Mrs Dayaram says she is committed to supporting, developing and growing youth in Te Awamutu. “I want to give students insight and exposure to career options. “The programme gives them a chance to meet industry professionals and get work experience. “This is what sustainability and community looks like. “CHT can’t just exist as a facility — we need to invest in the community.

Boaties offered crossing lesson

Raglan Coastguard is running its latest Raglan Bar crossing awareness day on Sunday, October 8 with support from Waikato Regional Council’s mari- time services team. The day gives boaties a chance to learn about how to cross the bar safely so they and family and friends can return home safe at the end of the day. The event will be held at the Raglan Bowling Club. Registration starts at 8.30am with the day starting at 9am. Pre-registration is mandatory and can be done via [email protected] or by phoning 07 825 8089. The cost is $35 pre- paid or $40 cash on the day. The seminar is suitable for all boaties interested in increasing their boating skills and knowledge of crossing bars safely. It will cover topics such as skipper responsibility, safe boating practices and local area information that are key parts of crossing the Raglan Bar safely. A trip across the bar is also included in the Raglan Coastguard rescue vessel so all attendees need to bring their lifejacket. A council harbourmaster will be at the event to discuss navigation safety and answer questions. What do you think? TEXT US NOW ON 021 241 4568
