RIBBON: Transport Minister Simon Bridges and Mayor Lianne Dalziel with St Albans brothers Luka, 4, and Wolfgang Moeller, 7,<br />

opening the Papanui Parallel cycleway. ​<br />

Papanui cycleway opened<br />

CHRISTCHURCH was<br />

recently named New Zealand’s<br />

top place to cycle.<br />

And after the official opening<br />

of the Papanui Parallel cycleway,<br />

north-west cyclists<br />

are finding out why.<br />

On Friday, Mayor Lianne<br />

Dalziel and Transport Minister<br />

Simon Bridges cut the ribbon and<br />

had the first ride along the route.<br />

“The Papanui Parallel is a<br />

vital route for the northern<br />

part of the city and is expected<br />

to attract many new commuters,<br />

shoppers and recreational<br />

cyclists,’’ Ms Dalziel said.<br />

The cycleway is 5km and<br />

connects the central city to<br />

Northlands Shopping Centre<br />

via Colombo St, Rutland St and<br />

Grassmere St.<br />

Police<br />

make<br />

arrests<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

A quick-thinking neighbour<br />

filmed two burglary suspects,<br />

helping police catch them a short<br />

distance away.<br />

​The woman on Solomon Ave,<br />

Redwood, saw the two men on<br />

the property at about 1pm on <strong>June</strong><br />

19, and grabbed her phone and<br />

started to film them.<br />

They left on cycles and she<br />

phoned police, giving them a<br />

description.<br />

Police found a 22-year-old and<br />

a 25-year-old in an alleyway off<br />

Grimseys Rd, near the rear of the<br />

St Bede’s College sports grounds,<br />

about 1.5km from Solomon Ave.<br />

Police confirmed the two suspects<br />

from footage the neighbour<br />

had provided, they also had property<br />

on them which was allegedly<br />

stolen from the address.<br />

Both appeared in the district<br />

court on Thursday charged with<br />

burglary and have been remanded<br />

on bail to appear on July 14. No<br />

pleas have been entered yet.<br />

Further charges could still be<br />

laid, Senior Sergeant Stephan<br />

McDaniel said.<br />

FROM<br />

THE<br />

EDITOR’S<br />

DESK<br />

ONE OF the best lines of defence<br />

against burglars are nosey<br />

neighbours.<br />

A noisy dog and burglar alarms<br />

help too of course, but a neighbour<br />

with a phone is what every<br />

would-be burglar dreads.<br />

That’s because a photo of a<br />

burglar in the act is very hard to<br />

defend in court.<br />

So a bouquet for the neighbour<br />

who took video footage of two<br />

burglary suspects (see page 1) last<br />

week in Redwood.<br />

She called the police who were<br />

quickly in the area and two<br />

people fitting the descriptions<br />

on bikes were stopped for<br />

questioning.<br />

Once the video footage was<br />

examined by police the 22 and<br />

25-year-old were arrested.<br />

They have appeared in court<br />

and were remanded on bail to<br />

next month.<br />

Good work nosey neighbour.<br />

Jellie Park cycle incentive cut<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

SPENDING on cycleways in<br />

Christchurch has topped $156<br />

million.<br />

But the city council will<br />

not continue an incentive<br />

programme to get people<br />

cycling to Jellie Park Sports and<br />

Recreation Centre because there<br />

was not enough uptake during<br />

the trial.<br />

And Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood Community Board<br />

