Former White Fern 

driving sport at 

Hornby High School 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

A FORMER White Ferns 

cricketer is driving sports 

participation at Hornby High 

School. 

Katrina Keenan has been developing 

the school’s sporting scene 

for the past term in her new role 

as sports co-ordinator. 

Her first term in the role has 

been “busy” as she organised 

students to play volleyball, indoor 

football, touch and softball at 

after-school sports competitions. 

While Keenan has a strong 

background in cricket, she is 

focused on developing a broad 

spectrum of sports. 

“I am desperately trying to get a 

girls rugby team established . . . I 

want to get league established and 

a competition format available for 

the boys,” she said. 

One of the highlights for 

Keenan so far was having the 

school’s junior and senior league 

nines’ teams come second and 

third respectively at the Canterbury 

schools tournament. 

As well as partaking in highperformance 

cricket, Keenan 

has played for the New Zealand 

indoor cricket team and also 

coached the White Ferns in 2013. 

“It is about retaining numbers 

and getting more coaches and officials 

involved so every sport has 

a great season of opportunity,” 

she said. 

While a competitive cricket 

team is yet to be established, 

Keenan said interest has been 

ignited with about 20 students 

turning up for Monday interval 

sessions. 

Noise angers subdivision neighbours 


ONGOING developments in 

a long overdue subdivision in 

Yaldhurst are causing disruption 

for neighbouring residents. 

Heavy vehicles using residential 

street Jarnac Boulevard to 

access the Noble Village Subdivision 

are “non-stop,“ according to 

nearby residents. 

Concern has been raised over 

the number of trucks using the 

street, which has both a childcare 

centre, Edukids Delamain, and 

a swimming school, Waitaha 

Aquatic Centre, nearby. 

The disruption surfaced after 

HEB Construction began work 

on Yaldhurst Rd at the intersection 

of Sir John McKenzie Ave 

and on roading within the subdivision. 

The company is undertaking 

major works at the intersection, 

including removing non-operational 

traffic signals, installing 

turning bays and widening the 

northern side of the road. 

New Zealand Transport Agency 

traffic and safety manager 

Tony Spowart said the intersection 

is still under construction 

and is not audited for safety. 

This means heavy vehicles 

cannot access the subdivision via 

Yaldhurst Rd and must instead 

use Jarnac Boulevard. 

Resident Dee Swadi said the 

trucks are noisy and speed 

through the street “non-stop.” 

“I just think it is not a very 

good practise to put our safety at 

risk for a private development,” 

she said.

A proposal to open a new funeral 

facility on a residential street 

has caused a stir with nearby 

Fendalton residents (page 3). 

This is not the first time a 

funeral home has raised eyebrows 

this year. There was similar outcry 

when Lamb & Hayward applied 

for a resource consent in Halswell. 

Good on Katrina Keenan helping 

to get more students at Hornby 

High School involved in sport 

(front page). She is the new sport 

co-ordinator at the school and she 

is a former White Fern, so cricket 

is likely to be on the horizon. 

And it has been a week of festivity 

for the education sector (pages 

5, 8 and 11).

Funeral director defends facility 


Andrew 

Bell 

THE MANAGING director 

behind a controversial 

application to open a funeral 

facility on a residential street has 

spoken out. 

Bell, Lamb and 

Trotter Funeral Directors 

have lodged 

a non-notified 

application to open 

a funeral satellite office 

at 1 Rochdale St. 

The home-based 

funeral facility in 

Fendalton has drawn opposition 

from nearby residents, including 

dermatologist David Nicholls 

and the adjacent Christchurch 

Boys’ High School. 

But managing director 

Andrew Bell said he wants to 

establish a more “homely environment” 

for people who feel 

apprehensive at funeral homes. 

“Have you ever seen a funeral 

service where there are two or 

three people at it? It is possibly 

the most heart-breaking thing 

you will ever see in a chapel 

built for 200 people,” he said. 

Mr Bell said he wants to set 

the facility up at his own twostorey 

home for people who 

want to spend time with their 

loved ones in a more “homely 

environment.” 

POSSIBLE: A funeral facility proposed to open on 1 Rochdale St 

has drawn opposition from nearby neighbours.

“Not everyone feels comfortable 

having them (the deceased) 

in their own home,” he said. 

