Oldest collegian 

flew secret 

war missions 

• By Julia Evans 

AT 101-YEARS-OLD, Naylor Hillary will 

be the oldest collegian at the St Andrew’s 

centenary this weekend. 

Like many of the college’s 14,000 previous 

students, he has had an interesting past. 

Mr Hillary is one of the last living veterans 

of the Royal Air Force’s Tempsford 138 

Special Duties Squadron, which he was a 

navigator for in World War 2. 

THe squadron specialised in dropping 

resistance fighters and their supplies behind 

enemy lines in a Mk IV Short Stirling. 

Its existence was so classified, it wasn’t

Limited appointments available. T&Cs apply 

even acknowledged until 1989, 

and the full story has still not 

come to light. 

At the end of last year Mr 

Hillary was awarded the 

French Legion d’Honneur 

medal (right) by the French 

ambassador for his services. 

He doesn’t talk about it much 

– life is a lot quieter for him now. 

He reads the paper each 

morning, takes long walks and 

goes to church every Sunday 

without fail. 

THere’s an All Blacks jersey 

hanging on his wall signed by 

Richie McCaw. Mr Hillary’s grandson 

organised it for his 100th birthday. 

He was chuffed, he watches the rugby 

whenever it’s on. 

But Mr Hillary said his career really 

began when he started attending St 

Andrew’s in 1929. 

“I had three older sisters so mum and dad 

packed me off to board at St Andrew’s to 

toughen me up,” he said. 

THe cold showers, morning runs around the 

school paddock and open air sleeping 

quarters did the trick, he said.

IT’S A bit of a St Andrew’s 

College edition this week. 

We have comprehensive coverage 

of this weekend’s 100th 

anniversary of the school, which 

includes a profile on the college 

rector Christine Leighton, who 

has been at St Andrew’s for 10 

years now. 

On the front page, reporter Julia 

Evans caught up with 101-year-old 

Naylor Hillary, the college’s oldest 

old boy going to the festivities. 

During the war, Naylor was 

part of a secret operation which 

dropped people and supplies 

behind enemy lines in France to 

help the Resistance. Naylor was 

a navigator on those missions, a 

critical part of the jigsaw. Pinpoint 

accuracy was needed to get the 

people to the right spot and away 

from the Germans.

$30,000 funding loss for centre 

• By Julia Evans 

FUNDS EARMARKED for 

the Shirley Community Centre 

rebuild will instead go towards 

housing a social worker at the 

Redwood Plunket rooms. 

Initially, $100,000 was 

included in the city council’s 

2017-18 draft Annual Plan for 

the centre’s rebuild, but that has 

been reduced to $70,000. 

The $30,000 difference is 

going towards repairing the 

Redwood building, which will 

be used mostly by a community 

board-funded social worker, as 

well as Plunket. 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board chairwoman Ali Jones 

said the Plunket room repairs 

are needed urgently. 

But there is absolutely no 

way the community board will 

endorse any hindrance to the 

Shirley Community Centre’s 

rebuild, she said. 

“We’re still dealing with 

a lot of mental health issues 

in our ward, particularly in 

those areas where there is clear 

deprivation,” she said. 

Ms Jones said the Canterbury 

District Health Board should 

step up more in funding social 

workers but she is aware it is 

very stretched. 

STILL WAITING: The Shirley Community Centre will eventually be rebuilt at its old site on 

Shirley Rd. 

The shift of money won’t 

affect the community centre 

rebuild’s progress as it is 

still in the pre-build and design 

stage. 

The money will be made up 

further down the track as it is 

only being moved for the 2017- 

18 Annual Plan period. 

“Funding for that community 

centre is not even open for 

negotiation,” she said. 

The centre’s funding has 

already come under scrutiny 

several times to the frustration 

of the community. 

At the city 

council’s 

meeting, board 

members and 

city councillors 

Pauline Cotter 

(left) and Mike 

Davidson 

came out in support of the 

amendment. 

Cr Cotter said there’s a great 

need for the rooms in Redwood 

immediately and it runs a really 

supportive programme. 

The Shirley Community 

Centre was damaged beyond 

repair in the February 22, 

2011, earthquake, and was 

demolished in early 2012. 

It has since been confirmed 

that the new centre will be 

built on the same site on Shirley 

Rd. 

In Brief 

CYCLEWAY FEEDBACK 

The city council has begun public 

consultation over the planned 

Nor’West Arc cycleway. It is 

currently seeking feedback on the 

initial stages of the cycleway from 

Cashmere through to Canterbury 

University. Consultation on the 

remaining section, which will 

see it eventually connect to the 

Northern Line cycleway near St 

James Park in Papanui, will begin 

later this year. The city council 

said the planned route aimed to 

connect the Heathcote River and 

future Ōpāwaho River cycle routes 

to the University of Canterbury. 

It will provide a safe, direct and 

attractive cycle route, while 

minimising potential impacts on 

residents and businesses. 

PHOTOGRAPHY AWARD 

Burnside High School student 

Wenlin Zhang has taken out 

the Canon Eyecon high school 

photography award. She won 

$3000 worth of photography 

equipment and a workshop at the 

Queenstown Centre for Creative 

Photography with Canon. Her 

school also received $2000 worth 

of equipment, a workshop for 

current photography students and 

a $1000 Canon printer. Wenlin 

submitted a series of photos about 

her experience moving from 

China to New Zealand with her

St Andrew’s College 

Oldest collegian flew 

secret war missions 

•From page 1 

Mr Hillary was born and 

raised in Christchurch. He lived 

in Opawa before being going to 

St Andrew’s. 

He played rugby and tennis, 

but it was an affinity for 

mathematics that Mr Hillary 

said he took from his time at St 

Andrew’s. 

“Because I was interested 

in mathematics, when I had a 

chance with the air force, I went 

on as a navigator. You were 

calculating all the time,” he said 

He said he doesn’t think he was 

a very bright student. 

Mr Hillary was 18 when he 

left St Andrew’s to join the Royal 

New Zealand Air Force and go 

on to take part in the Royal Air 

Force Tempsford squadron. 

“I have very pleasant memories 

of my time there,” he said. 

Even beyond his working life, 

Mr Hillary has had a special 

connection with his old school. 

His son David attended the 

college in the 60s and three 

grandsons, Gareth, Rhys and 

James Bissland after that – even 

now his six-year-old great 

grandson, Henry, is one of the 

college’s youngest pupils. 

Together they will be cutting 

the anniversary cake at the 

RUGBY: Naylor Hillary with 

the signed All Blacks jersey

founder’s day assembly on Friday. 

It’s very special going back to 

the school with a great grandson 

for a fourth generation, Mr 

Hillary said. 

Even Mr Hillary’s daughter 

Pam Bissland worked on 

the committee for the 75th 

anniversary and said if it were 

open to girls then she would’ve 

gone to St Andrew’s as well. 

Our family has a special 

connection to the school, it’s an 

important part of my life, Mr 

Hillary said.

Our People 


Christine Leighton 

St Andrew’s first female rector 

Christine Leighton is 

rector of St Andrew’s 

College, which is 

celebrating its 100 

year anniversary this 

weekend. She talks 

to Julia Evans about 

the importance of the 

school’s community and 

how it plans to mark its 

centenary 

So, beginning with a bit of 

background, how did you come 

to be rector at St Andrew’s? 

I’ve been working in education 

in New Zealand for 37 years and 

I’ve had a wide-ranging experience 

through New Zealand 

schools. I’ve taught at state and 

integrated schools, single sex 

and co-educational schools, but 

this is my first time working at 

an independent school in New 

Zealand. I’ve come to my 10th 

year as rector at St Andrew’s, 

but before this, I was principal 

of St Hilda’s Collegiate School 

in Dunedin for nine years. It’s 

hard to believe 10 years have 

gone. Obviously, I’ve been rector 

through some interesting times 

but I’ve absolutely loved it. 

What is it about St Andrew’s 

that drew you in? Did you think 

it would be a new challenge in 

your career? 

I was attracted back to St 

Andrew’s largely because it is a 

co-educational college. I’d been 

educated in a co-educational 

school myself and I believe that 

it’s the best way to prepare young 

people for their futures. It’s also a 

natural environment for students 

to be in, so I was delighted to 

come back. Christchurch seemed 

like a nice place to come to and 

St Andrew’s has a great reputation. 

I was also attracted to the 

idea of independent education, 

where you have more resource 

available to you and more opportunity 

to do things a bit differently. 

I was an english teacher 

before I moved into leadership 

positions and I had taught at an 

SPEECH: Christine Leighton has been rector at St Andrew’s for the past 10 years. 

independent international school 

in England for a year earlier in 

my career, which was an experience 

I really enjoyed. So after 

all that, I decided to take on the 

challenge to see what I could lead 

St Andrew’s to be. 

Have you taught at St Andrew’s 

before or were you a 

student yourself? 

No, I’m from Auckland and 

I did my english degree at 

Auckland University. Actually, 

I did my post-graduate teaching 

diploma here in Christchurch at 

what was known as the teacher’s 

college back then, and my firstever 

teaching placement was at St 

Andrew’s. I was here for a whole 

six weeks in 1980. Some of the 

boys who were in my english 

class that year are now on the 

staff here. 

So teaching has been a big 

part of your life? 

Yes, actually my husband’s 

also a teacher at St Margaret’s 

College. He teaches chemistry so 

we’ve been in education all our 

lives and we met when we were 

both teachers at our first teaching 

jobs at Nayland College in 

Nelson. We have two sons. One 

of them, Tom, teaches primary 

school in London, he’s doing 

his OE teaching over there. My 

son Alex just got his first job in 

geological engineering after finishing 

his masters at Canterbury. 

Alex went to St Andrew’s for 

his final three years when I was 

there, he’s very proud of being a 

St Andrew’s boy. When the kids 

were young, it was an interesting 

juggle. I was a principal when 

they were nine and six, they grew 

up knowing mum and dad were 

busy. We’ve just managed somehow. 

I do think it’s an important 

message for women that you can 

do this, but there is sacrifice, you 

can’t have everything. I’m sure 

there are things the boys missed 

out on in terms of my time and 

attention, but it doesn’t seem to 

have done them any harm. I’m 

very proud of them. 

You’ve been rector for some 

really interesting times with the 

earthquakes and now the centenary. 

How has that been? 

It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster 

really. When I get a chance to 

look back on it, I’m sure I will 

have a sense of satisfaction, but 

at the moment, I never stop. 

The world changes rapidly, 

circumstances change rapidly 

– it’s the kind of job where you 

don’t get too much time to 

stop and feel that sense of 

satisfaction, you’ve just got to 

keep going since you’re always 

focusing on the next thing. Every 

year is different, every year there 

are new contexts that you’re 

working in, and every year we 

have about 250 new students 

come into the college so it’s 

always changing. 

As St Andrew’s first female 

rector, did you celebrate International 

Women’s Day last 

week? 

I’m the 10th rector to be here, 

but the first woman to be rector. 

That’s quite an achievement really. 

How important do you 

think St Andrew’s is to the wider 

Christchurch community? 

We are a big community. 

We’ve got 1450 students and 

13,000 old collegians, so it’s a 

huge community, but we work 

really hard at not being inward 

looking. 

So this weekend is the 

celebration for the centenary – 

that must be a great 

feeling? 

We’ve been working towards 

this for four or five years and 

part of celebrating the centenary 

is knowing and understanding 

the stories and history behind 

the college. We’ve really spent 

that five years learning about 

those stories. Recently, we gave 

all the students in the college a 

centenary badge, they were really 

excited to get those badges and 

they wear them with pride. 

What does the centenary 

mean for the community? 

We actually launched the 

centenary in September of last 

year, so we’ve already had a 

number of events, which has 

been great to warm us up for the 

big weekend. The school started 

on March 17, 1917.




involved in more college history 

That was the dedication service 

of the first year of St Andrew’s so 

that is the day that every year we 

celebrate our founder’s day on. 

We’ve planned a whole weekend 

of events that will engage all 

of our college and the wider 

community. We have present 

students coming and that’s from 

preschool to year 13, we have 

recent collegians who have left 

in the last five or six years right 

up to those who were here in 

the 1930s also coming. Several 

people in their 90s are coming 

back and the oldest collegian that 

we know of, who is 101, will be 

cutting the cake at the founder’s 

day assembly. We have parents 

that want to come to events and 

old collegians of all various ages 

– some coming from as far away 

as England for the weekend. 

What’s on the itinerary for 

the weekend? 

On Friday, we’re having a college 

tour for 700 guests who are 

also coming to the founder’s day 

assembly. Then in the afternoon, 

we’re holding our own highland 

games and a cocktail evening for 

1200 collegians at the college. On 

Saturday, we have a whole college 

fete, which is a huge event and 

all the students are involved in it. 

We’ve got displays, stalls, races, 

rides and entertainment – all the

St Andrew’s 

in all its 

splendour.

BAND: The St Andrew’s pipe band and other musical groups will perform at the college’s 

centenary celebration this weekend. 

music and cultural groups are 

performing on that day as well. 

Later on Saturday, there’s a gala 

dinner at Horncastle Arena for 

1500 people, which is the largest 

sit down dinner in Christchurch 

since 2009. Then on Sunday, 

we’re having a chapel service, 

cricket game and old collegians 

concert in the college hall and, 

on Monday, there will be a big 

sense of relief and achievement. 

That’s a busy weekend, what 

do you want people to take out 

of it? 

One of the things we wanted 

to do was tell our stories and we 

know the best way to do that is 

visually. We’ve created a timeline 

of 100 years of history and that is 

absolutely fantastic for everyone 

to engage with. We’ve got a 

centennial book and a centennial 

movie, which is 15 minutes long, 

so we’ll launch that as part of our 

weekend and have viewings. I’m 

seeing the preview today, which 

is very exciting. In our gymnasium, 

we’re launching 100 years 

of sport, where we’re celebrating 

more than 80 collegians, staff 

and present students who have 

played or been in the top of their 

sport. They had to have been 

either in the Olympics, the Commonwealth 

Games or the world 

championships. Then we’ve 

also had a centennial orchestral 

piece written by an old collegian, 

which is 11 minutes long, has 

our college song incorporated 

and tells our story through the 

music. Then, a preparatory 

class has created a time capsule, 

which was buried yesterday. It 

has been hermetically sealed in a 

specially-made box to preserve it 

for the next 100 years. 

So you what do you think the 

next 100 years has in store for 

St Andrew’s? 

The centenary is about looking 

back and being grateful for 

what we have been given. We’re 

celebrating 100 years and where 

we’ve got to now from our very 

humble beginnings to the extent 

which we’ve been able to develop. 

We want to show gratitude for 

the legacy we’ve inherited from 

the people that have come before 

us. But the theme is what our 

legacy is moving forward, and 

what we now have to contribute 

to ensure the people of the future 

are going to have the same opportunities 

we’ve enjoyed. I have 

had the thought that maybe 

there will be a five-year-old here 

at the moment who will still be 

alive for the 200th anniversary. 

There must be something 

special about the college’s community 

if people are coming 

from near and far to celebrate? 

There’s something very humbling 

about being part of this 

community and the opportunity 

to see and understand the impact 

education has had on people’s 

lives. There’s the sense that these 

people are reconnecting because 

they want to say thank you and 

show some gratitude and that’s 

wonderful. Often that comes 

with maturity and at a later stage 

in your life. But the thing I love 

to see is that a lot of our old collegians, 

who are only just out of 

school, have that same feeling. 

I think that’s quite strange and 

unusual for young people to 

want to come back. We’ve got an 

unbelievable number of recently 

left old collegians coming back 

for this weekend and that makes 

me feel really happy. I think that 

has to reflect the gratitude they 

have to have come here in the 

first place, because students do 

realise how fortunate they are 

to be here. But to me, it reflects 

the amazing time that they had 

when they came here so they just 

want to reconnect.

