Interested in local Antenatal classes?
Heriot Plunket is going to start antenatal classes through the Heriot
clinic. A Qualified Childbirth Educator will teach you how to prepare and
look after yourself and your baby before, during and after the birth.
The course is FREE and is a fantastic way to meet other parents with
babies the same age. Antenatal classes are often the place lifelong
friendships are made and the support of fellow classmates during tough
times with your baby is invaluable.
Why drive all the way to Gore for a class when you can just pop over to
Heriot and meet other local Mums and Dads?
Classes will only be run if there is enough demand so if you are keen, let
me know!

Our certifying Plumber/Drain Layer is rushed off his feet and needs another pair of hands.
Dusky Plumbing 2012 Limited is based in West Otago and covers both this area and the Gore District.
Our current Plumber is based in Gore and we envisage the new team member to be based in either the Gore or West Otago area.
The work is varied combining both maintenance and new constructions.
The area is rural (Dairy and sheep/beef), plus some commercial clients in Tapanui, Gore and Heriot.
We also have an Electrical Division to our business.
A full-time position exists for either a licensed plumber or trade’s assistant. The possibility of an apprenticeship exists for a trade’s
assistant.
The area has excellent schooling for both primary and secondary education.
A take-home work-related van, cell phone and generous salary with remuneration for overtime and callout periods are part of the
package offered.
Please contact Terry Brand on 027 204 2123 for further details
Applications for this position should have NZ residency or a valid NZ work visa and a current full driver’s license.
