has been realigned through the

More than 2000 plants will be

introduced as part of the overall

development.

The college’s environmental

group is working with students,

a contractor and city council

staff to plant up to 300 plants on

the school grounds.

“By involving students in the

project, we aim to nurture their

interest in the natural environment,”

acting city council land

said.

“We hope that they can embrace

the value of a flourishing

environment that benefits the

greater community,” he said.

OPPONENTS OF the Rawhiti

swap plan are relieved it won’t go

ahead.

Regenerate Christchurch has

axed relocating the two golf clubs

to a combined course in Bexley.

The decision comes after

widespread opposition. Those

against the plan feared Rawhiti

Domain and the golf course

would be turned into housing.

It sparked a community

meeting, which more than 100

people attended to express their

concerns.

Guardians of Rawhiti cofounder

Cathy Baker said the

group was relieved with the

outcome after previously saying it

“opposed the idea vehemently.”

“I think a lot of people in New

Brighton . . . opposed it.”

Rawhiti Golf Club president

Leon Zilinskas said the club had

no definite opinion on the matter.

“We were still waiting to see

how everything rolled with it. We

were still open-minded about it

all and happy to stay where we

are.”

from the editor’s desk

AS MUCH as a new golf course in the

red zone would have been fantastic,

commonsense has prevailed over the

Rawhiti Domain land swap (see page 1).

Rawhiti Golf Club president Leon

Zilinskas is personally disappointed with

the decision, but the club in general had an open mind about

the swap.

The Avondale Golf Club was split over the shift from its headquarters.

That’s understandable.

The club has new premises, the course is in a good location

and has enough long and tricky holes to make you want to

return.

If the land swap went ahead, developers would have swooped

in and turned the Rawhiti golf course and domain into housing.

That would have been a shame for New Brighton.

Bid to revamp war memorial


NEW BRIGHTON’S south

ramp and the war memorial

could be revamped.

The Coastal-Burwood Community

Board has asked for

$200,000 from the city council’s

Long Term Plan 2018-2028 for

the project.

The plan would include getting

rid of the contentious anti-graffiti

panels on the war memorial.

Board chairwoman Kim

Money said it would be a “collaborative

project” with the

New Brighton RSA and the

community, which she hopes

would showcase the foreshore

area better, for the national and

international events which are

held there.

“The idea has came about for

various reasons, one being that

the community and RSA were

very disappointed with the look

of the panels which had gone

around the memorial.”

“At the same time, we have had

the lovely new development to

the north of the pier and we have

big events that we use the space

south of the pier for . . . we want

to take this opportunity to relook

at that space because we are

within a regeneration stage.”

Coastal-Ward city councillors

Glenn Livingstone and David

East have both expressed interest

in supporting the project.

“It’s a place of historical

significance, it’s a gathering

point on Anzac Day, we have

huge crowds. It does need

recognition in the council’s LTP,

in some way, so David and I

will be pursuing that,” said Cr

Livingstone.

“I will be keeping an open

mind with a view to support that

. . . obviously we have to balance

all the needs around the city and

if we can accommodate that it

would be great,” said Cr East.

The $25,000 anti-vandalism

panels installed last July were

criticised by the RSA and people

in the community who called

them “ugly.”

The memorial was vandalised

by graffiti in 2015.

New Brighton RSA executive

manager Garry House said

the money was wasted and the

community was not properly

consulted.

Mr House said he will be

happy to see them go.

“They detract from it, they

don’t add to it. In the long term,

we hope that they will develop

that site. Put really good lighting,

more cameras, good signage

and maybe move some of those

obstacles like plants and trees so

it’s more visible.

If the panels are removed,

new security measures will be

installed to deter vandalism.

Veterinary practice

A week of

orthopedics pAtients

Last week was a busy

orthopedic week at

the clinic. I love an

orthopedic challenge

and as a young

veterinarian I would

have loved to have

studied and specialized

in orthopedic surgery.

Steve and I went to

the UK early on in

our careers and Steve

studied Ophthalmology.

I didn’t think seriously

about doing a surgical

residency back then

as Steve and I were

desperate to get home

to our two dogs, Chief

and Tobias. Thinking

back it would have been

valuable for our Practice,

considering how fast we

have grown and how many surgical cases

we see. I know my limitations and often

we need to refer these cases to orthopedic

specialists for the best outcome, as long as

our client can financially afford this option.

First up was Pluto, an adorable 5 month

old grey

tabby who

suddenly

came

home lame

on his right hind leg. No injuries, bruising or

swellings were noted, although his stifle felt

odd. Pluto was given an anti inflammatory

injection and sent home on room rest. He

returned a few days later having shown no

improvement so I radiographed his pelvis

and right hind leg. What I saw took me by

surprise. Pluto had

completely fractured

his patella (knee cap)

in half! I tried to splint

the leg but cheeky

little Pluto got that

off in no time. He

was cage rested for

1 week and then

rexrayed. As you

can see the gap has

widened between

the patella fragments.

Currently Im seeking

Pluto

Baghera

advice from a referral surgeon as to what is

the best approach for little Pluto.

