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

Noise
concern

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

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

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

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.

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

if it gains consent,
the Halswell

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

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

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

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.”

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

the people from the other side of
the world need to be engaged in
the life of the Halswell community
much more than at present.
So, how do people become
engaged in a community? Some
people have said that we need to
organise an event. Others have
said that we need to engage new
arrivals through the schools.
Yet others have said that
people should be encouraged to
share their stories through the
Halswell newsletter.
All of these are really good
ideas and various people are
working on them right now. But
there is something far simpler.
When you go for a walk, and you
meet someone, smile – or even

residents

even if it’s
as simple as
saying “hello”
to someone
on your walk.
SOUTHERN VIEW
Fire rages, homes at risk
say “hello”. It doesn’t need to be
any more than this.
At this basic level, just
acknowledging a person tells
them they are welcome, and that
they matter. It isn’t important
whether the person you encounter
looks like you, or looks quite
different. Underneath, we’re all
the same and we all need to feel
“at home”.
Once you have found that the
people you meet will often smile
back or smile back next time
they see you, you could think
about the next step.
So: who is the person living
next door to you? I remember
when we arrived in Halswell in
1991 as unwilling migrants from
Dunedin moving to get work.
Next door neighbours Keith and
Susan came over with a cake to
welcome us. What a wonderful
gesture. Why not try it? And if
you are from the other side of the
world or other side of the city –
welcome to Halswell!
Joanne McMaster –
Outstanding. This is exactly the
support we need, well done city

Golf club merger plan fails to tee off
• By Sophie Cornish
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

It sparked

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

Rawhiti Golf Club president
Leon Zilinskas said the club
had no definite opinion on the
matter.

favoured pool site on the corner of
Linwood Ave and Smith St to hand over
their individual feedback to Linwood-

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

The year 5 and 6 students delivered
their plea on the final day of site submissions,
saying they had included several

Year 6 pupil Reine Pene, 10, strongly
supports “the plan of putting the new
pool on the corner of Smith St.”
“It is important to know how to
swim,” she said.
“If we are lucky enough to have the
pool in Smith St, I would also like a diving
board to encourage people to conquer
their fear. I would also like a pool for
swimming lessons so people know how
to survive,” she said.
“I think they should have a good number

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

views matter and are taken into
account.”
Said Regenerate chief
executive Ivan Iafeta: “The same
land could be used in other

Ms Thomson said her writing class
pupils have made their views clear,
providing a very positive response to the
proposed pool site near the school.
Ms Buck said the youngsters have
highlighted their support for an indoor
pool in Smith St.
“We want the children to come to the
community board meeting and present
their case for the new pool site, underlining
its importance for the area,” she said.
All feedback will now be considered by
the pool project team and a site recommendation
will go to the community
board. A decision is expected mid year.

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.

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

Bid to revamp war memorial
• By Sophie Cornish
NEW BRIGHTON’S south
ramp and the war memorial
could be revamped.
The Coastal-Burwood Community
Board has asked for
$200,000 from the city council’s
Long Term Plan 2018-2028 for
the project.
The plan would include getting
rid of the contentious anti-graffiti
panels on the war memorial.
Board chairwoman Kim
Money said it would be a “collaborative
project” with the
New Brighton RSA and the
community, which she hopes
would showcase the foreshore
area better, for the national and
international events which are
held there.
“The idea has came about for
various reasons, one being that
the community and RSA were
very disappointed with the look
of the panels which had gone
around the memorial.”
“At the same time, we have had
the lovely new development to
the north of the pier and we have
big events that we use the space
south of the pier for . . . we want
to take this opportunity to relook
at that space because we are
within a regeneration stage.”
Coastal-Ward city councillors

Glenn Livingstone and David
East have both expressed interest
in supporting the project.
“It’s a place of historical

recognition in the council’s LTP,
in some way, so David and I

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

Pension funding
This safe, accessible, affordable ear
care is provided to all age groups in a
client focused environment with the

Hearing Therapists and Secondary Care
Consultants.
Maintaining good ear hygiene has
many benefits. It can improve hearing

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

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

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

landlord requirements. We have all major brands and offer the chance to win
a $5000 Gold Coast Holiday with every heat pump, insulation or ventilation
purchase prior to December 2018.
Summer cooling
“Did you know your heat pump is an air
conditioner?” BUT!! If you bought it for
heating it will struggle to cool the area as
cooling is always less output e.g. Mitsubishi

cooling. So always ask your installer if you
want cooling as well as heating. We at Air
Con Christchurch always advise what we have
quoted for.
Cooling tips
Select “Cooling” and set at 20 – 22 degrees this
will save you up to 30% running costs and still
be cool (try it and see). 16 degrees is too low.

