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 />

a handy wave rider too.<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<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 />

Songwriter of the Year for the 3rd consecutive<br />
