• By Andrew King 

AN AMBITIOUS plan to form a 

sports club cluster in the north-west 

to lobby for funding and other 

benefits has failed. 

Westminster Sports Inc started 

in 2006 and combined the interests 

of a number of sports clubs and 

organisations clustered around 

Mairehau, Marshland, Shirley, 

Papanui, Merivale, St Albans and 

Redwood with more than 2000 

members from eight different sports 

codes. 

Member clubs unanimously accepted 

the recommendation of the 

board to wind up the operations of 

the organisation at a special general 

meeting. 

Lack of funding and commitment 

from member clubs led to its demise, 

said Westminster chairman Rob 

Smith. 

The Shirley-Papanui Community 

Board had funded Westminster 

Sports $16,000 in 2013 and a further 

$16,000 in 2014 from its discretionary

Mr Smith said while it’s a regrettable 

and difficult decision to make, this 

was something that had been looming 

for some time. 

“This reflects the significant 

challenges associated with running 

a viable sporting organisation in the 

current environment,” he said. 

Mr Smith said there were a number 

of factors that contributed to the idea 

not working. 

He said the financial position of the 

organisation was such that operation 

beyond a two to three month time 

frame was not viable and member 

clubs were not engaged to the degree 

necessary to ensure or create a viable 

business model.

DESK News.................................3, 4, 5 

WELL, THE Olympics are upon 

us and I for one am considering 

doing a few early mornings of 

intense television watching before 

work. It will be a hard grind 

during the day, but I feel that 

coffee will do its job – it is only 

every four years we get to see this. 

I’ve very fond memories 

watching the Olympics growing 

up and am hoping they will keep 

their magic. 

This week we have a very 

special guest in the paper – 

Maleficent. I’m led to believe by 

the little people in my life that 

she is rather scary but also quite a 

cool character. Reporter Georgia 

O’Connor-Harding spoke to 

Tyra Adlam who portrays the 

character while doing charity 

work. Apparently children have 

very mixed reactions when 

they see her. Page 14-15 has the 

interview. Hei kona.

Students put on a show 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

NATIONAL Academy of 

Singing and Dramatic Art 

students took to the stage 

recently in a bid to showcase 

their talent and fundraise for 

their next production. 

The third-year students raised 

money for special effects and 

costumes for their upcoming 

musical Ragtime, written by 

American’s Stephen Flaherty, 

Terrence McNally and Lynn 

Ahrens. It will open next 

month. 

They took the opportunity 

to preview a snippet of the 

upcoming production. 

Our Children, a song from the 

musical, was previewed at the 

concert. 

The production is 

based on the book by E.L 

Doctorow and covers three 

families pursuing the American 

dream. 

Morgan Mackenzie-Moore, of 

St Albans, took part in the show 

and will star in Ragtime next 

month. 

A variety of contemporary 

and musical theatre was 

performed at the concert, along 

with solos, duets, contemporary 

dance, tap dance, cultural and 

full ensemble numbers. 

Performances included songs 

from the musicals Wicked, The 

Full Monty and Once. 

Third year student Sophie 

Petersen said the preview 

concert was student-led and 

provided a fantastic opportunity 

to showcase performers from 

the academy. 

“To come together as students 

to produce an event with 

flavours for every audience 

member, it proved to be a

Work on Papanui cycle 

network to ramp up 

ashion 

WORK WILL begin the 

Papanui Parallel cycleway in the 

next two months. 

It is one of four key projects 

in the development of Christchurch’s 

cycleway network that will 

start in the next two months, 

adding more than 15km to the 

cycleway network. 

Gardening 

City council manager of transport 

planning and delivery Lynette 

Ellis said the new cycleways 

were exciting. 

“We are really creating options 

for people to consider alternative 

ways to travel. It’s the people that 

aren’t already on bicycles who 

might have been worried about 

safety, or put off by access, that 

otoring 

we are targeting with these networks,” 

she said. 

As well as the Papanui Parallel, 

construction of the Little River 

Link cycleway and the first stage 

of the Rapanui-Shag Rock cycleway 

will begin. 

They are part of 13 cycleways 

which will cost about $156 million 

to construct. They aim to

will get under way on the

Heathcote Expressway. 

