BEAUTIFUL BRIGHTON: This photo of a golden sunrise over the New Brighton Pier on Sunday was 

captured by Linwood resident Allan Macala. On his days off, Mr Macala will often walk along the beach 

at sunrise. The New Brighton Pier re-opened earlier this month following a 16-month, $8.5 million 

earthquake repairs. Mr Macala said it was good the repairs had been completed as the pier is a historical 

landmark.

Meeting 

sought 

with 

ministry 

over QE II 

school 

zones 

• By Sophie Cornish 

THE PAPANUI-Innes 

Community Board will invite 

the Ministry of Education to 

meet with it over the proposed 

enrolment zones for Shirley 

Boys and Avonside Girls’ High 

Schools. 

After writing to the MOE in 

May, the community board is 

“disappointed” by the response, 

said chairwoman Ali Jones. 

The schools will re-locate 

to a shared campus at QE II 

Park next year. The letter from 

the community board to the 

MOE outlined concerns that 

the suburbs of Richmond and 

Shirley were not included in the 

new draft zone. 

MOE deputy secretary sector 

enablement and support Katrina 

Casey replied on behalf of Minister 

of Education Chris Hipkins. 

Her letter “acknowledged 

that the post-quake period for 

people in Christchurch has been 

stressful, demanding 

and challenging for many families.”

NOW IF that photo on the front page 

today doesn’t make you want to go to the 

pier, then nothing will. 

It was taken on Sunday by Linwood 

resident Allan Macala who often walks the 

beach before sunrise. 

The pier re-opened this month after a 16 month $8.5 million 

repair. Wet weather has kept the people away, but with the shortest 

day now behind us, and crisp frosty mornings starting to bite, 

it all looks good leading into spring. 

More rumblings over the QE II site for Shirley Boys’ and Avonside 

Girls’ (see page 1). 

The Papanui-Innes Community Board wants more discussion 

with the Ministry of Education over the proposed enrolment 

zones. 

It’s an issue that won’t go away in a hurry.

‘Disappointed’ board seeks MOE meeting

The new bus route will terminate

there,” said Ms Jones.

Home & Leisure Show this weekend 

Food, drink tasting and prizes 

THE STAR Media Home & 

Leisure Show promises to be the 

best yet. 

Celebrating its 20th year of 

supporting local businesses, the 

event has an extra special flavour 

this time around with a unique 

tasting corner. 

Event manager Vanessa 

Fleming is super-enthused about 

the new addition, which reflects 

the importance of leisure in 

people’s lives these days. 

“There will be a wide range 

of food and drink products to 

sample, which people can then 

go home and recreate in their 

own kitchens,” she says. 

And with the latest in kitchen 

innovations and products on 

display, it’s a chance to get 

creative in all aspects of life. 

Said Star Media chief executive 

Steve McCaughan: “I am very 

excited about the new elements 

we have introduced with the 

addition of our free taste section, 

new glossy Home and Leisure 

magazine, plus fantastic prizes to 

be won.” 

Seminars are held throughout 

each of the three days and 

feature everything from 

starting a renovation through 

to the design and decoration 

stage. 

A hot topic this year is water, 

with multiple water filtration 

systems being exhibited at the 

show, along with spa pools 

and the best in heating 

technology. 

“This show is designed to 

inspire people with the latest in 

home and lifestyle technology,” 

says Ms Fleming.

Rats seen at Bexley Reserve after rubbish dumping 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

ILLEGAL RUBBISH dumping at 

Bexley Reserve is causing rats to 

populate nearby properties. 

Residents living near the 

reserve on Pages Rd are upset 

after putting up with the consequences 

of several incidents of fly 

tipping. 

One large pile of rubbish was 

removed by the city council earlier 

this month. 

Pegasus Post 

was told it has 

been an issue 

since November. 

The rubbish 

piles included 

chicken bones, 

tea bags, boxes 

and house hold 

Tim Baker 

items. 

