Success rewarded
No parking
lines likely
for Rose St
TOP AWARDS: Megan Williams was awarded proxime accessit and Callum McInnes, who
received dux, were all smiles as they stood with Cashmere High principal Mark Wilson at the
school’s awards evening held last week at the Isaac Theatre Royal. The evening highlighted
the sporting, academic and cultural achievements of the year 13 students.

AFTER MORE than a year of
waiting, yellow no stopping lines
may finally be put in on Rose St.
They were meant to be painted
at the end of last month. But
instead it went back
to the community
board for yet another
vote – this time over
placement once again.
City council staff
have recommended
this time round that the
Spreydon-Cashmere
Community Board put
the yellow lines on the
streets that intersect
with Rose St, including Fairview,
Marley View, Palmside Sts, and
Hoon Hay Rd.
Cashmere residents asked
almost 14 months ago for the city
council to put yellow no parking
lines. There were concerns about
parking along the street too close
to the kerb and making it hard
for other motorists to see.
Lower Cashmere Residents’
Association chairwoman Sue Bye
said the group had been waiting
to get the lines since August last
year and she doesn’t know what
the hold up is.
But the issue could be solved
today once the community board
sign off on the city council’s
recommendations.
Community board
chairwoman Karolin
Potter (left) said she was
sorry to the residents
and community that
it had taken so long to
get action, but now the
work would be done.
“It will be good for
the community to
finally see the problem
taken care of, it has taken a long
time to get to this point,” she
said.
The price has also more than
tripled since the city council said
they would have the work done,
going from $300 to $1000 to
complete the work.
Once the community
board have approved of the
recommendations the no parking
lines will be installed within
three to four weeks.
It’s 1965 and The
Everly Brothers are
playing a gig in Wellington.
Will it be Bye Bye Love
for Don, Phil and their fans?

IT IS one of the reasons we do
this job – taking a stand on an
issue that the community needs
addressed.
Last week, we were thrilled
for our readers near Addington
Park who have been successful
at getting a permanent ban on
freedom camping (page 3). If not
for people like resident Bruce
McNabb working with Southern
View on this issue, and the
countless number of letters we
had the outcome may have been
very different.
It was an important issue to
our readers; therefore it was
important to us.
This week we also celebrate the
achievements of young people.
Cashmere High School’s prizegiving
list is on page 7. Keep an
eye out over the coming weeks
as we will publish the lists from
other schools.

People power beats freedom campers
• By Caitlin Miles
AFTER MONTHS of lobbying,
freedom camping has been
banned from Addington Park.
THe city council has
prohibited freedom camping
completely from Addington
Park, Windsport Park, Lower
Styx River Mouth, French Farm
and Wainui. It has also banned
non self contained units from
camping throughout the entire
city.
It is news welcomed by
Addington resident Bruce
McNabb who was outspoken on
the issue and joined in Southern
View’s campaign to rid the park
of freedom campers.
Southern View campaigned for
the residents to be heard on the
issue, with extensive coverage
from when the problem first
arose in January. Residents were
angry about not being able to use
the car park, rubbish being left
behind and unsanitary toileting
by freedom campers. At one
point the city council received a
complaint of a camper defecating
on the playground swings.
City councillors Phil
Clearwater and Tim Scandrett
were both asked to provide
columns on what they were
going to do on the issue. The

