Red light runners risk pupil safety 

• By Julia Evans 

RED LIGHT runners are putting 

primary school pupils at risk. 

Shirley Primary School, the city 

council and the police are acting 

quickly after fears for pupils 

safety when crossing Shirley Rd. 

There is a signalised pedestrian 

crossing outside the school but 

red light runners have caused 

serious concern. 

Deputy principal Sandra 

Jamieson said it’s only a matter 

of time before a pupil is hurt. 

“It’s not a matter of if someone 

gets injured. It’s when,” she said. 

An urgent meeting was held 

between school staff, city council 

parking enforcement staff and 

traffic engineer Penny Gray, 

members and staff from the 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board, the police and parents 

last Wednesday to discuss ways 

to improve safety. 

Community board chairwoman 

Ali Jones said off the back 

of the meeting, the group came 

away with seven action points. 

“The school is not that obvious, 

it actually looks like a big 

office block . . . if drivers 

are aware there are 

children in the area they 

will slow down,” Ms 

Jones said. 

Plans likely to be 

implemented include 

a sign that warns of 

children in the area, increased 

police presence, 

increased city council 

enforcement and pupils carrying 

flags as they cross the road. 

Sandra 

Jamieson 

Mrs Jamieson said they were 

also looking at having a longer 

waiting time between the 

light changing red and the 

crossing turning green. 

“It will be a combined 

effort. The sign, police 

enforcing, city council enforcing 

and also someone 

suggested the children 

holding flags as they cross 

the road like they already 

do at 

St Albans Primary,” Ms Jones 

said. 

A full safety audit by the city 

council, of traffic from Hills Rd 

to The Palms Shopping Centre 

has also begun. Although ideas 

such as a flashing 40km/h signs 

outside the school were also 

proposed but is unlikely to go 

ahead. 

But due to traffic congestion 

along Shirley Rd after school, 

Mrs Jamieson said it wasn’t so 

much an issue of speed as red 

light running. 

Ms Jones said changes would 

be in place within four weeks. 

Back to the 

future for 

new school 

Haeata Community 

College might be only 

six-months-old but 

it is relying on an old 

favourite to motivate 

students. Instead of a 

buzzer or bell to start 

classes, Bob Marley 

music plays instead.

HOW TIMES have changed. 

Reporter Sarla Donovan reports 

today (pages 6-7) on Haeata 

Community College six months 

after it opened. The school, an 

amalgamation of Aranui High 

and Aranui, Avondale and 

Wainoni primary schools – is full 

of innovation and newness. 

I remember Aranui High during 

my days there as being innovative. 

Great teachers who thought outside 

of the square and encouraged us to 

do the same. 

They also encouraged us to 

play basketball well, which was a 

bonus to the hard graft of getting 

through English, history, and 

other classes. 

Back then we had a buzzer that 

alerted us it was time to put the 

basketball away and go to class. 

The buzzer has now gone and Bob 

Marley music plays instead. 

My old school mates would 

have been very happy with that.

Brighton fridge offers free food 

• By Sarla Donovan 

FREE FOOD is about to be 

given away in New Brighton. 

Waimairi Beach’s Trudy 

Burrows is behind the project, 

which opens on June 27 and 

was inspired after she saw 

a newspaper article about a 

successful trial run in central 

Auckland last year. 

The free food fridge will offer 

food donated by members of the 

public, cafes and supermarkets. 

It will all be free to those who 

need it. 

“I just felt it’s the right thing 

to do. There’s so much hunger in 

the world, it’s hard to think how 

one can make a difference, so 

you end up doing nothing, and 

that’s what I often do. But this 

seemed easy. I started step-bystep 

and the doors just opened. 

The community’s been right 

behind it, everyone’s been so 

supportive.” 

Mrs Burrows said the city 

council liked the idea and were 

interested in starting one in the 

city, but she was determined 

that New Brighton was the right 

community to do it in. 

“For me, it had to be Brighton 

first; I guess because I live here, 

my passion is here.” 

FOOD: Trudy Burrows in the shed which will house a free food 

fridge and pantry outside St Faith’s Church, New Brighton, 

from June 27. 

PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS 

The fridge, in the grounds of 

St Faith’s Church on Hawke St 

will be open 12 hours a day. 

People can donate canned or 

unopened dry goods or surplus 

fresh fruits and vegetables from 

their gardens. Local cafes and 

supermarkets are encouraged 

to bring down excess food at 

the end of the day. “Muffins, 

quiches, sandwiches things like 

that.” 

It’s housed in a new cedar-clad 

shed that’s just been assembled 

by her husband and son who 

is a builder. The fridge will be 

donated by Skope. 

Mrs Burrows is still 

fundraising to pay for the cost of 

the shed, but said businesses had 

donated small things which had 

really helped, like bricks, pens 

and paper bags. 

“Just things you don’t think of 

but they all add up.” 

She has applied to the Coastal- 

Burwood Community Board 

for a grant and is also on the 

hunt for volunteers to help with 

checking stock. 

Everyone is welcome to take 

what they need from the fridge – 

no questions asked. 

“Take what you need. Leave 

what you don’t.” 

•You can support the food 

fridge at the open day on 

Tuesday, June 27, 1pm, at 

St Faith’s Church, cnr Shaw 

Ave and Hawke St, New 

Brighton. 

In Brief 

RICCARTON MARKET 

WON’T CLOSE 

An article on plans for New 

Brighton’s future in the Pegasus 

Post on May 30 said the Riccarton 

market was closing. This was 

incorrect. The Riccarton Rotary 

Club, which has run the market for 

29 years, said it holds a secure lease 

over the property at Riccarton 

Park Raceway which extends well 

into the 2020s and the market will 

continue to operate “for years to 

come.” We apologise for the error. 

