BEAUTIFYING: Artist Maxine Burney turning a Chorus communication box into a work of art. 

• By Julia Evans 

A CHORUS communication box 

has become the latest canvas for 

a Bishopdale artist. 

Armed with a paintbrush, 

palette and bright paint Maxine 

Burney has turned the boring 

green power box into the talking 

point of Staines St. 

Mrs Burney came up with the 

idea after the box, outside her 

neighbour’s house, was tagged 

and the graffiti wasn’t removed. 

“I asked Chorus for approval 

to paint the box and sent them a 

plan, it took a couple of months 

but they finally agreed,” she said. 

Although since she was 

formally commissioned by the 

power company, Burney said

to change 

Cranford St 

plans 


BUSINESSES ON Cranford St 

are pleading with the city council 

to change the Northern Arterial 

designs or they will have to shut 

up shop. 

“I’ve told them they’ll have to 

buy our business . . . we’ll have to 

shut our doors, that’s where it’s 

heading,” said Keith Wayman, 

who owns Small World Preschool 

and Nursery with his wife Sue. 

The upgrade will see Cranford St 

widened to four lanes. 

Mr Wayman says businesses on 

the street will struggle if the city 

council removes car parking and 

does not include U-turning bays. 

Mr Wayman has worked with 

the city council to include U- 

turning bays to maintain access 

to businesses along the stretch 

between McFaddens Rd and the 

rural zone. “We just wanted turning 

bays down the end,” he said. 

City council manager planning 

and delivery transport Lynette 

Ellis said the city council is still 

working on the final design. 

“The design team is currently 

engaging with affected stakeholders 

and the final design is yet to 

be confirmed,” she said.

Bid to fix Mairehau’s crash corner 

Residents fear 

next smash 

will be fatal 

• By Andrew King 

RESIDENTS ON a Mairehau 

street believe it’s only a matter of 

time before a child is seriously 

hurt following a number of 

crashes at one of its corners. 

Residents between 59 and 65 

Glenfield Cres have seen plenty 

of people misjudge the corner 

outside their homes. The latest 

incident put a man in hospital 

with serious injuries after he hit 

a parked vehicle in a driveway on 

September 13. 

He had to be cut from the 

vehicle by firefighters and 

resident Dave Parson’s work 

vehicle was badly damaged. 

Bob Autridge, who has lived 

on the street for the past 16 

years, said something needs to 

be done. 

“We need a bloody great big 

sign and some speed bumps put 

in,” he said. “It is only a matter 

of time before some kid on the 

footpath gets it.” 

City council transport 

operations manager Aaron 

Haymes said a report on the 

FED UP: Glenfield Cres residents Neville Amor (left) and Bob 

Autridge have seen numerous crashes on the corner outside 

their properties. 

PHOTOS: ANDREW KING 

latest crash had been received 

from a resident. City council 

staff are investigating some “lowcost 

interventions to make the 

bends more conspicuous”. 

Installing two speed bumps 

would cost about $50,000 but Mr 

Haymes said, at the present time, 

traffic calming initiatives were 

not a high-priority and funding 

was not available for these types 

of schemes. 

Mr Autridge asked the 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board last year to paint yellow 

lines around the corner to 

improve visibility, which they 

did in January. 

Residents say the lines were a 

good start, but more needs to be 

done. 

In June, a woman failed to take 

the corner and ended up on the 

front lawn of the property next

BAD CORNER: A vehicle 

hit the kerb on September 

13 and smashed into Dave 

Parson’s vehicle on his 

driveway. 

door to resident Neville Amor’s 

house. 

Before that crash, he said 

another person had actually hit 

the power pole. 

In 2012, two men in a “soupedup 

Subaru” came around the 

corner and smashed into a 

container on Mr Amor’s front 

lawn. 

“They moved the container 

about 20cm, so they must have 

hit it quite hard,” he said. 

In Brief 

TURF UPGRADES 

Westminster Park turf is set to be 

upgraded by the city council. But 

first it is working on the drainage in 

the park as part of a city-wide flood 

remediation effort. The city council 

said the work will need to be 

prioritised ahead of any sports field 

renewal. •St Albans Park delays,

many hearing aids over 

the years but I am totally 

sold on my present 

hearing aids. They are the 

best yet and you hardly 

know you are wearing 

them. I hear sounds I 

have not heard for many 

years" says Doug. Doug 

found the service 

"fantastic" and "the whole 

process and follow-ups 

were excellent, friendly, 

and informative." 

Les Singer of Hokitika is 

another very satisfied 

client since 1995. Les lost 

his hearing many years 

ago and has worn a 

number of hearing aids 

over the years with each 

model better than the 

previous one. Wearing 

hearing aids helps Les 

communicate and 

understand 

conversations, particularly 

with his wife, family, and 

grandchildren. Hearing 

aids has improved quality 

of life and reduced stress 

for all concerned. Les is 

very happy with the 

excellent service provided

Traffic danger for children 

St Albans 

resident 

and mother 

Rachel 

Donaldson 

writes about 

the danger 

traffic in the 

suburb is putting children in 

FOR THE last five years I have 

walked my children to and from 

school but I never meant to 

continue escorting them. 

After a certain age, once they 

were clear on stopping, looking and 

listening, I felt confident that like 

my own childhood, I would just 

say goodbye to them at the door 

and they would go without me. 

The busiest road that they have 

to cross is considered the “gold 

standard” of intersections. 

It is a signal operated intersection 

at the junction of Cranford 

and Berwick Sts in St Albans. The 

green man tells you when to cross 

accompanied by a loud buzzer. 

We all know them. 

However, for the last five years 

I have watched cars run the 

red lights with a frequency that 

increases every week. 

