THE SOUNDS of mambo, 

rock ’n’ roll and jazz could be 

heard coming from the Christ’s 

College Assembly Hall last week 

as the Christ’s College and Rangi 

Ruru Girls’ School combined 

production West Side Story 

played out. 

More than 3200 people 

watched the performance over 

four nights, with the last show 

on Saturday evening. 

A collection took place at the 

end of each show, which raised 

$2500 for family violence charity, 

Aviva Families.

drama, David Chambers said it 

was one of the most satisfying 

collaborations he’s experienced. 

“The growth and development 

of the characters and performances 

was incredibly rewarding 

to see. The work of Rangi 

Ruru’s director of music, Janet 

Kingsbury – it was her guidance 

and passion; her commitment to 

the orchestra and the cast – she 

brought it together under her baton 

and took everyone with her.” 

Rangi Ruru’s director of 

theatre arts Peter Rutherford 

agreed saying Mrs Kingsbury’s 

energy and expertise were 

outstanding.

Call to 

improve 

cycle 

safety on 

Memorial 

Avenue 


A CALL has been made to 

improve cycle safety on Memorial 

Ave including extending cycle 

lanes and changes to parking 

management. 

In a city council Long Term 

Plan 2018-2028 submission last 

week, the Commodore Hotel 

expressed its interest in supporting 

an increase in cyclists using 

Memorial Ave, however, it said 

cyclists often have to compete 

with parked cars for space in the 

corridor. 

“This pushes cyclists out into 

the traffic lane encroaching into 

motorist’s space and creates an 

unsafe environment for all,” 

said the submission, presented 

by general manager Michael 

Patterson. 

Currently on-street parking on 

Memorial Ave is not subject to 

time restrictions or parking fees. 

The hotel is requesting parking 

restrictions be applied to reduce 

all-day parking near the airport 

and that ideas around parking 

clearways during peak hours and 

shared paths be considered.

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi 

from the reporter’s desk 

CYCLING HAS been a hot topic in the city council’s Long Term 

Plan submissions 2018-2028. 

The Memorial Ave corridor is a busy one and there has been 

calls to make it safer for cyclists (page 1). 

The Commodore Hotel is calling for the city council to amend 

the current parking along the avenue to ensure cyclists have 

enough space to ride safely. 26th August 2018 

This might see time restrictions on parking, meaning those 

who don’t want to pay for long-term 10am parking – at 3pm the airport 

might have to find somewhere else to park their cars. 

The hotel believes changes could Air benefit Force both Museum, Christchurch Wigram 

residents and tourists. Tickets available on door 

It expressed its interest in getting tourists using e-bikes and using 

the corridor as a way to connect the area to the central city. 

With the LTP submissions and hearings now complete, we 

will have to wait and see whether the city council believes it is a 

priority.

Condition of Belfast reserve “critical” 

Stormwater, 

litter prevents 

restoration 


ONE OF Christchurch’s “best 

kept secrets” is being damaged 

by untreated stormwater from 

Belfast. 

The Otukaikino Reserve’s 

lake and streams have litter, 

unwanted plant material and 

even dead eels 

flowing into 

them, which 

is becoming a 

“critical” problem 

to the reserve’s 

restoration, 

Matthew 

Brosnahan 

said reserve 

development 

ranger Matthew 

Brosnahan. 

Mr Brosnahan is calling 

for the Styx Storm Water 

Management Plan, which was 

previously scheduled for 2018- 

2021, to be included in the city 

council’s 2018-2028 Long Term 

Plan after it was pushed out to 

beyond June 2021. 

The 13ha freshwater Department 

of Conservation reserve 

at the northern entrance to the 

DAMAGED: Untreated stormwater from Belfast is flowing into the Otukaikino Reserve, causing 

damage which is hurting the reserve’s restoration. 

city is currently being restored 

following damage as a result of 

the earthquakes. The restoration 

work has been done by a combination 

of private enterprise 

– Lamb & Hayward – DOC, 

Environment Canterbury and 

community groups. 

