The voting forms are in the post… now it’s up to voters to

Have your say Councils are big business – and communities determine how they are run. Te Awamutu News today backs a call to voters to use their vote.

How to do it: 1 Follow the instructions on your voting document.

2 Put your voting document in the orange return envelope 3 Seal the orange envelope and post or deliver.

Thousands of voting forms are being mailed out throughout the country from today.

Local body elections traditionally attract an at-best modest level of interest from the electorate – but Waipa District Council chief executive Gary Dyet says it just doesn’t make sense not to be involved in the running of one the the region’s biggests businesses.

“If you love living in Waipā, a lot of that has to do with what council is doing, and that’s why it’s important you vote in October,” he says.

He says now is the time to start thinking about the key issues and which candidate for Council can best represent the needs of Waipā.

“The local government elections are a one-in-threeyear opportunity to have your say and I cannot stress enough how important it is that you vote,” Dyet says.

“Council makes decisions that impact your daily life more that you realise. Unlike national elections, local government focuses on the services we all use multiple times a day. Water supply, recycling, waste, roads, footpaths, cycleways, pools, parks, libraries, playgrounds, reserves, museums, and other amenities and services - they are the things that make our towns vibrant and position Waipa as one of the best places in New Zealand to live.”

He said we are lucky to live in a democracy where we have the freedom to choose the people who make the decisions about their local areas.

“We need competent business and community-minded

Gary Dyet is urging voters to complete their forms and get them in the post.

BOOK GIVEAWAY First Map: How James Cook Chartered Aotearoa New Zealand

by TESSA DUDER

By Savannah Patterson

Tessa Duder’s new book, First Map: How James Cook Chartered Aotearoa New Zealand, will be available to purchase during a book signing and meet-and-greet with the author herself on Tuesday, September 24 at Paper Plus Te Awamutu, 12:30pm – 1:30pm.

Duder said she had long been fascinated by James Cook’s iconic NZ chart and the challenges he overcame to create it. She described the book as the human story behind Cook’s famous journey, following the progress of his six-month circumnavigation of New Zealand over the summer of 1769-1770.

“The focus was to be on how the famous chart was created during those six months, and at

what cost to him, his crew and ship,” she said.

“It’s a story of courage, dogged perseverance and Cook’s extraordinary skills as both cartographer and seafarer.”

The Harper Collins published book will be available to purchase for $49.99.

We have two free copies of the book to give away – just send your full name and contact number, along with the subject line “First Map” to savannah@goodlocal.nz no later than 12pm, Monday September 23.

Garden Festival ticket sales The cut-off date for discounted tickets to the 2019 Rotary Cambridge Garden Festival on November 24 is looming. September 30 is the last day on which punters can purchase their Early Bird specials.

The discounted rate translates to a good saving, said Festival project leader and Rotarian Carey Church. Early Bird tickets are $30 per person. After then, the price remains at $30 for seniors, but rises to $40 for adults under the age of 65. Tickets for teenagers between 16 and 18 are $10 each and are available only online.

Carey said a total of 1350 tickets went on sale on August 16.

“Sales have been going well,” she said.

“In the first three and a half weeks, we sold 300 tickets, which is pretty much on a par with last year.”

The festival launched last year as Rotary Cambridge’s primary fundraiser. Last November’s event raised more than $30,000 for three charities and attracted more than 1000 visitors to 10 gardens.

This year’s festival will feature 11 gardens, two of them favourites from last year and seven new gardens. Two ‘Art in the Garden’ sites will showcase the work of popular local artists Carole Hughes and Dot and Barry Harding.

Also new this year is an online newsletter and blog which went up on the event website from August 23 and will run until the festival in November. Each one profiles one of the gardens being featured in the festival, and one of the sponsors supporting the event.

More information and tickets - as well as maps providing information on each of the featured gardens - are available from Amber Garden Centre, Cambridge Jewellers, and online at www.cgf.nz.

