BEAUTIFUL BRIGHTON: This photo of a golden sunrise over the New Brighton Pier on Sunday was<br />
captured by Linwood resident Allan Macala. On his days off, Mr Macala will often walk along the beach<br />
at sunrise. The New Brighton Pier re-opened earlier this month following a 16-month, $8.5 million<br />
earthquake repairs. Mr Macala said it was good the repairs had been completed as the pier is a historical<br />
landmark.<br />

Meeting<br />
sought<br />
with<br />
ministry<br />
over QE II<br />
school<br />
zones<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
THE PAPANUI-Innes<br />
Community Board will invite<br />
the Ministry of Education to<br />
meet with it over the proposed<br />
enrolment zones for Shirley<br />
Boys and Avonside Girls’ High<br />
Schools.<br />
After writing to the MOE in<br />
May, the community board is<br />
“disappointed” by the response,<br />
said chairwoman Ali Jones.<br />
The schools will re-locate<br />
to a shared campus at QE II<br />
Park next year. The letter from<br />
the community board to the<br />
MOE outlined concerns that<br />
the suburbs of Richmond and<br />
Shirley were not included in the<br />
new draft zone.<br />
MOE deputy secretary sector<br />
enablement and support Katrina<br />
Casey replied on behalf of Minister<br />
of Education Chris Hipkins.<br />
Her letter “acknowledged<br />
that the post-quake period for<br />
people in Christchurch has been<br />
stressful, demanding<br />
and challenging for many families.”<br />

NOW IF that photo on the front page<br />
today doesn’t make you want to go to the<br />
pier, then nothing will.<br />
It was taken on Sunday by Linwood<br />
resident Allan Macala who often walks the<br />
beach before sunrise.<br />
The pier re-opened this month after a 16 month $8.5 million<br />
repair. Wet weather has kept the people away, but with the shortest<br />
day now behind us, and crisp frosty mornings starting to bite,<br />
it all looks good leading into spring.<br />
More rumblings over the QE II site for Shirley Boys’ and Avonside<br />
Girls’ (see page 1).<br />
The Papanui-Innes Community Board wants more discussion<br />
with the Ministry of Education over the proposed enrolment<br />
zones.<br />
It’s an issue that won’t go away in a hurry.<br />

‘Disappointed’ board seeks MOE meeting<br />
•From page 1<br />
The letter said there was a<br />
consultation process, which<br />
was open to all members of the<br />
public affected by zone changes.<br />
Schools were then required to<br />
make a recommendation for a<br />
zone change to the MOE.<br />
Factors Ms Casey said were<br />
being considered included<br />

PART OF a bus route travelling<br />
between New Brighton and<br />
Burwood Hospital has been cut.<br />
Environment Canterbury has<br />
confirmed it will combine the<br />
135 Burwood Hospital and 150<br />
The Palms bus routes as part of<br />
its Long Term Plan.<br />
ABANDONED: Richmond resident Laura McIntosh and<br />
Dallington’s Vanessa van Hoof are disappointed, along with<br />
the Papanui-Innes Community Board, about the suburbs<br />
being eft out of the draft Shirley Boys and Avonside Girls’ High<br />
Schools enrolment zone. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />

Canterbury Coralanne Child to<br />
The new bus route will terminate<br />
at the Taiora: QE II Recreation<br />
and Sport Centre, meaning<br />
it will no longer travel into New<br />
Brighton.<br />
But an ECan spokeswoman<br />
told <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> the route 60<br />
bus already travels between<br />
meet the board.<br />
“As the local community<br />
New Brighton and QE II.<br />
In February, ECan originally<br />
announced it was considering<br />
cutting the 107, 108, 135, 145,<br />
150 and 535 routes to plug a $4<br />
million funding shortfall.<br />
Christchurch East MP Poto<br />
Williams made a submission to<br />
board, as a group that is well<br />
connected in the community, we<br />
were not invited to be part of the<br />
consultation process . . . we still<br />
want to address some issue that<br />
that letter raises that we don’t<br />
think have been satisfactory<br />
answered,” said Ms Jones.<br />
Other concerns the board will<br />
address are the consultation<br />
process and how it was carried<br />
out during school holidays and<br />
only in the school environments,<br />
not beyond with the wider community.<br />
“We haven’t stopped the conversation<br />
there,” said Ms Jones.<br />
Said board member Jo Byrne:<br />
“There is a lot of people in our<br />
wards that are absolutely devastated<br />
by this.”<br />
“Decisions about the major<br />
high schools need to be managed<br />
more publicly and transparently.”<br />