Baxter is the cutest, calmest 6 month

old Beagle who presented to me initially

4 weeks ago just sore and stiff in his

hindquarters. He had leapt out of the car

and yelped and cowered, as if he had

pain somewhere. On

examination his left

hind leg had limited

movement. Baxter was

otherwise well, had been

fed a premium puppy

kibble but I was slightly

worried that Baxter may

have a degree of hip

dysplasia. When Baxter

was neutered I xrayed

his hips. I noticed a left

sided femoral neck stress

fracture. We have strictly

rested Baxter and the

rexray taken one month

later showed the fracture

was slowly healing. Luckily

this will come right with

time, premium nutrition

Baxter and taking it easy on the

exercise front.

Baghera, a 6 year old

black DSH, was bought in by the SPCA

one weekend after being found on the

road, unable to move. Luckily he was

microchipped so we found his very worried

owner that day. He came in very cold, in

shock and not able to stand at all. We

immediately placed Baghera on intravenous

fluid, warmed him up with hotties and a

heating pad, administered pain relief and

xrayed his hindquarters. He had suffered 2

pelvic fractures – an acetabular fracture to

the left hip and a sacroiliac

fracture to the right side.

Both these prevented him

from standing, therefore

he couldn’t use his litter

tray. He was hospitalized

for a few days to make sure

he had bladder function

and to stabilize his

condition. All the surgical

options were discussed ( one being referral)

with his loving owner and it was decided

that we do surgery at the clinic, performed

by Dr Steve Heap. So far Baghera is home,

mobilizing, tioleting and doing well. Thank

goodness for microchips!

As you can see we often need to consult the

specialists for the best

option and outcome

for our patients. We

have digital xray so

can easily email the

images to the referral

veterinarian and

we will often get a

report back in a few

days. Steve and I are

in the early stages

of building a large

new addition that

will join our existing Practice ( we are just

waiting for council consents). We are very

excited as this will allow us to offer more

services to our clients and to employ more

vets with specialized skills in particular areas,

and a specialized soft tissue and orthopedic

surgeon will be on that list.

However, Mr Zilinskas said personally

he was disappointed. “I thought

it was a great opportunity to

get brand new facilities for our

club but also, in my view, I think

the whole suburb needs a bit of

operation to come back.”

Avondale Golf Club president

Dave Buchanan has said

previously the club was divided

over the merger. He didn’t want to

comment on the decision to not go ahead

with the plan.

Coastal Ward city councillor Glenn

2016 to introduce a bylaw to stop fast food

outlets opening close to schools.

The restaurant would also feature a Mc-

Cafe and a playland area for children.

Livingstone is pleased Regenerate Christchurch

had listened to opponents of the

views matter and are taken into account.”

Said Regenerate chief executive Ivan

Safety to be addressed by

removing Westhaven trees


A NEW report has found fewer

trees in the Westhaven area need

to be removed than originally

thought.

In October, a city council assessed

314 trees in the area and

found 168 which were recommended

for removal.

Of the 168, 138 could be replaced

and 30 could not.

However, a new report by city

council has found that 90 trees

of the original 168 can be

retained for around five to 10

years.

The trees have become oversized

and the roots are causing

damage to infrastructure including

footpaths, kerbs, vehicle

crossings, driveways, walls,

fences and letterboxes.

The issue is causing public

safety issues and involves 24

streets.

City council arborist Dieter

Steinnegg said only 78 need to be

removed at this stage.

“This will lessen the immediate

impact to the community and the

environment in terms of loss of

trees.”

Of those 78, 39 can be replaced

in the same location and 39

potentially elsewhere within

Westhaven.

“The repairs to city council

owned infrastructure will still be

able to progress at the same level.”

LINWOOD AVENUE School pupils

proposed Linwood-Woolston Pool site in

A RARE white heron has made a

The bird, which is endangered

150 around New Zealand, has

been spotted in the area by city

council park ranger Jason Roberts.

City council ornithologist

Andrew Crossland says it’s the

first time he has heard of a white

heron visiting the ponds.

Work that has been carried

out by city council rangers in

recent years to create wetland

habitats and attract native birds

seems to have been effective, he

says.

“It’s a bit of a coup to get an

iconic native bird like this one in

the area. White herons are found

in the estuary, at Lake Ellesmere

and at Travis Wetland but not

swim,” she said.

“If we are lucky enough to have the

pool in Smith St, I would also like a diving

board to encourage people to conquer

their fear. I would also like a pool for

swimming lessons so people know how

to survive,” she said.

Ms Buck said the youngsters have

highlighted their support for an indoor

pool in Smith Street.

PUBLICAN: Dean Calvert (left) turns back the clock as he poses in

22-year-old pro boxer. (Above) – Joseph Parker fighting Anthony

Joshua in Cardiff.

Former champ hooks up with Parker

• By Gordon Findlater

VALLEY INN Tavern owner

Dean Calvert got closer

than most to Joseph Parker

in the build up to his world

heavyweight title unification

fight with Anthony Joshua in

Cardiff, Wales.

The former New Zealand titleholder

travelled with his father

George and brother Bryce to

London ahead of the fight where

they spent time with Parker in

the build up.

Mr Calvert, 47, comes from a

boxing mad family.

Their love for the sport has

seen them travel to a number

of high profile fights around

the world, including the Floyd

Mayweather Jr v Manny

Pacquiao fight in Las Vegas in

2015.

However, the world title fight

between Parker and Joshua on

Easter Sunday was unlike any

the family had travelled to see

before. They were made to feel

like part of the Parker family in

the build up to his biggest fight

to date.

