Anger over lack of bus service 

ANDREW KING 

Bishopdale residents are angry 

that no changes will be made 

to bus routes after a recent 

study showed the area was well 

served by public transport. 

Bus routes throughout the city 

were revamped by Environment 

Canterbury in 2014 due to 

falling numbers on certain 

routes. 

ECan met with the 

Bishopdale Community Trust 

and residents to address their 

concerns that the area does not 

have an adequate bus service. 

ECan said a report from 

Abley Transportation 

Consultants found the 

Bishopdale community is wellserved 

by public transport, with 

no immediate need for change. 

But trust community 

development worker Tania 

Smith said residents need a 

direct route in to town from 

Bishopdale. 

“They need to get into town 

and Papanui, as most of the 

health care services for people 

in Bishopdale are in those 

areas,” she said. 

She said the community had 

been lobbying for the Orbiter to 

come to the area for “about 20 

years.” 

TRANSPORT WOES: Bishopdale Communtiy Trust development worker Tania Smith (left), with Julie 

Omand, Tracey Neithe, Maggie Manley (front) and Josie Venus, says residents need a direct bus into the 

city rather than having to transfer from bus to bus. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

However, ECan said it would 

cost between $301,950 to 

$312,750 per year to re-route 

the Orbiter, taking into account 

estimated fare revenue from 

additional passengers. 

ECan commissioner Rex 

Williams said it was important 

to get regular feedback from 

the community to ensure it runs 

the best service possible for 

customers. 

“Because we received a lot of 

negative feedback after making 

changes in Bishopdale, we 

asked Abley to do a review of 

the bus routes in this area. As 

a result of this investigation, 

no immediate changes will be 

made to the Bishopdale bus 

services in the short-term,” he 

said. 

He said the area may be 

looked at again as part of a 

wider review of the network 

starting later this year. 

Bishopdale resident Fiona 

Simons said they understood 

the old route would not be 

re-established, but a direct line 

into the city was needed. 

“They are nice enough 

people [ECan] but they looked 

like they had made up their 

minds before the meeting,” she 

said. 

HAVE YOUR SAY: Should 

Bishopdale have a bus that 

travels directly into the city?

TRAFFIC MONITORING 

The Fendalton-Waimairi 

Community Board have asked 

city council traffic engineering 

staff to monitor traffic and 

pedestrian use of the Harewood, 

Breens and Gardiners Rds 

intersection. Monitoring is 

needed to verify whether 

there are any continuing 

pedestrian safety issues. Recent 

submissions from residents and 

a nearby school has indicated 

that monitoring is needed. 

CENTRE ON TRACK 

The tender for the Bishopdale 

Community Centre and 

Library is currently out for its 

construction. The approved 

design for the new facility 

shows a combined library and 

community hall joined by an 

atrium. The library includes a 

330 sq m collection space and 

can also open out to a deck. The 

adjacent meeting spaces can be 

booked by community groups, 

and will also be available after 

hours when the library is closed. 

ROAD CLOSED 

Dover St in St Albans will 

be closed for three days from 

tomorrow while a wastewater 

main is being repaired. The 

closure will be between number 

33 Dover St and Radnor St. 

Between 6pm and 7am the work 

area will be steel plated so that 

one-way southbound traffic can 

be maintained.

Speed limits near schools 

Shirley- 

Papanui 

Community 

Board 

member 

Emma 

Norrish says 

that the 

speed limit 

should be reduced around 

schools to 40km/h. What are 

you views? Email andrew. 

king@starmedia.kiwi 

Extensive research has 

shown that a pedestrian hit by 

a car travelling at 40km/h or 

less will have a significantly 

reduced level of injury 

compared with 50km/h. 

The question then needs 

to be asked – why is there 

not a blanket 40km/h speed 

restriction covering all schools 

across New Zealand? 

We’ve all seen the flashing 

signs outside various schools 

around Christchurch indicating 

that a school zone exists, and 

requiring us to reduce our 

speed to 40km/h as we pass. 

These signs were first 

installed on a trial basis in 

Christchurch in 2000, and 

research showed that they were 

SOAP 

BOX 

effective in bringing down the 

speed of motorists. 

Since then, all schools in the 

city have been put on a priority 

list for the installation of such 

signs, and the city council is 

working through the list and 

installing a few each year – at 

a cost ranging from $40,000- 

$75,000 per school. 

