Speed sign battle looms 

after council orders removal 

• By Julia Evans 

A ST Albans parent is refusing 

to take down a sign pleading 

for motorists to slow down after 

being ordered to by the city 

council. 

Rachel Donaldson, whose 

children go to St Albans School, 

paid for the sign that reads “St 

Albans children matter, slow 

down” and put it on the fence 

of 85 Westminster St with the 

permission of the homeowner, 

her sister Diane Donaldson. 

But the city council has ordered 

its removal after receiving 

a complaint. 

It said the sign “does not comply 

with the District Plan.” 

Neither Rachel nor Diane 

Donaldson have any idea what 

not complying with the district 

plan could mean and remain 

adamant the sign will stay on the 

fence. 

Diane Donaldson said she has 

no intention of taking it down. 

She would consider painting 

the sign directly onto the fence 

– although that would be an 

extreme measure. 

“It’s on our property. What’s 

the difference between me having 

a sign on my fence and me 

painting it on my fence?” 

Said Rachel Donaldson: “It’s 

really disappointing. I wouldn’t 

have thought the sign was so 

offensive that it would’ve caused 

someone to complain, especially 

with the political billboards, real 

estate agents and signs to quit 

smoking all over the place.” 

Rachel Donaldson has been at 

the helm of a campaign to bring 

attention to dangerous driving 

and red light running in the area. 

She has put up four other signs 

in the area, none of which have 

to be taken down. 

Innes Ward city councillor 

Pauline Cotter said she is 

“extremely disappointed” that 

the city council has ordered its 

removal. She was not aware of 

it until contacted by Nor’West 

News. 

“The signs are brilliant, they 

bring attention to the problem, 

which the profile has been raised 

by the community,” she said. 

She said the Papanui-Innes 

Community Board is working 

on a plan to address the 

wider issue in preparation for 

an increase in motorists when 

the Northern Arterial work is 

complete. 

Until then she didn’t see a 

reason the sign should go. 

The city council won’t comment 

on the matter. 

“As this matter is currently 

under investigation, no further 

comment can be made at this 

time,” adviser of regulatory 

compliance Claire Le Grice 

said.

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK News................................3, 5, 6 

AN INTERESTING battle 

looms over the sign in St Albans 

warning motorists to slow down. 

On page 1 today, we reveal 

a Wesminister St resident has 

been ordered by the city council 

to take down the sign because it 

doesn’t comply with the District 

Plan. 

She has put it up on behalf of 

her sister, Rachel Donaldson, 

who is a parent at St Albans 

School. Rachel has been at the 

helm of a campaign to bring attention 

to dangerous driving and 

red light running in the area. 

But this sign doesn’t comply so 

city hall is wielding the big stick. 

Rachel and her sister Diane 

have no intention of taking it 

down so the scene is set for a 

good fight. 

On another traffic matter, 

Shirley Primary School has come 

up trumps. See page 3.

Pupil safety problems addressed 


SHIRLEY PRIMARY has 

applauded moves to make 

crossing the road outside the 

school safer for pupils. 

Motorists running red lights 

on a signalised pedestrian crossing 

Shirley Rd have posed a 

major threat to pupils. 

The school 

complained to 

both the city 

council and 

Papanui-Innes 

Community 

Board, which 

Sandra 

Jamieson 

has resulted in 

action. 

The city council 

has changed 

the phasing of the lights. The red 

light has been phased for three 

seconds longer before the green 

crossing signal appears, which 

gives drivers longer to come to 

a stop before children cross the 

road. 

Said acting principal Sandra 

Jamieson: “It’s great to see how 

that gap makes such a big difference.” 

There were also adjustments 

made to parking outside the 

school but that was too new to 

see results yet, she said. 

Problems were addressed after 

CROSSING: Red light runners at this signalised crossing on Shirley Rd were causing concern 

for pupil safety. 

school staff and parents brought 

the issue to the attention of the 

city council and police. 

