Let's make sure we all arrive alive to where we need to go by following these four simple and proven road safety actions:
- Make sure everyone has their seatbelts on
- Remove distractions and stay focused on driving
- Don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking or are tired
- Drive at a safe speed for the conditions
With severe and changeable weather forecast for across the country the following winter driving tips are equally important as well.
The only way we can reduce unnecessary road deaths and injuries is by working together to be safe, considerate and alert on the roads. If you spot dangerous driving behaviour or urgent but not life threatening driving incidents you can report it to the New Zealand Police by calling *555 for free from any mobile device.
Have a great long weekend!

Ordered a DVD from Aust. on May 1st, was despatched May 2nd, tracked, arrived in NZ two days later and still waiting for NZ Post to deliver.

Took 11 days for a birthday gift to go from ChCh to Wellington missing the all important birthday. What are your experiences and should we have to put up with this terrible service.

It was a lot of work behind the scenes to get broad agreement but they will also work in well with the small cosmetic changes that will be happening hopefully soon e.g. painting of the bench seats etc.
It's also been good to hear of the progress on the old library site. The plans are getting worked on with council, the village mall business assoc, the Bishopdale MenzShed and Chris from the Bishopdale community trust

Christchurch and Banks Peninsula residents are being urged to check their wheelie bins have been electronically tagged because untagged bins will soon stop being emptied.
For the past three years Waste Management Limited has been carrying out a stocktake of the city’s wheelie bins on Christchurch City Council’s behalf.
As part of the stocktake, they have been fitting the wheelie bins allocated to each property with a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag that emits a short range signal. The signal can be picked up by the kerbside collection trucks and used to identify if a bin is on a property where it does not belong.
The RFID tags will help identify lost or stolen bins and reduce the cost of the kerbside collection by ensuring that only bins that people are entitled to, and have paid for, are being emptied.
“We are nearing the end of the stocktake which means that most people’s wheelie bins should have been tagged by now. You can tell if your bin has been tagged because it will have a small reflective sticker on the side,’’ says Council Solid Waste Manager Ross Trotter.
“As we have over 475,000 bins in our collection service it is possible that some bins may have been missed in the stocktake, so if you can’t find a sticker on your wheelie bin, it is important you go to our website and fill out the online form(external link) to avoid the inconvenience of your bin not being emptied.
“If you can’t go online, you can call our contact centre on 941-8999 and one of our customer services team will fill in the form for you,’’ Mr Trotter says.
“Now is also the time to let us know about any extra bins that you may have so we can arrange to remove them.
“Going forward only bins that residents are entitled to and that are tagged to their properties will be collected. It is important to identify which bins are yours and ensure you are not mixing them up with your neighbours. Any bins that are located without RFID tags will be removed or will no longer get emptied,'' Mr Trotter says.
Christchurch residents are being urged to spend some time clearing leaves from their gutters and drains as the city could get some stormy weather over the holiday weekend.

Our Term 3 courses are due to begin week of 29 July and run for 7 weeks.
Tutors are required to have demonstrable knowledge of the subject being taught. For many courses this may be the result of your own particular work experience, formal education and training or self-directed knowledge. Most tutors are not expected to hold a formal teaching qualification. Tutors must have NZ citizenship, residency or a valid NZ work visa.
Our current tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds – they are people who may have a special talent, skills or set of ideas that can be passed on to others. The basic requirements are a love for your subject and a desire to share this expertise and a willingness to learn.
If you would like to offer a course or would like further information then please contact our office either via phone 033520701 or email Barbara Roper rpb@papanui.school.nz