members can’t see the logic<br />

behind it.<br />

During February, to coincide<br />

with the Cycle Aotearoa<br />

Programe, the trial was run that<br />

if you cycled to Jellie Park five<br />

times you received a free pool<br />

entry and bottle of water.<br />

It was deemed a success<br />

by board chairman David<br />

Cartwright as well as board<br />

member and chairwoman of the<br />

Jellie Park Bike Initiative Project<br />

committee, Bridget Williams.<br />

Ms Williams said the<br />

initiative provided “simple<br />

wins” such as health benefits,<br />

easing traffic and boosting cycle<br />

numbers.<br />

It was intended after the trial<br />

that the scheme would be rolled<br />

out across all city council sports<br />

and recreation centres, such as<br />

Pioneer and Graham Condon.<br />

CYCLE: Jellie Park Bike Initiative Project committee<br />

chairwoman Bridget Williams wants to see more people<br />

cycling to Jellie Park.<br />

But she said a month was not<br />

long enough and it would take<br />

time for public awareness to<br />

build.<br />

“I don’t see any harm in it<br />

continuing, people just need<br />

a wee bit of a carrot . . . good<br />

things take time,” Ms Williams<br />

said.<br />

And Mr Cartwright also said<br />

he didn’t understand why it<br />

wasn’t continuing.<br />

“We’ve spent a significant<br />

amount of money putting<br />

cycleways in, it’s a good way<br />

to get people using them,” Mr<br />

Cartwright said.<br />

He said making people leave<br />

their cars at home required<br />

good infrastructure and a<br />

change in attitude.<br />

The community board<br />

received a report from city<br />

council western area operations<br />

manager Martin McGregor.<br />

It said there were 117 visits<br />

to Jellie Park by bicycle in<br />

February.<br />

“The programme ran<br />

smoothly and had a small<br />

to moderate uptake,” Mr<br />

McGregor said in the report.<br />

But he said the uptake didn’t<br />

suggest there is a demand for a<br />

permanent incentive. Though it<br />

will run again next February at<br />

all centres.<br />

“This trial has shown that<br />

run in conjunction with<br />

the nationwide awareness<br />

programme during the month<br />

of February engagement in the<br />

idea of cycling to our centres<br />

can be maximised,” he said.<br />

The incentive proved there<br />

were at least 100 empty car<br />

parks that would otherwise have<br />

been full during a peak summer<br />

month, Mr Cartwright said.<br />

The community board also<br />

funded bicycle locks for Jellie<br />

Park.<br />

They are being used 30<br />

times a week and will soon be<br />

available at all centres.<br />

incentive to get people<br />

cycling is a good idea? Send<br />

RECOGNITION:<br />

Kendo coach Karl<br />

Hitchcock with<br />

TV3 news anchor<br />

Mike McRoberts<br />

receiving his<br />

award. Right: He<br />

is pictured with<br />

members of the<br />

Canterbury Kendo<br />

Club.<br />

Film inspires volunteer’s<br />

30 years of kendo<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

WITH A name like Hitchcock, it<br />

doesn’t come as a surprise it was<br />

a film that inspired the Merivale<br />

coach who received an award for<br />

his volunteer work.<br />

First seeing kendo on<br />

television in the early 70s, it<br />

wasn’t until Karl Hitchcock saw<br />

the first Star Wars film in 1977<br />

that he began practising the<br />

sport himself.<br />

“When I saw it first, it was<br />

something I wanted to do and<br />

then when the Star Wars movies<br />

came out, it made me want to do<br />

it even more,” he said.<br />

Although he did admit the<br />

early Star Wars films didn’t<br />

really get kendo right – it was<br />

1999’s The Phantom Menace that<br />

was choreographed by a kendo<br />

instructor.<br />

“It was the only good thing<br />

about that movie,” he said.<br />

Fast forward 11 years and in<br />

1988 Mr Hitchcock co-founded<br />

the Canterbury Kendo Club –<br />

Sei Tou Ken Yu Kai – with Alex<br />

Bennett.<br />

Last week during Volunteer<br />

Week after almost 30 years and<br />

12,000 hours of dedication to<br />

kendo, Mr Hitchcock received<br />

an award for his service.<br />

When it began, Canterbury<br />

Kendo was one of the first kendo<br />

clubs in New Zealand and the<br />

first in the South Island.<br />

“Back in the early days there<br />

weren’t many people doing it,”<br />

Mr Hitchcock said.<br />

Now the club has up to 40<br />

regular members, which the club<br />

puts down to his commitment to<br />

the sport.<br />

Mr Hitchcock coaches both<br />

children and adults classes for<br />

eight hours a week on a Monday,<br />

Wednesday and Friday at the<br />

club’s Sockburn dojo.<br />

For Mr Hitchcock, there is<br />

a very deep connection to the<br />

sport – he finds it centres and<br />

relaxes him, helping with his<br />

bipolar disorder.<br />

“I use kendo as a mirror for my<br />

mental health … kendo evens<br />

me out,” he said.<br />

Plans for campaign<br />

to help newcomers<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

A CAMPAIGN to get strangers<br />

smiling at each other could be<br />

on the cards for Papanui.<br />

Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board members who attended<br />

