THE SOUNDS of mambo,<br />
rock ’n’ roll and jazz could be<br />
heard coming from the Christ’s<br />
College Assembly Hall last week<br />
as the Christ’s College and Rangi<br />
Ruru Girls’ School combined<br />
production West Side Story<br />
played out.<br />
More than 3200 people<br />
watched the performance over<br />
four nights, with the last show<br />
on Saturday evening.<br />
A collection took place at the<br />
end of each show, which raised<br />

drama, David Chambers said it<br />
was one of the most satisfying<br />
collaborations he’s experienced.<br />
“The growth and development<br />
of the characters and performances<br />
was incredibly rewarding<br />
to see. The work of Rangi<br />
Ruru’s director of music, Janet<br />
Kingsbury – it was her guidance<br />
and passion; her commitment to<br />
the orchestra and the cast – she<br />
brought it together under her baton<br />
and took everyone with her.”<br />
Rangi Ruru’s director of<br />

agreed saying Mrs Kingsbury’s<br />
energy and expertise were<br />
outstanding.<br />

Call to<br />
improve<br />
cycle<br />
safety on<br />
Memorial<br />
Avenue<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
A CALL has been made to<br />
improve cycle safety on Memorial<br />
Ave including extending cycle<br />
lanes and changes to parking<br />
management.<br />
In a city council Long Term<br />
Plan <strong>2018</strong>-2028 submission last<br />
week, the Commodore Hotel<br />
expressed its interest in supporting<br />
an increase in cyclists using<br />
Memorial Ave, however, it said<br />
cyclists often have to compete<br />
with parked cars for space in the<br />
corridor.<br />
“This pushes cyclists out into<br />
the traffic lane encroaching into<br />
motorist’s space and creates an<br />
unsafe environment for all,”<br />
said the submission, presented<br />
by general manager Michael<br />
Patterson.<br />
Currently on-street parking on<br />
Memorial Ave is not subject to<br />
time restrictions or parking fees.<br />
The hotel is requesting parking<br />
restrictions be applied to reduce<br />
all-day parking near the airport<br />
and that ideas around parking<br />
clearways during peak hours and<br />
shared paths be considered.<br />

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />
from the reporter’s desk<br />
CYCLING HAS been a hot topic in the city council’s Long Term<br />
Plan submissions <strong>2018</strong>-2028.<br />
The Memorial Ave corridor is a busy one and there has been<br />
calls to make it safer for cyclists (page 1).<br />
The Commodore Hotel is calling for the city council to amend<br />
the current parking along the avenue to ensure cyclists have<br />
enough space to ride safely. 26th August <strong>2018</strong><br />
This might see time restrictions on parking, meaning those<br />
who don’t want to pay for long-term 10am parking – at 3pm the airport<br />
might have to find somewhere else to park their cars.<br />
The hotel believes changes could Air benefit Force both Museum, Christchurch Wigram<br />
residents and tourists. Tickets available on door<br />
It expressed its interest in getting tourists using e-bikes and using<br />
the corridor as a way to connect the area to the central city.<br />
With the LTP submissions and hearings now complete, we<br />
will have to wait and see whether the city council believes it is a<br />
priority.<br />