the lack of planning to bring<br />
residents to the new Taiora:<br />

to ECan on <strong>June</strong> 14 asking the<br />

Food, drink tasting and prizes<br />
THE STAR Media Home &<br />

Celebrating its 20th year of<br />

this time around with a unique<br />
tasting corner.<br />
Event manager Vanessa<br />
Fleming is super-enthused about<br />
the new addition, which reflects<br />
the importance of leisure in<br />
people’s lives these days.<br />
“There will be a wide range<br />
of food and drink products to<br />
sample, which people can then<br />
go home and recreate in their<br />
own kitchens,” she says.<br />
And with the latest in kitchen<br />
innovations and products on<br />
display, it’s a chance to get<br />
creative in all aspects of life.<br />
Said Star Media chief executive<br />
Steve McCaughan: “I am very<br />
excited about the new elements<br />
we have introduced with the<br />
addition of our free taste section,<br />
new glossy Home and Leisure<br />
magazine, plus fantastic prizes to<br />
be won.”<br />
Seminars are held throughout<br />
each of the three days and<br />
feature everything from<br />
starting a renovation through<br />
to the design and decoration<br />
stage.<br />
A hot topic this year is water,<br />
with multiple water filtration<br />
systems being exhibited at the<br />
show, along with spa pools<br />
and the best in heating<br />
technology.<br />
“This show is designed to<br />
inspire people with the latest in<br />
home and lifestyle technology,”<br />
says Ms Fleming.<br />

Rats seen at Bexley Reserve after rubbish dumping<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
ILLEGAL RUBBISH dumping at<br />
Bexley Reserve is causing rats to<br />
populate nearby properties.<br />
Residents living near the<br />
reserve on Pages Rd are upset<br />
after putting up with the consequences<br />
of several incidents of fly<br />
tipping.<br />
One large pile of rubbish was<br />
removed by the city council earlier<br />
this month.<br />
<strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong><br />
was told it has<br />
been an issue<br />
since November.<br />
The rubbish<br />
piles included<br />
chicken bones,<br />
tea bags, boxes<br />
and house hold<br />
Tim Baker<br />
items.<br />
In the past year, the city council<br />
has received 22 complaints to<br />
remove rubbish from the reserve.<br />
Resident Paula Bartlett-Pak<br />
said the rubbish has been<br />
bringing rats into the area and<br />
it shouldn’t have taken the city<br />
council so long to clean it up.<br />
Her views have been backed<br />
by neighbours Trish Barnes,<br />
Christine Robertson and Dave<br />
Bonnington.<br />
Mrs Robertson said it is the<br />
first time her property has had<br />
rats and she has placed poison<br />
around the property.<br />
“I was outside and thought<br />
‘who put that bloody big rock<br />
in the drive way?’ And then it<br />
moved and then I thought ‘oh my<br />
god’ it is a bloody rat,” she said.<br />
Mr Bonnington said he has<br />
lived next to Bexley Reserve for<br />
12 years and never had rats until<br />
now.<br />
Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board member Tim Baker said<br />
he saw a name in the rubbish and<br />
is hoping the city council will<br />
now be able to track down who<br />
has dumped it.<br />
City council community parks<br />
manager Al Hardy said it does<br />
not know who is responsible for<br />
the rubbish dumping.<br />
GROSS: A large pile of<br />
rubbish at Bexley Reserve has<br />
been attracting rats to nearby<br />
properties on Pages Rd.<br />
<br />
Additional security barriers<br />
have been added to the reserve<br />
and vegetation pruned to help<br />
minimise the illegal dumpings.<br />
Dumping rubbish is punishable<br />
by a fine of up to $400.<br />
Concerns have also been raised<br />
over how often the reserve is<br />
maintained.<br />
Over the past 12 months, 129<br />
maintenance jobs have been<br />
performed at the reserve, and a<br />
further 64 hours of pruning carried<br />
out by city council rangers.<br />

