JIG: St Margaret’s student Annabel Watts made the New Zealand dance company for highland dancing.<br />

Dancer to join national academy<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

A ST MARGARET’S College<br />

student who has been highland<br />

dancing since she was three<br />

has been selected as part of the<br />

national academy.<br />

Annabel Watts, 16, danced<br />

her way into a spot as one of<br />

the youngest members of the<br />

New Zealand Academy of<br />

Highland and National Dancing.<br />

“There are a few younger<br />

people but there are a lot around<br />

30,” she said.<br />

The auditions took place in<br />

the city at the beginning of<br />

April, which Annabel said was<br />

perfect having them “at home.”<br />

Annabel will join the<br />

company for its <strong>2017</strong> and 2018<br />

season.<br />

“I could’ve done it last year<br />

but I decided school was more<br />

important,” she said.<br />

Beginning with workshops<br />

and conferences around the<br />

country, Annabel will also<br />

perform at the Virginia Tattoo<br />

arts festival.<br />

Now she has to focus on practising,<br />

which she does at least<br />

three times a week.<br />

Her love for highland dance<br />

started more than <strong>13</strong> years ago.<br />

“When I was three I liked the<br />

bagpipes so mum sent me down<br />

the road to join dance classes,”<br />

she said.<br />

And she has never looked<br />

back.<br />

Although she did say it was a<br />

bit unusual to love the bagpipes<br />

any time let alone at such a<br />

young age.<br />

Annabel also recently passed<br />

the advanced highland exam,<br />

which is the highest a dancer<br />

can achieve, and is qualified to<br />

teach.<br />

The national academy will<br />

have its first session after the<br />

New Zealand Highland and National<br />

Dancing Championships<br />

in July.<br />

Red light<br />

runners<br />

risk<br />

safety<br />

of pupils<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

RED LIGHT runners are putting<br />

primary school pupils at risk.<br />

Shirley Primary School, the city<br />

council and the police are acting<br />

quickly after fears for pupils safety<br />

when crossing<br />

Shirley Rd.<br />

There is a<br />

signalised<br />

pedestrian crossing<br />

outside the<br />

school but red<br />

Sandra<br />

Jamieson<br />

light runners<br />

have caused serious<br />

concern.<br />

Deputy principal<br />

Sandra Jamieson said it’s only<br />

a matter of time before a pupil is<br />

hurt.<br />

“It’s not a matter of if someone<br />

gets injured. It’s when,” she said.<br />

An urgent meeting was held<br />

between school staff, city council<br />

parking enforcement staff and<br />

traffic engineer Penny Gray,<br />

members and staff from the<br />

Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board, the police and parents last<br />

