It’s a big deal. Tertiary study plus a student loan? Or something completely different? Like a job where they can earn and learn, gain national qualifications and build a great career in aviation, tourism, travel, retail and retail supply chain or hospitality.

We’re offering Neighbourly members a 2 for 1 deal on our Mobiliser which helps relieve back, shoulder and neck pain.
The Mobiliser is a flat bed with rollers that run up your spine and gently push you out of a hunched position; this stretches your spine's connective tissue and relieves pain. The Mobiliser is a treatment that’s been tested and approved by the British Military.
All profits from this promotion will go to the SPCA!
Contact us on info@featherstonpainclinic.co.nz or (04) 385 6446.