On the beat

The time to dial 111

This week given the time of year I thought I might take the opportunity to do a little housecleaning.

There are a couple of things I would like to discuss. The first is the absolute necessity to call 111 in an emergency.

Last week I was at the station completing some dreaded paperwork when I was alerted by the front counter staff that burglars had been disturbed at an address in Te Awamutu.

Unfortunately, the victim neglected to ring 111 and instead came to the station to report the matter. Because of the time delay we lost a very good chance of arresting a burglar while still at the scene.

Get the best Rugby World Cup experience

Calling Police when an incident is happening gives us the best chance of catching the offender and prevents them from committing further offences. I cannot stress this enough: if something doesn’t look right, it probably isn’t.

The Government’s firearm buyback scheme is in full swing and there are still collection dates in the Waikato for those of you who haven’t taken part.

The collection points and dates are: Today, Waitete Rugby Club, Waitete Road, Te Kuiti 10am - 3pm; September 25, Te Awamutu Racetrack, Racecourse Road, Te Awamutu 11am - 3pm; September 27, Tairua Rugby

and Sports Club, Corner Tokoroa and Manaia roads, Tairua 10am - 3pm and September 28, Huntly Thistle Association Ryan Fleming Football Club rooms, Park Avenue, Huntly, 10am-3pm.

So far 21,854 firearms and 80,833 firearm parts have been handed in.

Vietnam: remembering that war

By Viv Posselt

Te Awamutu’ David Bowler will revisit some of his darker memories as a Vietnam veteran when he talks to the public before next week’s screening of Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan. The former New Zealand army man who

owns and runs Te Awamutu Copy Centre, did a tour of duty in Vietnam in 1971, several years after the 1966 battle on which the movie is centred. He was invited by Regent Theatre owner Allan Webb to give a talk and answer questions from the public before both evening screenings next Wednesday.

Former army man David Bowler, who ran a deer farm outside Cambridge before moving to Te Awamutu, will talk about Vietnam before Wednesday evening’s screenings of Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan. He is holding up a map of the area of the battle, close to where he was deployed five years later.

circuit since September 5.

Webb described his own response to it as “disturbing” and said after talking to Bowler about its contents, decided to ask him to speak to audiences in the context of his own experiences.

“I was disturbed watching it. I was disturbed when I read the information at the end; I was disturbed afterwards and still am.

David told me things that weren’t in the film, and I found it very interesting,” he said. “It took the Australian government 40 years to recognise what happened … the kids were so young.”

The battle of Long Tan is described as ‘one of the most savage and decisive engagements in Australasian military history’. It was said to be Australia’s most famous and fiercely-fought battles during the Vietnam War, with 108 inexperienced Australian and New Zealand soldiers holding off an estimated 2500 battle-hardened Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers.

The battle raged during the late afternoon of August 18, 1966. It took place in a rubber plantation in South Vietnam’s Phuoc Tuy province, where 105 Australians from D Company of 6 RAR, supported by three New Zealanders from 161 Battery, were patrolling.

Just three and a half hours later, 18 Australians and at least 250 of the enemy lay dead

elected members who have the unique ability to balance fulfilling the key issues affecting communities with the complexities of local government.”

With voting papers due to hit mailboxes over the next five says, Council is expecting candidates will start to be more active in the community and will make themselves known.

Many have been getting around neighbourhoods to chat with residents about their policy positions, and have been posting on their social media accounts.

Their views on issues have been featured prominently in successive editions of the Te Awamutu News since nominations were announced – and today their comments on another issue appear on pages 5 and 6.

Grey Power held a Waipā candidate debates in Te Awamutu last night and will stage another in Cambridge at 1pm on Sunday at the St Andrews Anglican Church Hall.

“Start having conversations to your family members, colleagues and neighbours about the upcoming local body elections and do your due diligence by looking into the backgrounds and policies of each candidate. It’s important to make sure you vote, and it counts,” Dyet said.