Twenty-six services are to be 

held at the house each year with 

a maximum of two per week. 

The services would be limited 

to 10 people on site, along with 

two staff members, and would 

take up to two hours. 

The facility would operate 

between 9am and 8pm, Monday 

to Friday, and 9am to 7pm at 

weekends. Funeral services 

would be limited from 10am to 

5pm, Monday to Friday. 

It is proposed up to six people 

can attend the viewing of the 

deceased at a time. The application 

said the deceased would not 

be held at the home overnight 

and would be transported back 

to the business’ mortuary at 

Ferry Rd. 

Christchurch Boys’ High 

School headmaster Nic Hill said 

the school’s main concern was 

over the commercial impact the 

facility could have on traffic and 

parking in the Straven Rd area. 

“It is awfully congested and 

there are definitely hazardous 

intersections . . . it is a busy cycle 

thoroughfare going onto Straven 

Rd,” he said. 

In the application, a report 

from Abley Transportation 

Consultants said the site provides 

four parking spaces to 

accommodate typical parking 

demand. 

It was initially decided for the 

application to be non-notified 

in February after independent 

commissioner Philip Milne resolved 

the proposed activity was 

a “home occupation.” 

However, after the city council 

received informal complaints 

from residents on the street, 

the application was once again 

put to Mr Milne to make a final 

decision. A final decision is 

expected next week.

In Brief 

TREE REMOVAL DEBATE 

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board will look at 

whether to remove a silver birch 

tree located outside 50 Brigham 

Dr in Halswell. Residents would 

like to see the tree removed 

because it shades the street light 

and leaf debris are a nuisance. 

Residents were consulted over 

the tree removal. Out of the four 

residents who responded, two 

were in support of the removal 

and two were against. City 

council staff recommend the 

request to remove the tree, made 

by resident Dave Matheson, is 

declined. A decision will be made 

at the board’s meeting today. 

SPECIAL MEETING 

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board will hold a 

submissions committee meeting 

tomorrow to draft its submission 

for the city council’s draft Annual 

Plan. 

RUAPUNA LEASE DECISION 

The city council will look to 

green-light a recommendation 

from the Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board for 

it to publicly advertise a proposal 

to renew the Canterbury Car 

Club’s lease for part of Ruapuna 

Park. The club’s existing lease, 

which covers Ruapuna’s racetrack,

Police call for loitering bylaw 

Riccarton 

Community 

Constable Aaron 

Thorn writes about 

why he would like 

to see a loitering bylaw put 

in place on Division St near 

Riccarton Rd 

I have been a community 

liaison officer for the Riccarton 

area over the past two years 

and since the opening of the 

Riccarton bus exchange in 

December 2015 there has been a 

surge of youth offending. 

This offending mainly occurs 

on Division St between the entrance 

to Westfield Riccarton and 

Riccarton Rd. I conduct daily patrols 

in the Riccarton area mainly 

concentrating on the area of Riccarton 

Rd between Clarence St 

and Matipo St and the surrounds 

of Westfield Riccarton. 

Offending consists of disorderly 

behaviour, intimidation, 

threatening behaviour, assault 

and wilful damage including 

graffiti, drug/alcohol abuse and 

shoplifting/theft. There has been 

a significant increase in bike theft 

in the area too. 

There is frustration from retailers, 

shoppers and those waiting 

to catch the bus. This frustration 

is felt deeply by myself and other 

police officers who have to deal 

with calls in the area. 

Police have limited powers of 

dealing with these youths unless 

they are caught offending and 

causing problems. Unfortunately, 

two businesses have had enough 

and have decided to leave the 

area. 

I made a suggestion to introduce 

a “no loitering bylaw” on 

Division St near Riccarton Rd. 

This was warmly received by the 

city council in a recent meeting. 

Generally when youths congregate 

on Division St, at times 

they create anti-social behaviour 

by blocking walkways, spitting 

and swearing loudly, loiter near 

business entry doorways, being 

abusive towards retailers who ask 

them to move on and intimidate 

other members of the public who 

wish to either walk towards the 

entrance to the Westfield mall 

or to who walk from the mall 

towards Riccarton Rd. 