In the past year, the city council 

has received 22 complaints to 

remove rubbish from the reserve. 

Resident Paula Bartlett-Pak 

said the rubbish has been 

bringing rats into the area and 

it shouldn’t have taken the city 

council so long to clean it up. 

Her views have been backed 

by neighbours Trish Barnes, 

Christine Robertson and Dave 

Bonnington. 

Mrs Robertson said it is the 

first time her property has had 

rats and she has placed poison 

around the property. 

“I was outside and thought 

‘who put that bloody big rock 

in the drive way?’ And then it 

moved and then I thought ‘oh my 

god’ it is a bloody rat,” she said. 

Mr Bonnington said he has 

lived next to Bexley Reserve for 

12 years and never had rats until 

now. 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board member Tim Baker said 

he saw a name in the rubbish and 

is hoping the city council will 

now be able to track down who 

has dumped it. 

City council community parks 

manager Al Hardy said it does 

not know who is responsible for 

the rubbish dumping. 

GROSS: A large pile of 

rubbish at Bexley Reserve has 

been attracting rats to nearby 

properties on Pages Rd. 

 

Additional security barriers 

have been added to the reserve 

and vegetation pruned to help 

minimise the illegal dumpings. 

Dumping rubbish is punishable 

by a fine of up to $400. 

Concerns have also been raised 

over how often the reserve is 

maintained. 

Over the past 12 months, 129 

maintenance jobs have been 

performed at the reserve, and a 

further 64 hours of pruning carried 

out by city council rangers.

Lack of consultation on barriers criticised 


BURWOOD RESIDENTS 

have been left disappointed 

after planned changes to the 

placement of barriers in the red 

zone were not consulted on. 

The Burwood East Residents’ 

Association is concerned Land 

Information New Zealand’s 

plans to resolve anti-social issues 

in the red zone “will not entirely 

address” all problems it raised. 

It first sent a letter to the 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board in April calling for the 

placement of barriers to be 

reviewed as a result of boy racers 

doing burnouts in the red zone. 

Rubbish dumping, unauthorised 

vehicles risking the safety of 

pedestrians and cyclists as well 

as causing damage to grass and 

vegetation have raised concerns. 

LINZ, which is responsible 

for managing Crown-owned 

land in the residential red 

zone, has since devised a plan 

to add additional bollards and 

Lions donate waterfront seats 


TWO DONATED bench 

seats have been installed on 

New Brighton’s foreshore in 

recognition of the Lions Club’s 

worldwide centennial. 

The seats, gifted by the Lions 

Club of New Brighton, were 

unveiled on Wednesday. 

Each seat has a matching 

plaque reading “donated to the 

New Brighton community by the 

Lions Club of New Brighton in 

June 2018 to recognise the Lions 

Clubs’ international centennial 

1917-2017.” 

They also feature the club’s 

international emblem and are located 

south of the New Brighton 

Library, underneath the ramp. 

Past president and Lions 

project convener Bob Fifield said 

the club wanted to do something 

to help the series of projects

He said clubs all around the 

world were encouraged to do 

The project is expected to cost 

about $50,000 and will begin 

next month. 

LINZ is planning to install 

posts on barriers at Brooker Ave, 

Kingsbridge Drive, Corserland 

St, Waygreen Ave, Wattle Drive, 

something as a legacy project 

in recognition of the 100-year 

centennial. 

Terrelle St and Chimera Crescent. 

Barriers at Barkers Lane, 

Priory Close, Stour Drive, Brooker 

Ave, Dunair Drive, Rebecca 

Ave, Willryan Ave, Wattle Drive 

and Atlantis St will have a chain 

and lock system. 

Gates are also due to be installed 

at some barriers to allow 

easy access for contractors and 

planned events. 

But residents’ association 

secretary Gae Johns wrote in 

a recent letter presented to the 

community board to find an 

action of plan had been created 

without consultation was “disappointing.” 

