The St Margaret’s College coxed four of Ella Wells, Olivia Hughes, Olivia Hutton, Alice 

Elworthy and Lucy Davidson took out the under-19 title at the Canterbury Rowing 

Championships over the weekend. The regatta was called off early due to high winds at Lake 

Ruataniwha. However, St Margaret’s still managed to capture two gold medals.

SCHOOLS IN the north-west 

face a possible two to five-year 

wait before they will get traffic 

speed limits reduced. 

The city council has only 

$120,000 a year to spend implementing 

school zones on 

roads by schools. 

The cost covers up to 

four zones across the city 

a year. 

That means many 

schools will face long 

waits – including Paparoa 

Street, Casebrook 

Intermediate, Breens Intermediate, 

St Joseph’s, Cotswold and 

Mairehau Primary. 

A school zone is an area 

around a school where the speed 

is reduced to 40km/h during 

times when pupils are arriving 

and leaving, any other time the 

usual speed limit applies. 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board chairwoman Ali Jones 

said funding needs to increase 

to give the boards the ability to 

install more. 

“We need to look at this now 

as we know there will be 

an increase of traffic and 

denser housing . . . we 

have always talked about 

being a nibble council 

so this is something that 

needs to be addressed,” 

Ms Jones (left) said. 

The board has 

requested, as part of its 

submission on the city council’s 

annual plan, that funding be 

increased to allow it to install 

more school zones or extend 

existing ones.

EDITOR’S

NOR’WEST NEWS 

News........................................3-7 

THE CITY council needs to 

urgently boost the amount of 

money it has to implement 

40km/h zones outside schools. 

We reveal today the city council 

has a paltry $120,000 a year 

to put in school zones – and at 

about $30k a pop that means only 

four schools across the city a year 

will get them. 

Not good enough. 

If the council spent the same 

amount of money on school 

speed zones as it did on the 

Gormley sculptures there would 

be no waiting list. 

Pretty simple really. 

But on a positive note, well 

done St Margaret’s College for a 

great rowing effort at the weekend. 

Our photograph on the front 

page says it all.

Edgeware Pool group optimistic 


IT’S BEEN a decade since the 

Edgeware Pool was demolished 

and now there is light at the end 

of the rebuild tunnel. 

A resource consent hearing 

has been set for February 2, and 

it will determine if the rebuild of 

the pool can go ahead. 

It was demolished 

due to deterioration 

in November 2006, 

and since then the 

community has 

been trying to get it 

replaced. 

The closure 

and decision sparked protest 

marches, public meetings and 

bitter clashes with councillors 

and former mayor Garry Moore 

(above). 

St Albans Pavilion & Pool Inc 

spokesman Paul Somerville said 

fundraising and building will be 

the easy part once the resource 

consent has been granted. 

“It has been a long and drawn 

out process, but we understand 

due to the earthquakes things 

move slowly. I’m just happy we 

are getting closer to being able to 

fundraise,” he said. 

It has been about three years 

since the consent to rebuild 

the pool was lodged, with Mr 

Somerville saying there were 

HOPEFUL: Paul Somerville said rebuilding the pool will be easy once the consent is granted. A 

concept design of what the pool could look like has been released (inset). 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

quite a few requests for more 

information before the hearing 

was set. 

“There was a lot of back and 

forward with the council wanting 

more information,” he said. 

If the consent to build is granted, 

the city council will transfer 

the ownership of the land into a 

community trust, setup by the 

St Albans Pavilion & Pool Inc, 

for $1. 

Mr Somerville said he estimated 

they will need about $3-$4 

million to build the pool. 

“This will be a great community 

asset . . . with the new 

cycleway going right past the 

entrance to the pool, the new St 

Albans Community Centre and 

the upgrade of the St Albans 

shopping centre it, will be a 

vibrant place,” he said. 

The city council has given the 

trust 10 years to build the pool 

otherwise the land will revert 

back to the city council. Mr 

Somerville was confident they 

will be finished within five years. 

“There will be a 25m outdoor 

pool and a smaller covered 

learners’ pool for a start,” Mr 

Somerville said. 

In Brief 

DISHWASHER FIRE 

It was lucky a dishwasher which 

caught fire in Belfast on January 9 

didn’t cause a major blaze, according 

to firefighters. The St Albans 

crew were called to a Lagan St 

property at about 10.45pm and 

found a dishwasher on fire in the 

kitchen. They managed to remove 

it from the house and extinguish 

the fire. A spokesman said if they 

hadn’t removed the dishwasher, it 

could have started a much larger 

fire. No-one was injured. 

ROAD REPAIRED AGAIN 

Road repairs on North Pde, 

between number 136 and Averill 

St, which were initially carried out 

in 2015, will have to be done again. 

Previous work to strengthen the 

earthquake-damaged road surface 

did not withstand the traffic flow 

along North Pde. As a result, 

SCIRT will repair the road over the 

next three weeks. 

CLARIFICATION 

Last week, Nor’West News stated 

that a building used as the St Albans 

Transitional Community 

Centre will be relocated to Mac- 

Farlane Park after a new facility 

is built. This was incorrect. The 

Papanui-Innes Community Board 

is waiting on confirmation from 

city council staff that they can relocate 

the building onto this land. 

The Nor’West News apologises for 

the error.

Our People 


Geoff Harrow 

Love of nature and adventure 

HONOURED: Geoff Harrow received a Maori cloak when he retired 

from the Shearwater Trust. 


From climbing with Sir Edmund Hillary to walking on his own 

to the South Pole, Geoff Harrow spoke to Caitlin Miles about his 

achievements and receiving a Queen’s Service Medal 

Firstly Geoff, 

congratulations on receiving 

your medal. 

