Stormwater storm brewing Charles Anderson Editor

The state of the city’s stormwater problems have been laid bare by desperate residents asking the Nelson City Council to do something to alleviate the rising tide of
flood-related issues. Everyone from kindergartens, homeowners and businesses have asked the council to help solve issues, some which have been going on for years. Last week the Nelson Weekly reported on one such group of residents who feared the next
big rainfall would wash away the land behind their properties on russell st. However, a swathe of other submissions to the council’s Long Term Plan reveal the problem is widely felt and acute. A council report into the state of the city’s infrastructure estimates the cost of solving the city’s piped
water issues will cost more than $300m over the next 30 years. The infrastructure strategy report outlines some of the longer term issues related to the city’s outdated stormwater and wastewater network. But residents from across Nelson want action now. “In the winter of 2000 a failure
developed on the slope above my property during high rainfalls,” says Megan Gordon, who lives next to Bolwell reserve in Enner Glynn. “This occurred again in 2014 and this year it has occurred twice.”

“No, I didn’t, I saw a three minute video of it on Monday. Yeah, it’s still relevant, as long as they do something with their position and the boys really do that.”
“I watched a replay yesterday, I nearly cried!! I think it’s relevant. For them to accept Meghan, it’s a pretty big deal - a new age monarchy.”
“I looked at a few photos online but that was all, it was too late for me. I saw Princess Di’s wedding, I do like the monarchy, it’s better than having Trump in charge.”

She says the total saturation of this superficial layer has caused the moisture held in suspension to seep below her concrete foundation and flood the lower floor bedroom/office. “Our insurance company has advised us it will not cover us in the advent of this re-occurring until the cause has been rectified,” Megan says. “This is an urgent call for qualified geotechnical engineers to address this issue as the multiple phone calls and requests to NCC for site visits has had a poor response.” Council says that it is likely to be a private property issue but will still investigate surface stormwater flows from the reserve. Staff will also look at issues related to the Russell St properties for similar concerns. Members of Rutherford Street
Council will investigate stormwater runoff at Rose Brady and Sarah Lewis’ Russell St homes after they complained about potential land slips. Photo: Charles Anderson. Kindergarten were also concerned about flooding which might affect the ability of children to attend the soon to be reopened building. Earlier this year ,heavy rain caused an overflow in the sewerage system which flooded the kindergarten while they were painting and building. “I am very concerned that this
might happen in the future,” says board member Venus Sood. Karen Price of Tipahi St says there is no stormwater system in their street – it just runs down the road causing flooding to several properties. In winter that water becomes a hazard as it freezes – causing issues for pedestrians and motorists.

“Come on NCC, collectively our street has paid plenty of rates in the last 16 years while we’ve waited to see some action on our street,” Karen says. “Isn’t it time that our area was given a little bit more than just promises?” Council said that it had to “appropriately prioritise” its spending and many streets did not have a reticulated stormwater network in place. In response to the city’s stormwater issues, council’s infrastructure manager Alec Louverdis said, in the Long Term Plan, council allocated a total of $55m over ten years for stormwater upgrades and improvements. “While we will still be seeking short term solutions when possible, these projects and programmes will see the number and extent of stormwater issues across the city greatly reduced in the longer term.”

Tropical cyclone Gita is set to reach Nelson today and the region has been put on high alert. The storm – which has already caused havoc in the Pacific - is expected to bring gale force winds, heavy rain and storm surges to the Top of the South from this morning. MetService have issued a heavy rain warning for the 12 hours from 9am to 9pm Tuesday, and a strong wind warning from 3pm Tuesday until 10pm Wednesday. Rocks Rd will be closed from 10am today as a precaution and Nelson City Council-owned parks and reserves will also be closed from 10am. Several schools are also planning to close for the day, including Clifton Terrace, Central and Hira. Residents in low lying coastal areas have been

Kate Russell Nelson City Council will spend $50,000 to employ security guards and youth workers at the Stoke Library over the next year. The decision comes after Nelson Weekly reported council concern over “antisocial behavior” at the library including drug dealing, assaults, public intimidation, fighting and breach of trespass notices. Library users and staff reported feeling unsafe with some staff requiring counselling while others were temporarily taken off the roster. Council initially proposed in its Long Term Plan 2018 - 2028 to spend a total of $150,000 over three years on the problem. But, after a fiery exchange at last Thursday’s deliberations, councillors voted to shorten that timeframe to one year. “If things haven’t improved after six or nine months we will come back through the annual plan and ask for more money,” said chief executive Pat Dougherty. “We need to make sure we keep it on a downward track.”
Violence at Nelson libraries Kate Russell & Charles Anderson
Nelson City Council has deployed security guards and youth workers to Stoke Library after a damning report highlighted repeated incidents of assault and abuse, including people using needles to
fire ‘blow darts’ at passers-by. The report on security incidents at all three Nelson City Council libraries was presented to council’s audit risk and finance subcommittee last Tuesday after an independent security risk assessment survey was carried out last
September. The report says that Stoke, Elma Turner and Nellie Nightingale Memorial libraries have all been experiencing security incidents for “some time”. In November, a security guard was put in place at Stoke Library
after a significant increase in antisocial and criminal behaviour, it says. There have been 78 incidents at libraries in the past two years the most being at Stoke Library (43) then Elma Turner (29) and Nellie Nightingale (6). Police
were called to 41 of these. Nelson city councillor Gaile Noonan says the trend was flagged last year, which lead to a more comprehensive report. “I noticed a trend that I wasn’t

Nelson design firm Jerram Tocker Barron scooped the trifecta at the region’s premier architecture awards on Friday. The 2018 NZIA Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards were held at the Nelson Centre of Musical Arts, with 12 local projects picking up honours. Jerram Tocker Barron picked up three awards, including the commercial award for the Plant and Food Research Facility in collaboration with Lab-works Architecture, described by the jury as a “fine new laboratory and research building on Nel-
son’s port edge”. They also picked up the interior award for the Port Nelson Offices and a housing award for their Candish House, a carefully composed house sited on Nelson’s Cathedral Hill. Irving Smith Architects won the public architecture category for The Trafalgar Centre, while Arthouse Architects won the heritage award for the Seafarers’ Chapel. The firm reworked the 154-year-old building without “compromise to heritage values,” the jury said. Alexander Bowman won the enduring architecture award for the Bowman Building. Seven housing awards, including two for alterations and addi-
tions, were also handed out. Modo Architects, Continuum Architecture, Philip Kennedy Associates Architects and Redbox Architects also scooped awards on the night. The Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards are part of the peer-reviewed New Zealand Architecture Awards programme run by the New Zealand Institute of Architects. The jury said they were impressed by very good examples of public, commercial and heritage architecture and Nelson/Marlborough winners are now eligible for consideration in the New Zealand Architecture Awards, which will be announced in November.

