Students lived “under a canvas”<br />

was an “experience” for students<br />
who had never lived without<br />

Work to<br />
bring<br />
Papanui<br />
Bush back<br />
to life<br />
starts<br />
next week<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
THE FIRST step in reinstating<br />
the historic Papanui Bush is<br />
about to start.<br />
A planting day at Bridgestone<br />
Reserve on Langdons Rd has<br />
been planned by the Papanui-<br />
Innes Community Board for<br />
<strong>April</strong> 27.<br />
About 150 volunteers have<br />
been rallied to plant more than<br />
1500 native trees in a bid to<br />
rejuvenate the bush.<br />
Groups involved in the<br />
planting will include Papanui<br />
High School, Papanui Primary<br />
School, the Rotary Club of<br />
Papanui, local churches and<br />
community groups from across<br />
the area.<br />
“It’s going to be excellent, it’s<br />
a really historic moment, 167<br />
years,” said community board<br />
member John Stringer.<br />
The bush took up 36ha<br />
of land in 1850, which is now<br />
Papanui High School and<br />
Vagues Rd.<br />

Signs of trouble for Keown<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
CITY COUNCILLOR Aaron<br />
Keown has been rapped over<br />
the knuckles for putting notices<br />
on poles holding compulsory<br />
stop signs.<br />
Cr Keown put the notices up<br />
at the Harewood, Breens and<br />
Gardiners Rds<br />
intersection,<br />
encouraging<br />
residents to<br />
submit on the<br />
city council’s<br />
Long Term Plan<br />
in favour of<br />
upgrading the<br />
Aaron<br />
Keown<br />
intersection to<br />
lights.<br />
He put the<br />
notices at the bottom of the<br />
stop signs, and the city council<br />
removed them.<br />
A New Zealand Transport<br />
Agency spokesperson said<br />
placing items on stop signs was<br />
“not helpful” as they distracted<br />
drivers who may read the notice<br />
instead of paying attention to<br />
the stop sign.<br />
“You are not legally allowed to<br />
add other signs onto road safety<br />
signs or poles for the same<br />
reason.”<br />
A city council spokeswoman<br />
said a member of the roading<br />
GOOD TRY: The city council removed this jet ski<br />
advertisement (right) from the intersection of Harewood,<br />
Breens and Gardiners Rds after Aaron Keown’s signs were<br />
taken down.<br />
team took the notices down.<br />
But Cr Keown told Nor’West<br />
<strong>News</strong> he still did not consider<br />
it a safety issue, saying it was a<br />
“long bow” to draw.<br />
“In no way could they be<br />
distracting, in fact you’re more<br />
likely to slow down and stop for<br />
a few seconds to read them.”<br />
“There’s actually another sign<br />
up at the intersection that’s<br />
covering part of a stop sign,<br />
advertising jet skis,” he said.<br />
The jet ski advertisement has<br />
now been removed. The spokeswoman<br />
said the reason that sign<br />

hadn’t been taken down was<br />
because the city council didn’t<br />
know about it.<br />
“We simply didn’t know about<br />
it, now we know we’ll take it<br />
down,” she said.<br />
The base of Cr Keown’s<br />
re-election campaign was to<br />
get the Harewood intersection<br />
upgraded to lights.<br />
He has lobbied hard for the<br />
signals – from hosting a community<br />
meeting at the corner,<br />
to offering $100 to anyone who<br />
could name an intersection<br />
in the city without lights that<br />
crossed as many lanes as Harewood,<br />
Gardiners and Breens<br />
Rds.<br />
“I’m trying to get people to<br />
engage with council. Public<br />
notices go up on a site, whether<br />
it be road works or a new bottle<br />
store . . . it’s the same,” he said.<br />
Last year city councillors<br />
voted down including the intersection<br />
in the LTP.<br />

McMaster & Heap<br />
Veterinary practice<br />
A week of<br />
orthopedics pAtients<br />
Last week was a busy<br />
orthopedic week at<br />
the clinic. I love an<br />
orthopedic challenge<br />
and as a young<br />
veterinarian I would<br />
have loved to have<br />
studied and specialized<br />
in orthopedic surgery.<br />
Steve and I went to<br />
the UK early on in<br />
our careers and Steve<br />
studied Ophthalmology.<br />
I didn’t think seriously<br />
about doing a surgical<br />
residency back then<br />
as Steve and I were<br />
desperate to get home<br />
to our two dogs, Chief<br />
and Tobias. Thinking<br />
back it would have been<br />
valuable for our Practice,<br />
considering how fast we<br />
have grown and how many surgical cases<br />
we see. I know my limitations and often<br />
we need to refer these cases to orthopedic<br />
specialists for the best outcome, as long as<br />
our client can financially afford this option.<br />
First up was Pluto, an adorable 5 month<br />
old grey<br />
tabby who<br />
suddenly<br />
came<br />
home lame<br />
on his right hind leg. No injuries, bruising or<br />
swellings were noted, although his stifle felt<br />
odd. Pluto was given an anti inflammatory<br />
injection and sent home on room rest. He<br />
returned a few days later having shown no<br />
improvement so I radiographed his pelvis<br />
and right hind leg. What I saw took me by<br />
surprise. Pluto had<br />
completely fractured<br />
his patella (knee cap)<br />
in half! I tried to splint<br />
the leg but cheeky<br />
little Pluto got that<br />
off in no time. He<br />
was cage rested for<br />
1 week and then<br />
rexrayed. As you<br />
can see the gap has<br />
widened between<br />
the patella fragments.<br />
Currently Im seeking<br />
Pluto<br />
Baghera<br />
advice from a referral surgeon as to what is<br />
the best approach for little Pluto.<br />
Baxter is the cutest, calmest 6 month<br />
old Beagle who presented to me initially<br />
4 weeks ago just sore and stiff in his<br />
hindquarters. He had leapt out of the car<br />
and yelped and cowered, as if he had<br />

