Alexander Bartleet was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1985.
He studied at Auckland University of Technology and was frst
recognised when he was judged Mazda Emerging Artist of the
Year in 2007. He has since picked up several more awards and
has become a well-known young emerging artist in New Zealand.
His works are unique in character and hard to mistake for another
artist. He uses thousands of real three-dimensional objects and
preserves them in paint and resin.
Throughout his work, Bartleet explores ideas around how
objects and materials can hold strong evidence and memories
of our past much like a photograph can. He questions their use
and journey once forgotten and disregarded from our daily lives.
Bartleet uses these materials creating sculptures and paintings
whose intensity and detail offer the viewer to study the objects
individually up close or to view the surface as a whole. It can be
a joyous experience recognising an old cassette player that you
used as a kid but then also shocking to realise the pace in which
we forget and move on from things we once treasured.

share Your passion maKe a real difference in teaching

mitch tawhi thomas
Ko nga ti maniapoto
Mitch has recently completed his Postgraduate
Diploma in teaching with the assistance of a TeachNZ
scholarship. He hopes to make a difference in the
areas of English and Performing Arts, and has just
been appointed as Drama teacher at Tikipunga High
in Whangarei.
Returning to study as a mature student has been
one of the best things I have ever done. It has taken a
lot of courage and focus, and every step of the way I
have been able to draw on my life experiences and
skill base to get me through.
Mitch spent his childhood in Taranaki, went
to college in the Hutt Valley and graduated as a
professionally trained Actor from Toi Whakaari NZ
Drama School. As an award winning playwright, he
has enjoyed the experience, and ups and downs, of
being a practitioner within local theatre, and the flm
and television industries.
You could say Im a late bloomer as it took me
a lot longer than I thought to complete my Bachelor
of Arts from Victoria University. Now that I have, Im
determined to follow my vision to teach, and to help
the future storytellers of Aotearoa come through.
Im inspired to teach because I realise that the
very future of our arts industry, and indeed our
country, depends on the confdence and skill base of
our youth. I was encouraged to explore and expand
my talents and to think critically and now, more than
ever, I feel we need to be encouraging our rangatahi
to be doing just that. Our world climate demands it.
The Postgraduate Diploma in teaching is a very
intense but rewarding year, and the last thing you
should be worried about is how you are going to
pay your bills. There are lots of costs involved with
study that you may not realise at frst: transport,
work clothes, textbooks and notes, printing, etc.
These things add up so basically get organised,
understand your fnances, relax, and focus on your
study.
Applying for a TeachNZ scholarship was really
straightforward and, as a successful applicant, it has
afforded me the ability to stay on top of everything.
It is such a busy year that you may not be able to
work part-time, so if you are eligible for a scholarship,
I recommend going for it! It is so worth it.

safety and comfort.
I am now a Licensed Aircraft

airline customer service humaira (hummY) cameron
I always hated learning! I started
mucking around in 5th form and
then when I got to 6th form I
dropped out, because it wasnt
something I was into. One year
later I paid for a whole year of
another course and only went to
classes for two weeks and then
that was it. So I stuck to working
until I got this opportunity at Air
New Zealand Aviation Institute.
I was motivated right through
from day one to week 17 and if I
could pay to do this course again
I would gladly do it.
This course has changed
my whole perspective towards
learning. I always thought I didnt
have it in me, but I guess I was
wrong and I have learnt a lot from
this course. A lot of people doubted
me when I said I am going to do a
course, but I didnt care because I
had my best interests at heart.
Thanks to all the facilitators for
everything and the fun times we had.

ctc aviation training Jetstar pilot programme graduate,
sam Butler
Sam Butler, aged 26, is living the dream as a First
Offcer with Jetstar after completing a pilot training
programme with CTC.
Sam graduated from the Jetstar Pilot Programme
with CTC Aviation Training in 2010 and is loving life
as an airline pilot. The view from the fight deck is
incredible and different every day! The best part of
my job is the rush you get from taking off or landing
in challenging conditions; also the opportunity to
travel and have new experiences is amazing.
Sam has always had an
interest in aviation and is still
fascinated by the idea of fight.
Having moved to Hamilton
from Whakatane after fnishing
high school, Sam leaped at
the chance to fulfl his dream
of becoming a pilot through
training with CTC.
I have wanted to be a pilot
for as long as I can remember.
The training was intensive but
very enjoyable, as each day
you are learning and practising
new skills. CTCs training centre
runs as much like an airline
operation as possible, so it
really does prepare you for life
as an airline pilot.
Anyone who has a passion
for fying or an interest in aviation would love this job.
Someone who gets satisfaction from problem-solving
and is a hands-on person that doesnt want to sit in an
offce all day.
I am where I am today because I had a goal and I
was lucky enough to have the opportunity with CTC
to achieve it.
The Jetstar Pilot Programme takes cadets with
very little experience to fying in the right-hand seat
of an airliner in approximately 18 months.

wherever in the world you go and

Zealands leading university*, we can give

My degree at The University of Auckland
Business School provided me with more
than just the core technical skills and
business know-how to successfully enter
the business world. It provided me with
the opportunity to practice my problem-
solving skills, socialise with key people
within the business community, and travel
and compete internationally as part of
the Management Consulting Club.
This year I am a graduate at Deloitte
within their Consulting Service Line, and
Strategy and Operations team. The skills I
developed while at University, such as the
ability to think on my feet, analyse
information and communicate effectively,
support me in my career on a daily basis
and are invaluable.

