Speed sign battle looms<br />
after council orders removal<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
A ST Albans parent is refusing<br />
to take down a sign pleading<br />
for motorists to slow down after<br />
being ordered to by the city<br />
council.<br />
Rachel Donaldson, whose<br />
children go to St Albans School,<br />
paid for the sign that reads “St<br />
Albans children matter, slow<br />
down” and put it on the fence<br />
of 85 Westminster St with the<br />
permission of the homeowner,<br />
her sister Diane Donaldson.<br />
But the city council has ordered<br />
its removal after receiving<br />
a complaint.<br />
It said the sign “does not comply<br />
with the District Plan.”<br />
Neither Rachel nor Diane<br />
Donaldson have any idea what<br />
not complying with the district<br />
plan could mean and remain<br />
adamant the sign will stay on the<br />
fence.<br />
Diane Donaldson said she has<br />
no intention of taking it down.<br />
She would consider painting<br />
the sign directly onto the fence<br />
– although that would be an<br />
extreme measure.<br />
“It’s on our property. What’s<br />
the difference between me having<br />
a sign on my fence and me<br />
painting it on my fence?”<br />
Said Rachel Donaldson: “It’s<br />
really disappointing. I wouldn’t<br />
have thought the sign was so<br />
offensive that it would’ve caused<br />
someone to complain, especially<br />
with the political billboards, real<br />
estate agents and signs to quit<br />
smoking all over the place.”<br />
Rachel Donaldson has been at<br />
the helm of a campaign to bring<br />
attention to dangerous driving<br />
and red light running in the area.<br />
She has put up four other signs<br />
in the area, none of which have<br />
to be taken down.<br />
Innes Ward city councillor<br />
Pauline Cotter said she is<br />
“extremely disappointed” that<br />
the city council has ordered its<br />
removal. She was not aware of<br />
it until contacted by Nor’West<br />
<strong>News</strong>.<br />
“The signs are brilliant, they<br />
bring attention to the problem,<br />
which the profile has been raised<br />
by the community,” she said.<br />
She said the Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board is working<br />
on a plan to address the<br />
wider issue in preparation for<br />
an increase in motorists when<br />
the Northern Arterial work is<br />
complete.<br />
Until then she didn’t see a<br />
reason the sign should go.<br />
The city council won’t comment<br />
on the matter.<br />
“As this matter is currently<br />
under investigation, no further<br />
comment can be made at this<br />
time,” adviser of regulatory<br />
compliance Claire Le Grice<br />
said.<br />

AN INTERESTING battle<br />
looms over the sign in St Albans<br />
warning motorists to slow down.<br />
On page 1 today, we reveal<br />
a Wesminister St resident has<br />
been ordered by the city council<br />
to take down the sign because it<br />
doesn’t comply with the District<br />
Plan.<br />
She has put it up on behalf of<br />
her sister, Rachel Donaldson,<br />
who is a parent at St Albans<br />
School. Rachel has been at the<br />
helm of a campaign to bring attention<br />
to dangerous driving and<br />
red light running in the area.<br />
But this sign doesn’t comply so<br />
city hall is wielding the big stick.<br />
Rachel and her sister Diane<br />
have no intention of taking it<br />
down so the scene is set for a<br />
good fight.<br />
On another traffic matter,<br />
Shirley Primary School has come<br />
up trumps. See page 3.<br />