a recent national community<br />

board conference have<br />

suggested that the<br />

board explore a “smile<br />

campaign” for the area.<br />

Board chairwoman Ali<br />

Jones (right) said the idea<br />

is based on welcoming<br />

new people into the<br />

region and community.<br />

“We were so good coming<br />

together after the earthquakes,<br />

people are still doing it really<br />

hard in parts of our ward and<br />

this is a campaign about telling<br />

people they are not alone, we<br />

as a community are there to<br />

support and help them,” Ms<br />

Jones said.<br />

The board is looking at<br />

including local school students<br />

as photographers, designers,<br />

videographers to run posts on<br />

its Facebook page.<br />

She said the idea was inspired<br />

by the campaign successfully<br />

run by the Ashburton District<br />

Council last year.<br />

The district council set up<br />

a sofa at events and around<br />

However, it ran for the first<br />

time in 2015 in Christchurch<br />

by the Canterbury Employers’<br />

Chamber of Commerce as<br />

a response to the overseas<br />

workers coming for the<br />

rebuild.<br />

“The premise behind<br />

the Ashburton “smile”<br />

campaign may not be<br />

applicable to a Papanui Innes<br />

or even Christchurch context,<br />

then again it may be,” Ms Jones<br />

said.<br />

She said because it’s very<br />

early days, the board will need<br />

to consider costs and how it<br />

implements it – possibly using<br />

schools, community groups<br />

and local shops.<br />

The board will be holding<br />

a workshop about how the<br />

campaign could be organised<br />

in the ward as soon as possible.<br />

“The board hopes to have a<br />

presentation from the Ashburton<br />

campaign team, very soon so we<br />

can start to progress things from<br />

there,” Ms Jones said.<br />

Star Media scoops awards<br />

THE STAR has been judged<br />

the best of the best at the New<br />

Awards.<br />

The Star, part of the Star Media<br />

Group, scooped the three top<br />

awards – best newspaper, most<br />

improved newspaper and it also<br />

took out the supreme award<br />

which covers newspapers, magazines<br />

and websites.<br />

Venetia Sherson who judged<br />

the supreme award category said:<br />

“The Star is bold in design and<br />

bold in attitude. The Star urges<br />

its readers to engage in debate<br />

and reflect on the issues it deems<br />

important to the community.<br />

“Strong grass roots reporting,<br />

and tight writing are the<br />

hallmarks of the paper. It tackles<br />

big subjects with a sure hand<br />

and features a good mix of civic<br />

issues, crime and community<br />

stories.”<br />

Mike Fletcher who judged the<br />

most improved newspaper category<br />

said of The Star: “The paper<br />

is a cracker. It is a joy to read.<br />

Judging by The Star’s pagination<br />

growth, the readers and advertisers<br />

like it and value it too.<br />

“The Star is filling a vital niche<br />

for news and views in Christchurch.<br />

Every page is attractive.<br />

Every page is interesting.”<br />

It was a big night for Star<br />

Media’s team at the awards<br />

ceremony which was held in<br />

Christchurch on Friday.<br />

As well as The Star winning<br />

the top three awards, Kiwi Gardener<br />

was judged best all round<br />

lifestyle magazine, Gabrielle<br />

Stuart was the winner of the best<br />

senior feature/lifestyle journalist<br />

category and Bridget Rutherford<br />

was runner-up in the junior<br />

categories.<br />

Star Media also featured in the<br />

advertising awards.<br />

Rodney Grey was the winner<br />

and runner-up in the best advertising<br />

portfolio categories and<br />

Michaela Bolster was the sales<br />

excellence winner.<br />

‘The Star is filling a vital<br />

niche for news and views in<br />

Christchurch.’<br />

– Mike Fletcher, judge<br />

The awards come at a great<br />

time for Star Media – The Star’s<br />

Your Local Views<br />

Readers respond to an<br />

article in Nor’West <strong>News</strong><br />

regarding a city council plan<br />

to lower speed limits around<br />

Canterbury University to<br />

<strong>News</strong><br />

make it safer for cyclists.<br />

Vaughan Rowe – that won’t<br />

make the roads any wider, nor<br />

people drive safer, nor cyclists<br />

ride safer! Sadly.<br />

some point to motor vehicles to<br />

reduce the number competing<br />

with the cycleway. However, the<br />

best solution would have been<br />

to build a separate cycle path<br />

on this route like the rest of the<br />

cycleway and that would shut up<br />

the forever moaning car drivers<br />

who see it as their right to drive<br />

everywhere and at speeds that<br />

suit them.<br />

Gayle Elizabeth Lord – At<br />

the rate they are going the city<br />

council will have the whole city<br />

Fashion<br />

at 30km. There are schools all<br />

over the city without a lower<br />

speed limit so why do university<br />

students need this? Motorists<br />

need to pay attention and<br />

cyclists need to also. Have seen<br />

some dangerous behaviour from<br />

both.<br />

Pamela Neil – Cyclists need<br />

Gardening<br />

to pay registration! That is being<br />

considered Brisbane. They use<br />

the roads for nothing!<br />

James David Foote –<br />

Cyclists pay for the roads too.<br />

We pay our taxes, we pay GST<br />

every time we buy something.<br />

We live in our homes that we<br />

Motoring<br />

pay our council rates on. Most<br />

of us also own a car that we pay<br />

our registration on as well as<br />

fuel taxes when we fill up. By being safe.<br />

promoting and encouraging<br />

cycling, you add capacity to<br />

roads without having to spend<br />

millions by building new ones.<br />

The university has a much larger<br />

student body than schools do<br />

and have students coming and<br />

going all day. The entrances to<br />

schools are busy at 9am and<br />

3pm, they have lower speed<br />

limits at those times as well as<br />

road patrols, which is enough.<br />

Trevor Taylor – I think we<br />

should have someone carrying<br />

a red flag walk in front of every<br />

car and truck in Christchurch.<br />

That way we will be able to<br />

eliminate all vehicles crashes.<br />

Nothing is more important than<br />

Lucinda Rees – How about<br />

30km/h speed limits outside<br />

schools too as recommended by<br />

the World Health Organisation.<br />

Drivers just need to get used to<br />

this speed limit, as they have<br />

done in Europe. The traffic keeps<br />

moving, but at a safe speed.<br />

Wendy Charlotte Olivier<br />

– I have to laugh at this idea,<br />

people don’t even keep in the<br />

speed limits in a school zone.<br />

Bicycles are not meant to be on<br />

the roads, it is not fair to put that<br />

responsibility on a driver as well<br />

as all the other rules they have to<br />

keep to. I think cyclists have too<br />

much privilege and I think this<br />

needs to stop.<br />

Jason Gemmill – Absolutely<br />

insane! Total madness!<br />

SLOW DOWN:<br />

The proposed<br />

area around the<br />

university where<br />

the speed<br />

limit could be<br />

reduced. ​<br />

Anna Henderson – Yes<br />

good idea. A large number of<br />

university students cycle (which<br />

is a great thing). It’s also very<br />

much encouraged by the uni<br />

which puts the parking prices up<br />

exceedingly high on purpose to<br />

discourage driving. Two of my<br />

flatmates have been knocked off<br />

their bicycles by cars who were<br />

completely in the wrong and just<br />

didn’t look. At least if they’re<br />

going slower it might help.<br />

Graham Batchelor –<br />

Slowing traffic on this part of<br />

the Unicycle should have been<br />

part of the original design. I also<br />

think that this route which is<br />

used as a rat run from Clyde Rd<br />

to Kilmarnoch St be blocked at<br />

David Butler – Doesn’t work<br />

here, you have the chance now<br />

to build proper cycle paths like<br />

Amsterdam. Cars and bicycles<br />

don’t mix.<br />

Tanya Hyde – Not sure if<br />

lowering the speed limit would<br />

help decrease the number<br />

of accidents as it’s ignorant/<br />

inconsiderate driving or<br />

cycling that’s the cause. But if<br />

a lower speed limit reduces the<br />

seriousness of accidents then<br />

that’s a start. But we need better<br />

education for both motorists and<br />

cyclists on keeping them safe<br />

on the road. If both switched<br />

places for the day they would<br />

understand the other side. I<br />

drive and cycle in the city and I<br />

find it scary being a cyclist and<br />

uneasy driving around cyclists.<br />

Mel Schmidt – Making the<br />

speed limit for cars lower won’t<br />

affect the sheer arrogance of<br />

cyclists who think the road is<br />

theirs.<br />

Second hearing for liquor store<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

