school 

ahead of 

schedule 

A NEW school in Halswell is 

set to open three years ahead of 

schedule due to rapid growth in 

the area. 

Education Minister Nikki 

Kaye said the $11 million 

Halswell West Primary School 

would open in 2019, with 

construction beginning early 

next year. 

Halswell West Primary 

School will be situated on 

the corner of Richmond Ave 

and Killarney Ave, near the 

new residential subdivision of 

Knights Stream Park, between 

Prebbleton and Oaklands. 

“The Halswell area is 

experiencing rapid growth, 

and we’ve responded to that by 

bringing forward the planned 

date for Halswell West Primary 

School to ensure children will 

be able to attend a local school,” 

Ms Kaye said. 

The new school, which is part 

of the Christchurch School 

Rebuild programme, was originally 

scheduled to open in 2022. 

It will cater for children from 

years 1 to 8 and will initially 

have space for 450 students, 

with the capacity to expand up 

to 700. 

“There will be multiple stages 

to the build, with the second 

stage beginning when roll 

projections show that more 

spaces are required,” Ms Kaye 

said. 

As part of the Christchurch 

School Rebuild programme, 11 

schools have been completed, 27 

are under construction and 19 

will start construction this year. 

The funding for Halswell 

West Primary School comes 

from the $1.137 billion allocated 

to the Christchurch School 

Rebuild programme, 

which aims to rebuild or renew 

115 schools by 2022.

A NEW chapter so to speak in 

the history of the Bishopdale 

Library and Community Centre 

with the opening of new premises 

on Saturday. 

The old library was badly damaged 

in the February 2011 earthquake. 

But the wait is over. 

Reporter Julia Evans and photographer 

Martin Hunter headed 

down yesterday and found a familiar 

face browsing through the 

shelves – former All Black hooker 

Peter Sloane. 

The complex is called 

Ōrauwhata, which means the 

place of the multitude of eels. 

You’ll have to read our story on 

page 4 to find out why and Peter 

Sloane has his smiling face on

Good news for young families

Library gets grand opening 

• By Julia Evans 

THE WAIT is over. 

With the old Bishopdale 

Library closing almost six years 

ago, Ōrauwhata: Bishopdale 

Library and Community Centre 

was opened to the community 

on Saturday. 

The ribbon-cutting ceremony 

included speeches from city 

councillor Jamie Gough, 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board chairman 

David Cartwright and former 

chairwoman Val Carter. 

Kapa haka groups from 

Isleworth School and Breens 

Intermediate also performed. 

“The loss of the old Bishopdale 

Community Centre and 

Library was a huge blow to the 

community,’’ Cr Gough said. 

But he said the new building 

would become a focal point of 

the regenerating area. 

The $4.1 million city council 

asset was built on the site of 

the former Bishopdale Creche 

in the Bishopdale Village Mall, 

adjacent to where the old library 

was recently demolished. 

“The library and community 

centre had been an important 

part of the Bishopdale 

community since 1976, and we 

quickly set about establishing a 

temporary library in Bishopdale 

Mall, and finding the perfect

location for a new facility,” city 

council head of libraries and 

information Carolyn Robertson 

said. 

Ms Robertson said it was the 

city council’s chance to create a 

purpose-built facility that met 

all of the community’s modern 

needs. 

Ngai Tuahuriri Runanga gifted 

the name Ōrauwhata, which 

means “the place of the multitude 

of eels”. 

It reflects the area before it 

was planted and developed by 

the Bishop family in the 19 th 

century, when it had eels in the 

water basins formed during 

flooding.

co-ordinator 

Antonia 

Allison writes 

about a new 

short film on display at the 

house 

Good news, Riccarton House 

is now open during the farmers’ 

market on Saturdays. 

House tours, coffee, tea and hot 

chocolate will be available in the 

warmth of the house and out of 

the cold. 

HAU, a short film by artist 

and director Kate Belton, is now 

displayed in the house. 

With evocative music, HAU is 

a gentle meditation on our sense 

of belonging. Free to view, a written 

interpretation is available as a 

hand-out. 

Recent repairs in the house 

have resulted in two newly tiled 

and vastly improved fireplaces in 

the entrance hall and restaurant, 

further adding to the inviting 

warmth of Riccarton House. 

Outside, Riccarton Bush is also 

having its interpretation panels 

either updated or replaced. 

