Changing Faces - Warkworth Driving Academy
Anette Goetter
Anette Goetter felt it was time for a change after five years working at Amberlea Rest Home, when the Warkworth Driving Academy came up for sale.
She is now a fully qualified driving instructor and a member of the NZ Institute of Driver Educators. In addition, she has 40 years of driving experience.
Securing the instructor qualification required her to resit her driver’s licence test, so she has an appreciation of what students have to experience today.
Anette also understands that teaching your own children to drive can be tough.
“Things can get heated, and after a short while they think they know it all. But learning from a third party seems to put teenagers at ease.”
Anzac Day services
After two years of official ANZAC services being disrupted due to the Christchurch mosque attacks and Covid-19, the region’s service and parade organisers are looking forward to a return to normal this year. Matakana School got the ball rolling on April 9, when students gathered at the village war memorial to lay a wreath and pay their tributes to those who served. For a full guide to local services, see below.
After two years of cancellations due to the Christchurch mosque attacks and Covid-19, official Anzac Day parades and services are set to be back in full swing this year. Stand at Dawn will be happening again this year and is expected to be broadcast on TV and radio for people who cannot attend services.
Splash of cash for Kowhai swimmers
Mahurangi Community Trading Post committee presents a cheque to the Kowhai Swimming Club.
The Mahurangi Community Trading Post donated $5000 to the Kowhai Swimming Club this month.
The money will be used to replace worn out lane dividers at the Mahurangi College pool where the swimmers train.
Swim coach Jill Fayerman says new thicker dividers will help swimmers by reducing “wash” caused by the wake of other swimmers.
She says dividers are particularly important for keeping juniors swimming in a straight line.
The club has a competitive squad, a junior squad and also hosts training for Omaha surf lifesaving juniors.
