Unwell teens get $10k boost from Papanui High 

RONALD McDonald House’s 

teenage room has received a 

$10,000 boost from Papanui 

High School. 

The room is for children aged 

10 and over and currently has 

an Xbox, foosball table, space 

invader machines, couches and 

bean bags. 

Ronald McDonald House 

South Island director of house 

operations Zucchi Leonard said 

the organisation was thrilled to 

have the school as a sponsor. 

“We want the students to take 

ownership of the room and 

redesign it. At the moment, it is 

a teenagers room designed by 

adults.” 

The room allows the teenagers 

to have their own space, away 

from their parents and away 

from the younger children. 

Deputy principal Tim Kirby 

said the money was raised in 

three ways. Year 9 and 10 students 

participated in a work day 

afternoon, 23 students from the 

special learning needs department 

ran a car wash for staff 

and the whole school raised 

money through a number of 

mufti-days. “The school has now 

committed to being an annual 

sponsor of the room beginning 

this year, which is an exciting 

and an extremely worthwhile 

cause,” said Mr Kirby. 

The students will now think 

about the room’s layout.

RESULTS FROM public 

submissions on changes to 

Cranford St and surrounding 

areas show residents may 

be divided on how they 

would like traffic managed in 

the area. 

More than 400 submissions 

were received on proposed 

options for dealing with the 

increased traffic to the Cranford 

St area, once the Christchurch 

Northern Corridor opens in 

2020. 

Fifty-one per cent of people 

would support Madras and 

Barbadoes Sts being split into 

three sections. 

About two-thirds of 

submissions support the options 

of clearways on Cranford St 

between Innes Rd and Berwick 

St. 

A similar amount support 

upgrading the intersections 

at Forfar and Warrington Sts 

and Barbadoes and Warrington 

Sts. 

Last month, a 500-signature 

petition was presented to the 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board about the changes.

WHO KNOWS where football will take 

Sam Richards. 

Could it be Qatar in four years? 

The Papanui High School student has 

made the wider training squad for the 

New Zealand under-17 team to prepare to 

qualify for the under-17 World Cup in Peru in October (page 13). 

He’s one of the province’s most promising young players. 

Making the World Cup in Peru would be a huge step forward for 

the 15-year-old. 

He’s mixing it with much older players in the Coastal Spirit 

premier men’s reserves team. Toughness I suspect won’t be a 

problem. 

The under-17 World Cup is one of the world’s most prestigious 

youth sporting events. 

The All Whites will need young talent like Richards to get to 

Qatar.

Wet winter causes delays 


THE ST Albans Park upgrade 

has gone over budget and a wet 

winter is likely to see it delayed 

further. 

The cost of the project has 

increased by $160,000 to $2.1 

million. 

The upgrade includes installing 

a drainage system, replacing 

the existing turf with sand-based 

turf and rebuilding the sports 

pavilion. 

City council manager community 

parks Al Hardy said the 

increase was caused by ground 

conditions issues, when installing 

the main drainage lines. 

The ground conditions were 

significantly worse than what 

had been predicted after initial 

ground tests at the time the site 

was designed and specified. 

“A gravel raft was required under 

the main line pipes to meet 

the required standards and sign 

off as required in the contract,” 

he said. 

This required additional excavation 

and supply of the gravel to 

create the raft and had a follow 

on effect of additional material 

(1200 tonne) to be removed from 

the site. Mr Hardy also said wet 

weather has caused the completion 

date to be pushed out to 

December or January 2019. 

Originally, city council predicted 

the pavilion would be 

completed in August and the 

grounds in September, at the 

latest. 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board chairwoman Ali Jones 

said not much can be done 

when the issues are to do with 

the weather. However, Ms 

Jones believes the pavilion and 

toilet block will be complete well 

ahead of the grounds. 

“We are considering having 

an opening event, if there is a 

big gap between the completion 

of the pavilion and the grounds 

being ready,” she said. 

Additional funding for the 

project was included in the Long 

Term Plan, which was adopted 

by city council last week. 

The new pavilion will have 

two public toilets, two changing 

rooms with toilets and showers,

a referee’s room, two storage 

rooms and attic space where 

sports clubs can store gear during 

the off-season. Two artificial 

cricket wickets will also be 

installed. 

The upgrade came as a result 

of ongoing frustration from St 

Albans residents, who said the 

park and playground have been 

a disaster of smelly, brown water 

following the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake.

ZONE ANNOUNCED 

Students living in Shirley, Richmond, 

Avonside, Edgeware and 

parts of Linwood will still be 

able to attend Shirley Boys’ and 

Avonside Girls’ high schools. 

However, the addresses will only 

be deemed ‘in zone’ for as long 

as they contain the children currently 

at the address. The zone 

does not included people who 

move in to the area. 

CHURCH REBUILD 

The site of St Margaret’s 

Presbyterian Church on 

Farrington Ave, Bishopdale, has 

been cleared. The church was 

damaged in an arson attack in 

2016. City council staff have met 

with the building project team to 

provide information and advice 

around community needs. 

NOTICEBOARD MOVES 

The community noticeboard, 

which was installed in front of 

the former Bishopdale Library 

and Community Centre is now 

located in Bishopdale New 

World. After being installed in 

2015, the board was removed 

when the library was demolished 

last year. Since then, city council 

staff have been looking for a new 

placement and late last month it 

was installed in New World by 

the Bishopdale MeNZ Shed.

intersection with too much

OPTION ONE 

Papanui- 

Innes 

Community 

Board 

member 

John Stringer 

writes about 

his views on 

community 

board funding 

RECENTLY THERE was 

controversy (Nor’West News, 

June 12 and 19) over the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board’s decision 

whether to fund a prominent 

Papanui-based trust project 

which delivers unique social 

assistance in north-west 

Christchurch. 

