Today I am thankful that we live in NZ during Peace Time.
Thank you to all those who served and sacrificed with their own lives or by being the ones who were to stay at home and farewell their husbands, sons, brothers, and friends.
Thank you to all those who continue to protect the innocent, who fight for injustice on every level and who bring peace wherever they can.
We don't have to go to fight in some horrid war to stand up for someone being mistreated - we don't have to leave our shores to fight for injustice or to bring peace to people.
If they did this for me and for my family, what can I do to respect what they did?
No greater love has someone that he should lay down his life for his brother/friend/stranger and in our case for people who are not even born yet.
Sincere thanks and today I choose to remember you and give thanks and say I am sorry that you had to suffer.
The first three pictures are the ghosts of soldiers silently standing over their graves in the St John's Churchyard, Slimbridge. It floors you to silence and moves you to tears. Well done creator Jackie
Lantelli, for a stunning tribute to those who gave their lives 💜
The photo of the crosses is from the Auckland Domain where there is a cross for every soldier who died in WWI. 18, 277 crosses are there to see. The second photo shows the section for the brothers from one family.
A special place for 2 brothers, then 3 brothers and then would you believe, families who lost 4 brothers.
I can not even begin to imagine.
Peace and Courage to you

Hi everyone, my daughter is wanting to see her wedding dress. Was purchased at the Bridal shop in Taradale 7 yrs ago for $2100.00 and is a size Aus 8.
Has been kept in a smoke free home and in its original cover (which has a slight rip in it now).
Please feel free to ask questions.

The fighting ceased at 11am, but not before it claimed a toll of more than 18,000 New Zealanders’ lives, of 100,000 in total (or ten per cent of the population at the time) who served overseas including 425 soldiers from the Hastings district.
Today at 11am on 11 November, throughout Aotearoa New Zealand we will mark the centenary of the Armistice that ended the First World War in 1918 with a two minute silence of remembrance. This silence will be broken by a “Roaring Chorus” of joyful noise, echoing the celebrations of 100 years ago when people fill the streets in a spontaneous and jubilant celebration at news of the war’s end.

Commencing 10:30am
Free buses will be provided – one departing 9.45am at Havelock North domain at the Te Mata Rd bus stop, and one at the Flaxmere shopping village, also at 9.45am.
In memory of the ones who did not make it home. We will remember them.

Some of you may be aware halfway during this year I have had the privilege of becoming a Funeral Celebrant. The families I have met have all been beautiful. It has been a privilege to learn about their loved one and help create a service so together we have been able to honour the deceased by telling stories and sharing our tributes. The funeral and memorial services have been done tastefully and creatively in such a way that the family members and friends can come away feeling as 'whole' as they can as they move forward knowing they did a good job.
After journeying with these families and after watching my own family say our final Goodbyes to close relatives, I have done some research. I have taken advice from doctors, and counsellors and psychologists and other Celebrants and can see some common areas of information that would be helpful for people to have thought about before a bereavement happens.
I have prepared a 'How To Stay Well During Times of Bereavement' public talk that comes with handouts, as well as an easy to read document that people can fill in for themselves which gives whanau and family a chance to find out their wishes should they die. It is a little like preparing our Emergency/Earthquake kits. Think about it, pack it, and park it. Pull it out if and when you need it. Much of the information will be helpful not only when there is a death, but for many situations of stress and anxiety or acute difficulty.
This presentation is a friendly positive way of giving people useful information that can be so incredibly helpful at a time when there is so much to do and complicated things to be thinking about.
For those of you interested in coming and hearing about How To Stay Well During Times of Bereavement and how to keep your family and friends well, can you please comment below or PM me on what days and times of the day might best suit you. If we get enough people interested, I will aim to find a time and place that works for you. If you belong to a community group or a workplace that is interested, I am currently taking bookings for next year. Depending on the type of group there will a no cost or small cost to cover expenses. I can confirm costs once we have a date and venue and I know how many people are keen.
Looking forward to hearing days and times that will work best for you.
Kind regards
Rhonda Diprose