New market for New Street
Stoke firefighter steps up to challenge Sara Hollyman
Aurora Austin in the space that will soon be the New Street Market. Photo: Sara Hollyman Sara Hollyman New Street is soon to be the proud owner of a brand-new indoor market space. The New Street Market is the brain child of commercial property managers Aurora Austin, Gill Ireland and building owner, Tony Vining. Aurora says the market will be an eclectic mix of street food, local produce and locally made giftware, that will develop its own style and character. “It will be a place to meet, to hang out and just enjoy the space.
“We’ve all seen industrial look indoor spaces in other places that we’ve really enjoyed, but we have nothing like it here. “Thinking about the community, the type of people that live in Nelson, it just seems to fit, people love supporting locals and they love local produce.” Bi-fold doors will open-up into an industrial space housing 18 different stalls with a café and communal indoor seating for market-goers to enjoy the large log-fire. An internal door gives access to The Workshop Nelson for those wanting an alcoholic beverage.
Aurora says the finer details, such as opening hours, will need to be figured out a little closer to the time. “We’ve been working on the foundational stuff, the layout, making sure we have the right people here, the rest will come as we progress. They are hoping the market will be open by August/September. “We started talking about it well over a year ago and now we’re at the stage where we can sign people up, it’s really exciting.” Expressions of interest for stall spaces can be made to falcon@bayleysnelson. co.nz

It took Kevin Shea just 17 minutes and 36 seconds to climb 51 flights of stairs in Saturday’s Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge – the 18th fastest time in his category. It was 67-year-old Kevin’s first time competing and he chose to enter the Firefighter of Steel category, which meant he was carrying a steel oxygen tank – around 8kg heavier than others who carried carbon fibre cylinders. Kevin, along with his Stoke Volunteer Fire teammates, competed with more than 900 other firefighters from around
New Zealand, Australia and the USA. “It was a lot easier than I expected, it wasn’t easy, but it was better than Tamaki Steps three times in a row. I was expecting somewhere around 30 minutes, so I was quite chuffed with my time.” He said he had a tip from a fellow competitor before he started – “don’t look where you are”. “I just put my head down and got into a nice rhythm and before I knew it I was on floor 23.” The event raised more than $1.2 million for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer NZ with $3600 coming from the Stoke team.

Match-maker app boosts volunteering Kate Russell Reporter
kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Four young women are on a mission to get more people volunteering in the region through a free 'match-maker' app called Collaborate - all you have to do is swipe right on your favourite charity. The app pairs volunteer’s skills and interests with opportunities in the community and cultural organisations, and can be used on smart phones and computers. "Essentially it's Tinder for volunteering," says says CEO and cofounder, Holly Norton. "But instead, it matches people's skills with where they can have the biggest social impact. "Our goal is to make volunteering fast, fun and addictive." Holly designed and built the app with her sister Poppy and Ceara McAuliffe Bickerton, who all attended Nelson College for Girls, alongside their Wellington friend Sophie Harker. Holly says they first came up with the idea three years ago when they saw the charities they volunteered for were under-resourced and struggling. "We had also experienced first-

Photo: Colin McDiarmid. hand how hard it was to know where, or even how to help," says Holly. "We wanted to make it something everyone can do, every day." Organisations are able to post opportunities and view profiles of interested volunteers, reducing the time and money spent on
volunteer sourcing and management. Holly says that in the first six months, they had over 140 nationwide charities and hundreds of volunteers using the app - and they are hearing plenty of success stories. "One day the Red Cross sud-
denly needed two drivers to help move in new refugee families and found them both through the app that same day," she says. "It's amazing how often people don't know about projects that need help, which are happening in their own backyards." The app will be officially launched
in Nelson this Friday - although it has already been a hit with several local organisations, such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, Volunteer Nelson, The Brook Sanctuary and Arts Council Nelson. "We are so honoured and excited to be launching Collaborate in the community that first inspired our entrepreneurial journey," says Holly. "Now we really want to boost the number of Nelson organisations using it." They have also won several awards for the app and are now finalists in the New Zealand High Tech Awards for New Zealand's Best Public Good Solution for 2018. Holly says the app is completely free to use and 100 percent volunteer-run. "We don't make money from the app - we are entirely non-profit," she says. "Our philosophy is it should always save every user time and money, as it is about boosting people's capacity to do good." Holly will be speaking at the Young and Inspired event, which is also happening this Friday at the Suter Gallery. To get the app, visit www.letscollaborate.co.nz

The merchant seamen were civilian volunteers who sailed the ships that delivered troops, military equipment and vital cargoes of food, fuel and raw materials across the world's oceans. This work was so essential to the Allies' war effort that the Merchant Navy was effectively regarded as the fourth service alongside the army, navy and air force. More than 140 New Zealand merchant seafarers lost their lives, and a similar number were taken prisoner. No other group of New Zealand civilians faced such risks during wartime.

One fateful day off sick resulted in the grounding of the ‘Fifeshire’. James Cross, the ships pilot for Port Nelson was ill in February 1842 and unable
to work the day the “Fifeshire” was due to sail. Captain William Moore was called in as his replacement but in attempting to leave on a half tide, he misread the currents, running the ship hard aground on “Arrow Rock.”

