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 />

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 />

PARK UPDATE<br />
Work has begun on installing the<br />
new playground equipment at<br />
Abberley Park in St Albans. The old<br />
equipment has all been removed.<br />
The city council is also doing work<br />
to maintain the pathways through<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 />
the area for residents to stop<br />
and have a conversation with<br />
a stranger from a different<br />
background.<br />
However, it ran for the first<br />

a response to the overseas<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 />

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 />

the top three awards, Kiwi Gardener<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 />

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 />
Combined.<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 />
(Serves 4 )<br />
Ingredients<br />
4 Chinese mushrooms, dried<br />
(available from Asian food<br />
stores)<br />
5 Tbsp Vegetable oil<br />
300g Baby lettuce leaves, thinly<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 to taste Salt<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 />
immediately.<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 />
learner Isaac Burwell.<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 />

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 />
