A pair who allegedly stole a vehicle while the driver was collecting a food order will now face Court.

At about 12.25am, Police received a report of a vehicle stolen on Karangahape Road while the driver was busy collecting a meal order.

Senior Sergeant Tony Turner, Auckland City Police, says vigilant camera operators were able to backtrack and trace the vehicle’s movements.

“The vehicle was sighted on New North Road, Morningside and has continued through to Kingsland.

“Police units, supported by the Eagle helicopter, responded quickly and were able to block the vehicle in.”

Senior Sergeant Turner says two occupants were taken into custody.

“This is a great example of staff working hard to hold those responsible to account for this type of crime in our communities.

“It also serves as a reminder that Police and our partner agencies will continue to keep an eye out for suspicious activity, and we will respond accordingly.”

A 41-year-old woman will appear in Auckland District Court today charged with unlawfully taking a motor vehicle and driving with excess breath alcohol.

Sarah Elliott has long been connected with EIT’s Bachelor of Social Work in Tairāwhiti and has now returned as a tutor, bringing extensive practice experience and close links to the Gisborne community.

As a fully qualified social worker, she previously taught on the programme from 2018 to 2022 before stepping back into practice in Tairāwhiti. She returned at the beginning of this year and is confirmed to continue in 2026.

“It’s so great to be back. I love lecturing and being with students. They bring fresh energy and passion, and they’re all really eager to get out there and support our community.”

While working in management positions in the community, Sarah supervised EIT students on placement and supported new graduates stepping into their first roles.

“I’ve been able to see the whole cycle. From teaching students, to supporting them on placement, to taking them on in their first social work roles. That’s pretty special.”

Some of the students Sarah taught previously are now nearing the end of their degree, which she says has been “beautiful” to witness. “It’s been special to see their growth and transition over the years, alongside welcoming a new group of students as well.”

She also remained on the Community Services board, which helps develop the degree and ensure knowledge stays aligned with workforce needs.

“I’ve always stayed involved because I love to see these students growing and because I really value the EIT degree and what our students come out with.”

Sarah originally studied politics and human rights at university, but it was while managing human rights organisations in New Zealand that she became drawn to a career in social work.

She went on to complete a Postgraduate Diploma and a Master’s degree in Social Work. She has worked and managed services and teams across health, community services, intellectual disability and children’s trauma services, including a role as practice leader at Oranga Tamariki.

She and her husband moved to Gisborne more than a decade ago and are raising their two young children in Tairāwhiti.

Sarah says the Bachelor of Social Work is highly valued in the region because it reflects the needs of the community.

“Each community is different, and here we have unique needs. Having students study in Gisborne, taught by people who are based here, means their learning connects directly to the realities of our region. That makes the degree really meaningful and highly regarded.”

Zac Anderson, Head of School, Education and Social Science, says: “Having Sarah back in the team is incredibly important for the success of our ākonga and the programme as a whole”.

“Her connections and relationships in the Tairāwhiti community are second to none. Sarah brings with her an abundance of experience and passion for our emerging social workers, and I know her teaching will inspire a whole new generation of social work learners at EIT. 

“I feel completely confident anyone wishing to become a social worker will have the best possible kaiako in front of them, supporting them all the way!”

After completing the New Zealand Certificate in Exercise (Level 4) at EIT Hawke’s Bay in 2024, graduate Nane Araia has brought her passion for health and fitness back to her community with a new POD in Camberley.

The POD initiative provides free community exercise classes from a portable shipping container and was first launched in Maraenui by EIT masters graduate and tutor Levi Armstrong (Ngāti Kahungunu).

For Nane, establishing a POD just metres from where she grew up is deeply personal.

“This is home. It means everything to be able to give back to a community that has given so much to me.”

Nane left school at 14 and spent close to two decades in factory work before enrolling at EIT at the age of 45. Now 46-years-old, the proud Cook Island woman says completing the qualification was a turning point.

“Graduating felt like I’d won the lottery. I never thought I would be a personal trainer, but EIT gave me the tools and belief to follow my passion.”

She says the support of her tutors made all the difference.

“They broke things down in a way I could understand and always encouraged us to believe in ourselves.”

Nane completed her studies alongside her brother, Drae, with the pair encouraging each other through the 17-week programme.

She has since created her own personal training business Nesian Fit and operates out of City Fitness Hastings. But she says the Camberley POD is about creating safe and welcoming classes for people of all ages and abilities.

“It’s not about numbers. Whether it’s one person or twenty, the goal is for people to feel supported and leave stronger,” she said.

EIT’s Level 2 and 3 exercise students currently train at the Maraenui POD, gaining hands-on experience and contributing to community health.

Nane says reconnecting with Levi Armstrong during her study helped make the opportunity possible.

“Levi was part of my journey right back when I started out in fitness. To now be working alongside him again, this time giving back to Camberley, feels really special.”

For Nane, the focus will always remain on people.

