ONE HUNDRED St Margaret’s 

College students, 100 sleeping 

bags and a night in the school 

hall. 

Students lived “under a canvas” 

with rationed food and no 

technology to raise money for the 

school’s charity, Educating Girls’ 

Globally, which provides education 

opportunities for students 

in Africa. St Margaret’s executive 

principal Gillian Simpson said it 

was an “experience” for students 

who had never lived without 

technology or on rationed food. 

“Our vision was to give our 

students from year 7 to 13 an 

experience of camping together

technology. Added to this are 

guest speakers who will increase 

understanding and awareness 

of the challenges facing young 

women around the world who 

experience hardship and uncertainty 

daily in their lives,” she 

said. 

But Mrs Simpson said it was 

only a “mere glimpse” into what 

girls around the world experience 

who are the same age as St Margaret’s 

students. 

“It provides a means of increasing 

understanding and compassionate 

empathy in our young 

women.” •Turn to page 8 

Work to 

bring 

Papanui 

Bush back 

to life 

starts 

next week 

• By Sophie Cornish 

THE FIRST step in reinstating 

the historic Papanui Bush is 

about to start. 

A planting day at Bridgestone 

Reserve on Langdons Rd has 

been planned by the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board for 

April 27. 

About 150 volunteers have 

been rallied to plant more than 

1500 native trees in a bid to 

rejuvenate the bush. 

Groups involved in the 

planting will include Papanui 

High School, Papanui Primary 

School, the Rotary Club of 

Papanui, local churches and 

community groups from across 

the area. 

“It’s going to be excellent, it’s 

a really historic moment, 167 

years,” said community board 

member John Stringer. 

The bush took up 36ha 

of land in 1850, which is now 

Papanui High School and 

Vagues Rd.

Signs of trouble for Keown 

• By Julia Evans 

CITY COUNCILLOR Aaron 

Keown has been rapped over 

the knuckles for putting notices 

on poles holding compulsory 

stop signs. 

Cr Keown put the notices up 

at the Harewood, Breens and 

Gardiners Rds 

intersection, 

encouraging 

residents to 

submit on the 

city council’s 

Long Term Plan 

in favour of 

upgrading the 

Aaron 

Keown 

intersection to 

lights. 

He put the 

notices at the bottom of the 

stop signs, and the city council 

removed them. 

A New Zealand Transport 

Agency spokesperson said 

placing items on stop signs was 

“not helpful” as they distracted 

drivers who may read the notice 

instead of paying attention to 

the stop sign. 

“You are not legally allowed to 

add other signs onto road safety 

signs or poles for the same 

reason.” 

A city council spokeswoman 

said a member of the roading

advertisement (right) from the intersection of Harewood, 

Breens and Gardiners Rds after Aaron Keown’s signs were

team took the notices down. 

But Cr Keown told Nor’West 

News he still did not consider 

it a safety issue, saying it was a 

“long bow” to draw. 

“In no way could they be 

distracting, in fact you’re more 

likely to slow down and stop for 

a few seconds to read them.” 

“There’s actually another sign 

up at the intersection that’s 

covering part of a stop sign, 

advertising jet skis,” he said. 

The jet ski advertisement has 

now been removed. The spokeswoman 

said the reason that sign

hadn’t been taken down was 

because the city council didn’t 

know about it. 

“We simply didn’t know about 

it, now we know we’ll take it 

down,” she said. 

The base of Cr Keown’s 

re-election campaign was to 

get the Harewood intersection 

upgraded to lights. 

He has lobbied hard for the 

signals – from hosting a community 

meeting at the corner, 

to offering $100 to anyone who 

could name an intersection 

in the city without lights that 

crossed as many lanes as Harewood, 

Gardiners and Breens 

Rds. 

“I’m trying to get people to 

engage with council. Public 

notices go up on a site, whether 

it be road works or a new bottle 

store . . . it’s the same,” he said. 

Last year city councillors 

voted down including the intersection 

in the LTP.

WESTMINSTER ST LEASE 

The city council has received two 

expressions of interest for the use 

of the building at 280 Westminster 

St, Mairehau. It comes after former 

Westminster Sports Inc president 

Rob Smith, alongside Graeme 

Spinks, of the Christchurch School 

of Judo, and Giles Wood, president 

of Riccarton Players, asked the 

city council if the community 

could use the building. Staff are 

now working through what a lease 

would look like. 

