10 Tuesday September 20 2016 News SOUTHERN VIEW Rowley School – what’s next? Elections 16 In the lead up to the local body elections, Southern View is asking candidates their views on topical issues within the community. This week, we ask Spreydon Ward city council and Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board candidates whether they think Rowley Avenue School should move to a Halswell site or be rebuilt on its current site, and why. If you have an issue you want candidates to cover in the Halswell Ward send it to caitlin.miles@starmedia.kiwi Phil Clearwater: Spreydon Ward city council candidate “Christchurch people have had enough of our valued, local schools, which are an integral part of our communities, being closed. The cultural and social impact of potentially closing Rowley School is totally unacceptable. Rowley parents want their children to attend a primary school in their own community. Pre-schools in Hoon Hay/Rowley are set up so those children feed into Rowley School. City council want kids to be able to walk or bike to school instead of parents taking and collecting them by car, adding to traffic congestion. The Ministry of Education must listen to children, parents, teachers the community board and our city council.“ Melanie Coker: Spreydon Ward community board candidate Rowley Avenue School lives at the heart of a proudly bilingual and multi-cultural community, and mirrors its surroundings by offering a unique Māori and Samoan bilingual learning environment. Rowley’s special character is enhanced by supportive relationships between students, families and teachers. All students are encouraged to embrace their own culture and language and be proud of their identity. It is impossible to fathom the potential closure of Rowley and how its students will retain their culture at a larger school in Halswell, 3km away. The Rowley community will stand together to fight this and I support them whole-heartedly – Rowley united! Karolin Potter: Spreydon Ward community candidate At the last meeting of the Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board, I moved a resolution in support of Rowley School and its retention as the centre of its community in Rowley, Hoon Hay. This was carried unanimously by the board. I believe that Rowley’s support of its tamariki and whanau and their diverse languages and cultures is unique and invaluable and that would be lost if the school was to move or disappear from its geographic location. Rowley is not just a school, it is Rowley’s beating heart. Catherine White: Spreydon Ward community board candidate Rowley Avenue School should not be shifted but should stay in the area of which it is the hub. Bus fares are too dear in Christchurch, particularly for poorer families to have to bus children to school. This school deserves significant financial investment, as it is loved by pupils and parents. Patricia Siataga: Spreydon Ward city council candidate Upon attending this workshop, I noted that the shifting of it was off the table and the school consultation was to have a rebuild on their current site. The consultation document provided a good opportunity for the community to feed back how it could look. I can proudly say that I have strong connections to this community both professional and personally. It is unique in being a bilingual and multi-cultural school that services the community surrounding it.

Adventure park on the way THE COUNT down is on to the opening of the Christchurch Adventure Park. The $24 million development is five months into its eight-month construction and the park is on track to open on December 16. The park stretches over 364ha of pine forest on the Port Hills, which is between Worsleys Rd and Dyers Pass Rd. Work on three machine-built downhill mountain bike trails is well underway and includes trails for beginners, moderate and advanced bikers. Construction has also begun in an area called, The Village, which will eventually house a cafe and bar, with seating for up to 200, a ticketing office, bike and equipment hire and a storage warehouse for up to 200 bikes. Foundations are being built for 14 towers that will be part of a huge chairlift to the top of the trails. From there, riders will be able to choose their route down. Christchurch Adventure Park spokeswoman Anne Newman said the goal was to provide a place for the Christchurch community to “hang out in and play all day.” WE WELCOME ALL NEW PATIENTS on the day service whenever possible arlotte If you would lIke advIce and treatment wIth: • Women’s health • Children’s & teenage health & wellbeing • Older persons health • Lifestyle advice • Warrant of fitness checks for men and women • Helping patients manage long term medical problems Dr Brendan Smith Dr Charlotte Cooper Dr Gort Stephan Dr David Thomson If you would lIke advIce and treatment wIth: • Removal of skin lesions • Sports medicine • Vasectomies • Occupational and company medicine • Drug testing • Pre-employment medicals • Stopping smoking support • Travel vaccinations • Women’s health • Children’s & teenage health & wellbeing • Older persons health • Lifestyle advice • Warrant of fitness checks for men and women • Helping patients manage long term medical problems • Removal of skin lesions • Sports medicine • Vasectomies • Occupational and company medicine • Drug testing • Pre-employment Gort medicals • Stopping smoking support • Travel vaccinations New patients welcome Ph. 384 5484 Ferrymead MEDICAL c e n t r e ferrymead medIcal centre YES we are now permanently located in the new purpose designed medical facility on the corner of Waterman Place & Ferry Rd (next to BNZ and Café del Mar) ferrymead medIcal centre unIt 10/2 waterman Place Phone 384-5484 Mon to Fri 8.30am-5.30pm