Survival Guide 61 60 Survival Guide
Things to do
Dont miss orientation week! Make sure
you check the dates well in advance.Your
institution will very likely put on events the
week before classes begin. Students also run their
own events. Orientation is a fun, exciting and perhaps
confusing time. Its a chance to set yourself up and
get involved. Give it a go. Dont be afraid to ask for
help or information the aim of orientation is to help
you settle in.
Checklist to help you get the most from
orientation:
Check orientation schedule
Find your classes
Look out for free events
Organise your tutorials and prepare a class
schedule
Join a club sports, cultural, music, academic,
religious anything! Its a fun way to meet new
people and try out new things
Check out the student bar
Go to orientation events
Buy a StudentCard
Pick up a copy of the student magazine
Make sure your student loan/allowance is sorted
Join your faculty association, e.g. law, engineering
Join your student association. They exist to
represent students not only within your institution
but on a national front. These are the people who
care about your rights.
Relax and have a coffee in the area where all the
other students are hanging out. Tertiary life is
very different to school. Its a good chance to make
a fresh start and meet new friends to reinvent
yourself. Nobody knows who you are . . . yet . . .
Get involved in student life, fnd yourself, and
leave teenage prejudices and schoolyard bickering
where it belongs back in the playground.
taKing responsiBilitY
When you choose to get a tertiary education you
become responsible for yourself. There are no
teachers to prod you to do your assignments. If
you do not hand in an assignment, no one will care.
Now is the time to take responsibility for your own
education. You are here by choice. If you are not
going to do the work, dont waste your time and
money. Lots of students drop out early in the year
having wasted big dollars dont become just
another statistic. Being a student requires good
time management. When you master this skill you
will achieve both academically and socially. Here
are some tips to help you transition from school to
tertiary life.
surviving studY
Studying at a tertiary institution is radically
different from school, mainly because you
have to be really proactive.The key to success
is organisation and time management. Here
are some tips to keep you sane.
Study plans Create a study plan. It must be
realistic and achievable or you will become
discouraged when you do not stick to it. Study
plans can be used at any time. They can cover
an entire month, a couple of days or be a plan
for an all-nighter. Plans are useful for knowing
what material you need to cover, and allocating
time according to the requirements of individual
courses and needs.
Exercise Regular exercise will improve
your ability to focus. If you have been studying
continuously for hours, take a break and go out
for a walk. You will feel refreshed afterwards.
Peace and quiet Make sure your study place
is quiet and distraction-free with a good desk,
chair and light. If home doesnt cut it, try the
library.
Resources Investigate the resources available
to you. Familiarise yourself with the library,
computer labs and study spaces. Be early to
secure computers/desks around exam time as
they can fll up very quickly.
Breaks Ensure you take regular breaks of at
least 5 minutes every hour.
Buddies Make friends with somebody in each
class. This way you will have somebody to study
with, to call if you have a question, and to borrow
notes from if you miss a lecture. Consider joining/
organising a study group.
Learning techniques Get to know which
learning techniques work best for you. Do you
learn by reading or listening? Create maps,
mnemonics, checklists, diagrams, fash cards,
short and sweet sentences, and colour codes. You
can also record ideas, lectures, or notes onto a
tape and listen to them.
Learning centre For study help, check to see
if your institution has a learning centre. They often
run courses in study techniques and provide
academic support.
Being prepared
Start a diary Write all your assignments in the
diary and remember to check it daily.
List of assignments Keep a list of
assignments and due dates on your bedroom
door (or a prominent place you cannot miss).
Tricks like this help to eliminate the last-minute
panic of assignments you forgot about, or thought
were still weeks away.
Checklists of things to do These will also
serve as an incentive because you can tick an
item once its done very satisfying!
Lecture preparation Make sure you have
plenty of paper, pens and any other equipment
you need. This will help you take better notes.
Tutorials Make sure you go to your tutorials.
Tutorials clarify and expand on lectures and take
place in a smaller discussion group. They are
essential to give you a greater understanding
of your course and provide the opportunity to
discuss your ideas and ask questions.
Ask questions Be brave and take the
opportunity to ask questions in lectures and
tutorials. If you dont want to ask questions in
class, wait until the end and ask the lecturer.
Alarm clock Invest in an alarm clock or use
the alarm function on your cellphone so you
arrive on time or early for classes or exams.
Keep up Dont fall behind with your reading,
exercises and homework. Prevent the need for
last-minute cramming (see below).
tertiary study is more than an
education, its a lifestyle. embrace it.
this survival guide has been developed
with your well-being, sanity and study
goals in mind. it is designed to give you
the lowdown on tertiary life.

LAST-MINUTE CRAMMING
last-minute cramming involves absorbing as much information as you can
asap. last minute cramming can be stressful, so avoid it like the plague!
however, if you do need to cram here are some handy tips:
make a plan of the material you need to cover and stick to it. Dont try to cover
everything, focus on the main chapters/issues/concepts frst.
repetition The key to cramming is repetition. Dont just read something once.
Go over it again and again, then test yourself to check that you have remembered
it.
eat healthy. Some sugar is OK, but do NOT overindulge in caffeine drinks and
sugary food. You will become light-headed, twitchy, experience a massive crash
and may even doze off. Eat nuts, muesli and fruit; drink water, juice, and try to
avoid food with a high fat or salt content.
incentives Build in little rewards for yourself after each burst of cramming.
Be an early bird Youll be more alert frst thing in the morning than late at night.
avoid brick walls! If you hit one take a break or go to bed.
get a proper sleep. Do NOT cram late into the night before an early exam.