Council has an operating cost of $86.7 million, capital expenditure of $127.7 million and em-

ploys 300 staff, making it one of the largest and most complex businesses in the Waipā district.

Part of the risk management framework is managing over $1.7 billion in assets while striving to keep rates as low as possible.

In the Ōtorohanga District operating costs at $17.2 million, capital expenditure $6.8 million, the council has a staff of 50 and asset of more than $300 million.

Dyet says Infrastructure is his Council’s highest expenditure with district-wide renewals programmes for the road and three-waters networks.

“It’s not the most attractive item on Council’s agenda, but infrastructure certainly is the most important. It’s vital to running a healthy, sustainable and economically-viable district and we meet these increasing costs through rates and development contributions to ensure growth pays for growth.”

These higher associated infrastructure costs are a key consideration for future Council decisions, in order to meet more stringent environmental and health and safety standards.

Councillors will also input on community facilities such as Te Ara Wai, part of the wider Te Awamutu Hub, and one of the key upcoming stakeholder-led projects for Council.

Both Otorohanga and Waipa District Councils have profile of candidates on their websites.

Celebrating life - your way

Waipā baristas Phil Mackay and Taryn Kirkbride finished first and second in the Latte Art section of the Columbus Championships in Auckland.

MacKay, manager and head barista at Columbus Mitre 10 Mega Te Awamutu took the honours by the slimmest of margins – the judges had him 9-8 ahead of Kirkbride from Columbus Cambridge.

The two went head to head with three pours – Mackay’s heart put him ahead, Kirkbride outdid him on the rosetta, and McKay responded by clinching the title with his tulip.

Event organiser and head barista trainer Gavin Carroll said the competition was the closest seen in the Latte Art section since the competition began. He says the judges debated intensely, getting down to the finest details to reach a decision “Both baristas presented almost faultless pours with a seamless marriage of silky textured milk and rich golden crema.”

Mackay has been in the industry and making coffee for about 15 years.

“It’s always good to get involved and support events like this and spend time with other baristas, he said. “It was a lot of fun and really cool to get something

out of it.

And the secret to a good coffee pour?

“Lots and lots and lots of practice to get it right!”

– some estimates put the number of enemy killed at double that.

David Bowler did 20 years with the New Zealand Army and is a member of the Te Awamutu RSA. He said some of his military friends had seen the film and had voiced their thoughts on social media.

“They picked little holes in it here and there, but the general impression was that it is a realistic account of what had happened,” he said.

Bowler joined the army in 1967, the year after Long Tan. He was posted to 161 Battery in Vietnam at the beginning of 1971, a 2nd lieutenant who was gun position officer for the command post.

“We had one major contact when I was there … it’s not something I talk about much.

But I do remember that whenever we passed a village, fires were lit in the rice paddies to alert the troops in the hills.”

He will try and ‘set the scene’ for the movie when he speaks to the audience next week.

“In reality, the battle was relatively short, only about twice as long as the film. But this is a story that has to be told.”

Bowler will be at the Regent Theatre, Te Awamutu, on Wednesday to talk to audiences attending screenings of Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan at 5.10pm and 7.50pm.

Elections

Is it time to put a line over Waipā?

The debate over macrons has challenged corporate and public business.

The South Waikato District Council was a trail blazer in 2006 when it announced it would add macrons where appro-

LTON I M A H T E N A MUSIC PL

priate to street signs.

It moved after the Raukawa Maori Trust Board submitted a list of 23 street names spelt incorrectly.

At the same time most New Zealand newspapers ignored both the macron and the double vowel which Tainui began using widely and can been seen frequently today in street names.

But times are changing and macrons and double vowels are becoming increasingly common.

The Ōtorohanga District Council took the plunge just last month, drawing applause from members of Ngāti Maniapoto who were present to see a unanimous decision in favour of adding the macron to the district name.

We asked candidates in the current local body election campaign for their views on macrons and whether or not Waipa should follow suit.