There are areas on Division St 

where youths can gather and hide 

from view of Riccarton Rd thus 

giving them an opportunity to 

offend. 

Given this type of behaviour, I 

believe a “no loitering” bylaw will 

assist and enable police the power 

to move youths congregating 

and hiding out into the open and 

away from Division St. 

Have your say on this week’s Soap Box and Rise Up 

comments. Email georgia.oconnor@starmedia.kiwi 

We said: 

Should a no loitering 

bylaw be brought in to 

combat the youth issues in 

Riccarton? 

You said: 

Emmie Glamuzina – I 

was at the lights and witnessed 

a group of teens threatening 

and abusing an elderly woman, 

one was a young boy being held 

back by his friends. The security 

guard on the other hand 

just watched from inside closed 

doors – like come on, really? 

Three in the afternoon. I was 

wanting to get out of my car 

and help the poor woman but 

was unfortunately stuck in traffic. 

Would hate to think what 

their parents are like, raising 

disgusting kids. 

Hamish Middleton: I have 

seen these kids at McDonald’s 

Riccarton. They stroll in and 

out banging all the bins for a 

reaction. Most people think 

they’re a joke, especially the little 

one that wears Michael Jackson 

gloves and believes he is 

Jake “the Muss”. Unfortunately, 

they are a nuisance and do pick 

out the most vulnerable school 

kids to bully and torment. If 

there was one identifiable group 

of kids to pick up and take out 

to Burnham Military Camp 

for three months, then this 

group is it. Teach them respect, 

goal-setting and direction. Get 

authority from their parents to 

do so and round them up. 

Cheryl Hanham – Yes it 

should be introduced and I 

liked the idea of having demerit 

points for problem youths. If 

they get a set number, send 

them into army boot camp for 

four weeks. Needs to be at least 

four to six weeks, time to put 

new thoughts into place. 

Sally King – Yes, but only if 

they are going to put in tougher 

penalties for youth who are 

offending or being nuisance, 

otherwise all they are doing 

is shifting the problem somewhere 

else. We need better policing 

in the area too. Cops back 

on the beat, maybe. We should 

be increasing police presence 

not decreasing with cutbacks.

Sonya O’Connor – The sewing 

shop had to close and lock its 

doors with customers inside a few 

weeks ago and is now moving. 

All because of these kids. 

Kevin Kiwibird – Yes, and 

how about some serious consequences 

for them instead of a hug 

and a “be a good kid and don’t do 

this again,” from the authorities. 

Give the police the laws to punish 

these punks. 

Bubba HoTep – Simplest way 

to reduce youth crime to zero 

is to treat them as adults. Bring 

back the birch and bring back 

hanging. 

Nathan Bergman – Yes, 

push the blame onto another unsuspecting 

set of people by pushing 

the problem around like chess 

pawns instead of solving why they 

are loitering in the first place. 

Ann Carey – Public nuisance 

or no loitering. Of course this 

should happen, followed by a 

good dose of graffiti cleaning. 

Adam Vincent – Move them 

on from Riccarton and where are 

they supposed to go then? Simply 

banning them from a location 

isn’t going to make the problem 

go away. 

William Hutson – No, just 

let the pricks pick on the wrong 

person, let that person give them 

TROUBLE HOTSPOT: Issues with youth near Division St, 

Riccarton, are in the spotlight. 

a hiding. They’ll learn quick 

enough. My generation and the 

generation before me worked it 

out quickly enough. 

Annabel Robertson – Here 

they play classical music loudly 

now – not a loitering teen in sight. 

Nicola Cotterill – Given 

there is already a bylaw about 

public violence, I doubt they’ll 

suddenly decide to stop. 

Viv Noakes – Yes hate them 

hanging about. You never know 

what they’re planning. 

Steven Alan McGregor – 

Give them something to do. “Idle 

hands blah, blah, blah.” 

A reader responds to 

Western News’ article on 

the establishment of a 

community-owned and operated 

pub in Longhurst 

Candice Rich – I think it’s a 

good community project so points 

for that. But, the playground is 

there and I would feel extremely 

uncomfortable knowing that there 

is a pub right next to where my 

children play. So good idea for a 

community but not next to the 

playground please. Also, there is 

not enough parking for a pub to 

be in that centre. If people were 

going over the limit and having to 

taxi home they would be leaving 

their cars overnight causing a 

parking nightmare. 

