We are excited to be welcoming back our students from Japan and are currently looking for families who would be keen to host a 16-17 year old female Japanese high school student from April 12 ( after Easter) this year until March 12, 2024.
If you have a spare room, would like to share our kiwi culture, learn more about Japan and earn some extra money, then hosting could be a great opportunity for you. We offer great support and can provide temporary accommodation for your host daughter throughout the year if necessary.

Recent amendments have been made to The Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Amendment Act to limit nicotine in products and cease supply to those born in/after 2009. Less retailers are to be approved and product packaging made less appealing.
Until March 15, public submissions will accepted regarding these changes, especially around the location and quantity of retail stores as well as the appeal and addictiveness of smoked tobacco products.

Discover a great natural “medicine” to heal the body, mind and spirit
Gather the universal energy for rejuvenation
Enhancing your health, immune system, spine, flexibility, serenity, relaxation, pelvic floor muscles, core strength, energy, wellbeing and inner joy
Qigong is an ancient Chinese holistic therapy. It is the foundation to Tai Chi, but relatively simpler than Tai Chi.
Qigong includes dynamic and static forms.
Zhineng Qigong emphasises moving meditation rather than static meditation.
It uses the consciousness, body, breath, sound vibration and universal Qi(energy) to bring about a positive transformation of the body, mind and spirit.
“Since beginning Qigong, my asthma gradually got better, and my breathing has improved. I no longer take any medication for asthma.
My food intolerances have gradually resolved and I can now eat most of the foods that used to cause problems for me.
My energy levels have improved and my right hip pain is hardly noticeable.
My body feels light and I can often feel the qi moving through.
I feel much calmer and any anxiety I had is gone.”
~ Vicki Parr
“The gentle movements stretch every muscle in my body although they look very simple. My muscles feel stronger, and I am mentally stronger too. While practicing, I feel the sense of “unity with the universe.”
~ Susan Sky
“Through regular qigong practice, my back pain is healed and my spine is more flexible. I had also been suffering severe shoulder pain for months. Just like a miracle, after one qigong class the pain had gone. The pain did come back a couple of days later, but much milder. After regular practice, I am pain free. This was a wow fact for me. I LOVE the feeling of connection to the Universal Qi, and would like to share qigong with others.”

A decaying pond in a city park has been transformed after a 6-year-old girl wrote to the council begging them to clean it up.
Every time Sophie Marston visited Holliss Reserve in south Christchurch she would get upset about the state of the pond.
It was full of mud, leaves and rubbish, and she felt sorry for the ducks and eels.
She felt so strongly about it that she decided to write a letter to the Christchurch City Council.
In the letter, which she wrote in July, Sophie asked the council to come and clean the pond up so the ducks could have somewhere clean to live.
“Whenever I go to Holliss Ave Park and I look at the pond I feel sorry for the ducks and eels because it is full of mud, leaves and rubbish.
“Please could you clean the pond up and so the ducks can have somewhere clean to live.”
In early December, about five months after receiving the letter, the council cleaned out the pond.
Sophie, who is now 7, said she was happy the ducks had a nice clean home to live in again.
Her father Tim Marston said Sophie was quite proud of herself.
They were at the park on Saturday and overheard a family talking about how good the pond was looking.
“I said to Sophie that ‘even a little 7-year-old can make something really cool happen’.”
Council community parks manager Al Hardy said the pond had accumulated excessive amounts of organic matter which had detracted from the pond’s visual quality.
“We found the pond otherwise healthy, with roughly 600 fish (including eels) being re-homed to the Heathcote River, as part of the clean-up of the pond.”
He said the council received Sophie’s letter at the same time the team was working to resolve the issue.
“It’s great to see young people taking an interest in community parks and we want to thank her for highlighting this issue to us.”
Cashmere ward councillor Tim Scandrett said the state of the pond had been an issue for a while, with a number of people commenting to him about it.
He had previously raised it with staff and it was likely to be an ongoing problem.
He said it was wonderful that Sophie was concerned enough to do something about it and that she had the family support to do it.
