Call for resident parking
permits across city
• By Andrew King
FIRST HE fought for a
12-month trial for contractors
to have parking permits, now a
city councillor wants to extend
that to residents across the city
as well.
City councillor
Jamie Gough
(left) wants
to introduce
parking permits
so residents in
Christchurch
can park outside
their home exempt from restricted
parking time constraints.
“Parking restrictions are a necessary
evil, to promote vehicle
turnover in busy areas, but the
point of them is not to punish
the residents that need to park
in front of their own house for
longer than the restricted time
period. I think there’s a better
way, and it’s pretty straight-forward,”
he said.
The permit would overrule any
parking restrictions on the street
they live on.
“Parking is a massive issue in
the city. I’m not saying this will
be the great savour but it will
definitely go a long way to helping
the situation,” he said.
Russley resident Ken Legat said
the permit was a fantastic idea
PARKING WOES: Restrictions will soon be installed on Harewood Rd meaning residents will not be able to park outside of their
properties longer than 120 minutes.
that will start to give residents
the freedom to park outside their
properties.
“Parking is a big problem, especially
for us, with the inclusion
of the Airport Business Park and
its employees needing a space to
park near their work,” he said.
Special introductory offer
Cr Gough said it is a bit of a
“pet project” of his but it will
take a while to get off the ground
because of the work required by
city council traffic staff and the
upcoming election.
The permits would be similar
to the contractor parking
permits he campaigned for on
behalf of a Holmwood Rd resident,
which allows contractors to
park exempt from restrictions in
suburban streets.
That idea is a month into a trial.
Cr Gough and fellow councillor
Raf Manji have asked city

Library construction under way
• By Andrew King
GROUND HAS been broken
and construction has begun on
the new Bishopdale Community
Centre and Library.
Residents and members of the
Fendalton-Waimairi Community
Board gathered yesterday to
watch the first sod being turned
on the project.
The Bishopdale Library was
closed in November 2011 following
a report that showed it
would sustain severe damage in
another earthquake.
The new facility will be built
on the on the site of the former
Bishopdale Creche in Bishopdale
Mall which is adjacent to the old
library.
It will have a combined library
and community hall joined by
an atrium.
The library includes a 330 sq m
collection space and can also
open out to a deck.
The adjacent meeting spaces
can be booked by community
groups, and will also be available
after hours when the library is
closed.
Board chairwoman Val Carter
said the old centre was extremely
well used and the new one will
be as well.
“There are so many community
groups around Bishopdale
that will be very excited for this
space to open,” she said.

happen,” he said.
It is expected to open in mid-

Massive water bypass
will prevent flooding
CONTRACTORS working on a
scheme to reduce flooding in the
Dudley Creek area will install
giant box-shaped concrete pipes
to divert water from the creek
to the Avon River during heavy
rain.
The pre-cast, concrete pipes
are 4m wide x 2m deep, and will
be laid end-to-end to form an
800m long underground bypass.
Nearly 500 sections of pipe,
each weighing four to five
tonnes, will be needed to create
the bypass, which is part of
a $48m remediation scheme
aimed at reducing the risk of
Dudley Creek flooding.
When completed in mid-2017,
the scheme will decrease the risk
of flooding for more than 585
properties.
The piped bypass will run
south of Petrie St and east along
Randall and Medway Sts to the
Avon River.
Contracting company
Downer will begin excavating
the ground and laying the first
sections of pipes in the next couple
of weeks.
They will be working from
both ends of the bypass route in
BIG PIPE: City council land drainage manger Keith Davison
stands inside one of the pieces that will be used to futureproof
the Dudley Creek area.
order to progress construction
as quickly as possible.
The goal is to have the bypass
completed by the start of next
winter.
City council land drainage
manager Keith Davison said,
when completed, the piped bypass
would be one of the biggest
in New Zealand.
It would be dry most of the
time as it was only designed to
be used in heavy rainfall events
when there was a risk of Dudley
Creek overflowing.
In those circumstances, it
would divert water from the
creek to the Avon River.
Its size meant it would have
the capacity to handle over 8 cu
m of flood water every second.
“The bypass is a key component
of the land drainage work
we are doing in the Dudley
Creek area and will significantly
lessen the risk of flooding for
nearby properties,’’ Mr Davison
said.
FLAME FILES
Don’t be dumb
• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk
Management Officer
A COUPLE of big fires featured
in the city this week including
the widely reported event in the
Sol Square building that was
demolished last weekend after
fire damage completed the work
that an earthquake started five
years ago.
This fire (right) is the latest
example of the fact that if buildings
are left empty for years the
potential for them to be set on
fire increases every week.
Particularly those buildings
that can be accessed easily and
furtively.
The incident involved seven
fire appliances and a command
unit and tied up resources for 14
hours.
The other large fire was the destruction
of a 100-year-old house
in Clifton Bay that occurred in
the early hours of last Sunday.
Inquiries as to its cause are
continuing but this was another
house empty with earthquake
damage.
It was the largest fire the Sumner
Brigade has been faced with
for some time.
Also over the week were four
incidents where people were
hurt, generally trying to control
a fire, failing and burning themselves
in the process or swallowing
enough smoke to make them
sick.
A young man was burnt at a
party bonfire near the university
early on Saturday evening.
He was taken to hospital and
the fire was put out.
Only to be lit again after the
crew departed.
Two things.
Alcohol and fire don’t mix
well.
And re-lighting a fire after fire
crews have gone is dumb and
irresponsible.
Which takes us back to the
first thing doesn’t it?