For every funeral arranged 

by Lamb & Hayward, a native 

plant is established in the reserve 

which is a place of commemoration 

for family and friends. 

The management plan would 

see stormwater treated at a facility 

prior to entering the reserve, 

which is one of the few remaining 

wetlands in Christchurch. 

Mr Brosnahan said not only 

is the reserve not a burden on 

Christchurch ratepayers due to 

being privately funded, but it 

also has “significant cultural and 

ecological values.” 

“With the completion of 

Christchurch Northern Corridor 

in 2021, this will place the 

reserve as a significant visual 

feature at the northern entrance 

to Christchurch.” 

NZTA predicts 66,000 vehicle 

movements per day through this 

area by 2024.

In Brief 

SHIRLEY FACILITY SURVEY 

More than 40 responses have 

been received by city council staff 

after an engagement survey over 

a community facility at 10 Shirley 

Rd. The survey asked those living 

in the area what type of facility 

and activities they would like to 

see at the old Shirley Community 

Centre site. The city council 

and Papanui-Innes Community 

Board will now wait until the 

conclusion of the Long Term 

Plan process to see if funding 

is granted for a few facility. If 

funding is approved, a workshop 

will be held with the community 

board and an engagement and 

communications plan will be 

developed. 

GRAMPIAN ST TREES 

The city council will remove 

two trees at the site of the water 

supply station on Grampian 

St, Casebrook. The work will 

be carried out as part of the 

construction of a new water 

supply well within the pump 

station site. The trees were 

inspected by an arborist and 

found to be in poor condition. 

A white peppermint gum has 

structural defects and a silver 

birch is in poor condition due to 

excessive decay. Other smaller 

trees and shrubs may require 

removal for the installation of a 

new boundary fence. 

It doesn’t have to be new to be

Consider voting for community trust 

A community

worker from 

Bishopdale 

Community 

Trust Chris 

Coles talks about the 

trust’s bid to get funding 

through Z Energy’s Good 

In The Hood campaign 

THIS YEAR Bishopdale 

Community Trust will receive 

a proportion of the $4000 given 

away by Z Bishopdale service 

station as part of its Good In 

The Hood campaign. 

How much we receive depends 

on customers’ votes at the 

gas station. We’re asking every 

customer to consider voting for 

us, and here’s why. 

Our trust was formed in 1999 

and has been working to create 

a connected, inclusive and 

resilient Bishopdale ever since. 

We run Sundbye Community 

House at 100 Farrington Ave 

where we provide a wide variety 

of interesting, free or low cost 

activities to people in the wider 

Bishopdale area. 

We like to think we have 

something for everyone but are 

always open to suggestions of 

new activities. 

Currently you can enjoy 

scrabble, greeting card making, 

craft, 500 cards, two walking 

groups and yoga in addition to 

Monday coffee mornings and 

Thursday community lunches. 

We hate to think that anyone 

in Bishopdale feels isolated, 

alone or unappreciated so if you 

want to meet people, try a new 

activity, volunteer, or are just 

new to the area we would love 

you to drop in any time Monday 

to Thursday 10am-3pm. 

We work hard to ensure 

that Sundbye House is a very 

welcoming place and it’s often 

described by our community 

members as “a home away from 

home.” 

The trust is very proud to be 

part of community life in Bishopdale 

and we act as an information 

hub so that people can get

Call to make Memorial Ave safer 

•From page 1 

“The hotel has an interest in 

safer cycle access for it’s employees, 

tourist opportunities with 

e-bikes, families that regularly 

cycle along this route and as a organisation 

with a strong desire to 

see more people safely cycling on 

a comprehensive cycle network in 

Christchurch,” said the submission. 

The draft LTP currently 

proposes a $206m investment 

in the Major Cycleways Routes, 

however, none of these routes 

provide a direct link between the 

Christchurch International Airport 

and the central city, along 

Memorial Ave. 