pain somewhere. On<br />
examination his left<br />
hind leg had limited<br />
movement. Baxter was<br />
otherwise well, had been<br />
fed a premium puppy<br />
kibble but I was slightly<br />
worried that Baxter may<br />
have a degree of hip<br />
dysplasia. When Baxter<br />
was neutered I xrayed<br />
his hips. I noticed a left<br />
sided femoral neck stress<br />
fracture. We have strictly<br />
rested Baxter and the<br />
rexray taken one month<br />
later showed the fracture<br />
was slowly healing. Luckily<br />
this will come right with<br />
time, premium nutrition<br />
Baxter and taking it easy on the<br />
exercise front.<br />
Baghera, a 6 year old<br />
black DSH, was bought in by the SPCA<br />
one weekend after being found on the<br />
road, unable to move. Luckily he was<br />
microchipped so we found his very worried<br />
owner that day. He came in very cold, in<br />
shock and not able to stand at all. We<br />
immediately placed Baghera on intravenous<br />
fluid, warmed him up with hotties and a<br />
heating pad, administered pain relief and<br />
xrayed his hindquarters. He had suffered 2<br />
pelvic fractures – an acetabular fracture to<br />
the left hip and a sacroiliac<br />
fracture to the right side.<br />
Both these prevented him<br />
from standing, therefore<br />
he couldn’t use his litter<br />
tray. He was hospitalized<br />
for a few days to make sure<br />
he had bladder function<br />
and to stabilize his<br />
condition. All the surgical<br />
options were discussed ( one being referral)<br />
with his loving owner and it was decided<br />
that we do surgery at the clinic, performed<br />
by Dr Steve Heap. So far Baghera is home,<br />
mobilizing, tioleting and doing well. Thank<br />
goodness for microchips!<br />
As you can see we often need to consult the<br />
specialists for the best<br />
option and outcome<br />
for our patients. We<br />
have digital xray so<br />
can easily email the<br />
images to the referral<br />
veterinarian and<br />
we will often get a<br />
report back in a few<br />
days. Steve and I are<br />
in the early stages<br />
of building a large<br />
new addition that<br />
will join our existing Practice ( we are just<br />
waiting for council consents). We are very<br />
excited as this will allow us to offer more<br />
services to our clients and to employ more<br />
vets with specialized skills in particular areas,<br />
and a specialized soft tissue and orthopedic<br />
surgeon will be on that list.<br />

Work to bring Papanui Bush<br />
back to life starts next week<br />
•From page 1<br />
During this time, most trees<br />
were felled over a period of five to<br />
six years.<br />
The project will be split into<br />
two phases with two planting<br />
areas at the north and south ends<br />
of the reserve. The city council<br />
has offered $11,000 for the first<br />
phase of the project.<br />
At its meeting on Friday,<br />
the board approved $7000 for<br />
another planting day on June 5.<br />
Deputy chairwoman Emma<br />
Norrish said this would come<br />
from its discretionary response<br />
fund.<br />
Once complete, it will make the<br />
reserve the second native bush<br />
in the city, along with Riccarton<br />
Bush.<br />
The trees may be sourced from<br />
Trees for Canterbury and the<br />
Wai-ora Trust, and may include<br />
totara and kowhai.<br />
City council ecologist Antony<br />
Shadbolt said some parts of the<br />
reserve are suitable for smaller<br />
areas of native forest planting.<br />
“While these areas pale in<br />
comparison with the original<br />
Papanui Bush, they nevertheless<br />
provide significant sections of<br />
native forest within the urban<br />
area, and function as part of a<br />

much wider bush network across<br />
both the city and the Canterbury<br />
Plains,” Dr Shadbolt said.<br />
“The new plantings will play<br />
an important role in improving<br />
the ecological functionality of<br />
the city, assist in the return of<br />
bush birds, and provide a unique<br />
opportunity for the community<br />
to be involved in the creation<br />
of a much treasured natural<br />
environment.”<br />

“Avebury House knows how<br />

Former champ hooks up with Parker<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
VALLEY INN Tavern owner<br />
Dean Calvert got closer<br />
than most to Joseph Parker<br />
in the build up to his world<br />
heavyweight title unification<br />
fight with Anthony Joshua in<br />
Cardiff, Wales.<br />
The former New Zealand titleholder<br />
travelled with his father<br />
George and brother Bryce to<br />
London ahead of the fight where<br />
they spent time with Parker in<br />
the build up.<br />
Mr Calvert, 47, comes from a<br />
boxing mad family.<br />
Their love for the sport has<br />
seen them travel to a number<br />
of high profile fights around<br />
the world, including the Floyd<br />
Mayweather Jr v Manny<br />
Pacquiao fight in Las Vegas in<br />
2015.<br />
However, the world title fight<br />
between Parker and Joshua on<br />
Easter Sunday was unlike any<br />
the family had travelled to see<br />
before. They were made to feel<br />
like part of the Parker family in<br />
the build up to his biggest fight<br />
to date.<br />
Mr Calvert’s main connection<br />
to the Parker camp comes<br />
through Parker’s trainer Kevin<br />
Barry, who also trained Mr<br />
Calvert in the early 1990s.<br />
“We got made to feel like part<br />
of the family. His mum would<br />
come down to breakfast every<br />
morning and say hello and give<br />
us a hug and a kiss,” said Mr<br />
Calvert.<br />
“We were lucky enough to<br />
be invited on his team walk<br />
the morning of the fight. It’s<br />
something he does the morning<br />
of his fights; just goes for a 15min<br />
walk to relax.”<br />
Mr Calvert won four New<br />
Zealand titles in his career as a<br />
welterweight. He also won the<br />
Jameson Belt in 1992. The belt is<br />
awarded to the best boxer at the<br />
national championships each<br />
year.<br />
Mr Calvert’s first boxing<br />
trainer was his grandfather<br />
FAMILY: Dean Calvert, Joseph Parker, Bryce Calvert and<br />
George Calvert in the UK.<br />
Ryan Mitchell. This was before<br />
he worked with Barry who was<br />
training David Tua at the same<br />
time.<br />
Mr Calvert had 70 amateur<br />
fights before going on to register<br />
a professional record of eight<br />
wins from eight fights. He took<br />
what was originally set to be<br />
a short break from fighting at<br />
24. However, Mr Calvert never<br />
returned to training.<br />
“I do regret it sometimes, but<br />
then I’ve had a lot of other great<br />
memories since doing other<br />
things.”<br />
After boxing, Mr Calvert<br />
worked for his family cleaning<br />
business for <strong>17</strong> years before<br />
buying the Valley Inn Tavern in<br />
2004.<br />
“I like the social side. It’s a<br />
good place to catch up with<br />
friends and the locals.”<br />
Although Mr Calvert was<br />
lucky enough to be at Cardiff’s<br />
Millennium Stadium 10 rows<br />
back from the action, he says the<br />
Valley Inn Tavern is as good a<br />
place as any to watch the fight.<br />
“We were chock-a-block for the<br />
Parker fight. We had a couple of<br />
hundred people here, every time<br />
he’s fought it’s been like that.”<br />
Outside of boxing, the tavern<br />
owner managed to find time for<br />
some business research.<br />
“We organised a good pub<br />
crawl one day.”<br />
“I bought a few menus to have<br />
a good look at. We’ve got a few<br />
more vegans asking for meals at<br />
the moment so the main thing<br />
I looked at was a few different<br />
options for that.”<br />
As for the future of his<br />
favourite boxer, Mr Calvert<br />
believes at just 26, Parker has<br />
the determination to bounce<br />
back.<br />
“He was talking to us on the<br />
plane on the way home and<br />
he’s just determined to get<br />
back in there and get back to<br />
the top.”<br />