The city council will also 

work with schools and businesses 

to encourage them to make use 

of the cycleways and provide 

safe, secure cycle parking facilities. 

“We’re offering people a 

genuine choice that feels safer for 

them. I do think it will get people 

out of cars and onto bikes. For 

example, a family in Redwood 

might actually see cycling to 

Northlands mall as a viable option 

if there is a safe cycleway,” 

Ms Ellis said. 

“We’ve got an opportunity to 

change the mind-set of our next 

generation and they want it. 

One of the most powerful deputations 

during the Papanui Parallel 

process was from two Papanui 

High School students just saying 

what a difference it would make 

to their lives.”

PARK UPGRADE 

An upgrade to Abberley Park 

to ensure equipment meets 

the current New Zealand 

playground safety standards 

will start next year. The 

upgrade will also ensure an 

acceptable level of community 

service is maintained, 

including accessible spaces 

and equipment. The 

playground, which sits beside 

Abberley Park Hall, is due for 

replacement as part of the city 

council’s playground renewal 

programme. The proposed 

plan includes a two-bay swing 

set with a basket swing to 

improve accessibility, as well as 

a wheelchair-friendly carousel. 

RESIDENTS’ WORKSHOP 

The city council’s Edgeware 

Village Project Team is 

organising a workshop for 

residents, businesses and other 

stakeholders to discuss the 

next stage of the area’s street 

design. This will be held on 

August 29, from 5.30-7.15pm 

at the Mainland Football 

Head Office, 127 Cranford 

St, St Albans. The workshop 

will provide an opportunity 

to consider the implications 

of decisions on recent projects 

and whether community views 

have changed. Results of a 

recent survey of parking in 

the village will be presented 

and discussed. For more

Rangi staff recognised for teaching excellence 

SEVERAL STAFF from Rangi Ruru 

Girls’ School have been recognised 

with a number of awards. 

Art teacher Kate Rivers has been 

recognised in the 2016 Independent 

Schools of New Zealand Honours 

Awards for her service to art education. 

One of Rangi’s longest serving staff 

members Frances Barnett has been 

recognised at the Boarding School 

Association’s national conference in 

Queenstown for her contribution and 

dedication. 

On top of those the physical education 

team has received an award from 

Physical Education New Zealand for 

demonstrating excellence in their field. 

Principal Sandra Hastie said the 

awards acknowledge the very high 

quality of teaching staff at the school 

as well as how hard everyone works to 

ensure that the students always get the 

very best from staff and teachers. 

“Rangi is about people. Our girls, our 

staff, our families and the wider community 

around the school,” she said. 

NINE PEOPLE who have 

studied or lived in the 

north-west area have been 

awarded grants from the Inspire 

Foundation to pursue their 

dreams and build careers. 

Angus Foster, Jack Lopas, 

Jake Koekemoer and Jared van 

“We are only as good as our 

people and it’s great to see the 

acknowledgement our people are 

exceptional.” 

Dr Hastie said what she sees as a 

ACHIEVERS 

common thread through the awards 

and winners is a focus on each girl and 

in a broad and holistic way. 

“Frances’s work in the boarding 

house is legendary. Kate’s work with 

our students around well-being is 

invaluable and her dedication to 

sustainability issues shows a depth in 

her as a person, of which we are very 

proud,” she said. 

“Last and by no means least our PE 

department. This recognition of their 

innovative programme was about 

the focus on the ‘whole girl’ with an 

emphasis on competency development 

and transformation teaching and 

learning practices,” she said.

Buy fair trade to help improve workers’ lives 

ews 

piece is 

This week’s 

opinion 

written by 

Selwyn 

House 

School 

pupil Estella 

Valenski 

about buying fair trade 

clothing 

ashion 

CLOTHES, YOU all wear them, 

you all are wearing them now. 

How many of you have 

stopped to take a look at the 

label on those clothes? 

Because if it was made in Asia 

or a Third World country, it’s 

highly likely that the people who 

made those items have been 

paid such a small amount of 

money and have had to work in 

shocking conditions. 

Firstly, the workers shouldn’t 

be working in the conditions 

they are working in. 