A meeting was held in June 

with members from the Papanui-Innes 

Community Board, 

city council staff, police, as well 

as members of Shirley Primary’s 

staff and parents. 

Mrs Jamieson said there was a 

review meeting scheduled in the 

next few weeks for the people 

Elmwood 

who got together the first time to 

talk about the changes. 

Community board chairwoman 

Ali Jones said there had 

also been great feedback from 

parents and the school. 

In Brief 

BELFAST RIVER REVIVAL 

Plans to restore the Otukaikino 

River Reserve in Belfast will get 

under way this month. The work 

will include the restoration of native 

habitat in the area. A planting day 

is planned for August 27 from 

10.30am. The restoration will be an 

ongoing partnership between the 

community, Trees for Canterbury, 

the city council, and The Isaac 

Conservation and Wildlife Trust. 

YOUTH TRUST FUNDING 

Pupils and students from Shirley 

Intermediate School and Mairehau 

High School will benefit from the 

Papanui-Innes Community Board’s 

decision to approve a grant of $6000 

towards the Crossroads Youth with 

a Future Trust’s salary costs. This 

will allow the trust to deliver its 

Stay Real programme at the two 

schools in 2017 and 2018. Stay Real 

aims to support changes in a young 

person’s life and help them take 

responsibility for their behaviour. 

ADDRESSING SOCIAL ISSUES 

The Papanui-Innes Community 

Board has written to the Ministry 

of Education and Ministry of Social 

Development asking for more 

funding for programmes such as 

social workers in the community. 

The board has seen an increase in 

demand for this kind of support 

after the earthquakes.

Your Local Views 

Readers respond to the 

article about the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board’s 

submission opposing 

a third lane across the 

Waimakariri River 

Joseph Adams – Wherever 

a new or upgraded motorway 

is constructed it may assist flow 

traffic flow somewhat better but 

always creates a bottleneck at 

some other point. 

It is for this reason I think that 

light rail should be tried and 

tested for a reasonable time at 

least. Our existing rail corridors 

do not share the track with other 

forms of transport and are therefore 

a fast and independent way 

to get from point A to B. 

Many people, including planners, 

refer to a transportation 

mode as “getting to a city” 

whereas I believe it would be 

better to adopt the mindset “getting 

through a city”, for example 

Amberley, Sefton or Rangiora to 

Rolleston, Burnham or Darfield 

via the city. 

While this may be a “no-brainer” 

one also has to consider the 

influence works and cartage contractors 

have in these decisions 

not to mention those involved in 

the sales of fuel, tyres and other 

associated motoring products. 

When one thinks about this the 

list suddenly grows. 

Ben Venzy Venz – What 

on earth is a third lane going to 

do? The problem is there’s not 

enough room where the double 

lanes end and it bottlenecks by 

adding another lane is just going 

to make more congestion. 

Pamela Neil – Papanui Rd 

is a choked mess most of the 

time. It needs a flyover all the 

way from Victoria St through 

to the north road as there is no 

where to go to widen it. Imagine 

the whinging with that idea. 

Carol Campbell – They 

should be looking into another 

bridge further west to get all the 

traffic like Rangiora and Oxford 

away from the main motorway. 

Rex Livingstone – An 

extra lane on the bridge would 

certainly help my family who 

come from Cust to the city. 

A normal 30 or 40min drive, 

becomes a 90min trial each 

morning. It will not bring more 

traffic in, but just help those who 

are coming now. 

Celebrating Rangi’s past 

Rangi Ruru 

Girls’ School 

principal 

Sandra Hastie 

writes about 

tradition and 

history in the 

present and 

future of schooling 

IN 1889, Charlie Chaplin was 

born, the Eiffel Tower opened 

and even though it was still four 

years before women won the 

right to vote in New Zealand, 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School came 

into being, in Christchurch. 

Every year we celebrate Founders’ 

Day on August 2, the date 

when the vision of a group of 

women was realised; a vision 

to give girls opportunities that, 

until then, were not readily available 

to them. 

