Somerfield teacher retires after 40 years<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
A LOVE of teaching, feeling<br />
valued and freedom to do<br />
what he does well has kept<br />
Gavin Stevenson in the job at<br />
Somerfield School for 40 years.<br />
When he first visited the<br />
school, Mr Stevenson recalls<br />
laughing when a teacher said he<br />
had been there for seven years.<br />
“Fancy staying anywhere<br />
for seven years,” Mr Stevenson<br />
remarked.<br />
He said teaching was “always<br />
on his radar,” although he’s not<br />
sure why.<br />
“There were no sort of role<br />
models in the family or anything<br />
like that,” Mr Stevenson<br />
said.<br />
After completing a degree in<br />
sociology and psychology, Mr<br />
Stevenson applied for a one-year<br />
teaching course.<br />
It took a few years of teaching<br />
at different schools and a trip to<br />
Germany before Mr Stevenson<br />
found himself at Somerfield but<br />
when he was there, he didn’t<br />
leave.<br />
“Like all work places you have<br />
your ups and downs and so on<br />
but there is this real sense of<br />
family,” Mr Stevenson said.<br />

Noise<br />
concern<br />
delays<br />
skate<br />
park<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
POTENTIAL SKATE board noise<br />
is holding up the resource consent<br />
for the Halswell Domain skate park.<br />
Earlier this month, <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>View</strong><br />
revealed that the skate park opening<br />
had been delayed until the end of<br />
the year because of issues with the<br />
resource consent application.<br />
Now <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>View</strong> can reveal<br />
its application was awaiting further<br />
information from the city council<br />
– which is both the applicant and<br />
the authority that provides consent –<br />
regarding skateboard noise.<br />
On Thursday, city council head<br />
of resource consents John Higgins<br />
said the application is still on hold<br />
as the city council, as the applicant,<br />
is considering the commissioner’s<br />
report on the consent.<br />
Mr Higgins said commissioner<br />
David Mountfort had asked the city<br />
council for clarification about skateboard<br />
kick-ups raised in an acoustic<br />
report.<br />
Mr Mountfort will make a decision<br />
on the resource consent application<br />
based on a recommendation<br />
from the city council processing<br />
officer. •Turn to page 4<br />

Digging in at Linwood<br />
DEAN CALVERT was a pretty useful<br />
boxer in his day, and these days he’s not a<br />
bad sort of a publican.<br />
He’s mine host at the Valley Inn and<br />
when he’s not there he spends a bit of time<br />
travelling the world watching boxing.<br />
He has just returned from the Parker/Joshua fight in Wales<br />
(see page 5). He spent time in the Parker camp, courtesy of fellow<br />
Cantabrian Kevin Barry who trained Calvert during part of his<br />
career.<br />
Like any good publican he also did some industry research<br />
while in Wales: “We organised a good pub crawl one day.”<br />
It was, of course, to check on the menus for new ideas.<br />