Blessing for St Barnabas
Quake repairs
under way
A SITE blessing ceremony
was held recently to get repairs
under way on the historic St
Barnabas Anglican Church.
About 200 people gathered
for the ceremony where Bishop
Victoria Matthews sprinkled
holy water around the site
and inside the church, and
blessed it.
The Fendalton Rd church was
badly damaged in the February
22, 2011, earthquake, and
services have had to be held in
the hall since.
C Lund and Son will carry out
the work to the Fendalton Rd
church, which includes repairing
stonework, strengthening the
roof connections and corners
of the building, and injecting
specialist grout into the core
of all the walls to increase the
strength and resilience of the
building.
The work would bring the
church up to at least 67 per cent
of the New Building Standard,
to make it safe and secure.

A further $400,000 needs

Church takes
in another
congregation
• By Andrew King
A CHURCH in north-west
church is helping another out
during its time of need.
The Christchurch North Methodist
Church has taken
on community groups and the
local congregation from
Bishopdale’s St Margaret’s
Presbyterian Church which was
gutted by an alleged arsonist on
May 15.
Parish chairman Richard
Chalkler said it was the least they
could do.
They are in a time of need so we
want to help out as much as we
can,” he said.
“We have so many people using
the space now that it is hard to
book time in our own church,
which is a good thing.”
The Chapel St church was rebuilt
after the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
It’s new building was recently

Putting our anti-nuclear stand
Dr Kate Dewes has been fighting to keep New Zealand
nuclear-free since her early 20s. She spoke to reporter
Caitlin Miles about receiving threats for her work, sharing
a memorable moment with the United Nations secretary
general in 2011 and her plans to spend more time with
her family
Now that New Zealand has been
nuclear free for nearly 30 years,
can you tell me why you became
involved in nuclear disarmament
work?
It goes back to 1975. I was a
23-year-old music teacher at Epsom
Girls Grammar, and at the time I
was about to teach the girls a piece
of music dedicated to the survivors
of the atomic bomb that was
dropped on Hiroshima. I wanted to
learn who the victims were and what
happened to them and the aftermath
of it. I was horrified. I decided
I wanted to go back to university
and learn about peace studies and
nuclear disarmament.
Is that when you decided to
study in England?
No university in New Zealand was
offering a course in peace studies. So
I had to leave the country to be able
to do it. I went to Bradford University
to learn more about peace
talks, disarmament and what was
happening around the world. I lived
in Bradford while I studied and then
came back here.
Why did you decide to come
back to Christchurch?
Well, I had to. And I was pregnant
with my first daughter so I wanted
to settle back here. I also wanted to
be able to keep working on disarmament
and promoting peace talks
within Christchurch and the rest of
New Zealand. In 1979, I had my first
daughter and became a founding
member of the Peace Foundation.
I ran the Christchurch office from
home. I still do.
How was it balancing motherhood
and work?
It was tough. I have three
daughters and I was a solo mum so
there was a lot to do. It was really a
balancing act. I never had hired help
to look after my girls that was part
of my job. There were other woman
involved in the Peace Foundation
so we would take turns baby sitting
each others kids when we needed
to do things. I slowed down a bit
after the earthquakes, though. It was
more a case that I had to.
Why was that?
Our house in Riccarton was
damaged following the September
4, 2010, earthquake and all of my
work and the paper I had written on
nuclear disarmament, and my PhD
on peace issues, had to be put into
storage so they could be kept safe. It
MEMORABLE: Following the February 22, 2011, earthquake, UN
secretary general Ban Ki-moon told Dr Dewes that the people
of Christchurch had his support.
turned out to be about 120 banana
boxes of work. Funnily, they were
stored in the Air Force Museum
here in Christchurch.
You got some abuse for what you
were doing, can you tell me a bit
about that?
There were some people that were
against what we were doing. It was
the height of the cold war and we
wanted to educate people as to what
was going on. I was getting threatening
phone calls about being attacked
and some people even came to my
home. I remember a photo was
taken of me in the paper with one
of my daughters sitting on my lap
and someone said to me, ‘how dare
you travel and work internationally
when you have a family!’ I just
laugh about it. There was a group
that was against our idea of encouraging
schools to teach children
about peace settlements and things.
Someone from the group against
what we were doing spoke at a concerned
parents’ association meeting
in Hamilton. That’s where I am from
and my parents were in the audience.
During the person’s speech,
he called me a communist, not that
there was anything wrong with that,
but at the time that was a rather
weighted word. My parents were in
the audience, and my dad stood up
and said that I was his daughter and
he defended me. That was a really
big thing to do.
Were there many low points?
It was hard travelling internationally
and being a solo mum, but I did
it. When I wasn’t overseas, I worked
from home so I could manage.
What do you think are your really
big personal achievements?
Being a mother of three daughters
is a big personal achievement.
Getting my PhD was another one.
I was working, being a parent and
doing my PhD, so I’m really proud
of that.