QE II school rezoning angers parents<br />
Shirley resident<br />
Verity Verster<br />
talks about<br />
how several<br />
suburbs may be<br />
left out of the<br />
potential new<br />
Shirley Boys and<br />
Avonside Girls’ High School<br />
zone<br />
THE RE-ZONING of Shirley<br />
Boys and Avonside Girls’ High<br />
School has left local residents<br />
feeling robbed.<br />
Families remained in the area,<br />
decided to rebuild their homes<br />
with the prospect of being able<br />
to send their children to either<br />
high school. The re-zoning has<br />
excluded the current community<br />
of Richmond, Dallington, Shirley<br />
and Edgeware, leaving residents<br />
frustrated, angry, abandoned and<br />
robbed.<br />
This community remained in<br />
the area for the schools. When<br />
the schools were facing closure<br />
– we fought alongside them to<br />
remain open. When the schools<br />
announced that they would<br />
•From page 1<br />
During the overnight camp, the girls<br />
listened to guest speakers, EGG cofounders<br />
Lucy Tothill and Gussie Cohen,<br />
who are St Margaret’s old girls. They have<br />
had first-hand experiences in countries<br />
such as Malawi, Tajikistan and Somalia.<br />
The EGG charity was recently granted<br />
charitable trust status.<br />
Head girl Jemima Vaughan said it was<br />
“super exciting” to see girls getting involved<br />
and supporting the school charity.<br />
“It gives them some perspective of<br />
worldwide issues and sits really well with<br />
our school theme for the year, ‘everyday<br />
superstars’, which is centred around<br />
service and kindness.”<br />
NEW SCHOOLS: Several suburbs may no longer be in the<br />
zone for the new Shirley Boys and Avonside Girls’ High School<br />
campus being built at QE II Park.<br />
remain open but would need to<br />
relocate, we were assured that<br />
we would be zoned for the new<br />
schools. We were given assurances<br />
that we could send our<br />
children to a single sex high<br />
school.<br />
Based on those assurances,<br />
many families decided to rebuild<br />
their broken and damaged homes<br />
and primary school children<br />
continued to attend broken and<br />
damaged primary schools. The<br />
promise made to them was the<br />
opportunity to attend a state-ofthe-art<br />
campus, steeped in tradition<br />
with a reputation second to<br />
none. My boys would be SBHS<br />
graduates. There was a silver<br />
lining.<br />
This is why we are so angry.<br />
Why we are here today. Comments<br />
have been made that we<br />
have a local high school close by;<br />
the re-zoned area doesn’t have a<br />
school and needs one; we argued<br />
against the inclusion of a further<br />
area yet want to be included<br />
ourselves etc.<br />
This argument is not about<br />
what we have v what other<br />
areas don’t have. It is not a them<br />
against us and vice versa argument.<br />
The bottom line – the<br />
Ministry of Education made<br />
assurances that affected the<br />
decisions local residents made.<br />
Big decisions. Life changing decisions.<br />
The MOE has gone back on<br />
those assurances and cut us out<br />
completely. Any resident anywhere<br />
in Christchurch faced with<br />
this realisation would be angry.<br />
Would be frustrated. Would feel<br />
robbed.<br />
Furthermore, although the<br />
school and the MOE have<br />
been in communication for 18<br />
months regarding ‘re-zoning’,<br />
the local residents have only been<br />
informed now and given three<br />
weeks to rally together and fight<br />
for inclusion. The culpability<br />
lies at the door of the MOE yet<br />
it is no where to be seen – no<br />
representatives, no one to answer<br />
the questions that residents need<br />
answers to.<br />

Beach-goers highlight mental health<br />
SPORTS<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
SALTWATER therapy, surfing<br />
and fluro is the ‘recipe’ a New<br />
Brighton community group is<br />
using to tackle mental health<br />
issues.<br />
Rosie Lamb, along with two<br />
friends, founded OneWave New<br />
Brighton, which just celebrated<br />
its first birthday.<br />
The group is one of several<br />
worldwide which originally<br />
started at Bondi Beach in<br />
Sydney, with the goal of<br />
getting people together to raise<br />
awareness about mental health<br />
through surfing, swimming,<br />
yoga and other beach activities,<br />
all while wearing fluro.<br />
The group now has offshoots<br />
spanning 80 beaches in 26<br />
countries.<br />
Miss Lamb said the group,<br />
which is made up of males and<br />
females across all ages, meet at<br />
the New Brighton beach on the<br />
first Saturday of every month at<br />
8am.<br />
“I think the beach has such a<br />
massive impact on well-being.<br />
We either surf, swim, go for<br />
walks or just sit and chat. We<br />
check in with each other to see<br />
how everyone’s doing. It’s about<br />
normalising talking about how<br />
you are feeling.”<br />
TOGETHER: OneWave New Brighton is tackling mental health through saltwater therapy, surfing and fluro clothing.<br />
Miss Lamb said while the<br />
group doesn’t offer surfing<br />
lessons, there are other activities<br />
for those who don’t surf.<br />
So why fluro?<br />
“It’s about making yourself<br />
seen. It welcomes other people to<br />
approach us and to come along.<br />
It’s seen as a way to put yourself<br />
out there.”<br />
OneWave founder Grant<br />
Trebilco originally got people<br />
talking to him on the beach<br />
by wearing a suit and going<br />
out surfing. People would then<br />
approach him out of curiosity.<br />
Miss Lamb said the group had<br />
greatly helped her.<br />
“It’s given me a reason to get to<br />
the beach early in the morning. A<br />
lot of people don’t necessarily like<br />
going to the beach that early in<br />
the morning, but I think it’s the<br />
perfect way to start your day.”<br />
“It gives me a good group of<br />
people to talk about stuff with.”<br />