LINZ attended the community 

board’s meeting last week to address 

some of the issues raised in 

the letter. 

Crown property deputy chief 

executive Jerome Sheppard said 

it and the city council had since 

looked carefully at the location of 

the barriers to ensure they are in 

the most appropriate places. 

“All the funds we raise have 

to go back into the community 

so this is one way of designating 

something back,” he said. 

The project was done in 

conjunction with Development 

Christchurch Ltd. 

Lions Clubs International has 

1.4 million members and more 

than 46,000 clubs. 

The seats were constructed by 

Apollo Outdoor Furniture and 

the club has been working on the 

project for the past year. 

The Lions Club of New Brighton 

has been serving the area for 

55 years and is always looking for 

new members. The club will even 

pick residents up so they can go 

to the meeting. 

•Anyone interested in 

joining can attend the club’s 

meeting on the first and third 

Wednesdays of the month 

at the New Brighton Club 

or call 3837492 for more

Rawhiti 

drain to 

be fixed 


A PROBLEMATIC drain 

causing parts of New Brighton’s 

Rawhiti Golf Club to become 

waterlogged will get fixed. 

The golf club has been left optimistic 

after a meeting with city 

council staff recently to have action 

taken over the flood-prone 

Rawhiti Drain. 

The drain is designed to take 

any overflow of water from the 

surrounding North Beach suburb 

into the river. 

It runs from the Grantley St 

end of the golf course, through 

to Keyes Rd before a pipe takes 

the excess water into the Avon 

River. 

The club first approached the 

city council over the issue about 

a year ago. 

City council’s land drainage 

manager Keith Davison said the 

drain will have some minor regrading 

where necessary. 

Work will begin over the next 

couple of months. 

A small excavator will form 

the bottom of the drain so 

surface water runs downhill as 

designed. 

Mr Davison said a field tile 

line running under the drain’s 

channel will be cleaned of silt 

and most likely checked for any 

damage. He said the drain is not 

the only problem causing the 

flooding. 

“Local groundwater is elevated, 

this was caused by the 

preceding years’ higher than 

average rainfall,” Mr Davison 

said. 

City council staff suspect there 

had also been post-earthquake 

ground settlement which causes 

surface water to pond in different 

areas. 

The golf club’s president Leon 

Zilinskas said it was a positive 

outcome and was pleased the 

city council was going to do 

something about it.

NEW RELEASES 

Paul Simon - The Life 

By robert Hilburn 

‘There’s no tougher a mind, no more tender a voice than Paul Simon, and there’s no better 

man than Robert Hilburn to decipher the hardwiring of this hyperintellect...great songs can 

never be fully explained, but the great man on his way to find those songs surely can.’ - Bono 

Through such hits as “The Sound of Silence,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Still Crazy After 

All These Years,” and “Graceland,” Paul Simon has spoken to us in songs for a half-century 

about alienation, doubt, survival, and faith in ways that have established him as one of 

the most honoured and beloved songwriters in American pop music history. Yet Simon has 

refused to talk to potential biographers and urged those close to him to also remain silent. 

But Simon not only agreed to talk to biographer Robert Hilburn for what has amounted to 

more than sixty hours, he also encouraged his family and friends to sit down for in-depth 

interviews. 

Paul Simon is a revealing account of the challenges and sacrifices of artistry at the highest 

level. He has also lived a roller-coaster life of extreme ups and downs. We not only learn 

Paul’s unrelenting drive to achieve artistry, but also the subsequent struggles to protect 

that artistry against distractions - fame, wealth, marriage, divorce, drugs, complacency, 

public rejection, self-doubt - that have frequently derailed pop stars and each of which he 

encountered. From dominating the charts with Art Garfunkel and a successful reinvention as a 

solo artist, to his multiple marriages and highly publicized second divorce from Carrie Fisher, 

this book covers all aspects of this American icon. 

