Haeata principal Andy Kai 

Fong announced on Friday 

more than 360 students, in 

190 homes across Aranui, will 

have free Wi-Fi access for their 

school learning. 

In the last census, more than 

40 per cent of the Aranui community 

did not have access to 

the internet. 

The project is co-ordinated 

by the Greater Christchurch 

School Network Trust 

on behalf of Haeata and 

supported by Chorus, Cyclone, 

crown agency Network for 

Learning and the Ministry of 

Education. 

Mr Kai Fong said that 

internet and devices are a 

luxury many cannot afford. 

“This creates a huge disadvantage 

for these families and 

this initiative aims to bridge 

that digital divide.” 

All Haeata students between 

Breezes Rd, Pages Rd, Wainoni 

Rd and Anzac Drive will be 

able to access the school 

network through 66 wireless 

points installed by Chorus staff 

across that area.

Playground closure gets backing 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

Paul Lonsdale 

BUSINESSES HAVE supported 

a decision to close the New 

Brighton Beachside Playground 

over the first week of the school 

holidays. 

Development Christchurch 

Ltd has decided to close the 

playground over part of the 

school holidays to allow for 

upgrades to get under way. 

Work began last week and it 

will remain closed until October 

5 while upgrades are undertaken. 

DCL said 

doing the work 

now would 

have less 

impact than if 

it was carried 

out over summer 

when the 

park would be 

busier. 

“We do appreciate that the 

work runs over the start of the 

school holidays and we apologise 

for any inconvenience this 

may cause,” a spokesman said. 

While some concerns have 

been raised over the timing of 

the closure, businesses have 

been supportive of the decision. 

New Brighton Business and 

Landowners Association manager 

Paul Lonsdale agreed. 

“While it is a little bit inconvenient 

for part of the school 

holidays, it is best to get it out of 

the way,” he said. 

Bin Inn New Brighton owner 

Nikki Griffin said while the 

school holidays are not ideal, the 

work is never going to be convenient 

over the warmer months. 

“It would be a positive if they 

kept to the schedule and got 

it open in the second week, it 

would be even nicer if they got it 

open earlier,” she said. 

Paper Plus New Brighton 

owner Blair Hughes said it is 

“the best of the worse case.” 

“My only concern is I think 

sometimes they rush things. 

Last year they opened it, I think 

they should have waited and 

done it completely and utterly 

right the first time,” he said. 

The $100,000 revamp includes 

the installation of two new 

mini -trampolines, spinning

Veterinary practice 

SURGICAL CRISIS IN TWO 

WEE PUPPIES 

Meet “Alice Victoria”, a 6 month old black and white Cocker Spaniel 

and “Poppy” a 6 month old Pomeranian who recently had very long, 

detailed and difficult surgeries basically to save their wee lives. 

Let’s start with 

the adorable, lets 

run at a hundred 

miles an hour, 

Alice Victoria - 

obviously named 

after royalty (her 

mum is British!). 

Whilst out 

coffeeing and 

chatting with her 

mum, Jean 

pointed out a 

very small 2mm 

x 2mm small 

white spot 

inside her left 

nostril. It wasn’t 

bothering her 

and didn’t seem 

painful to poke. 

She’s a very 

adventurous 

little girl so initially I thought trauma from 

diving in and out of bushes. A short course 

of antibiotics was prescribed in case of 

localised infection. 

Two months later it was still present, so I 

decided to biopsy the spot. It hadn’t grown 

and wasn’t painful or infected but her 

mum wanted a diagnosis. I was shocked 

and surprised to get a diagnosis back of 

MCT (Mast Cell Tumor) which is a malignant 

tumour commonly seen in dogs and cats – 

although a MCT inside a nostril I hadn’t seen 

before and in a puppy so young! 

We urgently sought the advice of Oncology 

specialists in Australia to work out what our 

next move should be. They recommended 

radiotherapy (very expensive and difficult to 

do in pets with nasty side effects) or surgical 

removal (also difficult to ensure complete 

excision due to the location of the mass). 

Chemotherapy was the 3rd option. Alice 

had extensive blood testing, radiographs of 

her lungs and a thorough Ultrasound of her 

abdomen. No abnormalities or secondary 

tumors were observed. 

So Dr Steve Heap was nominated to perform 

the delicate corrective surgery. It was an 

exhaustive, delicate 2 hour procedure to 

remove the mass and surrounding nasal 

tissue and her subsequent draining lymph 

node. Her wee nose looks slightly wonky 

now but is functional and comfortable and 

she’s alive!!! We are awaiting histology and 

grading results from America to see whether 

Chemotherapy will be needed as well. 

We also performed a CT on Alice’s brain at St 

Georges to make sure no tumour metastases 

were detected as Alice started acting quite 

bizarrely suddenly. Thankfully all was clear. 

Tiny 2.5kg “Poppy” was referred to Catherine 

Morganti one Friday for an endoscopic 

examination as something was stuck in her 

oesophagus and she couldn’t eat and was 

trying to be sick. Usually these exams are 

fairly quick and successful in retrieving the 

culprit but not so in Poppy’s case. 

Unfortunately after over 2 hours of 

Catherine and Kirsty working the endoscope 

down Poppy’s throat (with Poppy under 

anaesthetic) and trying hard to dislodge 

the stuck object, it was decided to perform 

exploratory surgery, opening up her 

stomach, trying to reach the object from 

the inside. Steve scrubbed in as well and 

eventually with a 

team of 3 vets and 

2 nurses on the 

job, the object was 

finally removed 

(which was the 

rubber off a 

pencil and a large 

doggie treat) – a 4 

hour anaesthetic 

in total on a 

Friday night 

(Lucky we 

love surgery 

and helping 

pets as we 

get many 

Friday night 

emergency 

operations to 

perform). 