moneY moneY
moneY!
As a student you will soon discover that your
life has many demands and perhaps the
most important is money. Even if you forget
about the substantial cost of paying for your
education, there are day-to-day costs to be
considered as well.These can include books,
accommodation, food, transport, parking
and entertainment expenses. By setting up
a budget you can keep to, future debt can be
minimised.This section is designed to give
you a heads-up on money matters where to
get it, how to keep it, and how to use it wisely.
Show me the money!
The government may be able to give you, or at
least loan you, some money. It has several loans
and allowances available for students depending
on your circumstances. Refer to our Student
Allowances and Loans section (pp. 6465).
There are many scholarships available for
tertiary students to assist with tuition costs and,
in some cases, living costs as well (refer to
pp. 6667). Generally you have to meet certain
academic or community service requirements
depending on the type of scholarship. Its up
to you to seek out scholarships. Your school
may know about some, but there are also other
sources, e.g. visit institution websites and fnd
their scholarship section. Talk to the people at
the scholarships offce they may know about
various scholarships that you are eligible for.
Parents and family members can be a good
source of funds and information.
Get a job. As hard as it sounds, sometimes this is
the only way. Refer to our Jobs and Employment
section (pp. 7880).
I am a student discounts please!
There are lots of specials and discounts available
for students operated by businesses, especially
entertainment related. Become aware of whats on
offer in your area and make good use of them.
Public transport sometimes offers student
discounts, so make sure you buy cards at the
student prices. Some transport operators will
not accept your institution card, only their own
student card do some investigating frst.
WARNING!
You cant be too careful with overdrafts and
credit cards! Keep your overdraft as low and
manageable as possible. You will have to
pay it back with interest. You dont want
to jeopardise your chances of studying or
unnecessarily increasing your student debt.
the maxim is, if you cant afford it, dont
borrow to buy it. go without. its that basic. in
fact, try to manage without a credit card. You
wont regret it.
Budgeting
Budgeting is not a novel concept but it does require
some planning and discipline. Here are some
general budget tips to get you started once youve
received your money from family/government/
scholarship/job, etc.
Take advantage of student discounts get
a StudentCard these offer great food/
entertainment deals.
Choose a bank with the student package that
best fts your needs.
Pay your credit card off on time to avoid penalty
costs.
Be organised with your money. Know how much
you have, deduct the necessities frst (e.g. rent,
power bills, food, transport costs), and know your
limits.
For the frst couple of weeks, watch your
spending closely. What are you spending your
money on? Are there things you can cut back
on, such as not buying as much food on the go?
Once you have an idea of where your money
is going, include this in your budget. Regularly
review your budget.
Make sure that any shared costs for your fat are
handled fairly.
Sorted.org.nz has a whole section to help students
manage their fnances, including a handy budget
calculator:
www.sorted.org.nz/life-events/studying
Money saving tips
Use your legs walk or bike. Public transport
and footpaths are there to be used. If you must
use a car carpool.
Dont be a yuppie. Ration that phone use. Talk
to your service provider about plans that could
save you money or limit your phone usage.
Buy and sell your used textbooks. Check
out whats on offer at second-hand book stores,
online trading sites and on student notice boards.
Join the library.
Restrict the use of your eftpos card. Take
out money at the beginning of each week. Do
not take your eftpos card to the pub/town. Take
cash instead. This will put an instant curb on
your spending. And youll be less likely to waste
precious money on a pig-out on the way home.
Arrange automatic payments into a bank
account that does not have an eftpos card.
When you fnd yourself in a tricky place, youll
have a back-up source of money.
Learn to cook and make your own lunch.
It will save you heaps. Plan your food at the
beginning of each week. Plant a veggie garden at
your fat.
Banks and students: a special relationship
Banks are aware of the student market, and many
offer some attractive student deals. Most banks have
special student accounts that offer no transaction or
ATM fees, overdraft facilities and even special student
credit cards. Enquire about internet banking this
further decreases fees and is very convenient.
Find out what the banks are offering you. Not all
the deals are the same, and the freebies offered
have different value to different people. Would you
like a new bag? Or perhaps some money in your
account when it is opened?
travel & transport
Daily transport tips
Although driving may give you more fexibility,
time and independence, it is costly. Expenses
will include WOF, registration, repairs, petrol,
insurance and parking costs.
If you intend to drive to your institution, you need
to fnd the cheapest place to park. Often there
will be free parking in nearby residential areas.
Ask around at your institution if you are unfamiliar
with the city or look for earlybird/all-day parking
signs.
In the larger cities it may be cheaper to park in
an inner-city suburb then catch a bus one stage
to the institution.
Organise a car pool with people in your fat or
with friends and split the cost of parking.
Alternatively, you can save money and be nicer
to our environment by not driving. Walk, bike or
catch the bus.
One of the big challenges for people facing
tertiary study for the frst time is understanding
the funding options available to them.
StudyLink* has just launched a range of new
online services to make life easier for both new and
returning students. These services bring together all
the tools and information that students need to make
decisions about studying.
* Ministry of Social Development service.
Understand your options
The Thinking About Study section of the StudyLink
website is for frst-time students and includes case
studies that give you real-life examples. It covers
issues such as making sure youre confdent in your
decision to study as well as providing information
about the realities of student life and managing your
money.
Its important to get a clear understanding of what
it will cost you to study and live, and where you will
get your money from, before you start.
There is some fnancial help available, but if you
can balance your study with some part-time work it
can make life much easier.
Find out what you can get
There are a number of ways StudyLink can help with
costs while you study, or if you are on a study break
and cant fnd work.
StudyLinks new online tool, What you can get,
helps students make sure they are getting everything
to which they are entitled. Its very user-friendly, and
you dont need to know about all the different help
StudyLink offers, because the online tool will tell
you. You just need to answer some questions about
yourself and What you can get will display the range
of fnancial assistance you may be eligible for.
Do the numbers
The StudyLink website has a range of tools and
calculators to help you manage your fnances and
understand the cost of study. You can also link to
budget and student loan calculators offered by
Sorted to help you put your potential income and
borrowing into context.
The Student Allowance rate calculator can help
you work out how much student allowance you may
be able to get depending on your circumstances.
When to apply
Its important to apply for your student fnance
well before your course starts before exams in
September/October is a good time and will mean
you get it sorted well before the end of the year.
You can apply even if youre not sure where or
what youre going to study, you just need to make
sure you tell StudyLink once you have decided.

