Boycott ends cafe business
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A COMMUNITY boycott has
led to the planned shutdown of
the Te Hapua: Halswell Centre
cafe.
Last week, the city council announced
that a new cafe operator
would be sought to take over
from Wellington-based cafe,
Wishbone.
Wishbone is to leave the centre
after it came to a “mutual agreement”
with the city council.
In February, the Western News
reported that Halswell residents
had called for a boycott of the
cafe because it was not a locally
based business.
Wishbone general manager Jo
Parang said it had suggested to
the city council that it find a new
operator after public “backlash”
contributed to its business decision
to leave.
The Western News has learned
that the boycott has had a
large commercial affect on the
cafe.
Ms Parang said some residents
felt it was “quite unjust” that a
Wellington company was being
branded as local.
The Halswell Community
Project, which called for the
boycott, said it had highlighted
the importance of getting a cafe
operator more in
touch with the local
community.
Chairwoman
Chrys Horn
(right) said she
would not “pass
judgement” on

the cafe, but “imagined” it was
operating at a loss.
The Halswell Community
Project believed the city council
should be supporting local business.
The city council declined
to comment on whether Wishbone
was being replaced due to a
boycott from the community.
In February, the Western News
also reported that Ms Parang
said the cafe needed to be
accepted by the community.
She said Wishbone had been
working with the city council
to improve the ambience of the
cafe, including new furnishings
to make it feel more homely.
Deputy Mayor Vicki Buck said
she would not comment on the
reasons behind the change in
cafe operators.
She said it was irrelevant
and not appropriate for her to
comment on the reasons for the
change.
But she felt the community
would be pleased with the outcome.
A request for proposals is being
run by the city council.
The closing date for tenders is
August 3.

Quarry’s $1m underpass
• By Tom Doudney
FULTON HOGAN has spent
$1 million on installing an
underpass underneath a public
road to connect two sides of its
Miners Rd quarry in Yaldhurst.
The underpass, which links
the two 40ha sections of
quarry either side of the road,
is expected to reduce transport
costs for the company by saving
30,000 truck movements a year.
While its processing plant is
on the east side of Miners Rd,
most of its extraction is taking
place on the west side.
An electric conveyor belt
more than 1km long will
transport material for crushing
from one side to the other and
this is expected to be up
and running within the next
month.
Fulton Hogan environmental
manager Peter Savage said
getting the material from the
extraction areas to the
processing plant currently
involved a 2.5km round trip
for each truckload and the
company had wanted to find a
better way.
“Digging up Miners Rd
wasn’t an option,” Mr Savage
said.
“So quite simply, we ran the
numbers on the pure economics
of putting in an underpass
as opposed to carting with the
trucks.”
Not having to send so many
trucks across Miners Rd
would improve the traffic situation
for other road users as well.
“You can’t really put a price
on the safety aspect of taking
those trucks off the road and
obviously it also reduces the
emissions from those trucks,”
Mr Savage said.
The reduction in truck movements
was expected to reduce

the company’s CO2 emissions
by between 130 and 180 tonnes
a year.
Mr Savage said the conveyor
belt was “like a giant Meccano
set” which would have
extra sections bolted on to it as
needed to reach new extraction
areas in the quarry.
In Brief
SMOKEFREE ROCKQUEST
Three bands from western high
schools will compete in the
Canterbury regional final for the
Smokefree Rockquest at The Bedford
this Friday. High school bands from
Canterbury competed in heats last
month and now the top 12 bands
are set to play off for first and
second place prizes and a spot in the
national final in September. In The
City from Christchurch Boys’ High
School, Toastduty from Middleton
Grange School and Ancora from
Burnside High School will all
compete on the night.
FUNDING GRANTED
The city council has put aside
$500,000 in the 2016-17 budget to
fund additional work required at
Mona Vale gatehouse and a building
within Halswell Quarry Park for
commercial activities.
HALSWELL SKATE PARK
A final recommendation on the
site of the Halswell skate park and
recreation area will be made by the
end of next month. The Riccarton-
Wigram Community Board has
confirmed it expects to make a
final decision on the site on July 27,
following months of community
consultation. The city council is
looking at three possible locations
– Knights Stream Sports Park,
Halswell Domain and Westlake
Reserve.

McMaster & Heap
Veterinary practice
BLOOD SAVES LIVES
Steve Heap, at
McMaster & Heap,
has recently
performed 2 blood
transfusions in 5
days on young
dogs at the
Practice, both cases
in his own time.
This procedure
isn’t common
practice but when
you have a patient presented pale,
collapsed and bleeding out essentially, you
have to be geared up to immediately transfuse.
You also need a capable skilled team around
you as this isn’t a one person
job as you’ll see below. A blood
transfused patient needs to be
intensively monitored by a nurse to
make sure we don’t get transfusion
reactions ( ie tremors, vomiting,
labored breathing, swelling and skin
reactions, seizures, coma or cardiac
arrest). The important things are
having a team capable of performing
the transfusion and closely
monitoring the patient for reactions.
“Poppy” the Hungarian Visla made
a full recovery after her near death
experience of ingesting rat bait.
“Bella” the Airedale unfortunately
wasn’t so lucky. She initially improved,
but after a few weeks of intensive care
and huge amounts of love, was very sadly put
to sleep after complications with her kidneys.
This article is specially dedicated to Bella.
Obviously both cases required blood fast.
A dog can take another dogs blood ONCE
without being cross matched to check blood
type. We obtained 500mls of blood and 200mls
of plasma for Bella from the After Hours clinic
on a Sunday and Steve obtained 400mls of
blood from Clive, a German Short haired
pointer, for Poppy. We have the transfusion
bags and filters at work and the blood is
delivered slowly via IVF pumps over 2-3 hours.
A vet must sit with the patient the entire time
and monitor vitals. The blood is delivered via
large bore catheter into the cephalic vein. Both
dogs accepted the procedure
well – admittedly both
were very ill.
Having blood readily
available is helpful. We
didn’t but luckily were
able to source it fast. In
the past I’ve used Lola
for obtaining blood
from but since she’s had
cancer and received
chemotherapy, she now
isn’t a suitable candidate.
Six year old Bella presented initially for
unexplained bleeding from her bowel. After
a lengthy work up involving blood testing,
radiographs, abdominal ultrasound, bladder
catheterization and intensive care monitoring,
she deteriorated quickly and needed a blood
transfusion in the hope it would save her
life. She was losing large amounts of blood
from her urinary system and large bowel. Her
kidneys were failing, she was depressed and
inappetant. Despite intravenous fluids and
over 10 different medications she was still
deteriorating. We still don’t really know what
caused the huge blood loss but the transfusion
initially helped, providing her with clotting
factors, blood and an immune system to fight
whatever was going on.

