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

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

Quarry’s $1m underpass<br />
• By Tom Doudney<br />
FULTON HOGAN has spent<br />
$1 million on installing an<br />
underpass underneath a public<br />
road to connect two sides of its<br />
Miners Rd quarry in Yaldhurst.<br />
The underpass, which links<br />
the two 40ha sections of<br />
quarry either side of the road,<br />
is expected to reduce transport<br />
costs for the company by saving<br />
30,000 truck movements a year.<br />
While its processing plant is<br />
on the east side of Miners Rd,<br />
most of its extraction is taking<br />
place on the west side.<br />
An electric conveyor belt<br />
more than 1km long will<br />
transport material for crushing<br />
from one side to the other and<br />
this is expected to be up<br />
and running within the next<br />
month.<br />
Fulton Hogan environmental<br />
manager Peter Savage said<br />
getting the material from the<br />
extraction areas to the<br />
processing plant currently<br />
involved a 2.5km round trip<br />
for each truckload and the<br />
company had wanted to find a<br />
better way.<br />
“Digging up Miners Rd<br />
wasn’t an option,” Mr Savage<br />
said.<br />
“So quite simply, we ran the<br />
numbers on the pure economics<br />
of putting in an underpass<br />
as opposed to carting with the<br />
trucks.”<br />
Not having to send so many<br />
trucks across Miners Rd<br />
would improve the traffic situation<br />
for other road users as well.<br />
“You can’t really put a price<br />
on the safety aspect of taking<br />
those trucks off the road and<br />
obviously it also reduces the<br />
emissions from those trucks,”<br />
Mr Savage said.<br />
The reduction in truck movements<br />
was expected to reduce<br />
GOING UNDER:<br />
An electric<br />
conveyor<br />
belt passing<br />
through a new<br />
underpass<br />
will transport<br />
material from<br />
one side of<br />
Fulton Hogan’s<br />
Miners Rd<br />
quarry to the<br />
other. <br />
the company’s CO2 emissions<br />
by between 130 and 180 tonnes<br />
a year.<br />
Mr Savage said the conveyor<br />
belt was “like a giant Meccano<br />
set” which would have<br />
extra sections bolted on to it as<br />
needed to reach new extraction<br />
areas in the quarry.<br />
In Brief<br />
SMOKEFREE ROCKQUEST<br />
Three bands from western high<br />
schools will compete in the<br />
Canterbury regional final for the<br />
Smokefree Rockquest at The Bedford<br />
this Friday. High school bands from<br />
Canterbury competed in heats last<br />
month and now the top 12 bands<br />
are set to play off for first and<br />
second place prizes and a spot in the<br />
national final in September. In The<br />
City from Christchurch Boys’ High<br />
School, Toastduty from Middleton<br />
Grange School and Ancora from<br />
Burnside High School will all<br />
compete on the night.<br />
FUNDING GRANTED<br />
The city council has put aside<br />
$500,000 in the <strong>2016</strong>-17 budget to<br />
fund additional work required at<br />
Mona Vale gatehouse and a building<br />
within Halswell Quarry Park for<br />
commercial activities.<br />
HALSWELL SKATE PARK<br />
A final recommendation on the<br />
site of the Halswell skate park and<br />
recreation area will be made by the<br />
end of next month. The Riccarton-<br />
Wigram Community Board has<br />
confirmed it expects to make a<br />
final decision on the site on July 27,<br />
following months of community<br />
consultation. The city council is<br />
looking at three possible locations<br />

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

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

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

he said.<br />
Since the earthquakes,<br />
Food Together has gone<br />
from having one Christchurch<br />

supplying about 140 orders a<br />

The main hubs are in<br />

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

she said.<br />
While the suburb does not<br />
have a Hornby residents’ association,<br />
Ms Varney said it is<br />
important to know what is happening<br />
in the community.<br />
“We invited Mike Mora into it<br />
because we think it is important<br />
to know what is going on in<br />
Hornby,” she said.<br />
Mr Mora said the Riccarton-<br />
Wigram Community Board<br />
supports the development of the<br />
group.<br />
Ms McGowan said the group<br />
has been beneficial for finding<br />
like-minded people.<br />
“I think as business owners<br />
and managers we feel we are<br />
quite isolated. So it is really important<br />
you have people you can<br />
go balance ideas off.”<br />
The next meeting will be a<br />
mid-winter Christmas function<br />
next month. To get involved<br />

