ONE OF the city’s most<br />
promising young surfers has a<br />
big future ahead of him if recent<br />
results are anything to go by.<br />
Shirley Boys’ High’s Myka<br />
Black (above) powered his way to<br />
second in the under-14 section<br />
at the national scholastic surf<br />
championships in Gisborne after<br />
winning a Canterbury title in<br />
May.<br />
His coach Aaron Lock said he<br />
is one of the best surfers coming<br />
out of New Brighton.<br />
“He definitely has the talent<br />
to go pro and had a really good<br />
showing at the national event,”<br />
he said.<br />

Lock said Myka’s father was<br />
one of the top surfers in the<br />
South Island and was helping to<br />
coach the Canterbury team.<br />

A CRASH-PRONE road in North<br />
New Brighton may be narrowed<br />
to make it safer.<br />
There have been 12 crashes on<br />
Palmers Rd between Bowhill and<br />
New Brighton Rds between 2005<br />
and 2016, New Zealand Transport<br />
agency data shows.<br />
Now the city council is considering<br />
narrowing Palmers Rd to<br />
one lane in four places.<br />
Public feedback on the upgrade<br />
closed last week.<br />
Narrowing Palmers Rd will<br />
make it more pedestrian-friendly.<br />
However, some on-street parking<br />
will be lost.<br />
Palmers Rd resident Nicola<br />
Smith has experienced issues with<br />
speed on the street before.<br />
Miss Smith, who is a nurse, has<br />
attended crashes on her street<br />
during the four years living there.<br />
She lives near the bend in the<br />
road as it approaches Bower Ave.<br />

It was never that way when I<br />

into the family budget.<br />

Demand for emergency food increases<br />
Families<br />
struggle<br />
in eastern<br />
suburbs<br />
SCHOOL FOOD charity<br />
KidsCan says demand for<br />
emergency food supplies in low<br />
decile schools has doubled over<br />
the last six years.<br />
KidsCan chief executive Julie<br />
Chapman said the percentage<br />
of children needing food in<br />
schools supported by the charity<br />
has jumped from 11 per cent<br />
in 2011 to 22 per cent this year.<br />
Chapman says the jump has<br />
been particularly noticeable<br />
in the east of Christchurch<br />
where at least 10,000 houses<br />
were demolished due to the<br />
earthquakes.<br />
“Certainly the housing pressures<br />
[in Christchurch] have<br />
forced a lot of families into<br />
situations where they’re sharing<br />
houses and I think that, coupled<br />
with increased cost of living, is<br />
having a real impact.”<br />
Linwood North School<br />
principal Sandra Smith said the<br />
stress on the local community is<br />
acute and has resulted in more<br />
pupils coming to school without<br />
food than ever before.<br />
“Things have become<br />
exponentially more challenging<br />
for families in the east of<br />
Christchurch,” she said.<br />
“There is absolutely genuine<br />
poverty in this community that<br />
can’t be helped by the families<br />
that are living in it.<br />
“It’s time for the rest of New<br />
Zealand to really wake up to the<br />
fact that many of our children<br />
are not getting the lives that we<br />
had when we were children.”<br />
Ms Smith said she now relies<br />
on food and clothing provided<br />
by businesses and charities<br />
like KidsCan to ensure her<br />
students don’t go hungry<br />
during the day.<br />
TACKLING<br />
HUNGER: Linwood<br />
North School<br />
principal Sandra<br />
Smith said more<br />
pupils are coming<br />
to school without<br />
food than ever<br />
before.<br />
“When you’re hungry you<br />
can’t learn. So for some children<br />
who come to school with no<br />
breakfast or lunch we’re able to<br />
provide the food. We’re filling a<br />
real need,” she says.<br />
KidsCan figures show the<br />
charity now supports 700<br />
schools and a record 30,000<br />
children every week across the<br />
country.<br />