As many of your High School students are heading into NCEA exams next week, I thought I would put out a some information that might be helpful for parents and guardians if you are wanting to help your kids be prepared for success. These are ideas as I understand them and hope they are still correct and helpful.
As a Supervisor and teacher, I personally think it is helpful for students to have the following items, some are compulsory
and some will not be allowed in if they are not as per the rules.
1. Not compulsory but helpful,
Drink Sipper bottle (not a wide open neck, must be like a sipper top in case it topples over). The bottle is not allowed a branding or words on it at all and the Supervisor may well remove the bottle it even has branding or even a name on it. My advice is to use the PUMP bottles, and peel the plastic sticker off them. The proper PUMP bottles are better than the cheaper non branded PUMP bottles as the PUMP ones hold their shape when they are empty and the plastic label comes off easily and cleanly. The cheaper one leaves a big sticky mess and does not hold it's shape when empty so falls over.
JERSEY OR SWEATSHIRT even on a hot day is sensible as sometimes the air con goes on or there is a draft and some students end up shivering because they are caught in the cold stream. NO JACKETS OR BLAZERS ARE ALLOWED IN AND YOU CAN WEAR NON UNIFORM ITEMS IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SCHOOL JUMPER.
2. No writing is allowed on rulers, pens etc, and no writing on the calculators either. Make sure there is no twink, etching of words on the calculator covers. (Please tell your kids if there is a problem with their calculator or pen etc, to ask for help, it might well be a supervisor can give them what they need.)
2. Tell your kids not to write on their hands or arms, including after they have finished their exam and might be scribbling waiting to be released. Someone may think the doodles were there before and seen as some form of cheating.
3. A second calculator is allowed as are spare batteries.
4. Ears must be checked upon entry. (listening devices nowadays come wireless so we have to check ears!)
5. They are allowed an Emergency Kit in a clear plastic bag under their seats. This could be inhaler, car keys etc.
6. All pens etc should be in a CLEAR PLASTIC BAG WITH NO WRITING, NOT EVEN THE WORDS GLAD. (To be honest, I think some supervisors turn a blind eye to this one but have seen some bags rejected at the door because of the word GLAD).
7. Please help your kids to get to the exam 30 minutes before it starts as sometimes it takes 20 minutes or more to get them all into the hall to be seated at the correct seat. They all have to sit exactly where their booklets are with their own personal ID number on them. This means they should line up according to the seating plan which will be posted outside the exam room.
8. Please tell your kids that they are allowed to go to the toilet if they need to but it is only after I think the first 45 minutes and not in the last 30 minutes (or something like that). They must find out exactly which toilet they are to go to as one student last year went to the wrong toilet on the other side of the school and was in danger of being disqualified or at least the work he did after he came back could have been called into question.
9. MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THEIR SLIP OF PAPER WITH THEIR PERSONAL INFO ON IT AND WHAT EXAMS THEY ARE SITTING AND WHEN. THEY MUST HAVE THIS FOR EVERY EXAM.
10. If for some reason you are away or not able to get to the planned NCEA place where you were expecting to sit the exam, it is possible to go and sit on the correct date and time at another school also sitting that exam - you will need to find out, where and when and if you can give them warning you are doing this, all the better, but it is possible. Some people suddenly find they have to be away from where they were to sit, e.g. a funeral. You will be best to contact your school as soon as possible or your nearest school or contact NCEA directly for more information.
Lastly, I would encourage you to be positive with your kids, help them to make sure they are in the best possible frame of mind and have physically got everything they need. I know they are big people, but this can be a stressful time for them and they may need a little extra TLC and help to make sure they are well fed, kids do better when they are not hungry etc, well hydrated and are leaving the house knowing they are loved and can go and do their best with your support.
Most of our kids have worked hard all year. NCEA is a monster of a process. Many of them are still finishing internals or have just finished. They have had pressure on them all year round and it is not like when we were kids, with a big burst at the end of the year. Let's help our kids get over this last set of hurdles in the best possible way we can. Good Luck Everyone!
