Street Smart is designed for young drivers at different stages of their driving journey. Training days expose participants to practical driving situations they may not encounter during everyday driving or traditional driver training, helping them become more aware if they face these situations on the road.
Young drivers continue to be over-represented in serious and fatal crashes on New Zealand roads. Street Smart helps bridge the gap between learning to drive and navigating the realities of everyday driving, giving participants opportunities to develop greater awareness, understanding and decision-making through hands-on experience.
Understanding the road rules is essential, but it is only one part of becoming a capable and aware driver. Some driving situations are difficult to fully understand until they are experienced. At Street Smart, participants can put their knowledge into practice in a safe, controlled environment, guided by experienced coaches.

Topics in the consultation include:
• youth fare discounts
• youth fare capping
• SuperGold travel during weekday peak times.

Kiri’s passion for horticulture began while she was still at school, with work experiences at Bracu Olive Orchard, Punchbowl, LeaderBrand and PGG Wrightson helping her discover the many career opportunities within the industry.
Starting part-time work at PGG Wrightson at just 15, Kiri was inspired by the field representatives she met and developed a goal of becoming a technical horticulture representative herself.
She went on to study horticulture at Massey University, drawn to its strong focus on practical, hands-on learning across orchards, glasshouses and farms.

One of the highlights of the event was a meet and greet with International President Mark Lyon, where the Leos were presented with his Banner of Friendship.
At the same time, another group of Leos hosted a card-making activity, creating cards alongside Lions from New Zealand, France and other countries. The Leos shared why they enjoy being part of the Leo movement and spoke about the projects and community initiatives they participate in.

We’re also thrilled to see former PHS student Tisi Vehikite return to the Heat squad after spending time on the sidelines recovering from injury. Her return to representative rugby is a fantastic achievement and one we’re proud to celebrate.
We wish Sala and Tisi all the very best for their upcoming representative campaign. We’ll be cheering you on!