Massive opposition to Denton Park plan<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
MOST PEOPLE who made a<br />
submission on Denton Park are<br />
opposed to the city council’s<br />
plans to build a $35.7 million<br />
mega centre on it.<br />
THe hearings panel is<br />
scheduled to have its first<br />
meeting today,<br />
followed by<br />
another one<br />
tomorrow<br />
and a third<br />
on Monday if<br />
required.<br />
Fifty<br />
submitters are<br />
Ross<br />
Houliston<br />
set to speak<br />
to the panel<br />
in support of<br />
their written submission.<br />
THe panel will make a<br />
recommendation on the<br />
proposed changes to the<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board. If the<br />
community board approves<br />
these changes, the city council’s<br />
chief executive Karleen Edwards<br />
will then have the final say.<br />
Figures show 84 per cent<br />
of submitters voted against<br />
reclassifying the park and<br />
changing its management plan.<br />
The city council received 1444<br />
submissions, with 530 hard copy<br />
submissions handed in on the<br />
last day.<br />
OPPOSED: Eighty-four per cent of submitters have<br />
voted against reclassifying Denton Park and changing its<br />
management plan.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
This surpasses the 1063<br />
submissions the city council<br />
received on the reinstatement of<br />
Christ Church Cathedral.<br />
In August, city councillors<br />
voted between Warren,<br />
Denton and Kyle parks for the<br />
location of the Hornby Library,<br />
Customer Services and Leisure<br />
Centre. Denton Park was then<br />
chosen.<br />
In order to build on 9766<br />
sq m of Denton Park, the reserve<br />
classification has to change.<br />
The facility’s proposed<br />
location has been highly<br />
controversial with sports clubs<br />
fearful of losing their home<br />
ground to the new centre.<br />
Save Denton Park group treasurer<br />
Ross Houliston said he’s<br />
“pretty happy” with the number<br />
of submitters opposed to the city<br />
council’s plan but believes the<br />
city council will “put this thing<br />
through” anyway.<br />
Ten per cent of submitters<br />
voted for the changes, three per<br />
cent generally supported the<br />
plan but have some concerns<br />
and another three per cent put<br />
no selection.<br />
On Thursday, the city council<br />
released a 1891-page meeting<br />
agenda and a 394-page traffic<br />
management plan.<br />
Mr Houliston said the city<br />
council’s traffic plan “is an absolute<br />
joke.”<br />
He said it has a lot of flaws but<br />
admits he’s not sure if there’s a<br />
good way to make a plan in such<br />
a busy area.<br />
The agenda addresses concerns<br />
which submitters had<br />
such as the effect on the sports<br />
clubs, gifting of land and vehicle<br />
parking.<br />
It also includes a Consultation<br />
and Crime Profile for Hornby.<br />
“Police victimisation data<br />
shows that Denton Park and<br />
Hornby Mall are categorised as<br />
experiencing the highest rates<br />
of crime when compared to all<br />
other mesh blocks nationally,”<br />
it read.<br />
However, it said incidents<br />
have “dropped considerably”<br />
since the closure of the Snafu<br />
Bar and Restaurant on Chalmers<br />
St.<br />
A Crime Prevention Through<br />
Environmental Design report<br />
was carried out and recommendations<br />
for the site included<br />
repositioning the proposed centre<br />
by 8m, creating a pedestrian<br />
only entrance from the northwest<br />
of Chalmers St and removing<br />
the cricket club rooms.<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 />

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 />

Teacher retires after 40 years<br />
•From page 1<br />
He said he’s contemplated retirement<br />
“various times” in the past<br />
five years.<br />
But when he finally made the call<br />
to retire last year, Mr Stevenson<br />
said he “didn’t regret it at all.”<br />
Mr Stevenson said he’s been using<br />
the extra time to mountain bike<br />
and walk.<br />
He leaves for a five-week holiday<br />
in Europe on Anzac Day.<br />
And when he returns, he will be<br />
back at the school relieving two<br />
days a week until the end of the<br />
year.<br />
“It’s a cool way to do it. I couldn’t<br />
just stop . . . this way it’s the best of<br />
both worlds,” he said.<br />
Noise concern delays skate park<br />
•From page 1<br />
In his report, Mr Mountfort<br />
said there is a “complete<br />
difference of opinion”<br />
from experts on<br />
kick-ups.<br />
“By this I do not<br />
mean any actual<br />
trick. It’s simply the<br />
action of the rider<br />
flipping up the board<br />
to catch one end of<br />
it in a hand, causing<br />
the other end<br />
to strike the ground,” the<br />
report read.<br />
Mr Mountfort said he<br />
needs to be “very sure”<br />
that the maximum level<br />
of the noise source is<br />
at a “permissible level”<br />
before he can conclude the<br />
residents are not affected<br />
parties.<br />
City council<br />

if it gains consent,<br />
the Halswell<br />
Domain skate<br />
park will be built<br />

construction set<br />
to start at the end of August.<br />
He said the skate park<br />

This has been a happy family home for many years, but a change in circumstances creates an<br />
opportunity for another family to move in and enjoy this lovely property. The views are hard<br />
to beat, across the city to the mountains and sea beyond. The substantial home is configured<br />
to offer great flexibility for all sorts of households, with a semi self-contained area that could<br />
be fantastic for extended family.<br />
The main areas of the home are upstairs where living, dining and kitchen are open plan, all<br />
with aspects of the view. The living room opens through ranch sliders to a wooden deck that<br />
wraps around the house and also connects to the master bedroom. A large kitchen area with<br />
room for casual dining is a few steps up from the living spaces and connects to a private and<br />
sheltered outdoor area at the rear of the property.<br />
The master bedroom has an ensuite, and there are two other bedrooms upstairs along with<br />
the main bathroom facilities, which are separated into 3 rooms, making it a practical and<br />
convenient home for busy households. Downstairs a spacious entrance and stairway area<br />
opens into a double bedroom with adjoining living and kitchen area, which in turn connects<br />
to a large games room. These are all generous spaces with myriad uses. The whole downstairs<br />
area has it’s own large outdoor area where of course the views take centre stage.<br />
There is a double garage with easy drive on access and off street parking. The timeless design<br />
of the house offers the next owners potential to update without breaking the bank. Whatever<br />
the next owner plans it will be the views that capture the heart and spark the imagination.