Some workers faint while they 

are working because of exhaustion, 

heat and poor nutrition. 

Diseases can spread very easily 

so the damp cold working places 

don’t help. 

Secondly, many of the factories 

that these workers are in have 

no health and safety policies 

or guidelines, they have the 

windows and doors locked with 

little ventilation. 

There is no regard for the 

rights or well-being of their 

employees. 

In Asian factories more than 

40,000 fingers are lost or broken 

each year. 

Thirdly, just wait until I tell 

you the massive profits that are 

being made when we buy these 

products in good faith. 

We buy these products not 

realising the conditions these 

products were made in and what 

the employees were paid to make 

the products. 

The conditions for the workers 

are terrible and it should stop. 

If we help increase the number 

of businesses with fair trade we 

can make a huge difference. 

We can help the workers live a 

more comfortable life. 

They will have good nutrition 

in their bodies and will work in 

a safe and clean environment. 

So buy fair trade and help 

these workers. 

How do you know you are 

buying fair trade? 

There should be a sticker on 

the product or a sign when you 

walk in the door of the shop 

indicating it is fair trade. 

So are you going to make a 

difference and help the workers 

who make your clothes live a 

better life? 

Do you make an effort to 

buy fair trade? Share your 

views with us. Email andrew.

Readers respond to 

last week’s article on a 

petition launched to fix the 

Harewood Rd intersection 

Adrienne Russell, 

of Bishopdale: 

I have lived in the area for 

22 years. I firmly believe this 

intersection needs looking at 

immediately, as it is four lanes 

to cross and the traffic does not 

otoring 

travel at 50km/h which makes 

a decision to cross the road and 

judging the traffic dangerous. 

All our neighbours are of the 

same opinion and when you 

get an elderly person whose 

judgement is not as quick as a 

younger person’s, they hold the 

traffic up. A lot of the traffic, 

goes left out of Gardiners Rd and 

asty Bites 

up to the first bay to turn then 

travels in whichever direction 

they want to go. 

The same coming out of 

Breens Rd, they turn left then 

take the first bay opposite 

Copenhagen to turn back along 

Harewood Rd. I will definitely be 

signing the petition. 

oney 

Mark Russell, 


I would sign the petition for 

the Harewood intersection. 

Gemma Salm, 


I would definitely sign a 

petition for the change of the 

Harewood intersection. It’s a 

horrible intersection that I avoid 

if I can. 

Readers respond to an 

article about the possibility 

of resident parking permits 

to alleviate parking issues 

around suburban streets 

Jenny Glasson, of Ilam: 

Fully support this initiative, it’s 

the only fair way to compensate 

living close to the university. 

We have traditionally been penalised 

by living close, and now 

just have parking ones side. 

However, all that side is 

completely taken up now with 

tradespeople parking while 

work is completed on the 

campus. By 6.45am the street 

is full. We are penalised if we 

have tradespeople to undertake 

repairs in our homes. The 

university needs to provide 

parking on the campus, that’s 

another issue however, it was 

unfair to limit parking for 

residents. To go into service 

centres and organise cones for 

special events is impractical. 

This initiative is in place in other 

centres, I believe in Wellington. 

Bob Broughton, 

of Riccarton: 

It is welcome news that this 

issue has been taken up. Over 

the years the residents around 

Riccarton Bush and Kilmarnock 

Waimak Real Estate 

Alison Helms 

Alison is a well-known identity in the real estate 

world, helping her clients for over 15 years. 

She looks forward to working with past and new 

clients in the north west and the surrounding areas. 

Call Alison anytime for a chat. 

PARKING WOES: Restrictions will soon be installed on 

Harewood Rd meaning residents will not be able to park 

outside of their properties longer than 120min. 

St, some with 120 parking, have 

repeatedly suggested resident 

parking permits but have been 

blocked by city council staff. 

This in spite of presenting 

photos of cities like Auckland 

and many cities overseas showing 

areas with resident parking. 

One of the issues on parking 

is the failure of businesses to 

provide a realistic level of parking 

for staff thus forcing them 

to park all day on residential 

streets. 

Another is the naive planning 

concept of one parking space per 

apartment. For example, apartments 

in the south Riccarton 

area are occupied by several 

people, each having a vehicle 

which means the streets are 

jammed with their vehicles as 

well as those from the mall staff 

parking all day. 

