Vietnam vets pay homage to fallen mates
• By Julia Evans
ALMOST FIVE decades ago
Eddie Bassett and Brian Mannix
were fighting in the jungles of
Vietnam.
It was a conflict that claimed
39 New Zealanders, many of
them their mates.
These days, the two Vietnam
veterans catch up at the Papanui
RSA for a beer and talk about
old times.
On Anzac Day, Mr Mannix
and Mr Bassett will proudly
walk among surviving servicemen
and women from other
conflicts.
“On Anzac Day, I think of my
grandparents. Both of my grandads
were in World War 1 and I
had uncles in World War 2. We
think of all the guys, not just the
old guys . . . even today’s wars,”
Mr Mannix said.
He now attends Anazc Day
services with his grandchildren.
Mr Bassett said it’s a very important
day which all veterans
look forward to. He said it’s a
day to reflect on where his mates
are.
“All the guys get together, it’s

about the only time we do,” he
said.
They joke over a beer about
how much faster modern artillery
is.
Mr Mannix was in the 161
Battery Artillery in Vietnam
from 1969 to 1970.
“The infantry walked everywhere.
Well, we had more brains
and went on the back of a truck,”
he said. He can’t help giving fellow
vets a bit of stick.
Mr Bassett was part of the
Victor 1 Company Infantry.
He saw fights in Malaya and

Borneo from 1965 before heading
over to Vietnam two years
later.
In May, Mr Bassett will have a
reunion with the rest of his company,
but he said out of nearly
200 soldiers, there are now only
60 left.
Now their generation is “getting
on,” Mr Bassett said the
RSA is looking to give more of a
voice to the younger generation
moving in.
He’d love to see them taking
a role in the future – “we’re all
veterans,” he said.

for third
lane
decision
• By Julia Evans
THE PLAN for a controversial
third lane on the Waimakariri
Bridge will go to the New Zealand
Transport Agency for approval in
June.
It will then go out for public
consultation, and the Papanui-
Innes Community Board said it
will make its voice heard again.
On April 7, the greater
Christchurch urban development
strategy implementation
committee approved the lane on
the condition that it was for high
occupancy vehicles only.
Board chairwoman Ali Jones
and deputy chairwoman Emma
Norrish made a deputation opposing
the lane for fear it will add
significant congestion.
But Ms Norrish said the fact it
would only be for high-occupancy
vehicles has lightened the blow.
“It’s making the best of a bad
situation,” she said.
However, the board is still
concerned about the predicted
increase in traffic.
“Any extra traffic that is coming
in from the north, and is
going into the CBD, has to go to
through the St Albans area,” Ms
Norrish said.

THERE’S NOTHING like sharing
a few tales over a beer with your
mates, and there’ll be plenty of
that next Tuesday – Anzac Day.
On page 1 today, reporter Julia
Evans catches up with two Vietnam
War veterans, mates from
that entrenched conflict who share
a beer regularly at the Papanui
RSA.
All wars are bad and the outcome
is usually grim.
Fighting in Vietnam would have
been hell; similar to the Pacific
during World War 2 where the
enemy could be literally an arms
length away hiding in the jungle,
ready to strike.
There was the heat, torrential
rain, hand-to-hand fighting to the
death, and taking fire at very short
range.
So think of the servicemen and
women on Anzac Day.
They certainly deserve a beer.