Here’s what they said…

Marcus Gower I have always brought up the use of macrons in Council documents and sites. It’s really great to see that we now have a consistent approach to their correct use.

I fully support using the macron in Waipa for Council’s name, if our Iwi Consultative Committee thinks it’s a good idea.

Use this voucher for a $50 credit towards purchases over $299 at Music Planet The Base Hamilton Ph: 07 260-0135 hamilton@musicplanet.co.nz

Steve Grounds Yes, I feel it should as this reflects the correct spelling and is respectful of the culture to do so. However, I would support a planned, gradual transition in light of the financial costs associated of making this change across council signs, in council publications (etc.)

Michael Emery Waipā District Council should absolutely add a macron to its official title. I do not consider that a change of name, but rather the long-overdue correction of an inherited spelling mistake. Some council publications already feature the correct spelling of Waipā, so we are off to a great start. Let’s be consistent.

Bernie Fynn I don’t really see the point, everyone will continue to pronounce the word how they feel. What bothers me, as someone raised in Cambridge from 1950, is using an extra “O” in Lake Te Koutu.I do not like change for change sake, especially if the changers are new to town.

Andrew Brown Yes Lou Brown I do not agree with the use of macrons. The cost of replacing letterheads and signs is not justified and people will still continue to pronounce Waipa as they always have, correctly or not!

Kane Titchener I would support this move although I would like to see wide consultation.

Dennis Pennefather My answer is no. My reasoning being, as one who has spoken te reo for a number of years, although I am far from

fluent...I do so out of respect for the language and the fact that several marae on the East Coast are my marae because I have family ‘bones’ on both my Maori and Pakeha sides buried in the attached urupa. Even the simple adding of a macron will involve a re-branding and costs to the ratepayer purse which are not justified

Elise Badger I believe the move to accurately using Te Reo Māori in all council communication is essential. It is worth considering whether the tohutō or macron is accurate for our region; my

very limited (but actively growing) understanding of Te Reo Māori is that Waikato/ Tainui Te Reo doesn’t use the tohutō so expert engagement on the topic is crucial. The cost of implementing a change of name is of course a consideration, but I believe a change will be a positive one for Waipā.

Alana MacKay Yes, as long as it is done in consultation with local Māori to ensure accuracy, I would support the use of tohutō in the name of Waipā District Council.

I believe that respect for Māori language is important, and small changes like this can help us get better at pronouncing and spelling te reo correctly.

In terms of the costs associated with implementing this, the council’s online presence would be the obvious place to start, and I would suggest a gradual change of signage and printed media as these things are updated rather than scrapping existing collateral.

Bernard Westerbaan There are more urgent questions to be asked, like available resources vs growth. Do a survey in the local papers to find out what residents think. What would the cost be to businesses to change their business name to add a macron? Has a costing been done? Will it become compulsory? Cost for ratepayers?

Answers are needed.

Don Sanders Although I have no strong feelings one way or the other, the council has much bigger issues at present. Updating every instance of our official name would cost tens or possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars and would serve as nothing more than an empty gesture. The Council needs to provide its core business of roads, water, rubbish etc.

Once all these things adequate, we can look to updating signs etc. Cambridge and its people have real needs at the moment, and money must be spent wisely. All council money is your money.

Jo Davies-Colley Yes! Waipa is a Maori place name and therefore should be written in a way that reflects its Maori origin and shows people how to pronounce it correctly.

Dennis Finn I support the use of macrons if to do so is linguistically correct and aids correct pronunciation. Personally, I don’t see this as a governance matter. I see this as a management issue in that it is important that our name or any other word is pronounced correctly.

Poto Davies My personal preference would be Waipaa.

Macrons are used to indicate that the kupu (word) has a longer vowel sound. It does assist people who are learning te reo. The alternative is to use a double vowel i.e. whaanau or whānau.

Most iwi or hapū have a preference about what to use.

James Parlane Yes, after a referendum that supports it, otherwise no.