She hopes the POD will inspire whānau across generations, including her mokopuna, to build healthy habits through movement and connection.

“If I hadn’t gone back to study, this wouldn’t be happening. EIT made all the difference. The POD is about giving people a safe, supportive space to move, grow stronger, and create healthier habits for themselves and their whānau.”

Kris Arnold, Programme Coordinator New Zealand  Certificate in Exercise (Level 4), said: “Nane, a confident mana wahine and one of our more mature students, gave 100% to her level 4 journey”.

“She has taken the knowledge and skills gained through the programme and now proudly wears many hats – leading group training, delivering community-based sessions, and working as an individual personal trainer. Nane is also collaborating with community initiatives to help her people thrive, a true reflection of the programme’s purpose in action.

“Our level 4 exercise programme equips learners with the knowledge and practical experience needed to become confident and capable personal trainers. With a strong focus on face-to-face delivery, students gain hands-on experience in a supportive learning environment, developing both technical expertise and people skills.”

Science, Innovation and Technology Minister Dr Shane Reti has announced more support for early-stage game studios and startups, to boost New Zealand’s fast-growing game development sector.

From 2026, the Government will provide an additional $2.75 million a year to the Centre of Digital Excellence (CODE) – twice their current funding. This will support more prototype, production, and travel grants for emerging game developers. 

“New Zealand’s game developers are creating world-class products and jobs while generating hundreds of millions in export earnings,” Dr Reti says. 

“CODE’s support for our gaming sector is highly successful. Typically, for every 1,000 pitches to publishers, in recent years only 1.6 per cent are securing signing deals. On the other hand, studios supported by CODE have an incredibly success rate of 40 per cent. 

“CODE’s programmes currently receive twice as many applications as they can fund. By doubling funding for CODE we’re backing our innovators to grow faster and reach global markets.”

The industry earned $513 million in 2024 and is projected to surpass $750 million in 2025, with revenue on track to hit $1 billion by 2027 – mostly from overseas sales. 

Employment grew 29% last year – creating 321 more jobs – with studios like Grinding Gear Games and PikPok leading the way.

“This is about more than games – it’s about high-tech jobs, export growth and putting New Zealand creativity on the world stage,” Dr Reti says.

Sexual harassment complainants in the public service will be treated with dignity and better supported under strengthened standards released today, Public Service Minister Judith Collins says.

“Your Complaint, Your Rights makes it clear that complainants have rights, and outlines what their rights are and the support they will get from their agency when they make a harassment complaint,” Ms Collins says. 

“We need to improve the way complaints of sexual harassment and other harassment, bullying and discrimination are handled across the public service. 

“We asked the Commissioner to look at how we can better support people who come forward with complaints of sexual harassment, and this new resource and the strengthened Speaking Up model standards are the result of that work.

“The improvements will ensure that anyone who raises a complaint is treated with the dignity, respect and fairness that they deserve.”

The standards draw on feedback from complainants to the Public Service Commission and the results of the recent Public Service Census, which found12 percent of public servants said they had experienced harassment or bullying in the past 12 months in their current workplace. 

Improvements include:

Clearer expectations for regular communication, with complainants being updated at agreed intervals but at least monthly, even if there is no substantive update.
Legal support in specific circumstances, with agencies expected to consider providing legal support when there is a power imbalance or the complaint is particularly serious or complex.
Stronger escalation pathways, with complainants having clearer options to raise concerns outside their agency.

“The changes reflect best practice and reinforce the public service’s zero tolerance for bullying, harassment, and discrimination,” Ms Collins says.

“Everyone has a right to feel safe and supported when they speak up.”

New Zealand Fashion Week gave five EIT Bachelor of Creative Practice (Fashion) students a first-hand taste of the industry and the chance to see top designers in action.

Lily Wixx (19), Candice D’Acre (Ngāti Porou, 33), Emma Bodley (21), Zoe Bower (24) and Lani Cunningham (20) joined hundreds of volunteers backstage and front of house, helping bring some of the country’s leading fashion shows to life.

Candice and Zoe worked as dressers, liaising with designers to dress models ready for the runway.

“It was really fun to see how everything works backstage,” Candice said. “It was organised chaos with everyone running around, make-up touch-ups happening while we were trying to dress models, and then quick changes where you had to get them out of one outfit and into the next in seconds. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the production side of fashion.”

Emma, Lily and Lani were stationed as ushers, guiding guests, checking tickets, and catching glimpses of rehearsals and shows from the front of house.

Lily said she enjoyed seeing what people were wearing not only on the runway but in the crowd.

“It was inspiring, the outfits, the way people carried themselves, and the different vibes of each show.”

Emma added: “It was amazing to see the professionalism when the lights came up and the music started.”

The students experienced shows by leading designers including Karen Walker, Zambesi, Catherine Wilson, Claudia Li and Adrian Atelier, as well as the Future of Fashion showcase, which highlighted emerging talent.

For Candice, the experience was validating.