Rangi was founded by Miss 

Helen Gibson, after her father, 

Captain Frederick Gibson, built 

a large house with two schoolrooms 

on the corner of Webb St. 

It was administered by her and 

her sisters Mary, Beatrice, Alice, 

Lucy, Ethel, Ruth and Winifred 

for nearly 60 years. 

It was made very clear by the 

sisters that the focus of the school 

was not to turn the students into 

young ladies, who would become 

stay-at-home-mothers, but 

rather strong young women with 

intellect, strength and their own 

viewpoints. 

The Gibson sisters were indeed 

ahead of their time. These years 

identify the first stirrings of the 

‘Independent Woman’. 

Removed from the traditions 

of “home,” girls began to demand 

the privileges of their brothers. 

They wanted equal opportunities; 

they wanted university 

education; they wanted the vote. 

They achieved all of these 

things before their sisters in 

Britain, and frequently against 

the advice and opinions of their 

parents. They could see that the 

liberating force was education. 

The Gibson sisters all helped 

Discover this 

unique Emporium 


in some way with the running of 

the school, in fact they all continued 

with their studies to train 

to become qualified as teachers 

and in doing so, demonstrated 

the importance of knowledge in 

leadership. 

Looking through the history 

of the school, it’s very clear that 

Rangi wasn’t just about academics, 

sports, music; the arts and 

fun also featured which for that 

time in history and for young 

women, shows it was indeed 

ahead of its time. 

I am sure that if the Gibson 

sisters were alive today, they 

would be proud of what has been 

achieved and we all know that 

there is still plenty to do. 

We are stronger for knowing 

and celebrating our past. Where 

we have come is an important 

part of where we are going, and 

Founder’s Day is a wonderful 

way to weave the threads of 

tradition and history into the 

strong and colourful fabric of our 

school community.

Evie’s historical connection to school 


GENERATIONS: Evie Laidlaw with her father Robert and 

grandfather John – all descendants of the Gibson family, who 

founded Rangi Ruru Girls’ School. 

EVIE LAIDLAW is 12 and she 

doesn’t know a world without 

mobile phones, Facebook and the 

internet. 

But Evie is part of a legacy that 

dates back to when her school, 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School, opened 

in 1890. 

Through her father Robert 

Laidlaw and grandfather John 

Laidlaw, Evie is a direct descendant 

of the Gibson family who 

opened Rangi Ruru in 1890. 

The school celebrated Founder’s 

Day on Wednesday. 

Three generations of the 

Laidlaw family were at the school 

to mark the occasion and Evie 

was asked to light a candle during 

the service. 

“It was a really special service 

for Evie,” said Robert Laidlaw. 

Captain Frederick Gibson built 

the school and his daughters 

Helen, Mary, Beatrice, Alice, 

Lucy, Ethel, Ruth and Winifred 

ran the school for nearly 60 years. 

The Gibson sisters were Evie’s 

grandfather’s great aunts. 

But just about every woman on 

both sides of Evie’s family have 

worn the Rangi Ruru uniform as 

students at the school, including 

her mother Lucy, both grandmothers 

and a myriad of aunts. 

Her grandfather married his 

wife Judy in St Andrew’s Church, 

which is now on the school’s 

grounds, in 1965. 

Robert Laidlaw said the family 

HISTORY: Evie Laidlaw lighting the candles during the 

Founder’s Day service. 

connection comes out through 

the family tree and is reflected in 

their family values. 

“The school really reflects our 

family traditions and values, so 

it’s really good to see Evie going 

there,” he said. 

At 12, this is Evie’s first year at 

the school. Until now she hasn’t 

understood the importance of 

the family’s historic connection. 

“I think she’s just starting to realise 

the importance of the school 

to the family and she’s making 

the most of it,” he said. 

The family pulled out all the 

stops to get her there. 

“We were fortunate enough to 

have the opportunity to send her 

to the school and she knows it’s a 

privilege,” he said. 