Liz Stolwyk If the use of a macron is considered by local iwi appropriate and the community at large would like to include this in the future

then yes, we should be using the macron in the future.

Waipa is our home and is steeped with a deep and very rich history, one of the reasons why our community is progressing the Te Ara Wai Discovery centre in our district. The ‘path of memories’ to be awake to our past and to have our eyes open to the future is the theme of the centre – very appropriate then we start to learn of our stories of yesteryear and acknowledge them.

Greg Keyte No. If the Waipaa district is going to go through with the expense of hanging the name it should be spelt correctly. The Waipaa rohe is in within the Tainui rohe and Tainui use the double vowel. The macron is a relatively new addition to the Maaori language added by the English so they could better

understand the Maaori language. Where a place name is within the Tainui area it should be used as it was given by the Tainui people. The Waipaa District Council should be a leader in the education of the people in their district including the correct spelling and pronunciation of the language.

Viki-lee Springer The macrons are used to help people pronounce Maori words correctly so yes. When you speak about Waipa changing and using the macron... I believe if they would like it pronounced correctly then yes, they should.

Roger Gordon I don’t see this as an important issue, but if there are those that consider the use of the macron is more correct, I’m not against it being introduced.

Weaving exhibition opens to public

Kahutoi Te Kanawa began weaving as a seven year old.

An exhibition featuring work of renowned Māori weaver and academic Kahutoi Te Kanawa is now on display at the Te Awamutu Museum.

Created by Te Kanawa as part of her PhD, the exhibition looks at Māori fibre weaving through an intergenerational lens, observing how knowledge is passed down through generations.

The collection includes kete (basket), kākahu (cloak), potae (hat), whāriki (mat), tīpare (headband), tukutuku (lashed wall panel), piupiu (flax skirt) and kono (woven bowl), created between 1970 and today.

In addition to Te Kanawa’s own work, taonga created by her mother, grandmother and great grandmother, some of which they worked on together as a whānau are also on display.

“Mum and Nana, always said to me as we were working together – let your mahi speak for you,” said Te Kanawa.

Te Awamutu Museum exhibitions coordinator, Henriata Nicholas said it was “an honour and a coup to have Kahu’s work grace our Museum”.

“This PhD exegesis exhibition epitomises how many Māori art practitioners learn and share their creative processes. What is amazing about Kahu’s work is you can see some of her defining learning moments within her work on show.”

Te Kanawa started weaving at the age of 7 in 1967. Since that time she has held kaiako, programme developer, senior lecturer, artist, and curator positions within leading university, arts, and museum institutions and has exhibited nationally and internationally for over 25 years.

The site was blessed by Rovina Maniapoto Anderson, Solomon Nelson and Shane Te Ruki, on behalf of Maniapoto Māori Trust Board, Raukawa Settlement Trust and Te Whakakitenga o Waikato Incorporated.

Waipa District Council, Department of Corrections and Spartan Construction staff and representatives were also present.

The blessing was at the site of the new wastewater pump station and accompanying works, on Waikeria Prison grounds.

Waipa District Council’s project delivery manager of major capital works, Lorraine Kendrick, said the blessing marked an integral step in the long-term project.

The project involves building a new wastewater pump station at Waikeria Prison and

the pipeline between the prison and Kihikihi.

It includes replacing the existing Albert Park pump station, and pipeline improvements from Albert Park to Paterangi Road.

The Waikeria Pipeline Project will deliver significant improvements to the wastewater network in Te Awamutu by allowing the network to accommodate expected increase in flows from the prison and also providing an increased capacity for Te Awamutu’s projected growth. Construction is expected to take 14 months to complete.

The Department of Corrections and Waipa District Council agreed to transfer wastewater treatment to Council’s existing wastewater treatment plant in Te Awamutu in December 2016. To keep up to date with the Waikeria Pipeline project, visit waipadc.govt. nz/MajorProjects.

Work to connect two water schemes and improve supply to Te Awamutu starts next month.