It is a pity Environment 

Canterbury cannot carry out 

more useful surveys that would 

examine the travel requirements 

of workers. For example, vehicles 

are queued from Riccarton all 

the way up Straven and Idris 

Rds in the mornings. Perhaps 

a more innovative approach to 

public transport would help with 

traffic and consequently parking 

problems. 

The proposed city plan also allows 

for taller commercial buildings 

in commercial areas such 

as Riccarton which increases 

the number of workers and thus 

will exasperate the traffic and 

hence parking problems. 

The university also contributes 

to parking problems in surrounding 

streets. The restricted 

parking, P120 or P60, does have 

positive benefits. It prevents the 

all day high density parking with 

vehicles parked on or even over 

driveways making it difficult 

and dangerous for residents to 

exit their properties. In my area 

it allows for visitors to local 

residences, as well as providing 

parking for those wanting to nip 

into a business or for lunch and 

for Riccarton Bush activities. 

The issue here is that there are 

those who persistently abuse 

the time limit and park all day. 

The city council does not have 

enough staff to patrol all such 

areas and the odd fine is still 

cheap parking. 

Perhaps a three strikes and 

then increased fine might assist. 

However, in the end, alternatives 

to alleviate stress on parking 

need to be found. Registering 

tradespeople vehicles with the 

city council for all day parking 

certainly worked well when we 

had repairs being carried out 

on our house. I would certainly 

support the call for resident 

parking permits across the city.

Schoolgirl rugby teams named 

EIGHTEEN PLAYERS in the 

north-west have been selected 

in two Canterbury school rugby 

teams to compete in the South 

Island Secondary School Girls’ 

Rugby Tournament next month. 

Canterbury will play host to 

the South Island’s best school 

girl rugby talent with teams 

from Otago, Southland, Tasman 

and Hanan Shield Districts 

looking to topple the defending 

champions. 

Burnside High School’s Latai 

Kaufusi and Freya Aldridge, 

Christchurch Girls’ High 

School’s Laura Thomas, Grace 

Brooker and Rosie Kelly and 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School’s Isabella 

Carter have been selected 

in the Canterbury school girls’ 

A squad. 

Sammy Moore, Kezia Fowler- 

Blyth, Jaidyn Busch, Alice 

Dalzell, Molly Simpson, Zoe 

Levien, Naia Toaolani-Holden 

and Salome Naiku, of CGHS, 

Burnside’s Rosa Samuelu and 

Sarah Hanrahan, Papanui 

High School’s Brooke Mitchell 

Michaelee McDonald and Rangi 

Ruru’s Sarita De Gouw were 

all selected in the development 

squad. 

Canterbury will field two 

teams in the competition, with 

the South Island Junior and 

Teenage Rugby Board agreeing 

to a second “development” team 

from Canterbury. 

The Canterbury A team will 

be coached by Tevita Siulangapo 

and Katie Stanton, and coaches 

are yet to be appointed for the 

development team. 

Siulangapo said the inclusion 

of two local teams is great news 

for women’s rugby in the region. 

“A tournament like this allows 

players to develop their game 

under different coaches and 

against some really tough opposition,” 

he said. 

“More Canterbury school 

players will get that opportunity 

this year and hopefully that results 

in more of the girls choosing 

to carry on with the game 

after secondary school.” 

The tournament will be held 

from September 25 to 27.

Wigram. 

This year’s show will have 

85 exhibitors ranging from 

wedding and bridesmaid gowns, 

photography, honeymoons, 

flowers, stationary, caterers, 

venue hire and many more. 

On top of that, there will be 

more than $22,000 of prizes to 

be won. 

A wedding and honeymoon 

at Norfolk Island will be up for 

grabs, as well as a honeymoon at

will be up for grabs, along with 

many more prizes and giveaways. 

Two fashion catwalks will be 

held, one at 11am and the other at 

2pm, showcasing wedding gowns 

and mother-of-the bride outfits. 


Event manager Mark Sinclair 

said this year’s event would be 

“bigger and better” than last 

year’s inaugural one. 

