Covid closes classrooms

KATE RUSSELL

A surge of Covid-19 and winter illnesses among teaching staff has forced some Nelson secondary schools to send students home to learn, or even close. Nayland College has moved all

Year 10 students to online learning this week, and all students are to stay at home tomorrow, due to 18 teachers being away sick. “Most of which will be Covid-19,” says principal Daniel Wilson. “We are particularly down in deans and senior leaders at the

moment and some learning areas have been hit hard.” Daniel says that Covid-19 continues to cause problems for the college, and some learning areas have become compromised. “I also need to be mindful of the impact on all staff as they cover

Covid-19 absences whilst trying to manage their own health. “We are hoping that an additional day at home will help us manage the school through until the end of term.” He says many staff, as well as students, are “exhausted”.

“I am aware of at least three staff who are suffering from longCovid. Some have returned to work and then had to take additional sick leave.” Daniel adds that it has been

Covid surge closes classrooms FROM PAGE 1 “incredibly hard” to find relief staff. “Some of our best relievers have found permanent work, meaning the pool is much smaller. “There is only so much internal staff cover we can do before it becomes a workload concern and impacts my staff still on site.” Nelson College for Girls was closed last Wednesday due to staff illness. Principal Cathy Ewing says they also had 10 teachers away on Monday, some with Covid-19 and some with other illnesses. “We moved students to be at home last Wednesday because we could not cover classes. “The relief pool is very tight at the moment,” she says.

Nayland College has moved its Year 10 students to online learning all week, with the entire school learning from home tomorrow as sickness continues to affect teaching staff. Photo: File. ard Dykes says things are “tight” but they are “scraping through for now”. As of Monday, they had eight teachers away, however they are

finding that they are being hit with other winter bugs more than Covid-19. “We are finding more are away due to the flu than Covid. We

provided free flu jabs for all our staff this year for obvious reasons,” he says. “At this stage, we are managing to find relievers but are also relying on teachers to cover gaps that we can’t fill. “We’re getting there but staff are understandably tired,” Richard says. Garin College principal John Maguire says this term has been a “most challenging time” for teachers and learners. “I have to say that term two schooling has been impacted significantly by Covid-19 related illness amongst staff, teachers, and students.” He says throughout the term, the school has also had to rely heavily on the relief teacher pool to ensure continuity for school operations and learning continuity for

students. “For our teachers having to continually teach to a reduced number of students in class each day and for our learners having their teachers away from the classroom is tiring and this is significantly impacting teaching, learning, and assessment.” John says Garin College has been fortunate to have had a “long and slow” impact from Covid-19, meaning they have been able to cover all classes adequately so far. “We have not needed to respond with rostering home or closing the college, however, such contingencies are potentially possible should we need. “Our relief teachers have been amazing throughout this time and we are extremely grateful for their service to our teachers and learners.”

Submissions now open on Three Waters reform SARA HOLLYMAN A much-awaited opportunity to provide public feedback on the controversial Three Waters reform is now available. The Government is accepting submissions on the Water Services Entities Bill, which is the next stage in the reform programme. In October last year, Government decided they would mandate the reform across the country, meaning local councils must transfer their wastewater, storm water and drinking water assets to one of four new entities. The entities will be collectively owned by councils on behalf of communities, meaning the assets will remain in public ownership, however the degree of ownership and accountability has been debated by many in the community. Nelson City Council will be making a submission to government and as part of this, are putting out a survey to gather the views of the community. A council spokesperson says the government’s deadline on submissions is “very tight” so surveys must be completed by July 4.

Council’s submission will be considered at a full council meeting in July before submissions close on July 22. Nelsonians can also make independent submissions directly to the Government through the Select Committee process by visiting Parlia-

There are many in the community that feel passionately about Three Waters Alec Louverdis

We have already seen feedback from councils incorporated into the reform, and this is another opportunity for us to ensure this change works for our community. “The question is not whether the reform is needed, but what shape it should take.” Acting chief executive Alec Louverdis encouraged Nelsonians to take part in the engagement. “There are many in the community that feel passionately about Three Waters, and I would encourage them to engage fully with the process.

Nursing students quit due to high workloads JENNY NICHOLSON and MAX FRETHEY Almost a third of nursing students around the country are dropping out due to financial strain and high workloads, and Nelson Tasman has not escaped the trend. A local woman, who asked not to be named, started her nursing degree at NMIT earlier this year and says she pulled out of the course after finding the workload, combined with parenting and supporting her family, too much. “I didn’t want my children to have

a grumpy mum all the time,” she says. After a day in the classroom at the polytechnic, she would have further study in the evening, often staying up till 2am to study and complete assignments as well as juggling part-time work. She left after the first term but has heard from other students in her class that the second term is even busier. NMIT executive director Olivia Hall confirmed that NMIT has seen an increase in the number of students enrolled into Bachelors of Nursing (BN), rising from 136

students in 2019 to 173 last year ,but that students do drop out. Of the 81 students enrolled in the first year of the Bachelor of Nursing degree in 2021, 26 dropped out. She says reasons cited for dropping out included relocation, non-attendance, ill health, the inability to comply with requirements of NMIT’s vaccination policy, and students changing their mind. Olivia also says that several students in the second and third years of their programmes had put their degrees on hold but in-

Saturday 11 June saw the Indonesian culture shown off at the Saxton Oval Pavilion. The first event was a batik workshop and exhibition attended by 60 people. Batik is a traditional form of Indonesian art that involves dye and dye-resisting wax to create intricate and colourful patterns. The second event in the evening was an exploration of Indonesia through traditional Indonesian dishes like tumpeng and rendang alongside live performances and music. More than 140 guests attended the dining experience including the Indonesian ambassador to New Zealand Fientje Maritje Suebu. The cultural showcase was organised by IndoNelson, the Indonesian community in Nelson, as part of the Tuku 22 Whakatū Heritage Months festival. Photo: Supplied.

tended to return to study, while two others in their second year left due to the vaccine mandate. “If a student wishes to withdraw from a programme, NMIT staff work with them to see if there is anything NMIT can do to support or assist them to continue with their studies.” But despite large numbers of first year students dropping out, the course completion rate for nursing degrees in 2021 was 97 per cent. Olivia acknowledges that it can be stressful for some students to complete the programme. “Juggling shift work, study, par-

enting and other commitments is a challenge for many students.” She says that students enrol into nursing study with an understanding of the course’s costs and requirements, but various support options are available such as travel and accommodation support for nursing students, nursing scholarships, and additional support from SANITI (NMIT’s student association). “NMIT has high retention of students due to small class sizes, one-on-one tutor support, and campus-wide learner support services.”

