Boycott ends cafe business
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A COMMUNITY boycott has
led to the planned shutdown of
the Te Hapua: Halswell Centre
cafe.
Last week, the city council announced
that a new cafe operator
would be sought to take over
from Wellington-based cafe,
Wishbone.
Wishbone is to leave the centre
after it came to a “mutual agreement”
with the city council.
In February, the Western News
reported that Halswell residents
had called for a boycott of the
cafe because it was not a locally
based business.
Wishbone general manager Jo
Parang said it had suggested to
the city council that it find a new
operator after public “backlash”
contributed to its business decision
to leave.
The Western News has learned
that the boycott has had a
large commercial affect on the
cafe.
Ms Parang said some residents
felt it was “quite unjust” that a
Wellington company was being
branded as local.
The Halswell Community
Project, which called for the
boycott, said it had highlighted
the importance of getting a cafe
operator more in
touch with the local
community.

the cafe, but “imagined” it was
operating at a loss.
The Halswell Community
Project believed the city council
should be supporting local business.
The city council declined
to comment on whether Wishbone
was being replaced due to a
boycott from the community.

Milestone for community building
• By Tom Doudney
A CAMPAIGN to retain
a former children’s library
building for community use
will come full circle on Saturday
when it reopens as the Hoon
Hay Community Centre on
Saturday.
The volunteer-run library
on Hoon Hay closed in 2014
due to low patronage and the
city council was looking at
selling the building before
the Spreydon-Heathcote
Community Board arranged
public consultation.
The drive to keep it was
boosted by a strong community
response and a city council
analysis which showed there
wasn’t enough small meeting
space in the Hoon Hay area.
Hoon Hay Community
Association chairwoman Suzie
Sauer said it was hoped the building
would become a bit of a hub.
“That will be a really awesome
addition to our community I
think – somewhere that we can
hold events and that people just
think of as a place to meet and
learn things and grow and to
belong, really.”
A range of other groups have
expressed interest in using the
space including the Rowley
Resource Centre, a toy library,
a whitewater rafting club, an

antiques and collectables club
and a post-natal depression
group, among others.
Spreydon-Heathcote
Community Board member
Melanie Coker, who was
involved in promoting the
retention of the building, said
getting this point had only
happened because of the hard
work of many people.
“I believe this opening event
is a milestone for Hoon Hay and
shows how a community that
works together for a purpose
can achieve outcomes that
at first may not have seemed
possible.”
She said there had already
been two community events
within the last six months with
more than 100 people attending.

McMaster & Heap
Veterinary practice
BLOOD SAVES LIVES
Steve Heap, at
McMaster & Heap,
has recently
performed 2 blood
transfusions in 5
days on young
dogs at the
Practice, both cases
in his own time.
This procedure
isn’t common
practice but when
you have a patient presented pale,
collapsed and bleeding out essentially, you
have to be geared up to immediately transfuse.
You also need a capable skilled team around
you as this isn’t a one person
job as you’ll see below. A blood
transfused patient needs to be
intensively monitored by a nurse to
make sure we don’t get transfusion
reactions ( ie tremors, vomiting,
labored breathing, swelling and skin
reactions, seizures, coma or cardiac
arrest). The important things are
having a team capable of performing
the transfusion and closely
monitoring the patient for reactions.
“Poppy” the Hungarian Visla made
a full recovery after her near death
experience of ingesting rat bait.
“Bella” the Airedale unfortunately
wasn’t so lucky. She initially improved,
but after a few weeks of intensive care
and huge amounts of love, was very sadly put
to sleep after complications with her kidneys.
This article is specially dedicated to Bella.
Obviously both cases required blood fast.
A dog can take another dogs blood ONCE
without being cross matched to check blood
type. We obtained 500mls of blood and 200mls
of plasma for Bella from the After Hours clinic
on a Sunday and Steve obtained 400mls of
blood from Clive, a German Short haired
pointer, for Poppy. We have the transfusion
bags and filters at work and the blood is
delivered slowly via IVF pumps over 2-3 hours.
A vet must sit with the patient the entire time
and monitor vitals. The blood is delivered via
large bore catheter into the cephalic vein. Both
dogs accepted the procedure
well – admittedly both
were very ill.
Having blood readily
available is helpful. We
didn’t but luckily were
able to source it fast. In
the past I’ve used Lola
for obtaining blood
from but since she’s had
cancer and received
chemotherapy, she now
isn’t a suitable candidate.
Six year old Bella presented initially for
unexplained bleeding from her bowel. After
a lengthy work up involving blood testing,
radiographs, abdominal ultrasound, bladder
catheterization and intensive care monitoring,
she deteriorated quickly and needed a blood
transfusion in the hope it would save her
life. She was losing large amounts of blood
from her urinary system and large bowel. Her
kidneys were failing, she was depressed and
inappetant. Despite intravenous fluids and
over 10 different medications she was still
deteriorating. We still don’t really know what
caused the huge blood loss but the transfusion
initially helped, providing her with clotting
factors, blood and an immune system to fight
whatever was going on.