Poppy needed to spend a few nights at the 

After Hours Clinic in critical care and a few 

days with us on intravenous fluids to get her 

stable, eating again and back to her cheeky, 

gorgeous little self. 

A successful great outcome for both Alice 

Victoria and Poppy. Let’s hope the rest of 

their lives going forward are not as dramatic 

as the first 6 months have been! 

Steve and I can’t thank our fabulous, 

dedicated and expert team of Vets and 

Nurses enough, who willingly stay behind 

late to perform in many cases miracle 

surgeries. We are so PROUD of our people 

and the work they do on our patients.

Support for fireworks change 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

COMMUNITY groups 

and businesses have 

supported a change of date 

to New Brighton’s iconic 

fireworks event. 

The display will 

be held on Friday, 

November 2, at New 

Brighton Pier rather 

than the traditional 

Guy Fawkes night 

on November 5. 

City councillor 

David East said it 

is a good idea and 

ultimately the event 

needs to move away 

from Guy Fawkes 

as it has little 

significance to the 

country. 

“Guy Fawkes, 

it is not exactly 

something particularly 

relevant in New Zealand,” 

he said. 

David East 

Nikki Griffin 

Cr East said it would 

be ideal for shops to 

stop selling fireworks in 

celebration of Guy Fawkes 

and just to have the annual 

fireworks display in New 

Brighton. 

Bin Inn New 

Brighton owner 

Nikki Griffin 

said it is good the 

fireworks will be 

shifted to Friday 

night. 

She said it will 

give families more 

time to enjoy the 

evening and put less 

pressure for people 

who have work or 

school the next day. 

“If it keeps an 

event in Brighton it 

is all positive,” Mrs 

Griffin said.

‘Dangerous’ crossing concerns 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

MAIREHAU RESIDENTS have 

voiced their concerns over a 

“dangerous” pedestrian crossing 

which is used daily by Mairehau 

Primary School children. 

The crossing on Innes Rd 

was brought up at a recent 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board meeting after resident 

Fiona Norton raised the issue in 

a letter. 

The New Zealand Transport 

Authority recorded five crashes 

at the crossing dating back to 

2002 – one fatal, one serious, one 

minor and two non-injury. 

Community board member 

Pauline Cotter said the crossing 

would be investigated by staff. 

“Sometimes these things aren’t 

as dangerous as people think 

they are. So we look to see if 

there have been injuries, and if 

there haven’t been many, then 

it doesn’t rate very highly as a 

priority.” 

She said residents wanted 

traffic lights installed near the 

crossing to slow motorists down, 

but a viable solution could not 

be decided until the staff report 

came back. 

Fiona Norton lived just along 

the road from Mairehau Primary 

School, but she refused to 

let her children walk to school by 

themselves, in spite of being 

able to see the crossing from her 

gate. 

“Young children and elderly 

people use this crossing constantly,” 

she said. 

“It seems to be one or two cars 

go through without stopping, 

and if they do stop, the scary 

thing is they’ll wait until you 

get halfway and they’ll roar off 

behind you.” 

Mairehau Primary School 

principal John Bangma said the 

crossing had been an issue for 

“many years,” and he had been 

on the city council’s case to find 

a solution. 

“When I first started at 

Mairehau we unfortunately had 

an incident where an elderly lady 

crossing the road was killed,” he 

said. 

“While people legally have to 

stop when we have one side [of 

the lollipops] out, most people 

ignore it.” 

He said the best solution 

would be to install a set of traffic 

lights at the corner of Innes Rd, 

Philpotts Rd and Kensington 

Ave to slow motorists. 

“St Francis School has the

same issue with its crossing. If 

we had those traffic lights, both 

schools could cross safely,” he 

said. 

“I have just question, how bad 

does it have to get before they 

realise it’s a problem?” 

St Francis School principal 

Jo Earl said the main issue was 

with motorists not respecting 

the road rules. 

“There have been minor 

accidents, bumper to bumper, 

out there – people get frustrated 

because of the back-up of traffic 

when both road patrols are 

operating.”

Artists picked 

to enliven 

New Brighton 

THE TWO artists tasked 

with brightening up the New 

Brighton foreshore have been 

revealed. 

Josh O’Rourke and Nathan 

Ingram won the SCAPE Public 

Art Trust’s Re:Activate 2018: 

New Brighton competition. 

In November, Ingram will 

have his work produced on the 

basketball court off Marine Pde, 

while O’Rourke’s will be placed 

on the mural wall south of the 

pier. 

The project is expected to cost 

$60,000, and will be funded by 

Development Christchurch Ltd 

and SCAPE. 

Said SCAPE public art director 

Deborah McCormick: “Both 

of these works have strong 

visual impact, and will be unmissable 

and add a wow-factor 

to their site,” she said. 

O’Rourke’s design is an abstract 

version of a topographic

weather systems and the impact 

they have on residents and visitors. 

Ingram’s design features 

abstract and geometric forms 

in bold colours which represent

NEW BRIGHTON’S favourite 

rugby son, Ryan Crotty, had 

time for his travelling fans 

after the All Blacks loss to the 

Springboks last Saturday. 

The All Blacks midfielder, who 

has played for New Brighton 

since he was an under-five 

junior, took selfies and signed 

autographs with a large group 

of fans dressed in New Brighton 

colours at Wellington’s Westpac 

Stadium. 