The city council’s long 

term plan 2015-2025 has 

$1,546,000 budgeted for the 

installation of these school 

speed zone signs over the 

course of 10 years. 

In discussions over one of 

these school zones at a Shirley- 

Papanui Community Board 

meeting last month, I brought 

up the question of whether this 

could be something that be

legislated on at a national 

level – with a nationwide 

speed limit of 40km/h around 

all schools. 

This would make the roads 

around all of our schools 

safer, instead of just selected 

areas, and it would save local 

authorities the burden of 

having to fund the required 

signage. 

The fact that it would 

be nationwide would also 

remove any possible confusion 

between different schools and 

different regions. 

Our board has requested that 

the city council submit this 

proposal to central government 

in order to raise awareness and 

instigate a change for all of our 

communities’ safety.

Be careful with heating 

in the cold weather 

MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK 

MANAGEMENT OFFICER 

It seems to have taken forever 

but this week I finally left for 

work with ice on the truck 

windscreen. 

We’re only a fortnight from 

winter proper and from here 

on I’d expect the climate will 

reflect that. 

This means all those things 

that colder weather bring us can 

be expected to happen. Things 

like seeing walls or wood sheds 

burnt down because someone 

has taken the ash out in the 

wrong type of container and left 

it in the wrong place. 

Things like electric blankets 

left on too long with weight 

on them setting beds on fire. 

Things like the placing of stuff 

that can burn too close to a 

heater or fire. It’s time to be just 

a bit more careful. 

This week’s weather included 

the very high winds that struck 

on Monday night. 

The Fire Service were turned 

out to about 15 calls related 

to the big blow. From power 


lines down to roofs lifting these 

were widespread throughout the 

region. Little River’s brigade 

were turned out to three separate 

trees over within an hour. 

The city crew was sent to an 

empty fire damaged house that 

threatened to lose the roof and 

a whole two-storey wall. It was 

busy for an hour or two. 

The church in Bishopdale 

that was set alight last Sunday 

morning is a pretty sad commentary 

on the modern world. 

Once churches were places 

anyone could go for sanctuary. 

Now they need locked doors and 

security. Not a great reflection 

on progress is it?

Youth offenders to benefit 

from bicycle repair project 

Prisoners may be given a bicycle 

on their release, thanks to a new 

youth offender project. 

A repair workshop has been 

set up in a disused shed at 

Christchurch Men’s Prison, 

which has youth offenders 

repairing old bicycles. 

Once they are ready they are 

given to released prisoners who 

may be in need of the most basic 

means of transport in their early 

days of release. 

The idea came from Youth 

Unit staff who have been 

coming up with innovative ideas 

to provide the youth prisoners 

with activities. 

Principal Corrections Officer 

Gary Smallridge said the focus 

of the project is to identify 

ways to keep youth engaged in 

education and learning. 

“We aim to provide activities 

that not only occupy the young 

prisoner’s time but also add to 

their learning, with tasks that a 

typical young person would be 

interested in,” he said. 

The project is proving to be 

a hit with the youth offenders, 

said youth unit corrections

officer Kieran Giles, who is 

helping with the project. 

Mr Giles said he has combined 

his bicycle mechanical and 

adventure outdoor experience 

to help young men learn real 

mechanical skills. 

The Pathway Trust has been 

supplying tools to repair and 

restore the bicycles. 

He said he intends to 

refurbish the old prison 

bicycles before being provided 

with disused ones from the 

community through The 

Pathway Trust’s donations.

Elizabeth Challies 

Puzzle expert in the zone 

Bishopdale resident Elizabeth Challies, 34, was recently crowned the 

2016 New Zealand open vaki puzzle and sudoku champion. She bounced 

back from narrowly losing last year by seven points to register a record 

score of 14,195. She speaks to Andrew King 

Elizabeth, you are the New 

Zealand Sudoku champion, 

how does that feel? 

It feels pretty good. I was 

really pleased with my score because 

I did better than last year. 

I was really in the zone that day. 

So it is all about the personal 

score rather than beating 

other players? 

Pretty much. I think the score 

matters more as I am trying to 

beat myself. I like to see improvement 

in everything I do. 

So when you found out you 

had won how did that feel? 

I actually thought there might 

have been a problem with the 

website when I saw my score. 