Mr Calvert’s main connection

to the Parker camp comes

through Parker’s trainer Kevin

Barry, who also trained Mr

Calvert in the early 1990s.

“We got made to feel like part

of the family. His mum would

come down to breakfast every

morning and say hello and give

us a hug and a kiss,” said Mr

Calvert.

“We were lucky enough to

be invited on his team walk

the morning of the fight. It’s

something he does the morning

of his fights; just goes for a 15min

walk to relax.”

Mr Calvert won four New

Zealand titles in his career as a

welterweight. He also won the

Jameson Belt in 1992. The belt is

awarded to the best boxer at the

national championships each

year.

Mr Calvert’s first boxing

trainer was his grandfather

FAMILY: Dean Calvert, Joseph Parker, Bryce Calvert and

George Calvert in the UK.

Ryan Mitchell. This was before

he worked with Barry who was

training David Tua at the same

time.

Mr Calvert had 70 amateur

fights before going on to register

a professional record of eight

wins from eight fights. He took

what was originally set to be

a short break from fighting at

24. However, Mr Calvert never

returned to training.

“I do regret it sometimes, but

then I’ve had a lot of other great

memories since doing other

things.”

After boxing, Mr Calvert

worked for his family cleaning

business for 17 years before

buying the Valley Inn Tavern in

2004.

“I like the social side. It’s a

good place to catch up with

friends and the locals.”

Although Mr Calvert was

lucky enough to be at Cardiff’s

Millennium Stadium 10 rows

back from the action, he says the

Valley Inn Tavern is as good a

place as any to watch the fight.

“We were chock-a-block for the

Parker fight. We had a couple of

hundred people here, every time

he’s fought it’s been like that.”

Outside of boxing, the tavern

owner managed to find time for

some business research.

“We organised a good pub

crawl one day.”

“I bought a few menus to have

a good look at. We’ve got a few

more vegans asking for meals at

the moment so the main thing

I looked at was a few different

options for that.”

As for the future of his

favourite boxer, Mr Calvert

believes at just 26, Parker has

the determination to bounce

back.

“He was talking to us on the

plane on the way home and

he’s just determined to get

back in there and get back to

the top.”

of properties all over Christchurch.

QE II school rezoning angers parents

Shirley resident

Verity Verster

talks about

how several

suburbs may be

left out of the

potential new

zone

THE REZONING of Shirley

School has left local residents

feeling robbed.

Families remained in the area,

decided to rebuild their homes

with the prospect of being able

to send their children to either

high school. The rezoning has

excluded the current community

of Richmond, Dallington, Shirley

and Edgeware, leaving residents

frustrated, angry, abandoned and

robbed.

This community remained in

the area for the schools. When

the schools were facing closure

– we fought alongside them to

remain open. When the schools

announced that they would

NEW SCHOOLS: Several suburbs may no longer be in the

zone for the new Shirley Boys and Avonside Girls’ High School

campus being built at QE II Park.

remain open but would need to

relocate, we were assured that

we would be zoned for the new

schools. We were given assurances

that we could send our

children to a single sex high

school.

Based on those assurances,

many families decided to rebuild

their broken and damaged homes

and primary school children

continued to attend broken and

damaged primary schools. The

promise made to them was the

opportunity to attend a state-ofthe-art

campus, steeped in tradition

with a reputation second to

none. My boys would be SBHS

graduates. There was a silver

lining.

This is why we are so angry.

Why we are here today. Comments

have been made that we

have a local high school close by;

the re-zoned area doesn’t have a

school and needs one; we argued

against the inclusion of a further

area yet want to be included

ourselves etc.

This argument is not about

what we have v what other

areas don’t have. It is not a them

against us and vice versa argument.

The bottom line – the

Ministry of Education made

assurances that affected the

decisions local residents made.

Big decisions. Life changing decisions.

The MOE has gone back on

those assurances and cut us out

completely. Any resident anywhere

in Christchurch faced with

this realisation would be angry.

Would be frustrated. Would feel

robbed.

Furthermore, although the

school and the MOE have

been in communication for 18

months regarding ‘rezoning’, the

local residents have only been

informed now and given three

weeks to rally together and fight

for inclusion. The culpability

lies at the door of the MOE yet

it is no where to be seen – no

representatives, no one to answer

the questions that residents need

answers to.

Readers respond to an

article about what the

community wants in the

QE II Park masterplan,

including a three-par golf

course and a new walking

track

Graeme Halliday – No, I

would rather this land rebuilt

into a theme park, wouldn’t that

be much better?

Leslee Wilson – No thank

you, there’s too many golf courses

in the area as it is for a select few.

It needs to be multi-use.

Veronica Cockinakis –

Yes, and a mini golf for families

please.

Jared Rowbotham – Prefer

the old leisure centre, to be

honest.

Readers respond to an

article about WorkSafe

investigating New

Brighton’s potholed car

park on Hawke St

Bill Misselbrook – As I

read it the owners of this private

property have been allowing the

public to use it for parking at no

charge. Why would you complain

about getting something for free?

HAZARD:

Zealand will see

what can be done

in New Brighton’s

Hawke St car park,

which Coastal-

city councillor

David East says

are dangerous.