on the world stage
POLITICAL INVOLVEMENT: Former Prime Minister David
Lange spoke to Dr Dewes about making New Zealand
nuclear-free and not allowing nuclear weapons to enter the
country.
What about moments when you
have had to pinch yourself?
There were a few pinch yourself
moments with all the people I have
met and things we have managed
to achieve. I was in the United
States when I got the news that the
February 22, 2011, earthquake hit.
I thought about the house; it didn’t
do well in the September-quake so
I was worried it would be gone completely.
I got all set to head back to
Christchurch and I called one of my
daughters and she said, ‘no mum
stay there, you have some important
things to do, you need to stay and
do it’. So I did. In the morning, I saw
pictures the New York Times had
of the Cathedral and then I had to
go and speak at the UN. We were
standing around before the discussion
started and someone must have
told the UN secretary general where
I was from and he came up to me
and shook my hand and said, ‘please
tell the people of Christchurch they
have my support’. Then he told the
whole audience at the UN where I
was from and what had happened to
my city. I couldn’t speak for several
moments. I saw what had happened
at home as an opportunity to get my
point across.
What was the point you were
making?
If we had a nuclear power centre
in Christchurch, the effect would
have been devastating. Especially if
a tsunami had come through. The
rest of the country would have been
in a really horrible situation. The
Japanese ambassador challenged me
on what I said. I had no idea several
weeks later I would be writing him
letters of support for what had happened
following the earthquake that
hit Japan.
How did you meet your second
husband?
I was in Geneva for work in 1992
and Robert Green was at the same
convention about peace talks and
nuclear development. Robert was
the chair of the United Kingdom
branch of the World Court Project
so I gradually got to know him. I
had to convince him to come to
New Zealand, as the Government
were looking at changing a clause to
the nuclear legislation, so I needed
to convince him to come to New
Zealand to speak and make sure
they didn’t change the legislation.
When he was in the navy, he carried
nuclear bombs so he knows what
he’s talking about and I wanted to
get him to share his information
with New Zealand. Soon I had
people sending me money to help
get him to New Zealand.
What do you think of Helen
Clark running for secretary general?
AT WORK: Dr Dewes marks
on a map the areas that
support a nuclear-free New
Zealand.
I think go Helen. I watched the
debate she was in recently and
thought she did really well. She has
the knowledge and experience for
the job and I think she would do
really well at it.
What are you setting your sights
on for the future?
Robert and I are trying to wind
down a bit now, that’s easier said
than done though. I would really
like to be able to spend more time
with my four grand-children, too.
Christ’s students
have money
on their mind
CHRIST’S COLLEGE is among
six schools to make it through to
the finals of a national monetary
challenge.
The team will compete in the
final of the Reserve Bank’s 15th
Monetary Policy Challenge in
Wellington on Thursday.
The challenge is designed to increase
students’ understanding of
monetary policy by asking them
to assess economic conditions
and make a prediction for the Official
Cash Rate decision.
Christ’s will compete against
Auckland’s Macleans College,
Auckland Grammar School and
King’s College, as well as Waikato
Diocesan School for Girls and
Scots College, Wellington, in the
final.
Each team will have to make an
oral presentation in the final.
The winning team will receive
$2500 for their school and each
student in the winning team will
also receive prizes worth $500.
They would also be invited
back to the Reserve Bank on
August 11 to attend the Monetary
Policy Statement media conference,
meet the Reserve Bank governor
Graeme Wheeler and to see
aspects of the financial markets.
Auckland’s King’s College took
out last year’s challenge.
Final countdown for SCIRT programme
SCIRT’s five year programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and retaining walls
is now 92% complete and will finish in December.
Almost 80% of our repair programme is focused on the city’s underground
pipe networks.
SCIRT has replaced 715km of pipes – the distance of a return trip between
Christchurch and Dunedin. These pipes are now invisibly doing their important job
below ground.
Progress in your neighbourhood
• Fixing the Northern Relief, one of Christchurch’s biggest wastewater pipes running
through Fendalton, Merivale and St Albans is more than halfway through and will be
completed at the end of the year.
• Essential wastewater repairs at the western end of Aikmans Road in Merivale have
begun and will be completed in the next month.
• Ongoing repairs to the wastewater networks in Fendalton, Strowan, Papanui and

