Queenspark revel in<br />
environment awards at<br />
whole school assembly<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
A SMALL celebration was held in<br />
recognition of Queenspark Primary<br />
School keeping its patch of land litter-free<br />
and tidy.<br />
Two Keep Christchurch Beautiful<br />
awards were presented to the school in<br />
Parklands at an assembly on Tuesday.<br />
The awards were<br />
presented by Mayor<br />
Lianne Dalziel. Keep<br />
Christchurch Beautiful<br />
chairwoman Alexandra<br />
Davids, secretary Linda<br />
Keall and Coastal -<br />
Burwood Community<br />
Board chairwoman<br />
Kim Money were also<br />
Chris Kime present.<br />
The school and its<br />
caretaker Chris Kime<br />
were recognised for<br />
going “above and<br />
beyond” to make the<br />
city a greener place<br />
at the annual KCB<br />
awards.<br />
However, principal<br />
Kim Money Ross Willocks was<br />
unable to attend the awards ceremony so<br />
he decided to have a special assembly to<br />
present the awards to the whole school.<br />
Mr Kime said it was a significant<br />
achievement to have 25 years of friendship<br />
with KCB, which was why the school<br />
wanted to make a big<br />
deal of the awards at its<br />
assembly.<br />
“Having Lianne with<br />
us was such a privilege<br />
and a honour and it is<br />
not the sort of thing<br />
she does everyday,<br />
going out to schools,”<br />
he said.<br />
Pupils from Korea Ross Willocks<br />
and China were also<br />
welcomed at the assembly and were the<br />
first children from overseas to be hosted<br />
at the school since the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake.<br />
The certificates also acknowledge<br />
Queenspark’s commitment towards the<br />
maintenance and upkeep of Queenspark<br />
Reserve.<br />
In November, the school will receive<br />
a 25-year service award for its long<br />
association with Keep Christchurch<br />
Beautiful.<br />