Mel Courtney seeks third term on council KATE RUSSELL

Tessa Bell from the Nelson Budget Service says that the Warm Winter Scheme is an excellent tool to help people who experience financial hardship during the colder months. Photo: Max Frethey.

Helping locals through cold winters MAX FRETHEY Winter has returned to the country alongside increased power bills and for many that means financial insecurity, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Nelson Budget Service is beginning their Warm Winter Scheme for the fourth year which sees hundreds of dollars distributed among many Nelsonians who are struggling to make ends meet. “Everyone gets behind in a bill now and then,” Nelson Budget Service coordinator Tessa Bell says. “And everyone deserves to have a warm, healthy home where they’re not stressing about how they’re going to pay the next month’s bill.” Since 2018, close to $16,500 has been paid for overdue power bills through the Warm Winter Scheme, providing support to 58 applicants. The funds are primarily sup-

plied by recipients of the Government’s Winter Energy Payment who don’t actually need the support and choose to donate it to the Budget Service. “It’s such a good thing to do for people. There’re kids living in cold damp homes, and this is helping them directly,” Tessa says. The money is paid in one lump sum directly into the recipient’s account with their energy provider, which lessens the financial strain that many face during winter. “I would say there are a lot of families who are one big bill away from everything just doing a domino.” The current cost-of-living and housing crises have made things difficult for many Kiwis, but Tessa says there’s no shame in asking for help when it’s needed. “Life is hard for people,” she says. “There’s no shame, there’s

no judgement when you come in here. Our team here are of the view that everyone deserves dignity and respect.” The Nelson Budget Service tries its best to approve all applications, but even if it doesn’t, the team has pathways to alternate support providers like the Fifeshire Foundation. “If we can’t help here, we’ll put you over there because winter sucks, it really does.” Tessa would encourage anyone who is experiencing financial hardship and is struggling to cover costs to look into the Warm Winter Scheme. “You can only cut your grocery budget so far; you can only put so many jerseys on on a cold night,” she says. “If you don’t use these schemes, they go away.” If you’re interested in donating to or receiving support from the Warm Winter Scheme, go to www.nelsonbudget.co.nz

Mel Courtney has confirmed he will be running for another term as a Nelson city councillor this October, but will not be standing for the mayoralty, as he did in the 2019 local body elections. Mel says Nelson is a “special place” and he wants to see that it stays that way. “This will mean maintaining a careful balance between growth and development on one hand and our way of life and environment on the

other.” Mel says he wants to continue to be “a voice at the council table for people who feel they are not being listened to”. “I want to put a stop to wasteful spending and keep a watchful eye on council’s major projects and finances.” If successful, it will be Mel’s third consecutive term as an elected member after re-entering politics in 2016 at the age of 72. He previously served three terms during the 1970’s.

Angel vies for vintage title SARA HOLLYMAN

Life is too short to not be yourself. It’s a statement that Angela McIntosh lives by, and she hopes that she can encourage other woman to be who they are and celebrate their individuality. Angela, aka Angel Blush, has been named as a finalist in the 2022 Miss Vintage Australasia, the only finalist from the Top of the South. She says her work in the burlesque industry has helped her with body confidence and she wishes all women could feel comfortable in their own skin. Her passion for vintage-themed clothing grew when she was working as an accountant before having children. “My work wardrobe was very boring, so I ended up looking at posse bow blouses and how to incorporate some more femininity into that corporate style, and then it kind of just grew and grew.” Angela will hit the catwalk in September to compete for the

title of Miss Vintage Australasia, as part of Vintage Fest NZ at the Lincoln Event Centre in Christchurch, alongside nine other finalists. She says the festival helps promote the vintage aesthetic and lifestyle to people who might be interested, as well as celebrating femininity and all different body shapes and ages. Entering competitions has also helped Angel make lifelong friends. “I have an autistic four-yearold and sometimes it’s such a struggle. In another competition I made a really good friend who also has an autistic four-year-old, she’s become an amazing friend. “Sometimes you can feel a bit on your own, having someone so amazing and creating that bond has been one of the big factors as to why I wanted to continue entering competitions.” Angela says Nelsonians are very accepting of her style and will often make comments on individual pieces and how they bring back memories. “People here are really posi-

tive; Nelson is really good in that regard.” People often ask how she has the time to get ready with three small children. “Getting dressed it takes me exactly the same amount of time to put on sweatpants as it does a dress and the same for lip balm vs red lipstick, it doesn’t take me any longer.” She says after suffering from post-natal depression, putting in effort to do things like applying her signature red lipstick helped her. “It really helped me feel like myself and recognise myself in the mirror. I think that’s important, I just want to say to people ‘look, you can just live your best life, if you’ve got kids and you’re not 21 anymore, it doesn’t matter, just be yourself and celebrate that’.” She is so comfortable in her vintage attire that her twoyear-old daughter will ask ‘mummy, where’s your red mouth gone’ if she’s not wearing lipstick. “Do what you want to do, because really nobody cares, life’s too short to not be yourself.”

Safety around underground boxes Powelliphanta largely prey on earthworms, which they ‘suck up like spaghetti’. Photo: Ray Salisbury.

Giant carnivorous snails released into Brook Sanctuary KATE RUSSELL The Brook Waimārama Sanctuary welcomed 30 carnivorous giant powelliphanta snails on Friday. Powelliphanta hochstetteri consobrina is the third native species to be translocated into the sanctuary and the first invertebrate one. Sanctuary staff, selected volunteers, iwi representatives, and some school children made their way up high into the sanctuary to help release the snails. Powelliphanta largely prey on earthworms, which they ‘suck up like spaghetti’. They have 6000 tiny razor-sharp teeth which help them to eat larger prey, such as slugs. The snails are one of the most threatened species of inver-

tebrates in New Zealand, and thrive in moist native forests and sub-alpine environments, especially around the northwest of Nelson. Similar to tuatara, kiwi, or moa, powelliphanta snail species are ancient creatures that are living representatives of New Zealand’s unique evolutionary history. The snails are among the largest in the world, and their shells range in colour from red and brown to yellow and black. Powelliphanta hochstetteri consobrina are also some of the largest of the powelliphanta subspecies. The snails were collected from two Department of Conservation approved sites by a team of sanctuary staff and volunteers, experts, and Ngāti Koata representatives. Brook Waimārama Sanctuary

ecologist Robert Schadewinkel says the translocation of this unique snail species into the sanctuary will be a significant step toward the conservation efforts for this threatened species. “The absence of rats, possums, and pigs, which are the biggest threat to this species, means we are confident that a growing population can be established inside the sanctuary. “Due to their slow reproduction rate, the population growth is expected to be modest but steady.” Chief executive Ru Collin says the reintroduction of powelliphanta into the safe haven of the sanctuary will help the species to “survive and thrive”. “Part of the ecosystem restoration will include the reintroduction of many locally extinct species into the sanctuary.”