Golf club merger plan fails to tee off<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
Local<br />
<strong>News</strong><br />
Now<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
OPPONENTS OF the Rawhiti<br />
and Avondale golf clubs land<br />
swap plan are relieved it won’t go<br />
ahead.<br />
Regenerate Christchurch has<br />
axed relocating the two golf<br />
clubs to a combined course in<br />
Bexley.<br />
The decision comes after<br />
widespread opposition. Those<br />
against the plan<br />
feared Rawhiti<br />
Domain and<br />
the golf course<br />
would be<br />
turned into<br />
housing.<br />
It sparked<br />
a community<br />
Ivan Iafeta<br />
meeting, which<br />
more than 100<br />
people attended to express their<br />
concerns.<br />
Guardians of Rawhiti cofounder<br />
Cathy Baker said the<br />
group was relieved with the<br />
outcome after previously saying<br />
it “opposed the idea vehemently.”<br />
“I think a lot of people in New<br />
Brighton . . . opposed it.”<br />
Rawhiti Golf Club president<br />
Leon Zilinskas said the club<br />
had no definite opinion on the<br />
matter.<br />
“We were still waiting to see<br />
how everything rolled with<br />
it. We were still open-minded<br />
RELIEVED: Ruthie Emeny (left) and Cathy Baker from the Guardians of Rawhiti are relieved to<br />
hear the land swap idea proposed by Regenerate Christchurch, which would see some of domain<br />
lost to housing, has been axed.<br />
about it all and happy to stay<br />
where we are.”<br />
However, Mr Zilinskas said<br />
personally he was disappointed.<br />
“I thought it was a great opportunity<br />
to get brand new facilities<br />
for our club but also, in my view,<br />
I think the whole suburb needs a<br />
bit of operation to come back.”<br />
Avondale Golf Club president<br />
Dave Buchanan has said<br />
previously the club was divided<br />
over the merger. He didn’t want<br />
to comment on the decision to<br />
not go ahead with the plan.<br />
Coastal Ward city councillor<br />
Glenn Livingstone is pleased<br />
Regenerate Christchurch had listened<br />
to opponents of the plan.<br />
“This is an encouraging sign<br />
for the future development of<br />
the red zone; that the local host<br />
community’s<br />
views matter and are taken into<br />
account.”<br />
Said Regenerate chief<br />
executive Ivan Iafeta: “The same<br />
land could be used in other<br />
ways that would provide greater<br />
overall outcomes consistent<br />
with the vision, objectives and<br />
land use assessment criteria.”<br />
Mr Iafeta said housing may still<br />
be included in the plan for the<br />
Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor<br />
regeneration area.<br />
SPOTTED: A rare white heron<br />
at Bottle Lake Forest.<br />
Rare heron at<br />
Bottle Lake<br />
A RARE white heron has made a<br />
surprise visit to ponds near Bottle<br />
Lake Forest.<br />
The bird, which is endangered<br />
and one of a population of about<br />
150 around New Zealand, has<br />
been spotted in the area by city<br />
council park ranger Jason Roberts.<br />
City council ornithologist Andrew<br />
Crossland says it’s the first<br />
time he has heard of a white heron<br />
visiting the ponds.<br />
Work that has been carried<br />
out by city council rangers in recent<br />
years to create wetland habitats<br />
and attract native birds seems<br />
to have been effective, he says.<br />
“It’s a bit of a coup to get an<br />
iconic native bird like this one in<br />
the area.’’<br />
Mr Crossland says the heron is<br />
an adult in non-breeding plumage<br />
and is likely to have come here<br />
from breeding grounds on the<br />
West Coast to feed.<br />

Papanui 15-year-old<br />
seeks scholarship at<br />
Cambridge University<br />
THE PRESTIGIOUS Cambridge<br />
University in the United<br />
Kingdom may be the next stop<br />
for Papanui’s Jessica Villegas.<br />
But at 15, the Christchurch<br />
Adventist School student is<br />
younger than most people who<br />
apply for a scholarship at <strong>17</strong>.<br />
But Jessica has a secret<br />
weapon. She already has two<br />
Canterbury University papers<br />
under her belt which she thinks<br />
will help her secure the spot at<br />
Cambridge studying medicine<br />
or engineering.<br />
“I want to achieve a lot of<br />
things after school,” Jessica said.<br />
“I don’t want to stop at medicine<br />
or engineering, I want to keep<br />
learning.”<br />
In year 10, Jessica had finished<br />
year 13 maths classes with the<br />
help of the Papanui Kumon<br />
classes.<br />
“I have Kumon to thank for<br />
finishing year 13 maths early,<br />
and it’s helped me become more<br />
interested in pursuing engineering<br />
or medicine,” she said.<br />
She began studying with<br />
Kumon before moving to New<br />
Zealand from the Philippines.<br />
Jessica’s mother Luannie<br />
Villegas said the classes helped<br />
Jessica and her siblings Justine<br />
and Jasmine when they arrived<br />
in their new country.<br />
SCHOLAR: Jessica Villegas,<br />
15, has applied for a<br />
scholarship to study at<br />
Cambridge University.<br />
“My kids were initially shy but<br />
Kumon helped them gain more<br />
confidence,” she said.<br />
“I think it also helped them<br />
adjust to life in New Zealand.”<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
1 in 2 people<br />
deficient in B12<br />
Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults<br />
& as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.<br />
Scientists at Rush University Medical Center found those most<br />
deficient in vitamin B12 to have the smallest brain mass & the lowest<br />
scores on tests measuring short-term memory, concentration &<br />
brain performance. Another study showed that older people with<br />
higher levels of B12 in their blood have bigger, healthier brains &<br />
score higher on cognitive tests than those with lower levels. Yet<br />
another recent landmark study showed that B12 supplementation<br />
slows the accelerated rate of brain shrinkage & declining cognitive<br />
function. B12 is essential for energy production, cell health,<br />
regulation of mood & sleep cycles, nerve health & repair, &<br />
prevention of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor<br />
that is known to cause damage & plaque in the blood vessels. It can<br />
also increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard researchers found a<br />
34% decrease risk of vision loss in a study of participants aged 40+<br />
who supplemented with B12. Another study linked a higher risk<br />
of hearing loss in subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.<br />
The reason so many people lack B12 appears to be our body’s<br />
ability to absorb it declining with age as the digestive system<br />
becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux medication & other drugs<br />
further reduce B12 absorption. The<br />