Refugee 

By Alan Gratz 

JOSEF is a Jewish boy living in 1930s Nazi Germany. With the threat of concentration 

camps looming, he and his family board a ship bound for the other side of the world ... 

ISABEL is a Cuban girl in 1994. With riots and unrest plaguing her country, she and her 

family set out on a raft, hoping to find safety in America . . . MAHMOUD is a Syrian boy in 

2015. With his homeland torn apart by violence and destruction, he and his family begin 

a long trek toward Europe . . . All three kids go on harrowing journeys in search of refuge. 

All will face unimaginable dangers -- from drownings to bombings to betrayals. But there 

is always the hope of tomorrow. And although Josef, Isabel, and Mahmoud are separated 

by continents and decades, shocking connections will tie their stories together in the end. 

This action-packed novel tackles topics both timely and timeless: courage, survival, and 

the quest for home.

The President is Missing 

By President Bill Clinton and James Patterson 

The President is Missing. The world is in shock. 

But the reason he’s missing is much worse than anyone can imagine. 

With details only a President could know, and the kind of suspense only James Patterson 

can deliver. 

‘The dream team delivers big time a Clinton’s insider secrets and Patterson’s storytelling 

genius make this the political thriller of the decade.’ - Lee Child 

‘A bullet train of a thriller. The Day of the Jackal for the twenty-first century.’ 

- A.J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window 

‘Yes, The President is Missing is fiction - it’s a thriller - but James Patterson and I have 

come up with three of the most frightening days in the history of the presidency. And it 

could really happen... These days, the seemingly impossible can happen. And it happens 

so fast. I believe that readers will not soon forget President Jonathan Duncan and his 

story.’ - Bill Clinton 

‘Needless to say, we had some great conversations about the presidency, what life in 

Washington is really like, and about the state of America and the rest of the world.’ 

- James Patterson

to Eastern 

Community 

Sporting and 

Recreational Inc 

for its intention 

to lease 3881 sq m of land at 

Rawhiti Domain for tennis 

and netball court upgrading, 

complete with a canopy. The 

10-year plan to open this $2.2 

million facility, which received 

major support through public 

submissions, will hopefully be 

sanctioned by a city council 

decision to allow the lease. The 

$675.000 raised by the Rata 

Foundation and New Zealand 

Community Trust bears 

testimony to the communitybased 

awareness of these groups. 

The criteria of the city council’s 

Long Term Plan 2018-2028 to 

operate grants as a contributory 

factor towards community 

building is surely the catalyst 

for the remaining required 

$1,525,000 to be met from city 

council coffers as an additional 

anchor project to ensure this 

worthy community facility 

upgrade goes ahead. 

As gifts from Richard Edward 

Green in the 1920s, the Sumner 

clock tower, J 

E Fitzgerald statue 

and the New Brighton 

Clock Tower 

are memorable 

instances in the 

New Brighton community 

archives. 

As an iconic 

landmark, however, 

the New Brighton 

Clock Tower is of 

major significance 

to the area. Designed by architect 

Benjamin Ager, this revered 

structure, having had its foundation 

stone laid by mayoress Irene 

Leavre in 1934, is of historic and 

remembrance status for many. 

Within this context, accolades 

are extended to Coastal- 

Burwood Community Board 

chairwoman Kim Money for her 

innovative concept of having the 

clock tower floodlit. This would 

be a pro-active step to enlighten 

this memorable land mark with a 

visual focus. 

Reading takes you places 

North New 

Brighton 

resident Bob 

Docherty has 

made an 

exciting career 

out of travelling 

around New Zealand to 

promote reading and 

literacy in schools. He 

writes about the value of 

teaching children to read 

SCOTTISH ACTOR Sir Thomas 

Sean Connery was once asked 

when he got his first break. He 

replied that it was at the age of 

five when his mother taught him 

how to read. 

