Kids go crazy<br />
over crayfish<br />

SHIRLEY PRIMARY School pupils had mixed<br />
reactions when they were given the opportunity to<br />
get up close and personal with crayfish.<br />
Teachers Chanelle Gleimius and Alana Cochrane<br />
said some children were interested in looking and<br />
identifying parts of the crayfish and others were a<br />
little “freaked out.”<br />
The visit from Theo’s Fisheries was part of<br />
inquiry-based literacy lessons about ocean<br />
creatures.<br />
The year 1 and 2 pupils have learnt about sharks,<br />
whales, crabs, seahorses and crayfish.<br />

Plan to<br />
merge<br />
Rawhiti,<br />
Avondale<br />
golf clubs<br />
goes off<br />
course<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
PLANS TO shift the Rawhiti and<br />
Avondale golf courses and merge<br />
them in the red zone may be dead<br />
in the water.<br />
The public was asked by Regenerate<br />
Christchurch to give feedback<br />
on 10 possible combinations<br />
of use for the red zone – including<br />
merging Avondale and Rawhiti<br />
golf clubs in Bexley.<br />
That would leave the way for the<br />
land at Rawhiti and Avondale to<br />
be used for housing.<br />
But, of the more than 1800<br />
responses, less than a quarter<br />
mentioned the housing idea.<br />
Coastal-Burwood Ward city<br />
councillor Glenn Livingstone<br />
does not believe Regenerate will<br />
go ahead with the land swap idea.<br />
“I think they will listen to the<br />
people . . . it’s too contentious and,<br />
although housing is my portfolio<br />
at council, community well-being<br />
is something that belongs to all of<br />
us,” Cr Livingstone said.<br />

THE LOOK and feel of New Brighton is in<br />
the balance.<br />
On page 1 today we reveal a survey over<br />
use of the red zone. A key part is whether<br />
Rawhiti Golf Club will move to Bexley and<br />
open the way up for housing on its current site.<br />
The Rawhiti course is publicly owned and is prime real estate<br />
for a developer.<br />
The plan would be to merge Rawhiti and Avondale Golf Club<br />
at Bexley. But Avondale owns its own land and has new clubrooms.<br />
Club members appear to be split on the move.<br />
Interesting times.<br />
Speaking of which we’ve refreshed our masthead and page 2,<br />
and there’s more to changes in the wind. I’ll keep you posted.<br />

MP joins fight to stop school site sale<br />
Bid to keep hall<br />
for community<br />
use ramps up<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
CHRISTCHURCH East MP<br />
Poto Williams may have her<br />
first challenge as a part of the<br />
new Government – saving the<br />
Central New Brighton School<br />
site.<br />
Pressure is now on Ms Williams<br />
to halt the sale of the site,<br />
which includes Roy<br />
Stokes Hall. It could<br />
be sold to private<br />
developers.<br />
The site is set to<br />
Poto<br />
Williams<br />
go on the market<br />
in February. Ms<br />
Williams has been<br />
in contact with both<br />
the minister of education and<br />
minister for land information<br />
about the issue.<br />
“I am hopeful that (Minister<br />
of Education Chris (Hipkins)<br />
will think about the concerns of<br />
the community and realise how<br />
well loved the Roy Stokes Hall is<br />
within the area.”<br />
The hall was built following<br />
a large fundraising effort from<br />
the community, which spanned<br />
more than 15 years.<br />
COMMUNITY EFFORT: Sylvia Smyth, Sue Davidson, Lisa<br />
Wingfield and Chris Sarrow are among those pushing to save<br />
Roy Stokes Hall on the old Central New Brighton School site.<br />
Coastal-Burwood Ward city<br />
councillor David East has another<br />
idea to save the school.<br />
“A concern is the fact that<br />
the Ministry of Education have<br />
underestimated the need for a<br />
school on this side of town. They<br />
amalgamated three of them and<br />
Rawhiti is bursting at the seams<br />
now and South Brighton is heading<br />
that way.”<br />
“Going forward, it may well be<br />
that we need another school in<br />
the not too distant future. Maybe<br />
the site needs to be re-developed<br />
Helping us,<br />
Helps tHe<br />
community<br />
Drop off or buy<br />
for a smaller school.”<br />
Land Information New Zealand<br />
is currently in the process<br />
of organising the site’s sale on<br />
behalf of the Ministry of Education.<br />
However, Ms Williams said the<br />
sale was not yet definite.<br />
“There is a chance it could be<br />
halted. The site is in a process<br />
but I understand officials are<br />
providing advice to the minister<br />
(of education) at the moment,”<br />
she said.<br />

