One of these activities is a Life Skills Camp held at the New Zealand Defence Force base in Burnham. This programme specialises in building self-respect, respect for others, working within boundaries, self-care, team work and problem solving for 14 to 17 year olds. Kaydence Reihana, a 17-year old who this year is returning to Ellesmere College, attended the last Life Skills Camp for 2017. At the conclusion of the course, Kaydence was awarded a top prize of ‘Overall Course Award’. Kaydence beat a strong group of young people, from various towns around the South Island, to take this prize. Cave Stream exit The Blue Light Life Skills Co-ordinator, Hannah Ward, commented that “Kaydence was chosen by his peers for demonstrating leadership skills, self-confidence and team work, was always respectful to staff and fellow course members and ultimately the person you would love to have in your group”. Kaydence and the other participants stayed at the Burnham Military camp for the week-long program, living, eating and interacting with army personnel.

    New Zealand: Background and Bilateral Relations with the United States

    New Zealand: Background and Bilateral Relations with the United States Bruce Vaughn Specialist in Asian Affairs May 27, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL32876 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress New Zealand: Background and Bilateral Relations with the United States Summary New Zealand is increasingly viewed as a stalwart partner of the United States that welcomes U.S. presence in its region. New Zealand and the United States enjoy very close bilateral ties across the spectrum of relations between the two countries. These ties are based on shared cultural traditions and values as well as on common interests. New Zealand is a stable and active democracy with a focus on liberalizing trade in the Asia-Pacific region. New Zealand also has a history of fighting alongside the United States in most of its major conflicts including World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. New Zealand is a regular contributor to international peace and stability operations and has contributed troops to the struggle against militant Islamists in Afghanistan, where it has a Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) in Bamiyan Province. The bilateral relationship between the United States and New Zealand was strengthened significantly through the signing of the Wellington Declaration in November 2010. At that time, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and New Zealand Prime Minister John Key signaled that past differences over nuclear policy have been set aside as the two described the relationship as the strongest and most productive it has been in 25 years. In the mid-1980s New Zealand adopted a still-in-effect policy of not allowing nuclear armed or nuclear powered ships to visit New Zealand ports.