This highlights an important 

fact about children and reading 

– if you want your children to 

read, then parents and caregivers 

must show children that they 

value reading by reading themselves 

and by reading to children 

from an early age. 

This is particularly true of 

fathers as research shows that 

boys are lagging behind girls in 

the literacy stakes. For children 

the value of reading is immense. 

They learn how language 

works, increase their vocabulary, 

become better writers and 

their overall communication 

skills are improved. 

BOOKS: Bob Docherty says 

actor Sean Connery inspires 

children to read. 

Plus, reading is fun, stimulates 

imagination and increases 

knowledge better than any other 

media. 

In these days when the internet 

rules and social media and 

cell phones dominate people’s 

lives, reading seems to have 

taken a secondary role and there 

is a need for teachers and educationalists 

to take reading back to 

children to let them know how 

good it is. 

This is where I come in. I read 

hundreds of children’s books 

from board books for babies 

to picture books, early readers, 

primary fiction and fiction for 

teenagers and young adults. 

I review books sent to me by 

leading publishers on my blog at 

https://bobsbooksnz.wordpress. 

com/ 

I also visit schools all over 

New Zealand to talk about reading 

and books, with the aim of 

encouraging children to read. I 

love doing it and teachers tell me 

that after I leave their schools, 

children flock to the library to 

read them. 

This heartens me enormously. 

In my lifetime two things help 

to define you as a person – the 

people you meet and the books 

that you read. Get reading.

Celebrating Matariki in the red zone 

A LARGE feast was served to 500 

people in the red zone to celebrate 

Matariki. 

The event was held at Avebury 

House and the Richmond Community 

Gardens. 

The free feed included a traditionally 

prepared hangi along 

with a meal by chef Richard Till 

using locally grown produce 

cooked on site in the Avebury 

House kitchen. 

Matariki in the Zone was a 

collaboration by Avebury House 

Community Trust, Richmond 

Community Garden and Avon- 

Ōtākaro Network. 

Matariki is known as the Māori 

New Year and is a time for letting 

go of the past and looking to the 

future by celebrating last season’s 

harvest and preparing for the 

new. It is signalled by the rise 

of Matariki or the Pleiades star 

constellation on the horizon of the 

night sky. 

Richmond Community Garden 

member Hayley Guglietta said it 

was fitting the community garden 

in the red zone adjoining Avebury 

Park was the site of the festival. 

Two new gardens were opened 

including an edible native koru 

garden and a household rain 

garden exemplar for treating 

stormwater was built and officially 

opened. 

ENVIRONMENTAL: Volunteers building a household rain 

garden exemplar and listening to music.

Christchurch Intermediate 

Schools 

Specialists in Year 7 and Year 8 Education 

OPEN NIGHTS 2018 

Intermediate schools target the needs of 

early adolescent Year 7 & 8 students - 

11-13 year olds. These two-year, co-educational 

schools are in many ways ideal environments 

for students to begin their adventures into 

adolescence. 

Early adolescence is a unique and special time 

of immense physical, intellectual, emotional 

and social development. These changes 

create specific needs and challenges that are 

significantly different from the needs of younger 

children or older adolescents. 

An intermediate school can support your Year 7 & 

8 child in ways that include but are not limited to: 

• The staff are all focussed on the needs of 

early adolescents and teach in these schools 

because they establish strong relationships 

and particularly enjoy working with Year 7 & 8 

students. They are highly qualified, experienced 

and skilled teachers of early adolescent 

students, who ensure pastoral, social and 

emotional needs are well supported. 

• The resources are all designed and acquired 

to meet the needs of this age group - age 

Intermediates are exciting places for students to 

begin their adventure into adolescence. In addition 

to providing a rich, age and stage, middle-yearsspecific 

curriculum in a stimulating, challenging and 

rewarding environment, intermediates cater for many 

interest groups and clubs. 