PHOTO: GILBERT

WEALLEANS

It’s not as if anyone is forcing

people to use it and there are

pathways around the outside that

can be used if anyone considers

it a hazard. Come on people,

personal responsibility and

commonsense.

Unless the owners are feeling

particularly benevolent, then

the most likely outcome of

complaining will be that public

access is lost.

Westerly Le Breton –

Imagine being elderly or disabled

trying to navigate this wreck.

Gayle Elizabeth Lord

– They could always turn the

potholes into the 50m pool they

won’t give us

at QE II.

Karen

Beaumont

– Now watch

them fence it

off (for safety

reasons)

and have

less parking

available.

Mykel

Holmes – And how do you

think that money is going to

be made back? Goodbye free

parking.

Jennifer Perkins – What

does it take to get this done really.

Kathryn Macgregor – I

don’t think anything will happen

. . . multi-person ownership is

ridiculous, too, I say city council

buy it.

Peter Cooper

– No, the city

council will put

in a cycleway.

Karena Mary

– About time.

Anna Sunnex

the potholes

gone.

Richmond’s Avebury

House offers meeting

space for hugs

COMMUNITY GROUPS will

be able to use rooms in Avebury

House in Richmond for free this

winter – in exchange for a hug.

The initiative is part of the

Avebury House Community

Trust’s new three-year plan to reestablish

itself as a community

development organisation and

social enterprise.

“Avebury House knows how

tight budgets are for community

organisations, so we are offering

meeting spaces for free to reduce

a little bit of financial stress,”

said community trust social

enterprise manager Michelle

Whitaker. Special conditions

apply, including hugs being

“expected, but not mandatory.”

The plan will be carried

out over three months, starting

next month and ending in July,

she said.

“It is also a way to support the

well-being of staff and volunteers

in the midst of winter. ‘A change

is as good as a holiday’ from

your desk to a tranquil, beautiful

heritage house nestled in nature,

and hugs are proven to be good

for well-being too.”

The rooms will be available in

a first-in, first-served basis.


SALTWATER therapy, surfing

and fluro is the ‘recipe’ a New

Brighton community group is

using to tackle mental health

issues.

Rosie Lamb, along with two

friends, founded OneWave New

Brighton, which just celebrated

its first birthday.

The group is one of several

worldwide which originally

started at Bondi Beach in

Sydney, with the goal of

getting people together to raise

awareness about mental health

through surfing, swimming,

yoga and other beach activities,

all while wearing fluro.

The group now has offshoots

spanning 80 beaches in 26

countries.

Miss Lamb said the group,

which is made up of males and

females across all ages, meet at

the New Brighton beach on the

first Saturday of every month at

8am.

“I think the beach has such a

massive impact on well-being.

We either surf, swim, go for

walks or just sit and chat. We

check in with each other to see

how everyone’s doing. It’s about

normalising talking about how

you are feeling.”

Miss Lamb said while the

group doesn’t offer surfing

lessons, there are other activities

for those who don’t surf.

So why fluro?

“It’s about making yourself

seen. It welcomes other people to

approach us and to come along.

It’s seen as a way to put yourself

out there.”

OneWave founder Grant

Trebilco originally got people

talking to him on the beach

by wearing a suit and going

out surfing. People would then

approach him out of curiosity.

FOCUS ON HEALTH

1 in 2 people

deficient in B12

Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults

& as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.

Scientists at Rush University Medical Center found those most

deficient in vitamin B12 to have the smallest brain mass & the lowest

scores on tests measuring short-term memory, concentration &

brain performance. Another study showed that older people with

higher levels of B12 in their blood have bigger, healthier brains &

score higher on cognitive tests than those with lower levels. Yet

another recent landmark study showed that B12 supplementation

slows the accelerated rate of brain shrinkage & declining cognitive

function. B12 is essential for energy production, cell health,

regulation of mood & sleep cycles, nerve health & repair, &

prevention of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor

that is known to cause damage & plaque in the blood vessels. It can

also increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard researchers found a

34% decrease risk of vision loss in a study of participants aged 40+

who supplemented with B12. Another study linked a higher risk

of hearing loss in subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.

The reason so many people lack B12 appears to be our body’s

ability to absorb it declining with age as the digestive system

becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux medication & other drugs

further reduce B12 absorption. The

Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12.

Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain

homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that can also damage the hearing,

Ear Health Canterbury has been

providing a microscopic ear cleaning

service in Canterbury for 19 years

From small beginnings in 1999

where monthly clinics were held in the

Christchurch Hearing Association in

Beveridge Street the service expanded

rapidly as clients discovered and

appreciated the benefits of micro suction

technology.

Twelve months later clinics had

increased to 5 days a week and with the

help of more trained Registered nurses

and Reception staff clinics opened in

Rangiora, Ashburton Timaru Temuka

and Waimate.

In 2004 the clinic moved with the

Hearing Association to larger premises

at 275 Riccarton Road. They remain

there today offering a Monday to

Saturday service and a popular and busy

mobile service to Retirement Villages,

Rest Home residents and to people with

mobility difficulties in their private

homes.

While a weekly clinic is still held in

Ashburton, the South Canterbury clinics

are now under new Management.