Funding gives confidence to plan ahead<br />
Manager of the<br />
Neighbourhood<br />
Trust Ginny<br />
Larsen writes<br />
about how<br />
three years<br />
of funding<br />
has secured the trust’s<br />
future to the benefit of the<br />
community<br />
Funding – the very word is<br />
enough to send chills up the<br />
spine of most not-for-profit organisations.<br />
As the manager of Neighbourhood<br />
Trust, (the community arm<br />
of St Albans Baptist Church),<br />
a local not-for-profit working<br />
mainly in the Mairehau, Shirley<br />
and St Albans part of town, I<br />
feel like half my life is taken up<br />
with funding applications and<br />
accountabilities.<br />
So it is a nice surprise to have<br />
some funders making the process<br />
a bit easier by putting three-year<br />
funding as an option.<br />
This year both NZ Lotteries<br />
and the city council, through its<br />
community boards offered this<br />
alternative.<br />
And we are exceptionally grateful<br />
to the Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board for its grant.<br />
It must be hugely difficult<br />
making decisions, especially as<br />
the funds available to them have<br />
been cut by $85,000.<br />
So what does this mean for an<br />
organisation to have funds guaranteed<br />
for three years?<br />
It gives us confidence to plan<br />
and look ahead, to know we can<br />
retain our wonderfully effective<br />
staff and provide appropriate<br />
training to keep them up-to-date.<br />
It means we can continue to<br />
offer our community consistent,<br />
community-led work at a high<br />
level to a variety of sectors – the<br />
Golden Connections programme<br />
for over-60s; from exercise classes<br />
to community days; from free<br />
English as a second language<br />
classes to OSCAR programmes<br />
to the Pay It Forward collective<br />
of over 50 local designers, selling<br />
their products through the store<br />
at 49 Nancy Ave.<br />
It also means we can dream<br />
a little about working with our<br />
community in different ways,<br />
supporting and mentoring,<br />
listening to their aspirations for<br />
their whanau.<br />

Jackie McDonald – These<br />

Gymnastics<br />
has a 100-<br />
year lease with the city council<br />
which needs to be honoured.<br />
The first location was shot down<br />
because it infringed on a rugby<br />
field. Now they aren’t happy with<br />
the second location? Hundreds of<br />
children use these facilities each<br />
week. It is a blessing that CSG<br />
can remain in the area. Why are<br />
people complaining?<br />
Maria Mann – Oh, get over<br />
yourselves. It’s a great idea to<br />
have the school of gymnastics by<br />

SEWING: Hannah Perry and her daughter Millie sew together one of the 300 bags which<br />
community group Stitch-O-Mat hopes to create in order to cut down on plastic bag usage.<br />
Community group leads effort<br />
to replace plastic bags<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
STITCH-O-MAT has opened<br />
and is already making positive<br />
contributions to the community<br />
by sewing reusable bags.<br />
Located in The Old School,<br />
formerly Central New Brighton<br />
School, the community group is<br />
aiming to sew 300 reusable bags<br />
to reduce plastic consumption.<br />
Run by co-founders Bridget Allen<br />
and Samantha Fay, the project<br />
runs in conjunction with the<br />
New Brighton FoodTogether hub.<br />
FoodTogether is a collective of<br />
organisations selling cheap fruit<br />
and vegetables.<br />
The New Brighton hub, located<br />
at St Faith’s Church, is one of 40<br />
distribution hubs in Canterbury<br />
and offers a $12 bag of fruit and<br />
vegetables, enough to feed a family<br />
of four.<br />
Ms Allen gets curtain material<br />
cut-offs donated from businesses<br />
such as Hubbers, Millers and<br />
McKenzie and Willis.<br />
Each bag requires 2m of material.<br />
Ms Allen said for some it’s<br />
more than just sewing a bag.<br />
“The people that are coming<br />
along to the workshops, it is more<br />
than just sewing the bag, it is the<br />
social aspect and bringing people<br />
together,” she said.<br />
“Some people are out of work<br />
and just want something positive<br />
that they could be doing with<br />
their skills. A lot of people have<br />
sewing skills but don’t really have<br />
a reason to use them.”<br />
Three years ago, Ms Fay<br />
and Ms Allen worked with<br />
students from Linwood College<br />
to sew fairy dresses and capes<br />
for children at Christchurch<br />
Hospital.<br />
Ms Allen hopes to start this<br />
project up again with the opening<br />
of Stitch-O-Mat.<br />

SHIRLEY BOYS’ High<br />
School mountain biking<br />
coach Pete Beswick finally<br />
has the trophy he’s been<br />
waiting four years for.<br />
The trophy was won by<br />
his team of Shirley students<br />
at the South Island mountain<br />
biking championships<br />
in Dunedin.<br />
“I’ve been eyeing it up, it<br />
is the fourth year in a row<br />
that I’ve had my eyes set on<br />
that trophy,” he said.<br />
Five SBHS students<br />
finished in the top 10 of<br />
their individual categories,<br />
generating enough points<br />
for the school to finish<br />
first with 1102 points. Mt<br />
Aspiring College finished<br />
second with 1057 points.<br />
The overall individual<br />
category included three<br />
races – cross-country,<br />
downhill, and ‘super-D’,<br />
a less technical version of<br />
the downhill race with<br />
more pedalling.<br />
Beswick said he has witnessed<br />
a real growth in the<br />
sport across the country<br />
and within the SBHS.<br />
“I started this club (at the<br />
school) five years ago with<br />
six people, now this year<br />
we had about 35 people<br />
sign up.”<br />
Beswick said the competition<br />
was met with thunder,<br />
lightning, a downpour<br />
of rain and “inches of<br />
mud” on the first day of<br />
competition.<br />
SBHS student Indy<br />
Hawthorne took the best<br />
overall individual result<br />
with fourth in the under-16<br />
grade. He finished second<br />
in the cross-country race, a<br />
huge achievement, Beswick<br />
said.<br />