Sylvia Smyth wants Ms Williams<br />
to put pressure on to save the<br />
site. “We are hoping she will<br />
help move it forward and she has<br />
been helping already. She has<br />
already written to the minister<br />
(for land information).”<br />
“We are also writing letters to<br />
the minister, so it’s all a full community<br />
effort,” she said.<br />
Ms Williams said there was<br />
a wider issue regarding vacant<br />
school sites on the east.<br />
“We know how tragic it was<br />
having the schools closed in the<br />
first place – we can see the absolute<br />
value of those schools turned<br />
into community hubs. I hope<br />
that that provides enough reason<br />
to show, at least in the shortterm,<br />
that it’s the best outcome<br />
for the community.”<br />
Currently there are demolition<br />
plans for the old Aranui High<br />
School site as well.<br />
The Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board has agreed to<br />
write to the Ministry of Education<br />
to request a meeting to<br />
potentially halt the demolition,<br />
so community groups can use<br />
the buildings.<br />

East moves to stop possible<br />
closure of New Brighton bank<br />
• By Sophie Cornish and Georgia<br />
O’Connor-Harding<br />
COASTAL-Burwood Ward<br />
city councillor David East has<br />
stepped in to try and stop the<br />
possible closure of Westpac’s<br />
New Brighton branch.<br />
Cr East has spoken to<br />
Development Christchurch Ltd<br />
to see if the city council-owned<br />
company can do anything to halt<br />
or stop the proposed closure.<br />
DCL is responsible for<br />
rejuvenating New Brighton.<br />
“We are talking with Westpac<br />
to see if we can get this decision<br />
put off for a while longer, until<br />
such time when we can see if<br />
the hot salt water pools and the<br />
business re-invigoration will<br />
impact on the business sector on<br />
this side of town,” said Cr East.<br />
New Brighton is one of three<br />
Westpac branches on the<br />
chopping block, along with<br />
Lincoln and Sydenham.<br />
Westpac says internet and<br />
mobile phone banking, as well<br />
as the changing population<br />
because of the earthquakes, are<br />
the reasons behind the planned<br />
closures.<br />
“Our customers are<br />
SHUTTING: Westpac is looking at closing its New Brighton<br />
branch.<br />

increasingly using technology<br />
for their banking needs, which<br />
is resulting in fewer branch<br />
transactions,” said Westpac<br />
spokeswoman Heather Shiels.<br />
Ms Shiels said online<br />
transactions had increased by<br />
66 per cent in five years, while<br />
customers using mobile-only<br />
devices had increased from 24 to<br />
39 per cent in the past two years.<br />
The earthquakes had also<br />
played a role, she said.<br />
“Since the 2010 and 2011<br />
earthquakes the region has<br />
experienced significant shifts<br />
in population, which have<br />
impacted where people are<br />
living, working and banking.”<br />
First Union, which represents<br />
bank staff, said it was “odd” for<br />
the earthquakes to be used as<br />
a reason for a branch to close,<br />
particularly in Lincoln.<br />
“The stats quite clearly<br />
demonstrate the population<br />
is growing . . . we have been<br />
puzzled by it,” First Union<br />
southern region secretary Paul<br />
Watson said.<br />