Wednesday to discuss ways to<br />

improve safety.<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

<strong>News</strong>.......................................3-5<br />

THE WORLD is a rapidly<br />

changing place, and today we<br />

report on new technology at St<br />

George’s.<br />

It’s called 4k. If you’re not sure<br />

what that actually means watch<br />

Hunger Games or Spectre – it’s the<br />

same technology used in those<br />

Hollywood movies.<br />

The technology will be used in<br />

the hospital’s five new operating<br />

theatres.<br />

What the technology does is<br />

produce a resolution four times<br />

as higher than the traditional full<br />

HD, making it possible to zoom<br />

in on the smallest details and<br />

magnify them.<br />

That will allow surgeons to watch<br />

what they are doing live on a screen<br />

during keyhole surgery, and zoom<br />

in as they work to see right into the<br />

individual blood vessels.<br />

4K technology for St George’s<br />

FROM HOLLYWOOD to the<br />

operating theatre – technology<br />

used in blockbuster movies<br />

is now being used to help<br />

Christchurch surgeons during<br />

operations.<br />

The 4k imaging technology<br />

has been incorporated in the five<br />

new operating theatres built as<br />

part of the redevelopment at St<br />

George’s Hospital.<br />

The technology has been<br />

used to film big screen movies,<br />

including the Hunger Games and<br />

Spectre.<br />

It produces a resolution four<br />

times higher than the traditional<br />

Full HD, making it possible to<br />

zoom in on the smallest details<br />

and magnify them.<br />

That will allow surgeons to<br />

watch what they are doing live<br />

on a screen during keyhole surgery,<br />

and zoom in as they work<br />

to see right to the individual<br />

blood vessels.<br />

Hospital chief executive Greg<br />

Brooks said the technology<br />

would directly benefit patients.<br />

“The redevelopment has<br />

provided us with a key<br />

opportunity to invest in worldleading<br />

innovation to provide<br />

our patients with superior care,”<br />

he said.<br />

ADVANCED: One of the new<br />

operating theatres at St<br />

George’s, where the new 4k<br />

technology will make it easier<br />

for surgeons to do keyhole<br />

surgery. The technology now<br />

in use has been used in big<br />

screen movies, including the<br />

Hunger Games.<br />

In Brief<br />

BARBECUE ARRIVES<br />

A barbecue donated by the<br />

Wigram Lions Club has been<br />

delivered to Burnside Park<br />

and is being stored until the<br />

shelter and picnic tables arrive.<br />

City council staff are currently<br />

working through the building<br />

consent required for the shelter,<br />

which is due to arrive in July.<br />

Installation of the barbecue and<br />

shelter will also take place in<br />

July. However, the delivery of the<br />

picnic tables has been delayed.<br />

NEW MEMBERS<br />

THe Elmwood Club has two<br />

new sport clubs using its<br />

community facilities. The<br />

than 100 to the club.<br />

SCHOOL REDEVELOPMENT<br />

Northcote School is to undergo<br />

a building redevelopment, set<br />

to be completed by the end of<br />

2019. The Board of Trustees is<br />

currently working on concept<br />

plans for the new-look school.<br />

Not only will the redevelopment<br />

impact the buildings but it may<br />

McMaster & Heap<br />

Veterinary practice<br />

Air rifle<br />

injury<br />

in A cAt<br />

Chanel, a beautiful 17 month old Birman<br />

arrived home late one Sunday evening with<br />

a profusely bleeding wound on her back.<br />

Her very concerned owners rushed her to<br />

the After hours clinic where she was placed<br />

on oxygen, given intravenous fluids and pain<br />

relief. The xray taken showed Chanel had<br />

been shot with two air rifle pellets – one was<br />

sitting in her abdomen and one in her left<br />