www.mcmasterheap.co.nz
Poppy, the 14 month old Visla, knibbled on
RAT BAIT 3 days before presenting near death.
This poison destroys platelets and coagulation
factors and causes their victims to bleed to
death because they can’t clot blood. Within
hours Poppy would have died due to blood
loss into her chest, preventing oxygenation and
ventilation. She presented collapsed, was as
white as a sheet and in total respiratory distress
– she couldn’t breathe at all. Our amazing
team moved quickly, calling in Steve and Kirsty
who worked together over 4 hours – Kirsty
draining the blood from her chest ( the blood
was around her lungs) and Steve transfusing
her with Clive’s blood. She was monitored by
two nurses throughout
the procedure.
Her recovery was
instantaneous – after
being transfused she
basically leapt into the
back of the car, totally
transformed. She was
monitored carefully
at the After Hours
clinic that evening
and returned to us the
next day.
These two cases
highlight to me the
need for speed and
urgency in seeing
these cases ( whether
it be late at night or over a weekend),
dedication to our patients, commitment to our
clients and skilled and passionate professionals
prepared to go the extra mile. Our nurse took
the call from Poppy’s owner seriously, late on
a Thursday night when we were getting ready
to close. At that stage we had no idea Poppy
had ingested rat bait. She was just quiet and
very lethargic. Not the norm for a 14 month
old Visla! Our nurse also asked the colour of
Poppy’s gums and was told they were white!!
This raised alarm bells. Our consulting vet that
night was fully booked until 7pm so our nurse
called Steve, who immediately responded to
the call.
A special mention must be made to the
dedicated clients who trusted in us and
allowed us a chance at saving their dogs by
giving blood, which in itself isn’t without risks.
When we undertake a transfusion, we have
no real idea of outcome but we all do our very
best. Our patients all deserve a chance.
Dr Michele McMaster
This is specially dedicated to “Bella” who
was so stoic and fought so hard to make a
full recovery. She was a patient I’ll never
forget. No matter how sick she felt, she
always had a tail wag for me. She was
kind, trusting of us all and brave until the
end. Not being able to pull her though
affected us all. RIP dear Bella. You are
never forgotton.

Low cost fruit and
vege plan spreading
• By Tom Doudney
A SOCIAL enterprise
supplying low cost fruit
and vegetables which
started in Bryndwr has
taken off across the city
and is now spreading
around the country.
Reverend Craig Dixon
started Food Together as
a non-profit fruit and vegetable
co-operative about
30 years ago when he was
vicar of Bryndwr Anglican
Church.
“It started as a need in an
area of kind of low socioeconomic
households
who were faced with limited
income and a limited
knowledge of what to do
with a number of fresh
food products,” he said.
After operating the
single hub in Bryndwr for
many years, Mr Dixon
decided to expand the
service following the 2010
and 2011 earthquakes.
“We contacted a number
of churches, as we
generally work through
churches and community
groups, out around the
east where the need was

he said.
Since the earthquakes,
Food Together has gone
from having one Christchurch

week to more than 2000.
The main hubs are in

Hornby business group
gains momentum
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A NEW Hornby business
networking group is gaining
momentum.
The business group was set up
late last year by ANZ Hornby
manager Wendy Varney and
Harcourts Hornby branch manager
Hannah McGowan.
“When I did research, I found
there wasn’t really anything up
and running,” Ms McGowan said.
She approached Ms Varney
who got on board before the
group slowly started growing.
“Hornby is growing so much
. . . it is a huge industrial and
commercial hub in the city. We
thought it would be good getting
people together to talk,” Ms
Varney said.
The aim behind the group is
to get businesses together as well
as supporting charities including
the Women’s Refuge New
Zealand.
“We have a staff donation
where we donate money to
charity . . . we were able to award
Future Youth with $10,000 this
year to get more kids to go on
the development programme,”

she said.
While the suburb does not
have a Hornby residents’ association,
Ms Varney said it is
important to know what is happening
in the community.
“We invited Mike Mora into it
because we think it is important
to know what is going on in
Hornby,” she said.
Mr Mora said the Riccarton-
Wigram Community Board
supports the development of the
group.
Ms McGowan said the group
has been beneficial for finding
like-minded people.

