OTAMATEA CHRISTIAN SCHOOL OPEN DAY Friday 3rd of December,

9am to 12.00 noon

Otamatea Christian School is a Private School nestled behind the Congregational Church

overlooking the beautiful rural community of Maungaturoto.Our school provides a solid foundational Christian Education. The Year 13, Accelerated

Christian Education Certificate (A.C.E) is recognised by universities and higher learning in-stitutes throughout New Zealand.

At Otamatea Christian School our desire is to build in students a life-long burning passion tolearn and grow spiritually. It is one thing to want children to be successful and quite anotherto provide the academic and character training to ensure this accomplishment.

Our unique program consists of a mastery-based curriculum and materials that are phonicsbased, self-instructional, character building and individually prescribed.

Whether the student is a high achiever, a moderately paced learner, or a slow learner, theA.C.E. educational process begins at the exact level determined by the childs ability. Indi-vidualised programs of study make it possible for each student to master the subject matterbefore moving on. Such mastery is the foundation upon which all future learning is built.

We offer a Free Diagnosis and Prescription: Is your child really mastering basic Math, English and Spelling skills? Could there be learn-

ing gaps that have not been identified? Successful completion of this diagnostic indicatesreadiness for high school. Please phone the school to make an appointment for this diagnos-tic.

Scholarships: These will be available to apply for in 2011.

We would welcome your visit on our open day or any enquiries you may have about theschool. Should you wish to arrange an alternative day to visit so that you can see our school

in action please do not hesitate to phone me on 4318-487.

Trevor Brljevichs Retirement

On October 23rd, 120 people gathered at Maungaturoto Ambu-lance Station to celebrate Trevor Brljevichsoutstanding contribution to our station.

Trevor was one of the original 13 foundation members thatformed the station in 1955, and has given 55 years service to thecommunity in his capacity as an Ambulance Officer.

Trevor has seen many changes over the years, from when thecalls were put through the manual exchange and were respondedin in a Ford 500, to todays highly technical equipment.

Trevor has held many positions during these years. He became aSergeant in 1956, Divisional Officer in 1970, and Divisional Su-perintendent from 1980 to 1993. He gained his Instructors Cer-tificate in 1985, and the list goes on. Trevor still holds the posi-tion of Chairman on the Otamatea Area Committee

Trevor was awarded Serving Brother in 1983, officer Brother in

1990, and had the great honour of becoming Commander of theOrder of St John in 2000.

Trevor has been a most valued and respected member of theMaungaturoto Station. To each of the station volunteers Trevorhas been both friend and mentor. He is a very dedicated manwho through his caring nature has provided thousands of hours ofservice helping his community. He has done it quietly and will-ingly with no thought of personal recognition. Trevor is a man ofprinciple, an honourable man and one who has gained wide re-spect from those he has come in contact with.

Being an Ambulance Officer is only one of Trevors outstandingtalents. He is well known around town for his baking skills. Hehas been entering the local Paparoa A&P show for over 40 years,entering his Limousin Stud cattle then moving to vegetables,

flowers and more recently adding preserves. During all this timehe was also on ambulance duty.

Trevor hosts the local 500 card club weekly in his home and fre-quently supplies his famous cream cakes for supper. People of-ten phone Trevor for advice when they are unsure what to dowith unwell family members. Trevor also joined the local bowl-ing club and is still actively involved; he was recently given thehonour of being made a Life Member. He has been presentedwith many local community awards, and a prestigious overseasaward, the Dix Penning Award for his contribution to Calla LilyBreeding.

We would also like to pay special tribute and thank you toTrevors late wife Yvonne, and his children Karen and Kevin fortheir loyalty, support and dedication to both Trevor and theMaungaturoto St John.We all wish you well on your well earned retirement, and con-gratulations on 55 years of dedicated service. Trevor has beenmade a Life Member of Maungaturoto St John.