Mr Patterson said along with 

key attractors at each end of the 

route (the airport and central 

city), there are many institutions 

that would benefit from improved 

cycle provisions including Burnside 

Park, Burnside High School, 

Christ The King Catholic School, 

Burnside Primary School, as well 

as thousands of residents. 

It acknowledged there are 

sections where parking removal 

would conflict with other community 

facilities, such as sports 

facilities at Burnside Park. 

In this location, a shared path 

facility on the footpath could be 

considered. 

Christchurch Airport 

development and compliance 

manager Felicity Blackmore 

supports the submission and said 

currently cycling to the airport 

now is only safe if you are an 

“expert cyclist.” 

“You have to be willing to take 

your life into your hands, most 

days, as a person who does this 

every day. The only way to get 

there is by driving your car essentially,” 

she said.

Support for lower speed limits 

Local 


Now 

In Brief 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

Feedback favours 

Harewood, 

Yaldhurst plan 


SUBMISSIONS made to the city 

council on lowering speed limits 

in Harewood and Yaldhurst 

show most people support the 

planned changes. 

The city council received 144 

submissions and said no changes 

have been made to 

the proposal as a 

result of consultation. 

Under the 

plan, parts of 

Sawyers Arms, 

Julie 

Greenwood 

Waimakariri, 

Harewood, 

Styx Mill and 

Gardiners Rds 

could all become 60km/h while 

parts of Highstead, Claridges, 

Hussey and Harewood Rd could 

be reduced to 50km/h from 

80km/h. 

The city council will now 

make recommendations to the 

Fendalton-Harewood-Waimairi 

Community Board, which will 

implement any changes. 

Harewood School principal 

Julie Greenwood said she is 

“very happy” the city council has 

indicated it supports lowering 

the speed limit outside of the 

school to 60km/h. 

Previously, Ms Greenwood 

encouraged people in the community 

to submit, and is pleased 

the feedback has been positive. 

“There was a lot of people that 

I didn’t know who submitted. It 

wasn’t just school families that 

were putting in submissions and 

making comments that there is 

a school, a playcentre and two 

churches nearby,” she said. 

For the Harewood area, 

218 submitters supported the 

planned changes, 38 didn’t and 

32 did not indicate. 

Hussey Rd received 94 submissions 

in support of changes to 

the speed limit, 16 did not support 

it and 34 did not indicate. 

For the Yaldhurst area, 85 

people were in support, eight did 

not and 51 did not indicate. 

A city council report previously 

said the lower speed 

limits would aim to address the 

changing nature of post-quake, 

north-west Christchurch with its 

recent and proposed residential

developments. 

The changes seek to mitigate 

the effects of increased traffic 

flows along previously rural 

roads and reduce the risk and 

severity of accidents to residents 

and users of these roads. 

Ms Greenwood said she plans 

to speak at the next community 

board meeting to discuss the 

possibility of the speed limit 

being dropped even lower to 

50km/h. 

“Anything that we can do 

to enhance the safety of our 

students is a priority,” she said. 

ORANA FUNDING SOUGHT 

Orana Wildlife Park has asked 

the city council to increase its 

operational fund to $500,000 

from $200,000. During the 

Long Term Plan hearings park 

chief executive Lynne Anderson 

said the current staffing levels 

were “unsustainable” and it 

needed support from the city 

council. 

BREAKFAST CLUB 

The Neighbourhood Links 

group for Northcote and 

Redwood are starting up 

a breakfast club. The first 

breakfast was held yesterday 

and will run every Monday 

and Wednesday at Northcote 

School from 8am. The breakfast 

is free and for people in the 

community to meet each other 

and receive support. 

ROAD CONFIGURATION 

Access turning left into QEII 

Drive from Grimseys Rd is 

now open, however, right turn 

access is still closed. Cars can’t 

enter Grimseys Rd from either 

direction on QEII Drive. This 

road configuration will continue 

until September 2018, and then 

the intersection will close again 

for about three months, before 

reopening with its final left-in 

and left-out layout.