AS GOOD AS NEW: A ceremony at Avonhead School was held 

to celebrate the reopening of its fully refurbished buildings. 

Ceremony marks completion 

of Avonhead School upgrade 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

AFTER THREE years of repair 

and refurbishment work going 

on around them, pupils and 

staff at Avonhead School finally 

have the place to themselves. 

And principal Charles Levings 

said he couldn’t be happier. 

In spite of torrential rain on 

Thursday, the official reopening 

ceremony went off without a 

hitch, and a tour of the school 

shows a few innovative additions 

to the classrooms. 

The new ‘flexible’ learning 

environment gives children the 

chance to structure their own 

days. 

And with charts to keep 

track of who is doing what, the 

teachers are able to cater to their 

pupils’ educational wants and 

needs. 

Avonhead School’s reconstruction 

is part of the 

Government’s $1.3 billion 

project, which will involve the 

construction of more than 1200 

classrooms, and the repair and 

refurbishment of more than 

1200 others.

Rare Vincentian Cross medal 

for parish’s good Samaritan 

• By Sarla Donovan 

BEING GIVEN the rare 

Vincentian Cross was an 

experience “quite out of this 

world” for Russell McKee. 

The 86-year-old was awarded 

the medal by the president of the 

Society of St Vincent de Paul, 

Renato Lima de Oliveria, for 

his 56 years of membership and 

service. 

Mr McKee’s voluntary work 

with St Vincent de Paul began in 

1961 when the parish priest at St 

Joseph’s church, Papanui, asked 

for his assistance in helping the 

poor and needy. 

“There were lots of local people 

who couldn’t manage, lots of 

poor people around. Usually the 

money was going on booze or 

gambling,” said Mr McKee 

The priest gave him a list of 

regular clients to visit. 

“We would take food, or 

clothing, or school uniforms, 

whatever the need was.” 

He still drives around each 

week to visit clients in need of 

help. “People are poor managers,” 

he said. 

Mr McKee said he had never 

expected such an award. He was 

motivated by a desire to help 

UNEXPECTED AWARD: Russell McKee, with his wife Janette, 

never thought he would be awarded a special medal for his 56 

years of service to the Society of St Vincent de Paul. 

those less fortunate than him. 

“Those who have been given 

many gifts have an obligation to 

share.” 

His wife of 60 years, Janette, is 

also a volunteer with St Vincent 

de Paul. 

The two met through their 

involvement with Catholic 

tennis and youth clubs before 

marrying at St Mary’s church 

in Manchester St on April 22, 

1957. 

With their diamond wedding 

anniversary approaching later 

this month, plans are afoot for a 

party to mark the occasion. 

“My dear wife is organising a 

social at the RSA in Papanui. It’s 

a busy time.” 

Noise frustrates 

subdivision neighbours 

•From page 1 

Her views were backed up by 

resident Ron Tindall who said 

he could not understand why 

Yaldhurst Rd could not be used 

as an access point instead. 

“They are a pain in the butt,” 

he said. 

Residents have been putting 

up with the trucks for about five 

weeks. 

A public meeting was held 

with Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board chairman 

Mike Mora and about 12 residents 

over the trucks last month. 

Project manager Grant 

Beattie confirmed in a letter to 

Mrs Swadi it would use Jarnac 

Boulevard for the entirety of the 

development. He said it is the 

safest access to the site. 

“It is not safe for us to continually 

have our operators entering 

and exiting onto such a busy road 

. . . under traffic management 

rules we are not allowed to enter 

or exit across Yaldhurst Rd during 

peak traffic flows,” he said. 

Nearly 24,000 vehicles use 

Yaldhurst Rd daily. 

HEB Construction is also in 

the process of maintaining the 

roads within the subdivision to 

meet the city council’s infrastructure 

design standards.

manager Jodie Goodmanson 

said the pre-school had not 

noticed an increase in trucks 

around the area. 

Waitaha Aquatic Centre director 

Huia Mihara said he was 

more concerned by the speed 

quarry trucks travel at up the 

adjacent Buchanans Rd. 

The 33ha subdivision has been 

years in the making and was 

purchased by Infinity Investment 

Group Holdings Limited 

last year. 