But then I realised I had beaten 

my last year’s score by quite a 

bit so I got pretty excited. Last 

year I placed second, I was extra 

determined this year as I had 

lost last year by the tiniest of 

margins. 

What did you win? 

The New Zealand Puzzle Association 

is posting a medal and 

a shirt to me for being the New 

Zealand champion. 

Tell me what it is like to 

compete in a sudoku tournament? 

It is a really friendly sort of 

competition because everyone 

is really competing with themselves. 

It is online and you can 

have as many goes as you want 

so there really is no pressure. 

I get the puzzle and just dive 

straight in, then it is just me and 

the puzzle. 

How did you get into sudoku? 

I have always loved puzzles. I 

like to try all them out and they 

are so accessible so I can get 

them anywhere. I have been into 

them since I was a little kid. 

What made you want to 

start competitively doing 

sudoku? 

I found the website when I 

was poking around on the internet, 

did a few for fun then saw 

there was a competition and 

said might as well have a go. 

Do you win prize money for 

the events? 

That would be nice, but no. It 

is all about personal satisfaction 

for me anyway, I just 

Watch 

Repairs 

want to beat my last score. 

What was the first puzzle 

you did? 

I can’t remember what I got 

into first. I know I started off 

with puzzle books that have a 

variety of different ones in it to 

challenge myself. 

Where did she go to school? 

I went to Burnside High. 

Tell me a bit about how 

school was for you? 

I quite enjoyed school. I was 

quite motivated and kept my 

head down. 

Were you good at maths at 

school? 

At high school I was good 

at maths and science. But 

at primary school I was

Professor to be 

awarded rare honour 

to win title 

Does being able to think logically 

to solve puzzles help you 

with your job? 

Well, I work at the post office 

so it doesn’t really help all that 

much. Thinking logically really 

helps me with puzzles but it gets 

a bit much sometimes so I have 

taken up abstract painting to pull 

myself in a new direction. 

Abstract painting, that’s a 

bit different from puzzles? 

Yes, it is but I love it. I like 

making a mess with the paint on 

a canvas. It is just something a 

bit different. 

Do you have any other hobbies? 

Painting is the main other 

hobby aside from puzzles. I also 

like going to the gym and I am 

part of a writers’ group. 

What do you do with the 

writers’ group? 

The writers are a group of 

people interested in writing and 

reading. It is a lot of fun and I 

have met a few good people in 

it. 

Speaking of friends, do you 

get them coming to you for 

sudoku pointers? 

Not really. Most people say 

I can’t do those but they have 

never attempted to do one. I tell 

them to chose an easy one and 

give it a go. You never know you 

could be good at them. 

Have you ever been completely 

stumped by a sudoku 

puzzle? 

Yes, I have. I find sometimes 

when I get stuck I put it away 

then come back to it and then I 

find I can work it out quite easy. 

Sometimes you look and look 

and look and can’t see what the 

pattern is, when that happens it 

is best to put it away and come 

back to it later while you mind 

is fresh. 

Was this year’s score your 

best ever? 

Yes 14,195 is my best score 

ever. It is tallied by a combination 

of time and points. You lose 

a point for every second you 

spend solving a puzzle, gain 

points for a correct placement 

and lose points for a mistake. At 

the end of the thirty minutes the 

four highest scores from solved 

puzzles are added together and 

that is your championship score. 

You can chose the size and difficultly 

of the puzzle, bigger ones 

get you more points so you work 

out which one will you will able 

to complete in the time allowed. 

Now you are the New Zealand 

champion, will you try be 

the world champion? 

I hadn’t thought of that. I 

would have to look into it. 

Former St Andrew’s College 

student Professor Roy Kerr 

will be awarded the rare 

honour of the title Canterbury 

Distinguished Professor in 

November. 

It is the highest academic 

title that can be awarded by the 

University Council and has only 

been won twice before in Canterbury 

University’s 143-year 

history. 

Professor Kerr (right) was 

nominated for the title after he 

won the Crafoord Prize, which 

he will receive in Sweden in 

two days time. 

The new appointment makes 

Professor Kerr the only Canterbury 

Distinguished Professor in 

New Zealand. 

Canterbury University chancellor 

Dr John Wood said the 

previous distinguished professors 

were both Nobel Prize winners, 

the late Sir Clive Granger, 

recipient of the Nobel Prize for 

Economic Sciences, and Robert 

Grubbs, who was awarded a 

Nobel Prize in Chemistry. 