MONEY FOR 360 TRAIL 

The mayor has recommended 

the city council bring forward 

$416,160 in capital expenditure to 

enable the South Brighton estuary 

edge section of the 360 Trail 

walking track to be completed. 

The trail is about 135km long and 

links up many existing tracks and 

urban routes. The expenditure is 

expected to be met from other projects 

and will not impact on rates. 

FOOTPATH REPAIRS 

Work has begun to reseal one 

side of the footpath on Pages Rd 

between Anzac Dr and the Pages 

Rd bridge. The footpath on the 

other side will be patched up. A 

permanent fix will be on the cards 

when the bridge is rebuilt between 

2021 and 2023.

Erosion fear for domain 


A PROPOSED 190m stopbank 

adjacent to Bridge St will reduce 

flood levels in South Brighton 

but there are questions over 

whether it will stop the swift 

rate of erosion in South Brighton 

Domain. 

Adam Perry, who has lived in 

the area for 43 years, has written 

to the Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board about the speed 

of deterioration 

along the estuary 

edge of the 

domain. 

The earthquakes 

caused 

significant land 

Adam Perry 

drop, destroying 

much of the existing 

gabion basket protection. 

Heavy rains in April have sped 

up the process, Mr Perry says, 

threatening to wash away new 

planting. 

“The school, campground 

and more are at risk from the 

next winter storm. Before all the 

hours of community planting 

gets washed away, can we please 

have some action,” he told the 

Pegasus Post. 

Mr Perry’s concerns are 

echoed by community board 

member Tim Sintes. 

“Water at high tide is getting 

into soft sand and eating it 

quickly. What I thought would 

take six months has happened 

in just one. If we don’t do something, 

the rate of erosion is going 

to keep speeding up.” 

In some places, the estuary 

edge had receded up to 12m, he 

said. 

Head of strategic policy at the 

city council, Helen Beaumont, 

said the repairs to the boardwalk 

and jetty in South New Brighton 

Park included erosion protection 

for those facilities. 

“A new, short length of stopbank 

is (also) proposed adjacent 

to Bridge St to fill a low point 

in the existing topography. 

The proposed stopbank will be 

constructed in the vicinity of the 

existing estuary edge footpath. 

These works will not alleviate all 

flood risk to South New Brighton 

area, but it will reduce flood 

levels.” 

The proposed stopbank is currently 

in the design and consenting 

stage, she said. 

“The city council plans to enact 

the works within the next six 

months, but this is dependent on 

successful application of resource 

consent.” 

“The bund is approximately 

190m long, with a maximum 

height of approximately 850mm 

(typically between 400mm and 

CONCERN: 

Plans to stop 

estuary-causing 

erosion at 

South Brighton 

Domain may 

not be enough, 

locals say. 

700mm) and a crest width of approximately 

1m.” 

Mr Perry questioned where the 

proposed new stopbank would 

start and stop. 

“There needs to be protection 

all the way along to the jetty. 

What’s the plan for the exposed 

bit in between? It doesn’t sound 

sufficient.” 

Tim Sintes said gabion baskets 

destroyed in the earthquakes 

should be rebuilt. 

“I want to see the protection 

reinstated as it was. We know it 

worked; why not fix it? There’s 

examples of baskets that didn’t 

slump and they are working 

beautifully.” 

In Brief 

CLOCK REPAIRS 

The New Brighton clock tower 

will be fully repaired by summer, 

with work expected to begin in 

spring. A detailed engineering 

evaluation has been completed 

which notes the structural and 

cosmetic repairs required, such 

as rust staining, and a full scope 

of repair and restoration work is 

currently under way. 

BOY RECEIVES TRIKE 

A Parklands boy has received 

funding from the Mazda 

Foundation to purchase 

a specialised trike. Mikey 

Lavender, 11, who has down 

syndrome, received $1399 in 

funding for the trike, which will 

enable him to build strength and 

cognitive ability, and allow him 

to go bike riding with his family 

in nearby Bottle Lake Forest. The 

Mazda Foundation is funded 

through a contribution from the 

sale of every new Mazda in New 

Zealand. 

DANCER GETS GRANT TO 

GO TO NATIONAL SCHOOL 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board has given Parklands ballet

Your Local Views 

Brighton’s green future 

Treaty educator 

and Green Party 

candidate for 

Christchurch 

east, Cathy 

Sweet, believes 

New Brighton 

has all the ingredients 

to become a magnet for 

ecotourism 

The locals know about it and 

that’s why we live here . . . the 

huge expanses of recreation 

reserves, river tracks and great 

water sports, the estuary birdlife 

and yachting, the beach life, 

swimming and surfing. 

Ecotourism is the perfect 

drawcard to get local and international 

visitors coming to our 

village and spending at our vital 

local businesses. These days most 

travellers are looking for something 

to do that will revitalise 

their interest in life again, that 

will show them different views, 

culture and perspective, that will 

excite or move them. Another 

mall won’t give them that lifelong 

memory. 

East Christchurch can offer the 

drawcard of family-friendly and 

lower cost activities. Ecotourism 

is about entertainment and 


YOGA, HOT hula, fitness 

demonstrations and top-team 

are some of the activities on offer 

at the annual Aranui Health 

Day. 

Aranui 

neighbourhood nurse 

Hannah Laughton is 

organising the event, 

which she started 

planning for in March. 

She said she aims 

to have a full range of 

stalls and interactive 

activities for both 

parents and children. 

“The last couple of years we’ve 

focused on well-being, with 

crafts like screen printing and 

activities that don’t cost a lot 

of natural resources to build, 

and don’t involve fossil fuels 

and pollution to maintain. This 

includes the beautiful murals on 

New Brighton shop walls and 

Peter Donnelly’s internationally 

known sand art. 