From small beginnings in 1999<br />
where monthly clinics were held in the<br />
Christchurch Hearing Association in<br />
Beveridge Street the service expanded<br />
rapidly as clients discovered and<br />
appreciated the benefits of micro suction<br />
technology.<br />
Twelve months later clinics had<br />
increased to 5 days a week and with the<br />
help of more trained Registered nurses<br />
and Reception staff clinics opened in<br />
Rangiora, Ashburton Timaru Temuka<br />
and Waimate.<br />
In 2004 the clinic moved with the<br />
Hearing Association to larger premises<br />
at 275 Riccarton Road. They remain<br />
there today offering a Monday to<br />
Saturday service and a popular and busy<br />
mobile service to Retirement Villages,<br />

Marian wins public<br />
speaking contest<br />
MARIAN COLLEGE is “buzzing” after<br />
proving itself to be the best Catholic<br />
school in the Canterbury Catholic Diocese<br />
for public speaking, said principal Mary-<br />
Lou Davidson.<br />
The school finished first overall out of<br />
seven schools in the Bishop Lyons’ Shield<br />
competition held at Villa Maria College.<br />
The team of 10 won the debating and<br />
senior speech sections, were first equal in<br />
scripture reading and junior speech, and<br />
third equal in religious questions.<br />
Mrs Davidson said the event was highly<br />
anticipated and celebrated the spirit of<br />
competition and camaraderie between<br />
participating schools.<br />
“The result was an amazing effort by<br />
the whole team. The Marian community<br />
is buzzing with news of the win, we have<br />
had past students and parents contact us<br />
to congratulate the girls. All the hard work<br />
that was put in leading up to the competition<br />
from both students and coaches has<br />
paid off.”<br />
The competition was established by<br />
Bishop Lyons in 1947 when he was bishop<br />
of Christchurch.<br />
Mrs Davidson said it was the second<br />
year this particular Marian College debating<br />
team had won its event.<br />
“Some of the team had older sisters who<br />
had competed and won in past Bishop<br />
Lyons’ Shield events, so it is lovely to see<br />
family traditions continuing,” she said.<br />
This year the scripture reading event<br />
was held in Te Reo Māori for the first<br />
time. Students read a scripture passage<br />
in Te Reo as well as answered questions<br />
about what the passage means and how it<br />
applies to young people today.<br />
Year 12 student Ngahiraka Dallas was<br />
awarded first equal in scripture reading<br />
with a St Bede’s College student.<br />
This is the fourth year Marian College<br />
has won the shield. It previously won it in<br />
1995, 2009 and 2015.<br />

Choosing the<br />
right heat pump<br />
for your home<br />
Whether it be a new build, or<br />
a retrofit, most homes include<br />
at least one heat pump, if not a<br />
whole heating solution. They can<br />
provide cheap, clean heat and are<br />
much more convenient than a log<br />
burner as you just need to press<br />
a button. But how do you decide<br />
what is best? Choosing the right<br />
sized heat pump is key to ensuring<br />
optimum comfort levels. Every<br />
situation varies and it is therefore<br />
important to get professional<br />
advice from heat pump experts.<br />
The range varies from wall mounted high<br />
walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,<br />
ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted<br />
central heating systems allowing you to have a<br />
very discreet way of heating your whole home<br />
to a constant temperature throughout.<br />
Firstly, you must select a heat pump that<br />
is suitable for the size of the space you wish<br />
to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to<br />
ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area<br />
taken into consideration but also, insulation,<br />
building orientation, windows and ceiling<br />
space. There are a wide range of heat pumps<br />
available with different heating outputs so it is<br />
important to select<br />
the correct size for<br />
Heating is a major<br />
investment in your home<br />
and it is vital to get the<br />
right advice.<br />
your requirements<br />
that will handle<br />
the job but not<br />
be unnecessarily<br />
overpowered.<br />
Secondly, the<br />
location of your<br />
heat pump is also extremely important. The<br />
cheapest installation is a back to back where<br />
the outdoor unit is positioned directly behind<br />
the indoor unit however this is not necessarily<br />
always the best option. It is vital that the indoor<br />
unit is positioned in a place that will not be<br />
constantly blowing on you. Also important, is<br />
the location of the outdoor unit. Most people<br />
do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly<br />
in their outdoor entertaining area or right<br />
outside their bedroom window.<br />
Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands<br />
have come and gone over the years but there<br />
are a number of manufacturers who provide<br />
reputable and reliable products. All brands vary<br />
in their energy efficiency, quietness of systems<br />
and price, so it depends on your application as<br />
to which will be most suitable. Major brands<br />
such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin,<br />
Toshiba and Hitachi are all reliable brands<br />
backed up by good technical after sales service.<br />
Ensure your heat pump is installed by an<br />
accredited installer. This will not only ensure<br />
correct installation of your heat pump, but also<br />
validate the manufacturers warranty.<br />
Other things to consider when choosing a<br />
heat pump are time<br />
clocks, ease of use of<br />
the remote controllers,<br />
air filtration and also<br />
wifi capabilities.<br />
Heating is a major<br />
investment in your<br />
home and it is vital to<br />
get the right advice.<br />
Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,<br />
installation and servicing of all major brands<br />