My friend and colleague, 

Sam MacDonald, chairman of 

the community board, publicly 

argued “(social investment) 

should be a responsibility of 

central government not local 

government” and asked for 

comment. 

My view as a community 

board member in the ward next 

door, where this well-known 

trust resides and largely delivers 

its services, is that I disagree with 

him. 

I entirely support Mr MacDonald 

that city council boards must 

DEBATE: John Stringer 

believes ratepayer money 

should be spent on 

community development 

organisations as well as roads 

and infrastructure. 

be more focused on ratepayers 

and pressure on rates. 

However, community boards 

have a role, too, alongside central 

government, in addressing mental 

health, special learning, elder 

support initiatives and families 

in crisis, as much as rubbish, 

reticulation and roading. 

Boards under-deliver on a 

“community mandate” if it only 

considers roads. In our own ward 

of Papanui-Innes, there is an 

important church-based neighbourhood 

trust project addressing 

stress and anxiety in children 

following the earthquakes. 

Similarly, we fund youth 

sports trips abroad for important 

events or youth training, as well 

as many elderly engagement 

programmes, and we build 

disability access ways. This 

is social investment in our 

community. 

The city council does need to 

more narrowly prioritise. We 

do need a ‘razor gang’ on the 


Local 


Now 

‘Social investment’ part of boards’ job 


council to critique large amounts 

of questionable emphasis and to 

re-prioritise rates 

The Long Term Plan has 

challenged us all on that. I agree 

with Mr MacDonald 100 per 

cent that our focus must be on 

ratepayers and their ‘bang-forbuck.’ 

More than 15 per cent 

rate increases over the next three 

years is a runaway horse and a 

cop-out of collective governance 

this term. 

But I disagree with Mr 

MacDonald that community 

boards should defer all 

“social investment” to 

central government. We are 

best placed to discern what 

social investment is needed 

locally. It is one reason for 

the representation changes made 

last term to create more wards to 

better apply local spending. 

Communities are more 

than asphalt, rubbish bags 

and reticulation. Boards 

need to support people, the 

arts, the elderly, the young 

and families. We do this 

with facilities, programmes, 

information, ideas, trees, gardens 

and libraries – which is all 

vital social investment – while 

we wrestle with northern arterial 

motorways, chlorination and 

potholes.

Call for action as reserve 

becomes ‘a swamp’ 

• By Sophie Conrish 

David 

A ST Albans resident is calling 

for urgent drainage work at 

Rutland Reserve, saying it 

currently looks like a “bloody 

disaster.” 

David Brown first contacted 

the Papanui-Innes Community 

Board about the reserve in February. 

However, little has been 

done to address 

its flooding issue 

since. 

“The high water 

level is flooding 

onto the adjoining 

reserve land, causing 

a large area to 

become a swamp,” 

he said. 

Brown 

Mr Brown was told by the 

community board in February 

it would ensure city council staff 

meet or get in touch with him 

about the issue. 

“To the best of my knowledge, 

no such invitation has been 

issued to me and I suspect the 

drainage personnel are none the 

wiser about the condition of the 

reserve,” he said in a recent letter 

to the community board. 

Mr Brown, who has lived in 

SWAMP: A St Albans resident wants action taken to stop the 

flooding at Rutland Reserve. 

Rutland St for 14 years, believes 

the water level is high enough in 

some places that someone could 

drown if they fell in. 

He said the resolution is 

simple. “Clean the existing drain 

that council staff and I dug out 

by hand (two years ago), lower 

the water level and restore the 

reserve so that everyone can use 

it.” 

The community board requested 

an update on the work 

being done or planned for the 

reserve. It hoped to get an urgent 

response to Mr Brown. 

“It needs to be returned to its 

former glory as a reserve where 

people can fly kites, kick a ball 

around, play cricket and do what 

they want to do on it as they 

once did,” said Mr Brown. 

“At the moment the only 

people that are enjoying it is the 

pukekos and ducks.” 

City council manager community 

parks Al Hardy said it 

was aware of the flooding issue 

in the reserve. 

He said it will continue to 

carry out riparian planting to 

moderate the water flow. 


VEHICLES SKIDDING through 

a Redwood reserve are causing 

damage, safety concerns and a 

big headache for one resident. 

Simon Britten first reported the 

problem at Barnes Reserve to the 

city council in about 

July last year. 

After being told 

it would be looked 

into, he is still 

trying to get the 

reserve secured a 

year later. 

“Having the 

reserve accessible

Reserve was still accessible

for vehicles is a serious hazard to 

pedestrians and cyclists who use 

the pathway,” said Mr Britten. 

“Especially at night, given this 

is when a car is more likely to be 

in there doing skids, and noting 

that the park is unlit.” 

Mr Britten contacted the city 

council about the issue again 

in September and was told the 

reserve had been left accessible 

to vehicles so work could be 

completed. 

However, a further request was 

logged to see if this was still the 

case and whether it was possible 

for fences to be reinstated and the 

grass repaired. 

Last week, city council manager 

community parks Al Hardy 

said the reserve is not accessible 

to vehicles. 

“Fences run along the 

northern, eastern and southern 

boundaries. Shrub borders also 

prohibit vehicle access.” 

However, Mr Britten said this 

is incorrect and provided photos 

to Nor’West News showing an 

unsecured entrance. 