Some days cars will drive 

through the red light at this 

intersection at every single light 

change. 

In the last six months, I have 

seen a child clipped by the wing 

mirror of a car that crossed 

through the intersection while 

the green man was going and this 

was the tipping point. 

My road safety advice to my 

children has changed from “waiting 

for the green man” to “even 

when the green man flashes up 

and the buzzer is going, always 

double check that someone isn’t 

going to come through anyway 

and stand back against the fence 

while waiting to cross due the 

phenomenal speed that cars are 

travelling at.” 

I have no confidence that drivers 

will obey the road rules when 

they see schoolchildren crossing 

at an intersection where there is a 

very clear stop/go signal. 

Instead, I have taught my children 

to be the second-guessers, to 

be the defensive pedestrians, not 

to expect that an adult driving 

a car will have more road sense 

than them, a seven and a nineyear-old. 

This selfish driving behaviour 

led to my getting signs made and 

put up – not only at the Cranford 

and Berwick Sts intersection but 

at the other major intersection 

that is used by St Albans School 

children, the Cranford and Westminster 

Sts intersection. 

This crossing not only meets 

the “gold standard” of intersections 

but St Albans School, for 

the last eight years, has paid 

(from their own, extremely 

limited education budget) a lady 

to monitor and guide children 

through the intersection due to 

the sheer number of red lightrunners 

that drive this section of 

road every single day. 

And still St Albans residents 

and school parents wait for the 

city council that moves at glacial 

speed to do something about the 

lack of signage along Cranford St 

to let drivers know that over 600 

children go to St Albans school 

and use this road to get home 

every day. 

That in our suburb there are 

almost 1000 children on the 

move. 

As I watch the Northern Corridor 

inching closer and closer to 

completion and see the impact 

that increased traffic flows are going 

to have on pedestrians along 

Cranford St, I know that I will be 

walking my kids to school and 

back for the foreseeable future. 

Readers also respond 

to the article about city 

council ordering that 

the signs discouraging 

dangerous driving in St 

Albans be taken down 

Ray Derry – Good on Duncan 

Webb for supporting Rachel 

Donaldson and her signage. Here 

is a member of the public trying 

to protect people from speeding 

drivers and the city council go 

the opposite way and order the 

removal of the signs. The city 

council and the complainant 

need to get some common sense. 

Allan Visser – I would like to 

voice my view which is this: I believe 

the city council was wrong 

in taking the “St Albans children 

matter slow down” signs. I am 

so angry that it has done this 

as I think they are great signs, 

DANGER: 

Rachel 

Donaldson 

made signs 

to address 

speeding 

and 

dangerous 

driving in 

St Albans. 

and I am sure that drivers have 

taken notice of them. The biggest 

reason these signs were put up is 

there is no lights or signs to indicate 

to drivers to slow down to 

30km/h as there is a school in the 

area. Sure there is English Park 

there but a lot of schoolchildren 

walk through its car park to get 

to Cranford St and then to get 

home. This is something important 

the city council should be 

doing something about, therefore 

those signs were a great incentive. 

Besides Cranford St is very busy 

at the time when children come 

out of school, just like rush hour. 

So if you ask me, I think the city 

council wants the children to be 

killed. It seems the city council 

doesn’t care about life, instead 

it only cares about money. I 

say: “Let us forget money, and 

concentrate on saving lives.” That 

should be on the top of its list.

Readers respond to the 

article about a stoush 

between Papanui-Innes 

Community Board 

member John Stringer 

(right) and city councillor 

Aaron Keown over the 

importance of upgrades to 

the Gardiners, Breens and 

Harewood Rds intersection 

Glenda Hicks – I am one if 

those who has contacted Aaron 

Keown some time ago. I wait 

daily for some evidence of a city 

council response. I live off Gardiners 

Rd between Harewood 

and Sawyers Arms Rds. I use the 

intersection daily. Until earlier 

this year, I commuted to Lincoln 

via Johns Rd. It is utter nonsense 

for John Stringer to opine that 

the well-designed new roundabout 

arrangement on Johns Rd 

is more dangerous than having 

to cross the four lanes on Harewood, 

Gardiners and Breens Rds 

corner with no assistance whatsoever. 

Frustration here causes 

people to take risks or have to 

turn left and take the nearest U- 

turn to get onto the other side. 

Mr Keown is undoubtedly representing 

the interests of his area. 

Mr Stringer is not, and should 

not interfere. Anything that the 

local media can do to hasten action 

on this traffic hazard would 

be appreciated. 

Graeme Wood – We live 

not far from the Harewood, 

Breens, Gardiners Rds intersection 

and try to avoid most turns 

from this dangerous intersection. 

I would suggest the powers 

to be place temporary cameras 

to see what happens at this site. 

The police would have a field day 

at the amount of motorists that 

fail to stop at the compulsory 

stop signs, and the drivers who 

play Russian roulette to get from 

Breens to Gardiners and vice 

versa (four lanes, two each way). 

Clare reilly - DanCe of life 

If the city council can put traffic 

lights on Sawyers Arms Rd outside 

Northlands Shopping Centre, 

then they should get their 

priorities right an install them at 

Harewood, Breens and Gardiners 

Rds. The Harewood/Russley 

roundabout flows very well and 

controls major traffic. Maybe Mr 

Stringer (above) has a night job 

and sleeps during the day and 

doesn’t see what goes on? 

Phil Millar – So where does 

this John Stringer live? I bet 

it’s not near the intersection. I 

challenge him to come down to 

this intersection any working 

day of the week and spend two 

hours in the morning from 

7-9am and from 3-6pm. It is 

obvious that he has an eyesight 

problem or is in denial about 

the safety of this intersection. 