Visitors key to recovery
Cashmere ward
city councillor
Tim Scandrett
speaks about
getting the city
back to its
pre-earthquake
days and
the development of
Christchurch Adventure
Park opening and St Martins
Volunteer Library
Christchurch definitely has had
its trials and tribulations over
the past few years. You must
admit though, that the spring
blossom, bulbs and blooms do
make our city look stunning
and make us realise why we all
are so committed to helping
Christchurch get back on its
feet. I am really pleased to be
returning to council with old and
new colleagues passionate about
working hard to achieve the best
for our city.
The next three years will see
many plans and consultations
come to fruition in the form
of new community and city
facilities, infrastructure repairs
and environmental initiatives.
Christchurch has a huge chance to
be better than ever. It is up to us
all to take up these opportunities
and achieve our combined vision
of a vibrant, sustainable and
liveable city.
It is imperative for us as
a council to continue to
consult with and listen to our
communities as we work together
to develop our city. It is also
imperative that visitors return to
Christchurch.
A project I have been heavily
involved with is the Christchurch
Adventure Park due to open in the
Port Hills in December this year.
The opening of this world-class
outdoor recreational facility will
really put Christchurch on the
map. It will offer locals a much
needed outdoor facility, provide
more than 100 local jobs and be
a huge attraction for overseas
visitors.
The St Martins Volunteer
Library is another community
facility due to re-open soon.
This icon on Wilson’s Rd will
return as a library, toy library and
community space.
You can’t really beat
Christchurch on a clear blue sky

Readers respond to a
recent article about
the Quarryman’s Trail
cycleway potentially
removing car parks,
changing speed limits
and road layouts and
demolishing homes
Hazel Agnew, of Somerfield
– Why are people so
attached to their cars?
If non cyclists are to start
cycling and feel safe doing
so cycleways are needed. Research
shows that cycling is safer
when more people cycle.
Parking isn’t a problem as
eight to 10 bikes can park in
one car parking space.
Businesses don’t need to
object because cyclists make
purchases too – in Portland,
Oregon, retailers found that
cyclists spent as much as other
people (smaller but higher
value goods). When more
people cycle the environment
is quieter and less polluted and
the population is healthier –
less of an obesity problem. So
everybody wins.
Graham Swann – I think
cycleways are great. About
time things were made safer
for bikes. This should encourage
more people to cycle, at
the same time reducing the
number of cars on the road. I
would feel a lot better knowing
that my children are safer on
the roads. At the moment it is
a nightmare with the amount
of cars on the road and making
more parks and more lanes
only makes this worst.
Also I have noticed the number
of car and bus drivers that
do not give way to cyclists only
because they are on a cycle.
We talk about this subject
often at work and all agree time
something was done
and cycleways will be a great
start.
Nicki Cartlidge – They
had their chance to develop a
world-class pioneering public
transport network in Christchurch.
If a cycleway was a crucial
part of such a network, then
maybe just maybe they’d begin
to have some justification for
making the route a priority.
But they screwed up their
chance and having done so, a
cycle route no way trumps the
waste of demolishing housing
. . . not to mention uprooting
human beings who have been
through enough.
Nicola N Craig Kinzett
– In a city where undamaged
houses are at a premium, why
would you demolish up to four
of them?
Ann Barsby – I thought
this was just a rumour.
Charmaine Andresen
– Crazy! People need homes,
not cycleways!
Jason Gemmill – Four
metres for a frickin cycleway?
Madness! Demolishing houses
to make a cycleway? Insanity.
Give well
this Christmas

Rubber factory opened
• By Sam Pickering
WELL-KNOWN rubber
company Skellerup opened its
new factory in Wigram last week.
The $60 million facility will
cover 19,000 sq m in Stark Drive
and employ about 200 people.
Prime Minister John Key
opened the factory.
Skellerup has been synonymous
in the rubber industry
since it opened its factory in
Woolston in 1910, and was a big
employer in the eastern suburbs
for decades.
The products the factory
makes range from industrial
rubber products, dairy rubberware,
waterproof footwear,
closed-cell foam products, mining
products, vacuum pumps
and construction products.
For many years it also made
footwear at its Woolston plant.
Company chairman Sir Selwyn
Cushing said Skellerup’s
Woolston site had been the company’s
heart and soul for more
than three-quarters of a century,
and he expected the Wigram
development would serve the
company and its customers for
at least as many years to come.
“We had a very hard look at
our options after the quake –
staying in Christchurch was
clearly the best choice for the
business,” he said.
Skellerup chief executive
David Mair said he is confident
the factory will be a platform for
future growth.
“People said we should move
to China, that didn’t actually
stack up. So the great thing
about this is there is a really
good future here in Christchurch.