Poppy, the 14 month old Visla, knibbled on
RAT BAIT 3 days before presenting near death.
This poison destroys platelets and coagulation
factors and causes their victims to bleed to
death because they can’t clot blood. Within
hours Poppy would have died due to blood
loss into her chest, preventing oxygenation and
ventilation. She presented collapsed, was as
white as a sheet and in total respiratory distress
– she couldn’t breathe at all. Our amazing
team moved quickly, calling in Steve and Kirsty
who worked together over 4 hours – Kirsty
draining the blood from her chest ( the blood
was around her lungs) and Steve transfusing
her with Clive’s blood. She was monitored by
two nurses throughout
the procedure.
Her recovery was
instantaneous – after
being transfused she
basically leapt into the
back of the car, totally
transformed. She was
monitored carefully
at the After Hours
clinic that evening
and returned to us the
next day.
These two cases
highlight to me the
need for speed and
urgency in seeing
these cases ( whether
it be late at night or over a weekend),
dedication to our patients, commitment to our
clients and skilled and passionate professionals
prepared to go the extra mile. Our nurse took
the call from Poppy’s owner seriously, late on
a Thursday night when we were getting ready
to close. At that stage we had no idea Poppy
had ingested rat bait. She was just quiet and
very lethargic. Not the norm for a 14 month
old Visla! Our nurse also asked the colour of
Poppy’s gums and was told they were white!!
This raised alarm bells. Our consulting vet that
night was fully booked until 7pm so our nurse
called Steve, who immediately responded to
the call.
A special mention must be made to the
dedicated clients who trusted in us and
allowed us a chance at saving their dogs by
giving blood, which in itself isn’t without risks.
When we undertake a transfusion, we have
no real idea of outcome but we all do our very
best. Our patients all deserve a chance.
Dr Michele McMaster
This is specially dedicated to “Bella” who
was so stoic and fought so hard to make a
full recovery. She was a patient I’ll never
forget. No matter how sick she felt, she
always had a tail wag for me. She was
kind, trusting of us all and brave until the
end. Not being able to pull her though
affected us all. RIP dear Bella. You are
never forgotton.

Low cost fruit and
vege plan spreading
• By Tom Doudney
A SOCIAL enterprise
supplying low cost fruit
and vegetables which
started in Bryndwr has
taken off across the city
and is now spreading
around the country.
Reverend Craig Dixon
started Food Together as
a non-profit fruit and vegetable
co-operative about
30 years ago when he was
vicar of Bryndwr Anglican
Church.
“It started as a need in an
area of kind of low socioeconomic
households
who were faced with limited
income and a limited
knowledge of what to do
with a number of fresh
food products,” he said.
After operating the
single hub in Bryndwr for
many years, Mr Dixon
decided to expand the
service following the 2010
and 2011 earthquakes.

of churches, as we

Giving young people a good name
HELPING CHILDREN who
have parents struggling with
addiction is just one of the
reasons Tasharn Rangi was
awarded a Canterbury Youth
Award.
The awards were held for the
first time, with Miss Rangi, of
St Martins, winning the Community
Action Award.
The 16-year-old was
recognised for her work as a
volunteer with Familial Trust
and coaching an under-13
netball team.
The Familial Trust treats all
types of addiction, including
eating disorders, gambling, sex
addiction and obsessive working.
It opened in 2002 and will
celebrate 15 years of service to
the community in November.
Her award was described as
the “giving youth a good name
award”. It signifies her tireless
effort to actively get involved
and commit her time and energy
to making a significant impact
in the community.
On the night, there were 23
individuals and four groups
nominated in eight categories
and six supreme awards.

Mobile plan
for computer
training service
• By Tom Doudney
A SPREYDON-BASED charitable
trust which helps provide
computer and internet access
and training is looking to take its
services on the road.
Addington.net is looking to
start a new initiative where its
members travel around the city
to help the staff and clients of
not-for-profit, non-governmental
organisations improve their computer
skills.
The trust moved from Spreydon
St to a new location on Barrington
St in December. Previously, it was
based on Lincoln Rd for many
years.
Addington.net community liaison
co-ordinator Lynda Sawyers
said the initiative had come about
after chairwoman Wendy Butcher
carried out a research project to
determine if there was still a need
for the trust’s services.
“She talked to many organisations
and people to get an idea
of what their needs were,” Ms
Sawyers said.
“She found that yes, there is still
a need for what we do, but rather
than expecting people to come
to our site, there is a need for our
service to become mobile and for
us to go to other sites.”