Where was he when Aaron 

Keown had the meeting on the 

corner earlier in the year? 

In Clare Reilly’s new exhibition, ‘Dance of Life’ she expresses the resilience and tenacity to keep finding 

joy and beauty in the natural surroundings. Especially in the hard times, when confronted by the big 

challenges in life, that we must all pass through at some stage. 

There are events, such as the death of a loved one, that can turn our lives upside down. Finding strength 

in nature can help us to stay connected and grounded and bring a sense of being part of the dance of life. 

These paintings are meditations on the quiet moments, where we can 

step away from everyday stress and become fully present and find a 

sense of peace. 

They are an invitation to breathe in the moment and dance with life. 

•From page 1 

But in August a notice turned 

up in letter boxes, which showed 

on-street parking being lost, as 

well as a shared footpath and 

cycleway going past. 

The notice stated 

work was going to 

start the next month 

and Mr Wayman said 

he was not aware any 

of this was happening. 

“I mentioned it to 

[other businesses] 

and they didn’t know 

anything either,” he 

said. 

Mr Wayman has 

since been battling 

the city council over lack of 

consultation, with the support of 

other businesses, including the 

Cranford Ale House. 

Ms Ellis said consultation was 

under taken through the “notice 

of requirement” process. 

The business owners concerns 

do not stop there. 

Mr Wayman said they’re very 

worried congestion in the area is 

going to increase exponentially.

they are, it’s only going to be a 

matter of time before a cyclist 

or pedestrian is hurt or killed, 

he said. 

Papanui city councillor Mike 

Davidson said that is the major 

problem for the 

area. 

“The four-lanes is 

causing the biggest 

issue, it’s just going to 

create more congestion 

along Cranford St and 

into St Albans,” he said. 

Cr Davidson said 

widening the road 

would cause a reduced 

level of service for 

pedestrians and cyclists 

as well as businesses. 

“I didn’t want the motorway 

going through there, but I can’t 

stop it so we’re just trying to find 

the best outcome for everyone,” 

Cr Davidson said.

steady stream of donated 

goods.

equipment, jewellery, 

china, glass, silverware, 

furniture, whiteware 

- in fact pretty much 

anything in good saleable 

condition,” says Sue 

Bramwell, GM Marketing at Nurse Maude, 

“and we can turn it into the funds needed to 

provide hospice palliative care and support 

free of charge to patients and their families 

in the Nurse Maude Hospice.”

SUCCESS: Amy Huang was the dux at Rangi Ruru in 

2016. 

FROM ACTOR James 

Franco to Family Guy 

creator Seth MacFarlane, 

the Rhode Island School of 

Design has produced some 

artistic greats. 

And one day Amy 

Huang, a former Rangi 

Ruru Girls’ School student, 

will be on the list of 

alumni. 

The 19-year-old has 

flown to the United States 

to take up a place in the 

fine arts programme, 

based in Providence. 

Ms Huang will be able 

to cross-register her classes 

against the same offered 

at the Ivy League Brown 

University. 

And the Rhode Island 

school wasn’t her only option 

in the states. 

Ms Huang was also accepted 

into Pittsburgh’s 

Carnegie Mellon University, 

which Andy Warhol 

attended, and she made the 

waiting list for Harvard 

University. 

“The Rhode Island 

School of Design is well 

known and respected for 

its arts faculty, in fact it is 

probably the most prestigious 

university in that area 

of study, so I am thrilled,” 

she said. 

But Ms Huang is fully 

aware it’s not going to 

be an easy ride – she’s 

ready to work hard at 

something she is passionate 

about. 


“I look at this as an investment 

into my future,” 

she said. 

Ms Huang was the dux 

of Rangi Ruru in 2016. 

She plans on studying in 

the US for four or five years 

before she graduates with a 

Bachelor of Fine Arts.

Apology to residents over park repair 

$900k revamp 

set to start in 

November 


ST ALBANS residents who 

have been unable to use their 

neighbourhood park for almost 

seven years have received an 

apology. 

The Papanui-Innes Community 

Board has said sorry for 

the significant delays to the turf 

renewal and pavilion rebuild, 

which has seen the condition 

of St Albans Park deteriorate 

since the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

Although the park’s $900,000 

revamp is set to start in November, 

board chairwoman Ali 

Jones said the delay has been far 

too long and the community 

deserved an apology. 

Nearby residents said the 

renewal couldn’t come soon 

enough. 

Information about the work 

schedule and an apology has 

been sent to the St Albans Residents’ 

Association for the entire 

community. 

Association co-chairwoman 

Emma Twaddell said it will be 

good to see the work finally 

begin. 

“It’s great to hear that it’s 

finally happening, but it is a 

shame it’s taken so long because 

it’s such a well-used community 

space,” she said. Sports groups 

which use the park have not 

been able to play a home game 

this season because the fields are 

in such poor condition. And the 

playground fills with water after 

rain. 

Ms Jones said there were no 

excuses for the delay. 

But it had been caused by a 

lack of funding and city council 

earthquake insurance settlement 

issues. 

“As soon we saw the concerns 

being voiced, saying there were 

no timelines for the St Albans 

Park renewal pavilion rebuild, 

we immediately sought information 

and confirmation from 

city council staff,” Ms Jones said. 

The timeline for the park 

renewal was brought forward 

in the city council’s Long Term 

Plan after a the community 

board voiced its concerns. 

City council staff are currently 

working alongside groups from 

the area to come up with design

playground 

since the park’s 

drainage system 

was damaged in 

the earthquakes.

HUNTER 

concepts which will go back out 

to the community for consultation 

before being approved. 

“When the park is fenced off 

for the work, storyboards will be 

put up so that the community 

can see what and when work 

is happening, and how the 

finished pavilion will look,” Ms 

Jones said.