Lack of consultation on barriers criticised<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
BURWOOD RESIDENTS<br />
have been left disappointed<br />
after planned changes to the<br />
placement of barriers in the red<br />
zone were not consulted on.<br />
The Burwood East Residents’<br />
Association is concerned Land<br />
Information New Zealand’s<br />
plans to resolve anti-social issues<br />
in the red zone “will not entirely<br />
address” all problems it raised.<br />
It first sent a letter to the<br />
Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board in April calling for the<br />
placement of barriers to be<br />
reviewed as a result of boy racers<br />
doing burnouts in the red zone.<br />
Rubbish dumping, unauthorised<br />
vehicles risking the safety of<br />
pedestrians and cyclists as well<br />
as causing damage to grass and<br />
vegetation have raised concerns.<br />
LINZ, which is responsible<br />
for managing Crown-owned<br />
land in the residential red<br />
zone, has since devised a plan<br />
to add additional bollards and<br />
Lions donate waterfront seats<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
TWO DONATED bench<br />
seats have been installed on<br />
New Brighton’s foreshore in<br />
recognition of the Lions Club’s<br />
worldwide centennial.<br />
The seats, gifted by the Lions<br />
Club of New Brighton, were<br />
unveiled on Wednesday.<br />
Each seat has a matching<br />
plaque reading “donated to the<br />
New Brighton community by the<br />
Lions Club of New Brighton in<br />
<strong>June</strong> <strong>2018</strong> to recognise the Lions<br />
Clubs’ international centennial<br />
1917-2017.”<br />
They also feature the club’s<br />
international emblem and are located<br />
south of the New Brighton<br />
Library, underneath the ramp.<br />
Past president and Lions<br />
project convener Bob Fifield said<br />
the club wanted to do something<br />
to help the series of projects<br />
Development Christchurch Ltd<br />
is undertaking to revitalise the<br />
UNHAPPY: The Burwood East Residents’ Association is<br />
disappointed there was no consultation over planned changes<br />
to barriers in the red zone. <br />
posts in the footpath and berm<br />
areas of the existing barriers to<br />
make the barrier locations “less<br />
permeable.”<br />
Where authorised vehicles<br />
are required, a chain and lock<br />
system will be installed.<br />
CELEBRATION: Kim Money and Development Christchurch<br />
Ltd staff with (front) Lions district governor Peter Gamble, Lions<br />
New Brighton president Don Mackay, city councillor David<br />
East and Lions project convener Bob Fifield around a donated<br />
bench seat.<br />
area’s foreshore.<br />
He said clubs all around the<br />
world were encouraged to do<br />
The project is expected to cost<br />
about $50,000 and will begin<br />
next month.<br />
LINZ is planning to install<br />
posts on barriers at Brooker Ave,<br />
Kingsbridge Drive, Corserland<br />
St, Waygreen Ave, Wattle Drive,<br />
something as a legacy project<br />
in recognition of the 100-year<br />
centennial.<br />
Terrelle St and Chimera Crescent.<br />
Barriers at Barkers Lane,<br />
Priory Close, Stour Drive, Brooker<br />
Ave, Dunair Drive, Rebecca<br />
Ave, Willryan Ave, Wattle Drive<br />
and Atlantis St will have a chain<br />
and lock system.<br />
Gates are also due to be installed<br />
at some barriers to allow<br />
easy access for contractors and<br />
planned events.<br />
But residents’ association<br />
secretary Gae Johns wrote in<br />
a recent letter presented to the<br />
community board to find an<br />
action of plan had been created<br />
without consultation was “disappointing.”<br />
LINZ attended the community<br />
board’s meeting last week to address<br />
some of the issues raised in<br />
the letter.<br />
Crown property deputy chief<br />
executive Jerome Sheppard said<br />
it and the city council had since<br />
looked carefully at the location of<br />
the barriers to ensure they are in<br />
the most appropriate places.<br />
“All the funds we raise have<br />
to go back into the community<br />
so this is one way of designating<br />
something back,” he said.<br />
The project was done in<br />
conjunction with Development<br />
Christchurch Ltd.<br />
Lions Clubs International has<br />
1.4 million members and more<br />
than 46,000 clubs.<br />
The seats were constructed by<br />
Apollo Outdoor Furniture and<br />
the club has been working on the<br />
project for the past year.<br />
The Lions Club of New Brighton<br />
has been serving the area for<br />
55 years and is always looking for<br />
new members. The club will even<br />
pick residents up so they can go<br />
to the meeting.<br />

Rawhiti<br />
drain to<br />
be fixed<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
A PROBLEMATIC drain<br />
causing parts of New Brighton’s<br />
Rawhiti Golf Club to become<br />
waterlogged will get fixed.<br />
The golf club has been left optimistic<br />
after a meeting with city<br />
council staff recently to have action<br />
taken over the flood-prone<br />
Rawhiti Drain.<br />
The drain is designed to take<br />
any overflow of water from the<br />
surrounding North Beach suburb<br />
into the river.<br />
It runs from the Grantley St<br />
end of the golf course, through<br />
to Keyes Rd before a pipe takes<br />
the excess water into the Avon<br />
River.<br />
The club first approached the<br />
city council over the issue about<br />
a year ago.<br />
City council’s land drainage<br />
manager Keith Davison said the<br />
drain will have some minor regrading<br />
where necessary.<br />
Work will begin over the next<br />
couple of months.<br />
A small excavator will form<br />
the bottom of the drain so<br />
surface water runs downhill as<br />
designed.<br />
Mr Davison said a field tile<br />
line running under the drain’s<br />
channel will be cleaned of silt<br />
and most likely checked for any<br />
damage. He said the drain is not<br />
the only problem causing the<br />
flooding.<br />
“Local groundwater is elevated,<br />
this was caused by the<br />
preceding years’ higher than<br />
average rainfall,” Mr Davison<br />
said.<br />
City council staff suspect there<br />
had also been post-earthquake<br />
ground settlement which causes<br />
surface water to pond in different<br />
areas.<br />
The golf club’s president Leon<br />
Zilinskas said it was a positive<br />
outcome and was pleased the<br />
city council was going to do<br />