Spencer’s journey Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
“What’s in your pants? Are you a fag or a dyke? Which bathroom do you use? Are you just crazy?” These are the questions non-binary Nelsonian Spencer Sharpe is asked regularly. The 24-year-old youth worker, who does not identify as ‘he’ or ‘she’ but instead goes by the pronoun ‘they’, will be speaking at a ‘Young and Inspired’ event later this month Spencer will tell their story, how they landed their dream job despite battling mental health and gender identity issues. “I’m going to talk about being mentally ill and doing awesome stuff anyway,” they say. Spencer works for Q-Youth as a social support worker, a job they have wanted since age 11. “I have ‘professional queer’ written on my business card which has been a goal of my since I first came out.” Spencer works with the local LGBTQ community and, as a nonbinary person, helps youth struggling to find their identity. “It’s different for everybody, but the main definition of non-binary is identifying outside of male or female.” As if the gender identity struggle wasn’t enough, Spencer has also battled mental illness most of their life. Spencer says mental illness tends
to be buy one, get one free. “I have Tourette’s, really intense anxiety, chronic depression and borderline personality disorder.” Their first visit to a councillor was at age 11. Spencer came out as non-binary at 15 to friends and 17 to their parents. They say while friends and family were very understanding, there is still a lot of ignorance and prejudice out there. “It’s difficult because people already take trans people not very seriously and a lot of people think that you’re just doing it for attention or trying to be special, but that couldn’t be any further from the truth.” Spencer says they received a lot of abuse in high school. But while they say Nelson has progressed significantly in the past few years, there is plenty more to do before all members of the LGBTQ community can feel comfortable in the city. “I don’t believe in 'you can’t teach a dog new tricks', everybody is constantly learning.” They say gender neutral pronouns is an easy way to show understanding toward non-binary people. “Everyone uses them all the time without realising, I don’t think it’s as hard as people think it is.” They say gender neutral bathrooms are another daily battle. “People don’t understand how difficult it is, I can’t just walk into a men’s or women’s bathroom be-

cause I’ve been yelled at and told I don’t belong.” Spencer says educating children will be the fastest way to eliminate prejudice as young people are far more open-minded. Spencer says the struggle of nonbinary people is that they can’t be put into a box by society, who in turn reject the notion that they are genderless. “People like to put people in categories, it’s easier to move through the world with everyone categorised.” They say society does this with every gender. “Men are expected to fit the masculine role, boys don’t cry, love rugby and beer, these expecta-
tions need to change.” Spencer says society is slowly becoming more understanding of the LGBTQ community and there is some amazing work being done by queer youth groups in local schools. As part of Spencer’s identity journey, they are hoping to get top surgery and a weight off their chest. Spencer has created a GiveaLittle campaign to raise funds for the pricey procedure. Spencer admits they may have to wait for a long time before getting surgery. “I would feel a lot more comfortable. It would really help my sense of self and I would look more like how I feel when I look

in the mirror.” Spencer’s dream is that one day non-binary, queer and transgender will be normalised in society. “Ideally, we wouldn’t even have to come out and no one would assume anything.” However, they say until such time, QYouth will keep supporting the young queer community in Nelson. “It’s a lot easier than going it alone.” QYouth, Nelson. 121 Trafalgar St. For more info go to facebook.com/ Q-Youth-898926306810860/ To contribute to Spencer’s GiveaLittle page go to givealittle.co.nz/ cause/spencerstopsurgery

Damin’s journey: $120k for US surgery Kate Russell For six-year-old Damin Ching, a mufti day at his school was the perfect way to cap off a nine-month-long fundraising campaign to get him lifechanging surgery overseas. The Ching family has almost crossed the finish line, with only $1000 to go in the $120,000 they need to get Damin to the United States next month for a rare operation called selective dorsal rhizotomy. Damin has right side hemiplegia, a type of cerebral palsy which causes him to have extremely high muscle tone and lack of control in the affected side of his body. He was diagnosed with the condition when he was ninemonths-old and things like running, swimming, riding a bike and even walking can
leave him exhausted. The operation, which involves cutting the nerve fibres in the spine that the brain uses to stiffen the limbs, is not funded in New Zealand. Damin’s mother, Mikayla McDonald, says although it’s not a cure, it will vastly improve his mobility, speech and frustration levels. “Basically the right side of his body can’t keep up with what his brain is telling him to do.” She says it has been an “exhausting” nine months of fundraising, but they’ve been “absolutely blown away” by the generosity of Nelsonians. Quiz nights, family fun days, movie nights, sausage sizzles, car washes, livestock sales, a Givealittle page and mufti days have all contributed to the cause. “We’ve constantly been organising something.
I couldn’t count how many hours each week we spent on it. We’ve really had to think outside the box.” The family will travel to the St Louis Children’s Hospital in Missouri on 26 June, with the five-hour long surgery scheduled for 5 July. “Damin’s excited. We’ve been reading him books about the surgery so he knows what will happen,” says Mikayla. “The only thing he’s upset about is the fact that he can’t have his four-year-old sister Katelyn staying in his hospital room with him.” Donations can still be made at www.givealittle.co.nz/cause/ daminsroadtosdr. Any leftover funds will go towards Damin’s rehabilitation. “We just want to say thank you to everyone who has helped us get to this point,” Mikayla says.

Waimea Dam: I agree with deputy mayor Paul Matheson that the Waimea Dam process has been a complete shambles, yet the NCC still offers to contribute $5 million to this very suspect venture. However, I am sure the mayor will respond to my letter and tell the Nelson ratepayers how many shares we will receive for our $5m. I guess it will be quite a number and we will share in the profits from this public/private partnership. Of course, I am totally lost in the propaganda the TDC has subjected the region to and only assume that is the legal status of the white elephant (Yet to be painted.) Errol Millar, Nelson. Emergency vehicles: Having moved from the country to my flat on Waimea Road, I have been dumbstruck by the extraordinary number of emergency vehicles racing past my home. Your story of a little boy, who became a traffic statistic before he was even properly born, brought tears to this crusty old man's eyes. I hope his parents continue to be comforted and to all the rest "be careful out there". Bryan Forrest, Nelson. ‘He was just so perfect’: There are no words, just so incredibly sad. My heart is heavy for you. Suzy Andrew. So, so tragic, yet they have compassion towards the driver that caused it. Wow, what strong, loving, forgiving people. Susan Tonks.
Absolutely heartbreaking on a level I just can't and don’t want to comprehend. RIP, dear little man. Cara Gee. Can't begin to imagine what you are both going through - I am so sorry. Yvonne Watson. Charge to change coffee cup culture: Encourage bring your own cups. 20c is nothing. And "Keep cups" are so handy. Andrea Grocott. I think it’s a great idea! Plus the money is going to local environmental charities, which is even better! Sarah Haynes. Robert Harris gives a 50c discount if you bring own cups. That's more of an incentive. Andrea Fensom. Such a fab idea!! Anything to get more people reusing cups!! Rosie Seek. Neighbours ‘live in fear’ of rain: We are in the same boat. Lived in a property for 20 years, now they are developing above us, we and neighbouring properties have become inundated with runoff. NCC couldn't care less. Jeremy Read. The same in my part of Konini St when they developed the part of Mount St above us. Martine Robertson. Yeah, when they developed Locking St it just sent all the water down the hill to Renwick Place. I see a reoccurring theme here. Jamara Ferguson.
Nelson Matters The good news for Nelson from Budget 2018 is that the economy remains strong. New Zealand history is littered with incoming governments facing major economic problems like those that confronted new Prime Ministers Lange in 1984, Bolger in 1990 and Key in 2008. Last week’s Budget numbers for growth, tax returns and surpluses shows National bequeathed an even stronger economy than expected. Much about the Budget was steady as she goes. The new spending in education and health was little different to National's. Labour has put the
health budget up by $2.6 billion compared to National’s $2.9 billion increase in last year’s budget. School funding increased this year by 1.6 percent which is less than the 1.9 percent average under National over nine years when times were much tougher. The most positive aspect of the Budget is the projections of ongoing increases in incomes. The average annual wage grew from $46,000 to $60,000 under National and is forecast to reach $72,000 by 2022. However, this means workers on the average wage will soon be paying the top tax rate that bites at $70,000. Labour reversed National’s Budget
2017 adjustments to the low and middle income brackets. People on the average wage should not be paying the top tax rate and this will need to be addressed. Many will be disappointed that the Budget did not deliver on Labour’s promises. Nelson’s 15,000 superannuitants have been short changed by $267 with the delayed winter energy payment. The promise to reduce the cost of a GP’s visit on 1 July for adults has not been met. Nelson’s 16,000 students have missed out on Labour’s promised Ipad for every school pupil. The 10,000 per year Kiwibuild homes has shrunk to 1,000 and
Shame on NCC! So many more people are in this position now and they sit back raking in the fees for consents to fix their messes! Gina Young.