Chorus box 

•From page 1 

While the neighbourhood 

is tight-knit, Mrs Burney has 

lived there for nine years and 

she said this has brought them 

closer together. 

An artist by trade, Mrs 

Burney has been working from 

her Bishopdale home since the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake 

forced her out of her last place 

of work – the Christchurch 

Arts Centre. 

“I’ve done a few portraits 

from my place but nothing like 

this box,” she said. 

But Mrs Burney said it’s 

been a “very liberating” process. 

“Usually I paint quite small 

and detailed. This is detailed 

but it’s got me painting big,” 

she said. 

Mrs Burney has never had 

such a social job as she said art 

is often quite isolating. 

People in the neighbourhood 

have been stopping to chat, 

tooting their horns as they 

drive by and even inviting her 

in for cups of tea. 

“I’d love to do more, it’s been 

really cool, really fun,” Mrs 

Burney said.

WORDSMITH: Kate Ellis 

speaks to the National Council 

of Women. 

Student’s poem marks 

women’s right to vote 


KATE ELLIS’ poem is about 

empowering women. 

It was particularly significant 

then that the Papanui resident 

and year 12 St Margaret’s 

College student took out the 

Lois Middlemiss Secondary 

SCHOOLS 

School Poetry Award on 

the 124th anniversary of 

women receiving the right to 

vote. 

Kate recited her poem in 

front of the National Council of 

Women at the Kate Sheppard 

Memorial in the central city to 

mark the anniversary. 

We Can – by Kate Ellis 

You can stand – 

But you must be silent. 

You can watch – 

But you must not complain. 

You can experience – 

But you must not learn. 

You can be affected – 

But you cannot vote. 

You can sit and be pretty – 

But you cannot age. 

You can watch it all be taken 

away – 

But you cannot cry for it back. 

You can wait for a change – 

Unless you make it. 

You can stand up and be counted – 

Unless you learn to let them stop 

you. 

You can be strong – 

Unless you let their voices exceed 

yours. 

You can be as loud as you wish – 

So long as your voice can carry 

and teach. 

You can have a say in your 

world – 

So long as you prepare to 

overcome silence. 

You can be who you wish to be – 

So long as you ignore those 

who would take back your 

freedom. 

You can be free – 

If you don’t expect it to be handed 

to you. 

You can be independent – 

If you don’t hold onto the 

expectation of the past. 

You can be a new woman – 

If you vote. 

You can – 

Wait, 

That change, 

What become of it? 

What of difference? 

What of strength? 

The battle did not end it merely 

began with that paper – 

I thought you knew, I thought you 

knew. 

Bodies, piled high, degraded – 

Disrespected on the grounds of 

biology, 

Will she have children? Soon? 

How can she be right either way? 

He is right, 

He lacks the parts, 

He lacks the limitations. 

She is a risk – 

Rise, should you? 

Shout, can you? 

Fight, will you? 

A pretty face, does not dismiss, 

A quick wit, 

A sly grin, 

A love of life and knowledge, 

A purpose 

Feminine strength, 

Not flesh, 

But a mind and a resilience, 

From here to the red hot end.

Cobham’s Disney show 

• By Emily O’Connell 

COBHAM Intermediate 

is currently putting on its 

production of Disney’s The Lion 

King Junior. 

The show, which has a cast of 

80 students, is directed by Impact 

Dance and Stage School tutor 

Mandy Roberts. 

Year 8 pupils Maggie Harris 

and Lily Barrowcliffe both act in 

the production and describe it as 

a “heart-warming, entertaining 

family show which will blow you 

away and take you on a journey 

through the circle of life.” 

The pupils take part in all 

aspects of the show – from performing 

on stage to working in 

teams on make-up, set painting, 

sound, lighting and front-ofhouse. 

THE CITY’S most vibrant public 

art season is fast approaching. 

And to mark the beginning 

of the SCAPE Public Art season 

next month, four north-west 

students will sing as part of 

the New Zealand Secondary 

Students’ Choir. 

Alex Meekings, of Burnside 

High, Holly Evans, of Rangi 

Ruru Girls’ School, Samantha 

Hickford, of Christchurch Girls’ 

High, and Billie MacGibbon, 

of St Margaret’s College, will 

perform with the choir in 

three special concerts from 

•The production is on 

tonight and runs until 

Thursday. Tickets are $20 

per adult and $15 for children 

under the age of 16. Tickets 

can be purchased from the 

school the website – www. 

cobham.school.nz 

Students hit notes in choir 

October 7-8. The first will be 

at the Margaret Mahy Family 

Playground, then St Mary’s 

Pro-Cathedral and finally at the 

Transitional Cathedral’s morning 

service. 

The choir rehearses under the 

direction of Andrew Withington 

and is conducted by Matthew 

Everingham. 

Mr Withington recently 

completed his PhD in choral 

pedagogy at Canterbury 

University while Mr Everingham 

runs the choral programme at St 

Andrew’s College. 

Robots tell shark attack story 

SCHOOLS 


A TEAM of Selwyn House 

pupils is paving the way to a 

robotic future. 

The school’s year 6 robotics 

team of Evelyn King, Sonya Li- 

McHenry, Sophie Schneideman 

and Aria Wakelin took out 

top spot in the junior theatre 

division of the Robocup 

nationals in Dunedin. 

The pupils had to make and 

design robots, which would then 

be programmed to perform a 

piece of theatre. 

Their robots combined to 

tell the story of a woman they 

admire – Bethany Hamilton, a 

professional surfer who survived 

a shark attack but lost her arm in 

the process. 

The story depicted the shark 

attack but went on to celebrate 

her resilience and return to 

surfing. 