Are you one of the many people who have wondered “What are all the little black and grey boxes on the footpath/ side of the road …?”

These are Network Tasman’s ‘underground boxes’. They are the protective covers we place over the fuses that connect the underground power cables to the service cables conveying electricity to your house or business. As these boxes have live electrical components inside them, it’s important for public safety that they have securely fitted covers. We have about 12,000 underground boxes on our network, most of them in urban areas. As they are generally in public spaces they sometimes get damaged when: z

vehicles accidentally run into them, causing the cover to loosen or crack

people drill holes or insert screws into them

some have their covers removed by people not authorised to do so.

These are all dangerous situations, as they can expose you to the live electrical parts inside the box and put you at risk of electrocution. If a box gets repeatedly damaged by vehicles, we will look at putting protective bollards around it. Underground boxes must be left alone and only networkapproved contractors are permitted to remove the covers. Putting screws into an underground box or drilling holes into one is extremely dangerous! If anything ever causes you to need to interact with a box please phone us.

Local Lion volunteers for half a century MAX FRETHEY National Volunteer Week is here to acknowledge and recognise the important work that volunteers do around the country and in our region. Nelsonian John Alexander is one such volunteer having been involved in the Lions Club for over 50 years. John was a founding member Lions Club of Stoke and has since been involved with the Nelson North Lions Club, and now the Richmond Lions Club. During his time with the Lions, he has seen and brought a lot of change to Nelson City. There was no specific reason John began volunteering for the Lions besides a desire to engage with something other than work. “I wanted to do something in the community,” John says. “Just to get out and about… something outside the work environment.” John says that one of the first projects the Stoke Lions worked on was raising funds for the entry foyer at the Nay-

John Alexander land Park Pool Complex. Other projects that he was involved in through the Lions includes seating outside of St. Barnabas’ Anglican Church in Stoke, the pathway from Nayland Road to the front of Broadgreen House, barbeque and picnic facilities at the Tāhunanui Recreation Reserve, as well as contributing to the children’s playground at Tāhunanui Beach. John says it’s nice to still see some of his projects around today. “We certainly appreciate some of the stuff that we’ve

done.” John has also experienced a variety of fundraising methods. Though sausage sizzles are a popular tool for him nowadays, he remembers a time where the Lions demolished a few buildings and sold the materials and parts to raise money. “Those things we don’t do now.” Having been part of the Lions for 51 years now, John says that while times have changed, the values and work of the Club haven’t changed. “The principles are the same, just probably the way we do things are different.” John says he doesn’t plan on ending his involvement with the Lions despite being 83 years old. “Only when I fall over,” he says. “I still do what I can.” John thinks that volunteering is important and is something that people should give a go. “I think possibly a lot of people don’t recognise what some volunteers are doing around the place,” he says.

Liquor manager takes keys from drunk driver TRACY NEAL

Open Justice Reporter

A liquor store manager had been credited for stopping a drunk woman from getting into her car and driving off. Karen Lee Bowie has now avoided going to prison on a fourth drinkdrive charge – this time she was almost five times the legal limit when on May 26 she went to a Nelson store to buy alcohol. Judge Noel Sainsbury said in sentencing her in the Nelson District Court on Monday that she was so intoxicated the store refused to sell her alcohol. The manager noticed that as she left, she went to her car, and was about to drive off. He was concerned enough to stop her and take her keys. The police were called, and an evidential breath test showed Bowie 1209 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath. Judge Sainsbury described it as a “huge reading”. He said in usual circumstances on a fourth drinkdrive offence, prison was an option, but he considered several mitigating circumstances including Bowie’s last offence was 13 years ago, and a “serious alcohol addiction” Bowie had managed at times to get on top off. The 56-year-old has been actively engaged with addiction support services but had recently endured a

“significant bereavement” which had led to the latest relapse. “These aren’t excuses but offers a place of understanding,” Judge Sainsbury said. He said given Bowie’s track record of working to manage her addiction, the reason for the recent offending and the support she has, a sentence which focused on rehabilitation and support was needed. Judge Sainsbury sentenced Bowie to 18 months’ intensive supervision and ordered her to attend an alcohol and drug programme, grief counselling and any other programme as directed. He said she would be subject to judicial monitoring which would “keep an eye” on progress. “If there is any further relapse then it can mean you end up being re-sentenced.” Bowie was also made subject to an interlock order, meaning she was disqualified from driving for 28 days and could then apply for an Alcohol Interlock Licence. “Unless you jump through those hoops you will remain disqualified,” Judge Sainsbury warned Bowie.

Will debates his way to world champs KATE RUSSELL Debating is something that comes naturally for 17-yearold Will Irvine and this August he will be taking his talents to the world stage. The Year 13 Nayland College student has been selected to represent New Zealand at the World Schools Debating Championships. He will be joining four other students in Auckland as part of the team, who will compete over Zoom since the competition can’t be held in person this year. “It’s not that uncommon, I have done Zoom debates before. It’s something that can easily be transferred to Zoom but it’s not the same - it is the same functionally but it’s not the same in terms of the experience.” Most of their debates will

take place around 10pm. “All the debates are on China time so we are operating later at night than we usually would. We’re all staying in one house where we’re going to set up a good computer connection and a good desk and give it our best shot.” Will says he is excited but nervous about competing against the world’s best. “It’s a bit nerve-wracking because we are in the Asia division, so the teams we’re likely to be competing against in the heats are very well resourced and have a lot of coaches.” Will has been involved in debating ever since he started at Nayland College. “I think someone just told me I’d be good at it, and I was like ‘yeah alright’. It’s an incredibly fascinating thing to do. Nothing compares

to it in regards to having to think quickly - just being able to try and come up with and win an argument in eight minutes,” he says. “It’s really exciting to be able to do that at a higher level.” His selection for the New Zealand team follows a successful New Zealand Secondary Schools Debating Competition where he and fellow Nayland students Stella Bloomfield and Ysabella Abel placed third.