At this stage, surveys are going 

out to user groups, such as 

local schools and nature groups 

among others, for research 

feedback. 

The final report will then be 

written up for the trust board to 

review. 

In the Riccarton House 

gardens, a memorial cork oak 

was recently planted by Manson 

family descendants, to replace 

an unhealthy specimen and to 

celebrate ancestors Samuel and 

Jean Manson and their family arriving 

on the Canterbury Plains 

(with William Deans) in 1843. 

Mr Manson made Canterbury 

history by building Riccarton 

Cottage, now the oldest building 

on the Canterbury Plains, and 

Mrs Manson by giving birth to 

the first European baby born on 

the plains in 1844. 

After the fanfare of Scottish 

bagpipes and speeches, the Manson 

descendants retired to Riccarton 

House for coffee and cake 

where an offer of a house tour 

was taken up by a large number 

of family members. 

•The house and cafe 

are open from 9am-4pm, 

Sunday to Friday. Daily house 

tours start at 2pm 

and run for an hour with 

30min house tours starting 

at 10am, 11am and noon on 

Saturdays.

Avonhead diva goes Whoopi for musical 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

TAKING ON the role of the one 

and only ‘Lady Fabulous’, Deloris 

Van Cartier, could just be what 

Monique Clementson was born 

to do. 

Straight out of the city’s performing 

arts school and already 

Clementson, 21, has been chosen 

to play the lead role in the musical 

Sister Act in both Invercargill 

and Christchurch. 

She was head-hunted for the 

role and, on the same day the 

Avonhead resident auditioned 

for Invercargill Musical Theatre’s 

version of the show, she got a 

call to go audition for Showbiz 

Christchurch, which will stage 

the show in September. 

Having grown up watching 

Whoopi Goldberg in the 1992 

film on which the musical is 

based, Clementson’s first big role 

out of the National Academy of 

Singing and Dramatic Art is a 

dream come true. 

“I am so incredibly grateful . . . 

it was just such a blessing to have 

the opportunity to even audition 

for the role,” she said. 

Describing her character as 

“sassy”, “straight-up” and “spontaneous”, 

Clementson said she 

has a connection with Deloris 

Van Cartier’s love of performing. 

Like her character, Clementson 

DIVA WITH A FEVER: Monique Clementson performing in the Invercargill Musical Theatre’s 

version of Sister Act. 

is also a fan of the nightlife, saying 

there is nothing like Mama 

Hooch on a Friday night. 

“That is my favourite thing 

to do in the weekend, to go out 

and pretend I am the best dancer 

there,” she said. 

While she describes her dancing 

as “gamy”, she thinks it will 

work for her role. 

The past year has already been 

a whirl-wind for Clementson, 

who has also secured two professional 

gigs with The Court Theatre 

in its production of Legally 

Blonde and the children’s show 

Cinderella in Space. 

Having a passion to make 

people laugh, she has even been 

made an apprentice Court Jester 

– the team behind the country’s 

longest running comedy show 

Scared Scriptless. 

“If someone was, like, what is 

your dream goal? I would full-on 

say, I would love to have my own 

television show like Ellen or The 

Oprah Winfrey Show . . . and 

just give away heaps of stuff,” she 

said. 

Yet like a lot of artists in the 

city under pressure to find 

full-time work, Clementson has 

had times when she worried 

she made the wrong decision to 

study performing arts. 

“Between the time of finishing 

Legally Blonde and before I did 

a kids show . . . I had nothing 

and I was freaking out thinking 

I made the wrong decision,” she 

said. 

But Clementson said she opted 

to study at NASDA because she 

had never been particularly good 

at anything else. 

While studying, she was 

presented with a number of 

“serious” stage roles which she 

said were a huge challenge and 

developed her as a person. 

“All the things I went through 

during studying like relationships 

and break-ups and all that 

gross stuff helped,” she said.

NO SLEEP: A group of 150 teens played laser tag, bounced on trampolines, went swimming and 

rock climbing all throughout the night. 

PHOTOS: AARON CAMPBELL 

Teens long night of fun 

• By Julia Evans 

ONE HUNDRED and fifty 

teenagers recently did what 

teenagers do best – stay up all 

night. 

From 8am to 8pm on July 7 and 

8, teens congregated in Papanui 

and took part in a variety of 

different activities throughout the 

entire night. 