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 />
I can see clearly now<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 />
We’ve been trusted to look after hundreds<br />
of properties all over Christchurch.<br />
You can trust us to look after yours too.<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 />

Students dig in at Linwood College<br />
LINWOOD College students are<br />
digging in to help transform their<br />
school’s landscape.<br />
A naturalised area is being developed<br />
at the college as part of the $9<br />
million Bells Creek flood protection<br />
project.<br />
A dual-use stormwater basin and<br />
sports field is being built on the<br />
northern half of Edmonds Park.<br />
As a result, Bells Creek has been<br />
realigned through the college.<br />
More than 2000 plants will be<br />
introduced as part of the overall<br />
development.<br />
The college’s environmental group<br />
is working with students, a contractor<br />
and city council staff to plant up<br />
to 300 plants on the school grounds.<br />
“By involving students in the project,<br />
we aim to nurture their interest<br />
in the natural environment,” acting<br />
city council land drainage manager<br />
Tim Joyce said.<br />
“We hope that they can embrace<br />
the value of a flourishing environment<br />
that benefits the greater community,”<br />
he said.<br />
Said Helen Mora, Linwood College<br />
head of learning area, science:<br />
“This planting gives the group<br />
members their first hands-on opportunity<br />
to action one of their<br />
goals – to improve the plantings<br />
already on Bells Creek ready for<br />
when we come back on-site after the<br />
rebuild.”<br />

Halswell<br />
Residents’<br />
Association<br />
secretary<br />
David Hawke<br />
talks about<br />
how to make<br />
connections<br />
in your<br />
community<br />
Tuesday <strong>April</strong> <strong>17</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />
Local<br />
News<br />
Now<br />
Everyone should feel welcome in Halswell<br />
WHAT IS the No 1 issue facing<br />
Halswell? Halswell Residents’<br />
Association chairman John<br />
Bennett and I called on Port<br />
Hills MP Ruth Dyson and<br />
National List MP Nuk Korako to<br />
get their views back in February.<br />
Both MPs told us the same<br />
thing independently: Halswell is<br />
a suburb of new arrivals, whether<br />
from the other side of the world<br />
or the other side of town. And<br />
the people from the other side of<br />
the world need to be engaged in<br />
the life of the Halswell community<br />
much more than at present.<br />
So, how do people become<br />
engaged in a community? Some<br />
people have said that we need to<br />
organise an event. Others have<br />
said that we need to engage new<br />
arrivals through the schools.<br />
Yet others have said that<br />
people should be encouraged to<br />
share their stories through the<br />
Halswell newsletter.<br />
All of these are really good<br />
ideas and various people are<br />
working on them right now. But<br />
there is something far simpler.<br />
When you go for a walk, and you<br />
meet someone, smile – or even<br />
GREETINGS:<br />
David<br />
Hawke is<br />
encouraging<br />
Halswell<br />
residents<br />
to become<br />
engaged<br />
in their<br />
community,<br />
even if it’s<br />
as simple as<br />
saying “hello”<br />
to someone<br />
on your walk.<br />
SOUTHERN VIEW<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
say “hello”. It doesn’t need to be<br />
any more than this.<br />
At this basic level, just<br />
acknowledging a person tells<br />
them they are welcome, and that<br />
they matter. It isn’t important<br />
whether the person you encounter<br />
looks like you, or looks quite<br />
different. Underneath, we’re all<br />
the same and we all need to feel<br />
“at home”.<br />
Once you have found that the<br />
people you meet will often smile<br />
back or smile back next time<br />
they see you, you could think<br />
about the next step.<br />
So: who is the person living<br />
next door to you? I remember<br />
when we arrived in Halswell in<br />
1991 as unwilling migrants from<br />
Dunedin moving to get work.<br />
Next door neighbours Keith and<br />
Susan came over with a cake to<br />
welcome us. What a wonderful<br />
gesture. Why not try it? And if<br />
you are from the other side of the<br />
world or other side of the city –<br />
welcome to Halswell!<br />
Joanne McMaster –<br />
Outstanding. This is exactly the<br />
support we need, well done city<br />
council for stepping up.<br />
Readers respond to<br />
an article about Mayor<br />
Lianne Dalziel giving the<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board the okay<br />
to oppose the planned<br />
Templeton quarry<br />
Deb Flanagan – Awesome<br />
news. When will Fulton Hogan<br />
wake up – your chosen site<br />
is incompatible with local<br />
community land use. The<br />
Templeton community was here<br />
first and has been here since the<br />
1860s, you cannot just walk in<br />
and ruin 2000-plus people’s lives<br />
arguing it’s cheaper. The money<br />
argument for a company making<br />
a $<strong>17</strong>0 million profit is not a<br />
good enough justifiable reason.<br />
People’s health and quality of life<br />
matters more. Perhaps for the<br />
DELEGATION:<br />
The city<br />