Bringing experimental artist’s work
Alex O’Keefe
Canterbury University’s Alex O’Keefe, 28, is bringing
to life one of the artworks thought up by Len Lye, a
Christchurch artist known for experimental films and
kinetic sculptures. Hannah Samson-Barry chats to
him about motor-cycle racing and skateparks
Tell me a little about your role
at Canterbury University.
I work in the field of
mechanical engineering research
at the university. Part of this role
is a small amount of teaching
and mentoring. I really like
working at UC because of the
exposure to a wide range of
different fields of study in such
close proximity, its a 5min walk
from fine arts to firing lightning
bolts in the electrical engineering
department.
You made the move from
Queenstown? Why the shift?
I came to Christchurch because
after working for a year in
Queenstown after I finished high
school I realised that I wasn’t doing
anything with my life, so my
parents suggested engineering as
a pursuit. Canterbury University
had the best reputation in New
Zealand and it’s reasonably close
to home. So I enrolled for first
year engineering and moved up
here.
Can you tell me about life
before you became a doctor,
what was it like growing up in
Queenstown?
Queenstown was a crazy place
to grow up. It’s the adventure
capital of New Zealand so it was
a lot of fun. Small town vibes but
with more of a city feel so we got
the best of both worlds. It’s safe
and fun and great.
How did you get into mechanical
engineering, so you
mentioned your parents?
Yes, my parents recommended
it as a course of study. I had
no idea what it was other than
basically building bridges. After
the first year of engineering you
figure out what the different
disciplines are and mechanical
engineering was a fit in terms of
the fact that I like solving practical
problems and working with
my hands and doing projects.
How did you first become
involved with Len Lye’s work?
After I finished my degree I
was looking for employment
as a mechanical engineer and
I was obligated to be in the
city at the time but none of the
HANDS-ON: Alex O’Keefe has taken up the challenge of
bringing artist Len Lye’s ideas to life.
jobs that I could find I found
enough interest in or thought
I’d be happy there. I looked at
the postgraduate curriculum at
Canterbury University and one
of the projects that was offered
was this Len Lye project that I
work on and to me that sounded
like the biggest challenge I could
imagine. So that’s the first time I
heard of Len, I researched him,
figured out who he was and his
background and decided that
this was the project for me.
How is it bringing these great
ideas and designs to life?
Len Lye projects are fascinating
to work on because part of it
is that you get to search through
all of his notes, drawings and all
of the material that he produced
on an artwork.
Things that other people never
get to see. You get to work with
small models that he made so
then your job as an engineer is to
translate all of these intentions as
an artist into a piece of art that
he would have been happy with.
So it’s inspiring as you get to
see subtleties of the reasons why
he wanted this motion because it
had these intricacies and chaos
in there that was so exciting. So
when you find these things out
and come to understand what
Len was trying to create it’s really
fulfilling when you get to
that point when you’ve worked
towards an art piece that will be
a Len Lye artwork.
It’s also kind of stressful because
Len gives you these crazy
challenges where he says shoot a
30m lightning bolt across the sky
and I want things to lift up 100m
into the air.
So he was limitless in his imagination
but as an engineer you
are very limited in what you are
capable of so you have to come
up with clever ways that you can
bring to life Len’s ideas, even
though they were grand scale
and crazy.

to life through engineering
Why do you persevere with
these projects?
That’s a really good question.
Something I ask myself and
I have no answer too. I guess
because we are working towards
a goal and I can see the end
result, and the end result is that
we get to share Len Lye who is
one of New Zealand’s and the
world’s most renowned artists
of the 20 th -century. We get to
share these visions that he had
with everyone and show why this
guy was such a spectacular and
inspiring artist. So I see the end
goal as being a really fulfilling
result of these projects.
After spending so much time
there, what do you think of
Canterbury University?
I do think it’s quite a spectacular
place and I do think the
pursuit of engineering, whatever
discipline it might be, or the
sciences for that matter is the
best pursuit for anyone who is
mechanically or scientifically
minded. By going through the
engineering courses at Canterbury
you not only give yourself
the skills, and technical skills
you get from the course, but it
gives you a new analytical way of
looking at your life and it allows
you to take on projects outside
of work like motorbike racing

