Krystie Soloman is turning heads in the track and field world.

The 17-year-old won national club championships in the under 18s two years in a row and placed third in the under 20s group this year.

Now the Sacred Heart Girls' College student is being flooded with track and field scholarship offers.

She has been approached from public and private universities in the United States with grants as high as $300,000.

Solomoan said she is looking forward to improving her personal best times and "becoming the best athlete and runner I can be.”

She said she was so grateful to be given the chance to compete overseas and push her body to the limit.

"I don't know where that will take me, whether that be the Commonwealth or Olympic stage, but I know that I want to get as close as I can to those world’s fastest athletes and have the potential to be so much faster than I am today. "

Hi everyone,
With Christmas fast approaching, we'd be keen to hear from those who spend the festive season (or part of it) away each year. Where do you go and why?

Christmas Tree Culture Old and New

Zingela Property Management Ltd

Renowned for its vibrant colour and its ability to survive even perched on rocky, precarious cliffs, the pohutukawa has found an important place in New Zealand culture for its strength and beauty, and is regarded as a chiefly tree (rākau rangatira) by Māori. The blossom of the tree is called … View moreRenowned for its vibrant colour and its ability to survive even perched on rocky, precarious cliffs, the pohutukawa has found an important place in New Zealand culture for its strength and beauty, and is regarded as a chiefly tree (rākau rangatira) by Māori. The blossom of the tree is called kahika.
The tree flowers from November to January with a peak in early summer (mid to late December), with brilliant crimson flowers covering the tree, hence the nickname New Zealand Christmas tree.
The New Zealand Christmas tree is a coastal evergreen tree in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, that produces a brilliant display of red (or occasionally orange, yellow or white) flowers.

The pohutukawa grows up to 25 metres (82 ft) high, with a spreading, dome-like form. It usually grows as a multi-trunked spreading tree. Its trunks and branches are sometimes festooned with matted, fibrous aerial roots. The oblong, leathery leaves are covered in dense white hairs underneath.

In New Zealand, the pohutukawa is under threat from browsing by the introduced common brushtail possum which strips the tree of its leaves.

A charitable conservation trust, Project Crimson, is working towards the reversing of the decline of the pohutukawa.

A landmark to go view is the giant pohutukawa at Te Araroa on the East Coast is reputed to be the largest in the country, with a height of 20 metres and a spread of 38 metres (125 ft).