Goals for tree-planting group 

TREES FOR Canterbury is on 

track to plant one million native 

trees and has set itself a new 

target of planting a million more. 

The group regularly works in 

partnership with the city council, 

donating plants for community 

planting days such as the one 

held earlier this month at Styx 

Mill Conservation Reserve, 

where close to 2000 native plants 

were planted. 

The not-for-profit nursery has 

been running since the 1990s and 

later this year hopes to chalk up 

a major milestone, achieving the 

planting of one million trees at 

sites around the city. 

A celebration of the milestone 

will be held at Travis Wetland 

Reserve in September. 

Trees for Canterbury manager 

Steve Bush, has been in the role 

since 1992 and is proud of what 

the organisation has achieved. 

“It is a true social enterprise in 

that 100 per cent of our income 

goes into the running of the 

nursery and carrying out our 

aims. It’s a real buzz to see the 

trees we’ve planted around the 

city and the region and know that 

we’ve helped create that legacy. 

You can go back years later and 

see a huge change, so it’s really 

fantastic.” 

When Mr Bush first started 

working for the organisation it 

was able to donate only a few

close to a milestone of planting one million native trees. 

thousand plants each year, now it 

donates about 45,000 annually. 

“We show up with lots of plants 

and encourage lots of people to 

come. For the recent Styx Mill 

planting day, we contributed 1950 

plants,” he said. 

All of the plant seedlings and 

trees that the nursery donates are 

eco-sourced. This means they 

are grown from seeds collected 


by volunteers from native trees 

growing in pockets of remnant 

native bush in Riccarton, on the 

Port Hills, and at locations on 

Banks Peninsula. 

Trees for Canterbury is holding 

10 community planting days this 

year and encourages everyone to 

go along and pitch in towards its 

goal of getting two million native 

trees planted. 


THE FIRST two consultation 

drop-in sessions for the 

proposed changes to Cranford 

St and the surrounding area 

were well attended by 

the community. 

The project has 

generated more than 

180 submissions so 

far since consultation 

opened on April 26. 

The project team 

answered questions 

and discussed the 

various options proposed 

with those who 

attended the drop-in 

sessions. 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board chairwoman Ali Jones 

said the consultation is on a

Education and Sydenham’s 180 

Degrees Alternative Education 

have been working together for 

several years. 

Mr Tiatia said the ongoing 

stigma against alternative education 

is “frustrating.” 

“The big monster called 

mainstream education doesn’t 

fit for all young people in 

Aotearoa. 

“That’s why the poor kids rock 

up to the space and all of a sudden 

it is stigmatised . . . unfortunately 

the more it is spoken of 

and the more it is heard, young 

people just end up believing it,” 

he said. 

But Mr Tiatia said the reality 

is if students come to one of 

the providers they will “feel the 

love” and a “sense of whanau.” 

He said alternative education 

students have often faced issues 

including anxiety, home issues 

or gaps in their learning which

will be conveyed in their art 

work. 

“We take every young person 

who comes through the door 

with all the stuff they bring and 

we carry them in order to educate 

them,” Mr Tiatia said. 

The biggest lesson Mr Tiatia 

learnt during his time on Survivor, 

which he takes to alternative 

education, is “life is precious and 

life can’t be taken for granted.” 

“That struggle I had for two 

whole months, imagine what 

these young people go through”.

STROWAN’S Debbie 

O’Donoghue is using research 

from experiences in Denmark 

and the United Kingdom 

for neonatal practices at 

Christchurch Women’s 

Hospital. 

The neonatal nurse 

manager at the hospital 

travelled on a Dame 

Malvina Major Travelling 

Fellowship in 2017, for four 

weeks to review the setup 

of intensive care 

neo-natal units and 

engage with staff. 

Since returning 

from her 

trip, Mrs 

O’Donoghue 

(right) has led the 

Christchurch neo-natal 

intensive care unit to 

develop an integrated care programme, 

by the development of a 

multidisciplinary steering group. 