Neighbourhood Policing
Team.
From next month, Senior

initiatives such as the

He said there comes a point
where the police have got to let

Alex O’Keefe
Bringing experimental artist’s work
Canterbury University’s Alex O’Keefe, 28, is bringing
to life one of the artworks thought up by Len Lye, a
Christchurch artist known for experimental films and
kinetic sculptures. Hannah Samson-Barry chats to
him about motor-cycle racing and skateparks
Tell me a little about your role
at Canterbury University.
I work in the field of
mechanical engineering research
at the university. Part of this role
is a small amount of teaching
and mentoring. I really like
working at UC because of the
exposure to a wide range of
different fields of study in such
close proximity, its a 5min walk
from fine arts to firing lightning
bolts in the electrical engineering
department.
You made the move from
Queenstown? Why the shift?
I came to Christchurch because
after working for a year in
Queenstown after I finished high
school I realised that I wasn’t doing
anything with my life, so my
parents suggested engineering as
a pursuit. Canterbury University
had the best reputation in New
Zealand and it’s reasonably close
to home. So I enrolled for first
year engineering and moved up
here.
Can you tell me about life
before you became a doctor,
what was it like growing up in
Queenstown?
Queenstown was a crazy place
to grow up. It’s the adventure
capital of New Zealand so it was
a lot of fun. Small town vibes but
with more of a city feel so we got
the best of both worlds. It’s safe
and fun and great.
How did you get into mechanical
engineering, so you
mentioned your parents?
Yes, my parents recommended
it as a course of study. I had
no idea what it was other than
basically building bridges. After
the first year of engineering you
figure out what the different
disciplines are and mechanical
engineering was a fit in terms of
the fact that I like solving practical
problems and working with
my hands and doing projects.
How did you first become
involved with Len Lye’s work?
After I finished my degree I
was looking for employment
as a mechanical engineer and
I was obligated to be in the
city at the time but none of the

enough interest in or thought
I’d be happy there. I looked at
the postgraduate curriculum at
Canterbury University and one
of the projects that was offered
was this Len Lye project that I
work on and to me that sounded
like the biggest challenge I could
imagine. So that’s the first time I
heard of Len, I researched him,
figured out who he was and his
background and decided that
this was the project for me.
How is it bringing these great
ideas and designs to life?
Len Lye projects are fascinating
to work on because part of it
is that you get to search through
all of his notes, drawings and all
of the material that he produced
on an artwork.
Things that other people never
get to see. You get to work with
small models that he made so
then your job as an engineer is to
translate all of these intentions as
an artist into a piece of art that
he would have been happy with.
So it’s inspiring as you get to
see subtleties of the reasons why
he wanted this motion because it
had these intricacies and chaos
in there that was so exciting. So
when you find these things out
and come to understand what
Len was trying to create it’s really
fulfilling when you get to
that point when you’ve worked
towards an art piece that will be
a Len Lye artwork.
It’s also kind of stressful because
Len gives you these crazy
challenges where he says shoot a
30m lightning bolt across the sky
and I want things to lift up 100m
into the air.
So he was limitless in his imagination
but as an engineer you
are very limited in what you are
capable of so you have to come
up with clever ways that you can
bring to life Len’s ideas, even
though they were grand scale
and crazy.

to life through engineering
Why do you persevere with
these projects?
That’s a really good question.
Something I ask myself and
I have no answer too. I guess
because we are working towards
a goal and I can see the end
result, and the end result is that
we get to share Len Lye who is
one of New Zealand’s and the
world’s most renowned artists
of the 20 th -century. We get to
share these visions that he had
with everyone and show why this
guy was such a spectacular and
inspiring artist. So I see the end
goal as being a really fulfilling
result of these projects.
After spending so much time
there, what do you think of
Canterbury University?
I do think it’s quite a spectacular
place and I do think the
pursuit of engineering, whatever
discipline it might be, or the
sciences for that matter is the
best pursuit for anyone who is
mechanically or scientifically
minded. By going through the
engineering courses at Canterbury
you not only give yourself
the skills, and technical skills
you get from the course, but it
gives you a new analytical way of
looking at your life and it allows
you to take on projects outside
of work like motorbike racing

which I would have never done
without being at Canterbury
and understanding that you can
achieve these things and these
people that do them, they are not
this tier above, your just being
confident enough to tackle these
problems.
Do you get any down time
when you’re not working on
these projects?
Yes I have down time. But in
my down time I like to work on
other projects. I treat these projects
as a job but outside of that I
have time to skateboard and ride
motor-cycles and pursue other
interests of mine.
Tell me more about the
motor-cycle racing, how did
that begin?
Being in the mechanical engineering
department engines and
motor vehicles are an integral
part of that whole course and
community. So I was placed in an
office with two other motor-cycle
racers and as with anyone that
seems to be with the engineering
department post-grad they were
infectiously enthusiastic about
the sport and it rubbed off on me

and I got tricked into being part
of it. No regrets at all.
What’s your motor-cycle of
choice?
FXR 150 small cubic capacity
race bike called a bucket. Because
bucket racing is heaps of fun.
What is your favourite place
to go on your motor-cycle?
Up the Summit Rd and around
Godley Head in the summer,
or at the Mike Pero Motorsport
Park (Ruapuna).
How about skateboarding,
didn’t you help bring about a
new skatepark in the city?
As part of a marketing campaign
an American company
Levi’s and Monster Children sent
their professional skateboard
team to Christchurch to help
build a new skatepark for the city
which had suffered from the major
earthquakes. So they linked
up with me and a bunch of other
local skateboarders and we got
together with the youth and we
built a small DIY skatepark at
the stockyards, so give something
back to the community.
They gave something back, I
just helped. It is there to be used
for everyone and we encourage
anyone to maintain or improve it
as they wish.
What are the best places to
skate?
Christchurch is a great place
to skate due to wide range of
small skateparks in the wider
city. Templeton, Rolleston,
Belfast, Leeston, Kaiapoi all
have relatively recent skate parks
which offer a diverse range of
things to skate. These small
community initiative skateparks
are a great thing for kids and big
kids alike.