The 29-year-old, who has 

played 39 tests, got through a 

full game of rugby after returning 

from a head knock which 

saw him leave the test in Sydney 

against the Wallabies three 

weeks ago. 

The All Blacks play Argentina 

on Sunday morning (NZ time). 

There’s never been a more appropriate 

time to buy a hybrid or electric vehicle. 

Fuel costs are soaring, and global warming, 

much of it attributed to fossil fuel emissions, is a 

definite reality. 

So if you want to do something for 

the environment and save yourself some 

cash at the weekly fill-up, then visit Trevor 

Crowe, at CroweSport, 518 Moorhouse 

Ave, for a lifestyle change. 

The man who runs the business owns 

the business, and Trevor, or any of the 

friendly sales staff, can get you into an 

electric vehicle or hybrid of your choice. 

There are no fewer than 15 vehicles to 

choose from, a mixture of fully-electric 

plug-in Nissan Leafs to the hybrid petrol/ 

electric Prius. 

Trevor says his stock consists of topgrade 

models sourced from auction in 

Japan. He chooses only the cars with 

good battery life, and the cars on the yard 

are displayed with the battery condition 

visible. As with all cars on the yard at 

CroweSport, the electric vehicles can be 

serviced on-site by trained technicians. 

Cars on-site vary in age from 2011 to 

2017, and those with the latest generation 

30kWh batteries can be expected to 

provide a range of up to 190km. However, 

petrol/electric Prius models are there for 

those who experience range anxiety. 

Prices for the Leafs start around $13,000 

and end at around $30,000. 

“The Leaf is the perfect urban commuter 

– buyers who work in the city can travel to 

work, swing by the supermarket on the 

way home, and charge up from the home 

supply overnight,’’ Trevor says. 

“Charging costs can be measured 

in cents, trickle charging overnight is 

the kindest on the batteries although 

fast charging on a journey won’t do the 

batteries any harm.’’ 

Trevor is fully committed to the electric 

revolution, and says there is a point of 

difference in the models he chooses, 

they are hand-picked and have workshop 

backing. The first service is without cost, 

as well as the first warrant of fitness. 

While there is a heavy emphasis on 

electric vehicles, the name CroweSport 

is also synonymous with the sales of 

Subaru vehicles. There are a wide range of 

Subarus on-site, mostly pre-owned from 

Japan. 

Part of CroweSport’s success as a 

business is down to Trevor’s proud 

motorsport heritage. Major successes 

include several New Zealand saloon 

car championships, and the Asia Pacific 

touring car championship, with a fourth 

at Bathurst and third at the Wellington 

Street Race in 1988. On shingle, Trevor 

has won more than a dozen rallies, the 

Ashley Forest rally sprint, and he is the 

current Race to the Sky two-wheel-drive 

champion. Trevor still competes, and 

his race or rally cars are prepared in the 

CroweSport workshop. 

“Motorsport is at the cutting edge 

of technology. Understanding the 

complexity of tuning and setting up a 

car for racing or rallying filters down to 

day-to-day mechanics at workshop level,’’ 

Trevor says. 

Trevor is an engineer and is still hand’son 

in that side of the business. Engine 

reconditioning is his speciality, although 

he says they will take on anything from 

a lube or tune-up right through to full 

engine and gearbox overhauls. Nine 

technicians are on site, and annually the 

company takes on an apprentice, skills 

developed through old-school training. 

The CroweSport workshop team is highly 

skilled and they will service any make or 

model. 

Trevor says many of his customers are 

sport and recreational enthusiasts along 

with those who are lifestyle and familyorientated. 

And, of course, if you want a 

performance enhancement, CroweSport 

Subaru Specialists 

has built up an enviable reputation in that 

field. 

Trevor’s philosophy is to get it right first 

time, the company has high standards 

and that reflects on the quality of the jobs 

that go out the door. Although Trevor 

leads from the front, he says the company 

is like a family. Staff have input in the way 

the company runs and operates. 

“I want the customer to leave without 

being presented with any surprises. We 

treat the customer as if they are a family 

member. 

“Treat them like they are your mother,’’ 

he says. 

Carrying the Trevor Crowe name also 

means putting it right. 

‘’We don’t expect things to go wrong, 

but problems will be sorted out and the 

customer is always told what to expect as 

the process unfolds, and the cost will be 

presented to the customer well before the 

car is picked up.’’ 

For all your motoring needs or to 

change your vehicle, the CroweSport 

name means quality and reassurance. 

“It’s about knowing how to do the right 

thing by the customer,’’ Trevor says.

TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA 

MESSAGE FROM 

THE PRINCIPAL 

The Marian College Future Focus 

team, which includes Board and staff 

members, is beginning to plan for 

the new school. We are taking the 

opportunity to visit other schools, and 

in particular, to learn from the many 

other rebuilds in Canterbury. 

Our aim is to create a school, which is 

designed to match our quality teaching 

practice. Marian College’s special 

Catholic character, school spirit and 

traditions, such as Feast Day (pictured) 

will also be reflected in our new school. 

A key part of the planning will be 

engaging with our whole community 

for input into the new Marian College. 

Marian College thanks the Catholic 

Diocese of Christchurch and Bishop 

Paul Martin for their ongoing support 

and guidance. We are confident the best 

decision possible will be made for our 

school. 

In the meantime, Marian is continuing 

to flourish. I hope you enjoy reading 

about our latest happenings. 

With blessings 

Mary-Lou Davidson 

Marian College Principal 

HOUSE PANELS BLESSED 

FEAST DAY 

FESTIVITIES 

Feast Day – celebrating the 

Assumption of Mary – is the most 

anticipated religious event on the 

Marian College calendar. Feast 

Day includes Mass, which this year 

was celebrated by Bishop Paul 

Martin SM, a house group singing 

competition, talent quest and 

chanting competition. 