YET ANOTHER hearing date<br />

has been set for the controversial<br />

Trafford St liquor store bid.<br />

Samarth Rajeshkumar<br />

Limbachiya applied for a liquor<br />

licence late last year for 2a<br />

Trafford St, Harewood, but was<br />

withdrawn days before the hearing<br />

at the end of March.<br />

His submission was then doubled<br />

in size to include 2b Trafford<br />

St but the opening hours<br />

were slightly reduced.<br />

It has been met with opposition<br />

from residents and community<br />

board member.<br />

This included a petition with<br />

1100 signatures and 36 individual<br />

submissions from residents,<br />

churches and the YMCA.<br />

A district licensing committee<br />

hearing on July 13 and 14 will<br />

decide whether or not to approve<br />

the application.<br />

Petition organisers Bruce<br />

Tulloch and Colin Fussell said<br />

the location was unsuitable and<br />

would attract an unwanted element.<br />

Mr Tulloch said there were<br />

plenty of options for buying<br />

alcohol in the area already.<br />

“They are making a profit<br />

from public harm and it has to<br />

stop,” he said.<br />

ADVERTORIAL<br />

THE RICCARTON MARKET<br />

IS NOT CLOSING!<br />

During winter, as expected, the number of stall<br />

holders and the number of people coming to the<br />

market reduces but we still get in excess of 4,000<br />

people coming every week. One of the strong points<br />

about the Riccarton Market is that both entry and<br />

parking is free to the public”.<br />

HUNDREDS<br />

OF STALLS<br />

Don’t believe everything that you<br />

hear! Despite numerous rumours<br />

the popular Riccarton Market is<br />

not closing.<br />

“It is easy to understand the confusion” says Craig<br />

Murphy, President of the Rotary Club of Riccarton.<br />

(The Riccarton Market is owned by the Riccarton<br />

Rotary Charitable Trust and managed by the Rotary<br />

Club of Riccarton). “With much publicity being<br />

given to the proposed new housing subdivision<br />

on some of the land currently occupied by the<br />

Riccarton Racing Club people have missed the<br />

point that not all of the land is going to be utilised.<br />

Over the next few years land will be progressively<br />

developed into residential sections along Yaldhurst<br />

Road and Steadman Road and then into other parts<br />

of the property.<br />

It does not however intrude into that portion of the<br />

land currently occupied by the Riccarton market”.<br />

Plans released by the developers, Ngai Tahu<br />

Properties, show the proposed subdivision being<br />

done over 6 stages which when completed will<br />

provide approximately 600 new residential sections.<br />

“In preparation for the development the Riccarton<br />

Market has reduced its footprint and condensed<br />

the number of stalls available. The Racing Club<br />

has offered other land closer to the entrance in<br />

exchange for land surrendered by the market.<br />

These new areas will be incorporated into the<br />

market over time” advises Ross Binning, Chair of<br />

Riccarton Rotary’s Market Committee. “By reducing<br />

the footprint now we have been able to provide<br />

additional parking for our customers making coming<br />

to the Riccarton Market even easier. Over the<br />

summer months we have been getting crowds in<br />

excess of 10,000 people every Sunday.<br />

The Riccarton Market has been in operation for<br />

29 years. Over that time it has moved location<br />

several times. From its origins as a ‘car boot sale’<br />

located at the Riccarton Mall carpark, it moved to<br />

The Bush Inn, then outgrew sites at Riccarton High<br />

School and then at the University, relocating to<br />

the racecourse site more than 15 year ago. It has<br />

become an institution in Christchurch – described<br />

by the Christchurch City Council as ‘an icon’ for<br />

locals and tourists alike. It is the largest charity<br />

market in New Zealand and with room for over<br />

300 stalls it is arguably the largest weekly market<br />

in the country. During this period Riccarton Rotary<br />

has donated more than $3 million to local charities<br />

and individuals as well as supporting other national<br />

and international projects especially at times of<br />

emergency.<br />

“It is disappointing that people still talk about the<br />

Riccarton Market closing” says Craig Murphy. “In<br />

many cases those people are directly associated<br />

with competitive markets around the city so they<br />

no doubt see it to their advantage by creating<br />

uncertainty about the future of the Riccarton Market.<br />

Be assured the Riccarton Market is here to stay. We<br />

have a secure long term arrangement over<br />

the Riccarton Park site and apart from some<br />

relatively minor redesign of the footprint over<br />

the next few years there is nothing that will<br />

change as far as our many loyal customers<br />

are concerned. They will be able to continue<br />

to come for their vegetables, meats, other<br />

food items, hardware, tools, furniture, plants,<br />

artworks, jewellery, cat and dog needs,<br />

clothing as well as to be entertained by the<br />

live music and stay and have their lunch from<br />

one of the numerous ethnic and specialised food<br />

and refreshment stalls located around the central<br />

‘commons’.<br />

Mr Holstein<br />

Thank you to everyone who attended our Open Night<br />

on Tuesday 16 May. We trust you enjoyed your time<br />

with us, learned more about our school, and gained<br />

an insight into Burnside High School. I am grateful to<br />

the 250 volunteer student guides who were proud to<br />

showcase their school to you.<br />

Burnside provides an excellent learning environment<br />

and makes a positive difference to people’s lives. We<br />

pride ourselves on being a successful school that is<br />

highly regarded in the community for its high-quality,<br />

values-based learning and specialist facilities. We are<br />

a larger school with a community feel, offering a wide<br />

range of opportunities in a safe, friendly atmosphere,<br />

and with high standards and expectations of<br />

ourselves and our students. Burnside High School<br />

bases its culture on a vision of ‘personal excellence<br />

and caring for others’. The way students and staff act,<br />

feel and think about themselves, and about others,<br />

is determined by our key values of being respectful,<br />

having pride and striving to excel.<br />

Our size and all the advantages that this brings is a<br />

point of difference and is what makes this decile 8,<br />

state, co-educational school special.<br />

The six significant features that make Burnside High<br />

School a leader of learning are:<br />

• We are a centre for academic excellence with an<br />

emphasis on high-quality teaching practices and<br />

outstanding achievement.<br />

• Our roll of around 2,500 students enables us<br />

to provide an extensive, diverse and specialised<br />

curriculum that caters for and challenges students of<br />

all abilities.<br />

• We provide an exceptionally wide range of cocurricular<br />

opportunities (music, drama, dance, clubs<br />

and sports) for students to enjoy, learn new skills,<br />

take leadership roles, and achieve at a high level.<br />

• We are a caring school where students are known<br />

and supported as individuals in a positive, inclusive<br />

environment.<br />

• We value effective relationships with parents<br />

and the wider community to improve outcomes for<br />

students.<br />

• We are innovative and responsive to the evolving<br />

nature of society through continuous and rigorous<br />

review and evaluation of our systems, practices and<br />

procedures.<br />

Burnside High School, in partnership with parents and<br />

caregivers, has the proven ability to assist students<br />

develop the skills, attributes, and attitudes to make<br />

a success of their lives in the workplace, in the<br />

community, and as members of supportive and loving<br />

families. I believe in, and am proud of, Burnside High<br />

School and feel privileged to be its principal.<br />

Phil Holstein,<br />

Principal<br />

BHS Stage Challenge <strong>2017</strong><br />

Tragic mine disasters and depletion of fish due to<br />

pollution and over fishing were two strong themes<br />

portrayed by the Raw and Open Stage Challenge<br />

teams at Burnside High School this year resulting in<br />

first place for Raw and second place for Open.<br />

The Raw team, comprised of Year 9 and 10 students,<br />

gave a moving performance based on two of New<br />

Zealand’s tragic mine disasters, Strongman and Pike<br />

River. There was a personal connection between both<br />

as one of the students’ great grandfather was in the<br />

Strongman mine disaster in 1967, that killed 19 men<br />

and another student’s brother was killed in the Pike<br />

River mine explosion.<br />

When we discovered the connection, we realised<br />

we had to tell these stories and with the blessing<br />

of the families, the team of 100 students won the<br />

competition with a powerful and moving performance.<br />

Open Division Second Place.<br />

On the 15th of May the Burnside High School Sports<br />

Leadership classes participated in a 24 hour run<br />

to raise funds for CanTeen. This charity supports<br />

teenagers suffering from cancer to continue to enjoy<br />

life and everything it has to offer.<br />

At 3:15pm on the Monday, the continuous run began<br />

with fifty students and two teachers making up ten<br />

teams who would pass the metaphorical baton to<br />

keep moving around the one kilometre track for 24<br />

hours. Many pupils had gained sponsorship per km<br />

to help motivate them round the track - with the<br />

aid of head torches in the darkness of the night.<br />

However, the real motivation came in the form of all<br />

the supporters who came and joined in, with staff,<br />

ex-pupils and hundreds of Burnside High students<br />

jumping on the track throughout the day. There was a<br />

very special appearance from the principal Mr Holstein<br />

himself, donning his running gear and showing the<br />

students how it is done, this provided a big boost for<br />

the weary runners.<br />

By 3:15pm on the Tuesday, after some much needed<br />

complimentary massage the whole team joined<br />

together to complete one last kilometre around the<br />

The following night the seniors performed in the Open<br />

section of Stage Challenge. Again the team of 100<br />

performed with passion to warn us of the dangers<br />

of pollution and overfishing in our oceans. Clever<br />

recycling of costumes of plastic bags and black fabric<br />

depicting an oil spill emphasised the theme that<br />

you can’t eat money and we need to look after our<br />

environment now.<br />

Both teams were student-led and the stringent<br />

rehearsal schedules and commitment to their<br />

teams resulted in deserved results and a greater<br />

understanding of two significant events in New<br />

Zealand’s history as well as an appreciation of the<br />

risks of exploitation of our reserves.<br />

Boys’ High bench clinches win<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