which I would have never done
without being at Canterbury
and understanding that you can
achieve these things and these
people that do them, they are not
this tier above, your just being
confident enough to tackle these
problems.
Do you get any down time
when you’re not working on
these projects?
Yes I have down time. But in
my down time I like to work on
other projects. I treat these projects
as a job but outside of that I
have time to skateboard and ride
motor-cycles and pursue other
interests of mine.
Tell me more about the
motor-cycle racing, how did
that begin?
Being in the mechanical engineering
department engines and
motor vehicles are an integral
part of that whole course and
community. So I was placed in an
office with two other motor-cycle
racers and as with anyone that
seems to be with the engineering
department post-grad they were
infectiously enthusiastic about
the sport and it rubbed off on me
SPEED: Dr O’Keefe racing the yellow Yamaha at Mike Pero
Motorsport Park.
and I got tricked into being part
of it. No regrets at all.
What’s your motor-cycle of
choice?
FXR 150 small cubic capacity
race bike called a bucket. Because
bucket racing is heaps of fun.
What is your favourite place
to go on your motor-cycle?
Up the Summit Rd and around
Godley Head in the summer,
or at the Mike Pero Motorsport
Park (Ruapuna).
How about skateboarding,
didn’t you help bring about a
new skatepark in the city?
As part of a marketing campaign
an American company
Levi’s and Monster Children sent
their professional skateboard
team to Christchurch to help
build a new skatepark for the city
which had suffered from the major
earthquakes. So they linked
up with me and a bunch of other
local skateboarders and we got
together with the youth and we
built a small DIY skatepark at
the stockyards, so give something
back to the community.
They gave something back, I
just helped. It is there to be used
for everyone and we encourage
anyone to maintain or improve it
as they wish.
What are the best places to
skate?
Christchurch is a great place
to skate due to wide range of
small skateparks in the wider
city. Templeton, Rolleston,
Belfast, Leeston, Kaiapoi all
have relatively recent skate parks
which offer a diverse range of
things to skate. These small
community initiative skateparks
are a great thing for kids and big
kids alike.

What do you think of
the new school?
Port Hills Labour
MP Ruth Dyson
says people should
have their say on
how they would
like Linwood
College to look
like in five years
time, with a whole school rebuild
planned
MANY OF you will have noticed
billboards around our suburbs talking
about a new school coming – have your
say. And you may have talked with people
at one of our markets, outside the
supermarket or at meetings about this
new school.
This project is one of the best examples
of collaboration and taking an
opportunity for improvement that I
have seen.
It is called the legacy project and is taking
a very frank look at Linwood College in the
future, the fact that it now has a new principal
who is very community-focused and
outward looking, and the complete rebuild
of the school which will be under way soon.
The project asks the questions about
what people think of the school, what
they would like to see from the school,
and what it should look like in five
years’ time.
The community consultation has been
fantastic, with many parents who are
looking at colleges in the future, coming
along and having their questions
answered in an honest and open way.
We all know that there have been problems
at Linwood College over the last
few years. But we know that it has an
excellent provider of quality education
for many local children and with the
right leadership, can become a school of
choice. The fact that it will be brand new
is an added bonus.
It is a huge opportunity for our communities
to have their say and be part
of making the new high school a place
for of opportunity. All our children and
young adults deserve the best possible
education. This is an exciting piece of
work that will deliver that in our community.
If you haven’t been part of the
discussion yet, it’s not too late. The
community meetings have finished but
you can share your ideas online www.

Help build a great school for our
future leaders.
Readers respond to last
week’s Southern View
article about businesses
opposing the loss of car
parks on Ferry Rd, part
of a city council plan to
revitalise the area.
Michael J. Brathwaite,
of Spreydon – Regarding
the council’s plans for the
Woolston village, when
will the fools who came
up with these crazy ideas
get it into their thick heads
that people go to shopping
centres to buy things, put
them in their cars, and
drive home?
No-one goes to such a
place to admire trees or be
impeded by median strips
and other obstacles on the
roads – all without averting
one’s glance from one’s
speedometer. How do they
expect to revitalise the area
while doing all they can to
make people stay away from
it?
An April magazine
article by architect David
Sheppard confirms what
we’ve long suspected, ie
that public consultation “is
generally token only and . .
. carried out once key decisions
and strategies have
been made by those leading
the charge.”
I’ve lodged submissions
against many plans such as
GOING: A

SLOAN
the Woolston one, but they
have always gone ahead
anyway.
To support their case, I
imagine the traffic engineers
did their survey of the
demand for parking in the
area in the middle of the
night.
Steve Muir, of central
city – I strongly support the
plans to move car parks off
the road though Woolston.
Evidence shows a good
cycle lane though there will
likely improve business,
not reduce it, and business
owners need to get out of
the ‘car parks outside equals
money’ mentality.