Kia ora koutou. Talofa.<br />
Kia Orana. Malo e<br />
lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa<br />
atu. Namaste and<br />
Kumusta. Greetings to<br />
our Community.<br />
The content of this<br />
page shows the busy<br />
life of a NZ secondary<br />
school. Education is<br />
about seeing the whole person and how these<br />
developmentally positive experiences enrich our<br />
students’ understanding of whom they are and<br />
broaden their outlook. They nurture students’<br />
classroom focus by contextualising their learning<br />
and sowing the seeds of positive ambition.<br />
Linwood College believes in a ‘pathwayed<br />
curriculum’. This means the school, students and<br />
families knowing:<br />
1. students’ past learning and skills as they come<br />
into LC from our partner primary schools and<br />
building on these successes<br />
2. how the learning at LC connects to what the<br />
students want to do when they leave school.<br />
“What are my post-school pathways and how<br />
does my LC learning help me to achieve these<br />
pathways?”<br />
In this way learning is meaningful to the individual<br />
and strengths-based.<br />
Coast to Coast Update<br />
Article by The Press’ Robert van Royen<br />
– Sept, <strong>2017</strong> (paraphrased)<br />
Six Linwood College pupils are competing in the<br />
Tough Mudder event alongside Richie McCaw<br />
in Auckland in November, thanks to iSport<br />
Foundation and Coast-to-Coast Rangers.<br />
Linwood College’s Mapu Uasi, Moahengi<br />
Ngauamo, Juilan Elia-Lui, Tupito Saofai and<br />
Kyle Amer couldn't contain their excitement<br />
when they heard the news that they would<br />
be competing. They will all do the 20km mud<br />
and obstacle course, which is designed to test<br />
physical strength, stamina and mental grit.<br />
Connected to these student pathways are the<br />
national development of Kāhui Ako-Communities<br />
of Learning. Education, unfortunately, can have<br />
its share of short-term fads, but Kāhui Ako are<br />
not one of them. In fact, effective schools and<br />
communities have taking this approach for<br />
decades. Kāhui Ako are schools collaborating<br />
to ensure that the student is at the centre of all<br />
activity, not just in the individual school that they<br />
are in at the time, but as students progress in<br />
education from early childhood centres through<br />
their schooling to tertiary and the workplace.<br />
Linwood College is in two Kāhui Ako. Tamai is<br />
the schools of Bamford, Bromley, Linwood Ave,<br />
Linwood College, Linwood North, Tamariki,<br />
and Te Waka Unua. Aupaki is Heathcote Valley,<br />
Linwood College, Lyttelton, Our Lady Star of<br />
the Sea, Mt Pleasant, Redcliffs and Sumner.<br />
One practical outcome already of our Kāhui Ako<br />
has been a specific focus on enrichment with<br />
students from our schools getting together<br />
for very successful eight week enrichment<br />
programmes in Maths, Debating, Pasifika and<br />
with Technology to come.<br />
Finally, schools can be complicated places. If<br />
for any reason you would like to talk to me about<br />
anything please contact the office so we can<br />
arrange this. My door is open.<br />
Ngamihinui – best wishes,<br />
Richard Edmundson - Tumuaki (Principal)<br />
McCaw's Foundation contacted Jess De Bont,<br />
who is currently training the pupils for next year's<br />
Coast-to-Coast and suggested the Tough Mudder<br />
event to her.<br />
"It's an amazing<br />
opportunity –<br />
once in a life time<br />
stuff," she said.<br />
“Auckland is a<br />
really good lead<br />
up for the Coastto-Coast,”<br />
said<br />
Jess De Bont.<br />
Planting at Charlesworth Reserve<br />
Linwood College’s Year 7 & 8 students did an awesome job during a day of<br />
planting at Charlesworth Reserve according to Karla Guerin, the Kiwi Can<br />
Coordinator from the Graeme Dingle Foundation.<br />
Karla said that the planting day (late last term) was very hot and windy but<br />
the students all persevered and gave it their best. She said that it was great<br />
to see everyone fully engaged and work alongside each other with great<br />
teamwork.<br />
Cultural Festival<br />
NZ Army Visit<br />
College's Car Club<br />
Linwood College students’ Car Club had a great<br />
time at Ara Institute of Canterbury over Term 3,<br />
learning about all things cars. Under the careful<br />
guidance of Tutor Bernie Blanken, students<br />
learnt how to change tyres, jump-start flat<br />
batteries, strip down and rebuild a small fourstroke<br />
engine, disassemble and reassemble a<br />
gearbox as well as automotive welding.<br />