Condition of Belfast reserve “critical”<br />
Stormwater,<br />
litter prevents<br />
restoration<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
ONE OF Christchurch’s “best<br />
kept secrets” is being damaged<br />
by untreated stormwater from<br />
Belfast.<br />
The Otukaikino Reserve’s<br />
lake and streams have litter,<br />
unwanted plant material and<br />
even dead eels<br />
flowing into<br />
them, which<br />
is becoming a<br />
“critical” problem<br />
to the reserve’s<br />
restoration,<br />
Matthew<br />
Brosnahan<br />
said reserve<br />
development<br />
ranger Matthew<br />
Brosnahan.<br />
Mr Brosnahan is calling<br />
for the Styx Storm Water<br />
Management Plan, which was<br />
previously scheduled for <strong>2018</strong>-<br />
2021, to be included in the city<br />
council’s <strong>2018</strong>-2028 Long Term<br />
Plan after it was pushed out to<br />
beyond June 2021.<br />
The 13ha freshwater Department<br />
of Conservation reserve<br />
at the northern entrance to the<br />
DAMAGED: Untreated stormwater from Belfast is flowing into the Otukaikino Reserve, causing<br />
damage which is hurting the reserve’s restoration.<br />
city is currently being restored<br />
following damage as a result of<br />
the earthquakes. The restoration<br />
work has been done by a combination<br />
of private enterprise<br />
– Lamb & Hayward – DOC,<br />
Environment Canterbury and<br />
community groups.<br />
For every funeral arranged<br />
by Lamb & Hayward, a native<br />
plant is established in the reserve<br />
which is a place of commemoration<br />
for family and friends.<br />
The management plan would<br />
see stormwater treated at a facility<br />
prior to entering the reserve,<br />
which is one of the few remaining<br />
wetlands in Christchurch.<br />
Mr Brosnahan said not only<br />
is the reserve not a burden on<br />
Christchurch ratepayers due to<br />
being privately funded, but it<br />
also has “significant cultural and<br />
ecological values.”<br />
“With the completion of<br />
Christchurch Northern Corridor<br />
in 2021, this will place the<br />
reserve as a significant visual<br />
feature at the northern entrance<br />
to Christchurch.”<br />
NZTA predicts 66,000 vehicle<br />
movements per day through this<br />
area by 2024.<br />

SHIRLEY FACILITY SURVEY<br />
More than 40 responses have<br />
been received by city council staff<br />
after an engagement survey over<br />
a community facility at 10 Shirley<br />
Rd. The survey asked those living<br />
in the area what type of facility<br />
and activities they would like to<br />
see at the old Shirley Community<br />
Centre site. The city council<br />
and Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board will now wait until the<br />
conclusion of the Long Term<br />
Plan process to see if funding<br />
is granted for a few facility. If<br />
funding is approved, a workshop<br />
will be held with the community<br />
board and an engagement and<br />
communications plan will be<br />
developed.<br />
GRAMPIAN ST TREES<br />
The city council will remove<br />
two trees at the site of the water<br />
supply station on Grampian<br />
St, Casebrook. The work will<br />
be carried out as part of the<br />
construction of a new water<br />
supply well within the pump<br />
station site. The trees were<br />
inspected by an arborist and<br />
found to be in poor condition.<br />
A white peppermint gum has<br />
structural defects and a silver<br />
birch is in poor condition due to<br />
excessive decay. Other smaller<br />
trees and shrubs may require<br />
removal for the installation of a<br />
new boundary fence.<br />

Bishopdale<br />
Community<br />
Trust Chris<br />
Coles talks about the<br />
trust’s bid to get funding<br />
through Z Energy’s Good<br />
In The Hood campaign<br />
THIS YEAR Bishopdale<br />
Community Trust will receive<br />
a proportion of the $4000 given<br />
away by Z Bishopdale service<br />
station as part of its Good In<br />
The Hood campaign.<br />
How much we receive depends<br />
on customers’ votes at the<br />
gas station. We’re asking every<br />
customer to consider voting for<br />
us, and here’s why.<br />
Our trust was formed in 1999<br />
and has been working to create<br />
a connected, inclusive and<br />
resilient Bishopdale ever since.<br />
We run Sundbye Community<br />
House at 100 Farrington Ave<br />
where we provide a wide variety<br />
of interesting, free or low cost<br />
activities to people in the wider<br />
Bishopdale area.<br />
We like to think we have<br />
something for everyone but are<br />
always open to suggestions of<br />
new activities.<br />
Currently you can enjoy<br />
scrabble, greeting card making,<br />
craft, 500 cards, two walking<br />
groups and yoga in addition to<br />
Monday coffee mornings and<br />
Thursday community lunches.<br />
We hate to think that anyone<br />
in Bishopdale feels isolated,<br />
alone or unappreciated so if you<br />
want to meet people, try a new<br />
activity, volunteer, or are just<br />
new to the area we would love<br />
you to drop in any time Monday<br />
to Thursday 10am-3pm.<br />
We work hard to ensure<br />
that Sundbye House is a very<br />
welcoming place and it’s often<br />
described by our community<br />
members as “a home away from<br />
home.”<br />
The trust is very proud to be<br />
part of community life in Bishopdale<br />
and we act as an information<br />
hub so that people can get<br />