Many conditions affecting the outer

ear canal can be treated and monitored

at Ear Health including infections,

relieving impacted wax and removal of

foreign bodies. Preventative education is

also offered and for those with hearing

aids due to sensorineural hearing loss

This safe, accessible, affordable ear

care is provided to all age groups in a

Marian wins public

speaking contest

MARIAN COLLEGE is “buzzing” after

proving itself to be the best Catholic

school in the Canterbury Catholic Diocese

for public speaking, said principal Mary-

Lou Davidson.

The school finished first overall out of

seven schools in the Bishop Lyons’ Shield

competition held at Villa Maria College.

The team of 10 won the debating and

senior speech sections, were first equal in

scripture reading and junior speech, and

third equal in religious questions.

Mrs Davidson said the event was highly

anticipated and celebrated the spirit of

competition and camaraderie between

participating schools.

“The result was an amazing effort by

the whole team. The Marian community

is buzzing with news of the win, we have

had past students and parents contact us

to congratulate the girls. All the hard work

that was put in leading up to the competition

from both students and coaches has

paid off.”

The competition was established by

Bishop Lyons in 1947 when he was bishop

of Christchurch.

Mrs Davidson said it was the second

year this particular Marian College debating

team had won its event.

“Some of the team had older sisters who

had competed and won in past Bishop

Lyons’ Shield events, so it is lovely to see

family traditions continuing,” she said.

This year the scripture reading event

was held in Te Reo Māori for the first

time. Students read a scripture passage

in Te Reo as well as answered questions

about what the passage means and how it

applies to young people today.

Year 12 student Ngahiraka Dallas was

awarded first equal in scripture reading

with a St Bede’s College student.

This is the fourth year Marian College

has won the shield. It previously won it in

1995, 2009 and 2015.

Choosing the

right heat pump

for your home

Whether it be a new build, or

a retrofit, most homes include

at least one heat pump, if not a

whole heating solution. They can

provide cheap, clean heat and are

much more convenient than a log

burner as you just need to press

a button. But how do you decide

what is best? Choosing the right

sized heat pump is key to ensuring

optimum comfort levels. Every

situation varies and it is therefore

important to get professional

advice from heat pump experts.

The range varies from wall mounted high

walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,

ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted

central heating systems allowing you to have a

very discreet way of heating your whole home

to a constant temperature throughout.

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that

is suitable for the size of the space you wish

to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area

taken into consideration but also, insulation,

building orientation, windows and ceiling

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps

available with different heating outputs so it is

important to select

the correct size for

Heating is a major

investment in your home

and it is vital to get the

right advice.

your requirements

that will handle

the job but not

be unnecessarily

overpowered.

Secondly, the

location of your

heat pump is also extremely important. The

cheapest installation is a back to back where

the outdoor unit is positioned directly behind

the indoor unit however this is not necessarily

always the best option. It is vital that the indoor

unit is positioned in a place that will not be

constantly blowing on you. Also important, is

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly

in their outdoor entertaining area or right

outside their bedroom window.

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands

have come and gone over the years but there

are a number of manufacturers who provide

reputable and reliable products. All brands vary

in their energy efficiency, quietness of systems

and price, so it depends on your application as

to which will be most suitable. Major brands

such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin,

Toshiba and Hitachi are all reliable brands

backed up by good technical after sales service.

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an

accredited installer. This will not only ensure

correct installation of your heat pump, but also

validate the manufacturers warranty.

Other things to consider when choosing a

heat pump are time

clocks, ease of use of

the remote controllers,

air filtration and also

wifi capabilities.

Heating is a major

investment in your

home and it is vital to

get the right advice.

Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,

installation and servicing of all major brands

of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers

ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as

to which system will suit your application

the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no

Air Con

Christchurch

Does your range

hood suck?

Air Con Christchurch is your locally owned company recognised by EECA and

CCC as a provider of insulation and heating to meet the Building Code and

landlord requirements. We have all major brands and offer the chance to win

a $5000 Gold Coast Holiday with every heat pump, insulation or ventilation

purchase prior to December 2018.

Summer cooling

“Did you know your heat pump is an air

conditioner?” BUT!! If you bought it for

heating it will struggle to cool the area as

cooling is always less output e.g. Mitsubishi

Electric MSZGE42 = 5kW heating and 4.2kW

cooling. So always ask your installer if you

want cooling as well as heating. We at Air

Con Christchurch always advise what we have

quoted for.

Cooling tips

Select “Cooling” and set at 20 – 22 degrees this

will save you up to 30% running costs and still

be cool (try it and see). 16 degrees is too low.

Winter Heat Pump Specials

Heat pump cleaning

is now due for the winter.

Whether it plain sucks, or whether it

doesn’t suck enough, or even if it is a noisy

sucker - Smooth-Air can help.

Smooth-Air can either improve your

current Range Hood, or custom build to

your specifications.

“We can take your attractive but noisy,

underperforming range hood and retrofit

it with one of our whisper quiet remote

extraction fans.” says Richard Jack, Regional

Manager of Smooth-Air, “We have fans

which can sit in the ceiling space, or outside

on your wall or roof to make it extra quiet.”

In-house testing showed a difference of

20dbA (decibels) between a remote fan

from Smooth-Air and a common in-hood

fan range hood. This corresponds to a

quadrupling in perceived noise level.

Range Hood conversions include removal

of existing fan and rewiring for

new remote fan. Your local sparky

can easily carry out installation of

the new fan.