Parents of Year 6 students are
encouraged to take a good look
at their child’s full primary school
when choosing schooling for
2017.
Why change schools when you don’t
need to? Full Primary schools are tried
and tested and have developed in
innovative and cost effective ways since
their inception in 1877. They are as
important to the provision of education
in 2017 as they were in 1877.
What makes them successful?
• They have evolved over time and have responded to the
different demographic changes since 1877.
• They are located in neighbourhoods; they cater for
families and respond to community needs.
• They are staffed by highly trained teachers who know
curriculum levels from Level 1 – 5 who have had the same
teacher training as teachers in other Year 7 and 8 school
types.
• Teachers in the student’s current full primary school
know about individual students learning progress and
learning style from Year 1 – 8.
• Developing the whole child, flexibility, nurture,
innovation and child centred learning sum up full primary
schools.
• Year 7 and 8 students are the leaders and role models
along with the adults in a full primary school with
opportunities to nurture Year 1 – 6 students.
• School organisation in a full primary school fits the needs
of students not the timetable.
• All Year 7 and 8 students are included in leadership
opportunities, sporting opportunities, school community
job opportunities, buddy responsibilities and role model
expectations. They are seen by others in the school as
the leaders and younger students look up to them.
• These opportunities and strategies to build leadership,
key competencies and resilience are available to all Year
7 and 8 students in a full primary.
Lincoln Primary
What does the research tell
us about the learning needs
of Year 7 and 8 students?
• Curriculum that is relevant, challenging,
integrative, and exploratory
• Multiple learning and teaching
approaches
• Assessment and evaluation programmes
that promote quality learning
• Organisational structures that support
meaningful relationships and learning
• Educators who value working with the
age group
• Courageous, collaborative leadership
• School-wide efforts and policies that
foster health, wellness, and safety
• Multifaceted guidance and support
services
• School-initiated family and community
partnerships
Looking at the above list it becomes clear that it isn’t school
type or school buildings that make the difference for Year
7 and 8 students. It is instead the innovative approach to
learning and the attitude of professionals toward this group of
students. This can happen in any school setting as long as the
leadership, teachers and non-teaching staff are committed
to the social and emotional development of this group of
learners. Full Primary Schools are providers of Year 7 and 8
education in every way that other types of schools are.

And also
The research also provides insight into
what works for Year 7 and 8 students:
Ministry of Education by Dinham and Rowe
of the Australian Council for Educational
Research. 2007
• From the broader ‘teaching and learning literature’,
there is strong evidence that the quality of teaching
which students receive at all levels and stages of
schooling is of major importance in influencing
achievement outcomes for students.
• While productive and positive student-teacher
relationships are identified as an important
characteristic of highly performing schools
catering for middle years’ students, it needs to be
acknowledged that good teachers and school leaders
at all levels of schooling is what works.
• It is therefore debateable whether at least some
aspects of the philosophy and enactment of middle
schooling is any different from ‘good’ teaching and
effective schooling generally in all school types.
The literature is clear in advocating ‘middle schooling
approaches focusing on quality teaching and
enhanced learning’ rather than on school type.
Therefore it is what happens in the classroom to
support learning and what happens across the school
to cater for the specific developmental, cognitive,
physical, emotional and social needs of Year 7 and 8
that makes the difference. Not school type.
The research on middle schooling and its implications
to provide quality education to Year 7 and 8 students
is as applicable to full primary school as it is for other
schooling types.

Christchurch Intermediate
Schools
Specialists in Year 7 and Year 8 Education
OPEN NIGHTS 2016
Intermediates are two year
coeducational schools specialising
in the education of students in their
early adolescence, 11-13 year olds.
Intermediates are exciting places for students to
begin their adventure into adolescence. In addition
to providing a rich, age and stage, middle-yearsspecific
curriculum in a stimulating, challenging and
rewarding environment, intermediates cater for many
interest groups and clubs.
Early adolescence is a unique and
special time of immense physical,
intellectual, emotional and social
development. These changes create
specific needs and challenges that
are significantly different from
the needs of younger children or
older adolescents. Teachers in
intermediate schools are highly
qualified, experienced and skilled
teachers of students in their early
adolescence. Our teachers establish
strong relationships and particularly
enjoy working with this age group.
It is not surprising that New Zealand and overseas
research concludes that the quality of teaching is
one of the most significant factors influencing how
well students learn at school. Given that quality
teaching occurs in most New Zealand schools
regardless of their type, it’s only natural to consider
other factors that might make a difference for early
adolescents.
The young people at intermediates are changing
rapidly – physically, emotionally and socially.
Intermediates focus solely on this age group and
are well positioned to meet their needs. A mix
of specialist and home room teachers helps to
provide the choices, challenge, love for practical
activities and academic rigour in the students’
learning. Resourcing, both human and physical, that
is developed deliberately to meet early adolescent
student needs, helps to build self esteem, assist
students to develop and find strengths and links
learning with career aspirations. Teachers who are
focussed solely on the middle years are able to work
collaboratively to provide level-appropriate engaging
Our aim is for all of our students
to leave our intermediate schools
feeling confident in themselves
as successful learners and well
equipped with the knowledge, skills
and attributes needed for high
achievement not only at the next
stage of their formal education but
as life long learners.
programmes that connect learning to students’ lives
and interests and provide challenge for all students
to achieve to the best of their ability.
Current intermediate school students list these
points:
In particular, early adolescents
enjoy learning that is authentic and
meaningful to them in an environment
where they have choice and a real say
in what and how they learn. Students
enjoy the challenge of new and
different learning opportunities that
are provided by specialist teachers in
technology, science, performing arts
and visual arts. There also remains an
emphasis on continuing to develop
skills to a high level in literacy and
mathematics.
1. “There are more children of my own age here
because our school takes all the year sixes from a
few different schools and they come to one school.
And because we’ve got bigger numbers of pupils
we can have more sports teams and … there’s
something for everyone” Y8 child
2. “Our school has different specialist teachers for
subjects like music art, P.E. and technology, so we
get used to that – which is good preparation for
secondary school” Y7 girl
3. “At intermediate school everything is for our two
years (age group).” Y8 girl
4. “I like that we don’t have to look out for little
children. That was neat at our old (primary) school
but it’s nice to just have our own age here. Y7 boy
Intermediate schools work very
closely together to collectively provide
a wide range of extracurricular
opportunities for students. For
example, there are a number of interintermediate
sport competitions such
as swimming, winter sport, summer
sport, athletics and cross country.
5. “It’s good that we don’t have big secondary kids
here. We can worry about them when we’re older…
and then we’ll be big too. Y8 boy