Bishopdale community to<br />

at bishopdaledirectory.org.nz<br />
and in our quarterly newsletter<br />
The Bishopdale Bulletin which is<br />
delivered to 3000 homes in the<br />
area.<br />
When the local community<br />
requested a family, fun day<br />
the trust created the annual<br />
Celebrate Bishopdale festival<br />
which, from humble beginnings<br />
in 2013, now attracts more than<br />
2000 people.<br />

Call to make Memorial Ave safer<br />
•From page 1<br />
“The hotel has an interest in<br />
safer cycle access for it’s employees,<br />
tourist opportunities with<br />
e-bikes, families that regularly<br />
cycle along this route and as a organisation<br />
with a strong desire to<br />
see more people safely cycling on<br />
a comprehensive cycle network in<br />
Christchurch,” said the submission.<br />
The draft LTP currently<br />
proposes a $206m investment<br />
in the Major Cycleways Routes,<br />
however, none of these routes<br />
provide a direct link between the<br />
Christchurch International Airport<br />
and the central city, along<br />
Memorial Ave.<br />
Mr Patterson said along with<br />
key attractors at each end of the<br />
route (the airport and central<br />
city), there are many institutions<br />
that would benefit from improved<br />
cycle provisions including Burnside<br />
Park, Burnside High School,<br />
Christ The King Catholic School,<br />
Burnside Primary School, as well<br />
as thousands of residents.<br />
It acknowledged there are<br />
sections where parking removal<br />
would conflict with other community<br />
facilities, such as sports<br />
facilities at Burnside Park.<br />
In this location, a shared path<br />
facility on the footpath could be<br />
considered.<br />
Christchurch Airport<br />
development and compliance<br />
manager Felicity Blackmore<br />
supports the submission and said<br />
currently cycling to the airport<br />
now is only safe if you are an<br />
“expert cyclist.”<br />
“You have to be willing to take<br />
your life into your hands, most<br />
days, as a person who does this<br />
every day. The only way to get<br />
there is by driving your car essentially,”<br />
she said.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Feedback favours<br />
Harewood,<br />
Yaldhurst plan<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
SUBMISSIONS made to the city<br />
council on lowering speed limits<br />
in Harewood and Yaldhurst<br />
show most people support the<br />
planned changes.<br />
The city council received 144<br />
submissions and said no changes<br />
have been made to<br />
the proposal as a<br />
result of consultation.<br />
Under the<br />
plan, parts of<br />
Sawyers Arms,<br />
Julie<br />
Greenwood<br />
Waimakariri,<br />
Harewood,<br />
Styx Mill and<br />
Gardiners Rds<br />
could all become 60km/h while<br />
parts of Highstead, Claridges,<br />
Hussey and Harewood Rd could<br />
be reduced to 50km/h from<br />
80km/h.<br />
The city council will now<br />
make recommendations to the<br />
Fendalton-Harewood-Waimairi<br />
Community Board, which will<br />
implement any changes.<br />
Harewood School principal<br />
Julie Greenwood said she is<br />
“very happy” the city council has<br />
indicated it supports lowering<br />
the speed limit outside of the<br />
school to 60km/h.<br />
Previously, Ms Greenwood<br />
encouraged people in the community<br />
to submit, and is pleased<br />
the feedback has been positive.<br />
“There was a lot of people that<br />
I didn’t know who submitted. It<br />
wasn’t just school families that<br />
were putting in submissions and<br />
making comments that there is<br />
a school, a playcentre and two<br />
churches nearby,” she said.<br />
For the Harewood area,<br />
218 submitters supported the<br />
planned changes, 38 didn’t and<br />
32 did not indicate.<br />
Hussey Rd received 94 submissions<br />
in support of changes to<br />
the speed limit, 16 did not support<br />
it and 34 did not indicate.<br />
For the Yaldhurst area, 85<br />
people were in support, eight did<br />
not and 51 did not indicate.<br />
A city council report previously<br />
said the lower speed<br />
limits would aim to address the<br />
changing nature of post-quake,<br />
north-west Christchurch with its<br />
recent and proposed residential<br />