the “affordable” price has surged to $650,000. Fuel tax is increasing by up to 24 cents per litre despite the promise of no new or increased taxes. Labour has also reneged on its promise to scrap secondary employment tax. Nor is there any sign of Labour’s promise to slash immigration by 30,000 a year. Labour’s problem is that they did not expect to win and way over promised. They have also put Winston Peter’s demands for more diplomats, foreign aid and tax breaks for race horses ahead of the needs in health, housing and education. My biggest disappointment of
Budget 2018 is the lack of a plan for keeping our economy strong. Spending is the easy part of a Budget. Creating new wealth requires more vision. Business confidence and investment has plummeted in response to uncertainty over immigration, foreign investment, industrial relations and energy policy. The challenge for National will be filling this vacuum and developing the strong economic plan for New Zealand’s future.

Students to join top brass Jonty Dine A pair of young local musicians have been invited to join one of the best brass bands in the country. Josh Mansbridge 15, from Nelson College and Natania Ngawhau 16, of Nayland College, were selected in the New Zealand Secondary Schools Brass Band last week. Natania has been selected as second trombone while Josh will be on tuba. The two were asked to submit an audition video of themselves playing a slow melody and a more technical piece. Josh opted to played ‘The Elephant’ and ‘All I Ask of You’ from the Phantom of the Opera. Natania performed Berceuse De Jocelyn and Souvenir Du Poitou. The pair say they are excited about the opportunity to jam with some of the most talented young musicians in the country. The band will assemble in Christchurch for a one-week camp in October followed by two concerts at The Piano. Josh says he is looking forward to getting the band together for a jam. “I’ve never actually met another tuba player my age.” He has been playing the tuba for two years, after a year playing the cornet.

'A cold sore almost killed my baby' Sara Hollyman Reporter
sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz
For any mother, the day their child starts school is a huge milestone, but for Nelson’s Bryony McCauley the day will mark something extra special. Tyla was an amazing second child, as a newborn he slept so much and didn’t make much of a fuss. “Everyone kept saying I had the perfect baby because he just wanted to sleep all the time,” Bryony says. “It was when he became hard to wake and slept through his bath that I knew something wasn’t right.” Tyla was just 12-days-old when he was rushed to Nelson Hospital with a weak heartbeat. He was turning blue – his body was shutting down and wasn’t getting enough oxygen. “I was in total shock. Seeing your baby like that, I just kept thinking; how did I not know something was so wrong?” Tyla’s veins had constricted due his low pulse so the doctors tried every possible entry point to administer an anti-biotic. “They ended up by having to drill into his leg to get any of the medication in. He was purple all over from all the needles.” Then doctors asked if the family had been in contact with anyone who had a cold sore. They had so they also gave Tyla the antiviral
Bryony McCauley has begun to look at potential schools for her nearly five-year-old son Tyla. Photo: Sara Hollyman Aciclovir. It was the decision that eventually saved his life. Tyla was put on a ventilator as he was no longer able to breath for himself, and he and his parents were transported to Wellington's NICU on the Lifeflight plane. “When we got to Wellington it was just chaos, there were monitors going off everywhere,” Bryony says. “Someone took us to a room and told us to rest while they tried to figure out what was going on with Tyla. “About 15 minutes later there was
a knock on the door and I just thought; ‘Oh my God, we’ve lost him’.” They needed a sample of Bryony’s blood to test for the herpes simplex virus. She didn’t have it. Later she would be told that 80 per cent of New Zealanders have the herpes simplex virus by the time they start school and that if she had the virus she could’ve passed on the antibodies to Tyla while she was pregnant. Tyla was diagnosed with Neonatal HSV-1 and Encephalitis. On their third morning in Wel-
lington, the virus had begun to attack Tyla’s brain and his liver was failing. “We were told that unless an absolute miracle happened, our baby boy had between two and five days to live. “I couldn’t be around him, I thought if I got any closer to him and loved him anymore, it would make it that much harder when we lost him, but my mum didn’t leave his side.” That same night the family received a call from the nurse. “She said you need to come over
here, your boy is performing a trick for you. We ran across the street and found him breathing for himself, they’d removed the ventilator.” Every day from then on he made slow progress, until four weeks after the ordeal began, they could bring Tyla back to Nelson. He still needed heavy doses of medication five times a day for six months and then lower doses for the next three years. But now, four years later, Tyla is a happy and mostly healthy boy. The trauma that his brain went through has left him with some development delays, but he receives speech therapy and teacher aide at kindergarten. The physiotherapy stopped last year. Even if new-borns survive this virus, the long-term effects are often severe - cerebral palsy, epilepsy, blindness, paraplegia to name a few. Bryony wants raise to awareness of what a simple cold sore can do to new-born babies. “We had no idea; my midwife didn’t even know. You don’t even have to have a visible cold sore, and you don’t have to kiss a baby, it can just be passed by skin contact. “Never go near a baby if you have recently had a cold sore.” As for the future, Bryony is excited about the possibilities. “Everything’s exciting, there’s not a day that goes by when I don’t look at him and see my miracle.”