Injuries fail to stand in model’s path
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
A NEAR miss from being
paralysed has encouraged
a Papanui High School
student to make most of
her opportunities and try
her hand in the modelling
scene.
Michaelee-Jayne McDonald,
16, won the Portfolio
Model Search 2016 out of 80
entries.
Each contestant sent in a
photo of themselves from
Facebook or Instagram.
The winner was selected by
a panel of judges from the
Portfolio Model Agency.
Michaelee-Jayne, who had
always been interested in
modelling, said she tried out
for the competition because
she wanted to make the
most of her opportunities.
The keen surfer’s perspective
on life completely
changed last year after an
accident nearly left her
paralysed.
“I was at Sumner and I
was surfing up to the beach
to get a drink and I forgot I
was about 30cm deep and
I dived off my board headfirst,”
she said.
The accident caused her to
break her jaw, nose and have
about 80 internal stitches.
She said the doctors had
told her she was lucky not to
be paralysed. The accident
had opened up her mind to
getting the most out of life.
But in spite of the scare,
Michaelee-Jayne still enjoys
surfing when she can and
hopes to edge her way into
surf and general sports’
modelling.
Not only does Michaelee-
Jayne surf, she plays competitive
touch rugby and
netball for her school.
On top of her sports
development, she is taking
all science options at school
in the hope of becoming an
anaesthetist or mechanical
civil engineer.
The modelling competition
was for aspiring models
aged between 14-21.
Michaelee-Jayne, along
with several other finalists,
were awarded a contract
with the city’s premier modelling
agency.
Agency director Mel
Radford Brown said the
standard was high and
the agency was glad to
have met the nine finalists
for the competition last
week.
Mrs Radford Brown described
Michaelee-Jayne as a
stunning natural beauty.
“She just stuck out a mile
away and I think the public
will really love her, too,” she
said.
While Michaelee-Jayne is
new to the modelling scene,
she said she is a confident
person, enjoys having her
photo taken and is keen to
learn more.
She said to anyone else
wanting to try modelling to
give it a go.
“Don’t hold yourself
back, as cliche as it sounds
. . . don’t worry about what
other people think,” she
said.
HEALED: After a
surfing accident
which nearly left
near paralysed,
Michaelee-Jayne
McDonald has fully
recovered and has
been scouted by
the Portfolio Model
Agency.

SCHOOLS
Brave girls shed hair
Ten brave Rangi Ruru Girls’ School
students took part in the Leukaemia
& Blood Cancer New Zealand’s
signature fundraising event, Shave for
a Cure.
Four girls shaved their heads while
six had their ponytails chopped off to
raise money for the charity.
They aim was to raise $2000, and so
far they have $1597 in the bank.
A spokeswoman said the school
is very proud of the girls who have
shown great bravery for a fantastic
cause.
LBC is the national charity
dedicated to supporting patients and
their families living with a blood
cancer or a related blood condition.
#shaveforacurenz fundraising
contributes towards patient support
programmes, research, awareness,
and advocacy.