Whether it plain sucks, or whether it<br />
doesn’t suck enough, or even if it is a noisy<br />
sucker - Smooth-Air can help.<br />
Smooth-Air can either improve your<br />
current Range Hood, or custom build to<br />
your specifications.<br />
“We can take your attractive but noisy,<br />
underperforming range hood and retrofit<br />
it with one of our whisper quiet remote<br />
extraction fans.” says Richard Jack, Regional<br />
Manager of Smooth-Air, “We have fans<br />
which can sit in the ceiling space, or outside<br />
on your wall or roof to make it extra quiet.”<br />
In-house testing showed a difference of<br />
20dbA (decibels) between a remote fan<br />
from Smooth-Air and a common in-hood<br />
fan range hood. This corresponds to a<br />
quadrupling in perceived noise level.<br />
Range Hood conversions include removal<br />
of existing fan and rewiring for<br />
new remote fan. Your local sparky<br />
can easily carry out installation of<br />
the new fan.<br />
For kitchens not suited to a<br />
standard range hood, Smooth-Air<br />
can manufacture and powdercoat<br />
a bespoke range hood to match<br />
your décor. Custom built range<br />
hoods have the benefit of being<br />
designed specifically for your<br />
As well as being whisper quiet,<br />

powerful - sucking out cooking smells and<br />
moisture so they don’t circulate around<br />
your home.<br />
Moisture in your home can cause mould<br />
and mildew on your walls and furnishings.<br />
It is also bad for the health of the occupants.<br />
Household cooking is a major source of<br />
internal moisture, therefore an effective<br />
kitchen extraction system can make a<br />
significant difference to internal moisture<br />
levels.<br />
Smooth-Air can also help with other<br />
forms of ventilation, such as bathroom<br />
extraction, condensation reduction or<br />
whole house ventilation.<br />
Contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH<br />
(0800 766 684) to ask how they can help<br />
you with your kitchen extraction, as well<br />
as any other ventilation requirements.<br />

helps it happen<br />
Lifelong Learning is not just about older<br />
people learning. It is about good discussion,<br />
taking risks and accepting new challenges<br />
and opening your mind to new ideas. At any<br />
age.<br />
I sit in my office and listen to a group<br />
discussing a wide range of issues in the next<br />
room. Some of their viewpoints I agree with<br />
and some I don’t and I can tell that they do<br />
not all agree with each other. So they discuss<br />
intently then they laugh and have lunch<br />
together. They continue to sort out the world<br />
and issues as far apart as Use of Technology,<br />
Autonomous vehicles, Importance of Art,<br />
Relevance of religion, Veganism, City<br />
transport, Competition in sport, The moral<br />
maze etc.<br />

Ultimate campus<br />
taking shape at QEII<br />
Park<br />
Sue and John.<br />
advertising feature<br />
Construction of the new state-of-the-art campus for Avonside<br />
Girls’ and Shirley Boys’ High Schools is progressing<br />
rapidly with opening on track for next year.<br />
The new campus will feature a Performing Arts Centre<br />
with a 750-seat theatre and a 200-seat theatre, a hockey turf,<br />
four sports fields, three indoor gymnasiums, a café, and a<br />
large library and learning centre.<br />
Both Avonside Girls’ Principal Sue Hume and Shirley Boys’<br />
High School Headmaster John Laurenson are excited by the<br />
progress.<br />
“There are now more than 100 workers on site – that will<br />
peak to more than 300 in coming months. The steel framing<br />
is up and the concrete slabs are down and we can see now<br />
just how big this campus will be – it’s simply wonderful,” says<br />
John Laurenson.<br />
“You can finally see all that we have been talking about and<br />
dreaming about taking shape. We will be onsite with our<br />
students, staff and community making the most of all of the<br />
fantastic new facilities before we know it.”<br />
The campus is due to open in Term Two of 2019. It will be<br />
the first time in New Zealand’s history that two single sex<br />
schools will be co-located.<br />
John Laurenson says the co-location will enable the schools<br />
to offer students more.<br />
“Because we’re building together, we’ve been able to build<br />
bigger and better facilities.”<br />
Sue Hume says the co-location will also enable better educational<br />
opportunities.<br />
“We’ll collaborate on teaching some senior subjects, so we<br />
can offer students wider choice and there’s also the opportunity<br />
to work together on co-curricular opportunities – such<br />
as productions, sports competitions and the like.”<br />
Both principals are keen to point out that the co-location is<br />
not a merger.<br />
“We’ll still be Shirley and they’ll still be Avonside. We’ll<br />
work together, but both schools will retain their own culture,<br />
identity, staff and uniform. This is not a co-ed school,” says<br />
John Laurenson.<br />
“Research shows that single sex education benefits both<br />
boys and girls,” says Sue Hume. “Boys perform better academically<br />
and girls participate more. This new campus, has<br />
been designed so that students will still spend most of their<br />
time in a single sex environment.”<br />
Both Sue and John say the campus will be an asset the east<br />
of Christchurch will be proud of.<br />
“We’ll be right alongside the new QE2 Sport and Recreation<br />
Centre, the School of Gymnastics and have a satellite<br />
unit for Ferndale School onsite. It’s going to be a great place<br />
to learn.”<br />

To live by faith<br />
Catholic Cathedral College is first and<br />
foremost a Catholic school and for 150 years<br />
Catholic children of Christchurch have been<br />
educated on this site. We aim to produce<br />
graduates who are confident, compassionate,<br />
connected citizens, willing to make a positive<br />
contribution to our society with a focus on<br />
faith, justice and equity.<br />
As the only co-ed Catholic College in<br />
Christchurch, with a vibrant mix of ethnicities,<br />
we offer excellent preparation for life.<br />
We have a strong focus on our bicultural<br />
heritage and all students from Year 7 to 9<br />
learn Te Reo Maori.<br />
We encourage our students to strive for<br />
excellence and have had sustained excellent<br />
academic results over recent years for all students,<br />
including Maori and Pasifika students,<br />
across all three levels of NCEA.<br />
Our Vocational Pathways programme<br />
offers individualised programmes giving students<br />