Congratulations to Seymour House for 

top points on Feast Day 2018. 

Marian College parents Luke Carey and 

Janine Altenburg-Carey have created 

four woven house panels, made from the 

majestic pin oak which once stood on the 

former Marian College site. 

The panels represent the four Marian 

College houses – Takahe, Deans, Seymour 

and Brodie – and were blessed by Bishop 

Paul Martin SM at Mass on Marian’s 

celebration of Feast Day this term. To 

discover the story and meaning behind the 

panels, visit the news section on the Marian 

College website.

REMARKABLE RESULTS 

The Marian College literacy programme 

– known as The Writing Group – is 

producing remarkable results and helping 

to bridge the gaps for some junior students. 

“I think a lot of the students are finding the 

one-on-one time really beneficial and we 

are seeing the results. As well as measuring 

progress, for us it’s been about bridging the 

gap for these students, so they are better 

placed to catch up and be closer to the level 

they should be at,” explains teacher Ellie 

Caradus who heads The Writing Group. 

Marian College Principal Mary-Lou 

Davidson is impressed with the writing 

group’s progress. 

BIG SMILES NO MATTER THE CONDITIONS! 

Our sports teams are living examples 

of our school values of courage, 

perseverance and commitment. Well 

done to all our teams, coaches and parent 

supporters who travelled to compete in the 

Secondary Schools Winter Tournament this 

month. Go Marian! 

There really is no 

substitute for dedicated teachers 

working closely with students. 

The progress we are seeing is a 

result of positive relationships 

between skilled Marian staff, 

and students who feel supported. 

Mary-Lou Davidson 

Marian College teacher Ellie 

Caradus heads The Writing Group. 

Marian College is part of the Catholic 

Community of Learning Kāhui Ako, where 

schools support each other to lift student 

achievement. The schools target agreed 

focus areas, such as literacy, which are 

funded and supported by the Kāhui Ako.

Leni raises $2k in memory of dad 


THREE YEARS ago Leni 

Smith decided she needed to do 

something to help fight cancer 

in honour of her late father. 

Now 13-year-old 

Chisnallwood Intermediate 

head girl has raised nearly 

$2000 on her own by selling 

raffle tickets for two prize 

baskets to support the Cancer 

Society of New Zealand. 

It is the third year she has 

raised money for the society . 

Last year she raised more than 

$1500. 

Her fundraising is a tribute 

to her late father, Pete Smith, 

who died eight years ago from 

mesothelioma, a cancer caused 

by exposure to asbestos. 

“My dad died of cancer when 

I was five and I want to help 

change that. I don’t want that to 

have to happen to anyone else. 

I think it is really important 

to me to help how I can,” Leni 

said. 

Her mother Emma Smith 

said Leni started fundraising 

in June and, over the past three 

weeks, had done some “serious 

door- knocking” in areas like 

Prestons, Tumara Park and New 

Brighton. 

Leni is about $30 off reaching 

her target of $2000.

her brother Lucas, 11, growing 

up without a father figure in 

their lives. 

But she said she is proud 

of her daughter and Leni had

boating team in New Brighton. 

“Being physically active is so 

good for our physical well-being. 

I’d love to support anyone getting 

active if I can,” Ms Williams 

said. 

Phillip Goundar said the 

opportunity to compete in the 

Coast to Coast would create 

memories forever. 

“I didn’t have a racing bike 

capable of doing the Coast to

gear you need to make it 

through, so competing wasn’t 

an option for me. Once I heard 

about this opportunity, I knew I 

had to take it,” he said.

Chisnallwood 

teacher hits 

right note 

•From page 1 

Mrs Bell, along with the 

orchestra and choir, put on a 

performance for Ms Parata to 

highlight why the school should 

not be closed. 

“We had a surprise performance 

set up in the foyer. We played the 

Crusaders theme because that 

really represents Canterbury. It 

was a powerful moment,” she 

said. It was a memorable moment 

of her teaching career. But it is the 

day-to-day highlights that are her 

biggest motivation. 

She said she didn’t think 

intermediate was the age she’d be 

teaching when she first started. 

“It’s good to discover music in 

the intermediate years. It’s when 

I first really started playing. They 

can be quite hard, but can be the 

best years,” she said. 

Mrs Bell said she has loved 

music her whole life. She first 

started playing piano and guitar 

in primary school, but really 

found her passion when she learnt 

clarinet in intermediate. 

“Then I learnt brass just so 

I could be in the brass band 

at high school. I wrote for the 

orchestra and went to Canterbury 

University to study music. I didn’t 

even think about my career, I just 

knew I wanted to learn music.” 

As well as leading 

Chisnallwood’s music 

department, Mrs Bell is the 

president of Music Education 

Canterbury, where she coordinates 

music at organisations 

such as Canterbury University, 

Ara Music Arts and the 

Christchurch School of Music. 

She is also on the board of 

Music Education New Zealand 

Aotearoa. 

Whoever nominated her 

remains a mystery. “I don’t know 

who nominated me, but I am 

really, really thrilled. I respect 

everyone who does my job so it’s 

really humbling,” Mrs Bell said. 

The Vodafone New Zealand 

Music Awards will be held at 

Auckland’s Spark Arena on 

November 15.

Congratulations to Maggie Carroll and Liza Khorozova who 

are now National Culinary Champions having won the National 

Secondary Schools Culinary Challenge 2018, held recently at 

the Manukau Institute of Technology. 