will be known by<br />

Fireworks display could be changed<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
MAJOR CHANGES could be in<br />
store for New Brighton’s annual<br />
Guy Fawkes fireworks event.<br />
Last week the city council<br />
released a survey asking for<br />
feedback about the event.<br />
Questions included whether<br />
the event should be moved to the<br />
middle of the year to celebrate<br />
Matariki (Maori new year),<br />
moved to the nearest weekend to<br />
<strong>November</strong> 5 and/or moved out of<br />
New Brighton.<br />
City councillor Sara<br />
Templeton backs the Matariki<br />
idea.<br />
“Changing it to a New Zealand<br />
celebration from an irrelevant<br />
400-year-old English one would<br />
be a great move and hosting it in<br />
winter at 6.30pm would be much<br />
more inclusive of the younger<br />
members of our community,” Cr<br />
Templeton said in a Facebook<br />
post.<br />
Coastal-Burwood Ward city<br />
councillor Glenn Livingstone<br />
wants something different all<br />
together.<br />
“I would like to build the event<br />
around celebrating our diversity<br />
as a city. We have that diversity<br />
in the Coastal-Burwood area<br />
with all the different nationalities<br />
and cultures.”<br />
Cr Livingstone would like to<br />
see the fireworks display have<br />
a Parihaka theme built around<br />
it, since the anniversary is<br />
celebrated on the same day as<br />
Guy Fawkes.<br />
“I’m sure we can build in<br />
a theme around celebrating<br />
Parihaka on the same day. I don’t<br />
want it shifted into the middle<br />
of the year . . . I think as a nation<br />
it is important that we look at<br />
Parihaka,” he said.<br />
Parihaka symbolises the<br />
peaceful resistance to confiscated<br />
Maori land following the<br />
invasion of 1600 Government<br />
troops on the western Taranaki<br />
settlement in 1881.<br />
City council manager of events<br />
and arts Karena Finnie said<br />
the survey was part of several<br />
completed every year by the<br />
events and arts team on a range<br />
of events to assist with future<br />
development.<br />
The primary issue with the<br />
event being in New Brighton is<br />
traffic management.<br />
BRIGHT<br />
LIGHTS: New<br />
Brighton’s<br />
fireworks<br />
display may<br />
face changes<br />
including<br />
being moved<br />
to the middle<br />
of the year<br />
to celebrate<br />
Matariki.<br />

ANASTASIYA<br />
KORZH<br />
Coastal-Burwood city<br />
councillor Ward David East<br />
agrees it could be done a lot<br />
better.<br />
“Everyone tries to get out of<br />
New Brighton via Pages Rd or<br />
QE II Drive. There are other<br />
ways including through South<br />
New Brighton or Parklands.”<br />
Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board chairwoman Kim Money<br />
also agreed, saying there are<br />
“some difficulties getting in and<br />
out.”<br />

Scholarship<br />
for Marian<br />
student<br />
MARIAN College student Keely<br />
Stuart has received a Ngā Mahi-a-<br />
Ringa Pūtaiao Scholarship from<br />
Otago University.<br />
The fully-funded scholarship<br />
will provide the year 11 student<br />
the opportunity to participate in a<br />
week-long programme during the<br />
holidays and experience being a<br />
science student on campus.<br />
Hands-On is a programme run<br />
by the university which encourages<br />
young New Zealanders to<br />
consider further study as a step in<br />
their career pathway.<br />
Keely is very excited to be accepted<br />
onto the programme.<br />
“I’m interested in a career in<br />
health, science and physiology so<br />
it will be a great opportunity to<br />
see what Otago University is like<br />
and whether I want to go on to<br />
study there,” she said.<br />
Hands-On at Otago co-ordinator<br />
and science education officer<br />
Sandra Copeland said this year<br />
a record 560 applications for 400<br />
places were received.<br />
The aim of the Ngā Mahi-a-<br />
Ringa Pūtaiao Scholarship is to<br />
inspire and motivate young Maori<br />
students to develop their science<br />
knowledge and skill.<br />