“This entrance has two posts 

that would typically be raised to 

form a vehicle barrier, but they’ve 

been in the pictured ‘down’ position 

since some time last year,” 

he said. 

A similar entrance at the 

southern part of the reserve has 

since been secured after Mr Britten 

contacted city council about 

it in June.

Charcoal cooked 

steak and ribs 

Since the early ‘80s, artist Ashley Smith has lived and worked 

from a crumbling, windswept headland on the North Canterbury 

coast. He bought the land after discovering, during the course of 

a six year global odyssey, that his juices liked being near the sea 

and were most stimulated by his home region’s crazy weather 

patterns. 

“The sudden shifts of life’s flow passing through and around us; 

culturally, meteorologically, personally, always have the power 

to surprise. 

You’re an island nation of pristine waters and clamorous birdcall 

when a sail broaches the horizon… 

You glance up from an endless summer to find a rampaging 

southerly bearing down on you. …A young family-man, raising a 

home on a rural headland, a moment’s distraction and suddenly 

you’re an old, bald bloke rummaging for the car keys and your 

friend’s name…” Ashley Smith 

Ashley Smith hopes these paintings, from a milestone period of 

his life will, like life’s gearshifts, have the power to surprise.”

Now 

Principal finishes up at St Margaret’s 


Gillian Simpson 

takes up new 

girls’ school 

challenge 


AFTER TEN years at St 

Margaret’s College, principal 

Gillian Simpson hopes to 

continue “empowering and 

educating young women” in her 

next role. 

Mrs Simpson will finish up at 

the school at the end of this week 

after a decade in the role. 

While continuing to live in 

Canterbury, Mrs Simpson will 

move onto a new venture, designing 

and developing a girls’ school 

in Auckland for “less fortunate 

children in struggling circumstances,” 

she said. 

About 700 people attended a 

farewell event which Mrs Simpson 

described as “completely 

overwhelming.” 

Canadian-born Diana Patchett 

will step into the role at the start 

of term three, leaving her post as 

principal of Auckland’s Kristin 

Junior School. 

“We have had some really good 

times in transition together; it’s 

been really helpful for the community,” 

said Mrs Simpson. 

“She’s just as passionate about 

educating young women as I am.” 

Leading the school’s rebuild 

after the earthquakes, when 

almost 95 per cent of the 

campus was lost, was the most 

challenging time for Mrs 

Simpson. 

“It’s been an incredible 

journey of learning . . . I had to 

learn to work in adverse and 

extraordinary circumstances that 

I’ve never worked in before.” 

Mrs Simpson doesn’t believe 

the role has changed her since 

she first began in 2008, at the age 

of 53. 

SAYING GOODBYE: 

St Margaret’s College 

principal Gillian Simpson 

will finish up her role at 

the school at the end 

of this week. (Right) 

– Board of trustees 

chairman Albert Brantley 

spoke at her farewell 

event. (Below) – Head 

girl Jemima Vaughan 

and deputy head girl 

Mia Thomson make 

a speech for their 

departing principal. 

“The key in leadership is that if 

you are authentic and true to who 

you are then you don’t change. 

For me, it’s about passion, kindness, 

collaboration and community 

– none of that has changed.” 

Mrs Simpson credited her 

husband David, describing their 

relationship as “an absolute partnership 

of support.” 

“He’s the person who’s kept me 

strong all the way through 

. . . he loves the community just 

as much as I do. He was very 

involved during the earthquake, 

right at a grassroots level. 

Mixed reaction to Northern Corridor traffic plan 

•From page 1 

It stated that residents and 

businesses in St Albans, Mairehau 

and Edgeware will pay the 

costs socially and financially to 

accommodate North Canterbury 

residents getting to and from the 

city quicker. 

City council head of transport 

Richard Osborne said the main 

concerns of submitters were the 

loss of on-street parking for local 

businesses, a potential loss of 

a sense of community and the 

safety of pedestrians, particularly 

schoolchildren. 

Co-owner of Sincock and Till 

Audiology, Carolyn Till, is concerned 

she may not be able to run 

her business if the intersection 

outside her work near the corners 

of Barbadoes and Warrington Sts 

is upgraded. 

“There won’t be any point in 

me being here because it will be 

too noisy to practice because of 

the roadworks . . . we are very 

close to the intersection and 

we are a noise-sensitive business, 

we test hearing, I fit hearing aids 

and need a certain level of quietness.” 

“I am also concerned that 

people won’t be able to get to me. 

Some of our clients are 

more elderly and if there is poor 

access then I do have concerns 

about them being able to get to 

me. 

Community board chairwoman 

Ali Jones said the decisions 

are extremely challenging 

for everyone. 

“The board is really pleased so 

many people have contributed 

with their feedback. We are never 

going to please everyone but we 

are working as hard as we can 

to do the best with what we have 

to work with. We look forward 

to working through the community’s 

concerns as we move 

forward.” 

Mr Osborne said all submitters 

will be receiving an email in the 

next few weeks offering them the 

opportunity to speak at a community 

board meeting later this 

year. 

Feedback has been passed onto 

an independent traffic expert 

who will prepare a Downstream 

Effects Management Plan that 

addresses the impacts of the 

CNC.

Mr Holstein 

Kia ora and thank you to 

everyone who attended our 

Open Evening on 15 May. We 

trust you enjoyed your time 

with us, learned more about our 

school, and gained an insight 

into Burnside High School. I am 

grateful to the 250 volunteer 

student guides who were proud 

to showcase their school to you. 