NO FEAR: Hilary Royds (left) had her ponytail cut off while Luka Simmers
and Jemima Seddon-Smith (bottom right) went for the full head shave
to raise funds for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand.
FUNDRAISING: Papanui High School students raised more than $1000 at their annual
Carnival Day recently. Their fundraising efforts over a week totalled more than $1100
for the DARE program. A school spokesperson said they would like to thank everyone
involved in the day, which included a massive effort by the student council.

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | JULY 2016
February 2016
earthquake
response
With each natural disaster, EQC has increasingly listened
to customer feedback to improve how it works, says
EQC February 2016 Event Manager, Jayne Lapin.
“For the February 2016 earthquakes we are emailing a
survey to customers to complete two weeks after their claim
resolution to gauge potential areas for improvement.
To date, most customers have said their experience of the
new EQC process was positive or very positive,” she said.
EQC has taken a different approach to finalising the 13,985
claims lodged by customers following the Canterbury
earthquakes of 14 and 29 February, 2016, and the
aftershocks through March and June. To date EQC has paid
over $7.8 million to customers for damage claims.
EQC is reverting back to cash settlements as there is no
managed repair programme. EQC aims to complete
assessments for these events sooner, where possible,
using a claims management approach that EQC customers
helped design. EQC aims to resolve all claims for these
2016 Christchurch events by the end of December.
“One way to achieve this is by phoning customers to get all
the relevant information up front, before conducting
assessment. For many claims, damage assessment is done
over the phone. At its heart is the drive to make EQC easier
to do business with,” Miss Lapin says.
This differed from the 2010/2011 Canterbury claims, largely
because earthquake damage incurred in 2016 quakes was
minor. Customer payments are averaging $1,000 to $5,000
per claim. Only two claims were up to $50,000, and no
claims to date have gone over the EQC cap.
Seismic monitoring on Mt Ruapehu
Marking
GeoNet’s 15th
birthday
A message from Dr Hugh Cowan,
General Manager Reinsurance,
Research and Education
This month, GeoNet is celebrating its
15th anniversary. Most Cantabrians will be
familiar with the GeoNet app which provides
instant information about quakes and
volcanic activity.
GeoNet uses a network of over 600 sensors
across New Zealand to detect, analyse and
respond to earthquakes, volcanic activity
and other geological hazards. It was
established in 2001 as a collaboration
between EQC as investor and GNS as
technical manager.
Over the years, GeoNet has been recognised
internationally as at the leading edge of
natural hazards monitoring, which is a
significant bonus for New Zealand given the
dynamic nature of our region.
Canterbury’s proximity to the Alpine Fault
means that it has a large number of sensors.
The start of the Canterbury earthquake
sequence triggered further expansion of this
network, ultimately making the February
2011 earthquake one of the most
comprehensively recorded earthquakes in
urban history.
The quantity of GeoNet data has delivered
significant benefits for Canterbury, not least
in enabling decisions relating to building
reconstruction, engineering, the behaviour
of the land, and reinsurance to be informed
by science.
Such a wide range of applications in
Canterbury exemplifies the benefits of EQC’s
investment which requires GeoNet to make its
data publicly and freely available. GeoNet’s
growing and diverse community of users
extends well beyond EQC and GNS. Land
surveyors, airline pilots, power and water
companies and local government all use
GeoNet data in different ways.
EQC is proud to have maintained such a
long-term and successful partnership with
GNS, providing GeoNet with around $12m
a year. Late last year, we committed funding
through to 2021 as part of our research and
education programme.
EQC awarded
costs from
Action Group
The Earthquake Commission welcomes
the High Court’s recent costs decision
which orders the EQC Action Group to pay
costs of $4,237 to EQC.
The costs decision was issued following the
discontinuation of the Action Group’s
declaratory judgment application. The Action
Group sought a series of declarations in
relation to the obligations of the Commission
under the EQC Act.
Chief Executive Ian Simpson says the costs
decision reaffirms EQC’s position that
litigation was an unnecessary way to address
the specific issues concerning the Action
Group members’ claims.
Mr Simpson says that EQC remains completely
focussed on settling outstanding claims in
Canterbury including those of EQC Action
Group members. “Any customer can request a
review of their individual claim if they believe
EQC has missed earthquake damage
sustained to their home, if they don’t agree
with the proposed repair strategy, or if they
believe the settlement amount is incorrect.
The process for this is detailed on our website
and EQC continues to work with our
customers so they receive what they are
entitled to and have their claims resolved.”
Customers wanting to have their claim
reviewed can call 0800 326 243 (0800
DAMAGE) or email info@eqc.govt.nz or visit
www.eqc.govt.nz/about-eqc/makecomplaint.
In such situations you should
provide us with details supporting your
request for a claim review, together with any
information you have obtained in support of
your request.