Judge writes children’s book
From the
courtroom
to the
classroom
• By Bridget Rutherford
A CHRISTCHURCH judge
and author visited St Martins
Primary School to share his first
book with them.
Hunstbury resident Judge
Rob Murfitt went to the school
recently to read Claire and the
Weka.
He said it was a special place
to share the book because his
children went to the school and
he used to be on the board of
trustees.
It is Judge Murfitt’s job to try
and see the world through the
eyes of children. He has been a
judge for more than 10 years,
mostly working in the Family
Court.
Before that, he represented
children in family disputes.
The book has been published
under the name Robbie James –
Judge Murfitt’s given names. It is
about a young girl who gets her
favourite teddy stolen by a weka.
She enlists the help of a boy to
CHANGE: Judge Rob Murfitt with his new children’s book, Claire and the Weka. (Inset) He read
the book to St Martins Primary School pupils recently.

get it back.
Judge Murfitt said the book,
which is illustrated by Sunset,
was a true story about his
daughter, Claire, from a family
holiday in the Marlborough
Sounds about 30 years ago.
“There’s little lessons about
helping other people and being
grateful.”
He said it was inspired by his
granddaughter Eva, who loved
hearing the story so much, he
thought others might too.
Judge Murfitt said writing the
book helped him with his day job.
“In a sense, it helps to keep you
able to see the world through
children’s eyes,” he said.
“When we’re dealing with
disputes about parenting, the law
says that we have to look at the
welfare of the children.
“It’s the child’s rights, it’s the
child’s needs that come first and
so I suppose in the daily routine
of dealing with disputes, you do
get used to doing that.”
It also helped him keep a good
balance in life, he said.
“Whether it’s in the Family
Court or the criminal court,
you’re dealing with people in
crisis almost all the time, so
the uncomplicated innocence
of writing children’s books
is a really nice contrast with
that.”
Although Judge Murfitt spends
most of his time in Family
Court, he also does a share
of the criminal jurisdiction –
and has been known to use a
more personalised approach to
sentencing when appropriate.
Back in 2007, a 17-year-old
appeared before him in the
Hawera District Court on
a disorderly behaviour charge.
“He was a young man who was
heading off the rails but he was
waiting to join the army. A conviction
was going to delay him
for three months. The army was
just what he needed and a delay
was not going to help anyone.”
So Judge Murfitt sent him on
a run accompanied by police – if
he could do it in under an hour,
he would be discharged.
“The court was in uproar
cheering him on.”
Turns out his parents were
marathon runners, he said, and
sure enough he made it and was
discharged without conviction.
“I know that he’s done really
well since then. He served
overseas, settled down and he’s
living a good, pre-social life.
“The whole drive of sentencing
is to (a) keep the public
protected, but (b) to reduce the
offender’s risk of re-offending
and returning to court. Getting
particular young men on track is
best for the community.”