hind leg. She was also slightly anemic due<br />

to blood loss. Miraculously she was still alive.<br />

Chanel was operated on to remove the hind<br />

leg pellet that night but it was felt too risky<br />

to open her up and remove the abdominal<br />

pellet due to ongoing blood<br />

loss. Thankfully the pellets<br />

missed her vital organs and<br />

spine.<br />

Chanel arrived at McMaster<br />

& Heap Vet Practice on<br />

Monday morning in a fairly<br />

critical condition. She was<br />

closely monitored and her<br />

pain medication with a<br />

fentanyl patch provided<br />

her with continuous relief<br />

– being shot would be<br />

quite sore!<br />

Chanel had regular blood<br />

tests in house to check her<br />

vital organs and to be sure<br />

her anemia wasn’t worsening. Unfortunately<br />

she was becoming more anemic. Kirsty<br />

performed an abdominal ultrasound and<br />

took chest xrays to check for free blood<br />

indicating an active bleed. There was also<br />

some concern about potential damage<br />

to her left kidney from the pellet location.<br />

Thankfully through all this her appetite was<br />

great!<br />

Prior to her<br />

second surgery,<br />

it was decided<br />

that Chanel<br />

would benefit<br />

from a blood<br />

transfusion to<br />

help her red<br />

blood cell levels.<br />

She was blood<br />

typed ( Type A)<br />

and found to be<br />

a match for Kirsty’s cat “Wolfie”. Wolfie was<br />

sedated<br />

and<br />

about 60mls of blood was drawn from<br />

him to give to Chanel over a couple of hours.<br />

The donor cat has their red<br />

cell levels checked and must<br />

be Feline Aids (FIV) negative.<br />

The following day Chanel<br />

appeared brighter and<br />

happier. We decided to<br />

wait a further week before<br />

operating to make sure her<br />

blood levels were stable<br />

and that she was producing<br />

good numbers of red cells<br />

on her own. The repeated<br />

ultrasound and xray showed<br />

that thankfully her left<br />

kidney appeared normal<br />

however the bullet had<br />

slightly moved.<br />

Chanel’s surgery proceeded without a<br />

hitch. The bullet was successfully removed<br />

with very little trauma, from just behind<br />

her left kidney. That afternoon she was<br />

rolling around, playing in her cage, able<br />

to be discharged from our hospital. We<br />

continued with pain relief and one week<br />

later Chanel was near normal. This would<br />

have been a completely different story had<br />

her abdominal organs been penetrated or<br />

her spine shattered. Thanks to her owner’s<br />

rapid response, Chanel’s life was saved and<br />

she’s never looked back. Also a bonus that<br />

her dedicated owners have pet insurance.<br />

Lions club celebrates<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

THE CHRISTCHURCH<br />

North Lions Club has<br />

marked a significant<br />

milestone.<br />

At the end of May members<br />

from the club gathered<br />

for a luncheon to celebrate<br />

the 50 th anniversary.<br />

It comes in the same year<br />

as centenary celebrations<br />

for the Lions Club internationally.<br />

Early members from<br />

the 60s and 70s joined the<br />

current members for a<br />

celebratory luncheon.<br />

“It was a great day, there<br />

were at least 65 people<br />

there,” club president<br />

Bruce Greenaway said.<br />

It was good seeing former<br />

members of the club<br />

join with us in marking<br />

our 50 years of service to<br />

the community he said.<br />

Over the course of its<br />

history, the branch has<br />

raised more than $250,000.<br />

Many charitable<br />

organisations, as well as<br />

deserving individuals, have<br />

benefited from the quarter<br />

of a million dollars raised<br />

over the 50 years, Mr<br />

Greenaway said.<br />

Police presence stops fires<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