Both work on the Yaldhurst Rd 

intersection and within the subdivision 

are expected to continue 

until late May.

Big turnout for childhood centre opening 


THE FIRST Pasifika early 

childhood centre in the South 

Island has opened in Hornby. 

Barnardos Kidstart Hornby 

Pasifika Early Learning Centre 

celebrated its opening last Friday. 

More than 200 people attended 

the event including MP for Wigram 

Megan Woods, National candidate 

for Wigram David Hiatt and city 

councillor Anne Galloway. 

The day opened with a Cook 

Islands drum performance and 

featured a kapa haka performance 

from Hornby Primary School. 

Performances were also made by 

Kidsfirst Niu Early Learning Centre 

and kai/kana performances from 

Hornby Primary and Hornby High 

School Pasifika groups. 

“One of the beautiful stories with 

this centre is it came out of all that 

pain in terms of Branston Intermediate 

closing,” Dr Woods said. 

Branston Intermediate closed in 

2013. 

She said the opening was a 

fantastic day and it was a privilege 

to congratulate the community on 

their achievement. 

Barnardos Kidstart brand manager 

Alicia Lonergan said the early 

learning centre had been years in 

the making with the needs of the 

Pasifika community in mind. 

While the centre will adhere to 

the New Zealand education curriculum, 

the learning programme 

will support Pasifika culture and 

identity. 

Teachers come from diverse backgrounds 

including Cook Islands, 

Samoan, Tongan and Maori and 

can all speak their native tongue. 

The centre located on site at 

Hornby Primary School will accommodate 

up to 50 children 

under the age of five-years-old with 

more than 15 families are already 

enrolled. 

Post-earthquake, the Ministry of 

Education and the city’s Pasifika 

Advisory Board recognised Hornby 

as an area with rapid growth in 

population. 

Maori and Pasifika contribute to 

63 per cent of the national enrolment 

growth for the early learning 

centre sector since 2013. 

The project was supported by 

organisations in the community 

including Te Taumutu Rūnanga, 

Hornby Heartlands and CORE 

Education. 

It was jointly funded by Barnardos 

Kidstart and the Ministry of 

Education. 

Ara Institute of Canterbury 

students contributed to the development 

building planting boxes for 

the children to grow vegetables and 

fruit. 

BIG CELEBRATION: About 200 people attended 

the opening of the Barnardos Kidstart Hornby 

Pasifika Early Learning Centre.

Teaching 

focused 

on ‘Learn 

Create 

Share’ 

Hornby High School 

Commitment, 

Achievement, 

Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo e lelei. Bula. 

Fakaalofa atu. Namaste. Kumusta. Haere mai ki Te 

Huruhuru Ao o Horomaka. Warm greetings to the 

Hornby High School community. 

Hornby High School is a school that is all about relationships, 

about whakawhanaungatanga. We could more accurately 

say that it is a school about ‘relationships for learning’, 

because the learning is our purpose, and we all work hard to 

build and sustain those relationships. This term we held our 

first hui for our whanau Maori for the year, and we managed 

to pack out the staffroom. It was wonderful to hear so much 

korero affirming our common purpose, our common vision 

for our students. 

It has also been exciting to see the progress that is being 

made to build our vision for creative excellence into the 

daily life of the school. Whether it be the two student 

performances at the Sheilah Winn Shakespeare competition, 

or the three days that our Year 12 students spent on 

the Maibiz programme (a product/business/enterprise 

development programme sponsored by the Maori Women’s 

Development Incorporated (MWDI)), calculated risk taking, 

relationship building, and creativity were clear to everyone 

watching. 

We are still waiting with bated breath for the announcement 

of the successful contractor for the school rebuild and it is 

quite possible that by the time you read this we will have 

heard the announcement. We have emptied the library and 

the administration building, and are now in our temporary 

homes for the next two to three years. The school’s 

administration is now located in what we have termed ‘B’ 

block found on the Carmen Road side of the campus. With 

vehicle access and parking more limited, in the interests of 

safety we’d appreciate your support in not bringing vehicles 

onto the school site if at all possible. We hope to have plans 

and drawings on display in the community over the next few 

months so that you can see what wonderful buildings and 

spaces we will have once the building is complete. 