“It made me realise this is something I can really do. I want to be a fashion designer and seeing that you do not necessarily need a big factory or team, some designers did it all themselves, reinforced that it is possible.”

Emma hopes to apply her skills to upholstery and eventually run her own boutique, while Lily is considering pursuing both design and modelling.

IDEAschool Fashion Lecturer Christina Rhodes said she was proud of the students and the positive feedback they received.

“They really worked hard, and the organisers spoke highly of them. For me, it was amazing to watch their work ethic and how they threw themselves into it. Opportunities like this are invaluable.”

She said the experience complemented the practical, hands-on approach of the Bachelor of Creative Practice (Fashion), which prepares students for careers across the fashion industry.

Candice agreed.

“I am an EIT fan girl through and through. The person I was when I started to the person I am now is so different.”

She added that the programme offered more than she expected.

“If you like fashion at all, then you should be doing this course at EIT. The opportunities are bigger than you think. It is not just about being a fashion designer. You gain skills that open doors to styling, marketing, upholstery, modelling, PR, event coordination and more.”

The students agree that the experience gave them insights not only into how Fashion Week operates, but also into how they might run their own future shows.

“It highlighted what is really important to get right, from lighting and staging to organisation backstage,” Candice said. “We can take that forward into our own end-of-year runway show at EIT.”

Emma added that the best part was connecting with others in the industry.

“We met so many people, made contacts, and got to see the industry up close. I would definitely do it again.”

TEO leadership webinars
TEC is offering a series of webinars to support TEO leadership with the transition from careers.govt.nz to Tahatū Career Navigator.
The webinars will be hosted by TEC’s Nina Ive, Deputy Chief Executive, Careers & Investment Design and will cover key aspects of the new website, including our data sources and how qualifications are displayed in Tahatū Career Navigator.
We are emailing TEOs with more details on the webinars and how to register. If you haven’t received your email or for any queries, please contact the TEC Customer Contact Team, phone 0800 601 301 or email customerservice@tec.govt.nz.
Our data
Tahatū Career Navigator is built around 3 core sets of data:

School subjects – using National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) achievement standards data from the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA).
Career ideas – using data about jobs and pay from Stats NZ’s population census data, Statistics New Zealand’s Integrated Data Infrastructure and Inland Revenue data.
Qualifications and courses – using information TEOs provide to TEC.

For more information on where our data comes from, see:
Our data – Tahatū Career Navigator
Check back here in early October to see a video we’re creating to explain Tahatū Career Navigator’s key data concepts and what makes it unique.
Additional qualifications data
In late October 2025, additional qualifications-related data (previously referred to as Key Information for Students [KIS] on careers.govt.nz) will be added to Tahatū Career Navigator as follows:

Work-based training and qualifications above and below Level 5 (where available).
Expanding percentile range of study fees.
Information on the Government’s subsidy contribution to qualification study fees.
Post-study and training earnings at one, three and five years.
Destinations post-study/training, including overseas opportunities.

The following infosheets explain qualification clusters and the above additional qualification data in relation to provider-based and work-based provision. The new data gives greater insight into learner outcomes following study and training.

Important information for TEOs
As headlined earlier this year, there are other key changes coming with Tahatū Career Navigator that affect TEOs as detailed below.
Transitioning to a new KIS button and linking your qualifications to Tahatū Career Navigator
We will soon be providing a new KIS button along with a guide on how to link your organisation’s qualifications to Tahatū Career Navigator.
Updating your website links from careers.govt.nz to Tahatū Career Navigator
The careers.govt.nz website will be retired in early December 2025 now that Tahatū Career Navigator is available for all New Zealanders.
If you currently have links to careers.govt.nz on your website, these will continue to work for now, but after 3 December 2025 they will automatically redirect to Tahatū Career Navigator. To make sure your audiences continue to receive the most relevant careers information, we’ve prepared updated links to Tahatū Career Navigator that you can easily swap in.
What you need to do before 3 December 2025:

Check your website for any links to careers.govt.nz.
Replace them with the new Tahatū Career Navigator links we’ve provided below (Excel and PDF versions provided).

Please note: You can make these changes any time before 3 December 2025.

careers.govt.nz will be retired in early December 2025
The careers.govt.nz website will be retired in early December 2025, with targeted redirects to Tahatū Career Navigator in place from that time through to the end of February 2026.
We are working with our stakeholders to provide them with specific Tahatū Career Navigator page links to replace any careers.govt.nz page links they have on their websites. If you would like to know more about this, please email the TEC Customer Service Team at customerservice@tec.govt.nz.
A new career practice hub is under development
Most of the careers.govt.nz resources will continue to be available through a new career practice hub currently being developed for career practitioners. The hub will be accessible via the Tahatū Career Navigator website ahead of careers.govt.nz being retired.
As part of this transition, resources are being reviewed, and where needed, refreshed to ensure they remain relevant, practical, and fit for the future of career practice. Resources will continue to be added to the hub over time.