Plan to merge golf courses hits rough<br />
•From page 1<br />
“And I can’t see the point in<br />
forcing the community down<br />
a path they don’t want to go,”<br />
he said.<br />
Coastal-Burwood<br />
Community Board<br />
chairwoman Kim Money<br />
agreed: “Our community<br />
have made it quite clear that<br />
they don’t want it (Rawhiti<br />
golf course) to be used for<br />
residential housing, but that<br />
doesn’t mean there aren’t other<br />
alternatives.”<br />
The survey showed there<br />
was little support for largescale<br />
development. However,<br />
there was some support for<br />
innovative and adaptable<br />
housing.<br />
Said Regenerate<br />
Christchurch chief<br />
executive Ivan Iafeta:<br />
“The proposed landswap<br />
with Avondale<br />
and Rawhiti golf<br />
courses was generally<br />
not supported.<br />
“A number of people<br />
who responded used<br />
this engagement to show their<br />
support for specific projects.<br />
As we collate the feedback,<br />
some common themes are<br />
emerging.’’<br />
Ivan Iafeta<br />
But he would not rule out the<br />
land swap idea as a possibility.<br />
“A range of factors will<br />
be considered in the<br />
decision-making<br />
process, including public<br />
feedback,” said Mr Iafeta.<br />
However, the merger<br />
and switch to Bexley<br />
could be decided by the<br />
golf clubs.<br />
Said Rawhiti vicepresident<br />
Leon Zilinskas:<br />
“We are not committing<br />
ourselves to anything until a<br />
lot further into the process.<br />
Without details there’s no<br />
way we can make a decision<br />
on behalf of our members .<br />
. . from what I am hearing<br />
from the community, it seems<br />
unlikely to happen.”<br />
Avondale president Dave<br />
Buchanan said the club was<br />
divided over the idea, but he<br />
has major concerns about it.<br />
“Our golf course is owned<br />
debt free by the club and we<br />
also have just about completed<br />
the rebuild of our new<br />
clubrooms. Our club would<br />
be foolish to put our asset at<br />
risk, unless the proposal put<br />
forward is a better option than<br />
we already have and, at this<br />
point in time, it is not.”<br />

It is with pleasure<br />
that I am able to<br />
report to our community that Linwood College<br />
has had a most positive year.<br />
It has been a year of significant thinking and<br />
planning as we listen to our community’s<br />
input regarding how we should re-develop<br />
with our whole-school rebuild. Linwood<br />
College is clear-eyed about the forms of<br />
education that work for our students and we<br />
have this bedrock of understanding through<br />
our partnership with our community.<br />
Our community views education as<br />
the wellbeing of the whole person. All<br />
developmentally positive experiences enrich<br />
our students’ understanding of whom they<br />
are and broaden their outlook. They nurture<br />
students’ classroom focus by contextualising<br />
their learning and sowing the seeds of positive<br />
ambition.<br />
Sports Awards Night<br />
Linwood College believes in a ‘pathwayed<br />
curriculum’. This means the school, students<br />
and families knowing:<br />
1. Students’ learning and skills as they come<br />
into LC from our partner primary schools<br />
and building on these successes.<br />
2. How the learning at LC connects to what<br />
the students want to do when they leave<br />
school. “What are my post-school pathways<br />
and how does LC help me to achieve these<br />
pathways?”<br />
In this way learning is meaningful to the<br />
individual and strengths-based. At Linwood<br />
College the individual matters.<br />
Finally, the Education Review Office reviewed<br />
Linwood College in the second half of Term 3.<br />
The confirmed report is now public and I am<br />
delighted to say that the school is back on<br />
the three year return cycle. It is a testament<br />
to everyone’s collective vision and positive<br />
work for our school: Board of Trustees,<br />
staff, students, whanau, partner schools and<br />
community.<br />
Nga mihi nui and best wishes for the festive<br />
season and summer holiday.<br />

Once again, Linwood College’s annual 'Sports Awards' ceremony was a very successful<br />
evening. We were lucky enough to have Shane Thrower return to Linwood College as our guest<br />
speaker, talking about how sport has impacted his life and the opportunities that it can provide.<br />
Richard Edmundson (Principal) and Finlay Laird (Linwood College Board of Trustees member),<br />
presented the major awards for the evening. We also had special guests from Christs' College<br />
and ARA Institute of Canterbury in attendance.<br />
We would like to thank the Linwood College community and Linwood College Board of Trustees<br />
for their continuous support as we continue to pursue sporting excellence.<br />
Congratulations to all of our award winners for <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
Top awards were presented to the following accomplished students:<br />
The outdoor Duke of Edinburgh<br />
experience has helped us to<br />
learn new things about life and<br />
also about ourselves. Although<br />
it pushed us to our mental<br />

best experience ever! We have<br />
learnt to really be grateful for<br />
the small things in life!<br />