I was quite astonished, it was 

quite a surprise. 

Really? Did you know that 

you had been nominated for 

it? 

I was told someone had 

nominated me at the end of 

October. I’m not sure who it is 

but I was a little embarrassed 

because, while I had worked 

hard for mountaineering and 

conservation and skiing, so 

have a hell of a lot of other 

people. There should be a couple 

of thousand other people 

that I know of that should 

deserve it just as much or more 

than me. 

How did you get started in 

conservation work? 

Well, I was always a bit of a 

wanderer. We lived in Upper 

Riccarton near the airport 

and we would go up around 

the countryside setting rabbit 

snares and collecting, dear 

I say it, terrible things like 

collecting bird eggs! I even 

collected bird eggs from the 

main runway at Christchurch 

Airport. I’ve always been 

interested in birds. I started off 

making a birds’ egg collection, 

which is a terrible no-no these 

days, but a lot of kids did when 

I was at Riccarton School. I’ve 

always looked at the Port Hills 

and tried to get my brothers 

and sisters to take me there 

and they rarely would but, as 

I got older, I went with school 

friends and I could see the 

mountains way out to the west. 

We had a school trip to the 

West Coast and we came right 

through Arthur’s Pass and I 

saw snow up on the mountains 

and glaciers and thought, oh, 

isn’t that amazing and that I’d 

love to get up in that country, 

but I was a bit small to do that 

at that stage. So I had an interest 

from a very early age, but 

I’ve been a member of Forest 

& Bird since 1938, and I’m 90 

now so 79 years. 

You’ve also been interested 

in the mountains for a long 

time? 

I climbed Mt Oxford when 

I was about 12 and when 

I got to high school, I met 

up with other like-minded 

kids interested in tramping 

and one of them, his father, 

was a member of the 

mountaineering club and we 

went up to the Waimakariri 

in the third form (year 9) and 

we were right up there and it 

was quite something. We saw 

these back country huts so 

they were places to stay and 

the people that owned the huts 

said you kids should belong 

to the club because you’re 

using our facilities and very 

shortly after that I joined the 

mountaineering club, in 1945 I 

think it was. 

Did you work in the 

conservation sector? 

No. This was purely just a 

hobby. I worked for medical 

supplies’ companies. The 

whole of my life was spent 

in the marketing of research 

medicines to doctors and 

chemists. I’ve been retired for 

32 years now.

leads to New Year’s honour 

You were a foundation member 

of the Craigieburn Valley 

Ski Club as well? 

I suggested to the mountaineering 

club that there were quite 

a group of young members who 

had their own set up and I was 

working in some of the sheep 

stations in the high country, 

Flockhill in particular and Mt 

White. In the Craigieburn Valley, 

they asked if I could show 

them how I get through that 

valley. I was a director for the Mt 

Hutt ski field for about 12 years 

and involved in the development 

right from the beginning. 

I was very lucky to get a trip to 

the Himalayas with Ed Hillary 

in 1954 with the New Zealand 

Alpine Club. 

That’s incredible, how did you 

manage to do that? 

They were calling for applications 

and I put my name forward 

and got on the team. 

What was that experience 

like? 

It was a very big challenge. 

We were in the Barun Valley 

mapping our climb and having a 

look at Makalu, the fifth highest 

mountain in the world. We got 

pretty high up that and then Ed 

Hillary collapsed, he was very 

sick and also had broken ribs 

SO CLOSE: A view of Mt Makalu, which is located in the Mahalangur Himalayas, 19 km 

south-east of Mt Everest. Geoff Harrow nearly conquered the mountain on a climbing 

expedition with Sir Edmund Hillary in 1954. 

because he helped one of our 

team out of a crevasse. He collapsed 

at about 22,000ft (6705m) 

and we had to stop and get him 

off the mountain. So that was 

the end of climbing Makalu. But 

the highest peak we climbed was 

Baruntse, which is about 23,000ft 

(7010m). 

Have you ever gone back and 

tried to climb Makalu again? 

I went back with my wife on a 

tramping trip. I didn’t get a second 

chance to climb those, but 

I went down to the Antarctic on 

a biological expedition for four 

months in 1965 or 1966, and we 

were studying penguins and I got 

a trip to the South Pole. There 

were a lot of planes going down 

there and I got asked if I’d like to 

go. I was lucky to get on that trip. 

The planes were C130 Hercules 

and they pulled up just by the 

pole station and the navigator 

that was on the trip said this 

wasn’t quite the South Pole. It 

was about 1km away, so I walked 

to the South Pole alone. 

You must have had quite a 

few ‘pinch yourself moments.’ 

What was it like rediscovering 

hutton’s shearwater birds? 

My wife and I were on holiday 

up in Kaikoura staying with Ivan 

Hislop. He found out that we 

were interested in seeing all the 

water birds and suggested some 

things that we could do. I asked 

if there were any mutton birds or 

hutton’s shearwater colonies on 

the Kaikoura coast and he said 

not on the coast but up in the 

mountains there were. I was astonished, 

there was little known 

about hutton’s shearwaters so I 

went and had a look. That was 

about 50 years ago and I have 

been working with them ever 

since. 

You’ve mentioned your wife a 

bit, how did you meet? 

We met at Craigieburn Valley 

Ski Club. I told her I was one of 

the founders of the club and she 

came up and we met and we’re 

still together almost 60 years 

later. We both still ski, we skied 

last winter at Mt Hutt and Coronet 

Peak. She’s joined me and 

encouraged me with the work 

and things I’ve done. 

Do you have children that are 

interested in the outdoors too? 

My son Paul does a lot of skiing 

and a lot of hunting. But he 

came with me on one trip and 

just as we were going over a very 

steep waterfall, a huge rockfall 

came through – several hundred 

tonne – rocks as big as pianos 

came smashing through us. 