Pupil safety problems addressed<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
SHIRLEY PRIMARY has<br />
applauded moves to make<br />
crossing the road outside the<br />
school safer for pupils.<br />
Motorists running red lights<br />
on a signalised pedestrian crossing<br />
Shirley Rd have posed a<br />
major threat to pupils.<br />
The school<br />
complained to<br />
both the city<br />
council and<br />
Papanui-Innes<br />
Community<br />
Board, which<br />
Sandra<br />
Jamieson<br />
has resulted in<br />
action.<br />
The city council<br />
has changed<br />
the phasing of the lights. The red<br />
light has been phased for three<br />
seconds longer before the green<br />
crossing signal appears, which<br />
gives drivers longer to come to<br />
a stop before children cross the<br />
road.<br />
Said acting principal Sandra<br />
Jamieson: “It’s great to see how<br />
that gap makes such a big difference.”<br />
There were also adjustments<br />
made to parking outside the<br />
school but that was too new to<br />
see results yet, she said.<br />
Problems were addressed after<br />
CROSSING: Red light runners at this signalised crossing on Shirley Rd were causing concern<br />
for pupil safety.<br />
school staff and parents brought<br />
the issue to the attention of the<br />
city council and police.<br />
A meeting was held in June<br />
with members from the Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board,<br />
city council staff, police, as well<br />
as members of Shirley Primary’s<br />
staff and parents.<br />
Mrs Jamieson said there was a<br />
review meeting scheduled in the<br />
next few weeks for the people<br />
Elmwood<br />
who got together the first time to<br />
talk about the changes.<br />
Community board chairwoman<br />
Ali Jones said there had<br />
also been great feedback from<br />
parents and the school.<br />
In Brief<br />
BELFAST RIVER REVIVAL<br />
Plans to restore the Otukaikino<br />
River Reserve in Belfast will get<br />
under way this month. The work<br />
will include the restoration of native<br />
habitat in the area. A planting day<br />
is planned for <strong>August</strong> 27 from<br />
10.30am. The restoration will be an<br />
ongoing partnership between the<br />
community, Trees for Canterbury,<br />
the city council, and The Isaac<br />
Conservation and Wildlife Trust.<br />
YOUTH TRUST FUNDING<br />
Pupils and students from Shirley<br />
Intermediate School and Mairehau<br />
High School will benefit from the<br />
Papanui-Innes Community Board’s<br />
decision to approve a grant of $6000<br />
towards the Crossroads Youth with<br />
a Future Trust’s salary costs. This<br />
will allow the trust to deliver its<br />
Stay Real programme at the two<br />
schools in <strong>2017</strong> and 2018. Stay Real<br />
aims to support changes in a young<br />
person’s life and help them take<br />
responsibility for their behaviour.<br />
ADDRESSING SOCIAL ISSUES<br />
The Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board has written to the Ministry<br />
of Education and Ministry of Social<br />
Development asking for more<br />
funding for programmes such as<br />
social workers in the community.<br />
The board has seen an increase in<br />
demand for this kind of support<br />
after the earthquakes.<br />