and a half years working<br />
to reduce crime in the<br />
Riccarton area, Senior<br />
Sergeant Steve Jones will<br />
be leaving the Riccarton<br />
Neighbourhood Policing<br />
Team.<br />
From next month, Senior<br />
Sergeant Jones will be moving<br />
into the central city to<br />
work in victim support.<br />
“It is part of our rotation<br />
policy of moving staff into<br />
other areas. It is just to build<br />
depth with the police so we<br />
get new experiences,” he said.<br />
Senior Sergeant Jones has been<br />
working for 22 years within the<br />
police force.<br />
For the past five years he has<br />
been leading the Community<br />
Patrolling Team made up of five<br />
constables in the Riccarton area.<br />
The Riccarton Neighbourhood<br />
Policing Team was first formed as<br />
a three-five year project designed<br />
to address underlying causes<br />
around crime.<br />
The team will soon be finishing<br />
up although the date could not be<br />
confirmed.<br />

group has been successful in<br />
having more interaction with<br />
students and establishing community<br />
initiatives such as the<br />
Good One Party Register.<br />
He said there comes a point<br />
where the police have got to let<br />
the community take ownership.<br />
“The need for such a police<br />
input isn’t there anymore because<br />
they have taken their ownership,”<br />
Senior Sergeant Jones said.<br />
A community farewell will<br />
be held this Friday from 6.30-<br />

Alex O’Keefe<br />
Bringing experimental artist’s work<br />
Canterbury University’s Alex O’Keefe, <strong>28</strong>, is bringing<br />
to life one of the artworks thought up by Len Lye, a<br />
Christchurch artist known for experimental films and<br />
kinetic sculptures. Hannah Samson-Barry chats to<br />
him about motor-cycle racing and skateparks<br />
Tell me a little about your role<br />
at Canterbury University.<br />
I work in the field of<br />
mechanical engineering research<br />
at the university. Part of this role<br />
is a small amount of teaching<br />
and mentoring. I really like<br />
working at UC because of the<br />
exposure to a wide range of<br />
different fields of study in such<br />
close proximity, its a 5min walk<br />
from fine arts to firing lightning<br />
bolts in the electrical engineering<br />
department.<br />
You made the move from<br />
Queenstown? Why the shift?<br />
I came to Christchurch because<br />
after working for a year in<br />
Queenstown after I finished high<br />
school I realised that I wasn’t doing<br />
anything with my life, so my<br />
parents suggested engineering as<br />
a pursuit. Canterbury University<br />
had the best reputation in New<br />
Zealand and it’s reasonably close<br />
to home. So I enrolled for first<br />
year engineering and moved up<br />
here.<br />
Can you tell me about life<br />
before you became a doctor,<br />
what was it like growing up in<br />
Queenstown?<br />
Queenstown was a crazy place<br />
to grow up. It’s the adventure<br />
capital of New Zealand so it was<br />
a lot of fun. Small town vibes but<br />
with more of a city feel so we got<br />
the best of both worlds. It’s safe<br />
and fun and great.<br />
How did you get into mechanical<br />
engineering, so you<br />
mentioned your parents?<br />
Yes, my parents recommended<br />
it as a course of study. I had<br />
no idea what it was other than<br />
basically building bridges. After<br />
the first year of engineering you<br />
figure out what the different<br />
disciplines are and mechanical<br />
engineering was a fit in terms of<br />
the fact that I like solving practical<br />
problems and working with<br />
my hands and doing projects.<br />
How did you first become<br />
involved with Len Lye’s work?<br />
After I finished my degree I<br />
was looking for employment<br />
as a mechanical engineer and<br />
I was obligated to be in the<br />
city at the time but none of the<br />
HANDS-ON: Alex O’Keefe has taken up the challenge of<br />
bringing artist Len Lye’s ideas to life.<br />
jobs that I could find I found<br />
enough interest in or thought<br />
I’d be happy there. I looked at<br />
the postgraduate curriculum at<br />
Canterbury University and one<br />
of the projects that was offered<br />
was this Len Lye project that I<br />
work on and to me that sounded<br />
like the biggest challenge I could<br />
imagine. So that’s the first time I<br />
heard of Len, I researched him,<br />
figured out who he was and his<br />
background and decided that<br />
this was the project for me.<br />
How is it bringing these great<br />
ideas and designs to life?<br />
Len Lye projects are fascinating<br />
to work on because part of it<br />
is that you get to search through<br />
all of his notes, drawings and all<br />
of the material that he produced<br />
on an artwork.<br />
Things that other people never<br />
get to see. You get to work with<br />
small models that he made so<br />
then your job as an engineer is to<br />
translate all of these intentions as<br />
an artist into a piece of art that<br />
he would have been happy with.<br />
So it’s inspiring as you get to<br />
see subtleties of the reasons why<br />
he wanted this motion because it<br />
had these intricacies and chaos<br />
in there that was so exciting. So<br />
when you find these things out<br />
and come to understand what<br />
Len was trying to create it’s really<br />
fulfilling when you get to<br />
that point when you’ve worked<br />
towards an art piece that will be<br />
a Len Lye artwork.<br />
It’s also kind of stressful because<br />
Len gives you these crazy<br />
challenges where he says shoot a<br />
30m lightning bolt across the sky<br />
and I want things to lift up 100m<br />
into the air.<br />
So he was limitless in his imagination<br />
but as an engineer you<br />
are very limited in what you are<br />
capable of so you have to come<br />
up with clever ways that you can<br />
bring to life Len’s ideas, even<br />
though they were grand scale<br />
and crazy.<br />

