Mathew Jack experienced this first hand when he took a course in heavy automotive engineering at our Timaru campus. After Mathew completed his eight-month course, he found employment with Smallbone in Ashburton, where he lives.
He says the “excellent training” he received prepared him well for the job. “It set me up to excel in an exciting and demanding career.” In Timaru, we’ve got programmes in engineering trades, electrical, automotive and painting and decorating starting in February. You can learn all about them here.

This monument is rare both nationally and internationally and built in 1937 by E.B. Millton
It is our duty as horse lovers to remember the 10,000 horses who left our shores to serve in horrific conditions. They deserved a medal but were never given one.

Hi neighbours,
Is it time to ban the private sale of fireworks in favour of public displays only? Or is Guy Fawkes just a bit of flammable fun?
Would you like to see tighter restrictions on fireworks or are you a sparkler fiend who sees no problem with celebrating safely at home?

The Hanmer Heritage Forest has been made more appealing for families with the addition of nine new sculptures along the Forest Amble walk, including a big friendly giant, some enormous mushrooms, a falcon, and a dog.
"It has now become a journey of discovery, with the animals and birds and other surprises strategically placed along the walk," Hanmer Heritage Forest Trust president Pauline Bennett says.
