AFTER winning three
awards in a national
Shakespeare competition,
two St Margaret’s College
student directors have
been selected to take part
in the national schools
Shakespeare production.
The week-long course in
Dunedin later this year will
give Ruby Anderson and
Emily Stewart a chance to
be selected in the Young
Shakespeare Company,
which will travel to the
Globe Theatre in London.
They will work with
other directors to co-create
and perform a version of a
Shakespeare play.

MODERN fabrication tools
such as 3D printers and

Library and Innovation
Centre at St Andrew’s
College.
Parents Chris and Sarah
Green made a “generous”
financial donation towards
the centre to create a legacy
for their son.
Designed by Tony Hoare
of Wilke & Bruce Architects,
the centre features an
information space with an
extensive mezzanine area
for displaying books and
studying, as well as two
specific innovation spaces.
The ‘design’ space will
be used to bring together
travelling to London next
month.

Sheilah Winn Shakespeare
regional competition held
in Christchurch.
The cast and directors
advanced through to the
national competition in
Wellington, where they
won three awards. They
took out best comedy, best
student directed ensemble
(for Ruby and Emily) and
the most convincing onstage
connection, which
was won by Ruby and
Sophie McClean as Celia
and Rosalind. The girls also
participated in workshops
run by actors and directors,
saying the highlights
of their trip included
a special welcome by
Governor-General Dame
Patsy Reddy, exploring
Government House and
taking in the Wellington
theatre culture.
For the competition, the
students were required to
come up with a setting,
interpretation and to
‘breathe new life’ into
Shakespeare to make it
relevant for a modern
audience.
Along with the two
directors and Sophie, the
cast included actor Kaitlin
Burden and dancers
Polly Forbes, Poppy Cox,
Annalida Jaegar, Olivia

innovative ideas and the
‘maker’ space will give
students access to modern
tools like 3D printers and
laser cutters. The official
opening event was attended
by 60 guests and saw a robot
cut the opening ribbon.
Head of innovation and
information services Wilj
Dekkers said the new centre
is home to some exciting
collaborative projects.
“It has created a learning
hub where various subject
groups can gather together
to share ideas and innovate.
The students are already
coming up with lots of exciting
ideas and new ways
to use the technology and
equipment,” he said.
A Hundred
Stories of Hope
and Healing
A one night only event in Christchurch
In May 2009, nationally acclaimed interior designer Hayley Brown was
diagnosed with breast cancer. She quit her career of 25 years to find some
solution that didn’t include chemo, radiation or surgery. Together with her
partner, nutritionist and high performance coach Todd Balfour, she travelled
the world looking for better ways of dealing with cancer.
Journeying through Australia, Bali, Spain and finally landing in the USA. Hayley
had Hyperthermia in LA for just 14 weeks and her 5cm tumour disintegrated
completely. She was cleared of cancer using a PET scan in July 2010.
In May 2013 the cancer came back with a vengeance, chances of survival
looked slim. Over the duration of her illness, Hayley lost everything, her health,
her home, her career - all her money had been used up in the fight to stay
alive. She was now dying and in debt. “I was given a round of chemo to subdue
the tumour that had grown out through my skin. I never had any surgery - it
was potentially life threatening so I turned it down. I was discharged and the
oncologist said that she would ‘manage me forward’ (till I died).”
“But I wasn’t thinking about dying, I was thinking about living and wanting to
help others…” In 2014, despite apparently having limited time, Hayley and Todd
began a new venture called “Health Evolution” on the Kāpiti Coast.
“Not knowing how long I was going to be around, I took on a month-to-month
lease in a commercial building. That was five years ago. To the amazement of
oncology, and the landlord, I am still alive and my cancer is in remission.”
So what happened? What changed the game?
At Heath Evolution, Hayley and Todd offer Pulsed Electromagnetic field therapy
(PEMF) and mild Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy (HBOT) treatments based on
cutting-edge German protocols.
Both modalities have far-reaching implications for physical and neurological
rehabilitation. PEMF and HBOT work by taking advantage of the welldocumented
effects of electromagnetic fields and the power of oxygen
combined with pressure on cellular function and metabolism.
From tiny babies to senior citizens, we have witnessed remarkable turnarounds
in health for a wide variety of illness’s and conditions.
Let us share with you a hundred stories of hope and healing.
Come and hear the remarkable stories of health restored
If you’re baffled by the overwhelming mass of health claims of
what’s good for you and what’s not; if you know there must
be a better way to achieve lasting well-being; if you’ve
tried to improve your health, and nothing worked; if you
believe that ‘health is wealth’ – then come along.
We’d love for you to hear our journey.
Q&A will be available afterwards.