developments.<br />
The changes seek to mitigate<br />
the effects of increased traffic<br />
flows along previously rural<br />
roads and reduce the risk and<br />
severity of accidents to residents<br />
and users of these roads.<br />
Ms Greenwood said she plans<br />
to speak at the next community<br />
board meeting to discuss the<br />
possibility of the speed limit<br />
being dropped even lower to<br />
50km/h.<br />
“Anything that we can do<br />
to enhance the safety of our<br />
students is a priority,” she said.<br />
ORANA FUNDING SOUGHT<br />
Orana Wildlife Park has asked<br />
the city council to increase its<br />
operational fund to $500,000<br />
from $200,000. During the<br />
Long Term Plan hearings park<br />
chief executive Lynne Anderson<br />
said the current staffing levels<br />
were “unsustainable” and it<br />
needed support from the city<br />
council.<br />
BREAKFAST CLUB<br />
The Neighbourhood Links<br />
group for Northcote and<br />
Redwood are starting up<br />
a breakfast club. The first<br />
breakfast was held yesterday<br />
and will run every Monday<br />

trees and has set itself a new<br />
target of planting a million more.<br />
The group regularly works in<br />
partnership with the city council,<br />
donating plants for community<br />
planting days such as the one<br />
held earlier this month at Styx<br />
Mill Conservation Reserve,<br />
where close to 2000 native plants<br />
were planted.<br />
The not-for-profit nursery has<br />
been running since the 1990s and<br />
later this year hopes to chalk up<br />
a major milestone, achieving the<br />
planting of one million trees at<br />
sites around the city.<br />
A celebration of the milestone<br />
will be held at Travis Wetland<br />
Reserve in September.<br />
Trees for Canterbury manager<br />
Steve Bush, has been in the role<br />
since 1992 and is proud of what<br />
the organisation has achieved.<br />
“It is a true social enterprise in<br />
that 100 per cent of our income<br />
goes into the running of the<br />
nursery and carrying out our<br />
aims. It’s a real buzz to see the<br />
trees we’ve planted around the<br />
city and the region and know that<br />
we’ve helped create that legacy.<br />
You can go back years later and<br />
see a huge change, so it’s really<br />
fantastic.”<br />
When Mr Bush first started<br />
working for the organisation it<br />
was able to donate only a few<br />
PROUD: Trees for Canterbury manager Steve Bush is proud<br />
of what the not-for-profit organisation has achieved as it gets<br />
close to a milestone of planting one million native trees.<br />
thousand plants each year, now it<br />
donates about 45,000 annually.<br />
“We show up with lots of plants<br />
and encourage lots of people to<br />
come. For the recent Styx Mill<br />
planting day, we contributed 1950<br />
plants,” he said.<br />
All of the plant seedlings and<br />
trees that the nursery donates are<br />
eco-sourced. This means they<br />
are grown from seeds collected<br />