Our team competed against seven regional winning teams, 

coming away with gold medals. They had to prepare, cook and 

present, four individually plated portions of an entrée and four 

portions of the main course within 90 minutes. 

The entrée had to contain fresh New Zealand grown tomato as 

the principal component of the dish. The main course portions 

had to include at least three fresh New Zealand grown 

vegetables, one of which had to be a potato. The protein 

component was produced from a Waitoa chicken breast. 

Tomato Entree 

Tomato tart with fresh tomato and basil salad, manuka smoked 

tomato foam with goats cheese accompanied by a rich tomato 

sauce. 

Chicken Main 

Chicken breast filled with broad bean farce on truffle potato 

puree with petite crumbed sausage, seasonal vegetables 

served with jus and tarragon cream sauce.

Governor General 

visits the school 

This term, Burnside High School was lucky enough to have Her 

Excellency the Rt Hon. Dame Patsy Reddy, Governor General 

of New Zealand visit our school. This began with a welcome 

from our Kapa Haka group, Head Students and Senior 

Leadership. 

She visited a selection of classes in our very successful Visual 

Arts department followed by a senior Hospitality classroom. 

An interactive discussion took place on the ‘Into Motion’ hui 

(@intomotionnz) which was a conference based around 

gender equality held at Burnside High School last term. 

Altogether, the visit was a success and we hope it gave 

Her Excellency an interesting look into Burnside High School 

culture. 

Music Success 

Term 3 has seen an incredible series of musical 

achievements on the local and national stage. At the ARA 

JazzQuest competition Burnside High School Big Band 

won a Gold Award and the “Best Big Band” title for a fifth 

consecutive year. Our Junior Jazz Ensemble and Funk 

Band also won Gold Awards. 

RAQS (Hijiri Yamamoto, Claudia Crosland and Lixin 

Zhang) reached the National Final of the NZCT Chamber 

Music Contest and won the KBB Award, a huge 

achievement in this highly competitive field. 

Our senior choirs took part in a day of workshops and a 

concert under the guidance of renowned American Choral 

Director Jo-Michael Scheibe. Later, they competed at 

The Big Sing National Finale where both Bel Canto and 

Senior Chorale won Gold Awards with Bel Canto also 

picking up the Tour Time trophy for “Best Performance of 

a Classical Work”. Malestrom once again won the regional 

Barbershop Chorus contest and go on to compete at the 

National Finals in Tauranga. 

Our Concert Band and Orchestra are now National 

Champions, both ensembles having won their class at the 

Wellington Band and Orchestral Festival. The Concert 

Band and Junior Concert Band also won Gold Awards at 

the CWSTMA Wind Festival in Christchurch. 

The finale to our busy term will be “The Rat Pack”; a 

tribute to the songs of Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and Dean 

Martin performed by our multi award-winning Big Band 

with 20 piece string section and vocal soloists from the 

Specialist Music Programme. This concert is being held 

at The Piano, 7.00pm on Saturday 29th September and

Mathematics success 

for Burnside High 

In May this year 1100 top Year 12 and 13 Maths students from 

throughout the country sat the preliminary paper for the 

New Zealand Senior Mathematics Competition. From this 

large group the top 15 students in the country were selected 

to take part in the final at Victoria University in Wellington 

on August 17th. Two of the top 15 were from Burnside High 

School: Robin Wan, Year 13, and Ethan Ng, Year 12. 

The final consisted of a 4 hour paper of very challenging 

mathematical questions. After the papers had been marked 

the top 3 place getters were announced. Ethan Ng was 

placed second in this very prestigious competition. This is 

an outstanding effort, especially considering that Ethan, 

at age 13, was four or five years younger than the other 

finalists. Congratulations to both Robin and Ethan.

Shirley trust makes most of new space 


The Shirley Community 

Trust has been operating 

for almost 20 years and 

has recently welcomed 

a new building at the 

MacFarlane Park Centre. 

Ashleigh Monk visited 

the centre to see what 

the trust was all about 

EVERY DAY Ian Dunbar sits at 

the entrance of the MacFarlane 

Park Centre and greets people as 

they walk through the door. 

Everyone is welcome here at 

the Shirley Community Trust, 

the community worker says. 

They can take part in the centre’s 

many activities or have a chat 

and a cup of tea. 

“People put Shirley down at 

times, but there’s some really 

good people in Shirley. People 

with good hearts. It’s like any 

other suburb, there’s good parts 

and not so good parts,” says Mr 

Dunbar, who works part-time at 

the centre. 

The centre’s a bit cramped in 

the main building; one round 

table is crammed into the end of 

the room, surrounded by chairs. 

But at the end of August, 

volunteers and staff at the centre 

welcomed a new building, which 

provides space for more people to 

gather. 

“We couldn’t do a lot of things 

because we didn’t have the 

space before, but now with two 

buildings, it’s better because we 

have the room for more groups,” 

Mr Dunbar said. 

And the space was definitely 

needed – hundreds of people 

regularly use the facility, and 

over the course of the year, about 

15,000 volunteers come and go, 

keeping the place running. 

“It takes a lot of work to keep 

this place going. Even one day a 

week, it takes about 60 volunteers 

to do that. You have people 

cooking or doing baking, and 

people just being here to support 

others.” 

Mr Dunbar has been working 

at the centre for about nine 

years – but it was established

long before that. The centre was 

brought to life in 1999 by a group 

from Shirley. 

The first centre was in St 

Stephens Church, but as the need 

for space grew, it moved in 2002 

to the former Plunket rooms on 

Acheson Ave. 