Teachers Liz Fairhall and 

Simon Christie helped the pupils 

with their robotics during a class 

unit of inquiry. 

The pupils used Lego EV3 kits 

and Arduino microprocessors to 

create their robots. 

If they found the Lego kits 

did not have a piece they were 

looking for, they designed and 

ROBOTICS: Sonya Li-McHenry, Sophie Schneideman, Aria 

Wakelin and Evelyn King with their winning robots. 

3D-printed their own pieces to 

fit the purpose, allowing them 

to move beyond the kit 

limitations. 

“There is a big need for 

women in science, technology, 

engineering and maths careers 

and Robocup provides a great 

pathway to engage and captivate 

young girls within a tech future,” 

Mrs Fairhall said. 

INQUIRY: The pupils spent 

class time programming their 

robots to tell the tale of surfer 

Bethany Hamilton.

WELLBEING 

FEAST DAY 

Message from the Catholic Diocese 

of Christchurch 

Our Diocese is proud of Marian College. The school is 

thriving at its inner-city campus location alongside the 

Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament on Barbadoes Street. 

Marian College shows us clearly that the heart of a 

Catholic school lies not in its buildings, but in a strong, 

supportive community built around faith. 

Marian College belongs to the Catholic Kāhui Ako 

Community of Learning, one of our 13 schools in 

Christchurch. Each school has an affiliated parish and 

networks contributing to the Diocese. 

Alongside our Diocese earthquake rebuild and repair 

programme, our parishes have been offered the chance to 

focus on spiritual renewal as we wait for a new Bishop 

to be appointed. 

The process for the rebuild of Marian College’s campus 

will be a priority for our new Bishop, who will ultimately 

make the decision on Marian College’s permanent site. 

This decision will not be made in isolation however, 

there are many factors to consider and groups to consult 

with, given the changes in our communities since 

the earthquakes. 

The Diocese looks forward to keeping the community 

updated on progress. In the meantime, Marian College 

continues to achieve excellent results and to thrive. 

A special thank you goes to the Marian College 

community – students, parents, staff and leadership, for 

your ongoing patience, support and cooperation. 

Fr Rick Loughnan 

Catholic Diocese of Christchurch Administrator 

The Marian College Principal 

Marian College is very fortunate to have a small, friendly, 

family atmosphere which comes from teachers and 

students knowing each other well. 

I am delighted to share that our students and teachers are 

making the very best of our current site – opportunities 

for collaboration are plenty and the benefits that come of 

an inner-city location are taken up with enthusiasm. 

At Marian College our special Catholic character is 

built into everything we do. Our earthquake recovery 

journey has taught us, that while brand new buildings and 

facilities are an exciting proposition, it is our faith, our 

community and our people that matter. I am excited about 

the future of Marian College – we can all look forward to a 

bright, sparkling new start. I hope you enjoy reading about 

some of our recent happenings. 

Mary-Lou Davidson, 

Marian College Principal 

Feast Day Festivities 

One of the most anticipated events on the Marian 

College calendar is Feast Day – recognised every year to 

celebrate the Assumption of Mary. This year, Feast Day 

began with a whole school Mass, which included the 

blessing of the new music department, featuring practice 

spaces and a multipurpose room. 

Traditional Feast Day activities involve Marian College’s 

house groups coming together in Xavier Hall to compete 

in a talent quest and house group chant competition. 

Rivalry between the four Marian College houses – 

Brodie, Deans, Seymour and Takahe – is strong and 

overwhelmingly positive. Students have been known to 

rehearse their chants and performances for up to six weeks 

in advance, polishing their acts ready for competition. 

Each performance is judged and awarded house points 

which are tallied throughout the year. The house with 

the most points earned – for academic, sporting, cultural, 

service and cultural achievements – is awarded the annual 

Inter-House Shield at the end of year school prize giving. 

Aiming for France 

Football talent Rebecca Lake (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Irakehu) 

could be heading to France next year to represent New 

Zealand and play in the 2018 U20 Women’s World Cup. 

The Year 13 Marian college student helped captain 

the New Zealand U19 Football team to victory in the 

Oceania Football Confederation championships in 

Auckland recently, securing the team’s spot in France, 

2018. Rebecca captained the team twice over the five 

game campaign which saw the team win all their games 

convincingly. Rebecca is a member of the Football Ferns 

development squad and has played with Mainland Pride 

(the National Women’s regional team) for three years. 

RIA KNEY 

Judo medallist 

Congratulations to Ria Kney (Ngāti Kahungunu) who 

won a gold medal in the U52kg girls category at the New 

Zealand Secondary Schools Judo Tournament last term. 

She won all five of her fights in the one day tournament 

held at Lincoln High School. Ria also won gold in two 

categories at the Auckland International Judo Open 

tournament held three weeks later at ASB Stadium in 

Auckland. One of her fights lasted just ten seconds! 

Wellbeing and service 

A priority for Marian College this year has been student 

and staff wellbeing. This year, Marian has introduced two 

new courses: Kia Maia and Mana Wahine. Kia Maia is a 

course for Year 9 students which focuses on wellbeing, 

character strengths, use of money, cyber safety and 

developing study and life skills. 

The Mana Wahine course aims to promote strong Marian 

women. Especially for year 12 students, the course 

teaches wellbeing, study techniques, life skills, careers, 

financial literacy and service. 

Marian College has a strong commitment to providing 

service to the community. Not only students, but staff 

members are also actively involved. 

Marian College staff members rolled up their sleeves 

recently, to spend an afternoon participating in a range of 

service activities including assisting at Christchurch City 

Mission and St Vincent de Paul, cleaning up a beach, 

gardening for the Beatitude sisters, making goods for 

Christchurch Hospital’s neo-natal unit and other 

children in need. 