Students combine for exhibition<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
AN ARTWORK exhibition<br />
capturing the struggles the city’s<br />
youth faces today is on display<br />
in the central city.<br />
Students from five of the<br />
city’s alternative education programmes<br />
have collaborated to<br />
present mixed media art exhibition<br />
A Chance To Be Heard.<br />
Headed by former Survivor<br />
New Zealand and Te Kaupapa<br />
Whakaora manager Salatielu<br />
Tiatia, A Chance To Be Heard<br />
aims to fight the ongoing stigma<br />
against alternative education.<br />
He said a mixture of work<br />
from carving, painting to kapa<br />
haka and rap will be on display<br />
as part of Youth Week, “communicating<br />
everything under the<br />
sun.”<br />
“Art has no boundaries, that<br />
is the thing we want to communicate.”<br />
Programmes Te Kaupapa<br />
Whakaora in Papanui, Te Kupenga<br />

Kimihia Adventure Programme,<br />
Hornby’s Tumanako Alternative<br />
Education and Sydenham’s 180<br />
Degrees Alternative Education<br />
have been working together for<br />
several years.<br />
Mr Tiatia said the ongoing<br />
stigma against alternative education<br />
is “frustrating.”<br />
“The big monster called<br />
mainstream education doesn’t<br />
fit for all young people in<br />
Aotearoa.<br />
“That’s why the poor kids rock<br />
up to the space and all of a sudden<br />
it is stigmatised . . . unfortunately<br />
the more it is spoken of<br />
and the more it is heard, young<br />
people just end up believing it,”<br />
he said.<br />
But Mr Tiatia said the reality<br />
is if students come to one of<br />
the providers they will “feel the<br />
love” and a “sense of whanau.”<br />
He said alternative education<br />
students have often faced issues<br />
including anxiety, home issues<br />
or gaps in their learning which<br />
EXPRESSION:<br />
An art exhibition<br />
showing the<br />
struggles youth<br />
face today will<br />
be on display<br />
this week.<br />
will be conveyed in their art<br />
work.<br />
“We take every young person<br />
who comes through the door<br />
with all the stuff they bring and<br />
we carry them in order to educate<br />
them,” Mr Tiatia said.<br />
The biggest lesson Mr Tiatia<br />
learnt during his time on Survivor,<br />
which he takes to alternative<br />
education, is “life is precious and<br />
life can’t be taken for granted.”<br />
“That struggle I had for two<br />
whole months, imagine what<br />
these young people go through”.<br />

STROWAN’S Debbie<br />
O’Donoghue is using research<br />
from experiences in Denmark<br />
and the United Kingdom<br />
for neonatal practices at<br />
Christchurch Women’s<br />
Hospital.<br />
The neonatal nurse<br />
manager at the hospital<br />
travelled on a Dame<br />
Malvina Major Travelling<br />
Fellowship in 2017, for four<br />
weeks to review the setup<br />
of intensive care<br />
neo-natal units and<br />
engage with staff.<br />
Since returning<br />
from her<br />
trip, Mrs<br />
O’Donoghue<br />
(right) has led the<br />
Christchurch neo-natal<br />
intensive care unit to<br />
develop an integrated care programme,<br />
by the development of a<br />
multidisciplinary steering group.<br />
The programme involves parent<br />
education, nursing education,<br />
addressing environmental issues<br />
such as noise and light, and providing<br />
psychosocial support.<br />
The fellowship was established<br />
with proceeds from Dame Malvina’s<br />
concert in Christchurch,<br />
towards the advancement of<br />
medical research.<br />
The Christchurch South Rotary<br />
Club provided some initial<br />