It is not surprising that New Zealand and overseas 

research concludes that the quality of teaching is 

one of the most significant factors influencing how 

well students learn at school. Given that quality 

teaching occurs in most New Zealand schools 

regardless of their type, it’s only natural to consider 

other factors that might make a difference for early 

adolescents. 

The young people at intermediates are changing 

rapidly – physically, emotionally and socially. 

Intermediates focus solely on this age group and 

are well positioned to meet their needs. A mix 

of specialist and home room teachers helps to 

provide the choices, challenge, love for practical 

activities and academic rigour in the students’ 

learning. Resourcing, both human and physical, that 

is developed deliberately to meet early adolescent 

student needs, helps to build self esteem, assist 

students to develop and find strengths and links 

learning with career aspirations. Teachers who are 

focussed solely on the middle years are able to work 

collaboratively to provide level-appropriate engaging 

appropriate experiences, opportunities and 

challenges are planned for and provided. 

• Leadership development focuses on 

opportunities for students to develop the 

important skills associated with leading their peers 

- people their own age. 

• Secure and supportive yet challenging 

environments are provided to support students 

to develop their independence. 

• Students thrive on the opportunity to step up. 

• Specialist teaching opportunities enable 

students to receive age appropriate and 

challenging learning in technology, science, 

performing arts and visual arts. 

• Significant home group environments support 

strong literacy and numeracy programmes 

differentiated in creative ways to meet students’ 

individual needs - all students are extended 

and the focus is on accelerating progress. 

The intermediate schools in Christchurch work 

closely together to collectively provide a wide 

range of extracurricular opportunities for students 

in sporting, cultural and academic contexts. 

programmes that connect learning to students’ lives 

and interests and provide challenge for all students 

to achieve to the best of their ability. 

Current intermediate school students list these 

points: 

1. “There are more children of my own age here 

because our school takes all the year sixes from a 

few different schools and they come to one school. 

And because we’ve got bigger numbers of pupils 

we can have more sports teams and … there’s 

something for everyone” Y8 child 

2. “Our school has different specialist teachers for 

subjects like music art, P.E. and technology, so we 

get used to that – which is good preparation for 

secondary school” Y7 girl 

3. “At intermediate school everything is for our two 

years (age group).” Y8 girl 

4. “I like that we don’t have to look out for little 

children. That was neat at our old (primary) school 

but it’s nice to just have our own age here. Y7 boy 

5. “It’s good that we don’t have big secondary kids 

here. We can worry about them when we’re older… 

and then we’ll be big too. Y8 boy

Hula hoop record launch 

REGISTRATION to take 

part in a the city’s attempt 

to break the record for the 

most people hula hooping 

at the same time has 

opened. 

To celebrate the launch 

for registrations, a special 

visit was made by organisers 

In2Hula to Banks 

Avenue School last week. 

They were joined by the 

Heart Foundation’s mascot 

“Hearty”. 

The visit involved a 30 

minute demonstration to 

teach children some hula 

hoop skills and gave pupil 

Amelia Beazey, who has a 

heart condition, an opportunity 

to hula hoop with 

her classmates. 

In2Hula was founded by 

Bernadette Smith and her 

husband Grant. 

They broke the New 

Zealand record after 

60 people continuously 

hooped for 2min. 

However in 2009, 150 

people in Invercargill hula 

hooped the record away. 

Mrs Smith said the 

Super Heart Hoop-Off is 

to be held on October 28 

in Hagley Park. 

The theme for the record 

attempt is super heroes 

and dressing up is highly 

encouraged.

SECONDARY SCHOOL SELECTION 

Parklands kendo fighter to 

do battle in South Korea 

• By Jacob Page 

PARKLANDS kendo 

fighter Tania Butterfield is 

keen to create her own slice 

of history. 

The 31-year-old will 

be part of the first New 

Zealand women’s Kendo 

team to attend the world 

championships in South 

Korea in September. 