certain criteria you have to meet to qualify, but you
wont have to pay it back.
Student loan
The Student Loan is available to help with study
costs. Depending on whether youre a full- or
part-time student you may be able to get a loan to
help with your compulsory fees, course-related costs
like books and stationery, and living costs. You have
to pay it back, so its important to only borrow whats
absolutely necessary.
Scholarships
Research scholarships from a range of different
organisations. Scholarships are a great way to fund
your study and they are open to a wide range of
students. Not all scholarships depend on your
previous academic achievements for example,
there are also scholarships that take into account
your study history, subject areas and future plans.
Refer to Scholarship Tips (pp. 6667).
More information
Go to www.studylink.govt.nz to fnd out the best
way to fnance your study, gain access to the most
up-to-date information and apply online.
Once you take out a loan with Studylink, your loan details will be transferred
to Inland Revenue on a daily basis. Each year Inland Revenue will charge a
$40 administration fee to cover the cost of administering your loan unless
you were charged StudyLinks establishment fee in the same tax year. These
will be added to your loan balance.
Repaying your loan
You need to use a tax code with the SL repayment code if youre working
and have a student loan regardless of how much you earn, unless you qualify
for an exemption.
Currently your repayments will be deducted by your employer at the rate of 10
cents per dollar of income above the repayment threshold. The Government
has proposed to increase the repayment rate to 12 cents for every dollar
earned over the repayment threshold.
Your student loan deductions every pay period will be considered as meeting
your repayment obligation, unless they are signifcantly higher or lower than
what should have been deducted. You generally wont have an end-of-year
assessment.
For more information on making repayments, visit www.ird.govt.nz/student-
loans/payments
Repayment deduction exemption
If youre working and a full-time student, you can apply for a repayment deduc-
tion exemption if you think youll earn under $19,084 for the full tax year. This
means you dont have to use a tax code with SL if youre on salary or wages,
and wont have any repayment deductions from this income.
Special deduction rate
If you have a second job, make sure you use a secondary tax code with SL.
If you have two or more jobs, you can apply for a special deduction rate for
your student loan deductions on your secondary earnings. This will ensure
you only make the right repayments toward your student loan.
Managing your loan
Like any loan, its up to you to make sure youre meeting your obligations.
You must stay on top of your loan so you dont incur late payment interest.
A good way to keep up to date is by registering for Inland Revenues secure
online services.
Our online services allow you to manage your loan in a way that suits you,
when it suits you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from anywhere in the world.
Once youve registered, you can check your loan balance, track any payments
made, apply for a repayment deduction exemption or special deduction rate,
and watch out for any due dates coming up all in a secure environment
where you know no one else can get hold of your information.
Its a good idea to set yourself a day every three months to log on and check
out whats happening with your loan. That way, you can avoid any nasty
surprises if something isnt going as planned.
Check out: www.ird.govt.nz/online-services
DO:
use a tax code with SL

full-time student

moving out
Flatting and hostels are an alluring option to
any new school leaver. For many it will be your
frst time out of home and the freedom can be
intoxicating.
Moving out can be a great opportunity to meet
new people and make new friends. However, before
you embark on this new adventure there are some
factors you need to consider.
Flat hunting
Get sorted early At the beginning of the
academic year and mid-year break there is
inevitably a rush for fats and hostels. Make sure
you give yourself enough time to fnd a place.
This is especially important in areas or towns with
a large student population. The end of the year is
often the best time to look.
Adverts for houses and fatmates Check
out your campus accommodation offce, campus
notice boards, and the Wednesday and Saturday
newspapers.