The Bay Dreams music festival is coming to Nelson from its home in Tauranga in the new year. Photo: Bay Dreams
Huge music festival heading to Nelson Jonty Dine One of New Zealand's most popular summer music festivals is heading to Nelson. About 15,000 people are expected for the inaugural Bay Dreams in Nelson, the southern sister of Mt Maunganui's New Year festival. Trafalgar Park will host the first Nelson edition of Bay Dreams on January 4. The one-day festival features an array of genres from drum and bass to hip hop. The festival will span Trafalgar Park and over the bridge towards the Trafalgar Centre as well. In the three years since the festival's inception, Bay Dreams has attracted acts such as Pendulum, Peking Duk, Krafty Kuts, Sticky Fingers and DJ Snake, plus Kiwi favourites Kora, Shapeshifter and Katchafire. Nelson City Council community services group manager Roger Ball says the festival is a considerable coup for the city. "It’s very exciting to welcome a new event to our region, especially one like the Bay Dreams festival, which has developed a reputation as a successful, well-organised event in Mt Maunganui." Roger says the NCC is working with the event organiser to ensure that the same high standard will be repeated here. "It will be an added attraction for our summer visitors and locals alike and bring a new musical element to Nelson’s vibrant summer scene." The council encourages anyone coming from outside the region to be sure to book accommodation and travel early to avoid disappointment.

land and Warkworth, and enjoyed exploring nearby natural spaces. “It was when I came to university that I became more aware of the larger picture and the effects of pollution on the environment.” Her experience at Victoria University of Wellington has been a transformative personal journey. Grace learned about the bigger environmental picture and was inspired by the lecturers and their challenge to think critically and creatively. “I feel fortunate to be at Victoria, because all the lecturers are not only specialists in their fields, but they’re actually world-renowned for their work.” Grace had the opportunity to work at Nelson’s Cawthron Institute on a summer scholarship in the area of fresh water quality and marine invertebrates. Her ultimate career would combine research and community engagement, as she believes strongly in educating the next generation to love and protect the marine environment.

Leaning into glory Staff Reporter seven piece progressive-rock band The recliners from Nayland College took first place at this year’s Nelson smokefreerockquest at the Theatre royal on Friday night. Vocalist Harry stocker says the band in its current line-up has several veterans of smokefreerockquest. "We felt fairly confident at the start of tonight, but everyone else was really, really good,” he said. "We possibly stood out with our four-part vocal harmonies and the two guitars also harmonizing over each other.” Harry had the crowd with him for the band’s first song ‘Coming Home’, which he says is about returning to New Zealand after living in Egypt where his parents were teaching. The rest of the line up is Isaac stewart (bass), Tino Monopoli (drums), Ben Kirby (keyboard), Ben Dowdle (vocals), reese Milton (guitar) and Luke Wilkes (guitar). second place in the band category went to Waimea College hard rock band 'Blind Eye', with members Jack rollinson (guitar), Jake Lyth (drums), rebecca Findlay (bass) Oscar Pahl (guitar) and Bailey Bartholomew Katene (vocals). Blind Eye also won the ZM People’s Choice voted by text on the night. These two acts win musical gear from associate sponsors NZ rockshops, and join solo-duo winners, Brooklyn scott from Garin College (first) and Chloe Vitale from Marlborough Girls’
College (second) in the opportunity to gain selection for the national final in september. smokefreerockquest founder and director Glenn Common says there are more bands than ever before reaching the high standard required from national finalists. "This means that real dedication is required to achieve the ‘stand out quality’ that the judges will be looking for,” he said. "They have to capture 15 minutes of their original material on video for selection as national finalists. "It’s a process that demands creativity and musical ability, being able to work together as a group and having good organisational skills. What separates them out is perseverance – industry success seldom happens overnight.” And Common encouraged those who didn’t make it through to stick with their music. "some bands and soloists will no doubt go on to success in the Kiwi music industry like sFrQ alumnae Kimbra, Marlon Williams and shapeshifter, but for most of the young musicians sFrQ is about the experience of performing live on stage in a professional set up, meeting others who share their passion for music, and getting constructive and impartial feedback from more experienced musicians who are our judges and mentors.” The full list of awards for Nelson is: Band 1: The recliners, Nayland
College Band 2: Blind Eye, Waimea College Band 3: Equinox, Nelson College for Girls solo/Duo 1: Brooklyn scott, Garin College solo/Duo 2: Chloe Vitale, Marlborough Girls’ College smokefree Tangata Beats Award: Odd socks, Nelson College for Girls ZM People’s Choice: Blind Eye, Waimea College smokefree Best Vocals: Ngawai Tia from solasta, Nelson College For Girls MAINZ Musicianship: Eva Fowler (guitar) Verbatim, Waimea College Best song: Acoustic Knot, Waimea College Fatboy style Award: scarface and the Codfish, Nelson College & Waimea College APrA Lyric Writers’ Award: Theo Feint, Golden Bay High school for ‘Heartbeat’ The Nelson Youth Council crowd engagement award: scarface and the Codfish, Nelson College & Waimea College The top regional bands and solo/duos submit footage for selection as finalists to play off at the smokefreerockquest national final on saturday september 22 at the Dorothy Winstone Centre in Auckland, preceded by the smokefree Tangata Beats national final on Friday september 21.