For kitchens not suited to a

standard range hood, Smooth-Air

can manufacture and powdercoat

a bespoke range hood to match

your décor. Custom built range

hoods have the benefit of being

designed specifically for your

powerful - sucking out cooking smells and

moisture so they don’t circulate around

your home.

Moisture in your home can cause mould

and mildew on your walls and furnishings.

It is also bad for the health of the occupants.

Household cooking is a major source of

internal moisture, therefore an effective

kitchen extraction system can make a

significant difference to internal moisture

levels.

Smooth-Air can also help with other

forms of ventilation, such as bathroom

extraction, condensation reduction or

whole house ventilation.

Contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH

(0800 766 684) to ask how they can help

you with your kitchen extraction, as well

as any other ventilation requirements.

Effective kitchen extraction stops moisture and

odours going through your home.

continuing education

Learning happens

at any time and a

good discussion

helps it happen

Lifelong Learning is not just about older

people learning. It is about good discussion,

taking risks and accepting new challenges

and opening your mind to new ideas. At any

age.

I sit in my office and listen to a group

discussing a wide range of issues in the next

room. Some of their viewpoints I agree with

and some I don’t and I can tell that they do

not all agree with each other. So they discuss

intently then they laugh and have lunch

together. They continue to sort out the world

and issues as far apart as Use of Technology,

Autonomous vehicles, Importance of Art,

Relevance of religion, Veganism, City

transport, Competition in sport, The moral

maze etc.

Kazuko has just completed a series of 3

sessions transforming a room into a place

to absorb Japanese culture while in another

a group discuss “Arguments, Fallacies and

Trickery”. Why can some people argue really

well and others cannot?

Wharfedale Track Overnight Trip

From the 20th to the 21st of March 2018, the outdoor education level 2 and

3 class completed the Wharfedale Track.

The Wharfedale Track is one of the best and longest stretches of single track

in canterbury - curving through the beech forests around Mount oxford.

The students spent their Tuesday afternoon hiking the 15km track to the

destination of the Wharfedale hut where they then cooked their dinner on

gas cookers outside.

it was an early rise on the 21st where students were then back on the track at

8.30am to head back to View hill car Park.

overall this trip really brought the class together and the students feel they

know each other far better.

Trucking Industry Expo

a group of students recently attended the inaugural Trucking industry expo. We battled

a cold day with rain, but it was a great opportunity to hear about the careers that are

attached within all aspects of the trucking industry – from driving, to sales, engineering

and satellite navigation.

all students were given enough time to hear about what is involved and requirements to

enter any of the careers on show and ask any relevant questions.

Next term, we have arranged a visit to one of the exhibitors we talked to, who builds the

truck trailers.

with a 750-seat theatre and a 200-seat theatre, a hockey turf,

four sports fields, three indoor gymnasiums, a café, and a

large library and learning centre.

Both Avonside Girls’ Principal Sue Hume and Shirley Boys’

High School Headmaster John Laurenson are excited by the

progress.

“There are now more than 100 workers on site – that will

peak to more than 300 in coming months. The steel framing

is up and the concrete slabs are down and we can see now

just how big this campus will be – it’s simply wonderful,” says

John Laurenson.

“You can finally see all that we have been talking about and

dreaming about taking shape. We will be onsite with our

students, staff and community making the most of all of the

fantastic new facilities before we know it.”

The campus is due to open in Term Two of 2019. It will be

the first time in New Zealand’s history that two single sex

schools will be co-located.

John Laurenson says the co-location will enable the schools

to offer students more.

“Because we’re building together, we’ve been able to build

bigger and better facilities.”

Sue Hume says the co-location will also enable better educational

opportunities.

“We’ll collaborate on teaching some senior subjects, so we

can offer students wider choice and there’s also the opportunity

to work together on co-curricular opportunities – such

as productions, sports competitions and the like.”

Both principals are keen to point out that the co-location is

not a merger.

“We’ll still be Shirley and they’ll still be Avonside. We’ll

work together, but both schools will retain their own culture,

identity, staff and uniform. This is not a co-ed school,” says

John Laurenson.

“Research shows that single sex education benefits both

boys and girls,” says Sue Hume. “Boys perform better academically

and girls participate more. This new campus, has

been designed so that students will still spend most of their

time in a single sex environment.”

Both Sue and John say the campus will be an asset the east

of Christchurch will be proud of.

“We’ll be right alongside the new QE2 Sport and Recreation

Centre, the School of Gymnastics and have a satellite

unit for Ferndale School onsite. It’s going to be a great place

to learn.”

Catholic Cathedral

College -

To live by faith

Catholic Cathedral College is first and

foremost a Catholic school and for 150 years

Catholic children of Christchurch have been

educated on this site. We aim to produce

graduates who are confident, compassionate,

connected citizens, willing to make a positive

contribution to our society with a focus on

faith, justice and equity.

As the only co-ed Catholic College in

Christchurch, with a vibrant mix of ethnicities,

we offer excellent preparation for life.

excellence and have had sustained excellent

academic results over recent years for all students,

including Maori and Pasifika students,

across all three levels of NCEA.

offers individualised programmes giving students

access to a range of tertiary providers.

If you are looking for a Catholic faith-based

Cashmere High

School – future ready

The good thing about our unpredictable

and changeable future is that it comes one

day at a time – and humans have successfully

navigated dramatic changes and shifts

in periods of our history. Schools, like other

businesses, are busy thinking and planning

to best prepare for the complex modern

and technologically focused future world.