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

Moisture in your home can cause mould

It is also bad for the health of the occupants.
Household cooking is a major source of

age.

discussing a wide range of issues in the next

and some I don’t and I can tell that they do
not all agree with each other. So they discuss
intently then they laugh and have lunch
together. They continue to sort out the world
and issues as far apart as Use of Technology,
Autonomous vehicles, Importance of Art,
Relevance of religion, Veganism, City
transport, Competition in sport, The moral
maze etc.

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.”

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.

offers individualised programmes giving students
access to a range of tertiary providers.
If you are looking for a Catholic faith-based

Cashmere High
School – future ready
The good thing about our unpredictable
and changeable future is that it comes one
day at a time – and humans have successfully
navigated dramatic changes and shifts
in periods of our history. Schools, like other
businesses, are busy thinking and planning
to best prepare for the complex modern
and technologically focused future world.
Cashmere is a school with clear direction in
a time of uncertainty.
Here at Cashmere High School
we are future ready, thanks to
our new property works,
successful implementation
of our BYOD (Bring Your
Own Device) programme,
personalised learning
pathways and consistently
excellent educational outcomes.
Mark Wilson, Principal
We have just completed Stage
1, and are well into Stage 2, of our
Christchurch Schools Rebuild programme.
This will deliver modern vibrant facilities
that provide good conditions (e.g. acoustics
and temperature), are digitally connected
(e.g. wifi), and allow for genuinely flexible
learning (e.g. both traditional and innovative
approaches). All our students use their own
digital device (BYOD) to learn not only the
content but also digital skills (e.g. cybersafey)
to equip them for the modern world.
SOUTHERN VIEW

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.

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

What’s important at Hagley, a school with a
160 year old history which makes it nearly as
old as Christchurch itself?
Our values matter. Those values
are seen in the relationships our
teachers build with each of our students.
It’s how we treat our students
that sets Hagley apart, valuing them
as individuals – that is the Hagley
way. What does that mean for our
students? They feel that teachers are
interested in them and care about
their learning, they feel that they’re

We’re often asked, what makes Hagley different?
We have a culture like no other. No one
wears a uniform and everyone’s on a first name
basis. But that’s just for starters. Students come
to Hagley because they’re treated with respect,
accepted for who they are as unique individuals.
They know it’s cool to be
different!
We love our students aiming
high and doing well. We
believe there is no single stereotype
for success. At Hagley
being successful comes in
many shapes and forms.

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

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
SOUTHERN VIEW

the formation of the heart so that it shapes
the character of each pupil to develop habits
of righteousness, compassion and integrity.
This formation of the mind and heart generates
responsiveness. We want our pupils to
engage in the society they live in, to be of
benefit and blessing in a practical way.
For Middleton Grange School, while our
academic results are of the highest level,
what is highly prized, is that our pupils
exercise wisdom, serve the community and
promote the well-being of others. It is about
forming the pupil to be the person God created
them to be.
All of this is summed up in the school
motto: Character, Excellence, Service for the
Glory of God.

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

Preparing students
for their future
Giving students the opportunity to study
from an innovative and broad curriculum is
critical to providing each student a pathway
that meets their individual needs. We
allow for a greater range and flexibility in
subject choice including the utilization of
the secondary/tertiary interface.
This reinforces the philosophy
underpinning personalised
learning and is strongly
supported by understanding
our students’
interests, passions,
talents, and ultimately
their career aspirations.
We understand that
for effective learning
to take place, it has to be
implemented in such a way
that students will be highly engaged.
The school does this in a ‘forward
thinking’ way by creating learning environments
that allow our students to see value in
what they do and achieve. Papanui “PRIDE”
is what we represent and we demonstrate
this by having young adults leave our school
as confident learners who have gained the
appropriate qualifications and social skills
to become valued contributing members of
society.
All that we do here is reinforced by positive
relationships, an ethos of caring, cultural
responsiveness, inclusion, and high expectations