New Zealand did not 

send a women’s team 

in 2015 because it did 

not have a high enough 

calibre of competitors, said 

Butterfield. “It’s a huge 

honour because the six of 

us going have had to work 

very hard to get there, so 

it’s nice to be part of it.” 

Kendo is a Japanese 

form of fencing with twohanded 

bamboo swords. It 

was originally developed as 

a safe form of sword training 

for the samurai. 

Other Canterbury Kendo 

Club members Masa Matsunami 

and Kai Edwards 

were selected in the New 

Zealand men’s team. Edwards, 

a Cashmere High 

student, will go to South 

Korea as an apprentice. 

Butterfield’s journey 

started in 2013 when she 

was an english teacher on a 

two-year OE. 

“At school I learnt Japanese 

and we had to do a 

project on a Japanese sport 

and I was the only one who 

chose kendo and I found it 

really interesting,” she said. 

“When I went to Japan, 

I had a colleague ask me 

if there was anything I 

wanted to really do while I 

was living there and I said 

I’d like to give kendo a try. 

MARTIAL ARTS: 

Masa Matsunami, 

Tania Butterfield 

and Kai Edwards will 

represent New Zealand 

at the kendo world 

championships in Korea 

in September. 

“One of my student’s fathers 

invited me to try one 

night and even left me this 

broken english message 

through Google translate 

so I thought I should really 

show up. Things just progressed 

from there.” 

Butterfield’s brother 

Andrew was also a New 

Zealand judo representative. 

She has earned her 

kendo brown belt and is 

now up to her third dan. 

Butterfield said the men 

hoped to rank in the world 

top eight at the competition, 

while the women are 

heading into the unknown. 

She said kendo is more 

mental than physical, and 

it is one of the rare sports 

where you can get better 

with age. “Some of the best 

in the world are in their 

80s so it’s a sport for life.”

SECONDARY SCHOOL SELECTION 

State of the art campus opens next year 

Construction of the new campus for 

Avonside Girls’ and Shirley Boys’ High 

Schools is progressing rapidly with 

opening on track for 2019. 

The new campus will feature a Performing 

Arts Centre with a 750-seat theatre and a 

100-seat theatre, a hockey turf, four sports 

fields, three indoor gymnasiums, a café, 

and a large library and learning centre. 

Both Avonside Girls’ High School 

Principal Sue Hume and Shirley Boys’ 

Headmaster John Laurenson are excited 

by the progress. 

“You can finally see that all we have been 

talking about and dreaming about is taking 

shape. We will be onsite with our students, 

staff and community making the most of 

all of the fantastic new facilities before we 

know it,” says Sue Hume. 

John Laurenson says the progress is 

impressive. 

“We went through the site recently and 

it was actually a little emotional to stand 

in what will be our new school for the first 

time - it signals the end of all the hard times 

the earthquakes brought. Already you can 

see this will be a very well-resourced and 

impressive campus.” 

The campus is due to open in Term 

Two of 2019. It will be the first time in 

New Zealand’s modern history that two 

well established and successful single sex 

schools are being rebuilt side by side. Both 

schools will retain their single sex identity, 

providing learning tailored to boys and 

girls and continuing to develop their 

unique values. 

John Laurenson says the move has 

enabled the schools to offer students more. 

“Because we’re building together, we’ve 

been able to build bigger and better 

facilities.” 

Sue Hume says being side by side will also 

enable better educational opportunities. 

“We’ll collaborate on teaching 

some senior subjects, so we can offer 

students wider choice and there’s also 

the opportunity to work together on 

co-curricular opportunities – such as 

productions, and sports competitions. 