ARSON ATTACKS in<br />

Burnside and Ilam have<br />

stopped after police increased<br />

patrols around the area.<br />

Over a number of weeks,<br />

there have been a series of<br />

deliberately lit fires<br />

in the area, with<br />

wheelie bins, a car<br />

and for sale sign set<br />

alight – some close<br />

enough to scorch<br />

Stephan the exterior of occupied<br />

homes.<br />

McDaniel<br />

Senior Sergeant<br />

Stephan McDaniel<br />

said in response to<br />

the fire, police have<br />

increased patrols in<br />

the area in an effort<br />

James to catch who is<br />

Wallace<br />

lighting the fires.<br />

“At this stage, we have no<br />

clear suspects, but we are looking,”<br />

he said.<br />

He said while there appears<br />

to have been a halt in the attacks,<br />

police will continue to<br />

keep an eye on the area.<br />

“The extra patrols will stay in<br />

place for now,’ he said.<br />

Bins on Greers Rd and Westburn<br />

Tce were set on fire three<br />

weeks ago, prompting police to<br />

dispatch a dog unit to try and<br />

track the offender or offenders.<br />

None have been found.<br />

SINISTER: Most of<br />

the arson attacks<br />

have been wheelie<br />

Burnside resident James<br />

Wallace’s bin was set alight<br />

about a month ago and<br />

scorched the side of his house<br />

while his children were asleep.<br />

He said he had not heard of<br />

any more events around his<br />

area.<br />

“I haven’t seen them, but<br />

I’ve been told there are extra<br />

patrols and a dog unit on<br />

standby,” he said.<br />

• Anyone with<br />

information about the<br />

fires should phone 363<br />

information can also be<br />

Good riddance trees<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

SOME RESIDENTS are not sad<br />

to see eight blue gum trees around<br />

Bishopdale Village Mall felled.<br />

Burnside’s Bill Willoughby, 79,<br />

said he was pleased the trees had<br />

finally got the chop.<br />

“The city council have done the<br />

right thing, they were getting a bit<br />

scraggy,” he said.<br />

As a regular shopper at the mall,<br />

he said it had really tidied the<br />

place up.<br />

The trees were felled recently<br />

because of their poor health,<br />

structural condition and the<br />

risk they presented to the<br />

public. The Bishopdale Business<br />

Association expressed concern<br />

after a limb fell and wrote off a<br />

parked car last year.<br />

Debris from the trees was<br />

also an additional burden for<br />

businesses in the mall causing<br />

regular maintenance issues.<br />

Appropriate replacement trees<br />

will be planted in consultation<br />

with mall businesses.<br />

As well as the trees, we<br />

recently lost the Mitre 10 at the<br />

mall, which has shifted further<br />

down Harewood Rd.<br />

Trees are important to a community,<br />

which is why we have<br />

protection orders and bylaws<br />

governing some trees.<br />

The Bishopdale blue gums<br />

were on private property so,<br />

in one sense, they can do as<br />

they please, but as trees are an<br />

important aesthetic to any community<br />

is it worth extending<br />

the reach of bylaws to cover not<br />

just historic trees but also the<br />

impact on a community of the<br />

removal of large treescapes?<br />

There is a lot of tree removal<br />

going on in our community.<br />

With all the change in our<br />

city and roadworks strangling<br />

our arterials, the continuity<br />

of arboreal landscapes is<br />

important for psychological<br />

well-being.<br />

Too much change all at once<br />

brings a feeling of dislocation<br />

and being wrenched from stability<br />

and familiarity.<br />

When I moved from a large<br />

property in Papanui several<br />

years ago, the owners cut down<br />

every single tree on what was<br />

one of the last un-subdivided<br />

residential properties in the<br />

area – a remnant quarter acre<br />

section.<br />

Down came the red peaches,<br />

the figs, a tall native, blueberries,<br />

pears and a huge magnolia<br />

that was such a feature of the<br />

local community.<br />

FELLED: A<br />

Treetech<br />

arborist<br />

removed<br />

eight blue<br />

gums<br />

outside the<br />

Bishopdale<br />

Village<br />

Mall.<br />

Up went a tilt slab jammed in<br />

behind an older house.<br />

As the Bishopdale blue gums<br />

toppled, I reflected on Gerard<br />

Manly Hopkins’ famous eulogy<br />

to Binsey Poplars.<br />

“My aspens dear, whose<br />

airy cages quelled, Quelled or<br />

quenched in leaves the leaping<br />

sun, All felled, felled, are all<br />

felled; Of a fresh and following<br />

folded rank . . . O if we but knew<br />

what we do.”<br />

RIP Bishopdale blue gums –<br />

you will be missed.<br />

DANGER: Red light runners at this Shirley Rd pedestrian crossing<br />

are causing concerns for pupils safety.<br />

Pupils safety at risk<br />

•From page 1<br />

Community board chairwoman<br />

Ali Jones said off the back of the<br />

meeting, the group came away<br />

with seven action points.<br />

“The school is not that obvious,<br />

it actually looks like a big office<br />