Neo-natal ideas for hospital<br />
funding to Dame Malvina in<br />
her singing career, which set her<br />
on a course to be recognised as<br />
international opera singer.<br />
The club helped organised the<br />
concert which raised the funds,<br />
which were then administered<br />
by the Canterbury<br />
Medical Research Foundation.<br />
During her trip Mrs<br />
O’Donoghue visited<br />
both Copenhagen<br />
and Kolding in<br />
Denmark, where<br />
fathers are paid<br />
to take time off<br />
work to support<br />
their infant<br />
babies.<br />
In England,<br />
Mrs<br />
O’Donoghue<br />
visited Plymouth, where the<br />
intensive care neo-natal unit<br />
has 18 beds, compared to 11 in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
The practice there is not to<br />
separate mothers and children.<br />
In all specialist units, both<br />
overseas and within New Zealand,<br />
the practice has moved<br />
from infant babies being located<br />
behind glass where mothers had<br />
limited direct involvement with<br />
their babies, to encouragement<br />
for mothers and families to be<br />
involved in all aspects of the stay.<br />

Fendalton centre lands<br />
starting role with Rams<br />
SPORTS<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
MAX DARLING is the epitome<br />
of what the Canterbury Rams<br />
are in <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
Young, hungry and eager to<br />
prove themselves.<br />
The former Christ’s College<br />
pupil, who is based in Fendalton,<br />
is still coming to terms with<br />
his starting<br />
role for the<br />
franchise.<br />
The Rams<br />
had two wins<br />
over the weekend<br />
against<br />
the Nelson<br />
Giants, 104-<br />
Mark Dickel<br />
90, and Super<br />
City Rangers,<br />
98-83, putting<br />
them at the top of the table with<br />
four wins and one loss<br />
“It was quite a shock to find<br />
out that I’d have this role,” Darling<br />
said.<br />
“I was expecting 10-15min a<br />
game but this has been something<br />
new.”<br />
The talented 18-year-old transferred<br />
from Nelson College to<br />
Christ’s for his final year of<br />
secondary school in<br />
2017.<br />
He praised Rams coach<br />
Mark Dickel as being the<br />
main reason for the<br />
move.<br />
“He’s had a big<br />
impact on me and<br />
still does obviously.”<br />
Darling’s role<br />
as a 192cm<br />
forward is to<br />
rebound and<br />
protect the<br />
basket.<br />
That’s no<br />
small task<br />
considering<br />
the vast experience<br />
other<br />
teams<br />
have<br />
with<br />
former Tall<br />
Blacks’ Alex Pledger<br />
and Dillon Boucher<br />
just two names<br />
matched-up against<br />
Darling.<br />
“Going up against<br />
Alex Pledger like I<br />
did last week made<br />
me nervous when I<br />
thought about it, but once you<br />
get into the game, you’re often<br />
BIG MAN: Canterbury<br />
Rams teenager Max<br />
Darling is proving to<br />
be a sensation for the<br />
youthful team.<br />
too focussed to think<br />
about it,” Darling<br />
said. The Rams<br />
are in the hunt for<br />
the top four and<br />
Darling says that is<br />
the goal.<br />
“We are a young<br />
team but we all<br />
get on great,” he<br />
said.<br />
“To make the<br />
play-offs would<br />
be a great effort.”<br />
Darling is<br />
eager to test his<br />
talents offshore<br />
and said there<br />
was interest in him<br />
from colleges in the<br />
United States which<br />
are looking to get<br />
him to commit to a<br />
scholarship, although<br />
nothing has been<br />
confirmed.<br />
The Rams return<br />
home to Cowles<br />
Stadium to play the<br />
Taranaki Mountain Airs on<br />
Saturday.<br />
PAPANUI softballer Jackson<br />
Watt has had a breakthrough<br />
year.<br />
The 20-year-old former<br />
Christchurch Boys’ High pupil<br />
has plenty to celebrate having<br />
been selected to make his Black<br />
Sox debut later this year and<br />
being named Canterbury men’s<br />
softball player of the year.<br />
Watt has been in the sport<br />
since he started playing teeball at<br />
the age of four, and has played all<br />
of his games for Papanui.<br />
The right-fielder, who bats<br />
clean-up, has been at the top of<br />
the home run and runs batted<br />
in statistics but chose to deflect<br />
praise onto his teammates.<br />
“Hitting home runs is always<br />
great but you want to be productive<br />
at the plate and it’s a credit<br />
to the guys in front of me in the<br />
line up for getting on base and,<br />
fortunately, I’ve had a few good<br />
swings and been able to score<br />
them,” he said.<br />
Watt also pitches occasionally<br />
for his club team and is motivated<br />
to ensure he gives back to<br />
a sport which has given him so<br />
much.<br />
“I’ve been part of a great club<br />
and Canterbury Softball has<br />
invested a lot in me, so I want to<br />
make sure I make the most of<br />
every opportunity.”<br />
Watt, who also plays premier<br />
softball with his brother Nathan,<br />
says to be selected for the Black<br />
Sox is a real thrill.<br />