There were five in our party, including 

two 12-year-olds, one of 

them being Paul. Not one of us 

got a mark on us. I was terrified 

and wanted to turn round. My 

brother-in-law was with us and 

he was a pretty cool customer. 

He said ‘look Geoff, it’s all over 

and you’ve got some pretty important 

work to do while you’re 

here.’ It was a near miss but we 

did carry on.

Alternative access 

planned for vehicle 

storage yard 


A PROPOSED vehicle storage 

yard for Harewood has prompted 

fears from the community around 

road safety. 

The Car Distribution Group 

wants to build an 8.5ha storage 

yard at 711 Johns Rd to store between 

2500 to 5000 vehicles. 

But the owner of St James Bed 

and Breakfast, Margaret Frankish, 

said to bring the number of trucks 

needed to transport the vehicles 

into an already congested road 

near Harewood Primary School 

and Harewood Playcentre was 

“madness.” 

“I have a real fear that someone 

is going to be killed,” she said. 

The development would mean 

between 40 to 50 trucks per day 

would be coming and going from 

the site – most of which will have 

to drive on to Harewood Rd past 

a school and kindergarten before 

entering the site on Waimakariri 

Rd. 

O’Callaghan Design director 

of engineering Ray O’Callaghan 

conducted the consultation for the 

project and said it was all about 

finding the best fit for the community 

and the business. 

The preferred option, he said, 

was for the trucks to turn right 

from Sawyers Arms Rd onto 

Waimakariri Rd, but because of a 

traffic island, it would have to be 

modified. 

“We want this option, the community 

wants this option. It’s a 

win-win for everybody,” he said. 

A resource consent for the site 

will be applied for this week, with 

the preferred option of the trucks 

coming onto Sawyers Arms Rd 

then onto Waimakariri Rd. 

It was supposed to be applied for 

in July. However, Mr O’Callaghan 

said to get it right meant speaking 

with the New Zealand Transport 

Agency to try and get the preferred 

Sawyers Arms Rd option, 

which has taken more time. 

“I am hopeful they will allow 

us to modify the traffic island and 

existing roundabout to make our 

preferred option work,” he said. 

Mrs Frankish said the preferred 

Sawyers Arms Rd option would be 

a lot better. 

“It would be much better suited 

and safer for everybody,” she said. 

MORE THAN 140 students 

from the city and beyond 

took part in the southern 

hemisphere’s largest pipe and 

drumming summer school. 

The Royal New Zealand 

Pipe Band Association 

Schools wait for lower speed zones 

Summer School was held last 

week at St Andrew’s College, 

bringing some of the best 

tutors in the trade to the 

school. 

Canadian bagpiper Jack 

Lee, Scottish pipe-band 

drummer and leading drummer 

of the Simon Fraser University 

Pipe Band John Reid 

Maxwell were some of the 

tutors from around the world 

who travelled to the city for 

the event. 

•From page 1 

Based on the city council 

being able to install about three 

zones per year, Paparoa would 

be done in 2018, Casebrook 

and Breens in 2019, St Joseph’s 

in 2020, Cotswold in 2021 and 

Mairehau’s zone extended onto 

Mahars Rd in 2022. 

City council manager operations 

transport Steffan Thomas 

said schools are prioritised 

based a number of factors relating 

to the road environment 

outside a school. 

“The list is reviewed regularly 

and the ranking of an individual 

school can change due to 

the school, and the surrounding 

environment, changing,” 

he said. 

Currently the Haeata Community 

Campus, Marshland 

School, Somerfield School, 

Yaldhurst Model School and 

Ouruhia School are all earmarked 

to have school zones 

installed this year. 

Road policing manager Inspector 

Al Stewart said schools 

zones are a great way to remind 

motorists they are around other 

vulnerable road users, mainly 

children.

History of famous property developing 

The Mauger family has owned and 

developed properties in the eastern 

suburbs for more than 60 years. Warner 

and Patsy Mauger bought 60 acres of 

land in 1990 and developed it into what 

is now called Northshore. And now, 

the Mauger family’s history has been 

documented in a book. 

• By Fraser Walker-Pearce 

THE FAMILY responsible for 

many property developments 

in North New Brighton and 

Northshore can now sit down to 

read their own story. 

The Mauger family has owned 

property in the eastern suburbs 

since Ron and Jean Mauger 

bought a property on Rookwood 

Ave in 1945 for just £60. 

Now, Ron and Jean’s son 

Warner and wife Patsy own 

Maugers – a company with 

many divisions and arms including 

residential and commercial 

property and building projects 

across the city. 

Warner and Patsy were raised 

in North New Brighton in the 

1930s and, by 1955, Warner 

was managing the well-known 

Maugers Garage on the Bower 

Ave and Travis Rd corner on

behalf of Ron. It was the couple’s 

first business venture. 

The garage was later sold to 

petroleum giants BP and a station 

is situated on the corner to 

this day. 

Warner’s late father Ron was 

a house builder and began the 

family’s business in 1945. He 

went on to purchase and build

properties in popular eastern 

suburbs streets such as Travis 

Rd, Bower Ave, Bassett St, Pages 

Rd, Beach Rd, Shaw Ave and 

Bowhill Rd. 

The Mauger family net has 

now been cast far and wide, with 

Warner and Patsy’s own children 

Philip, Timothy, Stephen and 

Penelope also having families of 

their own. 

One of Philip’s sons, Jordan, 

was the star of television programme 

The Bachelor last year. 

Warner and Patsy live in Eastwood 

Rise, Northshore, one of 

many subdivisions that Warner 

started developing in the early 

1990s. 