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

which I would have never done<br />
without being at Canterbury<br />
and understanding that you can<br />
achieve these things and these<br />
people that do them, they are not<br />
this tier above, your just being<br />
confident enough to tackle these<br />
problems.<br />
Do you get any down time<br />
when you’re not working on<br />
these projects?<br />
Yes I have down time. But in<br />
my down time I like to work on<br />
other projects. I treat these projects<br />
as a job but outside of that I<br />
have time to skateboard and ride<br />
motor-cycles and pursue other<br />
interests of mine.<br />
Tell me more about the<br />
motor-cycle racing, how did<br />
that begin?<br />
Being in the mechanical engineering<br />
department engines and<br />
motor vehicles are an integral<br />
part of that whole course and<br />
community. So I was placed in an<br />
office with two other motor-cycle<br />
racers and as with anyone that<br />
seems to be with the engineering<br />
department post-grad they were<br />
infectiously enthusiastic about<br />
the sport and it rubbed off on me<br />
SPEED: Dr O’Keefe racing the yellow Yamaha at Mike Pero<br />
Motorsport Park.<br />
and I got tricked into being part<br />
of it. No regrets at all.<br />
What’s your motor-cycle of<br />
choice?<br />
FXR 150 small cubic capacity<br />
race bike called a bucket. Because<br />
bucket racing is heaps of fun.<br />
What is your favourite place<br />
to go on your motor-cycle?<br />
Up the Summit Rd and around<br />
Godley Head in the summer,<br />
or at the Mike Pero Motorsport<br />
Park (Ruapuna).<br />
How about skateboarding,<br />
didn’t you help bring about a<br />
new skatepark in the city?<br />
As part of a marketing campaign<br />
an American company<br />
Levi’s and Monster Children sent<br />
their professional skateboard<br />
team to Christchurch to help<br />
build a new skatepark for the city<br />
which had suffered from the major<br />
earthquakes. So they linked<br />
up with me and a bunch of other<br />
local skateboarders and we got<br />
together with the youth and we<br />
built a small DIY skatepark at<br />
the stockyards, so give something<br />
back to the community.<br />
They gave something back, I<br />
just helped. It is there to be used<br />
for everyone and we encourage<br />
anyone to maintain or improve it<br />
as they wish.<br />
What are the best places to<br />
skate?<br />
Christchurch is a great place<br />
to skate due to wide range of<br />
small skateparks in the wider<br />
city. Templeton, Rolleston,<br />
Belfast, Leeston, Kaiapoi all<br />
have relatively recent skate parks<br />
which offer a diverse range of<br />
things to skate. These small<br />
community initiative skateparks<br />
are a great thing for kids and big<br />
kids alike.<br />