Cashmere High<br />
School – future ready<br />
The good thing about our unpredictable<br />
and changeable future is that it comes one<br />
day at a time – and humans have successfully<br />
navigated dramatic changes and shifts<br />
in periods of our history. Schools, like other<br />
businesses, are busy thinking and planning<br />
to best prepare for the complex modern<br />
and technologically focused future world.<br />
Cashmere is a school with clear direction in<br />
a time of uncertainty.<br />
Here at Cashmere High School<br />
we are future ready, thanks to<br />
our new property works,<br />
successful implementation<br />
of our BYOD (Bring Your<br />
Own Device) programme,<br />
personalised learning<br />
pathways and consistently<br />
excellent educational outcomes.<br />
Mark Wilson, Principal<br />
We have just completed Stage<br />
1, and are well into Stage 2, of our<br />
Christchurch Schools Rebuild programme.<br />
This will deliver modern vibrant facilities<br />
that provide good conditions (e.g. acoustics<br />
and temperature), are digitally connected<br />
(e.g. wifi), and allow for genuinely flexible<br />
learning (e.g. both traditional and innovative<br />
approaches). All our students use their own<br />
digital device (BYOD) to learn not only the<br />
content but also digital skills (e.g. cybersafey)<br />
to equip them for the modern world.<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

Yet learning is not restricted to digital tools,<br />
with plenty of time for physical exercise and<br />
hands-on practical experiences. Our personalised<br />
learning includes offering broad<br />
curriculum choices and relevant support for<br />
both gifted and talented and those requiring<br />
learning support.<br />
Our consistently outstanding NCEA results<br />
open up personalised pathways for students<br />
– whether this involves moving<br />
onto higher tertiary studies<br />
(e.g. universities) or through<br />
into trades and apprenticeships.<br />
Our staff recognise<br />
and support students to<br />
find their own individual<br />
passions and future pathways.<br />
As a community state school<br />
we also offer our students a safe environment<br />
to socially mix with a wide range<br />
of students and develop the competencies<br />
to live and work in a diverse global society.<br />
We are proud of our mission statement that<br />
means we focus on “developing both the<br />
intellect and character of our students” – in<br />
order to craft well balanced young people<br />
confident in realising their potential in the<br />

Founded in 1877, Christchurch Girls’ High<br />
School / Te Kura o Hine Waiora benefits<br />
greatly from 140 years of proud educational<br />
achievement. This year our Performing Arts<br />
Centre has added a new dimension to the<br />
education we are able to offer. Art, Drama<br />
and Music are finding inspiration inside a<br />
building that offers light, space and volume<br />
with purpose built and designed facilities.<br />
All the programmes at Christchurch Girls’<br />
High School are designed with girls in mind.<br />
We want our students to explore the possibilities<br />
that are on offer so that when they<br />
leave school they will have choices and can<br />
determine their own future and not have it<br />
predetermined by others.<br />
We prepare our students by asking them to<br />
embrace tradition, innovation and excellence<br />
and to appreciate the importance of each<br />
in shaping the future. The school values,<br />
developed by the students themselves, are an<br />
integral part of the education we offer:<br />
Compassion Aroha - A Christchurch Girls’<br />

Middle schooling<br />
makes a difference<br />
Having a curriculum and learning environment<br />
designed specifically for learners in the<br />
“middle years” (Years 7-10) is essential to<br />
ensure high levels of motivation and engagement<br />
in learning during these crucial years.<br />
At Hillmorton High School, having a<br />
consistent approach without a transition to a<br />
new school between Year 8 and 9, is proving<br />
to be positive in terms of accelerating<br />
student learning within the Middle School.<br />
We are currently working with our architects<br />
designing a new Middle School building<br />
with 22 “General Learning Areas”. These<br />
areas are flexible and can operate as single<br />
cell classrooms or be opened up to allow<br />
more adaptable learning spaces; the best of<br />
both worlds. This building will not disrupt<br />
learning as it is being built on the current<br />
tennis courts.<br />
This environment fits well with our broad<br />
Middle School curriculum which allows<br />
learners to explore and find both their<br />
strengths and passions.<br />
The advantage of combining the skills of<br />
specialist Year 7 and 8 teachers, with the secondary<br />
subject specialists gives our Middle<br />
School learners significant advantage. Additionally,<br />
our “Big Day Out” events and end<br />
of year student electives allow our young<br />
people to learn in a range of environments,<br />
often participating in social action such as<br />
planting, working with the elderly, along<br />
with exploring the city, the Art Gallery and<br />
the university.<br />
Our Middle School is ensuring real educational<br />
success and positive future prospects<br />
as students move into the Senior School for<br />
Years 11-13.<br />

Hagley Community<br />
College<br />
Kia ora tātou. Welcome to Hagley’s Junior<br />
Graduating College!<br />
What’s important at Hagley, a school with a<br />
160 year old history which makes it nearly as<br />
old as Christchurch itself?<br />
Our values matter. Those values<br />
are seen in the relationships our<br />
teachers build with each of our students.<br />
It’s how we treat our students<br />
that sets Hagley apart, valuing them<br />
as individuals – that is the Hagley<br />
way. What does that mean for our<br />
students? They feel that teachers are<br />
interested in them and care about<br />
their learning, they feel that they’re<br />
experiencing success – and much<br />
more.<br />

We’re often asked, what makes Hagley different?<br />
We have a culture like no other. No one<br />
wears a uniform and everyone’s on a first name<br />
basis. But that’s just for starters. Students come<br />
to Hagley because they’re treated with respect,<br />
accepted for who they are as unique individuals.<br />
They know it’s cool to be<br />
different!<br />
We love our students aiming<br />
high and doing well. We<br />
believe there is no single stereotype<br />
for success. At Hagley<br />
being successful comes in<br />
many shapes and forms.<br />
We want you to feel excited<br />
about coming here. We look<br />
forward to you being part of Hagley’s 2019<br />
Junior Graduating College!<br />
Mike Fowler - Principal<br />