Cashmere is a school with clear direction in

a time of uncertainty.

Here at Cashmere High School

we are future ready, thanks to

our new property works,

successful implementation

of our BYOD (Bring Your

Own Device) programme,

personalised learning

pathways and consistently

excellent educational outcomes.

Mark Wilson, Principal

We have just completed Stage

1, and are well into Stage 2, of our

Christchurch Schools Rebuild programme.

This will deliver modern vibrant facilities

that provide good conditions (e.g. acoustics

and temperature), are digitally connected

(e.g. wifi), and allow for genuinely flexible

learning (e.g. both traditional and innovative

approaches). All our students use their own

digital device (BYOD) to learn not only the

content but also digital skills (e.g. cybersafey)

to equip them for the modern world.

Yet learning is not restricted to digital tools,

with plenty of time for physical exercise and

hands-on practical experiences. Our personalised

learning includes offering broad

curriculum choices and relevant support for

both gifted and talented and those requiring

learning support.

Our consistently outstanding NCEA results

open up personalised pathways for students

– whether this involves moving

onto higher tertiary studies

(e.g. universities) or through

into trades and apprenticeships.

Our staff recognise

and support students to

find their own individual

passions and future pathways.

As a community state school

we also offer our students a safe environment

to socially mix with a wide range

of students and develop the competencies

to live and work in a diverse global society.

We are proud of our mission statement that

means we focus on “developing both the

intellect and character of our students” – in

order to craft well balanced young people

confident in realising their potential in the

Middle schooling

makes a difference

Having a curriculum and learning environment

designed specifically for learners in the

“middle years” (Years 7-10) is essential to

ensure high levels of motivation and engagement

in learning during these crucial years.

At Hillmorton High School, having a

consistent approach without a transition to a

new school between Year 8 and 9, is proving

to be positive in terms of accelerating

student learning within the Middle School.

We are currently working with our architects

designing a new Middle School building

with 22 “General Learning Areas”. These

areas are flexible and can operate as single

cell classrooms or be opened up to allow

more adaptable learning spaces; the best of

both worlds. This building will not disrupt

learning as it is being built on the current

tennis courts.

This environment fits well with our broad

Middle School curriculum which allows

learners to explore and find both their

strengths and passions.

The advantage of combining the skills of

specialist Year 7 and 8 teachers, with the secondary

subject specialists gives our Middle

School learners significant advantage. Additionally,

our “Big Day Out” events and end

of year student electives allow our young

people to learn in a range of environments,

often participating in social action such as

planting, working with the elderly, along

with exploring the city, the Art Gallery and

the university.

Our Middle School is ensuring real educational

success and positive future prospects

as students move into the Senior School for

Years 11-13.

What’s important at Hagley, a school with a

160 year old history which makes it nearly as

old as Christchurch itself?

Our values matter. Those values

are seen in the relationships our

teachers build with each of our students.

It’s how we treat our students

that sets Hagley apart, valuing them

as individuals – that is the Hagley

way. What does that mean for our

students? They feel that teachers are

interested in them and care about

their learning, they feel that they’re

We’re often asked, what makes Hagley different?

We have a culture like no other. No one

wears a uniform and everyone’s on a first name

basis. But that’s just for starters. Students come

to Hagley because they’re treated with respect,

accepted for who they are as unique individuals.

They know it’s cool to be

different!

We love our students aiming

high and doing well. We

believe there is no single stereotype

for success. At Hagley

being successful comes in

many shapes and forms.

When asked what they most want for their

children, the answer that comes back from

parents with resounding consistency is happiness.

One of the really important building

blocks of happiness is strong relationships,

and at Hornby High School we take great

pride in the work that we do to build and

maintain strong relationships throughout the

school. We understand that these relationships

have to be learning focussed, because it

is your child’s learning that matters, and that

these relationships have to be built within

your own cultural context, because to each of

us our culture grounds us in who we are.

These are exciting times for Hornby High

School as work on our school rebuild

proceeds. We move into the first of our new

buildings at the end of term 2 this year.

These new buildings offer a mix of public

and private spaces that match the learning

needs of individual students. They have been

designed to exploit what we call the ‘synergies

‘of different subject areas that is to allow

those logical real world connections to be

easily discovered and experienced by students.

All of this is grounded in programmes

that promote basic literacy and numeracy

skills while also allowing students to develop

the communication, creativity, thinking

and collaborative skills that our new world

demands.

Join us as we work towards our aspiration

to be “A centre of creative excellence He

Years 1 to 8. Medbury offers a traditional

education, encompassing the Medbury values

of manners and respect, and its vision is

to provide an education which prepares boys

for life in the 21st Century.

Whilst placing a high value on Literacy and

Medbury also believes in helping boys

develop as confident individuals, and developing

personal attributes, such as organisation,

confidence, relationships with others,

and independence.

At Medbury, the focus is on the ‘whole

boy’, and small class sizes enable teachers to

deliver a personalised learning programme,

ensuring that every boy has the support, extension

and encouragement he needs to discover

and develop his particular strengths.

The learning programmes are all focused on

a boy’s way of learning, providing them with

a structured environment, with competition,

boundaries and an opportunity to succeed.