Running with 

hospital bed 

for a good 

cause 

SEVERAL retirement village 

staff will run in The Star 

City2Surf with Mike Pero Real 

Estate while pushing a hospital 

bed to raise money for a local 

charity. 

The Merivale Retirement 

Village will donate the money it 

raises to Nurse Maude Hospice 

after the run on Sunday. 

The bed has been modified 

so it can be moved around the 

6km outdoor course without 

breaking. 

It was given to the retirement 

village by InvaCare New 

Zealand and has been decorated 

by children from Angelcare Preschool 

and Nursery in St Albans. 

Five Nurse Maude Hospice 

staff and 12 nurses and staff 

from the retirement village will 

be running with the bed and 

collecting donations along the 

way. 

Retirement village regional 

manager Jon Amesbury said it 

wants be involved in community 

projects and connect with the 

community, so the staff have 

chosen to run The Star City- 

2Surf. 

Sick bed to City2Surf 

TURNAROUND: Leanne Crawford has put poor 

health behind her and is looking forward to the 

City2Surf. 


• By Gabrielle Stuart 

JUST A year ago, Leanne Crawford could 

barely walk, had lost 30kg, was constantly 

sick, and had to put both her work and her 

wedding on hold – and she had no idea what 

was going wrong. 

This weekend, she will take on the 14km 

The Star City2Surf with Mike Pero Real 

Estate event, which she will walk, and she 

won’t be doing it alone. 

Her partner, friends and many of the 

nurses who helped her get on her feet 

again plan to do the walk beside her – 

41 people in total – raising money to 

help others with the same condition 

get treatment. 

The 30-year-old began feeling sick 

in 2014, but initially doctors did not 

know what was wrong. 

It took almost two years for her to 

be diagnosed and find a treatment, 

because she was facing a complex 

mix of parasites in her intestines, 

crohn’s disease and endometriosis. 

For much of that time she couldn’t 

work, and she had to postpone her 

wedding three times. 

“It was like my life was turned 

upside down. It was really, really 

frightening just not knowing what 

was going on,” she said. 

After a Christchurch gastroenterology 

specialist, Steven Ding, 

diagnosed her problems, she has made 

a gradual recovery. 


But she said it was only possible because 

of the help she received, and the diagnosis 

tools provided by the Canterbury Bowel and 

Liver Trust. 

“The things that finally got me well cost a 

lot of money, so I wanted to give something 

back,” she said. 

She has already raised almost $1500 

through people sponsoring her run. 

She said she had never done anything like 

the City2Surf before, and after being sick 

for so long being able to cross the finish line 

would feel like a giant victory. 

“I’m sure there will be tears,” she said. 

“I finally feel like I’ve got my life back. I 

can’t go for drinks or dinner like normal, 

but I am still able to work, which is amazing.” 

She works for Bupa as an activity organiser, 

and said they held her job for her, in 

spite of the fact she was off work for three 

months. 

She has also rescheduled her wedding, and 

plans to marry her partner of eight years, 

Craig Corboy, this December. 

“I’m determined I’m going to get down the 

aisle this time,” she said.

THE ROTARY Club of 

Papanui raised more than 

$16,000 for local community 

groups through its annual 

gift-wrapping stations at 

Northlands. 

The stations were staffed by 

volunteers from the club and 10 

local community group teams. 

In February the club held a 

special presentation event at 

the Papanui Club on Sawyers 

Arms Rd where they meet every 

Thursday. 

Club member Verdi van Beek 

said each group expressed its 

thanks to the club and Northlands 

management for making 

the fundraising opportunity 

available. 

All 10 groups were presented 

with cheques of $1670. 

Allenvale School said it is 

DONATION: 

The Rotary 

Club of 

Papanui 

with 

members 

of the 

community 

groups they 

donated 

more than 

$16,000 to. 

Organisations receive grants 

going to provide more sensory 

processing equipment for the 

children at the school. 

St John Cranmer Section 

cadet programme, St John No 

3 preparatory youth group and 

the Belfast Redwood Anglican 

Parish Church youth group will 

spend their money on camp-ins, 

outdoor learning experiences 

for young people an Easter 

camp. 

Papanui High School will 

provide funds for its Japanese 

language students’ trip to Japan, 

where they will experience the 

culture and foster a better understanding 

of the language. 

The Papanui High School Parent 

Teacher Association said it 

will use its money to assist with 

events at the school. 

Soroptimists is going to provide 

horse riding for disabled 

people, a provision for girl 

guides and a night shelter for 

women and babies effected by 

family violence. 

Aratupu Preschool and Nursery 

wants to buy more outdoor 

equipment. 

Kiwi Family Trust said it will 

help families in need, knitters, 

Plunket groups and camps for 

children. 

O’Neill School of Dance will 

put the money towards the 

32 dancers that are attending 

the World Irish Dancing 

Championships in Dublin in 

April. 

Mr van Beek said Papanui 

Rotary and Northlands wanted 

to thank the public for support 

of the programme so they can 

continue to help others. 

Get prepared for winter 

Fire risk management officer 

Mark Thomas talks about the 

precautions you should take to 

stay safe as winter approaches 

Murphy’s Law applies. 

Last week I talked about my 

frustration at the number of 

people still burning rubbish 

and vegetation in ultra-dry 

conditions. 

So what happens? It rains and 

then instantly turns cold enough 

to say summer’s over, welcome 

to winter. And people start 

lighting their fireplaces, causing 

more calls, in one case from a 

disgruntled neighbour, and in 

another from the house where 

the fire had been lit because 

the smoke wasn’t exiting up 

the chimney, but was filling the 

home up instead. 