“We are extremely proud of 

Professor Kerr’s long association 

with the University of Canterbury 

and all that he has done 

to increase our understanding of 

the universe,” he said. 

Dr Wood notes that the Royal 

Society of London described his 

work as of particular importance 

to general relativistic 

astrophysics, and all subsequent 

detailed work on black holes 

has depended fundamentally 

on it. 

“He has made other important 

contributions to general relativity 

theory but the discovery 

of the Kerr black hole was so 

extraordinary that it is comparable 

to the discovery of a new 

elementary particle,” he said. 

Professor Kerr retired as Professor 

of Mathematics at Canterbury 

University in 1993 after 

22 years, including a decade 

as the head of the mathematics 

department. 

At its December 2015 graduation 

ceremonies, the university 

conferred a Doctor of Science 

on Professor Kerr. 

The Crafoord Prize award 

ceremony will be held at the 

Royal Swedish Academy of 

Sciences in Stockholm, in the 

presence of HM King Carl XVI 

Gustaf of Sweden.

Following in 

father’s footsteps 

FRASER WALKER- 

PEARCE 

Shirley baseball player 

Nikau Pouaka-Grego has 

been named the first ever 

under 13 New Zealand 

player of the year. 

Baseball New Zealand 

named Nikau, 11, as the 

recipient during its first 

national awards evening on 

May 14 in Auckland. 

He is the son of Todd 

Grego, a former Australian 

baseball representative, 

who also played softball 

for New Zealand. 

Canterbury Baseball 

Association president 

Brian Hemera said Nikau 

“starred” in last year’s 

New Zealand Ripken All 

Star under 13 team when 

he was only 10 years old. 

He has been selected 

again for the 2016 Ripken 

team this year. 

Nikau was unsure he 

would be picked for this 

year’s New Zealand 

Ripken side, and said it 

was “painful” waiting for 

the call from the coaches. 

“Yeah it was exciting 

to be picked, but pretty 

painful waiting for that 

call. I kept in contact with 

quite a few guys who all 

got in, and they let me 

know when they got in,” 

he said. 

Mr Grego coaches his 

son’s under 13 club team, 

the Christchurch Redbirds, 

based in Parklands, as well 

as the under 15s side. 

But he said schooling is 

the number one priority for 

his son. 

“We really do put 

pressure on him for school 

work and things like that 

as well. That’s his number 

one, and baseball is a backup 

plan . . . but absolutely 

baseball it’s his number 

one love. He wants to go 

to a college in America and 

then turn pro,” he said. 

Nikau said if he had the 

choice of American

colleges to attend, he 

would go for the big ones. 

“Yes, I want to go to 

some of the top colleges, 

like UCLA (University of

University), or Vanderbilt 

University, Virginia. It’s 

been my dream since I was 

five,” he said.

Exciting New Information 

& Service Centre for Seniors 

LIfe CAn get tougher as we get older, 

and it’s often easy to think that we should 

simply struggle on. Yet a huge range of 

services is available to make life easier. 

Because these services are sometimes 

difficult to find, a new non-profit 

Centre for Senior Wellbeing has been 

established. They offer a useful mix of 

affordable services and information on 

other community services such as falls 

Prevention and Green Prescriptions. 

Their desk is manned by dedicated staff 

who will connect you to the services you 

need. Although much of this information 

can be found on-line, for many this is a 

burden and talking to a ‘real person’ is 

much more pleasant. 

Problems with feet is a real issue 

for many older people with limited 

flexibility. The Centre offers inhome 

footcare for a reasonable fee. 

Additionally, there are services provided 

by dieticians to help with weight gain 

or loss, nutrition and shopping. Also 

occupational therapists who help 

maintain independence, safety in the 

home, and practical strategies for 

coping with issues like memory loss and 

pain. Speech and language therapists 

support those with swallowing and 

communication concerns. Physiotherapy, 

in-clinic or at home, can help you stay 

mobile, reduce pain and increase wellness. 

A particularly beneficial and underused 

service is Caring for Carers. Many 

of us caring for our loved ones see it as 

our duty and deal with the stresses this 

brings on a daily basis. Caring for Carers 

has helped carers through their range of 

services for years, such as information on 

respite care. 