block . . . if drivers are aware there<br />

are children in the area they will<br />

slow down,” Ms Jones said.<br />

Plans likely to be implemented<br />

include a sign<br />

that warns of children in<br />

the area, increased police<br />

presence, increased city<br />

council enforcement and<br />

pupils carrying flags as<br />

they cross the road.<br />

Mrs Jamieson said they<br />

were also looking at having<br />

a longer waiting time between<br />

the light changing red and the<br />

crossing turning green.<br />

“It will be a combined effort.<br />

The sign, police enforcing, city<br />

council enforcing and also<br />

Ali Jones<br />

someone suggested the children<br />

holding flags as they cross<br />

the road like they already do at<br />

St Albans Primary,” Ms Jones<br />

said.<br />

A full safety audit by the city<br />

council, of traffic from Hills Rd to<br />

The Palms Shopping Centre has<br />

also begun.<br />

Although ideas such as<br />

a flashing 40km/h signs<br />

outside the school were<br />

also proposed but is unlikely<br />

to go ahead.<br />

“They’re expensive and<br />

we have to tick a lot of<br />

NZTA boxes related to<br />

getting that,” Ms Jones<br />

said.<br />

But due to traffic<br />

congestion along Shirley Rd after<br />

school, Mrs Jamieson said it<br />

wasn’t so much an issue of speed<br />

as red light running.<br />

Ms Jones said changes would be<br />

in place within four weeks.<br />

MUSIC: Independent Schools of New Zealand Board<br />

chairwoman Heather McRae (left), with Janet Kingsbury and<br />

Sandra Hastie at the awards ceremony.<br />

Rangi’s ‘Mozart’ gets award<br />

A RANGI Ruru Girls’ School<br />

teacher has received an award for<br />

her outstanding contribution to<br />

music.<br />

Director of music Janet Kingsbury<br />

received the honours award<br />

from Independent Schools of<br />

New Zealand.<br />

She joined Rangi Ruru 14 years<br />

ago. Then, following the September<br />

4, 2010, earthquake, she<br />

volunteered hundreds of hours<br />

to work closely with the campus<br />

design team to ensure the music<br />

department was successfully<br />

rebuilt.<br />

At the Independent Schools<br />

of New Zealand conference,<br />

principal Sandra Hastie said<br />

Mrs Kingsbury is an exceptional<br />

music teacher and leader who<br />

goes above and beyond what is<br />

expected.<br />

“Music is a flagship of Rangi<br />

Ruru and is revered both within<br />

the school and throughout the<br />

music community, both locally<br />

and around the country.”<br />

During a recent performance<br />

review, one of her students said:<br />

“Apart from Mozart, no one<br />

knows more about music than<br />

Mrs K.”<br />

Dr Hastie said the school is<br />

incredibly fortunate to have<br />

Mrs Kingsbury as part of the<br />

team. She was thrilled that her<br />

dedication, talent and hard work<br />

had been recognised with this<br />

award.<br />

Fendalton pupils learn how<br />

the settlers lived<br />

Jayden White, Kellan Faulkner and Connie Zhou<br />

(above) were among the year 1, 2 and 3 pupils<br />

from Fendalton Open Air School who visited<br />

Canterbury Museum last week. They learnt<br />

about the early settlers and how they lived,<br />

worked and played.<br />

Ethan Wong (right) and Paige Layton found out<br />

what it felt like to wear Victorian clothes, which<br />

the children of colonists would have worn.<br />

Tomorrow I will be celebrating<br />

the contribution made by<br />

the women of Waimakariri<br />

electorate to the community<br />

and professional sectors at a<br />

working luncheon with Hon<br />

Amy Adams. I am hosting this<br />

event to celebrate the hard<br />

work of our local women and<br />

to provide an opportunity<br />

for them to hear about the<br />

personal journeys other women<br />

have travelled towards turning<br />

their vision into a life path. The<br />

luncheon is an opportunity to<br />

network, make connections and<br />

be inspired by the experiences<br />

of others.<br />

I enjoyed great feedback from<br />

my Keeping Connected Evening<br />

Meetings held last month to<br />

be more accessible outside<br />

business hours. Transport and<br />

roading were topics raised<br />

frequently. Thank you to all<br />

who attended.<br />

Budget 17 delivered good<br />

news for families who will<br />

welcome adjustments to tax<br />

thresholds, increased Working<br />

for Families and assistance<br />

with housing costs. The<br />

$2 billion package delivers<br />

comprehensive support for<br />

families that is underlined by<br />

our strong economy and wage<br />

growth, and reinforces our<br />

commitment to supporting our<br />

families to get ahead.<br />

The return of cruise ships<br />

to Lyttelton will benefit local<br />

tourism operators. I advocated<br />

for our operators whose<br />

businesses were affected<br />

when the port couldn’t berth<br />

cruise ships after the 2011<br />

earthquake, meeting with the<br />

Port company, Christchurch<br />

City Council and Canterbury<br />

Tourism. The return of these<br />

liners is going to mean some of<br />

our local people can stay<br />

in business.