So in what seems an 

unusually early cold season, 

the recommendation is to get 

your chimney flue swept – now. 

Smoky chimneys are one thing, 

but just about every year at the 

onset of winter we have house 

fires caused by fireplaces 

that have sat unused for six 

months. 

While we are at it, this is also 

certainly the time to have electric 

blankets checked and certified. 

There are a couple of appliance 

firms that provide this service 

quite cheaply. 

For peace of mind, it’s a strong 

recommendation from us that 

everyone should have the blanket 

checked annually. 

I haven’t mentioned kitchen 

fires for a while. That’s not 

because they haven’t been 

happening, but more because 

I don’t want to sound like a 

cracked record. 

One third of all house fires 

start in the kitchen. This week 

there were three, though 

unusually, none of them involved 

ambulance care for house 

occupants. 

Finally, we are just a few weeks 

from daylight saving ending. 

Stick smoke alarm batteries on 

the shopping list now!

Can we do things better? 

Frustrations 

around 

heavy 

roadworks 

in the north 

west are 

testing even 

the most 

patient 

drivers, says Ali Jones but 

she’s assuring residents 

there’s a logic behind it 

I am not the world’s most patient 

driver, as my children and 

husband will attest to. 

When the kids were little, 

they travelled with me a lot as 

we drove to meetings here and 

there. 

I’m not going to tell you what 

their first words were but I can’t 

think where they got them from. 

The roadworks in the 

Papanui-Innes area are testing 

even the most ‘well balanced’ 

amongst us right now. 

Whenever, there’s something 

that on the face of it seems to be 

illogical or could be done better, 

I’m the first to call or email a 

city council officer or our board 

support staff to find out more. 

This happened recently with 

the screamingly frustrating 

work going on at the Rutland 

and Westminster St corner and 

DISRUPTION: Businesses in 

Rutland St need support in 

tough times. 

further along Rutland St to 

Innes Rd. 

Why so long? Why so few 

people working? It helps doesn’t 

it, to have all the information 

before going off half-cocked. 

I was told in a very detailed 

and prompt response from the 

head of the cycleway projects 

that three strands of work are 

happening at once – the laying 

of fibre cables, the replacement 

or repair of wastewater and 

stormwater pipes and finally the 

cycleway construction. 

If these were done one after 

the other, it would take much 

longer and see roads dug up 

that were sealed by the previous 

crews. 

Of course, there are always 

things we can do better – liaising 

more with businesses and 

residents face to face, providing 

good signage alerting customers 

to the fact shops are still open as 

well as proactively encouraging 

people to support the businesses 

at a tough time, there are three 

right there. 

I know our officers do that but 

sometimes we don’t consider 

enough things like how well a 

business owner can speak or 

read English, or whether they 

use the internet. 

Don’t get me wrong, most of 

the time we (and I mean the 

city council) do get it right but 

we don’t see those stories on the 

front page of the paper. 

We are a ‘can-do’ council and 

if there’s anything you think we 

can do better, tell us through 

our councillors and community 

board members. 

That’s what we are there for. 

Readers respond to an 

article in Nor’West News on 

a new scheme at Jellie Park 

encouraging people to ride 

their cycles and leave their 

cars at home 

Jane Houghton – Great to 

see trials like this. All encouragement 

for biking is great. Once 

sports centre is built in the east 

I’ll like to accept this challenge 

if it has been initiated as a long 

term plan. 

Michael Rae – Good idea but 

how many bikes will start getting 

stolen. 

Anna Henderson – What a 

great initiative! 

Cathryn Lucy – I think 

they’re going the wrong way 

about this. People respond to instant 

gratification – so how about 

if they bike, they get a discount? 

The discount could be 20 per cent 

off, so really the same as biking 

five times and getting the sixth 

free. But they get something for it 

immediately, and thus are more 

motivated. What about a current 

bus pass being shown could get 

a discount of some kind too? I 

reckon it should be discounted 

for people who bike as people 

respond to instant gratification. 

Ten per cent off if you bus, 20 per 

cent off if you bike? I say 20 per 

cent because they want you to 

bike five times to get a free pass 

for the sixth. Well, divide the 

cost of a free pass by five and 

spread it out over each session, 

and people are more likely to go 

as they get an instant reward for 

the effort. 

Paul Welford – Free entry 

for biking . . . walk home 

afterwards once your bikes been 

stolen. 

Heather Wilkins – We have 

a lot further to bike as well and 

one does need to be safe on the 

roads which often you aren’t. 

Christine Weston – Great 

idea but we have a lot further 

to bike from the east side so it 

should be based on distance 

travelled not times. 

Garry Mitchell – Stick the 

bike in the vehicle and wheel it 

in.

MP FOR WAIMAKARIRI 

CHAT WITH MATT 

The Belfast Community Network 

(BCN) and fellow members of the 

North West Collective are doing great 

work in our communities. I brought 

Minister for the Community and 

Voluntary Sector Hon Alfred Ngaro to 

meet members this month for some 

valuable, two-way information sharing 

and to visit the BCN at their Sheldon 

Park offices. It’s important to me to 

provide opportunities for all our local 

organisations to talk directly to our 

Ministers. 