“If they are just needing the 

last few things or they are wanting 

to plan their whole wedding, 

this show has everything under 

the one roof.” 

He said there was a wide range 

of exhibitors and stalls to look at 

to plan your special day. 

“There are so many specialists 

that are there under one roof 

so people can go at their own 

leisure and talk to them and plan 

their day. Then they can make 

appointments to go back at a 

later date and follow up.”

Our People 


Tyra Adlam aka Maleficent 

Playing the villain for charity 

Your Local Views 

Tyra Adlam, of St Albans, has a second life as one 

Disney’s most-loved villains, Maleficent. Georgia 

O’Connor-Harding spoke to her about the reaction she 

gets when undertaking charity work dressed as the 

“mistress of all evil” 

Why did you decide to dress 

up as Maleficent? 

A lot of it had to do with being 

drawn to gothic characters. 


Characters that are crazy pale, 

with colourful eyes decked out 

in black. Maleficent is very 

commanding and powerful. I 

have so much more confidence 

in my real life now after dressing 

as this character. 

What was it like when 

you made your first public 

appearance as Maleficent? 

Fashion 

It was Halloween and I ended 

up going on a bus trip and having 

a great time. I didn’t realise 

New Zealand had these Armageddon 

expos. When I went to 

my first expo I had no idea what 

to expect. I spent the first hour 

posing for photos. The reaction 

was staggering. My character 

Gardening 

encourages strength and power. 

Meeting like-minded people in 

the community was great, too. I 

got into charity events through 

that. The goal now, with my 

friend Darth Vader, is to do as 

much good as possible. Our 

characters both know what it’s 

like to suffer. We both want to 

give back to people who need 

help – there is nothing in this 

world like it. 

What events do you attend as 

Maleficent? 

I go to Armageddon, and do 

charity and not-for-profit work 

with the Christchurch Faerie 

Circle. 

What do you do as a day job? 

I have worked at the Christchurch 

Horror Maze over the 

summer as a scare actress. 

Because of health issues I’ve got, 

I can’t really do a great deal. 

So it hasn’t been an easy 

journey? 

No. Ever since I was diagnosed 

with a chronic illness it has 

been ongoing. Finding the right 

balance is so important because 

you can do too much. Some 

days are really good but you can 

push yourself a little too much 

and your body can protest the 

next day. One of the reasons I 

MAGIC: Tyra dresses as the Disney character Maleficent when 

she does charity work. 

love being Maleficent is because 

it is not about me. When I do a 

charity event as Maleficent it is 

not about me and my issues, it 

is entirely about someone else. 

It is really nice focusing yourself 

PHOTO: KIRSTY LEE 

on people in need, rather than 

focusing on yourself. It is a way 

for me to get out of my own head 

and realise other people have 

stuff going on as well. 

You have a great outlook. 

You kind of have to. You get to 

a point where you can either sit 

there and be miserable about the 

things you can’t change, or you 

can invest your energy into the 

good stuff. 

Tell me about your family? 

I have a sister who is incredibly 

supportive. My parents live 

in Te Puki, near Tauranga. It 

is the Kiwifruit capital of New 

Zealand. My family think it is 

great I dress up. There is this idea 

that it is weird and there can be 

judgment, but my family think 

it is great. They get right behind 

it and support it. My sister is an 

artist. She is a painter that just 

got into sculpting and is very 

creative. My grand-father, who 

passed away in 1997, was into 

pottery so there has always been 

an artistic influence in my family. 

Have you ever considered 

going into acting? 

I have toyed with the idea. But 

with my chronic illness, there 

is no telling how I will be on 

any one day. Charity events do 

not happen too often and they 

are only for a few hours. Even 

if I don’t feel great, there is the 

reward of helping others and I 

can push myself through. But it 

is a matter of listening to what 

the body is saying.

FOOD 


Ultimate Winter 

Comfort Food 

As winter starts to take it’s hold (albeit late), there is nothing better on 

a cold evening than to sit down to a hot aromatic rich meal with gravy. 

This beef and ale pie checks all the boxes. It does take some planning 

though. the good news is you can just make it as a hearty stew & serve 

with your choice of vegetables if you prefer. Although a slow cooker is 

preferred, there is no reason why you can’t casserole this in the oven. 

