Rain from the heavens delayed the move of Our Lady of Fatima Church
for four days last week. The parish hall in Innes Rd (Christchurch)
was loaded up on trucks in preparation for being moved on Monday, but
as pouring rain turned the new site to mud the move had to be delayed
until the land could dry out.

achievement pay off

Manawatu secondary school students' book smarts are above average when
it comes to NCEA, with principals saying the extra effort put into
pupils is paying off. Hato Paora had a 100 per cent pass rate in

Marshall-Lobb said. "We take considerable pride in these results, but
I'm not saying it happens all the time, it was an accumulation of five
years hard work."