Resilience,

Kia ora koutou, Talofa, Kia Orana, Malo e lelei, Bula, Fakaalofa atu, Namaste,
Kumusta. Haere mai ki Te Huruhuru Ao o Horomaka. Warm greetings to the
Hornby High School community.
Have you heard the saying “May you be
blessed with interesting times”? People tell
me that it was an ancient Chinese curse. I
haven’t been able to find any evidence to
support that suggestion, but nevertheless
the sentiment is possibly true in many cases.
However, our interesting times at Hornby
High School are anything but a curse. They
are a time for excitement and anticipation.
Planning is now well under way for the
almost complete rebuild of the school. The
only existing buildings to remain are the
auditorium and music school, both of which
will receive a make-over. The Ministry of
Education is rebuilding the school for 800
students as our roll continues to show strong
growth. Why? The word is out: Hornby High
School is a great place to be.
Running in parallel with the building rebuild
is a “rebuild” of the junior curriculum.
Students learn best when their learning
connects across subjects, when it is related
to real-world problems, and when it is
“culturally responsive”. That is, when it has
meaning in the lives of individual students
and their own cultural backgrounds. That
is our goal. Our aspiration is to have every
student find coming to school to be the most
compelling thing in their day. I use the word
“aspirational” because it is one of those
things we will always be working towards,
although we may never fully achieve it. Over
the next three years (the approximate time
span of the rebuild) we plan to rebuild our
junior curriculum to achieve just this.
Put simply, we see our curriculum in Years 7
to 10 as offering students the opportunity
to discover their learning passions, while in
Years 11 to 13 (the NCEA years) they have
the chance to develop those passions. It is
too early to state what that curriculum might
look like, but it is likely to include a good
dose of technology (ranging from traditional
engineering to 3D printing, robotics and
coding), liberal arts (drama, music and the
visual arts) and the sciences, all built on a
solid framework of literacy and numeracy.
Perhaps most importantly though we will aim
to have these subjects explored by students
while considering real-world problems.
If you have any thoughts on these issues,
please feel free to send me an email and let
me know. In the meantime, as soon as we
have some firmer drawings and plans for the
new buildings, we’ll be keen to show these
around the community to let you know what
is happening.
You can follow my thinking on issues that
are both specific to Hornby High School and
also of more general educational interest on
my Principal’s blog “Whakatauki: He waka
eke noa”, after all we are indeed all in this
together – https://whakataukihewakaekenoa.

Project K students returning from their Wilderness Adventure.
Programme boosts

The Graeme Dingle
Foundation is named
for its founder, one
of New Zealand’s
renowned adventurers
and explorers. In
establishing the
foundation Graeme’s
goal has been to support
our young people to
develop strong life skills
and grow to become
their potential.
At Hornby High School
we are very proud to
be supporting students
with three of our
acclaimed life skills
programmes being Kiwi
Can, STARS and Project
K.
Kiwi Can is an energypacked
programme all
Year 7 students take part
in weekly. It teaches
values such as integrity and respect, and
delivers fun-filled learning.
The STARS programme involves working with
Year 12 and 13 students and training them as
Peer Mentors for the Year 9 students.
At Orton Bradley Park the students and
their mentors engage in a range of team and
confidence building exercises while at the same
time getting to know each other and build those
important relationships that will carry our
new students successfully through their time
at Hornby High. Once back at school the Peer
mentors have delivered weekly lessons to Year
9s.
Graeme Dingle, Shontelle Wallace and Noeline Allan (Graeme Dingle
Foundation Regional Manager).
Project K is a programme designed for Year
10 students. It has four programme stages: an
induction, a Wilderness Adventure in which
the students are taken into the mountains for
three weeks; a Community Challenge; and a
12-month Mentoring Partnership with trained
adult mentors.
Our Project K students tell us that being on
the programme increases their self-belief
and confidence. It has also been proven to
significantly improve academic performance.
Last year Shontelle Wallace completed the
programme and was selected to deliver a
speech at Government House at the annual
excellence awards.
Year 10 students attended the annual camp held at The Boyle River Outdoor Education
Centre. Pictured here, from left, are Eliza Tyrell, Haydon Dickie, Lewis Bradford and
Marylynn Matagi, students from the NCEA Level 2 Hospitality class who did all the catering
for the hungry Year 10 students.

The Combined Adolescent Challenge Training
Unit and Support programme – known as
CACTUS – is an initiative to develop and
support youth to achieve outrageous goals
and co-operate with others through physical
activity.
Each programme runs for three sessions
each week for eight weeks starting at 6.25am
every Monday, Wednesday and Friday
morning.
The programme finishes with “The Longest

combine all the skills they have gained and
celebrate their successes with family/friends/
support networks.
Almost 100 students have taken part in the
CACTUS programme since it started in term