And now the east has the big, 

new opportunity we have been 

waiting for: A river park from 

city to beach. Without having to 

leave town, locals and travellers 

will be able to get into the great 

outdoors to gain all the physical 

and mental health benefits from 

walking, cycling and boating 

in amongst native forest and 

birdlife. The east Christchurch 

waterpark concept would be a 

further stunning attraction. 

Eco-design is the very latest 

lantern-making. And this year, 

we’re introducing reiki and hand 

massage just to mix it up,” she 

said. 

About 35 stallholders are 

expected at this year’s event and 

each one will bring a 

small gift to contribute to 

the spot prizes awarded 

during the day. 

“The prizes are mixed 

up and this allows their 

organisations brand 

to be out there in the 

public in another way 

and hopefully gain more 

exposure/clients as a 

result. So it is win-win,” 

said Ms Laughton. 

More than 500 people attended 

last year’s event. 

trend, so how do we make sure 

there is enough ‘eco’ in our 

ecotourism that designers and 

mayors around the world are 

talking about us? Here we go 

. . . wind and solar powered 

amenities. The latest composting 

restroom facilities. Food containers 

that are made from renewable 

and compostable materials. Cycling 

options everywhere. Green 

cabs and buses. Organic snacks, 

and other quality local food and 

drink. 

And, of course, local hapu 

knowledge, both old and new, 

incorporated every step of the 

way as our country is in the very 

fortunate position of having iwirun 

corporations which ensure 

that there is always regard for 

future generations. 

Look after yourself at the annual Aranui Health Day 

Hannah 

Laughton 

ECOTOUR: Green Party candidate Cathy Sweet says 

ecotourism is about entertainment and activities that don’t use 

a lot of natural resources, like these murals in New Brighton 

mall.

And, with the mix of 

demonstrations, information 

and interactive activities, there 

will something for everyone, she 

said. 

“Even if they come for a 

few minutes. The majority of 

feedback has always been really 

positive.”

We said: 

Panels erected to

War Memorial have been

and a poor solution to the

You said: 

Linda Street – A 

heinous, appalling, shaming 

abomination. I actually prefer 

the graffiti. If I wanted to put 

flowers there today in memory 

of the soldiers who died in the 

Battle of Messines, I would have 

to place them in front of that 

plastic box. Horrible. 

Laurence Fairley – I had 

a meeting with David East, city 

councillor, two years ago about 

the disgraceful appearance of 

this memorial. The discussion 

was about techniques to 

remove graffiti from sandstone 

correctly. The discussion talked 

about video surveillance and 

ownership. Never in my wildest 

dreams did the wall come up. 

Talk about Berlin, Israel and the 

Mexican wall. Now Brighton 

has its own. The wall needs 

to be removed immediately. 

The memorial stands for far 

more than this. This wall 

sends the wrong message to 

the community and serves as 

a challenge to the protagonist 

vandals who think smearing 

this marker with their ‘sign’ is 

okay. What was that chant back 

in the 80s . . . Pull down that 

wall!

for up to 200 kids in one space. 

The year 1-13 school replaced 

Aranui High, Aranui 

Primary, Avondale Primary and 

Wainoni School after earthquake-damaged 

land and buildings 

and falling rolls prompted 

their closure. 

Bordering Shortland St and 

Breezes Rd, the size and newness 

of the buildings is striking. 

It looks like a large-scale primary 

school, with its sun shades, 

adventure playground and 

brightly coloured exterior panels. 

In the centre of the campus 

is a massive building housing 

the gymnasium, library, offices, 

cafeteria, kitchens and studios for 

music and drama. 

A glass-fronted atrium is at its 

heart, the school office tucked 

along one wall, in keeping with 

the open-plan vibe. It feels like a 

cross between a hotel lobby and a 

community hub. 

Opposite the office, a cafeteria 

displays the blackboard specials: 

today it’s creamy vege soup, 

nachos with melted cheese and 

a salad with bacon, haloumi and 

green beans. Mouse traps, wedges, 

pies and fruit salads feature 

in the cabinet. There’s only water 

and plain milk in the fridge and 

no processed food on offer. 

Kids sit at cafeteria tables 

wearing an assortment of clothing; 

hoodies and sneakers are 

popular. There is a uniform but 

the rules seem pretty flexible. 

Lavalava’s are everywhere the day 

I visit, all the teachers are wearing 

them and lots of students too. 

BUSY: Haeata Community College principal Andy Kai Fong has responsibility for over 900 

students from ages 5 to 18.

I find out later it’s because of Samoan 

Language Week. There are 

128 Samoans students at Haeata, 

making up the majority of its 

Pacific Island population. 

Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds 

blasts out of the sound system at 

9am. Children dash through the 

atrium, thread around cafeteria 

tables and tumble out the big 

glass doors, on their way to class. 

Principal Andy Kai Fong is 

determined to meet the 21stcentury 

head on and he’s at the 

helm of a school that looks and 

functions differently to a traditional 

model. 

Primary, intermediate and 

secondary-aged children sharing 

the same campus. Teachers 

operating in shared, open plan 

spaces rather than individual 

classrooms. A strong emphasis 

on self-management and studentdirected 

learning. Laptops and 

phones instead of pens. Ninety 

minute periods. 

There’s a lot that’s new about 

Haeata, and Mr Kai Fong freely 

admits their approach has raised 

a few eyebrows and may have 

lost them some students in the 

months since opening. 

He’s okay with that, and accepts 

there’s a possibility the roll 

could go down next year. 

They’re trying to take a more 

holistic approach to learning, he 

says, and it will take time to educate 

the community about what 

the school is trying to achieve. 

In spite of that, the roll of 950 

is healthy. They opened with 

50 per cent more students than 

anticipated and are catering for 

kids who have come from 122 

different schools. 

