HOME: Kyleigh Lyth (centre) meets the student boarders.<br />

Director of boarding hopes<br />

to inspire Rangi students<br />

RANGI RURU Girls’ School’s<br />

new director of boarding was so<br />

inspired by her time as a boarder,<br />

she made it her career.<br />

Kyleigh Lyth used to board at<br />

Southland Girls’ High School.<br />

As director at Rangi Ruru,<br />

Mrs Lyth, her husband and their<br />

three teenage children<br />

also live on the school<br />

grounds.<br />

Mrs Lyth said what she<br />

remembers most about boarding<br />

school was the kindness and<br />

learning the life skills that made<br />

her who she is today.<br />

“When these girls have<br />

long left school, things like<br />

who they are, their sense of<br />

identity, how they deal with<br />

relationships – it’s here they<br />

learn and practice those really<br />

important parts of growing up,”<br />

she said.<br />

Fairleigh Kindergarten pupils Millie Waddel and Oscar Apperley had a visit from St John<br />

officer Lu Scarf. She held an informative chat with the children and walked them through<br />

how the ambulance service works. •More schools, page 10<br />

Pupils from Japan’s Yuri Gakuin Elementary School visited<br />

Fendalton Open Air School recently. The two schools<br />

have developed a friendship over the past few years and<br />

the Japanese pupils immersed themselves in the Kiwi<br />

experience. They were formally welcomed with a school<br />

mihi whakatau and went on to experience much of what<br />

Christchurch has to offer. The 12 girls and three teachers<br />

spent time in the classroom and were shown around by<br />

Fendalton pupils.<br />