Desk<br />
I wish to acknowledge all of our 2018<br />
Senior Award recipients; I am so proud<br />
of you and your achievements to<br />
self, whanau, and school. Among the<br />
assembly of award winners are students<br />
who have always known they would<br />
do well at school and they will go on to undertake study at a tertiary level, be<br />
it university or Polytech. Beside those students are some who a few years ago<br />
could not have imagined completing Year 13, and are leaving Mairehau High<br />
School with NCEA Level 3 at the end of this year. Some students are gifted<br />
learners who have found pleasure in their learning. others have had to struggle<br />
for every achievement or unit standard. But each student can look to the future,<br />
nurtured by the Mairehau High School environment. I wish you all the very best.<br />
So, I congratulate all students on your achievements, and I also congratulate<br />
your parents, family and your teachers and all who have supported you during<br />
your years of school. You are our inspiration.<br />
“You are one, yet you are only one<br />
You cannot do everything, but you can do something<br />
Having hope, having aspirations, and always trying to improve<br />
I trust what you can do, you will do.”<br />
I also take this opportunity to wish all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New<br />
Year. go out and make a positive difference in the world.<br />

The Avon Shirley Masonic Lodge Awards<br />
The Avon Shirley Masonic Lodge good Citizenship Award – recognises service to<br />
the school. These awards are kindly donated by The Avon Shirley Masonic Lodge.<br />
To be selected for the Citizenship award, a student will display qualities which<br />
include tolerance, kindness and tact in relating to others. good Citizenship is<br />
reflected in a desire to help others, to put others first, and to serve others selflessly<br />
without expected reward.<br />
In the spirit of this award, the recipients have nominated an organisation which<br />
will receive a significant donation on their behalf. Together, our two students<br />
have decided that the generous gift of $500 from the lodge will go to KIDSCAN<br />
CHArITY.<br />
We are extremely pleased to introduce to you, SHILAH NorMAN. Shilah is<br />
described by our school staff as a caring, kind, honest and understanding young<br />
lady. She has the full trust of staff for any task, being 100% reliable, punctual<br />
and honest. Shilah demonstrates maturity and intelligence in her relationships<br />
with both peers and adults and is seen by her teachers as a ‘big-picture thinker’ –<br />
someone who thinks outside the ‘square’ and beyond the <strong>Pegasus</strong> Bay coastline to<br />
consider and reflect wisely on global issues and solutions.<br />
Shilah’s strength in leadership has been demonstrated over the years as she has<br />
involved herself in both the Student Council as co-chairperson, and as a member<br />
of the Student Executive. Shilah will gladly and willingly take on leadership roles<br />
in all areas of school and community involvement. It comes as no surprise that her<br />
career intentions are recorded as youth work, counselling or therapy work.<br />
our second recipient for the Citizenship Award is BENJAMIN LoWE. Benjamin<br />
is described by staff as diligent, self-motivated and self-disciplined. He is a<br />
determined individual with a strong work ethic. Ben demonstrates respect,<br />
warmth, maturity and intelligence, as well as a cheerful and positive attitude.<br />
This year Benjamin has been developing his leadership skills, first at a MHErC<br />
Communications Skills course, followed by participation in the city-wide World<br />
Vision Leadership Conference. He also supported the annual rSA red Poppy<br />
Day fundraising appeal. Benjamin has served in the Senior Student Executive<br />
(Community and Peer Support) and was a highly reliable and relatable Peer<br />
Support Leader. He recently demonstrated leadership in kapahaka performance<br />
and was one of only two student presenters at our annual Colours Award<br />
ceremony recently.<br />
over the years, Benjamin has willingly represented our school with pride. We are<br />
very proud of Benjamin’s citizenship record over the last five years and he will be<br />
warmly remembered for his significant service to our community.<br />