That figure reflects the transience 

in the area, as well as the 

school’s distinct character, which 

he says has attracted families 

from outside the local catchment. 

Their philosophy has something 

in common with Ao Tawhiti Unlimited 

Discovery, which also uses 

a model of personalised, studentdriven 

learning, though he points 

out most students at that school 

attend by choice, not because it’s 

their local provider. 

Ultimately, the aspiration is to 

become a viable alternative for 

everyone in the catchment. Historically, 

only 40 per cent of local 

kids in the Aranui/Wainoni area 

attended their local school. 

“We’re trying to bring people 

home and offer education that’s 

purposeful, but it’s challenging 

for our community to get 

their heads around. We have 

copped criticism for the level 

of self-management (we expect 

from students). For seniors particularly, 

it takes time to embed 

– we’ve flipped expectations on 

their head. Whatever your plan, 

there’s challenges.” 

Interestingly, Mr Kai Fong 

didn’t have any input into the 

buildings, but says it’s an amazing 

place to work and the big-box 

style has never impacted strongly 

on what they want to do for 

learning. 

“We utilise the buildings and 

furniture for what we need. We 

can have up to 200 students or 

just two in these flexible spaces.”

LEARNING: Pupils focused at Haeata Community College. 

A whirlwind tour through the 

school’s three open-plan learning 

spaces throws up a busy and noisy 

primary school, where separate 

clusters of children are working 

with teachers. No dividers 

punctuate the room, apart from a 

half-wall which separates a group 

of high-needs pupils. 

A soft hush descends when we 

enter the senior school. Students 

are scattered around the central 

learning area, at tables or on 

the floor, intent on computers 

or phones. Jack’s on his laptop, 

writing a story for an animated 

computer game. The boy next 

to him is surfing Youtube; his 

self-directed learning has taken a 

detour. Phoenix is doing algebra 

– she’s planning to join the navy. 

While there’s not many posters 

or student work on display, that’s 

maybe a reflection of how new 

this all is. In a small classroom 

off the main area, the familiar 

sight of a maths class in progress: 

teacher, whiteboard and four 

students. Small group teaching 

seems to be the thing here. 

Mr Kai Fong says as technology 

evolves, schools need to stay 

relevant and engaging to young 

people. It’s a balancing act. 

As I go to leave, a little group of 

kids comes trotting past behind 

their teacher who’s carrying a 

yellow cricket bat, wickets and a 

ball. They’re heading for the gym. 

She looks young, energetic, and 

committed. 

Perhaps it’s that, more than 

buildings or philosophy, which 

will determine whether Haeata 

becomes the school of choice for 

its community.

Lions choir set to perform 

with South Brighton Voices 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 

THE LIONS Male Voice Choir 

will perform only once in the 

South Island leg of their tour

The 50-man choir is touring 

with the Lions team, and is

Rachel Welfare said interested 

parties included artists, a group 

looking for office space to run

“It’s an awesome crosssection

get the space ready for people to

There were also some “city 

council hoops to jump through” 

to ensure the project receives 

a promised partial rates rebate. 

“The city council like the

NURSE MAUDE 

Loving home guaranteed 

for your hall table 

The Nurse Maude Hospice Shops are a 

well-known feature in Christchurch since 

the first hospice shop opened in Merivale 

nine years ago. 

Not quite so well-known, however, is 

Maudes on Trade Me. 

While the Hospice Shops sell clothing 

Maudes on Trade Me sells everything from 

antiques to sporting and household items. 

“If it’s still in good condition but you 

no longer want it, have room for it or will 

never use it again you can raise money for 

the Nurse Maude Hospice by donating it 

to us,” says Sue Bramwell, general manager 

marketing at Nurse Maude. 

While smaller pieces can be left for Maudes 

on Trade Me at any of the Nurse Maude 

Hospice Shops it is sometimes possible for 

larger or bulk items to be picked up. 

“Just give us a call on 375 4643 or email 

us at trademe.volunteers@nursemaude.org. 

nz first if you have large items and we can let 

you know where in Merivale to drop them 

off or whether we’re able to pick them up” 

says Bramwell. 

“Unfortunately we can’t take beds, 

mattresses or televisions, but we can take 

almost everything else in good condition.” 

“Maudes on Trade Me helps make it 

possible for patients and their families to 

receive care and support free of charge at the 

Nurse Maude Hospice so they can focus on 

what matters rather than having to worry 

about how they’re going to pay for that care.” 

Supermarket and council 

create new playground 

A collaboration between a 

local Wainoni business and 

the city council has seen 

an old playground opened 

with a new lease of life. 

Shortland playground in 

Wainoni faced an uncertain 

future when the new Wainoni 

Pak’n Save was rebuilt 

on its door step. 

But a joint effort from the 

city council and Pak’n Save 

saw a revamped playground 

opened to the public with 

a public planting day at the 

weekend. 

City council 

head of parks 

Andrew 

Rutledge (left) 

said Pak’n 

Save had 

approached 

the city council in April last 

year with an idea to keep 

the playground open. 

Improvements included 

removing the existing 

boundary fence with Pak’n 

Save, removing plants 

that were blocking sight 

lines, tidying up existing 

garden beds and planting 

around 300 new plants, a 

play surface and new paved 

surfaces. 

PLAYTIME: Lucas Taylor, 3, has some rides at the 

revamped Shortland playground. 

“It’s great to see the community 

and local businesses 

getting involved with the 

city council in the provision 

of parks and playgrounds,” 

PEGASUS POST 

said Mr Rutledge. 

“The $50,000 contribution 

from Pak’n Save has 

kept the playground open 

for community use. Their 

funding has allowed for the 

relocation of some equipment 

and the removal of 

some plants to improve 

sightlines into the park 

which makes the park safer 

for the community. They 

have designed their staffrooms 

so they look out over 

the park which also assists 

with passive surveillance of 

the space.”