The Building Stronger Communities 

public meeting I held at the Belfast 

Rugby Club with Minister Ngaro on 

2 March received great feedback 

from our local community groups and 

residents. It was exciting to see people 

get involved in how we can support 

our communities as they grow. Our 

regeneration is not just about the 

bricks and mortar but keeping our 

communities connected and resourced. 

I enjoyed getting involved in the 

launch of the Good Night, Sleep Tight 

charitable trust in Casebrook earlier 

this month. Trust members are 

working hard to ensure children in 

greater Christchurch have access to 

warm winter bedding and pyjamas, 

and I encourage everyone to support 

this great work. 

I joined our community in marking 

the sixth anniversary of the Canterbury 

earthquake at the memorial service 

and unveiling of the earthquake 

national memorial. We will always 

remember those who lost their lives 

on that terrible day.

Hello 

Bakery offers Kiwi 

favourites fresh every day 

When it comes to tasty Kiwi favourites 

baked fresh every day, there’s really no place 

like Ma Baker. Owners Paul and Nicky 

Garven have been in the bakery business 

since 1995, and since then have built up a 

strong and loyal customer following. 

Their team of bakers start early in the 

morning making everything from scratch 

to bring their customers fresh products 

every day. These include their delicious 

bread, which is used to make Ma Baker’s 

famous rolls and sandwiches as well as 

being available for purchase. 

In addition to the fresh bread, filled rolls 

and sandwiches, they also have delicious 

scones, tarts and slices, as well as the more 

sophisticated offerings. These include 

donuts filled with continental custard, filos, 

paninis and quiches. 

And that’s not forgetting the tradie 

favourites for those hungry road and 

construction workers – pies, stuffed 

sausages, filled potatoes, saveloy toasties, 

sticky buns and cinnamon cream donuts. 

For morning and afternoon teas and 

family dinners Ma Baker has scrumptious 

family fruit pies, large bacon and egg pies, 

iced cakes, cream sponges, savoury packs 

and the popular authentic Southland 

cheese roll ups. There is also a large range 

of mouth-watering biscuits made with real 

butter. 

With Easter just a few weeks away, the 

bakers are currently producing the famous 

Ma Baker Easter buns. The secret to their 

popularity and success is that the mixed 

peel has been taken out and dried apricot 

pieces included, and with just the right 

amount of spice added, these buns are a 

winner. 

Ma Baker has two locations – Bishopdale 

Village Mall in Farrington Ave and 

Edgeware Village on the corner of Edgeware 

Road and Colombo Street. Both shops have 

plenty of customer parking just outside the 

door, so customers can quickly pop in and 

pick up their purchases, or alternatively 

can relax at the indoor or outdoor tables 

and enjoy the tasty food along with a hot 

coffee or tea, iced tea, frappe, milkshake or 

smoothie.

New pre-school garden 

unveiled at Selwyn House 

THE NEW pre-school garden at 

Selwyn House School has been 

unveiled by artist and designer 

Jenny Gillies. 

Known for using flowers as 

inspiration for her costume work, 

Ms Gillies brought the pre-school 

garden to life when she arrived 

dressed as a bumble bee. 

Teachers were also dressed 

for the occasion as flowers and 

pupils wore their own handmade 

crowns. 

Ms Gillies’ exhibition 

Enchanted Garden is currently 

showing in the tea kiosk at the 

Botanic Gardens. 

Her work has won multiple 

awards from the Montana World 

of Wearable Arts. 

COLOUR: Selwyn House School teachers Hannah 

Lambarth, Helen Shadbolt, Victoria Knutson, Lynda

Merivale Retirement Village - when only the best is good enough. 

Retirement Village Fundraising For Local Hospice 

Merivale Retirement Village in Browns Road 

has a philosophy of creating an ‘organisational 

social conscience’, and is constantly looking for 

opportunities to give back and to engage with the 

local community, Regional Manager Jon Amesbury 

says. 

“Our directors and staff believe that aged-care 

facilities should strive to become hubs of their local 

communities and provide exciting opportunities 

for residents to be involved with local community 

projects,” Jon says. 

“To achieve this, we connect with local groups 

and organisations, with the aim of creating a more 

inclusive society for everyone.” 

The village has recently demonstrated its commitment 

to being a good neighbour by formally adopting 

MERIVALE 

RETIREMENT VILLAGE 

Nurse Maude Hospice as a charitable fundraising 

cause. 

To kick start the fundraising, Merivale Retirement 

Village has organised an event they hope will 

prompt Christchurch people to give generously to 

the cause. 

The event, on March 19, involves pushing a specially 

adapted hospital bed around the 6K City2Surf route. 

Twelve Merivale Retirement Village nurses and staff 

and five Nurse Maude Hospice staff will push the 

adapted hospital bed as they run the City2Surf, 

collecting money in buckets along the way. 

The bed was adapted and donated by InvaCareNZ 

andhas had some custom decoration courtesy of 

the children of the Angelcare Preschool in Somme 

Street with their own artwork and designs. 

Staff from Merivale Retirement Village 

and Nurse Maude Hospice will be 

pushing a bed to raise funds in the 

upcoming City2Surf.

St Andrew’s rowers defend Bell Cup 

• By Gordon Findlater 

ST ANDREW’S College retained 

the Bell Cup for the most overall 

points at the South Island 

secondary school championships 

on Twizel’s Lake Ruataniwha. 

The winter-like conditions 

over the weekend didn’t slow 

down St Andrew’s, who 

came home with eight gold, 

three silver and a bronze 

medal. 