Exercise for life 

The Centre for Senior Wellbeing will 

put you in touch with service providers 

like Physical Sense. They offer a range of 

practical support-solutions to problems 

many seniors encounter. There are 

exercise classes for stroke survivors where 

clients can either further improve or at 

least maintain their condition after they 

leave hospital. There are four classes a 

week which help with strength, balance 

and transferrable skills. There are also 

other diagnosis-specific classes including 

Intermittent Claudication, Diabetes and 

Osteoporosis which means users can learn 

about their condition and share their ways 

of dealing with it. There’s even a general 

class for seniors. The first four classes are 

free and may continue to be free if you are 

Physical Sense Gym & Physio is

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

Herbs & Natural Ingredients Give Powerful 

Support For Your Immune System! 

ReSeARcHeRS HAve shown that 

certain herbs and natural ingredients 

can dramatically reduce your chances of 

succumbing to colds and flu. 

Formulas like Go Healthy “Go vir- 

Defence” has been based on the latest 

research and has already proved itself too 

many. 

Due to the high potency extracts used 

in this formula most will find only one or 

two capsule daily sufficient to keep our 

immune system at optimum, however at 

the first sign of any immune attack, e.g. 

headaches, sore throat, aches etc the dose 

should be increased to one or two capsules 

up to three times daily. Most will then 

find the symptoms will disappear quickly 

without getting worse. 

Go vir-Defence contains the following 

powerful ingredients: 

Olive Leaf extract has become one of 

the most popular ingredients used in the 

treatment of immune attacks as it has 

strong anti-microbial properties that help 

slow the growth of bacteria and prevent 

the replication of viruses. 

Garlic extract is effective in combating 

bacteria, viruses and fungi and supporting 

the immune system. in general it may be 

used as a preventative for most infectious 

conditions, digestive as well as respiratory. 

The anti-microbial action makes it suitable 

for treatment of respiratory infections, 

influenza, recurrent colds and respiratory 

catarrh. 

Andrographis extract has powerful 

immune enhancing properties and has 

been shown to help prevent the common 

cold as well as reduce the duration and 

severity of the symptoms of the common 

cold. 

echinacea extract is a natural antibiotic 

and infection fighter. it helps kill bacteria, 

viruses and fungi and provides powerful 

immune support. 

Pau D’ Arco extract assists in enhancing 

the body’s immune system. 

citrus Bioflavonoids work with vitamin 

c and support the immune system as well 

as strengthening capillaries and reducing 

inflammation. 

vitamin c is a powerful antioxidant and 

helps counteract many types of bacteria 

and viral infections. 

elderberry extract provides nutrients for 

immune support. 

Zinc is an essential mineral for the 

immune system and general health. it is 

required by every cell in the body. it is 

common to have sub-optimal levels of 

Zinc. Zinc possesses anti-viral activity. 

Generally this all-natural formula is 

very safe and highly effective without any 

side effects but due to the high potency 

extracts used please check with us first if 

you are on any prescription medication. 

This formula is also not suitable during 

pregnancy or lactation.

TURMERIC - The spice 

with profound healing abilities 

An Ancient spice called turmeric and 

its active ingredient curcumin have been 

proven to reduce and even eliminate pain 

and inflammation better than leading 

prescription medications. inflammation 

seems to be the common factor in 

all disease and even aging. turmeric 

effectively reduces inflammation while also 

stopping the initiation of inflammation in 

the first place. By stopping inflammation 

at the source it seems to work wonders for 

aches, pains, swelling and arthritis while 

at the same time supporting the healing 

process with its powerful antioxidants. This 

is where anti-inflammatory drugs fail, they 

only disguise the problem but do nothing 

to support the healing process and in fact 

may even allow the problem to worsen. 

india is a country where turmeric is 

highly respected for its health giving 

benefits. it is consumed on a regular basis 

and researchers believe this is probably 

the reason many common diseases are far 

less common in india that other countries. 

A study of 2,700 elderly indians in rural 

north india found less than 1% had any 

sign of Alzheimer’s, the lowest rate ever 

recorded, whereas compared to America 

the rate is now closer to 33%. 