Greetings to our 

Community. 

As this page 

shows, the life 

of a secondary 

school is busy and 

varied. Linwood 

College nurtures personal excellence by 

providing diverse opportunities to meet 

individual needs, opportunities that support 

a personalised learning pathway. 

This pathway is now opening out to our 

partner schools. Linwood College is 

running a cycle of eight-week enrichment 

programmes for Year 6-8 learners in the 

May Music Month 

schools in our communities, Linwood- 

Woolston and the Bays. The programme is 

very well regarded by the young learners 

themselves and their schools. Debating was 

the first topic which culminated in a lively 

debate held at Sumner School. The present 

programme is Mathematics and is proving 

equally valued. 

Many people are keen to learn more 

about Linwood College. To this end, I am 

holding regular evening appointments for 

families keen to know more and to meet me 

personally. Please phone the school office, 

phone 9820100, to book in a time. 

Nga mihi nui to our community as the 

positive activity of the year continues. I am 

always keen to meet people if any member 

of the community wishes to talk to me about 

anything. My door is open.

Samoan Speech Competition Success 

To start winter off with a bang on 1st June, 

students from Linwood College pitted 

themselves against other talented Samoan 

speakers from Christchurch schools, as part 

of the annual Samoan Speech Competition. 

Held at Hillmorton High School, the event 

was opened by Leumu Gali, St Thomas of 

Canterbury College's Samoan Language 

teacher. This year’s topic was: 'Maau i ofaga, 

Maua'a lou faasinomaga' ('Keep your identity 

alive to thrive'). 

With more than 100 students competing, 

Linwood College's Gloria Sua won first place 

in the Year 11 section with Tala Leupolu 

(Year 12) achieving third place. Two Year 13s 

achieved placings wtih Vai Mariner getting 

second place and Janet Tuiloma, third. 

It was Janice Tuiloma’s first competition. 

She and her twin Janet signed up so that 

they could make their families proud. 

Another participant, Havana described how 

she and others shook with nerves as they 

prepared to present their speeches. 

The Nationals which will take place in 

August 2017 here in Christchurch. 

Samoan Language Week Celebrated 

To celebrate Samoan Language 

Week, in the first week of June 

students at Linwood College 

arranged a number of activities, 

including a lunch for staff. 

Students also performed a 

number of dances, engaging staff 

in a traditional dance. 

Chess Tournament Winners 

A crowd of Eastgate Library visitors 

settled in for double treat – tasty delicacies 

provided by the library staff accompanied 

by a peppering of performances by 

Linwood College students as part of the 

recent ‘May Music Month’. 

A funky, hip-hop number by Filipino 

students and a Bollywood dance followed 

the Year 7 students’ drama which kicked off 

the evening. The school band performed 

many melodious pieces. 

Surrounded by vibrant colours and sound, 

the audience clapped along to the smooth 

reggae tones of Tyrone TePoono as he 

crooned Six60’s Don’t Forget Your Roots. 

Adonai Schwenke’s thunderous tones 

reverberated Tennesse Whiskey’s lyrics 

throughout Eastgate to a cheering crowd. 

With a dabble of jazz, a smoky solo by Piper 

Stewart, a splash of drumming by Luke 

Barry, one Samoan dance later - onlookers 

were bursting full from the smorgasbord of 

the evening’s cultural flavours. 

Organisers stated that the event had been 

inspired by Linwood College's ‘Festival of 

Nations’ held back in March and hope that 

this enchanting evening may become an 

annual event to showcase local talent. 

Students from Year 7 and 8 performing at Eastgate 

Library during May Music Month 

As the nine o’clock bell tolled, the Linwood 

College hall was abuzz with the humming 

of table-top timers as students of all ages 

from across Christchurch competed. This 

gathering was for the annual Chess Power 

Interschools Tournament, held on the 22 

May. 

Seven Linwood College students vied 

against students from nine local schools, 

achieving twenty-three wins in total. As a 

result Linwood College secured first place 

in the tournament. 

Senior students Marvin Brimon, Joshua 

Galang and Ly Jefferson Brimon as well as 

Ivo Craeig Baguingey (Year 8) achieved the 

four top placings throughout the day. 

Marvin Brimon came out on top, winning 

six matches and has been invited to 

compete in the National Championship 

to be held in Hamilton in October. 

Congratulations to you all!

Ensuring a safe work place 

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe 

work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the 

wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that 

in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues, 

but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or 

on to the sports field? 

not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place 

can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators 

does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy 

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance 

service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid 

course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social. 

take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high 

risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that 

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability 

to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course 

of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium 

risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a 

spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight 

hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 

26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries, 

hypothermia and poisonings. 

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in 

fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most 

common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children 

are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in 

australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents 

or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far 

behind those in the workplace. 

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard 

6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk 

environments. This course covers many of the skills required to 

deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result 

in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes 

such as motor vehicle accidents. 

if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask 

your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the 

course content and give you options that will best suit your needs. 

Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your 

location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is 

up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where 

it is located.

HEALTH & AWARENESS 

Headaches, 

facial and jaw pain 

Physical Sense Gym & Physio, located in Colombo Street Sydenham, 

focuses both on helping people stay physically fit and healthy, and 

helping people to overcome various health problems. 

At the adjoining physio 

clinic, the four qualified 

physiotherapists specialise 

in dealing with chronic pain, 

such as headaches, earache, toothache, 

and facial and jaw pain. 

As physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk 

explains, when our muscles tighten 

this can refer pain to many of the areas 

around the face and head. Dehydration 

can be the catalyst for tightening the neck 

muscle (SCM), which causes pain in the 

ear, forehead and around the eye and jaw 

joint areas. Tightening of the temporalis 

muscle can refer pain to the teeth, which 

can be confusing when the person 

visits the dentist to have it checked and 

the dentist can’t find a reason for the 

recurring pain. 