The programme involves parent 

education, nursing education, 

addressing environmental issues 

such as noise and light, and providing 

psychosocial support. 

The fellowship was established 

with proceeds from Dame Malvina’s 

concert in Christchurch, 

towards the advancement of 

medical research. 

The Christchurch South Rotary 

Club provided some initial 




Neo-natal ideas for hospital 

funding to Dame Malvina in 

her singing career, which set her 

on a course to be recognised as 

international opera singer. 

The club helped organised the 

concert which raised the funds, 

which were then administered 

by the Canterbury 

Medical Research Foundation. 

During her trip Mrs 

O’Donoghue visited 

both Copenhagen 

and Kolding in 

Denmark, where 

fathers are paid 

to take time off 

work to support 

their infant 

babies. 

In England, 

Mrs 

O’Donoghue 

visited Plymouth, where the 

intensive care neo-natal unit 

has 18 beds, compared to 11 in 

Christchurch. 

The practice there is not to 

separate mothers and children. 

In all specialist units, both 

overseas and within New Zealand, 

the practice has moved 

from infant babies being located 

behind glass where mothers had 

limited direct involvement with 

their babies, to encouragement 

for mothers and families to be 

involved in all aspects of the stay.

Fendalton centre lands 

starting role with Rams 

SPORTS 

• By Jacob Page 

MAX DARLING is the epitome 

of what the Canterbury Rams 

are in 2018. 

Young, hungry and eager to 

prove themselves. 

The former Christ’s College 

pupil, who is based in Fendalton, 

is still coming to terms with 

his starting 

role for the 

franchise. 

The Rams 

had two wins 

over the weekend 

against 

the Nelson 

Giants, 104- 

Mark Dickel 

90, and Super 

City Rangers, 

98-83, putting 

them at the top of the table with 

four wins and one loss 

“It was quite a shock to find 

out that I’d have this role,” Darling 

said. 

“I was expecting 10-15min a 

game but this has been something 

new.” 

The talented 18-year-old transferred 

from Nelson College to 

Christ’s for his final year of 

secondary school in 

2017. 

He praised Rams coach 

Mark Dickel as being the 

main reason for the 

move. 

“He’s had a big 

impact on me and 

still does obviously.” 

Darling’s role 

as a 192cm 

forward is to 

rebound and 

protect the 

basket. 

That’s no 

small task 

considering 

the vast experience 

other 

teams 

have 

with 

former Tall 

Blacks’ Alex Pledger 

and Dillon Boucher 

just two names 

matched-up against 

Darling. 

“Going up against 

Alex Pledger like I 

did last week made 

me nervous when I 

thought about it, but once you 

get into the game, you’re often 

BIG MAN: Canterbury 

Rams teenager Max 

Darling is proving to 

be a sensation for the 

youthful team. 

too focussed to think 

about it,” Darling 

said. The Rams 

are in the hunt for 

the top four and 

Darling says that is 

the goal. 

“We are a young 

team but we all 

get on great,” he 

said. 

“To make the 

play-offs would 

be a great effort.” 

Darling is 

eager to test his 

talents offshore 

and said there 

was interest in him 

from colleges in the 

United States which 

are looking to get 

him to commit to a 

scholarship, although 

nothing has been 

confirmed. 

The Rams return 

home to Cowles 

Stadium to play the 

Taranaki Mountain Airs on 

Saturday. 

PAPANUI softballer Jackson 

Watt has had a breakthrough 

year. 

The 20-year-old former 

Christchurch Boys’ High pupil 

has plenty to celebrate having 

been selected to make his Black 

Sox debut later this year and 

being named Canterbury men’s 

softball player of the year. 

Watt has been in the sport 

since he started playing teeball at 

the age of four, and has played all 

of his games for Papanui. 

The right-fielder, who bats 

clean-up, has been at the top of 

the home run and runs batted 

in statistics but chose to deflect 

praise onto his teammates. 