“It was seen as a bit of a dodgy 

area, so Plunket went elsewhere 

and the Shirley Community 

Trust set up here,” he said. 

The centre plays host to about 

25 different events and activities, 

including a fruit and vege co-op, 

a foot care clinic, barista training 

and a monthly community lunch.

in Romania, Russia and South 

Africa. 

“We’ve sent 1000 garments out 

this year,” she said. 

“When the earthquakes 

happened, we decided we’d do 

it for Christchurch. We knit

Another of the centre’s 

community worker’s Sharyn 

Burnett has been with the Shirley 

Community Trust since it

“It’s just finding people in the 

community who have skills and 

talents and utilising them. That’s 

really everything this place is 

about, making people realise 

they’ve got skills and giving 

them the confidence to put them 

into use.” She said the most 

cost to relocate the building 

would be $100,000 but more 

detailed planning revealed it 

would cost $225,000.

council’s Annual Plan, and an 

additional $125,000 was fasttracked 

for the move. 

rewarding part of her job was 

hearing the “glowing reviews” 

from those who visited the centre 

- particularly elderly people who 

attended the foot care clinic to 

have their nails trimmed and feet 

massaged. 

“Other than being good for 

the health of their feet, for a lot 

of elderly people that are coming 

in that’s a big outing for them. It 

becomes a real social thing,” she 

said. 

“And let’s be honest, some of 

us can’t reach our toes anymore,” 

Mrs Duff said. 

“The one that really touched 

me was this man who lost his 

wife about 10 months ago,” Ms 

Burnett said. 

“He’s a gentleman at the best of 

times, he’s just who you’d wish 

to have as your dad or granddad. 

He hadn’t been back here in quite 

a while but I got this message 

from his daughter and she said 

‘he’s been raving about you guys, 

but it’s been a struggle to get him 

here because he thinks he’s been 

away too long and you wouldn’t 

want him back’.” 

“As soon as he came in, I just 

got up and gave him a hug. He 

said ‘did you miss me?’ and I 

said ‘did we what! Of course we 

missed you’. His daughter said 

he needed something like this to 

brighten his day, because all he 

does is sit with his photo albums, 

looking through them. They were 

married 64 years, and wherever 

there is space for a photo of 

her around his house, there’s a 

photo.” 

And it wasn’t just elderly people 

who visited the centre. 

“We had a wee boy come to 

the coffee mornings and the first 

time he came, he was dressed in 

a suit. It was like he was coming 

for a job interview, I said he was 

the best-dressed man we’d ever 

seen here. He wants to be a chef, 

and I tell you what, he had some 

amazing knowledge of food.” 

Ms Burnett said people who 

ran and visited the centre had all 

become “a great big family”. 

“We wouldn’t have it any other 

way.”

Questions raised on the 

frequency of pier cleaning 


MESS ON the New Brighton 

Pier has prompted questions into 

how often it is cleaned. 

The Coastal -Burwood Community 

Board requested the 

pier’s cleaning regime from city 

council staff at a recent meeting. 

Board deputy chairman Tim

up after he noticed it was “quite

PEGASUS POST 


Golf club gears up for centenary 

Avondale Golf Club 

general manager Richard 

Sinclair writes about the 

new clubhouse recently 

completed 

FOR MORE than 90 years a 

familiar building occupied the 

corner of Breezes and Wainoni 

Rds. 

In late July this year, that 

quickly changed. 

A cornerstone of my childhood 

in Avondale and many 

other members’ golfing lives, the 

clubhouse at the Avondale Golf 

Club was demolished. 

Tinged with sadness, there was 

a silver lining for the golf club. 

The fantastic new clubhouse 

that had opened at Easter now 

stands alone in pride of place. 

This new clubhouse is the most 

interactive and inviting I’ve seen 

in my 30 years playing the game. 

Flying in the face of the discounts 

clubs were resorting to in 

attempt to attract members, the 

decision was made to “increase 

value” by investing and improving 

a member’s experience, not 

to reduce price. 

PROUD: Richard Sinclair in front of the new Avondale Golf Club building. 

Central to increasing value 

are two “virtual golf” simulators 

within the lounge of the new 

clubhouse. 

The functionality and flexibility 

of the new clubhouse 

alongside continual course improvement 

post-earthquakes has 

helped to increase membership 

by more than 25 per cent in the 

past 10 months and it continues 

to grow. 

Junior golf numbers have also 

grown rapidly with Andy Sams 

coming on board as golf professional. 

Andy’s passion for golf shows 

as his junior clinics regularly see 

20-30 juniors and their parents 

on course and enjoying the benefits 

of the simulators. 

Socially and ethically rewarding 

has been the use of the clubhouse 

by residents for functions 

and specifically hosting charitable 

quiz nights supporting local 

causes and residents. 

The Avondale Golf Club is now 

in its 99 th -year and is proud to 

be a part of the re-building and 

re-shaping of our community as 

we approach our centenary. 

Within our centenary calendar 

for 2019 is a charitable tournament 

to benefit our local community 

amongst a host of other 

events. 

We believe growing our game 

at Avondale is growing our 

community and we’d love to see 

you soon. 

Readers respond to city 

councillor David East’s bid 

for an independent inquiry 

into why a clause was left 

out of the District Plan that 

made it difficult for people 

in the High Flood Hazard 

Management Area to build

Aileen Trist – We are so 

lucky to have our representative 

city councillor David East 

watching our backs and going 

out to fight for the community 

on the east. This whole process 

he is going through at the 

moment to help the people 

fight a prejudice city council 

has shown how the other 

councillors are afraid to be up 

front and honest regarding their 

thoughts on the matter in case 

they are not kept in favour other 

members of the city council— 

very disappointing. 

