says Ms Collins. The sector is well on track to achieving our Better Public Services targets by 2017 to reduce overall crime by 15 per cent, violent crime by 20 per cent, reoffending by 25 per cent and youth crime by 25 per cent.
Latest BPS results to June 2013 show the total crime rate is down 12 percent, the violent crime rate is down 8 per cent, the re-offending rate is down 11 per cent and youth crime is down significantly by 19 per cent. But were not resting on our laurels. Our progress to date puts us in a strong
position to improve the efficiency and accessibility of our court system. I thank the Ministry of Justice, Police, Corrections, Courts and my Justice sector ministerial colleagues for their continued and unrelenting focus on reducing crime, making New Zealand safer for us all.

I thank Principal David Tennent, teachers and especially the students for the wonderful reception and for being such brilliant hosts.
Kereru Park Campus is now home to a new special needs satellite unit opened by Judith Collins MP earlier this year. The unit is run by Rosehill School and has two specially designed classrooms to accommodate between 15 and 20 special needs children within the Kereru Park Campus grounds. Its fantastic to see our community dedicated to our students. I congratulate everyone involved including Rosehill Schools Principal Glenn Nicholson and Kereru Park Campus Principal George Ihimaera, says Ms Collins. Its wonderful that these children are able to have the specialised attention and care they need while not missing out on the benefits of being part of a mainstream school environment. This unit is a welcome addition to the existing Rosehill School satellite structure in Papakura with units already established at Rosehill Intermediate School and Rosehill College.
More Papakura school leavers have NCEA Level 1, Level 2 and University Entrance qualifications.

This year Hon Judith Collins was awarded an Honorary Life Membership to the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) for her association and support of veterans, widows and descendants of the group.

New Zealanders, says Ms Collins. Ms Collins says the Corporations performance also means its better placed to take a more dynamic but sustainable approach to injury
prevention. ACC is increasing its focus on injury prevention because this is always the best option. It actually has the potential to be world leader in this field, says Ms
Collins. ACC is doing a better job for all New Zealanders and is well on track to building its reputation as more than just an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff.
Kindergarten butterfly project Rheumatic Fever programme receives boost goes live in local schools
After announcing expansion of the Mana Kidz Programme into the Papakura electorate earlier this year, Judith Collins MP says it was a privilege to officially launch the programme in local schools. The Mana Kids Programme will raise awareness about rheumatic fever and other common health issues and provide free school-based sore throat clinics for children aged 5-14 years, says Ms Collins.

In Counties Manukau alone we had 51 unique cases of acute rheumatic fever admitted last year. Its critical that we promote sore throat checks to ensure that both children and parents, especially those in high risk communities, are well informed. As a result of this wider Government approach almost 25,000 students in South Auckland are now part of the prevention programme. This is wonderful news.
Judith Collins MP presented Papakura West Kindergarten with a cheque on behalf of the New Zealand Glass Environment Fund for development of their monarch butterfly tagging project. Projects like these teach our children to value and take care of their environment from an early age
through hands-on activities, says Ms Collins. Im sure the children are excited to get moving with their new butterfly enclosure and I congratulate Papakura West Kindergarten and Cathy Curry for their efforts in this meaningful and innovative project.
Judith Collins MP congratulates Takanini Neighbourhood Policing Team Sergeant Kelly Brown on the Counties Manukau District receiving 1344 smart devices, the largest allocation nationwide.
Police Officers in Counties Manukau, including Papakura, have received the largest allocation of smart devices nationwide. Judith Collins MP says the roll-out of the devices will allow officers to spend an extra 30 minutes per shift on the frontline amounting to over half a million frontline hours nationwide. The amount of frontline hours freed up by this initiative is equivalent to 48 Police Officers here in our own Counties Manukau policing district, says Ms Collins. Police are now able to spend more time in our communities, protecting New Zealanders and preventing crime.