LAST-MINUTE heroics are<br />

starting to become the norm for<br />

Christchurch Boys’ Alex Harford<br />

after a late penalty sealed a 13-11<br />

win for the defending champions<br />

against Nelson College on<br />

Saturday.<br />

Harford came off the bench<br />

onto the wing, and with 3min<br />

to go, slotted the match-winner<br />

from 35m on the angle.<br />

He had only been on the field<br />

for about 10min before lining up<br />

the vital nudge.<br />

Last week it was Rico Syme<br />

who broke the hearts of the<br />

opposition with a scintillating<br />

50m dash before Harford kicked<br />

SPORTS<br />

the extras to beat St Andrew’s<br />

25-23.<br />

Coach Danny Porte said it was<br />

a “faultless kick.”<br />

“It shows the depth we have in<br />

the squad, it is about the full 22<br />

guys not just the starting 15,” he<br />

said.<br />

The win keeps CBHS at the top<br />

of the table.<br />

They head into next weekend<br />

with a bye, but the team are far<br />

from getting a break.<br />

“We have Blackrock College<br />

from Ireland on Thursday then we<br />

face a challenge from Otago Boys’<br />

High next Tuesday as a school<br />

exchange game,” Porte said.<br />

Burnside will have to travel<br />

north to play Marlborough Boys’<br />

after a 43-12 defeat at the hands<br />

of Christ’s on Saturday, while<br />

St Bede’s will look to bounce<br />

back after their first ever defeat<br />

to Rangiora High (21-7) –when<br />

they take on Mid-Canterbury<br />

PAPANUI HIGH have surprised<br />

themselves by qualifying for the<br />

Touch New Zealand secondary<br />

schools nationals in Papakura,<br />

Auckland in December.<br />

The senior boys’ team will<br />

take on the top 16 teams in the<br />

country after placing third in the<br />

South Island championships at<br />

the end of March.<br />

School sports coordinator<br />

Kirsten Hill said it was a<br />

mammoth effort considering<br />

the calibre of competition they<br />

faced.<br />

“The team decided to relieve<br />

the pressure of trying to qualify<br />

for nationals, and focus more<br />

on using the tournament to<br />

gain experience to build for the<br />

future,” she said.<br />

After some tough battles, they<br />

had managed to draw against St<br />

Thomas, Southland Boys’ High<br />

and beat Otago Boys’ High.<br />

In their final game, they<br />

needed a draw at least against<br />

the more favoured Nelson<br />

College team to secure a place at<br />

nationals.<br />

GREAT food<br />

BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />

Your fresh food people<br />

Slow-cooked<br />

beef cheek<br />

(Serves 4 )<br />

Beef cheeks naturally<br />

contain a lot of collagen<br />

which, when cooked long<br />

and slow, converts into a<br />

luscious rich texture. The<br />

cheeks will be extra tender<br />

and flavoursome if prepared<br />

a day in advance and will<br />

taste even better.<br />

Ingredients<br />

6 cups Beef stock<br />

3 Tbsp Rice bran oil<br />

½ cup Carrot, diced<br />

½ cup Onion, diced<br />

½ cup Celery, diced<br />

3 Garlic cloves, peeled and sliced<br />

1 Tbsp Tomato paste<br />

2 cups Red wine<br />

1 Bay leaf<br />

4 sprigs Fresh thyme<br />

1 sprig Fresh rosemary, small<br />

1.2 kgs Beef cheeks, 1 cheek per<br />

serve<br />

1 tsp Salt<br />

Directions<br />

Heat the oven to 140 deg C.<br />

Bring the beef stock to the<br />

boil. Heat the oil and fry the<br />

vegetables, garlic and tomato<br />

paste for 10 minutes to lightly<br />

caramelise. Turn the heat up<br />

to high, add the red wine and<br />

reduce by half.<br />

Season the beef cheeks with<br />

salt and pepper then place them<br />

in an ovenproof casserole (or<br />

use a slow cooker). Add in the<br />

reduced wine and vegetables.<br />

Add the herbs and cover with<br />

beef stock.<br />

Cover with a tight-fitting<br />

lid and cook in the oven for 3<br />

hours.<br />

To make the glazing sauce,<br />

strain off half the cooking juices<br />

into a saucepan, bring this to the<br />

boil and reduce until thick and<br />

syrupy.<br />

To serve, gently reheat the<br />

cheeks in the remaining cooking<br />

juices. When hot, carefully lift<br />

them out and place them into<br />

the glazing sauce. Smother with<br />

sauce and serve with creamy<br />

potato mash and a warm salad<br />

of greens (I have steamed<br />

brussels sprout leaves, peas, and<br />

broad beans, then tossed them<br />

with a little olive oil and sea salt<br />

flakes).<br />

Mu shu pork<br />

sliced<br />

3 Eggs, lightly beaten with a<br />

pinch salt<br />

½ cup Spring onion, sliced, cut<br />

on an angle<br />

2 tsp Fresh ginger, cut into<br />

matchsticks<br />

200g Chinese greens, cut into 5<br />

cm lenghts<br />

1 Tbsp Hoisin sauce<br />

2 Tbsp Soy sauce<br />

1 Tbsp Rice wine, or sherry<br />

Pork seasoning<br />

1 Tbsp Soy sauce<br />

1 tsp Sherry, or rice wine<br />

½ tsp Garlic, crushed<br />

1 tsp Cornflour<br />

Directions<br />

Soak the mushrooms in warm<br />

water for 15 minutes until soft.<br />

Cut away the stalks then thinly<br />

slice into strips.<br />

Mix all the pork seasoning<br />

ingredients together, then stir<br />

through the sliced pork.<br />

Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a wok<br />

until it begins to smoke. Add the<br />

beaten eggs and slowly stir to<br />

scramble. Remove from the wok<br />

and reserve.<br />

Heat the remaining oil in<br />

a wok. Add spring onion<br />