okay to make<br />
a submission<br />
if Fulton<br />
Hogan applies<br />
for resource<br />
consent for<br />
its planned<br />
quarry near<br />
Templeton.<br />
first time ever under the RMA<br />
you will be denied consent. One<br />
must ask Fulton Hogan – where<br />
is your social/ethical conscience?<br />
Graham Pownceby – Time<br />
we stopped paying ECan, they<br />
are obviously working against,<br />
instead of for, us.<br />
Mark Peters – Great to see<br />
Mike Mora lobbying hard to<br />
represent his constituents, well<br />
done and keep it up.<br />
Luc Chandler – Kia Ora<br />
Mike. Good work.<br />
Michael Rae – Is NZ<br />
getting as bad as the United<br />
States?<br />
Are you saying now we can<br />
not have a say about what goes<br />
on where we live unless it is<br />
okay with big business and the<br />
council?<br />
Tell you this for free – if I don’t<br />
like something, no one in a suit<br />
or in power will stop me.<br />

Golf club merger plan fails to tee off<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<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 />
LINWOOD AVENUE School pupils have<br />
voiced their support for the proposed<br />
Linwood-Woolston Pool site in Smith St.<br />
They even delivered their submissions<br />
directly to local community board members.<br />
Accompanied by their teacher, Jane<br />
Thomson and deputy principal Trevor<br />
Proctor, the 26 pupils walked to the<br />
favoured pool site on the corner of<br />
Linwood Ave and Smith St to hand over<br />
their individual feedback to Linwood-<br />
Central-Heathcote Community Board<br />
chairwoman Sally Buck and deputy<br />
chairman Jake McLellan.<br />
Several youngsters read their project<br />
submissions to the board members, making<br />
their case for the indoor pool site in<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 />
Smith St.<br />
The year 5 and 6 students delivered<br />
their plea on the final day of site submissions,<br />
saying they had included several<br />
facility suggestions.<br />
Year 6 pupil Reine Pene, 10, strongly<br />
supports “the plan of putting the new<br />
pool on the corner of Smith St.”<br />
“It is important to know how to<br />
swim,” she said.<br />
“If we are lucky enough to have the<br />
pool in Smith St, I would also like a diving<br />
board to encourage people to conquer<br />
their fear. I would also like a pool for<br />
swimming lessons so people know how<br />
to survive,” she said.<br />
“I think they should have a good number<br />
of car parks. I also think they should<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 />
change the bus routes so disabled people<br />
and families who don’t have cars can get<br />
there easily.”<br />
Ms Thomson said her writing class<br />
pupils have made their views clear,<br />
providing a very positive response to the<br />
proposed pool site near the school.<br />
Ms Buck said the youngsters have<br />
highlighted their support for an indoor<br />
pool in Smith St.<br />
“We want the children to come to the<br />
community board meeting and present<br />
their case for the new pool site, underlining<br />
its importance for the area,” she said.<br />
All feedback will now be considered by<br />
the pool project team and a site recommendation<br />
will go to the community<br />
board. A decision is expected mid year.<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 />

wanted for<br />
Sumner band<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
ONE OF the oldest brass bands in<br />
Canterbury is on the hunt for new<br />
blood.<br />
The Sumner Brass Band started<br />
in the 1880s and played together<br />
until World War 2.<br />
In 1950, a public meeting decided<br />
the district should once again<br />
have a brass band of its own – and<br />
the Sumner Silver Band was born<br />
under bandmaster G. F. Sauer (the<br />
father of John Sauer who retired<br />
from playing cornet at the end of<br />
last year.)<br />
And Sumner has had its silver<br />
band on and off ever since.<br />
Peter Croft has played with<br />
them for the past 18 years.<br />
He said the reason for the name<br />
change could be because initially<br />
brass was cheaper than silver<br />
plated – but they were now about<br />
the same.<br />
The band meets for practice<br />
once a week on Thursday evenings,<br />
7.30-9pm at the Redcliffs<br />
Mt Pleasant Bowling Club.<br />
Mr Croft said anybody able<br />
to read music and play a ‘brass’<br />
instrument is welcome to join.<br />