Southern Jam 

Marian College’s Jazz Band travelled to the Southern 

Jam Jazz Festival in Blenheim recently – taking part 

in the showcase and celebration of the South Island’s 

secondary school jazz bands. Marian College’s Jazz Band 

performed at eight public venues and took home a bronze 

award. Band director Frances Daly is a Marian old girl 

currently studying at Ara Jazz School. Frances inspired 

the Jazz Band to compose an original song ‘Dirty 

Window’, which won Best Original Song at this year’s 

Christchurch Jazz Festival.

Pool full of medals for St Andrew’s 

SPORTS 


ST ANDREW’S College made a 

huge splash at the New Zealand 

secondary school swimming 


The college crowned best co-ed 

school and the boys’ team came 

second. 

The 16-strong team won a total 

of 31 medals – 12 gold, 13 silver 

and six bronze – at the event in 

Hamilton from September 15-17. 

Each podium finish gave 

the school points, which were 

added up to give them their 

final position at the end of the 

competition. 

School spokeswoman Anj 

Hawkins said there were personal 

bests and medals at the meet, 

an achievement the school is 

proud of. 

“These results are promising. 

It’s very pleasing to see a lot of 

young talent coming through the 

year groups. This no doubt makes 

for some exciting years to come 

for the St Andrew’s College swim 

team,” she said. 

WAKE: Jess Roche (in the pool) barely has time to look up

gold in the mixed 15 and under 200m freestyle relay.

Shave for a cure 

Jesse Northcoat with Hairdresser from Hames Hairdressing 

Congratulations to all those who 

participated in Burnside High School’s 2017 

‘Shave For a Cure’. On Friday the 25th of 

August, a brave group of 20 students shaved 

their hair to raise funds as well as awareness 

for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand. 

This organisation ensures all individuals and 

families who are sadly faced with Leukaemia 

& Blood Cancer are well supported. The 

Left to right: Akshat Goyal, Josiah Edwin, Ryan Worsley 

shave took place at lunchtime creating a 

supportive atmosphere with many students 

helping out. Large support from Burnside 

High School’s community saw the team raise 

over $5,900! A huge thanks goes to Hames 

Hairdressing, Gray Ryburn, Jess Cliffe and 

all the helpers for allowing this event to be 

a success! Burnside High School is looking 

forward to ‘Shave For a Cure’ 2018! 

Table Tennis 

Both our Boys and Girls Table Tennis teams 

competed this year in the NZ Secondary 

Schools Championships held in Palmerston 

North. The Boys won the Open A grade, 

beating Auckland Grammar in the final. The 

Girls won the Girls grade, beating Macleans 

College in the final. 

This is the first time our Table Tennis teams 

have attended the National tournament, and 

possibly the first time in the history of this 

tournament that one school has taken out both 

titles.

NZ call-up for college captains 


ST ANDREW’S hooker Shilo 

Klein and Christ’s College centre 

Isaiah Punivai have been named 

in the New Zealand Schools 

team. 

Klein and Punivai both 

captained their sides in the UC 

Championship campaign and 

caught the eye of national selectors. 

Only five South Islanders 

have been included in the New 

Zealand Schools side set to play 

three matches next month. 

St Andrew’s sports co-ordinator 

Rod McIntosh said it was a 

well-deserved call up. 

“He is a pretty special kid who 

set goals at the start of the year 

and has achieved them,” he said. 

The New Zealand Schools Barbarian 

side has also been named 

and included Christchurch Boys’ 

High halfback Louie Chapman 

and fullback/first-five Rico Syme, 

as well as Christ’s College prop 

Patrick Thacker. 

Thacker, Punivai and Chapman 

all have one more year of 

secondary school to go, giving 

them a rare opportunity to be 

selected in either team again next 

year. 

New Zealand Schools takes 

on Fiji Schools on Thursday, the 

Australian Schools Barbarians 

on Monday and the Australian 

Schools on October 7. All games 

will be played in Sydney. 

The New Zealand Barbarians 

Schools will meet Tonga Schools 

on Monday and the New Zealand 

Maori under-18s on October 

7 in Palmerston North. 

Jones in camp for NZ’s age 

group World Cup challenge 

St Andrew’s College 

student Matt Jones has 

been selected in the 

New Zealand team to 

compete at the under-17 

World Cup in India next 

month. Jones was in the 

under-17 team which 

competed at the Oceanic 

Football Confederation 

championship where they 

won the title and qualified 

for the World Cup. The 

team left for India on Friday.

GREAT food 

BROUGHT TO YOU BY... 

Your fresh food people 

SPRING ONION PANCAKES 

Ingredients 

250g Plain flour, plus extra for 

dusting 

80 ml Boiling water 

70 ml Cold water 

2 Tbsp Vegetable oil 

1 bunch Spring onion, finely 

chopped 

1 tsp Sesame seeds 

Directions 

Put the flour in a bowl and 

add the boiling water, stirring 

with chopsticks. This is called 

‘burning’ the flour. Give it a mix 

and once it has cooled enough, 

continue mixing with your hands. 

Add the cold water, a quarter at 

a time, and continue mixing. 

When mixed thoroughly, take 

the dough out of the bowl and 

knead on a flour-covered bench. 

You may need to add more flour 

as you knead. Continue kneading 

until the dough is shiny and your 

hands and the bench are clear of 

dough. 

Roll the dough into a ball and 

place in a bowl covered with cling 

film. Seat aside for about half an 

hour. Take a piece of dough about 

the size of your fist and roll it out 

on the bench into a circle about 

15cm in diameter. Spread some 

vegetable oil over the dough, then 

sprinkle over the chopped spring 

onion. Sprinkle over the sesame 

seeds. 