Last week Villa Maria College held its first showcase of<br />
the year for the community. The night was organised to<br />
showcase the multi-cultural talents at the school with<br />
performances ranging from dance, singing, drama and<br />

last week at the opening of three<br />
orienteering courses at Halswell<br />
Quarry with Deputy Mayor<br />
Vicki Buck on standby to give<br />
the countdown to the opening.<br />
Along with Ms Buck, the<br />
Junior World Orienteering team<br />
produced a 1hr course and a<br />
novel orienteering maze.<br />
Halswell Scouts also<br />
fundraised with sausage sales<br />
and displayed their skills at<br />
building a bridge.<br />
The fun permanent<br />
orienteering courses were<br />
developed by the Peninsula<br />
and Plains Orienteering club<br />
supported by the city council<br />
with funding from the Rata<br />
Foundation.<br />
Project co-ordinator Mike<br />
Marra said the courses range<br />
from levels of beginners<br />
through to advanced for more<br />
experienced map readers.<br />
A large contribution was<br />
made from the community with<br />
mapping of Halswell Quarry<br />

from the expertise of<br />
PAPO members.<br />
The installation of the<br />
control posts also involved an<br />
enthusiastic volunteer working<br />

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

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

The Combined Adolescent Challenge Training<br />
Unit and Support programme – known as<br />
CACTUS – is an initiative to develop and<br />
support youth to achieve outrageous goals<br />
and co-operate with others through physical<br />
activity.<br />
Each programme runs for three sessions<br />
each week for eight weeks starting at 6.25am<br />
every Monday, Wednesday and Friday<br />
morning.<br />
The programme finishes with “The Longest<br />
Day” graduation during which participants<br />
combine all the skills they have gained and<br />
celebrate their successes with family/friends/<br />
support networks.<br />
Almost 100 students have taken part in the<br />

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

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

Community<br />
Board member<br />
Debbie Mora<br />
discusses<br />
ways of helping the<br />
homeless<br />
MANY OF us have a heart for<br />
the homeless.<br />
I have learnt not to judge<br />
anyone’s circumstances, lest we<br />
be judged ourselves, but to at<br />
least help others to the best of<br />
our ability.<br />
To whom much is given,<br />
much is expected, is not only<br />
biblical but also an act of being<br />
socially responsible.<br />
Many organisations are taking<br />
• Mark Thomas -Fire Risk<br />
Management Officer<br />
I WAS woken by a phone<br />
call about 11pm last Monday<br />
from a friend who lives on the<br />
opposite side of the city.<br />
She was concerned because<br />
her daughter, who lives next<br />
door, had an unusual burninglike<br />
smell in her home that<br />
could not be traced.<br />
She didn’t know what to<br />
do and didn’t want to bother<br />
this issue seriously and already<br />
assisting the homeless here.<br />
I feel we could always do<br />
more. Why is it that we want our<br />
bus users to be warm waiting<br />
for a bus in our new bus shelters<br />
during their 5-10min wait while<br />
others do not even have shelters<br />
at all for a home 24/7.<br />
I would love to see a very<br />
simple solution albeit temporary<br />
to at least keep them together and<br />
covered as winter fast approaches.<br />
For example, the news recently<br />
showed maraes up north<br />
paving the way, reaching out to<br />
immediate need where need is<br />
not presently met. This allows<br />
a one-stop shop for others to<br />
contribute clothing, bedding,<br />
bathroom facilities, food<br />
Don’t wait, phone 111<br />
the Fire Service. I told her to<br />
ring 111 immediately. They<br />
did. Harewood’s fire appliance<br />
arrived and found a downlight<br />
in the ceiling was covered<br />
by inappropriately placed<br />
insulation.<br />
The heat from the lamp<br />
could not escape. The<br />
fibreglass insulation and<br />
associated dust was getting<br />
hotter and hotter.<br />
There probably wouldn’t<br />
FLAME FILES<br />
have been a fire if it had been<br />
left. But there might have<br />
been.<br />
We get lots of calls to false<br />
alarms. People smell smoke<br />
and ring up when there’s a fire<br />
in North Canterbury that’s<br />
50km from their house and<br />
when a nor’wester is howling.<br />
Others report smoke<br />
swirling on a cold winter’s night<br />
which turns out to be mist.<br />
We never complain, because<br />
and job offers.<br />
I would like something similar<br />
here in the city. A central<br />
point to keep their social interaction<br />
together and offers the<br />
needed help in practical ways.<br />
I have spoken with founder,<br />
and primary carer and facilitator<br />
of Help for the Homeless<br />
Amy Burke who agrees we<br />
need core facilities for those<br />
living in cars, yet she has<br />
struck red tape when trying<br />
to arrange this for the homeless.<br />
I would love to see an<br />
immediate response that at the<br />
very least opens the use of our<br />
community facilities – become<br />
available for showers for our<br />
homeless without red tape.<br />
What a difference it would<br />
make also if we could use the<br />
vacant halls in the east with<br />
bathroom and kitchen facilities<br />
now empty and not used,<br />
yet red tape again stops our<br />
ability to help others.<br />
Help for the Homeless<br />
facebook link https://www.facebook.com/HelpfortheHomelessChristchurch/<br />
I will leave you with this<br />
saying: “A community is judged<br />
by the way it treats its most<br />
vulnerable”.<br />
all of us would prefer to go to<br />
10 false alarms like this rather<br />
than not be called to the one<br />
that escalates enough to kill<br />
someone in their sleep.<br />
If you’ve ever wondered<br />
‘should I call the Fire Service?’<br />
Yes – do it.<br />
On the other hand, a<br />
colleague in this office called<br />
in a car fire the other day when<br />
out in traffic. Turned out to be<br />
steam. Now he’s fair game.<br />