One comment that I have heard several times is “it doesn’t 

really look like a school”. The comment gladdened my heart, 

because one of my very first comments to our architects 

when we began the design process was that the entrance to 

the school must look nothing like a school. Schools are very 

different places to those we remember from our own school 

days, and I am keen that we break what some of us may be 

a negative association with schools. The new entrance will 

feature a learning commons and student cafe that will look 

very much like a typical cafe in the community. There will 

also be a coffee station which we expect to operate at the 

start of the day so that if you fancy calling in for a chat after 

you have dropped your tamariki off at school, you can do so. 

I think the architects have done a great job at producing just 

that. 

None of this counts for much of course unless we keep our 

eye on the ball, always pushing good learning. As I walk 

in and out of classrooms I daily see staff focused on good 

learning, working hard to use our ‘Learn Create Share’ 

framework in more and more of their work, engaging our 

tamariki more and more effectively with their own learning. 

And in all of that we celebrate the wonderful work done 

by our partnership schools across our Uru Manuka cluster 

as they use that same ‘Learn Create Share’ framework to 

develop creative critical thinkers who are well on the way 

to being able to manage their own behaviour and their own 

learning.

Ngā mihi nui 

Robin Sutton 

Principal 

Years 7 – 13 

Six Hornby High School students attended 

the World Vision Youth Conference held 

recently. 

Students Anaru Jackson, Spencer 

Drummond, Rosa Cameron, Crystal 

Edminstin, Montana Jamieson and Shvoune 

Jefferies were accompanied by Mr Ben 

Carter. 

The day-long conference is designed to 

equip students with the leadership tools 

they need to create change both locally 

and globally. 

Comments from the students following the 

event included: 

“No matter what age or what race you are 

you can make a change to the world, make 

it a better place and lead by example,” – 

Montana; 

“Because of their unique way of 

presenting, it opened your mind to the fact 

that you got emotionally attached but then 

brought it back to you that we needed to 

do something to help,” – Anaru; 

“It made me stop and think how lucky we 

are to have what we have and the school 

we go to because in Syria they don’t even 

have schools,” – Shvoune; 

“The biggest thing for me was learning 

about Syria and just how people live 

over there and just what they have been 

through,” – Rosa; 

“This experience has opened my eyes, 

made me realize that I, as a young person, 

have a voice that could change someone’s 

Resilience, 

Respect 

Conference gives students 

insights into world issues 

future,” – Crystal; and 

“That’s why we should encourage the 

40 Hour Famine, so we can support the 

people in need,” – Spencer.

BEING HEALTHY: Kidsfirst Templeton has won a Heart Foundation award for an event they held 

in February. 

Award for Heart Day 

School’s multi-purpose 

learning space opened 

A SCHOOL providing education 

for students with underlying 

intellectual impairment have 

celebrated the opening of their 

brand new residential facilities. 

Halswell Residential College 

celebrated the opening of their 

$9 million family-style residential 

houses and multi-purpose 

learning spaces on Thursday. 

Earthquake strengthening of 

the main school buildings have 

been completed along with the 

demolition of old villas. 

Associate education minister 

Nikki Kaye joined the school 

community to celebrate the 

opening. 

Principal Janine Harrington 

said the upgrade was focused 

on providing quality residential 

facilities for up to 32 students. 

“We are delighted with the 

residential accommodation and 

the multi-purpose learning environment 

. . . this is especially important 

as we operate as a 24/7 

school where living is learning,” 

she said. 

Work will now continue on 

the rebuild of the short-stay 

accommodation for students’ 

families along with the conference 

area. 

The school’s board chairman 

Dave Turnball said the opening is 

an exciting acknowledgement of 

everyone’s collaborative efforts. 

KIDSFIRST TEMPLETON has 

scooped the overall South Island 

award in the Heart Foundation 

awards for a ‘Heart Day’ event it 

held in February. 

THe awards recognise early 

childhood services that promote 

healthy food choices and 

encourage physical activity in 

centres, at home and the wider 

community. 

THe foundation has 

encouraged early childhood 

education centres to hold Heart 

Day events to encourage what 

it means for people to look after 

their heart. 