Bid to revamp war memorial<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
NEW BRIGHTON’S south<br />
ramp and the war memorial<br />
could be revamped.<br />
The Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board has asked for<br />
$200,000 from the city council’s<br />
Long Term Plan <strong>2018</strong>-2028 for<br />
the project.<br />
The plan would include getting<br />
rid of the contentious anti-graffiti<br />
panels on the war memorial.<br />
Board chairwoman Kim<br />
Money said it would be a “collaborative<br />
project” with the<br />
New Brighton RSA and the<br />
community, which she hopes<br />
would showcase the foreshore<br />
area better, for the national and<br />
international events which are<br />
held there.<br />
“The idea has came about for<br />
various reasons, one being that<br />
the community and RSA were<br />
very disappointed with the look<br />
of the panels which had gone<br />
around the memorial.”<br />
“At the same time, we have had<br />
the lovely new development to<br />
the north of the pier and we have<br />
big events that we use the space<br />
south of the pier for . . . we want<br />
to take this opportunity to relook<br />
at that space because we are<br />
within a regeneration stage.”<br />
Coastal-Ward city councillors<br />
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />
Glenn Livingstone and David<br />
East have both expressed interest<br />
in supporting the project.<br />
“It’s a place of historical<br />
significance, it’s a gathering<br />
point on Anzac Day, we have<br />
huge crowds. It does need<br />
recognition in the council’s LTP,<br />
in some way, so David and I<br />
will be pursuing that,” said Cr<br />
Livingstone.<br />
“I will be keeping an open<br />
mind with a view to support that<br />
. . . obviously we have to balance<br />
all the needs around the city and<br />
if we can accommodate that it<br />
would be great,” said Cr East.<br />
The $25,000 anti-vandalism<br />
panels installed last July were<br />
criticised by the RSA and people<br />
in the community who called<br />
them “ugly.”<br />
The memorial was vandalised<br />
by graffiti in 2015.<br />
New Brighton RSA executive<br />
manager Garry House said<br />
the money was wasted and the<br />
community was not properly<br />

Keep the family safe and<br />
check your tyres before heading<br />
away for the school holidays<br />
As the school holidays approach and<br />
plans are made for winter road trips, now<br />
is the time to check that your tyres are in<br />
good condition, says Julie Hurst of JCM<br />
Direct, the tyre specialists in Birmingham<br />
Drive. Julie and her husband Athol own<br />
the business and are an independent<br />
family run new and second hand tyre shop<br />
with a passion for safety.<br />
Now that WOFs on later model vehicles<br />
are issued every 12 months, drivers may<br />
be unaware that their tyres are becoming<br />
worn, Julie says.<br />
“Come in and see us. We offer free tyre<br />
checks, so you can head away on holiday<br />
knowing they are roadworthy and your<br />
family is safe.”<br />
If tyres do need replacing, JCM Direct<br />
offers a wide variety of quality brands at<br />
very competitive prices. They have new<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 />

Ear Health Canterbury has been<br />
providing a microscopic ear cleaning<br />
service in Canterbury for 19 years<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 />
Rest Home residents and to people with<br />
mobility difficulties in their private<br />
homes.<br />
While a weekly clinic is still held in<br />
Ashburton, the South Canterbury clinics<br />
are now under new Management.<br />
Many conditions affecting the outer<br />
ear canal can be treated and monitored<br />
at Ear Health including infections,<br />
relieving impacted wax and removal of<br />
foreign bodies. Preventative education is<br />
also offered and for those with hearing<br />
aids due to sensorineural hearing loss<br />
Ear Health has accredited ACC and War<br />
Pension funding<br />
This safe, accessible, affordable ear<br />
care is provided to all age groups in a<br />
client focused environment with the<br />
nurses working collaboratively with<br />
General Practitioners, Audiologists,<br />
Hearing Therapists and Secondary Care<br />
Consultants.<br />
Maintaining good ear hygiene has<br />
many benefits. It can improve hearing<br />
and balance, reduce the symptoms of<br />
tinnitus, improve the effectiveness of<br />
hearing aids and reduce the incidence of<br />
aural infections. Most importantly, this<br />
then enhances quality of life.<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 />