A bookshop<br />
and so much more<br />
From bookworms to reluctant readers, the Original Children’s<br />
Bookshop caters for all.<br />
Finding a genuine, specialist bookshop<br />
nowadays is a true joy, and Christchurch is<br />
privileged to have the Original Children’s<br />
Bookshop, still locally owned and still<br />
going strong after 40 years in the city.<br />
now located at 227 Blenheim Road, the<br />
store is a bright, welcoming, airy<br />
space which caters for lovers of<br />
children’s books and games of all<br />
ages. it is designed to be ‘kidfriendly’,<br />
with cosy seating areas<br />
so they can try out books before<br />
they spend their pocket money,<br />
and regular activities such as<br />
book-signings by authors and<br />
story-telling sessions.<br />
The team who work there are experts;<br />
all have worked as teachers or librarians<br />
and they share the same love of children’s<br />
literature. Owner/Manager Mary Sangster<br />
says that “all the staff are passionate about<br />
children’s books and about placing the<br />
right book into a child’s hands.” They are<br />
available to offer advice and suggestions,<br />
whether the book is for a baby or a<br />
choosy teenager. There are heaps of board<br />
books and picture books for their very<br />
youngest customers, and a wide range<br />
of chapter books, activity books and<br />
poetry for middle readers. Whether<br />
their customers love fairy stories,<br />
funny stories or action, they can<br />
recommend books that they are<br />
sure to love. The ever-growing<br />
Young adult market is also well<br />
catered for, including books from<br />
all genres and from around the<br />
world. They know that classic<br />
books never go out of style, and<br />
stock old favourites that parents and<br />
grandparents will remember from their<br />
childhood, but they are also an up-to-theminute<br />
store with the latest popular trends<br />
on their shelves, too.<br />
it doesn’t stop at traditional books. They<br />
sell audio books, family-friendly games<br />
and a range of educational activities, and<br />
they run an e-commerce website to make it<br />
easier find and purchase to e-books. They<br />
cater for all reading styles, so that children<br />
who are sight-impaired, are reluctant<br />
readers or who have reading difficulties<br />
can still enjoy the experience of reading,<br />
and their expertise means that teachers<br />
and families can turn to them for advice on<br />
addressing these concerns.<br />
Calling in to browse their shelves is<br />
an experience in itself, but sometimes<br />
there just isn’t room to stock all the books<br />
their customers might want. instead they<br />
provide a free special order service. if a<br />
book is in print and in English, they will<br />
do all they can to source it and order it in<br />
for you.<br />
They are open Monday to Friday 9am<br />
to 5pm and 10am to 4pm on Saturdays.<br />