The family also does a great

sold to BP and a petrol station is still there today. 

deal of charitable work, which is 

not often talked about. 

After Warner suffered an eye 

injury requiring surgery in 1964, 

Ron and Jean donated a set of 

surgical equipment, along with 

a supporting holder designed for 

infants undergoing retina surgery, 

to the Canterbury District 

Health Board’s ophthalmology 

department a year after Warner’s 

surgery. 

Later, Warner and Patsy 

donated a Kowa Fundus (retina 

scanning) camera and committed 

more than $470,000 of their 

own money to the Canterbury 

Charity Hospital for a “muchneeded” 

expansion. 

In 2011, Warner and Patsy 

donated Olympus Endoscopic 

Ultrasound equipment to the 

Department of Gastroenterology 

at Christchurch Hospital after 

reading a newspaper article on 

the subject. 

It allowed the hospital to test 

bowel and liver cancer patients 

on-site rather the patients having 

to fly to Auckland for the 

same test. Some of the patients 

who, before that, had to fly to 

Auckland for treatment were too 

sick to do so, and were forced to 

stay put. 

By June of 2012, the machine 

had provided the specialised 

investigation tools to meet the 

needs of 160 cancer patients in 

the South Island. 

But the Maugers’ generosity 

did not stop there. 

In 2015 they knew the Canterbury 

Charity Hospital Trust 

needed more space following the 

earthquakes’ increased strain on 

the community and its health, 

and so injected the trust with 

more capital. 

In a charity hospital newsletter 

shortly after the Maugers’ 

donation, it stated “the Maugers’ 

have not only provided the 

hall at Innovation Park at no 

charge as the venue again for 

the Canstaff Charity Hospital 

Christmas Ball but have also 

bought a house next door to the 

hospital with the potential to 

expand the hospital’s services in 

the future.”

family documented in publication 

The property situated on 

Leacroft St was bought by the 

Warner and Patsy Mauger Charitable 

Foundation for more than 

$470,000. 

Canterbury Charity Hospital 

chairman Philip Bagshaw said 

the generosity and donations of 

the Mauger family have assisted 

the hospital’s running for a number 

of years. 

He said two of the new wards 

at the hospital will be named in 

honour of the Maugers. 

“We’re about to name two of 

the new buildings in their honour. 

One is going to be the Patsy 

Mauger House where we can do 

endoscopy, dentistry and counselling 

and the new one next to 

that will be the Warner Mauger 

House. That will principally 

house things like dental surgery 

and a dental laboratory for fixing 

and mending dentures,” he said. 

In 2013, Mt Pleasant author 

Paul Corliss was contacted by 

Warner in the hopes of collating 

the family’s history and having it 

printed in a book. 

Corliss was “more than happy 

to oblige” and recently completed 

the three-year project. He has 

now published the more than 

500-page book, titled Mauger 

Milestones: The Legacy of a North 

Brighton Family. 

“Warner and Patsy fly very 

much under the philanthropy 

radar but contribute enormous 

sums to charities with a deliberate 

lack of fanfare and little 

publicity,” Corliss said. 

HISTORY: The Hay’s dinosaur slide was part of the 

Christchurch Santa Parade until it was sold to the Ferrymead 

Heritage Park where it was chainsawed into bits. Warner 

Mauger paid a contractor to fix, clean and paint the slide, but 

when he offered it back to the city council it was rejected. 

The book details the family’s 

rise in success from the early 

1900s all the way up to present 

day, when Warner and Patsy 

opened the Maugers Property 

project Innovation Park in Templeton. 

Prior to being Innovation Park, 

the site was used as a school for 

intellectually disabled children, 

known as the Templeton Farm 

Colony. 

In 1967 it was disestablished, 

and completely closed down in 

the 1990s. After both the CDHB 

and Ngai Tahu attempted and 

failed to turn the land into 

residential properties, it was subsequently 

sold to the Maugers. 

BLANK CANVAS: In 1990, the Mauger’s 

Northshore land was a desolate area of grass and 

weeds. Now it is a thriving subdivision. 

PHOTOS: Mauger Milestones: The Legacy of a 

North Brighton Family 

“We got advised by a land 

agent that the old Templeton 

Hospital and its site were up for 

sale, from the CDHB, through 

Ngai Tahu. No doubt others were 

also interested, and we literally 

only had the weekend to assess 

it and make our minds up – no 

time to do the usual homework. 

The boys will tell you, they 

weren’t happy with the time 

available to make the decision,” 

Warner said. 

Initially the idea for a business 

park was rejected by the city 

council, but in 2010 after a 

change of tack their case was 

heard by a commissioner, the 

decision was reversed and 

the Maugers were allowed to 

continue with Innovation 

Park. 

“Innovation Park was built 

upon a belief that to achieve 

great things people need a great 

environment to work in 

. . . companies, collaborating on 

projects and establishing a powerful 

network of complementary 

business, while employees are 

inspired to explore new ideas 

and possibilities while enjoying 

a host of outstanding amenities,” 

Warner said. 

Following in the property 

development footsteps of his late 

father Ron, and after the sale of 

the family garage to BP, Warner 

bought 60 acres of land in North 

Beach, behind Waimairi Beach, 

for “about one million dollars” in 

1991 and named the subsequent 

developments Northshore. 

“My mother thought I was 

absolutely mad as it was just 

swampy hills, tussock, broom, 

lupin and old man macrocarpa,” 

Warner said. 

The book states that from the 

first truck loads of sand excavated 

from the site up until last year, 

about 250 houses have since been 

built and sold in the Northshore 

subdivision. 

Patsy and Warner also have a 

passion for keeping history alive, 

as can be seen with the resident 

green dinosaur in their garden. 