Students thanked Bernie by buying him a big box<br />
of chocolates at the end of the course.<br />
Drama Review<br />
Year 10’s mini production is going to<br />
be #fairestofthemall. This story is<br />
an adaption of Snow White with an<br />
improvised and modern twist.<br />
Masking Up<br />
Part of the Year 9 Drama curriculum is to focus<br />
on Drama technologies, so last term students<br />
worked on Mask Making.<br />
This is an important technology which has<br />
links to Greek Theatre and Commedia<br />
Del'Arte, both types of Drama which the<br />
students will be researching when they get to<br />
their NCEA studies.<br />
Year 11's Tasha Matoe in<br />
‘Harbouring Ghosts’, a play<br />
about healing past mistakes.<br />
'The Change Over' Review<br />
As a Christchurch resident from the Eastern suburbs, the<br />
movie ‘The Changeover’ is certainly well worth watching,<br />
not just for its plot but for the visually striking scenes of<br />
post-quake Christchurch. Aerial views show the lead<br />
character’s home surrounded by a sea of vacant lots and<br />
low-lying swampy stretches. Looking across to the city,<br />
with randomly plonked containers and road works, these<br />
scenes also tell part of our story. Linwood College is listed<br />
on the credits as many of our students were acting extras.<br />
Jarrod Bishop<br />
Year 12/13 performers in<br />
an adaptation of Hamlet’s<br />
‘Ophelia Thinks Harder’.<br />
Linwood College presented three cultural<br />
dances at the <strong>2017</strong> Primary Schools’ Cultural<br />
Festival. Filipino students performed a sacred<br />
dance which was followed by a Samoan dance,<br />
‘Do it, do it’ siva.<br />
The final item was<br />
a kapa haka and<br />
song ‘Kapi-oi-oi’.<br />
Our students made<br />
us proud while<br />
demonstrating<br />
the rich cultural<br />
diversity of our<br />
College.<br />
The New Zealand Army Band paid Linwood<br />
College a visit late last term and provided a very<br />
enjoyable lunchtime musical ensemble.<br />
Our Head Boy, Thomas McHutchison (pictured)<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />
Clinic offers easy<br />
solution to varicose veins<br />
If varicose veins are a problem for you, the<br />
dedicated, professional team at Transform<br />
Clinic in Mandeville Street Riccarton can<br />
provide the perfect solution.<br />
Firstly, they will give you a free<br />
assessment of your veins, and then suggest<br />
the appropriate method of treatment,<br />
depending on the condition of the veins.<br />
There are two methods available –<br />
endo-venous laser treatment, which is<br />
used for both smaller and larger veins,<br />
and ultrasound guided sclerotherapy.<br />
Both are easy and straightforward, and<br />
you can be fully active immediately<br />
afterwards, without needing to take any<br />
time off work, or curtail your normal<br />
activities. The only requirement is for you<br />
to wear special stockings for two weeks<br />
following treatment, and daily walking is<br />
recommended.<br />
Both these treatments give long-term<br />
relief from the pain and discomfort of<br />
varicose veins, and as Transform Clinic’s<br />
Jenny Little points out, they have become<br />
the treatment method of today, with<br />
surgical removal of varicose veins now<br />
considered obsolete.<br />
Jenny advises having treatment as early<br />
as possible when varicose veins start to<br />
appear, as left untreated they may lead to<br />
venous ulcers and venous eczema, although<br />
if these have developed, Transform Clinic<br />
can treat them as well.<br />
Transform Clinic has an affiliation<br />
with health provider Southern Cross and<br />
relationships with several other health<br />
insurance companies, which means you are<br />
usually covered for treatment, providing it<br />
is included in your policy.<br />
Transform Clinic also offers a full range<br />
of appearance medicine options, including<br />
skin rejuvenation and skin-tightening<br />
treatments designed to improve skin quality<br />
and enhance self-esteem. They remove<br />
superficial veins on the legs and face, and<br />
also provide mole mapping, mole removal<br />
and primary skin cancer removal. Their<br />
website, www.transformclinic.co.nz, has<br />
information on all the various treatments<br />
available.<br />
“We are a ‘one-stop shop’ for all cosmetic<br />
medicine treatments,” says Jenny.<br />
Transform Clinic is discreetly located<br />
at 52a Mandeville Street. Opening hours<br />
are Monday to Friday from 8.30am, with<br />
late nights on Tuesday and Thursday,<br />
and Saturday from 9am to 3pm. Phone<br />
343-2880 to enquire about treatments or<br />