School’s fate up to bishop
• By Bridget Rutherford
THE FUTURE of Marian
College will not be decided
until a new Catholic Bishop of
Christchurch is appointed.
The diocese has been looking
at permanent options to rebuild
the school after being forced
from its North Pde site following
the February 2011 earthquake.
However, none have been set
in stone.
In a letter to the school, administrator
of the diocese Reverend
Rick Loughnan said the
decision would be deferred until
a new bishop was appointed and
further investigations were carried
out.
“We must be 100 per cent sure
of our reasoning when the final
decision is made and, with a new
bishop soon to be appointed, it
would seem appropriate for him,
with our guidance, to have input
into this final decision,” the letter
said.
STAR STUDENT: Ella
Wells was awarded the
Barrington Kip McGrath
star of the month for her
hard work. Her tutors said
she is self-motivated and
works well independently
to complete her class work
and homework. They said
she has made excellent
progress in English and is a
pleasure to teach because
of her kind personality and
her willingness to work hard.
Marian principal Mary-Lou
Davidson said the school was in
good heart while it waited to see
where it would be rebuilt.
“It’s an important decision.
We want one that has the best
outcome for the school.”
Last year, the diocese decided
the school would not return
to its North Pde site because it
remained at risk of liquefaction
induced subsidence and lateral
spreading.
The Bishop of Christchurch is
the proprietor of the school.
Bishop Barry Jones initiated
the process of deciding where
the school would be rebuilt.
However, he passed away in
February.
A diocese spokeswoman said
there was no time frame for
when a new bishop would be
appointed and it was highly
confidential.
“It’s a highly consultative process,
with both lay and clergy to
find a suitable candidate.”
LEARNERS: During the week-long workshop pupils learnt to play many instruments.
SOUND:
Pupils
learnt how
to use their
bodies
to create
percussion.
LITTLE
GARDENERS:
Beckenham
School’s
gardening group
have been getting
their hands
dirty creating a
vegetable garden.
Over the next
couple of weeks,
the pupils will
continue working
on the gardens
by building them
up and making a
scarecrow.

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | NOVEMBER 2016
EQC pays $495 million in the past year to
settle Canterbury claims
EQC Chief Executive Ian Simpson
The Earthquake Commission paid
out nearly half a billion dollars to
settle claims in Canterbury in the
year to 30 June 2016, its recently
released annual report shows.
The annual report includes lots of detail
about the work EQC has been carrying
out in Canterbury in the past year.
Figures in the report show that in the
2015/16 financial year, EQC paid out
$495 million in claims for the 2010-2011
Canterbury earthquake sequence.
This total was made up of $441 million
for residential building claims (both for
cash settlements and managed repairs),
$46 million for residential land claims
and $8 million for contents claims.
IN THE
FINANCIAL YEAR
TO
30 JUNE 2016 EQC PAID OUT
$495 MILLION
MADE UP OF $441 MILLION
FOR RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CLAIMS,
$46 MILLION FOR RESIDENTIAL
LAND CLAIMS AND $8 MILLION
FOR CONTENTS CLAIMS.
EQC has now spent $9.4 billion
(including claim handling expenses,
excluding GST) in its response to the
2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes.
This sum has been financed from the
Natural Disaster Fund and by the
reinsurance cover EQC had negotiated
prior to the earthquakes.
EQC recovered about $444 million
of the cost of Canterbury claims,
largely from international reinsurers,
in 2015/16.
EQC also paid out $25 million for claims
other than those from the 2010-2011
Canterbury earthquakes. This includes
$4.7 million for claims from the
February 2016 earthquakes.
AT 30 JUNE 2016,
EQC HAD
COMPLETED
REPAIRS
ON MORE THAN 67,000 HOMES,
SETTLED 187,000 CONTENTS
CLAIMS, COMPLETED CLAIMS
FOR LAND DAMAGE TO
66,000 PROPERTIES.
In Canterbury, as at 30 June 2016, EQC
had completed repairs on more than
67,000 homes, settled 187,000
contents claims and completed claims
for land damage to 66,000 properties.
“By the end of the year we aim to
have cash settled the more than
14,000 claims from the February 2016
earthquakes,” says Chief Executive
Ian Simpson.
Mr Simpson reaffirmed EQC’s ongoing
commitment to Canterbury in 2017.
“In the upcoming year, EQC will
continue to be present in Canterbury
resolving remedial requests on
properties where we have managed a
repair. There is also a range of
administrative and financial tasks to be
completed.”
AS AT 30 JUNE 2016,
EQC HAD PAID OUT
$9.4 BILLION
IN RESPONSE TO THE 2010-2011
CANTERBURY EARTHQUAKES.
THIS MONEY CAME FROM THE
NATURAL DISASTER FUND
AND REINSURANCE.
Mr Simpson says that EQC has adequate
funds to continue to operate and to meet
its financial obligations and settle claims.
“There is always a high level of
uncertainty when it comes to settling
claims. For instance with home repairs,
the true extent of damage may only
become clear once repairs begin and
tradies start ripping off weatherboards
or lifting floorboards.
IN ADDITION,
AS AT 30 JUNE 2016
EQC HAD PAID OUT
$4.7 MILLION
FOR CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE
FEBRUARY 2016 EARTHQUAKES
IN CANTERBURY.
“Because of this uncertainty, we have
built a margin into our estimates of what
the Canterbury claims will cost.
“In the event that we did need to use all
of this margin, the Crown has confirmed
in writing that it will meet its obligations
under the Earthquake Commission Act to
ensure that EQC can meet all its liabilities
as they fall due,” Mr Simpson says.
The EQC Annual Report shows that EQC
received about $280 million in premiums
and spent $210 million on expenses,
excluding claims payments and claims
handling expenses for the 2010-2011
Canterbury earthquake sequence.
“Our largest expense was the $150
million in premiums for reinsurance,
which currently provides New Zealand
with access to $4.69 billion in cover
for natural disasters, once the cost of
these events exceeds the deductible,”
Mr Simpson says.
A copy of the EQC Annual Report
2015/16 can be downloaded from the
EQC website.
Canterbury students
head to Chile for
earthquake conference
Five engineering students from University of Canterbury will be
attending the World Conference on Earthquake Engineering
(16WCEE) in Chile this January thanks to sponsorship from EQC and
the NZ Society for Earthquake Engineers (NZSEE).
EQC’s Research Strategy and Investment Manager Richard Smith says the
sponsorship goes partway to supporting students and practitioners to
attend the conference, which is the preeminent gathering of engineers
involved in seismic resistant design.
“WCEE is to earthquake engineers what the Olympics are to sport. This
opportunity gives these students exposure to ideas and knowledge from
around the globe as well as the chance to forge international connections
that will be of value to their research and to New Zealand.
“EQC plays an important role in funding and facilitating research about
natural hazard risk. Part of that is making sure we have researchers within
New Zealand who have the capability to undertake that research.”
Mechanical engineering PhD student Jarrod Cook says the chance to
attend 16WCEE will be invaluable. “I’m exploring ways a ratcheting,
tension-only device can reduce the motion experienced by buildings
during an earthquake, and therefore limit the damage and impact to
people as well as enabling buildings to stay open after the event. WCEE is
the premier conference in earthquake engineering so this is a great way
to share my ideas, get critical feedback and see what others are doing.”
WCEE is held every four years and provides attendees with the
opportunity for a global exchange of knowledge, ideas, research
results and practical experience. As well as students from Canterbury,
EQC and NZSEE are jointly sponsoring the attendance of five students
from Auckland University and four industry representatives from across
New Zealand.
From left to right: Jarrod Cook, Pavan Aninthaneni and Amir Malek are three of
five University of Canterbury students heading to Chile for the World Conference
on Earthquake Engineering this January.