later this year.<br />
“To be part of a team which<br />
has such a big legacy and to play<br />
with some of the experienced<br />
legends.”<br />
The Black Sox, currently<br />
ranked No 1 in the world, will<br />
play Japan (2), Argentina (3),<br />
United States (6), Czech Republic<br />

West End theatre<br />
company stops off<br />
at St Margaret’s<br />
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
AN international performance<br />
company which has featured<br />
on Broadway and the West End<br />
has visited St Margaret’s College<br />
to run a workshop with<br />
students.<br />
The Stomp company has<br />
performed globally for the past<br />
26 years, using eight performers<br />
and an array of ordinary, every<br />
day objects, such as lighters, bin<br />
lids and even kitchen sinks, to<br />
create music.<br />
As part of a middle school<br />
music unit, year 8 students at St<br />
Margaret’s have been learning<br />
about percussion instruments<br />
using recycled objects.<br />
A cast from Stomp ran a<br />
workshop with the students as<br />
well as performing a snippet<br />
of their act for years 4-10<br />
students.<br />
The group performed seven<br />
shows at Issac Theatre Royal last<br />
week.<br />
Said performing arts<br />
teacher Rachel Wilford: “Their<br />
energy and enthusiasm was<br />
catching and the girls enjoyed<br />
their visit, particularly the<br />
hands-on workshop where the<br />
girls were able to improvise<br />
rhythms and work with their<br />
props such as brooms and<br />
sticks.”<br />
It is the second time the Stomp<br />
company has performed in New<br />
Zealand, following a sell-out visit<br />
in 2013.<br />

LEARNING HOLIDAY:<br />
Students from Shirley<br />
Boys’ High School and Villa<br />
Maria College visiting the<br />
Colesseum in Rome.<br />
STUDENTS FROM Shirley Boys’<br />
High School have just come back<br />
from a European adventure over<br />
the holidays.<br />
They travelled to Greece and<br />
Italy with students from Villa<br />
Maria College as part of their<br />
classics tour.<br />
The tour began in Athens,<br />
Greece, and went to classical<br />
sites including the buildings on<br />
the Acropolis, the Temple of<br />
Hephaestus, and the old Greek<br />
Agora.<br />
“The traditional Greek dancing<br />
night was very entertaining,<br />
as was witnessing the students<br />
haggling in the Plaka market<br />
area. From Athens we went south<br />
to the Peloponnese, and visited<br />
the towns of Corinth, Nafplio,<br />
Sparta, Mystras and Olympia,”<br />
Villa Maria teacher in charge of<br />
classical studies, Simone Bailey,<br />
said.<br />
From Greece, the group travelled<br />
to Italy, basing themselves<br />
in Sorrento.<br />
The students, along with<br />
the parents and teachers<br />
accompanying the group, visited<br />
the preserved city of Pompeii, a<br />
UNESCO world heritage site, to<br />
experience how the Romans lived<br />
during the first century.<br />
In Rome, the group visited<br />
many different classical sites,<br />
including the Colosseum, Roman<br />
Forum, Ara Pacis Augustae,<br />
Trajan’s Column, and the<br />
Pantheon.<br />
“A visit to the Vatican<br />
museums, the Sistine Chapel and<br />
St Peter’s Basilica was an aweinspiring<br />
time for students,” said<br />
Miss Bailey. A “highlight” of the<br />
trip was being part of the papal<br />
general audience in St Peter’s<br />
Square, she said.<br />
“As a Catholic school, it was<br />
an amazing opportunity for<br />
students to see and listen to<br />
the pope, and to see him on his<br />
famous pope-mobile. He spoke<br />
of peace and unity in the world,<br />
and blessed us and our families,”<br />
Miss Bailey said.<br />
The occasion would be treasured<br />
by the students for a long<br />
time, she said.<br />