30KM/H SPEED LIMIT 

The speed limit when passing some 

sections of the Papanui Parallel 

cycleway on Trafalgar St, Coles 

Pl and Dover St will be dropped 

from 50km/h to 30km/h. The 

change was approved by the city 

council infrastructure, transport 

and environment committee at 

its meeting on Wednesday. The 

plan went out to the public for 

consultation, with 87 per cent 

of respondents supporting the 

change. Signs will be installed by 

the end of the month.

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.

Work to bring Papanui Bush 

back to life starts next week 

•From page 1 

During this time, most trees 

were felled over a period of five to 

six years. 

The project will be split into 

two phases with two planting 

areas at the north and south ends 

of the reserve. The city council 

has offered $11,000 for the first 

phase of the project. 

At its meeting on Friday, 

the board approved $7000 for 

another planting day on June 5. 

Deputy chairwoman Emma 

Norrish said this would come 

from its discretionary response 

fund. 

Once complete, it will make the 

reserve the second native bush 

in the city, along with Riccarton 

Bush. 

The trees may be sourced from 

Trees for Canterbury and the 

Wai-ora Trust, and may include 

totara and kowhai. 

City council ecologist Antony 

Shadbolt said some parts of the 

reserve are suitable for smaller 

areas of native forest planting. 

“While these areas pale in 

comparison with the original 

Papanui Bush, they nevertheless 

provide significant sections of 

native forest within the urban 

area, and function as part of a

much wider bush network across 

both the city and the Canterbury 

Plains,” Dr Shadbolt said. 

“The new plantings will play 

an important role in improving 

the ecological functionality of 

the city, assist in the return of 

bush birds, and provide a unique 

opportunity for the community 

to be involved in the creation 

of a much treasured natural 

environment.” 

COMMUNITY GROUPS will 

be able to use rooms in Avebury

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

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

front of a photo at the Valley Inn Tavern from when he was a 

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 

Shirley resident 

Verity Verster 

talks about 

how several 

suburbs may be 

left out of the 

potential new 

Shirley Boys and 

Avonside Girls’ High School 

zone 

THE RE-ZONING 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 re-zoning 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 

•From page 1 

During the overnight camp, the girls 

listened to guest speakers, EGG cofounders 

Lucy Tothill and Gussie Cohen, 

who are St Margaret’s old girls. They have 

had first-hand experiences in countries 

such as Malawi, Tajikistan and Somalia. 

The EGG charity was recently granted 

charitable trust status. 

Head girl Jemima Vaughan said it was 

“super exciting” to see girls getting involved 

and supporting the school charity. 

“It gives them some perspective of 

worldwide issues and sits really well with 

our school theme for the year, ‘everyday 

superstars’, which is centred around 

service and kindness.” 

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 ‘re-zoning’, 

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.

Beach-goers highlight mental health 

SPORTS 


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.” 

TOGETHER: OneWave New Brighton is tackling mental health through saltwater therapy, surfing and fluro clothing. 

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 

greatly helped her. 

“It’s given me a reason to get to 

the beach early in the morning. A 

lot of people don’t necessarily like 

going to the beach that early in 

the morning, but I think it’s the 

perfect way to start your day.” 

“It gives me a good group of 

people to talk about stuff with.”

Golf club merger plan fails to tee off 


Local 


Now 


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 

Ivan Iafeta 

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 

RELIEVED: Ruthie Emeny (left) and Cathy Baker from the Guardians of Rawhiti are relieved to 

hear the land swap idea proposed by Regenerate Christchurch, which would see some of domain 

lost to housing, has been axed. 

about it all and happy to stay 

where we are.” 

However, Mr Zilinskas said 

personally he was disappointed. 

“I thought it was a great opportunity 

to get brand new facilities 

for our club but also, in my view, 

I think the whole suburb needs a 

bit of operation to come back.” 

Avondale Golf Club president 

Dave Buchanan has said 

previously the club was divided 

over the merger. He didn’t want 

to comment on the decision to 

not go ahead with the plan. 

Coastal Ward city councillor 

Glenn Livingstone is pleased 

Regenerate Christchurch had listened 

to opponents of the plan. 

“This is an encouraging sign 

for the future development of 

the red zone; that the local host 

community’s 

views matter and are taken into 

account.” 