Bowling in Beckenham for 100 years
Barry
Chapman
looks at
Beckenham
Bowling
Club’s
upcoming centenary
ROLL OUT the band and raise
the flag, Beckenham Bowling
Club is celebrating 100 years of
giving enjoyment to the many
hundreds of players who have
taken part in the club’s activities
over that time.
There will not be a message
from the queen, but such an
achievement is nonetheless one
that will be celebrated with pride
by past and present members
alike in the coming weeks, with
past members attending from
around New Zealand and Australia.
The club was established
on part of the old Heathcote
(Opawaho as it was previously
known) River bed, which had
become a rubbish dump. On
November 7, 1916, a meeting of
interested parties was called by
Ernie Chegwin, with the idea of
establishing a lawn bowls club.
Things moved very quickly. A
committee was set up to establish
the club and begin negotiations
with the council to obtain
the use of the derelict ground.
By March 1917, the green was
prepared and sown with the
first bowls being rolled up in
the following October. A magnificent
feat, all accomplished by
volunteer labour. And the fact
that this took place in the middle
of World War 1 made it all the
more impressive.
The club grew over the following
years and saw the establishment
of the first women’s
bowling club in Christchurch in
October 1931. It became obvious
that the club was outgrowing
its facilities and, in April 1945,
a second green was established
at the club’s present site in
Waimea Tce. Then followed a
winter green of compacted soil
covered with sawdust that saw
hardy players in their overcoats
playing the sport they loved in
the middle of winter. With two
sites, it required doubling up on
equipment and this, along with
green problems, led to the laying
of a second green on the new
site, which saw the club shift in
full in June 1976 and the original
site was reverted back to the city
council.
The volunteer aspect which
saw the club established continued
as the club grew. This was
tested to the upmost when, in
1960, a decision was made to
replace the old army hut that
was the club pavilion with a new
building that incorporated a
three rink indoor surface – one
of the first at that time. This was
a huge undertaking for mainly
retired members who offered
their skills to complete this in
only 10 months. The building
has seen additions and renovations
since, but has served the
club well right up to today’s requirements.
It also came through
the earthquakes with only minor
damage and the club was able
to continue using it apart from
when the repairs took place.
As with all clubs, we have
seen some real characters in our
ranks who are still talked about
today. We have also had some
top players in our membership
over the years, including
New Zealand and Canterbury
representatives. Our centre title
lists are very impressive for a
club that has never featured in
the “top clubs” of Christchurch.
We have undoubtedly made our
mark both on and off the green.
With sporting clubs’ facing
uncertain futures, due to
seven-day trading, both partners
working and the large amount
of other attractions that take up
today’s recreation time, the club
has looked to ensure we move
with the times by setting up an
administration to operate in a
professional manner.
This has proved beneficial
for our members and assisted
us in linking to the local community
through such things as
club plans, operational plans
and community bowls for
non-players, known as Crack
PLAYERS: Beckenham Bowling Club will celebrate its centenary next year.
A Jack Bowls. Many of these
systems have been adopted by
other bowling clubs around the
country.
All of this contributed to the
club earning titles like club of
the year and administrator of the
year for New Zealand. The club
is very proud of achieving these
and other awards, including
Bowls New Zealand and Sport
Canterbury gold awards.
Today, as we look back over the
last 100 years and congratulate
ourselves on our achievements,
we are also very mindful of
looking to the future and
providing what sports people
and the local community want.
Doing so allows the club to look
positively towards the next 25
years.
As a club, we welcome the local
community to make use of these
first-class facilities. We provide a
social and friendly environment
for all people, from families to
school-aged children to those in
their later years who are looking
for a way to make friends and
enjoy the sport at whatever level
they desire.