Paul Simon - The Life<br />
By robert Hilburn<br />
‘There’s no tougher a mind, no more tender a voice than Paul Simon, and there’s no better<br />
man than Robert Hilburn to decipher the hardwiring of this hyperintellect...great songs can<br />
never be fully explained, but the great man on his way to find those songs surely can.’ - Bono<br />
Through such hits as “The Sound of Silence,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Still Crazy After<br />
All These Years,” and “Graceland,” Paul Simon has spoken to us in songs for a half-century<br />
about alienation, doubt, survival, and faith in ways that have established him as one of<br />
the most honoured and beloved songwriters in American pop music history. Yet Simon has<br />
refused to talk to potential biographers and urged those close to him to also remain silent.<br />
But Simon not only agreed to talk to biographer Robert Hilburn for what has amounted to<br />
more than sixty hours, he also encouraged his family and friends to sit down for in-depth<br />
interviews.<br />
Paul Simon is a revealing account of the challenges and sacrifices of artistry at the highest<br />
level. He has also lived a roller-coaster life of extreme ups and downs. We not only learn<br />
Paul’s unrelenting drive to achieve artistry, but also the subsequent struggles to protect<br />
that artistry against distractions - fame, wealth, marriage, divorce, drugs, complacency,<br />
public rejection, self-doubt - that have frequently derailed pop stars and each of which he<br />
encountered. From dominating the charts with Art Garfunkel and a successful reinvention as a<br />
solo artist, to his multiple marriages and highly publicized second divorce from Carrie Fisher,<br />
this book covers all aspects of this American icon.<br />
Refugee<br />
By Alan Gratz<br />
JOSEF is a Jewish boy living in 1930s Nazi Germany. With the threat of concentration<br />
camps looming, he and his family board a ship bound for the other side of the world ...<br />
ISABEL is a Cuban girl in 1994. With riots and unrest plaguing her country, she and her<br />
family set out on a raft, hoping to find safety in America . . . MAHMOUD is a Syrian boy in<br />
2015. With his homeland torn apart by violence and destruction, he and his family begin<br />
a long trek toward Europe . . . All three kids go on harrowing journeys in search of refuge.<br />
All will face unimaginable dangers -- from drownings to bombings to betrayals. But there<br />
is always the hope of tomorrow. And although Josef, Isabel, and Mahmoud are separated<br />
by continents and decades, shocking connections will tie their stories together in the end.<br />
This action-packed novel tackles topics both timely and timeless: courage, survival, and<br />
the quest for home.<br />

The President is Missing<br />
By President Bill Clinton and James Patterson<br />
The President is Missing. The world is in shock.<br />
But the reason he’s missing is much worse than anyone can imagine.<br />
With details only a President could know, and the kind of suspense only James Patterson<br />
can deliver.<br />
‘The dream team delivers big time a Clinton’s insider secrets and Patterson’s storytelling<br />
genius make this the political thriller of the decade.’ - Lee Child<br />
‘A bullet train of a thriller. The Day of the Jackal for the twenty-first century.’<br />
- A.J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window<br />
‘Yes, The President is Missing is fiction - it’s a thriller - but James Patterson and I have<br />
come up with three of the most frightening days in the history of the presidency. And it<br />
could really happen... These days, the seemingly impossible can happen. And it happens<br />
so fast. I believe that readers will not soon forget President Jonathan Duncan and his<br />
story.’ - Bill Clinton<br />
‘Needless to say, we had some great conversations about the presidency, what life in<br />
Washington is really like, and about the state of America and the rest of the world.’<br />
- James Patterson<br />