Said Regenerate chief 

executive Ivan Iafeta: “The same 

land could be used in other 

ways that would provide greater 

overall outcomes consistent 

with the vision, objectives and 

land use assessment criteria.” 

Mr Iafeta said housing may still 

be included in the plan for the 

Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor 

regeneration area. 

SPOTTED: A rare white heron 

at Bottle Lake Forest. 

Rare heron at 

Bottle Lake 

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.’’ 

Mr Crossland says the heron is 

an adult in non-breeding plumage 

and is likely to have come here 

from breeding grounds on the 

West Coast to feed.

Re-inventing Shakespeare gets 

students to national competition 


A MODERN take on 

Shakespeare’s romantic love 

story As You Like It will see 

several St Margaret’s College 

students travel and perform in a 

national competition. 

Directed by students Ruby 

Anderson and Emily Stewart, 

their version of the play won 

the ‘best communication 

with audience’ and ‘best 

student directed piece’ at the 

SGCNZ University of Otago 

Sheilah Winn Shakespeare 

Festival in Christchurch on April 

7-8. 

The students were required to 

come up with a setting, interpretation 

and ‘breathe new life’ 

into a play to make Shakespeare 

relevant for a modern audience. 

The cast of year 11-13 students 

– Sophie McClean and Kaitlin 

Burden along with dancers Polly 

Forbes, Lucy Fulton, Poppy Cox, 

Annalida Jaegar, Olivia Wilson 

and Georgina Lange – reenacted 

the scene. 

The entire cast will travel to 

Wellington to perform in the 

national competition at the end 

of next month. 

The students will have the 

opportunity to attend acting 

workshops and will perform 

their scene from As You Like It. 

St Margaret’s students Izzy 

van der Hoorn and Virginia 

Macdonald also won ‘most effective 

design’ for their piece from 

Love’s Labour’s Lost. 

‘Most promising student directors’ 

was awarded to Georgia

Papanui 15-year-old 

seeks scholarship at 

Cambridge University 

THE PRESTIGIOUS Cambridge 

University in the United 

Kingdom may be the next stop 

for Papanui’s Jessica Villegas. 

But at 15, the Christchurch 

Adventist School student is 

younger than most people who 

apply for a scholarship at 17. 

But Jessica has a secret 

weapon. She already has two 

Canterbury University papers 

under her belt which she thinks 

will help her secure the spot at 

Cambridge studying medicine 

or engineering. 

“I want to achieve a lot of 

things after school,” Jessica said. 

“I don’t want to stop at medicine 

or engineering, I want to keep 

learning.” 

In year 10, Jessica had finished 

year 13 maths classes with the 

help of the Papanui Kumon 

classes. 

“I have Kumon to thank for 

finishing year 13 maths early, 

and it’s helped me become more 

interested in pursuing engineering 

or medicine,” she said. 

She began studying with 

Kumon before moving to New 

Zealand from the Philippines. 

Jessica’s mother Luannie 

Villegas said the classes helped 

Jessica and her siblings Justine 

and Jasmine when they arrived 

in their new country. 

SCHOLAR: Jessica Villegas, 

15, has applied for a 

scholarship to study at 

Cambridge University. 

“My kids were initially shy but 

Kumon helped them gain more 

confidence,” she said. 

“I think it also helped them 

adjust to life in New Zealand.”

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

Ear Health Canterbury has been 

providing a microscopic ear cleaning 

service in Canterbury for 19 years 

From small beginnings in 1999 

where monthly clinics were held in the 

Christchurch Hearing Association in 

Beveridge Street the service expanded 

rapidly as clients discovered and 

appreciated the benefits of micro suction 

technology. 

Twelve months later clinics had 

increased to 5 days a week and with the 

help of more trained Registered nurses 

and Reception staff clinics opened in 

Rangiora, Ashburton Timaru Temuka 

and Waimate. 

In 2004 the clinic moved with the 

Hearing Association to larger premises 

at 275 Riccarton Road. They remain 

there today offering a Monday to 

Saturday service and a popular and busy 

mobile service to Retirement Villages, 

Rest Home residents and to people with 

mobility difficulties in their private 

homes. 

While a weekly clinic is still held in 

Ashburton, the South Canterbury clinics 

are now under new Management. 