CONTINUING EDUCATION
Scheme Helps Pasifika
Tradespeople Succeed
every year ara institute of Canterbury offers Pasifika Trades Training
scholarships for anyone of Pasifika descent to train in trades fees-free.
The iniTiaTive was created to
help Pasifika people contribute to the
rebuild of Christchurch and is run in
collaboration with leaders from the
Pasifika community and government
agencies with Pasifika church ministers
playing a key role in nominating people
and offering pastoral support.
Because everyone is different, there
are a number of options and pathways
available to help Pasifika men and women
start a career in the trades. To make
sure every student succeeds, support is
available from the Centre of Māori and
Pasifika achievement, with pastoral care
advisors helping not only with study
matters but with anything that impacts on
students completing their studies.
Trades training has evolved and that’s
good news for learners. Classroombased
theory sessions are being phased
out in favour of shorter, more frequent
theory sessions in new workshops so
that students can practice what they have
learned straight away. The new style will
suit many Pasifika learners, especially
those who would rather be using their
hands than sitting for long periods of
time.
ara recently upgraded the trades
training facilities with $18.9 million of
government investment so that workshops
are even more like what students will find
out in their industry.
ara has close connections with
employers and the programme is designed
to get graduates out working in industry
after they graduate.
Mid-year intake is now open with July
starting dates for electrical engineering,
Fabrication, Furniture and Joinery,
General engineering, and Plumbing.
Carpentry, Painting & Decorating and
Plasterboarding start again in august.
if you know someone who would
benefit from getting a head start on a
career in trades and they are Pasifika,
tell them about the opportunities at ara

WOOLSTON Brass are
heading off to Napier to
compete in a national
band championship next
month.
This is not the first time
the band has competed in
the National Brass Band
Championships. They’ve
won the competition 24
times since 1967.
As part of a warm-up to
the competition Woolston
Brass are hosting a concert
on Sunday to showcase
their talent and to celebrate
their 125th birthday.
Part of celebrations will
also include releasing their
sixth album.
Woolston Brass was
established in 1891 and
over the years they have
competed in numerous
competitions, performed
hundreds of times and
released five albums.
The latest album titled
The Woolstonian will go
on pre-sale at the concert.
It features classical pieces
such as Jason Katsikaris
and the Leyland Band’s
Visions of Kolkhis. The
album will also include
a march written by New
Zealand composer Kenneth
Young who wrote it
especially for the album.
“It is a huge honour for
me to be asked to write a
march for the band I grew
up playing in which has
given me so much musical
pleasure,” Mr Young said.
The album was funded
by a Boosted Campaign,
which helps artist and
groups raise money
through public funding
and donors.
Over two and a half
months the band prepared
to record the album,
practising two nights a
week. The 10 track CD
was recorded over one
weekend at Orange Studio
in Ferrymead.

Digital Technologies at
Mairehau High School
Digital Technologies Design, and Visual
Communication and Workshop Materials
are the learning teams that are involved in
the initial stages of a project to build two
weather stations in separate locations.
The first challenge for term one was
to use the project plan for the school’s
STEM project as a basis to design a Year
11 Digital Technologies course that met
the individual needs of the students,
curriculum delivery requirements and
NCEA assessment requirements. It’s a
popular course, with enthusiasm for it
fuelled by the work students do in this
learning area in the junior school.
The students opting for this course
have a range of skills and abilities.
Individual courses were designed to
establish the base skills needed to begin
the construction, and programming of
the electronic system that will measure,
record and display weather data.
The main emphasis for the first term
was to establish a suitable level of coding
skills in all the students. The learning
progress has enabled all students to be in
a position to participate directly in the
coding of the electronic recording system
for the Weather Stations.
Some students are operating at the
higher skill level and they will write the
code to drive the dynamic data driven
website that will display the data. These
students will be assessed against Level 2
NCEA standards.
Electronic systems have been the
focus of learning and assessment this
term. Arduino boards have been used
to construct small to medium sized
projects. These projects enable students to
understand the electronic componentry
needed in the construction of the weather
stations.