The entire family is very proud, 

especially grandfather John who 

is thrilled his granddaughter will 

be carrying on the traditions of 

the past.

Short-term 

safety 

solution for 

Chaneys 


THE UPGRADE of Chaneys 

Corner will see temporary safety 

measure put in place while longterm 

signalisation is finalised. 

The city council said until the 

permanent plans are set in stone, 

“short-term safety improvements” 

will be used at the Main North, 

Marshland and Spencerville Rd 

motorway junction. 

The city council will have to 

take into consideration changes 

in traffic flow as a result of the 

Northern Corridor work. 

It would also take into consideration 

other possible developments 

in the area. 

The budget for the project is 

just over $1 million and less than 

two per cent has so far been spent 

on the investigations so far, city 

council head of transport Chris 

Gregory said. 

The final plan will go out to the 

public for consultation in September 

or October. 

Mr Gregory said it was at this 

time that more information would 

become available. 

TALENTED: Christ’s College band Run77 (above left) and Shirley Boys’ High School’s Fuzhun have made the national final of the 

Smokefreerockquest. 

Christ’s, Shirley bands to rock finals 

BANDS FROM Christ’s College 

and Shirley Boys’ High School 

will battle it out against the 

country’s best in the final of this 

year’s Smokefreerockquest. 

Christ’s band Run77 and 

Shirley’s Fuzhun will compete at 

the national final in Auckland 

on September 2. 

Run77, made up of Angus 

Mossman, Robert Rolleston, 

Henry Phelps, and brothers 

Angus and George Murray, won 

the Canterbury final. 

Fuzhun’s members include 

Gideon Valavala, Tasipale 

Valavala, Michael Mose, Loutoa 

Osai, Temuera Hay, Josh 

Mosa’ati and Keenan Jarvis. The 

band won last year’s regional 

final. 

Bands from across the 

country competed in regional 

competitions from May to early 

July. The regional finalists then 

made 12min videos performing 

their original music. 

Those videos were judged by a 

panel made up of New Zealand 

musicians. Judge and Silver 

Scroll award-winner, Thomas 

Oliver, said the music was 

unique this year. 

“It’s so good to see some really 

strong writers ready to make 

their way into the New Zealand 

music industry.” 

The final, where 12 acts will 

compete for the title, will be held

FIVE PROMISING rugby 

league players have been 

given a shot at making the 

New Zealand 18s side to take 

on Australia’s best. 

Jordan Riki (Hornby 

Panthers), Seth Tauamiti 

(Papanui Tigers), and Daniel 

Sakisi (Celebration Lions) 

have been named in the New 

Zealand Residents 18s wider 

training squad to meet an 

Australian-based selection 

of young New Zealanders 

playing for NRL clubs. 

The Australian-based 

squad includes former 

Celebration Lions Cruz 

Topai-Aveai and former 

Halswell Hornets scrum-half 

Joseph Taipari. Topai-Aveai 

(now with the Cronulla 

Sharks) and Taipari 

(Parramatta Eels) play in the 

Holden Cup. 

The New Zealand 

Residents 18s will be whittled 

down to an 18-man squad 

on September 12 to take on 

the Australian-based team, 

known as Taurahere, on 

September 23 in Auckland. 

A New Zealand 18s team 

will then be selected from the 

match to play the Australian 

Schoolboys on September 30 

at Trust Stadium, Waitakere. 


GREAT TALENT: Cruz Topai-Aveai (left) and Joseph Taipari have been selected in the

Volleyballer off to US 

St Bede’s final 


THREE YEARS ago Tasmyn 

Fahey hadn’t stepped foot 

on a volleyball court, but on 

Thursday she left for Casper, 

Wyoming, in the United States 

to start a two-year scholarship 

playing the sport she now loves. 

The 19-year-old former 

Burnside High student will play 

for Casper College after being 

accepted earlier this year. 

But she didn’t always have the 

same love for the sport that she 

now has. 

It took a persistent coach 

who eventually tricked her into 

attending a training session to 

get her interested. 

“I have always been tall 

and coach Sam Ryburn really 

wanted me to give it a go. I 

wasn’t interested, but he got 

some of my friends to trick me 

into coming to training and, 

from there, I haven’t looked 

back,” Fahey said. 

The scholarship pays for 

everything, including food, 

accommodation and education. 

“I am just so excited to play 

volleyball over there. I didn’t 

think I would reach this level. 

I want to travel, play volleyball 

and get educated, and this 

allows me to do all three. It is 

amazing,” she said. 

Ryburn said it was a huge 

opportunity for Fahey to get 

into the top level of one of the 

biggest sports in the world.

“The junior colleges give 

you really great exposure 

and I know she will take 

every opportunity thrown 

at her,” he said. She follows 

other former Burnside High 

volleyballers, Nicky Pio and 

Petra Manderson, who are both 

at junior colleges in Florida. 

While Fahey has never been 

to the US, she does have an 

American connection. 

Her father was born in 

Pennsylvania before being 

adopted by a Kiwi family. Her 

SPORTS 

mum is from Greymouth. 

“I am really interested to 

learn more about the African- 

American culture, which I will 

be able to do at college,” she 

said. 

On top of the study and sport, 

Fahey said she is really keen to 

experience all her new home 

state has to offer. 

“I am really keen to see 

Yellowstone Park and, even 

though I haven’t done much 

skiing there, I will give it a go,” 

she laughed. 

shot at playoffs 


ST BEDE’S College have a 

chance of making a late bid for 

a playoff spot if they can beat 

Middleton Grange tomorrow 

night and other results go their 

way. 

St Bede’s sit in fifth position on 

the Connetics first XI football 

competition table but could 

jump into fourth. 

However, they would have 

to rely on bottom of the table 

Rangiora High getting past 

fourth placed Cashmere High, 

or third placed Burnside High 

losing to ninth placed Riccarton 

High. 

If St Andrew’s College losses 

to Christ’s College at 5.45pm, it 

could allow St Bede’s to move 

into the top four. 

However, a draw would keep 

St Andrew’s safe from dropping 

out. 

Rangiora have only won one 

game this year and have had 

73 goals scored against them, 

while Burnside have retained the 

Connetics Shield since round 

nine. 

St Andrew’s are currently 

sitting second after beating 

Middleton 2-0 last week. 

St Bede’s beat Rangiora last 

week 5-2 and are now focused on 

putting in a good performance

against Middleton at 5.45pm 

at the Christchurch Football 

Centre, where all league games 

are played this year. 

Burnside will not want to let 

the shield go or drop out of the 

top four in the final round. They 

take on Riccarton at 4pm. 

At 7.30pm, Christchurch Boys’ 

High will be looking to finish 

with a win against top of the

Hydrate to elevate 

We all know drinking water is important, but the 

majority of us simply don’t drink enough even 

though we know it makes us feel great when we 

do. We look at the benefits and motivate you to 

drink more with a few tips on how to make it just 

a little more palatable. 

With over a quarter of Kiwis consuming 

less than two glasses of water a day 

and only 5% drinking more than the 

recommended eight, the message 

obviously hasn’t hit home on the 

importance of hydrating our body. 

A recent survey conducted by 

SodaStream found that Cantabrians are 

particularly guilty when it comes to their 

water intake. 

With 82% drinking less than six 

glasses of water a day, but with over 85% 

admitting they feel healthier when they 

drink more water, something needs to 

be done to bridge the gap in terms of 

what we know to be true and what we’re 

actually doing about it. 

This same survey revealed that although 

41% of us limit how many soft drinks we 

consume due to our concerns over sugar 

content, the same number of people said 

tea or coffee is their number one drink of 

choice. 

Some people even believe that the water 

consumed in their cup of Joe constitutes 

part of their water intake. This is a fallacy. 

As caffeine actually dehydrates us, as 

does alcohol too, it means we need to 

drink even more water to compensate. 

Not so surprisingly the reason we don’t 

drink nearly enough water is that we 

simply forget. Now with apps you can 

download direct to your smart phone, 

there are no more excuses. 

Further studies proved that people 

who had a SodaStream machine in their 

homes were more likely to drink more 

water. 

In fact, the study showed that people 

drank 30% more water. 

For those of us who aren’t used 

to drinking water like it’s going 

out of fashion, there are plenty of ways 

to increase the fun factor while still 

being healthy. 

After 

Before 

By simply turning tap water into sparkling water with a 

SodaStream machine and adding a splash of fresh lemon 

juice or naturally squeezed fruit juice, is bound to have a 

positive impact on our health and wellbeing.

BAKED PEARS WITH 

VANILLA AND BAY LEAF 

SYRUP 

Ingredients 

4 Pears, packham 

4 sheets Puff pastry 

2 Tbsp Milk 

1 Egg 

Syrup 

1 Vanilla bean 

2 Bay leaves 

¾ cup Caster sugar 

½ cup White wine 

½ cup Water 

1 Tbsp to serve Cream 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 180 deg C. 

Line a baking tray with baking 

paper. 

Peel the pears, leaving on the 

stalks, then slice a sliver off the 

bottom of each so they sit flat. 

Lay one sheet of pastry on 

a lightly floured bench. Sit a 

pear in the centre and bring the 

pastry up around the pear. 

Trim the excess, then seal to 

ensure the pear is completely 

enclosed. Use the excess to make 

leaf shapes and press onto the 

pastry. Whisk the egg and milk 

together then brush all over the 

pears. 

Bake for approximately 25min 

or until golden. 

Meanwhile, make the syrup by 

putting all the ingredients into 

a saucepan and then bring to a 

boil. 

Stir then let it reduce – this 

should take approximately 

20min. 

Serve the pears hot with the 

syrup poured over and softly 

whipped cream on the 

side. 

VENISON STEAKS WITH 

KUMARA AND PARSNIP 

BAKE 

Ingredients 

50g Butter 

500g Orange kumara, peeled 

500g Parsnips, peeled 

2 cloves Garlic, cut into slivers 

1 Tbsp Fresh thyme 

1 cup Chicken stock, or vegetable 

stock, use more if needed 

4 Venison, steaks 

6 stems Silverbeet, roughly 

chopped 

1 Tbsp to serve Fruit chutney 

Directions 

Heat the oven to 190 deg 

C. Use half of the measured 

butter to grease a medium-sized 

ovenproof baking dish. 

Cut kumara and parsnip into 

3mm thick slices (a mandolin is 

useful here). 

Layer kumara and parsnip 

slices with the garlic, thyme and 

remaining butter into the baking 

dish finishing with kumara slices. 

Carefully pour in the stock and 

season. 

Cover with baking paper and 

foil, place in the oven and bake 

for 25min. Remove paper and 

foil and bake for a further 25min 

until kumara and parsnip are 

tender. Heat a large frying pan 

over a high heat. Rub venison 

steaks with olive oil and season 

with freshly ground black 

pepper. Place in the hot pan 

and pan-fry for 6min, turning 

once for medium-rare venison. 

Transfer to a warmed plate, cover 

loosely with foil then a clean tea 

towel and leave to rest for 5min. 

Meanwhile, steam silverbeet 

until tender, or boil in a little 

lightly salted water. 

Cut kumara and parsnip bake 

into squares and place one on 

each of four warmed dinner 

plates. Divide silverbeet between 

plates and top with a venison 

steak. Finish with a good dollop 

of chutney.

Welcome to Casebrook 

Intermediate School 

Cathedral Grammar 

The ideal preparation 

Cathedral Grammar is a pre-school 

and school with a rich 136 year history 

delivering high quality education in the 

centre of our city. It is a school with a 

strong, Anglican ethos and spiritual heart 

that uniquely maximises the benefits of coeducational 

and separate gender education 

in the one school environment. While the 

world has changed beyond the imagining 

of our pioneers, the forward-looking 

principles of Cathedral Grammar remain 

as relevant today as they have ever been: 

to provide an exceptional personalised 

education that empowers our pupils to lead 

successful and fulfilling lives. 