Gary Knight responds to<br />
articles about the plans<br />
to develop a multipurpose<br />
outdoor sports<br />
facility at Rawhiti Domain<br />
and illuminate the New<br />
Brighton Clock Tower<br />
To meet the leisure and<br />
recreational needs of New<br />
Brighton residents, sporting<br />
programmes are vital to unite<br />
future community growth<br />
and bolster the<br />
sustainability of<br />
groups<br />
pro-active in this<br />
area.<br />
Accolades<br />
are therefore<br />
extended<br />
to Eastern<br />
Community<br />
Sporting and<br />
Recreational Inc<br />
for its intention<br />
to lease 3881 sq m of land at<br />
Rawhiti Domain for tennis<br />
and netball court upgrading,<br />
complete with a canopy. The<br />
10-year plan to open this $2.2<br />
million facility, which received<br />
major support through public<br />
submissions, will hopefully be<br />
sanctioned by a city council<br />
decision to allow the lease. The<br />
$675.000 raised by the Rata<br />
Foundation and New Zealand<br />
Community Trust bears<br />
testimony to the communitybased<br />
awareness of these groups.<br />
The criteria of the city council’s<br />
Long Term Plan <strong>2018</strong>-2028 to<br />
operate grants as a contributory<br />
factor towards community<br />
building is surely the catalyst<br />
for the remaining required<br />
$1,525,000 to be met from city<br />
council coffers as an additional<br />
anchor project to ensure this<br />
worthy community facility<br />
upgrade goes ahead.<br />
As gifts from Richard Edward<br />
Green in the 1920s, the Sumner<br />
clock tower, J<br />
E Fitzgerald statue<br />
and the New Brighton<br />
Clock Tower<br />
are memorable<br />
instances in the<br />
New Brighton community<br />
archives.<br />
As an iconic<br />
landmark, however,<br />
the New Brighton<br />
Clock Tower is of<br />
major significance<br />
to the area. Designed by architect<br />
Benjamin Ager, this revered<br />
structure, having had its foundation<br />
stone laid by mayoress Irene<br />
Leavre in 1934, is of historic and<br />
remembrance status for many.<br />
Within this context, accolades<br />
are extended to Coastal-<br />
Burwood Community Board<br />
chairwoman Kim Money for her<br />
innovative concept of having the<br />
clock tower floodlit. This would<br />
be a pro-active step to enlighten<br />
this memorable land mark with a<br />
visual focus.<br />
Reading takes you places<br />
North New<br />
Brighton<br />
resident Bob<br />
Docherty has<br />
made an<br />
exciting career<br />
out of travelling<br />
around New Zealand to<br />
promote reading and<br />
literacy in schools. He<br />
writes about the value of<br />
teaching children to read<br />
SCOTTISH ACTOR Sir Thomas<br />
Sean Connery was once asked<br />
when he got his first break. He<br />
replied that it was at the age of<br />
five when his mother taught him<br />
how to read.<br />
This highlights an important<br />
fact about children and reading<br />
– if you want your children to<br />
read, then parents and caregivers<br />
must show children that they<br />
value reading by reading themselves<br />
and by reading to children<br />
from an early age.<br />
This is particularly true of<br />
fathers as research shows that<br />
boys are lagging behind girls in<br />
the literacy stakes. For children<br />
the value of reading is immense.<br />
They learn how language<br />
works, increase their vocabulary,<br />
become better writers and<br />
their overall communication<br />
skills are improved.<br />
BOOKS: Bob Docherty says<br />
actor Sean Connery inspires<br />
children to read.<br />
Plus, reading is fun, stimulates<br />
imagination and increases<br />
knowledge better than any other<br />
media.<br />
In these days when the internet<br />
rules and social media and<br />
cell phones dominate people’s<br />
lives, reading seems to have<br />
taken a secondary role and there<br />
is a need for teachers and educationalists<br />
to take reading back to<br />
children to let them know how<br />
good it is.<br />
This is where I come in. I read<br />
hundreds of children’s books<br />
from board books for babies<br />
to picture books, early readers,<br />
primary fiction and fiction for<br />
teenagers and young adults.<br />
I review books sent to me by<br />
leading publishers on my blog at<br />
https://bobsbooksnz.wordpress.<br />
com/<br />
I also visit schools all over<br />
New Zealand to talk about reading<br />
and books, with the aim of<br />
encouraging children to read. I<br />
love doing it and teachers tell me<br />
that after I leave their schools,<br />
children flock to the library to<br />
read them.<br />
This heartens me enormously.<br />
In my lifetime two things help<br />
to define you as a person – the<br />
people you meet and the books<br />
that you read. Get reading.<br />

Celebrating Matariki in the red zone<br />
A LARGE feast was served to 500<br />
people in the red zone to celebrate<br />
Matariki.<br />

House kitchen.<br />
Matariki in the Zone was a<br />
collaboration by Avebury House<br />
Community Trust, Richmond<br />
Community Garden and Avon-<br />
Ōtākaro Network.<br />
Matariki is known as the Māori<br />
New Year and is a time for letting<br />
go of the past and looking to the<br />
future by celebrating last season’s<br />
harvest and preparing for the<br />
new. It is signalled by the rise<br />
of Matariki or the Pleiades star<br />
constellation on the horizon of the<br />
night sky.<br />
Richmond Community Garden<br />
member Hayley Guglietta said it<br />
was fitting the community garden<br />
in the red zone adjoining Avebury<br />