When asked what they most want for their<br />
children, the answer that comes back from<br />
parents with resounding consistency is happiness.<br />
One of the really important building<br />
blocks of happiness is strong relationships,<br />
and at Hornby High School we take great<br />
pride in the work that we do to build and<br />
maintain strong relationships throughout the<br />
school. We understand that these relationships<br />
have to be learning focussed, because it<br />
is your child’s learning that matters, and that<br />
these relationships have to be built within<br />
your own cultural context, because to each of<br />
us our culture grounds us in who we are.<br />
These are exciting times for Hornby High<br />
School as work on our school rebuild<br />
proceeds. We move into the first of our new<br />
buildings at the end of term 2 this year.<br />
These new buildings offer a mix of public<br />
and private spaces that match the learning<br />
needs of individual students. They have been<br />
designed to exploit what we call the ‘synergies<br />
‘of different subject areas that is to allow<br />
those logical real world connections to be<br />
easily discovered and experienced by students.<br />
All of this is grounded in programmes<br />
that promote basic literacy and numeracy<br />
skills while also allowing students to develop<br />
the communication, creativity, thinking<br />
and collaborative skills that our new world<br />
demands.<br />
Join us as we work towards our aspiration<br />
to be “A centre of creative excellence He<br />

develop as confident individuals, and developing<br />
personal attributes, such as organisation,<br />
confidence, relationships with others,<br />
and independence.<br />
At Medbury, the focus is on the ‘whole<br />
boy’, and small class sizes enable teachers to<br />
deliver a personalised learning programme,<br />
ensuring that every boy has the support, extension<br />
and encouragement he needs to discover<br />
and develop his particular strengths.<br />
The learning programmes are all focused on<br />
a boy’s way of learning, providing them with<br />
a structured environment, with competition,<br />
boundaries and an opportunity to succeed.<br />
Medbury’s Headmaster, Ian Macpherson,<br />

the potential of every boy. It is why we exist<br />
– to understand each boy’s opportunities and<br />
challenges, then personalise an education<br />
which encourages him to strive to be the<br />
very best he can be.<br />
Friendships, values and a quiet self-confidence<br />
that comes with sound preparation,<br />
will provide an invaluable foundation for the<br />
boys’ educational journeys ahead.”<br />

School<br />
Formation is at the heart of the education<br />
Middleton Grange School provides – a<br />
whole of life formation. We see learning as<br />
holistic; it aims to instruct the mind, shape<br />
the heart and equip the hand. The root of<br />
formation is faith and so Middleton Grange<br />
not only provides a first rate general education<br />
but also biblically based teaching in the<br />
Christian faith.<br />
Formation of the mind is not primarily<br />
intellectual contemplation or conceptual<br />
mastery but a learning that nurtures wisdom<br />
and discernment. It is a learning that<br />
challenges the mind to think, discern and<br />
critique the ideas and theories pupils are<br />
exposed to from a Christian perspective.<br />
Middleton Grange’s learning culture allows<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
advertising feature<br />
the formation of the heart so that it shapes<br />
the character of each pupil to develop habits<br />
of righteousness, compassion and integrity.<br />
This formation of the mind and heart generates<br />
responsiveness. We want our pupils to<br />
engage in the society they live in, to be of<br />
benefit and blessing in a practical way.<br />
For Middleton Grange School, while our<br />
academic results are of the highest level,<br />
what is highly prized, is that our pupils<br />
exercise wisdom, serve the community and<br />
promote the well-being of others. It is about<br />
forming the pupil to be the person God created<br />
them to be.<br />
All of this is summed up in the school<br />
motto: Character, Excellence, Service for the<br />
Glory of God.<br />

Christian<br />
Integrated<br />
Schools<br />
Working together for the good of students<br />
and families has been a successful recipe<br />
for Christian Integrated Schools in Christchurch.<br />
The Christian School Network has been<br />
in existence for over ten years. Aidanfield<br />
Christian School, Emmanuel Christian<br />
School, Hillview Christian School and<br />
Middleton Grange School decided in 2005<br />
that there was much to be gained by working<br />
together cooperatively. They recognised<br />
opportunities to share successful teaching<br />
practice, curriculum development initiatives<br />
across a wide spectrum of school operations<br />
as well as cooperatively strengthening their<br />
special Christian Character. They recognised<br />
that their ability to serve students and<br />
families was greatly enhanced by working<br />
together in a close and trusting relationship.<br />
The success of the network has seen other<br />
schools wanting to join in. Early in the piece<br />
Rangiora New Life School became part of<br />
the network. The schools joined together to<br />
support the genesis of Ashburton Christian<br />
School and also culminated in the start up of<br />
a brand new school in Rolleston in 2015.<br />
The schools have developed interlocking<br />
enrolment schools which assists in providing<br />
transparent pathways in Christian education<br />
from new entrant through to Year 13.<br />
A further strength has been a cooperative<br />
engagement with the Ministry of Education<br />
who have been pivotal in assisting the<br />
networks successful development.<br />

Papanui High -<br />
Preparing students<br />
for their future<br />
Giving students the opportunity to study<br />
from an innovative and broad curriculum is<br />
critical to providing each student a pathway<br />
that meets their individual needs. We<br />
allow for a greater range and flexibility in<br />
subject choice including the utilization of<br />
the secondary/tertiary interface.<br />
This reinforces the philosophy<br />
underpinning personalised<br />
learning and is strongly<br />
supported by understanding<br />
our students’<br />
interests, passions,<br />
talents, and ultimately<br />
their career aspirations.<br />
We understand that<br />
for effective learning<br />
to take place, it has to be<br />
implemented in such a way<br />
that students will be highly engaged.<br />
The school does this in a ‘forward<br />
thinking’ way by creating learning environments<br />
that allow our students to see value in<br />
what they do and achieve. Papanui “PRIDE”<br />
is what we represent and we demonstrate<br />
this by having young adults leave our school<br />
as confident learners who have gained the<br />
appropriate qualifications and social skills<br />
to become valued contributing members of<br />
society.<br />
All that we do here is reinforced by positive<br />
relationships, an ethos of caring, cultural<br />
responsiveness, inclusion, and high expectations<br />
– what we call “Our Full service<br />
Model”. The school highly<br />
values the connectedness<br />
of curricular and cocurricular<br />
learning. We<br />
have a philosophical<br />
understanding that the<br />
holistic development of<br />
the student is critical to<br />
their individual success.<br />
The school has worked<br />
hard to consolidate recent<br />
initiatives to ensure sustained<br />
and continuous improvement. You are<br />
invited to view our website, school charter,<br />
ERO report, and/or contact the school for<br />
more information.<br />

them to be. We aim not to make the College<br />
great but to ensure every boy has the<br />
opportunity to be great, and we endeavour<br />

have in their time here at the College.<br />

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