A report written by Christchurch East Youth MP Beth Walters in 2016. The purpose of the report is to present the views of young people from Eastern Christchurch. More than 50 young people from Aranui High School, Linwood College and Mairehau High School were surveyed on a range of questions related to living in the East: Use one word to describe how you feel about living in the Eastside of Christchurch What do you like about living in the Eastside of Christchurch? What don't you like about your community? What do you think can be done to change it? If you had the option would you stay? The report contains raw data, themes and overall findings from the survey.
A photograph captioned, "So they gradually go".
Caption reads: "I lived in London all through the Blitz, you get used to these things. Living here after the earthquakes didn’t bother me. I had a small battery operated radio and the neighbour lent me her generator. Initially I used it to run the fridge but after a while I couldn’t get it started. I don’t want to move, to be quite honest. There’s nothing that will be able to replace the life I built here."

Six winning designs were chosen from the 995 votes made online or at the displays at Community and Public Health and the Migrant Centre. The six winners were announced at the Healthy Christchurch Hui on the 31st May 2012. Each winning student received a Certificate and a $50 Scorpio Book Voucher. The awards were presented by Michelle Mitchell, General Manager of the CERA Wellbeing Team."

A photograph captioned, "I guess the only good thing that came out of the earthquake is that we know the residents better. It definitely bought people together, and the support was incredible. If you didn't know your neighbours before, you definitely knew them after the quake. We made friends out of this".