Opinion Unified council

Have your say: sara@topsouthmedia.co.nz facebook.com/nelsonweekly

get me wrong, I live for a bit of healthy debate, everyone is entitled to, and should have, their own opinion. But when did the right to have and share an opinion turn into the right to abuse an individual, or spout hate without actually sharing your views at all? Often comments we delete from our page are just that, abusive and nasty. There is enough abuse in this world without us adding to the mix with hurtful comments. Would we say the same to our sister, our father, our best friend, our child or to the person themselves if they were standing in front of you? If the answer is no, then perhaps rephrase what you are trying to get across. So share your opinion, I, for one, would love to hear it, but please be kinder, you never know what someone is going through. Sara Hollyman

Thank you for reporter Kate Russell’s story about Nelson City Councillor Matt Lawrey putting his hand up for the Mayoralty. Two of Matt’s policies really stood out for me: the need for a culture change at the Council and his goal of lighting the Railway Reserve from Totara St to Saxton Rd. It seems to me that, in order for the city to move forward, we’re going to need a more unified Council where people feel welcome and valued. We’re also going to need a really positive person in the Mayor’s Office and, from what I’ve seen, Matt can really deliver on that front. As far as the Railway Reserve goes, it just seems mad to me that the whole thing isn’t already lit up at night. If we’re serious about getting more people walking and cycling, and reducing emissions and congestion then, surely, making the reserve safer and more accessible after dark is a no brainer. Claire Keeling

Wet start to winter A very wet few days, and more on the radar to come. Charlotte Williams

From the editor:

This week I have had the discussion of social media conversation come up more than once. Often we put articles up online about people and groups from our community. The time it takes to moderate comments is ever-increasing. When I say moderate, I don’t mean delete anything that disagrees with the article or it’s content. I feel that people often forget that there is a person in front of the comments they are making through their keyboard. Don’t

Was just saying the other day I don’t recall it raining this much for so many days since I’ve lived in nelson lol!! I love the rain but definitely over it now. Gem Bennetts Only good thing it stops every now and then. Margaret Andrews

Matt Lawrey announces bid for mayor Awesome news, I’m excited for Nelson... a new mayor and CEO coming our way. Bevan Woodward Nothing about debt or ever increasing rates I see on Matt’s list of important issues. Must be great not to have to worry about rates or the debt we are leaving for the next generations. Graeme O’Brien Great, positive change due here. Nice one! Anna Dean I guess the question is does he understand and represent the values of the average joe bow Nelson ratepayer: Probably not. What financial acumen would he bring to the job: not much at all. Is he a leader of a diverse group of people, undoubtedly no as evidenced by his rambunctious behaviour at times? So if it’s all added up not the Mayor that Nelson needs. In any event a mile away from being elected without him even sensing that. Chris Harvey

Library project progresses Would be better off to say that we want a new library because then it would never happen Nathan Salt No point building it too many people in Nelson that wouldn’t even know what a book is let alone know where to find one. Jordan Gibson

design

But yet there’s constant road works everywhere, also lack of parking & rooms at the hospital. But hey let’s build another library. Hope Hellesoe How about actually listening to the people and not wasting money on a vanity project no one wants? William Patterson Could you high light the spring high tide mark in 2090 , as the council told us the Wood will be a metre under water by then! Chris Kirby How about building a boat/library for future proofing you know... Glenn Taylor And perhaps we could see an artist’s rendering of this when the tides out? James Brown

Future of Marina to be decided How about putting more money into housing, health, education etc. Vivien Wadsworth Can we get quiet tarmac on Atawhai Drive first please? Traffic noise along the Haven is nerve shattering. Ngairē Borlase To many old people in Nelson making the decisions for something good like this to go ahead.. Nick Vincent Maisey No wonder our general rates are rising … all those big costly projects at once … Peter Paul Fierek

Geeze still waiting for some decent rubbish recycling bins about the place and some decent weed control in our parks and reserves... yet this is taking priority? How about a decent kids play water park and a proper youth drop in centre?? Frances Minogue So a rich persons playground? How about education or community sports or something for everyone. We don’t need more places to spend money. Everything about this plan benefits only a few. Maggie Mcgill This appears to be more than just a marina facility. Something which, if done right, everyone in the community can enjoy if they do wish. So, rather than do the negative thinking thing and look for excuses not to proceed how about we do the positive thinking thing and focus on how it can be done, and to the benefit of all Nelsonians, also visitors to our region. As a heads up, I’ll be voting for environmentally friendly, positive thinking, candidates in October. Negativity is too destructive for my liking. Dennis Goodman It sounds like a great plan. If it was 1985. What’s the climate change mitigation plan because if the projections are correct it’ll be under water in 50 years? It’s a nice idea to develop it and have better costal access for everyone but I wonder how well it’s been thought through. Doug Barry-Martin The most under-utilised port for urban use in New Zealand.

Everly jumping to fundraise, ...End of Story Cullen jumping to beat Everly Final facts on some of our stories

Good Samaritan emerges out of Anzac medal hunt

SARA HOLLYMAN Siblings Everly and Cullen Harris are putting their best foot forward for a jumping event spanning the month of June. Schools throughout the country are taking part in ‘Jumping June’ - a Heart Foundation event to raise funds and have fun while increasing awareness of heart health. Although they were late to start, the pair of Clifton Terrace School students have been working hard to fundraise for their goal. Everly, who couldn’t skip just over a week ago, says she first heard about the event through school and wanted to do it to help other people, but didn’t register till well into the month. “I didn’t know how to skip but me and my friend have been practicing at morning tea and lunchtime and now we are both top of the school.”

