NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday July 3 2018 7 News Local News Now Principal finishes up at St Margaret’s Fire rages, homes at risk Gillian Simpson takes up new girls’ school challenge • By Sophie Cornish 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.