Your Local Views<br />
Readers respond to the<br />
article about the Papanui-<br />
Innes Community Board’s<br />
submission opposing<br />
a third lane across the<br />
Waimakariri River<br />
Joseph Adams – Wherever<br />
a new or upgraded motorway<br />
is constructed it may assist flow<br />
traffic flow somewhat better but<br />
always creates a bottleneck at<br />
some other point.<br />
It is for this reason I think that<br />
light rail should be tried and<br />
tested for a reasonable time at<br />
least. Our existing rail corridors<br />
do not share the track with other<br />
forms of transport and are therefore<br />
a fast and independent way<br />
to get from point A to B.<br />
Many people, including planners,<br />
refer to a transportation<br />
mode as “getting to a city”<br />
whereas I believe it would be<br />
better to adopt the mindset “getting<br />
through a city”, for example<br />
Amberley, Sefton or Rangiora to<br />
Rolleston, Burnham or Darfield<br />
via the city.<br />
While this may be a “no-brainer”<br />
one also has to consider the<br />
influence works and cartage contractors<br />
have in these decisions<br />
not to mention those involved in<br />
the sales of fuel, tyres and other<br />
associated motoring products.<br />
When one thinks about this the<br />
list suddenly grows.<br />
Ben Venzy Venz – What<br />
on earth is a third lane going to<br />
do? The problem is there’s not<br />
enough room where the double<br />
lanes end and it bottlenecks by<br />
adding another lane is just going<br />
to make more congestion.<br />
Pamela Neil – Papanui Rd<br />
is a choked mess most of the<br />
time. It needs a flyover all the<br />
way from Victoria St through<br />
to the north road as there is no<br />
where to go to widen it. Imagine<br />
the whinging with that idea.<br />
Carol Campbell – They<br />
should be looking into another<br />
bridge further west to get all the<br />
traffic like Rangiora and Oxford<br />
away from the main motorway.<br />
Rex Livingstone – An<br />
extra lane on the bridge would<br />
certainly help my family who<br />
come from Cust to the city.<br />
A normal 30 or 40min drive,<br />
becomes a 90min trial each<br />
morning. It will not bring more<br />
traffic in, but just help those who<br />
are coming now.<br />
Celebrating Rangi’s past<br />
Rangi Ruru<br />
Girls’ School<br />
principal<br />
Sandra Hastie<br />
writes about<br />
tradition and<br />
history in the<br />
present and<br />
future of schooling<br />
IN 1889, Charlie Chaplin was<br />
born, the Eiffel Tower opened<br />
and even though it was still four<br />
years before women won the<br />
right to vote in New Zealand,<br />
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School came<br />
into being, in Christchurch.<br />
Every year we celebrate Founders’<br />
Day on <strong>August</strong> 2, the date<br />
when the vision of a group of<br />
women was realised; a vision<br />
to give girls opportunities that,<br />
until then, were not readily available<br />
to them.<br />
Rangi was founded by Miss<br />
Helen Gibson, after her father,<br />
Captain Frederick Gibson, built<br />
a large house with two schoolrooms<br />
on the corner of Webb St.<br />
It was administered by her and<br />
her sisters Mary, Beatrice, Alice,<br />
Lucy, Ethel, Ruth and Winifred<br />
for nearly 60 years.<br />
It was made very clear by the<br />
sisters that the focus of the school<br />
was not to turn the students into<br />
young ladies, who would become<br />
stay-at-home-mothers, but<br />
rather strong young women with<br />
intellect, strength and their own<br />
viewpoints.<br />
The Gibson sisters were indeed<br />
ahead of their time. These years<br />
identify the first stirrings of the<br />
‘Independent Woman’.<br />
Removed from the traditions<br />
of “home,” girls began to demand<br />
the privileges of their brothers.<br />
They wanted equal opportunities;<br />
they wanted university<br />
education; they wanted the vote.<br />
They achieved all of these<br />
things before their sisters in<br />
Britain, and frequently against<br />
the advice and opinions of their<br />
parents. They could see that the<br />
liberating force was education.<br />
The Gibson sisters all helped<br />
Discover this<br />
unique Emporium<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
in some way with the running of<br />
the school, in fact they all continued<br />
with their studies to train<br />
to become qualified as teachers<br />
and in doing so, demonstrated<br />
the importance of knowledge in<br />
leadership.<br />
Looking through the history<br />
of the school, it’s very clear that<br />
Rangi wasn’t just about academics,<br />
sports, music; the arts and<br />
fun also featured which for that<br />
time in history and for young<br />
women, shows it was indeed<br />
ahead of its time.<br />
I am sure that if the Gibson<br />
sisters were alive today, they<br />
would be proud of what has been<br />
achieved and we all know that<br />
there is still plenty to do.<br />
We are stronger for knowing<br />
and celebrating our past. Where<br />
we have come is an important<br />
part of where we are going, and<br />
Founder’s Day is a wonderful<br />
way to weave the threads of<br />
tradition and history into the<br />
strong and colourful fabric of our<br />
school community.<br />

Evie’s historical connection to school<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
GENERATIONS: Evie Laidlaw with her father Robert and<br />
grandfather John – all descendants of the Gibson family, who<br />
founded Rangi Ruru Girls’ School.<br />
EVIE LAIDLAW is 12 and she<br />
doesn’t know a world without<br />
mobile phones, Facebook and the<br />
internet.<br />
But Evie is part of a legacy that<br />
dates back to when her school,<br />
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School, opened<br />
in 1890.<br />
Through her father Robert<br />
Laidlaw and grandfather John<br />
Laidlaw, Evie is a direct descendant<br />
of the Gibson family who<br />
opened Rangi Ruru in 1890.<br />
The school celebrated Founder’s<br />
Day on Wednesday.<br />
Three generations of the<br />
Laidlaw family were at the school<br />
to mark the occasion and Evie<br />
was asked to light a candle during<br />
the service.<br />
“It was a really special service<br />
for Evie,” said Robert Laidlaw.<br />
Captain Frederick Gibson built<br />
the school and his daughters<br />
Helen, Mary, Beatrice, Alice,<br />
Lucy, Ethel, Ruth and Winifred<br />
ran the school for nearly 60 years.<br />
The Gibson sisters were Evie’s<br />
grandfather’s great aunts.<br />
But just about every woman on<br />
both sides of Evie’s family have<br />
worn the Rangi Ruru uniform as<br />
students at the school, including<br />
her mother Lucy, both grandmothers<br />
and a myriad of aunts.<br />
Her grandfather married his<br />
wife Judy in St Andrew’s Church,<br />
which is now on the school’s<br />
grounds, in 1965.<br />
Robert Laidlaw said the family<br />
HISTORY: Evie Laidlaw lighting the candles during the<br />
Founder’s Day service.<br />
connection comes out through<br />
the family tree and is reflected in<br />
their family values.<br />
“The school really reflects our<br />
family traditions and values, so<br />
it’s really good to see Evie going<br />
there,” he said.<br />
At 12, this is Evie’s first year at<br />
the school. Until now she hasn’t<br />
understood the importance of<br />
the family’s historic connection.<br />
“I think she’s just starting to realise<br />
the importance of the school<br />
to the family and she’s making<br />
the most of it,” he said.<br />
The family pulled out all the<br />
stops to get her there.<br />
“We were fortunate enough to<br />
have the opportunity to send her<br />
to the school and she knows it’s a<br />