2017.
Why change schools when you don’t
need to? Full Primary schools are tried
and tested and have developed in
innovative and cost effective ways since
their inception in 1877. They are as
important to the provision of education
in 2017 as they were in 1877.
What makes them successful?
• They have evolved over time and have responded to the
different demographic changes since 1877.
• They are located in neighbourhoods; they cater for
families and respond to community needs.
• They are staffed by highly trained teachers who know
curriculum levels from Level 1 – 5 who have had the same
teacher training as teachers in other Year 7 and 8 school
types.
• Teachers in the student’s current full primary school
know about individual students learning progress and
learning style from Year 1 – 8.
• Developing the whole child, flexibility, nurture,
innovation and child centred learning sum up full primary
schools.
• Year 7 and 8 students are the leaders and role models
along with the adults in a full primary school with
opportunities to nurture Year 1 – 6 students.
• School organisation in a full primary school fits the needs
of students not the timetable.
• All Year 7 and 8 students are included in leadership
opportunities, sporting opportunities, school community
job opportunities, buddy responsibilities and role model
expectations. They are seen by others in the school as
the leaders and younger students look up to them.
• These opportunities and strategies to build leadership,
key competencies and resilience are available to all Year
7 and 8 students in a full primary.
Lincoln Primary
What does the research tell
us about the learning needs
of Year 7 and 8 students?
• Curriculum that is relevant, challenging,
integrative, and exploratory
• Multiple learning and teaching
approaches
• Assessment and evaluation programmes
that promote quality learning
• Organisational structures that support
meaningful relationships and learning
• Educators who value working with the
age group
• Courageous, collaborative leadership
• School-wide efforts and policies that
foster health, wellness, and safety
• Multifaceted guidance and support
services
• School-initiated family and community
partnerships
Looking at the above list it becomes clear that it isn’t school
type or school buildings that make the difference for Year
7 and 8 students. It is instead the innovative approach to
learning and the attitude of professionals toward this group of
students. This can happen in any school setting as long as the
leadership, teachers and non-teaching staff are committed
to the social and emotional development of this group of
learners. Full Primary Schools are providers of Year 7 and 8
education in every way that other types of schools are.

And also
The research also provides insight into
what works for Year 7 and 8 students:
Ministry of Education by Dinham and Rowe
of the Australian Council for Educational
Research. 2007
• From the broader ‘teaching and learning literature’,
there is strong evidence that the quality of teaching
which students receive at all levels and stages of
schooling is of major importance in influencing
achievement outcomes for students.
• While productive and positive student-teacher
relationships are identified as an important
characteristic of highly performing schools
catering for middle years’ students, it needs to be
acknowledged that good teachers and school leaders
at all levels of schooling is what works.
• It is therefore debateable whether at least some
aspects of the philosophy and enactment of middle
schooling is any different from ‘good’ teaching and
effective schooling generally in all school types.
The literature is clear in advocating ‘middle schooling
approaches focusing on quality teaching and
enhanced learning’ rather than on school type.
Therefore it is what happens in the classroom to
support learning and what happens across the school
to cater for the specific developmental, cognitive,
physical, emotional and social needs of Year 7 and 8
that makes the difference. Not school type.
The research on middle schooling and its implications
to provide quality education to Year 7 and 8 students
is as applicable to full primary school as it is for other
schooling types.

ways of helping the
homeless
MANY OF us have a heart for
the homeless.
I have learnt not to judge
anyone’s circumstances, lest we
be judged ourselves, but to at
least help others to the best of
our ability.
To whom much is given,
much is expected, is not only
biblical but also an act of being
socially responsible.
Many organisations are taking
• Mark Thomas -Fire Risk
Management Officer
I WAS woken by a phone
call about 11pm last Monday
from a friend who lives on the
opposite side of the city.
She was concerned because
her daughter, who lives next
door, had an unusual burninglike
smell in her home that
could not be traced.
She didn’t know what to
do and didn’t want to bother
this issue seriously and already
assisting the homeless here.
I feel we could always do
more. Why is it that we want our
bus users to be warm waiting
for a bus in our new bus shelters
during their 5-10min wait while
others do not even have shelters
at all for a home 24/7.
I would love to see a very
simple solution albeit temporary
to at least keep them together and
covered as winter fast approaches.
For example, the news recently
showed maraes up north
paving the way, reaching out to
immediate need where need is
not presently met. This allows
a one-stop shop for others to
contribute clothing, bedding,
bathroom facilities, food

by inappropriately placed
insulation.
The heat from the lamp
could not escape. The
fibreglass insulation and
associated dust was getting
hotter and hotter.

We get lots of calls to false
alarms. People smell smoke
and ring up when there’s a fire
in North Canterbury that’s
50km from their house and
when a nor’wester is howling.
Others report smoke
swirling on a cold winter’s night
which turns out to be mist.
We never complain, because
and job offers.
I would like something similar
here in the city. A central
point to keep their social interaction
together and offers the
needed help in practical ways.
I have spoken with founder,
and primary carer and facilitator
of Help for the Homeless
Amy Burke who agrees we
need core facilities for those
living in cars, yet she has
struck red tape when trying
to arrange this for the homeless.
I would love to see an
immediate response that at the
very least opens the use of our
community facilities – become
available for showers for our
homeless without red tape.
What a difference it would
make also if we could use the
vacant halls in the east with
bathroom and kitchen facilities
now empty and not used,
yet red tape again stops our
ability to help others.

I will leave you with this
saying: “A community is judged
by the way it treats its most
vulnerable”.
all of us would prefer to go to
10 false alarms like this rather
than not be called to the one
that escalates enough to kill
someone in their sleep.
If you’ve ever wondered
‘should I call the Fire Service?’
Yes – do it.
On the other hand, a
colleague in this office called
in a car fire the other day when
out in traffic. Turned out to be
steam. Now he’s fair game.