New Christchurch schools
to offer students more
AVoNSIDE GIrLS’ and Shirley Boys’ will
be the first single sex secondary schools in
New Zealand’s history to share a campus
– an arrangement their principals say will
enable the schools to offer their students
new opportunities.
The schools are to be built on part of
QEII Park, next to the Christchurch City
Council’s Eastern recreation and Sport
Centre.
Avonside Girls’ High School Principal
Sue Hume says the campus will be brand
new and state of the art.
“Each school will have its own teaching
spaces and students will spend most of
their day in a single sex environment.
That’s important to us. research shows
that single sex education benefits both girls
and boys…boys do better academically
and girls participate more. That’s because
they have space to learn and focus away
from the opposite gender,” says Sue Hume.
John Laurenson says the new campus is
a step forward.
“Because we are going to work together,
we’ll be able to offer more. For example,
we’ll be sharing some facilities, including
a performing arts auditorium, theatre
and cultural space, which enables us to
build bigger and better assets,” says John
Laurenson.
Another benefit is that the students
will be able to interact with and learn
alongside peers from their partner school.
“Students from both schools will share
buses to and from the campus, they’ll all
be able to use the café, our new library
and learning centre and our other shared
facilities. This means that not only will
they have all the benefits of a single sex
education, they’ll have social opportunities
not available at other single sex schools,”
says Sue Hume.
The Ministry of Education is currently
working on how the new schools will
be zoned but the schools are focusing
on catering to residents who live east of
Colombo Street.
“Because we will be servicing a wide
area, we will be establishing a network of
buses to service the campus,” says John
Laurenson.
Best of all, Sue Hume says the new
campus will open in 2019 so is not too far
away.
“In fact many of our current students
will be making the journey to the new
campus with us and those who join our
schools in the next two years will spend
their senior years there. It’s been a long
and sometimes hard road to get to the
new campus, but we are confident we’re on
track to create something even better than
what we had before the earthquakes.”

Dual mother and teacher role
provides unique perspective
HAEATA CoMMuNITY Campus will
provide more than cutting-edge facilities
when it opens in 2017, says new Director
of Learning rebecca Wilson – it is a “once
in a lifetime opportunity” for students,
their whānau and the East.
rebecca’s three children will be among
the first students attending the new school
next year.
“As a mother and a teacher I know that
Haeata is the best choice for my kids,
as they will be valued for who they are
as individuals and given the chance to
explore their different passions through
Haeata’s personalised approach to
learning,” says rebecca.
“I also love the fact that they will be at
one school for the rest of their schooling,
as Haeata caters for students from years
1-13. They can stay together for their
education and not be separated.”
Haeata is a “new beginning” for the East,
says rebecca.
“The new campus will change things
for the better, providing a new learning
community with endless opportunities –
with students right in the heart of it.”
rebecca joins Haeata’s Senior Leadership
Team after 13 years at Bromley School, the
last two as Deputy Principal.
As Director of Learning at Haeata,
rebecca is part of a team designing
systems and structures that will ensure a
successful start in 2017. Some of the key
tasks include engaging with families and
students from the contributing schools,
strengthening relationships with Māori
and Pasifika communities, planning for
diverse learners and organising safe travel
routes to and from school.
“I have been in my new role since the
beginning of the year and not a day goes
by that I do not feel excited about Haeata
opening its doors,” says rebecca, who also
lives in the local community.
“Although it is a safe, purpose-built
school with state-of-the-art facilities,
for me it is more about the innovative
learning and community relationships that
will form as a result.
“Student wellbeing is really important.

“Haeata will be culturally intelligent and
cater for diversity. We know that children
learn in different ways and have different

our unique community, bringing together
students and their families.
“It is about really getting to know the

The future is bright in the East
By Andy Kai Fong
W
hen I first saw the
advertisement for the role
of Haeata Community
Campus Principal, I thought it
was the most exciting educational
opportunity I had seen for some time.
The chance to create and build a
new school is rare. At the time I was
working as the Head of Secondary
at Hong Kong’s Discovery College
and prior to that I held Principal
and Deputy Principal roles at
Hornby and Lincoln High Schools.
Haeata Community Campus will
open its doors in term one of 2017 for
students from years 1-13. The brand
new school is currently being built on
the Aranui High School site.
The campus will combine pupils
from the four schools that are closing
in eastern Christchurch – Aranui
Primary, Wainoni Primary, Avondale
Primary and Aranui High School –
as well as welcoming new students
from the local community.
It’s really important that we
capture the essence of what has
worked well at the four schools
that are closing and apply it in the
new campus.
Families can be confident that
their children will have access
to quality and innovative education
that provides a strong foundation
for their future.
Having students from years
1-13 allows us to build strong
connections between the school,
students and whānau.
We are fortunate to be in
state-of-the-art facilities which will
provide amazing opportunities for
all students and community groups.
We will be engaging face-to-face
with our community regularly to
discuss our plans, seek feedback and
answer questions you may have.
Along with our leadership team
and Board of Trustees, I look
forward to welcoming our first
students in 2017.
This is an exciting time for
the East – join us!