Nelson City Council has agreed to allocate $5 million to the Waimea Dam project, in year three of its 2018-28 Long Term Plan. This grant is conditional on agreement by Tasman District Council for the continuation of Nelson’s ongoing rights to access 22,000m3/day of water from the Waimea Aquifer and the opportunity for the grant to be transferred to a shareholding in the dam company. Water supply to Nelson residents and businesses in the Saxton area is currently supplied by Tasman District Council. The remainder of the city is supplied from the Nelson water treatment plant. The council was satisfied by modelling work, that modifications could be made to the Nelson water supply system to develop a wholly independent supply for Nelson. This would meet water demands for the foreseeable future. However, the council saw value in there being a reliable alternative supply of water for resilience purposes in the event of damage to its infrastructure from natural hazards, or from impacts from climate change.
Strong evidence of the economic benefit to the city and wider Nelson-Tasman region was also considered important. Nelson Regional Development Agency chief executive Mark Rawson has highlighted the cross-sector impacts. "Currently there are 21 other industries in the region that are directly impacted by the horticultural sector. This project will have a significant positive economic impact on these sectors including the port, manufacturing, and transport, as well as providing improved employment opportunities for the region as a whole." Mayor Rachel Reese has outlined how this project will benefit Nelsonians. "We understand that water security is a major issue for our region’s primary producers, and the related industries, many of which operate or are supported by businesses here in Nelson City," she said. "A secure water supply allows for certainty of investment and greater opportunity for increased productivity. This is an integrated project, what happens on the Waimea Plains has a direct impact on Nelson City. "As we grow as a region, security of water supply will benefit us all."
King Salmon requests money for clean-up Alica Brunke

New Zealand King Salmon is asking for over $100,000 from taxpayers to find a solution for thousands of tonnes of dead fish and faeces. In their submission to the Ministry for the Environment, the Nelson-based company says it is not an "appropriate solution” for the one thousand tonnes of captive fish mortalities – mostly due to warm water temperatures in the Marlborough Sounds – to continue to be dumped in Blenheim’s Bluegums landfill each year. Additionally, King Salmon says 2000 tonnes of fish faeces that it is removing from the seabed floor may not be accepted at landfill due to the sheer amount and odour issues, which poses "significant risk” to the company. King Salmon are requesting $116,000 from the Waste Minimisation Fund – added to $175,000 from the company – for them to research and trial composting the dead fish to then sell as a "positive green product”. Chief executive Grant Rosewarne told RNZ that King Salmon could fund the

RNZ reported that King Salmon are working on a plan with the new government to relocate their farms to cooler, deeper waters to reduce fish mortality, create more green jobs, and grow their business to be able to afford more sustainable tools such as waste-capture technology. Alec McNeil, solid waste manager at Marlborough District Council, says the industry is trying to reduce their reliance on landfill.

Get Indigo to the Globe Charles Anderson
The words of a five-hundred-year-old playwright are still as relevant as ever, according to an 18-year-old soon to set off in the footsteps of the Bard. Indigo Levett was the only local student to be selected for this year's Young Shakespeare company, which sees 23 other young people from around New Zealand head to The Globe in London to learn from the best in the business. “I’m hoping to learn a lot,” Indigo says. “I think when you are with 23 other people who are all really passionate and driven, you have to push yourself out of your comfort zone. It’s really exciting.” She says that the trip will be a dream she has had since she was in Year 9. “A lot of people from Nelson have gone, about one every year. I’m hoping to continue that legacy.”
Indigo Levett is passionate about Shakespeare and will soon join 23 others in London to study the Bard. Photo: Charles Anderson
Indigo says, far from being dusty and out of date, Shakespeare still has a lot to say for younger generations. “His work is all meaningful for now. He unveils simple human truths about the human condition that is all still relevant today especially to young people - especially when you put it in a form that understandable and its accessible to them.” To help fund the trip, Indigo is holding a variety show this Friday at Ghost Light Theatre where she and her friends will treat audiences to a plethora of performances. “There will be music, poetry and, of course, Shakespeare.” She also has a Givealittle page “Get Indi to the Globe” to help her on the journey.

Rams stun Giants Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
The Mike Pero Nelson Giants suffered their second loss of the season on Saturday, going down to southern neighbours, the Canterbury Rams, 104-90. The hosts were hoping to continue their strong start to the National Basketball League season, having won three of their first four games, their sole loss coming in a thriller against table-toppers Hawke's Bay in Napier last weekend. A record crowd of 1670 packed the Trafalgar Centre for the Giants third home game against the fourth-placed Rams. There was plenty of support for the Rams as their American trio of Winston Shepard, Xavier Thames and Julian Washburn made their presence felt, Washburn opening the scoring for Canterbury. Kyle Adnam responded for the hosts with a copybook lay-up but it was the Rams well on top in the opening exchanges. The Giants simply couldn’t get their shots to drop as the visitors raced out to an eight-point lead.
A slam dunk by Jerry Evans Jnr followed by a lay-up by captain Sam Dempster to bring them within one point seemed to awaken the sleeping Giants. Tom Ingham then nailed a three with ten seconds on the clock which saw the crowd erupt and sides all square after the first quarter 23-23. The Giants found their swagger and controlled the majority of the second with some ambitious attack. Tony Tolovae injected some energy from the bench for the Rams, helping stage a comeback and bring the scores once again square with less than a minute remaining. However, Heuir ensured the Giants went into the break ahead 46-43 with a thrilling three at the death. Adnam and Delaney led the point scoring for Nelson at the break with 10 apiece, Adnam also with four assists. Both sides began shooting sloppily, the Rams eventually regaining the lead midway through the third. Several lead changes closed out the quarter before the Rams edged ahead 71-64 after 30 minutes of pulsating basketball. The Rams began to bully the

Giants attack under the net, increasing their advantage to 10 early in the fourth. Consecutive Delaney, Jerry Evans Jnr and Smith-Milner dunks brought the Giants within six and a glimmer of hope for the large home crowd. However, the Rams would not relent, Washburn cracking the century with two free throws as they put themselves out of reach. Thames took his tally to 24 as the Rams inflicted the Giants' second loss of the season 10490. Evans Jnr top scored with 21 points for the Giants with Adnam registering 20. Giants captain Sam Dempster says there is little time to dwell on the loss with a quick turnaround against the Manawatu Jets in Palmerston North on Sunday. "A lot of things that let us down tonight came down to effort, which is disappointing, but we will refocus and do battle again against Manawatu." The Giants bounced back from their first home loss, defeating the Jets 87-85 on Sunday night to get them back in the top four.