Dancer earns new shoes
BALLET DANCER Ayiana
Lo-Fo-Wong missed out on a
scholarship – but a judge was so
impressed with her performance
she decided to pay for her pointe
shoes for a year.
The 14-year-old, of
Beckenham, applied for
the People’s Choice AMP
Scholarship recently in the hope
of covering some costs for her
ballet lessons, costumes and
shoes.
Ayiana is a full-time
Canterbury Ballet student. She
made it into the top five in the
North Canterbury region, but
when she missed out on the
scholarship, one of the judges,
Dorothy McLennan, offered
to pay for her ballet shoes for a
year.
“I was impressed with the
discipline, dedication and
confidence shown by Ayiana, so
I really wanted to help her cover
some of the many costs involved
in pursuing her ballet career,”
Ms McLennan said.
For Ayiana, this was a big
boost to her confidence and will
help equip her for an audition
video for the New York-based
American Ballet Theatre, as
part of its summer school
programme.
“It makes me feel people care
about my passion and support
ACHIEVERS
DANCER: Ayiana goes through, roughly, four pairs of pointe
shoes a year, practising ballet up to five days a week on top of
performing in shows.
me,” she said.
Ayiana’s mum Jaimita de
Jongh said her daughter’s ballet
shoes cost $125 a pair. And she
goes through roughly four pairs
a year.
“I was really proud of her
for doing this on her own. We
supported her but she did the
interview and impressed them
herself,” Ms de Jongh said.
Ayiana has been dancing for
Canterbury Ballet since she was
four-and-a-half, and after her
mother took her to see Southern
Ballet perform The Snow Queen
when she was three-years-old.
“We thought it was just a
phase, but she kept asking and
asking for us to take her to ballet
lessons, so eventually we did.
Our lives revolve around ballet”
Ms de Jongh said.
The next step for Ayiana is
to play the lead role of Aurora
in Canterbury Ballet’s
production of Sleeping Beauty
next month.
“In that case, we’ll have to do
some serious fundraising.”
Standout league
player recognised