Boutique salon specialises
in organic hair treatment
Set in the peaceful surroundings of a
private garden, The Lounge Organic
Hairdressing salon on Derby Street,
Merivale offers clients a retreat where
they can enjoy the benefits of top-quality
hairdressing in a boutique environment.
Since March, The Lounge has been
under the management of experienced
stylist Su Jorgensen. After spending
over 15 years abroad, the last six years
of which were working and teaching in
Southern Asia, Su has brought her skills
and passion to this unique Christchurch
salon.
Another noteworthy aspect of the salon
is that all products used are organic,
Paraben, Resorcine, PPD and ammonia
free. All products, including the retail
products, are animal cruelty free and
environmentally friendly.
The technology means that 100 per cent
grey coverage is easily obtained, Su says.
“The blondes are crisp, and the rich
colours are incredibly long lasting due to
the colour molecules being smaller, and
the hair being less damaged through the
processing.”
Aware of the growing interest in natural
and organic products, Su says salon
owner tracette saw the opportunity to fill
a niche in the market.
“Constant exposure to chemicals is not
beneficial for hairdressers or their clients,”
she says, “and people are now more
conscious about having natural products
used that are not harmful for their hair or
scalp.
“i also have a strong personal interest
in these types of products, and healthy
living. Having organic products at The
Lounge was perfect for me.”
Su specialises in cutting and colouring,
and also when requested provides her
clients with an indian therapeutic head
massage using holistic oils – a totally
relaxing treatment that nourishes the hair
and scalp.
She imports the highly regarded
Organic Argan oil from Morocco, a hair
and body oil which she markets under
her own label, Sukha. These products
will soon be available to purchase at The
Lounge and will go hand in hand with the
other retail products available.
Clients can also be confident that Su is
up to date with the latest trends in both
colouring and styling. For winter, she
says soft champagne and salmon pink
SOUTHERN VIEW
shades of blonde are taking the place of
the grey and silver tones, while soft and
rich coppers and deep chocolate browns
always look good with winter fashions.
Style-wise, fringes are in, mostly short
to medium, the long bob, or lob, remains
current, while a new trend for short hair
is the deconstructed short-long look,
which features short hair in the front and
long tendrils at the back.
in addition to hair styling The Lounge
also offers aromatherapy, massage and
reiki.
Located at 80 Derby Street, Merivale,
The Lounge is open tuesday to Saturday.
Hours are: tuesday and Thursday,
10am-8pm, Wednesday and Friday 10am-
6pm and Saturday 10am-5pm.

HEALTH & BEAUTY
Transitioning skincare
through the seasons
Skincare expert and facialist Clemency Alice has a passion for beauty and organic
skincare. Recently travelling to Paris and Australia to further her knowledge, she
shares her secrets.
the tRAnSition from summer to
autumn can have a major impact on your
skin’s overall condition and appearance. if
the new season catches you unaware and
unprepared, your skin can become very
dry, extremely sensitive, lacklustre and
more susceptible to breakouts. This is due
to the change in oil flow – which was on
an all-time high during summer – and the
vitality of the ‘skin glow’ waning as cooler
temperatures plummet, constricting
blood vessels. here’s what you need to
know to ensure your skin stays prepped
and primped for the change of season.
PReSeRVe youR liPid BARRieR
if you remove this protective skin barrier
through more aggressive methods of overcleansing
and over-exfoliating, then the
skin cells aren’t prepared and your skin
becomes more vulnerable to the extreme
temperatures and external elements of
wind, sun and rain. A way to protect
and maintain hydration in your skin is
through spritzing your face after cleansing
with a floral facial mist then locking the
moisture in with your favourite facial oil
or moisturiser.
SwitCh moiStuRiSeRS
opt for a creamier, rich texture in
your moisturiser that has antioxidant,
super skin-boosting ingredients. Select
moisturisers that contain hyaluronic acid
(skin plumping and hydrating), vitamin
C (antioxidant and uV-protecting
properties), shea butter (moisturising
and protecting), and rose (softening,
anti-inflammatory, hydrating). And for
those with oilier skins, opt for a balancing
facial oil with lavender (restorative
and calming) and jojoba (balancing to
the acid mantle, protecting and antiinflammatory).
PRoteCt youR Skin
Just because summer is a distant dream,
keep applying a chemical-free SPF daily,
and opt for a seperate sun-care product
with a minimum of SPF30 rather than
relying on sun protection from your
foundation.
inSide And out
Beauty and skin health can come from
within:
• Ensure you drink plenty of water.
• Drink organic green tea (helps
prevent tewl – trans-epidermal water
loss).
• Eat seasonal fruit and vegetables.
• Drink green smoothies.
• Boost your intake of essential
fatty acids.
• Go for a brisk walk amongst
nature to
revive your autumnal ‘glow’.
• Maintain your skin sparkle with
restorative beauty sleep.