The revolution

is here now! 

Bruce Perkins – Yes, I agree 

that city councillors should be 

able to criticise the council if it 

is in the interest of the public. 

There is too much hidden when 

they supposed to be running 

the city with ratepayers’ money. 

Readers respond to 

the Pegasus Post article 

on the Coastal-Burwood

Bridge 

Aileen Trist – I have been 

working with city councillor 

David East regarding the fronds 

since they were taken down in 

2010. They suffered no damage 

then but the New Zealand 

Transport Agency were worried 

they could be a danger to cars 

crossing the bridge. Cr East has

behalf to come up with a plan to 

make them a stand-alone display 

by the bridge until they can be 

put back up in their rightful 

place. There is no reason this 

should not go ahead sooner 

rather than later. I fought hard 

with Cr East to have them put 

back after they were taken down 

in 2008 and I would like to see 

them put back now not 10 to 20 

years later. 

Michele and Carl Craw – 

Yes, we would like to see 

these works of art re installed. 

There seems to be money for 

other projects but once more 

the eastern suburbs don’t have 

too many councillors speaking 

on their behalf. The district 

council is showing a definite 

lack of goodwill when it comes 

to improving the environment 

in our areas. Now the excuse is 

the planned replacement of the 

bridge. Another excuse that lacks 

credibility. 

Helena Beran – No I don’t 

think they should be re installed. 

When they were up they used 

to freak me out every time I was 

driving past them. On a windy 

day you see them moving. To me 

they were an accident waiting to 

happen. Had a real fear off them 

flying off. I’m sure other people 

would have felt the same. I was

down. 

A reader responds 

to the Pegasus Post 

article on the Coastal- 

Burwood Community 

Board approving 35 trees 

to be planted at Rawhiti 

Domain 

Carl and Michele Craw – 

If we have at times criticised 

the city council for being 

reluctant to spend money on the 

eastern suburbs, credit should be 

given where it is due. In this case 

its agreement to plant 35 trees 

at the Keyes Rd entrance to the 

domain will, we are sure, make 

a difference. This will beautify 

the area, enhance a healthy 

environment and perhaps best 

of all, will show residents that 

their needs and wishes are not 

systematically overlooked.

Christchurch School of Music in the community 

Christchurch School of Music on a 

Saturday morning is a really exciting 

place to be! Everywhere you go there 

will be music wafting through the doors 

and windows and lots of excited children 

and happy adults heading towards their 

classroom. If you come on down to our 

Open Day at 62 Ferry Rd (Catholic 

Cathedral College) on Saturday 29 

September between 9am and 1.30pm 

you can see (and hear) for yourself! 

You will even get the chance to try out 

an instrument for yourself in the ‘Try an 

Instrument” room. 

This Open Day is part of a week of 

CSM ensembles playing across the city 

as part of our “CSM in the Community” 

event. We will be in markets, malls, 

hospitals and churches at various times 

across the week. Check out our Events 

Guide for days and times. 

The CSM is a family-oriented 

community aimed at providing 

quality music education in and around 

Christchurch. The school has been an 

important part of the Christchurch 

music education scene for 63 years so 

why not come along and join us? 

From ages 2 to 92 we have something 

for everyone. On a Saturday morning the 

whole family can find something to suit. 

Preschool and junior school children can 

start their musical journey by joining in 

our experiential “Take Off with Music.” 

The classes are carefully planned to 

ensure maximum fun, engagement and 

music learning. 

At 4½ years children are also able to 

begin learning Suzuki violin or cello 

with our very experienced Suzuki 

teachers and at 5 years old the recorder 

is a great way to start children learning 

an instrument that will set them up with 

music reading and musicianship skills 

that will last a lifetime. 

Older children and adults may opt for 

group or individual lessons on a specific 

instrument (including voice). Those 

who already play are welcome to join 

in one of the great ensembles which all 

take part in regular concerts including 

Saturday soirees and a wide range of 

community events. Recitals where 

individuals can perform are also held 

regularly. 

The UC Christchurch Youth Orchestra, 

CSM’s top orchestra, generously 

sponsored by the University of 

Canterbury Foundation, has an exciting 

concert series throughout the year. Their 

upcoming concert, “Halloween” being 

held in the Christchurch Girls’ High 

Auditorium on 27 October is an excellent 

opportunity to hear Christchurch’s top 

youth musicians in concert. (Tickets 

available through Eventfinda) 

With six orchestras, two concert 

bands, a Big Band, a jazz combo, six 

wind ensembles, rock bands, two choirs, 

chamber groups, a samba band and a 

guitar ensemble there is an ensemble to 

suit all levels and all ages. 

CSM also provides a comprehensive 

music education to participating primary 

schools via its Outreach programmes. 

Programmes are offered in band, strings, 

recorder and ukulele in a wide range of 

Christchurch schools. 

Another popular area of the School 

is the Late Starters programme where 

adults approaching retirement with 

more time on their hands have really 

enjoyed learning an instrument they 

never had the chance to play in their 

early years and join an ensemble with 

other like-minded adults. 

If Saturday isn’t an option, CSM also 

offers a range of weekday opportunities 

for learning and playing music. 

If affordability is an issue, CSM may be 

able to offer a discount through funding 

provided by the Rata Foundation. 

Enrolments are open for 2019 so come 

on down and have a look around or 

check out our website www.csm.org.nz 

and let us start you on a musical journey 

that will bring pleasure for a lifetime.