Teeth grinding at night and teeth 

clenching during the day, are also a major 

cause of muscle tightening. 

Physiotherapy treatment for these 

problems, is based on deactivating 

the ‘trigger points’ through handson 

massage therapy, to relax the 

muscles, which is the least invasive 

and a very effective form of treatment. 

Dry needling is another technique used 

for muscle relaxation, but is only used with 

the client’s consent, Ietje says. 

“We release the muscles to give 

immediate relief and at the same time 

work on the cause. For example, we have 

a feedback headband that is worn at night 

to help people to learn not to clench their 

teeth while they’re asleep. We also work 

on the client’s cervical or neck part of the 

spine, where overuse can cause muscles 

to tighten, creating pain.” 

Teaching self-management of stress 

is an important aspect of the clinic’s 

treatment, as well as teaching breathing 

techniques, which go hand in hand with 

managing stress. 

The gym is open to the public for 

regular specialised classes for people with 

ailments such as diabetes, osteoporosis, 

vascular problems, and those who face 

difficulties following a stroke. 

Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door and there is ample 

parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

Creating a Better 

Denture Experience 

When was the last time you 

had your dentures checked? 

Call us today for your FREE 

check today. 

At Better Denture, the denture clinic 

situated in Brynley Street, Hornby, the aim 

is to take the hassle out of getting new teeth, 

says experienced dental technician and 

owner Chris Castle. 

“We focus on making it easier for people 

coming here to have dentures made or 

maintained with our relaxed environment 

and friendly approach.” 

Chris understands that people can be a bit 

nervous about coming into a dental clinic, 

but he makes sure everyone feels welcome 

and comfortable at Better Denture by 

breaking down those barriers and putting 

them at ease. 

The process of having new dentures made 

and fitted usually takes four appointments, 

and Chris explains the process step by step 

so patients understand what’s being done, 

further complete after care is provided at no 

additional cost. 

“Every set of dentures is made to onsite 

by hand, using higher grade materials as 

standard, allowing us the ability to customise 

every aspect of the process. We also aim to 

cater toward the upkeep of existing dentures, 

with same day repairs and relines on offer, 

as well as being available on Saturdays, 

allowing us to work around even the busiest 

schedules,” he says. 

“Our aim at Better Denture is to create 

the best possible denture experience for 

you, the customer, whether it be through 

the products we custom create, the service 

we provide or the manner in which strive to 

achieve both of those goals.” 

Anyone needing new dentures is invited 

to contact Better Denture, phone 349 5050, 

for a free consultation. The clinic is spacious 

and welcoming, and patients are invited to 

bring someone with them for support at any 

appointment if they wish. 

Located at 6 Brynley Street Hornby, 

Better Denture is open Monday to Friday, 

9am-5pm and Saturday, 10am-12pm. 

Off-street parking and wheelchair access 

available.

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

Natural product 

improves joint health 

For many of us, as we grow older our 

joints start to become stiff, sore and swollen, 

reducing mobility and quality of life. 

Most of these joint problems are caused 

by a lack of cartilage or damage to the 

cartilage, which is the soft, spongy material 

between the moving bones. The body 

continually produces cartilage, but factors 

like digestive and health issues, and not 

enough of the right nutrients in the diet, 

slow its production. If the cartilage wears 

away more quickly than it is replaced, 

the bone ends can start rubbing together, 

causing reduced joint movement, pain, 

swelling and inflammation of the joint. 

Generally, the joints with the most use or 

stress show problems first, but eventually 

other joints may show problems too. 

Luckily, certain nutrients are known to 

support and stimulate cartilage production. 

Pure Vitality is a small West Coast 

company, where they are committed to 

producing effective, natural, life-changing 

health supplements. While most joint care 

products on the market are very similar, 

Pure Vitality wants their products to be 

the most effective. Their new Joint Vitality 

product contains scientifically researched, 

high-potency natural ingredients to 

provide a multipronged approach to joint 

health. 

As well as a full therapeutic dose of 

the more common glucosamine and 

chondroitin, Joint Vitality contains a 

concentrated deer antler velvet extract to 

help stimulate healing. Another unique 

ingredient is joint fluid or mega-potent 

hyaluronic acid. This has been shown in 

clinical trials to be more effective than 

glucosamine and chondroitin. 

Joint Vitality also contains enhanced 

absorption turmeric extract, as well as 

the highest- potency extract of boswellia 

available to reduce inflammation, swelling 

and pain, and speed joint recovery. 

The formula also provides antioxidants 

from grape seed extract to support cellular 

joint health, and vitamin D3, zinc, boron, 

manganese, copper and selenium, all 

critical to optimum joint health. 

This comprehensive formula is designed 

to provide fast, lasting results. It is 

recommended to take three capsules daily 

with food for the first box or two to obtain 

the maximum benefits. One box of 60 

capsules is $49.90.

The importance of good blood pressure! 

According to a country Doctor “D.C. 

Jarvis” from Vermont in the USA cider 

vinegar and honey (CV & H) can be an 

important part of a long healthy life. Dr. 

Jarvis noted Vermonters who regularly 

consumed cider vinegar and honey had 

excellent health with many putting in a 

vigorous day’s work on the farm even when 

well into their eighties. 

Dr. Jarvis found the effects of cider vinegar 

and honey on arthritis can be remarkable 

with many patients reporting almost total 

relief after taking a course of the cider 

vinegar and honey. Dr. Jarvis surmised that 

the acid and potassium in cider vinegar 

counteracted calcium deposits and helped 

the body control calcium use. 