Siblings Everly and Cullen Harris are taking part in Jumping June to raise money for the Heart Foundation. Photo: Sara Hollyman. At the beginning of last week Everly could just manage a high score of 80 skips in a row, but just seven days later her record is 1130. “I got one of those things that counts how many jumps you do so I’m going to see how high I can get it. Cullen decided to join a couple of days after he saw

Everly practicing. “I wanted to beat her at it, but it’s not going that well.” Mum, Elyse says her phone has been hijacked by the pair who have been messaging her close friends and sharing information to Facebook to encourage donations to the bank accounts they have set-up. A post on her Facebook

page reads “Hi it’s Everly here. I am doing Jumping June to fundraise for the Heart Foundation. If you could donate any $ towards my goal, I will skip my little heart out for you.” Another one follows shortly after reading “Hi my name is Cullen and I’m trying to beat my sister Everly in Jumping June. Please note I haven’t even started and she is already top of the school. Wish me luck.” Clifton Terrace School principal Rob Weymss says the fundraiser has “gone crazy” at the school. “There’s heaps of kids out there with skipping ropes, every day, it’s cool actually, it’s a really nice change.” Everly says she wants to raise as much money as she can I feel good about it, that I’m doing a great thing for other people and for myself,” Everly says. To donate go to the Jumping June website.

Rebecca Gibson’s father’s World War II medals were sold when she was a child. After she made a Facebook post asking for advice on how she might find them again, she received an outpouring of support which included Brian McIntyre giving her father’s grave a clean. Rebecca applied for and received a list of her father’s medals from the United Kingdom and Brian Ramsay has since crafted and delivered a set of replica medals to Rebecca.

Youth to showcase original work 25 May, 2022

About 20 talented teenagers took the stage at Nelson Musical Theatre on 11 June as part of ‘The Originals’ showcase. The show was an opportunity for Nelson youth to showcase their original work and organiser Nikki Karki says it was a “fantastic night”. “We had a full house … there were improv troupes performing five games and scenes each, three separate solo acts, songs, and poetry. Everyone joined in the improvised ballet at the end, which was hilarious,” she says. “I had someone email me who came with his daughter saying they loved it and laughed a lot.”

Dr Seuss inspires first play KATE RUSSELL A play that has been seven years in the making has finally become a reality for Nelson’s Dr Seuss-loving deputy mayor. Judene Edgar’s debut show, ‘Horton Hatches a Controversy’, is debuting at the Red Door Theatre tomorrow night as part of the Nelson Fringe Festival. She says it has always been a dream to write her own play. “I was acting in a show in the first Nelson Fringe Festival, and decided that I’d like to write a play,” she says. “As the years went on, I was a fringe volunteer, contractor, and trustee, and every year I would think ‘I should write my play’, but I finally put pen to paper this year and wrote a play … about Dr Seuss.” What might seem like an unlikely topic, Judene says she’s been a fan of Dr Seuss books for as long as she can remember. “Once I had children it became more acceptable to be a collector of Dr Seuss books. “But my boys know that they’re really mine.” But it’s not just the ‘Cat in the Hat’ or ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ it’s also his rare books written for adults. “I also have his political cartoons from World War II which have

The Beths announce Nelson show Auckland band The Beths are bringing their biggest headline tour yet to Nelson this spring. The quartet are playing at the Theatre Royal on 24 September. This will follow the release of their new album, Expert In A Dying Field, on 16 September. The band’s third LP houses 12 jewels of tight, guitar-heavy songs that worm their way into your head, an incandescent collision of power-pop and skuzz. Go to www.theatreroyalnelson.co.nz for tickets.

Photo: Tessa Jaine. been a major source of inspiration for my play. “A lot of people think they know Dr Seuss because they know and love his children’s books, but he started out as an ad man and then moved into political cartooning.” Semi-biographical in nature, Judene says that the final straw that motivated her to write her play was the cancellation of six of his books by his own publishing company. “There was quite a lot of outrage and debate about cancel culture,

so I wanted to examine what Dr Seuss might have thought about it.” While she says that the process of writing, editing, and re-writing has been a lot of work, she has also had to jump in at the deep end taking on the role of director. “I’ve been involved with a lot of plays but this time I’ve taken on a lot of new roles that I’ve never had before, so I have a newfound respect for all the work that goes into putting a show on.” Despite the challenges, she says

that the easiest part was the casting. “We have such a depth of talent in the region, so I was very lucky to get Anton Bentley to play older Dr Seuss, Matthew Edgar to play the younger Dr Seuss, and Molly Clarke to play his wife, Helen Palmer.” Horton Hatches a Controversy is on Thursday 23 and Friday 24 June at 6.00pm at Red Door Theatre (Nelson Musical Theatre, Atawhai Drive). Tickets are available from nelsonfringe.co.nz

Six artists who had never met before have come together to take advantage of an opportunity to display their artwork in the McKee Room at the Suter Art Gallery until 3 July. 4. As members of the Nelson Suter Art Society (NSAS), Danielle Yealands, Kerry Aitken, Deborah Croft, Sharron Martin, Tony Milner and Gary Gibbens all bring a fresh perspective to the exhibition, aptly named ‘A Broad Sweep - Aspects of Art’. Visitors to the exhibition will see traditional and impressionist realism through to abstract art, encaustic art and mixed media.

French Film Festival opens in Nelson MAX FRETHEY The French Film Festival’s opening night was held at the Suter Art Gallery earlier this month. More than 20 films are being shown which feature every conceivable style of cinema for all audiences - from murder mysteries and comedies, to romance and action movies, including some that came out of the Cannes Film Festival. The opening night screening was a showing of Mathias Malzieu’s ‘A Mermaid in Paris’ which festival director Fergus Grady likened to the 2017 film ‘The Shape of Water’. “A real fantasy journey set with the backdrop of Paris and the Seine,” he says. “We’ve had a lot of good feedback from Auckland and Wellington so far on that film.” Other films in the festival in-

clude the World War II drama ‘Farewell, Mr. Haffman’, as well as comedies ‘The Villa’ and ‘Employee of the Month’. “The great thing about the French Film Festival is we get to pick the best of what films are made.” All 21 films are in French with English subtitles, but Fergus says that reading subtitles shouldn’t intimidate would-be moviegoers. “I always find that once you get through the first five minutes of the film, it kind of becomes second nature.” The festival will run until Tuesday 28 June with four screenings a day, with multiple reruns of the same film so there’s little risk of missing a film entirely. And as a bonus, anyone who buys a ticket to any of the festival’s films will have the opportunity to go in to win a trip to New Caledonia. Entries for

that competition are open until mid-July. Fergus says that the festival is a great event and that everyone should give one of the movies a go because French films can offer a very different experience to anything that you’ve seen before. “Try something new. The French make completely different cinema to everywhere else in the world. They’re quite imaginative, it’s fresh, it’s not anything you’ve seen before,” he says. “It’s one of their prouder exports, they’re very patriotic with their culture and with cinema. It’s something to celebrate.” More information can be found at frenchfilmfestival.co.nz and tickets can be bought at suter. statecinemas.co.nz or in person at the State Cinemas.