Sex worker dispute could go to court
• By Andrew King
THE DISPUTE over sex
workers being able to solicit in a
residential area could be tested
in the courts, a Christchurch
lawyer said.
St Albans resident Matt Bonis,
along with solicitor and Labour
candidate for Christchurch Central
Duncan Webb presented
a slide show to the city council
detailing the rubbish, abuse,
complaints and threats they have
received.
Mr Webb said
the dispute lies
in the definition
of “commercial
activity” set out
in the city council
Duncan
Webb
Helen
Beaumont
public places
bylaw.
City council
head of strategic
policy Helen
Beaumont said sex
workers do not
use the billboards
and banners that
are typical of
other business
enterprises.
“The mere presence of a
person on a street corner, even
if the manner of their attire and
behaviour suggest that they may
be working, is insufficient evidence
that a commercial activity
HAD ENOUGH: City council head of strategic policy Helen Beaumont said sex workers do
not use the billboards and banners that are typical of other business enterprises so it is hard
to prove it is a commercial activity.
is being advertised or carried
out,” she said.
But Mr Webb said they have
got the definition “wrong” and
the city council could enforce
the bylaw.
He said if it comes down to
residents saying it is commercial
activity, and the city council says
it isn’t, then it will have to be
tested in the courts.
Mr Bonis said he has “no
problem” paying for Mr Webb’s
time to take it to court, or work
with city council staff to find a
solution within the bylaw.
“I’m hopeful the city
councillors, on an individual
level, will take a commonsense
approach to this problem,” he
said.
A report is due on May 4
detailing if a new clause in the
public places bylaw is needed or
if section 13 of the current bylaw
can be effectively enforced.
Section 13 states: The city
council may declare from time
to time, that any public place, or
specified part of a public place:
a) Has been set aside for special
use or activity; or b) cannot
be used for a particular use or
activity.
Ms Beaumont said the
city council is looking at
using section 13 to solve the
sex worker problem in the
residential area.
“The city council has obtained
legal advice on the ability to
enforce this policy in relation
to sex workers but there
are significant enforcement
difficulties,” she said.
In Brief
COMMUNITY WORKER
The Bishopdale Community
Trust has recently undergone
a staff restructure. A new
community development
worker, Chris Coles, has been
appointed. Mr Coles has a
long history of working in the
community sector, including
in the United Kingdom with
ex-prisoners and people with
mental health issues.
SATELLITE SCHOOL
When Shirley Boys’ High School
and Avonside Girls’ High School
merge campuses at the QE II
site, Ferndale School will join
them. A smaller satellite version
of the Merivale-based special
education school will be set up
on the campus set to open in
2019.

PLACARD: Murray Turley protested roadworks that are narrowing the entrance
to Grassmere St from Main North Rd.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
Phil Day responds to
the story in Nor’West
News regarding
Murray Turley’s
protest over work
narrowing Grassmere
St and Main North Rd
for fear of creating a
traffic nightmare
A road from Grassmere
St to Rutland St would help
get traffic off Main North
Rd and out of Northlands.
Mothers complained
that traffic would endanger
their kids at Paparoa St
School, yet they persist
in getting their kids out
of cars on the road rather
than pedestrian side.
I saw the paint marks
on the ground at Grassmere
St and Main North
Rd corner and couldn’t
believe how narrow the
council intended to make
the road.
The paint lines are now
concrete and I predict
mayhem as I sometimes
need to drive a bus to and
from Ngaio Marsh.
With the new cycleway
running between car
parking and pavement, I
also envisage cyclists being
knocked off by passengers
opening their doors
while exiting cars as the
passenger, unlike drivers,
have no rear vision mirrors
to see cyclists coming
from behind on the
cycleway.
Why wasn’t the pathway
behind Tulloch Pl not
extended all the way past
Ngaio Marsh to Paparoa St
School and Rutland St?

CBHS look to continue winning run in pre-season
• By Andrew King
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High’s
first XV will have a pre-season
hit-out against Southland Boys’
High School tomorrow as they
look towards defending their UC
Championship title.
The last time the two teams
met was when Southland
knocked CBHS out of the top
eight competition last year, 41-20.
CBHS rugby co-ordinator and
assistant coach Rob Smith said it
will be “quite nice to play them
again.”
The team is still in its
development stages, with a
30-man squad picked to play
Southland and compete in
Hamilton on Friday in the St
Paul’s Collegiate School rugby
festival.