• By Gordon Findlater
THE LINWOOD Keas won a
number of awards at the recent
Canterbury Rugby League
awards held at the Hornby
Working Men’s Club.
Alani Kikoi (right) picked up
the biggest individual award of
the night, named the Canterbury
Sportsperson of the Year.
The hooker was a standout for
the Keas this season, helping the
team on its way to winning both
the minor premiership and Pat
Smith Trophy in the Massetti
Cup. He also represented the
Canterbury Bulls.
Awards also went to Daniel
Hartley, who won the Turner
and Le Brun Cup, which is
awarded to the top point scorer
in the Massetti Cup. Keas and
Bulls coach Andrew Auimatagi
was also recognised for leading
the club to this year’s title,
winning the John Coffey Cup –
Coach of the Year award.
The club also had reason for
celebration last week. Keas and
Bulls centre Matt Sauni has
been given a pre-season contract
with the Warriors following an
outstanding year.

touch they offer by taking time to go over all your
treatment options and associated costs means those who
fear a dental surgery will be immediately put at ease.
Smile Concepts is proud of its patient service. Their
knowledgeable staff members use safe and proven
procedures, the latest technology, materials and
philosophies to enhance your teeth and smile. They also
actively engage with their customers and take regular
feedback. For example, in recent months, customers
complained about earthquake-related shaking at the
surgery. Taking these complaints seriously, they have
now moved to their newly renovated premises with
new repelling of the foundations at 104 Colombo Street,
Sydenham, where ample parking is available and the bus
stop is close by.
Smile Concepts welcomes customers from across
Canterbury, and with the variety of services offered as well
as a compassionate, patient-centered approach, it is well
worth driving the extra mile.
They provide dental care services for children and
adolescents with special needs, and sedation dentistry so
patients can undergo treatment without anxiety. General
dentistry services include regular checkups, fillings,
crowns, dentures, root treatment and extractions. With
their emphasis on preventative dentistry, they recommend
regular checkups to eliminate any major problems
occurring.
No longer should smiles have gaps where teeth used to
be. Implants, veneers and bridges can be crafted and fitted
so they look natural, are long-lasting and a perfect match.
They also have a dental hygienist, who will help to keep
gums healthy and advise on healthy oral habits.
Some food, drink and medicines can stain our teeth
over time and teeth whitening has become one of the
most sought-after cosmetic dental procedures today. Smile
Concepts offers the Zoom whitening system, which is
currently one of the most powerful, effective and safest
methods available on the market.
Perhaps the one day in our lives when our smile means
the most is our wedding day. This innovative dental
practice offers wedding packages individually tailored to
your needs to make sure your wedding photographs do
you justice. As a special gift to brides and grooms, Smile
Concepts will create a wedding package at a special price.
Their generosity doesn’t stop with their customers. Smile
Concepts is proud to work with the local community,
supporting initiatives such as Child Safety Awareness
Programmes, the Special Children’s Christmas Party
and is a regular donor to the University of Canterbury
Foundation.