All of St Andrew’s gold medals 

came in the boys’ events. 

They won the under-15 coxed 

octuple sculls, under-15 coxed 

four, under-16 coxed eight, 

under-18 coxed four, under-15 

coxed eight, under-16 coxed 

four and under-18 coxless pair 

oars. 

They also took out the much 

anticipated boys’ under-18 

coxed eight in dominant 

fashion. St Andrew’s powered 

to gold more than six seconds 

clear of defending Maadi Cup 

champions Christ’s College in 

second, and Christchurch Boys’ 

High School in third. 

Even more remarkable was 

that the St Andrew’s crew broke 

the six-minute mark with a time 

of 5min 58.29sec. 

If the boys’ race was clear cut, 

the girls’ under-18 coxed eight 

was quite the opposite. 

Just over one second was all 

that separated gold from bronze. 

Gold went to Rangi Ruru Girls’ 

School with a time of 6min 

51.08sec, with Christchurch 

Girls’ High School just a bow ball 

behind in 6min 51.52sec, and St 

Margaret’s College taking bronze 

with 7min 0.93sec. 

Rangi Ruru had the second 

largest medal haul at the 

weekend – the most of any girls’ 

school – winning eight gold, one 

silver and two bronze medals. 

Rangi Ruru director of rowing 

Mark Cotham said these were 

very pleasing results in the 

build up to the Maadi Cup, 

but there’s still a lot of water to 

go under the bridge and the 

girls will continue training 

hard over the next couple of 

weeks. 

“This is a helpful check-up for 

us all as we look ahead to Maadi, 

but it is business as usual until 

then,” said Cotham. 

Schools will now turn their 

attention to the Maadi Cup, 

which takes place from March 27 

to April 2.

Burnside win Mainland title, 

aim to spike at nationals 


BURNSIDE HIGH School have 

continued their winning ways as 

they build towards three straight 

national volleyball crowns. 

The Burnside girls’ team took 

out the Mainland secondary 

schools’ division 1 title last week 

after defeating Marlborough 

Girls’ College 3-0 in the final. 

They will now play to gain a 

spot in the top 32 at the New 

Zealand secondary schools’ 

championships at the end of the 

month in Palmerston North 

with a top-three finish at this 

weekend’s Canterbury championships. 

Burnside will be back at full 

strength for the championships 

after being without coach Sam 

Ryburn and key players, Chloe 

Mikaera and Libby Collett, who 

have been with the New Zealand 

team at the under-18 Asian girls’ 

volleyball championship in 

China. 

Meanwhile, the division 2 

girls’ title at last week’s Mainland 

tournament went to Rangi Ruru 

Girls’ School who beat Waimea B 

3-0 in their final. 

Rangi Ruru volleyball convenor 

Paula Rule said finishing 

top of the pool going into the 

semi-final against Lincoln High 

School was a great confidence 

boost for the team. 

DOMINANT: There was no 

slowing down an 

under-strength Burnside 

girls’ volleyball team (above), 

who went undefeated at the 

Mainland championships. 

Meanwhile, Rangi Ruru 

claimed the division 2 title at 

the championships. 

“It was a huge weekend for the 

girls and a great opportunity to 

build strong combinations leading 

into nationals,” Ms Rule said. 

The division 1 boys’ title was 

won by Shirley Boys’ High 

School and the division 2 title by 

John McGlashan College. 

The Canterbury championships 

will take place at the Pioneer 

Recreation and Sport Centre 

from Friday to Sunday. 

SPORTS 


TRIUMPHANT: St 

Margaret’s College 

student Amelia Persson 

won last week’s South 

Island secondary schools’ 

senior girls’ triathlon title in 

Oamaru. Persson finished 

the 750m swim, 20km 

cycle and 5km run in a 

time of 1hr 7min 41sec, 

nearly two minutes clear 

of her nearest rival. Other 

locals to taste success in 

Oamaru included Tayla 

Hackett from Rangi Ruru 

Girls’ School, who won 

the intermediate girls’ 

title, and Pixie Cockerill 

from Christchurch Girls’ 

High School, who won 

the junior girls’ title. In the 

duathlon, CGHS won the 

intermediate teams’ event, 

while Annika Levestam 

from Cashmere High 

School won the senior 

girls’ title. The national 

secondary school triathlon 

championships will be 

held in Wanganui from 

March 30-31.

RYMAN HEALTHCARE 

The best of care at 

every life stage 

When residents move into Ryman 

Healthcare’s Ngaio Marsh Retirement 

Village in Papanui, they and their families 

can be confident that all their needs will be 

met, no matter what their stage of life or 

state of health. 

The village offers a range of facilities from 

townhouses for independent residents, to 

assisted living in serviced apartments for 

those who require some assistance day-today, 

through to the care centre’s resthome 

and hospital care – all located in the same 

lovely environment. 

“What we provide is a full continuum of 

care,” says village manager Anna Thomson. 

“As our residents’ needs change they get 

the care they require, while still retaining 

their friendships with other residents and 

relationships with the staff they know. 

That’s a huge advantage for them. It’s really 

their ‘Ngaio family’. We become part of 

their family and Ngaio is their home,” says 

Anna. 

“This continuum of care also gives their 

families peace of mind knowing they 

don’t have to be concerned about finding 

somewhere else for their loved one should 

their health needs change.” 

Ngaio Marsh also provides respite care, 

so families who are caring for a relative 

at home can go on holiday, or just have a 

break, confident that their loved one is in 

good hands. 