Makes 6 individual or one large pie. 

ingredients 

1kg Chuck steak or gravy beef cut into 

chunks 

Olive oil 

1 large onion 

2 Cloves garlic 

1 Large carrot 

2Tbsp plain flour 

1/4 Cup gravy powder 

1/2 Cup beef stock 

330ml Beer 

2Tbsp tomato paste 

1Tbsp worcester sauce 

Salt & pepper 

Mushrooms coarsley chopped (optional) 

Short crust pastry for the base 

Flaky puff pastry for top 

Coat beef with seasoned flour & brown in oil. Transfer to slowcooker. Place all other 

ingredients in, set to low for 6 hours. Check for thickness, add thickening if required, cool. 

Prepare pie casing. When meat is cool divide between them. put the tops on sealing with a 

little milk. Brush with lightly beaten egg. Bake at 200 deg celcius in the lower oven for about 

25mins or until golden. Remove from oven to a cooling rack. 

For best results make sure the pastry is well refridgerated before using. 

For the perfect finish 

It only takes a few minutes to mix, microwave and top these hot chocolate 

puds with ice cream and liqueur for a rich, indulgent dessert 

Ingredients 

150ml milk 

50g pitted prunes 

2 tsp instant coffee 

50g soft butter 

50g icing sugar 

1 large egg 

50g ground almonds 

2 tbsp cocoa 

1 tbsp self-raising flour 

4 scoops coffee or vanilla ice cream, to 

serve (optional) 

4 tsp coffee liqueur, to serve (optional) 

Measure the milk in a large jug, then blend with the prunes and coffee in a food processor 

until smooth. Add the butter, sugar, egg, almonds, cocoa, flour and a pinch of salt, then blitz 

again to make a thick batter. 

Scrape evenly and cleanly (don’t take the mixture up the sides) into 4 x 175ml ramekins 

(don’t use any with metal on them!). Cook in the microwave, spaced round the edge of the 

turntable, on Medium for 6 mins. The puddings will still look a bit moist, but that’s fine. 

Stand for 5 mins, then serve topped with a scoop of ice cream and a little liqueur, if you like.

Papanui’s past 

Studying commercial practice 

• By Murray Williams, 

Papanui Heritage Group 

JANET Tillman’s 

reflections are continued 

with an emphasis on her 

school years and postschool 

employment. 

In 1967, Janet started at 

Papanui High School. 

She chose a commercial 

option in form 3, now 

year 9, and although core 

subjects, maths, science, 

english and social studies 

were taught, her course 

locked her into studying 

typing and commercial 

practice up to at least her 

fifth form year (year 11). 

She left Papanui High 

with University Entrance 

but opted to seek employment 

using her commercial 

training. 

She first worked for 

the shipping agent A.H 

Turnbull. 

She found that her typing 

skills were useful in 

preparing bills of lading, 

invoices and cheques. 

Office technology probably 

reflected the norm for 

older Christchurch firms 

at the time. 

Although communication 

with shipping companies 

was by telex the rest of 

OLD SCHOOL: An 

example of the data 

entry peripherals used 

with the computer at 

Firestone in the 1970s. 

the equipment was ancient 

and, in the four years Janet 

was with the firm, nothing 

was updated. 

Her next job was as an 

accounts clerk with the 

American company of 

Firestone in their large 

complex in Langdons Rd. 

Janet’s responsibility 

was to prepare the 

monthly costings for tyre 

prices. 

Working conditions and 

pay were excellent and the 

company was prepared 

to invest in its staff to the 

extent that it offered her 

10 hours per week to study 

accountancy in the firm’s 

time. 

Firestone was at the 

cutting edge of new 

technology and towards 

the end of her time there 

the firm started to install 

a computer system, a 

development that was later 

to result in office redundancies. 

Janet remembers the 

divide between the factory 

workers who manufactured 

the tyres, at this stage 

an exclusively male work 

force in comparison to the 

office staff which included 

male and female labour. 

The rubber workers were 

unionised and strikes were 

used to win better pay and 

conditions. 

Office staff and factory 

workers used different 

cafeteria facilities as the 

production process resulted 

in the workers being 

exposed to carbon black 

and therefore the clothes 

of anyone later sitting in 

the same seat would have 

been damaged. 

During this time Janet 

returned to her old school 

to take advantage of 

Papanui High’s extensive 

night school programme. 

She took woodwork 

classes and thoroughly 

enjoyed the experience 

that had been denied her 

while a day pupil a decade 

before. 

Thanks to Janet and 

Mark Tillman.

Getting Parents Involved 

MerrIn BelIeveS that effective 

school-home partnerships can enhance 

children’s learning. These partnerships are 

also welcome within the school to give 

students an extra boost through various 

programmes which would not be available 

without parent input. 

examples of these programmes are 

our group of Parent reading tutors 

whom work alongside 2 students three 

times a week and the Perceptual Motor 

Programme which helps enhance 

our tāmariki’s movement skills and 

understanding of language. 

Including and encouraging parents to 

be active participants within learning 

discussions is another growth area 

at Merrin. 

These opportunities are provided 

through our Merrin ICt Community 

Blog providing instant online support 

and information about BYOD and

designed portal, giving parents interactive 

responses to questions. 

There is a regular Monday Parent 

Drop in Centre for parents to ask 

questions while having a chat and cup of 

coffee. Parent information workshops 

also pop up regularly throughout the year 

on a variety of topics. 

Merrin is always looking for ways to 

enhance and grow our partnership with 

parents for the benefit of all our tāmariki.

HealTH & BeauTY 


Keeping TracK 

Of YOur HealTH 

Lets take a look at the new fitness sensation Fitbit. What is it and 

how does it work? Most importantly, 

how do we incorporate it into our fitness regime? 

Fitbit consists of a family of products 

designed to track every part of your day 

– including activity, exercise, food, weight 

and sleep – to help you stay motivated, 

and see how small steps make a big 

impact. There’s something for every taste, 

budget and technical requirement from 

the everyday category of wrist bands to 

performance-specific watches. 

All Fitbit products track steps, distance, 

calories burned and active minutes. All 

but the most basic Fitbit also track sleep 

patterns. At the performance end of the 

range you’ll also have access to things 

like heart rate and GPS tracking. All of 

the products feature wireless syncing and 

online and mobile tools, such as the Fitbit 

app to help track your exercise, sleep, 

hydration and food, and connect with 

friends. 

Seeing your progress can really help 

you realise what’s possible, and investing 

in a Fitbit may help to take you on the 

next step of your health and fitness 

journey. 

Fitbit was built on the premise that 

fitness is not just about gym time; it’s 

about all the time. So, it can be a great 

addition to your fitness regime. 

There are many things to consider when choosing a 

health and fitness regime to follow through with. 

for example: 

• What type of exercise to choose: indoor, outdoor or a mixture of both? Running, walking, 

cycling, swimming, yoga, pilates, dancing, group fitness, a team sport, or something else? 

• Who to exercise with: just yourself, with a buddy, in a group, or to enlist the help of a 

personal trainer? 

• What nutrition guidelines to follow: enlist the help of a nutritionist, or just cut back on 

processed food, for example? 

• Balance: how will you ensure you get a good balance of enough rest and recovery as well as 

the right frequency, duration and intensity of exercise? 

• Motivation: how will you motivate yourself to get out the door in the first place?! 

Professional advice from a registered exercise professional should always be your first port 

of call. They can help get you set up with an appropriate personalised programme, help you 

with exercise techniques, and help you stay accountable to your goals. 

Once you’re in the swing of things you may find you want some extra assistance to ramp 

up your progress towards your goals. investing in a Fitbit could help you to achieve this, 

especially if you’re a ‘details’ person who likes to be well organised and able to measure 

progress from 

each and every workout. Similarly, if you find you’re in a bit of a rut and could do with a 

mini accountability ‘buddy’, then a Fitbit could be 

just the ticket.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

A game changer in the fight 

against Parkinson’s Disease 

If you have Parkinson’s disease, you cannot 

afford to underestimate the benefits of 

exercise. Being sedentary is one of the fastest 

ways to see your symptoms get worse. To be 

the best you can be, consider a revolutionary 

Parkinson’s programme, PD Warrior, run by 

Muscle People Physiotherapy. 