From bookworms to reluctant readers, the Original Children’s
Bookshop caters for all.
Finding a genuine, specialist bookshop
nowadays is a true joy, and Christchurch is
privileged to have the Original Children’s

going strong after 40 years in the city.
now located at 227 Blenheim Road, the
store is a bright, welcoming, airy
space which caters for lovers of
children’s books and games of all
ages. it is designed to be ‘kidfriendly’,
with cosy seating areas
so they can try out books before
they spend their pocket money,
and regular activities such as
book-signings by authors and
story-telling sessions.
The team who work there are experts;
all have worked as teachers or librarians
and they share the same love of children’s
literature. Owner/Manager Mary Sangster
says that “all the staff are passionate about
children’s books and about placing the
right book into a child’s hands.” They are

whether the book is for a baby or a
choosy teenager. There are heaps of board
books and picture books for their very

of chapter books, activity books and
poetry for middle readers. Whether
their customers love fairy stories,
funny stories or action, they can

Christchurch Intermediate
Schools
Specialists in Year 7 and Year 8 Education
OPEN NIGHTS 2016
Intermediates are two year
coeducational schools specialising
in the education of students in their
early adolescence, 11-13 year olds.
Intermediates are exciting places for students to
begin their adventure into adolescence. In addition
to providing a rich, age and stage, middle-yearsspecific
curriculum in a stimulating, challenging and
rewarding environment, intermediates cater for many
interest groups and clubs.
Early adolescence is a unique and
special time of immense physical,
intellectual, emotional and social
development. These changes create
specific needs and challenges that
are significantly different from
the needs of younger children or
older adolescents. Teachers in
intermediate schools are highly
qualified, experienced and skilled
teachers of students in their early
adolescence. Our teachers establish
strong relationships and particularly
enjoy working with this age group.
It is not surprising that New Zealand and overseas
research concludes that the quality of teaching is
one of the most significant factors influencing how
well students learn at school. Given that quality
teaching occurs in most New Zealand schools
regardless of their type, it’s only natural to consider
other factors that might make a difference for early
adolescents.
The young people at intermediates are changing
rapidly – physically, emotionally and socially.
Intermediates focus solely on this age group and
are well positioned to meet their needs. A mix
of specialist and home room teachers helps to
provide the choices, challenge, love for practical
activities and academic rigour in the students’
learning. Resourcing, both human and physical, that
is developed deliberately to meet early adolescent
student needs, helps to build self esteem, assist
students to develop and find strengths and links
learning with career aspirations. Teachers who are
focussed solely on the middle years are able to work
collaboratively to provide level-appropriate engaging
Our aim is for all of our students
to leave our intermediate schools
feeling confident in themselves
as successful learners and well
equipped with the knowledge, skills
and attributes needed for high
achievement not only at the next
stage of their formal education but
as life long learners.
programmes that connect learning to students’ lives
and interests and provide challenge for all students
to achieve to the best of their ability.
Current intermediate school students list these
points:
In particular, early adolescents
enjoy learning that is authentic and
meaningful to them in an environment
where they have choice and a real say
in what and how they learn. Students
enjoy the challenge of new and
different learning opportunities that
are provided by specialist teachers in
technology, science, performing arts
and visual arts. There also remains an
emphasis on continuing to develop
skills to a high level in literacy and
mathematics.
1. “There are more children of my own age here
because our school takes all the year sixes from a
few different schools and they come to one school.
And because we’ve got bigger numbers of pupils
we can have more sports teams and … there’s
something for everyone” Y8 child
2. “Our school has different specialist teachers for
subjects like music art, P.E. and technology, so we
get used to that – which is good preparation for
secondary school” Y7 girl
3. “At intermediate school everything is for our two
years (age group).” Y8 girl
4. “I like that we don’t have to look out for little
children. That was neat at our old (primary) school
but it’s nice to just have our own age here. Y7 boy
Intermediate schools work very
closely together to collectively provide
a wide range of extracurricular
opportunities for students. For
example, there are a number of interintermediate
sport competitions such
as swimming, winter sport, summer
sport, athletics and cross country.
5. “It’s good that we don’t have big secondary kids
here. We can worry about them when we’re older…
and then we’ll be big too. Y8 boy

CONTINUING EDUCATION
Scheme Helps Pasifika
Tradespeople Succeed
every year ara institute of Canterbury offers Pasifika Trades Training
scholarships for anyone of Pasifika descent to train in trades fees-free.
The iniTiaTive was created to
help Pasifika people contribute to the
rebuild of Christchurch and is run in
collaboration with leaders from the
Pasifika community and government
agencies with Pasifika church ministers
playing a key role in nominating people
and offering pastoral support.
Because everyone is different, there
are a number of options and pathways
available to help Pasifika men and women
start a career in the trades. To make
sure every student succeeds, support is
available from the Centre of Māori and
Pasifika achievement, with pastoral care
advisors helping not only with study
matters but with anything that impacts on
students completing their studies.
Trades training has evolved and that’s
good news for learners. Classroombased
theory sessions are being phased
out in favour of shorter, more frequent
theory sessions in new workshops so
that students can practice what they have
learned straight away. The new style will
suit many Pasifika learners, especially
those who would rather be using their
hands than sitting for long periods of
time.
ara recently upgraded the trades
training facilities with $18.9 million of
government investment so that workshops
are even more like what students will find
out in their industry.
ara has close connections with
employers and the programme is designed
to get graduates out working in industry
after they graduate.
Mid-year intake is now open with July
starting dates for electrical engineering,
Fabrication, Furniture and Joinery,
General engineering, and Plumbing.
Carpentry, Painting & Decorating and
Plasterboarding start again in august.
if you know someone who would
benefit from getting a head start on a
career in trades and they are Pasifika,
tell them about the opportunities at ara
institute of Canterbury.

headlined the four-day-camp. Robinson is
ranked amongst some of the greatest big
men to ever play the game.
Robinson was joined at the camp by a
fellow member of the 2003 championship
winning San Antonio Spurs, Bruce Bowen.
The three-time championship winner
is rated as one of the greatest defenders of
his time. He made five NBA All-Defensive

Digital Technologies Design, and Visual
Communication and Workshop Materials
are the learning teams that are involved in
the initial stages of a project to build two
weather stations in separate locations.
The first challenge for term one was
to use the project plan for the school’s
STEM project as a basis to design a Year
11 Digital Technologies course that met
the individual needs of the students,
curriculum delivery requirements and
NCEA assessment requirements. It’s a
popular course, with enthusiasm for it
fuelled by the work students do in this
learning area in the junior school.
The students opting for this course
have a range of skills and abilities.
Individual courses were designed to
establish the base skills needed to begin
the construction, and programming of
the electronic system that will measure,
record and display weather data.
The main emphasis for the first term
was to establish a suitable level of coding
skills in all the students. The learning
progress has enabled all students to be in
a position to participate directly in the
coding of the electronic recording system
for the Weather Stations.
Some students are operating at the
higher skill level and they will write the
code to drive the dynamic data driven
website that will display the data. These
students will be assessed against Level 2
NCEA standards.
Electronic systems have been the
focus of learning and assessment this
term. Arduino boards have been used
to construct small to medium sized
projects. These projects enable students to
understand the electronic componentry
needed in the construction of the weather
stations.