CBHS will open their account
against Waimea Combined in the

Smith said some of the key
players to watch this year will
be hooker Adam Reid, halfback
Louie Chapman, fullback Ryan

The CBHS players will be fired

Club skipper wins St Albans
cricketer of the year award
• By Andrew King
SOLID SEASON: Clem Gibbens was named St Albans player
CLUB CAPTAIN Clem Gibbens
has been named St Albans
player of the year.
Gibbens, 27, was the third
highest wicket taker in the club
with 44 wickets at 11.11, scored
318 runs at 15.90 and skippered
the victorious 2A Sabres twoday
side.
He was also named his team’s
player of the year, best morning
grade men’s all-rounder and
won the award for most runs
off a single over by a batsman,
smashing 22 against Riccarton
on December 17.
“I’m not the kind of guy to
sing my own praises; I did what
I needed to do for the team,”
Gibbens said.
“There has been some really
good cricketers who have taken
the award before me and to be
included with those guys and
girls is quite humbling.”
His 22 off one over, he said
came at a time when his side
were batting to save the game.
“I thought I’d try accelerate
things and I got the right deliveries
. . . the guy down the other
end did tell me to calm down at
one point,” he said.
His brother, Reid Gibbens
picked up awards as well, including
the Zin Harris Memori-
of the year.
al Trophy for young male player
of the year, the Don Sandman
Memorial Cup for most wickets
in the club with 47 at 13.02, and
had the best individual bowling
figures with 7-3 against Lancaster
Park on March 4.
Clem described his brother’s
feat against Lancaster as a “season
defining” spell.
“I was bowling at the other
end and couldn’t get a wicket at
all,” he said.
“It swung the [2A] competition
in our favour. [Lancaster]
were ahead of us and a loss to
them would have sealed our fate
to not win the title.”

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Time Honoured
Remedy
1 in 2 People
Deficient in B12
According to a country Doctor “D.C. Jarvis”
from Vermont in the USA cider vinegar and
honey (CV & H) can be an important part of
a long healthy life. Dr. Jarvis noted Vermonters
who regularly consumed cider vinegar and
honey had excellent health with many putting
in a vigorous day’s work on the farm even
when well into their eighties.
Dr. Jarvis found the effects of cider vinegar
and honey on arthritis can be remarkable
with many patients reporting almost total
relief after taking a course of the cider vinegar
and honey. Dr. Jarvis surmised that the acid
and potassium in cider vinegar counteracted
calcium deposits and helped the body control
calcium use.
As well as a general tonic Dr. Jarvis found
regular administration of cider vinegar and
honey at the onset of complaints such
as the common cold, sinusitis,
asthmatic attacks, hay fever,
and childhood diseases
such as chicken pox
and measles, was
accompanied by
an improvement
in the condition
with symptoms
either disappearing,
or the conditions were
extremely mild and soon
over.
Apple cider vinegar contains all the goodness
of the apple in a form that is readily accepted
by the body. Scientists have found over 90
different substances in ACV, among them 20
important trace elements, minerals, essential
enzymes, a number of different acids including
malic acid, amino acids and roughage in the
form of potash and pectin. A scientific study
at the Shizuka University in Japan has proven
ACV to have potent antioxidant benefits (It can
destroy free radicals, which are a major factor
in ageing.) and also the ACV can break down
cholesterol formations in the blood vessels.
ACV and H is a powerful tonic that also
promotes digestion, assimilation of nutrients
and elimination of waste, and helps neutralize
any toxic substances that enter the body.
It is important to note not all cider vinegar
is made in the traditional way and results are
likely to prove disappointing with these other
vinegars.