The work will resolve water supply issues in Te Awamutu and make services across the district more resilient.

Work scheduled for October 1 will start on a bulk water main along Cambridge Road, between Kaipaki and Parallel Roads. That section of the work is likely to take 18 weeks and motorists travelling may encounter traffic delays as a consequence.

The water scheme job is one of the major capital projects for the Waipa District Council.

The council budgeted for major investments into core water infrastructure, including connecting the Te Awamutu and Pukerimu water schemes in the 2018-28 10Year Plan.

Programme manager Marie McIntyre

said the bulk water main had already been installed along the Parallel Road section and work is continuing along Kaipaki Road.

Works along the Cambridge Road section will include a short-term detour for vehicles travelling from Cambridge.

“Monday to Friday between 7am and 6pm, drivers heading from Cambridge to Te Awamutu will be detoured along Lamb St, Roto O Rangi and McLarnon roads, adding another 5-10 minutes to the trip,” she said.

“From 6pm to 7am weekdays and on weekends, Cambridge Road will return as normal but will have traffic lights operating in some sections. Drivers may expect delays.”

Vehicles travelling toward Cambridge from Te Awamutu will continue unaffected along Cambridge Road during the day.

David Seymour’s End of Life Choice Bill moved closer to finality last week when proposed amendments on accountability around assisted dying were debated in Parliament.

The changes he suggested were voted though 68 to 52 in another Committee of the Whole House debate on September 11. It was the third of five such debates intended to vote on changes to the original bill; this one focused on a section intended to set up organisations to oversee and monitor assisted dying.

The Cambridge-based executive officer of Euthanasia-Free NZ, Renée Joubert, said last week’s debate covered the responsibilities of the Registrar, the SCENZ Group (Support and Consultation for End of Life in NZ), and the Review Committee.

“The Registrar’s main responsibility would be to receive forms from health practitioners involved in a euthanasia process. The SCENZ Group’s main responsibility would be to maintain lists of health practitioners willing to be involved and select a second medical practitioner to check whether a person is eligible,” she said. “The Review Committee’s main responsibility would be to consider whether the reports completed after the deaths show satisfactory compliance with the law. However, the committee would only be able to assess whether the forms were filled out properly; they would not be able to verify the accuracy of the information on those reports.”

She said it was ‘disappointing that Parliament had failed to address the accountability issues in the bill’.

Of the 36 proposed amendments put up for the September 11 debate – 35 of them from opponents seeking to tighten the rules around oversight bodies – only David Seymour’s won enough support to get the changes through.

“His was the only successful amendment. It made only one substantial change – namely that one of the three members of the Review Committee could be a nurse, instead of a doctor,” said Joubert. “The other two committee members would be a medical ethicist and a medical practitioner practising end-of-life care.”

She said the bill contains gaps that make wrongful deaths possible. Nobody was responsible for reviewing all the forms pertaining to a particular case; nobody was required to check that the forms completed before the death match up with the report completed after the death.

“Contrary to the case in The Netherlands, this Review Committee would not have information on the person’s medical record, eligibility, or whether they made a voluntary request. No witnesses are required at the death, which means that if a person changed their mind at the last minute, nobody other than the doctor of nurse administering the lethal dose might know.”

Other ‘gaps’ Joubert identified was that nobody would be responsible for following up missing death reports, a nurse would be able to administer the lethal dose even if coercion was present at the time of death, and no evidence was required that the nurse practitioner administering the lethal dose was authorised to do so.”

The debate on part four of the bill is next Wednesday.

Keeping cultural heritage alive Dry stone wall construction is a common sight in Great Britain, including north England where Tamahere resident Paul Oulton comes from. Some of the walls are 5000 years old and out-date the Egyptian pyramids.

Having grown up seeing fields divided

by dry stone walls and nurturing a true fondness for them, Oulton decided to build some here. “I’d never done it before and was lucky to meet a Brit who had experience in this form of construction.”