The Burnside High school ethos is expressed in our 

vision, mission and values. We provide an excellent 

learning environment that makes a positive difference to 

people’s lives. We pride ourselves on being a successful 

school that is highly regarded in the community for 

its high-quality, values-based learning and specialist 

facilities. We are a larger school with a community feel, 

offering a wide range of opportunities in a safe, friendly 

atmosphere, and with high standards and expectations 

of ourselves and our students. We base our culture on a 

vision of personal excellence and caring for others. Our 

key values of Manaakitanga - being respectful, Mana 

- having pride, and Rangatiratanga - striving to excel 

guides the way that students and staff act, feel and think 

about themselves and about others. 

Burnside High School has an outstanding reputation for 

its ability to ensure that students achieve very well. We 

do this through our focus on providing a high-quality, 

co-educational learning environment. We are delighted 

that, over the next few years, there will be a major 

redevelopment of our campus. 

Our size and all the advantages that this brings is a point 

of difference and is what makes this decile 8, state, coeducational 

school special. The seven significant features 

that make Burnside High School a leader of learning are, 

in no particular order: 

• We are a centre for academic excellence with an 

emphasis on high-quality teaching practices and 

outstanding achievement. 

• We are co-educational and multi-cultural, reflecting the 

social reality of our nation and our world, and allowing 

young female and male students opportunities to 

develop learning relationships based on absolute and 

genuine respect and equality. 

• Our roll of around 2,500 students enables us to 

provide an extensive, diverse and specialised 

curriculum that caters for and challenges students of 

all abilities. 

• We provide an exceptionally wide range of cocurricular 

opportunities (music, drama, dance, clubs 

and sports) for students to enjoy, learn new skills, to 

make friends, take leadership roles, and achieve at a 

high level. 

• We are a caring school where students are known and 

supported as individuals in a positive, inclusive and 

well-resourced learning environment. 

• We value effective relationships with parents/whanau 

and the wider community to improve outcomes for 

students. 

• We are innovative and responsive to the evolving 

nature of society through continuous and rigorous 

review and evaluation of our systems, practices and 

procedures. 

These seven factors contribute to the obvious pride that 

we all have in our school. 

Burnside High School, in partnership with whanau, has 

the proven ability to assist students develop the skills, 

attributes, and attitudes to make a success of their lives 

in the workplace, in the community, and as members of 

supportive and loving families. I believe in, and am proud 

of, Burnside High School; and feel privileged to be its 

principal. 

Whāia te iti kahurangi, ki te tūohu koe me he maunga 

teitei, ko Aoraki anake 

Pursue excellence, and if you are to ever bow – let it only 

be to a lofty mountain, Aoraki. 

Phil Holstein, 

Principal 

Burnside High School Music Department 

Term 2 has seen a remarkable number of impressive 

achievements by our talented musicians on the national and 

regional stage. 

The Burnside High School Big Band and SMP Jazz Combos 

embarked on a week-long tour of the North Island, performing 

at the Manawatu Jazz Festival and the NZSM (Wellington) 

Jazz Festival where they won a total of 19 separate awards, 

including Best Big Band and Best Combo at each festival. An 

outstanding achievement. 

At the ARA Jazz Quest Combo Competition this success was 

repeated with SMP Combo 1 won “Best Combo” and a further 

five individual awards were won. 

Dr Dave Lisik, Head of Jazz Theory and Composition at the 

New Zealand School of Music writes: “What this doesn’t 

illustrate, given that Burnside’s jazz groups routinely have 

successful individuals and groups winning awards, is how 

the Jazz Programme as a whole continues to improve. Huge 

congratulations to everyone!” 

At the regional NZCF Big Sing competition, Burnside’s choirs 

were once again in the spotlight and received a number of 

coveted awards: 

Junior Performance Choir 

• Outstanding Recital by a Junior Choir 

Aurora Voices 

• Outstanding performance of a composition with a Maori or 

Pacifica text 

• Outstanding performance of an Early Music composition 

• Outstanding Recital by a Treble Choir 

Bel Canto 

• Outstanding Recital by a Girls’ Choir 

Senior Chorale 

• Outstanding performance of a New Zealand Composition 

• Outstanding Recital by a Mixed Voice Choir 

• University of Canterbury School of Music Award for 

best performance of a New Zealand work at the Big Sing 

Canterbury and West Coast competition 2018 

Burnside entered a total of 13 groups in the annual NZCT 

Chamber Music Contest this year, two of which were selected 

for the district, and subsequently, the regional final: RAQS 

(Hijiri Yamamoto, violin; Claudia Crosland, Alto Saxophone; 

Lixin Zhang, piano) and The Rota Trio (Ashley Leng, violin; 

Emica Taylor, flute; Tetsuya Yamada, piano). Maggie Ma (cello) 

and Juliette Ma (violin), both Burnside students also featured 

in the final as part of a composite school group. 

RAQS were successful in winning the Southern Regional Final 

overall, an outstanding achievement in this highly competitive 

contest. 

The Mendelssohn Trio (Lily Doak, Samantha Chiang and Cherry 

Inazumi) won a KBB award at the District Final of the contest. 

Ashburton Exchange 

Just over 130 students travelled to Ashburton to compete 

across seven sports and in 13 matches at the annual 

Winter Sports Ashburton College Exchange. The Sports 

Exchange has been a major and popular event on the 

school calendar for many years. In the past over 200 

students normally compete but this year the wetter 

weather played havoc with the grounds forcing football 

and rugby matches to be cancelled. 