Learning first aid is not only a
part of ensuring a safe work place, but also
an integral part of our engagement with
the wider community. We all learn the
necessary skills to ensure that in times of
emergency we are able to assist our work
colleagues, but are we able to take these
skills home, into the community or on to
the sports field?
not all work places are the same and
the injury risk for each place can be wide
and variable. The office attended by
administrators does not carry the same
risk as those people working with heavy
machinery, or perhaps at some distance
from a regular ambulance service. it is
therefore essential that you pick the right
first aid course to suit all of your activities –
both professional and social.
take, for example, an office worker who
does not have a high risk work environment
and whose concern might be to ensure that
they can deal with minor cuts and superficial
injuries, or the ability to perform effective
CPr. These skills

can be achieved on a
course of eight hours
duration and would
generally fit into
low to medium risk
area. But take this
same person on to a
sports field either as
a spectator or player
when a higher level injury occurs. The eight
hour course covering unit standards 6402
and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does not
cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye
injuries, hypothermia and poisonings.
The majority of injuries occur outside of
the work place, in fact one in three injuries
occurs in the home, making it the most
common place for injuries to happen.
new Zealand children are twice as likely
to die through injury as children who live
in australia. They mostly die as a result
of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the
home. fatalities from leisure and sport are
not far behind those in the workplace.
The wider 12 hour course teaches the
additional unit standard 6400 and provides
a wide knowledge base for medium to high
risk environments. This course covers many
of the skills required to deal with the most
common injuries, such as falls (which can
result in head, neck and spinal injuries) and
dealing with complex scenes such as motor
vehicle accidents.
if you are not sure on the course best
suited to your needs, ask your accredited
first aid training provider. They can explain
the course content and give you options
that will best suit your needs. Look beyond
the workplace and consider your family and
your location. Check that you have a good
quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with
replenished items, and that everyone knows
where it is located.

CONTINUING EDUCATION
An exciting career
in Automotive
Southern Institute of Technology
(SIT) graduate Janaka Liyanapathirana’s
childhood love of cars has seen him excel
to an exciting career in Automotive.
Janaka completed the Certificate in
Automotive Engineering in Christchurch
in October and, after being recognised for
his overall outstanding efforts throughout
the course, has graduated with a prized
welding helmet gifted by BOC.
“I was really surprised about the award,
it was so unexpected,” he said.
Coming to New Zealand to pursue his
dream of becoming a mechanic, Janaka
said he tried different automotive courses
around the country but only found the
right course for him at SIT.
“I was so lucky to find the right place, the
right course and the right tutors [at SIT],
from all of the other places where I tried
within NZ,”
“The best opportunity the course gave
me was the live practical experience and
institutions with proper techniques from
the tutors who are qualified and have long
term experience in the same trade.”
Janaka said he has already received an
opportunity to enter the workforce and
start his career.
“I think I have followed the right track,
by the time I finished I got a job offer from
the biggest car company in Christchurch,
so I have already planned to join them and
enjoy working with what I have studied.”
For any enquires phone 349 3645 or call
in and see us at 60 Waterloo Road.
Help your child grow
in confidence
Life skills programme for children.
Do your children lack self-confidence, or
perhaps have so much energy that they need
an outlet for it? Development through drama
is the ideal approach to teach confidence
and channel youthful energy while building
self-esteem.
The Helen O’Grady Drama Academy has
been in New Zealand for 32 years. This highly
regarded worldwide programme helps
students aged 5 to 17 fulfil their potential by
acting confidently and speaking clearly. This
unique, self-development programme helps
achieve invaluable life skills. The confident,
articulate child makes friends easily, accepts
challenges and new directions. Confident
children become well-rounded adults.
Our fully qualified teachers are trained
in the Helen O’Grady Drama system,
they ensure each child is encouraged
and valued in a warm, positive learning
environment. Lessons stimulate and
motivate students without the exam or
peer group pressure. Weekly class activities
include speech training, creative movement
and improvisation. Our Youth Theatre
programme encourages the development of
leadership and organisational skills. Three
terms of the year cover the self-development
programme and in the fourth term all
students prepare a performance for parents
and friends. We also offer Trinity College
London examinations as an option for
those who wish to pursue an international
qualification.
Our safe structured learning environment
values student individuality and encourages
team building. Most importantly its great
fun too!