Oulton says the building method is not hard and with practice he has improved

Concern over speed of the freshwater consultation process

Federated Farmers is seeking an extension on the time-frame of the Essential Freshwater consultation so it can find a pathway forward that provides for the health of the water, the people and communities.

The organisation said one week into the exceptionally short time-frame of a six week consultation an economic report released by Local Government New Zealand has highlighted alarming social

He uses limestone sourced from a quarry in Te Kuiti. While the actual product is cheap, transporting it to his property is an expensive exercise.

Dry wall structures are constructed from stones without any mortar to bind them together. Their unique construction creates stability as well as load-bearing capacity through the careful selection of interlocking

stones.

Dry stone construction is best known in the context of stone walls, traditionally used for the boundaries of fields and churchyards, or as retaining walls for terracing. Dry stone sculptures, buildings, bridges, and other structures also exist.

The art of dry stone walling is inscribed in the Unesco representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity.

DairyNZ’s three-year project, Flexible Milking for Healthier People and Cows, launched in July, is a research programme to investigate the human, animal and pasture response to milking three times in two days (3-in-2). The project is led by DairyNZ and funded by the Sustainable Farming Fund and the DairyNZ levy.

The goal is to empower farmers and advisers to have the confidence to adopt, optimise, and support the use of 3-in2 milking. Expected outcomes include enhanced well-being through spending less hours on farm and having greater flexibility, as well as increased economic sustainability of farming businesses.

The first year of the study focuses on learning from farmers already using 3-in-2 strategically. This will help guide development of resources and information.

A farmlet trial will also be set up at Lincoln University Research Farm to test four milking frequency scenarios. Impact on milk production, body condition, animal behaviour, pasture production and grazing management will be measured.

Dairy farmers who subscribe to email updates through DairyNZ will regularly receive results from the project. Resources will be developed to help farmers make informed decisions regarding the use of 3-in-2 milking.

Know Your Childcare Provider Choosing a childcare – what should I look for?

Going back to work and having to put your child into care for the first time can be a stressful and emotional experience.

Finding the right centre is critical to how well your child settles in and how happy they will be. Don't hurry your decision.

Take your time and choose carefully. Make a list of potential centres, visit them personally and chat with the teachers.

A helpful guide The Education Review Office has produced a helpful guide for the parents of preschool age children. As a government body, ERO is responsible for overseeing quality in early childhood centres.

Licensed and certificated early learning services must meet minimum standards of education and care to operate.

The range of options available encompass different types of early learning services, hours, and prices. Each service type has its

The community has a variety of child care services. They generally fall into two main groups; teacher-led services where 50 per cent of the supervising adults must be qualified and registered as ECE teachers, and parent-led services, where parents and family or caregivers educate and care for their children.

Teacher-led services include kindergartens, education and care services, home-based services and te kura. Parent-led services include playcentres and kohanga reo, both of which must be licensed. It also encompasses playgroups, which may or may not be government certified, puna kōhungahunga and Pacific Island-focused playgroups.

own way of working with children and their parents and whānau. Some offer all day education and care, some only part day.

The guide looks at what types of early childhood education services are available, how to choose one for your child, what to look for in an early childhood education centre, key questions to ask when you visit a service, how to help your child settle into pre-school and how early childhood education is regulated.

Things to consider

The ERO regularly checks early childhood education centres. As their reports are published online, you can easily review centres you may be considering for your child.

Nationwide operational requirements set by the National Quality Framework help to ensure all registered child care providers and early learning programs adhere to the same minimum standards.

Some child care and daycare centres clearly go above and beyond these standards to deliver an exceptional level of care and early learning experiences.

When choosing a childcare centre, location is important. Do you want one near your home or close to your work place? Ask about fees and extra costs. There may be meals or special events to cover.

Check to see if the service offers 20 hours per week free ECE for three and four year olds.

Does the centre have a good mix of staff?