Our Board has set a future focussed 

strategy and we are currently in the 

exciting phase of developing plans to 

ensure we anchor a forwardlooking 

education within the 

illustrious history of the oldest 

established independent 

primary school in New 

Zealand. Our forwardthinking 

attitude is clearly 

displayed with our fantastic 

and unique new playground 

on top of the roof of our 

multi-award winning Junior 

School building. Pippin 

Wright-Stow of F3 Design 

has created an original and 

exciting structure to climb in 

and through, which reflects 

the shape and form of our 

majestic Southern Alps. This is a great 

addition to the existing slide off the same 

roof space. 

In this knowledge era, original thought 

is important to us here at Cathedral 

Grammar. This requires the ability to 

think beyond, to adapt, to change and to 

innovate. Our strong academic traditions 

are important to us, and so too is every 

pupil reaching their full potential, building 

their self-confidence and making friends 

for life. Our challenge is to find the perfect 

balance as we prepare our pupils for life. 

Every pupil. Every day. 

Come and see what the buzz is about and 

what we will provide your child and family. 

We look forward to hosting you at our 

Open day, or any time that best suits you. 

Year 7 & 8 students are a 

unique age group that we 

specialise in educating. Our 

staff and school resources 

are all geared for this stage 

of personal development 

and focus on providing as 

a diverse range of learning 

opportunities to create a wellrounded 

individual. 

Our learning environment 

is supported by a strong 

focus on our school values 

of Respect (Whakaute), 

Excellence (Panekiretanga) 

and Perseverance (Hiringa). Through 

these ‘REP’ values we develop within each 

student a sense of self worth to realise their 

importance as a member of our Casebrook 

community. 

Our school environment is one where 

students are safe and have the confidence 

to take risks with their learning. In 

this way the students at Casebrook are 

supported and encouraged to become selfmotived, 

independent learners. 

We value the partnership between home 

and school. Together we can create an 

environment where we foster feelings of 

pride and belonging. We are sure you will 

enjoy being a part of our community and 

I would welcome the opportunity to meet 

with you to discuss your child’s future at 

Casebrook.

DND SHOWBAND returns to the Hornby Club 

next Saturday 19th August, and by popular 

request will include their ABBA tribute set in the 

programme! 

Christchurch based DnD Showband has been 

delighting audiences across the country with 

their multi-tribute theme shows for an incredible 

ten years. Despite earthquakes, tsunami warnings, 

wild fires, and floods they continue to travel the 

country - although it may take them a little 

longer than in earlier days to reach their 

destination! Coming months sees them with 

show performances in Blenheim, Hawera, 

Waikanae, Levin, Porirua, Ashburton, and 

Timaru. Check out their website 

www.dndshowband.com for show details. 

“We’re rather proud that we get repeat 

bookings around the country. The North Island 

especially has a huge pool of amazing talent at its 

disposal. It’s flattering that an act from 

Christchurch is so well received,” said Jo Davern, 

DnD manager. 

In rehearsal mode for next Saturday’s show at 

the Hornby Club, the 6 piece live band has been 

busy fine tuning show content, sorting costumes 

and tightening up moves. 

“It’s not just all about ABBA, we’ve put together 

a great play list guaranteed to get everyone up 

dancing. And for those who prefer to listen and 

watch, our professional tech’s Peter and Amanda 

will be out front running our sound and light 

systems to ensure it sounds and looks wonderful,” 

said Jo. 

DnD Showband present ‘Dance the Night 

Away’ with feature set ABBA at the Hornby Club 

on Saturday 19th August. 8pm start Doors open 

at 6.30pm. Tickets $20 on sale now at the Hornby