and ginger before adding the<br />

seasoned pork. Quickly stir-fry<br />

for several minutes until the<br />

pork is just cooked.<br />

Add mushrooms, bamboo<br />

shoots and greens. Stir fry for<br />

2 minutes before adding the<br />

hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice<br />

wine or sherry, and a pinch of<br />

salt. Toss well before returning<br />

eggs to the wok to reheat. Serve<br />

OPEN NIGHTS <strong>2017</strong><br />

Intermediates are exciting places for students to<br />

begin their adventure into adolescence. In addition<br />

to providing a rich, age and stage, middle-yearsspecific<br />

curriculum in a stimulating, challenging and<br />

rewarding environment, intermediates cater for many<br />

interest groups and clubs.<br />

Intermediate schools target the needs<br />

of early adolescent Year 7 & 8 students<br />

- 11-13 year olds. These two-year, coeducational<br />

schools are in many ways ideal<br />

environments for students to begin their<br />

adventures into adolescence.<br />

Early adolescence is a unique and special<br />

time of immense physical, intellectual,<br />

emotional and social development.<br />

These changes create specific needs and<br />

challenges that are significantly different<br />

from the needs of younger children or older<br />

adolescents.<br />

An intermediate school can support your<br />

Year 7 & 8 child in ways that include but are<br />

not limited to:<br />

• The staff are all focussed on the needs<br />

of early adolescents and teach in these<br />

schools because they establish strong<br />

relationships and particularly enjoy<br />

working with Year 7 & 8 students. They<br />

are highly qualified, experienced and<br />

skilled teachers of early adolescent<br />

students, who ensure pastoral,<br />

social and emotional needs are well<br />

supported.<br />

• The resources are all designed and<br />

acquired to meet the needs of this age<br />

It is not surprising that New Zealand and overseas<br />

research concludes that the quality of teaching is<br />

one of the most significant factors influencing how<br />

well students learn at school. Given that quality<br />

teaching occurs in most New Zealand schools<br />

regardless of their type, it’s only natural to consider<br />

other factors that might make a difference for early<br />

adolescents.<br />

The young people at intermediates are changing<br />

rapidly – physically, emotionally and socially.<br />

Intermediates focus solely on this age group and<br />

are well positioned to meet their needs. A mix<br />

of specialist and home room teachers helps to<br />

provide the choices, challenge, love for practical<br />

activities and academic rigour in the students’<br />

learning. Resourcing, both human and physical, that<br />

is developed deliberately to meet early adolescent<br />

student needs, helps to build self esteem, assist<br />

students to develop and find strengths and links<br />

learning with career aspirations. Teachers who are<br />

focussed solely on the middle years are able to work<br />

collaboratively to provide level-appropriate engaging<br />

programmes that connect learning to students’ lives<br />

and interests and provide challenge for all students<br />

to achieve to the best of their ability.<br />

group - age appropriate experiences,<br />

opportunities and challenges are<br />

planned for and provided.<br />

• Leadership development focuses on<br />

opportunities for students to develop<br />

the important skills associated with leading<br />

their peers - people their own age.<br />

• Secure and supportive yet challenging<br />

environments are provided to support<br />

students to develop their independence.<br />

• Students thrive on the opportunity to<br />

step up.<br />

• Specialist teaching opportunities enable<br />

students to receive age appropriate<br />

and challenging learning in technology,<br />

science, performing arts and visual arts.<br />

• Significant home group environments<br />

support strong literacy and numeracy<br />

programmes differentiated in creative<br />

ways to meet students’ individual<br />

needs - all students are extended and<br />

the focus is on accelerating progress.<br />

The intermediate schools in Christchurch<br />

work closely together to collectively provide<br />

a wide range of extracurricular opportunities<br />

for students in sporting, cultural and<br />

academic contexts.<br />

Current intermediate school students list these<br />

points:<br />

1. “There are more children of my own age here<br />

because our school takes all the year sixes from a<br />

few different schools and they come to one school.<br />

And because we’ve got bigger numbers of pupils<br />

we can have more sports teams and … there’s<br />

something for everyone” Y8 child<br />

2. “Our school has different specialist teachers for<br />

subjects like music art, P.E. and technology, so we<br />

get used to that – which is good preparation for<br />

secondary school” Y7 girl<br />

3. “At intermediate school everything is for our two<br />

years (age group).” Y8 girl<br />

4. “I like that we don’t have to look out for little<br />

children. That was neat at our old (primary) school<br />

but it’s nice to just have our own age here. Y7 boy<br />

5. “It’s good that we don’t have big secondary kids<br />

here. We can worry about them when we’re older…<br />

and then we’ll be big too. Y8 boy<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