A quartet of Tasman Mako were included in the All Black squad announcement on Sunday morning for the three-test series against France next month. Highlanders and Marist loose forward Shannon Frizell was a surprise bolter, joining fellow Mako Jordan Taufua as debutants in the 33-man squad which also includes Liam Squire and Tim Perry. Shannon exploded onto the national radar this season with his hat-trick against the Blues at Eden Park last month.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen says Shannon’s style is similar to that of current Japanese head coach Jamie Joseph and the late Jerry Collins. “He's very energetic and he wants to be in your grill in a positive way with his intentions when he's tackling and cleaning.” Hansen says the loss of veteran Jerome Kaino left the All Blacks needing a flanker to provide positive intent when he carried, cleared rucks and tackled. “We have to take our time developing him and see where we get to." Standing tall at 195cm, the 24-year-old Tongan-born loose forward moved to Nelson after signing a development contract with the Tasman Rugby Union in 2015. He represented New Zealand Marist at U19 level, and the Tasman sevens team. Shannon’s selection brings the number of current All Blacks hailing from Marist to three. Marist prop Kane Hames was not considered due to injury. Club chairman Robert Evans says it is quite an extraordinary feat for any club, let alone from one of the smaller rugby regions in New Zealand, to have three current All Blacks. “The Mako as its premium brand really punches well above its weight on the national stage and confirms to young men and women that you do not need to leave town to make the big time.” Roberts says this will give a lot of inspiration to the teenagers in the region. “I liken Shannon’s selection to that of the great All Black winger John Kirwan in the early 80s, a virtually unknown club player one year to All Black status the next.” Marist captain Tyler Mckinnon-Stevenson says they knew they had someone special when Shannon first arrived at Marist in 2016. “We knew he had the talent, not just his hard work ethic, ability to break the line and create go forward for us to put points on the board but also off the field as a person, he is a great role model.” Jordan made his Mako debut back in 2012. All Black selector Grant Fox said he had proved time and again "he's big enough and powerful enough, his only shortcomings being around his effectiveness in the lineout. "It changes the balance a little bit, but we can work around that. No one is perfect and at times we've got to remind ourselves we're selecting them because they do a number of other things very well, and we can work on the things they don't." Born in Auckland, 26-year-old Taufua made his debut for Tasman in 2012 on loan from Canterbury, before rejoining Canterbury for their ITM Cup Premiership success in 2013. He then moved back north for the 2014 season with Counties Manukau, starting every game in his first season with the Pukekohe side, before returning to Tasman for the 2017 season. Tasman Rugby Union CEO Tony Lewis says the selection of four Mako players, including prop Tim Perry, is fantastic news for the region. Tony says Jordan’s selection is reward for being week in week out one of the best players in the country. “He never gives you a bad performance and is a leader in everything he does.” Tony says Shannon just has that x-factor that the All Blacks covet. “He’s a big human being and he’s fast, powerful, can pass and run.” The All Blacks kick off their 2018 campaign against the French at Eden Park on June 9.

SporTS BasketBall - Nelson basketball stalwart Claire Dallison has been recognised for her notable contribution to men’s basketball in New Zealand. Claire won the Murray McMahon Award at the New Zealand Basketball Awards on Saturday night. Claire was an integral part of the Tall Blacks from 2007 through to 2014 as strength and conditioning coach, and team manager. She sacrificed time at home with her family to travel with the Tall Blacks on overseas tours, often being away for 10 weeks at a time. Today, Claire is still involved in basketball as a strong supporter of the New Zealand Breakers. FootBall - They made hard work of it, but Nelson Suburbs struck late to escape with the points at Saxton on Saturday. Round 11 of the Mainland Premier League saw the fourth-placed Suburbs take on Selwyn United sitting second from bottom on the table. Fresh off a comfortable victory in the opening round of the Chatham Cup, Nelson Suburbs struck in the opening and closing minutes of the contest to remain on track for the play-offs. Ryan Stewart opened the scoring after only two minutes with a pin-point header to score his eighth goal of the season. After half a dozen shots at goal by Suburbs, the equaliser came for the visitors when skipper Daniel Ede found himself in space and guided one past Brett Yates. The crowd’s frustrations grew as did the number of chances Suburbs had to score their second. With a draw looking inevitable, Suburbs finally found the back of the net with just minutes remaining. Player coach Ben Wright headed in a precision cross from Jordan Yong as the crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief. Suburbs travel to Christchurch next weekend to take on the top placed Cashmere Technical before returning to Saxton to play Coastal Spirit on June 2.

Brockie meets Messi Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Local All Whites striker Jeremy Brockie has been rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest sporting names in the world. Playing for his South African club Mamelodi Sundowns, the former Nayland College student recently came up against European glamour club FC Barcelona, a side boasting superstars Luis Suárez, Andrés Iniesta and the worlds best footballer, Lionel Messi. Jeremy says the Argentine wizard entered the match with 15 minutes remaining but was still able to display his full array of skills. “Even in the short amount of time, he wowed everyone with some of his touches and passes.” The Sundowns went on to lose the match 3-1, at FNB stadium in Johannesburg, Ousmane Dembele, Luis Suarez and Andre Gomes getting on the scoresheet for Barcelona. Despite the loss, Jeremy says it will be a match he will never forget. “To play against one of the world’s biggest teams and share the pitch with one of the best players in the history of the game was just incredible.” Jeremy says Messi seemed like a great person and was more than happy to take a few pictures with the players.

Photo: Supplied. “As you could imagine, Messi was a very wanted man after the game so was hard to get near him, but straight after the final whistle, the Barcelona Twitter account took a short video of me with him, so that was pretty awesome.” Meeting ‘the messiah’ caps off a memorable period in the All White’s life. “The past six months has been crazy since I arrived at the club, I won my first league title in my professional career and got to play against Barcelona.” If that wasn’t enough, Jeremy also got to meet the fastest man on the planet,
Usain Bolt. “To have him join us in a training session was surreal, He was just as you’d imagine when you see him on TV, very confident and he just had that aura about him.” Jeremy says he has had some great experiences in his career, “but these would definitely be up there.” Jeremy has managed to swap shirts with some of the world’s best players. “Xavi, Henry, De Rossi and the list goes on but to say I’ve met the fastest man on the planet and arguably the best footballer of all time, it really tops it all off.”