Redwood Primary embraces sign language<br />
Every day use earns award<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
REDWOOD PRIMARY School<br />
has won the New Zealand<br />
Sign Language schools’ award<br />
for its efforts to incorporate<br />
the language into its school<br />
curriculum and daily life.<br />
The pupils and teachers use<br />
sign language each day, which is<br />
one of three official New Zealand<br />
languages used at the school.<br />
The others are English and<br />
Maori. The school uses sign<br />
language as a result of the work<br />
of staff members and deaf pupil<br />
Courtney Burcher.<br />
Two staff members travelled<br />
to Parliament to attend the New<br />
Zealand Sign Language ceremony<br />
and recieve the award.<br />
Principal John Stackhouse said<br />
he was very proud. Many of the<br />
pupils who have begun to learn<br />
sign language can now chat with<br />
Courtney and sign to her.<br />
“Courtney and her family have<br />
opened up new learning and<br />
understanding for us as a school.<br />
The work done by those who have<br />
taught Courtney is amazing, but<br />
also the way the rest of the staff,<br />
our pupils and some parents are<br />
picking up sign language – it has<br />
been fantastic.”<br />
Mr Stackhouse said a large<br />
body of reliable research shows<br />
that, if children can learn<br />
other languages, it brings better<br />
outcomes for them in all their<br />
learning.<br />
The school aims to continue<br />
to strengthen its use of sign language<br />
further.<br />

and eight, and their teachers,<br />

TWO YEAR 7 Cobham<br />
Intermeadiate pupils have<br />
collected unwanted items from<br />
their classmates to donate to<br />
the Salvation Army as part of a<br />
learning programme.<br />
As part of their inquiry<br />
learning, Sarah Crook and Mia<br />
Chee-Quill had to do something<br />
to demonstrate how they had the<br />
power to make changes in the<br />
world they live in.<br />
The two girls decided to help<br />
the Salvation Army by collecting<br />
unwanted clothes, shoes, toys and<br />
books from the their classmates<br />
and teachers and held a schoolwide<br />
competition to see which<br />
room could collect the most<br />
items.<br />
The winners were given prizes<br />
sponsored by The Warehouse.<br />
RIDE: Lauren Exton, 7, got to ride in a 1956 Buick car as part of the raffle prize she won in<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />
TWO PUPILS from Waimairi<br />
School got the opportunity<br />
to ride in a 1956 Buick after<br />
winning a raffle at the school’s<br />
fair, which raised $41,000.<br />
As part of the Ministry of<br />
Education’s Christchurch<br />
schools’ rebuild programme,<br />
the school is receiving earthquake<br />
repairs and upgrades.<br />
The money raised from the<br />
school fair will go towards new<br />
landscaping and playgrounds.<br />
“The fair was successful in<br />
creating an opportunity to<br />
bring the community together,<br />
whilst supporting the school<br />
with its upcoming redevelopment,”<br />
said principal Mike<br />
Anderson.<br />
Prizes from the raffles<br />
included a flight in a Garden<br />
City helicopter over the school,<br />
a ride in a police car, a ride to<br />
school in a Blackwell’s Holden<br />
HSV and a ride in the Buick.<br />
The pupils were heavily involved<br />
with the fair by creating<br />
items to sell, running games,<br />
delivering flyers, making signs<br />
and helping on the day.