Hayden Cox (Boys Hockey) 

Congratulations to Year 13 student Lixin Zhang, winner of last 

year’s Wallace Piano Competition, on the release of his first CD 

recording on the Rattle record label and for the stunning CD 

launch concert he performed at The Piano Centre for Music 

and the Arts. 

Finally, congratulations to Keira Jonkers (Year 11) and Dylan 

Jonkers (Year 9) for reaching the regional final of the 

RockQuest competition with their bands “Better than Bacon” 

and “Class Disruption”. 

Term 3 sees the national final stages of all three competitions; 

best wishes to all students and staff involved.

The stakes are always high playing for pride and the 

coveted Ashburton - Burnside trophy. Ashburton College 

snuck off with after a close battle winning 7 - 5. Burnside’s 

strength this year was in hockey with both the boys and 

girls teams winning convincingly 7-0 and 8-0 respectively. 

Principal Phil Holstein took full responsibility for the loss 

and offered to walk home from Ashburton! 

It was a very successful exchange with both schools 

continuing to build a strong relationship through sport.

St Alban celebrated for 

the first time in suburb 


ST ALBANS residents have come 

together for the first time to 

mark the day that the suburb’s 

namesake is celebrated. 

A sold-out event at Bailies 

Bar in Edgeware Village saw 

members from several different 

Edgeware and St Albans community 

groups come together for 

a Romano-British-themed meal. 

The menu was based around 

delicacies from the third century 

AD, including barley broth, flat 

breads, mussel pots cooked with 

leeks and white wine, roasted 

winter vegetables, grilled meats 

and baked fruit pieces for dessert. 

The event acknowledged the 

story of St Alban, who the English 

city of the same name was 

named after. The residents celebrated 

the suburb’s connection 

with St Albans in Hertfordshire. 

St Albans in Christchurch 

was named in memory of a 19th 

century duchess of St Albans – 

actress Harriet Mellon. She was a 

cousin of George Dickinson who 

started a farm just outside the 

four avenues, covering much of 

Merivale and Mairehau. 

The name was given later to 

the borough of St Albans, which 

HISTORY: Residents from Edgeware and St Albans came 

together to celebrate St Alban on the saint’s day. 

merged with the city council in 

1903. 

As for St Alban, little is known 

about the martyr’s life, except 

that he was a retired Roman 

soldier who was executed after he 

posed as a Christian priest that 

the Romans were chasing. 

Friends of Abberley Park 

member Patricia Wallace, who 

attended the dinner, said the staff 

at Bailies rose to the challenge of 

presenting a themed meal for the 

occasion. 

“It proved to be such an 

enjoyable evening that there are 

suggestions it should become a 

regular annual event,” she said. 

The former town crier, Stephen 

Symons, also attended and gave a 

speech about both St Alban and 

the English city named after him. 


A POPULAR recreation spot in 

Harewood will get toilet blocks 

to stop people using the bushes. 

Roto Kohatu Reserve on Sawyers 

Arms Rd currently only has 

portaloos. 

City council staff recomended 

the Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

approve two proposed sites for 

two toilet blocks at a meeting 

last night. 

Visitor numbers to the reserve 

– which is home to Lake Rua 

and Lake Tahi – were so high 

over summer that the capacity 

of the portaloos was inadequate, 

and they were quickly filled 

before servicing could be arranged. 

The portaloo contract 

requires a prior notification 

period of several weeks to 

request additional emptying or 

additional portaloos due to unexpected 

demand. This meant

Now 


FACILITIES: Roto 

Kohatu Reserve 

may soon get 

proper toilet 

facilities after 

portaloos failed 

to keep up with 

visitor numbers. 

PHOTO: LOUISE 

MORRISON 

Popular Harewood reserve 

likely to get toilet block 

the portaloos were not emptied 

at the end of the busy summer 

days. 

In a report to the community 

board, city council staff said the 

public were using areas behind 

bushes and containers as toilets 

and had received feedback that 

faeces and toilet paper had been 

seen there. 

The popularity of the reserve 

increased after the city council 

expanded the size of the car 

park and entrance last year, 

making it more accessible. 

Installing the toilet blocks 

will be costly due to the underground 

services which need to 

be installed including wastewater, 

water supply and power. 

No services like this exist 

within the reserve. Close to $3 

million has been included in 

the Long Term Plan for developments 

at The Groynes, Roto Kohatu 

Reserve and Otukaikino 

Reserve.

Christ’s band 

wins regional 

contest in 

quest for 

rock stardom 

A CHRIST’S College band 

has won the Canterbury 

regional finals of the 

SmokefreeRockquest. 

The Subs took out the band 

section on Friday night at The 

Foundry. Middleton Grange 

School band Merlinco was 

second. 

The ZM people’s choice award 

went to Better than Bacon, which 

was formed by students from 

Hagley Community College, 

Burnside High School and 

Shirley Boys’ High. 

The Subs, Merlinco and Better 

than Bacon will now move onto 

the next stage which involves 

creating a 12min performance 

video. This will be judged by a 

panel of industry professionals 

and after that some acts will 

progress to the national final. 

Household A, a combination 

of students from St Margaret’s 

College, Christchurch Girls’ 

High, Christ’s and Shirley Boys’ 

High, was third in the regional 

contest. 

Run 77 won best song and 

Black Wired from St Andrew’s 

College won the Fatboy Style 

award. 

Rangi dancer takes 

out NZ highland title 

SCHOOLS 

VICTORY DANCE: Brooke Kingsbury won the 

Highland Fling under-16 title at the New Zealand 

championships in Invercargill. 