Christmas<br />
Creative wrapping<br />
adds intrigue to gifts<br />
Most of the malls offer a free gift-wrapping service, which<br />
is a great help at this busy time, but for those who prefer<br />
to wrap their own here are a few ideas to make gifts look<br />
unique and exciting.<br />
The first tip to make the job easier and<br />
the wrapping look more professional is to<br />
do the task on a flat surface – a table or a<br />
hard floor.<br />
Recycling has become an important<br />
aspect of modern-day life, and that’s easy<br />
to do with gift-wrapping. For example,<br />
those brown paper bags you have put<br />
aside are ideal, especially for odd-shaped<br />
gifts. To give them a Christmassy look,<br />
you could glue on those left-over pieces<br />
of wrapping paper from last year that are<br />
too small to use, and add a candy cane or<br />
chocolate with the gift tag.<br />
Another quirky idea is to wrap your gifts<br />
in fabric. You could cut up a garment you<br />
no longer wear, or look out those left over<br />
pieces from curtains or clothing you have<br />
made. Tie them up with fabric ribbon to<br />
complete the look.<br />
in <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong><br />
Using newspaper or cardboard boxes as<br />
wrapping is another recycling idea, and<br />
you could add a festive look by tying<br />
them with Christmas ribbon.<br />
For long-shaped gifts, why not wrap them<br />
to look like a Christmas cracker. Place a<br />
tube of cardboard around the item, then<br />
put it inside a sheet of wrapping paper,<br />
secure it with tape then scrunch up the<br />
ends like a cracker and tie them off with<br />
coloured ribbon.<br />
Kitchen foil is another wrapping option.<br />
Being silver and shiny it already has a<br />
festive look, which you could enhance<br />
with bright-coloured ribbon.<br />
Make a container, such as a jar, tin or<br />
tray one part of the gift. Complete it with<br />
chocolates, nuts or biscuits and wrap the<br />
gift in clear cellophane tied with brightcoloured<br />
ribbon.<br />

Readers respond to last<br />
week’s story about the<br />
Central New Brighton<br />
School site potentially<br />
going on the market to<br />
private investors<br />
Janice Belgrave – Similar<br />
issue with the Aranui School<br />
site on Breezes Rd. It is about<br />
to be demolished, and the is a<br />
magnificent community hall on<br />
site that needs to be saved. Community<br />
groups are trying to save<br />
it, but why the heck should they<br />
have to go to so much trouble?<br />
It should never be considered<br />
to be bulldozed, but these decisions<br />
were made by the previous<br />
Government and are difficult to<br />
turn over. So frustrating when<br />
perfectly good buildings are lost<br />
for no reason.<br />
Leah Young – I always knew<br />
this was the reason Central New<br />
Brighton School closed. The<br />
Government can get more money<br />
by selling the land than having a<br />
school on the site.<br />
Carolyn Stirling – The<br />
Government could turn these<br />
classrooms into senior studio<br />
apartments. My friend lives in a<br />
converted school in the United<br />
States.<br />
Kimberley Borell – And<br />
yet my grandsons had to move<br />
schools three times because of<br />
this school closing.<br />
Helen Young – Leave this<br />
hall alone. As a community<br />
person I’d like to see this stay<br />
in the community and not be<br />
sold off to developers. As it is,<br />
they took away the pool from<br />
the community which they<br />
had no right to do as this was a<br />
community asset as well. Our<br />
community needs to keep this<br />
as they closed the school which<br />
did not need to be done as they<br />
did not loose as many students as<br />
they clamed they did. The South<br />
New Brighton School should<br />
have been closed as they lost a<br />
lot more students from South<br />
New Brighton, Southshore and<br />
Bexley as that was where most<br />
of their students moved from.<br />
Stop taking away things from the<br />
New Brighton area, we have had<br />
enough of this happening to us.<br />
Marie Graham – Should<br />
definitely keep the hall . . . the<br />