New Christchurch schools
to offer students more
AVoNSIDE GIrLS’ and Shirley Boys’ will
be the first single sex secondary schools in
New Zealand’s history to share a campus
– an arrangement their principals say will
enable the schools to offer their students
new opportunities.
The schools are to be built on part of
QEII Park, next to the Christchurch City
Council’s Eastern recreation and Sport
Centre.
Avonside Girls’ High School Principal
Sue Hume says the campus will be brand
new and state of the art.
“Each school will have its own teaching
spaces and students will spend most of
their day in a single sex environment.
That’s important to us. research shows
that single sex education benefits both girls
and boys…boys do better academically
and girls participate more. That’s because
they have space to learn and focus away
from the opposite gender,” says Sue Hume.
John Laurenson says the new campus is
a step forward.
“Because we are going to work together,
we’ll be able to offer more. For example,
we’ll be sharing some facilities, including
a performing arts auditorium, theatre
and cultural space, which enables us to
build bigger and better assets,” says John
Laurenson.
Another benefit is that the students
will be able to interact with and learn
alongside peers from their partner school.
“Students from both schools will share
buses to and from the campus, they’ll all
be able to use the café, our new library
and learning centre and our other shared
facilities. This means that not only will
they have all the benefits of a single sex
education, they’ll have social opportunities
not available at other single sex schools,”
says Sue Hume.
The Ministry of Education is currently
working on how the new schools will
be zoned but the schools are focusing
on catering to residents who live east of
Colombo Street.
“Because we will be servicing a wide
area, we will be establishing a network of
buses to service the campus,” says John
Laurenson.
Best of all, Sue Hume says the new
campus will open in 2019 so is not too far
away.
“In fact many of our current students
will be making the journey to the new
campus with us and those who join our
schools in the next two years will spend
their senior years there. It’s been a long
and sometimes hard road to get to the
new campus, but we are confident we’re on
track to create something even better than
what we had before the earthquakes.”

Dual mother and teacher role
provides unique perspective
HAEATA CoMMuNITY Campus will
provide more than cutting-edge facilities
when it opens in 2017, says new Director
of Learning rebecca Wilson – it is a “once
in a lifetime opportunity” for students,
their whānau and the East.
rebecca’s three children will be among
the first students attending the new school
next year.
“As a mother and a teacher I know that
Haeata is the best choice for my kids,
as they will be valued for who they are
as individuals and given the chance to
explore their different passions through
Haeata’s personalised approach to
learning,” says rebecca.
“I also love the fact that they will be at
one school for the rest of their schooling,
as Haeata caters for students from years
1-13. They can stay together for their
education and not be separated.”
Haeata is a “new beginning” for the East,
says rebecca.
“The new campus will change things
for the better, providing a new learning
community with endless opportunities –
with students right in the heart of it.”
rebecca joins Haeata’s Senior Leadership
Team after 13 years at Bromley School, the
last two as Deputy Principal.
As Director of Learning at Haeata,
rebecca is part of a team designing
systems and structures that will ensure a
successful start in 2017. Some of the key
tasks include engaging with families and
students from the contributing schools,
strengthening relationships with Māori
and Pasifika communities, planning for
diverse learners and organising safe travel
routes to and from school.
“I have been in my new role since the
beginning of the year and not a day goes
by that I do not feel excited about Haeata
opening its doors,” says rebecca, who also
lives in the local community.
“Although it is a safe, purpose-built
school with state-of-the-art facilities,
for me it is more about the innovative
learning and community relationships that
will form as a result.
“Student wellbeing is really important.
Like many people living in the East postquake,
it has been challenging for us as a
family at times. It is reassuring to know
that my kids will be supported and cared
for.”
A future-focused learning environment
that utilises innovation and technology
is a key aspect of the Haeata model, says
rebecca. Ensuring cultural and diverse

needs are met, is another.
“Haeata will be culturally intelligent and
cater for diversity. We know that children
learn in different ways and have different
needs. The campus will be at the heart of
our unique community, bringing together
students and their families.
“It is about really getting to know the
kids and their whānau, creating a true
partnership between home and school.
“I have 100 percent faith that Haeata
is going to be phenomenal. I see the new
school bringing lots of happiness to the
community, which is what it deserves.”
“Student wellbeing is really
important. Like many people
living in the East post-quake, it
has been challenging for us as a

to know that my kids will be

The future is bright in the East
By Andy Kai Fong
W
hen I first saw the
advertisement for the role
of Haeata Community
Campus Principal, I thought it
was the most exciting educational
opportunity I had seen for some time.
The chance to create and build a
new school is rare. At the time I was
working as the Head of Secondary
at Hong Kong’s Discovery College
and prior to that I held Principal
and Deputy Principal roles at
Hornby and Lincoln High Schools.
Haeata Community Campus will
open its doors in term one of 2017 for
students from years 1-13. The brand
new school is currently being built on
the Aranui High School site.
The campus will combine pupils
from the four schools that are closing
in eastern Christchurch – Aranui
Primary, Wainoni Primary, Avondale
Primary and Aranui High School –
as well as welcoming new students
from the local community.
It’s really important that we
capture the essence of what has
worked well at the four schools
that are closing and apply it in the
new campus.
Families can be confident that
their children will have access
to quality and innovative education
that provides a strong foundation
for their future.
Having students from years
1-13 allows us to build strong
connections between the school,
students and whānau.
We are fortunate to be in
state-of-the-art facilities which will
provide amazing opportunities for
all students and community groups.
We will be engaging face-to-face
with our community regularly to
discuss our plans, seek feedback and
answer questions you may have.
Along with our leadership team
and Board of Trustees, I look
forward to welcoming our first
students in 2017.
This is an exciting time for
the East – join us!