WHILE HER many of her 

friends were getting ready 

for the school semi-formal, 

one Rangi Ruru Girls’ School 

student was putting on a 

formal dress of a different 

kind. 

Year 11 student Brooke 

Kingsbury won the Highland 

Fling under-16 title at the New 

Zealand championships held 

in Invercargill. 

Brooke is thrilled with the 

win, in spite of missing her 

school semi-formal for it. 

“This honour has made it 

worth it,” she said. 

Beginning when she was 

only three-years-old, highland 

dance has been a big part of 

Brooke’s life and requires 

strength, agility, balance and 

precision, she said. 

She sits two major dance 

exams every year in May and 

September, which may result 

in a diploma in a few years. 

Brooke will next compete 

in the under-18 New Zealand 

championships in Ashburton 

this month. She can often be 

seen busking down at Bishopdale 

Mall to raise money for 

her dancing trips. Earlier this 

year, she travelled to Virginia 

in the United States with the 

New Zealand Highland Dance 

Company.

WITH MARY IN FAITH 

TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA 

FROM THE PRINCIPAL 

A highlight this term has been the Academic Colours Assembly which 

celebrate the success of our senior students in NCEA. Colours acknowledge 

ability, hard work and an understanding of our school values – commitment, 

perseverance and courage. One of my favourite sayings is ‘Excellence is 

not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do’. All of us 

are capable of making hard work a habit, in order to achieve to the best of 

our ability. 

On siting matters, the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch is investigating 

sites which could be suitable for our new school and is actively considering 

a number of options. We are excited about the future of Marian and are 

hopeful for a decision soon. 

With blessings 

Mary-Lou Davidson 

Marian College Principal 

MERCY CUP SPIRIT 

Teams of Marian College students 

competed in the Mercy Cup 

Tournament in Timaru recently. The 

annual winter event is held between six 

Catholic schools in the region and each 

take turns hosting. The schools send 

their best football, hockey and netball 

teams to compete and enjoy the spirit 

of competition, collegiality and shared 

Catholic special character and values. 

WELLBEING TEAM 

As winter settles in, the Marian 

College Student Wellbeing Team has 

been bringing sunshine and light into 

the school. 

The team includes students across all 

year levels and is headed by senior 

leaders Megan White and Mia Blyth. 

“Every week two girls pair up – a 

senior and junior student who might 

not know each other – and come up 

with a project drawn from the Hauora 

model of wellbeing,” Megan explains. 

“The topics are physical wellbeing, 

mental and emotional, as well as social 

and spiritual wellbeing.” 

Projects include signing a pledge 

t-shirt against bullying, stress-relieving 

colouring in activities, crafts a ‘shout 

out board’ where compliments are 

shared and a performance by the ‘I am 

Unbreakable’ world hip hop champion 

dance crew (pictured). 

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING 

We wanted a college that could meet the spiritual and cultural needs of our 

girls. We liked the sense of community, that expects and models caring for 

each other. 

Chris and Angela Rewha 

Marian offers a supportive and nurturing environment where our daughters 

are known and not lost in the crowd.

BIG SING 

Marian College’s talented senior choir Messa Di Voce performed in the Big Sing 

- the secondary schools choral festival - at The Piano recently. Messa Di Voce 

received an award for outstanding performance of a Māori song – Tīhore Mai. 

At Marian our daughters have not only thrived academically, they’ve 

received a well-rounded education with a strong understanding of 

community and service.

Papanui High student in 

under-17 NZ squad 

• By Jacob Page 

PAPANUI HIGH student Sam 

Richards may be a boy playing 

men but he is turning heads in 

the process. 

The 15-year-old is the youngest 

player in the Coastal Spirit 

premier men’s reserves team but 

is more than holding his own. 

The defender has made the 

wider training squad for the New 

Zealand under-17 team, which 

are attempting to qualify for the 

under-17 World Cup in Peru in 

October. 

The news came as a shock to 

the centre back who had been 

left out of the talent centre camp 

where players are normally 

spotted and then picked for New 

Zealand. 

“I’d attended a couple (of 

camps) and then found out I 

wasn’t named for the previous 

one so to get the call that I made 

the squad was a little bit of a 

surprise.” 

Sam started playing as a defensive 

midfielder but moved into 

the centre back position more 

than two years ago. 

After making the step up from 

15th grade football to the reserves 

this season, he said he believed 

playing men had improved his 

game. “Initially I was quite nervous 

about it, but after my first 

game that feeling settled down,” 

he said. The speed is quicker and 

obviously the games are more 

physical which took Sam some 

time to get used to. 

“Because everyone is stronger 

than me, it’s really taught me how 

to protect the ball better and use 

my body to keep the ball away 

from attackers,” he said. 

“I pride myself on being calm 

under pressure and I think that’s 

a good quality to have in the

position that I play.” Sam used 

to play touch rugby but he gave 

it away as his commitment to 

football grew. 

“I love the game and, for 

me, I get as much joy out of 

shutting down an attack or 

stopping a goal as others do 

scoring them.” 

New Zealand under-17 training 

camps will be held in Auckland 

throughout the winter. 

Williams pushes for 

powerchair football 

World Cup selection 

• By Jacob Page 

PAPANUI’S DIANE Williams 

is eager to push her claim for 

national selection at the first 

New Zealand Powerchair 

Football tournament in Taupo 

this weekend. 

Williams will have the benefit 

of her community-funded 

$23,000 powerchair, which is 

specifically designed for her. 

“I had all sorts of donations 

from individuals – $1000 from 

the Mike Pero Group 

and $12,000 from (the 

Mazda Foundation).” 