Festival director Fergus Grady says the 21 films that are screening are some of the best French films from over the past few years. Photo: Max Frethey.

19-25 JUNE 2022

Time to Shine / He wā pīataata National Volunteer Week 19-25 June 2022 honours the collective energies and mana of all our volunteers in Aotearoa. More than one million people across Aotearoa volunteer for an organisation, contributing $4 billion to the economy. Much more happens within communities and informally between people. Covid-19 has put a spotlight on the voluntary sector. It highlighted the sector’s vital contribution to unity, kindness and the wellbeing of New Zealanders. It mobilised younger people to fill in when vulnerable volunteers had to stand down. It saw whānau and friends uniting behind things that mattered most to them.

This year, National Volunteer Week coincides with the new public holiday for Matariki (24 June). Matariki is the time many

Māori and an ever-growing number of Tauiwi in Aotearoa and around the world gather family and friends and reflect on the

past, celebrate the present and plan for the future. This Te Wiki Tūao ā-Motu / National Volunteer week, the theme

is ‘Time to Shine / He wā pīataata.’ If you are one of those who has been thinking about getting involved in your community and making a difference, then the Volunteer Expo is a great place to start your search. This unique expo will take place on Saturday 25 June from 10am to 2pm at the Annesbrook Community Church, Saxton Road. The exhibitors are all community organisations that depend and need volunteers. It’s a great opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation about volunteering. There are over 30 community organisations to speak to, providing a wide range of opportunities. Nelson Tasman Hospice is a critical organisation for the region offering palliative care for an average of 240 patients monthly. Krisca Gould, the volunteering programme manager, says “Volunteers give their time to enhance our services. Some of our volunteers help free

up paid staff time, so staff can focus on key tasks.” One of these volunteers is Coral Haussmann who volunteers in the inpatient unit. She says, “My role is to have conversations with local people and I always go home with a big smile on my face. At the end of the day, I know I’ve done something really good for those people I’ve sat with, and for the community.” Volunteer Nelson is the hub for volunteering. Ellie Young, Community Coordinator at Volunteer Nelson, says “Volunteering is a great way to connect and participate in your community. It's a win for your own well-being and supports the mahi of local organisations." She encourages people to go to their website www.volunteernelson.org.nz and look at the opportunities on offer. Also, check out their Facebook page https://www. facebook.com/Volunteernelson Let’s take the time to reflect /

whaiwhakaaro on all those who give mahi aroha / volunteer for their communities. It’s a time to recognise and celebrate volunteers, a time to shine / pīataata.

It’s Matariki, a new year and a fresh start; a time to dream / moemoeā and make plans for the future. St John Nelson and Tasman Bays are thrilled to be launch-

ing the St John Therapy Pets Programme in the region and are currently recruiting volunteers with friendly pooches to join the team in bringing furry cuddles and huge smiles on the faces of

all they visit. Whether it’s wagging tails, nose boops, or nudging heads demanding all the pats, the power of pets on our well-being is huge! St John Therapy Pets Programme has more than 250 volunteers sharing their pets throughout New Zealand. Visiting schools, libraries, rest homes, hospitals and other health services, these furry friends can help children with their reading, boost wellbeing, ease loneliness, and provide distraction and comfort.

We would love to have you join us.” Email sarah.carpinter@stjohn. org.nz for more information on how you can help!

he charismatic and innovative, heart and soul of the business, Terry Knight, and his passionate team at Kiwi Spirit Distillery, are a proudly family-owned business based in beautiful Golden Bay. Specialising in creating boutique artisan spirits handcrafted from the purest of homegrown ingredients, the team say they have redefined what quality means. The delicate art of distilling has been in the family for decades, says sales director and Terry’s daughter, Isabella Knight, and the family live and breathe the ‘support local’ mantra, specialising in creating unique spirits crafted from the purest local ingredients on their purpose-built gardens and orchards with the only tequila farm in the world, outside of Mexico, housing their special Weber blue agave tequiliana plants along with a distillery and cellar door. Isabella says the cellar door is open for tastings seven days a week, from 10am through to 5pm, and encourages people to

If Terry is the original mastermind behind the award-winning business, then distillery manager and long-time family friend Sue Bensemann is the queen of distilling. The power duo has created a range of world-renowned and award-winning spirits including gins, vodka, liqueurs, schnapps, and their crowning glory, the country’s first blue agave spirit, TeKiwi Tequila - the first tequila in the world that has been grown and produced outside of Mexico.

Tasman boys and 10 Crusaders in the team.” Having spent the early part of this year down in Christchurch with the junior Crusaders, he says he was lucky not to have been working when he got the call up to get on a plane and join the team.

“I got a lot of messages and a couple of calls, it’s pretty unreal. . . I did get a text from my old boss when I was working. “We all got told four days before it came out publicly and were allowed to tell our immediate family.

State-of-the-art hoops donated to schools around the region JACK MALCOLM Excitement could be heard from schools all around the Nelson region as basketball stars came to town to open 11 brand new hoops. Tall Black Tom Abercrombie, Mainland Pouakai member Tessa Morrison, local NZ Breaker Finn Delany and a selection of Mike Pero Nelson Giants players were on-hand to christen the new hoops. The team of basketball professionals ran skills and drills sessions with students on the newly installed state-of-the art equipment, which was funded by the Basketball Development Nelson Trust with backing from the Lion Foundation. Nayland Primary, Nelson Central, Enner Glynn, St Joseph’s, Stoke and Nelson Intermediate schools were all donated the new hoops as part of a national programme by Basketball New Zealand. Finn says he wished he had hoops like these at school when he was growing up. “It’s a growing game and I’m sure they’ll get used a lot. It’s

“I told my nanna first, it was pretty emotional and I was pretty proud. The emotions were going, which is unusual for me.” Speaking before he left, he’s excited to be named for the first time in a national team. “It’s pretty exciting and pretty

cool. I’m looking forward to it all. Putting on that black jersey, I’m grateful.” Alongside the five members of the U20 All Blacks squad, Tyrel Lomax and Alex Nankivell were named in the Māori All Blacks squad ahead of their two match series with Ireland. Five Mako players were also named in the All Blacks squad, with winger Leicester Fainga’anuku the only new cap from the region. He joins fellow Mako halfback Finlay Christie, midfielder David Havili and wingers Will Jordan and Sevu Reece. Loose forward Ethan Blackadder missed selection after a seasonending shoulder injury in the Crusader’s semi-final win.

looked up to Tom as a player growing up himself, says it was surreal to be helping run a coaching session for kids alongside him. While he is part of the Giant’s coaching programmes run in schools throughout the region, he says this project is a bit more special. “I remember starting my basketball career in my last year of primary. “There’s only so much satisfaction you can get before you want to score a basket, it’s the best thing possible.”