Christchurch Intermediate<br />
Schools<br />
Specialists in Year 7 and Year 8 Education<br />
OPEN NIGHTS <strong>2018</strong><br />
Intermediate schools target the needs of<br />
early adolescent Year 7 & 8 students -<br />
11-13 year olds. These two-year, co-educational<br />
schools are in many ways ideal environments<br />
for students to begin their adventures into<br />
adolescence.<br />
Early adolescence is a unique and special time<br />
of immense physical, intellectual, emotional<br />
and social development. These changes<br />
create specific needs and challenges that are<br />
significantly different from the needs of younger<br />
children or older adolescents.<br />
An intermediate school can support your Year 7 &<br />
8 child in ways that include but are not limited to:<br />
• The staff are all focussed on the needs of<br />
early adolescents and teach in these schools<br />
because they establish strong relationships<br />
and particularly enjoy working with Year 7 & 8<br />
students. They are highly qualified, experienced<br />
and skilled teachers of early adolescent<br />
students, who ensure pastoral, social and<br />
emotional needs are well supported.<br />
• The resources are all designed and acquired<br />
to meet the needs of this age group - age<br />
Intermediates are exciting places for students to<br />
begin their adventure into adolescence. In addition<br />
to providing a rich, age and stage, middle-yearsspecific<br />
curriculum in a stimulating, challenging and<br />
rewarding environment, intermediates cater for many<br />
interest groups and clubs.<br />
It is not surprising that New Zealand and overseas<br />
research concludes that the quality of teaching is<br />
one of the most significant factors influencing how<br />
well students learn at school. Given that quality<br />
teaching occurs in most New Zealand schools<br />
regardless of their type, it’s only natural to consider<br />
other factors that might make a difference for early<br />
adolescents.<br />
The young people at intermediates are changing<br />
rapidly – physically, emotionally and socially.<br />
Intermediates focus solely on this age group and<br />
are well positioned to meet their needs. A mix<br />
of specialist and home room teachers helps to<br />
provide the choices, challenge, love for practical<br />
activities and academic rigour in the students’<br />
learning. Resourcing, both human and physical, that<br />
is developed deliberately to meet early adolescent<br />
student needs, helps to build self esteem, assist<br />
students to develop and find strengths and links<br />
learning with career aspirations. Teachers who are<br />
focussed solely on the middle years are able to work<br />
collaboratively to provide level-appropriate engaging<br />
appropriate experiences, opportunities and<br />
challenges are planned for and provided.<br />
• Leadership development focuses on<br />
opportunities for students to develop the<br />
important skills associated with leading their peers<br />
- people their own age.<br />
• Secure and supportive yet challenging<br />
environments are provided to support students<br />
to develop their independence.<br />
• Students thrive on the opportunity to step up.<br />
• Specialist teaching opportunities enable<br />
students to receive age appropriate and<br />
challenging learning in technology, science,<br />
performing arts and visual arts.<br />
• Significant home group environments support<br />
strong literacy and numeracy programmes<br />
differentiated in creative ways to meet students’<br />
individual needs - all students are extended<br />
and the focus is on accelerating progress.<br />
The intermediate schools in Christchurch work<br />
closely together to collectively provide a wide<br />
range of extracurricular opportunities for students<br />
in sporting, cultural and academic contexts.<br />
programmes that connect learning to students’ lives<br />
and interests and provide challenge for all students<br />
to achieve to the best of their ability.<br />
Current intermediate school students list these<br />
points:<br />
1. “There are more children of my own age here<br />
because our school takes all the year sixes from a<br />
few different schools and they come to one school.<br />
And because we’ve got bigger numbers of pupils<br />
we can have more sports teams and … there’s<br />
something for everyone” Y8 child<br />
2. “Our school has different specialist teachers for<br />
subjects like music art, P.E. and technology, so we<br />
get used to that – which is good preparation for<br />
secondary school” Y7 girl<br />
3. “At intermediate school everything is for our two<br />
years (age group).” Y8 girl<br />
4. “I like that we don’t have to look out for little<br />
children. That was neat at our old (primary) school<br />
but it’s nice to just have our own age here. Y7 boy<br />

Hula hoop record launch<br />
REGISTRATION to take<br />
part in a the city’s attempt<br />
to break the record for the<br />
most people hula hooping<br />
at the same time has<br />
opened.<br />
To celebrate the launch<br />
for registrations, a special<br />
visit was made by organisers<br />
In2Hula to Banks<br />
Avenue School last week.<br />
They were joined by the<br />
Heart Foundation’s mascot<br />
“Hearty”.<br />
The visit involved a 30<br />
minute demonstration to<br />
teach children some hula<br />
hoop skills and gave pupil<br />
Amelia Beazey, who has a<br />
heart condition, an opportunity<br />
to hula hoop with<br />
her classmates.<br />
In2Hula was founded by<br />
Bernadette Smith and her<br />
husband Grant.<br />
They broke the New<br />
Zealand record after<br />
60 people continuously<br />
hooped for 2min.<br />
However in 2009, 150<br />
people in Invercargill hula<br />
hooped the record away.<br />
Mrs Smith said the<br />
Super Heart Hoop-Off is<br />
to be held on October 28<br />
in Hagley Park.<br />
The theme for the record<br />
attempt is super heroes<br />
and dressing up is highly<br />
encouraged.<br />