EQC continues to work with customer advisory
agencies to progress the settlement of customer claims,

damage settlement based on Diminution of Value.

Big win for Boys’ High
SPORTS
• By Gordon Findlater
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High
School had a bonus-point win
after crushing Rangiora High
School in the 13th round of the
UC Championship.
On Saturday, Christchurch
BHS made light work of
Rangiora, piling on the points
in a one-sided 83-13 win. The
team also handed Bob Letiu
and Sam Caldwell first XV
debuts.
This puts Christchurch BHS
just two points behind competition
front runner’s, Christ’s
College.
Christ’s were impressive
against third-place Shirley Boys’
High School, running in five
tries to topple last year’s grandfinalists
33-10.
While the race for top spot
between Christ’s and Christchurch
BHS is one to watch, the
battle for the final two play-off
spots is wide open between
eight teams.
Just four competition points
separate third from 10th position,
with two rounds remaining.
St Andrew’s College and St
Bede’s College are both looking
to finish in the top four. They
both won on the weekend.
St Bede’s beat rival’s St
Thomas of Canterbury College
22-12.
St Bede’s are now three points

off the final play-off spot. They
will have to get the job done
on the road, when they travel
to Burnside High School and
Marlborough Boys’ College to
finish the round-robin.
St Andrew’s moved closer to
the top four with a 51-15 win
over bottom of the table Roncalli
College on Saturday.
The run into the play-offs
couldn’t be more difficult for
St Andrew’s. They host Christchurch
BHS this weekend
before playing Christ’s.

Not your usual, this steel framed home built by our owner 30 years ago is up for sale for the
first time - ever. My owner is downsizing and moving from his hill home lovingly crafted
and thoughtfully designed in collaboration with Simon Thompson Architect, his late wife
and himself.
Built of quality materials and built to last, this home offers all that is expected from modern
homes including double glazing and plenty of insulation. Three bedrooms all downstairs
means upstairs is dedicated to a separate lounge, open plan dining and kitchen and a large

features in this home, including the workshop area, this home will surprise at every turn.
My owner has made the difficult decision to leave his masterpiece on the hill and has
purchased elsewhere. This property is sure to impress with its timeless design.

AUTO CENTRE PAPANUI
Papanui business a
beacon for motorists
The bright yellow building in Bellvue avenue, papanui, just around the
corner from papanui road has been a welcoming beacon for motorists
since 1997.
66 Bellvue Avenue, Papanui
Phone 03 352 0083
NOR’WEST NEWS
Now operatiNg as aa auto Centre
papanui, the business began life in 1997
in the capable hands of owner Colin
Downes and his wife Linda as Bellvue
tyres and incorporating the aa Lube
franchise.
“The business grew from there,”
says Colin, who has now racked up an
impressive 45 years in the industry. This
has included running a workshop for
20 years and managing an aa Service
Centre.
The aa auto Centre papanui workshop’s
two qualified technicians, Max and Brent,
and the apprentice Mathew, provide the
full spectrum of mechanical repairs and
servicing. This includes all mechanical
work, some diagnostic work, suspension
work, cam belt replacement, brake checks
and repairs, lubes, aa batteries, antifreeze
testing and woF.
Free written quotes are provided if
required, and courtesy cars are available
so customers can carry on with their daily
life while their vehicle is in the workshop.
Bellvue tyres still operates from the
site. Specialising in the highly regarded
HanKook tyres, they cater for all tyre
needs including high performance and
4wD, and tyre repairs.
“we are a one-stop shop for all
motoring needs,” says Colin. “we have
built up a business and a loyal customer
base because we believe in looking after
the customer, and in doing it once and
doing it right. That’s the most important
thing because today’s cars are expensive
to repair.
“our technicians are also long-standing.
Max has been with us for 17 years, Brent
11 years and Mathew four and a half
years. our office administrator Vicky has
been with us for six and a half years too,
so they all know our customers well and
the customers know them.”
aa auto Service and repairs is a family
business too, with Colin’s daughter andrea
having worked on the administration side
for 17 years. Now having decided to step
back and enjoy semi-retirement, Colin
is passing some of the responsibility for
running the business on to andrea, who
will play her role in keeping this successful
operation running smoothly.
Colin Downes and daughter Andrea keep it in the family.
• AA Auto Papanui can handle any of your car’s tyres, WOF or
servicing needs
• Quality HanKook tyres are available from Bellvue Tyres on the