She will represent 

Canterbury at the 

Taupo Sports Events 

Centre from Saturday 

to Monday. 

Following the 

tournament, a team 

will be selected to 

represent New Zealand at the 

upcoming Australian national 

championships in September. 

It has also been announced 

that Australia will be hosting 

the 2021 FIPFA World Cup, allowing 

the opportunity for New 

Zealand to qualify through an 

Asia Pacific Cup qualification 

tournament next year. 

Powerchair football is a competitive 

team sport for people 

SPORTS 

with a physical disability. 

The rules are similar to 

outdoor football with a few 

modifications. Players include 

people with quadriplegia, neuromuscular 

conditions, cerebral 

palsy, head and spinal cord 

injuries and other disabilities. 

Williams (left) suffered 

a stroke in 2010 

which left her paralysed 

down one side of her 

body. 

“Previously I’d played 

indoor cricket and 

indoor netball and loved 

it so wheelchair football 

was a good fit for me.” 

While she has represented 

New Zealand previously, 

Williams said she was motivated 

by the prospect of playing 

in the World Cup. 

“That’s the motivation for 

now,” she said. “Playing the 

game is freeing to me, and when 

I play, I play hard.” 

Williams says her chair, 

which is specifically designed 

for her body, means she can 

play with comfort and freedom.

that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and 

dry and raw throats. 

Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth 

for comfort, and a follow up service is 

provided. 

Denise Lim has been involved with 

Snores for 22 years 

and has had a 98% 

success rate with 

people using the 

appliance. Snoring 

can be a health 

hazard, causing 

sleep apnoea, where 

the person actually 

stops breathing for 

short periods. 

It can cause 

short-term memory 

loss, tiredness and 

contribute to high 

blood pressure. 

The Snorex 

device does not feel 

restrictive, is noninvasive 

and carries 

a money-back guarantee. 

Many people are referred by ear, nose 

and throat specialists, however, anyone 

can phone for an appointment.

The tree of LIFE 

New research on Gingko 

Biloba excites researchers! 

For decades scientists believed brain 

damage with age, after a stroke or injury 

was irreversible and brain neurons could 

not be repaired. In more recent times, new 

research has shown that neurons can grow 

back with the right conditions and that a 

special extract of Gingko Biloba (EGb-761 

or TEBONIN) has been clinically found to 

assist in this. The implications for stroke 

recovery are obvious, but researchers also 

know many of us suffer from undetected 

“micro-strokes” that over a period of time 

slowly reduce 

our cognitive 

function. 

TEBONIN 

is prescribed 

worldwide 

as a natural 

supportive agent 

for a healthy brain 

and cognitive 

function. 

It supports 

healthy mental 

performance, 

concentration, 

focus, alertness, 

motor function 

and to help with 

many conditions 

including tinnitus 

(ringing and noise 

in the ears), vertigo and normal balance. 

TEBONIN improves micro-circulation 

and helps the blood flow reach those 

critical places it needs to get. It is a potent 

anti-oxidant and makes the red blood 

cells more pliable and capillary walls more 

flexible. 

TEBONIN is one of the most widely 

studied and researched herbal products in 

the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba 

extract manufactured via a patented 

multi-step extraction process. Each small 

tablet contains a highly concentrated 

50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic 

clinical dose without having to take a large 

amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba 

products on the market, and tested by a 

major medical journal, only TEBONIN 

passed all five of the test requirements. 

Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements 

and the rest didn’t pass more than three 

out of five requirements. TEBONIN is

the only Gingko biloba extract shown 

to activated all areas of the brain and is 

considered the gold standard in Gingko. 

TEBONIN has been trusted by millions 

of consumers worldwide for over 30 

years with more than 8,000,000 tablets 

consumed each day.

The importance of 

good blood pressure? 

Blood Pressure is an 

indicator of cardiovascular 

as well as overall health. 

Healthy blood flow is vital for 

a healthy body as the blood 

plasma transports nutrients, 

hormones, metabolic waste, 

oxygen and CO2 throughout 

the body. An area in the brain 

keeps check on blood flow 

to ensure health of all cells 

and the organs they make up. 

If blood flow is reduced the 

brain will try to normalise 

blood flow by adjusting the 

heart strength, frequency 

(Pulse Rate) as well as the width of blood 

vessels all via the central nervous system. 

Over a period of time the blood pressure 

may increase due to the deterioration of 

blood flow and other factors. A higher B/P 

is not ideal and is considered a major risk 

factor for strokes, aneurysm, organ failure 

and heart failure. Even moderate elevation 

of B/P is considered a major reason for 

shorter life expectancy. If we can maintain 

our B/P in the normal range our overall 

health will be improved. Systolic B/P (The 

upper figure) is when the heart contracts 

and pushes blood around the body. Ideally 

at rest this should be between 100 to 120. 

The diastolic B/P (The lower figure) is the 

pressure in the arteries between beats and 

ideally at rest this should be between 60 

to 70. 

how’s your blood pressure? 

Keeping our blood pressure (B/P) in the normal range is a positive sign of good health. The higher the B/P above normal the more 

likely we may suffer a stroke, aneurysm, organ failure or heart attack. Even moderate elevation of B/P can lead to shortened life 

expectancy. Checking your B/P on a regular basis with our easy to use B/P monitors allows you to make changes to your lifestyle, 

diet & nutrition when necessary.

It has been found in around 90% of 

cases high blood pressure is caused by 

an increase in the resistance to blood

reasons for this increased resistance.