Medbury’s Headmaster, Ian Macpherson,

Formation is at the heart of the education

Middleton Grange School provides – a

whole of life formation. We see learning as

holistic; it aims to instruct the mind, shape

the heart and equip the hand. The root of

formation is faith and so Middleton Grange

not only provides a first rate general education

but also biblically based teaching in the

Christian faith.

Formation of the mind is not primarily

intellectual contemplation or conceptual

mastery but a learning that nurtures wisdom

and discernment. It is a learning that

challenges the mind to think, discern and

critique the ideas and theories pupils are

exposed to from a Christian perspective.

Middleton Grange’s learning culture allows

PEGASUS POST

advertising feature

the formation of the heart so that it shapes

the character of each pupil to develop habits

of righteousness, compassion and integrity.

This formation of the mind and heart generates

responsiveness. We want our pupils to

engage in the society they live in, to be of

benefit and blessing in a practical way.

For Middleton Grange School, while our

academic results are of the highest level,

what is highly prized, is that our pupils

exercise wisdom, serve the community and

promote the well-being of others. It is about

forming the pupil to be the person God created

them to be.

All of this is summed up in the school

motto: Character, Excellence, Service for the

Glory of God.

Integrated

Schools

Working together for the good of students

and families has been a successful recipe

for Christian Integrated Schools in Christchurch.

The Christian School Network has been

in existence for over ten years. Aidanfield

Christian School, Emmanuel Christian

School, Hillview Christian School and

Middleton Grange School decided in 2005

that there was much to be gained by working

together cooperatively. They recognised

opportunities to share successful teaching

practice, curriculum development initiatives

across a wide spectrum of school operations

as well as cooperatively strengthening their

special Christian Character. They recognised

that their ability to serve students and

families was greatly enhanced by working

together in a close and trusting relationship.

The success of the network has seen other

schools wanting to join in. Early in the piece

Rangiora New Life School became part of

the network. The schools joined together to

support the genesis of Ashburton Christian

School and also culminated in the start up of

a brand new school in Rolleston in 2015.

The schools have developed interlocking

enrolment schools which assists in providing

transparent pathways in Christian education

from new entrant through to Year 13.

A further strength has been a cooperative

engagement with the Ministry of Education

who have been pivotal in assisting the

networks successful development.

Preparing students

for their future

Giving students the opportunity to study

from an innovative and broad curriculum is

critical to providing each student a pathway

that meets their individual needs. We

allow for a greater range and flexibility in

subject choice including the utilization of

the secondary/tertiary interface.

This reinforces the philosophy

underpinning personalised

learning and is strongly

supported by understanding

our students’

interests, passions,

talents, and ultimately

their career aspirations.

We understand that

for effective learning

to take place, it has to be

implemented in such a way

that students will be highly engaged.

The school does this in a ‘forward

thinking’ way by creating learning environments

that allow our students to see value in

what they do and achieve. Papanui “PRIDE”

is what we represent and we demonstrate

this by having young adults leave our school

as confident learners who have gained the

appropriate qualifications and social skills

to become valued contributing members of

society.

All that we do here is reinforced by positive

relationships, an ethos of caring, cultural

responsiveness, inclusion, and high expectations

– what we call “Our Full service

Model”. The school highly

values the connectedness

of curricular and cocurricular

learning. We

have a philosophical

understanding that the

holistic development of

the student is critical to

their individual success.

The school has worked

hard to consolidate recent

initiatives to ensure sustained

and continuous improvement. You are

invited to view our website, school charter,

ERO report, and/or contact the school for

more information.

Experience the magic of Clifton Hill

20 Tuawera Terrace, Sumner

Price: $980,000

3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 2 living rooms | 2 car-garage | 4 off-street parks | Listing #FM5389

Homes like this on the middle slopes of

Clifton Hill are seldom available, especially

ones with so many possibilities to make your

own and suit your lifestyle.

Recent revitalisation throughout this

two-level, 3 bedroom home has resulted in

a ready-made opportunity to experience

the joys of this location with dynamic and

breath-taking views from the City and Alps,

to New Brighton and the Pacific right up to

Kaikoura.

Easy drive-on access to the property,

includes a double garage and ample offstreet

parking including a separate space for

boat or caravan parking. The home consists

of 3 bedrooms, all with ample storage, and

the master boasting a walk-in wardrobe and

modern ensuite complete with underfloor

heating. The living area is a great size, opening

out to a huge north-west facing balcony for

optimal sunshine, and also leads through to

the kitchen with its compelling views of the

ocean. The jewel in the crown of this home

us the large upper level space - configurable

as you please - equally rewarding as living

area, enormous bedroom, or even a future

kitchen and dining... and with the best views

of the property to top off the experience.

Outside, a massive back yard sprawls gently

down the hill, with the upper portion easily

made level to accommodate a pool or formal

landscaping and living. For families, this

space is invaluable, including 2 small sheds

that can be used as play houses if desired.

Fruit trees and established planting also

complement the ample size of the section.

Other features of the house include a log

burner in the living area, storage under the

house, new pathways and driveway, and 3

toilets in total. Exposed timber beams add

character to the living spaces, with rimu

floors upstairs adding warmth, along with

new carpets throughout and an additional

heat pump.

Open Home: Wednesdays, Saturdays and

Sundays 11.30am – 12.15pm.