PAPANUI HIGH SCHOOL
NEWSLETTER
Greetings, Tena Koutou Katoa,
We are now moving into the second half of the year, and
our students have been doing incredibly well. We have
much to celebrate and to be proud of. This newsletter will
give you a glimpse of what has been taking place, and
showcase a few of our many successes.
Firstly I would like to acknowledge two key events that
took place last term:
Open Night - In May the school held its annual Open
Night. We are very grateful that approximately 1200
people from our wider community took the opportunity to
visit our school, to speak to people, to see the quality of
our resources available, and to see what makes Papanui
High School such a wonderful place for students to learn.
80 student guides and over 250 student helpers in subject
areas, along with the staff, supported the evening. We
received exceptionally complimentary feedback, with
particular reference to the student input on the evening. I
will be looking forward to welcoming all new students and
their families/ whānau to our school next year.
Conference Day - I would like to sincerely thank our
parents, whānau, and caregivers for supporting the
annual Academic Counselling Conference Day. With
just over 90% attendance, the day was an outstanding
success. Having an opportunity to discuss students’
academic progress, and identifying the steps that can
be taken to support and improve their achievement, is
critical to their ongoing success. The Conference Day is
one distinct opportunity when all three parties can actively
work together to share a common goal. Over the last four
years, student achievement has steadily increased. As a
school we are committed to the continuation of this trend.
Our goal is to ensure all students have the opportunity
to achieve to the best of their ability, and ultimately gain
qualifications that underpin their transition to further study
or employment.
Our area of Christchurch is a vibrant and growing one.
Our aim is to be the focal point of education here, and
we are increasingly becoming a school of first choice.
We believe this is supported by giving students the
opportunity to study from an innovative and broad
curriculum that meets their individual needs. We allow for
a greater range and flexibility in subject choice including
the utilization of the secondary/tertiary interface. This
reinforces the philosophy underpinning personalised
learning, and is strongly supported by understanding our
students’ interests, passions, talents, and ultimately, their
career aspirations.
The school highly values the connectedness of curricular
and co-curricular learning. We have a philosophical
understanding that the holistic development of the student
is critical to their individual success. All that we do here
is reinforced by positive relationships, an ethos of caring,
cultural responsiveness, inclusion, and high expectations
– what we call “Our Full Service Model”.
We understand that for effective learning to take place,
it has to be implemented in such a way that students will
be highly engaged. The school does this in a ‘forward
thinking’ way by creating learning environments that
allow our students to see value in what they do and
achieve. Papanui “PRIDE” is what we represent and we
demonstrate this by having young adults leave our school
as confident learners who have gained the appropriate
qualifications and social skills to become valued
contributing members of society.
We invite you to view our website, school charter, ERO
report, and/or contact the school for more information at
any time.

Principal
SENIOR FORMAL
The Papanui High School
Senior Formal was held
on Friday July 1, at the
Foundry, University of
Canterbury. Approximately
430 students and 70 staff
attended, sharing in a
wonderful sense of occasion.
The theme of an ‘Autumn Dream’ was realised through the hard
work of a 20 student formal committee led by Year 13 students
Johanna Adams and Maddy Colombus and presented in the form
of hundreds of fairy lights and woodland inspired decorations.
STAGE CHALLENGE SUCCESS
117 students were involved in
this year’s Stage Challenge at
the Horncastle Arena, where
our students competed against
14 other schools. Papanui’s
powerful performance about
recycling mobile phones to
prevent the decline of mountain
gorillas (Blood in our Hands),
was outstanding. It thrilled the audience and wowed the judges
earning them six Excellence Awards out of the nine categories,
and gaining second place overall. Congratulations to the staff
and students involved, for all their hard work and outstanding
achievement.
EMERGING LEADERS CONFERENCE
At the end of term we had the opportunity to take 15 of our Year 12
leadership team to the annual Christ’s College Emerging Leaders
Conference. The conference challenges students to put themselves
forward to consider what part they would play in the community,
and what skills and attributes are required for this engagement to
be worthwhile and successful. Students participated in a variety of
workshops
run by a range of
local, national,
and international
leaders. They were
also fortunate to
hear from James
Castrission and
Justin Jones, who
are two Australian
explorers who
constantly push
the boundaries
of human
endurance
CENTRAL OTAGO MUSIC TOUR
Approximately 45 Music
students (members of the
Concert Band, Jazz Band, Jazz
Ensemble), and staff, took part
in the Central Otago Music
Tour from 4th – 7th July. They
performed at Mountain View
High School Timaru, Arrowtown
Primary School, Wakatipu High
School, Mt Aspiring College,
Wanaka Primary School, and Cromwell College.
SPORTING SUCCESS
Congratulations to:
• Jade Taylor, Aidan Batt, Britney
Aldridge, and Juliet McLauchlan
who have all made the New
Zealand Oceania Karate Rep
team, and will travel to compete
in New Caledonia in September.
They will also be competing
in the New Zealand nationals
in Wellington, representing
Papanui High School in the
secondary schools’ competition.
• Goiteom
Gebremedihim,
who has been
selected as part of
the New Zealand

activities run by the Student Council
over the five days. Two key events
were Lollypop Love notes which
raised $1,000 for Canteen, and

Book now to have
new dentures
for Christmas
While it may seem too early to start
thinking about Christmas, anyone looking
at getting new dentures fitted before the
holiday season starts needs to book in
now, says Ryan Carlton of Dentures Plus
in innes Road.
Appointments are filling up over the
next few weeks, and as the process takes
several appointments over a few months
to complete, people are advised to get in
touch as soon as possible to ensure their
dentures are settled in by Christmas, Ryan
advises.
Patients can approach Dentures Plus
directly, who will either recommend a
dentist for teeth extraction or contact
the patient’s own dentist. The dentures
are made up before the dentist extracts
the teeth, as this helps the mouth heal
faster. The professional approach taken by
Ryan and his staff ensures that the whole
process of having dentures fitted goes as
smoothly as possible.
Ryan also advises that people with
existing dentures should have them
checked every two to three years to make
sure they are not starting to wear, which
could cause discomfort in the future. This
may not be noticeable to the wearer, Ryan
says, but a free, no-obligation check-up
will determine if the dentures need some
attention, or even replacing.
The team at Dentures Plus specialise
in all aspects of denture work – from
making and fitting for first-time wearers,
relining, which is done after the first few
months to make sure the new dentures
are fitting correctly, through to providing
dentures that clip on to implants, and full
replacement dentures.
They provide full follow-up care to
patients and also supply a range of
products for denture care. These include
denture cleaners, brushes and denture
baths for soaking the dentures. Ryan
recommends Caldent denture cleaner, as
it is non-abrasive and effectively removes
stains, calculus and plaque.
Dentures Plus, 396 innes Road, is
open Monday to Thursday 8am-5pm
and Friday 8am-2pm. to make an
appointment, phone 385 5517.
Ryan also advises that
people with existing
dentures should have
them checked every
two to three years sure
they are not starting
to wear, which could
cause discomfort
in the future.

affordable and personalised childcare for
busy families who would dearly love their
children to have an ‘at home mum’ early
learning childhood experience .“This
option isn’t often possible for families
today for many reasons, but is so very
important for our little people” says
emma. “ My role is to work personally
with each family to find the best match
in an educator for them…I love helping
create these special relationships!”
Stems is fully licensed by the Ministry

alongside educators for each child which
follow the NZ curriculum. Activities,
learning and ‘special moments’ are

PHIL'S NEW ALBUM
IS NEARLY HERE!
FOLLOWING on from his debut release, Stone & Wood,
Phil Doublet is set to release his second album, Endless
Highway.
"I can't tell you how exciting this is," exclaims Phil. "The new
album is nearly here, and the preparations for the album
launch marking its official release are underway."
Well recognised in country music circles both here and
overseas, Phil is an accomplished guitarist-vocalist who has
been developing his skills for almost 3 decades in concert,
studio and "just jamming around at home".
He has claimed many music awards over the years with his
most recent being Male Artist of the Year 2014 at the National
Country Music Awards.
A strong ambassador for original music, Phil is front man
for the regular local event, 'Songwriters in the Round'. Taking
place towards the end of each month at Alvarado's on Stevens
St, each round showcases three songwriters with acoustic
interpretations of their music.
Phil launches his new album Endless Highway at Kaiapoi
High School on Saturday 27th August
along with special guests The
Ranchsliders, Dani Rigby, and Lana
Doublet.
Tickets are available now exclusively
at Music Works, South City, Colombo
St. (cash only).