The #1 cancer center in America, MD 

Anderson, now uses turmeric with its 

cancer patients. Dr. Bharat Aggarwal, 

lead researcher at MD Anderson says 

they have not found a single cancer that 

curcumin has not worked. curcumin binds 

to 33 proteins, allowing it to interrupt a 

multitude of pathways tumors use to grow 

and spread, including the growth of new 

blood vessels that feed tumors. it can even 

cause the cancer cells to “commit suicide” 

without damaging healthy cells. 

curcumin appears to be a potent weapon 

against cardiovascular disease also. in 

recent research it was shown to lower 

triglycerides (considered a major risk 

factor for cardiovascular disease) by 65%. 

Another study found it to decrease oxidised 

LDL cholesterol by 33% while increasing 

the HDL (good cholesterol) by 29%, and all 

this in only seven days. 

Researchers have now shown curcumin 

to be beneficial in over 600 diseases 

including type 2 diabetes and even 

depression. 

The secret with turmeric is its active 

ingredient curcumin. curcumin however 

has low bio-availability so not much will 

be absorbed into our bloodstream. Meriva 

as used in GO-tURMeRic has overcome 

this problem with its patented molecular 

delivery system that offers superior 

absorption of curcumin. Because of this 

enhanced absorption GO-tURMeRic has 

the potential to be beneficial in numerous 

ailments and offer significantly greater 

benefits than standard turmeric.

The Spice with a Profound Healing Ability! 

TURMERIC 

Researchers cannot believe how effective turmeric & its active ingredient curcumin 

is proving in supporting the natural healing of the body, with some calling it a natural 

cure-all. It has been found beneficial in well over 600 diseases. Research has shown 

a common factor with disease is inflammation & this is where curcumin is amazing. 

It naturally reduces inflammation present while also stopping inflammation from 

starting in the first place. This allows the body a much better chance of healing itself. 

Studies have shown curcumin to be more beneficial than common prescription drugs 

for pain, swelling & inflammation. 

Curcumin however is normally poorly absorbed in the 

body but a patented extra called MERIVA (available as GO- 

TURMERIC) has overcome this with their molecular delivery 

system. Meriva is significantly better absorbed giving it the 

potential to support the healing of numerous ailments. 

Curcumins have been shown to support: 

• Joint health, reducing pain, swelling, inflammation & stiffness 

GO-TURMERIC 

contains the advanced 

MERIVA-CURCUMIN for 

Superior Results 

• Cardiovascular health, reduces risk factors like CRP (C-Reactive Protein), 

increases good HDL cholesterol while reducing oxidised LDL cholesterol, 

lowers triglycerides (considered a major risk factor for heart disease) by as 

much as 65%, supports healthy blood flow 

• The body’s natural healing process & without side effects 

• Cancer (According to Dr. Bharat Aggarwal, lead researcher at MD Anderson, 

the #1 cancer center in America, they have not found a single cancer that 

curcumin has not been beneficial 

• Alzheimer’s & dementia (several small studies have shown dramatic benefits 

even in advanced stages) 

• Depression (Two recent trials have shown curcumin highly beneficial) 

• Diabetes (One study by the “American Diabetes Association” found curcumin to 

be 100% effective in preventing type 2 diabetes. Other studies have shown it 

to protect against diabetes-related complications.)

I have never regretted my 

decision to go to Hillmorton 

High School. I genuinely 

believe it helped shape me into 

the person I am today. 

Hillmorton was a combination 

of different people and cultures 

like no other place I had been 

– it made me learn to deal 

with many types of people. 

The school was smaller than 

others in the area which I liked: 

I wanted to be a person not a 

number. 

I had so many great experiences 

at Hillmorton – playing in the 

school softball and netball teams 

and going to tournaments, being 

When it came time to choosing 

a high school, my parents asked 

me which Open Nights I would 

like to attend. My response was 

‘Hillmorton’. I am more than 

pleased with my decision to 

study at Hillmorton and do not 

regret it in the slightest. 

Hillmorton provided me with a 

wealth of opportunities to learn 

in different environments, and 

challenged me to achieve with 

each and every opportunity. 

I was also lucky enough to meet 

a great “melting pot” of people, 

Hillmorton High 

helped me realise 

my passion and 

to not be afraid to 

go after what feels 

right. I discovered 

that it’s okay to 

live differently 

and not go for 

the job that was 

stable, that paid 

the most or that 

was expected by 

others. Hillmorton 

helped me find 

myself. I also 

began to learn and 

accept challenges 

that were and 

are bigger than 

myself, and learn 

to never yield or give up but to 

push further than what I think I 

am capable of.