nsf/Content/Going+fatting
Choosing a fat
Remember you are choosing a HOME, so make
sure you can picture yourself living there.
The typical fat in the student price range is a
dump. No worries though, you can make it a fun
dump.
Average weekly rents in New Zealand vary
throughout the country. For a room in a fat you
could pay between $90 to $210. Prices are more
expensive the closer the fat is located to the
central city.
Check fats for signs of mould on ceilings/walls
and check the smell.
Check the water pressure in the shower/ taps.
Check for gas it means cheaper bills and
longer showers.
Is there a nice place where you can retreat?
Having an area that you can relax is very
important.
Make sure you have every room flled before
you sign any agreement. It is no fun paying
double the rent while you try to fnd additional
fatmates.
Check that it is near to public transport.
How to pick your fatmates
When choosing a fat consider whether you want
to live with people you know or with strangers.
If you are going to live with your friends, and you
already know every disgusting habit they have,
then you are ready to sail. However, although
fatting with friends can be great fun, it can also
cause problems that may detrimentally affect
your friendship.
If you have a friend who is known to be
unreliable, bad at handling money, etc., maybe it
would be better to decide to fat with new people
rather than ruin a friendship.
When interviewing for a fat or fatmate, be
sure to ask questions that will give you a good
indication of what the person/people are like.
Relevant questions could include: Are they on a
vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free diet? Do they
have pets? Do they smoke? Do they have strong
religious or political affliations? Can they cook?
Are they willing to share cleaning and shopping
chores?
Sharing the space
Compromise and personal responsibility
Your fatmates will not love you the way your
parents do, so dont take them for granted.
Its important to realise that people often
have different ideas and come from different
backgrounds. Also, be aware that people have
bad days. Not everyone feels like talking all the
time, so make sure you give each other suffcient
space. Understand that if someone is continually
grumpy and critical, there may be an issue that
needs to be talked through.
Consideration Dont throw parties or invite
too many people around without checking frst
with your fatmates. They may have to work or do
assignments. Dont pig-out on communal food.
Pay and use your share.
Clear communication Put up a small white/
blackboard for writing fat notices and messages,
e.g. missed phone calls, a shopping list that you
can all add to for joint expenses, such as toilet
paper, cleaning products and so on.
Cleanliness Mess and slovenly behaviour
can often cause friction between fatmates. Basic
hygiene standards need to be maintained so
that you all remain in good health. Dont forget to
clean the loo regularly and wash your teatowels
every few days! Are you going to be the grumpy
fatmate who always complains? Or the person
who rolls their eyes and says, Yeah, whatever.
The best way to achieve cleanliness is to start
by taking responsibility for your own mess and
dishes. Assign one job per person (so if they
forget, you know who to nab), or having a day
once a week/month labelled Flat Clean.
STAyING HoME
If youre not moving to a new city dont forget about
the advantages of staying home. The most obvious
is money. You will save heaps if you stay at home.
Cheap board, no bills, good food, and a reliable
washing machine. Your family will be on hand if you
need moral support. You get the picture.There are
so many things we take for granted at home sweet
home.
Medical alert Familiarise yourself with any
medical conditions that your fatmates have
in case of emergencies. Talk to your fatmates
about medications and any relevant emergency
procedures. Also keep an eye out for any
indication that a fatmate may be having medical/
behavioural problems as these may also end up
affecting you. Make sure that the fat has a list
of contact numbers (like family or friends) for
everyone in case of emergency.
Establish food rules at the beginning
These rules vary from fat to fat. Sometimes it is
communal, for other fats it is an individual affair.
You need to reach a group consensus about
whether you share costs for only the basics such
as toilet paper, cleaning products, milk, bread,
etc., and take responsibility for your own meals
or if you are each responsible for one meal
per week. You could also nominate one night of
the week, say Sunday, where you all pitch in to
prepare a big communal feast.
Clarify and agree on your expectations
upfront Theres no excuse for feeling resentful
afterwards if you didnt express your views or
make any special requests at the start.
Hostels
Student Hostels, or Halls of Residence, are a good
place to fnd accommodation and there are many
available that cater for different groups.
Hostels can be a good option for students
moving to a new city. They provide you with an
opportunity to settle down without taking on the
responsibility of a fat.
Hostel life is a great chance to make some great
friends. Usually students stay in hostels for the
frst year, after which they move into a fat with
their new friends.
Generally youll pay a little more at a hostel
than sharing a fat but they can be good if you
need somewhere temporary to stay while you
are looking for a more permanent location. The
average cost for student hostel accommodation
in New Zealand is up to $300 per week.
If you are thinking of staying in a hostel,
contact your campus accommodation offce for
information on what is available. Application
forms are often included in your enrolment
pack.
Ensure you apply for hostel accommodation
early hostel accommodation is limited.
Hostel food: the quality is proportional to what
you pay. If you miss home-style food, fnd one
with self-catering facilities and proceed to our
Learn to Cook section (page 74).
Moving cities
When you frst arrive in a new city, dont waste any
time getting to know your environment. Find the
following:
Local dairy and supermarket
Bus and train timetables, and taxi cab numbers
Doctor and chemist
Parking
Public library and post offce
KEEpING IN ToUCH
Its vital that you keep in touch with your family
and friends when you move to a new city. Although
everything feels new and exciting at the beginning
its inevitable that you will miss home at some
point. Dont let your relationships suffer through
neglect. Maintaining links with these familiar support
networks will help you to stay grounded. Remember
to phone (say one night a week), text, write and
email.
the loWdoWn on flatting
sharing the costs
Set up a fat account in the head tenants name
to keep personal fnances separate.
Be clear about your rights and obligations as a
tenant.
If sharing food costs, make sure youre not
spending more than what everyone has
contributed to the communal kitty. Create lists
and fat budgets for what you need.
Dont use your best furniture or electrical
goods for general use in the fat, as they
will get knocked around a bit. Second-hand
furniture and kitchen gear is ideal for a shared
house.
Make sure that the phone bill is itemised. This
allows the costs to be allocated fairly. Keep in
mind that if its your name on the bill youll be
liable for any charges incurred, so make sure
your fatmates pay their share on time. Work
out a fair system for paying other utility bills
such as gas or power.
Draw up a fat-sharing agreement with your
fatmates to avoid any potential disputes.You
can download a sample fat/house-sharing
agreement from www.dbh.govt.nz.You can
also download a rent summary chart from the
same site.
Bond
The bond must be submitted by your landlord
to Tenancy Services.You may also submit the
bond yourself with the landlords approval. If
giving the bond to your landlord, ensure that
you get a receipt.
You will need two weeks rent in advance, up to
four weeks rent as a bond and you may need
to pay an agency fee, which will be around a
weeks rent + GST.
Ensure that all your fatmates pay an equal
share of the bond.
The bond is paid back at the completion of
your tenancy agreement by submitting a form
to Tenancy Services with both the tenant and
landlords signatures.
Leave the fat spotless if you ever want to
see your bond again. Really important take
photos of all the rooms before you move in and
note any damage already in the house. Usually
the landlord will do a check too.

For further info visit www.dbh.govt.nz/tenants-
getting-started (Department of Building &
Housing).
Tenancy agreement
If theres any disagreement about rent, bond, the
condition of the fat/house or broken agreements
contact the Department of Building and Housing
to try to resolve the issue.
Bond enquiries: Ph 0800 737 666
Tenancy advice: Ph 0800 836 262
It is law that the landlord gives you a receipt for
any money he/she is paid. If you pay rent into
a bank account then the bank details can be
considered a receipt. Ensure you get a receipt
even if you just pay your rent to another fatmate.
Your landlord must by law give you 24 hours
notice if he/she wants to come around to the fat.
If they do turn up unannounced, dont be rude
but ask them to notify you before coming around
in the future.
The landlord is responsible for the maintenance
and repairs of the house, but it is your
responsibility to inform him/her of anything that
needs doing.
When renting from a landlord it is illegal to be
discriminated against so if you feel that you
have been, contact the tenancy division of the
Department of Building and Housing or the
Human Rights Commission.
Know your rights regarding rent increase. If you
are on a fxed-term rent check the agreement
for a clause relating to rent increases. Periodic
(open-ended) rent agreements require 60 days
notice for a rent increase, and this can only
occur six months after entering the agreement.
Thereafter, the rent cannot increase more than
once every six months. For additional info
contact the tenancy division of the Department of
Building and Housing.
Remember to make sure you read and
understand the agreement between you and your
landlord. Always have agreements in writing.