SECONDARY SCHOOL SELECTION<br />
Parklands kendo fighter to<br />
do battle in South Korea<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
PARKLANDS kendo<br />
fighter Tania Butterfield is<br />
keen to create her own slice<br />
of history.<br />
The 31-year-old will<br />
be part of the first New<br />
Zealand women’s Kendo<br />
team to attend the world<br />
championships in South<br />
Korea in September.<br />
New Zealand did not<br />
send a women’s team<br />
in 2015 because it did<br />
not have a high enough<br />
calibre of competitors, said<br />
Butterfield. “It’s a huge<br />
honour because the six of<br />
us going have had to work<br />
very hard to get there, so<br />
it’s nice to be part of it.”<br />
Kendo is a Japanese<br />
form of fencing with twohanded<br />
bamboo swords. It<br />
was originally developed as<br />
a safe form of sword training<br />
for the samurai.<br />
Other Canterbury Kendo<br />
Club members Masa Matsunami<br />
and Kai Edwards<br />
were selected in the New<br />
Zealand men’s team. Edwards,<br />
a Cashmere High<br />
student, will go to South<br />
Korea as an apprentice.<br />
Butterfield’s journey<br />
started in 2013 when she<br />
was an english teacher on a<br />
two-year OE.<br />
“At school I learnt Japanese<br />
and we had to do a<br />
project on a Japanese sport<br />
and I was the only one who<br />
chose kendo and I found it<br />
really interesting,” she said.<br />
“When I went to Japan,<br />
I had a colleague ask me<br />
if there was anything I<br />
wanted to really do while I<br />
was living there and I said<br />
I’d like to give kendo a try.<br />
MARTIAL ARTS:<br />
Masa Matsunami,<br />
Tania Butterfield<br />
and Kai Edwards will<br />
represent New Zealand<br />
at the kendo world<br />
championships in Korea<br />
in September.<br />
“One of my student’s fathers<br />
invited me to try one<br />
night and even left me this<br />
broken english message<br />
through Google translate<br />
so I thought I should really<br />
show up. Things just progressed<br />
from there.”<br />
Butterfield’s brother<br />
Andrew was also a New<br />
Zealand judo representative.<br />
She has earned her<br />
kendo brown belt and is<br />
now up to her third dan.<br />
Butterfield said the men<br />
hoped to rank in the world<br />
top eight at the competition,<br />
while the women are<br />
heading into the unknown.<br />
She said kendo is more<br />
mental than physical, and<br />
it is one of the rare sports<br />
where you can get better<br />
with age. “Some of the best<br />
in the world are in their<br />
80s so it’s a sport for life.”<br />

SECONDARY SCHOOL SELECTION<br />
State of the art campus opens next year<br />
Construction of the new campus for<br />
Avonside Girls’ and Shirley Boys’ High<br />
Schools is progressing rapidly with<br />
opening on track for 2019.<br />
The new campus will feature a Performing<br />
Arts Centre with a 750-seat theatre and a<br />
100-seat theatre, a hockey turf, four sports<br />
fields, three indoor gymnasiums, a café,<br />
and a large library and learning centre.<br />
Both Avonside Girls’ High School<br />
Principal Sue Hume and Shirley Boys’<br />
Headmaster John Laurenson are excited<br />
by the progress.<br />
“You can finally see that all we have been<br />
talking about and dreaming about is taking<br />
shape. We will be onsite with our students,<br />
staff and community making the most of<br />
all of the fantastic new facilities before we<br />
know it,” says Sue Hume.<br />
John Laurenson says the progress is<br />
impressive.<br />
“We went through the site recently and<br />
it was actually a little emotional to stand<br />
in what will be our new school for the first<br />
time - it signals the end of all the hard times<br />
the earthquakes brought. Already you can<br />
see this will be a very well-resourced and<br />
impressive campus.”<br />
The campus is due to open in Term<br />
Two of 2019. It will be the first time in<br />
New Zealand’s modern history that two<br />
well established and successful single sex<br />
schools are being rebuilt side by side. Both<br />
schools will retain their single sex identity,<br />
providing learning tailored to boys and<br />
girls and continuing to develop their<br />
unique values.<br />
John Laurenson says the move has<br />
enabled the schools to offer students more.<br />
“Because we’re building together, we’ve<br />
been able to build bigger and better<br />
facilities.”<br />
Sue Hume says being side by side will also<br />
enable better educational opportunities.<br />
“We’ll collaborate on teaching<br />
some senior subjects, so we can offer<br />
students wider choice and there’s also<br />
the opportunity to work together on<br />
co-curricular opportunities – such as<br />
productions, and sports competitions.<br />
This move will increase the opportunities<br />
we can offer our students – both in and out<br />
of the classroom.”<br />