Stoke to meet Marist in final Jonty Dine The Nelson sub-union finalists have been found after two major upsets in the NPD Tasman Trophy on Saturday. Stoke will meet Marist in the final on June 4 after they beat the competition favourites in a thrilling encounter at Neale Park. Nelson were looking to reassert their dominance in the competition, after a couple of uninspiring performances over the last fortnight, meanwhile Stoke were coming off a heavy loss to Marist. Referee Mike Lash was officiating his 50th fixture as the two teams trudged out onto a sodden pitch. Nelson had two early opportunities to strike first but were clearly feeling the pressure of finals footy, making sloppy and uncharacteristic mistakes. In contrast, the visitors looked sharp in the opening exchanges. Stoke fullback Sam Chamberlain and winger Tomas Aoke formed a lethal combination out wide, helping open the scoring with a break out from inside their 22. Rupena Parkinson split the Nelson defence open, setting up Aoke, who called on his league experience with an acrobatic dive in the left-hand corner. He would cross for his second
soon after, a huge bust by lock Isei Lewaqai setting the former age-grade Warrior away. Nelson’s forward pack then made their own statement, marching Stoke back 20 metres with a beautifully constructed lineout drive, but in what would be the story of the day for the hosts, they spilt the pill just as they were looking dangerous. Handling errors were killing the hosts as they went into half-time trailing 10-0. Jack Grooby extended the lead to 13 shortly after the break as Stoke continued to nullify the attacking threats of Willy Havili and Chris Kerslake with their swarming defence. Nelson slowly began to string phases together, hammering away at the Stoke line. Stokes defence was relentless but after repeated infringements Lash gave a warning to Chamberlain’s men. From a quick tap Nelson finally crossed the chalk through their impressive young prop Kershawl Sykes-Martin. Havili added the extras to bring Nelson within a converted try with 15 remaining. The try seemed to finally click Nelson into gear, a break by number 8 Isiah Miller from the restart

Stoke winger Chris Little was then sent to the bin after he was unable to control an intercept attempt. Down to 14 men, Stoke continued to tackle themselves into the ground until Nelson again coughed up the ball inside Stoke territory. Chamberlain broke out from the turnover before he handed it off to prop Blair Prinsep who thundered down the touchline, sprinting 40 metres to seal a stunning 18-7 upset. Captain Chamberlain says the win has been a long time coming for his side. "We have worked bloody hard and things haven’t quite clicked this year, but we had a lot of be-
lief in our coaches and faith in the process, so this is reward for a lot of hard work.” Chamberlain says his side's defence pleased him the most. "Our forwards have been unreal in the last few weeks and really set the platform. "We talked at the start of the season about how defence wins championships and I’m incredibly proud with the way the boys stood up today.” He says they are looking forward to a tough showdown against Marist next month. The green machine booked their berth in the final after upsetting Waimea Old Boys at Jubilee Park. In a high scoring affair, Marist beat the favoured Waimea outfit 44-24.
Marist captain Tyler MckinnonStevenson says his side made a slow start in the semi. “We let ourselves down in the first half with accuracy, botching up some opportunities.” However, Tyler says in the second half, they “took it up a notch.” “Our fitness and size kept them on the back foot and forced them to make mistakes and we took advantage of that.” Renwick and Waitohi will meet in the final of the Marlborough subunion rugby competition. The top qualifiers defeated East Coast 25-7 at Lansdowne Park while Waitohi had a 26-17 win over Moutere. The finals are scheduled for Queen’s Birthday Weekend Monday, June 4.

Fishing down south If you are keen on your diving and fishing Fiordland should be one of those places to have on your bucket list. The fishing can be phenomenal if the weather lets you stick your nose out the front. Here you can target large terakihi, blue cod, groper, blue nose, blue fin tuna and more. Unfortunately the weather can limit your activities in Fiordland but despite this it is easy to find shelter inside the sounds. The inner sounds provide a large area of incredible dive sites in most conditions. Because it rains so much, all the sediments from land have been washed away a long time ago, this leaves you with clear water and good visibility. Cray fish can be prolific in

many parts and the underwater scenery is like nothing you will find anywhere else in NZ. Black corals for example can be found on most dives in less than 15m deep which is unique to Fiordland. Anywhere else they are found in several hundred meters of depth. Milford and Doubtful Sound can be accessed with private trailer boats. Most of the other sounds are limited to larger charted boats and helicopter access. Personally, Dusky Sound is my favourite as it offers beautiful scenery and some of the best diving. To find out more you can get in touch with a local fishing or diving club like the dawnbreak ers.co.nz and talk to one of their members.

Taine in top form Jonty Dine
At only 17-years-old, Taine Robinson can’t legally drink a beer with his teammates. However, the Marist flyhalf is playing well beyond his years in the Tasman Trophy. Making his debut season in premier, Taine says he is relishing the physicality of the top grade. “I’m loving it, I’ve got so many good players around me,” says Taine. Marist have had a luckless start to the season, before stunning the competition by defeating Waimea Old Boys on Saturday to make the sub-union final. Taine says he is really proud of the boys effort in the second half after letting in a couple frustrating tries. "We starting playing to our strengths and were rewarded with points. We never gave up and it just feels pretty special to

" Taine says the side learnt from their mistakes after a couple losses early in the season and the team really started molding together and playing some great rugby. "Now we have been rewarded with a home final." Taine says he is confident they will be a threat in the business end of the Tasman Trophy.

Groundbait is small chunks of any fish, usually pilchards and you can use old pillies which have been refrozen and are too soft for using as bait. Just cut them up and throw handfuls out in a spread, covering both sides of the boat. Do this regularly and it will help bring the snapper on the bite.

“We took a while to gel but now we are starting to look pretty sharp.” Taine ranks the win over Waimea as one of his career highlights. Other notable memories include travelling to England for a sevens tournament in 2017 with Nelson College. Taine attended Collingwood High School before transferring in fifth form to be part of the Moascar Cup winning 1st XV. The C Moore Building apprentice says he hopes to crack the U19 Mako squad later this year. While he has dabbled in half and full- back, Taine, who has been playing rugby since he could walk, considers himself a specialist first five. He says he models his game after Dan Carter and Beauden Barrett and hopes to one day wear the same jersey as his idols.

Out Of Zone Enrolment Applications The Clifton Terrace School Board of Trustees invites applications from parents who wish to enrol their sons and daughters for 2018/19 who live outside the enrolment zone. Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available on the school website www.cliftontce.school.nz. Families who wish to apply should do so in writing addressed to Rob Wemyss stating the child’s full name, date of birth and current address. The deadline for receipt of applications for out-of-zone places is Wed 30 May. Parents of students who live within the home zone should also apply by this date to assist the school to plan appropriately for next year. The board has determined that 20 places are likely to be available for out-of- zone students next year. Preference will be given to those in the Year 1- 3 age group (those born 2010 - 2014). The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone. If the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. If a ballot is required it will be held on Fri 8 June.