A COMBINATION of<br />
community groups are helping<br />
low decile pupils get the school<br />
camp experience.<br />
Year 5 and 6 pupils at Linwood<br />
North School recently went on<br />
camp to Living Springs with 50<br />
per cent of their fees paid for.<br />
The Aorangi Sponsorship<br />
Programme coupled with Mitre<br />
10 and Christchurch Girls’ High<br />
School’s Interact group raised<br />
funds to get the pupils to the<br />
camp.<br />
The sponsorship programme<br />
was set up last year and aims to<br />
get underprivileged children an<br />
outdoor education experience.<br />
Linwood North School principal<br />
Sandra Smith said it’s not<br />
common for her pupils to go to<br />
camp and they are only able to if<br />
community funding is available.<br />
“The children that went had<br />
an amazing time. The thing that<br />
stood out for the teachers was<br />
that the children who usually<br />
find school challenging, really<br />
shone and blossomed at camp<br />

Aldridge.<br />
Some “business clusters” are<br />
now sticking with the schools<br />
long term and sponsoring camps<br />
every year, said Mr Aldridge.<br />
Last year, six low decile schools<br />
were able to attend the camp<br />
from community sponsorship.<br />
The programme is aiming for<br />
eight schools next year.<br />
The camps are based on<br />
outdoor adventure learning<br />
programmes which include low<br />
ropes courses, tree climbing,<br />
farm visits and biking.<br />
“It gets them out of their<br />

BEFORE<br />
AFTER<br />
Summer is coming! That means busy times at the Shirley Tennis Club<br />
as its season of competition and social tennis gets underway. The club<br />
has new post-quake facilities in the beautiful surroundings of Richmond<br />
Park and is keen to welcome new members, whether new to the sport<br />
or experienced tennis players. The club offers coaching opportunities,<br />
great new facilities and chances to enjoy tennis in a local, friendly,<br />
family-oriented environment.<br />
The club’s address is 102 Woodchester Ave. In these days of roadworks<br />
and detours, the best vehicle access is to turn into Medway St<br />
from North Parade and then turn left into Woodchester Ave; plenty of<br />
carparking is available. Contact phone number is 03 385 9531.<br />
The Shirley Tennis Club has been a part of the sporting scene in<br />
Richmond since 1925. The devastating earthquakes in 2011 saw<br />
damage to all nine courts and the clubrooms; worse than any other<br />
tennis club in Christchurch. This damage essentially took the club out<br />
of action for a summer season, but the club has bounced back with the<br />
full replacement of all courts and the clubrooms by <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
The club is in the final phase of what will be a $1 million investment<br />
that has taken place over the past six years. This investment has largely<br />
been funded through grants from charitable trusts and club fundraising,<br />
with a huge amount of voluntary effort from members at numerous<br />
working bees.<br />
The end result is a fantastic 9-court facility (including four courts that<br />
are floodlit) combined with brand-new clubrooms, making a collective<br />
package that is compelling for the eastern Christchurch tennis scene.<br />
The club has constructed courts on the old Shirley Bowling Club site,<br />
and has given its two back courts (closest to the old Marian College<br />
site) to the Richmond Workingmen’s Club cricket section who will use<br />
this space for training and storage facilities.<br />
Shirley Tennis Club is the fourth largest tennis club in Canterbury<br />
and is now keen to focus on promoting the club and facilities, and<br />
increasing membership levels. The club has recently appointed a new<br />
head coach following the departure of the long-standing coach due to<br />
a family illness. Matthew Woolman, who has recently returned from<br />
a USA tennis scholarship, will take over the role and be in charge of<br />
Team Coaching, Hot Shots for new junior players and Cardio Tennis and<br />
Tennis Xpress programmes for adults.<br />
Shirley Tennis Club has been fortunate in having so many keen<br />
members who have helped in many ways to keep the club in such good<br />
condition. The new tennis season began in August and the club is keen<br />
for new and returning members to come along and enjoy the great<br />
game of tennis in our facilities. The family-oriented club has strong<br />
focus on junior members.<br />
Subscription levels remain very affordable, being cheaper than most<br />
clubs in Christchurch, with an active committee that ensures smooth<br />
operation and a friendly atmosphere. Shirley supports organised play<br />
and coaching through all twelve months of the year, whilst also playing<br />
host to a variety of competitive and social events, which collectively<br />
include all aspects of our membership in club life.<br />
We have several types of club memberships:<br />
Seniors: Saturdays 1:30pm–5pm<br />
Mid-week players: Tuesdays 9:30am–noon<br />
Twilight players: Wednesdays at 6:00pm (commencing 27 September <strong>2017</strong>)<br />
Juniors: Saturday mornings 8 & under: 8:30am 9–12 years: 9:30am 13 and over: 10:45am<br />
NEW MEMBERS WELCOME<br />
For more information check out the club website (shirleytennis.co.nz) or contact Wayne Turner on 03 385-3320.