CBHS prepare for St Andrew’s<br />

SPORTS<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High<br />

have a hard week ahead of<br />

them with a traditional rival<br />

looking to topple their season<br />

on Saturday.<br />

St Andrew’s will be looking<br />

to take points from top-of-thetable<br />

CBHS when they meet at<br />

the weekend.<br />

CBHS manager Rob Smith<br />

said it will be a tough game.<br />

“This will be a good test for<br />

the boys. They are definitely up<br />

to it; they love playing the game<br />

so the more the better,” he said.<br />

CBHS are currently top of the<br />

table in the UC Championship<br />

after a five try to four win over<br />

St Thomas on Saturday.<br />

Smith said the St Thomas<br />

match was very physical, but he<br />

didn’t expect anything less from<br />

the men from Middlepark Rd<br />

on their club day.<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

RANGI RURU’S first XI<br />

hockey team have won the Pat<br />

Barwick Shield for the first time<br />

in the school’s history with a<br />

great second half performance<br />

against Villa Maria on Friday<br />

night.<br />

The shield was named after<br />

Barwick, a ​former Black Sticks<br />

women’s captain from 1971-79,<br />

and came into existence in 2014.<br />

It is considered the Ranfurly<br />

Shield of high school women’s<br />

hockey.<br />

The first half of the game<br />

was a feeling out period at<br />

Marist Park. With Rangi slow<br />

out of the blocks, they found<br />

themselves defending a penalty<br />

corner within minutes of the<br />

first whistle.<br />

They turned it around in the<br />

second half, finding the back<br />

of the net four times to win the<br />

shield off their nearby rivals.<br />

games in four days.<br />

“They gave it their all – it was<br />

a great match,” he said.<br />

In the week’s other matches,<br />

Burnside were unable to<br />

get a point against Lincoln<br />

It was presented to captain<br />

Annabelle Wilson by Barwick<br />

herself.<br />

Rangi director of sport Jo<br />

Fogarty said it was a real buzz to<br />

on Saturday losing 15-0.<br />

Meanwhile, Shirley grabbed<br />

their second win of the season<br />

with a 17-8 victory over St<br />

Bede’s.<br />

have the shield on the line and<br />

they look forward to seeing who<br />

will challenge them for it first.<br />

The shield has to be challenged<br />

CHRISTCHURCH BOYS’ High<br />

will take on St Bede’s tomorrow<br />

in the Connetics first XI football<br />

competition.<br />

Seventh placed CBHS put six goals<br />

past Rangiora last week and will be<br />

looking to keep their foot firmly to<br />

the floor when they meet sixth placed<br />

St Bede’s at 4pm. All games will be at<br />

the Christchurch Football Centre.<br />

CBHS coach Mick Braithwaite said<br />

after a slow start to the season, the<br />

team are starting to ramp things up.<br />

“The St Bede’s game will be a<br />

tough ask. The key for us to get three<br />

points is for our defence to continue<br />

their impressive record and we start<br />

scoring more of the chances we are<br />

creating,” he said.<br />

St Bede’s played out a 4-4 draw<br />

against Riccarton last week to help<br />

them retain sixth position on the<br />

table.<br />

Meanwhile, St Andrew’s will look<br />

to continue their winning way when<br />

they take on Riccarton at 7.30pm<br />

tomorrow. They moved into second<br />

position on the table with a solid 2-0<br />

win over Lincoln last week.<br />

Burnside will have their work<br />

cut out for them when they face<br />

off against a rampaging St Thomas<br />

squad at 5.45pm.<br />

Burnside moved into third position<br />

on the table with a hard fought 2-2<br />

draw against Shirley last week.<br />

Burnside will have a crack at the<br />

Connetics Shield tomorrow night,<br />

but will face staunch opposition<br />