As well as a general tonic Dr. Jarvis found 

regular administration of cider vinegar and

Keeping our blood pressure (B/P) in the normal range is a positive sign of good health. The higher the B/P above normal the more 

likely we may suffer a stroke, aneurysm, organ failure or heart attack. Even moderate elevation of B/P can lead to shortened life 

expectancy. Checking your B/P on a regular basis with our easy to use B/P monitors allows you to make changes to your lifestyle,

HOME & HEATING 

Choosing the right heat 

pump for your home 

Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit, 

most homes include at least one heat pump, 

if not a whole heating solution. They can 

provide cheap, clean heat and are much more 

convenient than a log burner as you just need 

to press a button. But how do you decide 

what is best? Choosing the right sized heat 

pump is key to ensuring optimum comfort 

levels. Every situation varies and it is therefore 

important to get professional advice from heat 

pump experts. 

The range varies from wall mounted high 

walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems, 

ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted 

central heating systems allowing you to have a 

very discreet way of heating your whole home 

to a constant temperature throughout. 

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that 

is suitable for the size of the space you wish 

to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to 

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area 

taken into consideration but also, insulation, 

building orientation, windows and ceiling 

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps 

available with different heating outputs so it 

is important to select the correct size for your 

requirements that will handle the job but not 

be unnecessarily overpowered. 

Secondly, the location of your heat pump 

is also extremely important. The cheapest 

installation is a back to back where the outdoor 

unit is positioned directly behind the indoor 

unit however this is not necessarily always 

the best option. It is vital that the indoor 

unit is positioned in a place that will not be 

constantly blowing on you. Also important, is 

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people 

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly 

in their outdoor entertaining area or right 

outside their bedroom window. 

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands 

have come and gone over the years but there 

are a number of manufacturers who provide 

reputable and reliable products. All brands 

vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of 

systems and price, so it depends on your 

application as to which will be most suitable. 

Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, 

Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are 

all reliable brands backed up by good technical 

after sales service. 

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an 

accredited installer. This will not only ensure 

correct installation of your heat pump, but 

also validate the manufacturers warranty. 

Other things to consider when choosing a 

heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the 

remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi 

capabilities. 

Heating is a major investment in your home 

and it is vital to get the right advice. 

Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply, 

installation and servicing of all major brands 

of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers 

ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as 

to which system will suit your application 

the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no 

obligation quote and will come to your home 

to see what is required. Visit our website at 

www.enviromaster.co.nz. 

The facts about 

home ventilation 

Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure 

Under the New Zealand Building Code, 

all buildings, including residential, need to 

be suitably ventilated, either with opening 

windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1 

states: “The objective of this provision is 

to safeguard people from illness or loss of 

amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are 

many benefits to forced, or mechanical, 

ventilation over opening windows, including 

warmth, security, reduction of outside noises 

and reduction of condensation. 

Traditional domestic ventilation systems 

are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from 

outside via the roof space and force the stale air 

out through gaps around windows and doors. 

The incoming air from these 

systems has to be heated or 

cooled to keep the house warm 

in winter or cool in summer. 

The Smooth-Air HEX390 is 

a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It 

extracts air from the house and 

at the same time brings in fresh 

air. These two streams of air 

pass through a heat exchanger, 

which warms incoming air in 

winter and cools in summer if 

air conditioning is being used. 

This means that up to 80% of 

the energy which would be 

wasted using a traditional positive pressure 

system is recovered, resulting in significant 

energy savings and therefore lower heating or 

cooling costs. 

Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation 

systems have been considerably more 

expensive than traditional positive pressure 

systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique 

manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390 

balanced pressure system can be installed for 

a similar price as a traditional positive pressure 

system.

I’m Jo Hayes, National’s list MP based in Christchurch East. 

I love being a part of this wonderful, tight-knit Christchurch East community. There’s so 

much going on that I just want to share a few highlights with you of what our community 

and Government are working on achieving together. Nga mihi mahana. 

Jo Hayes 

National List MP based in 

Christchurch East 

Bill English 

Right Honourable Prime 

Minister of New Zealand 

www.national.org.nz 

Authorised by Jo Hayes, National MP, 

Unit 6/975 Ferry Road, Ferrymead


All in a day’s work 

It’s the things we do every day that total the sum of our lives, 

so I was thinking recently, how do we spend our time as MPs 

to really make a difference? 

While we sit in Parliament and make and debate laws – and 

that’s important - it’s often the little things we do that really 

matter in people’s lives. 

That’s what I’m proud of when I think about my role as a list 

MP in Christchurch East. My staff and I always have the door 

open to chat and offer a helping hand. Here are a just a few 

things that we’ve been up to over the past few years: 

Immigration 

Immigration is a tough and emotive issue, especially for those trying to stay in 

New Zealand. These decisions often involve keeping families together, keeping 

businesses running and sticky situations all around. 

We’ve had plenty of immigration cases come through my office and have always 

done our best to support Christchurch East residents and businesses for the best 

outcomes. Although we can’t comment on specific cases, we’ve had very positive 

outcomes in the majority of them, including emergency visas. 

Getting the right mix 

At the same time, the Government regularly reviews immigration settings to make 

sure that we’re getting the right mix of skills and the right quantity of people. We 

want to make sure that Kiwi businesses have room to grow but that the interests 

of everyday Kiwis are put first too. 

The Government recently raised the first remuneration threshold to $48,859 

a year: applicants who earn below that threshold will have no pathway to 

residence. The second threshold will be set at $73,299 and applicants will 

automatically be considered as high-skilled. 

We’re also proposing changes to work visas to limit the duration and settlement 

expectations of lower paid visa holders. That said, we’re also proposing a new 

pathway to residence for 4000 long-term temporary migrant workers in the 

South Island – many of whom have played a key role in the Canterbury rebuild. 