installation and servicing of all major brands<br />

“Did you know your heat pump is an air<br />
conditioner?” BUT!! If you bought it for<br />
heating it will struggle to cool the area as<br />
cooling is always less output e.g. Mitsubishi<br />
Electric MSZGE42 = 5kW heating and 4.2kW<br />
cooling. So always ask your installer if you<br />
want cooling as well as heating. We at Air<br />
Con Christchurch always advise what we have<br />
quoted for.<br />
Cooling tips<br />
Select “Cooling” and set at 20 – 22 degrees this<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 />

Moisture in your home can cause mould<br />

It is also bad for the health of the occupants.<br />
Household cooking is a major source of<br />

intently then they laugh and have lunch<br />
together. They continue to sort out the world<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 />
access to a range of tertiary providers.<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 />
SOUTHERN VIEW<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

Medbury School is the only independent<br />

for both dayboys and boarders from<br />
Years 1 to 8. Medbury offers a traditional<br />
education, encompassing the Medbury values<br />
of manners and respect, and its vision is<br />
to provide an education which prepares boys<br />
for life in the 21st Century.<br />
Whilst placing a high value on Literacy and<br />
Numeracy in a ‘boys-only’ learning environment,<br />
Medbury also believes in helping boys<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 />
states, “Our passion at Medbury is to unlock<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 />
SOUTHERN VIEW<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 />
We look forward to welcoming all prospective<br />
students and their families/whanau to<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />
Experience the magic of Clifton Hill<br />
20 Tuawera Terrace, Sumner<br />
Price: $980,000<br />
3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 2 living rooms | 2 car-garage | 4 off-street parks | Listing #FM5389<br />
Homes like this on the middle slopes of<br />
Clifton Hill are seldom available, especially<br />
ones with so many possibilities to make your<br />
own and suit your lifestyle.<br />
Recent revitalisation throughout this<br />
two-level, 3 bedroom home has resulted in<br />
a ready-made opportunity to experience<br />
the joys of this location with dynamic and<br />
breath-taking views from the City and Alps,<br />
to New Brighton and the Pacific right up to<br />
Kaikoura.<br />
Easy drive-on access to the property,<br />
includes a double garage and ample offstreet<br />
parking including a separate space for<br />
boat or caravan parking. The home consists<br />
of 3 bedrooms, all with ample storage, and<br />
the master boasting a walk-in wardrobe and<br />
modern ensuite complete with underfloor<br />
heating. The living area is a great size, opening<br />
out to a huge north-west facing balcony for<br />
optimal sunshine, and also leads through to<br />
the kitchen with its compelling views of the<br />
ocean. The jewel in the crown of this home<br />
us the large upper level space - configurable<br />
as you please - equally rewarding as living<br />
area, enormous bedroom, or even a future<br />
kitchen and dining... and with the best views<br />
of the property to top off the experience.<br />
Outside, a massive back yard sprawls gently<br />
down the hill, with the upper portion easily<br />
made level to accommodate a pool or formal<br />
landscaping and living. For families, this<br />
space is invaluable, including 2 small sheds<br />
that can be used as play houses if desired.<br />
Fruit trees and established planting also<br />
complement the ample size of the section.<br />
Other features of the house include a log<br />
burner in the living area, storage under the<br />
house, new pathways and driveway, and 3<br />
toilets in total. Exposed timber beams add<br />
character to the living spaces, with rimu<br />
floors upstairs adding warmth, along with<br />
new carpets throughout and an additional<br />
heat pump.<br />
Open Home: Wednesdays, Saturdays and<br />
Sundays 11.30am – 12.15pm.<br />

Proposed Changes<br />
to Cashmere High<br />
School Zone<br />
Over recent years increasing in-zone<br />
student enrolments at Cashmere High<br />

seeking to manage this student roll<br />
growth with a review of our school zone<br />
with an aim to reduce our school roll.<br />
All information on the proposed zone<br />
changes is available on our school<br />
website (www.cashmere.school.nz)<br />
under ‘Latest News’.<br />
The Cashmere High School Board<br />
of Trustees are seeking community<br />
consultation on the proposed school<br />