Short-term<br />
safety<br />
solution for<br />
Chaneys<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THE UPGRADE of Chaneys<br />
Corner will see temporary safety<br />
measure put in place while longterm<br />
signalisation is finalised.<br />
The city council said until the<br />
permanent plans are set in stone,<br />
“short-term safety improvements”<br />
will be used at the Main North,<br />
Marshland and Spencerville Rd<br />
motorway junction.<br />
The city council will have to<br />
take into consideration changes<br />
in traffic flow as a result of the<br />
Northern Corridor work.<br />
It would also take into consideration<br />
other possible developments<br />
in the area.<br />
The budget for the project is<br />
just over $1 million and less than<br />
two per cent has so far been spent<br />
on the investigations so far, city<br />
council head of transport Chris<br />
Gregory said.<br />
The final plan will go out to the<br />
public for consultation in September<br />
or October.<br />
Mr Gregory said it was at this<br />
time that more information would<br />
become available.<br />
TALENTED: Christ’s College band Run77 (above left) and Shirley Boys’ High School’s Fuzhun have made the national final of the<br />
Smokefreerockquest.<br />
Christ’s, Shirley bands to rock finals<br />
BANDS FROM Christ’s College<br />
and Shirley Boys’ High School<br />
will battle it out against the<br />
country’s best in the final of this<br />
year’s Smokefreerockquest.<br />
Christ’s band Run77 and<br />
Shirley’s Fuzhun will compete at<br />
the national final in Auckland<br />
on September 2.<br />
Run77, made up of Angus<br />
Mossman, Robert Rolleston,<br />
Henry Phelps, and brothers<br />
Angus and George Murray, won<br />
the Canterbury final.<br />
Fuzhun’s members include<br />
Gideon Valavala, Tasipale<br />
Valavala, Michael Mose, Loutoa<br />
Osai, Temuera Hay, Josh<br />
Mosa’ati and Keenan Jarvis. The<br />
band won last year’s regional<br />
final.<br />
Bands from across the<br />
country competed in regional<br />
competitions from May to early<br />
July. The regional finalists then<br />
made 12min videos performing<br />
their original music.<br />
Those videos were judged by a<br />
panel made up of New Zealand<br />
musicians. Judge and Silver<br />
Scroll award-winner, Thomas<br />
Oliver, said the music was<br />
unique this year.<br />
“It’s so good to see some really<br />
strong writers ready to make<br />
their way into the New Zealand<br />
music industry.”<br />
The final, where 12 acts will<br />
compete for the title, will be held<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
at Auckland Girls’ Grammar<br />
School. Jono Stewart and Nat<br />
Hutton from Christ’s and St<br />

make the national final, but were<br />
highly commended.<br />

Volleyballer off to US<br />
St Bede’s final<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
THREE YEARS ago Tasmyn<br />
Fahey hadn’t stepped foot<br />
on a volleyball court, but on<br />
Thursday she left for Casper,<br />
Wyoming, in the United States<br />
to start a two-year scholarship<br />
playing the sport she now loves.<br />
The 19-year-old former<br />
Burnside High student will play<br />
for Casper College after being<br />
accepted earlier this year.<br />
But she didn’t always have the<br />
same love for the sport that she<br />
now has.<br />
It took a persistent coach<br />
who eventually tricked her into<br />
attending a training session to<br />
get her interested.<br />
“I have always been tall<br />
and coach Sam Ryburn really<br />
wanted me to give it a go. I<br />
wasn’t interested, but he got<br />
some of my friends to trick me<br />
into coming to training and,<br />
from there, I haven’t looked<br />
back,” Fahey said.<br />
The scholarship pays for<br />
everything, including food,<br />
accommodation and education.<br />
“I am just so excited to play<br />
volleyball over there. I didn’t<br />
think I would reach this level.<br />
I want to travel, play volleyball<br />
and get educated, and this<br />
allows me to do all three. It is<br />
amazing,” she said.<br />
Ryburn said it was a huge<br />
opportunity for Fahey to get<br />
into the top level of one of the<br />
biggest sports in the world.<br />