Kidsfirst head teacher Trish 

Ralston said coming together 

as a kindergarten family and 

community was the inspiration 

for holding the Heart Day picnic 

at their local park. 

“We dressed in red and walked 

down to the domain where we 

shared a healthy picnic. We all 

had lots of fun together with egg 

and spoon races, three-legged 

races, sack races and parachute 

games,” she said. 

“To keep our heart rates 

pumping we also played our 

favourite kindy games of duck, 

duck, goose and honey hunt.” 

Parents and family also donated 

money on the day, which was 

passed on to the foundation for 

its annual appeal.

Jaidyn goes 

in the shot put 

record book 

CHRISTCHURCH GIRLS’ student 

Jaidyn Busch etched her name 

in the record books with a huge 

shot put throw at the secondary 

schools athletics championships in 

Dunedin. 

Busch threw a distance of 

14.77m in the under-16 event 

smashing the previous record of 

12.92m. 

The previous record was set in 

2013. 

Last month she also beat her 

school’s record of 11.17m – which 

had stood since 2003 – with a 

throw of 12.32m. 

Villa equal high school relay record 

SPORTS 

• By Andrew King 

VILLA MARIA have backed 

up their national success in 

the under-19 4x400m relay, 

equalling a record at the 

secondary schools athletics 

championships in Dunedin. 

Tegan Duffy, 17, Georgia 

Stroud, 16, Olivia Burnham, 15, 

and Kate Davies, 14, ran a 4min 

00.14sec time, equalling the record 

set by Dunedin’s Columba 

College in 2015. 

Burnham ran the final leg and 

said she knew when she crossed 

the line that it was a quick time. 

“I didn’t think it was a record. 

I was in total amazement, it was 

pretty awesome,” she said. 

Davies is a new addition to 

the team. The others have been 

together for the past three years 

and, with former student Jessie 

Anderson, they set the national 

record in the under-19 4x400m 

last year in Auckland, finishing 

in 4min 1sec. 

They are also the Canterbury 

secondary schools grass recordholders. 

Davies said it was intimidating 

to come into a team that had 

so much success, but she was 

excited by the opportunity.

Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or 

could it be mainly my muscles? 

The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham sees clients with 

a range of symptoms but many of their middle-aged and 

senior clients visit complaining of pain in one of their joints. 

PhysiotheraPist ietje van 

stolk suggests that a major part of the 

pain could be due to muscle pain rather 

than simply arthritis. “even if an x-ray 

shows arthritis, the reason for the pain 

may be the muscles around the joint,” 

she explains. The images show how 

a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back 

muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain 

are the red areas in the drawings), a knot 

in a muscle on the back of the shoulder 

blade can give a deep pain in the front 

of the shoulder and a muscle knot all the 

way near the groin can give an ache in 

the knee (especially at night in bed). 

ietje recalls one case where an 89 

year old client with severe arthritis who 

walked with a stick, told her, “i will 

end up in a wheelchair, i cannot put 

any weight through my right leg due to 

pain in my hip and buttock”. “Within 

4 treatments, she was walking with 

her stick but without the severe pain,” 

says ietje. “The arthritis was one of the 

factors that made her muscles spasm but 

the other was that older people move 

less and the flexed position the hip is 

in when we sit is particularly bad for 

the hip.” ietje is happy with the fact that 

although the client was 89 and could 

have been “given up on” or told to live 

with the pain, she made a difference to 

her health and wellbeing. 

The same lack of movement can 

be the reason for your knee pain or 

your shoulder pain and the same few 

treatments could make a huge difference 

for you. 

at Physical sense, hands-on 

techniques (massage and triggerpoint 

deactivation techniques) are used 

to release the muscles. The client 

also gets a home exercise program 

designed to mobilize and stretch the 

joint, strengthen the important core 

muscles and increase general strength 

and balance. They teach a movement 

sequence that stretches the joint in all 

directions whilst the client is able to lie 

safely on their bed, perfect for older or

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt) 

less mobile clients. 

in many cases having the muscles 

released and being taught how to 

maintain it, is enough to stay on top of 

the problem. if severe arthritis is the 

underlying cause, some maintenance 

therapy may be necessary, but that is 

often more affordable and, for older 

patients, better tolerated than surgery. in 

very few treatments the client will know