This move will increase the opportunities 

we can offer our students – both in and out 

of the classroom.”

campus go to www.newcampus.nz

mitre 10 mega ferrymead 

lend a helping hand 

A MASSIVE clean-up of the Lyttelton Anglican Cemetery 

has left it looking a lot smarter. Ten team members 

from Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead spent hours weeding, 

cutting, pruning and mowing as part of a community 

initiative called Helping Hands. Launched to mark the 

10th Anniversary of Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead, the store 

is selecting 10 applicants whom staff will help with their 

project. They can be from individual and/or community 

groups and have a project that can be completed 

within 10 hours with the help of 10 team members. 

The Canterbury St cemetery was the first project to 

receive help. It’s where the graveyard scenes from Peter 

Jackson’s The Frighteners were filmed and has become 

overgrown in recent years. Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead 

spokeswoman Leah Knauf said the team from the store’s 

garden centre worked from 8am through to almost 

6pm at the cemetery. “It was a mammoth task, but 

we got there and did as much as we could,” she said. 

“It was cold to begin with but once we got under way 

it was fine. Everyone was hypedup about the whole 

project beforehand and by the time we got to the end 

everyone was just ecstatic with the amount of work we 

actually did. We could see the improvement we’d made.” 

Ms Knauf said people were welcome to apply in store 

or email marketing.ferrymead@mitre10.co.nz to 

become part of the Helping Hands initiative. 

Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead was supported by Kiwicare 

which provided moss and weed killer and the city 

council which helped with disposal of the weeds.

T 

he firs time I woke up with a cold nose in my brand 

new home, I wa shocked. How could this be? The 

cool, calm, collected one and I had planned for our 

home to be we l insulated against Canterbury’s 

cold winters. Turns out, not we l enough. We’d 

even assured a we l-meaning friend we had ample 

insulation (yes, Duncan, you were right). I’ve worked out where we 

fe l short in hindsight. Our home was designed by highly respected 

Christchurch architect the late Peter Beaven, for a magic little 

Port Hi l site, where he planned to live in with his wife Lesley. 

Sadly Peter died before realising his plans. We bough them and 

employed Archology in Sydney, where we were living at the time, to 

prepare the construction drawings and specifications. Compared to 

Australia, the R values for insulation would have looked high. Our 

talented young builder, Sam McCarthy, would never have queried 

the levels because they were standard practice around town. So it 

wasn’t until we were living in the house and I consulted Council’s 

eco design advisor Julie Villard about how we could warm it up that 

we discovered, while we unwittingly thought we had exceeded New 

Zealand standard, we had merely met Code. And that ain’t going to 

cut it in our climate. 

Fortunately Julie had plenty of ideas on how we could improve 

the situation and we have easy access to our underfloor to top-up 

the insulation. Julie Vi lard, an architect from France, is on a mission 

to transform building best practice here and you can read abou the 

groundbreaking ideas she’s applied to her own brand new build on 

page 20. 

I’ve shared the highs and lows of building with the other home 

builders and renovators I interviewed and, like Diane (page 36), would 

relish doing it again. I wa struck by how a l the home owner said 

wha they most valued was the ability of their designer or builder to 

“rea ly listen” to their wants and needs. I was also impressed by how 

much Christchurch people love a good garage! We’ve got some ideas 

for some top of their class cars to complement yours on page 81 and 

how to quickly establish a lawn on page 72. 

We review a l the lates trends in everyone’s favourite room – 

the kitchen (page 48), and share an easy yet impressive recipe for 

entertaining friends in your fabulous new home on page 77. 

I hope Peter Beaven would be pleased with how the cool, calm, 

co lected one and I realised his dream. Go chase yours people! 

Gaynor 

Speaking to the NZ Institute of Architects about ‘bespoke 

architecture’ being a ‘minority pursuit’ not long before his death 

Peter said “I am going to try to prove that it’s possible to build 

modestly and cheaply with a little house for ourselves. It’s going to 

be sustainable and it’s going to be beautiful and it’s going to be just 

cheap – no more than an ordinary spec house. I’ l prove that it can 

be done, and it might be the las thing I prove.”