Roll the pancake into a tight 

cylinder, then coil it around into 

a circle (like a caterpillar rolling 

itself into a circle). With a rolling 

pin, flatten this circle into a 

pancake again. 

Add oil to your frying pan and 

heat to a medium-high heat. Add 

the pancake to the frying pan and 

fry until golden, then flip and 

cook the other side until golden 

and crisp. Serve as a side dish 

with chilli oil or chilli sauce or 

your favourite Asian-inspired dip. 

Also great at breakfast time. 

APPLE AND PORK MINCE 

PINWHEELS 

Ingredients 

500g Pork mince 

2 tsp Sesame oil 

1 tsp Chicken stock, powder 

1 tsp Celery salt 

2 tsp Fennel seeds 

2 Tbsp Fresh parsley 

1 tsp Fresh dill 

2 cloves Garlic 

1 Onion 

½ Ambrosia Apple, finely diced 

with skin on 

2 Eggs, one for egg wash 

750g Flaky puff pastry, ready 

rolled 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 180 deg C 

fan bake. 

Combine the first 10 

ingredients in a bowl. 

Mix in one egg. 

Divide mixture evenly onto 

four sheets of pastry, taking care 

to ensure you leave some space 

on each edge (about 2.5cm) for 

easy rolling. 

Lightly beat remaining egg for 

egg wash and brush the edges to 

help seal the pinwheel. 

Roll each sheet from the long 

end and cut each into four 

pinwheels with a sharp knife. 

Place on baking paper on 

oven tray and egg wash the 

pinwheels. 

Sprinkle on sesame seeds. 

Bake for 30min until golden.

Melanoma Deadlier 

Than Road Fatalities 

Summer is around the corner, and it brings with it the 

temptation for some to “pre-tan” using artificial UV 

tanning equipment; but is it really worth the risk? 

More people die from melanoma 

each year than are killed 

annually in road crashes. 

This statistic was part of 

a comprehensive submission made to 

parliament’s Health Select Committee which 

is considering outlawing sunbeds for people 

under the age of 18 years. 

The submission was made by Accuro 

Health Insurance, established in the 1970s as 

a private insurer for the public health sector. 

Today it trades as a private health insurer 

with a widespread, general membership. 

Accuro, in supporting the submission 

made by the New Zealand Dermatological 

Society, pointed to a New Zealand Cancer 

Society figure of 324 deaths from melanoma 

in 2010. According to the NZ Road Transport 

Agency there were 253 road deaths for the 12 

months to February 2014 and 303 for the 12 

months to February 2015. 

In highlighting the figure, CEO Geoff 

Annals emphasised the serious nature of 

the disease and his submission drew the 

committee’s attention to the financial, social 

and personal costs of skin cancer. 

He quoted Cancer Society figures which 

report that New Zealand, along with 

Australia, has amongst the highest melanoma 

rates in the world. In 2010 melanoma was 

the fourth most common cancer with 2,341 

registered cases and the sixth most common 

cause of death from cancer. 

The Cancer Society further reports that 

skin cancer currently costs this country 

about $123 million annually. 

Geoff Annals says research by the Centre 

for Disease Control showed the introduction 

of seat belts reduced serious crash related 

injuries and deaths by about half and banning 

artificial UV tanning services is warranted 

on the same public health grounds as the 

compulsory seat belt legislation. 

While Accuro’s submission related to a ban 

for people under 18 years, it supports the 

introduction of a total ban on commercial 

artificial UV tanning. 

“As a health insurer grounded in the public 

health sector, we are strongly committed 

to supporting the effectiveness of publicly 

funded health services and better health 

outcomes for all New Zealanders,” Geoff 

Annals says. 

A leading New Zealand dermatologist, Dr 

Louise Reiche, who also made submissions 

to the Health Select Committee, says she’s 

treating many young people, especially 

women in their 20s and 30s, with melanomas 

resulting from commercial sunbed exposure. 

She says clients typically lie naked on 

their sunbeds and expose skin to radiation 

emitted from UV lamps which can be up to 

13 times greater than the peak summer sun. 

She’s now treating people with cancer of the 

genital skin which is more vulnerable to skin 

cancer development. 

“The medical profession is run off their 

feet with people presenting themselves with 

skin cancers causing the public health system 

to be overwhelmed,” Dr Reiche says. 

“The waiting list is three to four months 

for urgent cases and, during the delay, the 

cancers are growing. This results in poorer 

health outcomes and more complex and 

expensive procedures.” 

Geoff Annals quoted Cancer 

Society figures which report 

that New Zealand, along 

with Australia, has amongst 

the highest melanoma 

rates in the world. In 2010 

melanoma was the fourth 

most common cancer with 

2,341 registered cases and 

the sixth most common 

cause of death from cancer.

VINTAGE TWIST ON 

MODERN POP SONGS 

THE sensational Scott 

Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox 

returns to the Isaac eatre 

Royal this Sunday! 

Furnishing a vintage twist 

on modern pop songs, the 

New York based collective is 

back in NZ by popular 

demand following two 

successful tours over the last 

two years. 

Created by Scott Bradlee, the 

rotating collective of 

Postmodern Jukebox has spent 

the past few years amassing 

more than 600 million YouTube views and 2+ 

million subscribers, performed on “Good 

Morning America,” topped iTunes and Billboard 

charts and played hundreds of shows to packedhouse 

crowds around the world. As NPR put it, 

they've done this by “taking current Top 40 hits 

and re-imagining them as coming from older 

eras of popular music.” 