Many conditions affecting the outer 

ear canal can be treated and monitored 

at Ear Health including infections, 

relieving impacted wax and removal of 

foreign bodies. Preventative education is 

also offered and for those with hearing 

aids due to sensorineural hearing loss 

Ear Health has accredited ACC and War 

Pension funding 

This safe, accessible, affordable ear 

care is provided to all age groups in a 

client focused environment with the 

nurses working collaboratively with 

General Practitioners, Audiologists, 

Hearing Therapists and Secondary Care 

Consultants. 

Maintaining good ear hygiene has 

many benefits. It can improve hearing 

and balance, reduce the symptoms of 

tinnitus, improve the effectiveness of 

hearing aids and reduce the incidence of 

aural infections. Most importantly, this 

then enhances quality of life.

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.

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

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 

your home. 

Moisture in your home can cause mould 

and mildew on your walls and furnishings. 

It is also bad for the health of the occupants. 

Household cooking is a major source of 

internal moisture, therefore an effective 

kitchen extraction system can make a 

significant difference to internal moisture 

levels. 

Smooth-Air can also help with other 

forms of ventilation, such as bathroom 

extraction, condensation reduction or

Lifelong Learning is not just about older 

people learning. It is about good discussion, 

taking risks and accepting new challenges 

and opening your mind to new ideas. At any 

age. 

I sit in my office and listen to a group 

discussing a wide range of issues in the next 

room. Some of their viewpoints I agree with 

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

not all agree with each other. So they discuss 

intently then they laugh and have lunch 

together. They continue to sort out the world 

and issues as far apart as Use of Technology, 

Autonomous vehicles, Importance of Art, 

Relevance of religion, Veganism, City

Ultimate campus 

taking shape at QEII 

Park 

Sue and John. 

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.”

Catholic Cathedral 

College - 

To live by faith 

Catholic Cathedral College is first and 

foremost a Catholic school and for 150 years 

Catholic children of Christchurch have been 

educated on this site. We aim to produce 

graduates who are confident, compassionate, 

connected citizens, willing to make a positive 

contribution to our society with a focus on 

faith, justice and equity. 

As the only co-ed Catholic College in 

Christchurch, with a vibrant mix of ethnicities, 

we offer excellent preparation for life. 

We have a strong focus on our bicultural 

heritage and all students from Year 7 to 9 

learn Te Reo Maori. 

We encourage our students to strive for 

excellence and have had sustained excellent 

academic results over recent years for all students, 

including Maori and Pasifika students, 

across all three levels of NCEA. 

Our Vocational Pathways programme 

offers individualised programmes giving students 

access to a range of tertiary providers. 

If you are looking for a Catholic faith-based 

education, please visit us on our Open Evening 

and experience the special atmosphere 

and sense of family that is so evident. 

Cashmere High 

School – future ready 

The good thing about our unpredictable 

and changeable future is that it comes one 

day at a time – and humans have successfully 

navigated dramatic changes and shifts 

in periods of our history. Schools, like other 

businesses, are busy thinking and planning 

to best prepare for the complex modern 

and technologically focused future world. 

Cashmere is a school with clear direction in 

a time of uncertainty. 

Here at Cashmere High School 

we are future ready, thanks to 

our new property works, 

successful implementation 

of our BYOD (Bring Your 

Own Device) programme, 

personalised learning 

pathways and consistently 

excellent educational outcomes. 

Mark Wilson, Principal 

We have just completed Stage 

1, and are well into Stage 2, of our 

Christchurch Schools Rebuild programme. 

This will deliver modern vibrant facilities 

that provide good conditions (e.g. acoustics 

and temperature), are digitally connected 

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

learning (e.g. both traditional and innovative 

approaches). All our students use their own 

digital device (BYOD) to learn not only the 

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

to equip them for the modern world. 



Yet learning is not restricted to digital tools, 

with plenty of time for physical exercise and 

hands-on practical experiences. Our personalised 

learning includes offering broad 

curriculum choices and relevant support for 

both gifted and talented and those requiring 

learning support. 

Our consistently outstanding NCEA results 

open up personalised pathways for students 

– whether this involves moving 

onto higher tertiary studies 

(e.g. universities) or through 

into trades and apprenticeships. 

Our staff recognise 

and support students to 

find their own individual 

passions and future pathways. 

As a community state school 

we also offer our students a safe environment 

to socially mix with a wide range 

of students and develop the competencies 

to live and work in a diverse global society. 

