School.”

“Our Club has grown from seven

swimmers in July 2016 to nineteen swimmers in December 2016. We are very proud of our growth and hope it continues,” Joan said.

Dunsandel RFC Netball are pleased to announce that they have secured a team of coaches for the upcoming 2017 netball season.

T he D un s an d el N et ba l l Committee is a new group of faces who have previously been involved with the Club in various roles. The club is focussing on a player centred approach, while creating a culture of developing values through sport.

The committee and coaches are excited about the upcoming season and about making playing netball for their Club a positive experience for all involved.

“We are a family and community orientated Club,” said a s p o k e s p e r s on , “w i t h a commitment to player development. There are four areas that successful sports’ people develop at a young age; attitude, effort, risk taking and being team player.

“In the junior area of our Club, rather than the main focus being on winning or losing and who scores the goals, our coaches will also be emphasising exceptional personal attitudes, team attitudes, effort and taking

risks. Although risk taking doesn’t always result in a successful shot, pass or intercept, when players take intelligent risks this will be encouraged.”

The Club President commented: “The Club is expanding this season and is looking for new players at all levels. In 2016 we had seven teams in the Selwyn competition ranging from Juniors, through to Premier level. With our strong coaching team and willing volunteers we have the capacity to grow.

“Dunsandel RFC Netball have secured a team of eight coaches for the upcoming netball season (with a couple of extras up our sleeve).

“We have coaches working toward gaining their coaching awards, while three others currently hold their NZ Community Coaching Award.

They are: Jan Roberts, who has more than ten years of coaching experience. Jan has been involved in coaching school teams, as well as Primary grades, representative teams through to premier level. Jan holds her BTchLn (Bachelor of Teaching and Learning) and a

NZ Community Coaching Award (NZCCA).

Anna O’Reilly who has ten years of coaching experience ranging from years 5-6, through to senior levels. Anna holds her Bachelor of Education (Tch) majoring in Physical Education.

Raynor Lough who has been coaching juniors for Dunsandel for the past four years and has a passion for youth netball. She has coached years 7-8, A and B teams at Ellesmere College and travelled with them to many tournaments in the past couple of years. Raynor holds the role of Player and Coaching Development for the Club.

Sue Lee who has more than fifteen years of coaching, playing and umpiring experience. Sue has coached for Dunsandel for two years starting with the Premier A team as assistant coach and taking over as head coach in the 2016 season. Over the past two years Sue has developed a positive culture in the Club’s senior team. Her approach continues to attract her players back to the Club.

The ‘Summer in Selwyn’ event series kicked off recently with around 800-1000 mums, dads, children and teddy bears attending the annual Teddy Bears’ Picnic. The event was held on Wednesday, January 18th in Rolleston. Despite the bad weather and moving the event indoors to the Rolleston Community Centre, lots of laughs and fun was had. Special guests Rainbow Lily the fairy attended and the Zirka Circus acrobats put on a jaw dropping performance.

Children also enjoyed a petting zoo and the ‘House of Bricks’.

Check out www.selwyn.govt.nz/ events for more upcoming summer events!

MAKING A PLAN

A fun afternoon of storytelling at the Teddy Bear’s Picnic.

Children and parents enjoy the acrobatics at the Teddy Bear’s Picnic.

The old adage, ‘Failing to Plan is to Planning to Fail’ does not only apply to a business. This can be true of any project and especially finances.

If 2017 is to be your year for achieving that dream of owning a house, or star ng a rental porGolio, you need to have a plan to succeed.

For your first home - your finances need to be in good shape. Personal debt needs to be repaid.

Credit card debt needs to be addressed. A savings plan to show a lender that you are capable of pu ng funds away, thereby giving confidence that you can manage a mortgage. Make a plan, do a budget and try to refer to it once a month. There will be blowouts so don’t beat yourself up about it, just keep calm and carry on!

If you have managed to build good equity into your exis ng home, then perhaps you are thinking that you can buy a second home or upgrade yourself and keep your exis ng home as a rental.

Remember you do need to have 40% equity or deposit for an investment property now.

Have a plan but keep it achievable and flexible.

Happy 2017!!!

Courses aimed at helping mature drivers gain skills to be safer on the road are being offered to Selwyn residents in February and March. Separate CarFit events can also be organised during these months to offer a free check of a car’s safety features and

how to ensure a comfortable and safe driving position in the vehicle.

As in other areas of New Zealand, the number of Selwyn motorists over the age of sixty is expected to increase in the future.

Selwyn District Road Safety

Coordinator Ngaire Tinning commented that Confident Driving courses are a fun and easy way for residents over sixty to refresh their driving and road rule knowledge and also look at ways to plan how their driving can be safer on the road.

"We are really pleased to be able to offer these free courses and workshops with support from Age Concern and our volunteers. As Selwyn is a rural area, driving is important for older people to be able to access local services and keep connected to family and

friends. Previous workshops have proven very popular and valuable to assist people to be able to continue to drive safely on our roads," Ngaire added.

Selwyn District Council and Age Concern offer the Confident Driving Course to help older drivers remain confident on the road and encourage an increased awareness of the traffic environment and other road users. The course covers road rules, planning car trips, using safe routes and when to drive to avoid peak traffic times. It is designed to be thought prov oki ng, i nformat ive, enjoyable and informal. There are no tests or exams and participants will receive a certificate of attendance.

Morning tea and lunch is provided for participants booked to attend.

Five Confident Driving courses will be offered at: • Darfield Tues, Feb 14th • Rolleston Mon, Feb 20th • Lincoln Wed, March 1st • Prebbleton Wed, March 15th • Leeston Wed, March 29th.

The courses are available free to Selwyn residents. For information and bookings see the advertisement in this issue for further details.

The Council and local volunteers can also offer a free Carfit check for mature drivers which checks a car’s safety features with the driver.

The check is carried out by trained volunteers with an occupational therapist, and looks at mirrors, seatbelt, seat and steering wheel position, plus other car safety features.

The check takes around twenty minutes.

Anyone interested in attending a Carfit check should phone Ngaire on 347 2901, or email: ngaire.tinning@selwyn.govt.nz

Enhancing Selwyn District for over 25 years Selwyn MP Amy Adams has welcomed the Government’s announcement that eight new areas of Selwyn will get UltraFast Broadband (UFB) under the second phase of the UFB programme.

“This expansion is great news for the areas involved, which are West Melton, Darfield, Leeston, Lincoln fringe/ Springston, Southbridge and Rakaia,” commented Amy, who until recently held the

Communications portfolio herself.

“Households and businesses in Lincoln and Rolleston are already making the most of the UFB network, and the rollout is currently underway in Prebbleton.

“The expansion will mean that an additional 8,485 residents and business-owners in many of our other towns around Selwyn will also be able to reap the benefits of a world-

class broadband service in the coming years.”

Rakaia is the first of the new areas scheduled for completion, with work expected to be completed there by June this year. The roll-out in the remaining areas will be carried out between January 2020 and August 2023.

More information about the rollout is available at www.broadband.govt.nz.