Stoke concede to Wanderers JACK MALCOLM Despite an early lead, Stoke conceded a win to Wanderers in a nail-biting game of ‘old-school’ rugby on Saturday. It was however, a bittersweet victory for Wanderers, with co-captain Fletcher Matthews having to be helped from the field after a nasty collision in the dying minutes while playing in his 100th game for the club. With time all but up on the clock, Fletcher went into contact and the game immediately stopped because of concern about his safety. A stretcher was carried out, but ultimately Fletcher was able to make his way largely unassisted from the field and acknowledge the crowd as he headed straight to the sheds. Despite the late injury, Wanderers used their physicality throughout the game to pressure the Stoke defence and were able to find holes down the blind side. In the consistent drizzle, the ball-handling by both teams was top-notch as each squad was happy to give the ball some air and spread it wide. Stoke found success when they used their speed and ability to read the game, having raced out to an early 10-point lead on the back of a Corey McKay penalty

ON THE CHARGE: It was a monumental effort by Stoke halfback Mason Lund to earn a last play attempt to retake the lead that saw them march all the way to Wanderers line before being penalised. Photo: Barry Whitnall/Shuttersport. and Levi Carew on the end of a nice series of offloads after a runaway intercept. Wanderers, not to be outdone answered right back with a try from the rolling maul, but Stoke were quick to answer back with some slick passing down the blindside to take a 17-7 lead into the break.

The second half saw more of the same, with both teams eager to run the ball and put their opposites on the backfoot. Wanderers came out hot with two quick tries down the left-hand touch line to retake the lead and Stoke were unable to mount another point-scoring attack.

Fletcher’s injury and another stoppage in play for injury dragged out the final minutes, seeing Stoke work the ball from within their own half to be inches from the try line. A series of penalties had got them close, but they were unable to close out the game as Wanderers

earned a penalty with the backs against the line. Stoke coach Joe Kirker says he was gutted to not come away with the result after a great game. “It was going into some sort of old school footy, especially in the midfield in that boggy area. “We could have put in more deep kicks instead of trying to get behind the line, but that’s just options.” He said the return of props Matt Graham-Williams and Kilipati Lea was exciting to have back in the fold, and they delivered a good base to play attacking rugby. “It was always going to be hugely physically. “The comp is so exciting at the moment. There’s so many teams going for those last (playoff) spots).” In other results from round nine of the Tasman Trophy, Kahurangi put on a 50-0 win over Waimea Old Boys, Marist beat Waitohi 39-0, Central beat Renwick 60-0 and Nelson had a bye. This week Nelson play WOB on Friday afternoon at Neale Park, before Saturday sees Marist play Central at Trafalgar Park, Wanderers are at home to Waitohi, Stoke play host to Kahurangi. Next week, WOB play Marist in a night game on Tuesday and Kahurangi play Nelson in a night game on Wednesday.

A game-leading 35 points double-double from Jarrod West has seen the Mike Pero Nelson Giants beat the Wellington Saints 97-94. The victory sees them now placed fourth on the competition table behind team’s that have all played additional games. The team will be hoping to carry that momentum into their away game against the top-of-the-table Auckland Tuatara this Friday. Tia Nacagilevi’s 73kg snatch and 88kg clean and jerk earned her five national age-grade records and second place in the open women’s under-81kg class, at just 14-years-old. Photo: Jack Malcolm.

Young weightlifting star shines bright JACK MALCOLM Tia Nacagilevi knows she can lift even more after breaking five national age-grade records at the North Island Weightlifting Championships. The 14-year-old won the under-81kg junior U17 class with a combined score of 161kg from her two lifts. Her effort also secured a second-place finish in the open women’s class, following up a 73kg snatch with a 88kg clean and jerk. “I could’ve done more. On the day,

it was mental, all in your head.” Her personal best snatch is 80kg and her best clean and jerk is 90kg. With three years of experience in the sport, Tia says her goal is to win gold at the Olympics. She is training five times a week, having dropped netball and touch rugby to focus on weightlifting. “On my first competition, I felt like this is my sport. It’s different and not many people do it.” Tia’s success has already seen her land sponsorship opportunities, working with Injector Mentoring who she says have been a massive

support behind the scenes. Her short-term goal is to compete in the Youth World Championships, where she will need to complete grading to compete. She says her sporting idols are Megan Signal and Hayley Whiting because they are both top New Zealand lifters who have gone to higher-level competitions. Tia also wanted to thank her dad, Lester, and God for her success. You can follow all the ups and downs of Tia’s journey and the behind-the-scenes of competing on her Instagram social media account, @tia_lifting_journey.

First XV Rugby

Nelson College will be hoping to carry the momentum from their 20-7 win over the previously unbeaten Christchurch Boys High School into their Tuesday morning game against Selwyn College. The quick turnaround will be good practice for the upcoming Quadrangular tournament in Whanganui to end the month. In other results from the weekend’s first XV competition, Waimea Combined Barbarians went down in a 47-7 loss to St Thomas of Canterbury and Marlborough Boys College lost 20-15 to Timaru Boys High School.

Netball

Jacks OPD are now the team to beat in premier netball after a come-from-behind 58-56 win

over Prices Waimea Ahurei last week. It was a bitter-sweet evening for the NBS premier netball league, with Jacks B and Nayland College exiting the competition as the two lowest-performing teams after one round of play. In other matchups of the round, FCL Nelson Men saw Jacks B off with a one-sided 82-15 scoreline, while Nayland couldn’t follow through with their hot start in a 62-35 loss to Richmond F45 and Prices Waimea Pango lost to Nelson College for Girls Senior A 5046.