The fibreglass dinosaur 

childrens’ slide originally sat on 

the Farmers department store 

roof, but after it was gifted to the 

Ferrymead Heritage Park, it was 

chainsawed into pieces. 

Warner was on the board 

of directors at the park at the 

time, and thought the dino slide 

should be saved as it was part of 

the city’s history. 

“We took it around to the 

contracting workshop at Tahuna 

St and with the help of one of 

the Maugers’ workers Roger 

Westerink, fibre-glassed, painted 

and rebuilt it. When the restoration 

project was complete I rang 

parks and reserves at the city 

council and said ‘the historic 

dinosaur slide is all ready to go, 

what park do you want me to put 

it in?’ . . . the offer was rejected 

on health and safety grounds,” 

he said. 

The slide now sits next to 

Warner and Patsy’s home and is 

used by local children whenever 

the Maugers host street parties. 

About the author: 

•Paul Corliss has now 

written 13 books on 

New Zealand history, 

biographies and 

bibliographies. 

•Mauger Milestones: 

The Legacy of a North 

Brighton Family is his 

most recent publication. 

Corliss said he prefers 

writing about local 

unsung heroes as they 

are, in his eyes, a lot more 

interesting and often raise 

more eyebrows than the 

more famous names in 

communities.

also the secretary of the

Bishopdale sports shop owner 

serves rackets up to the stars 


SERENA WILLIAMS may 

have only played two matches 

at the ASB Classic – but 

needed her rackets restrung 28 

times. 

Bishopdale Sports World 

owner Tony Ralfe was part of 

a team re-stringing rackets in 

Auckland for both the men’s 

and women’s tournaments at 

the classic. 

He has been a tennis racket 

stringer for the tournament for 

12 years and was excited to see 

the Williams sisters and world 

No 20 Caroline Wozniacki. 

“During her short time in 

the tournament, [Serena] asked 

for 28 restrings . . . we strung 

four of them and, within 

20 minutes, they had been 

returned to be done again,” he 

said. 

Wozniacki and Venus 

Williams had about 15 

rackets restrung during the 

tournament. 

He said this was not unusual 

as players settle into the season 

and try new tensions on their 

rackets. 

Serena, ranked No 2 in 

the world, was ousted in the 

second round by American 

Madison Brengle, while her 

sister, Venus, currently ranked 

16th in the world, beat New 

Zealand’s Jade Lewis in the 

first round but experienced

STRINGER: Tony Ralfe said it was great to see big names 

such as Serena Williams in Auckland, but a shame they 

couldn’t perform. 


pain in her right arm which 

forced her to pull out. 

“It was a shame to see some 

of those big names miss out 

on the final but great for the 

public who were able to see 

some of the other players 

perform,” he said. 

Ralfe knows exactly what 

kind of racket is being used 

and how it has been set up. 

“I was interested to see 

Venus, for some reason, 

deciding to go for the smaller 

racket head this tournament,” 

he said. 

He said both sisters normally 

use a 104 sq in sized racket but 

Venus dropped down to a 98 

sq in. 

“But when the rain delay 

came, she rushed in four 

brand new 104s to be strung. 

However, we believe she 

continued to use the 98s,” he 

said. 

Ralfe said women’s 

tournament winner, 

American Lauren Davis, has 

an additional “feather in her 

cap” as her first tournament 

win had both Williams sisters 

and Wozniacki in it. He 

had some advice for anyone 

thinking about getting into the 

restringing game. 

“I ask them one question: 

‘What are you like getting out 

of bed?’ Because it is extremely 

long hours, but a lot of good 

fun.”

SUCCESSFUL WEEKEND: Alice Elworthy was part of the St Margaret’s gold 

medal-winning under-19 coxed four. She also teamed up with Olivia Hutton to 

finish second in the coxless pair oars final. 

St Margaret’s win two golds 

in windy rowing champs 

ST Margaret’s College 

were still able to pick 

up two gold medals at 

the weather-affected 

Canterbury Rowing 

Championships. 

High winds over the 

weekend meant that time 

on the water at Twizel’s 

Lake Ruataniwha was 

limited, only allowing 22 

of the finals to go ahead 

before white caps on the 

water stopped racing on 

Sunday. 

The event featured both 

secondary school and club 

teams, with age groups 

ranging from under-15 

through to open class. 

St Margaret’s were able 

to secure two gold medals 

early on Sunday with both 

the under-16 and under-19 

crews winning their 

respective finals. 

The under-19 coxed 

four of Ella Wells, Alice 

Elworthy, Olivia Hutton, 

Olivia Hughes and 

Lucy Davidson won in 

dominant fashion with a 

winning time of 8mins 

1.17secs. 

They finished nearly six 

seconds ahead of Rangi 

Ruru Girls’ School in 

second, and eight seconds 

clear of Southland’s 

Wakatipu Rowing Club. 

The under-16 crew then 

completed the coxed four 

double for the school. 

The crew of Emma 

Roberts, Gaby McKellar, 

Harriet Kitchingman, 

Millie Crossland and 

Claudia Bethwell beat 

out stiff competition 

from Ashburton College, 

winning by just under 

three seconds. 

The St Margaret’s 

under-19 and under-16 

coxed eights recorded 

the fastest finish in their 

heats. However, the wind 

stopped the event finals 

from taking place. 

It also featured gold 

medals for St Andrew’s 

College in the under-19 

men’s coxed four and 

Christchurch Boys’ High 

School in the under-17 

coxed eight. 