Parents of Year 6 students are<br />

encouraged to take a good<br />

look at their child’s full primary<br />

school when choosing<br />

schooling for 2018.<br />

Why change schools when you don’t<br />

need to? Full Primary schools are<br />

tried and tested and have developed<br />

in innovative and cost effective ways<br />

since their inception in 1877. They<br />

are as important to the provision of<br />

education in 2018 as they were in 1877.<br />

What makes them successful?<br />

• They have evolved over time and have responded to the<br />

different demographic changes since 1877.<br />

• They are located in neighbourhoods; they cater for<br />

families and respond to community needs.<br />

• They are staffed by highly trained teachers who know<br />

curriculum levels from Level 1 – 5 who have had the<br />

same teacher training as teachers in other Year 7 and 8<br />

school types.<br />

• Teachers in the student’s current full primary school<br />

know about individual students learning progress and<br />

learning style from Year 1 – 8.<br />

• Developing the whole child, flexibility, nurture,<br />

innovation and child centred learning sum up full primary<br />

schools.<br />

• Year 7 and 8 students are the leaders and role models<br />

along with the adults in a full primary school with<br />

opportunities to nurture Year 1 – 6 students.<br />

• School organisation in a full primary school fits the<br />

needs of students not the timetable.<br />

• All Year 7 and 8 students are included in leadership<br />

opportunities, sporting opportunities, school community<br />

job opportunities, buddy responsibilities and role model<br />

expectations. They are seen by others in the school as<br />

the leaders and younger students look up to them.<br />

• These opportunities and strategies to build leadership,<br />

key competencies and resilience are available to all Year<br />

7 and 8 students in a full primary.<br />

What does the research tell<br />

us about the learning needs<br />

of Year 7 and 8 students?<br />

• Curriculum that is relevant, challenging,<br />

integrative, and exploratory<br />

• Multiple learning and teaching<br />

approaches<br />

• Assessment and evaluation programmes<br />

that promote quality learning<br />

• Organisational structures that support<br />

meaningful relationships and learning<br />

• Educators who value working with the<br />

age group<br />

• Courageous, collaborative leadership<br />

• School-wide efforts and policies that<br />

foster health, wellness, and safety<br />

• Multifaceted guidance and support<br />

services<br />

• School-initiated family and community<br />

partnerships<br />

Looking at the above list it becomes clear that it isn’t school<br />

type or school buildings that make the difference for Year<br />

7 and 8 students. It is instead the innovative approach to<br />

learning and the attitude of professionals toward this group of<br />

students. This can happen in any school setting as long as the<br />

leadership, teachers and non-teaching staff are committed<br />

to the social and emotional development of this group of<br />

learners. Full Primary Schools are providers of Year 7 and 8<br />

education in every way that other types of schools are.<br />

And also<br />

The research also provides insight into<br />

what works for Year 7 and 8 students:<br />

Ministry of Education by Dinham and Rowe<br />

of the Australian Council for Educational<br />

Research. 2007<br />

• From the broader ‘teaching and learning literature’,<br />

there is strong evidence that the quality of teaching<br />

which students receive at all levels and stages of<br />

schooling is of major importance in influencing<br />

achievement outcomes for students.<br />

• While productive and positive student-teacher<br />

relationships are identified as an important<br />

characteristic of highly performing schools<br />

catering for middle years’ students, it needs to be<br />

acknowledged that good teachers and school leaders<br />

at all levels of schooling is what works.<br />

• It is therefore debateable whether at least some<br />

aspects of the philosophy and enactment of middle<br />

schooling is any different from ‘good’ teaching and<br />

effective schooling generally in all school types.<br />

The literature is clear in advocating ‘middle schooling<br />

approaches focusing on quality teaching and<br />

enhanced learning’ rather than on school type.<br />

Therefore it is what happens in the classroom to<br />

support learning and what happens across the school<br />

to cater for the specific developmental, cognitive,<br />

physical, emotional and social needs of Year 7 and 8<br />

that makes the difference. Not school type.<br />

The research on middle schooling and its implications<br />

to provide quality education to Year 7 and 8 students<br />

is as applicable to full primary school as it is for other<br />

schooling types.<br />

Returning to work, but<br />

looking for a change?<br />

If you watched What Next? on TV One<br />

recently, you will be aware how quickly NZ<br />

is being impacted by emerging technologies.<br />

Tech roles exist in nearly all industries<br />

now, from agriculture to zoology, and huge<br />

growth in the already significant tech sector<br />

in Canterbury is predicted by the Canterbury<br />

Development Corporation.<br />

To fuel this growth, we need more trained<br />

tech people. SIGNAL is working with<br />

industry to help meet this need via Shift, an<br />

innovative industry-driven tech programme<br />

for those who are seeking a new career path,<br />

but who do not have an IT background. This<br />

intensive 9 month programme is open to<br />

degree holders in any discipline, from NZ or<br />

off-shore - in fact, diversity is welcomed!<br />

The Shift programme is ideal for those<br />

looking to return to the work force, and<br />

offers school friendly hours allows you to<br />

up-skill without sacrificing family time.<br />

There are a number of tech jobs in NZ and<br />

they cover a varied skill set. You can focus<br />

on software design and development or you<br />

could concentrate on other high demand<br />

skills, such as project management, product<br />

testing, user experience, business analysis,<br />

technical writing. The Shift programme<br />

uses immersive studio-based learning and<br />

real-world experience via industry projects<br />

and placements to produce graduates with<br />