Emerging research has shown as
many as 50% of older adults and as
many as 25% of younger adults are
deficient in vitamin B12. Scientists at
Rush University Medical Center found
those most deficient in vitamin B12 to
have the smallest brain mass and the
lowest scores on tests measuring shortterm
memory, concentration and brain
performance. Another study showed
that older people with higher levels of
B12 in their blood have bigger, healthier
brains and score higher on cognitive
tests than those with lower levels. Yet
another recent landmark study showed
that B12 supplementation slows the
accelerated rate of brain shrinkage and
declining cognitive function. B12 is essential
for energy production, cell health, regulation of
mood and sleep cycles, nerve health and repair,
and prevention of homocysteine a serious
cardiovascular risk factor that is known to
cause damage and plaque in the blood vessels.
It can also increase the chances of a stroke.
Harvard researchers found a 34% decrease risk
of vision loss in a study of participants aged
40+ who supplemented with B12. Another
study linked a higher risk of hearing loss in
subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.
The reason so many people lack B12 appears
to be our body’s ability to absorb it declining
with age as the digestive system becomes less
efficient. Anti-reflux medication and other
drugs further reduce B12 absorption. The good
news is B12 in the form of Methylcobalamin
sublingual tablets that are dissolved in the
mouth and thru bypassing the digestive tract
have been shown to effectively raise B12 levels
in the body.

DIFFICULTY SLEEPING, PINS & NEEDLES, NUMBNESS IN LEGS
Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12.
Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain
shrinkage & support memory & brain function. B12 is also known to protect against
homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that can also damage the hearing,
eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential for energy, cell health & nerve function.

providing you with a comfortable, extended
swimming season.
Servicing your heat pump is extremely
important to ensure that it is working as
effectively and efficiently as possible resulting
in a healthy, hygienic heat pump, lower power

all cleaning companies are equal. We are
constantly hearing of people being charged
huge amounts for servicing and all they are

heat pump. Also, as we are associated with all
major brands, we are able to repair these under
warranty if they are still within the warranty
period.
It is important to remember, when selecting
an installer, the manufacturer’s warranty does
not cover the installation and consumers could
be responsible for any repair or damage caused
to the system due to poor installation. Enviro
Master’s five-star installation guarantee ensures
correct installation, and a demonstration so
customers have an understanding on how it
will best meet their needs.

ventilation over opening windows, including
warmth, security, reduction of outside noises
and reduction of condensation.
Traditional domestic ventilation systems
are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from
outside via the roof space and force the stale air
out through gaps around windows and doors.
The incoming air from these
systems has to be heated or
cooled to keep the house warm
in winter or cool in summer.
The Smooth-Air HEX390 is
a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It
extracts air from the house and
at the same time brings in fresh
air. These two streams of air
pass through a heat exchanger,
which warms incoming air in
winter and cools in summer if
air conditioning is being used.
This means that up to 80% of
the energy which would be
Balanced
Pressure
Ventilation
wasted using a traditional positive pressure
system is recovered, resulting in significant
energy savings and therefore lower heating or
cooling costs.
Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation
systems have been considerably more
expensive than traditional positive pressure
systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique
manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390
balanced pressure system can be installed for
a similar price as a traditional positive pressure
system.

HEALTH & BEAUTY
Accupuncture
without needles
NOR’WEST NEWS
SpeciAl offer - free firSt treAtment
Book by may 19
For those seeking relief from pain caused by injury, and other
physical and mental health issues, Chinese health practitioner
Dr Lan Xiao offers a method of treatment that brings fast, and
often immediate results.
A graduate of Beijing Medical College, Dr Lan
established an acupuncture clinic in Christchurch
in 1993. As she continued her research and medical
practice, she discovered a reflexology network on
the human body, an exciting new discovery that
became the foundation of her new treatment –
acupuncture without needles.
Instead of needles, Dr Lan uses a blunt
instrument to stimulate the reflexology points
on the face or other parts of the body. When the
point is stimulated by pressure, a message is sent
to the repair centre to promote healing. As Dr Lan
explains, the treatment increases energy, which
boosts the body’s healing system.
The body will heal injuries naturally, she says, but
that is a slow process. In addition, many people will
start to use their injured part, for example a knee
or an ankle, before it is properly healed, therefore
prolonging the injury and even causing chronic
pain.
With her powerful treatment, results are
produced very quickly – even instantly.
She likens it to the differences between the
power of a car – natural healing, of an aeroplane
– other types of natural healing, and of a rocket –
reflexology network.
It brings fast results because it is a very precise
treatment, Dr Lan says. She uses it to treat people
of all ages with many different types of pain in all
parts of the body, including arthritic pain, MS,
and pain from injury, and there are no side-effects.
Depression and anxiety, often the result of ongoing
low energy, can also be overcome with Dr Lan’s
treatment.
For people that have gained weight due to their
addiction to sugar, reflexology network treats the
cause of the addiction, enabling them to more easily
control their weight.
Dr Lan has published a book, Dr Lan’s
Reflexology Network, which introduces the
treatment and explains how it works. Her website,
www.drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, includes
treatment videos, where people who have had the
treatment speak about the fast relief it has brought
them.
Dr Lan is offering a free first treatment for all
those who make an appointment by Friday, May
19. Phone 323 4168, mobile 027 231 8388.

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS
The ultimate campus for
Avonside and Shirley
A large Performing Arts Centre, three full-sized
Gyms (complete with climbing wall) and four
Sportsfields are among the key facilities that will be
enjoyed by Avonside Girls’ High School and Shirley
Boys’ High School in the future.
The two schools are being rebuilt alongside
one another and next to the new QEII Sport and
Recreation Centre. They will open in time for Term
Two of 2019 so students who enrol to study at the
schools next year, will only spend just over a year on
the schools’ existing sites.
The new campus’ design was created by New
Zealand’s ASC Architects – part of the ShapED
consortium that is building and will also maintain
the new schools.
Avonside Girls’ Principal Sue Hume says being
able to start from scratch has enabled ASC to come
up with the ‘ultimate campus’.
“We are delighted. The new campus will feature
better facilities than either of our schools have ever
had in the past.”
Shirley Boys’ Headmaster John Laurenson agrees,
describing the design as modern and sympathetic
to the surrounding area.
“The two schools will be set back from Travis
Road with numerous trees and landscaped areas. It
will be a very green campus,” says John Laurenson.
As well as the major facilities, each school will
have a long list of specialist learning facilities.
Highlights include an Electronics Lab, a 2D and
3D Printing Room, six Science Labs and an Indoor
Fitness Centre (complete with exercise equipment
including rowing machines, stationery bikes and
treadmills).
Sue Hume says the design enables the schools to
offer students completely new experiences.
“The facilities are just so much better than what
we have now. For example, in each school’s Social
Sciences and Media there is a large Editing Suite,
Presentation Space, two Recording Studios and a
Media Studio. It’s a big step up,” says Sue Hume.
John Laurenson says the schools will continue to
deliver quality single sex education.
“Students will spend most of their day in a singlesex
environment – that is really important to us.
Single sex education benefits both boys and girls.
Our students will also benefit, both educationally
and socially, from being able to learn alongside and
mix with students from the partner school. It is a
fantastic opportunity.”
Two of the gyms on the campus will feature a climbing wall and be able
to be linked for major events. The schools will also share a third gym
The schools will have numerous outdoor areas that will be
landscaped to enable students and teachers to work outside.
The front of the campus will face Travis Road but be set behind a large landcaped courtyard and plantings.

of our College. Student wellbeing is
important to us, as is a strong partnership
between school and family. Marian College
has a friendly atmosphere, which comes
from staff and students knowing each other
well.
Marian’s academic results are exceptional
and we are dedicated to creating a positive
learning environment which uses the
best of modern teaching practices and
information technologies; we also have high
expectations. Our students learn to become
independent, resilient and adaptable young
women, well prepared with skills for the
future. Every student at Marian College
is nurtured and her skills and talents are
developed.
Hornby
High
School
When choosing the right school for
our tamariki we often go by the ‘feeling’
we have when we visit as much as by the
programmes that schools have on offer.
Hornby High School’s feeling is one of
positive relationships that support learning.
In 2016 we reconsidered our vision as a
school, and resolved that our aspiration
is to be ‘A centre of creative excellence’
in everything that we do, whether visual
arts or chemistry, volleyball or music,
management or curriculum organisation.
The world demands fewer people who can
do repetitive tasks and more people who
can think creatively and critically. In doing
this we haven’t forgotten the importance of
the strong relationships that we build with
all of our students, and the importance of
individualising learning pathways so that
we come as close as we can to meeting
every individual student’s needs. We are
also committed to engaging with whanau
in any and every way we can, this all taking
place as we almost completely rebuild the
physical school. I personally invite you to
come along and meet with our skilled staff,
and the amazing young people who make
Hornby High School such a wonderful
place to be.
Hagley sets
you up for
life
If you are looking for
a high school where
teachers work closely
with you to ensure you
get the very best out of
your high school years,
then Hagley’s Junior
Graduating College is the
right choice for you.
We are often asked,
what makes Hagley different? We have
a culture like no other. No-one wears a
uniform and everyone is on a first name
basis, but that is just for starters. Students
come to Hagley because they’re treated
with respect and valued as individuals.
Hagley’s Junior Graduating College
has small classes and we take a personal
approach. It is all about what we can do
to help you. Classes are fun, focused and
inspire you to be the very best you can.
What does that mean for you? You feel
that your teachers are interested in you
and care about your learning, that you are
experiencing success – and much more.
We love our students aiming high and
doing well. Students graduate into Hagley’s
large Senior College where they succeed
academically and in many other ways, as
well as become our school leaders. This is
all built on the great foundations laid in our
Junior College.
Hagley’s Junior Graduating College
combines the best of both worlds: freedom
to be yourself and enjoy school in a
structured and supportive environment
where achievement is celebrated.
Experience the Hagley difference – it will
set you up for life!

Formation is at the heart of the education
Middleton Grange School provides – a
whole of life formation. We see learning
as holistic; it aims to instruct the mind,
shape the heart and equip the hand. The
root of formation is faith and so Middleton
Grange not only provides a first rate general
education but also biblically based teaching
in the Christian faith.
Formation of the mind is not primarily
intellectual contemplation or conceptual
mastery but a learning that nurtures
wisdom and discernment. It is a learning
that challenges the mind to think, discern
and critique the ideas and theories pupils
are exposed to from a Christian perspective.
Middleton Grange’s learning culture allows
the formation of the heart so that it shapes
Christian Integrated
Schools
Working together for the good of
students and families has been a successful
recipe for Christian Integrated Schools in
Christchurch.
The Christian School Network has been
in existence for over ten years. Aidanfield
Christian School, Emmanuel Christian
School, Hillview Christian School and
Middleton Grange School decided in
2005 that there was much to be gained
by working together cooperatively.
They recognised opportunities to share
successful teaching practice, curriculum
development initiatives across a wide
spectrum of school operations as well as
cooperatively strengthening their special
the character of each pupil to develop
habits of righteousness, compassion and
integrity. This formation of the mind and
heart generates responsiveness. We want
our pupils to engage in the society they
live in, to be of benefit and blessing in a
practical way.
For Middleton Grange School, while our
academic results are of the highest level,
what is highly prized, is that our pupils
exercise wisdom, serve the community
and promote the well-being of others. It is
about forming the pupil to be the person
God created them to be.
All of this is summed up in the school
motto: Character, Excellence, Service for
the Glory of God.
Christian Character. They recognised that
their ability to serve students and families
was greatly enhanced by working together
in a close and trusting relationship.
The success of the network has seen other
schools wanting to join in. Early in the piece
Rangiora New Life School became part of
the network. The schools joined together to
support the genesis of Ashburton Christian
School and also culminated in the start up
of a brand new school in Rolleston in 2015.
The schools have developed interlocking
enrolment schools which assists in
providing transparent pathways in
Christian education from new entrant
through to Year 13.
A further strength has been a cooperative
engagement with the Ministry of Education
who have been pivotal in assisting the
networks successful development.