campus go to www.newcampus.nz<br />

mitre 10 mega ferrymead<br />
lend a helping hand<br />
A MASSIVE clean-up of the Lyttelton Anglican Cemetery<br />
has left it looking a lot smarter. Ten team members<br />
from Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead spent hours weeding,<br />
cutting, pruning and mowing as part of a community<br />
initiative called Helping Hands. Launched to mark the<br />
10th Anniversary of Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead, the store<br />
is selecting 10 applicants whom staff will help with their<br />
project. They can be from individual and/or community<br />
groups and have a project that can be completed<br />
within 10 hours with the help of 10 team members.<br />
The Canterbury St cemetery was the first project to<br />
receive help. It’s where the graveyard scenes from Peter<br />
Jackson’s The Frighteners were filmed and has become<br />
overgrown in recent years. Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead<br />
spokeswoman Leah Knauf said the team from the store’s<br />
garden centre worked from 8am through to almost<br />
6pm at the cemetery. “It was a mammoth task, but<br />
we got there and did as much as we could,” she said.<br />
“It was cold to begin with but once we got under way<br />
it was fine. Everyone was hypedup about the whole<br />
project beforehand and by the time we got to the end<br />
everyone was just ecstatic with the amount of work we<br />
actually did. We could see the improvement we’d made.”<br />
Ms Knauf said people were welcome to apply in store<br />
or email marketing.ferrymead@mitre10.co.nz to<br />
become part of the Helping Hands initiative.<br />
Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead was supported by Kiwicare<br />
which provided moss and weed killer and the city<br />
council which helped with disposal of the weeds.<br />

T<br />
he firs time I woke up with a cold nose in my brand<br />
new home, I wa shocked. How could this be? The<br />
cool, calm, collected one and I had planned for our<br />
home to be we l insulated against Canterbury’s<br />
cold winters. Turns out, not we l enough. We’d<br />
even assured a we l-meaning friend we had ample<br />
insulation (yes, Duncan, you were right). I’ve worked out where we<br />
fe l short in hindsight. Our home was designed by highly respected<br />
Christchurch architect the late Peter Beaven, for a magic little<br />
Port Hi l site, where he planned to live in with his wife Lesley.<br />
Sadly Peter died before realising his plans. We bough them and<br />
employed Archology in Sydney, where we were living at the time, to<br />
prepare the construction drawings and specifications. Compared to<br />
Australia, the R values for insulation would have looked high. Our<br />
talented young builder, Sam McCarthy, would never have queried<br />
the levels because they were standard practice around town. So it<br />
wasn’t until we were living in the house and I consulted Council’s<br />
eco design advisor Julie Villard about how we could warm it up that<br />
we discovered, while we unwittingly thought we had exceeded New<br />
Zealand standard, we had merely met Code. And that ain’t going to<br />
cut it in our climate.<br />
Fortunately Julie had plenty of ideas on how we could improve<br />
the situation and we have easy access to our underfloor to top-up<br />
the insulation. Julie Vi lard, an architect from France, is on a mission<br />
to transform building best practice here and you can read abou the<br />
groundbreaking ideas she’s applied to her own brand new build on<br />
page 20.<br />
I’ve shared the highs and lows of building with the other home<br />
builders and renovators I interviewed and, like Diane (page 36), would<br />
relish doing it again. I wa struck by how a l the home owner said<br />
wha they most valued was the ability of their designer or builder to<br />
“rea ly listen” to their wants and needs. I was also impressed by how<br />
much Christchurch people love a good garage! We’ve got some ideas<br />
for some top of their class cars to complement yours on page 81 and<br />
how to quickly establish a lawn on page 72.<br />
We review a l the lates trends in everyone’s favourite room –<br />
the kitchen (page 48), and share an easy yet impressive recipe for<br />
entertaining friends in your fabulous new home on page 77.<br />
I hope Peter Beaven would be pleased with how the cool, calm,<br />
co lected one and I realised his dream. Go chase yours people!<br />
Gaynor<br />
Speaking to the NZ Institute of Architects about ‘bespoke<br />
architecture’ being a ‘minority pursuit’ not long before his death<br />
Peter said “I am going to try to prove that it’s possible to build<br />
modestly and cheaply with a little house for ourselves. It’s going to<br />
be sustainable and it’s going to be beautiful and it’s going to be just<br />
cheap – no more than an ordinary spec house. I’ l prove that it can<br />
be done, and it might be the las thing I prove.”<br />