The gospel 

music of 

Elvis Presley 

"It's a great honour to fulfil one of Elvis' 

dreams and put together a gospel show of 

his favourite songs” - Andy Stankovich 

ANDY Stankovich performs the Grammy 

Award-winning Gospel Music of Elvis 

Presley at the Isaac Theatre Royal in 

November. 

Marking the 41st Anniversary of Elvis' 

passing, the incomparable Andy 

Stankovich (whose uncanny voice has 

stunned even Presley's own gospel backing 

group, The Jordanaires) steps into Elvis' 

shoes and recreates the unforgettable 

sound of an icon with Elvis: The Gospel 

Music. 

Elvis has always been a big part of 

Andy’s life. From as early as the age of 

seven he clearly remembers singing Elvis 

classics at family gatherings. Having 

performed throughout Australia, New 

Zealand, America and the Pacific, Andy's 

ambition has always been to keep the 

music of Elvis alive and this is evident in 

the sincere performances he gives. 

Musical Director, Mark Dennison, will 

bring together an all star cast, including the 

Memphis Show Band, a handpicked 

selection of some of the country's finest

For one night only, the music 

that defined and shaped an icon, 

will take centre stage. Timeless 

classics from ‘Amazing Grace’, ‘In

a few bargains as well. Sit down and have 

your hair curled by the Vivo team for free and make sure you have your photo 

taken in front of the Vivo photo wall so you can enter to win a fabulous makeover 

package. 

Mama Lash will be at the Expo for the first time. Stop by their large Pamper 

Lounge where the team will be offering Expo visitors lash extensions and brow 

treatments onsite. If you have always wanted long, thick and full eyelashes then 

chat to the team onsite and discover the easy way to achieve fabulous looking 

eyes that will make you stand out in a crowd. You can either have your eyebrow 

extensions done at the show or simply watch a demonstration to see how this 

stunning look is achieved. 

After a successful show last year, Sparklewhite Teeth will once more be offering

visitors lining up to take advantage of the amazing expo only prices. Sparklewhite 

Teeth have developed a new technology for teeth whitening that works so

session. Create a positive attitude for yourself and improve your appearance while 

achieving a more youthful look with your new radiant smile. 

Sparklewhite will also have the fascinating Aduro’s LED mask onsite for visitors 

to try out at the show. A re-invention of the traditional facial mask brought up-todate 

through the use of LED light technology Aduro’s patented design follows the 

contours of the face and covers the entire facial area in therapeutic light – offering 

a full facial rejuvenating experience, for range of skin imperfections including acne 

and signs of aging. 

Before you leave the Expo take your tired feet over to the Southern Reflexology 

Group Lounge and treat yourself to a relaxing reflexology treatment. 

The ancient Chinese practice of reflexology, a manual therapy focusing on the 

feet, has recently enjoyed a surge in popularity as a modern holistic therapy to 

relieve pain and stress. Reflexologists believe that different areas on your feet and 

hands correspond to other parts of your body, and massaging them stimulates 

your parasympathetic nervous system to heal itself. Reflexology can help to create 

a healthy harmonious state within the body and triggers the body’s natural powers 

of self-healing. 

Find out more from the Southern Reflexology Group onsite at the Women’s 

Lifestyle Expo.

THE ULTIMATE 

WEEKEND FOR 

WOMEN IS 

BACK! 

The Expo is a perfect place to meet for a girl’s day out but it’s also a great 

place to escape and have some well-deserved “me time” if you would 

rather browse the sites by yourself at your own pace. With so much going 

on and with Door sales only $10 there is every reason to visit and none to 

stay at home! 

Renee Murray from NZME Events says “Our aim is to have as wide of a 

range of companies involved with the Expo as possible. Women are all 

different and their individual interests are so diverse. One woman may 

be interested in gourmet food but the woman beside her may be more 

interested in organic skincare or booking a V8 Supercar drive. We have 

artisan crafters like jeweller Debra Fallowfield exhibiting alongside national 

brands like Vivo Hair and Suzuki. It’s great on the weekend to see all the 

various women visit the show, from teenagers to business women, mothers 

to grandmothers and friends simply enjoying each other’s company”. 

CleanPaleo launching new product at the Expo 

CleanPaleo is a NZ company dedicated to creating great tasting, clean, 

whole food products that let your body know that ‘You Mean Business’ when 

it comes to looking after yourself. The Expo will give visitors a chance to 

buy their brand new Better Balls product, a revolution in healthy snacking 

because they genuinely are a healthy snacking option – less than 20% sugar 

and they taste amazing! Make sure you stop by the CleanPaleo site in the 

Expo Taste Zone where you can also chat with reality TV couple and health 

gurus Art Green and Matilda Rice. 

Since appearing on The Bachelor NZ, Art and Matilda have both become 

proponents of healthier eating with Art extending his interest in healthier 

living into a business venture, part-owning Riot Foods, which consists of 

sub-brands Clean Paleo and Poppy and Olive which you can both discover 

at the Women’s Lifestyle Expo. 

The popular Craft Zone will include artisan crafters from all over New 

Zealand with gorgeous original products often not found in shops including 

kitchen herb planters, soaps & beauty products, original art, home decor, 

handmade jewellery, beeswax wraps and more. 

For a ‘tasteful’ experience like no other, head to the ‘Taste Zone’ where you 

can experience, try, and buy a range of fantastic products, so why not treat 

yourself? From wine to paleo food, meat rubs & spices and even french 

terrines, parfaits and pates you can tantalise your taste buds with a tasty 

treat from the Expo Taste Zone. 

Grab a Goodie Bag bargain!