“The junior colleges give<br />
you really great exposure<br />
and I know she will take<br />
every opportunity thrown<br />
at her,” he said. She follows<br />
other former Burnside High<br />
volleyballers, Nicky Pio and<br />
Petra Manderson, who are both<br />
at junior colleges in Florida.<br />
While Fahey has never been<br />
to the US, she does have an<br />
American connection.<br />
Her father was born in<br />
Pennsylvania before being<br />
adopted by a Kiwi family. Her<br />
SPORTS<br />
mum is from Greymouth.<br />
“I am really interested to<br />
learn more about the African-<br />
American culture, which I will<br />

shot at playoffs<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
ST BEDE’S College have a<br />
chance of making a late bid for<br />
a playoff spot if they can beat<br />
Middleton Grange tomorrow<br />
night and other results go their<br />
way.<br />
St Bede’s sit in fifth position on<br />
the Connetics first XI football<br />
competition table but could<br />
jump into fourth.<br />
However, they would have<br />
to rely on bottom of the table<br />
Rangiora High getting past<br />
fourth placed Cashmere High,<br />
or third placed Burnside High<br />
losing to ninth placed Riccarton<br />
High.<br />
If St Andrew’s College losses<br />
to Christ’s College at 5.45pm, it<br />
could allow St Bede’s to move<br />
into the top four.<br />
However, a draw would keep<br />
St Andrew’s safe from dropping<br />
out.<br />
Rangiora have only won one<br />
game this year and have had<br />
73 goals scored against them,<br />
while Burnside have retained the<br />
Connetics Shield since round<br />
nine.<br />
St Andrew’s are currently<br />
sitting second after beating<br />
Middleton 2-0 last week.<br />
St Bede’s beat Rangiora last<br />
week 5-2 and are now focused on<br />
putting in a good performance<br />

against Middleton at 5.45pm<br />
at the Christchurch Football<br />
Centre, where all league games<br />
are played this year.<br />
Burnside will not want to let<br />
the shield go or drop out of the<br />
top four in the final round. They<br />
take on Riccarton at 4pm.<br />
At 7.30pm, Christchurch Boys’<br />
High will be looking to finish<br />
with a win against top of the<br />
table St Thomas, as will Papanui<br />

Hydrate to elevate<br />
We all know drinking water is important, but the<br />
majority of us simply don’t drink enough even<br />
though we know it makes us feel great when we<br />
do. We look at the benefits and motivate you to<br />
drink more with a few tips on how to make it just<br />
a little more palatable.<br />
With over a quarter of Kiwis consuming<br />
less than two glasses of water a day<br />
and only 5% drinking more than the<br />
recommended eight, the message<br />
obviously hasn’t hit home on the<br />
importance of hydrating our body.<br />
A recent survey conducted by<br />
SodaStream found that Cantabrians are<br />
particularly guilty when it comes to their<br />
water intake.<br />
With 82% drinking less than six<br />
glasses of water a day, but with over 85%<br />
admitting they feel healthier when they<br />
drink more water, something needs to<br />
be done to bridge the gap in terms of<br />
what we know to be true and what we’re<br />
actually doing about it.<br />
This same survey revealed that although<br />
41% of us limit how many soft drinks we<br />
consume due to our concerns over sugar<br />
content, the same number of people said<br />
tea or coffee is their number one drink of<br />
choice.<br />
Some people even believe that the water<br />
consumed in their cup of Joe constitutes<br />
part of their water intake. This is a fallacy.<br />
As caffeine actually dehydrates us, as<br />
does alcohol too, it means we need to<br />
drink even more water to compensate.<br />
Not so surprisingly the reason we don’t<br />
drink nearly enough water is that we<br />
simply forget. Now with apps you can<br />
download direct to your smart phone,<br />
there are no more excuses.<br />
Further studies proved that people<br />
who had a SodaStream machine in their<br />
homes were more likely to drink more<br />
water.<br />
In fact, the study showed that people<br />
drank 30% more water.<br />
For those of us who aren’t used<br />
to drinking water like it’s going<br />
out of fashion, there are plenty of ways<br />
to increase the fun factor while still<br />
being healthy.<br />
After<br />
Before<br />
By simply turning tap water into sparkling water with a<br />
SodaStream machine and adding a splash of fresh lemon<br />
juice or naturally squeezed fruit juice, is bound to have a<br />
positive impact on our health and wellbeing.<br />

GREAT food<br />
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />
Your fresh food people<br />
BAKED PEARS WITH<br />
VANILLA AND BAY LEAF<br />
SYRUP<br />
Ingredients<br />
4 Pears, packham<br />
4 sheets Puff pastry<br />
2 Tbsp Milk<br />
1 Egg<br />
Syrup<br />
1 Vanilla bean<br />
2 Bay leaves<br />
¾ cup Caster sugar<br />
½ cup White wine<br />
½ cup Water<br />
1 Tbsp to serve Cream<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat the oven to 180 deg C.<br />
Line a baking tray with baking<br />
paper.<br />
Peel the pears, leaving on the<br />
stalks, then slice a sliver off the<br />
bottom of each so they sit flat.<br />
Lay one sheet of pastry on<br />
a lightly floured bench. Sit a<br />
pear in the centre and bring the<br />
pastry up around the pear.<br />
Trim the excess, then seal to<br />
ensure the pear is completely<br />
enclosed. Use the excess to make<br />
leaf shapes and press onto the<br />
pastry. Whisk the egg and milk<br />
together then brush all over the<br />
pears.<br />
Bake for approximately 25min<br />
or until golden.<br />
Meanwhile, make the syrup by<br />
putting all the ingredients into<br />
a saucepan and then bring to a<br />
boil.<br />
Stir then let it reduce – this<br />
should take approximately<br />
20min.<br />
Serve the pears hot with the<br />
syrup poured over and softly<br />
whipped cream on the<br />
side.<br />
VENISON STEAKS WITH<br />
KUMARA AND PARSNIP<br />
BAKE<br />
Ingredients<br />
50g Butter<br />
500g Orange kumara, peeled<br />
500g Parsnips, peeled<br />
2 cloves Garlic, cut into slivers<br />
1 Tbsp Fresh thyme<br />
1 cup Chicken stock, or vegetable<br />
stock, use more if needed<br />
4 Venison, steaks<br />
6 stems Silverbeet, roughly<br />
chopped<br />
1 Tbsp to serve Fruit chutney<br />
Directions<br />
Heat the oven to 190 deg<br />
C. Use half of the measured<br />
butter to grease a medium-sized<br />
ovenproof baking dish.<br />
Cut kumara and parsnip into<br />
3mm thick slices (a mandolin is<br />
useful here).<br />
Layer kumara and parsnip<br />
slices with the garlic, thyme and<br />
remaining butter into the baking<br />
dish finishing with kumara slices.<br />
Carefully pour in the stock and<br />
season.<br />
Cover with baking paper and<br />
foil, place in the oven and bake<br />
for 25min. Remove paper and<br />
foil and bake for a further 25min<br />
until kumara and parsnip are<br />
tender. Heat a large frying pan<br />
over a high heat. Rub venison<br />
steaks with olive oil and season<br />
with freshly ground black<br />
pepper. Place in the hot pan<br />
and pan-fry for 6min, turning<br />
once for medium-rare venison.<br />
Transfer to a warmed plate, cover<br />
loosely with foil then a clean tea<br />
towel and leave to rest for 5min.<br />
Meanwhile, steam silverbeet<br />
until tender, or boil in a little<br />
lightly salted water.<br />
Cut kumara and parsnip bake<br />
into squares and place one on<br />
each of four warmed dinner<br />
plates. Divide silverbeet between<br />
plates and top with a venison<br />
steak. Finish with a good dollop<br />
of chutney.<br />