Looking back at my time at 

Hillmorton I know now that I 

would never have got through 

that critical time in my life 

without the support of my 

teachers and peers. Hillmorton 

is like a family.

The teachers are second-tonone, 

and genuinely care about 

the education of their students. 

They, and the other Hillmorton 

staff, encourage students to 

achieve to the best of their 

abilities, whilst also making 

time to help those students who 

need additional assistance. 

Hillmorton lives by its vision – 

Personal best, nothing less! 

The education I received at Hillmorton 

has prepared me admirably for starting 

university this year. Teachers at 

Hillmorton always went the extra mile 

to make their subjects challenging and 

interesting, and support was always 

there. 

Hillmorton provides a diverse 

cultural environment as well as 

After graduating from 

Hillmorton High School in 

2012, I enrolled at the University 

of Canterbury to study for a 

Bachelor of Engineering in 

Civil Engineering. 

Now in my final year of the 

degree, I am well on my way 

to achieving this with first 

class honours. I received the 

University of Canterbury Senior 

Scholarship. 

Currently, I have the 

extraordinary opportunity of 

completing some of my study 

at the University of California 

at Berkeley. During high school 

heaps of sporting, musical and drama 

opportunities which makes its students 

such strong, well-rounded citizens. 

After almost a semester at university, 

I’m getting a sense that in order to 

succeed here, you need to get along 

well with everyone and to study hard. 

Hillmorton taught me the importance 

of both.

Looking forward to next year,

84 Northwood Boulevard, Northwood 

Auction: Thursday, June 2, 2016 at 10am (unless sold prior) 

5 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 2 living rooms |1 dining room | 2-car garage | Listing #: PI43328 

When our owners built their 

family home, they placed 

a huge emphasis on both 

quality and space, creating 

an expansive 298.7-square-metre (over 

foundation) residence, which is as functional 

as it is stylish and well-appointed. 

A total of five bedrooms are complemented 

by three bathrooms, including an ensuite off 

the master, ensuite of second bedroom and 

a main bathroom that features a sumptuous 

spa bath. 

The kitchen is large, with a skylight bathing 

the entire area in natural light and an array 

of quality appliances, ensuring the ability to 

cater to all occasions. 

The 2.7-metre stud enhances the sense 

of space in the living and family rooms, 

while bold splashes of colour punctuate the 

otherwise neutral palette, creating plenty of 

personality while still leaving scope for the 

new owners to leave their own mark. 

Indoor/outdoor flow was a priority 

in the design phase, and the brief was 

certainly fulfilled. Two of the bedrooms 

enjoy direct access outside, while the open 

plan living areas spill effortlessly out to the 

manicured grounds. 

The 708m2 section plays host to outstanding 

established gardens and detailed BBQ area 

(with power and lighting), while an oversized 

double garage and an abundance of off-street 

parking complete the appeal. 

Offered to the market by owners who have 

decided the home is simply too big for them 

now the kids have gone, this fabulous home 

represents a compelling opportunity for 

families of all shapes and sizes. Act quickly, as

Karrin Allyson with the 

Tom Warrington Trio 

INTERNATIONALLY renowned 

jazz vocalist Karrin Allyson and the 

Tom Warrington Trio are coming to 

New Zealand and play one 

Christchurch gig at the Jazz School 

Auditorium on Thursday 2nd June. 

The five time Grammy nominated 

chanteuse, who's career ha spanned 

the past three decades, is known for 

her impressive musical range and 

impeccable intonation. She glides 

effortlessly between bittersweet and 

sassy, covering the greats from Duke 

Ellington through to Dizzy Gillespie. 

Accompanying Karrin is the 

acclaimed Tom Warrington Trio. 

Made up of Tom on bass (Buddy 

Rich/Stan Getz), Joe La Barbera on 

drums (Bill Evans/Tony 

Bennett/Woody Herman) and Larry 

Koonse on guitar (Seth 

McFarlane/Cleo Lane), the ensemble oozes 

skill and experience. 

Be swept away by smooth jazz performed by 

these world class musicians direct from the 

USA. 

CPIT Jazz School Auditorium, 130 High 

Street. Tickets $38 GA/$20 Students, available 

at Eventfinda.