We are proud of our mission statement that 

means we focus on “developing both the 

intellect and character of our students” – in 

order to craft well balanced young people 

confident in realising their potential in the 

modern world.

Zealand Scholarship: (left to right): Sophie Marris, Emma Coultas, Marina 

Vivas, Phoebe Milne and Emma Wotherspoon 

Founded in 1877, Christchurch Girls’ High 

School / Te Kura o Hine Waiora benefits 

greatly from 140 years of proud educational 

achievement. This year our Performing Arts 

Centre has added a new dimension to the 

education we are able to offer. Art, Drama 

and Music are finding inspiration inside a 

building that offers light, space and volume 

with purpose built and designed facilities. 

All the programmes at Christchurch Girls’ 

High School are designed with girls in mind. 

We want our students to explore the possibilities 

that are on offer so that when they 

leave school they will have choices and can 

determine their own future and not have it 

predetermined by others. 

We prepare our students by asking them to 

embrace tradition, innovation and excellence 

and to appreciate the importance of each 

in shaping the future. The school values, 

developed by the students themselves, are an 

integral part of the education we offer: 

Compassion Aroha - A Christchurch Girls’ 

High School girl will show empathy and 

concern for others. She will have an understanding 

of the world and people beyond her 

own circumstances, giving service and acting 

with decency. 

Gratitude Whai Whakaaro - A Te Kura 

o Hine Waiora student is thankful for the 

support of her family and whanau. She is appreciative 

of the opportunities she has been 

able to explore at school. 

Honesty Pono - A Christchurch Girls’ High 

School girl will act with integrity. She will be 

known for her honesty, courtesy, reliability 

and trustworthiness. 

Strength Kaha - A Te Kura o Hine Waiora 

girl will stand tall and proud. She will have 

the have the courage and strength of character 

to do what is right, facing challenge and 

change with confidence. 

We warmly invite you to come and see

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.

Hagley Community 

College 

Kia ora tātou. Welcome to Hagley’s Junior 

Graduating College! 

What’s important at Hagley, a school with a 

160 year old history which makes it nearly as 

old as Christchurch itself? 

Our values matter. Those values 

are seen in the relationships our 

teachers build with each of our students. 

It’s how we treat our students 

that sets Hagley apart, valuing them 

as individuals – that is the Hagley 

way. What does that mean for our 

students? They feel that teachers are 

interested in them and care about 

their learning, they feel that they’re 

experiencing success – and much 

more.

We’re often asked, what makes Hagley different? 

We have a culture like no other. No one 

wears a uniform and everyone’s on a first name 

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

to Hagley because they’re treated with respect, 

accepted for who they are as unique individuals. 

They know it’s cool to be 

different! 

We love our students aiming 

high and doing well. We 

believe there is no single stereotype 

for success. At Hagley 

being successful comes in 

many shapes and forms. 

We want you to feel excited 

about coming here. We look 

forward to you being part of Hagley’s 2019 

Junior Graduating College! 

Mike Fowler - Principal 


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 

puna auaha”.

Medbury School 

Marian College 


Marian College 2018 student leaders Rachael Nilsson, Izzy Bloxham 

(Head Girl), Olivia Altenburg-Carey and Louise Daly. 

Medbury School is the only independent 

boys’ school in Christchurch, offering an education 

for both dayboys and boarders from 

Years 1 to 8. Medbury offers a traditional 

education, encompassing the Medbury values 

of manners and respect, and its vision is 

to provide an education which prepares boys 

for life in the 21st Century. 

Whilst placing a high value on Literacy and 

Numeracy in a ‘boys-only’ learning environment, 

Medbury also believes in helping boys 

develop as confident individuals, and developing 

personal attributes, such as organisation, 

confidence, relationships with others, 

and independence. 

At Medbury, the focus is on the ‘whole 

boy’, and small class sizes enable teachers to 

deliver a personalised learning programme, 

ensuring that every boy has the support, extension 

and encouragement he needs to discover 

and develop his particular strengths. 

The learning programmes are all focused on 

a boy’s way of learning, providing them with 

a structured environment, with competition, 

boundaries and an opportunity to succeed. 

Medbury’s Headmaster, Ian Macpherson, 

states, “Our passion at Medbury is to unlock 

the potential of every boy. It is why we exist 

– to understand each boy’s opportunities and 

challenges, then personalise an education 

which encourages him to strive to be the 

very best he can be. 