Local plumbers offering<br />
free checks on clay pipes<br />
While it is now almost seven years since the<br />
Christchurch earthquakes, damage to underground<br />
pipes is still becoming apparent, says<br />
the team at Laser Plumbing Christchurch<br />
East, who are based in Ferrymead.<br />
As they point out, homeowners can<br />
be completely unaware that they have<br />
earthquake damage to their clay pipes.<br />
Properties built before the 1970s are<br />
most likely to have clay pipes, and<br />
cracks in the pipes allow tree roots to<br />
enter and block drains. The damage can<br />
take some time to become apparent<br />
but when it does, it is usually fairly<br />
major, and costly to repair.<br />
Specialists in drain-laying and plumbing,<br />
Laser Plumbing are currently offering a<br />
free check on pipes. This involves a quick look with a<br />
camera, and if any damage is found they will discuss<br />
this with the owner. Laser Plumbing are experts in<br />
dealing with EQC and know how<br />
to make the process easy. The next<br />
step is to provide<br />
a drainage survey<br />
report to EQC, who<br />
in most cases, will<br />
cover the cost of this<br />
as well as replacing<br />
the damaged pipes.<br />
There are some<br />
conditions, which<br />
Laser Plumbing will<br />
discuss with the<br />
homeowner.<br />
“We have done hundreds of surveys<br />
and have been installing a lot of<br />
replacement PVC pipes over recent<br />
years,” says Carol McCann, who owns the<br />
company with her husband Chris Dick.<br />
“We want to make it easy for people by<br />
offering the check at no cost, and we<br />
urge people to get their pipes checked<br />
sooner rather than later as we do not<br />
know how long EQC will cover repairs for<br />
home-owners. Having them replaced will<br />
avoid serious problems in the future. It’s<br />
all done with minimum fuss.”<br />
Located in Tussock Lane, Ferrymead,<br />
Laser Plumbing services customers right<br />
across the city. They are very proud of<br />
their team of qualified tradesmen, who<br />
carry out plumbing and drainage work<br />
with care and efficiency. They are the sort<br />
of guys that you would be happy to have<br />
working in and around your home, Carol says.<br />

wish to leave at all!<br />
Offering all the benefits of the rural<br />
lifestyle overlooking fields and grazing<br />
animals but without the hard work of a<br />
lifestyle block. The house is set on just over<br />
1800 sq m of land with a landscaped garden<br />
which will delight a gardener.<br />
With four bedrooms, two bathrooms and<br />
a large living room there is the opportunity<br />
for an extended family to coexist here with<br />
a quite separate wing or perhaps for those<br />
that like to have friends to stay you will find<br />
the layout of the home is perfect for this.<br />
The added benefit of three car garaging will<br />
keep your vehicles safe and secure. There<br />
is ample off-street parking as well for your<br />
visitors.<br />
Surrounded by the Port Hills with all<br />
the amenities these provide for those who<br />
like an active lifestyle and offering those<br />
who prefer perhaps to wine and dine an<br />
abundance of choice of winery and cafes.<br />
Don’t hesitate - view now, it is rare<br />
indeed to find this combination of rural life<br />
without the burden of a lifestyle block.<br />
Open Home Saturday 2nd December<br />
12:30pm - 1:00pm.<br />