An agreement should cover bond, rent, type of
lease and other conditions.
The head tenant is the fatmate who signs the
agreement. They usually get to choose the
fatmates. However, they are also responsible for
making sure all the rent is paid.
Furnishing a fat
Ask your family and relatives for any surplus old
furniture or kitchen gear.
Renting appliances works well it splits the cost
and lots of rental places offer student discounts.
Second-hand furniture is ideal. Try the Salvation
Army, Trade & Exchange and TradeMe and check
out local garage sales.
Look out for sales and bargains at chains such as
Briscoes, Target and The Warehouse.
Be sure to keep any hire purchases in your own
name and make all of the payments personally.
Communal furniture can become a source of
confict when it is time to move out.
Get a fridge. You can only survive on a chilly bin
for so long. It is an essential item for preserving
food and drink at the right temperatures if you
dont want to get food poisoning.
Get a smoke alarm for your bedroom and
your fat.
Insurance & other costs
Make sure you arrange your own contents
insurance. If your name is on the tenancy
agreement ensure that your insurance also
includes personal liability insurance. In the event
of a fre or major damage, anyone on the tenancy
agreement may be liable and it could cost you
big-time even if you arent in the fat at the time.
The landlord is responsible for the rates and
general maintenance. Check with Tenancy
Services regarding water bills and anything else
you are liable for.
FLATMATE pRobLEMS
Tensions can fare up over the smallest of things. Its more productive to discuss issues with
people when you have a clear head. Issues need to be resolved its no fun being grumpy with
someone you have to live with.
If there are problems, talk about them. Allowing resentment to fester never ends well for anyone.
Clear communication is essential to developing successful relationships with those you live with,
e.g. if you feel you do all the cleaning and Bob is not pulling his weight, dont be aggressive,
Bob, do the dishes! nor passive, OK, I'll do them again, but assertive, Bob, Id prefer it
if you . . .
If a fatmate goes beyond the limits and the other fatmates agree they want him/her out then
politely make it clear that the household wants someone new. If the fatmate is on the tenancy
agreement, legally only the landlord can ask them to leave. A disruptive fatmate who no longer
feels welcome will usually move out on their own.
Brain
food
Happy cooks
Vary the menu from night to night and dont forget
the vegies!
Ideas for simple meals you can all learn to cook
include:
Meat and salad dinners: steak, chicken, fsh, or
sausages with salad and spuds or rice.
Pasta, such as spaghetti bolognese or any other
sauce and pasta. Flavoured tuna and pasta.
Lasagne
Pizza: make your own toppings, buy a
supermarket base.
Chicken or bacon salad
Hearty stews can be made in advance. Use a
cheap cut of meat and cook slowly.
Bean casseroles use any combo of canned
beans, add tomato paste, water, herbs, vegies,
cover with mashed spud and bake.
Canned spaghetti and cheese in toasted buns,
toasted sandwiches or paninis.
Home-made burgers
Stir fry vegies and chopped-up meat with
garlic, soy sauce, fsh oil, etc.
Macaroni and cheese
Mexican tacos just buy tacos, cook some spicy
mince and serve with grated cheese and salad.
Eggs, any way you like them omelettes,
scrambled, poached, fried or curried.
Cheese and anything (chutney, tomato, avocado,
onion, bacon) on toast.
Couscous is easy to make, just add boiling water
in a ratio that is double the amount of dry grain.
Add toasted nuts and chopped roasted veggies.
Add potatoes, rice and bread to meals to fll
you up.
Pre-prepared rice risotto mix add extra veggies
or meat and serve with salad.
Add herbs and spices to add favour to your food.
Happy stomachs
Flat cupboards should always have the essentials
stocked in them. Share the costs of these essentials
with your fatmates and allocate a small fund ready to
restock them.
Bread, milk, cereal
Fresh fruit and vegies, 5+ a day
Ingredients for lunch sandwiches
Cooking oil, salt, pepper, tomato paste, cans of
tomatoes, beans and tuna, soy sauce, tomato
sauce, pasta, rice, potatoes, onions, garlic, basic
set of herbs and spices, big block of cheese,
frozen peas.
Note: Do not eat whatever you happen to fnd in
your kitchen/fat. All food goes off eventually. If
fruit and veges are mush, dont eat them. If the
meat is green, dont eat it. If you dont know what
it is, dont eat it.