A large chunk of 

the weekend’s crews 

will return to Lake 

Ruataniwha for the South

RUNNER-UP: Burnside High School student Amelia Garvey, 16, 

finished second overall at the South Australian junior amateur 

golf championship. The up-and-coming talent led the field after 

shooting an opening round of 70 at the Kooyonga Golf Club in 

Adelaide last week. A second round of 75 left her four shots off 

the lead. Garvey then recovered with a final round score of 72 

to finish three shots behind championship winner Amy Chu, of 

Sydney. Last year, Garvey helped Burnside win the New Zealand 

secondary schools golf title. She also won the Australian Federal 

Amateur Open title in Canberra and had her first win on the

KIDSTUFF 

Celebrating 45 years 

of Childcare that Cherishes Children 

In 1972, when Glennie Oborn opened 

her first centre, her commitment to 

parents was to keep each child Safe, Loved 

and Learning. And after 45 years, every 

Kindercare centre is still family owned, 

guided by the same family values, and still 

providing fun-filled care, that nurtures 

children through kindness. 

Knowing your child is Safe matters to 

parents, and to Kindercare. That’s why 

access to our centres is by keypad only, to 

control entry and exit. Protecting children 

in a secure environment is our priority. 

Love is at the heart of our centres because 

relationships matter. Our qualified, 

experienced team ensure your child will 

receive lots of cuddles and affection, which 

helps them settle, because they feel loved. 

Getting to know your child is a priority so 

we can respond to them quickly. 

Learning happens naturally, through 

play, once your baby, toddler or preschooler 

feels safe and loved. When they’re relaxed, 

they can have fun, and enjoy discovering 

their world. Your child will benefit from 

freedom to move in open spaces, exploring 

tactile environments for sensory learning, 

and challenging themselves at each 

developmental stage. 

Home-made midday 

meals, and morning and 

afternoon snacks, ensure 

busy parents don’t have to 

worry about their child’s 

nutritional needs. With lots 

of fresh fruit and loads of 

vegges for lunch, your child 

will enjoy healthy variety 

that’s good for them too! 

Parents appreciate the 

value in preparing their child 

for school. At Kindercare, 

we know the difference a 

smooth transition makes 

for your preschooler. 

Our dynamic curriculum 

includes social/emotional 

development programs, 

Letterland (introducing the 

alphabet) and Cherry.bytes 

(a safe and fun introduction 

to technology as a learning 

tool). 

We’re privileged to be 

entrusted with your child’s 

care, and we’re here to work 

alongside your family. Pop 

in for a visit…we’re waiting 

to meet you and your child. 

Entrust your 

child to the safe, 

lov ng care of our 

family-owned 

childcare centres 

Since 1972, we’ve provided more than full and part time 

care and education for babies, toddlers and preschoolers - 

we’ve provided a Kindercare family. And we’re here 

for you, to keep your child safe, share their 

discoveries, guide their enquiry, ensure 

they’re ready for school and most of all, fill 

your child’s days with love and fun. 

Our Kindercare team have a 

warm welcome waiting at a 

centre near you…

Ensuring a safe work place 

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe 

work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the 

wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that 

in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues, 

but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or 

on to the sports field? 

not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place 

can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators 

does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy 

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance 

service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid 

course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social. 

take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high 

risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that 

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability 

to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course 

of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium 

risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a 

spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight 

hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 

26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries, 

GIVE IT A GO: Are your children interested in netball? 

The Mainland Tactix will host a holiday netball 

programme at Burnside High School on January 25 

from 10.30am-12.30pm. The session will be loads of fun 

coupled with learning new skills. The programme will 

suit children aged 7-13 and cost $20. Register before

hypothermia and poisonings. 

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in 

fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most 

common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children 

are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in 

australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents 

or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far 

behind those in the workplace. 

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard 

6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk 

environments. This course covers many of the skills required to 

deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result 

in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes 

such as motor vehicle accidents. 

if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask 

your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the 

course content and give you options that will best suit your needs. 

Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your 

location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is 

up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where 

it is located.

Tuesday January PEGASUS 17 2017 POST 23 

Excitement high at 

Avonside Girls’ High School 

2017 will be a year of progress for the 

Avonside Girls’ High School whanau. 

Not only will the design of their state-ofthe-art 

new campus alongside Shirley 

Boys’ be revealed, their BYOD (Bring Your 

Own Device) scheme is being increased 

to include all of the Year 9 cohort, a new 

uniform is in the pipeline and the school 

is adopting a new style of form class to 

lend greater support to students. 

Principal Sue Hume says the new system 

will see each girl with the same whanau 

group teacher for her five years at school. 

“This model gives students the 

opportunity to bond with one teacher 

and have her own family within the 

Avonside community. The classes will 

have an hour each week together – that 

will be an important time to ensure that 

each student is happy and progressing 

within our school environment.” 

Principal Sue Hume. 

Sue Hume says this is part of Avonside’s 

drive to increase student wellbeing and 

support. 

“Avonside’s core focus is not just on 

educating but empowering girls to 

be the best they can be. You can’t 

lift students to their highest levels 

of achievement unless you have a 

supportive atmosphere.” 

Students are also looking forward to 

increased access to digital technology 

with the BYOD scheme rolling out across 

the Year 9 cohort, with the view to having 

full BYOD across the school by 2019. 

“Technological devices are just a tool 

for learning but they do unlock a whole 

new way of engaging students with 

their learning. It is also important our 

girls have the very best IT skills for 

further study and future employment 

opportunities.” 


A fresh look for 

Shirley Boys’ High School 

You won’t have to look hard to see one 

of the new developments at Shirley Boys’ 

High School in 2017 – it will be on almost 

every student you see. 

A new uniform is being rolled out… so it’s 

out with the grey shorts and walk socks 

and in with a sleek new navy and light 

blue kit. Along with the new look, Shirley 

Boys’ is continuing to show it’s at the 

forefront of education with several new 

initiatives, including a unique new form 

class, the roll out of a BYOD (Bring Your 

Own Device) system across the whole 

school and the introduction of a new 

teaching model. 

“All of our teachers will be given the 

chance to co-teach in 2017 and 2018. 

That will see two teachers working with 

two classes of students at the same 

time” says Headmaster John Laurenson. 

“It’s a collaborative approach that we 

trialed in 2016. The feedback was very 

positive – teachers inspired each other 

and the students liked being able to 

experience a range of teaching styles.” 

The new form class will have a strong 

emphasis on tikanga and te reo 

Māori, embracing Maori principles 

such as manaakitanga (exercising 

compassion and empathy), thus 

providing a respectful environment 

for focused mentoring and raising 

student achievement. Priority for the 

new class will be given to students who 

are engaged in Māori cultural pursuits, 

studying te reo or who have come 

bilingual or immersion units.

Casebrook - ʻA School 

of opportunity that will 

engage and challenge 

Casebrook Intermediate students will 

tell you they love their school and the 

learning. 

Happy students are engaged students. 

Engaged students succeed. At 

Casebrook, we constantly review our 

programmes to find the best possible 

way to excite and challenge. We provide 

a flexible programme that moves with 

the needs of the students and the 

learning that excites them. 

Our classrooms promote innovative 

ways of learning, with all students having 

access to modern digital technology, and 

learning through researching, thinking 

and acting on new understanding. All 

our students are catered for by adapting 

our programmes to find the best ways 

to teach our students and providing 

learning support and extension where 

needed. 

Casebrook’s school culture is driven 

by our REP programme. We expect 

our Casebrook REPs to demonstrate 

Respect, Excellence and Perseverance 

to provide a positive environment where 

student wellbeing is central to our school 

and community. We celebrate their 

success as Casebrook REPs through 

our school houses and REP badges. Our 

students tell us they love being part of 

the Casebrook REP community and are 

proud to display their achievements. 

Beyond the classroom we look for 

opportunities to engage our students 

in cultural, artistic, musical, technical, 

sporting and community programmes. 

We have expert teachers who strive to 

involve as many students as possible in 

our groups. It is our aim to find the right 

extra-curricular programme for every 

one of our students. 

Our students leave Casebrook filled with 

new experiences, great friendships and 

most importantly a newfound confidence 

that can be found in a supportive, 

learning-rich environment like ours.

Hornby High School 

We will start 2017 with a bang, quite 

literally, as we get set for the first 

demolitions that precede our rebuild. 

First to go are the administration block, 

and the library building, due to come 

down in March. Contractors then 

begin the build for the first part of the 

brand new Hornby High School with 

our Hauora, administration, learning 

commons and specialist learning spaces 

that cover sciences, creative arts, and 

technologies. 

The work that goes on inside our 

buildings is also changing with two 

ongoing developments. 

We are asking all students to have 

Chromebooks available during their 

school day. The evidence for their 

significant impact on learning is growing, 

all of this work underpinned with our 

learning methodology of ‘Learn Create 

Share’ (supported by the Manaiakalani 

Outreach Programme) which we share 

with our partnership schools in our Uru 

Manuka cluster. This pedagogy develops 

deeper learning and digital fluency, both 

essential in our modern era. 

We are also developing student and 

staff abilities to cause learning using 

project based learning. PBL is well 

known to improve student engagement 

and deeper learning, and following 

successful trials in 2016 is set to grow in 

use this year. 

This all forms a part of the backdrop to 

our journey towards the school’s exciting 

vision ‘A centre of creative excellence’. 

Make sure that you are a part of this 

exciting future focussed journey. 

Robin Sutton, Principal 

Riccarton’s Kokiri Lodge 

Experience 

Outdoor education is an integral and 

compulsory part of the Riccarton High 

School junior programme. We own our 

outdoor education centre, Kokiri Lodge, 

situated in Westland, near Lake Brunner. 

The Board of Governors bought the old 

Kokiri school building and some 5 acres 

of land in August 1973. Soon after the 

purchase a bunkroom was built and a 

dedicated education programme was 

developed with the emphasis on inter 

personal skills. The first class groups 

visited Kokiri in November 1974, 40 years 

ago. 

The Kokiri Experience fits in well with The 

Riccarton Way. Students get involved, 

work hard at the challenging tasks, show 

care for others, are tolerant, and always 

have to be part of team. A key factor in 

facing the difficulties of Kokiri is giving it 

their best shot. 

Each year all Year 9 and Year 10 students 

travel by train to the lodge with a 

teacher accompanying them on the 

train. A specialist Kokiri teacher and 

three instructors lead the specialist four 

day programme. The four instructors 

live at the Lodge for the camps. Senior 

students from Year 12 and Year 13 are 

involved in the programme as group 

leaders – four per camp. 

The Year 9 and 10 programmes are 

different, and complement each other 

in developing self-confidence, team 

work and leadership skills in an outdoor 

education context facilitated by the 

experienced instructors. 

Students enjoy the abseiling, 

orienteering, confidence and ropes 

courses. Year 10 students also 

experience an exciting overnight campout 

in tents in the bush. 

This two year programme, unique to 

Riccarton, is designed to provide a 

positive introduction to the outdoors 

and to develop links in the class and 

confidence in the students when 

they return to Christchurch. Students 

often refer to their time at Kokiri as a 

highlight of their school time and a truly 

memorable experience.

students of Hornby High.

South New Brighton 

School’s Got Talent 

Villa Maria College 


Dance Crew, from left to right: Morgan Bailey, Ella Timbrell, Molly Chalmers and Chloe Timbrell. 

One of the great things about our school 

is that it is a full primary (Year 1-8). This 

means that our students can stay with the 

same group of friends and teachers until 

high school and get to take on a lot of 

areas of responsibility around the school. 

This year we had a large group of Year 8 

Prefects who have buddied up with new 

entrants, visited our local kindergarten, 

led assemblies, arranged a staff vs. Year 

8’s basketball tournament and worked in 

the office at lunchtimes to give our hardworking 

office staff a break. 

We also have so many talented students 

at SNBS! For the second year in a row, 

our school has held an SNBS’s Got Talent 

Show to showcase this talent. This is 

another one of the things that our Prefect 

group has helped to organise. 

69 of our Year 5-8 students gave up 

their morning teas and lunchtimes to 

audition for their place in the Semi Finals. 

There were Solo and Group categories 

of Singing, Dance, Entertainment and 

Instrumental. All of this could not have 

happened without our dedicated 

teachers, who gave up their valuable time 

to judge and decide who would make 

it through to the finals. Leading into the 

final, the competition was fierce. The 8 

finalists performed stunningly in front 

of the whole school at our Whanau Hui. 

It was an intensely difficult decision for 

our judges, Tom and Holly from Original 

Scripts Theatre School. They decided 

that the overall winner was ‘Dance Crew’, 

dancing to “It’s the Hard Knock Life” from 

the musical Annie, and they won a $10 

subway voucher (a special thanks to 

Subway Ferrymead for donating these) 

and Miss Gill, our Deputy Principal and 

organiser of SNBS’s Got Talent, took 

them out for lunch. Every participant 

was awarded a certificate at our school 

Whanau Hui.

Make wise 

choices for 

holiday fun 

Don’t spend your holiday 

recuperating from a preventable 

accident. The double whammy of 

the holiday and summer seasons 

are in full swing. Accidents lead 

the way for ambulance rides and 

healing time. An accident is just 

that. An event that happens from 

a series of events, causing bodily 

harm. In most cases those events 

could have been prevented with 

a little more thought behind the 

decision. 

At Physiotherapy Associates, 

located at 86 Wainoni Rd, 

Wainoni, they pride themselves 

in assisting the healing process 

and they are strong advocates in 

that awareness and assessment 

are the key to prevention. 

“We stress to our clients, the 

following; always have a first aid 

kit in the car, on the boat, or at 

your location and do a first aid 

course. Muscle and ligament 

strains and sprains are some 

of the most common accident 

results.” Says head physiotherapist 

Richard.

Alcohol consumption is one 

of the biggest contributors to 

any accident. As people mature 

in many cases they acquire that, 

“invisible, superhero syndrome” 

where they feel they can do 

actions with the same buoyancy as 

when they were younger. In many 

instances this leads to the result 

of a fall, tweak or miscalculate in 

the action and an injury incurs.” 

Richard advises, “If there is 

severe pain, deformity or inability 

to bear weight seek medical help 

or call 111 immediately. If soft 

tissue pain does not improve by 

the order of about 50% within 48 

hours, visit your GP, afterhours or 

your local physiotherapist.” 

Fun is what life is all about. 

Creating memories and enjoying 

yourself. Just remember when 

water-skiing, swimming, 

playing cricket, touch, tramping, 

skateboarding, running, biking, 

walking, or any physical activity 

to assess the situation, look at the 

potential outcome and make that 

choice to protect yourself and

Anthony’s back 

with a new 

show! 

LOCAL performer, Anthony Easterbrook-Carter returns 

to the Hornby Working Men’s Club on Saturday 18th 

February with his latest show... Retro Rockin’ 

“If you love dancing and singing along to the great 

Rock & Rock 'n' Roll Hits of the 50's, 60's & 70's then 

this is for you,” said Anthony. “All the songs are hits 

you will know and want to dance along to. Songs from 

Beatles, The Beach Boys, Cliff Richard, Shadows, Elvis, 

Roy Orbison, The Shirelles, Gerry & Pacemakers, CCR, 

Doobie Brothers and many more.” 

Anthony, who has been singing professionally for 

over 25 years, has shared the stage with many 

esteemed artists including Frankie Stevens, Suzanne 

Prentice, Toni Williams, George McArdle (Little River 

Band bass player). 

A stellar lineup of top musos form his backing band, 

‘Backpack’. 

On guitar and vocals: John Campbell was founder 

and frontman of popular 60's group, ‘Johnny & the 

Detours’. As well as performing regularly at the iconic 

Laredo Nitespot. They opened for The Rolling Stones 

Christchurch show in 1965 and had many recordings 

including hit single ‘My Girl’. 

On bass and vocals: Trevor Wright was also a 

member of ‘Johnny & the Detours’, as well as more 

recent bands ‘Remedy’, ‘Page One’, and ‘About Time’. He 

has also shared the stage both here and in Australia 

with many notable artists including Suzanne Prentice, 

and Frankie Stevens. 

On lead guitar and vocals: Maurice Sammons, with 

over 50 years experience, has been playing in well 

known local bands ‘Solid Gold’ and ‘Shalow’. In earlier 

years he played in the ‘Shoobedo’ band, and had the 

pleasure of opening for ‘The Shadows’ during their 

Australian tour. 

On drums and vocals: Wayne Allen, during this vast 

career, has been involved in many top bands. From the 

early days with ‘The Dynamics’ and ‘The Secrets’ 

through to current band ‘The Hi Rollers’. 

On keyboard and vocals: Paul Andrew is the 

youngest member of this impressive lineup. He 

currently plays in well known local band ‘The New 

Entrants’ and has played many major events and is a 

highly regarded and accomplished pianist. 

And joining them of vocals, Tracey Crichton.