What is the teacher to child ratio? How are the children grouped? What is the training and education level of staff?

Inquire about the centre's activities and routines, such as sleep, meals, and nappy changing.

C R E AT O R S @ W A I PA E A R LY C H I L D H O O D C E N T R E

Our beautiful early childhood centre is situated on the campus of Waipa Christian School.

Our innovative centre design allows our children to grow in creativity and empathy for one another. Paired with a passionate and caring team, we provide a space that is “an exciting play environment, resourced sustainably, and encouraged by love and laughter”- Karyn Wilcox, Centre Manager.

We are a Reggio Emilia inspired centre, meaning we believe that every child is born with unlimited potential and a life full of possibility. Given the right environment and support, children are capable of achieving more than what we can think. Inquiry learning and problemsolving are a major focus of the Reggio Emilia approach and inspire what we do.

The hallmark of our centre is the strong relationships we form with families on a daily basis. We believe that you can’t look at the child apart from their whānau, and when you enrol your child with us, you become part of our supportive community. “Our relationships with our whanau are authentic and have grown organically through rich conversations and time to share and celebrate their tamariki.”

We enjoy our links with the wider community- spending time regularly with the neighbouring school, our local retirement village and tending to our community garden. Karyn explains, the philosophy of our centre “is guided by a shared understanding of care and respect for ourselves, our tamariki, our whanau and the environment.”

Creators@Waipa is truly a unique environment offering an abundance of opportunity for children to explore, learn and grow. We would love to meet you and show you around - get in touch today!

Know Your Childcare Provider

Guidance for providers

The Early Years Learning Framework guides childcare providers on the principles, practices, and outcomes that support and enhance early learning from birth to age five, and the transition period into school. This framework is used to construct the curriculum and engagement programs at child care centres and pre-schools. These programmes should encourage children to learn, interact and develop through child-centred play and learning activities, and all centres have their own unique differences.

Approach the centres that best appeal to you, ask about their programme inclusions and choose a programme that reflects your family values and the interests, needs, and personality of your child.

If the centre provides catering, check out the menus. You may also want to inquire about allergy awareness programmes, first-aid and illness policies, and child care management technology. You’ll want to know whether the centre is licensed, looks safe and clean and how staff relate to the children and parents. Talk to other parents who have children there.

At Central Kids Kindergartens we believe children learn best through purposeful play, supported by qualified teachers in positive, warm and inviting environments where children, parents and whānau are welcomed and valued.

We have large outdoor environments that allow children endless learning opportunities to develop physically, take risks, and engage in a respectful

relationship with the natural world. With a commitment to sustainability children can develop a love of the natural environment, make sense of their world, and develop ways to take care of Papatūānuku.

Our curriculum supports learning in a safe, resource rich environment, embracing te ao Māori and the diverse cultures of our communities.

We have open door policies, nau mai haere mai.

GOOD BOYS Invited to his first kissing party, 12-year-old Max asks his best friends Lucas and Thor for some much-needed help on how to pucker up.

When they hit a dead end, Max decides to use his father's drone to spy on the teenage girls next door. When the boys lose the drone, they skip school and hatch a plan to retrieve it before Max's dad can figure out what happened. A review: “Funniest movie I have seen in a long time. Loved this movie. The movie stayed true to most 12 year old boys everywhere. My 17 year old cursed like that with his friends at 1112 when he thought we couldn't hear. I laughed out loud throughout this movie. Go see it.”

AD ASTRA Astronaut Roy McBride (Brad Pitt) travels to the outer edges of the solar system to find his missing father and unravel a mystery that threatens the survival of our planet. His journey will uncover secrets that challenge the nature of human existence and our place in the cosmos.

Two reviews: “Fantastic movie. Really good movie; maybe not for everyone but I really enjoyed the film. A really good story and Brad Pitt's acting is always perfect. Ad Astra is indeed one of the best space epics I've ever seen.” “What a fantastic movie-masterpiece. Great science fiction movie.”
