has been realigned through the
college.
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
drainage manager Tim Joyce
said.
“We hope that they can embrace
the value of a flourishing
environment that benefits the
greater community,” he said.

the group members their first
hands-on opportunity to action
one of their goals – to improve
the plantings already on Bells

OPPONENTS OF the Rawhiti
and Avondale golf clubs land
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
• By Sophie Cornish
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

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

The restaurant would also feature a Mc-

views matter and are taken into account.”
Said Regenerate chief executive Ivan

Safety to be addressed by
removing Westhaven trees
• By Sophie Cornish
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
have voiced their support for the
proposed Linwood-Woolston Pool site in
Smith St.
They even delivered their submissions
directly to local community board members.

A RARE white heron has made a
surprise visit to ponds near Bottle
Lake Forest.
The bird, which is endangered
and one of a population of about
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.
“We want the children to come to the

their case for the new pool site, underlining
its importance for the area,” she said.

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.”

QE II school rezoning angers parents

talks about
how several
suburbs may be
left out of the
potential new

Avonside Girls’ High School
zone
THE REZONING of Shirley
Boys and Avonside Girls’ High
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.

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.

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

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.
Miss Lamb said the group had

“It’s given me a reason to get to

A lot of people don’t necessarily
like going to the beach that early
in the morning, but I think it’s

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

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.

of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers

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.

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

moisture so they don’t circulate around

Moisture in your home can cause mould

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

Smooth-Air can also help with other

Lifelong Learning is not just about older

I sit in my office and listen to a group

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

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.

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

Ultimate campus
taking shape at QEII
Park

advertising feature
Construction of the new state-of-the-art campus for Avonside
Girls’ and Shirley Boys’ High Schools is progressing
rapidly with opening on track for next year.
The new campus will feature a Performing Arts Centre
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.”

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

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

Our values matter. Those values
are seen in the relationships our

It’s how we treat our students
that sets Hagley apart, valuing them

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

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

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

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

St Michael’s
Is your child one of 15 or 50? Is their classroom
a calm, productive learning space or
is the noise and movement unceasing? How
much of the teacher’s attention does your
child actually receive?
At St Michael’s, our small co-ed classes and
specialist teachers ensure your child is an
individual, well known by staff and fellow
pupils alike. For at the heart of St Michael’s
are the essential values of Christian faith and
good citizenship: respect, integrity, faith,
hope and love.
St Michael’s is a prep school so your child
is assured of a traditional foundation in English
and Mathematics. This academic rigour
then underpins our wider curriculums in
Science, History, Geography and Spanish. IT
literacy is taught, not assumed, and computer
use is measured. We like teaching and
talking to our pupils!
Cultural and sports’ programmes develop
your child’s foundation further, as creativity
and problem-solving come in many forms.
Specialist art and music classes are enjoyed
weekly; and most pupils play at least one
instrument, whether piano or flute, bassoon
or bongos. There are two choirs, and drama
lessons.
And our extended campus is spectacular:
today, the Art Gallery; tomorrow, the Gardens;
next week…
St Michael’s has been nurturing and educating
children for over 165 years, and our
pupils come from city-wide, arriving via
the bus exchange only a block away or with
parents who work in the thriving centre.
You and your child are warmly welcome
to discover for yourselves our purposeful,

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.