Get rid of 

dampness 

in your house 

Now with the colder and wetter weather on 

its way, home owners are focusing on ways 

to make their homes comfortable, warm and 

healthy for their families throughout winter. 

Rising damp is an issue that affects many of 

our older properties which suffer from poor, or 

no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake, 

many people have relocated to homes 

that suffer from rising damp which can be 

associated with health problems. Independent 

tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can 

rise from the ground and enter a house every 

day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation 

and musty smells. Moulds can produce 

various allergic reactions and the 

frail, elderly and very young are 

especially vulnerable. 

Canterbury Foam Concrete 

Ltd is a locally owned and 

operated firm. The team 

understands the problems 

caused by rising damp and are 

there to help. They will come 

to your damp home and pump 

a lightweight, flowable foam 

concrete under your timber 

floored home. Specially adapted 


for our New Zealand conditions and 

applications it provides a layer of protection 

against rising moisture. An unexpected 

benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam 

Concrete have noticed recently, is that many 

owners of properties which had underfloor 

foam concrete installed, reported that it also 

provided protection against liquefaction after 

the earthquakes.

HOME & HEATING 

Choosing the 

right heat pump 

for your home 

Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit, 

most homes include at least one heat pump, 

if not a whole heating solution. They can 

provide cheap, clean heat and are much more 

convenient than a log burner as you just need 

to press a button. But how do you decide what 

is best? Choosing the right sized heat pump is 

key to ensuring optimum comfort levels. Every 

situation varies and it is therefore important 

to get professional advice from heat pump 

experts. 

The range varies from wall mounted high 

walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems, 

ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted 

central heating systems allowing you to have a 

very discreet way of heating your whole home 

to a constant temperature throughout. 

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that 

is suitable for the size of the space you wish 

to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to 

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area 

taken into consideration but also, insulation, 

building orientation, windows and ceiling 

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps 

available with different heating outputs so it 

is important to select the correct size for your 

requirements that will handle the job but not 

be unnecessarily overpowered. 

Secondly, the location of your heat pump 

is also extremely important. The cheapest 

installation is a back to back where the outdoor 

unit is positioned directly behind the indoor 

unit however this is not necessarily always 

the best option. It is vital that the indoor 

unit is positioned in a place that will not be 

constantly blowing on you. Also important, is 

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people 

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly 

in their outdoor entertaining area or right 

outside their bedroom window. 

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands 

have come and gone over the years but there 

are a number of manufacturers who provide 

reputable and reliable products. All brands vary 

in their energy efficiency, quietness of systems 

and price, so it depends on your application as 

to which will be most suitable. Major brands 

such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin, 

Toshiba and Hitachi are all reliable brands 

backed up by good technical after sales service. 

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an 

accredited installer. This will not only ensure 

correct installation of your heat pump, but also 

validate the manufacturers warranty. 

Other things to consider when choosing a 

heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the 

remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi 

capabilities. 

Heating is a major investment in your home 

and it is vital to get the right advice. 

Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply, 

installation and servicing of all major brands 

of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers 

ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as 

to which system will suit your application 

the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no 

obligation quote and will come to your home 

to see what is required.

What do you need 

to stay warm this 

winter? 

In just three easy steps, you 

can escape the winter blues 

Step one: Get sound heating advice from 

the experts. Heat Pumps NOW believes in 

customer centred solutions. That means they

installers, which means they really know their 

stuff. 

Step two: Ask the friendly team at Heat 

Pumps NOW to Fit a Fujitsu. With a very 

limited number of 6.4kW Fujitsu hi-wall heat 

pumps available for just $2937 fully installed*, 

staying warm this winter has never been easier.

with 

manufacturer warranty, and Heat Pumps 

NOW’s one year labour guarantee, you’ll love 

knowing that your heat pump will last for 

many winters to come. 

Step three: Have someone else pay your 

power bill!

July gets you in the draw to have Heat Pumps

they’ll cover all of one lucky person’s heating 

during July to the value of $700. That’s one way 

to beat the cold this winter.

4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 1 living room | 3 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing #SM0030 

Designed to take advantage of the 

spectacular panoramic view of the Southern 

Alps, this ultra-modern four-bedroom 

home will bring out your inner entertainer. 

The property is being sold on an uninsured 

“As-Is, Where-Is” basis, deemed repairable 

with excellent floor levels. 

The largely stainless-steel kitchen exudes 

an industrial vibe and is positioned to 

naturally overlook the tiled dining room. 

Enthusiastic entertainers will adore the 

separate living zone that comes complete 

with a cocktail bar which is sure to be the 

scene of countless social gatherings. 

Alfresco living will be a regular 

occurrence out on the patio, with the 

pergola offering a seamless extension of 

the home while the presence of glass walls

provide shelter without obstructing the 

vista beyond. 

Floor to ceiling double height windows 

optimise the magnificent all-encompassing 

outlook that captures Castle Rock, the 

Kaikoura Ranges and everything inbetween. 

Designed with flexibility in mind, there is 

a master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe 

and ensuite on either level, while two 

further bedrooms on the upper floor share 

the remaining bathroom. 

Double glazing on the upper level, two 

heat pumps and a vacuum system are 

convenient inclusions internally, whilst the 

outdoors provides excellent drive-on access 

and expansive garaging that can host three 

vehicles plus a workshop. The relatively flat 

section provides for easy gardening and a 

safe and accessible area for children to play 

freely. 

Offered to the market for the first time 

since being built in 2000, this home will 

attract buyers who are looking to pursue 

a renovation project in this sensational 

location. This fantastic property really 

needs to be viewed to appreciate all that is 

on offer.