“This also gives people the chance to try 

out village life,” Anna says. “Often they will 

like it so much they decide to move in, and 

if they do they can have the same room 

they stayed in during respite care.” 

Employing quality staff is a key factor 

at Ngaio Marsh, with all staff members 

required to undertake a foundation course 

in aged care, which includes the different 

levels of care provided. 

Ngaio Marsh is set in beautiful, wellmaintained 

grounds featuring rose gardens 

and other colourful plantings, a stream 

and walkways. Facilities include a bowling 

green, indoor bowls, pool table, petanque, 

mini golf, a community centre, library, hair 

salon, swimming pool and a spa pool. 

The stunning atrium, with its waterfall 

and lush foliage, is a popular spot for 

families to get together for birthday parties 

and other special occasions. 

With quality nutrition being a key aspect 

of a happy, healthy life for residents, Ryman 

has introduced the innovative Project 

Delicious. This provides more meal options 

and a menu offering good old-fashioned 

home-cooked meals, as well as some exotic 

new creations. 

Ryman’s Triple A exercise programme 

provides exercises designed to maintain 

mobility and muscle strength, and prevent 

falls. Programmes are tailored for residents’ 

differing levels of health and mobility, and 

include exercises for resthome and hospital 

residents. 

To ensure residents are kept stimulated 

and entertained, the Engage programme 

provides daily activities and special events. 

A recent event that proved a great success 

at Ngaio Marsh was the ‘Olympic Games’. 

Residents of four Ryman Healthcare 

villages competed against each other in a 

range of sports, with medals handed out to 

the winners and place-getters. 

“We see our residents thriving,” says 

Anna. “Many of them say coming here 

was the best thing they have ever done. It 

also helps family relationships. With sons 

and daughters no longer having to be the 

caregivers they can have fun with their 

parent and enjoy seeing them happy and 

well looked after.” 

Resthome resident Daniel Morel recently 

came to Ngaio Marsh so he could be in 

the same residence as his wife Shirley. The 

couple had moved up from Timaru a few 

years ago, but his wife became seriously ill 

and needed care. Daniel stayed on his own 

at home for a while, but realised he wasn’t 

really managing so moved into a resthome 

elsewhere in Christchurch. 

Now happily living at Ngaio Marsh, 

where Shirley receives the hospital care she 

needs, Daniel, 77, is settled and enjoying 

life. First thing every morning he dons his 

dressing gown and goes to visit Shirley. The 

rest of his day is spent chatting to other 

residents, reading and relaxing in his room. 

“I love it here,” he says, “for every 

reason you could think of. The new menu 

is absolutely fantastic and the staff are 

wonderful. They are always smiling. They 

must be well chosen.” 

Daniel Morel enjoys life at Ngaio Marsh 

and the company of the other residents. 

Another happy resthome resident is 

Betty Loader, who turned 90 on January 

31. She has been at Ngaio Marsh for many 

years, first moving into a townhouse with 

her husband, later moving to a serviced 

apartment as her needs changed, then the 

resthome, where she now receives hospital 

care. 

Her daughter Kay Parry visits her every 

Kay Parry with her mother Betty Loader. 

Kay is thrilled with the care her mother 

receives at Ngaio Marsh. 

day, often at mealtimes. Kay is thrilled 

with every aspect of the care her mother 

receives. 

“I’ve learnt a lot over the last few years,” 

she says. “Mum has gone through some 

dramatic health changes and for a while 

she was bedridden for days. She went from 

resthome to hospital care, but stayed in the 

same room, which was wonderful.” 

Retirement living and care 

at its best!

RED CROSS 

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, 

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.

Creating a Better 

Denture Experience 

When was the last time you 

had your dentures checked? 

Call us today for your FREE 

check today. 

At Better Denture, the denture clinic 

situated in Brynley Street, Hornby, the aim 

is to take the hassle out of getting new teeth, 

says experienced dental technician and 

owner Chris Castle. 

“We focus on making it easier for people 

coming here to have dentures made or 

maintained with our relaxed environment 

and friendly approach.” 

Chris understands that people can be a bit 

nervous about coming into a dental clinic, 

but he makes sure everyone feels welcome 

and comfortable at Better Denture by 

breaking down those barriers and putting 

them at ease. 

The process of having new dentures made 

and fitted usually takes four appointments, 

and Chris explains the process step by step 

so patients understand what’s being done, 

further complete after care is provided at no 

additional cost. 

“Every set of dentures is made to onsite 

by hand, using higher grade materials as 

standard, allowing us the ability to customise 

every aspect of the process. We also aim to 

cater toward the upkeep of existing dentures, 

with same day repairs and relines on offer, 

as well as being available on Saturdays, 

allowing us to work around even the busiest 

schedules,” he says. 

“Our aim at Better Denture is to create 

the best possible denture experience for 

you, the customer, whether it be through 

the products we custom create, the service 

we provide or the manner in which strive to 

achieve both of those goals.” 

Anyone needing new dentures is invited 

to contact Better Denture, phone 349 5050, 

for a free consultation. The clinic is spacious 

and welcoming, and patients are invited to 

bring someone with them for support at any 

appointment if they wish. 

Located at 6 Brynley Street Hornby, 

Better Denture is open Monday to Friday, 

9am-5pm and Saturday, 10am-12pm. 

Off-street parking and wheelchair access 

available.

and the 

friendly team 

at Better

check.