Buying all your food is costly. If you want to save a few
bucks, and have something impressive to show off at
parties and parent visits, a vegetable garden will do
the trick. Getting the results you want will require a
little planning and time.
1. A vegetable garden should be made in a
sheltered sunny place.
2. The soil must be in good condition. Adding the
right fertilizer will make a difference. Start a
compost heap or buy some.
3. Before planting check the instructions on the
packets/seedlings. Its advisable to plant when
it is cool, in the evening or early morning.
4. Keep the instructions that come with the
plants/seeds so you know when the vegies are
ready to eat!
5. Water the garden well once a week.
6. Dont be disheartened if the frst harvest is not
as big as you hoped.Youll soon learn what
grows best.
7. If youre pushed for space, stick to herbs,
parsley and silverbeet. Just dont forget to
water them! Herbs can spice up any salad or
meal, and can make great hot drinks.
8. And by the way, have fun!
Learn to cook
Food is a major cost for students. Buying
and cooking your own food and making your
own sandwiches is not only cheaper but can
work out healthier and tastier as well. Fresh
vegetables, meat and fsh are good value
compared to eating more expensive and less
nutritious fast food.Try to keep your diet
balanced and dont rely on frozen meals or
processed foods.Your student organisation
may have free student cookbooks or get your
family and friends to write their favourite
recipes in your notebook.There are thousands
of free recipes on the internet. Just type in one
or two of your key ingredients + recipe.
Happy student kitchens need
A source of heat: oven, element, barbecue,
microwave.
A sharp knife, a peeler and a grater.
A pan/wok for cooking meat, eggs, stir fries,
vegies.
A pot for pasta, vegies, potatoes. Note: pots
and pans can be used as bowls if you dont
have a bowl. Multi-purpose items are ideal.
Gladwrap or snaplock bags for sandwich
lunches.
A bowl for mixing and serving salads.
A can and bottle opener.
A pair of tongs, and a wooden spoon.
Knives, forks, spoons.
Plates and mugs. Or plastic/paper ones if you
do not clean or your fatmates/friends cannot
handle breakable things.
A jug with an auto switch off (so you dont burn
the fat down).
A fridge.
Cleaning utensils separate for kitchen and
bathroom. These are not multi-purpose! Buy
a toilet cleaning product and a toilet brush as
well as a broom and a brush and dustpan.
Dish wash sponges, tea towels, pot scrub,
rubbish bags.
FooD SAvING TIpS
Learn to love toast.
Make your lunch each day.
Eat lots of potatoes, pasta, rice, etc. Theyre
cheaper and fll you up.
Get a supermarket card or keep those specials
dockets. Take notice of what is on sale when you
go shopping.
Find out what value for money is. It is not always
the bigger the better.
Be careful with perishable food. It is easy to get
carried away buying fresh vege, but you may end
up not using them in time. Check the use-by dates
on food packets.
Experiment with the cheap it will never die food
e.g. canned food, pasta, to fnd your favourite.
Find a student or food for fatters cookbook.
There are a range of moderately priced versions
on the market. Collect some of your familys
recipes and a cooking 101 lesson from home.
Alcohol: It is cheaper to have drinks at home with
friends before, or instead of, going to town.
Campus health centres offer cheap or free
services to students. If you dont have your own
GP and need some advice visit your campus
health centre. If the centre doesnt have a
permanent GP to help, they can refer you to the
appropriate and closest service.
Common health issues for students include:
Stress
Everyone gets stressed at some stage or another.
Learn to recognise when youre stressed and how
to manage it. Stress can be caused by a range of
factors, ranging from personal issues, academic
pressure, and relationship problems to change.
Symptoms may include exhaustion, grumpiness,
diffculty sleeping, depression, headaches, excessive
drinking or drug taking, etc.
If you start to feel stressed there are many simple
things you can do each day to help yourself.
Increase your exercise, e.g. go for a walk.
Go to bed earlier.
Reduce your caffeine intake during the day.
Make a study plan or take some time off work.
Chill out read a book, listen to music or watch a
(funny) movie.
Grab a bunch of friends and hang out.
Talk to somebody.
Cry.
Stress can be an aspect of student life, so keep an
eye out for those around you. If you see somebody
who is strung-out, emotional or not keeping on top of
things, offer some emotional and practical support.
Put some time aside to listen. If you have serious
concerns about your own mental state or a friends,
dont hesitate to involve a parent, counsellor or
doctor.
Sometimes stress signifes deeper issues that
you need to deal with to stop them building up. It
is important to fnd someone to confde in whether
its your best mate, parent, fatmate, or priest. Dont
forget there is also a student counselling service
available at most campuses. Check out your
institutions website for details.

74 Survival Guide
Anxiety
If stress is not related to a specifc situation (e.g.
normal exam stress) and is having a negative
impact on your life, this could indicate anxiety.
Anxiety occurs when you are functioning at a
heightened stress level, and it is not alleviated by
the completion of an activity (e.g. exams). Anxiety
can be accompanied by physical symptoms such as
shortness of breath. It is important to seek help for
anxiety talk to a counsellor or doctor.
Depression
Depression affects many people. Some people
are more prone than others to feeling depressed.
There may be no obvious reason why someone
is depressed. Depression is different from
feeling sad in response to a specifc cause, e.g.
death of a loved one or a relationship break-up.
Symptoms of depression include an overwhelming
sadness, an inability to cope, diffculty sleeping
and concentrating, no motivation, loss of appetite
and exhaustion. If the depression is very intense,
persistent and symptoms dont gradually disappear
when the cause of distress is resolved or in the past,
take immediate action. It is essential to recognise
depression in yourself or others. Doctors, counsellors
and support groups are excellent sources of support
for, and information on, depression.
Two excellent NZ Government websites include:
www.depression.org.nz and
www.thelowdown.co.nz (site to help young Kiwis
understand and deal with depression.)
Drug & alcohol problems
Alcohol and drugs can be a part of student life, but
this doesnt mean you need to take part in either.
Binge drinking is not cool. Be sensible with what
and how much you drink/take. Bear in mind that
alcohol hospitalisations are just as common as
hospitalisations from other drugs, so be careful about
the situations in which you place yourself. If you are
having problems with drugs or alcohol contact a
counsellor or doctor.
Weight & diet
Weight and diet problems, including eating
disorders, can be common issues among students.
Study can cause stress and being busy can also
mean that youre not eating a good diet or getting
the exercise you need to keep healthy. If you have a
problem with weight and poor nutrition talk to your
doctor for advice and referral.
RSI/OOS
RSI (also known as OOS or Occupational Overuse
Syndrome) can be a problem for some students.
Symptoms include having tingling sensations in your
fngers/wrist/shoulder areas. RSI/OOS can come
on quickly and if ignored it can affect your study. If
you think you may have RSI you should see a GP
as soon as you can. Your GP will likely refer you to
a physiotherapist who can help you address the
problem.
To avoid problems make sure you take regular
breaks while studying and stretch your back,
shoulders, arms and wrists at regular intervals. Make
sure you sit with your eyes level with the upper-
middle section of your computer screen and that you
are not bending your neck down to see it. Learn to
use shortcut keys rather than always using the mouse
to avoid strain on your wrists.
Pregnancy & sexual health
Avoiding unplanned pregnancy and
contracting STIs If you have unprotected sex
and may be at risk of falling pregnant you can get
the emergency contraception pill from your doctor,
a family planning clinic or a pharmacy. If you are
having sex ALWAYS USE CONTRACEPTION to
prevent both pregnancy and sexually transmitted
infections (STIs).
New Zealand has one of the highest rates of
chlamydia in the developed world and students are
among the highest affected groups. It is treatable, but
can remain dormant in your system for years.
Other STIs such as genital warts are also
treatable. More serious STI infections, including the
hepatitis group, are more diffcult to treat and some
infections such as HIV, have no cure. Be sensible
and extremely careful with your sexual partners and
ALWAYS PRACTICE SAFE SEX.
Remember that condoms are not 100 per cent
effective against STIs.
If you think you may have an STI See a
doctor about it immediately and refrain from sex in
the meantime.
If you think you may be pregnant Talk to
your doctor, a counsellor or contact Family Planning
for advice. Visit www.familyplanning.org.nz to
fnd a clinic near you.
Being sick at exam time
At some institutions it is possible to sit special exams
that take into consideration any health issues you
have, especially if they are permanent or long-term.
You need to give suffcient notice to your lecturer to
discuss your options. If you get sick just before an
exam or have a lengthy illness when an assignment
is due you can get special consideration, but it is at
the discretion of your lecturer or department and
you will need a medical certifcate confrming your
illness.
Dont struggle through an illness and leave
notifying a lecturer until too late. Ask earlier for extra
time. Make sure you check your institutions rules
and requirements surrounding aegrotat passes.
Community cards
A Community Services Card will allow you to
have cheaper visits to your doctor and cheaper
prescriptions.
Note: The Community Services Card does not
cover dentists and medical specialists.
If you are on a student allowance you
automatically qualify for a Community Services Card
and one will be sent to you. If you have only a student
loan you may still qualify depending on your income
situation.