Transitioning skincare
through the seasons
Skincare expert and facialist Clemency Alice has a passion for beauty and organic
skincare. Recently travelling to Paris and Australia to further her knowledge, she
shares her secrets.
the tRAnSition from summer to
autumn can have a major impact on your
skin’s overall condition and appearance. if
the new season catches you unaware and
unprepared, your skin can become very
dry, extremely sensitive, lacklustre and
more susceptible to breakouts. This is due
to the change in oil flow – which was on
an all-time high during summer – and the
vitality of the ‘skin glow’ waning as cooler
temperatures plummet, constricting
blood vessels. here’s what you need to
know to ensure your skin stays prepped
and primped for the change of season.
PReSeRVe youR liPid BARRieR
if you remove this protective skin barrier
through more aggressive methods of overcleansing
and over-exfoliating, then the
skin cells aren’t prepared and your skin
becomes more vulnerable to the extreme
temperatures and external elements of
wind, sun and rain. A way to protect
and maintain hydration in your skin is
through spritzing your face after cleansing
with a floral facial mist then locking the
moisture in with your favourite facial oil
or moisturiser.
SwitCh moiStuRiSeRS
opt for a creamier, rich texture in
your moisturiser that has antioxidant,
super skin-boosting ingredients. Select
moisturisers that contain hyaluronic acid
(skin plumping and hydrating), vitamin
C (antioxidant and uV-protecting
properties), shea butter (moisturising
and protecting), and rose (softening,
anti-inflammatory, hydrating). And for
those with oilier skins, opt for a balancing
facial oil with lavender (restorative
and calming) and jojoba (balancing to
the acid mantle, protecting and antiinflammatory).
PRoteCt youR Skin
Just because summer is a distant dream,
keep applying a chemical-free SPF daily,
and opt for a seperate sun-care product
with a minimum of SPF30 rather than
relying on sun protection from your
foundation.
inSide And out
Beauty and skin health can come from
within:
• Ensure you drink plenty of water.
• Drink organic green tea (helps
prevent tewl – trans-epidermal water
loss).
• Eat seasonal fruit and vegetables.
• Drink green smoothies.
• Boost your intake of essential
fatty acids.
• Go for a brisk walk amongst
nature to
revive your autumnal ‘glow’.
• Maintain your skin sparkle with

Hayfever sufferers receive
much-needed attention
Christchurch’s new allergy
clinic is making headway
in the fight to cure people
of horrible allergy-related
symptoms.
Hayfever, or allergic rhinitis, affects
1 in 5 people in australia and New
Zealand. These sufferers have numerous
symptoms including nasal congestion, eye
irritation, sinus infections and also suffer
from fatigue and poor quality sleep.
These symptoms in children have
been shown to impair learning and
performance and in more frequent
absenteeism and reduced productivity in
adults, and overall cause a considerable
impairment in a person’s quality of life.
The South Island allergy Service, a new
clinic that runs in private rooms in Upper
riccarton has recently opened its doors
to people who have endured - sometimes
many years - of torturous allergic effects.
Dr alisdair Webb, the lead clinician
at the allergy Service, says, “Somewhat
ironically the Garden City has had very
little in the way of allergy support for
patients and health practitioners for
many years but here at SIaS we have
specially trained clinicians who can fill
that gap and offer a friendly, welcoming
environment to diagnose, investigate and
treat allergic symptoms.”
De-SeNSItISatIoN: tHe CloSeSt
tHING to a CUre
The most exciting aspect on offer is
the availability of desensitisation, or
immunotherapy. Dr Webb continues,
“immunotherapy uses tiny amounts of
the responsible allergen to build up the
tolerance of the body so it switches off
the allergic reaction.” Immunotherapy
has been around for hundreds of years in
different forms and has been perfected
over recent years, moving away from
injections to the more convenient forms
available today. after diagnosis this is
now done at home in the majority of
cases with minimal clinic input.
a key first step is to determine what the
responsible allergen is through skin prick
testing. avoidance of allergic triggers is
always the number one priority but in
many cases, either living/employment
situation or even proximity to pets can
make this impossible.
asthma and eczema are two conditions
that are greatly influenced by allergens
present in the air. although allergy
treatments are limited to children over
5 years old this is exactly when these
conditions are becoming more apparent.
“The numbers of sufferers we see is
enormous”, says Dr Webb, “and being
able to accurately and safely test them,
with even a chance to offer long-term
relief through desensitisation can be lifechanging.”
Hayfever alert
The winter period is the time to
commence desensitisation for pollen
allergies as the body takes time to build
up a tolerance. establishing the trigger
for the hayfever now and commencing
desensitisation is essential for a spring
period free from symptoms.
for those allergy-sufferers requiring
regular visits to the doctor, repeated
medications and frequently missing
out on activities and sleep - it would
appear that there is hope in our midst, an
accessible allergy clinic in the garden city.