SCHOOL OPTIONS - early & middle years 2018<br />
Welcome to Casebrook<br />
Intermediate School<br />
Cathedral Grammar<br />
The ideal preparation<br />
Cathedral Grammar is a pre-school<br />
and school with a rich 136 year history<br />
delivering high quality education in the<br />
centre of our city. It is a school with a<br />
strong, Anglican ethos and spiritual heart<br />
that uniquely maximises the benefits of coeducational<br />
and separate gender education<br />
in the one school environment. While the<br />
world has changed beyond the imagining<br />
of our pioneers, the forward-looking<br />
principles of Cathedral Grammar remain<br />
as relevant today as they have ever been:<br />
to provide an exceptional personalised<br />
education that empowers our pupils to lead<br />
successful and fulfilling lives.<br />
Our Board has set a future focussed<br />
strategy and we are currently in the<br />
exciting phase of developing plans to<br />
ensure we anchor a forwardlooking<br />
education within the<br />
illustrious history of the oldest<br />
established independent<br />
primary school in New<br />
Zealand. Our forwardthinking<br />
attitude is clearly<br />
displayed with our fantastic<br />
and unique new playground<br />
on top of the roof of our<br />
multi-award winning Junior<br />
School building. Pippin<br />
Wright-Stow of F3 Design<br />
has created an original and<br />
exciting structure to climb in<br />
and through, which reflects<br />
the shape and form of our<br />
majestic Southern Alps. This is a great<br />
addition to the existing slide off the same<br />
roof space.<br />
In this knowledge era, original thought<br />
is important to us here at Cathedral<br />
Grammar. This requires the ability to<br />
think beyond, to adapt, to change and to<br />
innovate. Our strong academic traditions<br />
are important to us, and so too is every<br />
pupil reaching their full potential, building<br />
their self-confidence and making friends<br />
for life. Our challenge is to find the perfect<br />
balance as we prepare our pupils for life.<br />
Every pupil. Every day.<br />
Come and see what the buzz is about and<br />
what we will provide your child and family.<br />
We look forward to hosting you at our<br />
Open day, or any time that best suits you.<br />
Year 7 & 8 students are a<br />
unique age group that we<br />
specialise in educating. Our<br />
staff and school resources<br />
are all geared for this stage<br />
of personal development<br />
and focus on providing as<br />
a diverse range of learning<br />
opportunities to create a wellrounded<br />
individual.<br />
Our learning environment<br />
is supported by a strong<br />
focus on our school values<br />
of Respect (Whakaute),<br />
Excellence (Panekiretanga)<br />
and Perseverance (Hiringa). Through<br />
these ‘REP’ values we develop within each<br />
student a sense of self worth to realise their<br />
importance as a member of our Casebrook<br />
community.<br />
Our school environment is one where<br />
students are safe and have the confidence<br />
to take risks with their learning. In<br />
this way the students at Casebrook are<br />
supported and encouraged to become selfmotived,<br />
independent learners.<br />
We value the partnership between home<br />
and school. Together we can create an<br />
environment where we foster feelings of<br />
pride and belonging. We are sure you will<br />
enjoy being a part of our community and<br />
I would welcome the opportunity to meet<br />
with you to discuss your child’s future at<br />

DND SHOWBAND returns to the Hornby Club<br />
next Saturday 19th <strong>August</strong>, and by popular<br />
request will include their ABBA tribute set in the<br />
programme!<br />
Christchurch based DnD Showband has been<br />
delighting audiences across the country with<br />
their multi-tribute theme shows for an incredible<br />
ten years. Despite earthquakes, tsunami warnings,<br />
wild fires, and floods they continue to travel the<br />
country - although it may take them a little<br />
longer than in earlier days to reach their<br />
destination! Coming months sees them with<br />
show performances in Blenheim, Hawera,<br />
Waikanae, Levin, Porirua, Ashburton, and<br />
Timaru. Check out their website<br />
www.dndshowband.com for show details.<br />
“We’re rather proud that we get repeat<br />
bookings around the country. The North Island<br />
especially has a huge pool of amazing talent at its<br />
disposal. It’s flattering that an act from<br />
Christchurch is so well received,” said Jo Davern,<br />
DnD manager.<br />
In rehearsal mode for next Saturday’s show at<br />
the Hornby Club, the 6 piece live band has been<br />
busy fine tuning show content, sorting costumes<br />
and tightening up moves.<br />
“It’s not just all about ABBA, we’ve put together<br />
a great play list guaranteed to get everyone up<br />
dancing. And for those who prefer to listen and<br />
watch, our professional tech’s Peter and Amanda<br />
will be out front running our sound and light<br />
systems to ensure it sounds and looks wonderful,”<br />
said Jo.<br />