“Hitting home runs is always 

great but you want to be productive 

at the plate and it’s a credit 

to the guys in front of me in the 

line up for getting on base and, 

fortunately, I’ve had a few good 

swings and been able to score 

them,” he said. 

Watt also pitches occasionally 

for his club team and is motivated 

to ensure he gives back to 

a sport which has given him so 

much. 

“I’ve been part of a great club 

and Canterbury Softball has 

invested a lot in me, so I want to 

make sure I make the most of 

every opportunity.” 

Watt, who also plays premier 

softball with his brother Nathan, 

says to be selected for the Black 

Sox is a real thrill. 


Up-and-coming Papanui 

slugger makes Black Sox 

IMPACT: Jackson Watt will 

make his Black Sox debut 

later this year. 

“To be part of a team which 

has such a big legacy and to play 

with some of the experienced 

legends.” 

The Black Sox, currently 

ranked No 1 in the world, will 

play Japan (2), Argentina (3), 

United States (6), Czech Republic 

(7), Denmark (11) and Botswana 

(12) in the five-day Intercontinental 

Cup series in Prague from 

August 28 to September 1.

West End theatre 

company stops off 

at St Margaret’s 



AN international performance 

company which has featured 

on Broadway and the West End 

has visited St Margaret’s College 

to run a workshop with 

students. 

The Stomp company has 

performed globally for the past 

26 years, using eight performers 

and an array of ordinary, every 

day objects, such as lighters, bin 

lids and even kitchen sinks, to 

create music. 

As part of a middle school 

music unit, year 8 students at St 

Margaret’s have been learning 

about percussion instruments 

using recycled objects. 

A cast from Stomp ran a 

workshop with the students as 

well as performing a snippet 

of their act for years 4-10 

students. 

The group performed seven 

shows at Issac Theatre Royal last 

week. 

Said performing arts 

teacher Rachel Wilford: “Their 

energy and enthusiasm was 

catching and the girls enjoyed 

their visit, particularly the 

hands-on workshop where the 

girls were able to improvise 

rhythms and work with their 

props such as brooms and 

sticks.” 

It is the second time the Stomp 

company has performed in New 

Zealand, following a sell-out visit 

in 2013. 

ON STAGE: (Left) – St Margaret’s 

College year 8 students Lauren 

Warne, Cass Causer, Isabella 

Shatford and Olivia Ferguson making

SCHOOLS 

LEARNING HOLIDAY: 

Students from Shirley 

Boys’ High School and Villa 

Maria College visiting the 

Colesseum in Rome. 

STUDENTS FROM Shirley Boys’ 

High School have just come back 

from a European adventure over 

the holidays. 

They travelled to Greece and 

Italy with students from Villa 

Maria College as part of their 

classics tour. 

The tour began in Athens, 

Greece, and went to classical 

sites including the buildings on 

the Acropolis, the Temple of 

Hephaestus, and the old Greek 

Agora. 

“The traditional Greek dancing 

night was very entertaining, 

as was witnessing the students 

haggling in the Plaka market 

area. From Athens we went south 

to the Peloponnese, and visited 

the towns of Corinth, Nafplio, 

Sparta, Mystras and Olympia,” 

Villa Maria teacher in charge of 

classical studies, Simone Bailey, 

said. 

From Greece, the group travelled 

to Italy, basing themselves 

in Sorrento. 

The students, along with 

the parents and teachers 

accompanying the group, visited 

the preserved city of Pompeii, a 

UNESCO world heritage site, to 

experience how the Romans lived 

during the first century. 

In Rome, the group visited 

many different classical sites, 

including the Colosseum, Roman 

Forum, Ara Pacis Augustae, 

Trajan’s Column, and the 

Pantheon. 

“A visit to the Vatican 

museums, the Sistine Chapel and 

St Peter’s Basilica was an aweinspiring 

time for students,” said 

Miss Bailey. A “highlight” of the 

trip was being part of the papal 

general audience in St Peter’s 

Square, she said. 

