My name is Jason Watson. I work in the Canterbury District Health Board. My wife and I have just returned from a trip to Samoa. After Cyclone Gita hit Samoa in February this year, we coordinated the collection, transport and distribution of well over two containers of school/office equipment to Manamolu Baptist School in Apia. The school had four feet of water run through their buildings and much of their equipment was damaged/destroyed.
The equipment we sent over included some old CDHB Laptops, which the school uses to teach the students keyboard skills and basic computing. They have a few, but really want a full compliment so each student in the computer class can use a computer.
Are there any older but still functioning Laptops that need a new home? Even Laptops with Windows XP could be a great help to this school. If you would like to know more, or have an older Laptop to give away, please contact me. Jason 0275844562.
Got any great ways we can all help the environment? Any green tips, tricks or habits that others might not know about? Share them on our page, and you could win one of 10 Countdown gift cards, worth $100 each! It’s all part of our commitment to helping our environment thrive.

• In general you’re entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave each year after you’ve worked for your employer for 6 months.
• You can accumulate any unused sick leave up to a total of 20 days.
• Sick leave can be used when you’re sick or when you need to be off work to look after someone else who is sick or injured (your partner, child, or someone who relies on you for care).
• Even if you’re a part-time or casual worker, you’re still entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave a year (once you’ve worked for 6 months continuously or for an average of 10 hours per week, and at least one hour in every week or 40 hours in every month).
• Your employer can require you to provide a medical certificate if you’re sick for 3 or more days in a row, and you’ll need to pay to get it. If they want proof of sickness sooner then they will have to pay the costs of getting the proof.
These are the minimum sick leave entitlements. Your employer can agree to give you more.
Check out our website for more information about sick leave and other employment rights and responsibilities. If you’ve got questions get in touch with a CAB near you, call us on 0800 367 222 (0800 FOR CAB), or contact us online.