The 150 young people were 

joined by 40 youth leaders and 

city council staff while they 

went to the mega air trampoline 

arena, Graham Condon Sport 

and Recreation Centre, played 

laser tag, went rock climbing and 

watched movies. 

The Northwest Youth 

Collective’s Dusk to Dawn 

event was supported by the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

and Papanui-Innes community 

boards. Papanui-Innes 

Community Board chairwoman 

Ali Jones said there were some 

particularly exhausted young 

people by the morning. 

“To all the council staff who 

put their hand up to help out at 

some stage throughout the night 

and early hours of the morning, 

it is much appreciated. This could 

not happen without you,” said Ms 

Jones.

$5000 raised for Aviva 

A GROUP of Riccarton 

business women raised 

more than $5000 for family 

violence support group 

Aviva. 

The Riccarton Venus 

Businesswomen’s 

Networking Group held a 

fundraiser on July 2 with 

the proceeds going directly 

to Aviva families. 

“It’s amazing to see what 

you can achieve when you 

have businesswomen supporting 

and encouraging 

each other and creating 

these kinds of collaborations, 

and a perfect fit in 

giving back to the community,” 

regional South Island 

Venus manager Maree 

Bryant said. 

The group fundraised by 

selling Safelets, a bracelet 

designed to help vulnerable 

people feel safe. 

Safelet has just been 

launched in New Zealand 

by Sharron Jones. 

After an accident while 

living alone, she searched 

for a personal safety option 

for herself and on discovering 

Safelet wanted to share 

the benefits of the product 

with the rest of New Zealand. 

Safelet is an “on the 

go” personal safety alarm 

bracelet that allows the 

wearer to be connected and 

protected by friends and 

family. 

With the push of a button 

they can alert their 

guardians and emergency 

services to their whereabouts 

and that they need 

help. 

When the lucky winner 

of a Safelet, Diane Moore 

decided to regift it back to 

Aviva it really was a celebration 

of women wanting 

to give back. 

Aviva helps individuals 

and families to become – 

and stay – free of violence. 

They work with children, 

women, and men, giving 

each person the support 

they need, when they 

need it, to become safe 

and live free of the effects 

of family and sexual 

violence. 

Aviva Families is delighted 

to receive the support 

to be able to offer their 

vulnerable families this 

additional tool to help keep 

them safe.

A stampeding elephant storms through the muddy waters near the Heathcote River. 

PHOTOS: SARAH WEBBER PHOTOGRAPHY 

Wild side of the Heathcote 

THE FLOOD waters in 

Christchurch didn’t quite reach 

biblical proportions but one 

photographer has managed to 

spread a bit of chuckle through 

her imaginative photographs. 

A stampeding elephant, 

churning up water as it heads for 

safety, a bear clutching a fish in 

its mouth and an orca leaping 

through the streets of Beckenham 

are part of an apparent exodus of 

animals from the suburb. 

Even old Nessie, the Loch Ness 

Monster, the legendary water 

creature from Scotland, makes an 

appearance. 

Sarah Webber, the photographer 

behind the shots, said she 

was stuck inside during the floods 

and wanted to do something creative 

and a bit tongue-in-cheek. 

She started with Nessie and 

posted it on Facebook. The photo 

was such a hit that she started 

getting requests for particular 

animals. 

“I was just rushing to get them 

done – it is not even good photoshopping,” 

she said. 

The Loch Ness Monster, seldom seen at its home in Scotland 

let alone in another country, drops by to pay a visit. 

A crocodile 

sits waiting 

for its 

prey in the 

Heathcote 

River. 

A dolphin frolics through the flood waters paying Beckenham residents a visit. A killer whale

leaves each day feeling secure and loved in 

their special environment. 

At Marshlands Nest they create a most 

positive environment for children so they can

HEALTH & AWARENESS 

Hip 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 or 

both hips. 

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. Alternatively, a back 

muscle could also be the cause, as shown in 

the image. 

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 

Hip muscle that causes hip pain 

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

her health and wellbeing. 

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 hip, 

strengthen the important core muscles and 

increase general strength and balance. They 

teach a movement sequence that stretches 

the hip in all directions whilst the client is 

able to lie safely on their bed, perfect for 

older or 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 

Back hip muscle that causes hip pain 

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 if 

it is going to work for them or not, without 

financial commitment. 

Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door and there is ample 

parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz