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS
Educating
boys with boys We
Medbury School is the only independent
boys’ school in Christchurch, offering an
education for both dayboys and boarders
from Years 1 to 8. Medbury offers a
traditional education, encompassing the
Medbury values of manners and respect,
and their vision is to provide an education
which prepares boys for life in the 21st
Century.
Whilst placing a high value on
Literacy and Numeracy in a ‘boysonly’
learning environment, Medbury
also believes in helping boys develop as
confident individuals, and developing
personal attributes, such as organisation,
confidence, relationships with others, and
independence.
At Medbury, the focus
is on the ‘whole boy’, and
small class sizes enable
teachers to deliver a
personalised learning
programme, ensuring
that every boy has the
support, extension
and encouragement he
needs to discover and
develop his particular
strengths. The learning
programmes are all
focused on a boy’s way
of learning, providing
them with a structured
environment, with competition, boundaries
and an opportunity to succeed.
Medbury’s Headmaster, Peter Kay, states
“Our passion at Medbury is to unlock the
potential of every boy. It is why we exist –
to understand each boy’s opportunities and
challenges, then personalise an education
which encourages him to strive to be the
very best he can be. Friendships, values
and a quiet self-confidence that comes
with sound preparation, will provide
an invaluable foundation for the boys’
educational journeys ahead.”

Papanui High School
- preparing students for their future
“Our aim is simple... to provide the best education possible for every student”
are making a difference for our
students and they are doing incredibly well.
The school has worked hard to consolidate
recent initiatives to ensure sustained and
continuous improvement.
Giving students the opportunity to study
from an innovative and broad curriculum is
critical to providing each student a pathway
that meets their individual needs. We allow
for a greater range and flexibility in subject
choice including the utilization of the
secondary/tertiary interface. This reinforces
the philosophy underpinning personalised
learning and is strongly supported by
understanding our students’ interests,
passions, talents, and ultimately their career
aspirations.
All that we do here is reinforced by
positive relationships, an ethos of caring,
cultural responsiveness, inclusion, and
high expectations – what we call “Our Full
service Model”. The school highly values
the connectedness of curricular and cocurricular
learning. We have a philosophical
understanding that the holistic development
of the student is critical to their individual
success.
We understand that for effective learning
to take place, it has to be implemented in such
a way that students will be highly engaged.
The school does this in a ‘forward thinking’
way by creating learning environments that
allow our students to see value in what they
do and achieve. Papanui “PRIDE” is what
we represent and we demonstrate this by
having young adults leave our school as
confident learners who have gained the
appropriate qualifications and social skills
to become valued contributing members of
society.
You are invited to view our website,
school charter, ERO report, and/or contact
the school for more information.
We look forward to welcoming all
prospective students and their families/

FANCY 'a side' of ocean view with your brekkie?
Well it's available on the menu at the Pierview

Located upstairs in the New Brighton Club, the
Pierview Restaurant has always been a popular
destination for dining and private functions.
Offering uninterrupted views of beach, pier and
coastline, the view is a stunning accompaniment to
any occasion.

increase in people enjoying the beach side and to
add to the seaside attraction the Pierview is now

Offering all the expected scrumptious
breakfast/brunch delights, the menu also caters to
children.
Apart from Sunday Brunch the Pierview is open
from 5.30pm Friday to Sunday serving quality, yet
very affordable, a la carte dining.
The last Sunday of the month has turned into a
tradition with the Pierview’s ‘all you can eat’ Buffet.
Priced at just $25 per person, tables fill fast on
buffet nights, so bookings are essential. And on all
the other Sundays, there’s a choice of the regular
dinner menu, blackboard specials, or take
advantage of the great value $25 set three course
Sunday special.