“Exercise needs to be a front line defence 

for people with Parkinson’s disease. PD 

Warrior aims to re-wire the brain to allow 

everyday movements and activities to be 

performed with greater ease. Just like your 

muscles benefit from cross- training, your 

brain also benefits from being challenged and 

surprised.” Melissa McConaghy, co-founder 

of PD Warrior and Specialist Neurological 

Physiotherapist. 

Purposeful movement can combat the loss 

of motor control seen in Parkinson’s disease. 

PD Warrior combines a high effort, intensive 

work-out with a challenging combination 

of movements and mental strategy. It is 

designed for people with early stage or mild 

Parkinson’s disease with the aim of slowing 

down the progress of the disease. 

“PD Warrior is loads of fun and can get 

very loud with plenty of variety to keep 

people engaged. you get to connect with 

like-minded people who want to fight their 

symptoms,” says Laurie Moore, Director of 

Muscle People Physiotherapy. 

Neil, from Rangiora, has been attending 

the PD Warrior programme and says; “The 

exaggerated movement keeps the body 

moving rather than seizing up”. Neil keeps 

up the exercises at home during the week and 

says “that’s how you get the most benefit out 

of it.” He has been playing more golf and is 

able to work a couple of days a week. 

Muscle People has helped clients achieve 

some significant milestones through PD 

Warrior. Those who come to the PD Warrior 

circuit style programme at the city clinic each 

week report feeling more confident in their 

movements and are able to move more freely 

and get back into life. 

The first step in the PD Warrior 

programme is an assessment at Muscle 

People Physiotherapy. for more information 

or to book your assessment telephone the 

friendly team at Muscle People on 

360 3606.” 

PD Warrior not only re-trains your 

brain, it also helps you to get - 

• Your life back – get back to doing 

the things you love. 

• Stronger and healthier, so you feel 

better about yourself. 

• More comfortable doing several 

things at one time. 

• Better balance... prevent 

dangerous accidents and falls. 

• Able to do all the little things that 

you have recently abandoned. 

Parkinson’s - 

• Parkinson’s is a progressive 

neurodegenerative condition 

which effects the part of the brain 

responsible for initiating and coordinating 

movement. 

• Approximately 1 in 500 people 

have the condition. 

• Twenty percent of people affected 

by Parkinson’s are of working age 

(15-64 years). 

PD Warrior - 

• Uses a unique combination of 

physical and cognitive activities to 

drive the brain’s natural ability to 

re-wire itself. 

• PD Warrior retrains the brain 

and helps people feel stronger and 

fitter. 

• Muscle People Physiotherapy run 

the PD Warrior each week with a 

group of 10 people. 

What type of Parkinson’s do you have? 

Knowing the answer to this question can slow down your Parkinson’s and 

help you to look, move and feel better.

The music and spirit of the 

late, great and incomparable 

Whitney Houston 

SOUTH African born, 

Belinda Davids 

performs the music of 

Whitney Houston in a 

fabulous tribute show 

that is currently touring 

New Zealand as part of 

a world wide tour. ‘The 

Greatest Love of All : 

The Whitney Houston 

Show” plays one 

Christchurch date at the 

Aurora Centre on Tuesday 16th 

August, 8pm. 

In the wake of Whitney Houston's 

tragic passing in 2012, and in respect 

for Houston's legacy, Showtime 

Australia dedicated over 12 months 

to perfecting this production and 

finding the right star. After 

conducting over 15,000 auditions in 

12 countries, accomplished vocalist 

Belinda Davids was selected to pay 

reverence to Houston with her 

carefully crafted renditions. 

Blessed with a 4 octave range, 

Belinda has performed professionally 

since the age of 14. She has opened 

for and sung along side many 

international artists and acts, and has 

recorded and released her own solo 

album. 

In ‘The Greatest Love of All’, 

Belinda delivers over 20 of Houston’s 

most loved songs including - 

Greatest Love of All, I Wanna Dance 

With Somebody, One Moment in 

Time, I’m Every Woman, I Will 

Always Love You - live on stage in a 

spectacular show backed by a live 

band and dancers. 

Tickets on sale now at Eventfinda.