Something smells here... 

Waimairi Beach residents got whiff of a Christchurch City Council (CCC) plan to 

move the dump site closer to their homes. They were understandably unhappy 

and approached my office to see if we could help them out of the quagmire. 

I looked over the plan and met with Minister Brownlee, and we asked that the 

plan be overturned. It was, and residents and CCC agreed on an alternative site 

where the offending odours wouldn’t intrude. Another win for locals! 

Open those roads! 

Some of you may remember last Christmas when Pages Road 

was closed Eastbound for months on end, and scheduled to 

open again on Christmas Eve. 

That wasn’t soon enough for New Brighton businesses in the 

Christmas shopping season, especially after two hard trading 

years with road closures. We had a chat with CCC and SCIRT, 

which came to the party and worked around the clock to get 

the road open two-weeks before Christmas Day. 

My first Bill – a win 

for youth! 

It was a huge honour to have my first 

Bill – to amend the Marriage Act – 

read in Parliament earlier this month. 

The Marriage (Court Consent to 

Marriage of Minors) Amendment 

Bill seeks to protect 16 and 17-yearold 

minors from forced or arranged 

marriages by necessitating court 

consent to the marriage. 

Currently, 16 and 17-year-olds who wish 

to marry need only parental consent. 

This amendment will ensure that all 

minors over the age of 16 who wish to marry do so with the acceptance of the 

court and with equal consent from both parties. 

It’s so important that we protect our young people’s rights and freedom to make 

their own life decisions and not to be forced into an unwanted union. 

The Bill will now head to Select Committee where it will be open to discussion 

and public submissions. 

In a snapshot: 

Emergency housing support 

We were contacted about an elderly woman in urgent need of 

re-housing. We successfully found her a home and helped source 

furniture as well. 

School bullying 

Teachers and parents at a local Christchurch East school 

approached us about ongoing bullying problems. I met with the 

principal and we’re monitoring the issue together. 

Burwood-Pegasus Community Watch 

I head out on watch duty on a Friday night whenever I can with 

one of the committed Watch members.

Government support 

for the East 

Sometimes it’s not until we look back that we realise how 

far we’ve come with the rebuild in Christchurch East. Beyond 

the residential, we can all pat ourselves on the back for the 

following: 

Education 

The Government has invested in three new 

primary schools: $10.2m for Marshlands; 

$14.5m for Waitakiri and $13.6 for Rawhiti. 

Of course, we’ve also got the fabulous new 

Haeta at $298m. 

But wait, there’s more: a further $650m is 

tagged for the upcoming relocation and 

rebuild of Avonside Girls and Shirley Boys at 

QE2 park; the rebuild of a Catholic primary 

school in Aranui, and Banks Ave in Shirley. 

Hospitals 

The new Burwood Hospital, at $215m, is truly a state-of-the-art facility and a 

fantastic asset for the East. 

Social housing 

The Government has poured a massive 

investment into social housing from Aranui 

to Shirley, and continues to actively build 

as part of its social housing programme. 

These new, warm and healthy homes 

are benefiting plenty of Christchurch 

East families and sprucing up the 

neighbourhood! 

The Force is with you, Christchurch East 

The National-led Government is investing $503 million to provide new staff and 

police services across New Zealand. That means a total of 1125 new police staff – 

including 880 frontline officers – over the next four years. The Canterbury Police 

District, including Christchurch East, will get an additional 10 boys (and girls!) in 

blue over the next year to focus on child protection, adult sexual assault and 

serious crime in our community. And that’s just the beginning. 

The additional staff will boost police force capacity and help achieve better 

outcomes for all. The first recruits will be on the beat in July. 

New Brighton redevelopment 

It may seem like there’s not a lot happening on the ground in New Brighton yet, 

but there’s plenty of work going on 

behind the scenes. 

I have frequently voiced my support 

for the new hot water salt pools 

and redevelopment, and I’m 

actively working with the Business 

Association of New Brighton to 

identify potential investors in the 

area’s future. New Brighton has such a vibrant and steadfast community and it’s 

going to take all of us – Government, CCC and community - to create the future 

that we want for the area. As a side-note, it was an absolute pleasure to host 

New Brighton artists at Parliament last year! 

Business 

Let’s not forget that the Government also funded some Christchurch East 

businesses immediately after the earthquakes so that they could retain staff and 

run their businesses. The business owners I know are hugely appreciative of the 

investment, which has allowed them to continue thriving and operating out of the 

electorate.

Budget a 

big win for 

Christchurch 

East families 

The Government’s budget on 25 May is great news for Christchurch East 

families. Here are a few highlights in case you missed it: 

 

 

 

A $2 billion a year Family Incomes Package that will help hard working 

New Zealanders get ahead. The package will lift the incomes of 1.3 million 

families by an average of $26 a week. 

$4 billion to help build the public infrastructure we need as a growing 

economy, as well as additional funding to strengthen the Business 

Growth Agenda to help drive further economic growth, create jobs, and 

lift wages. 

$7 billion new investment in public services like health, education, and 

law and order over the next four years, including $321 million in social 

investment initiatives to help the most at-risk New Zealanders become 

more independent. 

This is an exciting budget that puts more money into the back pockets of 

those who need it most - low and middle-income earners with young families 

and higher housing costs. 

By getting the economy growing again and putting the Government’s books 

back in order we’ve given ourselves choices that few other countries have. We 

can fund new initiatives that will make a difference to people’s lives. Some of 

those include: 

 

 

 

 

Joanne Hayes and Finance Minister Steven Joyce. 

An additional $224 million over four years for mental health services. 

$37 million to improve the safety of family violence victims and stop family 

violence escalating. 

$185 million to further expand social housing services. 

$424 million for the new Ministry for Vulnerable Children, Oranga Tamariki.