well-rounded technical and communication<br />

skills, able to work with any team within the<br />

exciting tech sector.<br />

“The first half of the Shift program has<br />

Want to Shift to a new career?<br />

We can make it happen.<br />

CDC estimates ICT employment in Canterbury<br />

will grow 2500 additional jobs by 2025<br />

SHIFT offers tech training with school<br />

friendly hours, so you can move into a<br />

role within Canterburys’ booming tech<br />

sector.<br />

succeeded in delivering to my expectations - I<br />

have enjoyed learning introductory tech skills<br />

such as programming, web development,<br />

databases and user experience. The project<br />

work has provided real-life examples of how<br />

these skills could be applied and required<br />

our group to work together to achieve the<br />

desired result.” Qualified geologist and Shift<br />

SECONDARY SCHOOL SELECTION<br />

A bright future at Shirley and Avonside<br />

With a brand new state-of-the-art<br />

campus on their horizon and a host of<br />

new opportunities to offer students, it<br />

is a great time to enrol at Shirley Boys’<br />

High School and Avonside Girls’ High<br />

School.<br />

The two schools will relocate to their<br />

new site, at QEII Park, in time for Term<br />

2 of 2019, so students who enrol for next<br />

year will be at the new schools in their<br />

second year of high school.<br />

Being able to start from scratch has<br />

enabled the architects to create the<br />

‘ultimate campus’. It features a large<br />

Performing Arts Centre (with a 750-seat<br />

and a 100-seat theatre), three full-sized<br />

gyms (complete with climbing wall), a<br />

cultural space and four sportsfields.<br />

Each school will also have a long list<br />

of its own specialist learning facilities,<br />

including:<br />

• Electronics Lab<br />

• Recording Studios<br />

• Editing Suites<br />

• 2D and 3D Printing Room<br />

• 6 Science Labs<br />

• An Indoor Fitness Centre<br />

Avonside Girls’ principal Sue Hume<br />

says the students will spend most of<br />

their day in a single sex environment.<br />

“That’s important to us. The research<br />

clearly shows that single sex education<br />

benefits both girls and boys...boys do<br />

better academically and girls participate<br />

more when they have space to learn and<br />

focus away from the opposite gender,”<br />

says Sue Hume.<br />

Shirley Boys’ High School headmaster<br />

Avonside Girls’ principal Sue Hume<br />

and Shirley Boys’ High School<br />

headmaster John Laurenson<br />

John Laurenson says being co-located<br />

will enable both schools to offer their<br />

students more.<br />

“We’ll be able to work together to<br />

deliver more specialist subjects so we<br />

can widen our curriculum and we will<br />

be able to co-operate on things like<br />

school productions. Obviously there<br />

will be lots of social and educational<br />

advantages to this.”<br />

A large bus network is being created<br />

to help make travelling to and from the<br />

campus easy, and the schools are also<br />

working with local authorities to create<br />

safe cycling and walking routes to the<br />

site.<br />

While the new zone hasn’t been<br />

finalised yet, the schools’ intake for next<br />

year will be based on their current zones.<br />

That is good news for any families<br />

considering out-of-zone enrolments.<br />

Much of the school’s existing zones now<br />

sit in the residential red zone so there is<br />

plenty of space.<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />

New hope for patients<br />

suffering from MS,<br />

strokes or spinal injuries<br />

For those seeking relief from pain caused by injury, and other physical and mental<br />

health issues, Chinese health practitioner Dr Lan Xiao offers a method of treatment<br />

that brings fast, and often immediate results.<br />

Special offer for JUlY - if you have<br />

suffered a stroke, spinal injury or have<br />

MS, then this article is for you.<br />

A graduate of Beijing Medical College, Dr Lan<br />

established an acupuncture clinic in Christchurch<br />

in 1993. As she continued her research and medical<br />

practice, she discovered a reflexology network on<br />

the human body, an exciting new discovery that<br />

became the foundation of her new treatment –<br />

acupuncture without needles.<br />

Instead of needles, Dr Lan uses a blunt instrument<br />

to stimulate the reflexology points on the face<br />

or other parts of the body. When the point is<br />

stimulated by pressure, a message is sent to the<br />

repair centre to promote healing. As Dr Lan<br />

explains, the treatment increases energy, which<br />

boosts the body’s healing system.<br />

The body will heal injuries naturally, she says, but<br />

that is a slow process. In addition, many people will<br />

start to use their injured part, for example a knee<br />

or an ankle, before it is properly healed, therefore<br />

prolonging the injury and even causing chronic<br />

pain.<br />

With her powerful treatment, results are produced<br />

very quickly – even instantly.<br />

She likens it to the differences between the<br />

power of a car – natural healing, of an aeroplane<br />

– other types of natural healing, and of a rocket –<br />

reflexology network.<br />

It brings fast results because it is a very precise<br />

treatment, Dr Lan says. She uses it to treat people<br />

of all ages with many different types of pain in all<br />

parts of the body, including arthritic pain, MS,<br />

and pain from injury, and there are no side-effects.<br />

Depression and anxiety, often the result of ongoing<br />

low energy, can also be overcome with Dr Lan’s<br />

treatment.<br />

Dr Lan’s treatment can give amazing, instant<br />

improvement for muscle weakness and numbness<br />

caused by nerve damage such as MS, stroke<br />

and spinal injury. Search You Tube for Dr Lan<br />

reflexology to see lots of instant results videos.<br />

Dr Lan has published a book, Dr Lan’s Reflexology<br />

Network, which introduces the treatment and<br />

explains how it works. Her website, www.<br />

drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, includes treatment<br />

videos, where people who have had the treatment<br />

speak about the fast relief it has brought them.<br />

Dr Lan is offering 10 patients of stroke, 10<br />

patients of MS and 10 patients of spinal injury<br />

half price for their rehabb. Phone 323 4168,<br />