The mastermind behind the group, Scott 

Bradlee has turned Postmodern Jukebox into a 

juggernaut by building an incredible grassroots 

movement around the act. He continues to pick 

the songs, create the arrangements and shows, 

and puts together the performers - which 

includes some notable names alongside 

phenomenal "undiscovered" talent. e group 

releases a new video every week, each one shot

Postmodern Jukebox is certainly a rebuke to 

the contention that 'they don't make 'em like 

they used to' - and there's something truly 

special about witnessing their musical magic 

live. 

To echo Bradlee's own invitation: “Dust off 

the turntable, fix yourself a stiff drink, and get 

comfy. Welcome to the world of Postmodern 

Jukebox.” 

Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox performs 

at the Isaac eatre Royal this Sunday night.

Join us at one of Christchurch’s largest events 

If you’ve been searching for the perfect occasion for you 

and your friends to get together, then here it is. The annual 

Women’s Lifestyle Expo is back in Christchurch once more 

with their biggest Expo yet. 

Variety of companies involved – 

something for everybody 

With over 200 sites to browse, 

unique businesses to discover, 

shopping, bargains and laughter, 

the Expo is the ultimate day out 

for every woman and all ages. 

One of the appeals the Expo 

has to visitors is the variety 

of companies involved with 

everything from bamboo tooth 

brushes to gourmet vodka. 

Renee Murray from NZME 

Events, organiser of the Expo 

says “Our aim is to have as wide 

of a range of companies involved 

with the Expo as possible. 

Women are all different and their 

individual interests are so diverse. 

One woman may love the latest in 

makeup or is looking for childcare 

options but the woman beside her 

may be more interested in sampling 

handmade cheese or discovering 

travel and cultural experiences. 

It’s great on the weekend to see 

all the various women visit the 

show, from teenagers to business 

women, mothers to grandmothers 

and friends simply enjoying each 

other’s company. It’s becoming 

more common for us to see three 

generations visit the Expo together as 

well, with the daughter, mother and 

grandmother all enjoying the show and 

spending the day with each other.” 

Featuring lots of new companies and 

everything from fashion and accessories 

to travel, giftware, fantastic food and 

wine, crafts, unique businesses, 

beauty, eco-friendly products, 

education, community groups and 

so much more – what interests the 

modern woman will be at the Expo. 

Take time for yourself; Have a Mother–Daughter day out or grab 

the girlfriends and head to the Women’s Lifestyle Expo on this 30th 

September & 1st October at Horncastle Arena. Door Sales only $10.

Be Pampered at the Expo 

This year the Expo will feature several 

pamper lounges where visitors can stop 

and spoil themselves with everything 

from eyelash extensions to a relaxing 

foot massage. The Style Mystic Hair 

Lounge will be a popular destination for 

Expo visitors – take a seat and let the 

team spoil you with a new style, haircare 

advice or an eyelash treatment. The 

Southern Reflexology Group will have a 

large Reflexology & Relaxation Lounge 

for visitors to put their feet up, have a 

mini treatment on site and experience the 

healing properties of reflexology. 

Sparklewhite Teeth will be offering teeth 

whitening treatments and beauty therapy 

sessions onsite. Your Expo experience 

won’t be complete until you visit the 

Moisture Mist Makeup Lounge where not 

only will you find these Shiseido brands 

at great prices, but the team onsite will 

be offering makeovers to Expo visitors. 

Find out the best colours and products 

to suit your own individual needs and 

leave the Expo feeling like a new woman! 

Grab a Goodie Bag Bargain 

Only available for purchase at the Women’s Lifestyle Expo, these goodie 

Bags are perfect for expo visitors who love a bargain. They are a mystery 

bag including a scarf, mascara and variety of skincare and cosmetic 

products and more. Priced at only $20, these bags are sure to be a hit

Enjoy unique shopping to be found at Women’s Expo 

With over 200 companies involved, it will be one of the 

largest events held in the region and organisers expect many 

thousand women to visit the Expo over the two days. 

Renee Murray from Expo 

Organisers, NZME Events says 

“We will be bringing a fabulous 

experience to the women of 

Canterbury for one weekend. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to see 

so many wonderful companies and 

do lots of shopping under the one 

roof. Aside from having the best of 

local companies exhibiting at the 

Expo we have a large number of 

national companies who will travel 

to Christchurch from all around 

New Zealand especially to show 

local women their products. This 

is a great chance for women to 

stop, relax and spoil themselves 

for one weekend”. 

Brandhouse will return to the 

Expo again with their range of 

champagne, vodka, port and 

wines. Popular last year was 

the Royal Dragon’s elite flavour 

vodka collection with some 

flavours selling out. Introducing 

the most tantalizing and unique 

flavoured vodka collection of its 

time, flavours include Watermelon, 

Green Apple, Passion Fruit, 

Chocolate and Lychee… a 

great vodka collection to enjoy 

neat, on the rocks or in your 

favourite cocktail! Visit the large 

Brandhouse site at the show to 

sample from their fabulous range and 

take home what you love. 

A new exhibitor to the show is The Lip 

Lounge, a new Christchurch based 

business that can help you customize 

your own lipstick in your favourite 

shade. You can even bring in your 

favourite lipstick that may have been 

deleted or you want to replicate and 

you can watch the girls at The Lip 

Lounge mix and create your perfect 

shade right in front of you. 

A popular section of the show is 

the large Artisan Craft Zone. With 

some favourite companies appearing 

every year and new companies 

featuring, it’s the perfect spot to 

find original crafts and creations. 

Crafter Alexander will travel to 

the show all the way from Marton 

in the North Island to showcase 

his range of handcrafted wooden 

kitchen planters. These have 

sold out at the past two Expos so 

Alex is looking forward to seeing 

the feedback from Christchurch 

visitors. 

Make sure you stop by the Artisan 

Craft Zone at the show and meet 

some talented small businesses.