from St Thomas who defended it for<br />

a second time with a 5-1 win over<br />

Papanui in round 6.<br />

Burnside coach David Williams<br />

said the shield challenge has come as<br />

a surprise as they have never played<br />

for it.<br />

Papanui will have a crack against<br />

third-placed Lincoln tomorrow at<br />

4pm.<br />

•Last week we said Papanui was<br />

defeated 3-0 by St Thomas in last<br />

year’s fixture. It was Papanui who<br />

beat St Thomas 3-0.<br />

KIDSTUFF<br />

Kids love CASPA!<br />

School that never was<br />

Chairman of the Papanui Heritage Group Murray Williams<br />

writes about the Government’s doomed plan to build<br />

‘Redwood High School’<br />

AS EARLY as 1960 it was accepted by<br />

both the Papanui High School Board<br />

of Governors and the Department of<br />

Education that the rapid increase in the<br />

population of the city’s north-west would<br />

require the construction of another<br />

secondary school in the area.<br />

The site chosen was a 7.7ha block at<br />

the western end of Tuckers Rd, approximately<br />

2km from Papanui High School.<br />

Most of the land had been “taken by<br />

proclamation,” meaning it was acquired<br />

under the Public Works Act, which gave<br />

the Government the right of compulsory<br />

purchase if the land was required for<br />

reasons of public interest.<br />

The completion of Kaiapoi High School<br />

in 1972 might have been expected to<br />

reduce some pressure on the Papanui roll,<br />

but the board remained adamant that the<br />

Tuckers Rd site should be developed as<br />

soon as possible.<br />

A pressure point at Papanui High<br />

School was the lack of quality accommodation.<br />

The departmental reaction had<br />

been to increase the supply of temporary<br />

buildings, thus creating a prefab alley of<br />

dingy classrooms.<br />

The board considered the possibility<br />

of creating a side school at the new site,<br />

one that should be administered from<br />

Papanui High School. The possibility of<br />

creating two single sex schools was also<br />

PLANS: The site<br />

plan developed<br />

by the Ministry<br />

of Works for the<br />

proposed new<br />

secondary school<br />

in the 1970s. The<br />

school would have<br />

been accessed<br />

from Tuckers Rd<br />

and by a right of<br />

way from Sturrocks<br />

Rd. ​<br />

advanced, although neither option was<br />

found to be favourable.<br />

The local newspaper took up the cause<br />

of an extra school and demanded “urgent<br />

action now.”<br />

In May 1976, the Department of Education<br />

decided to build a new co-educational<br />

high school on Tuckers Rd (tentatively<br />

named Redwood High School).<br />

It was scheduled to open in 1980, initially<br />

with a form 3 intake of 200.<br />

The design of the school would be the<br />

same as the S68 model used at Kaiapoi.<br />

However, by 1977, the issue suddenly appeared<br />

less urgent.<br />

It was noted that the Papanui roll had<br />

stabilised and the Burnside High School<br />

roll was falling. In April 1979, the education<br />

minister decided that the new school<br />

would not be built.<br />

In retrospect, it can be seen that the<br />

department’s planners had been blindsided<br />

by the decrease in the national birth<br />

rate, which had fallen by 18 per cent over<br />

the period from 1964 to 1974. The boom<br />

years of the demand for new schools had<br />

come to a halt.<br />

Most of the land that had been earmarked<br />

for the “school that never was”<br />

is now owned by the Exclusive Brethren<br />

church.<br />

Creating a Better<br />

Denture Experience<br />

When was the last time you<br />

had your dentures checked?<br />

Call us today for your FREE<br />

check today.<br />

At Better Denture, the denture clinic<br />

situated in Brynley Street, Hornby, the aim<br />

