A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.

The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.

The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'

Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!

Alternative education supports North Canterbury youth

By David Hill, Local Democracy Reporter

Tucked away on a four hectare block between Kaiapoi and Rangiora is a new alternative education programme for students who struggle to fit into the mainstream.

The Noaia Charitable Trust, based at Tuahiwi, took over the North Canterbury alternative education programme from Rangiora High School in term one.

It now takes in up to 16 students aged 13 to 16 years from Kaiapoi and Rangiora High Schools, Oxford, Amuri and Cheviot area schools, Hurunui College and Rangiora New Life School.

Programme manager Jackie Freeman said the small numbers makes it easier to cater to the students’ individual learning needs, including supporting them to earn NCEA credits.

‘‘We do an individual learning plan for each of our young people.

‘‘There is a misconception only naughty kids access alternative education, but there is a range of reasons why young people come here.’’

Most of the students are neurodiverse or kinesthetic learners (learning through physical activity), and often both, she said.

‘‘We are able to identify when the kids are getting frustrated or struggling with their work as soon as it happens, due to having smaller numbers.
‘‘We can see the bubble before it turns into a geyser.’’

Students can attend the Ruataniwha programme anywhere from one term or up to three years.

The programme can support students to transition back to school or into work or further study options.

‘‘We can be what we need to be for each of the individuals.’’

Mrs Freeman said the funding allowed her to employ one full-time and two part-time tutors and she looked for particular skill-sets.

This included a background of working with children through trauma, or working in youth justice or pastoral care roles.

Transport is provided to get the students to school on time, with breakfast provided thanks to the Sanitarium Breakfast Club.

Lunches are also provided, with fresh vegetables from a big, one acre garden.

‘‘One of our tutors is an amazing cook, so the students are so spoilt,’’ Freeman said.

The Noaia Charitable Trust was established five years ago by local Whānau and offers learning which is underpinned by kaupapa Māori philosophy.

It also offers the E Tū Rangatira training programme with up to 16 places for rangitahi Māori aged 16 to 24 years.

Those students can complete a New Zealand Certificate in building or agriculture and are supported into employment or further training.

The 4-hectare property has sheep and cows, with students involved in farm work and in practical work around the property, such as landscaping and building a laneway and stockyards as part of their learning.

Rangiora High School announced last year it was withdrawing from being a provider of alternative education services.

The school has developed its own programme to support year 9 and 10 students, which is funded by the board of trustees.