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

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

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

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

Dual mother and teacher role<br />
provides unique perspective<br />
HAEATA CoMMuNITY Campus will<br />
provide more than cutting-edge facilities<br />
when it opens in 2017, says new Director<br />
of Learning rebecca Wilson – it is a “once<br />
in a lifetime opportunity” for students,<br />
their whānau and the East.<br />
rebecca’s three children will be among<br />
the first students attending the new school<br />
next year.<br />
“As a mother and a teacher I know that<br />
Haeata is the best choice for my kids,<br />
as they will be valued for who they are<br />
as individuals and given the chance to<br />
explore their different passions through<br />
Haeata’s personalised approach to<br />
learning,” says rebecca.<br />
“I also love the fact that they will be at<br />
one school for the rest of their schooling,<br />
as Haeata caters for students from years<br />
1-13. They can stay together for their<br />
education and not be separated.”<br />
Haeata is a “new beginning” for the East,<br />
says rebecca.<br />
“The new campus will change things<br />
for the better, providing a new learning<br />
community with endless opportunities –<br />
with students right in the heart of it.”<br />
rebecca joins Haeata’s Senior Leadership<br />
Team after 13 years at Bromley School, the<br />
last two as Deputy Principal.<br />
As Director of Learning at Haeata,<br />
rebecca is part of a team designing<br />
systems and structures that will ensure a<br />
successful start in 2017. Some of the key<br />
tasks include engaging with families and<br />
students from the contributing schools,<br />
strengthening relationships with Māori<br />
and Pasifika communities, planning for<br />
diverse learners and organising safe travel<br />
routes to and from school.<br />
“I have been in my new role since the<br />
beginning of the year and not a day goes<br />
by that I do not feel excited about Haeata<br />
opening its doors,” says rebecca, who also<br />
lives in the local community.<br />
“Although it is a safe, purpose-built<br />
school with state-of-the-art facilities,<br />
for me it is more about the innovative<br />
learning and community relationships that<br />
will form as a result.<br />
“Student wellbeing is really important.<br />
Like many people living in the East postquake,<br />
it has been challenging for us as a<br />
family at times. It is reassuring to know<br />
that my kids will be supported and cared<br />
for.”<br />
A future-focused learning environment<br />
that utilises innovation and technology<br />
is a key aspect of the Haeata model, says<br />
rebecca. Ensuring cultural and diverse<br />
Rebecca Wilson with her three children – Sienna (6), Grayson (5) and Brooklyn (8).<br />
needs are met, is another.<br />
“Haeata will be culturally intelligent and<br />
cater for diversity. We know that children<br />
learn in different ways and have different<br />
needs. The campus will be at the heart of<br />
our unique community, bringing together<br />
students and their families.<br />
“It is about really getting to know the<br />
kids and their whānau, creating a true<br />
partnership between home and school.<br />
“I have 100 percent faith that Haeata<br />
is going to be phenomenal. I see the new<br />
school bringing lots of happiness to the<br />
community, which is what it deserves.”<br />
“Student wellbeing is really<br />
important. Like many people<br />
living in the East post-quake, it<br />
has been challenging for us as a<br />
family at times. It is reassuring<br />
to know that my kids will be<br />
supported and cared for.”<br />
The future is bright in the East<br />
By Andy Kai Fong<br />
W<br />
hen I first saw the<br />
advertisement for the role<br />
of Haeata Community<br />
Campus Principal, I thought it<br />
was the most exciting educational<br />
opportunity I had seen for some time.<br />
The chance to create and build a<br />
new school is rare. At the time I was<br />
working as the Head of Secondary<br />
at Hong Kong’s Discovery College<br />
and prior to that I held Principal<br />
and Deputy Principal roles at<br />
Hornby and Lincoln High Schools.<br />
Haeata Community Campus will<br />
open its doors in term one of 2017 for<br />
students from years 1-13. The brand<br />
new school is currently being built on<br />
the Aranui High School site.<br />
The campus will combine pupils<br />
from the four schools that are closing<br />
in eastern Christchurch – Aranui<br />
Primary, Wainoni Primary, Avondale<br />
Primary and Aranui High School –<br />
as well as welcoming new students<br />
from the local community.<br />
It’s really important that we<br />
capture the essence of what has<br />
worked well at the four schools<br />
that are closing and apply it in the<br />
new campus.<br />
Families can be confident that<br />
their children will have access<br />
to quality and innovative education<br />
that provides a strong foundation<br />
for their future.<br />
Having students from years<br />
1-13 allows us to build strong<br />
connections between the school,<br />
students and whānau.<br />
We are fortunate to be in<br />
state-of-the-art facilities which will<br />
provide amazing opportunities for<br />
all students and community groups.<br />
We will be engaging face-to-face<br />
with our community regularly to<br />
discuss our plans, seek feedback and<br />
answer questions you may have.<br />
Along with our leadership team<br />
and Board of Trustees, I look<br />
forward to welcoming our first<br />
students in 2017.<br />
This is an exciting time for<br />
the East – join us!<br />

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

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