www.workandincome.govt.nz or call
0800 999 999.
Studying with a disability
Being a tertiary student can involve extra challenges
if you have a disability, but it shouldnt get in the
way of having a fun and rewarding experience. Your
institution will have a disability offcer or someone
who can help if you experience any problems while
studying. Agencies such as Workbridge can also
offer support for your tertiary study phone
0508 858 858 or visit www.workbridge.co.nz

emploYment
organisations you belong to, additional qualities
and achievements.
Referees and references Referees are
people your employer could talk to. Ask an
employer/supervisor or teacher if they could be
your referee. Ensure their contact details are up
to date. References are letters giving someones
opinion of your character, experience and
abilities. You could get a reference from a teacher,
coach, or employer.
Today, working while you study is a reality for many
students. Be careful not to over-commit your study
should take priority over your work. Remember you
are working to help pay for your study. Workplaces
that employ students are often fexible about work
hours and shifts so you can plan your work time
around your study commitments. You may be able to
arrange for a friend or co-worker to shift-swap with
when you have exams or assignments due. Make
sure youre not working too far from classes or home
as youll end up paying money for travel costs and
this will reduce your study time.
Creating a CV
A curriculum vitae is important as it
introduces you to employers. Remember that
employers are looking for a positive attitude,
commitment, good team skills, critical
thinking, leadership skills and problem-
solving abilities. Here are some general tips to
help you write an effective CV.
Sections to include:
Personal details Name, address, phone
number, mobile, email and date of birth.
Education Outline your education in reverse
chronological order (most recent frst).
Work experience Outline your job experience
in reverse chronological order highlighting
relevant skills, abilities and attitudes that you have
developed from your work experience.
Personal interests Outline your interests and
other extracurricular activities. You could also list
CV tips
CVs must always be typed. You need to convey an
impression of professionalism.
Make your points clearly.
Two to four pages should be suffcient.
Information should be displayed clearly
and logically so it is easy to skim read and
understand.
Use a font that is easy to read.
Use bullet points as much as possible.
Write a brief positive summary of your skills and
experience at the beginning.
Include all your relevant education, training and
qualifcations.
What you write must be truthful and accurate. If
you lie about your experience or qualifcations
you can be easily found out. Not a good look!
Maintain a consistent layout throughout the CV.
Number the pages.
Most important proof read the document and
ensure it is error-free. Errors in your CV are
distracting to employers and can infer sloppiness.
Cover letters are essential. Send a covering letter
when you send out your CV one page or less.
Summarise why you would be suitable for the role
and invite the person to read your CV. Suggest a
meeting or interview. If employers are swamped
with applications, a good cover letter may be the
deciding factor when shortlisting candidates for
interviews.
Tailor your CV and cover letter for the job you are
applying for.
Protect your privacy and character Be
discerning about pictures and comments you post
on social networking sites such as Facebook. These
days its very common for employers to check a
prospective employees Facebook page to gauge
what the individual is really like. Would you want
a prospective employer to see pictures of you off
your face or scantily clothed and read rude and
disrespectful comments you have written?
Interview tips
Be yourself, and be prepared.The better your
preparation the more equipped youll be to
handle the interview and to demonstrate your
communication skills. Ask your parent or a
trusted older person for advice. Check out the
parking situation in advance, as well as the
location and directions. Ensure you present a
neat and tidy appearance. Dont go overboard
on make-up, jewellery, or fragrance. Be early
to the interview.
Be clear about what the employer is looking
for. Read the advertisement several times.
List the abilities you have that match the job
requirements. Research the employer and their
business visit their website.
How can you demonstrate what you have to offer?
Are you a team player? How do you respond to
criticism? How do you react under pressure? Be
prepared to give positive examples.
Evaluate your strengths before you go into the
interview. Have an idea about what it is you would
like the interviewer to know about you.
Also think about your weaknesses. If asked about
weaknesses, an understanding of them and what
you are doing about them shows an awareness of
your capabilities and development.
There are numerous structures for interviews.
Usually the interviewer will tell you what the
structure is going to be at the beginning. If
not, ask. Often the frst question is an easy one,
designed to get you talking and feeling at ease.
Become very familiar with your CV be able to
talk about everything in it.
Take your time when answering questions. If
you dont understand a question, its OK if you
ask for clarifcation.
In many interviews, at the end you may be
asked if you have any further questions. Think
of a good question or two for your interviewer
beforehand, just in case.
At the end of the interview you can also ask what
happens next, if this has not been made clear.

Your institutions student centre will have a list
of jobs available for students.
Try Student Job Search, www.sjs.co.nz, for
part-time or one-off jobs.