“As a Catholic school, it was 

an amazing opportunity for 

students to see and listen to 

the pope, and to see him on his 

famous pope-mobile. He spoke 

of peace and unity in the world, 

and blessed us and our families,” 

Miss Bailey said. 

The occasion would be treasured 

by the students for a long 

time, she said.

Redwood Primary embraces sign language 

Every day use earns award 


REDWOOD PRIMARY School 

has won the New Zealand 

Sign Language schools’ award 

for its efforts to incorporate 

the language into its school 

curriculum and daily life. 

The pupils and teachers use 

sign language each day, which is 

one of three official New Zealand 

languages used at the school. 

The others are English and 

Maori. The school uses sign 

language as a result of the work 

of staff members and deaf pupil 

Courtney Burcher. 

Two staff members travelled 

to Parliament to attend the New 

Zealand Sign Language ceremony 

and recieve the award. 

Principal John Stackhouse said 

he was very proud. Many of the 

pupils who have begun to learn 

sign language can now chat with 

Courtney and sign to her. 

“Courtney and her family have 

opened up new learning and 

understanding for us as a school. 

The work done by those who have 

taught Courtney is amazing, but 

also the way the rest of the staff, 

our pupils and some parents are 

picking up sign language – it has 

been fantastic.” 

Mr Stackhouse said a large 

body of reliable research shows 

that, if children can learn 

other languages, it brings better 

outcomes for them in all their 

learning. 

The school aims to continue 

to strengthen its use of sign language 

further. 

WIN: Redwood Primary year

Intermeadiate pupils have 

collected unwanted items from 

their classmates to donate to

learning programme. 

As part of their inquiry 

learning, Sarah Crook and Mia 

Chee-Quill had to do something 

to demonstrate how they had the 

power to make changes in the 

world they live in. 

The two girls decided to help 

the Salvation Army by collecting 

unwanted clothes, shoes, toys and 

books from the their classmates 

and teachers and held a schoolwide 

competition to see which 

room could collect the most 

items. 

The winners were given prizes 

sponsored by The Warehouse.

TWO PUPILS from Waimairi 

School got the opportunity 

to ride in a 1956 Buick after 

winning a raffle at the school’s

As part of the Ministry of 

Education’s Christchurch 

schools’ rebuild programme, 

the school is receiving earthquake 

repairs and upgrades. 

The money raised from the 

school fair will go towards new 

landscaping and playgrounds. 

“The fair was successful in 

creating an opportunity to 

bring the community together, 

whilst supporting the school 

with its upcoming redevelopment,” 

said principal Mike 

Anderson. 

Prizes from the raffles 

included a flight in a Garden 

City helicopter over the school, 

a ride in a police car, a ride to 

school in a Blackwell’s Holden 

HSV and a ride in the Buick. 

The pupils were heavily involved 

with the fair by creating 

items to sell, running games, 

delivering flyers, making signs 

and helping on the day.

insurer and are selling the 2 properties 

combined on an ‘as is, where is’ basis. 

On offer is two 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom 

apartments that both feature extremely 

spacious open plan living, and modern 

kitchen/dining area. The views from these 

properties are worth the visit alone with the 

top floor apartment having uninterrupted 

panoramic views. Both offer the space of 

a traditional family home combined with 

the easy-care benefits of apartment living, 

including an inbuilt lift! 

Set on the lower slopes of Cashmere, you 

are within walking distance to a great choice 

of cafes as well as being close to Cashmere 

Primary School and in the Cashmere High 

School. 

For those looking for a home plus income 

why not live in one apartment and rent out 

the other? This also makes a great buying 

option for extended families. 

Make no mistake the decision to sell has 

been made and there is no looking back 

so ensure you book your viewing ASAP, 

options like this rarely come to the market 

and there can only be one new owner. 

Please note that 2A & 2B properties are to 

be sold together.