is to take the hassle out of getting new teeth,<br />

says experienced dental technician and<br />

owner Chris Castle.<br />

“We focus on making it easier for people<br />

coming here to have dentures made or<br />

maintained with our relaxed environment<br />

and friendly approach.”<br />

Chris understands that people can be a bit<br />

nervous about coming into a dental clinic,<br />

but he makes sure everyone feels welcome<br />

and comfortable at Better Denture by<br />

breaking down those barriers and putting<br />

them at ease.<br />

The process of having new dentures made<br />

and fitted usually takes four appointments,<br />

and Chris explains the process step by step<br />

so patients understand what’s being done,<br />

further complete after care is provided at no<br />

additional cost.<br />

“Every set of dentures is made to onsite<br />

by hand, using higher grade materials as<br />

standard, allowing us the ability to customise<br />

every aspect of the process. We also aim to<br />

cater toward the upkeep of existing dentures,<br />

with same day repairs and relines on offer,<br />

as well as being available on Saturdays,<br />

allowing us to work around even the busiest<br />

schedules,” he says.<br />

“Our aim at Better Denture is to create<br />

the best possible denture experience for<br />

you, the customer, whether it be through<br />

the products we custom create, the service<br />

we provide or the manner in which strive to<br />

achieve both of those goals.”<br />

Anyone needing new dentures is invited<br />

to contact Better Denture, phone 349 5050,<br />

for a free consultation. The clinic is spacious<br />

and welcoming, and patients are invited to<br />

bring someone with them for support at any<br />

appointment if they wish.<br />

Located at 6 Brynley Street Hornby,<br />

Better Denture is open Monday to Friday,<br />

9am-5pm and Saturday, 10am-12pm.<br />

Off-street parking and wheelchair access<br />

available.<br />

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

No job too small at<br />

this repair business<br />

Scratch on the bumper? Dent in the door?<br />

Damage like this can happen so easily – in<br />

supermarket car parks, for example. And<br />

the place to get minor damage quickly and<br />

professionally repaired is SMART Repairs<br />

in Lichfield Street.<br />

SMART (Small to Medium Automotive<br />

Repair Techniques) Repairs provides a topquality<br />

service with a quick turnaround<br />

– vehicles are usually in and out within a<br />

couple of days.<br />

SMART Repairs is owned and operated<br />

by Brian and Maxine Caffell, who bought<br />

their first panelbeating business in 1993.<br />

Brian has a total of 31 years’ experience in<br />

the trade, so customers can be confident<br />

they will get a first-class job.<br />

Services include paintless dent removal,<br />

or PDR, and while a large percentage of<br />

their work is non-insurance, they also<br />

provide insurance quotes and carry out<br />

those repairs quickly and efficiently.<br />

To keep their customers on the road while<br />

their vehicle is in the workshop, SMART<br />

Repairs recently acquired a courtesy car,<br />

and this has already proven to be a great<br />

help for people, Maxine says. They also offer<br />

a pick-up and delivery service if required.<br />

As a small, friendly operation, SMART<br />

Repairs specialises in small to medium<br />

repair work, with no job too small, Maxine<br />

says. Their aim is to provide personalised<br />

service, and make it easy for customers<br />

unsure what to do if their vehicle is<br />

damaged.<br />

“We take pride in our work and ensure<br />

that our customers are happy with the<br />

results.”<br />

trees and the with glorious sound of bird<br />

song, it’s easy to see the possibilities for<br />

really transforming this section into your<br />