It was a clash between thirdplaced Nelson Suburbs Seals and second-placed Rangers FC, with playoff implications, where the Nelson side took home a 5-2 win. In other games of the round, Fresh Choice Richmond beat Sheehan Financial FC Nelson 1st XI 3-2, Sprig and Fern Tahuna beat FC Nelson Karenni 2-0 and Nelson Suburbs development beat ITM Motueka 2-1.

Rugby club to foster women’s participation MAX FRETHEY The Nelson Rugby Football Club has secured $25,030 of funding from the New Zealand Community Trust (NZCT) to help encourage female participation in sport. Director of rugby Gary Stevens says the money will go towards salaries for a women’s rugby director and club champion to enhance the club’s women’s programme as current options for women are limited. “While many opportunities exist for young men to engage in both amateur sports and as a professional pathway, they are limited for our young women,” he says. “We’re just trying to add a programme that’s going to benefit them.” Gary says that he wants to stop the decline of young women participating in sports and thinks that can be done through rugby’s popularity. “Since rugby is our major sport both in terms of participation and internationally, we have a perfect opportunity to assist in arresting the decline in sport participation.”

“Participating in sport, in particular team sports, help builds confidence in lots

Kelly Mahuika and Gary Stevens hope that they can encourage more young women to engage in sports with the help of a $25,000 grant. Photo: Max Frethey. However, Gary acknowledges that it will be a difficult job and he says he plans on working with many community groups and schools to promote women’s sport. Kelly Mahuika from the Whakatū Girls Rugby Trust is one of the people Gary will be cooperating with as he develops his programme. She says Gary’s co-operative approach to addressing declining female participation in sport is

the way to go. “Having organisations in the community that work together, we’re always going to get better results.” From her own observations, Kelly says that it seems like girls begin to drop out of sports because of a drop in confidence as they begin to go through puberty. However, she thinks that fostering comradery in a team environment could help rebuild confidence for many girls.

of ways,” she says. “You would hopefully worry less about what others around would think.” Registrations for the twoday camp will open in the next cou-

ple of weeks and will be held at the Stoke Rugby Club. For more information, you can find the Whakatū Girls Rugby Trust on Facebook.

Nelson Netball Nelson Netball season off to a roaring start Nelson’s netball season is well underway, and all the grades from juniors right through to premier are pumping. With a new general manager at the helm in Ani-Marie Waitai and an eager group of staff and volunteers behind her, local netball is on the up and up. After back-to-back seasons that were cut short due to interruptions with Covid-19, this year has already contained a blockbuster of action. In the premier grade, the teams have not only had to deal with the standard fare of player unavailabilities but an ongoing pandemic and self-isolating have also created an exciting and ever-changing league.

This season, all the teams have struggled with players, with Prices Waimea Ahurei having been unable to field their full squad so far this season. The format has made for some exciting action, with some teams having to scramble to find players at the last minute, which has evened the playing field. “It’s taught a lot of resilience and how strong your entire team is. This is the situation and we’ve got to deal with it and step up,” says Ani-Marie. As part of dealing with the ongoing issues with player availability, Nelson Netball centre has updated their player dispensation processes to allow teams to use players from different grades more easily.

It’s one of the small changes this season that have already gone a long way in changing people’s enjoyment of the sport, Ani-Marie says. “It’s a different kind of vibe of netball this year. . . It’s a relaxed day atmosphere so people go home having enjoyed it.” They have also introduced changes that extended time between games and gave teams more of a chance to do their

warm-up and cool-downs on court. “It’s made the games office a lot more relaxed and not as hectic. “Parking seems easier too. . . and people on umpire duty for the next game have more time so people aren’t rushing from place to place.” Ani-Marie says that the minor changes they have made reflect their intentions to continue looking at how to mix things

up. The new team was appointed just ahead of this season and with insufficient time to make major changes, instead choosing to see how their small updates were received, she says. “We’re looking for feedback from the community on what they want. We’re learning and trying to adapt. “Next year, we’re looking at different ways to do things. “It’s all about giving things a go, and if they don’t work it doesn’t work, and that’s okay.” Ani-Marie says, while they are looking at doing things a little bit differently, they are still very clear on maintaining the core identity of netball in the region. “We’re all about change; but also not taking away from our traditions, which are an integral part of what we’re about.” Saturday netball is also going from strength to strength, with

every weekend so far having exciting action on the courts despite some not so exciting weather. With the adult and top two collegiate grades inside and everyone else exposed to the elements on the outdoor courts, netball in the region is looking strong. While participation is slightly down on previous years throughout the grades,

the loss of players has been far less than what they expected, having essentially missed back-to-back seasons. Ani says the support they’ve had from everyone in the community, from their sponsors to supporters, has been outstanding. She wanted to thank their ongoing support of the sport for helping Nelson Netball to continue being

able to offer the game to anyone who wants to play. “The feeling we get this year is people are really happy to be there and playing netball. “People are starting to see the bigger picture and see what we’re here for, which at the end of the day is growing a lifelong love of netball.”

Young hockey player set to chase her dreams in America JACK MALCOLM Jessica Davidson is counting down the days until she gets on a jet to play and study on American soil in August. The young hockey player was awarded a scholarship to the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where she will play for the Crimson Hawks and study psychology. She says it’s exciting to be nearly on her way after Covid-19 put her plans on the back burner for a year. “I was actually going to put it off until next year but the coach reached out (from Indiana University of Pennsylvania) and it’s one of the best in the conference.” With a passion for hockey and further study, Jessica says she can’t wait to start the journey. Jessica is a former Nelson College for Girls student, a current Federal Hockey player and coach, and has represented Nelson Hockey Association and the Tasman region since 2014. As a South African-born New Zealand immigrant, she says she can’t wait to meet new people in a new place again. “I’m looking forward to meeting new people and different cultures.

I’m not from here originally, and when I moved it was exciting.” Jessica used an agency to help prepare her for applying and progressing through her scholarship applications. “I was doing NCEA and SATs at the same time in year 13. I was balancing everything. “Studying, talking to coaches and playing for three teams, it was a lot.” She says finding the agency, Crimson Education, sold her on how good of an opportunity it was and that it was something actually achievable. While she is studying, she also plans to take interest papers in business and coaching, which she says she hopes to take back to New Zealand one day. “They have really good coaching courses over there. “I want to come back, or maybe stay over there, doing child psychology.” As a player, she says the scholarship is the next stage of her journey to reach her ambitions and goals. “I would love to play at a high level and for New Zealand one day. “This is one of the steps to get there.”