Friendships, values and a quiet self-confidence 

that comes with sound preparation, 

will provide an invaluable foundation for the 

boys’ educational journeys ahead.”

School 

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 



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.

Christian 

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.

Opening our doors – We know girls 


The feedback we constantly hear from parents 

and girls is that they feel very much at 

home at Rangi; the school grounds are green 

and open; the common spaces are bright and 

relaxing; the classes sizes are small but fun 

and challenging; and the choices are many 

and varied. 

At Rangi Ruru there’s a refreshing frankness, 

an openness, and an encouragement to 

share – achievements, problems, ideas, goals. 

That can only happen where there is comfort, 

confidence and happiness. 

Rangi Ruru has outstanding facilities, 

teaching staff, specialist tutors, 30 sporting 

codes and 75 top coaches, incredibly good 

exam results, a phenomenal theatre arts programme, 

an outstanding choice of options 

in music with high performance support 

programmes available, a very proud history, 

a visual arts curriculum that has to be seen 

to be believed, and personalised learning in 

small classes with some of the best teachers

Papanui High - 

Preparing students 

for their future 

Giving students the opportunity to study 

from an innovative and broad curriculum is 

critical to providing each student a pathway 

that meets their individual needs. We 

allow for a greater range and flexibility in 

subject choice including the utilization of 

the secondary/tertiary interface. 

This reinforces the philosophy 

underpinning personalised 

learning and is strongly 

supported by understanding 

our students’ 

interests, passions, 

talents, and ultimately 

their career aspirations. 

We understand that 

for effective learning 

to take place, it has to be 

implemented in such a way 

that students will be highly engaged. 

The school does this in a ‘forward 

thinking’ way by creating learning environments 

that allow our students to see value in 

what they do and achieve. Papanui “PRIDE” 

is what we represent and we demonstrate 

this by having young adults leave our school 

as confident learners who have gained the 

appropriate qualifications and social skills 

to become valued contributing members of 

society. 

All that we do here is reinforced by positive 

relationships, an ethos of caring, cultural 

responsiveness, inclusion, and high expectations 

– what we call “Our Full service 

Model”. The school highly 

values the connectedness 

of curricular and cocurricular 

learning. We 

have a philosophical 

understanding that the 

holistic development of 

the student is critical to 

their individual success. 

The school has worked 

hard to consolidate recent 

initiatives to ensure sustained 

and continuous improvement. You are 

invited to view our website, school charter, 

ERO report, and/or contact the school for 

more information. 

We look forward to welcoming all prospective 

students and their families/whanau to 

visit our school.

Catholic, Marist and Bedean principles and 

values form the basis of a holistic education 

at the College, and our aim is that each boy 

has the best opportunity to become the best 

possible version of the person God created 

them to be. We aim not to make the College 

great but to ensure every boy has the 

opportunity to be great, and we endeavour 

to develop young men of Catholic hearts 

and minds through the experiences the boys 

have in their time here at the College. 

St Bede’s is a College for all…a place where 

gospel values are practised to help form 

principled men; a learning environment 

• Grounded in tradition, enlivened by innovation 

and inspired by God 

• Year 0 - 8 Anglican State - Integrated 

• Holistic education inspired by the Gospel through 

Grace/Huatau, Excellence/Hiranga, Courage/ 

Maiatanga and Faithfulness/Piriponotanga. 

• Caring family atmosphere 

• Specialist programmes 

• Exciting new campus 

• Transforming lives 

• Limited places available in 2019 



where everyone achieves; a place that teachers 

want to come to because of the strength 

of the community; a place also, where boys 

can embrace spiritual, sporting, cultural and 

community activities, which all combined 

shape boys into men. That’s the priority and 

that is in our DNA. 

We welcome parents and boys to the 

College’s Open Day on Thursday 10 May 

between 9am – noon, where you will have 

the opportunity to tour the College and meet 

staff and students. 

Parents are also invited to attend the 

Information Evening (commencing at 7pm) 

where Senior Management and students 

will provide further information about the 

College.

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, 


wholehearted and inclusive prep school. 

Our next Open Day is Wednesday 9 May or 

please contact our registrar, Bec Hitchcock, 

for a personal tour: 03.379.9790.
